Chapter 245 Nikon is in a hurry for a technological breakthrough(1/2)

245

When Su An got the news about Zhang Lu, he had only a simple and direct reaction in his mind.

This is definitely a rare opportunity. Nikon obviously wants to use this opportunity to let their company find a breakthrough in the global chip manufacturing industry.

For Minions Technology, this is also the best cross-time and space technology transfer.

As long as Nikon does not restrict the equipment, even if it is restricted on the surface, it is only necessary to give a key that can lift the software restrictions in secret.

So for the cooperation between the two parties, this is a win-win situation.

Even Su An didn't mind purchasing a few more sets of equipment, and directly increased the purchase to 10 billion US dollars.

The equipment value of lithography machines is not high. Even the most advanced seven-nanometer lithography machine on the market today is only hundreds of millions of dollars.

Even a complete set of production lines will not exceed 4 billion US dollars at the current price.

This is still the investment amount of the seven-nanometer production line. If the standard is lowered to 28 nanometers, the price of the entire production line will drop significantly.

Nikon has given a complete set of 28-nanometer production lines and the construction costs of the supporting dust-free workshop are integrated to 5 billion US dollars, which is a relatively reasonable price.

"Since Nikon is so generous, we'll just be bolder.

Factory in South Africa must be built according to the standards of three production lines.

At that time, you only need to leave one of them, and all the other two production lines will be transferred to my side." Su An decided without hesitation to let Zhang Lu purchase Nikon's equipment.

Even if the negotiations are successful in European companies, they will definitely set many restrictions.

The software restrictions will definitely be very cumbersome.

Su An was very afraid of this restriction.

Su An is not a brainless fan of Apple, but he still has to give a thumbs up for the safety of Apple phones.

If the entire set of equipment shipped by a European company, each sub-device has highly encrypted programs and hardware.

Especially when every time you start the computer and run, you need to connect to the Internet for authentication, which will cause great trouble to cracking.

What Su An is even more worried is that if the three-time startup operation does not receive network authentication, the entire set of equipment will be automatically locked, and such losses will be very serious.

Su An is not sure whether such encryption settings can be uninstalled in 2002.

However, what is more worried is that once someone cracks the device.

Will it lead to an even more irreversible ending?

If you fail to obtain network authentication after three boots, you will be locked. Once you detect that there is a cracking method to cancel, all program information will be destroyed.

Even if you get the entire set of hardware equipment, the subsequent control unit and software writing must start from scratch.

In this way, all motherboards of the entire set of equipment must be removed, the motherboard is redesigned, and the program is reinjected.

However, even if you don’t know these machines, you can still think of a large number of chips, motherboards and control units all over these machines.

To eliminate all motherboards and programs, this is equivalent to changing the entire set of devices with a brain and all neural networks.

This is as difficult as redeveloping a set of equipment. Just think about it and you will know that it will take a lot of time.

Zhang Lu did not feel surprised when Su An made a decision.

However, Zhang Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "We can purchase three sets of equipment, but if two sets of equipment are transferred to your side.

Nikon will definitely be alert if two production lines are missing in the huge factory.

Even I can guess that Nikon may add some GPS positioning to the devices sold to us, and it is not ruled out that cameras are installed in our factories.

Installing a camera may be written into our procurement contracts.”

Regarding Zhang Lu's concerns, Su An hesitated for a moment and said decisively: "Don't worry that Nikon will have any objections. I believe they will choose to turn a blind eye!

I even bet they wish we could ship one of the production lines back to China.

As long as this production line is shipped back to China for production, this is undoubtedly the best advertising for Nikon.

The 28-nanometer production line is not the most advanced thing in the world today.

In addition, our country has made technological breakthroughs in 28-nanometer lithography machines.

Even if Nikon wants to sell it to us, there will not be much pressure in the Western world.

As long as we grow products that have breakthrough technology in Huajia, the Western world will no longer have any obstacles to us, and we even want to lower the price in large quantities and dump it on us.

So I am sure that even if we transfer the equipment, Nikon will not react at all.

Tomorrow, you can talk to them and test their attitude.

I told them very bluntly that we would buy three production lines, two of which would be transported back to the Zanhuajia to start production with the joint venture, and only one production line would be settled in South Africa.

If they responded strongly, they expressed disagreement that we would transport the equipment back to the flower planter for production.

Then you should terminate the negotiations with them first and find ways to get some news from our domestic scientific research companies.

Spend some money to buy hot searches to make Nikon think that our domestic 28-nanometer lithography machine will be mass-produced soon.

Faced with the 28-nanometer lithography machine that is about to be mass-produced, everyone in the flower farm hopes that domestic companies can purchase the equipment they produce.

In order to express support, our company is willing to support its own national technology with practical actions.

As long as the hot searches have sufficient effect, Nikon will think that the deal they are about to obtain may fly away.

In order to keep us, Nikon may give it a try.

In today's world, we can spend 10 billion yuan in chip manufacturing to invest. Apart from our huge market, Huahuajia, there is no other place that has similar investments.

Even TSMC and Samsung will not have such a large investment in the short term to build a production line with a 28-nanometer process.

Even if Samsung and TSMC invest, they will only spend a lot of money to invest in five nanometers and three nanometers.

Five nanometers and three nanometers are technology that Nikon has never owned, which means that they only have us as the buyer in the world today.”

Su An is very confident and believes that Nikon will make concessions.

If the technology sold by Nikon is a technology that can compete with TSMC and Samsung, then Nikon will definitely have various conditions.

The 28-nanometer technology is just a technology that is not the most mainstream technical standard on the market.

Purchasing three production lines at one time may not have such digestive ability in Europe and the United States today.

In particular, European chip manufacturing industries are selling their factories.

How could they spend a lot of money to continue investing?

Unless they are willing to invest in three-nanometer factories and compete for the world's top technological frontiers today.

Otherwise, repeated investment is almost behind the times of technology and technology, which is tantamount to capitalists, for them, it is tantamount to using their own money to waste their money.

In the market that is almost saturated, no matter in the mobile phone industry or personal computer hardware, it will no longer use 28-nanometer chips.

That is, the automotive industry and the Internet of Things will use this relatively backward technical level.

Obviously, as uncertainty in the world economy increases today, capitalists are reluctant to waste their cash on this track.

Only the huge market of Huahuajia can digest three 28-nanometer production lines at one time.

As long as Nikon wants to make a breakthrough in the chip manufacturing industry, it has to relax restrictions on cooperation between the two parties.

This is Nikon's last chance, the last chance to try to make a breakthrough in the chip manufacturing industry.

Today, the 28-nanometer process of the flower grower is about to be mass-produced. Once it is successfully mass-produced, I am afraid that I will want to sell the 28-nanometer technology I own to the flower grower. This will undoubtedly increase too much difficulty and uncertainty.

Taking advantage of the critical moment when the flower grower is not mass-producing immediately, we must quickly cut the mess and sign the contract.

After listening to Su An's explanation, Zhang Lu decided to test Nikon's reaction according to Su An's routine.

Zhang Lu immediately searched for several naval troops online through his money ability.

Not long after, the news that the 28-nanometer lithography machine of Zhonghuajia was about to be mass-produced and put into operation spread throughout the network.

For netizens, this is quite exciting news.

For a moment, the entire network was in full bloom.

With the operation of Zhang Luchao's ability, this news has successfully entered several important hot search lists internationally.

The head of Nikon's chip department soon noticed the news.

He did not contact Zhang Lu immediately, but instead learned about the situation through Nikon's company at Huahuajia.

However, the news received a few hours later showed that it seemed that the flower grower really wanted to mass-produce a 28-nanometer process.

After all, it is a company that has been in the flower planting family for many years and has no doubt about the news that has been reported.

Fortunately, Zhang Lu gave enough money to buy hot searches, and the news can be said to be overwhelming.

It’s not like some little stars spending 200,000 to 300,000 to buy a hot search for a few hours.

Zhang Lu spent 10 million on this money he bought for hot searches.

Not long after, before Zhang Lu took the initiative to contact Nikon, Nikon had already sent the head of the chip department to the hotel to meet Zhang Lu.

During the second meeting, Zhang Lu's attitude was obviously very different from the last time.

The last time Zhang Lu heard that Nikon was willing to provide a low-interest loan of 5 billion US dollars, he could see the excitement and unsuppressed desire on his face.
