It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 448 Lin Jia: This is just a small scene (6K)

The outside world knows Lin Jia much better than Chen Yuanguang because Lin Jia appears in public much more often.

Various product launches, social media account operations, external interviews, etc., plus her family information was exposed by the trolls on Weibo and Douban.

So when the Chinese people in the audience heard Lin Jia's opening remarks through the simultaneous AI translation headphones, those who knew Lin Jia all smiled knowingly, thinking that this was indeed Lin Jia's style.

On Jianzhong social media, whether you like Lin Jia or not, you cannot deny one thing, that is, Lin Jia is a very versatile person and will never make mistakes.

The counterattack against black fans is through showing personal life. Don’t you see that internet celebrities who are far inferior to Lin Jia dare to directly record videos to carry out indiscriminate attacks, and any big V dares to hang up ordinary people on Weibo and even mention other people’s personal information.

Compared with this group of people, Lin Jia's quality is much higher.

When speaking in formal occasions, not only will he not make mistakes, but he will also be in line with the principles advocated by Yanjing.

This opening statement was no exception.

"Boss Lin, what you said is absolutely perfect. It clearly advocates that the current economic and trade should still follow the path of globalization. I, a Chinese, can use English to help German companies stand up in Korea."

In the past, the great powers called for trade liberalization and the United States called for economic globalization. Now, it is the turn of developed countries to advocate giving priority to domestic enterprises and developing local industries. The situation has changed in just a few decades.

"Not only that, you have to add France. The joke that Mr. Lin played is derived from the famous saying of French Emperor Napoleon: A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier." The blogger sitting next to him added.

After the audience finished their polite applause, Lin Jia continued, "Since Guangjia Aerospace decided to build cars, Volkswagen has been one of our core partners. I have a deep affection for the Volkswagen Group. The first car in my family was a Volkswagen Santana, which is the memory of a generation of Chinese people.

In recent years, Volkswagen has made rapid progress in the field of automotive intelligence."

In addition to the officials from the south, officials from the north also came to the scene.

The unification of the North and the South is still under discussion, but the economy can take precedence.

The North, where nuclear weapons were destroyed, must gain some benefits no matter what.

Kim Young-gil was the director of the investment promotion office who was sent to Seoul. He had great power but a low rank.

The power is great because you want to do things, and the position is low because they are afraid that you have other intentions.

You would think that with so much power, your rank will catch up sooner or later. As long as I sit in this position and wait for my rank to be improved, my position will naturally rise. Of course, the prerequisite for staying in this position is to do things well.

This setting is like hanging a carrot in front of you, so that you are motivated enough.

This is also the traditional way of controlling subordinates in Confucian culture.

"Who is this?" Jin Yongji asked his subordinates in a low voice.

Those who can be sent to Seoul at this point in time must not only be core confidants, but also have to have sufficient capabilities.

Because you have to do something and attract enough investment to the north.

The North needs massive investment to boost confidence, stabilize the situation, and improve the quality of life for residents.

"The wife of Chen Yuanguang, the president of Guangjia Aerospace and the number one figure in China's science and technology field." The subordinate said that he had made advance preparations for each guest of the press conference according to their importance.

Lin Jia’s importance in this list is definitely at the top, and we have sufficient knowledge about it in advance.

"Is it possible for us to cooperate with Guangjia Aerospace? Purchase their rocket technology?" Jin Yongji asked.

Sometimes the economy is not the only way to boost confidence, aerospace is also a good means.

If North Korea can become the fourth country to possess reusable rocket technology after America, China and France, I believe it will be a great help to morale.

Moreover, they also heard in Seoul that the South might cooperate with Guangjia Aerospace. If they obtained the technology from the South, even if they succeeded, the inspiring effect of the publicity would be extremely limited.

"We can talk. France has purchased their related technology, but the question is, can we offer chips that can impress them?
According to public information, France purchased the Pioneer series rocket technology owned by Guangjia Aerospace by using engine technology plus cash plus space station orders. Even without including the technology, the sum of the latter two alone is at least tens of billions of dollars.

The cost is unacceptable to us.”

The annual GDP in the North is only around 100-200 billion US dollars, and the ratio of fiscal revenue to GDP generally fluctuates around 15%.

For the North, 100 billion US dollars is their fiscal revenue for ten years, which is simply an unbearable burden.

"**" Jin Yongji gritted his teeth and could only suppress the thought.

Of course not fully pressed.

"In the future, Space will be renamed Light Armor Auto, and the new generation of Audi models above A6L will have a half-size logo of Light Armor Aerospace on the side."

The Chinese audience in the audience was the first to applaud, followed by a round of applause.

Most of the Chinese audience were car reviewers. They had participated in the evaluation activities organized by Guangjia Aerospace and knew that Guangjia Aerospace was hesitant about whether to change its name. Chen Zhen and Han Lu even quarreled over this issue on the spot.

Everyone knows that the top management of Space, to put it bluntly, is mainly Lin Jia, who is worried that their first car, named after Light Armor, will not be able to meet user expectations, which will in turn affect the reputation of the entire brand.

The fact that the car reviewers were arguing at the time showed that they did not fully approve of Space's verification model. Now that Lin Jia has announced the name change of Space in such a formal occasion, it proves that there is a better solution within Guangjia Automobile.

It is easy to imagine such a logical relationship. Car reviewers are looking forward to what kind of surprises the light armor car can bring to everyone, so they applaud collectively.

The twists and turns involved were beyond the understanding of the other foreign guests; all they could do was applaud.

"Volkswagen's sales are a bit too thorough," lamented a Chinese car reviewer.

Feifei, who was sitting next to him, heard this and asked, "Why do you say that?"

“Think about it, the price of Audi A6L is between 40 and 60 yuan. Cars at this price only carry half of the Guangjia Aerospace logo. So isn’t it reasonable for Guangjia Automobile to sell for twice that much?

This is equivalent to Volkswagen using its own Audi to secretly support the light armor car.

Volkswagen has done a very respectful thing in this matter.”

Feifei said: "This is also good for them, right? After all, Chinese consumers have a very high recognition of the Light Armor brand.

To this day, Huawei has not displayed its logo in various circles. Consumers have been calling for it, but Huawei has not taken any action.

As a tech giant, the logo of Guangjia Aerospace should be a great help to Audi’s brand.”

The other party said: "You are half right. This is certainly effective in China, but the logo of Guangjia Aerospace may not work well abroad, especially after the nuclear bomb changed its trajectory. Guangjia Aerospace's reputation is no different from that of the Nazis.

With the two factors offsetting each other, I feel the positive impact is limited.

To have a relatively large positive effect, Guangjia Automobile needs to gain a firm foothold in the pricing range of more than 100 million yuan and gain recognition from consumers. Then it will drive Audi to gain a firm foothold in the price range of around 50 yuan.

To reap the benefits of this wave of dividends, it essentially depends on how good the first car of Guangjia Automobile is. "

Guangjia Aerospace has a bad reputation abroad. This is what the older Chinese people subconsciously think after reading the simplified Chinese version of the news.

After all, mainstream media such as The Times, Reuters, and Bloomberg have been criticizing and stigmatizing light armor aerospace every now and then.

Chinese media then chew up these contents, convert them into Chinese and input them into the simplified Chinese Internet.

However, in reality, the quality of this reputation should be viewed from two aspects.

On the one hand, everyone does have a negative view of Guangjia Aerospace, believing that it is a military trafficker with unclear relations with China's violent organizations, and that it is a huge threat to Europe and the United States, seriously affecting the original international order.

But on the other hand, foreigners' admiration for strong brands is only strong, and not weak. Before making the final decision, Audi Group conducted sufficient market research in major regions such as Germany, America, and China. Even if the Chinese market is left out, in other markets, if the new Audi is equipped with the Guangma Aerospace logo, the purchasing intention will increase by 13 percentage points.

It is precisely because of such business survey results that they made up their minds to collaborate with Guangjia Aerospace on the new Audi, and would rather use their own luxury car brand as a price anchor for Guangjia Automobile.

Lin Jia spoke for a very short time on the stage, only about twenty minutes, and mainly talked about three things. One was that Guangjia Aerospace and Volkswagen have a very good cooperation. We are Volkswagen's core partner in intelligentization, and the two sides have extensive cooperation in intelligent driving, driving robots, and automobile manufacturing.

The second is the Audi logo with light armor and aerospace, and the third is the name change to Space.

After the three things were explained, it was the turn of the Audi president to introduce the specific products.

The new Audi and HBM robots to be released are the highlights of today.

After returning to his seat, Wen Zhengren next to him applauded and said, "Mr. Lin, what you said was wonderful."

There is no Korean accent in Wen Zhengren's Chinese. In some sense, he is no less skilled than the people from Northeast China.

"Thank you."

After a brief silence, Wen Zhengren continued, "Mr. Lin, is there any chance for Korea's automobile industry, semiconductor industry, photovoltaic industry, aerospace industry, etc. to have in-depth, close and extensive cooperation with the Light Armor Group companies?"

Wen Zhengren's wording was very precise: light armor series, not light armor aerospace.

This is because many of the industries he mentioned are not managed by Guangjia Aerospace, but by Frontier Technology.

Frontier Technology is a state-owned enterprise directly under the Chinese government established to specifically manage the implementation of light armor aerospace derivative technologies. The rank of its chairman is deputy minister of the central government. In terms of importance, it is no less than the two oil companies. In terms of confidentiality, it is second to none among all state-owned enterprises.

Because the technologies managed by Frontier Technology include topological semimetals, room-temperature superconductors, and photolithography plants, the level of confidentiality was raised to a higher level after America attempted to infiltrate it.

Frontier Technology recruits employees almost exclusively through campus recruitment or internal transfers. During campus recruitment, the company is not advertised, but it is said that we are a central enterprise. The company does not mention the salary, but only says that the salary will definitely not be bad. It also warns that after working for at least five years, you can leave, but there will be a desensitization period of at least one year.

When recruiting on campus at the beginning, the old high school students didn’t understand the situation and recruited some good talents, but it became difficult to recruit people later. Although the things made by cutting-edge technology are very promising and sound very attractive, the degree of opacity is too high.

All the masters and doctoral students from Peking University, Tsinghua University and the top five universities in China are reluctant to open this blind box. Wouldn't it be better to go to a big company?
Faced with such difficulties, cutting-edge technology has been criticized within the state-owned enterprise system, meaning that cutting-edge technology should reduce its level of confidentiality.

This is the dilemma facing this type of enterprise. If you pursue a certain degree of confidentiality, your marketization level and competitiveness cannot be guaranteed.

Fortunately, the work done by cutting-edge technology is inherently monopolistic in nature and does not require market competition for the time being.

Precisely because the confidentiality level is so high, the outside world generally does not regard Frontier Technology as a Light Armor enterprise, even though Light Armor Aerospace holds a 49% stake in Frontier Technology.

But some people are well aware of the twists and turns involved, and Moon Jeong-in is one of those people.

Neon can cooperate with China and reap the benefits of the transformation of semiconductor technology routes, so why can't Korea?
In the past, Japan had advantages, but now Goryeo also has an advantage that Japan does not have, that is, the relationship between Goryeo and China is much closer than that between Japan.

China can have a base and manpower in Seoul, but does it have one in Tokyo?

In this case, Goryeo naturally wanted to snatch the cake that was originally given to Japan.

"I think we have a solid foundation for cooperation, and the optical armor companies are also happy to cooperate with Goryeo. In my opinion, we can definitely talk," said Lin Jia.

This was also something she had expected before she came.

Korea and China have faced the same situation, that is, the supply of photoresist materials has been stopped.

As mentioned earlier, in the past Dow Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical were the only two manufacturers that could provide photoresists used in topological semimetals, and they once stopped supplying photoresists to China.

Goryeo also encountered a similar situation. In 2019, Neon stopped supplying three key materials, photoresist, fluorinated polyimide and hydrogen fluoride, to Goryeo, causing Goryeo's semiconductor industry to lose an average of 5 trillion won per day during that period.

After Sumitomo Chemical and Dow Chemical stopped supplying, Lin Jia learned at a meeting that one of their alternative options was the Korean company Dongjin Semiconductor, and that they could work with Dongjin Semiconductor to develop a new type of photoresist.

This plan was not adopted in the end, and China chose a Chinese company as its partner, but Dongjin Semiconductor left a deep impression on Lin Jia.

Because Neon stopped supplying in 2019, Dongjin Semiconductor developed the most advanced EUV photoresist in 2021 and successfully applied it to Samsung's production line in 2022.

News alone is not enough. Judging from the data, Dongjin Semiconductor's revenue soared from 2019 trillion won in 10 to 2023 trillion won in 1.3, of which 2 billion won, equivalent to million US dollars, should come from the technological breakthrough of photoresist.

Because the annual revenue of traditional photoresist manufacturers in Japan is only 20 billion, Dongjin Semiconductor swallowed up 10% of the market share in one go.

What impressed Lin Jia was that, as they also achieved breakthroughs in photoresist technology from scratch, it took Nanjing University of Science and Technology more than five years from taking on the ArF photoresist task to completing the project and entering the production line, while it took Dongjin Semiconductor only more than two years to develop the more technologically advanced EUV photoresist.

A few more words, the technical difficulty of EUV photoresist is significantly higher than that of ArF photoresist, because EUV photoresist uses extreme ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 13.5nm as the exposure light source. This wavelength of light source is in the category of ionizing radiation.

Under the irradiation of such extremely short wavelength light, a series of complex effects will occur in the photoresist, including random effects and shot noise, ionization of the main resin, generation and diffusion of secondary electrons, etc. This requires you to either develop a more complex co-regulation mechanism of resins and photoacid generators, or develop a new material system based on non-chemical amplification principles or even non-organic molecules.

ArF photoresist uses a 193nm excimer laser as the exposure light source. The principle of photolithography is still based on the traditional chemical amplification mechanism. The photoacid generator produces acid under light, which triggers a chemical reaction of the resin to achieve pattern transfer. The regulation mechanism is much simpler.

It is more difficult in principle and also more difficult in the specific material formula of the photoresist.

It was precisely because Dongjin Semiconductor had proven its technical strength that during the internal discussion, even though this company was a Korean company, some people in China still wanted Dongjin Semiconductor to participate and help solve the problem of the new photoresist.

In the end, we didn’t choose Dongjin Semiconductor because it is a Korean company.

Since Japanese companies will stop supplying, Korean companies will do the same.

Just because they couldn’t cooperate in the past doesn’t mean they can’t cooperate now. In the past, Goryeo was the opponent’s dog, but now Goryeo is their little brother.

Why not cooperate with your younger brother?
Supply chain security is far more important than simple economic benefits. This is true for America and China.

Under such circumstances, Wen Zhengren would take the initiative to bring this up. We can also integrate into China's industrial chain and take over the share that originally belonged to Japan.

Korea itself has sufficient technical reserves in the semiconductor field, and the two sides have a natural basis for cooperation.

In the field of aerospace, Korea really has nothing to offer, but in the field of semiconductors, Korea has a lot of good things, and its talent pool is even more amazing.

After Lin Jia's reply, Wen Zhengren said: "Mr. Lin, someone will contact you later, and the Blue House will also provide assistance to the best of its ability for cooperation between the two countries' enterprises."

After saying this, both sides turned their attention back to the stage.

"Next, we will release the first generation of intelligent driving robots: the Audi S1 ​​robot, which is equipped with"

Before the other party could finish speaking, a violent explosion was heard outside the venue, and the vibration could be felt throughout the venue.

The light at the scene flickered a few times and then went out instantly.

"What the hell!" Lin Jia complained in her heart. The whole change happened too quickly and she didn't have time to react at all.

Screams rang out in the stadium. Lin Jia immediately squeezed the hand of Li Xiyin, who was sitting on her right, and said, "Calm down. Sit here and don't move."

Then he immediately turned to Wen Zhengren and shouted: "Mr. Wen! The security forces outside are sufficient, they can't break in.

The biggest danger now comes from a stampede caused by the chaos inside the venue. What we need to do most now is to calm everyone down! "

Under Lin Jia's roar, Wen Zhengren quickly calmed down.

Because of Lin Jia's presence, there are security personnel from China outside, plus security forces from Goryeo, so the security force is sufficient.

He then thought that it was precisely because of such sufficient security that the explosion occurred outside instead of inside.

"I see."

Fortunately, the venue also had a corresponding emergency plan, including corresponding security personnel. After a brief period of chaos, the venue quickly calmed down.

Moreover, only the power supply was cut off; the network was not blocked, so everyone was still able to send messages to report their safety.

Chen Yuanguang called immediately: "Are you okay?"

Lin Jia felt warm inside and said, “It’s okay, it’s just a small scene.

Didn’t call again.”

"I'm glad you're okay. Stay there and don't move. I've confirmed that rescue forces are on the way. The attack outside is not strong and should be eliminated soon."

"Okay, where did these people come from?"

"I don't know. It happened too suddenly."

After about twenty minutes the whole situation calmed down.

The press conference was definitely not going to go on. No one was in the mood to listen to Volkswagen's product launch. Everyone just wanted to get back to the hotel as soon as possible to report safety to their families.

Bered walked up to Lin Jia and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry to have frightened you."

Lin Jia waved his hand: "No one can prevent this kind of thing. Are there any casualties?"

"No, it's just that two people were injured in the stampede during the chaos at the venue. They have been sent to the hospital. There is no risk to their lives." Bered said, "I'll ask the driver to take you back to the hotel."

Lin Jia shook his head: "I'm going to wait here for a while. The Chinese side will send someone to pick me up."

Lin Jia left the underground parking lot only after everyone in the venue had left. The Chinese side did not send a car to pick her up, but a helicopter.

Without stopping for a moment, he took Li Xinyin to Qingdao by Chinese helicopter, and then returned to Yanjing from Qingdao.

On the way, she told the person in charge of her safety: "You can go investigate the hotel next door. I suspect there are snipers or suicide drones waiting for me."

After saying this, Lin Jia closed his eyes, thinking about what happened today, and then said:

“In my opinion, the initial explosion and attack on the KINTEX Convention Center was just a feint because they knew it would be fruitless and it would be impossible to attack without large weapons.

Besides, even if they attack, they may not find me.

And the real killer move will be made after the matter is resolved and everyone has let down their guard.

Just like Soleimani, the most likely scenario is that a drone is waiting for me, and it will attack exactly whichever car I am in.

There must be someone inside Volkswagen and in Korea who cooperated with this group of people and leaked the information about the vehicle I was riding in to them.

Of course this is just my speculation. You can investigate the surrounding high-rise buildings based on my speculation.

There are only two tall buildings around the KINTEX Convention Center, and both of them are highly suspicious.”

After Lin Jia finished speaking, Li Xiyin approached her weakly and asked, "Jia Jia, your skilled look makes me feel distressed."

Lin Jia rolled his eyes at her and then smiled, "If you talk to Yuan Guang for a while longer, you'll realize this is just a small scene."
