Simulation: Great Power Technology

On August 6th, at 16:00, Shencheng, the joint headquarters of the chip project team.

"How is the road construction going now?"

Chen Hao, who was sitting in the chair, asked.

"At present, the basic construction surface cleaning has been completed, the building materials have entered the site, and the laying can begin immediately. It is expected that the roadbed excavation will be completed within 8 hours, and a layer of asphalt will be laid at 2:00 in the morning. If everything goes well, three layers can be completed tomorrow afternoon. Asphalt is laid, and it can be put into use after 12:00 the day after tomorrow."

"Why does it take so long between one and three coats of asphalt?"

Chen Hao frowned.

According to his previous understanding, the construction of a three-layer asphalt road does not actually take a long time, especially when there is sufficient mechanical assistance.

Now that the most difficult construction surface cleaning has been completed, and the roadbed excavation also has a lot of manpower support, why does it take so long to lay the road?

"Mr. Chen, this is the case. Now the temperature has started to drop this evening, and the speed of asphalt breaking and coagulation will be affected. This is an off-site factor that cannot be controlled."

"But we are not idle during this period of waiting. We will carry out roadbed construction. This road has to carry large heavy-duty vehicles and has high requirements on the quality of the roadbed and roadbed, so it cannot be perfunctory."

Hearing this, Chen Hao finally nodded.

"Strictly control the construction plan, if not, add more staff!"

"There is no need to add more manpower. The manpower has reached saturation, and adding more will only affect the efficiency. On the other hand, we also have control requirements for the size of the personnel. If there are more, the confidentiality work will be more difficult."

"However...the manpower is really good, but the funding is. The county-level financial funds can't handle it."

"The funding hasn't come in yet? How much is missing?"

"The budget allocation process is too long and too late. The current short payment is about 3 million."

Chen Hao fell silent. He looked around the venue for a week and looked at the person in charge of the finance department.

"Can you transfer funds urgently?"

The person in charge nodded and replied:

"There is a quota. I will transfer the money immediately, but I need a detailed account, which may take about half a day."

"Can you do it for half a day?"

Chen Hao looked at the reporter again.

"Yes, but it is best to make an emergency payment first to purchase living materials. Now the local residents are very enthusiastic, and we have received a lot of voluntary donations, but it is best to quickly settle the payment, which will cost about 200,000. "

"You can't come up with 200,000?? How did you make the budget??"

Chen Hao slammed the table.

"Mr. Chen, this time is really too urgent, and the plan was made on an ad hoc basis. We really have no choice..."

"I'll get the money, give me an account, and I'll transfer it right away."

Everyone's eyes turned to the speaker, it was Ye Zhou.

Chen Hao raised his hand and pressed it, and said:

"Don't be a jerk, it's not your turn to come out. Xiao He, go make a report and transfer money from the SASAC's logistics account, and I'll approve it!"

"Understood, let's do it right away."

After the issue of road construction was over, Chen Hao immediately organized the next issue. This kind of meeting was not like a retreat in an office. Each issue required a lot of decision-making and discussions, and Ye Zhou was also mentally exhausted.

He finally knew what Chen Hao meant when he said "he will become the busiest person".

After finally making it to the break, lunch was delivered directly to the conference table. Chen Hao walked over to Ye Zhou with a plate and sat down with a tired look on his face.

"How are you, have you adapted?"

Ye Zhou raised his head with a wry smile and replied:

"If you don't get used to it, you have to get used to it. In Huaji's words, grow up quickly on the battlefield."

"It's good to have this awareness. Your burden will become heavier and heavier, and you will surpass my position at a fast speed in the future. The pressure will be even greater, so prepare in advance."

Ye Zhou nodded, the two smiled at each other, and began to quickly put the cold lunch in their mouths.

......

On the other side of the sea, a conference room is full of senior strategic analysis consultants, and everyone has only one problem to solve:

What is Huaxia doing?

"From the current situation, we really can't find any evidence that the other party has an advantage in the negotiation. What they have in their hands is just an eda. I really don't understand why they delay the negotiation until this degree."

The speaker was a handsome white man with long hair, and his face was full of doubts.

"It's not just the negotiation, we evaluated Ye Zhou, the key player in the negotiation, and the other party also spent a huge amount of cost to maintain him. All our intelligence work has failed, and even just trying to lurk around him with a clean background. Picky agents were also dug up."

"They have a very high level of protection for Ye Zhou. As long as there are strangers approaching, they will immediately conduct a comprehensive review. We have failed several times under such review. Now I seriously suspect that this Ye Zhou is still hiding something. More secrets."

said another dark-skinned man.

He is the leader of the intelligence team, and after the recent setbacks in Ye Zhou's series of actions, he has gradually lost his patience.

"So what secrets does this Ye Zhou have, we don't know anything, what cards does the other party have in his hand, we still don't know anything?"

"Objectively, that's true."

Everyone in the conference room fell silent. After a while, a white-haired man said:

"Actually, there's no need to be so pessimistic. All the conflicts now revolve around the issue of the chip industry. No matter what the hell they are trying to do, it's impossible to break through the bottleneck of chip manufacturing. This is our absolute advantage."

"The problem we are worried about is actually that they have made breakthroughs in some specialized areas of the industry, and they will use it as a threat to force us to make concessions in the negotiation."

"According to Dr. Eisen's judgment, the most likely areas for the other party to break through are packaging and silicon wafer production. It is impossible to make breakthroughs in the key etching and wafer production links, because they cannot build a lithography machine."

"So, the worst-case scenario is that the other party uses more chips in exchange for some benefits from us, which essentially does not pose too much threat to our dominant position."

Everyone nodded in approval. They have always been full of absolute confidence in their country's scientific and technological strength. The reason why they want to go to war is only out of caution towards China, the biggest opponent.

Deep down, no one thinks Huaxia can beat them.

"What about the previous layout of Blackstone Capital? We have already called the bet and intend to take this opportunity to hit the financial market of the other party. Should we continue to short?"

The white-haired man thought for a moment and replied:

"Yes! Keep going short!"

"In the worst case, even if the other party really has a breakthrough in a single process, it will not change the reality that their industry is incomplete and cannot manufacture chips."

"In this case, the market will still crash, it will just crash later and require more hot money to hit."

"But coincidentally, we're not short of money at all!"

"So, do it with confidence. This time, we will teach them a lesson and make them suffer from non-cooperation!"
