Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 869 As long as the mind does not slip

"Mr. Watts, please."

How Aimee Watts wishes now that there would be a crack in the ground, or become a transparent person, and no one would notice him.

However, beside the podium, the hateful young man stared at him without blinking.

You know, this guy is the focus of the audience now, and every move he makes involves the attention of the audience, so he stares straight like this, says this, and even gives up his position to give a speech and makes an invitation gesture.

Attracting the attention of everyone present, they all turned towards Watts.

God knows, he has never been so embarrassed in his life...

He looked to the left and right, hoping that his "teammates" could give him some help. However, those people avoided his gaze and glanced at the ceiling, the walls, and the corners...

'A bunch of unreliable guys, if it weren't for you, how could I have made things so big? ! '

Watts roared in his mind.

He stepped forward with feet that seemed to be filled with lead.

But his arm was grabbed tightly.

Next to him, several people from Ames Company looked at him with red faces.

"How about you go?!" Watts yelled in a deep voice.

The bet that day was witnessed by people from the scientific and technological circles present. If it is not fulfilled now, it will only make the situation worse.

The arms are released.

Watts walked a short distance of seven or eight meters for almost a minute.

One face was completely the color of pig liver.

call!
A heavy breath came from the microphone, Watts' mouth was still pursed, and it came from his two nostrils.

"I apologize for my behavior. I admit that you are the world's number one in the field of lithography machines."

Watts stuttered out this sentence with infinite frustration.

Even though this was already obvious, there was still an uproar in the auditorium.

Knowing some information subconsciously and experiencing it personally are completely different things.

Ames, which was previously recognized as the world's number one in terms of technology in the field of photolithography machines, has now publicly announced and acknowledged that another company is the world's number one.

This is a major event in this field that can shake the world.

Many foreign scientists present now truly realize that the country where this Chinese Silicon Valley company is located, this poor and backward country, has actually become the world leader in the field of lithography machines with such high technological content...

Trample them, their companies and institutions, and their country underfoot...

Somewhat stunned.

Somewhat unbelievable.

Somewhat unsatisfactory.

And deep in the heart that is not shown, there is a little respect.

For such a third world country, this is obviously not easy.

“Dear media reporters, shouldn’t we take some photos now?”

"Li, don't bully others too much!" Watts turned his head, his eyes about to burst.

"We came here specifically for their sake, don't we just want to get the final result? How can we deliver without bringing any materials back?"

"You are so considerate!"

Li Jiankun looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Watts, can't you afford to lose?"

"Humph!"

Watts walked away.

Several people from Ames Company had no shame in staying any longer, so they followed Watts and left the auditorium in a whoosh.

As for their "teammates", I don't know what they were thinking. Their faces were expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Still, the behavior exposed them.

People from the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries have withdrawn one after another.

On the contrary, people from small countries, or countries with weak technology in the field of lithography machines, flocked to the area where the organizers' personnel were and also on the stage, enthusiastically sending congratulations, with expressions on their faces. A little bit of flattery.

Because of what, it is not difficult to imagine.

"Mr. Li, we are interested in purchasing your company's fourth-generation lithography machine. I don't know..."

"Let's talk about this later."

Director Zhou from the Association for Science and Technology and Mr. Zhang from the Culture and Education Department came to Li Jiankun.

The two people's heartfelt joy and excitement could not be hidden at all.

"Well done Comrade Jiankun!"

"Fortunately, it fulfilled its mission."

"This time you have really made our scientific community and our country look bad."

"It should."

"Xiao Zhou, do I think we should give some recognition to Huaxia Silicon Valley Company, as well as Comrades Xiao Li and Chunxian?" Mr. Zhang asked with a smile.

"It's a must. High praise! Our scientific community hasn't been so proud in many years."

Director Zhou said with a sigh:

"There is no doubt that this year's Gold Medal for Scientific and Technological Progress goes to the fourth-generation lithography machine. Comrades Jiankun and Chunxian should also be commended personally."

Li Jiankun smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have to. If you must reward me, please bring all the R&D personnel of the fourth-generation lithography machine with you."

"Yes, yes, I lacked consideration." Director Zhou nodded. "However, you have to do it. Even Comrade Chunxian said that you are the chief designer of China Silicon Valley Company, and you should take the first credit."

Personally speaking, Li Jiankun follows the principle that "people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong."

However, remembering the agreement with Father Shen, he did not refuse.

I wonder if it can have a little effect this time?
This is his career after all.

……

...The Zhongguancun Science and Technology Building has been extremely lively these days.

A large group of well-known foreign scientists come to our door every day, and there are even staff from some countries’ embassies in our country.

These well-connected people come to visit diligently for one thing only——

Purchase a fourth-generation lithography machine.

They even want to import related technologies.

Chen Chunxian was very excited at first, but gradually, he was so excited that he had one head and two heads.

Even though he didn't know how to hide his clumsiness, he was unwilling to sell the technology he had worked so hard to convert into cash to others.

Now, he used urine to escape from the conference room, sneaked to Li Jiankun's office, slammed the door, and finally had a moment of leisure.

As for why these foreigners didn't find Li Jiankun.

Very simple.

He gave up his business and was not in the company at all. He was called over by Lao Chen half an hour ago.

"Look at you, you still have a sad face after doing such a good thing."

Li Jiankun moved his back away from the chair, took out a packet of Chinese seeds from the five-drawer table, and threw one to him:
"It's such a simple thing that you don't even have to worry about it at all.

"Oh, I'm a foreigner. I want to buy the fourth-generation lithography machine technology now. You Chen Chunxian can sell it if you say it, and I, Li Jiankun, can sell it if I say it?"

Eh?
Chen Chunxian's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh suddenly:
"Yes! Is this something we can decide? Just send them to the relevant departments and that's it. This kind of technology, which is regarded as an important weapon of the country, will definitely not be agreed to by the superiors, and it is impossible to export the core technology if they agree."

Li Jiankun spit out a mouthful of white mist and shrugged.

"Why don't you call your kid smart?"

Old Chen chuckled and asked:

"What about the export of lithography machines? We should have some say in this. Can anyone buy and sell?"

"Not just those who are hesitant to buy and sell, we also have to sell them." Li Jiankun said.

"Oh?"

Chen Chunxian doesn't particularly understand this. For example, for countries that already have third-generation lithography machine technology, if they purchase fourth-generation lithography machines based on their background, the difficulty of technological breakthroughs will be greatly reduced.

And some of these countries are not very friendly to us.

He knew that Jiankun was very patriotic and not someone who was short of money, so when weighing the two, he would most likely not choose money.

"Two reasons."

Li Jiankun raised two fingers:
"First, aren't you committed to promoting the diffusion of technology? Then let me ask you, in the field of commercial technology, such as the telecommunications industry, who sets the international standards?"

Chen Chunxian’s eyes were bright: “Several major international telecommunications giants.

"I understand, we have to seize the market! When most countries in the world are using our photolithography products, we are the giants in the industry and have the qualifications to formulate rules."

"Yes."

Li Jiankun smiled and nodded: "When doing scientific research, you always think about relying on technological blockade to prevent others from catching up with you. After all, you are just a little Doyle. What do you really want to do? Research and development, research and development, and research and development again, work hard to improve yourself, and be the best in the world. Others can catch up. The pace is motivation, not a bad thing.”

Lao Chen nodded frequently.

"Second, it is a very real issue. We are a technology company.

"Hide the things you make and don't sell them. Are you going to drink the northwest wind?"

Li Jiankun took a puff from his cigarette: "You know better than me how expensive the research and development of lithography machines is. How much have we invested now? It's hard to tell the outside world.

"If a company is not profitable for a long time and keeps doing this, who can withstand it?"

Old Chen smiled.

It's strange. For a long time, whenever I ran out of money, I would always reach out and ask Jiankun for something, and he never disappoints.

As a result, Lao Chen was a little paralyzed in his thinking and ignored the importance of profitability to the company to a certain extent.

At this time, I finally woke up and realized that Huaxia Silicon Valley Company is a private enterprise. Unlike government agencies, it is responsible for its own profits and losses and has to make money.

Research and development costs money, and the company still has so many mouths to feed.

"Actually, there is a third point, which is the fusion of the above two points."

Li Jiankun continued: "Lithography machines are different from other products. Few countries can manufacture all the required parts in a short time. When they are finished, we may have developed the fifth generation of technical public relations...

“We can make a lot of money by doing business with them.

“We can earn money not only from selling machines, but also from supplying spare parts, and from providing technical support. The wealth will be endless, as long as our technology remains ahead of theirs.

"At the same time, relevant countries or companies will become dependent on us, which is more conducive to us gaining the right to speak in this field and becoming the rule maker internationally."

Lao Chen's thoughts suddenly became clear:
"Sell! Sell hard!"

After a pause, he said again:
"But there is a problem now. We don't think we can make it because there are too many orders."

Li Jiankun followed the words and asked, "How many orders have you received?"

"More than a hundred!"

Be nice.

Li Jiankun took a sip of saliva.

You know, the fourth-generation lithography machine is expensive, with a starting price of one million yuan.

A small goal is in place.

This is just the money from selling the machine.

Subsequent supply of spare parts and technical support are equally expensive.

Looking around the world, how many companies are there these days that can earn hundreds of millions of dollars from one business?

Putting aside everything else, this deal is still doable.

“Buy land, expand factories, recruit people!
"With the spare parts supply unit, pay first, in US dollars! After all, we also earn US dollars. I'll see if they accept it or not.

"If we take advantage of our good reputation now, we will most likely have a green light all the way.

"Is there any reason why it can't be built?"
