Although Zhou Ming and Caitlin have been careful, the news of quietly taking over lithography technology was still known by wealthy families such as Piero and Freeman.

"Sure enough, haha! No matter how careful that guy Zhou Ming is, as long as he is on our territory, we have ten thousand ways to get his news!" Freeman said excitedly.

Judging others by oneself, whether Piero Freeman or Tesman, these Yang Ji wealthy families do not think that Zhou Ming would be so kind to help them win this capital war. They thought that Zhou Ming must have other plans from beginning to end, so they have been staring at Zhou Ming through various channels.

From installing stealing and hearing devices, to monitoring phone calls, intercepting radio signals, etc., we can even cooperate with intelligence departments.

The arrangement of Zhou Ming to live in George Town was one of their conspiracies.

However, due to the existence of the King of Soldiers, and even Han Zhen also sent people to help them with anti-monitoring training from time to time, their theft work has not made much progress.

But the more they couldn't find the information, the more they felt that there must be a ghost in it, so they became more serious about the related work.

It was not until recently that they found professional intelligence personnel and identified their long-standing monitoring signals that they finally determined Zhou Ming's intention.

Of course they were also very cautious. As soon as the conclusion came out, Boya asked them if it was Zhou Ming who deliberately misled them.

Intelligence officials were quite angry about this conjecture, believing that it was an insult to their profession.

He said that they did not draw conclusions based on a certain piece of information, but based on all the information they intercepted, and indeed caused noise or current to interfere with each other, but they extracted the keywords and analyzed them for more than a week before they finally came up with the final result.

I see.

Boya and Piero were relieved.

It’s not that they are so cautious. They have been cheated by Zhou Ming too many times, which makes them feel that Zhou Ming has to consider whether there is any pitfall waiting for them to jump.

But now it seems that their overall strength is better.

Moreover, Piero and the others were not surprised that Zhou Ming wanted lithography technology. After all, Zhou Ming tried every means to secretly buy a lithography machine from AWSL, but in the end he had a unique way to pay through the stock market, which made them still remember it fresh.

"It seems that bastard Zhou Ming is also planning to enter the semiconductor industry."

"What makes us establish an absolute advantage over the continent in the information and communications industry is simply a scam, a liar!"

"We must not let him succeed!"

Since we have decided to establish an absolute monopoly in the information communication and semiconductor industries, how could Piero and others not make up for relevant industry knowledge? How could they not understand that the core of the semiconductor industry is lithography technology?

They then discussed the situation on the continent. It was obvious that Zhou Ming used the relationship between Harrusburg to establish contact with the lithography industry, or even invested or acquired it without disturbing his side.

However, AWSL is the benchmark for Continental in the lithography industry, and can be said to be an existence under the spotlight. Especially now, it is also planning the semiconductor industry chain, especially for AWL companies, there is a board of directors. It can be said that even with Caitlyn's intelligence and the influence of the Harrusburg family, it cannot be concealed from itself.

Therefore, they can only wait and get in touch with upstream suppliers to complete alternative entry.

"But to be honest, if they just seek to hold AWSL, I'm not that worried, but now he wants to use upstream suppliers like Rice and Koeman, which is enough to prove his ambition!"

If you just hold AWSL so that you can easily buy lithography machines, it's nothing, but if you want to break the monopoly of lithography, that's another thing that will never be allowed.

"It seems that we need to declare our existence to these mice walking in the dark." In the end, Piero and the others made a decision.

On the next day, a senator in charge of the semiconductor industry visited Eindhoven and visited AWSL with a name. The senator said in front of all the accompanying media that AWSL's lithography machines are the jewel of the semiconductor industry and the pride of a free country. He will personally invest 100 million to fund the future development of AWSL.

After ending Eindhoven's trip, the senator later visited companies such as Rice and Koeman, saying that as suppliers of lithography machine parts, he would promise to fund these companies.

At the same time, he asked these companies to show their independence and must not surrender to capital or political entities.

Seeing this news, Zhou Ming immediately understood that his plan to take over European semiconductor technology was exposed.

It seemed to be to prove that on the next day, news came from Caitlin that companies such as AWSL or Lescoman refused the investment requirements of their investment banks.

Caitlin reminded Zhou Ming if the phone was monitored. Zhou Ming had no choice but to say that as long as he was still here, this was inevitable: "I have taken measures as much as possible."

However, Zhou Ming reminded Caitlin not to be so discouraged, because it is far from the time to do so, so you can still maintain contact with these related companies, and at least pay attention to the status of these companies at all times.

Caitlin immediately realized Zhou Ming’s implicit meaning: “You mean they may not fulfill their promise?”

Zhou Ming said frankly: "They will definitely not fulfill their promises, at least not now."

As a reborn person, Zhou Mingke understands the routines of these Yang Jiba very well, and he can't do it to the extreme.

The whole world promises to provide funding everywhere, and it is so loud that you can't find many if you really check the implementation of the situation.

But this is normal. After all, capitalists cannot get up early without profit. If you ask them to give money, it would be better to kill them.

"Anyway, take it slowly, keep in touch first, and see if there are other alternative companies." Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Ming is already choosing an alternative. Although Zhou Ming’s most desire is to get AWSL or Rice and Koeman’s technology, if it doesn’t work here, then it’s not impossible to settle for the second place. After all, the first thing that needs to be solved in China is whether there are any problems. Whether it is good or not can be placed behind.

Just like before a large number of counterfeit phones in China became popular, companies like Noah and Motorcycle randomly priced their mobile phones for 5,000 or 6,000 yuan. Once counterfeit phones emerged and impacted the market, the price would fall within 1,000 yuan in just half a year.

Therefore, Zhou Ming also has this attitude towards semiconductors now.

In addition to keeping Caitlin in contact with the continental region, Zhou Ming also made a special trip to Texas.

On the one hand, the Irank War has made great profits now. As an investor, Zhou Ming needs to participate in the dividend distribution, and on the other hand, he goes to see Texas Instruments.

Texas Instruments was first founded as a Earth Property Company. There is no doubt that the name was quite confusing. It was not until the company continued to cooperate with the Aviation Administration and helped the Aviation Administration solve many problems with integrated circuits and digital signal processors that people knew that it was a semiconductor company.

Later, as the moon landing plan was released, the company was renamed Texas Instruments.

Many people know that the semiconductor industry in the island country was once quite developed, but in fact, even at the peak of the semiconductor industry in the island country, it was still a younger brother in front of Texas Instruments.

Speaking of how powerful Texas Instruments is, let me say that the world's three top chip manufacturers today, Fujian-Taiwan collective circuit companies, Xiba Sansang and California Gaoxun are all technology companies separated by Texas Instruments.

Among them, Fujian-Taiwan Circuit and Gaoxun were simply established by senior officials who left Texas Instruments. As for Sansang, it is still a company from Xiba on the surface, but in fact, the cores are all Texas Instruments' technology.

Therefore, since Zhou Ming wants to deploy in the semiconductor industry, he must take a look at this famous Texas Instruments.

The meeting of the War Investment Board was mediocre. Although Zhou Ming made any important contributions to Texas, Zhou Ming still received his dividends based on his shares.

After getting the money, Zhou Ming immediately rushed to Dallas.

Zhou Ming came prepared. When he arrived in Dallas, Zhou Ming immediately met two senior engineers at Texas Instruments, Wang Rujun and Wang Zhongmin.

These two two kings, known as Texas Instruments, are both bigwigs who master chip manufacturing technology, and not only the technology they have, but more importantly, the technical team behind them can support the table no matter where they go.

However, Ambassador Han Zhen warned Zhou Ming not to have much confidence in this pair of kings: they did not regard themselves as Chinese.

Just this sentence expresses all the sadness and helplessness.

But Zhou Ming still wants to try it. The first person Zhou Ming met was Wang Rujun, a middle-aged man with a national face and always had a serious expression.

He originally thought Zhou Ming was his investor and came to see Zhou Ming in a hurry, but only then did he realize that Zhou Ming actually wanted him to go back to China to build a chip foundry or lithography machine factory, which immediately made him angry.

"This kid, are you insulting me? I am a senior engineer at Columbus University. I have helped Texas Instruments build more than 20 wafer fabs around the world. My current annual salary is $500,000. Did you actually ask me to give up my career here and go back to China?"

"It's not that I'm unpatriotic. I'm just frankly speaking, do you think the chips are really made of silicon? Are you really planning to let me make the sand from China into chips? That's simply whimsical!"

"Don't tell me any conditions anymore. I can tell you responsibly that I will not return to China, and I will never!"

Leaving these decisive words, Wang Rujun stood up and left angrily.

Zhou Ming could only sigh helplessly about this, there was no good idea...
Chapter completed!
