Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Yanjing, Yingdu Business Building, Longteng Technology Yanjing Office.

"...The situation is probably like this. If everyone can accept it, we will sign an order."

In the conference room, Kang Chi first re-introduced the performance of Qinguang-1, explaining their current project progress, production capacity and the date when it can be officially delivered.

After listening to Kang Chi's introduction, the wafer fab executives present frowned. Qiu Zhongyuan was the first to speak: "Can't we build twenty units every year? Why does the earliest delivery date have to wait until the end of the year?"

"Sorry, I have to satisfy our own internal needs first."

Internal demand?

When they heard that Kangchi directly showed off his plans and stated that he would enter wafer manufacturing, the expressions of these people changed slightly again.

This is no different than the referee leaving the field to play football!

"Mr. Kang has spread the company's stall so big, can he be busy?" Qiu Zhongyuan couldn't help but said, "In fact, you can ask us to do the manufacturing, and maybe the cost will be lower than building it yourself?"

Regarding Qiu Zhongyuan's suggestion, Kang Chi just smiled lightly: "Don't worry, my main purpose of building the wafer fab is only to meet our own internal chip needs and will not pose a threat to your existing business."

After hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

But Qiu Zhongyuan caught a key word mentioned by Kang Chi,

Existing business!

This means that if there is new demand in the market, he will not guarantee that he will not enter the market.

And this new demand will definitely explode with the emergence of EUV lithography machines.

For example, the CMOS chip manufacturing technology currently mastered by Daqin Optics, as well as the GPU field that is currently relatively blank in China...

However, the market in China is so big. With the emergence of photolithography machines, the market cake will definitely become bigger. Even if one more referee enters the scene, they will definitely get more cake than before.

Therefore, although Qiu Zhongyuan had doubts, he still did not raise any objections.

And he can't stop people from doing whatever they want. If they really offend him, they might even stop selling the lithography machines to them...

In fact, in addition to meeting his own needs first, Kangchi also promised Dong Jianyuan to give priority to selling a few units to Shencheng Silicon Industry.

Kang Chi still has a favorable impression of Shanghai's silicon industry, especially Dong Jianyuan.

On the other hand, looking at the people at SMIC, Kangchi has always been a bit disgusted.

In fact, in that difficult era, shopping malls were like battlefields, and intrigues and intrigues were nothing.

This is why Kang Chi hates capital, especially foreign capital.

I don’t even have the right to be independent. I just think about protecting myself all day long.

Even if it can be developed, it will be essentially the same as Sanxingtai Electromechanical.

Therefore, in this purchasing meeting, Kangchi directly limited one unit to each company.

If you want a second unit, you can wait until the first batch is delivered.

Moreover, the order of delivery is also determined by drawing lots, which is fair to every company.

Among the nine companies, SMIC unfortunately ranked eighth.

Qiu Zhongyuan's heart dropped when he saw the number on the signature.

This means that SMIC will not be able to receive the goods until the middle of next year, and a photolithography machine is completely thirsty.

Just when Qiu Zhongyuan was about to say something, a man in neat military uniform suddenly walked in.

Everyone, including Kang Chi, couldn't help but have some changes in their expressions.

No wonder no one outside dares to stop...

"Hello Dr. Kang, I am Cai Yaobin from the Equipment Department. You can call me Director Cai."

Cai Yaobin gave Kang Chi a military salute, and then continued: "We plan to purchase five Qinguang Ones from your company, and hope you can deliver them as soon as possible."

As expected of a member of the military, he speaks with toughness!

Although he said to deliver it as soon as possible, everyone present could tell that it was clearly meant to be delivered first!

Of course, no one dares to object to this kind of queue-jumping behavior.

As for Kang Chi…

Anyway, I sell it to anyone.

Suddenly there were 4.95 billion more orders, what else is there to say?

He had no choice but to lightly shrug his shoulders at Qiu Zhongyuan and others, then turned back to Cai Yaobin and replied, "No problem."

"Well, also... I'd like to talk to you privately."

——

After handing over the signing work to Fang Qiming, Kang Chi took Cai Yaobin to a small reception room.

"Director Cai, do you want tea or something?"

"Do not bother."

Cai Yaobin shook his head, then took out a small instrument from his suitcase and started scanning the reception room.

Kang Chi reminded somewhat speechlessly: "This reception room was handled by comrades from Hua'an."

"Just in case."

After Cai Yaobin insisted on completing the scan, he sat opposite Kang Chi, put the instrument back into the suitcase, and took out a red dot holographic sight from it and placed it on the table.

"This is?"

"Does Dr. Kang not recognize your company's products?"

Kang Chi immediately picked up the scope and looked at it, and found that it indeed had the Daqin Optics logo on it.

Good guy,

Although this matter was discussed in a meeting before, I didn't expect that this kid Fang Qiming actually built this thing without saying a word...

More importantly,

We even recruited people from the military!

So panicked!

But then I thought, if it was illegal to build this thing, it wouldn't be Cai Yaobin who came, but the police uncle.

"Well... this is what my subordinates do for fun. I also know about this. Is there any problem?"

Are the people below doing it for fun?

Hearing this answer, Cai Yaobin was slightly disappointed.

Originally, he thought Kang Chi was also interested in making military equipment, but now it seems that he is just being sentimental...

However, this also shows that Daqin Optics’ R\u0026D team, besides Kang Chi, also has other talented people.

"It's not a problem."

Cai Yaobin smiled and said:

"It's such a good thing, it's a pity to sell it to the M countryman, so I'm going to let you help us make the sight, but the standard of the metal material may be higher than this."

It turns out that the order has been placed!

Kang Chi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "This is easy to say, I will definitely give you a better price!"

"The price doesn't matter. How much you sell it to Country M is the same as how much we pay. We will never let you make a loss-making business."

"???"

Kang Chi was also a little baffled when he heard Cai Yaobin's reverse bargaining.

"Dr. Kang...actually I have a question I want to ask you."

"Well, you say."

"Do you have any plans to sell your company's products abroad in the future?"

"Of course there is. Isn't this a sight? We also sell silicon wafers."

"Then have you ever thought about what would happen if country M sanctions your company and prevents them from buying your products?"

Kang Chi thought for a moment and then said, "Director Cai, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"History has taught us a painful lesson. If you don't have enough strength, let alone make money by selling products, you may not even be able to keep your own wealth."

Kang Chi immediately understood the meaning of his words.

History definitely refers to the two dental wars,

At that time, the Western powers experienced two industrial revolutions and their productivity was greatly improved.

However, their domestic market was relatively small and could not meet the needs of dumping goods, so they used strong ships and cannons to forcibly open the gates of the Qing Dynasty.

The purpose is to use their cheap products, even dental tablets, to harvest China's rich resources and wealth.

In fact, after China has become the world's factory, it is not necessarily easy to sell many products.

Usually you can do it only when others ask you to sell it.

Not allowed to be sold...

Although he can't restrict your exports, he can use hegemony to directly silence buyers. In the end, even if the goods are shipped out, no one will dare to buy them at cabbage prices.

And usually let you sell it,

Either the core technology is their product, and you are just an OEM assembly factory, and you will always earn only hard-earned money.

Or it’s something that has no technical content at all and doesn’t make much money.

For example, clothes, shoes, agricultural products, furniture, toys, etc., many of which are outdated products used by the great powers to harvest wealth in the past two centuries...

As for Daqin Optics, a lithography machine with its own core technology, even if the price is cheaper than ASML, Taiwan Electromechanical and Samsung would definitely not dare to buy it without the consent of their father, M.

The same goes for silicon wafers.

And this problem is likely to become more and more serious with the upgrading and transformation of the industry.
