Please make money.

There is already a fanatical fan who wants to buy that thing for 5 million yen, but there is no demand.

The sales of this album have skyrocketed, and part of the reason is the hype of this disguised card drawing - Yamashita himself has opened many copies.

The album's plastic cover has a one-time fuse, so unless you return it to the factory it cannot be sealed back intact.

Eight million albums have been sold out, but there are only three handwritten New Year's cards that have been made public, including this one.

The contents are different. The first two are "How can I not be happy to see a gentleman" and "When the snow is about to fall, the sun will be clear and I wish you peace and happiness"

Compared to the other two pictures, the emotion contained in this one is like a confession, and the innocent little cutie blushed after understanding it.

The companion grinned and said, "Then you should keep it carefully. This is such a valuable peripheral. It is not a gift that can be given away casually."

"...No, since I said before that I gave it to you, it's yours now."

Yamashita-kun handed the New Year's card back and told his companion to keep it so that they could cash it in later.

"I didn't expect it to be on this album. This is your luck. Congratulations. I hope everything will go well in the new year!"

The companion thought about it, turned to Aki Maki and asked if it was not a good idea.

Aki Masaki didn't really care about the value of this New Year's card. One million yen was equivalent to 50,000 national dollars, which was also a lot of money.

But she only earns this much a month, and her year-end bonus is a high-end sports car. How much is this worth?

She pulled her companion aside, muttering something, and so on, and finally exchanged the New Year's card for a bag that her companion liked as a gift.

Her companion understood what she was thinking: "A man who is both virtuous and talented, and a childhood sweetheart, is a huge plus, right?"

Masaka Aki just smiled and said, "It's not that serious. We were just neighbors for a period of time many years ago."

"I say, could he be the neighbor boy you mentioned before who fished you out of the river?"

"..." Masaki nodded slightly, lifted her hair, and lowered her voice: "It should be him..."

“Is this true? Is this some kind of industrial sugar-making show? Is the shrine of the God of Matchmaking so effective?!”

"Keep your voice down!" Masaki Aki held her back and said, "There's no result yet. Just take a look and treat it as a time spent together as friends."

"Haha, my friend, the beginning of a relationship is when you become friends. He can generously give up a million yen. I think he has a good character and morals. I advise you to hurry up, or he will be snatched away by another thieving cat. Oh, that's not right. He hasn't been a thieving cat for so many years, so he's probably waiting for you to meet him again."

As he said this, his companion clasped his hands together and said, "Lord God of Matchmaking, please give me a good man who is also a teacher!"

Yamashita-kun was waiting nearby, looking at Alia's smile on the album, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a good moment, Masaka Aki came back: "You like Missy very much, right?"

"My lady...ah, you mean Alia?"

"Well, I work for her. She's the president of our company, but we usually don't call her president, we call her Miss."

As she spoke, Masaki took out the New Year's card and said, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. It's a great honor to meet again. Please accept it - and I wish you a happy new year."

Yamashita-kun took the New Year's card with a little surprise, looked at Masaki Aki who was smiling gently, and then looked at her companion who was making the scissors hand gesture behind her.

Finally, he looked down at the New Year's greeting card: "May I be like a star and you be like the moon, shining brightly every night."

"……Thanks!"

446-Sweet Love and Alia Taking Over

Sweet love is everywhere, but it has nothing to do with Alia.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ailia was forced to start work: the high-tech industrial park was in a hurry.

Aaliya says I am not in hurry, it is New Year, everyone can take a few days off.

The High-tech Industrial Park said no, you have to come quickly, come immediately, come right away.

So Alia went and saw it, and after seeing it she felt blind.

"This is all the mess left by that bastard Liu Shouzheng? Do you think I believe it?"

The first thing we looked at was the industrial park. It was called an industrial park, but apart from the supporting policies, it was just an empty shell.

The promised factory buildings, the promised production lines, the promised supporting equipment, are now all empty.

If I have to say, only the few remaining large production workshops are still good, but what can be found in them?

Even if there is a mountain of gold inside, how many billions can it be worth?

"Do you think I don't have the money to buy land, or do you think I'm not eligible to apply for preferential policies?"

Alia rolled up the document in her hand and knocked on the rusty guardrail beside her: "On the third day of the New Year, you show me this? Old Qian, old Qian, you are not kind!"

President Qian was very serious: "Ms. Ai, something happened in Handong Province. A big bomb exploded in Shouzheng Group!"

"...Handong?" Alia narrowed her eyes slightly: "What's going on?"

In this world line, Donghuang not only has the international metropolis Tianhai, but also the Handong Province that does not exist in the other world.

The entire Handong Province has a population of more than 70 million and has jurisdiction over several large cities including Jingzhou, Luzhou, Lincheng, etc., all of which are second-tier cities.

Jingzhou is the headquarters of the Shouzheng Group, just as the headquarters of the Ai Group is in Tianhai and the headquarters of the Tang Group is in Rongcheng, Shuzhong.

This all has a foundation, the result of years of hard work.

At the very least, I must have a pearl necklace worth the inheritance from my parents - cross out - an office building.

The year before last, the top leader of Handong Province, Zhao Lichun, fell from power, and along with him the entire secretarial gang was uprooted, causing quite a stir.

But Alia didn't expect that the boomerang from that year could hit her on the forehead.

Yes, I did say I wanted to kill Xiao Liu, but wasn’t that just a momentary impulse?

After all, to him, Xiao Liu is not important, and money is not important either, but it is important that Xiao Liu has no money.

What's the point of killing him before he's completely broke?

Something happened in your Handong Province, and Shouzheng Group collapsed. This has stolen my fun, so I should thank you, right?

You woke me up early this morning just because there are still some small relics of Shouzheng Group in the high-tech industrial park that I am going to take over?

With such dissatisfaction, Alia walked into the factory with a dark face, which already had a desolate atmosphere.

I want to see what the inheritance is. Even if you contact me overnight, I will come and receive it as soon as possible.

His Xiao Liu's urn isn't that prestigious, right?

Twenty minutes later, looking at the huge machine in front of her that was stored in layers of sealed bags, Alia fell silent.

...Fuck, this is much more exciting than Xiao Liu's urn...

The chip design team from the East Suburb Research Institute that came with her almost rushed over directly.

Engineer Chen looked at it back and forth several times and confirmed that it was this thing.

"The one that was shipped back last year, yes! That's it!"

Who is it? Of course it’s not Little Nezha.

Alia walked over. The huge gray-white machine looked like a dismantled carriage.

There are various sophisticated structures inside, which looks like a 3D printer that has been magnified many times.

There is an "ASML" logo on the upper left corner, and the sealed bag has not been completely opened.

To prevent oxidation, workers previously injected inert gas into the bags to maintain its storage environment.

This big thing, which was in its 99% new state and was used by a girl herself and had never been opened, was lying quietly in front of Alia.

Alya tilted her head to look at the nameplate - 'NXT: 1980Di'.

"Lithography……"

"To be precise, it is an immersion lithography machine, almost brand new, and it has been transported twice, once to Handong and the second time here."

President Qian looked at the big guy and sighed: "If this big guy hadn't been transported here, Tianhai would not be willing to release the eagle..."

Why did Tianhai officials believe earlier that Shouzheng Group was going to do something big?

The mortgaged items are here!

There is a lithography machine in the left hand, Dr. Chen in the right hand, and the sign of Shouzheng Group behind him.

You can say that they were not good people before and had very poor credibility.

But he has equipment in his left hand and talented people in his right hand, and he looks like he is determined to mend his ways and catch up with you. How can you refuse?

You have to know that at that time, even Mr. Chen, the president of Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, who was at the same level as Boss Huo, had to accept it with a pinch of his nose, hoping that he would return to his right path.

The result is that a dog can't change its eating habits...

"Shouzheng Group used it to mortgage about 600 million yuan from our bank."

President Qian lowered his voice and said, "But now... ahem, the project has a large funding gap, and there is a risk of a broken funding chain causing the project to stagnate at any time."

The wording was very official. Alia glanced at him and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'm leaving. No one else will eat this cold rice except me."

The latter laughed awkwardly: "The gap is too big...more than 100 billion..."

"More than 100 billion, do you think I have that? Can you weigh me by the pound?"

Alia was so angry that she laughed: "Just look at my Ai Group's brand name being smashed and used as firewood, and then I was thrown into the pot and fried, can I get so much money in the end!"

"Ms. Ai, calm down... calm down..." President Qian also had a headache.

This is indeed a bit unkind, or even very unkind.

The bank obviously has a lot of information hidden.

Of course they knew what was inside before, but wasn't the Shouzheng Group still alive at that time?

You have to know that from the conflict with Alia, to the various investigations, and finally to the year-end financial report, the company was devastated by its debts exceeding its assets.

For such a long time, the bank has been watching from the sidelines and has not placed any bets in advance.

As for banks, they give out umbrellas when it’s sunny and take them away when it’s rainy.

It is too difficult to expect them to help in times of need. We have to wait until we know that Alia has the ability and determination, and most importantly, has official support, before they come to add icing on the cake.

And the reason why we chose Alia is also very simple.

Just like what someone in the family said before, no one except her is willing to eat this cold rice.

The problems of Shouzheng Group dealt them a heavy blow, but at first they were not afraid because we had collateral.

Let me see what this good treasure is that can be easily converted into cash…

Hmm? Lithography machine?

Look at the collateral on hand - what the hell is this?

If they took these things away themselves, they would get the same price as scrap metal.

But in Alia's hands, this thing might really be worth billions.

President Qian thought to himself, how come he became the president years ago? It turns out he was waiting here.

If this happens and Alia is in trouble, he will be President Qian.

If this doesn't work out, I guess I won't be able to make any money...

Alia ignored the pitiful guy. He was just pretending to be pitiful. Did he really think that banks were a vulnerable group?

She looked at Mr. Chen, wanting to ask for his opinion.

The latter was checking the instruction manual, which came as a random gift and was thicker than a dictionary.

"How is it? Is there anything wrong with the thing?"

"At present, they are all right, with a resolution of 38nm, but through multiple exposures, it can be supported to around 7nm... However, this process is more complicated, more expensive, and the yield may also be reduced..."

Engineer Chen looked up and carefully touched the huge machine: "But compared to solving the problem from 1 to 100, solving the step from 0 to 1 is the key."

Alia took two steps back and looked at the thing again.

“It is said that TSMC’s first-generation 7nm process was also based on NXT:1980Di?”

"Yes, we asked them to do tape-out before, and they used the same machine."

In fact, there are lithography machines in China, including NXT:1980Di and its iterative version 2000i.

But that is another world line, not the Donghuang world line we are in today.

In another world line, Yangtze Memory uses this product.
