The Japanese refused to provide lithography machines with 130nm process technology, and even lithography machines with 300 and 250 micron process technology lagging behind two generations, not to mention the technology. They only offer 450 micron lithography machines, with a price of up to 5 million US dollars per unit, which is a sky-high price!

As a "reward" for Japanese companies selling lithography machines to China, Lianchuang Technology needs to provide materials, control logic and corresponding algorithms to Japanese companies such as Ne, Mitsubishi, and Sony, and even chip designs have to be provided to Japan... The Japanese's appetite is no longer something that can be described as insatiable.

The Japanese were not angry as Lin Zheng expected, and the group executives were not angry, and even the top leaders of the Republic were not angry. Chen Geng said clearly: "Sit up and pay back the money by landing. The Japanese rely on our desire to develop semiconductor industry and technology, and intelligent robot technology will not have much impact on social life for the time being. Only then can we dare to speak out to us. What we have to do is to tell the Japanese: I honestly dispel their little thoughts, no one is a fool!"

"But what should Konica Minolta and Pentax do?" asked Sun Yafang: "Their technical accumulation is of great significance to us in the two fields of digital and optics. If an agreement cannot be reached in time, the series of plans we have made before will be affected..."

"It's true," Lin Zheng nodded first. "There are indeed difficulties, but there are always more ways to solve them than difficulties. No matter what Japan's attitude is, we have more than half of Pentax's shares after all. If the Japanese continue to make trouble, we will force this matter. I don't believe that the Japanese government dares to make trouble in this matter. No matter how powerful Pentax is, it is not an enterprise that has a huge influence on Japan's national defense and strategic security."

Indeed, although Pentax is at the forefront of the storm, one thing that no one can ignore is that Pentax is just a photography equipment research and development and production company. No matter how strong their technology and foundation are, it cannot change this. If Lianchuang Technology is targeting national pillar industries such as Toyota, Sony, and Mitsubishi, the possibility of the Japanese breaking up is really great, but Pentax? A company that is almost unable to hold on, can you expect the Japanese to be willing to invest in such a company? Moreover, in terms of optical attainments, Nikon and Canon are not worse than Pentax.

"I also make a suggestion," Academician Chen Zuoning, who had not spoken much, also spoke: "I think there are some problems in our current thinking. Why do we hang ourselves on the Japanese tree? In the field of optics, Germans are the boss. Since this road in Japan is not working, why don't we go to Germany to think of a solution?"

yes!

Chen Geng slapped his head heavily: I've really gotten into a stubborn state during this period.

The Japanese are very good at optics, but the most powerful in optics are the Germans, Carl Zeiss, Leica, Schneider... are the leaders of the German optical industry, and are better than Japanese products in various technical indicators. Of course, Germany has played art in the field of optics, but the Germans are also famous for asking prices.

But this is not a problem at all!

As long as the Germans are willing to negotiate, it is not a problem to have a higher price.

"This method is good," Lin Zheng said with shame after patting his head: "So many of us didn't even think of this."

"Mr. Lin, you are so polite. How many major things are there in your mind?" Academician Chen Zuoning said with a smile: "Then what you mean is..."

"As long as the Germans are willing to cooperate, it doesn't matter if the price is higher," Chen Geng paused and said: "Tell the Germans. We are willing to cooperate with them in lithography technology."

"What?!"

As soon as Lin Zheng said the words, everyone in the conference room was scared. Sun Yafang asked in surprise: "Boss, what do you mean..."

"It means literally," Lin Zheng nodded: "If the Germans are willing to bring out their best optical technology and share it with us, we will jointly develop lithography technology with them."

"But there is the country..."

Before Sun Yafang could finish speaking, Chen Geng said, "Leave it to me in the country."

Su's side immediately shut up. The boss said so. What else can he say?

"Okay," Sun Yafang smiled bitterly and said, "But in this way, is the price we pay a bit too high?"

"Is it big? I don't think that our lithography technology is at the same level in the world? It's not even a second-rate end, right? Since that's the case, what's the point of self-respecting?"

If the products of the three lithography machine giants, Nikon, Canon, and Amsl, monopolize more than 80% of the global lithography machine market and are the absolute giants in the lithography field, then the remaining less than 15% of the market will be fought by many second-rate and third-rate lithography companies. How is China's technical strength in the lithography field? Even in the third-rate level, it is not at the forefront of the third-rate level. In recent years, because of Lianchuang Technology's continuous increase in investment in the field of lithography technology, China has gradually entered the forefront of the third-rate field in the field of lithography technology, but there is still a big gap from the world's advanced level, even if it is still a bit far away from South Korea.

Germany's lithography industry...

Cough cough, the Germans are pitiful. After World War II, Germany's national resources were divided up, and the best scientists, the most advanced technology, the highest military power, and even the country were not spared. Compared to those who came here, Japan was much lucky. China exempted debt, supported by the United States, and escaped trials... Even the small countries that had previously occupied became legal land given to the United States.

But even in this case, the Germans still have accumulated optical technology. Although the Germans have almost made no achievements in the field of lithography, whether it is Nikon or Amsl or Canon's lithography machine, the light sources used are provided by German Yashen Company, or the technology used by Yashen Company... Of course, the Germans themselves are not good at it and have made Yashen acquired by Nikon, which is another matter.

But from this perspective, if the Germans have no thoughts about the semiconductor industry, who believes it?! Do you believe it?

For Germany, their biggest problem is that they are defeated countries. The Americans have put countless chains on them and a tight curse on their heads. Although Germany's electronics industry is not good, this does not mean that they don't want to do anything in this industry. If Lianchuang Technology is willing to use its accumulation in lithography technology to cooperate, Lin Zheng believes that the Germans have no reason not to be moved.

"That's right!" Academician Chen Zuoning thought for a while, and finally nodded.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The old Japanese god is waiting for the Chinese to bargain with him.

Of course, they did not expect the Chinese to agree to all the conditions they proposed at once, but in their opinion, using a 300-nanometer lithography machine can still get some good things from the Chinese. With the Chinese's ambitions in the semiconductor and electronics fields, they are not afraid that the Chinese will not agree.

But day by day, the Japanese gradually began to feel a little restless: It has been a month since this has passed, and the Chinese cannot wait on the left or right. What are their plans to do?

Could it be that the Chinese want to test Japan's patience in this way, waiting for themselves to bow their heads first? It's funny! When it comes to patience, Japanese people are not worse than anyone else... But it's not that there's no movement after so long...

Just as the little dog was thinking about what the Chinese were planning, the secretary reported to him the latest situation with a serious look on his face: "Sir, the Chinese have forcibly acquired Pentax."

"What?" The little dog was shocked: "What's going on?"

"Lin Zheng has more than half of Pentax shares in his hands, and he forcibly promoted the acquisition of Pentax..."

The secretary's words made the little dog stunned for a moment, paused for several seconds before cursing angrily: "Baga!"

"Yes!" After pausing, the secretary asked for instructions: "Sir, do we want..."

After saying that, the secretary made a move to cut the palm.

"Are you stupid?" The little dog glared at the secretary with anger.

Lianchuang Technology has not promoted the forced acquisition of Pentax before, but everyone has a tacit understanding. But if it is forced to promote the acquisition, no one can say anything. Who made Lin Zheng hold more than half of Pentax's shares? Japan would not have turned against the Chinese for such a company. For the little dog, the most important thing is...

"Go and figure it out! Why do Chinese people dare to do this?" The little dog said angrily with a gloomy face: "Don't they want to buy lithography machines from us?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak but stopped.

The little dog's eyes were really as poisonous as a dog. The secretary's hesitation was only a moment, but he still did not hide it from his eyes and immediately asked, "What do you know?"

"I..." The secretary lowered his head and did not dare to look up at the vicious eyes of the little dog that seemed to eat people: "About two weeks ago, a delegation from Lianchuang Technology visited Carl Zeiss, Germany. I wonder if it has anything to do with their changes in recent times."

"The delegation of Lianchuang Technology went to Carl Zeiss?" The little dog immediately realized that this matter was not simple, and the fool could know that it was unusual. Lianchuang Technology almost unilaterally cut off contact with Japan and immediately contacted the Germans. Let's see the Germans' reaction...

The little dog's hair was blown up: Damn Chinese really hooked up with the Germans!

"Go! Go and investigate immediately and understand what the Chinese and Germans are doing!" Realizing that the problem is serious, the little dog cried out in a bad manner: "Also, inform gentlemen that the problem has undergone serious changes, and we need to hold an emergency meeting immediately to discuss countermeasures!"
