"Haha, you see, such a little guy knows how to coax people.Xiaoling, don't be too strict, children are naughty. ”Tian Chunxiu also helped on the side, which made Liu Xiaoling very depressed."
Okay, let's not talk about it, let's have something to eat."
Although Xiao Bai was very tolerant of the little guy, he also knew that some things could not be said in front of the child, so he asked the flight attendant to arrange meals.After eating and resting, the plane landed at Narita Airport.It takes more than 3 hours to fly from Xiangjiang to Tokyo by business jet, which is not very long.Coming out of the airport, Xiao Bai saw the special car sent by the hotel to pick him up.This time, he booked the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, and the hotel provided a car transfer service.The reason why I chose this hotel is for the convenience of playing.This time, I brought the little one to Tokyo with only one goal, and that was Disneyland."
Bai, we may not have enough time.Tokyo Disneyland is divided into several theme parks, and we can't enjoy them. ”I took a car from the airport and came directly to the hotel, and after a short rest, Tian Chunxiu proposed to play."
Xiao Tian, why are you in such a hurry?
Our plane didn't return until 5 p.m. on Monday, so you can't go back early if you want to. ”Xiao Bai laughed, and only then did he tell Tian Chunxiu the truth."
You guy!
I didn't tell me earlier that I had a meeting on Monday morning. ”Tian Chunxiu glared at Xiao Bai, and hurriedly called the company's administrative manager to let the company's vice president be in charge of Monday's regular meeting."
Daddy, I want to play."
As she was talking, Liu Xiaoling walked in with Chenchen pushing the door."
Alright then, you're not tired, let's go now."
Staying in this hotel is for the convenience of playing, Xiao Bai couldn't bear to disappoint the little guy, so he took a large team of people to the park.From this moment on, Xiao Bai and his party enjoyed two days at Tokyo Disneyland.Magic City.As soon as Wei Jianjun went to work on Monday, he got a very bad news."
Mr.
Wei, Nikon is calling, and the shipment is going to be delayed again."
This is Nikon's second delayed shipment, and the lithography machine ordered by Wei Jianjun for the development of the 90N process process has not been seen until now.The delay in the arrival of equipment will inevitably affect the entire R&D plan, which makes Wei Jianjun feel very annoyed.After hesitating for a while, he dialed Xiao Bai's mobile phone."
Assistant Yang, is Dong Xiao here?"
It was Yang Yan who answered the phone, and she was also in Tokyo at this time.Her current role is equivalent to Wen Qin's original role, basically where Xiao Bai is, she is there."
Mr.
Wei, Xiao Dong is on vacation with his family.If you have anything to say, I'll tell you about it later. ”Yang Yan looked at the towering Ferris wheel, she really couldn't let Xiao Bai answer the phone at this time."
Well, that's the case, our company's equipment import has encountered a little trouble, I want to ask Xiao Dong and Nikon to say hello."
Wei Jianjun knew that Xiao Bai had a connection with Nikon, and Xiao Bai and Zhou Siyi both knew Nikon's top executives, so he said so."
Nikon?
Xiao Dong is now in Tokyo.Mr.
Wei, wait, Xiao Dong seems to be here. ”Yang Yan and Wei Jianjun were talking, and Xiao Bai and they walked over from the Ferris wheel.So she hurriedly stepped forward and handed the phone to Xiao Bai."
Old Wei, you are really good at joining in the fun.I only have half a day left here this morning, and I'll fly back in the afternoon. ”Xiao Bai said with a smile."
Xiao Dong, I don't want to disturb your vacation.But I'm really anxious, because Nikon's equipment has been out of stock for a long time, and our research and development work will not be able to begin. ”Wei Jianjun hurriedly said his own affairs and wanted Xiao Bai to help him think of a way."
You call Dean Zhou, he and Nikon's senior management can talk, and the equipment matter should be negotiable.By the way, I have a new idea about the equipment, and I'll contact you when I get back. ”Xiao Bai suddenly remembered ASML at this moment, although the current leader of lithography equipment in the world is still Nikon, but in a few years, ASML will be on the throne.It is actually necessary to establish a relationship with ASML as early as possible."
Okay, Xiao Dong, then I won't disturb your vacation."
Wei Jianjun got what he wanted and hurriedly hung up the phone.Xiao Bai held the mobile phone in his hand and stood in place for a long time.During this time, he also had a lot of things, such as lawsuits and anti-dumping investigations, so he forgot about the lithography machine.At this point in time, it is actually a very important turning point for the IC manufacturing industry.The 193N light source has not been able to move forward for many years, and the 157N light source dry lithography machine successfully developed by Nikon and other companies needs to make major improvements to the production line due to problems such as light source absorption.Until now, Times IC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has not made up its mind to introduce such a new type of equipment.But Xiao Bai knows very well that Nikon's technical route will soon be eliminated.ASML and Taipower will cooperate in the research and development of immersion lithography machines, and the death sentence for dry lithography machines will be pronounced in the future."
Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
Liu Xiaoling then walked over and saw Xiao Bai standing there in a daze, so she asked."
Oh, it's fine.Xiao Yang, the phone is for you.Let's play for a while, we have to go back to the hotel, and we have to rush to the airport in the afternoon. ”Xiao Bai handed the phone to Yang Yan, and seeing that Tian Chunxiu had already taken Xiao Chenchen to another place, he and Liu Xiaoling also hurriedly walked over.At noon, everyone returned to the hotel, had lunch and rested for a while, and then the group went to the airport.The plane took off on time, landed at Xiangjiang Airport in the evening, and it was already late when I got home.After resting for the night, Tian Chunxiu went to the ZH early the next morning.Xiao Bai did not disturb Liu Xiaoling and the little guy, and handled official business in the office of Yingsheng Investment in the morning."
Old Wei, have you contacted Dean Zhou?"
After dealing with the urgent official business at hand, Xiao Bai grabbed the phone and dialed Wei Jianjun."
Dong Xiao, have you returned to China?
I have already contacted Dean Zhou, and he promised to help me solve the supply problem. ”Wei Jianjun was a little helpless, it stands to reason that the customer is God, but at present, Nikon has a lot of orders, and it is indeed a little too busy."
Well, I want to tell you something else.You should contact ASML, although their products are not as good as Nikon for the time being, but I think the immersion lithography machine they have developed will be the mainstream in the future. ”As a person who has come over, Xiao Bai knows very well that immersion lithography technology can dry the IC process to the limit of 7n without changing the light source (193n).On the contrary, the 157N light source lithography machine built by Nikon will be ruthlessly abandoned by the market in the future."
Xiao Dong, are you so sure?
I've read Dr.
Lin's article on immersion lithography, and I think they all have the potential to succeed or fail. ”Wei Jianjun has also been tracking the world's advanced technology, and he knows about immersion lithography technology, but to be honest, he still lacks confidence."
I'm pretty sure, it's my gut feeling.Also, it's not wrong that you're on good terms with ASML now.You are the user, no matter who wins, how can he still sell your device?
”Xiao Bai couldn't explain too much to Wei Jianjun, but fortunately, he established absolute authority in the Department of Times, and no one dared not listen to what he said.Could he be wrong?
No kidding, that's the truth when he says it, right?"
Okay, Xiao Dong, I will do it according to your opinion."
Wei Jianjun saw that Xiao Bai had made up his mind, so he stopped being verbose and directly agreed.After Xiao Bai hung up the phone, he was still a little unsatisfied.However, if you think about it calmly, ASML will not accept the cooperative research and development of the Times Department.ASML itself had a chance to turn over with the support of Lao Mei, and the actual behind-the-scenes boss of Taipower is still American-funded."

Dean Zhou, let's have a meal together at noon, there are some things I want to talk to you about."
Xiao Bai then made a phone call to Zhou Siyi and invited the other party to lunch."
Okay, let's go out to eat.You wait for me after work, and I'll go to you. ”Zhou Siyi nodded in agreement.Midday.Xiao Bai and Zhou Siyi came to a Cantonese restaurant and sat in a small private room to eat."
Dean Zhou, I think it is a key node in IC manufacturing technology.In the morning, I also talked with Mr.
Wei about immersion lithography technology, which I think represents the future direction. ”Xiao Bai and Zhou Siyi talked about their views."
Coincidentally, I think so too.However, I'm not an expert in the field of lithography, and there is a subjective element to this. ”Zhou Siyi knew Dr.
Lin, and he admired Dr.
Lin very much, and agreed with many of the other party's views."
Dean Zhou, didn't we send some technicians to Pudong Microelectronics?
I think you should talk to them about the time to move away from dry lithography and start working on immersion lithography. ”Xiao Bai's purpose is here, although there is still a gap between the technology of microelectronic equipment and the world's advanced level, but being able to take fewer detours means saving time."
Well, I'll talk to them about that.As for whether the other party recognizes it or not, I'm not sure, after all, it's not good for us to interfere with others. ”Zhou Siyi didn't refuse, but he wasn't sure he could convince the other party.Whether it succeeds or not, you can only try your luck."
We still have to try to convince them, after all, we have a cooperative relationship with each other, and it is not wrong to say that we are our own people."
Xiao Bai ordered it to the end, and after eating, the two of them went their separate ways.Magic City.After Wei Jianjun received Xiao Bai's instructions, he called Minister Chen, who was in charge of equipment procurement of the company, to his office.Minister Chen told him that ASML's sales staff had come to the company many times and wanted to establish an equipment supply relationship with the company.However, the company has been purchasing Nikon equipment before, and the two sides have not had much in common so far.Wei Jianjun asked Minister Chen to contact ASML's sales staff on the initiative, and said that the company wanted to expand the supply chain, so the other party could use the equipment for testing.If you change the equipment of another manufacturer, you must test it first.This process generally doesn't take a short time.
