After the plane landed in the port city, Su Yehao proposed to have a meal first.
Lin Baojian's parents' ancestral home is located in the Chaoshan area. They lived in Hong Kong City, then went to Vietnam to give birth to him, and then moved to Baodao to settle down.
Therefore, even though he has studied and worked in the United States for many years and lived there for a long time, Lin Baojian still has a special affection for Hong Kong.
In the blink of an eye, people who are already in their fifties should pay attention to returning to their roots after falling leaves.
Coupled with the setbacks in his career, he used to be a general manager in the United States and his development was not going well. Now he was hired by Su Yehao to get a high-paying job. This old gentleman was in a good mood. He spoke softly and seemed to have a very good temper.
good.
As the saying goes, the soil and water support the people.
The fellow countrymen around him, whether Yin Liuli or Zhang Rujing, have an indescribable "island style" in their personalities and ways of speaking, which are far different from the carefreeness of Hong Kong people.
Su Yehao also doesn't talk much, so when getting along with him, it's always awkward from time to time.
So on the way to the hotel, Su Yehao also called Mr. Zhang Rujing, who was busy preparing for the foundry, to have dinner with him.
These two people knew each other because of their relationship with TSMC, so they could help Lin Baojian find a fellow villager in advance, so as not to get bored in the port city and suddenly lose his mind and choose to resign and leave.
After the Rolls-Royce bulletproof vehicle was smashed, it was sent back to the UK for repairs.
The streets are full of black Rolls-Royces. It happened to be repaired, so Su Yehao asked the factory to repaint the car in a double color combination of silver and black. Until this December, the car still had not been sent back.
At this moment, I was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz Pullman that drove from Hi Garden Hotel all the way to Central.
Seeing the high-rise buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbor, Lin Baojian originally thought he was going to eat in a certain building, but unexpectedly the car turned a corner and stopped in front of a small restaurant with a signboard that read "Nine Kee Beef Brisket".
When the owner of the beef brisket shop saw Su Yehao, he immediately spoke in an exaggerated tone and said, "Wow! I haven't seen you for a long time, young master. No wonder I felt a sense of nobility just now!"
"I have something to do while traveling far away. I haven't been here for a long time. Is there a private room here?"
The boss replied: "Yes, yes! Wait a few minutes and have someone clean it up immediately. The beer that a few people threw on the street before was not drunk and pretending to be a bacchanal. I promise to have it cleaned up. You guys
Sit here first..."
Seeing Su Yehao greeting the owner of the beef brisket shop familiarly, Mr. Lin only found it interesting.
My stomach growled immediately when I smelled the aroma of beef offal from other diners' pots.
Su Yehao switched to Mandarin and asked Mr. Lin: "The environment of this store is ordinary, but the beef brisket tastes amazing. It is cooked until it is fragrant and rotten. Is it okay to eat here at night? The oxtail and beef offal are also good."
Lin Baojian waved his hand and said with a smile: "I usually eat Chinese food at home. As long as it's not too spicy, I'm fine with it."
"That's good. Wait a few minutes. The boss is cleaning up the private room. Mr. Zhang Rujing should be here soon."
"OK."
"..."
Not long.
As soon as Su Yehao went to sit down in the private room, Zhang Rujing, who was tired of traveling, rushed over. After entering the door, he put his suitcase against the wall and said with a smile: "The call came at the right time. I just came back from Japan by plane, and there was beef brisket when I landed.
You and Brother Lin haven’t seen each other for a while, right? I remember the last time was at an exchange meeting in Hsinchu?"
"Well...it must have been three or four years. I am in a different industry from you. My technical level is limited and I don't have many opportunities to communicate."
Zhang Rujing heard this and said with a smile: "If you say such things, then we will all stand aside. I have been paying attention to the paper you wrote for a long time, and there are many people in the industry who recognize it. Although the light source technology does not seem to be yours
Research expertise, but because of this, I have a unique perspective and unique ideas, which may open up a new path in the lithography machine industry."

A few years ago, Lin Baojian proposed in his paper to build an immersion lithography machine.
Nikon, Canon, ASML and other companies are currently producing dry lithography machines. They have been stuck in the field of light source technology for a long time and have been unable to find a new direction.
Fortunately, for now, the performance of the lithography machine is sufficient for the time being, so no one is willing to invest huge amounts of research and development funds and rashly switch to a new track...except for the extremely ambitious Su Yehao.
For a very uncertain possibility.
Su Yehao even dared to give a guarantee of investing one billion U.S. dollars in ten years this time. If there is a breakthrough and the funds are not enough, he can add more at any time.
Money or not, Su Yehao, who is currently worth over 10 billion US dollars, really doesn't care much anymore.
Using this money to gain a monopoly on cutting-edge lithography machines is undoubtedly a good deal for him. It is equivalent to betting on this part of the chips to make more in the future, and in turn, it will choke the necks of Europe, the United States and Japan.
.
This research and development will be funded by Su Yehao, and Canon Japan will provide technical support.
The two parties plan to jointly establish a new company, in which Canon will invest its technology and talents, accounting for 20% of the shares, without spending a dime.
no way.
Although Canon's photolithography machines only rank second in the market, with nearly half of the market share taken away by Nikon, in terms of patents and talent, they are still not comparable to Su Yehao.
If you want to save time and avoid detours, you have no choice but to get Canon to join the team.
Had it not been for the help of Mr. Jincheng from Daiichi Quanye Securities, who reportedly treated their executives to several meals and carefully analyzed the truth behind the three holes of a cunning rabbit, otherwise even if Su Yehao was willing to give shares to Canon, Canon might not be willing to agree.
As mentioned before, these Japanese companies regard the patented technology at the bottom of the box as more important than their lives.
The reason why Canon agreed to the joint venture was that, firstly, the photolithography machine business accounted for a small proportion of Canon's revenue and profits; secondly, because Su Yehao wanted to take advantage of the pie and used the purchase order for black diamond mobile phone digital cameras as bait; thirdly, not only did it not cost
It makes money and can also earn patent fees for technology licensing. Fourthly, Nikon's technology has surpassed Canon's, and the second one is considered to be a fast Buddha.
Mobile phones with camera functions have not yet appeared, but related concepts have appeared on the market, and many companies are working on research and development.
For example, Sharp Corporation has jointly established a research and development department with South Korea's Samsung.
Canon is also quite optimistic about this new business. It involves the field of digital cameras, which is what it is good at. It is worried that there is no suitable partner for cooperation. Su Yehao's Black Diamond Mobile Phone Company came out first and offered to cooperate in development.
Allocate most of the R&D funds.
There are both intangible benefits and practical benefits. Faced with Su Yehao's money-making ability, even Canon's senior executives could not withstand it.
There is no way, he is too sincere.
Kinjo Kento personally made his white gloves and gave away a total of 900 million yen, completely eliminating the last reason for rejection...
Nine Kee Beef Brisket in Central.
A large pot of beef brisket was quickly served on the table, with some tripe and oxtail in it, specially added by Su Yehao.
Eat and drink.
Su Yehao was able to interrupt at first, but as Lin Baojian and Zhang Rujing got more excited about chatting, he gradually began to lose his understanding and immersed himself in eating.
This time I went to the Maldives to eat seafood first, and then stayed in Silicon Valley for more than ten days. I was totally confused, otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen a brisket restaurant...
