Chapter 700 The harder the suppression, the faster the progress
Facts have proven that just shouting slogans is ineffective.
After two years of repeated struggles, Yingjiang's semiconductor industry did not make the expected leap. Instead, the international market cooled due to rounds of sanctions, and the chip giant's turnover suffered significant losses.
At this time, the capitalists who participated in the lobbying began to regret it.
They want to stop this farce.
But he found that things seemed to be out of his control.
Politicians are coerced by public opinion and are heading down the unknown abyss.
There is no other way, these capitals can only grit their teeth and persist.
Now they only hope that through the state's suppression, they can bring down the Xinghuo Electronics Factory as soon as possible, just like they did to the enterprise that was a chicken in the past, they can harvest and eat back the blood.
However, the development of the situation once again exceeded all of their expectations.
The harder the suppression, the faster the rebound.
Faced with heavy pressure, China did not give up on Xinghuo, but continued to provide support.
The Domestic Chip Alliance, many companies and the public also stand behind Spark and support Spark with their own actions.
Round after round of sanctions have failed.
The politicians in Eagle Sauce were furious about this.
It's a pity that they don't have a better solution at the moment.
Because all the means that should be used have been used.
But they still couldn't make Starfire surrender.
So the situation became deadlocked.
Amid rounds of suppression and sanctions, the situation in the entire world has become turbulent.
.......
China.
Xinghuo Electronics Factory.
Lithography machine cutting-edge research factory.
Cao Weidong looked at the behemoth lithography machine research base in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Whatever doesn't kill us can make us stronger."
During the period of being suppressed, Spark did not stop its development.
If internationally advanced equipment is prohibited from flowing into China, we will actively look for substitutes and local solutions to reduce our dependence on imports.
Banning the export of Chinese products will shift foreign trade to domestic demand, stimulate people's consumption, and complete the internal economic cycle.
In the face of adversity, technology companies represented by Xinghuo Electronics Factory have accelerated independent research and development and innovation in the local technology industry.
The photolithography machine factory in front of us is proof of the results.
Today's Xinghuo Electronics Factory is no longer what it used to be. It is already a cutting-edge enterprise in the production of photolithography machines in the world, far ahead.
At the same time, in order to ensure independent research and development of core technologies, Cao Weidong has also increased investment in scientific and technological research and talent training.
At this critical moment, many outstanding scientists and engineers returned to China to devote themselves to scientific and technological innovation, driving continued progress in the scientific and technological field.
Cao Weidong thought in a daze.
At this moment, Gao Xi from the Scientific Research Department ran over panting.
"Director, director, why are you here? Everyone is waiting for you."
Cao Weidong said.
"whats the matter?"
Ghosh was promoted in the past two years.
He originally worked at a cutting-edge scientific research base overseas. After learning about the domestic situation, he resolutely returned to China and chose to join Spark.
Cao Weidong had talked with him several times and was very optimistic about his character and knowledge, so he hired him as the director of the scientific research department to take charge of chip scientific research.
Gao Xi lived up to expectations and led the scientific research team to develop many chip application technologies and licensed these chip application technologies, creating a lot of profits for the company.
The Chip Research Department is a newly established department by Cao Weidong.
Based on 22nm advanced chips, we develop various chip applications, and then selectively open them to friends and businessmen, leading everyone to make progress together.
Such as the computer field, such as the communication field, such as various consumer electronics fields, etc.
Of course, there are also many chip application technologies that are directly handed over to the above because they are too advanced...
At this time, Gao Xi said.
"The leaders of the factory director's science and technology department are here. You said you had something important to discuss with them, so I came to call you."
"Okay, let's go there."
Cao Weidong withdrew his gaze.
After asking where the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology were waiting, I took Gao Xi there directly.
Cao Weidong was not idle on the way. He called his secretary and assistant Yang Xiaoxu over to inquire about the shipment and delivery status of the lithography machine.
Yang Xiaoxu said as he walked.
"Director, the shipment volume of lithography machines this month is 78 units."
"More than seventy units, is there such a strong demand from domestic chip factories now?"
Cao Weidong said doubtfully.
"Of course, our lithography machines are the most advanced in the world. No matter how much sanctions the Westerners impose, and even publicly announce a ban on all products using 22nm chips from entering the market of Yingjiang and its allies, the performance of the products is too strong.
However, there are still many people who are willing to buy it, and it has even become an industrial chain, and many products need to be purchased at a higher price."
Yang Xiaoxu shook his head and sighed.
"Hey, sanctions come and go, but it is our own people who suffer. The same TV equipped with a 22-nanometer chip only costs 4,000 yuan at home, but it costs 3,000 US dollars abroad!"
"And you also know that the chip factories we cooperate with bought lithography machines and then sold them at high prices. I arranged for people to inquire about them. It seems that they are chip companies like Gao Tong."
Cao Weidong clicked his tongue.
"Capital is seeking profits, and no matter how much sanctions are imposed, things like this cannot be avoided."
If Yingjiang hadn't been keeping an eye on him, he would have secretly set up a company to resell photolithography machines. This thing is really huge profits.
Shaking his head and putting away these miscellaneous thoughts, Cao Weidong took Gao Xi and Yang Xiaoxu to the living room, where they met the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Still the familiar leader Wen.
Cao Weidong smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Leader Wen.
"Old leader, long time no see."
Leader Wen said with a smile.
"Xiao Cao, it's been a long time no see. I've been busy with other things recently and haven't been here much. How is the situation in the factory? If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
He almost watched the Spark and lithography machine projects grow up, so he paid special attention to the Spark Electronics Factory.
Cao Weidong smiled and responded with a few words.
The two parties sat down and the topic got on track.
"Leader Wen, if you have anything to say, I will tell you directly. What is the attitude of the higher-ups towards the suppression of Yingjiang?" Cao Weidong asked directly.
Leader Wen said solemnly.
"Maintain confrontation, but not direct confrontation. In fact, we do not want to see the sanctions continue. This is not good for both of us."
Cao Weidong nodded.
"That's good. I have a way to break the sanctions."
Leader Wen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
"Oh, what is the solution?"
He was familiar with Cao Weidong. Since the other party said this, there must be a solution.
Cao Weidong smiled.
"I want to build a high-tech smart city."
"What? High-tech... a city of wisdom?"
Leader Wen looked confused.
He knew these words separately, but when they were put together, why couldn't he understand them?
