The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 259 There is a problem
"Old Ni, what do you want from me?" When the National Finals of Warcraft 3 was about to be held, Huang He went to the network base in Cao County again and met his chief engineer, Mr. Ni.

"This is..." Ni Guangnan saw the woman behind Huang He.

"Hu Jing, my new secretary!" Huang He explained.

"Xiao Huang, you are good in everything, but one thing is not good!" Ni Guangnan sighed, then shook his head and said, "It's because there are too many women around you?"

"..." Hu Jing, who was behind her, blushed on the spot, while Huang He smiled awkwardly, "Old Ni, you misunderstood, she is my secretary, not a woman."

"Do you think I'm a fool? You can bear such a pretty girl as your secretary? Why don't you choose a man to be your secretary? According to my many years of experience, male secretaries are actually better than female secretaries. The ability is much stronger!" Ni Guangnan continued, Huang He was even more embarrassed, and Hu Jing simply said sorry, and left with the excuse of going to the toilet.

"Teacher, you seem to have scared this little girl away!" Huang He smiled wryly.

"Eh... I really shouldn't have said these things in front of her. When she comes later, I will apologize to her!" Ni Guangnan sighed again, "Xiao Huang, there are countless things like this around me. I have never persuaded them. But for you, I have to persuade you!"

"Beautiful women are indeed irresistible, and your identity is destined to have countless beautiful women around you, but you have to understand that the more high-ranking people are, the more dangerous women are."

"First of all, let's not talk about the physical impact. The most important thing is that they will become a knife that will kill you at critical times." Ni Guangnan said.

"Teacher, Hu Jing is not like that anymore! I have investigated their backgrounds, they are very safe!" Huang He said.

"What I'm saying is not that they will betray you, but that they will become a knife in the hands of your enemies. In the future, even if they take a photo of you holding hands, you will immediately become a target of public criticism. All images will collapse in an instant, and even the entire Jiangnan Group will collapse completely because of just one photo, do you believe it?" Ni Guangnan asked.

"This..." Huang He scratched his head. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was a fact. The simplest thing was the entertainment industry in the past. In less than half a year, how many so-called big stars, Because of the woman's problem, not to mention her acting career was ruined, she was even sent to jail.

"So Xiao Huang, let me remind you, you have to respect yourself, or don't give anyone a chance, the bigger our Jiangnan Group develops, the more enemies you will have, and anything you do will become a target for enemies to attack you weapons, and women are the best weapons!"

"I really don't want to say these things to you, and this is not what I should say as a person who engages in chips. But now my last dream in life is all pinned on you, Jiangnan Group, and I don't want you to die, because then I My dream is over." Ni Guangnan said sincerely.

"The teacher is right, I will definitely keep it." Huang He said sincerely.

"Listen to my advice, find a good woman to marry as soon as possible, stabilize the family, and have a few more children, so that you will not make mistakes easily!" Ni Guangnan thought of something when he said this, and then said, "I remember, last time The one named Zhou Zhiruo seems to be your girlfriend!"

"No, her name is Leng Zhiruo, not Zhou Zhiruo!" Huang He smiled wryly.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I also liked watching Jin Yong very much back then!" Ni Guangnan laughed and said, "I have met that little girl before, she is a very generous girl, you marry her, it is an excellent match, she will help Take your career to the next level."

"Yes, teacher, in fact, Zhiruo and I have already reached the point where we are discussing marriage, and we will get married in less than a year or two!" Huang He said.

"That's good, stabilize yourself early, she's a good girl!" Ni Guangnan praised again, and then said, "By the way, where is she now? Why didn't she come with you?"

"Oh, she went to France, she just left this morning!" Huang He said.

"Go to France?" Ni Guangnan was taken aback for a moment, "I remember you just came back from America? Why did you go abroad again?"

"Some things have changed. I have to go to France. Originally, I went with her this morning, but you gave me a call and asked me to come to see you today. I let her go to France first. I Go there tomorrow!" Huang He smiled wryly.

"So, I'm bothering you two!" Ni Guangnan was a little embarrassed, "But, you have to help us figure out a solution for this matter, otherwise, although your server production base has almost been built, it will not be able to start work at all. "

"Is there something wrong with the chip?" Huang He asked curiously. Before Ni Guangnan didn't make it clear on the phone, he said it was a problem with the chip.

At the same time, after officially hearing the word chip, Huang He hurried over. The chip was always placed in the most important position in Huang He's heart, and there must be no mistakes.

"There is nothing wrong with the chip, the problem is that we can't buy a lithography machine!" Ni Guangnan said here, his face was full of haze.

"Can't buy a lithography machine? No way, I remember that our demand is only for a 200-nanometer lithography machine. Such a lithography machine is at the terminal level in the market, and it is not within the limit. As long as you are willing to spend money , there should be no reason why you can't buy it!" Huang He asked in surprise.

As a server manufacturer, chips are a problem that must be solved.

There are two ways to source chips, one is self-developed, and the other is to buy chips produced by others.

When Huang He established this server factory, there was only one real goal, and that was to let China’s chip industry start to develop 2002 years ahead of schedule from 10. Therefore, at the beginning, Huang He determined the path of self-developed chips That's why Ni Guangnan was attracted by Huang He.

Now the self-developed chip project is going smoothly. Ni Guangnan has designed a complete set of chips for Jiangnan's own server. The next thing he needs is to produce chips by himself, and the most important equipment for producing chips is Lithography.

Because the Paris Agreement was considered in advance, and because of the limitation of research and development capabilities, the self-developed chips this time were designed based on the production level of 200nm lithography machines.

Because lithography machines above 200 nanometers are within the scope of restricted sales, if Huang He is willing to pay, he can still buy them in the international market.

But I never expected that there was a problem in the link of purchasing a lithography machine.

"Actually, we have already negotiated with ASML in the Netherlands. The other party sold us 1000 10-nanometer lithography machines at a price of 200 million US dollars."

"But when they were about to sign the contract, ASML suddenly backtracked, saying that their capabilities were not enough, and if they insisted on buying, the delivery time would be delayed until around 05!" Ni Guangnan sighed.

"In 05? The day lily is cold!" Huang He's expression turned livid in an instant. It was originally agreed that 03 lithography machines would be delivered before June 6, but now it has been delayed for two months. In a few years, all plans will be disrupted.

More importantly, the price of a lithography machine is one year. When the 200nm lithography machine first came out, the value was as high as 8 million US dollars.

As a result, more than 10 years have passed, and now it only costs 1 million U.S. dollars. If two years pass, the price may be cut in half.

Because if Huang He remembered correctly, 04 was the year when the entire lithography machine developed dramatically. In that year, the prices of all traditional lithography machines would be cut in half.

"Have you figured out the reason? Let Asmail do such a thing?" Huang He asked.

"I have already reported this matter to the higher authorities, and they told me that there seems to be a shadow of TSMC in Wanwan here!" Ni Guangnan said in a low voice, "Five days before we signed the contract, suddenly there was a group of people over there. People contacted ASML, and then their attitude towards us was completely different. Although I don’t know what this group of people are here for, nor what they talked about, but according to analysis, it is because of this group of TSMC Because of this, the cooperation between us has changed.”

At this time, the research project of Jiangnan Optoelectronics has already been registered at the national level and has received comprehensive support, so it is very normal to have some special sources of information.

"TSMC?" Huang He frowned. "Could it be that TSMC heard the news in advance and wanted to suppress our competitor, so they tried to make ASML delay our delivery time?"

If this is the case, then things will be very difficult. With TSMC's capabilities in the entire industry, Jiangnan Optoelectronics will live a very painful life for some time in the future.

"It should be impossible. First of all, our project is absolutely confidential. Even the industrial and commercial department does not have any registration. At the same time, the entire base is strictly guarded. Few people in China know that we are working on chips. Now everyone should focus on Those in Hanxin will not notice us."

"Secondly, it is impossible for ASML to do such a thing. It is impossible for a normal company to suppress another small buyer because of the request of a big buyer. Otherwise, wait until the big buyer kills all If he is a small seller, he will become the only buyer, and the whole market will become a buyer's market. As long as he is in his right mind, he will not do such a thing, unless there is something wrong with him. In the hands of the other party, Asmail had to change his mind!" Ni Guangnan said, but he couldn't see that Mr. Ni was quite business-minded and able to analyze these things.

"Do you have any more information about this TSMC delegation?" Huang He asked.

"There is no more information. I only know that the head of the delegation is the deputy chief engineer of TSMC. The whole team seems to be a technical team, not like an administrative or business team. This is my judgment that TSMC did not give The reason why ASML exerted pressure is because it is hard for me to believe that a technical team would be responsible for such a thing!" Ni Guangnan said.

"Is there a roster for this team?"

"Yes!" Ni Guangnan handed the list to Huang He, and Huang He found an extremely inconspicuous name in the list at a glance.

"Lin Benjian?" Huang He licked his lips, then smiled wryly, "I probably guessed the reason."
