Chapter 349: 349
As soon as he spoke, the controversy of the people ended here and turned to meditate .
Lu Zixin gave them a big problem, and no one can make it .
After discussing it for more than a week, they finally came up with a plan . Based on the team of the original red-core mobile phone chip, a new R&D team will be formed to attract domestic and foreign talents . The laboratory should also be expanded, and the units invested in capital are all billions…
However, the plan of thinking is always different from the actual situation . This project has just begun, and they have encountered difficulties .
“What? This lithography machine dares to cost $100 million?” Lu Zixin shouted in the office .
In front of him, the director of research center said helplessly: “President, it is good to buy this . We contact the mechanical equipment manufacturers in United States, they buy the price is also one to $100 million, the performance is better than no Equipment on the Netherlands . ”
“It costs $100 million to buy the most advanced products . ” Lu Zixin is a disgrace to monopolize the core technology .
Internationally, we know that China is not capable of manufacturing high-precision computer chips, so the price of high-precision equipment is high!
What is the concept of $100 million? This money can buy a large Boeing airliner! This is simply stealing money!
When I first asked Red Queen for some equipment, Red Letter mobile phone chips could not be created . Just by cost, you can scare people .
“This is just one of them, we still need these equipment… more than one hundred important technology licenses…” The Director of the Procurement Office listed them one by one .
If you invest in a semiconductor industry, it may be a big deal to invest more than a billion . But Lu Zixin’s requirements are world-class research results, comparable to Intel, AMD and other companies .
Therefore, all conditions must be in accordance with the highest requirements, lack of equipment, lack of technology patents, lack of talent, lack of laboratories … the initial calculation, you have to go nearly 10 billion!
Red Letter invested in the establishment of Red Letter’s Headquarters and Red Letter’s US factories, as well as a large number of virtual projection equipment manufacturing .
……
China, Modu, ASML company China Branch .
This is a German chip manufacturing supplier and currently the world’s largest chip manufacturing supplier, accounting for about 80% of the world market share .
“Warmly welcome, Mister Lu, I am very happy to meet you, we are also happy to cooperate with Red Letter . ” In the reception room, Fred, the head of ASML China Division, met Lu Zixin .

Fred is tall, white skin, natural brown hair, twice as old as Lu Zixin, with a warm smile and Chinese language with a demon accent .
“I am also very happy to meet you . We are here, I think your company already knows it . ” Lu Zixin said, “We are not very satisfied with the samples of lithography machine that your company provided us last time . ”
“The few samples I provided last time?” Fred asked his secretary, and the secretary quickly handed the document to him .
He browsed it and said seriously: “President Lu, these samples are carefully chosen by us . What do you mean by dissatisfaction?”
“Performance, price, and some of the accessories we asked for are not complete . ” Lu Zixin said, naturally there is an assistant to hand over the information .
After a simple conversation, Fred waved: “President Lu, I don’t think there is a problem . ”
“With regard to performance, we have provided you with the world’s top lithography equipment! You may not know, just a few days ago, we sold it to several countries in your country . ”
Lu Zixin didn’t talk . He knew that ASML must have more advanced lithography equipment, but they didn’t intend to sell it to them .

As a result, their companies have always used equipment that is lower than others to produce products that are naturally not as good as foreign companies .
“Mr . Fred, these models, we think the price is higher 50% than the world’s normal price!” Red letter staff listed the data .
Fred is still with a smile: “No, no, this is our latest immersion lithography machine, which has been improved on the previous generation of lithography machines to produce integrated circuits with key dimensions lower than 38 nanometers . This has reached the first-class production process in China . ”
“Red Letter is a very powerful electronic Science and Technology company . If you can produce chips with such precision, I think that in the world, Red Letter products are highly competitive!”
Lu Zixin naturally wouldn’t agree . The two sides talked for a long time, Fred said: “If you insist on our latest models, I need to report to Headquarters to make decisions . ”
“Then please ask Mr . Fred to report to Headquarters . ” Lu Zixin said simply, “The previous samples, we don’t want to!”
In the office, Fred and ASML Headquarters executives held a virtual projection meeting to discuss .
“Gentlemen, Red Letter Group rejected our previous samples and they must have the most advanced lithography equipment,” Fred said .
“Can’t give them!” Some people immediately objected, “Red Letter Group has broken our monopoly on mobile phone chips, and computer chips must not let them succeed again!”

“I agree . The top equipment is banned from exporting to China . ”
“Fred, you have to find a way to make this business . Red Letter Group is now the hottest electronics manufacturer in China . If they buy our equipment, our China market can double its turnover!”
“But their attitude is very determined!”
……
The core executives of ASML have negotiated and finally come up with a plan . Provided to the Red Letter Group a new version of lithography equipment, but the price will rise, asking for $350 million!
Other equipment, the same reason .
“President Lu, this is the latest sample of the procurement provided by ASML . ” The assistant handed the information to Lu Zixin . “They are willing to provide better equipment, but the price has also increased a lot!”
“Increase? Is the research center analyzed, what are the performance of these devices?” Lu Zixin asked .
