The yield rate is 89%!
What a concept!
You must know that the highest yield rate among photolithography machines capable of producing chips in the world is only 75%!
The yield rate of this photolithography machine is a full 14 points higher!
If calculated based on the current market demand of Longguo, the profit this Xinhuo can save will be terrifying.
There are only four big words left in the minds of everyone who understands this: So terrifying!
With tears in his eyes, Liu Zhongmin took the chip from Xu Zhou's hand with some excitement.
I felt a little choked when I touched the chip through the package.
"I'm not dreaming, it's really happened! Our Dragon Country's first lithography machine has become such a success!"
Zhang An was also full of excitement. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Dean, today is a good day. Don't cry. The people in the United States will cry in the future!"
After he finished speaking, Zhou Guofu burst into tears on the other side.
"How long has it been! Finally we don't have to beg for help in such a lowly manner anymore!"
"I feel like I'm dreaming! Is all this real?"
Xu Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth and was speechless.
However, it is understandable that these two old people... no, it should be that everyone present has been looking forward to this moment for many years.
Now that the chip appeared in front of them, they couldn't control their emotions, and their true feelings were revealed.
This feeling is like a person who has been poor all his life and suddenly wins a multi-million lottery jackpot.
It can only be said that Longguo has been bullied for too long in the chip field.
After a while, everyone calmed down, and then Liu Zhongmin began to report to his superiors on the spot.
The call was made to the private phone number of the cabinet chief.
"Hello, my name is Liu Zhongmin. I need to contact the chief immediately to report something important."
After a while, an old man's voice came from the other side.
"Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"
The voice on the other side was very gentle, and he seemed very polite to Liu Zhongmin.
"Chief! It's successful! It's successful! We in Dragon Kingdom have our own lithography machine!"
The person on the other side's breathing stagnated, and then his breathing became a little heavier.
"Really! Has the official production been successful?"
"Chief! It's successful! Not only is it successful, the yield rate of our machines is even higher than that of foreign countries. It is truly a national weapon!!"
"Hahaha, good! What a blessing for our Dragon Kingdom. You, the young man named Xu Zhou, and everyone involved in the project are the future of the country!"
"On behalf of the entire cabinet, I would like to express my most sincere respect to you! I will hold a cabinet meeting next, and you will have to worry about the following matters in the field of scientific research, Mr. Liu!"
Liu Zhongmin was excited.
"Don't worry, chief!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhongmin looked at everyone with a smile and said:
"The chief is very happy and highly appreciates everyone, especially Academician Xu!"
"The cabinet will hold a meeting next, and after that, it will basically be all-out production of photolithography machines to achieve internal supply of Longguo chips!"
After Liu Zhongmin finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
"So now is not the time for us to relax. Everyone, hurry up and return to your respective posts. Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work!"
Everyone responded with a smile, then eased their excitement and immediately returned to their posts.
"Xiao Xu, please stay here for a moment, let's discuss something."
Xu Zhou nodded and waited for everyone to leave. The two of them walked to the dean's office together.
When he got to the place and sat down, Liu Zhongmin poured two glasses of water.
"Xiao Xu, on behalf of all the scientific researchers in Dragon Kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude to you. It is you who helped us get rid of this bad breath!"
Xu Zhou quickly waved his hand.
"What are you talking about? The dean is too polite!"
"I am also from the Dragon Kingdom. This is my hometown. How can I tolerate the arrogance of those countries in the West!"
Hearing this, Liu Zhongmin smiled and nodded.
He liked Xu Zhou's patriotic and angry look, sincere and undisguised.
"You're right, but I said unnecessary things."
"There's something else I need to discuss with you."
"Dean, tell me."
Liu Zhongmin hesitated slightly, then sighed and said:
"The thing is like this, when you went out to get some fresh air today, I actually received the message from above."
"You should know that more than a month ago, the United States carried out the so-called talent detention plan, right? The superficial explanation of the United States is that it is afraid that agents from other countries will commit technology theft and other criminal activities in the United States in the name of further study."
After hearing this, Gu Fan sneered and said:
"Dean, of course I remember this matter. The shamelessness of the United States does not need to be proven for a long time. It is just a pity that many patriotic men are trapped in the United States. I am afraid that over time..."
"Yes." Liu Zhongmin took a sip of water again and said:
"I understand your worries, and they are not unreasonable. The thing I want to discuss with you is about picking up those compatriots from the Yinlong Kingdom who are trapped in the United States after studying abroad and unable to return."
"And me?"
Xu Zhou was stunned.
"Yes, the Dragon Kingdom has used all diplomatic means for more than a month, but the United States will not let go. Now it is stuck and will not let go. So a high-level meeting was held to discuss and a plan was drawn up, but it needs your opinion."
Now Xu Zhou didn't understand, and he naturally supported this matter.
But he has nothing to do with this matter.
Seeing Xu Zhou's confused expression, Liu Zhongmin didn't hesitate and said directly:
"The thing is, we are going to release Qinglong immediately and export it to some foreign countries. One of the purposes of this is to promote the advantages of Qinglong at an extremely fast speed."
"Based on the current Qinglong technology, anyone who has used it knows what it means. I believe no one can refuse a software platform that can optimize chip solutions and achieve innovation."
"In this case, I believe all countries would like to obtain authorization to use Qinglong."
Xu Zhou nodded. There was no doubt about this, but he still didn't understand what this had to do with bringing his compatriots back to China.
"And the export countries we are currently planning are only for our friendly countries, then a problem will arise. The United States will definitely find ways to purchase Qinglong."
As soon as he finished saying this, Xu Zhou understood immediately.
This is a disguised form of forcing the United States to take the initiative to negotiate.
"What the dean means is to use Qinglong's export authorization in exchange for the release of the United States?"
Liu Zhongmin nodded, and then took out a list of some proposed export countries.
"Qinglong is developed by you independently. At present, our domestic authorization suggestions are in the hands of SMIC. At the same time, as a member of the Dragon Academy, we will not let you suffer."
"Eli Liangfei and I have already agreed to establish a new company with investment from SMIC, which will be called Qinglong!"
"You serve as the largest shareholder and hold permanent equity. It cannot be diluted or purchased unless you want to, with 55% of the equity."
"Because it happened suddenly and I didn't discuss it with you. I wonder if you are satisfied or not?"
Now it was Xu Zhou's turn to take a breath of air!
This is not a question of dissatisfaction at all. Although there is a high probability that 55% of the equity will not be able to participate in management and will only enjoy dividend rights, this is also a huge wealth that ordinary people can hardly pray for!
"Isn't this... taking up a bit too much?"
Liu Zhongmin waved his hands with an expression that you deserve.
"Not much. Strictly speaking, SMIC has taken advantage of you this time. However, the only one in China that you can trust with confidence is SMIC, so this is a good choice for both of you."
Xu Zhou also knows this, so there is no need to worry about the strength of Shangxin.
Naturally, he will not focus on company management in the future. His goal is still to research some super technologies. If there is a core operation, it is the best choice, and he only needs to divide the money.
"Then...I have no problem."
Hearing Xu Zhou say this, Liu Zhongmin breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that Xu Zhou had too much appetite.
Although they are all scientific researchers from the Dragon Academy, the wealth that products like Qinglong will bring in the future will definitely be huge, and there is no reason for people to make selfless contributions.
"Okay, let's continue the topic just now. We plan to wait for the United States to take the initiative to request authorization, and then exchange it for the United States to release the people."
"But Qinglong is your achievement after all. I think releasing it to the United States like this is not your original intention in a sense. I think it's better to ask for your consent."
After speaking, Liu Zhongmin looked at Xu Zhou, waiting for his answer.
