Chapter 1557 Rapid Progress

In the second week after relevant personnel from the Ministry of Mechanical and Electronic Industry settled in Telling Group, two Dutch engineers also came to Shenzhen by plane.

This is the second time for Robin and Vincent to come to Shenzhen. The last time, they were already very familiar with Duan Yun, so when they met again, they first had a warm hug.

Strictly speaking, Duan Yun is now the boss of Robin and Vincent. Duan Yun paid them twice as much as what they received in ASML. focus on.

Compared with the last time, the two Dutch engineers seem to be less cautious. Even if Chinese personnel come to visit during the work, they will not stop the work at hand, but they will not hand over the installation manual to the Chinese side. Here, this is their final bottom line.

In fact, the two Dutch engineers also knew in their hearts that this is the second time Tianyin Group has purchased ASML lithography machines. As lithography machines gradually move closer to 2 micron process technology, it is impossible to buy ASML lithography machines again, at least in the short term. Buying the same machinery and equipment, so this is more like a one-off sale, and it doesn't make much sense to keep secrets.

The Dutch pay great attention to the quality of life. They never work so hard like Asians. They still work no more than 6 hours a day. On the other hand, the Chinese engineers in the workshop work overtime almost every day. In more than 10 hours.

But skilled people are masters, and Duan Yun has to provide them. In order to let the two Dutch engineers work hard, Duan Yun also specially equipped them with two translators. The engineers negotiated with the Chinese staff, and after get off work, the two translators turned into tour guides, leading two Dutch engineers to play in Shenzhen. Sometimes they went for a walk by the beach, and sometimes they drank and sang in bars all night long. .

But in any case, the installation progress of ASML lithography machines this time is obviously faster than last time. By mid-August, all 8 lithography machines have been installed, and the next step is to wait for the equipment installation on the Chinese side. After completion, carry out the testing work of the whole production line.

At this time, two Dutch engineers have temporarily stopped working, and it will take about a month or two before the final commissioning of the entire production line can be carried out.

Logically speaking, Robin and Vincent could choose to return to China and come to China two months later, but they were a bit reluctant to go back to China, and they did not choose to return to China, and planned to stay in China.

It is naturally a good thing for Duan Yun that the Dutch engineers are unwilling to return to China. In fact, he can fully understand it, because after the two Dutch engineers return to the Netherlands, they will definitely have other jobs. Need to work, but also get free wages, this is of course a very cool thing.

Judging from the current situation, around November, the newly established three production lines can be put into production. At that time, Duan Yun can just use the new production line to produce second-generation NAND flash memory chips to meet the needs of international orders.

At the same time, Duan Yun's assistance in the research and development of the stock and securities trading system of the soon-to-be-established Shenzhen Stock Exchange has progressed very smoothly, and the entire system has entered the final debugging work.

In fact, with the financial resources of Duan Yun Company, there is no problem in purchasing a Hong Kong securities trading software system, but he still decided to conduct self-development. On the one hand, it is to exercise the R&D capabilities of the company's software R&D team.

In fact, from the perspective of the software itself, securities trading software is not very difficult. The key is how to optimize and maintain the safety and reliability of the software, which is the most important thing.

So after Duan Yun and Yu Guogang settled on this matter before, he immediately arranged for the Hong Kong branch to find a software technician working in the Hong Kong securities office, and temporarily hired a consultant for this software development.

Although it cost a total of more than 50 Hong Kong dollars to hire this Hong Kong temporary consultant, this cost is not worth mentioning compared to the complete set of securities trading software that costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

In the next few months, Hong Kong technical consultants, Tianyin Group software engineers, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Preparatory Committee coordinated and cooperated with each other. The research and development of the entire trading system progressed rapidly. By the end of August, the trading system began the final debugging work.

In addition to the software, Duan Yun also bought 90 computers at one go this time, and a complete set of related equipment, which was installed in the hall of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The internal settings completely refer to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

And this also makes Shenzhen the second stock exchange with a complete trading system after Shanghai. He had a meal at the Xi'an Hotel, which showed his gratitude to Duan Yun.

In view of Duan Yun's "generosity", after discussing with the relevant leaders of the municipal government, Yu Guogang made some amendments to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's securities management rules specifically for Tianyin Group. The regulation has been changed to 50%, which is completely modified for Tianyin Group.

It can be said that this cooperation is definitely a win-win situation. The SZ city government has obtained a complete set of trading systems they need, and Duan Yun's Tianyin Group can also hold more shares in subsidiaries, making it more important to listed companies. keep the best interests.

In September, Duan Yun finally got a response from Western Digital. John Cohen called Duan Yun and told him that in mid-September, a team including him and Western Digital Vice President Carter would visit Shenzhen. Shi will personally discuss with Duan Yun the strategic cooperation between the two companies, including the joint venture between the two parties to establish a hard disk production company in Shenzhen.

This matter is of great significance to Duan Yun. Duan Yun knows in his heart that for any high-tech electronic product, the establishment of an industrial chain is very important. Domestic products can be used, and foreign products should not be used as much as possible. With the establishment of a factory, Duan Yun's domestic computers will be able to obtain cheap and stable hard drives, which is very important for him to expand the domestic and foreign PC markets in the future.

In addition, by cooperating with Western Digital, Duan Yun can also obtain some related hard disk technologies, and at the same time, the two companies can also jointly develop and produce a new generation of solid-state hard disks, opening up the international market in the shortest possible time...
