Chapter 638
The two of them were busy, and the two of them were busy.
“Hello, Commander Shi.”
“Hello, Director Su.”
“Hello, I’m Ren Zhengfei.”
“Hello, I’m Lei Jun.”
“Hello, I’m Wang Tao.”
“…………”
In front of the Zhengcheng Photolithography Machine Industrial Park.
After a group of technology company bosses from all over the country got off the car.
They hurried forward to shake hands and greet the leaders of the Longguang project, such as Shi Yanzhou, Su Mo, and Lu Weidong, enthusiastically.
After the greetings, everyone entered the photolithography machine park together.
When they stepped into the heavily guarded and high-walled park,
Ren Zhengfei, Lei Jun and others seemed to have come to a new world built entirely by high technology, and the surrounding environment was filled with the atmosphere of future technology.
The exterior design of the park is simple yet solemn, and a large amount of glass and metal materials are used.
Especially the towering and magnificent laboratory workshop, which shines brightly in the sun and reflects dazzling light.
The wide park road is paved with asphalt, and various electric vehicles and self-driving logistics vehicles can be seen parked on both sides.
These unmanned vehicles are busy shuttling on the road in an orderly manner.
Five minutes later…
After everyone crossed the park road, they came to the spacious and bright conference room together.
The mahogany chairs and desks are spotless, with water cups and paper and pens neatly placed on them.
And there are conspicuous name tags in front of each table, so that every company boss can quickly find his seat.
As everyone took their seats one by one, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became solemn.
Shi Yanzhou and Su Mo, two heavyweights, sat side by side on the top leader’s speaking seat.
Seeing this scene, the CEOs sitting in the audience were slightly surprised.
Because the seating arrangement in any official or business occasion is carefully considered.
This not only represents the power distribution in the organizational structure, but also a direct reflection of identity and status.
Just like Mr. Ren of Huawei, Mr. Lei of Dami, Mr. Li of Zhongxing, Mr. Wang of Dajiang and others.
These first-tier giants of technology companies all sat in the first row as a matter of course.
The CEOs of second-tier technology companies naturally sat in the last row according to the order.
As the commander-in-chief of the Longguang project, Shi Yanzhou is recognized as the top leader by the outside world.
But he actually sat in the C position of the leadership seat with Su Mo, the second-in-command.
This unusual arrangement conveys a clear and strong message.
That is, Su Mo’s position in the Longguang project is far more important and unique than they imagined.
Through this detail, the eyes of the group of company CEOs in the audience, in addition to the original respect, have become more thoughtful.
Although they remained calm, they began to re-evaluate Su Mo’s influence in the Longguang project.
This new understanding will make them listen to Su Mo’s views more carefully in the next meeting.
At this time…
Shi Yanzhou, who was sitting in the leadership seat, smiled and turned his head to look at Su Mo: “Director Su, you will open and host this meeting.”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately shook his head and refused: “As the general commander of the project, you should host it. How can I take the lead?”
Shi Yanzhou insisted again: “Director Su, your contribution is obvious to all and your insights are unique. Please host the meeting.”
Under the expectant eyes of the CEOs below the stage, Su Mo and Shi Yanzhou were humble to each other about who would open and host the meeting first.
Finally, after Su Mo’s repeated insistence and several refusals, the right to host this meeting was once again handed over to Shi Yanzhou.
Seeing that Su Mo was so persistent and did not seem to be false, Shi Yanzhou no longer hesitated and refused.
After adjusting the microphone on the conference table, he immediately said with a serious face:
“Everyone present here is a leader in our private technology industry in Longguo.”
“During the period of blockade by the Western Alliance with the chip restriction order, everyone suffered losses to varying degrees, and Longguo’s semiconductor industry was almost paralyzed.”
“In this painful lesson, we also deeply realized that we are lagging behind in technology and there is a potential risk of being strangled at any time!”
“At the same time, it also verifies the idea of ’it’s better to buy than to make’. While there are pros and cons, it will definitely rely too much on imported technology and products.”
“As a result, we lack independent technology accumulation and innovation capabilities in key technology fields, thus losing this field.
“Once the international political and economic situation changes, it will directly threaten national security and industrial security, and put enterprises and countries into a passive situation.” “…………” Shi Yanzhou’s sharp opening remarks directly made many company bosses in the audience bow their heads in silence. Because many people present once held the attitude that it would be more cost-effective to import directly from the West instead of spending a lot of money to build photolithography machines and chips. Especially Lei Jun, chairman of the rice company, although he is an excellent leader and has strong marketing ability. But his strategic pattern and courage are not a little bit worse than Ren Zhengfei. He never had the courage to dare to invest hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions in the chip field every year under the pressure of the United States like Hua Wei. Therefore, in the years before being blocked and sanctioned by the Western alliance, All the mobile phone chips used by Rice Company rely on imports from the Chip Alliance.
As sales increased, the dependence became stronger, and in the end, it was almost reduced to a Qualcomm processing plant.
Until now, when the neck was completely strangled by the West, he finally realized the powerlessness and despair of having his lifeline held in the hands of others.
…
After setting the wrong tone for the idea that it is better to buy chips than to make them, and severely criticizing many CEOs in the audience.
Shi Yanzhou changed the subject and focused on praising Ren Zhengfei for his long-term vision of being prepared for danger in times of peace and daring to plan for the future in advance.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, Shi Yanzhou directly announced:
“Thanks to the unremitting efforts of many scientific researchers, the Longguang project was a complete success yesterday.”
“Our Longguo has made a historic breakthrough in the field of lithography machines.”
“Successfully developed a 0.5nm quantum lithography machine and a 0.5nm quantum chip! ”
Shi Yanzhou’s words had just fallen.
The conference room instantly fell into a deathly silence!
After being criticized by name, Lei Jun, who was drinking water with a guilty conscience, heard Shi Yanzhou’s announcement.
He was caught off guard and spit out all the water he choked on.
Even Ren Zhengfei, who had experienced countless storms and remained calm even when facing a mountain collapse, was also stunned at this time, seriously doubting that he had heard it wrong.
As for the CEOs of the technology companies sitting in the back, they were all dumbfounded and exchanged looks with each other in disbelief.
