Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

Lin Benjian's days as general manager of the branch were not very satisfactory.

He had worked at IBM for so many years and always felt that this job was very stable and interesting and could be done for a lifetime.

But recently he changed his view.

Because of the "microlithography route dispute", his relationship with the entire group became sparks.

The progress of microlithography is the key technology that holds the entire semiconductor lithography process hostage, determines the size of the chip, and recommends chip upgrades.

At this time, the chip industry, including IBM, is working hard to tackle dry method or X-ray microlithography.

Except for Lin Benjian, he firmly believes that ultraviolet light is the best breakthrough point.

He realized that being sent to the branch was not a promotion, but a transfer of him from the core R&D position.

The days in the branch were very unsatisfactory, equivalent to "exile".

The persistent Lin Benjian once begged his boss to give him more R&D funds:

"If you give me one-tenth of the funds of the X-ray department, I can achieve results ten times more than theirs!"

The result attracted the boss's contempt:

"Our competitors are all promoting X-rays, and we can't fall behind."

Every time a technical staff meeting was held, on one side was the elite X-ray department, and on the other side was the lonely Lin Benjian.

"I am obviously right, why is the boss unwilling to support me?

X-ray operation is difficult, accidents happen at any time, and the upper limit is low, why doesn't anyone trust me?"

But he didn't feel that he was alone, because he had a pen pal who was also in the semiconductor industry.

The two often exchanged views through emails.

Thinking of this, he opened his email and found a letter from Qiu Mingxiang in the mailbox.

The first sentence that caught my eye was:

"Benjian, in the face of your troubles, I want to say that I was also out of tune with others when I was in college at Stanford, because I could always come up with different opinions from them. I would not expect them to recognize me, I would only play with people who recognized me.

After graduation, it was the same. I returned to my motherland and joined my close friend Wang Lei, who is now my boss.

Facts have proved that I was right..."

"I have a life motto for you, dream impossible dreams, fight enemies that cannot be defeated, and endure sorrow that cannot be endured!"

After seeing this sentence, Lin Benjian murmured to himself, and felt more and more that it was time to leave IBM.

The mountains don't turn, the water turns.

Lin Benjian finally moved his heart to leave IBM.

This is the company he has worked for for more than 20 years, but once he decided to leave, he started writing a resignation letter without stopping.

What made him heartbroken was that the boss agreed to his application without any hesitation.

Looking at the cabinet full of certificates, awards, and a pile of documents left by the patent application, Lin Benjian sighed deeply.

There was no farewell party, no department dinner, and no one came to see him off.

Lin Benjian walked out of the company's gate alone, holding the cardboard box.

Just as he was stunned, the sound of a car beeping woke him up.

"Mr. Lin Benjian?"

"Who are you?"

He looked at the man in a suit with a face full of flesh and buttons that were about to burst with caution, but after seeing the other person's skin color, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"My name is Liu Hu. I am the driver and bodyguard of boss Wang Lei. He knows that you are leaving today, so he asked me to pick you up."

"Wang Lei? The boss of Peninsula Technology, how did he know that I left?"

Liu Hu laughed:

"There is nothing in this world that my boss doesn't know."

"Mr. Lin, please get in the car. I, Liu Hu, am a rough man, but I also understand that if you don't stay here, there will be other places to stay."

Lin Benjian nodded:

"You make sense. Please give me a ride."

Liu Hu got in the car and found that this car was not ordinary low-key luxury.

"Is this boss Wang's car?"

"Yes, he asked me to treat you well.

In order to entertain you, he specially asked the butler to open the Maotai he had collected for many years."

Such courtesy made Lin Benjian a little uncomfortable.

As a dragon descendant, who doesn't know the name of the third son of Wang? With his wealth and status, he doesn't need to please him, an ordinary technician.

This kind of attention was something that IBM, where he had worked for half his life, had never given him.

After Liu Hu drove into the wealthy area of ​​Manhattan, New York, the car stopped in front of a manor.

In Manhattan, which is full of tall buildings, there is such a hidden mansion.

After crossing the park, Lin Benjian finally met Wang Lei in person.

He was chatting and laughing with a young man with a Taiwan accent.

"Mr. Lin, come here quickly, let me introduce you, this is Yang Zhiyuan, who is half of my junior. He gave up Stanford'sstudies, and now he has his own search engine company in Silicon Valley. "

"Zhiyuan, nice to meet you, I am..."

"I know, I know, you are an expert in the microfilm industry, please take a seat, please take a seat."

Yang Zhiyuan likes to make friends by nature, and he is very popular in the student union. He is famous for his sociability.

"Benjian, I know you are unhappy, so I found Zhiyuan who can liven up the atmosphere to accompany you. Let's forget all the unhappiness today, and we won't go home until we are drunk today!"

Lin Benjian was moved and said worriedly:

"I haven't told my family yet."

"Don't worry, I have informed my sister-in-law, and she allows you to indulge yourself for a day."

Lin Benjian raised his glass. Although there was no farewell party, he had no regrets in his heart because his new boss personally welcomed him.

...

A few days later, at the New York airport.

"Boss, there is no need to see you off. Go back and have a rest. "

Lin Benjian looked embarrassed because Wang Lei had been sending him off again and again, all the way from home to the boarding gate, and almost personally sent him to Hong Kong City.

"It's okay, I'm just an idle person."

Wang Lei didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw his private plane take off and fly to Hong Kong City.

Talents are hard to come by, and geniuses are even harder to come by.

The reason why he watched so closely was that he was afraid that Lin Benjian would be abducted by TSMC.

Byers of Peninsula Technology encountered a technical bottleneck in the research and development of lithography machines.

Wang Lei placed all his hopes on Lin Benjian.

He hoped that his arrival would bring some good changes to Peninsula Technology.

IBM didn't realize that letting Lin Benjian go made them miss an opportunity to lead technology again.

They didn't realize at all Lin Benjian will subvert the entire lithography industry.

Many years later, Peninsula developed the next generation of lithography machines, and IBM still has people using X-rays to make 250 nanometer processes.

Because the technology is seriously lagging behind and cannot be mass-produced, it has to give up this technology.

On the other hand, the news of ASML's additional issuance of targeted new shares immediately shocked the entire investment community.

In an interview with the financial newspaper Fortune, Smith announced that he would issue 70 million new shares in a targeted manner.

"The research and development of 157-nanometer dry lithography machines has reached a critical moment. As long as the research and development is successful, ASML will have no rivals!"

His words made the entire semiconductor industry turn their attention to ASML, and they are all eager to try, hoping to get a share of it.

Now is the bull market for technology stocks, and almost all big capitals with names have joined this chase.
