Chapter 985 The catastrophe of the Strait business district
Phoenix Villa, under dim street lights.
Lin Zhiming handed Xia Zhengzhi a cigarette.
Xia Zhengzhi took the cigarette and held it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it, Lin Zhiming lit up the lighter and handed it over.
Xia Zhengzhi put his head over, lit the cigarette, and took a few puffs.
"Hey!" Xia Zhengzhi let out a long sigh.
"Why did you believe that James so easily?" Lin Zhiming couldn't help but ask.
"First of all, the other party has a Wall Street background. As you know, such an identity and background are relatively popular in our country. Secondly, that guy's operating methods are so clever. He sponsored the previous Longguo Good Voice as soon as he came.
, he also changed his name to "The Voice of the Strait". Even the city people applauded him for this move. Furthermore, he had been active in the business circle during that time. He pretended to be too good, spent generously, and spoke well.
He had such unique insights into business that all of us were deceived by him and really thought he was here to start a business. Of course, the most important reason was that we were blinded by the high interest rates.
Hey!" Xia Zhengzhi said and sighed again.
"How many people in our community have been deceived?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Besides me, there are a few others, all of whom are members of the property owners committee. Everyone's capital chain has been cut off, and the villa can only be sold. We need to pay off the bank loan first, otherwise we will have to go to a detention center to celebrate the New Year.
That's it." Xia Zhengzhi said helplessly.
"The fact that a veteran like you can be deceived shows that James' moral integrity is very deep!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Isn't that right? That guy was so good at pretending that he won the naming rights at a record-breaking price during the Longguo Good Voice bidding meeting, and it was said that he paid the full price on the spot. Now that I think about it, that's all
He was the bait for us, and the money he took from us was dozens of times the naming fee! Damn it!" Xia Zhengzhi said, unable to help but spit on the ground.
"I heard that you have found a lawyer and are preparing to file a lawsuit?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Yes, but this is a transoceanic lawsuit and it is difficult to fight. And you also know that the Stars and Stripes country is dominated by capital. James took away more than 10 billion from here. When he gets there, he can hire the best
With a team of lawyers, this lawsuit may take several years. We all owe bank loans, so how can we have time to spend with him? Now what we mean is that half of it will be refunded to us, and we will not pursue it.
What responsibility does he have, as long as he can recover some blood and survive the most difficult period now!" Xia Zhengzhi said.
"Isn't that a bargain for him? In this case, he won't even be on Interpol's wanted list!" Lin Zhiming said with a frown.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? The money is in other people's pockets now, so we can only make do with compromises!" Xia Zhengzhi said.
"That's true!" Lin Zhiming nodded.
"Not to mention how cool that guy is now in the Stars and Stripes Country, and he has treated this as capital to show off in the financial circles of the Stars and Stripes Country. What a bastard!" Xia Zhengzhi said angrily.
"In Stars and Stripes, they only focus on the results, not the process. As long as you win, it doesn't matter whether you broke the law or not," Lin Zhiming said.
"Hey, there's no way!" Xia Zhengzhi shook his head.
At this moment, a truck not far away suddenly sounded its horn.
"I have to go, I can't let people wait!" Xia Zhengzhi said, taking two puffs of his cigarette, then throwing the cigarette to the ground and stamping it out.
"Where is your wife? Why do I see you alone?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"She? She ran away when she knew I was going bankrupt!" Xia Zhengzhi said.
"Ah?!" Lin Zhiming was stunned.
"Originally, she came for my money, and I didn't expect her to share the hardships with me. This is good. I can bear it all by myself, and I won't treat anyone badly!" Xia Zhengzhi said with a smile.
"You are open-minded." Lin Zhiming smiled, raised his hand and patted Xia Zhengzhi's shoulder and said, "I have a favor for you. Tomorrow, you can summon all the deceived businessmen and go to the Lin Group.
Let’s discuss how to handle this matter.”
"You want to take action?!" Xia Zhengzhi asked in surprise.
"Not necessarily. Let's talk about it then." Lin Zhiming said.
"Actually, I know my fate, and to tell you the truth, now is a good opportunity for you to buy at the bottom. Everyone has no money. You may only need to pay half the original price to get many things!" Xia Zhengzhi said seriously.
"Let's talk tomorrow, help me find someone first!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay!" Xia Zhengzhi nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me. We have a rights protection group and everyone is in it!"
"Um!"
After watching the moving convoy leave, Lin Zhiming returned to his villa.
Everything in the villa is very clean, because there are dedicated personnel cleaning the villa every week.
Lin Zhiming walked into the villa, but did not turn on the light.
The moonlight shines in from the window and falls on the sofa in the living room, casting a long shadow on the sofa.
Lin Zhiming sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette for himself, and sat there quietly smoking.
At this time, no one knew what Lin Zhiming was thinking.
Maybe it was the past events between him and Yao Jingzai, or maybe it was Gu Feiyan who was no more than ten kilometers away from him at this time, or maybe it was Song Siqing who was already famous in the socialite circle of Xiahai City, or maybe it was that
Liu Ruyan who almost put him in despair.
Or maybe he didn't think about anything and just enjoyed the tranquility at the moment.
After a long time, Lin Zhiming's cell phone on the table vibrated.
There is a message coming. The content of the message is very simple, just a few words.
"We have arrived at the Imperial Capital."
Lin Zhiming picked up the phone and replied with two words: "Send it."
"yes!"
In the Imperial Capital, at night, a container truck is walking on the elevated ring road around the city.
In the Institute of Electronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academician Li Ming put on ordinary clothes and walked out of the institute after finishing his work for the day.
"Academician, we are off work again today!" the security guard at the door said to Li Ming with a smile.
"Yeah, there's a lot of work, so I have to work overtime to do it. Look at my rhyme, can I go to participate in Longguo New Rap?" Li Ming said with a smile.
"That's for sure, please walk slowly, thank you for your hard work!" the security guard said.
Li Ming nodded, got on his motorcycle and left the research institute.
Li Ming is in his fifties. He is a researcher at the institute and a very young academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He focuses on electronic research.
In his field, he is already regarded as a master figure, has won national scientific research awards, and has even been received by noble people.
However, for Li Ming, he has always had a regret, that is, he has never been able to help Longguo produce the world's top chips.
In fact, all the necessary technical research institutes are available, but the only thing missing is a photolithography machine, and it is a cutting-edge photolithography machine.
Today, the best lithography machine made by the country is only 85nm level, while the world's most advanced lithography machine has reached 7nm level. The gap between the two can only be described as a huge difference.
With such huge differences in photolithography machines, the performance of the chips produced is naturally also very different.
The chip gap directly leads to the overall gap.
Li Ming was riding a bicycle, feeling the wind blowing by his ears.
Given his status, motorcycles are actually not suitable for him, but Li Ming likes the feeling of riding a motorcycle, which allows him to release a lot of stress.
At this moment, Li Ming felt the vibration of his cell phone in his arms.
He parked the car aside, then picked up his cell phone and took a look and found that the call was from the research institute.
"Academician Li, there is a container truck parked in front of our institute, and it is said that it is your belongings." said the other end of the phone.
"Container truck? My stuff?" Li Ming was stunned for a moment. He had never bought anything that needed to be loaded in a hotpot truck, so he asked, "What is it?"
"I don't know either. The other party said you need to open it yourself." The other end of the phone said.
"Okay, wait for me!" Li Ming said, put away his cell phone, turned the car around and drove towards the research institute.
Not long after, Li Ming returned to the research institute and saw the container truck.
The container truck is parked at the entrance of the institute. Several security guards are holding things on the container truck for inspection, and several staff members of the institute are also next to the container truck.
Li Ming parked the car and walked to the front of the container truck.
"Academician Li, what good things did you buy?!" someone joked.
"I don't know, I don't remember buying anything big!" Li Ming said doubtfully, looking around, and found a person he didn't recognize, so he walked over and asked, "Did you send this?
?”
"Academician Li, this is a gift from our master." The other party replied.
"Your master? Who is it?" Li Ming asked.
"Our family's surname is Lin. As for the name, you don't need to ask. The head of the family knows that you have made great contributions to the country in electronics, so I am sending you a small contribution. I hope you will accept it!" the other party replied.
"How small is it? Can you open it and take a look?" Li Ming asked.
"Of course!" The other party nodded and then returned to the car.
As the other party presses a button, the container automatically splits from both sides.
Everyone quickly took a few steps back, and then looked at the cracked container curiously.
As the container was opened little by little, the contents inside the container gradually appeared in front of everyone.
When they saw something like that, everyone was stunned.
"This...this is?!" Li Ming rushed to the front of the container in disbelief, looking at the square things above, his whole body was already trembling.
"Academician Li, isn't this a 7nm lithography machine?" Someone rushed to Li Ming and asked excitedly.
"I'm not sure yet, I'll go up and have a look!" Li Ming said, climbed into the truck and came to the front of the lithography machine.
After he carefully checked the photolithography machine, his eyes were red with excitement.
"Yes, this is a 7nm lithography machine, a 7nm lithography machine produced by Wavelight Manufacturing!!!" Li Ming shouted excitedly.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for these people at the Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
