Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On September 18, Meng Qian returned to Hangzhou. Meng Qian still didn't know what the final result would be. It was just that the leader said to him before parting that the front wave should not use his own eyes to limit the back wave.

The development of international public opinion in the past few days is beneficial to Dafeng Group. After all, the United States now obviously chooses to face, so they will care about this kind of public opinion.

But the matter of increasing the ban on the sale of materials this time does not mean to be revoked. After all, it is a ridiculous thing to change the order overnight, and this time the matter itself is more aimed at the development of Dafeng Group and Huaxia's entire high-tech. Now there are Many people don't want to see Dafeng Group and Huaxia Hi-Tech develop so smoothly.

"What do you all think now?" Meng Qian called all the executives together after returning.

"Judging from recent developments, this targeted suppression of materials may be a test." Xiao Boshi was the first to speak, "Obviously, the opponent is very concerned about our development, and even our China's technological development. The situation has entered a stage of high attention, and throwing out a relatively suitable card can not only limit our development to a certain extent, but also see how we can deal with it.”

"Then what do you think you should do?"

Xiao Boshi glanced at the others before saying, "Counterattack."

From this detail, Meng Qian can basically confirm that these people in front of him have communicated with each other before, "It seems that you have been getting together a lot these days."

"When something like this happens, no one can sit still."

Meng Qian nodded, "Then let's talk about your considerations."

"Now we have two paths, one is to endure silently, develop silently, and hope that the opponent will not make further moves. This is a somewhat aggrieved choice, but when the strength is not as good as the opponent, bear the humiliation and bear the burden." It is also a strategy to try hard.

But the night before yesterday, Director Sun accidentally said that it would be great if we could develop for another three to five years, which suddenly made us want to understand many things.

Yes, if we can develop well for another three to five years, maybe we will be able to have more strength to fight against, but we understand this truth, and our opponents also understand, so no matter what, they will not give us In the past three to five years, they are trying to curb our development when we are not yet strong.

At the same time, at least for now, Dafeng Group is the representative of the highest technological level of Chinese private enterprises. Our attitude will be noticed by many people, and our attitude will have a deep social impact.

And the company is just a company after all. The company and the country are not the same concept at all. The country is responsible for everyone. When the country dies, everything is gone, but the company is gone. "

There was a slight smile on Meng Qian's serious expression. In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he had to hold a high-level meeting because he wanted to know their attitude, "Then how do you plan to fight back?"

"The biggest impact of this incident on us is actually the development of lithography machines, so we think it should be the most appropriate to counterattack with lithography machines."

Meng Qian didn't object, because he thought the same way, and what made Meng Qian feel more relieved was that they had made all the preparations, and they were waiting for Meng Qian's last nod.

Such a management team made Meng Qian feel more at ease.

On September 20th, every Chinese person who opens the hot search will see a message, #天价监督费#.

Click on the topic, and the content shows: Dafeng Group filed an infringement lawsuit against ASML and Zeiss in the United States, the European Union, Germany, the Netherlands, and Neon Country, demanding that ASML pay 80 billion soft sister coins and Zeiss pay 20 billion Soft sister currency, and suspend the sale of existing lithography machines.

Adding up to 100 billion soft sister coins, this is indeed a sky-high price in an infringement case. Although this is only a request made by Dafeng Group at present, ASML and Zeiss may not necessarily pay that much, or even , but the topic of this matter is enough to attract the attention of the global media, especially at the moment when Omi has adopted a material ban on China.

Everyone's first reaction was that the Gale Group's counterattack was coming.

And the second reaction is, are ASML and Zeiss really infringing so seriously?

The fact is, it’s pretty much the same, because Dafeng Group acquired Nikon’s lithography machine industry. In the Nikon era, ASML and Zeiss used a lot of Nikon’s technology. Later, ASML took advantage of the immersion lithography machine. Well, in order to keep up with the times, Nikon signed a 10-year patent cross agreement with ASML and Zeiss in 2006, but Nikon did not succeed in keeping up with the times in the next ten years. The big news that Nikon sued ASML and Zeiss in 2017.

Because Nikon knew that he had lost, he just tore his face, and it would be nice if he could get some infringement fees back. However, in 2017, many Nikon patents were outdated, and the light source and lens had entered the EUV era. Coupled with Intel's appearance, Nikon, which has been declining, has almost nothing in the end, and ASML and Zeiss have used Nikon's foundation for free until the EUV era.

As for the immersion lithography machine, the audience must still remember how Meng Qian applied for a patent like crazy back then, and even had to try the water patent.

Therefore, in 2009, the era of lithography machines that has not yet entered the EUV era, ASML and Zeiss not only infringed on Nikon’s technology, but also infringed on the technology of Dafeng Group.

Perhaps this infringement fee will not reach 100 billion, but it will not be too low.

After the news came out, there was no response from ASML for a long time, because they were checking whether all the patents mentioned by Dafeng Group had really been applied for. After checking, they found that Meng Qian was indeed a patent maniac. There were only unexpected patents, no Meng Qian. Humble not to apply for a patent.

In addition to Nikon's patents, Dafeng Group now holds more than 30,000 related patents, of which more than 5,000 patents are very important, and Meng Qian finally took out this weapon.

So Asmail didn't know how to respond for a while.

On the other side, Meng Qian was being interviewed because of this matter.

"Mr. Meng, many people are curious about the sky-high infringement fee this time. Did ASML and Zeiss really infringe so many patents of your company?"

"If not, they wouldn't have gone two days without a response."

"In that case, why didn't Dafeng Group ever sue them before?"

"How to put it, in fact, deep down in my heart, I am very reluctant to bring out patents. The world calls me a patent madman, but you see, I almost never use so-called patent weapons, because we are facing Patent barriers have been passed, so we know that patent barriers are one of the three major obstacles to the development of contemporary science and technology.

We know what evil is, and we naturally don't want to be that evil ourselves.

Emphasizing patents, our starting point is more of a kind of self-protection, protecting us from being bullied by patent barriers, colleagues protecting our own technology can get due rewards.

So we have always been only responsible for collecting patent fees, but we don’t need to use patents to suppress the development of others. In this process, many companies actually owe us a large amount of patent fees, and we hardly urge them to pay them, because we I am busy developing technology, and I don't have so much energy to manage so many things.

The reason why we asked ASML and Zeiss for payment this time is mainly because of some recent events that have slowed down the development of our lithography machines.

This gave us suddenly more time to deal with some other things, and then we noticed that ASML and Zeiss have not paid us, so let's rush.

After all, just because we don't urge money doesn't mean we approve of this practice of using other people's technology and not paying money. "

Meng Qian smiled kindly at the camera, but the senior executives of ASML and Zeiss, who were watching the interview, felt chills behind them.
