Chapter 171 Hundreds of billions of poverty alleviation funds! Is this organization crazy? Xiawei Electronics is dumbfounded, where did this come from? (6k)
Staring at these densely packed "technical" documents, the entire top-secret external liaison room fell into silence.
Zhang Yuli seemed to have forgotten to even reply to the email. His eyes were fixed on the screen, as if he was in a daze and no one knew what he was thinking about.
It was not until I heard the beep that a new email came that I realized what was going on.
Click to view immediately.
All I saw was a greeting of just over ten words appearing above.
[Can this technology give Daxia enough surprises? ]
Looking at this line of words, it was an unusually straightforward question.
"It seems that the person on the other side is indeed the leader of the 'Great Wall Watch' organization." Zheng Lixing laughed cheerfully.
Anyone who can communicate in this tone should be an "absolute top leader" even if he is not the leader behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could a middle-level employee dare to ask Daxia so directly? That would be a suicidal act.
Zhang Yuli let out a long breath and exclaimed in amazement: "Surprise, what a surprise!"
"This surprise is even a little too big."
The smile on his face was squeezed into a ball, and his eyes were narrowed so that no slit could be seen.
Are you kidding? This is a lithography machine, and a DUV 32NM lithography machine. Is there any country in the world that can say the word "dissatisfied"?
This is cutting-edge technology that astonishes a generation, a technology that is beyond the reach of almost every country in the world, and it can almost be said to have gathered together the cutting-edge industrial technology of the entire Western world.
Only with the participation of all national laboratories under the Eagle Sauce Department of Energy, top research and development institutions and companies in Europe and the United States, can AMSL continue to produce lithography machines that are "far ahead" of the world.
Before Zhang Yuli finished his sigh, Zheng Lixing beside him was overjoyed and added: "And the chips in the 'smart phones' we are going to produce will just need this kind of 32nm process chips, right?"
"This lithography machine has arrived at the perfect time, and it is a great opportunity!"
The surprise in his voice reached a point where it was almost uncontrollable.
This technology is not only scarce in terms of "technical difficulty", but also crucial in strategic terms.
Although 32nm mobile phone chips have been outsourced to TSMC for production, they are expected to be officially delivered soon.
But the problem is that this OEM factory is not in the same mind as Daxia, and it is impossible to trust it 100%. After all, the controlling stake is held by foreign capital, so how can we trust it?
He and Zhang Yuli had been worried before that once Daxia's smartphones developed based on the 'OS8.0' system were fully produced, it would be a foregone conclusion that they would occupy the majority of the market share.
But what if they see that Daxia is making a lot of money from selling its products, and the Eagle Sauce issues a sales ban and cuts off supply, how should they respond?
This involves trillions of market share every year, and the upstream and downstream output value can drive millions of working people. It is impossible for Daxia to sit idly by.
Now, if we have a full set of DUV32nm process lithography machine technology, these difficulties will be easily solved.
Hear this.
Liu Zhixue, who had been standing by and listening to the conversation between the two, could not help but nod and agree: "Daxia cannot lack cutting-edge semiconductors, especially this kind of cutting-edge lithography machine."
“It’s better to solve the problem now than to leave it to ‘future generations’.”
If it were low-end chips like some ARM microcontrollers and single-chip computers, then domestic technology would have been no different from foreign technology, and in some aspects, China has even begun to gradually surpass foreign technology.
However, the 32nm process can produce high-performance chips, and Daxia’s current top technology can only break through to the 90nm process, which is still a long way from this goal.
As the crown of the semiconductor field, high-end lithography machines cannot be compared with "ballpoint pen tips" or "lighter gaskets".
It goes without saying how high the status of the chip field is and how important it is to the booming Daxia.
If this problem can be solved now, then don't believe in the so-called "wisdom of future generations."
Hear the words.
Zhang Yuli nodded, his eyes flashing with seriousness, and his fingers quickly typed a line of words.
Now there is no time to consider how important this lithography technology is. Instead, the top priority is to complete this transaction with the "Great Wall Watch" organization.
[We are very satisfied with this technical report and thank you very much for your letter! ]
[May I ask what are your requirements for this technical 'remuneration'? 】
Zheng Lixing stared at the reply and thought carefully: "I don't know, what does this 'organization' need?"
"Combining the previous technology, the amount proposed by the other party this time is probably not a small amount."
Not to mention the 'Patriot-3' air defense weapon technology previously given by the 'Great Wall Watch' organization, just for the current 'photolithography machine' technology, what price will Daxia have to pay to get it?
"No matter what the other party asks for." Zhang Yuli's eyes flashed with a sharpness: "As long as Daxia can do it, we can agree to it."
He believed that even if he asked his superiors, he would get an immediate reply.
As long as the needs of this organization do not break Daxia’s bottom line, everything else can be discussed!
As for money?
In the view of Zhang Yuli and others, it is not a question of how much Daxia can give but how much others want.
As long as Daxia can afford it by selling everything it has, then this technology will be worth it.
"After all, this is a 32nm-level lithography machine!"
How significant is it? It is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the industrial field!
Across the ocean.
It was late at night in the dormitory of senior staff of LLNL laboratory.
For Lu Ze, whose physical fitness has been improved in all aspects, his brain is still extremely active at this moment.
Normally, four or five hours of sleep was enough for him. Moreover, if he felt really sleepy during the day, it would be no problem for him to just hold Lucy on the sofa and take a nap for a few hours.
After all, there was no one in the laboratory who was so blind as to wake up Lucy, who was like a "sleeping princess".
Looking at the reply letter in front of him, Lu Ze stroked his chin and thought to himself:
'What kind of 'demands' do we have?'
"It seems that Daxia has also risked everything this time!"
However, facing this kind of lithography technology, Daxia's reaction was not unexpected to him.
If I were to remain calm, that would be outrageous.
Since the other party has already asked this, he should give an appropriate "quote".
As he thought of this, two lines of text quickly appeared on the light screen above Lu Ze's eyes.
[About this time's '32NM lithography machine' technology, and last time's 'Patriot-3' air defense weapon technology! ]
【Adding the two together, our organization hopes to use '1000 billion RMB' as the technical compensation price. 】
this side.
As soon as the email notification sounded, Zhang Yuli couldn't wait to check the reply content.
[Our organization hopes to use '1000 billion RMB' as the technical reward price! ]
"One hundred billion RMB?"
Zhang Yuli frowned and fell into deep thought: "Why is there something wrong with the amount they asked for this time?"
"Something is wrong. This is very wrong."
Not only him, but also Zheng Lixing and the other person beside him had question marks popping up on their heads, and they all muttered to themselves.
It was not because of the seemingly staggering figure of '100 billion RMB'; this price could even be said to be much lower than their psychological expectations.
When trading for the 'electromagnetic catapult' and 'amphibious assault ship', the total value of several technologies even reached 20 billion US dollars, but now it is 100 billion yuan, which is only about 15 billion US dollars.
The difference in 'amount' alone is huge.
"Why did they 'organize' this time and specify that RMB is needed?"
"Could it be that he has other plans? Or are we overthinking it?" Zheng Lixing was so immersed in this puzzled mood that he didn't even feel any pain when he accidentally pulled out a few hairs of his beard.
This is the most surprising point for everyone. The constant unit of 'money' proposed by the 'Great Wall Watch' organization has changed!
Previously, the US dollar was used as the unit of account. Even when it was converted into gold, pounds, etc., the anchored unit was based on the US dollar.
But this time the unit required is 'RMB'. Is it intended to be used as a trade exchange with Daxia?
After all, the current internationalization index of the RMB is really dismal, accounting for only less than 0.1% of the major international trade settlements.
Zhang Yuli didn't think about this question for too long. He just wanted to give the other party whatever they needed.
As for other issues, it is not their turn to think too much about them.
I quickly thought about how to reply and typed a line of text.
[Daxia has received the letter and has no objection to the amount.]
[Do you need any specific payment method? We will provide the highest confidentiality standard of "top secret core" and allocate RMB 100 billion. ]
This time, there is no need to worry about the United States discovering it like the U.S. dollar payment. In fact, because it is a 'RMB' settlement system, Daxia can achieve the highest level of confidentiality and avoid revealing the slightest clue.
I stared at the screen for a moment, waiting for the other party to make a final reply.
Sure enough, it’s only been a few minutes.
A line of conspicuous font appeared directly in front of everyone.
[We hope to use this 100 billion RMB to set up a charity foundation in Daxia! ]
Stare at this passage.
"What do you mean? Using 100 billion RMB to set up a 'charity' foundation in Daxia?"
Liu Zhixue's face flashed with confusion: "What is this operation? Are they trying to evade taxes?"
The establishment of a "charitable foundation" is a common practice among the rich. This does not mean that the person is "charitable", on the contrary, the person can be described as selfish, because the laws of various countries, including Daxia, indicate that both public and private charitable foundations can avoid or exempt taxes accordingly.
"That's impossible." Zhang Yuli curled his lips: "Who would collect taxes from them?"
There is no way that Daxia will levy taxes on this amount of money. If the report is submitted, the people from the tax bureau won't have to come to work the next day.
It's impossible to pay taxes to the Eagle Sauce, right? That's crazy!
Suddenly, Zheng Lixing slapped his thigh fiercely: "You said this organization could be... setting up this 'charity fund' for the purpose."
"Just like before, it was used to build elementary and middle schools, and provide free food for students?"
Hear the words.
"Hiss, building a school?" The two people next to him gasped, and the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop by several degrees.
"Is this possible? This is 100 billion." Liu Zhixue asked in confusion.
A full 100 billion yuan is used to build primary, middle and high schools. How many schools can be built?
Ten thousand? Or more? Even if they could really build them, where would they find so many teachers?
"Probably not." Zhang Yuli denied, "Where do we get so many students?"
Not to mention teachers, even if one hundred billion were invested in building schools, Daxia might not even have so many people of school age to go to school.
Before they could come to a conclusion, another email came.
This matter has been finalized once and for all!
[This "charity foundation" is mainly used as a "poverty alleviation and relief charity fund." ]
[Our organization hopes that Daxia will use this '100 billion' RMB to carry out targeted poverty alleviation work according to the divided regions.]
Looking at this email, several people's eyes revealed deep horror, as if they were frightened by this operation.
“They want to build a ‘poverty alleviation and relief foundation’?”
"One hundred billion will be used to alleviate poverty?" Liu Zhixue opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Although it was not what they thought, that the 100 billion RMB was used to build schools or something, it was even more shocking.
This is a huge amount of money of 100 billion, but the "Great Wall Watch" organization is going to use it all as poverty alleviation funds?
Zhang Yuli took a deep breath and tried hard to type these two lines of text.
[Daxia will follow your request and report to the superiors immediately.]
[The required poverty alleviation areas will also be sorted out and reported to you for review. ]
After the crackling sound.
Zhang Yuli looked at the reply on the screen and huge waves rose in his heart.
"Their organization." Zheng Lixing, who was always eloquent, was a little speechless at this moment and really didn't know what to say.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "We didn't do well enough. Far from good enough."
If they have done a good enough job, why do they need others to set up a special poverty alleviation fund now?
The 'Great Wall Watch' organization is worthy of Daxia, but he feels that he and others are unworthy.
"Old Zheng, don't be sad." Zhang Yuli shook his head and said comfortingly: "I believe everyone should be clear about what the conditions of Daxia were before."
Before, Daxia was so poor that it had to pawn its pants. Where did the money come from? It’s not like we can just print 100 billion yuan and forget about it.
The whole country is equally poor, there is no need for poverty alleviation because everyone is poor.
But the situation is different now!
"Others have invested 100 billion, how can we be stingy?" Zhang Yuli's eyes flashed: "I will report to my superiors."
"We can't rely on others to 'organize' poverty alleviation!"
In the past, the attention paid to poor areas was far from enough, so this time we need to make a comprehensive plan.
this side.
Eagle sauce, senior staff dormitory.
After checking the dialogue box on the screen, Lu Ze glanced at a certain location in the room.
In the window, at the foot of the bed, and even in the ceiling.
These places were all equipped with eavesdropping devices.
This situation was within Lu Ze's expectations. After all, he was from Daxia, and the Eagle Sauce would definitely have to get some leverage over you before they would feel at ease.
For the system, this kind of eavesdropping device is child's play. As long as there is an abnormal "band" coming out of the room, it will be firmly locked by the system.
And make sure that Lu Ze won't be discovered in any loopholes, and even forge some audio and send it over.
"How about deliberately creating some evidence?" Lu Ze thought.
Anyway, with the props he has now, he is not afraid of not being able to escape from the Eagle Sauce.
As long as he is not "killed" with a sniper rifle right away, he can use various means to take emergency precautions and then immediately flee back to Daxia for safety.
However, now is not the time to think about this.
"Let's release the doll tomorrow and prepare to go to Los Angeles next week." Lu Ze put aside his thoughts and fell into a deep sleep.
the next day.
It was nine o'clock in the morning in Daxia.
At the same time, this time is also the working hours of Xia Ke Institute.
In the dean's office.
The two old men, Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, are now discussing something.
"Old Zheng, the higher-ups have agreed." Zhang Yuli held a piece of paper in his hand: "We will also invest 999 billion yuan in this 'poverty alleviation and relief' fund, accumulating 1999 billion yuan in poverty alleviation funds."
"And if all the funds are spent, all subsequent funds will be borne by Daxia."
"This is the best way." Zheng Lixing agreed.
The reason why Daxia only contributed 999 billion, only million less than the Great Wall Watch Organization, is mainly because this is a "charity fund" project led by others.
If Daxia takes the majority, then that doesn't make sense.
Daxia has also made a lot of money recently, so withdrawing 100 billion yuan is nothing.
They have made billions of dollars just from selling long-range unmanned bombers. In the past few months, the big Middle Eastern investors have given them a lot of money and effort.
Even if these are counted as military expenditures, Daxia has made considerable money from carbon fiber and various other fields recently.
"Once the smartphone alliance led by Lao Fan actually starts shipping, we will make even more money."
Zheng Lixing seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.
Fan Chaoxian previously reported that smartphones using 45NM chips will be launched around the end of September and will be widely available by the end of the year.
By then, the money that can be earned will not be a small sum. The sales volume of the smartphone market alone is over 100 billion yuan per year.
Even if the Daxia government only collects some commission, the profits brought in every year will be very considerable.
At this time.
There were knocks on the door.
"Please come in." Zhang Yuli said.
A visitor arrived hurriedly and straightened his wrinkled clothes before stepping into the room.
"President Zhang, Academician Zheng." The man greeted respectfully.
Looking at this person, Zhang Yuli and the other person glanced at each other, both revealing a look of surprise.
"Xiao Zhao is here?"
"Have a drink of water first. Did you have a smooth journey?" Zheng Lixing poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
The man in front of me is called Zhao Siyuan.
As the general manager of Modou Xia Microelectronics Company in Modou, it is also the most advanced enterprise in Dadou lithography machines.
They have quite a lot of interactions with Xia Keyuan.
At the same time, Xia Microelectronics broke through the 07NM projection lithography technology in 90, becoming the fourth company in the world to master high-end lithography technology.
However, breaking through 45NM is still a long way off, and even 65NM may take several years.
"Dean Zhang, Mr. Zheng, I wonder what you want me to do?" Zhao Siyuan asked with a frown.
Xia Keyuan urgently summoned him yesterday. What was it about?
Hear this.
Zhang Yuli smiled slightly, took out a stack of documents, and said with a smile: "The technology of a photolithography machine."
"32nm process lithography machine using DUV technology!"
moment.
Zhao Siyuan widened his eyes: "???"
Lithography technology? Are you kidding me?
It's also a lithography machine that uses DUV technology. Where did this thing come from in Daxia?
