Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 871 Blacklist

In the courtyard of the Association for Science and Technology, a meeting was being held.

Li Jiankun was invited.

Since foreign countries began to impose a large-scale embargo on our chip field, the Association for Science and Technology has been under great pressure. It is against this background that this meeting was born.

There is no doubt that Li Jiankun's trip south has been postponed.

He is not here to relieve the pressure on the Association for Science and Technology.

There is now a very bad argument in society. He and Chen Chunxian, including China Silicon Valley Company, went from being proud of the people half a month ago to suddenly being guilty in the eyes of some people.

And reputation damage is secondary.

Some people even strongly suggested that China Silicon Valley companies should stop the research and development of photolithography machines.

This forced Li Jiankun to take the initiative and kill him without leaving any trace behind.

"Why must we develop photolithography machines? To put it bluntly, photolithography machines are just a tool for manufacturing chips. The tools can be purchased. Not to mention that if the top foreign photolithography machines are not sold to us, we will not need them."

"I agree. In terms of the entire chip field, it doesn't matter whether we have our own lithography machine. But the current situation is that in order to develop lithography machines, we have lost the import channels for the entire chip field. Typical Penny wise and pound-foolish."

"I won't talk about anything else. We want to complete Project 107. Now the chip materials cannot be imported. Tell me, what should we do? The construction period cannot be completed on time. Who will bear this responsibility?!"

History is always strikingly similar.

In the previous life in the 1980s, our lithography machine technology was clearly in the second echelon in the world, only about five years behind the world leader, but it was far behind us. What is the reason?

The mystery seems to be slowly being revealed.

Facing the quarrel, Li Jiankun stared at the indignant people around the conference table.

They come from many systems.

Some people don't have a big picture view.

It’s hard to say whether some people have ulterior motives or are instigated by someone behind their backs.

There are also some people who are seeking peace.

"Comrade Jiankun, Comrade Chunxian, I'm not talking about you. Even if we want to develop lithography machines and achieve any results, can't we hide it? The Association for Science and Technology is also responsible. You, you, are making too much noise. Yes, this is a public slap in the face of those technologically powerful countries. It’s the devil if they don’t fight back.”

"Let me make a suggestion. At least on the surface, we should publicize that we will no longer conduct photolithography machine research and development to see if we can ease the situation. Otherwise, chip raw materials are out of stock and many key engineering projects cannot be carried out. How can we do this?"

"After the last event held by the Association for Science and Technology, 'Chinese Silicon Valley' has been pushed to the forefront. If we want to ease the situation, I am afraid that this company...can no longer exist."

Swish!
Old Chen suppressed his blush and stood up, wanting to argue.

However, Li Jiankun pulled him back to his seat.

He is not very sharp with his words.

"I have listened carefully to everyone's thoughts. In the final analysis, there are actually two questions."

Li Jiankun had no expression on his face and said unhurriedly:

“First, some people simply don’t understand the significance of developing lithography machines.

"Second, in the face of the embargo, what should we do next when we have a large-scale shortage in the chip field, especially raw materials."

Some people in the conference room agreed with his summary, while others expressed disdain.

That look seems to be saying: Do you understand?
Li Jiankun continued:
"Someone just mentioned that the photolithography machine is just a tool for chip manufacturing. This is not wrong. However, I would like to ask this comrade, haven't you heard of the principle that 'if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools' ?
"We can purchase it. Even if someone doesn't sell us the best lithography machine, it doesn't matter. The inferior one will be enough... Is this what people say?"

Snapped!
The person who made this statement slapped the table and stood up, glaring at each other: "How did you say that?"

"I have something even worse."

Li Jiankun glanced at him, no matter what level the other party was, today he was going to defy the sky and the earth - anyone who could come here actively would not be a good bird for the development of lithography machines:
"According to what you mean, can I understand it this way: we develop a yarn, revive a ghost, and pick up the leftovers of others..."

The guy who had been looking angry just now had sweat on his forehead: "I, I, I... you, you, don't blame me randomly, I didn't say that other fields will not develop..."

"That's what you mean."

Li Jiankun's sharp eyes pierced over: "Your mentality is already there. You are content to be inferior to others, do not want to make progress, and resist hard work..."

Cengceng!

Snapped!
The other party stumbled and fell down on the chair.

Sweat was pouring down from my forehead, my head was drooped, I didn't dare to say a word anymore, I was wailing in my heart, begging to be let go.

Li Jiankun did not rush to kill them all. He glanced at the other people in the conference room, and many people avoided his sight.

This hat is quite big.

No one dares to wear it.

"Everyone knows that chips are important, but it is difficult to understand why chip manufacturing tools are important. This is really a joke. Food is very important. What if there is no sickle or plow? They are also tools for food production.

“Only rely on foreign imports?
“What if someone wants to attack us one day and won’t let us import even a grain of rice?

“Are we, hundreds of millions of people, waiting to starve to death?
"If you know the importance of chips, you will know that I am not exaggerating. Any high-tech field is inseparable from chips, and this will become more and more true as it develops.

“If we don’t take the manufacturing of such important tools into our own hands, we will always be controlled by others, and our high technology will never be able to surpass others.

"Don't forget what the Western powers used to open our country. Will the same mistake be made again?"

Li Jiankun paused and suddenly raised his voice: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten!
“This is what Stalin said and comrades on the faculty have also quoted it.

"Some people didn't listen at all..."

The person who fell on the chair before now just wants to get under the table and escape quietly. The conference room became silent, and those participants who had spoken righteously and with anger in their words suddenly became silent.

Lao Chen thought to himself, when it comes to quarrels, I only obey Jiankun.

He's not making any noise.

Look, these guys are so scared that they dare not give a shit.

After a long time, finally someone with an open mind, just because he was burdened with a key project task, sighed and said:
"Comrade Jiankun, what you said makes sense. The problem is that without access to materials for manufacturing chips, the national defense engineering projects we are responsible for cannot be completed on time. There are many similar projects. How should we solve this difficulty before us? ?”

"I was just going to ask your second question."

Li Jiankun nodded slightly to him:
"Some people here know that the Huadian joint venture has long started construction in the special zone to build a chip industrial park. At present, the main projects are basically completed.

“During this period, the company has been recruiting people, and some departments of the first research institute to be completed have been running for more than half a year.

“At the same time, after the embargo on photolithography machines was lifted, the company also purchased a large amount of R&D and production equipment.

"In addition, Huadian's parent company is owned by a patriotic businessman. The company has considerable strength in the port city. Since we have established this industrial park with the special zone, we will definitely fully support the development of the industrial park."

He paused, scanned the audience, and continued:

"Huadian now has talents in the entire chip industry chain. Although there are not many at the moment, a chip can be obtained from research and development to offline. If your unit needs it, we can provide technical support..."

After hearing this, many people in the meeting had bright eyes.

"That's great!"

"No wonder Comrade Jiankun looks as stable as Mount Tai. It turns out that he has enough food at home and is not worried, haha..."

“Huadian’s heritage is so profound.”

"It is necessary to visit the Special Administrative Region."

"Where are the materials?"

Someone asked: "The technology is okay. The chips we need now can basically be obtained by ourselves technically. The key is the materials. It is difficult for a skilled woman to make a meal without rice."

"Huadian Industrial Park has the ability to produce some." Li Jiankun replied.

"Some?"

"Development has to go through a process, and the industrial park is not yet fully operational. Since the United States and Japan can monopolize many materials, technology public relations is certainly not that simple."

In fact, there are two countries.

They monopolize most of the core materials for chip manufacturing.

Seeing this reply, the person who asked the question was not satisfied. Li Jiankun looked at him deeply:
“If your organization only needs a small amount of raw materials for construction projects, it may not be impossible to find a way to solve it.

"We should respond to emergencies first and give the Huadian Chip Industrial Park in the Special Economic Zone some time to develop. Creating the entire chip industry chain is the original intention and goal of building this project."

The person who asked the question said: "Can your Huadian Company..."

"Anything we can do to help, we're happy to help."

"That's good!"

……

……

After the meeting, Director Zhou of the Association for Science and Technology stayed with Li Jiankun, holding hands tightly and thanking him for a long time.

Although Li Jiankun's main purpose was to come to China Silicon Valley Company, his actual behavior also relieved a lot of pressure on the Association for Science and Technology.

Director Zhou has even learned Li Jiankun's talking skills quietly, and he will do the same to anyone who tries to push the Association for Science and Technology again!
Let’s see if they dare to accept that hat.

Li Jiankun and Chen Chunxian had just returned to the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Building. The staff reported that they had received a call from the Special Administrative Region, asking him to call him back as soon as possible.

After Li Jiankun came to the office, he dialed the number of Huadian Company in the special zone.

"Boss, something big happened!"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xinjia's tone was serious and heavy.

Grandma is a leggy person, here we go again... Li Jiankun raised his eyebrows and said, "Say!"

"Huadian Company has been blacklisted. Like the previous chip manufacturing plant of Baotong, we can no longer buy production materials, and our suppliers are out of stock at the same time. We are obviously being targeted!"

An accident, but not an accident.

I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

Li Jiankun, who lived into the 2020s in his previous life, is no longer surprised by this kind of thing.

In fact, when we decided to announce the news that we had developed a fourth-generation lithography machine, Li Jiankun was already somewhat prepared.

Now it's really here.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to suddenly crack, and an extremely bumpy road lay ahead.

However, the path was chosen by oneself, and there is no one to blame.

What is supposed to come will come.

As long as he wants to do something, as long as he wants to do something for the motherland while he is rich and free in this life, as long as he doesn't want to see others choke us in the chip field in the future.

There is no way to avoid it.
