Great Power Technology

At 10 a.m. on September 6, Qianhai Securities VIP reception room.

"Mr. Vincent, we understand your appeal very well, but I believe that as a professional who has been engaged in investment work in China for many years, you should also understand our policies."

"In any country, the market is closed when the market is closed. Although the two parties are conducting transactions based on the securities lending contract, during the market close, we cannot operate redemption operations outside the market."

"This holiday did come suddenly, but it was not without warning. We had previously sent you a notice that the market opening might be delayed. You didn't ask for redemption at that time, right?"

Vincent, who is responsible for the agency business of IDFC, paces anxiously in the reception room. He knows that his current attempt will almost never succeed, but he must try again.

Before today, he had almost no doubts about the success of this investment. On the one hand, he believed in the professionalism of Blackstone Capital, and on the other hand, it was out of confidence in his own country.

This is the confidence accumulated over decades or even hundreds of years.

During this time, no one ever challenged their authority.

However, today, it seemed that things were beginning to change in ways that made him uneasy.

Although the above order only said that the other party may have mastered 7nm technology, based on his understanding of the officials in China for many years, if he only mastered such a technology that is not enough to change the entire situation, it is impossible for the other party to use such a strategy like a rag. .

Whether it is the delay in negotiations or the undercurrent in the financial market, it has far exceeded his own awareness.

The only factor that allowed him to still trust the instructions was the rational education he received.

It is impossible. No matter from which perspective, they cannot master technology that is more advanced than their own country. This is an objective law.

It’s not like that, you can still directly break the objective laws, right?

Thinking of this, he said:

"Mr. Li Rui, I know my request is very unreasonable, but now we are indeed facing an emergency situation and must allocate a large amount of funds for other purposes. Therefore, I would like to discuss with you whether I can Give us an exemption?"

"You also know that there is actually no loss for you if you redeem at this time - the stock price has been on a downward trend recently, and we have no choice but to give up the profits we are about to get."

Li Rui, who was sitting behind his desk, shook his head firmly.

It's not that he is unwilling to open this backdoor. In fact, their company, which has no principles, has actually done a lot of illegal operations when facing such a large customer.

Only this time, they received a red line order from their superiors.

Whoever dares to open this mouth will die.

"Not fired, not fired, but literally killed."

This is what the leader said.

He didn't know why, and he didn't need to know.

Just implement it resolutely.

No one is willing to sell his or her life and fortune for the small breach of contract gains under such circumstances.

"Mr. Vincent, unfortunately, we really can't."

Looking at Li Rui's firm expression, Vincent sighed.

He turned around and drove out of the Qianhai office building. Looking at the hurried crowds on the street, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

He always thought that it was the capital he represented that was encircling and suppressing Chinese capital, but he did not expect that he was the prey caught in the encirclement and suppression.

At 16:00 in the afternoon, the last round of negotiations between Ugly Business Representative and Huaxia Business Representative regarding Yinglong EDA.

"We can accept your condition of 400 end users, and we can make further concessions on price and functionality, but the premise is that you must complete the contract signing with us in the shortest possible time."

"These rounds of negotiations have dragged on for too long, and we have lost our patience. If it continues like this, we have to doubt your sincerity."

Lu Siwen's tone was very strong, but by this time, everyone in the venue had heard his bluff.

Chen Hao took a sip of tea slowly and then replied:

"I'm very sorry to inform you, Mr. Lu, that based on the conclusions reached by many of our companies, our technical conditions have changed."

"We decided to stick to the conditions put forward by Mr. Ye Zhou at the beginning, that is: Yinglong EDA must be used without restrictions."

"In addition, in terms of business, we still insist on not touching the provisions related to grain import and export. As for other aspects of compensation, we can give you appropriate discounts on car import taxes."

"The discount amount is 3%."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Siwen on the screen slapped the table and stood up.

"3%! Mr. Chen Hao! Are you kidding me?! What's the difference between having such a discount and not having it? Send a beggar away??"

Looking at Lu Siwen with an angry face, Chen Hao remained unmoved at all.

"Mr. Lu, these are our conditions. If you are dissatisfied, we can sit down and continue talking. I believe we will always come to a result."

Lu Siwen suppressed his anger and sat down again, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Mr. Chen Hao, when the negotiations have progressed to this point, I think both of us no longer need to hide it. We have already made a preliminary understanding of your back-up plan."

"However, I am here to advise you, even if you can actually achieve your goal, it will already be within our expectations!"

"You cannot shake our dominance in the field of science and technology. This is the last advice we can give you from the perspective of technical strength!"

"I will only give this advice once!"

After hearing Lu Siwen's words, Chen Hao's eyes gradually turned cold.

He put down the teacup in his hand, looked directly at the other person, and said word by word:

"Do you really think you can threaten us with your domineering attitude like you are doing now?"

"Do you really think that you can brazenly talk nonsense in front of us, saying 'from the perspective of strength'?"

"I can tell you clearly that you have no right to say this in the past, present or future."

"Perhaps objectively speaking, there was indeed a gap between our technical strength and yours in the chip field."

"But now, the offensive and defensive situation has changed, Mr. Lu!"

"You don't think that the factory your satellite is targeting only manufactures crappy 7nm chips, do you?"

"That's ridiculous. Do you think those little tricks you are doing can really escape our eyes within the borders?"

"What you know is nothing but what we want you to know."

"Now, I can tell you that what you want to know will be released to the nation in an hour."

After saying that, Chen Hao directly cut off the video call.

At this point in the negotiation, there is actually no need to continue.

At 14:00 on September 6, the first 5nm chip wafer was successfully trial-produced at the Spark Factory.

At 15 o'clock, the chip wafer passed the mid-term test, which means that the "Zhiwei" lithography machine is running well. Even if there is indeed a problem after the final packaging, it is only a matter of technical details and does not affect the success of the lithography machine manufacturing. fact.

At 18:00, the first 100% domestically produced 5nm chip "Kaitian No. 1" was officially exposed, and all major official media reported uniformly.

The whole country was shocked.

Subsequently, the huge impact brought by this chip began to spread to the entire world with lightning speed.
