Renouf slept until noon the next day, then woke up in a daze. He glanced out the window through the porthole, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called to his men: "Oberhardt, Asain,
Wake up, wake up!"
Oberhardt and Asain were dreaming about eating sandwiches, and saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths all over the pillow. When they heard Renouf's shout, they opened their eyes slightly and asked angrily: "Why?
La?"
"How long did we sleep?" Renouf asked.
"Who knows, are we going to have to rush to the committee to go to work today?" Oberhardt said, "I really hope the committee can get us a helicopter so that we don't have to stay on this damn Chinese cargo ship.
.”
Renouf ignored Oberhardt's complaint. He raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist and said, "We slept for 18 hours. Did either of you wake up during this time?"
"Eighteen hours?" Asain rubbed his eyes and said, "That was a perfect sleep. It seems that Chinese noodles have a hypnotic effect. Mr. Renouf, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If it's okay, I plan to go back to sleep again."
Take a nap."
Renouf yelled: "Asshole, the committee didn't send us here to let us sleep on the ship. Our task is to supervise whether the Chinese have shipped equipment back to China. Get up and see if it's a Chinese port outside."
!”
Oberhardt and Asain reluctantly got up from the bed, walked out of the cabin slowly, and went to the deck to see that there was no Chinese port. As far as they could see, there was the vast sea.
Not even a ship could be seen. Oberhard turned around and said to Renouf, who was also standing outside: "Mr. Renouf, it seems that you slept well too. You can actually dream about the Chinese port."
"I highly suspect that while they were sleeping for us, they docked at a certain port and unloaded the equipment." Renouf said. He is indeed a hardcore European chauvinist, and even if he fell asleep, it would not affect him.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Weihao, Wang Zheyi and the others would use direct transshipment by sea.
The three people walked to the cargo hold and looked up. The pile of containers was still in place. Oberhardt stepped forward and lifted the felt cloth and took a look. He shook his head and said: "Head, these things are all there.
Just don’t worry.”
"Didn't they change the container at a certain port last night?" Renouf said.
Asain stretched himself and said: "Mr. Renouf, you'd better look at the chart. This place is in the middle of the ocean. You can't even find a small island within 1,000 nautical miles around. You let the Chinese
Where can I find a port? This is a ship, not a plane."
"That's it..." Renouf was relieved. When he was in middle school, his geography class was taught by a physical education teacher, and there was no concept of location. After hearing what Asain said, he began to realize that it would take one night to
It seems impossible to drive to a certain port to unload the cargo and then drive back to the middle of the ocean.
He stepped forward and, like Oberhardt, lifted the felt cloth and carefully inspected the pile of containers. In the end, he could not see any flaws. During the days when the equipment was being packed, due to Wang Zheyi's interruption, he could not find any flaws at all.
He didn't have the opportunity to get close to the scene, so he couldn't understand the details of these containers. Even if the replaced containers were slightly different from the previous ones, he couldn't tell.
"Oberhardt, I think we need to put a mark on the containers. If the Chinese want to replace these containers, we can find out in time." Renouf became a little vigilant, but he didn't know that the principle of making up for it before it was too late was useless here.
Yes. Because the sheep Qin Hai wanted had long been carried by the wolf and flew away.
During the rest of the journey, Wang Zheyi continued to make things difficult for Renouf and others. The food on the ship was still according to Chinese tastes, without any regard for Renouf and his companions' mood. Only when they were really hungry,
Only the chef would make noodles for them with a smile on his face, which was considered as saving their lives. Such a lifestyle of starving for a few days and then eating a full meal is really not healthy. After more than 20 days of travel, Lei
The stomachs of Nuf and others were completely destroyed.
The ship arrived in Peru. The large flatbed truck that had been arranged was waiting at the dock to load the containers one by one and transport them to the factory, where they were then unpacked and assembled. What was inside the containers was a batch of goods that Qin Hai had collected from nowhere.
The appearance of the old equipment has been processed, and it is quite similar to the original equipment of the Nice Company. Renouf and others were not familiar with semiconductor equipment, so they preliminarily recognized it when they saw that it was removed from the container.
.
The installation of the equipment is not complicated. After Renouf and others waited for the equipment to be installed in place, they took out the beacons from their suitcases and installed them one by one on the fixed positions of the equipment. With these beacons, if the equipment needs to be moved,
, will be discovered immediately. If you want to remove these beacons, you can only use violent means, which will also trigger the signal.
Wang Zheyi watched Renouf and the others jumping up and down, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and said: "If you old Europe can use these smart energy on the right path, you don't have to worry so much about being threatened by China. You can rely on blockade technology to maintain your advantage.
, sooner or later you will be left behind."
Renouf was numb to Wang Zheyi's sarcastic words. He did not answer Wang Zheyi's words, but asked instead: "Ms. Wang, why is your factory so desolate? I can't seem to see any workers who are ready to start work."
"It's very simple. Our factory hasn't been built yet, so how can we use any workers?" Wang Zheyi said.
"Then when can you start production?" Renouf asked again.
"God knows." Wang Zheyi replied bluntly, "We still need to continue to purchase other auxiliary equipment. I heard that some officials in the EU are not doing their job and are specifically causing trouble for companies, so we don't know when we will be able to purchase all these equipment.
Woolen cloth."
"We are not causing trouble for you, we are just carrying out normal supervision procedures!" Renouf said angrily.
"We very much welcome Mr. Renouf to implement these supervision procedures and hope that we can have a pleasant sea journey with Mr. Renouf next time." Wang Zheyi said with a smile.
Renouf's face suddenly turned dark. How could this be a pleasant journey? It was clearly a journey to purgatory, right? If Renouf had to choose, he would not want to do it again even if he was killed.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Peruvian Yihai Company's factory to start operations. However, the Nice Company in the UK uses the name of this factory to purchase some equipment from time to time, and transport it by sea or air to Peru.
Although the European Trade Commission knows that these equipment involve sensitive areas stipulated in the Batumi Agreement and the subsequent Wassenaar Agreement, because Peru is not the destination country for export restrictions under these agreements, it is inconvenient to block it.
After doing things like sending people to escort long-distance transportation once, the European Trade Commission does not intend to do it again, because the shipping fees charged by the Chinese are too expensive, and the experienced Renouf also uses various methods to
This excuse refused to make such a difference. The final result was that the EU signed agreements with Nice Company and Yihai Company respectively not to transfer equipment, which was better than nothing.
In fact, the Wassenaar Agreement as a replacement for the Batumi Agreement has faced explicit or covert resistance from EU countries from the beginning. Except for some people like Renouf who have a Cold War mentality, most EU officials and
Entrepreneurs all hold a disapproving attitude towards containing China, and everyone is using various methods to circumvent the constraints of the Wassenaar Agreement. The European Trade Commission is not responsible for these practices and can only turn a blind eye.
It’s enough to give the Americans an explanation.
While Renouf and others were trying in vain to hang beacons on the batch of scrap equipment, the freighter Yunhai, loaded with key equipment of the Nice Company, had already crossed the ocean and arrived at Pujiang Port. It was standing on the dock waiting for these batches of equipment.
The equipment was provided by Qin Hai, Professor Yue Kun of Anhe University of Technology, and Tang Rongmin, Dean of the School of Physics of Beijing University, and others.
"It's finally done. Professor Tang, I leave it to you and other professors to mass-produce IGBT."
Qin Hai watched the containers being unloaded from the ship one by one, and his heart dropped. He turned his head and said to Tang Rongmin with a smile.
"Mr. Qin, don't worry. With these equipment, we will definitely be able to produce high-power IGBT finished products within half a year." Tang Rongmin said, patting his chest.
Semiconductor research in the Department of Physics of Kyungseong University has always been in a leading position in the country. In recent years, Qin Hai has invested a lot of money in Tang Rongmin and others. Many researches on semiconductor materials and processes have been accumulated, but they are limited by equipment.
Due to the constraints in the field, some technologies are difficult to realize. This time when I heard that Qin Hai had brought back a batch of advanced equipment from the UK, Tang Rongmin's heart was already itching.
"Professor Yue, I will trouble you to imitate and improve these devices." Qin Hai said to Yue Kun again.
Yue Kun nodded: "I can vouch for the mechanical issues. However, this is semiconductor manufacturing equipment after all, and I still need Dean Tang to give us some pointers."
"Work together, work together." Tang Rongmin replied with a smile, "To break the foreign blockade on us, we can only rely on our own collective efforts."
"Qingfeng Company will fully cooperate with the equipment research. For specific matters, you can contact Director Ning directly. I am a technical school student, and I can't handle these high-tech things." Qin Hai said hypocritically and modestly.
.
"Haha, you are a technical school student, but you have shocked the professors of one of our colleges. The idea you proposed to increase the lateral spacing of pnp tubes and thereby increase the carrier concentration in the near-surface layer can be said to be a revolution in igbt technology.
What a breakthrough. The teachers at our Semiconductor Center all said that it would be a waste of talent if you don’t come to our college to be a part-time professor.” Tang Rongmin said with exaggeration. (To be continued.)
