Chapter 304: Wang Zhongmin's Brightness and Bitterness

Eindhoven Municipal Hall, Fujian-Taiwan Chip and AWSL jointly rented it here to hold a press conference.

Any technological breakthrough will attract widespread attention, especially immersive lithography machines that break through the "physical limits".

Therefore, the huge city hall was filled with journalists and media early, and they set up all kinds of long guns and short cannons, waiting for this epoch-making press conference.

"Is this true? Does AWSL really break the physical limits and allow Moore's Law to continue to extend? How do I feel like this is a scam?"

This is a question that emerges in the minds of the audience on the scene and in front of all the cameras around the world.

After all, this so-called "breaking the limit" press conference was not only done once in the world, but just half a year ago, Leccon also announced that its newly developed X-ray scanning function could break the limit and achieve circuit processing below 193 nanometers.

But later I found out that Likan was a scam that time. With the X-ray line width, it was impossible to achieve that fineness.

The reason why Leccao made such a news was just to save the company's stock price. The former Leccao president was dismissed after the scandal broke out.

So is the current joint press conference between Fujian-Taiwan chips and AWSL also the same trick? In order to make a name for the newly established Fujian-Taiwan chips?

As Wang Zhongmin brought a group of executives from AWSL, everyone was sitting up in danger, waiting for the answer.

Wang Zhongmin didn't get too fond of his appetite and came up to announce the successful development of a new generation of extreme ultraviolet immersion lithography machine.

"We used to conservatively questioned that some people said that bubbles would inevitably be generated in water, which would make the refraction of light uncontrolled; some people said that high-energy laser beams would heat up, resulting in damage to lithography; some people said that the exposure platform needed to move at high speed and could not keep the water on the exposure platform."

"I want to say that these are real problems, but now they have been solved by us through technical means. Based on our current research results, the new generation of lithography machines can be advanced to the accuracy of 65 nanometers."

As he said that, Wang Zhongmin took out a chip the size of a fingernail and told everyone excitedly: "Now we can double the number of transistors based on the past and reduce energy consumption by one. At the same time, if we continue to invest in technological research and development, I am confident that I will continue to break through 65 nanometers according to Moore's Law!"

Clam?

The scene was in an uproar, and all the cameras were aimed at Wang Zhongmin and took photos crazily, because if what he said was true, then this was an epoch-making technology.

The press conference did not just announce the success of the lithography machine. The person in charge of AWSL later announced that Wang Zhongmin and his Fujian-Taiwan chips hold 20% of the shares of AWSL, and Fujian-Taiwan chips will also become the company's top supplier.

Compared with the success of lithography machines before, the subsequent news of holding shares and supply priority has not caused any trouble. After all, everyone knows that they were jointly developed, and even Wang Zhongmin and Fujian-Taiwan chips still have key technologies in their hands, so AWSL does not have many choices.

As for Wang Zhongmin's surprise, Madison brought IMB and Gaoxun and other Silicon Valley chip manufacturers to Europe as soon as possible. They rented Weisha Castle and held a celebration banquet for Wang Zhongmin.

"Mr. Wang, congratulations! You have successfully created a miracle. I have known for a long time that you are favored by God.

people!"

Not only Madison, but also the heads of other chip companies, also raised their glasses to congratulate Wang Zhongmin.

Wang Zhongmin bent his waist and responded one by one with a smile, saying humbly: "My success cannot be separated from the help of all gentlemen. If you don't have any gentlemen, even if there are ten I, Wang Zhongmin, this will not be possible."

Wang Zhongmin also took the initiative to raise his glass: "And now that the immersive lithography machine has been successfully developed, Fujian-Taiwan chips are still inseparable from the support of all gentlemen, because I plan to lead Fujian-Taiwan chips to the path of a complete foundry, so I hope that all gentlemen can help and support them."

Although the atmosphere is still very warm, the heads of manufacturers such as IMB and Gaoxun both showed disdainful expressions.

"Mr. Wang is probably thinking too much, right?"

"We just hope that Mr. Wang can give priority to the new generation of immersive lithography machines to us."

"You know that we represent the future of chips. Just provide us with lithography technology."

These disdainful words hit Wang Zhongmin hard, making his body even more hunched, and the smile on his face was a little stiff, but he still tried his best to show his happiness.

"But gentlemen, in order to promote the research and development of a new generation of immersive lithography machines, I have invested all the funds for Fujian-Taiwan chips. I need orders to collect funds now! I hope you guys can give you a chance..."

Wang Zhongmin's tone was almost always begging. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this was the man who was so energetic at the press conference today and was praised by the media as "promoting the times with his own strength"?

However, this result was that it was destined since Wang Zhongmin accepted Madison's conditions, accepted the full holding of Yang Ji Consortium, and accepted the other party's opening of the competition agreement.

Your wealth and life are held in the hands of others. Even if you are so amazing, you can only kneel down and be a dog, not to mention that this is the best choice that Wang Zhongmin himself thinks is the best choice.

Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Madison's mouth curled slightly, and he hooked Wang Zhongmin's shoulder to the side.

"Wang, I can understand your mood. After all, you have just created an epoch-making miracle. You can't wait to show it to the whole world..."

Wang Zhongmin was anxious to explain that he didn't mean that, but Madison interrupted him: "Wang, I hope you can understand that the answers to yes and no are not important, and regarding IMB and Gaoxun's chip foundry, it's not that I don't believe in your technical capabilities, but I think you are not ready yet."

What Madison meant was so clear that Wang Zhongmin was stunned at that time.

"Then... Then I, oh no, what should I do if it is a Fujian-Taiwan chip? There is also Mr. Madison's investment here!" Wang Zhongmin humbly hoped that Madison could give himself a way out.

But Madison just smiled coldly: "Of course I hope my investment will get the best return."

This sentence made Wang Zhongmin's eyes lit up, thinking there was a chance.

But then Madison said, "So I need you to occupy the entire East Asian market as soon as possible."

Wang Zhongmin was stunned at the time. He was a little unbelievable. Unexpectedly, after a long time of wandering around, Madison did not help him persuade companies such as IMB and Gaoxun to hand over the designed chips to his OEM, but instead let him do it.

Go to develop an Asian market?

"But... Mr. Madison, you may not understand that the Asian market is basically monopolized by Liben's Lecco. Moreover, Licco has operated the Asian market for many years. Whether it is Sansang Company or mainland semiconductor companies, they basically rely on Licco's lithography technology. I..."

Madison waved his hand and interrupted, "Mr. Wang Zhongmin, I think as your investor, I am not here to listen to your complaints about these difficulties, but you must complete this task!"

"I know you want chip foundry from IMB and Gaoxun, but you have been in Texas Instruments for so many years. Don't you know what our Yangji company has always valued the most for commercial secrets? So the only order you can grab is Asia, which is also the meaning of my investment!"

Madison finally patted Wang Zhongmin on the shoulder: "I hope you don't let me down."

Madison finally added: "By the way, about your new immersion lithography machine, let's assemble it to our partners first."

Wang Zhongmin's face was bitter, and he could not say anything except for answering clearly.

On the other hand, Madison and Silicon Valley executives were happily clinking glasses, and they looked at Wang Zhongmin with disdain.

"It's just an old dog. Even if you have some skills, you shouldn't compete with your owner for a bone!"

...

When the entire Western world was immersed in the development of a new generation of lithography machines, breaking through the physical limits of locking chips, and cheering, Wang Rujun was very lonely and bitter in the faculty and staff dormitory of Yanjing University of Technology.

"I am always inferior to him! I have the best resources in the country, twenty top universities cooperate with the research, and even Mr. Zhou, you even got so many impossible accessories for me, but in the end I failed!"

Not only Wang Rujun, but also Du Peng, Ren Lujun and Ambassador Han Zhen and other relevant participants have this regret.

After all, they all thought that everyone was working together, and taking advantage of the opportunity of the European crisis, they also bypassed sanctions and obtained many tight parts. They all thought they could lead, but who knew they would lose in the end.

"It's not a big deal, actually."

Zhou Ming said: "You have done a good job. The semiconductor technology accumulation in Fujian and Taiwan is better than ours, not to mention that they have received support from the world's top technologies. Even most of your original Texas Instruments technical team went to Wang Zhongmin's side."

Zhou Ming emphasized: "You have done your best."

"Sorry, I have let you down and the people of the whole country. Maybe I am not suitable to be the leader of the semiconductor industry." Wang Rujun said, with pain and annoyance, and a little confusion.

Zhou Ming was proud to understand his current state, especially the whole country has received the cooperation of the whole country, and he has been constantly helping him break through the blockade abroad. No matter how he looks at it, he is a script that learns from his ancestors and works together to create miracles, but in the end it failed, which made him doubt his ability.

Zhou Ming smiled: "But I don't think the situation is worse now, but it's better."

Wang Rujun smiled bitterly: "You don't need to comfort me, I know how failed I have this time."

"I'm not comforting you, but stating a fact." Zhou Ming said.
