Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 358 Warren Buffett

Pretty Country, Washington, DC.

Without the supporting industrial chain support, the lithography machine is like a beautiful castle in the air, which will eventually collapse.

ASML's high-end lithography machines are constantly accumulating experience, acquiring data, and making huge profits through extensive use, and then relying on these resources to continue to develop a new generation of higher-tech lithography machines.

Yes, experience and data, like money, are also key resources needed for continued research and development.

Only in this way can a virtuous circle be realized.

The better the industrial development, the higher the technological level; at the same time, the higher the technological level, the better the industrial development.

Obviously, for a long period of time, Huaguo does not have a semiconductor industry chain that supports the development of lithography machines.

Of course, not now does not mean that there will not be in the future.

Zhao Wenmu's suggestion is actually to put the lithography machine at a slightly later position in the semiconductor industry, and is currently concentrating on the development of the upstream and downstream industries of semiconductors, and accumulating experience in the use of lithography machines in the process.

After five to ten years, when the industry initially has a certain scale, the lithography machine manufacturing process will be introduced.

In fact, some technologies are not entirely dependent on imports.

In the early stage of technological development, the barriers are not very high. As long as you pay attention to the latest international technological developments in time, you will actually have the opportunity to conduct independent research and development.

For example, when the Wright Brothers invented the airplane in the beautiful country, it was actually very easy to build an airplane by themselves if they learned this information in time and acquired relevant knowledge.

But when the beautiful country's F22 aircraft makes its first flight, if you want poor and white African countries to independently produce jet fighters, you can only say that you are making things difficult for me!

As the saying goes, one step at a time, one step at a time.

Even if Huaguo does not introduce lithography machines, as long as it keeps paying attention to and tracking the latest cutting-edge technology, and uses it in the industry as much as possible, it is a huge progress.

After all, Zhao Wenmu is only one person, and it is impossible to solve all the technology that is stuck by himself, which is simply unrealistic.

Being able to influence decision-making and put more power into key areas is already his greatest contribution to this era.

...

After saying goodbye to Zhao Wenqiu and Gu Anhui, the siblings went directly to Washington DC.

In any era, Chinese people have always had deep fear and speculation about capital groups.

Of course, there are not so many right and wrong in the world of adults, and interests are the eternal theme.

Isn't that what Zhao Wenmu's trip was like?
If it wasn't for Zhao Wenqiu and to make money, he wouldn't have come here either.

And since I'm here, I want to make friends.

Before meeting these new friends, Zhao Wenmu first went to meet his closer friends, Jobs and Mel.

"Zhao, I'm sorry about Ms. Wenqiu's matter. This is a despicable and shameless farce, and I'm ashamed of it!"

"Yes, Zhao, the United States has fallen, and I am also very ashamed! Please forgive us for not helping Wenqiu."

Once they met, Jobs and Mel made no secret of their views on the matter.

"My dear friends, you have done your best, and I sincerely thank you!"

Zhao Wenmu is expressing his gratitude seriously.

In fact, on the day the incident happened, Jobs and Mel came forward, and they bluntly denounced this as a conspiracy and a despicable act of persecution.

After that, the two used their influence to support Zhao Wenqiu on various occasions.

It's the best of friends.

"Steve, I need your help to make an appointment... Wait for the management of the company, I want to meet with them."

Some of these companies participated in this incident, some did not, and some even explicitly opposed the detention of Zhao Wenqiu.

Zhao Wenmu decided to meet them one by one.

He will eventually have business dealings with these companies, and it would be nice to visit them early and thank you for getting to know each other.

This is also one of the reasons why he stayed in the beautiful country for more than two months.

Just visiting so many companies is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive thing.

"Okay, I still have some face."

"Thanks!"

"Mr. Meyer, how is your salvage business doing, have you made any big new discoveries?"

Zhao Wenmu asked with a smile.

"I know! Mel recently discovered clues to the shipwreck of the 'Batu Hitam', and is preparing to go to Indonesia to hunt for treasure!"

Speaking of Mel's treasure hunting career, Jobs was even more excited than him.

"The Batu Hitam?"

"Yes, some people also call it the 'Black Stone'. There is a legend among the local Indonesians that more than 1000 years ago, a shipwreck occurred in Indonesia's waters near the country of China. The dhow sank in the nearby waters. According to local people, it carried a large number of porcelain cultural relics and various jewelry shipped from China."

For this kind of treasure hunting information, Meier talked about it.

"Many people think that this is just a folklore. I don't think so. The Wanli Sunshine is ready to go. In fact, if it wasn't for waiting for you, I would already be on my way to the South China Sea."

"Then I wish you success, find the Black Stone, and let these cultural relics see the light of day again!"

Zhao Wenmu patted Mel on the shoulder.

In fact, after hearing the name Blackstone, he felt that there was a high probability that Mel's trip would be fruitful.

"By the way, I also got a rocket salvage order from NASA! These orders are only a few hundred thousand dollars at best, do you really think it's worth doing?"

Meier's spacecraft salvage and ocean-going survey ship were built under Zhao Wenmu's suggestion, but now it seems that this is not a very profitable business.

It is not difficult to understand that Mel will have such doubts.

"Of course, there will be more and more orders in the future!"

Zhao Wenmu never told Mel and Jobs about his aerospace dream, and the friendship between them has not reached this point yet.

...

After having dinner with the two of them, Zhao Wenmu and his brother returned to the hotel to prepare for the next day's banquet.

Mainly to do some understanding of the situation of the banquet participants.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible, and intelligence is one of the most important resources at any time.

The next banquet that the siblings will attend is essentially a commercial battlefield where there is no smoke.

There was a thick pile of materials sent, and the personal information, social relations, and standpoints of the banquet participants were sorted out in an orderly manner. Although they were all relatively public information, they were also very valuable.

Zhao Wenjun entrusted a professional consulting company to obtain these materials after arriving in the beautiful country.

It has to be said that the social division of labor in the beautiful country is very detailed.

Business intelligence trading is one of them.

Zhao Wenmu saw several names that he was very interested in in this list.

The famous Carnegie, Hilton, Rockefeller...

And the more famous "stock god" Warren Buffett.
