Chapter 1080: Seminar that Started Off Well but Ended Badly

The leader asked about the thoughts of other people present. Chen Changliu sighed and said:

"Leader, I went to Beautiful Country some time ago and stayed there for almost 10 days. I just came back a few days ago.

The reason for this trip to Beautiful Country is the mobile phone wafer supply contract we signed with Qualcomm in 2007. They thought the price was too low and wanted to increase it..."

Chen Changliu said some things he could say, but of course he couldn't say what he couldn't because there were too many people at the scene.

Even if he wants to say something that cannot be said, he must report it to the leaders of the ministries and commissions separately, because there are too many things involved.

When he came this time, he was ready to report this matter to his superiors!

When Chen Changliu finished speaking, the boss of the ministry did not wait for anyone else to speak, and said directly with a stern face:

"You mean this time the other party wants to use Jingyuan to choke you to force you to submit?"

"Yes, that's what it meant. Although it was finally resolved with a supplementary agreement to increase the purchase volume, there were still two issues that stuck."

Everyone at the scene now understood what Chen Changliu meant by asking for help, which was to solve the problem of a stuck neck.

A semiconductor expert spoke, who was also an authoritative figure on semiconductors at the Central Research Institute.

"Mr. Chen, we now understand what you mean, it is the problem of wafers, and if we want to solve it, we must have wafers designed and produced by ourselves.

The more difficult thing here is the problem of the photolithography machine.

In fact, we are currently working hard to advance these issues, but the results are not very good. It should be said that the best one is the company founded by Mr. Zhang before.

Although it still lags behind the West in terms of wafer foundry, it is still capable of foundrying some mid- to low-end wafers.

As for the lithography machine, I don’t need to tell you. I think you also know very well that in order to develop wafers, we have suffered countless losses and been deceived over the years..."

After talking about it, not only the speaker, but also everyone else had a wry smile on their face.

The boss of the ministry also nodded, then suddenly looked at Chen Changliu with a smile and said:

"Mr. Chen, I know you're a very careful kid. Since you came here to ask for help, it's impossible for you to come here like this. You should have an idea, right?"

Otherwise, it would not be possible for me to hold this seminar. "

When the boss of the ministry said this, everyone else looked at Chen Changliu, wanting to see what kind of plan the most popular technology boss in the country would come up with in recent years.

At this time, Chen Changliu no longer wanted to hide it. He suddenly put his hands on the table and straightened his back.

"Yes, leaders and teachers, I do have an idea. I am here this time to ask you to help me find people and more semiconductor-related talents."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Chen Changliu's naked words.

Before they could react, Chen Changliu continued:

"What I am going to say next is top secret, and it is also a plan that is already being implemented. Leader, I need to keep it absolutely confidential. I wonder if the people here can do it?"

Hearing Chen Changliu's sudden jump in thinking, everyone felt strange and unhappy at the same time. After all, being suspected was definitely unpleasant.

The boss of the ministry nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I had already paid attention to this issue when you told me about it."

After getting the answer, Chen Changliu finally revealed the ultimate purpose of this trip.

“In fact, more than a year ago, Mr. Zhang had already formed a team responsible for developing photolithography machines and process technology.

In more than a year, I have invested more than 600 million, but now because of changes in the environment, we plan to build our own lithography machine before 2016 and make the process 28 nanometers.

Time is tighter and tasks are heavier. With research funding being widely available, what is lacking now is talent. Let’s talk about it, Mr. Zhang! "

Chen Changliu's words made everyone at the scene almost jump up, because this was a bolt from the blue to them.

They didn't expect that Chen Changliu would come to ask for help today, but in fact, he had already started, and he was completely ahead of everyone.

What's even more terrifying is that this guy is willing to invest money. He invested more than 600 million in just over a year. This is a bit exaggerated.

They know that there are now some teams researching lithography machines, which are basically within the system or state-owned enterprises. The combined research funds of these teams are not as large as the team formed by Chen Changliu and Zhang Laola.

Among all the people at the scene, the boss of the Central Committee was probably the most excited. After being stunned at the beginning, he seemed to have seen an opportunity for a breakthrough in domestic lithography machines.

Yes, it is an opportunity for breakthrough. This opportunity is the project of Chen Changliu and Mr. Zhang.

Not only is the leader suitable, but more importantly, Chen Changliu is willing to invest money. The only person in China who is willing to invest so much money in lithography machines is Chen Changliu.

Although many people see the weaknesses of domestic lithography machines, more people think that the problem is not big because they can buy off-the-shelf wafers. Even if they have to make their own wafers, there are many companies that can help with OEM.

Therefore, when all walks of life need R&D funds, there is actually not much money invested in the research and development of lithography machines, because lithography machines cannot be produced in three to five years.

The investment is large and the results are slow, so it is better to put these funds into some industries that can achieve quick results.

After Mr. Zhang finished all his requests, the boss of the ministry applauded and stood up and said:

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that you and Mr. Zhang had already planned so early, and were willing to invest so much money.

What else can I say? There is no need to discuss anything in this seminar. I personally fully support your plan.

How about this, I will report to the leader in the afternoon, and you just wait for my good news!"

The seminar ended in such an anti-climax way. No one had any objections, because they all understood the leader.

As soon as the leader left, the experts surrounded Chen Changliu and Mr. Zhang. As for what their purpose was, Chen Changliu also knew it. He pushed them to Mr. Zhang and ran away alone.

These people are experts in semiconductors. Although they may not necessarily participate in this plan, people like them definitely have disciples.

And what they want is nothing more than having their own people in such a well-funded and epoch-making project.

Chen Changliu believes that Mr. Zhang definitely knows what to do.
