Chapter 191 ASML's sense of oppression
It has to be said that Connie attached great importance to Wang Yi's arrival. The president personally came to the company's door to greet him!
The full name of Connie is Connie Corporation. Its current total market value is about 5 billion US dollars, which is definitely a large group.
But compared to other Canon products, its foundation is much weaker.
As one of the Fortune 500 companies, Canon may not be as powerful as Umbrella, but it still has its own stature and pride. Moreover, Canon's industries are broader, so its positioning is also relatively high.
Reflective Connie, after the lithography machine was damaged, it mainly needs to rely on cameras and lenses.
Nowadays, with the popularity of smart phones, traditional cameras have also been hit hard. Although they still have the core technology in their hands, they have to give up a lot of profits.
And the outlook is also worrying.
In this case, Umbrella’s visit will naturally be taken seriously!
In addition to the potential of Umbrella Lenses, Umbrella itself is also extremely strong in other aspects. Not to mention the 30 billion US dollars in liquid funds obtained from TT, it is enough to buy a few Connies.
Stone-dissolving medicine, cervical cancer vaccine , specific immunoglobulin, these are all products that can bring huge profits, not to mention that it also has a very strong security company.
Sweeping across the twelve cities of the Kingdom of Ba in seven days is something that Japan also attaches great importance to.
Due to some special circumstances , Neon's own armed forces are limited, so they will naturally respect this elite force.
This is also the reason why Wang Yi contacted Connie first.
"President Ma Li."
"Mr. Liu."
After the two greeted each other, they were guided to the meeting room.
They didn't ask why Wang Yi came alone. Anyway, Umbrella had already sent a letter stating that the representative who came here could make all decisions on behalf of the company!
This statement alone is enough for Connie to pay attention to.
Connie’s headquarters actually looks a bit old, but it has also witnessed the glory of Neon 20 or 30 years ago.
"I'd also like to find time to visit your country's attractions, so I'll get straight to the point."
Wang Yi acted very strong when he entered the scene, but as Umbrella was the daddy side, the stronger its performance was, the more likely it was to elicit a humble response from Japan.
"We at Umbrella want to buy all the information and production lines related to your company's lithography machines. You can also make some appropriate and reasonable requests for this. Of course, as a product that has been eliminated by the market, you should also be careful about the degree of your requests."
Wang Yi's words made President Ma Li's face look solemn. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke
"To be honest with you, Mr. Liu, although our technology has lagged behind in the short term, our foundation is still there. We are now working hard to master the immersion technology. Soon we will be able to produce a lithography machine that is better than ASML and has a higher resolution."
An expert who should be a technical backbone also added at this time
"Since you have come to us, you must know that the quality of our lithography machines is better than ASML's. We also have many advantages in technology accumulation. So as long as we can crack the immersion lithography technology, we can immediately re-occupy the market. If the price is high enough, we will certainly consider selling it, but we must not be underestimated."
After hearing this, Wang Yi nodded and threw out a USB flash drive.
"This is the latest intelligence we have obtained. You should know that we also have a security company."
Wang Yi's words made several people at the scene stunned for a moment, but they quickly played the contents on the USB flash drive, which contained the general principles and description of ASML's EUV lithography machine.
Including the principle that the light source is a carbon dioxide laser bombarding atomized tin metal droplets are marked out, and the extreme ultraviolet beam itself is also continuously reflected by the siliconized crystal, and finally converges to complete the wafer lithography.
The general principles and even the structure were explained. Although it was just a general introduction, it was enough to shock the top management of Connie.
"Impossible! How could it be possible!"
"They gave up all their previous advantages!"
"this……"
Neon people value the spirit of craftsmanship, and often like to follow routines.
In fact, TSMC approached them when it first proposed the immersion theory, but they were not interested!
That's why ASML had the opportunity to overtake.
As a result, now they have recovered and are about to overtake others relying on their previous accumulation, but their opponents simply open up another track!
The wavelength of the light source is compressed ten times!
this……
Even if they know it now, and even understand the principle, it is actually useless, because this is not something that can be made !
It involves precision and craftsmanship, which cannot be achieved overnight. Even if we give them a complete set of drawings now, it will take considerable energy and time to restore them.
"It's normal that you can't beat them. They used all the best technology in the world, and it would be difficult for you to catch up on your own."
Wang Yi stated calmly.
It can be said that the information he threw out now is a fatal blow to Connie!
When the parameters and related capabilities of the EUV lithography machine were revealed, Connie's spine was broken.
They are a commercial company that focuses on commercial profits. It is impossible for them to accept losses simply for the sake of producing the product.
Even if they master the technology, it will be meaningless for a commercial company like them if they can't sell the products. Once they weigh the pros and cons and find it's not cost-effective, they will give up.
They know that working overtime to develop a 157nm immersion lithography machine may give them a certain short-term advantage before EUV comes out, but facing the overwhelming performance gap of EUV lithography machines, they will have no chance once they come out.
Unless it’s a new track!
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Liu. We need to discuss something. If you are interested in the neon scenery, please go ahead. All expenses will be borne by our company, and Ito Yua will accompany you throughout the trip to meet all your needs."
"Of course."
Wang Yi stood up with a smile, and the sweet-looking and hot-bodied Ito Yua quickly followed.
Wang Yi certainly wouldn't refuse a gift that came right to his doorstep, without any responsibility, pity, or consideration for the other person's feelings...
…
Facts have proved that Neon's technology in domesticating and serving humans is indeed worthy of being nominated for World Heritage status, and Wang Yi is very satisfied.
After leaving the black-out Ito Yua in the room, he came to the neon night market by himself.
It has to be said that the izakaya culture in Neon is quite popular, and many company employees will gather here after get off work.
The girl handing out flyers on the street, the girls in sailor suits standing under the telephone poles, and the densely packed crowds all fully illustrate how busy and diverse this place is.
When the traffic light at a zebra crossing is turned green, it is like opening a gate. After all, the population density here is higher than in China.
Wang Yi also pressed the headset and asked
"What's going on?"
"The filming is done. The boss's performance is superb and brings glory to the country. This level of effort and facial expressions are unprecedented..."
Wang Yi couldn't help but sigh when he heard the artificial intelligence driving without saying anything.
"I'm talking about the foreign student with the yin-yang eyes."
"Oh, I've checked it out. It's probably true. She's at Tokyo Silver Star Language School, but she's rented a single apartment outside."
Hearing this, Wang Yi also nodded. Lin Shiqin was still very reliable when it was time to be reliable. She had even confirmed the accommodation.
"But I don't think the boss would like her. Although she looks good, her figure is super flat. My God, I have never seen a girl so flat. If I hadn't confirmed it again and again, I would have thought she was a boy."
"What kind of pervert am I in your eyes?"
"The kind that won't let go of any ghosts..."
