After the questioning session was over, it was finally time to announce the price. After going through the questioning session, Liu Fan became a lot more comfortable. He stood on the stage and made two jokes with everyone, and then put the price on the screen: 900 million 90 million.

This price is within the psychological expectations of many people. Although Liu Fan's real cost is mainly the material cost because of the factory that has the system to send it, the price must be set according to market standards.

It is more expensive than ASML's current main model 3400B. The reason is very simple. Its own products are indeed better than others. The production capacity of 195WPH alone is enough to surpass the current production capacity of 3400B at 125WPH, not to mention the performance and power consumption. They also have advantages.

Liu Fan felt very conscientious at selling this price, and the professionals present also felt that the price was more reliable, as long as Liu Fan's products were as he said.

Another reason why it is more expensive than ASML is that now Huaxia Enterprises sells a little more expensive things, and they will be scolded for no reason, and they will say why Huaxia Enterprises are so expensive, which makes Liu Fan very upset. , Why can't the things of Huaxia Enterprises be more expensive? Can something good be expensive?

If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it and you'll be done. Is it interesting to bury Huaxia Enterprises? I beg you to buy it?

After announcing the price, Liu Fan said that the first lithography machine of Wood Dragon Technology will be sold by auction at today's dinner, and all the final turnover will be donated to charitable educational institutions.

This sudden arrangement still caught many people off guard. It was not mentioned before, and everyone was unprepared. Many people hurriedly contacted the company leaders to inquire.

After the press conference, everyone moved to the banquet hall for tonight's dinner.

The opening of the dinner was still the performance prepared by the company, after which Liu Fan came to the stage to give a speech and toast, the host interacted with everyone, and then it was the auction session.

The starting price is 80,000, and the highest bidder wins.

The final transaction price should be higher than the price of 990 million yuan. This is the guess of most people, but everyone also thinks that it will not be too high. After all, Mulong Technology has an annual output of 20 units. It is really unnecessary for many companies to spend too much money just to get this lithography machine a few months earlier.

And the issue of trust still needs to be mentioned here. Whether Liu Fan's lithography machine is good or not is not sure.

In addition, there are not many chip companies in the first place, and there are only a few companies that are really on the front line. Tonight's competition should also be among a few companies.

But whether there will be a situation that surprises everyone in the end, everyone is still looking forward to it.

"850 million." Haisi was the first to shout.

"900 million." The second one shouted was TSMC.

"920 million."

"950 million."

....

"1300000000."

Sure enough, as everyone expected, many chip companies have not participated in this game from the beginning, and now there are only five companies that are still biting the price: HiSilicon, TSMC, ZTE, SK Hynix, and Qualcomm.

HiSilicon is now the manufacturer of Kirin chips, and it is easy to understand that it has a higher pursuit of chips. Not to mention TSMC, the world's first company that claims to have 5nm chips at the end of 2019, Liu Fan's lithography machine Both productivity and performance are big draws for him. After all, the mass production of 5nm chips will inevitably allow TSMC to lay a solid foundation in this industry. At that time, Samsung will be envious.

Everyone understands ZTE, and they are probably sensitive when they hear the word chip. As for Hynix and Qualcomm, Liu Fan doesn’t know why they are so high, but they are helping themselves to build momentum anyway, which is good.

In the end, Mulong Technology's first lithography machine was auctioned at a price of 1.87 billion, and the buyer was HiSilicon. Liu Fan also notarized on the spot and donated all the money to charitable educational institutions.

In the following dinner, the performing arts company continued to arrange performances and interactions. During the period, Liu Fan invited Su Yenan to explain some traditional crafts, and then invited Mr. Zhao to the stage to show everyone the beauty of Hangzhou embroidery.

Afterwards, Liu Fan held the wine glass and began to take Xu Jing and He Lin to entertain the guests at the table. Today, all the people who came here are from the old world. No matter how much they have in mind, they all know to hold back and wait until the dinner is over. The whole dinner atmosphere Very harmonious.

Liu Fan also took photos with members of the Lucky Fan Club, and the one who took the most photos was naturally Meng Xiao.

Until nine o'clock in the evening, everyone left the venue one after another. At this time, some people gradually began to invite Liu Fan to chat privately, but Liu Fan asked Liu Wei to deal with these people, and none of them were seen.

At a time like this, it's not appropriate to neglect anyone, nor is it appropriate to be enthusiastic about anyone, so it's better not to see anyone at all, and we will make an appointment later.

After the main guests had left, Liu Fan took Xu Jing and He Lin upstairs.

Liu Fan asked Xu Jing to record some important content of the dinner party to make a summary, and at the same time asked He Lin to report some reactions to this press conference on the Internet that she had seen in the past few hours.

Liu Fan is still very concerned about the reaction of the outside world. After all, the release of the lithography machine is quite a risky step for him. There are two main aspects to this adventure.

The first is that there are still many bugs in the development of lithography machines by ourselves. For example, personnel issues. ASML has more than 10,000 employees, and there are more than 6,000 R\u0026D personnel alone. Although this problem has been considered before, Liu Fan has been recruiting people for the past two months, and has found several new factories, set up a lot of offices, and hired a group of R \u0026 D and production personnel. The main job of these people is to study The remaining 1% have to import parts from abroad. But even so, Wood Dragon Technology currently employs only a thousand people.

If someone gets to the bottom of this matter, Liu Fan is not sure whether it will be exposed, and what he is most worried about is not other companies, but the government, and the government will check this kind of thing.

The second risk is the smart factory I mentioned. If artificial intelligence can bring about such a revolutionary change in industry, it should cause a greater sensation than the lithography machine itself, right? Even though I was ambiguous at the press conference, I kept emphasizing that this smart factory is only auxiliary, but what would others think? Liu Fan wanted to see if many people would ask this question online.

Although there are some risks, Liu Fan does not hesitate to hold this press conference, because he has already taken the risk from the moment he got the system. If you want to avoid risks, do you want to occupy the system and not develop it?

Moreover, Liu Fan now really feels that time is precious, and there are too many problems to overcome, and he may not be able to realize the intelligent era he imagined after exhausting his life, so he doesn't want to be too cautious.

As long as there is a major plan and a plan, and he does not take too many steps, he is willing to take risks within a certain range.

"Our lithography machine has basically occupied the front page headlines of all technology media, the mainstream media has also gradually made their voices heard, and Weibo has also begun to become popular searches, but it may be a bit difficult to get on the headlines of Weibo today." He Lin began to tell Liu Where to explain the situation.

"why?"

"Because there is a Korean celebrity getting married today, it has been taking the heat." He Lin waved her hands helplessly.

Liu Fan nodded, and took a look on Weibo. Sure enough, the top searches were all about marriages of Korean stars. "China's first self-developed lithography machine" is now only ranked 26th.

Liu Fan subconsciously clicked in and looked at the comments, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Don't be so fucking bragging, let me give you some popular science. Huaxia only has the ability to produce etching machines, and it doesn't have the conditions to produce high-end lithography machines. If it can reach the application level of 5nm, it is definitely etching. It’s a machine, the etching machine and the lithography machine are completely two things, don’t be fooled by the title, and treat us like monkeys.”

"I thought I had made a chip. If I made something that my family made ten years ago, it would be like this? How can I write it if you know how to be ashamed? If you have the ability to make a chip."

"Really, don't be ashamed of yourself. If you don't move, you will lead the world. How far behind China's technology is, you don't know how to post this kind of news, and wait for your face to be slapped."

Seeing the first three comments, Liu Fan was a little dazed, it was different from what he had imagined...
