Chapter 773： Lithography

Yang Chengqian smiled, "Consul Zhang is too acclaimed. I didn't expect to alarm you today. I'm really sorry."

Minister Wu who was smiling on the side answered, "Mr. Yang, even if the things you asked me to do not come today, I will call you. Fortunately, with the help of Consul Zhang, I found a suitable one for you. Buyers."

Yang Cheng pretended to be surprised, "Oh? What a surprise, how can this little matter bother the consul, the younger generation sins."

Consul Zhang was dissatisfied and clicked on Yang Cheng. "We don’t have to be polite. We are all Chinese. Mutual assistance is a traditional virtue. If you don’t mind, I call you Xiao Yang. I believe you are not a procrastinating character. The time I took the initiative to help match the bridge is also considered something to ask for."

Yang Cheng felt both surprised and reasonable about Consul Zhang's altogether. It seems that Ms. Zhang has a very tough personality.

But now that he knows what the other party wants, it's easy to handle it. He likes fair trade best, and no one owes anyone.

Minister Wu saw that the two of them began to talk about business, and quickly stopped the topic and suggested, "This is not a place to talk. Why don't you find a room to talk slowly?"

Yang Cheng naturally doesn't have any comments.

Soon, a few people came to a vacant room. Except for a few single sofas, there was nothing in it. Yang Cheng seemed very free and easy, and he didn't feel neglected at all.

, Consul Zhang was polite, "Master Yang, forgive me, the sorority will begin immediately, and I can't be late, so I will make a long story short."

Yang Cheng nodded in understanding, "Of course, Consul Zhang is not very polite, you can speak up, and I will not refuse if I can help."

"The buyer who helped Mr. Yang to contact this time is Haihang Group. They are stepping up their deployment in the oil and gas field. Glencore's oil storage business is just right for their appetite. There is no truth in it. As long as you offer the price However, Haihang said that he would never bargain." Consul Zhang clarified the bargaining chip as soon as he opened his mouth. While this made Yang Cheng delighted, he also secretly increased his vigilance. It seems that the other party's plan is not small.

Yang Cheng nodded blankly, "So, what do I need to pay?"

Consul 　　 lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Although Young Master is not in China, he must have heard about the West's blocking of lithography machine technology in my country."

This topic is clear, Yang Cheng's mind sank, and the secret path is now in trouble. In the field of world electronic technology, chips are undoubtedly the top priority, and the chip technology of country Z is behind the world because of various reasons. The heart disease of the Chinese people and the shortcomings of the cutting-edge technology of chips have made country Z suffer from the long-term control and monopoly blockade of Western countries.

The Americans tried to kill the rising chip manufacturing of Country Z in the cradle through various trade methods. The face of Chi Guoguo has long been known to everyone, but Country Z has no way. Who makes the core of this technology— —The lithography machine is not in the hands of the Z people.

For many years, the lithography machine of chip manufacturing equipment has been firmly controlled by Western countries. Chips cannot be manufactured without lithography machine, especially the high-end lithography machine with the highest technology and the most advanced in the world is the Netherlands. Asimer can only produce less than 20 high-end lithography machines a year.

Asimer was originally a puppet of the United States, and would never dare to easily sell the lithography machine to China. Therefore, country Z has always lacked the cutting-edge technology of chips and the core technology is controlled by others. Therefore, no matter how rich it is, it cannot buy high-end ones. Lithography equipment.

Country Z’s dependence on imported chips stems from its excessive demand. It is the world’s largest chip consumer. Without technology, it can only import abroad. It not only consumes a lot of precious foreign exchange resources, but also constantly looks at people’s faces. Of course, no Selling country Z chips is equally uncomfortable for the other party. In fact, the supply of military-grade and high-performance chips mainly relies on domestic production, and there is no way to import them in large quantities. However, when the two intersect, country Z has suffered a greater loss.

And now the appearance of Yang Orange has given some people a glimmer of light.

Consul Zhang’s meaning is self-evident. He hoped that Yang Cheng would help Country Z to buy a lithography machine. For this reason, Consul Zhang even released a rhetoric, "Young Master Yang, don’t talk nonsense. We will never treat our own people wrongly, as long as Yang The son can help get a high-end lithography machine, even if there is only one, there must be a good deal."

Yang Cheng couldn't help but press his temples with a headache, and grandma gave a ball. This wave of losses was huge. He didn't dare to expect too much for the generous report from Consul Zhang. His brain was running at high speed, trying to find a lithography machine. The solution, the acquisition of Asimer? Don't even think about it!

Acquiring a chip company that owns a lithography machine? This can be considered, but the maneuverable space is too small, and Yang Cheng’s goal is too big to make it difficult for people to doubt. Even if the lithography machine is actually installed on the ship, the US Navy has 10,000 ways to intercept in the Pacific. !

Negotiate a deal directly with Asmer? It seems that he can't produce any high-tech, right? Besides, if this method is feasible, Country Z would have done it by itself, so does Yang Cheng need it?

Every plan was rejected by myself. Seeing Yang Cheng scratching her head, Ms. Zhang did not urge her. She still had hope for Yang Cheng because of her previous investigation and understanding of Yang Cheng.

The Yang family still has a heart for the motherland, and Yang Cheng, a young man in the eyes of Ms. Zhang and the high-levels, seems to be able to find a way to make money, and judging from Yang Cheng’s investment history, no one has failed yet. Cases, of course, may also be the reason why the time is too short.

But it cannot be denied that Yang Cheng’s talent in the commercial field, and no matter how high-end the lithography machine is, it is a product in the final analysis. Asim is also the world’s only high-end lithography machine manufacturer. Other countries also need to order and pay. It's not a random gift. Since it's a normal business transaction, Yang Cheng has room to display his talents.

While he was deeply distressed, Ms. Zhang's remarks greatly relieved Yang Cheng’s pressure, “In fact, the West has been exporting lithography machines and other equipment to China to restrict the development of related industries in China over the past few years, but the actual significance is not great. .

After all, there are too many factors restricting the development of chip technology, which can not be solved with only a few advanced equipment. There are too many technical difficulties involved. Advanced production equipment does not mean mastering advanced chip technology.

So Western countries have also realized that whether or not to block high-performance lithography machines is not decisive, but may be counterproductive on the contrary.

Country Z has never given up on the development of related technologies. Only in terms of lithography machines, Country Z has already achieved certain technological results in the 1970s, although there is a big gap with Western technology, even several generations. , But with the advancement of electronic technology, this gap is narrowing indefinitely, and it may only take a few more than a few years to smooth the gap.

Of course, the West has already learned to be smart now, knowing that rigid restrictions are difficult to achieve good results, so the direct embargo has been lifted decisively, and the development of related equipment in Country Z has been combated by commercial means.

The embargo policy remains the same, but with the progress of country Z, it has been gradually revised. At least some low-end and second-hand lithography machines can be obtained as long as they are willing to pay a certain price, but when we spend a lot of effort to break through a certain technology At that time, the West loosened corresponding restrictions and took the market with low-priced products, which made it difficult for our products to be sold, which would have a negative impact on subsequent development.

This trick is indeed very heart-warming, so we cannot give up our pursuit of high-end lithography machines. As long as we have advanced technology, we have the confidence to catch up with the leaders and even create advanced chip technology that belongs to our country Z. "

After listening to Yang Cheng quietly, he probably understood what Consul Zhang wanted to express. The transportation restrictions on China's lithography machines still exist, but they are limited to high-end areas. In fact, the gap has been opened. As long as Yang Cheng can get them, the West The world will not attack Yang Cheng for this. With this guarantee, Yang Cheng can be relieved, at least not to worry about being retaliated against afterwards.

However, whether even one can be purchased is still a big problem for Yang Cheng. As mentioned earlier, Asim is the world’s largest lithography equipment and service provider, monopolizing 80% of the market. The above share Only the Netherlands can manufacture top lithography machines in the world, and even the United States does not have its own lithography machine manufacturer.

With such cutting-edge and sophisticated high-tech equipment, even ASM can only produce about 20 units per year, and the share has already been fixed. As far as Yang Cheng knows, the world’s largest chip foundry company alone has ordered 10 South Korea’s Sanxing Electronics has ordered 6 sets, and Intel has pre-ordered 3 sets, which means that only one set is left for Yang Cheng and countless countries and manufacturers that need lithography machines are competing for the price. It will often sell at sky-high prices, even far better than the luxury homes in Beverly Hills.

Of course, as long as you get the share, money is not a problem for the people of Z, but he has to figure out how many Consul Zhang needs.

After throwing out this question, Consul Zhang also rarely showed embarrassed expressions and cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment. "We were satisfied with one, but now several chip manufacturers have been established in China. Everyone needs high-end light. Engraving machine to assist research and development.

So, it would be best if there were two, but as long as we get one, we will be content. This is the truth. "

Yang Cheng glanced, suppressing the desire to complain, and reluctantly nodded, "I know, I will try my best to find a solution, if necessary, I hope you can provide me with some help."

Consul Zhang decisively accepted, "I understand that Young Master Yang can contact me if you need it. In addition, after I communicated with Haihang regarding Glencore's oil storage business, they expressed their willingness to acquire a wholly-owned acquisition for USD 1.6 billion. ."
