The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 361: Borrowing a chicken to lay eggs for their own purposes!

In the midsummer of 1970, when the whole of North America, or rather the world, was going crazy because the price of PHS mobile phones dropped to double digits, Clive of the Chicago consortium, Akio Morita of Sony, and others all faced a choice:

Should the annual communication service fee be reduced in price or not?
Beginning in May, immediately after China Resources issued the announcement, the prices of PHS mobile phones around the world were reduced, all to the retail price of US$99.

This price is very, very low. It can be said that this is the first time such a crazy moment since the PHS mobile phone went on sale.

Is the price of ninety-nine dollars expensive?

Not expensive!

Especially for economically developed regions such as Europe and the United States, such excellent electronic products come with double-digit prices, which is of course very cheap.

As a result, after the price of PHS dropped to double digits, global sales increased accordingly.

Many suppliers have come to Hong Kong Island from all over the world just to get the goods as soon as possible.

The current sales of PHS mobile phones are very scary. They were sold out almost immediately after they were put on the shelves.

In some places, there were even fights between people because they could not buy PHS mobile phones.

Originally, the number of PHS mobile phone users around the world was just over 200 million, but in a short period of time, it exceeded 300 million.

The Majuqiao Industrial Park in the Mainland is operating at full capacity, returning to its previous monthly output of 20 million units.

As a result, this output did not last for half a month, and they had to add new production lines again, increasing the output to 30 million units.

How crazy is it to produce 30 million PHS mobile phones every month?

Anyway, for now, the sales of PHS mobile phones will not drop this summer, or even in the following autumn and winter.

It is possible that after this wave of price cuts ends, PHS global users may exceed 400 million, or even more.

Therefore, in the face of such a huge number of users, Clive and Akio Morita are having meetings to decide whether to reduce the annual service fee.

Just because the sales of PHS mobile phones have increased a lot, but very few people choose annual communication services.

This is very uncomfortable.

There are obviously users, but these users are not willing to pay for it.

If you think about it carefully, you will feel that this is normal.

why?
Because people who want to buy a PHS must have already bought it and will not wait until now.

The reason why sales of PHS mobile phones are soaring now is because the price of mobile phones is only double digits.

The price is low, so they choose to buy it, but the annual communication service fee is US$999, which is a full US$900 more expensive than a PHS mobile phone.

For nine hundred dollars, you can buy ten more PHS phones.

Therefore, if the price is not reduced, then these new PHS users will definitely not choose the annual communication service fee.

If you don’t choose annual subscription, then the financiers won’t be able to make their money.

Because this group of consumers will definitely use PHS mobile phones sparingly or even not at all.

Some people may say, if you don’t use it, why buy it?
This is something we have to ask consumers themselves, are they buying it to show off? Either for emergency use or for decoration, there are countless reasons.

After all, with such cheap electronic products, if you don’t buy them, you will always feel like you are at a loss.

Sony Corporation, New York headquarters, a meeting is being held.

Akio Morita invited Lannister Morgan and other shareholders over to discuss the price reduction of annual communication service fees.

In fact, according to Feng Delian and others, it is best not to lower the price. After all, sooner or later those consumers will choose the annual service.

Just because here in the West, knowledge is priceless.

Respecting intellectual copyright is the consensus of everyone.

The annual communication service fee includes text message bombardment, which contains a lot of newspaper headlines, weather forecasts and other related information. These information are paid information, otherwise it would not be so expensive, and consumers would not be so happy. Pay this money.

The meeting began, and the opinions of von Delian and others immediately made Akio Morita very angry.

These capitalists should not be so short-sighted, and they cannot possibly not know how well PHS mobile phones are selling now.

But there are so many PHS mobile phone users on the market, but not many choose the services of their communication companies.

To be precise, not many people are willing to choose annual communication services.

And those people are only willing to pay so much money if they have so much phone bills, so their PHS mobile phones must not be used very often. Otherwise, a minute of calls will cost one point and two dollars, and no one can afford it.

The unit price is so expensive, otherwise not many people would be willing to choose the annual subscription service.

"My suggestion is to first lower the price to 899 US dollars to see how consumers react, and then increase the unit price a little more, to 1.5 US dollars."

After hearing Akio Morita's suggestion, the Lannisters and the others suddenly smiled like profiteers.

Good guy, Akio Morita, a guy from Tokyo, is really good at doing business. He charges consumers one and a half dollars for a minute of phone calls?

terror!
terrible!
So treacherous!
But this strategy was still very good. After discussing it for a while, everyone unanimously approved it.

Nowadays, there are so many PHS mobile phone consumers on the market, so we still have to hurry up and make them all take the initiative to become consumers of annual communication services and accept the bombardment of text messages from communication companies.

Soon, in North America, the adjustment of communication service fees for PHS mobile phones immediately aroused a lot of discussion, and many people expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Especially those who just spent $999 for an annual subscription, they feel they should also enjoy such a discount.

As a result, I was deceived again, and I spent an extra US$899 to purchase communication services for the next year.

The communication service fees of PHS mobile phones were adjusted, and the price of Big Brother mobile phones was also forced to adjust, from US$799 to US$699.

It’s impossible without adjustments. Affected by the frenzy of price cuts for PHS mobile phones, the sales of Big Brother mobile phones have also dropped a lot.

It stands to reason that Big Brother mobile phones and PHS mobile phones are two different types of mobile phones, and the consumer groups have certain differences.

But he still received a severe shock.

Both Big Brother and Big Brother phones have been adjusted, but only the Donald Duck phone has not adjusted its price. It seems that it has accepted its fate.

One hundred and ninety-nine dollars is already their limit. If the price is lowered further, not only will they not make any money, but they may also lose money.

Eighty-nine US dollars is the average cost of each mobile phone, but Donald Duck Technology and IBM have spent more than three years researching and developing it. During these three years, the research and development costs invested are very large.

This part of the research and development costs must be earned back first.

As for the stock price drop of Donald Duck Technology?
Anyway, for Comrade Tang Dake, it no longer has much influence, so he insists on the principle of making money first.

Only if Donald Duck Technologies makes money will the stock price regain its footing.

However, the reality is so cruel.

The PHS phone costs only ninety-nine dollars, but the Donald Duck phone costs one hundred and ninety-nine dollars. The price difference between the two is one hundred dollars, which is too big.

Therefore, not many consumers choose Donald Duck mobile phones.

Under such circumstances, Comrade Tang Dake and other high-level officials did not take better measures to respond, so sales would naturally not increase.

If it were Chen Guohua who came here and directly gave away the mobile phone for free, signed a more expensive phone package contract, and directly turned the mobile phone into a contract phone, he would still be able to sell the mobile phone.

In the current North American mobile phone market, PHS has the highest sales volume of mobile phones, which is definitely a win-win.

The sales volume of Big Brother mobile phones is average. After all, the price of this mobile phone is quite expensive. Although its call range is not affected, it is still too expensive after all.

As for Donald Duck’s mobile phone, it’s okay not to mention it.

One summer passed, and the sales of PHS mobile phones surged by 70 million units. This revenue alone made Song Xuexian of China Resources and Qiu Zongyue of Beijing happy for several days.

It has been several months, but the sales growth rate of PHS mobile phones has not slowed down and is still growing.

It can be said that the biggest surprise this summer is the PHS mobile phone.

I used to think that the Donald Duck Phone would be affected when the knockoff phone came out, but I didn’t expect that the PHS phone after the price reduction would directly kill everyone, causing the Donald Duck Phone to completely stop selling.

However, what is amazing is that the Donald Duck mobile phone survived.

Because Comrade Tang Dake actually cooperated with the Ministry of National Defense, Donald Duck Mobile became a military partner.

Under this banner, tens of thousands of mobile phones were sent to the Ministry of National Defense, coupled with publicity in the media and newspapers, in the name of patriotism, the result was that Donald Duck was brought back to life. Although the sales did not explode, they were sold. Nearly one million units.

Counting the more than 100,000 mobile phones sold before, more than one million Donald Duck mobile phones have also been sold.

There is also a lot of revenue from this part.

In addition, there are more than 500,000 consumers who choose annual communication service fees, so this part of the revenue also exceeds 450 million US dollars.

The signal base station used by Donald Duck's mobile phone is actually that of PHS mobile phone.

In other words, they have signed a cooperation agreement with Sony, and they have to share part of the annual service fee of US$899 with Donald Duck Mobile.

In this way, Donald Duck Technology Company has barely survived this difficulty.

Comrade Tang Dake did not start another business. Instead, he used part of the funds to buy his own Donald Duck Technology Company at the bottom, bringing his shares back to more than 40%.

They were reluctant to let go of the First Citibank shares, and seemed a bit resigned to their fate.

After all, Citibank First would definitely lose a lot of money if it took action at this time.

Now that Comrade Tang Dake has bought the bottom, Donald Duck Technology will definitely rise again in the future.

The myth of New York's wealth has now become a name that everyone shouts about. Anyway, Comrade Tang Dake's golden statue of wealth has been destroyed.

However, after Donald Duck's mobile phone sales came out, the media began to slander him again.

In short, Donald Duck Technology can still be saved.

In the capital, Zhenhua Research Institute, in the director's office, Chen Guohua, who had been busy for several months, finally took a rare half-day break today.

This past summer, he was extremely busy.

In May, there were not only meetings, but also reporting sessions. There were three reporting sessions in total, which was quite time-consuming.

Fortunately, this International Congress of Mathematicians came to a successful conclusion, and many people gained a lot from coming to the capital.

Chen Guohua firmly believes that the seeds this time have been sown and will surely sprout, take root and grow branches in the future.

Mathematics is a subject that requires a lot of talent. With so many people in the Mainland, there must be many talented people.

As long as they are discovered and sent to the capital, they will definitely be better trained.

At this conference, Lu Jiaxi did not win the Fields Medal, but Chen Jingrun did.

The latter won the Fields Medal, which is very exciting for the entire mainland.

If Lu Jiaxi doesn't get it, he can only wait for the next one. If he doesn't get it in the next one, he will have no chance in this life.

Because the Fields Medal is only awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions to mathematics, and Lu Jiaxi, who was born in 1935, was already 39 years old in 1974.

It would be impossible for people like Jiang Boju, Chen Shuxing and Bai Ronggen not to be envious when they see Chen Jingrun winning the award.

Chen Guohua told them that if you conduct research seriously, it is not impossible to win the Fields Medal in the future.

As a result, each of them began to count their own ages.

But it's okay, they are all around thirty years old, which means they still have about seven or eight years left.

Because if they want to win the prize, they must attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1978. If it is the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1982, they will be overage.

When Chen Jingrun won the award, Wang Yuan was the most affected.

Just because Wang Yuan and Chen Jingrun are similar, they are both assistant researchers or researchers at the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Everyone started at the same starting point. Wang Yuan even entered the Institute of Mathematics earlier than Chen Jingrun, but the latter won the Fields Medal before the age limit.

And Wang Yuan, who is 40 years old this year, still has not won the Fields Medal, and the future is even more unlikely.

As long as people are over forty, their research energy and brain thinking in mathematics are not as good as before.

For example, if you encounter a problem that requires you to stay up late to do calculations and calculations, and a sudden burst of inspiration happens, young people will definitely have no problem, and they can stay up all night for ten days and a half.

But for middle-aged people, it is very difficult.

Just because your body has begun to decline at this time, once you stay up late for ten days and a half, your body may collapse like this.

In the history of the original time and space, Lu Jiaxi tortured his body like this. Even after getting married, he often stayed up very late, which led to his sudden and early death from a heart attack.

If a person cannot get a good rest, often stays up late, and even the body has issued warnings but does not take it seriously, then sudden death is also normal.

Not only Wang Yuan envied Chen Jingrun, but also Chen Jingrun’s teacher Hua Luogeng.

As the former number one person in mainland mathematics, Hua Luogeng has not won similar awards. Although he does not need such awards at this time to add icing on the cake, if possible, who wouldn't want to have such a peak moment on his resume? Woolen cloth?

In recent years, the International Congress of Mathematicians has gradually become the grandest gathering in the world of mathematics. Especially the 1966 Congress was jokingly called the 'best' conference by the media.

The conference in 1966 was held in Moscow, but because of Chen Guohua, not many people attended the conference.

Despite this, even Chen Guohua, the world's leading figure in mathematics, is actively fighting for the right to host the conference, and even publishes one or several papers every month, hoping that the 1970 International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in Held in Beijing.

Because of this, this conference will be known to many people, and its importance will become more and more prominent.

As the most important award at the conference, the Fields Medal has become increasingly valuable.

No matter what, this mathematician conference held in Beijing ended successfully. For Chen Guohua, this is the best news.

After May, Chen Guohua was also not idle for the next three months.

After chatting with two big guys in the physics world, Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang, the three of them met from time to time and improved the relevant theories of quantum mechanics.

Each wrote a paper, but this kind of paper cannot be published.

After the theory of quantum mechanics was perfected, it provided the most important theoretical basis for quantum entanglement transmission technology, quantum chips, quantum radar, quantum satellites and other related technologies.

Therefore, after improving the theory, Chen Guohua took the lead and established several quantum-related scientific research projects. Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao were also responsible for the technical consultants of several of these projects.

It's not enough if these projects are not established, and they are also established at the highest level of confidentiality. The higher-ups attach great importance to this.

Just because these projects are related to future technology, it is normal to be cautious.

In addition, Chen Guohua also participated in related work on laser weapon projects.

Although he is not the project leader, he is definitely a technical consultant.

And unlike Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao who are purely technical consultants, Chen Guohua also needs to provide most of the technical information and some technical guidance.

So his work will be very hard and tiring.

Of course, Chen Guohua is not the Lu Jiaxi of the original time and space. He even risked his life for work.

He himself is still a person who is very afraid of death, so as long as it is a holiday, he will relax himself and try not to arrange work for himself.

In this life, in addition to work, there are wives, children, and other scenery. There is no need to focus only on work and forget to see other scenery.

What's more, isn't the reason why Chen Guohua works so hard just to see better and more beautiful scenery?
Thinking back on his efforts this summer, Chen Guohua couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Xue Yajun knocked on the door and walked in, placing information and newspapers from North America on the desk in front of Chen Guohua.

"Director, Leader Qiu couldn't come because he had something to do. He sent someone to deliver the information, and it's all here." "Well, just leave it here."

"Okay director, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first."

Chen Guohua nodded. After the other party left the office, he closed his eyes and rested for a while, then picked up the information on the table and started reading.

Soon, he learned about some situations in North America. For example, Donald Duck Technology Company had actually come back from the dead. It was really surprising news.

"Haha, borrowing a chicken to lay eggs?"

Donald Duck mobile phone and PHS mobile phone actually share the same base station signal?
In this case, it's not up to you greedy capitalists.

Nowadays, the number of PHS mobile phone users has gradually increased. No matter how much the number of consumers who choose annual subscription services grows, as long as more people use it, it is bound to cause congestion in communication signals.

At that time, Sony will inevitably turn to China Resources to solve such technical problems due to a large number of complaints.

Therefore, Sony will definitely have to make a killing at that time.

In addition to this news, Qianduoduo Supermarket once again received not-so-good news.

Lannister Morgan and the others once again urged Chen Yuanchao and Capaldi, hoping that Qianduoduo Supermarket could launch a second round of financing plan.

why?
Because in June, Costco Supermarket had launched its second round of financing plan, directly using 15% of its shares to raise funds based on a valuation of US$38 billion, and raised a total of US$5.7 billion. US dollars.

In May at that time, Costco Supermarket's annual revenue in Europe alone exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars, and including revenue in North America, it had exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars.

So based on the valuation of US$38 billion, there is nothing wrong with it.

Costco Supermarket has already raised so much money, although it is far from the US$69 billion that was raised in the first round by Qian Duoduo.

However, Qianduoduo Supermarket and Kaishike Supermarket are companies of different sizes, so naturally they cannot be compared simply like this.

Now Kaoshike Supermarket has the financial strength and momentum that Qianduoduo Supermarket once had. Once Kaoshike Supermarket occupies more of the market, it will inevitably affect Qianduoduo Supermarket.

In addition, other competitors such as Walmart, Target, Gibson, Carrefour, and Woolworths will not stand still.

But the market is so big, and it will be much more difficult for Qianduodu Supermarket to regain the market that has been taken away by other competitors.

Not to mention, just some time ago, Target Supermarket also announced its entry into the low-cost supermarket track, and it is said that it has received a billion US dollars in financing.

Therefore, many competitors have realized how outrageous the development model of Qianduoduo Supermarket is, and they want to enter this track to get a share of the pie.

Based on this, von der Leian and other capitalists, armed with this information and analysis, wanted to persuade Chen Yuanchao and Capaldi to launch a second round of financing.

After reading this information, Chen Guohua just shook his head and gave a direct instruction of "no".

For the current Qianduoduo Supermarket, its own self-operated profits are enough to support the development and expansion of the company, and there is no need for further financing at all.

Even going public is not necessary.

Going public is just a capital feast and does not bring much benefit to Qianduoduo Supermarket itself.

For example, in a very ordinary month, August 1970, Qianduoduo Supermarket had a total of 680 stores around the world, and its monthly revenue reached a terrifying US$35.7 billion.

The profit margin is maintained at 5.5%, which means that in August alone, Qianduoduo Supermarket made a profit of US$1.96 billion.

How could such a pure profit not be enough for Qianduoduo Supermarket’s subsequent store expansion?

You know, at the end of last year, the number of Qianduoduo Supermarket stores was only 500. As a result, in September, the number of stores is close to 700.

From here we can see how terrifying the expansion speed of Qianduoduo Supermarket is.

With such rapid store growth and terrifying net profits, it’s also hard to raise financing.

It's just financing, isn't it just giving money to people like Lannister Morgan?

Therefore, if you start a crappy financing plan, just reject it directly.

In addition to the news from Qianduoduo Supermarket, there is another news, that is, the patent for the sweetener high fructose corn syrup. In the past few months, more than ten companies have purchased this patent.

With a patent fee of 50 million US dollars per year, these big capitalists still paid for it.

All I can say is, it smells so good!
No one can escape the law of true fragrance, not even the three largest food giants in the world, Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge and Cargill.

Corn syrup is a really awesome sweetener.

Land farms in North America are gradually being consolidated into four giants: Archer Daniels Midland Company, Qianduoduo Supermarket, Bunge Company and Cargill Company.

Among them, Qianduoduo Supermarket has the smallest farm and land area among the four giants, which can only be said to be a bit unworthy of its name.

But Qianduoduo Supermarket is definitely the most profitable one. After all, they have directly connected the entire process of production, processing, and sales, making all the money.

Unlike Archer Daniels, Midland Company, and the other three companies, they simply process the grown grain after harvesting it, or sell the grain directly.

Simple and rude!
But as a result, the profits they gained will naturally be much less.

Now it's much better. Archer Daniels Midland Company can use corn syrup technology to process corn into sweeteners and sell them to KFC, McDonald's, Coca-Cola Company, chocolate companies, food companies, etc.

In short, any food processing company that needs to use white sugar can use this sweetener.

Even Cargill and Bunge directly use their own processing plants to produce various foods, such as chocolate chip cookies.

It's just that they have relatively few sales channels, and this part of the profits can only be earned by other sales terminals.

Chen Guohua was very happy to learn that so many sweetener patents had been sold.

After all, the better these products sell, the better news for him.

Although the annual patent fees for each grain giant are only 50 million U.S. dollars, if the amount is large, they can collect 5.6 billion, or even 7.8 billion U.S. dollars every year.

This is pure profit, no need to do anything.

As for whether giants like Cargill will start a new business on their own, or whether they are unwilling to continue paying for the patent fees, that is not up to them.

Anyone who dares to destroy patents is challenging the entire Western world.

After all, once someone really destroys the patent and continues to go unpunished, it will definitely challenge the patents of the entire Western world. After the order is disrupted, the world will not be far away from chaos.

The patent for the sweetener belongs to Bristol Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the Francis Biological Laboratory of Cambridge University in London, so no one dares not to pay the patent fee.

At this time, the name Great Britain is still very useful.

"After reading so much news, I finally have some good news, haha."

After Chen Guohua read the news, he immediately laughed and was very pleased.

If possible, he still prefers to live by collecting only patents.

Unfortunately, without strong protection, it would be impossible to have the current peaceful situation, and it would be impossible for others to allow themselves to live quietly.

North America, here in New York.

"Farke, they actually rejected our financing plan?"

In the luxurious small hall of the luxurious villa, Brenda Mellon was trembling with anger. Not far away, Lannister Morgan, Von Derian, Hall Cafferty and others also had ugly expressions.

Chen Yuanchao had called just now and tactfully informed Brenda Mellon and others that Qianduoduo Supermarket had no financing plan for the time being.

No financing plan?

Haha, isn't this just rejection?

Qianduoduo Supermarket still has many undeveloped markets, so why not use the money to open up new markets?
"What should we do? Are we really just going to sit there and wait for death?"

Feng Delian's expression was particularly sinister, and he asked in a cold voice, but no one said anything.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart: Bastard!

Everyone here is very greedy, but they are not willing to share their thoughts. They probably have their own plans.

As expected, the meeting ended so unhappy.

But not long after Von der Lean left in the car, Lannister Morgan called and said he was coming back to get together again.

When Vonderian came to the small hall of the villa again, there were only Lannister Morgan and Geinhardt here.

After seeing von der Lean come in, Geinhardt spoke.

The three of them provided funds to acquire a number of small supermarkets, and then combined them into a supermarket group. They then recruited professional managers to work for them, fully replicating the business model of Qianduoduo Supermarket.

"It's best to poach Chen Yuanchao. If that doesn't work, Carl Bryan and the others can do it too."

Geinhardt’s suggestion was immediately opposed by von der Lean:
"No, they are all shareholders of Qianduoduo Supermarket. Once they find out that we are starting a new business, they will definitely regret it. When the time comes, we will be kicked out of the Qianduoduo Supermarket shareholders' meeting, which will make the gain outweigh the loss."

Lannister Morgan nodded, agreeing with Vonderian's suggestion.

Although Chen Yuanchao is very powerful, they are all very familiar with the business model of Qian Duoduo Supermarket, so it is better to hire a cost-effective professional manager to manage it than to leave it to the former.

So, just like that, a business group called Three Brothers Supermarket was launched in just half a month.

Three Brothers Supermarket started out through acquisitions and mergers, and is very well-funded. It had US$3 billion when it was founded, and will continue to make acquisitions in a very short period of time, so it will continue to invest funds.

With abundant funds, it is relatively easy to accomplish big things.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether Three Brothers Supermarket can achieve profitability and when the costs will be recovered.

After all, even Qianduoduo Supermarket is still in the process of expansion, let alone Three Brothers Supermarket, which is so small.

Not long after the establishment of Three Brothers Supermarket, United Supermarket, Broadway Supermarket, Dongcheng Supermarket, etc. sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Although Chen Yuanchao was not in New York, he quickly discovered competitors like Three Brothers Supermarket. After all, they were in the New York and Boston areas, and they were owned by other competitors before the merger.

Now that it has become a chain supermarket, Chen Yuanchao cannot believe that there is nothing fishy about it.

So, after some investigation, he quickly discovered something was wrong.

Co-author Whether it is Three Brothers Supermarket or Broadway Supermarket, they are all invested by Lannister Morgan and others with big capital.

"Haha, I'm not afraid of stuffing myself to death while eating what's in the bowl and looking at what's in the pot."

Chen Yuanchao sneered and passed the news back to the capital.

Chen Guohua, who is far away in the capital, is on vacation at this time and is doing homework with Chen Wei and Chen Si at home.

Not math homework, but practice writing.

For eight or nine-year-old children, practicing writing is an unavoidable childhood shadow.

Although in the future society, too many people will no longer use paper and pen to write.

But it was still the 1970s, writing with pens was still the mainstream, and the number of people who used computers for office work was still only a minority.

"Dad, when are we going to have a picnic?"

Not long after finishing the homework, Chen Wei couldn't wait to ask more questions.

For them, having a picnic is not as simple as playing house, but more of a novel experience.

Every time we go out for a picnic, we go to a different place and see different scenery.

And their parents can also stay with them, which is very rare parent-child time.

Usually, their father is the busiest, but their mother is not that busy.

But with four children in the family, the attention and love given to them by their parents will eventually be multiplied by a quarter. In addition, sometimes, even if his father is on vacation, he may receive a call and leave in a hurry.

So they will be more inclined to go for a picnic.

Because only during picnics, their father would stay with them instead of leaving suddenly.

"Next week, Dad wants to take a break at home this week."

Chen Guohua rubbed the little guy's head and said with a smile.

The little guy suddenly looked unhappy, but Chen Xi said, "Dad, how about we go to the zoo?"

"Sister, are you stupid? Dad just said that he needs to take a rest."

As the eldest sister, Chen Si gave Chen Xi a roll of her eyes and let her figure it out for herself.

Now that the children have grown up one by one, they bicker from time to time, which is quite interesting to watch.

The only thing that makes Chen Guohua feel that his education is relatively good is that they don't fight.

The next day, Chen Guohua returned to work after a day's rest.

Xue Jinquan, Zhang Jichuan, and Lu Zijing came over to ask about the final testing work of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

"Have all the spare parts been developed?"

Hearing this, Chen Guohua suddenly opened his eyes in surprise and asked.

If he remembered correctly, it was around the time the Nantianmen Space Station project was launched, that was last year, right?
Regarding the lens issue for the lithography machine, Xue Jinquan and the others had not yet resolved it at that time.

The result has been resolved now?

The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project was launched in January 1965, burning 100 million yuan in scientific research funds every year. As of September 1970, it has been burning for more than five years, almost six years. , 600 million yuan has been burned in funding alone.

If we can see the light of day now, that is indeed a very happy thing.

"No, the lens issue has not been resolved yet, but other testing work can start now."

Lu Zijing said with some embarrassment. Chen Guohua heard this and said angrily:
"You guys are really amazing. The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is a very precise machine. What is the use of starting the test at this time?"

"The lens problem hasn't been solved yet, why don't we just want to get it right in one step?"

"Only when all the accessories are developed can the testing work be started. Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort."

After scolding them, Chen Guohua dismissed them.

The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project is still very important to the mainland. Although the current development speed of foreign lithography machines is still the second generation of proximity lithography machines, it is just that the wavelength process is much shorter than before. .

Generally speaking, the shorter the wavelength, the better the processing resolution, and the more advanced the chip technology that can be manufactured.

The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine can be said to be a sixth-generation lithography machine process. In other words, once Zhenhua Research Institute develops an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, the West will still need to break through the projection type of 248-nanometer light source. Lithography machines, deep ultraviolet lithography machines using a 193-nanometer light source, and immersion lithography machines using a 134-nanometer wavelength will be able to make technological breakthroughs to extreme ultraviolet with a 13.5-nanometer light source. Lithography machine.

Of course, the West has not yet made a breakthrough in projection lithography machines, let alone completed technological breakthroughs in immersion lithography machines and extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.

Take the immersion lithography machine as an example. Although it is a fifth-generation lithography machine, the light source used by the immersion lithography machine is also a 193-nanometer light source, but this is different from the previous deep ultraviolet lithography machine.

The medium of all previous lithography machines was air, but the immersion lithography machine used water.

When light passes through water, it will be refracted, so although the immersion lithography machine uses a 193-nanometer light source, when it is refracted by water, it is equivalent to a 134-nanometer light source.

In this way, seven-nanometer chips can be manufactured.
