On this day, Cao Weidong was resting in his office, and Zhu Feng walked in accompanied by his secretary Yang Xiaoxu.
Zhu Feng said jokingly to Yang Xiaoxu.
"Can you give me some alone time to talk to your factory director?"
Yang Xiaoxu blushed, pursed his lips and did not speak. Instead, he looked up at Cao Weidong, and when he saw the other party nodded in agreement, he left the office.
Zhu Feng pulled up a stool and sat down, smiling.
"Old Cao, your secretary seems to be interested in you?"
Cao Weidong smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Feng.
"Director Zhu, I am focused on work now and can't take care of these things. Besides, I already have a family with three children."
"Why did you come to my place today? Is there something wrong?"
Zhu Feng nodded.
"Well, something is indeed wrong."
Cao Weidong wondered.
"What's up?"
Zhu Feng said seriously.
"Someone wants to see you."
After a pause, he added.
"He is a big shot. You should perform well. This is an opportunity."
Cao Weidong's eyes froze slightly, but there was a sense of understanding in his heart.
finally come.
With the advent of Spark EDA, he finally entered a higher level of vision.
No.
In other words, I have always paid attention to it before, but only started to contact it now.
In any case, this is a rare opportunity for Cao Weidong, and he has been preparing for it.
With these thoughts rolling over and over in his heart, Cao Weidong asked.
"when?"
Zhu Feng raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.
"Let's leave now. It's half past one in the afternoon. You only have twenty minutes."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll get some things."
Cao Weidong did not hesitate, said hello to Zhu Feng, turned around and took out the manuscript he had prepared in advance from the drawer, checked it carefully, and then walked over.
"We can go."
.......
Forty-nine cities.
In an inconspicuous red house, Cao Weidong met the mysterious leader.
This is a big man who often appears on television.
Beside him, Wen Youming and others were respectful.
The big leader looked at Cao Weidong with a smile.
"You are Cao Weidong, Lao Huang mentioned you to me before."
Cao Weidong was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously:
"Do you know Secretary Huang?"
Then he realized that he had asked a stupid question. Given the other party's status, it was natural for him to be familiar with Secretary Huang.
"Well, yes, we have been friends for decades."
The big leader looked at Cao Weidong with implicit praise in his tone.
"I knew you more than ten years ago. At that time, you were transferred to Tongquan to open a biogas plant. It was Lao Huang who discussed it with me. Unexpectedly, you later went to Hong Kong City, and more than ten years later, you returned to the country.
It’s really amazing that you have created an amazing thing for the country.”
"What kind of reward do you want, tell me."
Cao Weidong took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and answered seriously.
"Big leader, I don't want a reward, I just want to ask you something."
"whats the matter?"
"Has our country researched photolithography machines?"
The big leader was stunned for a moment and replied.
"Of course there is, we have been studying it, but you have to ask Comrade Wen about the specific progress."
Wen Youming nodded slightly and said proudly.
"Well, although our country's lithography machine technology is not at the forefront of the world, it is still in the second echelon. The self-developed stepper lithography machine is only five to eight years behind the world's advanced level."
"What happens after that?"
"After what?"
"As far as I know, the country has been vigorously promoting the introduction of foreign investment. Because we can't buy lithography machines and EDA, we have been blocked by foreign countries, so we promote independent research."
Cao Weidong considered it and said: "But what if foreign countries lift the ban on us? After we can also buy advanced foreign equipment, should we continue research?"
This question stumped Wen Youming.
He wanted to say that of course he would do it.
The country has been studying it for more than 20 years. Should we just give up?
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped.
Because Wen Youming thought of some of the recent trends in academic circles.
It is better to buy than to make.
If we can really buy advanced equipment from abroad, why should we invest money and waste time and energy in researching our own backward industries?
Cao Weidong further said.
"You also know that because of Batumi, we have been excluded from the West. For this reason, we have to do our own research. But what if one day Batumi is cancelled? Do we still need to do research?"
The big leader said warmly.
"Xiao Cao, you are very keen. I am here to tell you that if one day the ban is lifted, we can easily buy advanced equipment and toad films from other countries, and the country will adjust its policies accordingly."
"After all, the country has no money, and there is a generation gap between foreign technology and equipment and ours. We really have to rely on ourselves to build it. Without funds, time, and technical reserves, how can we compete with foreign countries?"
"It's useless to shout slogans in vain."
"The only way is to get foreign technology first, use it, and figure out how others do it."
Cao Weidong looked at the big leader.
"I wonder if you have thought about another possibility."
"What?"
“Dumping and Suppression.”
Cao Weidong simply shared some of his experiences in his previous life and selected some cases to tell the big leaders in the form of stories.
The big leader broke out in cold sweat.
He thought about it carefully and felt that if he lost his autonomy as Cao Weidong said, then these things might happen in the future.
As a soldier who had fought bravely on the battlefield, he was not afraid of fighting the enemy to the death, even with bayonets, but this method gave him a creepy feeling.
After thinking carefully, he took a breath and asked.
"Then what do you think?"
Cao Weidong said.
"I just have some immature ideas, and they're all in here."
As he spoke, he handed the other party a manuscript.
It was exactly what he had prepared before.
To be able to lead China to rise in a world surrounded by wolves, the leaders of this country are definitely at the top of the world in terms of their ability, scheming, and planning.
Cao Weidong reminded them and immediately made these people understand.
The leader asked the staff to bring the manuscript over, read it briefly, and remained silent.
He said after a long time.
"Comrade Xiao Cao, your attitude is commendable. Some of the contents in this manuscript are good, some are controversial, and some are inappropriate. Let us study it and give you an answer."
"For now, just do what you want. The country will support you when necessary."
Cao Weidong was overjoyed.
With the words "big leader", you can do certain things by yourself.
After Cao Weidong left, the senior leader rubbed the manuscript and sighed.
