That night, at Nick Reilly's castle, Jin Xiaoqiang received the most "warm" hospitality. Nick arranged for him to sleep with two ocean horses. Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang did not refuse.

Anyway, these are high-end maids paid by Nick Reilly. If he doesn't use them, it would be a waste. Besides, he is not a moral gentleman. It's really a waste to leave such delicious fat without eating it.

It might stifle him.

After tossing with two hot foreign girls until midnight, Jin Xiaoqiang fell into a deep sleep. The anger he had held in for several months finally vented, but the two girls had already been turned into mud by him.

..

When Jin Xiaoqiang woke up early the next morning, he was told by the housekeeper that Mr. Nick had gone out, but he asked Jin Xiaoqiang to continue to live in his house today and wait for him to come back in the evening to see if he could bring any good news.

Anyway, there was nothing going on. Jin Xiaoqiang decided to simply stay overnight at Nick's house tonight. However, he was not idle during the day. Instead of continuing to take care of this chick and continue to vent, he would give him another chance in Greenway.

Call the management staff.

During this period, according to his instructions, Brian and the others were not satisfied with their gains in the natural gas market some time ago and exited the market.

Instead, it followed Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions and continued to lurk in this market. According to Jin Xiaoqiang's instructions, Thunderbird Company behaved very low-key during this period and did not attack everywhere.

Brian also sent more people to investigate and monitor the movements of Amarans Company, intending to follow them and take a serious bite.

After all, Amarans has become the most dazzling star in the natural gas market last year. They swept everything in the natural gas market at the end of last year and made huge profits.

The total assets have increased several times from the original one billion to fifty to six billion. Even Thunderbird Company, if calculated based on pure profit, probably does not earn as much as Amarans.

Much more.

After all, not every company leader is the leader of Amarans. Not everyone is a lunatic like Brian and Hunter. Not everyone dares to be like him. As soon as he goes to the casino and stands in front of the gambling table, he dares to shout

Stud!

Jin Xiaoqiang feels that if he remembers correctly, then in the summer of a few years, Amarans' hype will be even more crazy, and the price of natural gas will be pushed up by Amarans' crazy gambling.

to a new level.

Of course he had to catch such a ride and make a lot of money. After paying back the principal and interest of the two billion US dollars taken out of the bank, he would still have some money left.

Billions of dollars are available.

He got all this money from the U.S. capital market with nothing. In this country that is already crazy about capital, he certainly doesn't mind letting this share capital multiply several times, and the price will rise even more.

Be more powerful.

Amarans made a lot of money during the natural gas sniper war in July this year, but in the next two months, they will pay the price for their greed.

Nine billion in funds were lost in the end. If you didn't take a bite of such a big piece of fat, you would be really sorry for yourself.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang will certainly not miss the opportunity to let Thunderbird Company participate in this century war. In the two Amaranth sniper battles in the middle and autumn of this year, such a good opportunity to make a fortune, I am afraid that no one else would be able to make a fortune.

Won't choose to miss it.

After explaining things on the phone with several senior executives of Thunderbird Company, Jin Xiaoqiang received another call from Alice. Alice's call put Jin Xiaoqiang in a good mood for the whole day.

The news Alice brought was very simple, that is, Matt and Professor Edwards will come to New York to meet with Jin Xiaoqiang tomorrow morning, and the good news they brought is that they have already made progress in the manufacturing of new solar panels.

A certain breakthrough has been achieved.

Hearing such news, how could Jin Xiaoqiang not feel happy, considering that he had not paid much attention to this company since he left Australia last time.

After the two parties reached an agreement that year to establish a solar panel production company, almost what he did every year was to take a look at the company's annual budget report at the end of each year, and then take out his check.

Make a book and put money in it.

This solar panel production company has hardly sold a single panel since its establishment more than two years ago, but Jin Xiaoqiang requires him to invest a large amount of money in it every year.

So far, Jin Xiaoqiang has successively invested more than 300 million US dollars in research and development funds into this company. Now Matt and Edwards finally brought him good news, that is, their

Solar turbocharging technology seems to be almost ready to be developed.

Before you know it, time is no longer as good as 2006. At the beginning of this year, mankind finally made a breakthrough in the application of lithium batteries. And next year, lithium batteries for mobile phones will become overwhelmingly popular.

What is coming next will be the era of intelligent mobile phones. Apple's master Steve Jobs is no longer satisfied with just making computers and MP3 players. He has begun to plan to extend his tentacles into the field of mobile phones.

And in June 2007, Apple's first-generation mobile phone, iphone, was officially launched in the United States.

An era of mobile phone giants is coming.

And another era of the end of the mobile phone dynasty will also begin.

Jin Xiaoqiang, who is familiar with the historical trend, is very clear that in this battle for hegemony in the mobile phone world, the current dominance of the mobile phone industry, Jiutianwen Network, will no longer be limited to the computer desk, but will follow the

What a compact mobile phone that can be transferred to any location.

The emergence of the iPhone not only played the role of Nokia's gravedigger, it also brought about an earth-shaking reshuffle to the entire world's mobile phone industry.

It can even be said that his influence was not only on the mobile communications industry, but also brought a reshuffle to the entire world of electronics manufacturers.

HTC, a grassroots company, took advantage of the situation, and Samsung, which had been silent, became the second in the world a few years later, while all major Japanese brands were completely defeated in this battle for hegemony.

Motorola and Nokia have lost money to Macheng, Nec, and Panasonic, and they were even kicked out of the mobile phone manufacturing industry. The high performance of mobile phones, such as the embedding of high-definition cameras, even led to the demise of Kodak in the United States.

In the next few years, there will be a earth-shaking revolution in electronic technology. As a veteran, how Jin Xiaoqiang can win the most favorable position for himself in this revolution is what matters to him.

The most important thing.

The current breakthroughs made by Matt and Edwards in this new type of solar panel are the best signal for Jin Xiaoqiang.

Although their main target is solar cell technology, Jin Xiaoqiang is more concerned about another technology they have, which is the photolithography machine, as well as their silicon wafer chemical etching and laser cutting technology.

In the past few years, Jin Xiaoqiang has been quietly providing them with various supports, but in fact, in his heart, he has always been a bit drunk and does not care about drinking.

The solar panel technology that Matt and Edwards have devoted all their efforts to research is actually cutting silicon wafers, and then dividing the silicon wafers into seven silicon wafers of different sizes, and then passing these silicon wafers through a process similar to printing.

Technology, they are flattened and pasted on the panel, so that this kind of solar cell has a higher photoelectric conversion rate, becomes more lightweight, smaller in size and lower in cost.

This is the direction they have devoted all their efforts to research, but what Jin Xiaoqiang is actually more concerned about is the equipment they use, which is the first photolithography machine.

This photolithography machine is said to be the most complex equipment in the equipment manufacturing industry. It is even hailed as one of the greatest inventions of mankind in the 20th century. It is precisely because of this gadget that people can cut those silicon crystals into pieces, and then

Breaking down into tiny chips.

However, like other high-tech equipment in the world, this thing was also imposed by foreign companies who joined forces to implement a strict embargo on China.

It is precisely the lack of technology in this area that makes my country's electronic chip field lag behind the world by more than an era.

But the last time he visited Matt and Edwards' laboratory in Australia, Jin Xiaoqiang saw such a photolithography machine in their laboratory.

At that time, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't know much about this stuff, but after returning to China, especially after establishing that he wanted to get a share of the electronic equipment manufacturing industry in the future, Jin Xiaoqiang worked hard to study the electronic equipment manufacturing industry.

But the final conclusion is that whether it is a silicon crystal growth furnace or chip manufacturing, this kind of photolithography machine is inseparable from the final step.

At present, the most expert experts in the production and manufacturing of this kind of photolithography machines are ASML in the Netherlands, followed by Nikon and Canon in Japan.

However, the one with the best performance is undoubtedly ASML from the Netherlands. Even Intel in the United States is using their equipment. Unfortunately, the price of this thing is not low internationally. Take the currently most mainstream ASML 300mm dual-body scanning type.

A photolithography machine also costs 50-60 million euros.

The most important thing is that if you come to China to buy such a machine, even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it, so Jin Xiaoqiang has to find other ways to get these things.

Matt and Edwards' laboratory and the new solar cell manufacturing factory became his best cover.

In the past two years, three to four hundred million US dollars have been allocated to this company one after another. On the one hand, it provides funds for technology research and development to this company, and on the other hand, it quietly purchases from the Netherlands or Japan.

This kind of photolithography machine.

The Dutch ASML lithography machine has stable performance, low failure rate, and the best resolution and accuracy, but the Japanese lithography machine is not much worse than the Dutch one.

But just having this kind of machine does not mean that you can play with it. You must also be familiar with the hype of this kind of machine, and consider that if it is quietly smuggled into China in the future, if the machine breaks down,

You also need to know how to repair and do daily maintenance, etc.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang has long sent many technicians from China to Australia to help Matt and Edwards with the research and development of solar energy technology. On the other hand, they are familiar with the hype of this kind of machine, as well as daily maintenance and other tasks.

He even sent a group of engineers to Australia to obtain an obsolete photolithography machine from the laboratory, conduct dismantling research, and understand the manufacturing process and principles of this photolithography machine.

After more than two years of hard work, the experience engineers he sent out finally have their own experience and understanding of lithography machines. Although they are currently unable to produce them due to various comprehensive technical limitations.

They need their own lithography machine, but at the very least, their engineers have mastered the repair and post-maintenance workflow for some minor failures encountered by the lithography machine.

Currently in the field of electronic chips or integrated circuits, if you want to get involved, it means investing sky-high funds, such as this photolithography machine. If you want to build an integrated circuit factory, then at least you

It costs fifty or sixty.

The price of one unit is 50 to 60 million euros. Now in 2005, the exchange rate of the euro is very strong. It is not the euro that will be troubled by the conservative European debt crisis a few years later.

So if you count fifty or sixty units, the investment in photolithography machines alone will probably cost billions of dollars. This is also the main reason why the cost of building a chip factory will become larger and larger in the future.

Think about how Intel and AMD will spend billions or even tens of billions of dollars just to invest in building a new factory in a few years. You can understand the capital intensity and technology intensity of this industry.

The level of terror.

But this kind of chip manufacturing industry is the core technology in the electronics field. Therefore, for people like Jin Xiaoqiang who either don't do it or want to be the best if they want to step into this field, then

Of course, it is better to plan in advance.

In the field of photolithography machines, Jin Xiaoqiang has already begun to prepare for rainy days, and in the field of silicon wafer cutting, he started even earlier.

The chemical etching technology and laser cutting technology in the hands of Matt and Edwards have been patented early, but they have not yet been widely used.

And in a few years, in the era of turmoil in the electronics industry, these technologies will be carried forward in his factory!
