"Why should we cooperate with a Dutch company? The photolithography they make is not good either."

"Our group company is one of the shareholders of ASML, so naturally we have to cooperate with our own people."

"Don't worry, when has our Xu Dong ever suffered a loss?"

Under the podium, a group of engineers who came to attend the meeting were talking like this, and had some doubts about Xu Zhenming's decision.

Not only did they do so, Zhang Ndengjing and Hu Mingzhen, who were sitting beside Xu Zhenming on the podium, were also a bit confused.

"Xu Dong, ASML is now independent from Philips, with little capital, not much technology, and not a high market share of products. Why should we cooperate with this company?"

"Mr. Hu is right, aren't we giving them technology?" Zhang Ndangjing echoed Hu Mingzhen at the side.

After looking at the suspicious expressions of these two people, Xu Zhenming smiled. "Do you know who the most shareholders of ASML are?" He smiled and looked at Zhang Neodymiumjing who opened his mouth wide.

"Who is it?" Zhang Ndangjing asked impatiently.

When Xu Zhenming saw this, he lowered his voice and said, "It's the New York Gang of Rice. With this gang of gold masters, will ASML still lack a market in the future?"

"Oh ......" Hu Mingzhen made a dawning realization.

At this time, Xu Zhenming raised his voice again and said, "Colleagues, we should be able to solve the problem of the host system of the lithography machine soon. Next, let's discuss the problem of the laser light source of the lithography machine. Before talking about this problem, I want to introduce a scientist to you."

Xu Zhenming raised his voice to change the topic and introduced Dr. Zhou Yang, the bamboo pole on the podium, to everyone present as he spoke. He announced on the spot that the group company was going to form two laser labs, one in Mindu and one in Guanggu.

"The two laser labs enjoy the same treatment, and the group company allocates the same experimental funds. You have to compete with each other, and whoever can come up with a qualified ArF laser generator early will have their experimental funding directly incremented by one notch."

While the crowd was still digesting the amazing decision he made, Xu Zhenming smiled and said a decision that surprised the crowd even more. Such a situation had never occurred in a company in China, where there was a company that set up two similar laboratories competing with each other at the same time.

Therefore, the engineers under the podium all looked at Professor Hao Ning on the podium, wanting to see how Professor Hao Ning looked at this matter.

Professor Hao Ning's expression was very unnatural at this moment. "Xu Dong, our team still has an optical lab, the same funding can't be enough." He hesitated for a moment and started to scream on the spot.

True to his experience, Professor Hao Ning did not raise objections with his boss on the spot and did not lose his temper in front of the crowd. However, deep inside he was still a little upset, "What is this called? The boss actually doesn't believe in the ability of our team?"

But Xu Zhenming didn't seem to see his expression. "The group company is going to separate the optical laboratory from the Light Valley Company, and then also look for a partner to specialize in optical equipment research and development." He said indifferently, and did not explain why he wanted to do so.

Seeing this situation, Hu Mingzhen, who was sitting beside Xu Zhenming, was a little worried that Professor Hao Ning couldn't stand it. "I agree with Dong Xu's opinion. This program was also proposed by me and Dong Xu." He hurriedly excused his boss after Xu Zhenming spoke, taking this very sudden decision of Xu Zhenming on his own head.

Afterwards, he explained to everyone present the reason why the group company had to do so, "The development speed of the fourth generation lithography is very important, we must not lag behind the islanders. Otherwise, we will be eliminated from the industry!"

Not only that, Hu Mingzhen also introduced the situation of some multinational companies in Rice to all those present. People started to engage in competition and performance assessment of internal organizations many years ago, and it was no big surprise to think that Xu Zhenming made such decisions.
