Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1997 We now have the ability to adjust the entire lithography industry

The scene switched to Ji Donglai, who had already put on a pair of frameless glasses as requested by Qiu Haitang, and was wearing a suit, white shirt, and tie.

Anyone can tell that he is a senior business person, and Ji Donglai is very cooperative at this time.

"Hello, host. We have given Victory Company ample time and opportunities, but they have been giving us the runaround and asking us to express our attitude. We have no choice but to express this attitude now."

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when everyone is watching the lanterns, we will broadcast live on this channel and destroy these locked equipment. From now on, we will no longer cooperate with Shengli Company. We will also no longer cooperate with any so-called high-tech companies in the United States."

"They are too arrogant. We paid for the equipment but they still won't let us use it. They are robbers. See you on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Also, please note that chip manufacturers that own Shengli's lithography machines, when we destroy this production line, we hope you will send engineers over!"

"If there are any spare parts that can be used, take them for free. We will treat them all as garbage. In addition, we want to inform everyone that Shengli's equipment is rubbish. We have been repairing it over the years. This is our maintenance record, which is comparable to a phone book. How can there be such rotten equipment?"

"If they don't lock our four production lines, we won't use them because each maintenance costs a lot of money. Their engineers charge full price and only provide remote guidance. They are so slow and disgusting. The equipment is terrible and the attitude is terrible. We don't know how they can say they are the world's top company. By the way, our purchasing manager has been fired for four years. Next, see you on the 15th day of the first lunar month."

"By the way, please download our maintenance records for this production line of Shengli Company from the link below. I guarantee you will find some surprises. Thank you, host."

Ji Donglai showed no mercy to Shengli Company.

Losing so much money every day, Ji Donglai has already sent people to initiate lawsuits in local courts in the United States. No matter what the outcome is, Ji Donglai will make the other party pay a sufficient price.

But before there was any result here, Qiu Haitang's phone rang.

Ji Donglai and Qiu Haitang were feeding each other, but when they saw the landline phone call, Qiu Haitang hurriedly told Ji Donglai to stop making trouble.

"Grandpa, you're looking for me!"

The only person who used the home phone was Mr. Qiu. Qiu Haitang was very respectful. Ji Donglai stroked his beard and nodded to show his agreement.

Qiu Haitang went up and slapped Ji Donglai in the face, and he was hit not too hard either. Then he moved closer to answer the phone.

"Haitang, tell Donglai not to make things so awkward. It's no good. Do things in moderation. Shengli is an old company and has great influence in various industries in the United States."

Watching the live disassembly video from Ji Donglai's company, Mr. Qiu was somewhat dissatisfied.

Ji Donglai is too high-profile in his work, which is not conducive to the future development of the company. Apart from anything else, Shengli Company exported a lot of equipment to the country at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Although it was second-hand and I cheated a lot of money, the deep friendship I formed with many people today should not be underestimated.

"Grandpa, do you know why Donglai dared to smash Shengli Company's equipment?"

Qiu Haitang was very dissatisfied with the old man for having to remotely control her life from such a long distance. Of course, she also firmly supported Ji Donglai. Ji Donglai gently hugged his wife, and Qiu Haitang signaled him to stay away as it was too hot.

"Huh? Why?"

Qiu Haitang rarely refuted what he said, which made the old man feel a little strange.

"Because we already have the ability to challenge the entire lithography machine industry!" Qiu Haitang said here with a firm gaze and a solemn expression.

Qiu Haitang went to see the chip printer in person and found that the equipment was much smaller than the lithography machine.

The photolithography machine uses photo etching, which is actually laser burning! A specific wavelength and a fixed time are used to burn the surface of the silicon plate into a fixed shape.

Ji Donglai explained the technical essentials to Qiu Haitang, but Qiu Haitang just didn't remember them.

The chip printer technology is now mature. Qiu Haitang has been looking at the financial reports of chip factories these days. The overall chip production is steadily increasing and has not been affected at all.

Mr. Qiu was also shocked. After all, the other party only had an idea about the chip industry. They said that China was developing lithography machines and had reached a certain level, the nanometer level.

It seems that the smaller the better. After decades, there is still no high-level equipment in China.

How did Ji Donglai develop a printer? Isn't the photolithography machine the most advanced? What the hell is this?

"Haitang, you mean..."

Although he was shocked, Mr. Qiu still didn't understand. After all, this thing was too mysterious and too high-tech for the old man.

Even the concept of photolithography machines is something that Mr. Qiu has been urgently studying recently. Someone just called Mr. Qiu and said that he was very vague about it.

"What I mean is that our chip printer can completely replace any lithography machine, so we are not afraid! Donglai invests half of its revenue into the R&D center every year, another quarter is distributed to workers, and the remaining quarter is basically paid as taxes. We are a little crazy now, but we have the capital, so we can afford it!"

"This time we are not only going to destroy their equipment, but also their jobs. For decades, they have taken so much money from us, but they are not grateful at all. Instead, they boss us around."

"Western economics always promotes one thing: the customer is God! Now, we are not even as good as our grandsons when it comes to dealing with the outside world. Why should we do that? We have developed our own equipment, why should we put up with their bullshit? We have already made this equipment, and from now on, Donglai will compete with them for the market."

In theory, Qiu Haitang knew how huge the losses were as shown in the financial report.

Ji Donglai basically showed everything to the other party. Which woman could tolerate Victory Company destroying her family's money like this?

"Okay, that's encouraging. We discussed this, and it involves more than just this. Donglai has ruined someone's job this time, and it will cause a lot of follow-up problems. You should be prepared."

"All those companies in the United States are connected to each other, either by blood or by cross-holding of capital. This is an open secret. If you offend one, you offend the whole group. I still suggest that you keep a low profile and don't get into trouble just because of a momentary anger."

Knowing that his grandson-in-law is so capable, Mr. Qiu is very happy.

But as a parent, the other party still has the upper hand.

"Come on. Whatever they impose sanctions on, Donglai can come up with it. Come on. Why can our drones fly 8,000 kilometers? There are so many drones in the country, including those from your aircraft manufacturers, why can't they fly?"

After listening to the old man for so many years, Qiu Haitang is now annoyed.
