I'm Doing Scientific Research In A Junior College. What Are You Afraid Of, Yingjiang?

Soon, all semiconductor companies in Long Country received notices from ASML.

ASML stated that the DUV lithography machines that were previously ordered but seized can now be shipped.

But the price of all photolithography machines will increase by 50%!

And you must pay first!

In the business field, this is almost equivalent to an overlord clause!

But after the semiconductor industry in Long Kingdom heard the news, they were all ecstatic!

It’s also very sad to say.

Other people's most advanced products will not be sold to you alive or dead, and the products of a backward generation will also go back on their promises and will not be shipped after receiving your money. Finally, he said that he would have to increase the price by 50% before selling it to you.

How humble this is!

A large country's industrial chain worth trillions has been manipulated by a foreign company.

This is the price that must be paid for industrial backwardness!

But many media in the "087" Dragon Kingdom don't think so.

They were extremely excited.

A series of reports.

[ASML continues to supply DUV lithography machines to Longguo Company!]

[ASML said no to Yingjiang! DUV lithography machines are not allowed to be sold to Longguo? Tulip Congress will firmly resist it!]

[Why does Tulip ASML dare to refuse the Eagle Sauce ban and export DUV lithography machines to Longguo?]

[ASML does not want to lose Longguo’s market and will export DUV lithography machines to Longguo semiconductor companies at all costs!]

In the view of these media, ASML bravely said no to Yingjiang for the sake of Longguo's market, and then exported DUV lithography machines to Longguo.

Little did he know, this was originally part of Eagle Sauce's plan.

Otherwise, why not export the most advanced EUV lithography machines and only export mid-UV lithography machines?

Isn’t it because Longguo is currently developing DUV lithography machines, and they want to use this method to make Longguo give up research and development?

However, ASML's willingness to ship DUV lithography machines still makes Longguo's semiconductor companies very happy.

Semiconductor chip projects such as Chengdu GlobalFoundries Chip, Wucheng Hongxin Semiconductor, Sioux City Deco Semiconductor, and Jiangcheng Times Core are currently shutting down due to lack of photolithography machines.

Although the price of DUV lithography machines has increased by 50%, you still have to bite the bullet and buy it! This is better than all the trillions of investments in the early stage being wasted.

ASML company saw this clearly and knew that many half-built semiconductor projects in Longguo lacked photolithography machines, so they took advantage of this situation!

But there is no other way. These companies in Longguo can only continue with a smile.

Broken teeth and swallowed with blood!

ASML company here has just announced that it can ship DUV lithography machines to Longguo Semiconductor Company, and some commentators in the technology community over there have come out to clamor.

[Let me just say that ASML is a reasonable company and will not stop doing business because of some semiconductor ban. Some people have persecution paranoia. They always feel that foreign companies are targeting them and do not deliver goods to them. Isn’t this just delivery? So let’s not think as bad as others think!]

[Now that ASML has shipped DUV lithography machines, there is no need for us to continue research and development, right? China Overseas Microelectronics spent so much money and so much time, and the research failed! I will continue to buy ASM’s products A photolithography machine would be fine. 】

[There is indeed a problem with the mentality of some people. They want to make everything by themselves. People like Bangguo and Yingjiang don’t even think about making their own lithography machines! ASML’s lithography machines are supplied to the world. We have to spend huge sums of money to build them ourselves. There is absolutely no need to develop a product with worse performance]

[Continuing to develop DUV lithography machines is a waste of the country’s money! It is better to use this money in more useful places! 】

[If you have the ability, just develop EUV lithography machines. Why should we develop such a backward product like DUV lithography machine?】

Sure enough, as Yingjiang expected, once ASML announced that it could export DUV lithography machines, some people in Longguo jumped out and said that they should not continue to develop DUV lithography machines.

Why spend so much money and energy on developing this backward product? Can't you just buy it directly? Although the price of ASML has increased, it is still cheaper than developing it from scratch, right?

A typical mentality of making is worse than buying.

Some people think that we should directly develop EUV lithography machines.

But they don’t know that research and development must be done step by step. Without the foundation of DUV lithography machine, how can we develop EUV lithography machine?

Unless you are like a college or university, they have a system.

For a time, orders for DUV lithography machines floated to ASML like snowflakes.

ASML's stock is climbing...

The executives were all beaming.

"Do you think these companies in Longguo are cheap? We raised the price by 50%, but they didn't even pay back the price and kept placing orders!"

"They are not cheap, but they don't dare to bargain at all. They have invested so much cost before, but if they don't have a lithography machine, it will all be in vain. If you have a lithography machine, it is good to buy it, but you still care about the price?"

"You see they are rushing to place orders. They are afraid that they will not be able to buy it if it is too late. They don't care about the price. They are afraid that Yingjiang will change its policy again and won't let them buy it."

ASML President Van Fatt said with a smile: "This time, Eagle Sauce has damaged Longguo's determination to develop lithography machines. We cleared the inventory of DUV lithography machines, made a lot of money, and the stock price rose. This is simply a win-win situation!" Eagle Sauce wins once, we win once, and the world where only Dragon Kingdom is injured is achieved!"

Han Yue's high school class group has been discussing the semiconductor industry in the past few days.

Those who believe that DUV lithography machines should continue to be developed, and those who believe that it is better to build them than to buy them, have a very fierce argument.

After the quarrel, someone suddenly asked.

"Have you seen Han Yue come out these days? I haven't seen him for many days."

"Didn't Han Yue rarely show up in the class group? He came out a few times when he was the vice principal some time ago. I don't know what he is busy with now.

Pei Chenyi was acting strangely again.

"Han Yue is now the vice principal, and we are still ordinary freshmen, and we are no longer on the same level as 4.5. Of course, I am too lazy to talk to you."

"Pei Chenyi, don't be so arrogant. Han Yue has never looked down on you. On the contrary, you have been mocking him openly and secretly after he passed the junior college entrance examination. Later, he made scientific research results and became the vice principal. When you mention him, your words are full of anger. Sour water." Fang Xiaoying was very angry at Pei Chenyi's words.

"Han Yue must be busy with business. Now he has to study, do scientific research, be the vice principal, and must also manage. Naturally, he doesn't have as much time as us." Ye Jingting also said.

At this time, Han Yue, who was being discussed by his high school classmates, was standing on a small platform in the center of the factory.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

I finally finished debugging the extreme ultraviolet light source, the core component of the EUV lithography machine.

The next step is to light it up!
