Chapter 696 Curve Plan
The history of Fengze Garden can be said to be particularly long, and it has existed since the time of the Republic of China.

It has been half a century so far.

Wang Shuo walked ahead carelessly.

Enter the house, find a place to sit down, and the waiter will come to order.

Ma Weidu first asked: "Comrade Su..."

"Don't call me Comrade Su, call me Su Chen, or I will feel that you are calling me old." Su Chen said with a smile, "To tell the truth, I know Fengze Garden Sea cucumber, I don’t know anything else, so please give me pointers.”

"Then cook sea cucumber with scallions first." Ma Weidu said, "Order the others."

Don't look at Wang Shuo's bragging, but he probably hasn't been here, so he took a look at the menu and couldn't decide what to order.

The main thing is expensive.

Although he is very careless most of the time, but after all, this is the first time he invites you to dinner, and you will be the most expensive when you come up, so what do others think?
What's more, his wrist is not big now.

After watching for a while, I ordered two dishes.

Then he handed the menu to Ye Daying, Ye Daying glanced at it a few times, and there was something wrong with the expression on his face.

The price is too expensive. If it wasn't for someone else's treat, he wouldn't come to this place to eat.

Then handed the menu to Ye Jin, Ye Jin glanced at it twice, and quickly ordered.

Then it was transferred to Ma Weidu, and Ma Weidu ordered a fish.

Six courses for six people.

Before the dishes were served, Su Chen said: "Guys, I talked to Editor Ma about the culture salon a few days ago, and we all talked about life, literature, and scripts together. I don't know what you guys think." ?”

"I think it's okay, but where should we choose this place?" Ma Weidu spoke first.

Wang Shuo interjected: "There is no suitable place right now, and you can't just visit the house all the time, right?"

At this moment, the Kunlun Hotel has not opened yet, and Hai Yan is still working as the director of the enterprise management department of Xinhua Company.

Shen Xu didn't have many good stories, probably because he was not familiar with Su Chen.

"I think, for this cultural salon, we must first have a place, and then a name." Ye Daying said, "Anyway, we are all from the capital city, so how about we call it the Beijing circle?"

Ye Jin's eyes lit up, "I think this is good, the Beijing circle, the circle of cultural people in the capital."

Ma Weidu also brightened his eyes: "This name is indeed good, but what about our cat? It is really inappropriate to be a guest at home every day."

"Haiyan should have a suitable place." Su Chen asked, "Why didn't I see anyone else today?"

"There is something at home, so I can't come." Ma Weidu said.

Su Chen has no problem with where to stay in this place, as long as he is not stuck in his own home, they can stay wherever they like.

But if he had to make room for these people, he didn't have room.

Because this group of people can enjoy it very much, after eating and drinking, it is best to have a place to take a bath, just put the water there.

As the proposer, Su Chen took over the conversation, "Several people, I proposed this matter, but I am not familiar with people in the circle, because I have been studying for a few years, and now I have finally met the big guy through Ma Weidu .”

"Now we have a name, but there is still a lack of sarcasm. The big guys also know that I wrote a book, fooled those Americans, and got some manuscript fees."

"So, I want to take 1 yuan and use it as our activity fund. This money will be kept by Ma Weidu..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ma Weidu hurriedly said: "This can't be done, can't be done."

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Well, I'm actually interested in eating and drinking."

Ye Daying and Ye Jin did not speak, after all, not everyone can come up with 1 yuan.

Is Su Chen short of money?
lack.

What was lacking was big money, and he didn't care about the 1 yuan.

"All activities require money. If we don't have money, we can't even pay for tea, and we need money to save games."

Su Chen pressed his hand, "There was a reading service day in 84, and I rented a snack shop near Dongsi, but in our Beijing circle, we only discuss among a few people, just find a suitable place."

In this warm and cold era, if you are in front of outsiders, you can't talk about the word "salon", because it is regarded as a bourgeois thing.

But who are these gangs?

So it's not a problem to talk about cultural salons in front of this group of people.

"And I'm not very much in the capital, so Ma Weidu has to come to greet me in every way." Su Chen continued, "But if you all say that I am rich and come to show off, I will not agree to that."

Wang Shuo laughed: "No, I don't think you're showing off, but I think you're being taken advantage of by saving so much money for nothing to treat us to food and drink."

"Then this matter is settled like this. Ma Weidu, you will come to me to get money tomorrow." Su Chen said, "I believe in your character, what do you guys think?"

Ye Jin first stated: "I think it will work."

"I have no objection, anyway, the money is not mine." Ye Daying followed up.

Wang Shuo laughed: "As long as you can eat and drink, I have no problem."

Ma Weidu hesitated for a long time, he didn't want to take this job, but he likes to make friends, but if he was asked to spend money every time, he would be reluctant.

After a while, he said: "Since the big guys think highly of me, then I will take on this important task, and I will definitely be able to organize this Beijing circle. If there is any event every time, I will open this ticket for you."

"Okay, let's settle this matter." Su Chen said, "I'm leaving the capital in a few days. When will you organize the event and who will you call? You don't need to tell me. If I'm free, I will participate .”

While talking, the food was served.

Everyone chatted while eating, but they didn't feel left out.

After drinking and eating, Su Chen paid the bill, and everyone left one after another.

Ma Weidu asked, "How about I send you off?"

"No need, be careful on the way back." Su Chen waved his hand with a smile.

After watching a few people leave, he drove home.

On the way, Wang Shuo asked Ma Weidu beside him: "How do you know that man? You have too much money, a hot hand?"

"Didn't I tell you, economists, even Yankees pay a lot of money to hire them to go to work." Ma Weidu said, "If you have money, you can build it."

"If you have two bad money in your hand, spend it." Ye Jin agreed.

In the end, everyone came to the conclusion: This guy is rich, and he is pretending to be aggressive.

But spending other people's money, there must be no guilt and no psychological pressure.

Su Chen completely ignored what these people thought of him.

Spending money makes me happy - Su Fuhao.

But this Beijing circle has some appearance, and he wants to become a real boss in the Beijing circle.

Turning around and yelling, Ma Weidu must be running errands for him.

The next day.

Ma Weidu came to get the money, Su Chen gave him 1 yuan, and he said that the money would definitely be spent clearly.

……

After half a month of vacation in the capital, Su Chen handed over the Chinese version of "Principles of Economics" to People's Education for publication, and then planned to return to Hong Kong, because many people came to him, such as students, professors, and people in the circle.

Such as the group of young economists who held a closed-door meeting on Mount Mogan in 84.

In addition to the capital, there are also from other places.

It can be said that it is endless. It is said that there are some exchange meetings, and I want to invite Su Chen to give lectures.

How can Teacher Su have this time?

Instead of spending time talking nonsense with these people, I might as well get up and write a book.

So, one day, he went out quietly and headed to Hong Kong with his secretary.

When the people who came to him visited him, they found that he was no longer in the capital. It was said that he was going south to do research. As for what to study, Xue Yu didn't know.

In desperation, everyone could only leave letters, hoping that after Su Chen came back, he could teach the students in their school.

Back to Hong Kong for the first time.

Su Chen and Tang Wanru discussed the next tasks of Shengshi Technology.

Established a global R&D base.

It is impossible for Shengshi to get involved in every industry and then eat up all the industries, but Su Chen is going to monopolize a certain link.

But now the only thing in Shengshi's hands that Su Chen can handle is the lithium battery.

The current lithography machine does not count.

Now all semiconductor manufacturers can claim that they can manufacture lithography machines.

It goes without saying about Intel and Nikon.

But a lithography machine is like a money printing machine, the material cost is negligible, and time is as precious as a diamond.

It takes at least 1-3 years for a new product to be run-in by multiple manufacturers. Whichever manufacturer mass-produces as soon as possible will have more time to improve problems and increase yield.

Until 1997, American technology giants began to act collectively. Intel joined hands with AMD, Motorola, Micron, Infineon and IBM to establish the EUV lithography technology research and development alliance.

In the EUV lithography alliance jointly established by the US Department of Energy and several major chip giants, ASML is only a small supporting role.

But at an important juncture in the technology upgrade strategy, ASML decided to offer $16 billion to acquire SVG with a market value of only 10 billion.

However, this acquisition was blocked by the US government and the Chamber of Commerce. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States added a bunch of conditions to the acquisition agreement, including not allowing the acquisition of Tinsley, a subsidiary of SVG responsible for grinding lenses, and ensuring that various technologies and talents stay in the United States. wait.

In addition, Wall Street capital in the United States also bought ASML shares in a large scale to realize the holding of the company.

The above conditions make ASML "naturally" become a half-American company. At the same time, ASML also enjoys the benefits of the strong basic science in the United States, which has paved the way for a stand-alone EUV after many years.

Otherwise, why can ASML become a giant?

Let's talk about who entered the EUV lithography technology research and development alliance back then.

Nearly 40 countries joined the battle group, and almost all developed countries in Europe and America entered the game.

Including the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea, all rolled up their sleeves and geared up, all wanting to occupy the commanding heights of EUV lithography technology in the future:

In the United States, more than 50 units participated in the research of EUV lithography technology, including national laboratories, universities, technology companies, etc.;
Europe has the largest bet, with more than 35 independent countries and about 110 research units participating in the research of EUV lithography technology;

Japan got up early, EUV lithography technology research began in 1998, but it was a late episode, and the EUV lithography technology system research association was established in June 2002, which may be related to the decline of its memory chip industry;
With the support of the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Energy, South Korea has carried out research on EUV lithography technology. The main participating units are KERI (Korea Electronics Research Institute), Hanyang University, Kookmin University, Samsung Pohang, and Seoul National University.

It seems that the track is full of excitement, but it is not easy to run the entire course and win the championship, because this is a very difficult event.

But this time is the most suitable time for Su Chen to enter the game.

When the foreign giants react, he has already monopolized half of the technology, and the Americans will have to look at his face by then.

……

Tang Wanru pondered for a while, "Although I don't know why you are obsessed with this thing, but since you have decided, let's set up a global research and development center. Do you have any plans?"

"Yes, if I didn't have a plan, I would definitely not have made this decision." Su Chen took out the things he had prepared, "I call this plan the 'Curve Plan'..."
