Chapter 244 Be sure to ensure personal safety!

Hu Lai's face became more and more gloomy. Chen Hai coughed when he saw this, and then patted his shoulder gently:

"Mr. Hu, Country M has always been like this. In several trials, they asked for exorbitant prices."

"They have always had a condescending attitude. They have always thought that negotiating with us is to give us face and reward us with a bite of food..."

Chen Hai shook his head, then paused and looked at Hu Lai.

"Mr. Hu, don't worry, we have principles and a bottom line when it comes to judgment!"

"I can also promise you that we will do our best to safeguard the normal rights and interests of Phoenix Group. It is impossible for us to accept these unequal terms proposed by them!"

Hu Laizong nodded, and Chen Hai handed over another document. This document was much smaller than the previous one, and was just a simple page.

"The information just now was M's request for us, and this is the concession M is willing to make."

Seeing Hu Lai taking the information, Chen Hai continued:

"Their concessions are much less than their demands."

"To put it simply, the concessions they proposed were that they agreed to negotiate the 5G ban on relevant companies such as Huawei, and that they could relax restrictions on our purchase of ASLM7 nanometer lithography machines."

"Especially the restrictions on our purchase of ASLM7 nanolithography machines... They have never relented on this issue before."

"As you know, lithography machines are the most important part of the chip industry, but we can only produce 28-nanometer DUV lithography machines domestically now. We cannot rigidly wait for domestic lithography machines, so this time is the best

Opportunity!”

"Experts have been gathered above to analyze it. If we can really get the ASML 7-nanometer EUV lithography machine and mass-produce 7-nanometer chips, it will not only greatly improve the domestic chip manufacturing level, but also the development of the domestic chip industry and all chip companies.

It’s a great motivation!”

Having said this, Chen Hai tapped his fingers on the table and sighed, feeling worried.

"It's just... if M really agrees to make concessions on the photolithography machine this time, I don't know how much we will pay!"

"As you just saw, they not only make demands on us in technology companies, but also want to get involved in food, energy, finance and other aspects. They have never given up the idea of ​​controlling our economic lifeline..."

"To tell you the truth, the leaders above were furious when they saw M's request, but we are stuck in the neck by the photolithography machine, what can we do..."

Chen Hai finished speaking helplessly and shook his head.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After waiting for a few seconds, he saw Hu Lai holding the information and looking at it in rapt attention. He couldn't help but shout softly.

"Mr. Hu...?!"

At this time, Hu Lai had already read through the information in his hand. He looked at the information in front of him blankly, and his mind was full of problems with the 5-nanometer lithography machine.

Before Chen Hai could continue to call him, suddenly.

Hu Lai raised his head and looked at Chen Hai blankly:

"Director Chen, if we can now make a 5-nanometer domestic lithography machine, does that mean that all the problems we face will be solved and we can completely turn our passive into active?"

Chen Hai was suddenly stunned for a moment, and even his colleagues next to him looked up and looked at Hu Lai.

“Create a 5-nanometer domestic lithography machine?”

Chen Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If we can really build a 5-nanometer domestic lithography machine now, we will definitely be a national hero and a national treasure throughout the country. Even the leaders directly above me will personally meet with you."

"It's not too much to say..."

Before he finished speaking, goosebumps suddenly appeared in his heart, and he stared blankly at Hu Lai in front of him.

In an instant, the technology created by Hu Lai and the Phoenix Group over the years flashed through his mind like a movie, and he opened his mouth slightly.

"Mr. Hu, you..."

Hu Lai's demeanor returned to normal, he smiled lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Brother Chen, our Phoenix Group just made a breakthrough in the key technology of 5-nanometer lithography machines a few days ago. We are confident that we can produce 5-nanometer lithography machines..."

Chen Hai's eyes suddenly opened wide and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What?!!"

…

In the distant J City, in a six-story building, the lights in several rooms were still on.

He Zhou was writing something on the paper. As the coordinator of this trial, he had not rested for a moment in the past few days.

It is not only necessary to make adequate preparations in advance for various departments, economic affairs, diplomacy, resources, commerce and other related matters, but also to predict the entire situation and find out where the other party's bottom line is.

As he was writing, his pen tip suddenly stopped. He looked at the white paper filled with dense words and suddenly whispered:

"It's difficult..."

After thinking for a long time, He Zhou still did not continue writing. He simply stood up and walked to the window.

The night breeze blew across my face, and looking at the bright moon, my thoughts seemed to become clearer.

The core content of this negotiation is naturally the chip industry, and the top priority is naturally the relevant terms for the purchase of EUV lithography machines. The domestic chip industry is in great need of advanced EUV lithography machines.

But M is not a fool. Naturally, he also knows that Yanguo is in urgent need of photolithography machines. If he really wants to achieve his goal in the apparent game, M will definitely bite a piece of flesh from his body!

"It's hard...it's hard!"

He Zhou sighed, looking at the bright moonlight in the distance, feeling a lot in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The lithography machine is really killing us and blocking the development of the entire chip industry..."

"It would be great if we had our own high-process lithography machine..."

After saying this, even He Zhou couldn't help but laugh. After laughing at himself, he turned around and prepared to return to the table to continue working.

As soon as I sat down, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hello, I am He Zhou."

"Leader, this is me, Chen Hai. I have arrived in Shancheng City to meet Mr. Hu of the Phoenix Group. I have something very important to report to you right now!"

He Zhou's heart tightened. He was very familiar with Chen Hai and was usually very steady. Why was he so excited now? Was he encountering something particularly important?!

"Chen Hai, don't get excited, just speak slowly."

He Zhou looked very calm and took a sip from the tea cup on the desk.

"Leader, I just communicated with Mr. Hu of Phoenix Group, and Mr. Hu suddenly told me some important news."

"Mr. Hu personally said that their Phoenix Group has broken through the key technology of 5-nanometer lithography machines and is expected to realize the production of 5-nanometer lithography machines!"

"What! What did you say?!"

A loud sound suddenly sounded from the room, and He Shangzhou was so shocked that he slapped his palm on the desk, making the teacup tremble.

His tone suddenly became excited.

"Chen Hai, are you serious about this?! How sure are you?"

"Mr. Hu just said that there has been a breakthrough in technology. As long as all the accessories are available, we are absolutely sure that it can be produced!"

"Okay, okay!"

He Shangzhou said three words in a row, and his mind quickly turned around the new technologies that Phoenix has launched in recent years.

If other companies claim to have achieved a breakthrough in photolithography machine production technology, he may still be very skeptical. However, it is really possible for Phoenix Group to achieve a breakthrough in photolithography machine technology.

He is very clear about NB-Y architecture and 3.5D stacking technology. Phoenix Group's chip technology is indeed in a leading position in the world.

While excited, He Zhou forced himself to calm down. After a while, he said to Chen Hai:

"Chen Hai, one of your most important tasks now is to fully cooperate to ensure all the needs of the Phoenix Group. If they have any problems with the production of photolithography machines, they will do everything possible to solve them."

"Yes, use all resources and try every means. If it doesn't work, just call me and I will handle it!"

After speaking, He Zhou finally relaxed a little. He quickly thought about the huge impact of this matter and felt uneasy.

"In this case, Chen Hai, I will come to Shancheng City with the expert team early tomorrow morning to ask questions personally. This matter is of great importance and must be kept highly confidential."

"You now inform Mr. Hu Lai that you cannot tell anyone this news. At the same time, you will immediately send more manpower to ensure Mr. Hu's personal safety!"

"Okay, leader! I'll make arrangements right away!"
