Chapter 208: Nie Zhenyuan and Others Are Shocked
Tiannan Chip Technology was established in early 2012. If he remembered correctly, Tianyu Xinghai was still selling Tianrun No. 1 cosmetics at that time.
Could it be that Ma Tian invested in Tiannan Chip Technology later because he was optimistic about semiconductors? No, could the "Tian" in Tiannan be Ma Tian's Tian? Did Ma Tian invest from the beginning?
Nie Zhenyuan thought of many things and couldn't help asking his doubts:
"Mr. Ni, could it be that Ma Tian asked you to come out of retirement in 2012 and then established Tiannan Chip Technology? The "Tian" in Tiannan is Ma Tian?"
"Yes, that's right. If Ma Tian hadn't invited me back then, I wouldn't have come out of retirement again." Ni Guangnan didn't hide it. When he said this, he sighed a little.
If Ma Tian hadn't secretly asked him to come out of retirement and helped him recuperate, there wouldn't be Tiannan Chip now. Sometimes he was also curious about how Ma Tian wanted to find him and bet heavily on him.
You know, he was 73 years old at that time, and half of his body was in the coffin, but Ma Tian sent Ji Leiming to find him from afar and established Tiannan Chip Technology.
Fortunately, in the past four years, he finally lived up to Ma Tian's expectations, and he also achieved unprecedented achievements.
"Ma Tian... Ma Tian is really amazing!" Nie Zhenyuan didn't know what to say. He also thought of Ma Tian's situation at that time. Good guy, he is really courageous, and he made Ni Guangnan glow with "third spring".
"I talked to Ma Tian on the phone. He asked you to go to Tianyu Xinghai to find him. It is estimated that he wants to solve the problem of your main chip. You should go to Tianyu Xinghai. Tiannan Chip Technology's technology has backup in Tianyu Xinghai.
They also made lithography machines there and are testing them!" Ni Guangnan said slowly.
The rapid development of Tiannan Chip Technology in the past four years is inseparable from Ma Tian's financial support, and even more inseparable from Tianyu Xinghai's technical support.
Otherwise, if they do their own research, they will definitely not catch up with the international level so fast. Just look at Zhongxin International, it is good to be able to improve one level in 2 years.
Unlike Tiannan Chip Technology, it has improved dozens of levels in 4 years, from 126nm to the current best 11nm, which is like a cheat.
Even Ni Guangnan knew that Tianyu Xinghai was ahead of Tiannan Chip Technology and was already planning to manufacture 9nm lithography machines.
It is an old tradition of Chinese people to keep a hand and not announce the latest technology.
"Okay, Mr. Ni, thank you so much this time!" Nie Zhenyuan stood up and sincerely thanked Ni Guangnan. I didn't expect that when Xia Wei was in the most difficult time, there were actually domestic companies that could lend a hand to them on chips.
What an unexpected surprise!
After saying goodbye to Ni Guangnan, Nie Zhenyuan was also happy to meet his colleagues Fang Fuping and Teng Yanjun at the hotel.
Seeing Nie Zhenyuan's smiling face, Fang Fuping and Teng Yanjun also asked hurriedly:
"Have you reached an agreement?"
"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"Oh, Old Nie, don't keep us in suspense at this time!" Teng Yanjun said anxiously.
"Okay, I'll tell you directly, Ni Guangnan still hasn't agreed to our acquisition plan, but..."
"But what?"
"Don't worry, he told me a secret, that is, the real boss of Tiannan Chip Technology is Ma Tian!"
"What?" Fang Fuping and Teng Yanjun were shocked and widened their eyes after hearing this. Their expressions were no less than when Nie Zhenyuan heard the news in Ni Guangnan's office at that time. They were all very surprised by this news.
"Why did Ma Tian come to the semiconductor field? Could it be that the mysterious financial backer behind Tiannan Chip is Ma Tian?"
"No wonder Tiannan Chip is not short of money, this is the reason."
"You didn't expect it, right? Now we have to go to Tianyu Xinghai to find Ma Tian. We probably won't get the shares, but maybe Ma Tian will give us an unexpected surprise. After all, he has been planning for so many years, so he has to come up with something."
Nie Zhenyuan looked at the shocked two people and said happily. On the way, he figured out more things, such as Ma Tian must be on their side. Then, with Tianyu Xinghai as an ally, Xia Wei would be more relieved to face the difficulties he encountered this time.
And Ma Tian's scientific research ability is there, what if there are some other surprises.
"I'll go book a flight now!"
So, the three of them turned around and took a plane to Xiang City. As Ma Tian expected, Xia Wei's execution efficiency was very high, and he flew over without stopping.
What? There is no flight on the plane? Have you ever heard of the long-lost trick of money making the devil push the mill?
With Xia Wei's wealth, he could charter a plane and a route to Xiang City without any flights.
Ma Tian was still in the laboratory watching the development of his company's lithography machine. Generally speaking, the manufacturing of 9nm lithography machines is not a big problem.
However, there are still some technical breakthroughs to advance to 7nm. There are five main directions for breakthroughs, namely light source, mask manufacturing, lithography lens system, silicon wafer flatness, and exposure technology.
Ma Tian thought about it carefully and felt that it might be easier to make breakthroughs in mask manufacturing and exposure technology.
Because these two directions, one requires the pursuit of higher manufacturing precision and complex process steps, and the other requires the development of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) instruments, and manufacturing precision and equipment are exactly what Tianyu Xinghai is currently good at.
After all, in the technical drawings that he continuously purchases and updates every month, and in the research and development and manufacturing of machine tools, Tianyu Xinghai has already come to the forefront of the world.
"Mr. Ma Tian, don't forget the barbecue party that Miss Yang Jinli prepared for you!" Tianji's assistant's timely reminder interrupted Ma Tian's thinking.
Ma Tian looked at the time and found that it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. In order not to miss the barbecue prepared by Yang Jinli, he asked Tianji to remind him before work.
Unexpectedly, the time came in a blink of an eye. When thinking, time always passes quickly and inadvertently.
"Okay, Tianji, thank you for your reminder." Retracting his gaze from the big screen in front of him, Ma Tian also took a sip of tea, put on his clothes and left the laboratory silently.
Since he had asked Yang Jinli to try to go home for dinner, Ma Tian must do what he said.
"Li Runqi, are you in the company? Do you want to go home for dinner together after work?"
"Ji Leiming, you are not out for social events now, right? Come home for dinner!"
Ma Tian also called these two people. They have been much busier than Ma Tian recently, although Ma Tian told them not to work so hard last time.
But they still have to maintain high pressure. Without Ma Tian's initiative to find them, they may forget when to get off work.
And, only Ma Tian can call them.
"Okay, Brother Ma, I'll be there right away." Ji Leiming was in the company and said he would be there right away.
Li Runqi was still on the phone, indicating that Ma Tian and Ji Leiming should go back first. She had something else to arrange and would go back to the villa for dinner later.
Li Runqi still didn't know that today's dinner was barbecue, and there were two beautiful guests.
