If you cheat, money will follow

"Uncle Zheng, it cannot be said that it is changing the track, but using other technologies to buy some time for the current predicament." Chang Le said:

"EUV lithography machines are too precise and complex, and require very high requirements for supporting parts. Although we have made good progress, there is still a long way to go before they can be officially commercialized."

"So, during this period, we want to explore some new technologies and look for some new possibilities."

"Oh? From your tone, I should be very confident?" Zheng Qiguang became interested.

"Experimental products are already available. Under the same process, the performance is more than five times that of silicon-based chips, but the power consumption is 5/1." Chang Le said.

"So amazing? What is the biggest problem right now?" Zheng Qiguang asked immediately.

"The biggest problem is large-scale mass production with controllable costs. This is the biggest hurdle." Chang Le said:

"Currently, the institute is fully deploying personnel to tackle the problem. According to Academician Liu, Dr. Lin Li, the leader of the project team, has found new ideas."

"We believe that given time, we will be able to overcome this problem, it just depends on how long it takes."

"Once successful, we are almost certain that silicon-based chips will enter history."

"Okay!" Zheng Qiguang couldn't help but clapped his hands: "Well done, Chang Le. I know your style. You won't say anything you're not sure about. Once you say it, you will succeed."

"My visit this time is really not in vain, I heard another good news."

"Chang Le, in the future, if you have any problems in development, don't hide them, raise them directly."

"Uncle Zheng, with your care and support, all aspects of Leda Investment's work are going smoothly and there are no problems at the moment." Chang Le said.

"Well, let me tell you something." Zheng Qiguang paused and said:

"Recently, relevant departments are considering adjusting the positions of academic comrades. There are several alternative locations, which are still being studied and have not been finalized."

"You can give him a reminder to prepare him."

"Ah? Uncle Zheng, the time has not come yet." Chang Le was surprised.

"The time has indeed not arrived, but seeking truth from facts is the basic principle of our work." Zheng Qiguang said with a smile:

"We can make adjustments whenever necessary. What we want is to adapt to the changing times, not to stick to the old ways."

10 minute later.

Chang Le stepped out of the minibus with a relaxed expression.

He waved goodbye to Zheng Qiguang and his entourage together with everyone.

In the evening, the inspection was reported on CCTV's 30 Minutes News.

Changning Storage was exposed nationwide and even globally, and it also slapped North America hard.

Because memory chips do not require EUV, only DUV.

why?

Because the manufacturing process is below 20 nanometers, the memory cells of flash memory chips are extremely unstable.

Stability is the most basic requirement for flash memory chips.

It's not just that.

After the news report ended, the feature film was also played on the focus program:

The long road through Xiongguan is really like iron, but now we are crossing it from the beginning.

The feature film presents exterior photos and mass production photos of the Changning storage base, as well as historic breakthroughs in the field of memory chips.

In addition, a special interview was conducted with Yang Yongning, the key figure in this breakthrough.

Yang Yongning faced the camera and briefly explained the significance of memory chip breakthroughs to my country's industrial transformation, structural adjustment, and chain climbing.

Maybe it was intentional.

The scene of the exchange between Zheng Qiguang and Chang Le was also reported.

In the picture, Chang Le wears a white shirt and dark trousers, and his handsome and upright appearance is very eye-catching.

These simple pictures were accurately cropped by netizens and uploaded to video websites.

The original intention was to repost the news, but netizens made fun of it.

"Seeing this picture, the outline of my one-million-word novel: The Domineering President and His Little Wife came out."

"A few years later, I was holding a child, and my husband was with me."

"Don't tell me, my husband and I really look like a couple."

"How should I attract my husband's attention? I am beautiful and natural."

"Husband, *me!"

Oh, I'm so full.

Jiangzhou.

After the report on the special program ended, Wu Licai sat in his chair, frowning, and was lost in thought.

His fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa inadvertently.

Soon, the advertising slogan "The distant fragrance of sauce, the centuries-old singing" woke him up.

He picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Set a time and I'll go to Leda Investment."

"It's best to check first when Chang Le will be here and when he will go."

On Jiangchang Expressway, Chang Le drove to Jiangzhou.

Also traveling with them were Zheng Peng and Zeng Xi.

"Changning Storage is really impressive this time. It's so straight forward and using technology to enter the poker table. It makes me feel relieved just thinking about it. It depends on how the market reacts next." Zheng Peng said excitedly.

"One more thing, Samsung Semiconductor should not catch fire in the short term." Chang Le said with a smile.

"Haha, yes!" Zheng Peng laughed.

On the side, Zeng Xi received a call from the company.

"Yes, I'm on my way back."

"What? Wu Licai is coming to investigate? Make an appointment with us?"

Zeng Xi was stunned and looked at Chang Le.

Chang Le looked at Zheng Peng.

"As expected, this is a basic quality." Zheng Peng said.

"What do you think about it in three days?" Chang Le said to Zeng Xi.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

three days later.

Wu Licai took the heads of relevant departments and bureaus, accompanied by Xiao Henghua, and took a minibus to Leda Building.

Compared with the number of researchers in the past month, this time it is considered low-key.

Chang Le, Zeng Xi, and the heads of departments waited quietly at the entrance of the square hall.

The minibus came and stopped.

Wu Licai got out of the car and looked at Chang Le, showing a rare gentle smile.

Chang Le met Wu Licai in person for the first time.

Compared with TV, Wu Licai is short in stature, has a Chinese character face, and thick hair in three-quarter length, giving people a very majestic feeling.

"Mr. Chang, I have admired you for a long time. You are really young." Wu Licai said.

"Where, Secretary Wu is welcome to come to Leda for investment guidance." Chang Le replied politely.

"Actually, I have wanted to come here for a long time, but I was always delayed by some things." Wu Licai said.

"Secretary Wu has a lot of things to do every day. Being able to come is already an honor for all colleagues at Leda Investment." Chang Le continued to reply.

then.

Chang Le introduced Zeng Xi and the company department heads to Wu Licai, and shook hands with each other politely.

After meeting.

Chang Le was on the right side of Wu Licai, slightly ahead by half a body, leading the way and randomly answering some of Wu Licai's unhelpful questions.

The overall atmosphere is quite harmonious and stable.

To the left of Wu Licai, Xiao Henghua felt a little calmer.

Everything is changing for the better.

Xiao Henghua could generally guess some of Wu Licai's thoughts and ideas.

They are young and have no relevant experience. They want to control the situation in the short term and facilitate governance through vigorous and resolute means.

However, as soon as the first fire was lit, it was blown out by the wind.

Although we are unwilling to do so, we must also recognize the reality.

Chang Le took Wu Licai and his party around the company, and then came to the conference room on the 30th floor.

Just like reporting to the leaders back then, Chang Le briefly introduced some of the company's development to Wu Licai.

While listening to the report, Wu Licai paused frequently and kept a smile on his face. At the end, a look of regret flashed across his face.

Wu Licai said:

"In recent years, Leda Investment has focused on its main business, deepened its industrial development, insisted on doing something and not doing anything, and achieved very good results."

"Especially in recent days, Changning Storage's investment in the field of semiconductor flash memory has made a historic breakthrough. It has not only rewritten the overall pattern of the semiconductor industry in one fell swoop, but also set a development benchmark for domestic financial companies."

"I hope that Leda Investment can continue to build on the past and open up the future, further play its role as an investor, drive more social capital, accelerate the cultivation of new industries and new growth points, and promote the development and transformation of Jiangnan enterprises."

Wu Licai's words are very high and his intentions are far-reaching.

Chang Le accepted it all and reciprocated the favor.

"I am very grateful to Secretary Wu for recognizing our company's work over the past few years."

"All colleagues of the company will always strengthen their confidence, stick to their main business, stick to their goals, and on the premise of preventing various risks, better serve the real economy and continuously increase their contribution to the province's economy."

After the exchange, Wu Licai stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the turbulent scenery of the river outside the window like a moving scroll, and suddenly said:

"Mr. Chang, the view from your company's office building is very broad."

"Secretary Wu, when we took over this building, we took this into consideration."

"It's just a little short. Look at the buildings next to it. They are taller than yours."

"Secretary Wu is right. When we chose this place, the plan was simple and lacked some long-term vision. However, judging from the actual needs, it is enough."

Wu Licai paused, glanced at Chang Le, and remained silent.
