I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 545 The most advanced photolithography technology!
Hearing that Lin Xiao said that he would vaccinate the people of Asmail, Lin Benjian thought that Lin Xiao wanted to tell the other party the truth, so he immediately said:

"Boss Lin, now is not the right time to tell them my idea."

"Of course I won't tell them that." Lin Xiao immediately shook his head and said.

"I just had some other thoughts."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Lin Benjian breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lin Xiao would directly tell Asmail about the idea of ​​immersion lithography.

As a lithography machine manufacturer, ASML has a strong accumulation in lithography technology. If you provide ideas to the other party, maybe you haven’t researched it yet, but let the other party do it.

However, when he heard the idea that Lin Xiao threw out immediately, Lin Benjian's anger that had just been relieved was raised again.

Lin Xiao actually wanted to make such a big deal?
"Is it feasible?" Zhang Jing also frowned slightly at this time.

Lin Xiao smiled, "Let's test it first, and we'll talk about it later if it's feasible."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, the others didn't say anything.

A day later, ASML's people officially arrived, led by Mond Kennan, who had participated in the negotiations between Future Investment and Philips in Silicon Valley.

"Boss Lin!"

"Mr. Mond!"

At the airport, the two shook hands enthusiastically.

"Mr. Mond, I am so happy to know that you led the team to Huaxia!"

What Lin Xiao said is true. Although he has also been to the headquarters of ASML, he is most familiar with Mond Kennan, and it is easier to communicate with him.

"I voluntarily applied for this, and I am very much looking forward to meeting Mr. Lin again."

Mond Kenan also had a smile on his face at this time.

Mond Kenan has a very good impression of Lin Xiao and Huaxin Technology.

At the beginning, Lin Xiao’s future investment acquired shares in ASML, and then directly brought an order of 5000 million yuan to ASML.

This move stabilized ASML's crazy decline after Intel canceled the order.

So Mond Kennan was also recognized by other members of the company's board of directors because of this incident.

This time, I heard that Huaxin Technology invited the company's top management to come, and Mond Kennan really offered to come.

The two exchanged a few warm greetings, and the two sides began to meet with other personnel.

On Huaxin Technology's side, Zhang Jing, Lin Benjian, and Lan Yumo all knew each other.

On the contrary, it was the team from Asmail, and Lin Xiao was not particularly familiar with it.

Mond Kenan also began to introduce at this time, this team is mainly technical personnel.

They came to Huaxin Technology mainly to provide technical guidance on equipment installation and commissioning.

The lithography machine is a high-tech thing, and it does not mean that it can be used directly after buying it.

In addition to the technical aspect, Mond Kenan also brought a marketing person, and then the strategic investment department under his own command.

The group met at the airport, took a minibus that had been arranged earlier, and then went to Huaxin Technology.

After some exchanges on the road, everyone became more natural. After arriving at Huaxin Technology and getting off the car, Lin Xiao led everyone to the workshop, while walking towards Mond-Kenan:
"Mr. Mond, the company's current office space is a bit shabby. Our office space has not been renovated, only the decoration of the workshop has been completed, and the decoration of the R&D site is still in progress."

"Mr. Lin, the office environment is not the most important thing." Mond Kenan immediately said.

"When ASML became independent from Philips, there were only three small old warehouses, but this did not prevent us from developing first-class lithography technology."

It wasn't just Mond Kenan who said that, the entire group did not show contempt, but a look of appreciation.

This was slightly beyond Lin Xiao's expectation.

"Asmel's history is indeed respectable." At this time, Lin Xiao also praised the other party in a timely manner.

The relationship between the two parties has become more and more harmonious.

Entering the factory, the protagonist of the exchange was changed to Zhang Jing.

Lin Xiao is not clear about the whole technology, production and other things.

Zhang Jing began to introduce the layout of Huaxin Technology's factory area, technical strength, product direction, etc. to Mond-Kenan and his team.

Lin Xiao also followed and studied again.

Chip manufacturing technology is a cutting-edge technology, but the technical barriers at this stage are not as big as the gap in future generations.

Although Huaxin Technology is a newly established company, the production technology it has mastered is basically close to the most advanced manufacturing technology.

This point is stronger than that of SMIC founded by Zhang Jing in the previous life.

On the one hand, it is because of the joining of Lin Benjian, and on the other hand, it is also the result of the joint efforts of the team dug from Silicon Valley.

Of course, it's only close.

In fact, limited by various technologies and process maturity, if Huaxin Technology really wants to mass-produce it now, it will still only be able to lag behind leading chip manufacturers in other countries by one generation.

But even so, it has greatly attracted the attention of everyone in Asmail.

The people in ASML obviously did not expect that Huaxin Technology, a newly established company, could master such cutting-edge technology.

The two parties had a very in-depth technical exchange in the company before going to the hotel for dinner.

In the next two or three days, Asmail's people divided into two waves.

The technicians continue to work in Huaxin Technology, and formally guide Huaxin Technology to do the installation and debugging of equipment.

And Meng De Kenan was led by Lin Xiao, and walked around the Pearl.

In two or three days, Lin Xiao took Mond Kenan to get to know Mingzhu well.

And from the perspective of Mingzhu, he introduced the entire development situation of Huaxia to Mond Kenan.

This really surprised Mond Kenan. Before that, he really didn't pay attention to the rapid development of Huaxia.

On the third night, after feeling that Mond Kenan had a certain understanding of the whole situation, Lin Xiao finally began to test Mond Kenan's tone during the dinner.

"Mr. Mond, Huaxia is developing very rapidly at present, attracting many foreign companies to settle down. Is ASML interested in investing in Pearl?"

"Come to Mingzhu to invest?" Mond Kenan was a little surprised.

"Boss Lin, what investment method are you referring to?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Cooperate with Huaxin Technology and set up a lithography machine company in Mingzhu."

After hearing this, Mond Kenan immediately shook his head and said, "Boss Lin, I never thought about this."

"ASML's current production capacity in the Netherlands is sufficient, and there should be no plans to expand outward for the time being."

"That's based on your willingness to be suppressed by Nikon and other island companies." Lin Xiao immediately took up the conversation.

"Ouzhou and the United States are indeed the largest markets for lithography machine sales, but this does not mean that there are only these two markets."

Lin Xiao was talking, and looked at the sales manager next to Mond Kenan.

"ASML should see that the Asian market is also growing. Samsung in South Korea and Taijidian in Taiwan are both representative companies."

"Of course, Huaxin Technology is also confident that it will grow into a world-class chip manufacturer."

Lin Xiao looked at Mond Kennan and continued, "Why don't you consider competing with Nikon and Panasonic in such a big market?"

"If a company is established in China, the cost will be reduced, which will be very helpful for ASML to compete with companies from island countries in the Asian market."

When Mond Kenan heard this, he shook his head again and said:

"Maybe, but such a reduction in cost has not fundamentally changed the competition with lithography machine manufacturers in island countries."

As he said that, Mond Kenan looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Boss Lin, maybe we can really try to set up a sales company and technical after-sales point in Mingzhu."

"However, there is no need for us to set up a subsidiary company, and secondly, ASML is not willing to use funds in this regard."

"What if the funds are provided by us, Huaxin Technology?" Lin Xiao immediately took up the conversation at this time.

"All the funds for the establishment of the company are provided by Huaxin Technology, and ASML only needs to provide technology, so you don't need to take risks."

"If the company can make a profit or develop better, ASML can make a profit, and if the company does not develop, ASML does not have much loss."

When Mond Kenan heard this, he didn't answer directly, but asked Lin Xiao curiously:

"Mr. Lin, why? Do you just want to introduce advanced lithography technology to China?"

"You are already doing chip manufacturing, why are you still thinking about the upstream lithography machine?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said to Mond Kenan: "Of course, we hope that we can establish a deeper cooperative relationship with ASML. In this cooperative relationship, we can not only buy ASML's most advanced equipment.

Moreover, ASML can also master some cutting-edge lithography technologies through cooperation with Huaxin Technology, because these advanced technologies of Huaxin Technology require the cooperation of lithography machines. "

"Advanced lithography technology?" Mond Kenan was stunned, and asked Lin Xiao with some doubts:

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean, Huaxin Technology has mastered the cutting-edge and advanced lithography technology?"

"Basically, we are researching it." Lin Xiao brought a sentence, but did not say anything specific.

Mond Kenan shook his head secretly, only thinking that Lin Xiao's words were exaggerated on purpose to convince himself.

Thinking of this, Mond Kenan laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, if your company really has advanced lithography technology, such as breakthrough 193nm technology, I don't think it can't be considered."

"Mr. Mond, if there is a technology that breaks through 193nm, are you really willing to cooperate?" Lin Xiao asked.

Mond Kenan immediately said: "Of course! If there is, I think ASML will not hesitate."

When he said this, Mond Kennan took it completely as a joke.

It is not so easy to break through the 193nm technology, and now ASML has no idea at all.

Nikon is at the forefront of all companies, but in a short period of time, at least 3 to 4 years, there is no play.

Asmel, who is also in the field of lithography, naturally understands this point.

When Lin Xiao heard this, he smiled and didn't say any more.

Asmail's situation, through this conversation with Mond Kenan, he has roughly figured it out.

Under the current situation, ASML would definitely not agree to set up a company in Mingzhu.

Even if he is one of ASML's major shareholders, even if he is willing to pay, the other party is unwilling to go to Huaxia to set up a cooperative company.

However, if the immersion lithography technology is really mature in theory and has the hope of breaking through the 193nm bottleneck, all this will be different.

Although Mond-Kennan was mostly joking just now, if the other party really knows that Huaxin Technology has such a technology, the chances of ASML choosing to cooperate may be much greater.

Of course, now Lin Xiao will not really discuss this topic in depth.

He doesn't even talk about the side-by-side things. All of this will have to wait until Lin Benjian has matured the research on immersion lithography technology before making further contact with the other party.

This topic ended here, and Lin Xiao didn't continue the conversation afterwards.

However, when the meeting was over, Lin Xiao once again proposed to Mond Kenan about the establishment of a cooperative company, and mentioned that he hoped that Mond Kenan would consider it carefully.

Mond Kennan just said that he would think about it carefully and bring the suggestion back to the company, but he didn't promise more.

After Mond Kenan left, Zhang Jing said: "Mr. Lin, your idea is good. If you can really cooperate with ASML to start a lithography machine company, it will indeed increase our voice." .”

"But it's still too difficult to do this." Zhang Jing shook his head.

"Difficult is difficult, but I still have confidence." Lin Xiao smiled at this time, and then looked at Lin Benjian.

"It's all up to Lin Bo, as long as Lin Bo's immersion lithography technology is really realized, this matter will have a lot of drama."

After Lin Benjian heard it, he immediately said: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely study this technology thoroughly, even if we have this technology, the other party will not agree."

Lin Xiao said with a determined face: "As long as we can really come up with this technology, there is a high probability that the other party will agree."

ASML, a company, has always been ambitious and ambitious.

This can be seen from their willingness to cooperate with Taijidian in the research of immersion lithography machines in the previous life.

ASML has always had a heart beyond Nikon and other giants.

It’s just that in the previous life, TEC did not have 100% confidence in Lin Benjian’s theory, and they probably didn’t want to enter the field of photolithography.

Therefore, the method of directly cooperating with ASML was adopted.

But I know that this thing will definitely come true, and if I put all the risks on my side and let Asmail see hope, the probability of persuasion is very high.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Lin Benjian can come up with a very mature theory like in the previous life, and the sooner the time, the better.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao also solemnly said to Lin Benjian: "Lin Bo, I will leave the technical matters to you!"

Seeing Lin Xiao's seriousness, Lin Benjian's expression also became serious.

"Boss Lin, give me half a year, and I will definitely live up to my trust!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Lin Bo!" Lin Xiao turned to laughing at this time.

"Wait until that day, we will go to ASML in person, bring in the other party, and let the most advanced lithography technology land in Huaxia!"
