Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1995: Ten Years of Efforts, One Day of Revenge

"Your lithography machines have had several problems in the past few years, and your attitude has always been very arrogant. If we start smashing the equipment this time, then we will make all these maintenance records and various chat records public."

"Mr. Ji said that if you insist on doing it, you will bear the consequences. We are just notifying you. Let me tell you again, we have decided to make the chips, but we will no longer use your lithography machines, and the Chinese will not use your junk anymore, unless they don't want to do business with you in the future."

Feng Chunbao is now much more assertive when talking to Tamos. In recent years, the chip printer technology has been limited by energy consumption issues. Overall, it can be on par with lithography machines in the initial stage.

In that case, according to the financial planner's assessment, there is no point in making this printer.

In recent years, Feng Chunbao has led the entire team to work on reducing energy consumption, and recently they have finally achieved a breakthrough. Now the power consumption of the chip printer is only half of that of the lithography production line. Remember, it is the production line, not a single lithography machine.

"Anger can't change the outcome. Let me tell you, Mr. Ji, you'd better be nice when you come to our side to respond to the lawsuit. Otherwise, we will just send you to Nevada to plant trees. Haha..."

The representative of the lithography machine was very arrogant and left almost no room for negotiation when speaking, which made Feng Chunbao so angry that he directly slammed the phone.

The satellite was also in need of a large number of high-quality chips at the moment, so Feng Chunbao did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and his subordinates urgently purchased them from the market.

Facts have proved that Micron and this lithography machine manufacturer have a very strong influence in China. Almost all domestic suppliers of low-end chips have politely rejected Feng Chunbao's purchase application for fear of angering their foreign friends.

This is not the most disgusting thing. While locking the machines, this lithography machine manufacturer sent a notice to more than 500 Chinese manufacturers who needed chips, saying that it had locked the lithography machines manufactured by Yiyuan Zhizao.

We hope that all parties will purchase the chips that Yiyuan Zhizao sells again with caution, or re-inspect all of them. The other party will no longer bear any quality assurance responsibility for the chips produced by Yiyuan Zhizao.

"Boss Ji, we have also received a notice advising us not to purchase your chips, claiming that your chips will be sourced from outside from now on. It is easy for us to be fooled!"

Huawei also received the notice this time, and the other party’s purchasing department contacted Ji Donglai immediately.

As a strategic cooperation, Ji Donglai opened a direct channel for the other party.

"Don't worry, we only use them to produce simple batches of chips. Your mobile phones and other high-tech products are not on this production line. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will replace all the equipment on all production lines and no longer use lithography machines!"

"We have stockpiled some chips in the early stage, just in case this situation happens. Don't worry. Yiyuan Zhizao has already made sufficient preparations for any situation today. Thank you!"

Faced with customers' questions, Ji Donglai remained calm.

He has worked hard for more than ten years just to be able to hold his head high at this moment, so Ji Donglai will not give any face to Micron or any other company now.

The operators are fed up with the constant stream of calls, all with almost the same content.

Even after continuous explanations from Ji Donglai and others, the market's confidence in Yiyuan Zhizao was still hit, and the stock price began to fluctuate violently. Fortunately, Zhao Shuying stabilized it.

"I didn't expect that what you said would come true. Aren't these people worried that their arrogance will backfire?"

Ji Donglai spent the entire first month of the year dealing with work, and the time he spent with his family did not exceed three hours a day. Qiu Haitang was also always keeping an eye on Ji Donglai's movements.

"Chips are only part of it. You know that Yiyuan Zhizao has hardly made any money in recent years, right?"

After turning off the computer, Ji Donglai poured Qiu Haitang a glass of water and picked up the frozen pear. Qiu Haitang nodded. "Next, not only chips, industrial software, computer systems, but even the simplest chemical raw materials we use will be put on the entity sanctions list. The other party will ban sales to us."

"At present, all of Yiyuan Zhizao's office software has switched to WPS, and Kingsoft's software has replaced Microsoft. As for financial management software, all of them use UFIDA."

"For industrial computing software, our Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing R&D Center has successfully developed several replacements in recent years. They have now replaced products from European and American countries, including Dassault's 2D and 3D software and Siemens's. We will also replace all the simplest Minitabs."

"Ten years ago, when we were most profitable, I invested 50% of the company's revenue into these basic research and development. Several senior executives of the company didn't understand it at the time, but now they will gradually realize that the initial investment was worthwhile."

Speaking of the company's unremitting investment over the years, Ji Donglai is still very pleased.

In addition to Feng Chunbao and his team, the efforts made by another group of software talents who have been diligently engaged in basic research over the years should not be underestimated. It took one team nearly ten years just to develop an EDA alternative.

Fortunately, the chip printer is our own product, and with the basic principles and mutual verification, the architecture was set up very smoothly and was initially accepted two years ago.

The company’s software design department now uses its own EDA framework.

As for industrial software, it is especially related to the design of drones and rockets, the calculation of various fluid models, and the accumulation of various data.

Ji Donglai's team made full use of the team's accumulated experience in big data basic models and developed several industrial software that can rival Dassault and other companies. Currently, this software is used in the entire Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing system.

This is especially true for analytical software. In the past, the entire company used ANSYS. In the past year, the company has completed the replacement and upgrade of all of them.

Since the establishment of the company, Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing Design Center and Technology Center have accumulated at least 30 million industrial models. Through self-learning, these software can not only achieve software replacement, but more importantly, they can perform self-repair and design.

It was precisely because of this accumulation that Ji Donglai was not at all anxious when facing foreign blockades.

"To carry on the lost knowledge of the past and to bring peace to the world for eternity, I used to think you were bragging, but now it seems that you are not bragging. If there is anything else I don't know, please tell us quickly so that our son can know..."

With her head resting on Ji Donglai's chest, Qiu Haitang felt very at ease.

In fact, Mr. Qiu and Qiu Yuzheng don't like Ji Donglai's character from the bottom of their hearts. On the one hand, Ji Donglai is a playboy and has children with several women, but he doesn't give them any legal status.

In addition, in the eyes of several people, Ji Donglai is still a businessman after all, and profit-seeking is his nature.

In the eyes of several people, Ji Donglai married Qiu Haitang just for status and to provide a protective umbrella.

Now Qiu Haitang realized that Ji Donglai did not need an umbrella at all, he was the umbrella holder himself. Apart from anything else, if these bottleneck industrial software were directly thrown into the market, the country would naturally give Ji Donglai all-round protection.

Not to mention that Ji Donglai has now developed a new technology that can completely replace photolithography machines. This has broken the industry monopoly and will allow the Chinese to go down in history.

"I'm worried about so much before the baby is born. It's really troublesome. Business matters depend on the results. I won't know until the results come out. Now the conditions I offer to the R&D center are very relaxed."
