Reborn in 1985, divorced, fished and raised a baby, and made a lot of money

Chapter 575 The Crown Jewel of Industry
Before leaving, Han Xiaorui called Wang Liwen and Ye Zheng.

My father-in-law Ye Zheng is still on a business trip and won’t be back until two days later.

Wang Liwen was at home and warmly welcomed Han Xiaorui to bring her children to celebrate the New Year.

When Ye Ling and Ye Chen heard that their sister-in-law was coming, they were so happy that they bought a lot of New Year's goods early.

Han Xiaorui took Xia He and Sister Lian on the plane together.

Xia He and Xia Lian are newly recruited bodyguards. Both are retired female soldiers and are locals.

The salary is high and social security is provided.

Wang Liwen and Ye Ling came to the airport in person to pick us up and go home together.

"Auntie Wang, Ye Feng didn't come this time, and I have something else to do, so I need to leave the child here and ask you to take care of him for me."

Wang Liwen quickly smiled and said, "I originally wanted you to live at home. Without Ye Feng here, I'm also worried about you living in the big yard outside."

"What do you want? Ye Ling is on vacation now, so let him accompany you. Ye Chen and I are at home with the four children and we will make sure they are well looked after by you."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang." Han Xiaorui expressed her gratitude. Ever since she and Wang Liwen reconciled, they got along well and could trust each other completely.

This is all about helping each other and ultimately gaining mutual trust.

In the car, Ye Ling asked: "Sister-in-law, when will my brother be back?"

Han Xiaorui replied: "It will probably take another half a month. The project there is too big and involves too many things, so your brother will stay there longer."

Ye Ling nodded, "So that's how it is. It would be great if Big Brother was at home so we could celebrate the New Year together. I had an event this year and it ended only the day before yesterday. Otherwise, I would have brought Ye Chen to Shencheng to visit you guys."

"Sister-in-law, what exactly brought you here this time? If you can use me, just tell me and I will do my best."

Han Xiaorui smiled and said, "This is a serious matter, let's talk about it when we get home."

Hearing this, Ye Ling was shocked, he knew the meaning of this sentence.

My sister-in-law has always been easy-going and has never backed down, no matter how big the challenge.

Even when things get tough, she rarely gets anxious.

The eldest brother is not at home, and the eldest sister-in-law is in a hurry to come to the capital because of the eldest brother's matter. It must be a very important matter.

"Okay!" Ye Ling held his breath and prepared for battle.

Wang Liwen was a little nervous, "Xiao Rui, do you need me to call your father-in-law and ask him to come home as soon as possible?"

Han Xiaorui shook her head. "No, this matter has little to do with my father-in-law. Let me take a look first."

"Okay, you try first. If you can't finish it, your father-in-law will think of a solution." Wang Liwen nodded, "Xiao Rui, don't be anxious when you encounter problems. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Often, when you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, you will find a bright future."

"Yeah!" Han Xiaorui smiled, "Don't worry, I will try my best."

When we got home, the nanny prepared a delicious lunch.

Ye Chen took his nephews and nieces to play in the yard and have a snowball fight. At this time, Han Xiaorui said to Ye Ling, who looked solemn, "I'm going to Tsinghua University to find Professor Xu. We need to report to the higher-ups that the lithography machine R&D team cannot be disbanded."

Ye Ling was shocked. "Brother has invested a lot of money here. If it disbands, all the investment will go down the drain!"

Han Xiaorui nodded, feeling deeply moved. "Yes, money is a small matter. If this R&D team is disbanded, it will be difficult to get it together again in the future. Chips are known as the 'food' of modern industry and the 'crown jewel' of modern technology."

"As the detonator of the third industrial revolution, the semiconductor industry represented by chips has given rise to a series of important changes in computers, mobile Internet, communication technology, industrial digitization, etc. It can be said that chip technology is one of the core competitiveness of modern science and technology, representing a country's scientific and technological level and innovative imagination."

"Our country has been conducting research and development in this area. The photolithography machine that makes chips is equivalent to the 'industrial mother machine'. Now foreign countries have suddenly liberalized the sale of photolithography machines, and some models are not banned and are allowed to be exported."

"Everyone thinks that foreign lithography machines are better, so they buy them. Our own lithography machines are about to face the point where no one is interested in them. Many people think that it is better to buy them directly from abroad than to invest so much money in research and development every year. This idea is very dangerous and will have a huge impact on the domestic upstream semiconductor industry."

Ye Ling was ready to fight. "Some time ago, our school held a debate on this issue. The affirmative side advocated self-reliance, while the defensive side believed that it was better to buy than to make. They thought that this way they could participate in the globalization of foreign countries and integrate into the Western world."

When Han Xiaorui heard this, she realized that the public opinion war had already begun.

"The northern bear has knelt before the West. Their so-called shock therapy has seen them sell off state assets at a low price, which has been bought out by Western countries such as Europe and the United States. Domestic oligarchs have monopolized resources. Ordinary people are living in even worse conditions. Is this effective?"

Ye Ling didn't say anything. They had discussed before the current situation of Big Mao after the Mao Bear took over.

Many students from their schools will go into politics in the future, so it is normal for them to discuss the international situation in class.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Ye Ling comforted, "Call first and I'll take you there."

Han Xiaorui nodded, "Okay!"

I called and made an appointment with Professor Xu.

Ye Ling and Han Xiaorui went to Tsinghua University together to find Professor Xu.

When Professor Xu saw them coming, he personally poured water for Han Xiaorui and said, "Comrade Han, why didn't Comrade Ye come?"

Han Xiaorui replied: "Ye Feng went abroad for something and will be back in half a month. I got some news here. Is the lithography machine team going to be disbanded?"

Professor Xu sighed when he heard this. "Some people say that we spend so much money every year, but the research we come up with is not as good as that from abroad. It would be better to buy chips from abroad, which can produce better quality chips."

"Not only do many scholars think so, but many companies are also applying to buy foreign equipment. Some companies even do not import lithography machines, but directly import chips from abroad, which is cheaper."

Han Xiaorui was even more depressed after hearing this from Professor Xu. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. It's only been a short time. Have you forgotten this? This is the crown jewel of modern industry."

"Now they are selling to us at a low price in order to impact our semiconductor industry. Once we lose our ability to conduct self-development, they will raise the price. They will put forward various harsh conditions, and we will have to agree to them."

"The cheapness here is also relatively cheap. One of our machines can produce countless agricultural products and cheap industrial products. We are busy working so hard, while others eat meat and we can't even have a sip of soup."

"Our country's development has always been like this, so what is the meaning of our hard work? Is it just to be exploited by Western countries? The example of the late Qing Dynasty is that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. It is not terrible that we have been lagging behind for a long time, but we have been working hard to learn from the foreigners and defeat them."

Professor Xu is a very traditional scientific researcher and he would rather retain his R&D team.

Because he knows too well how difficult this job is.

If you don’t move forward, you will fall behind and never catch up.
