Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 909 A great thing in the field of science and technology

Mr. Zhuang said: "Mr. Zhang, I have good news for you. Our chip company has finally developed a machine capable of producing 7NM chips, and now we can directly mass-produce them."

Previously, Zhang Xiao invested 30 billion U.S. dollars and Huawei to set up a chip research and development base. In addition to chip research and development, the most important thing is to study lithography machines.

In the past few years, Zhang Xiaolu has invested a lot of money in it one after another, and now he has already occupied 40.00% of the shares of the base.

Originally, Zhang Xiao thought that his money was wasted, but he didn't expect that it would actually be a success.

Zhang Xiao quickly asked: "Have you done the experiment?"

"It's been done!" Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "The test results have proved that there is no problem, and the good product rate is even much higher than that of foreign countries."

Zhang Xiao laughed and said, "That means the chokehold strategy implemented by other places headed by the Lighthouse Country is completely finished, right?"

"That's right!" Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "But they have already developed a lithography machine capable of producing 5nm, and we still have a long way to go if we want to surpass them."

Zhang Xiaodao: "But we have already made a good start. The most important thing is that we don't need to look at other people's faces when making mobile phones."

Zhuang Laodao: "This really made us breathe a sigh of relief."

"Mr. Zhang, thank you very much for your strong support to our company in the past few years. Without your financial assistance, it would be very difficult for us to get through this difficult time."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Even without me, you will have no problems, because you are the pride of our entire Hua Country."

Mr. Zhuang smiled, and changed the topic: "Mr. Zhang, we are going to hold a Huaguo Science and Technology Conference, and we have invited many technology companies to participate. I wonder if you have time to come and show your face?"

Zhang Xiao naturally understood what Zhuang Lao meant, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will definitely be there when the time is confirmed. Zhuang Lao, do you want to become a chip supplier for these technology companies?"

"Yes!" Mr. Zhuang said straightforwardly: "The foreign chips they bought are very expensive. Now that we have the ability to provide chips, we naturally don't want to see these brother companies being bullied anymore."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "In this way, those overseas chip companies may cry."

"I just want to make them cry!" Zhuang Lao said: "Their selling price is dozens of times higher than the cost price. They are simply sucking the blood of our technology companies. I plan to reduce the price to one-third of the foreign price. One, what do you think of Mr. Zhang?"

"Of course I have no problem." Zhang Xiao said: "By the way, the fact that we have successfully developed a 7nm lithography machine should not be disclosed to the outside world, right?"

"Not yet." Zhuang Lao said: "We are preparing to announce it at the Science and Technology Conference."

"That's good." Zhang Xiao said: "I'm going to short the stocks of those companies to make some money, Mr. Zhuang, are you interested?"

"Let's forget it?" Zhuang Lao was silent for a moment, and said: "Although I know that the chance of making money this time is [-]%, but if there is one, there are two. Our company is an entity, and we will definitely not get involved in the capital. "

Hearing his words, Zhang Xiao was extremely impressed.

No wonder Huawei has been able to make it to today. It can be seen from the pattern of the founder. If it were Zhang Xiao, if there was a chance to make money almost [-]%, he would definitely not let it go.

After the two talked on the phone, Zhang Xiao immediately called Clark and asked him to short the top chip companies in Europe and America.

Clark asked a little puzzled: "Boss, after the financial crisis, the market value of these technology companies has risen to a level far exceeding the level before the crisis. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhang Xiao said: "The higher their stock price is, the more we will earn, Clark, do as I say."

"Okay, boss." Clark nodded without further questioning.

When it comes to secretly shorting a company's stock price, Clark is adept at it.

In less than three days, he unknowingly shorted the stock prices of five large technology companies.

···
On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, there are only ten days left until New Year's Eve.

Warwick Group held the National Electronic Technology Business Conference, which was held in Pengcheng.

Dozens of technology companies and investment companies across the country were all present, including Er Ma and Zhang Yiming, who Zhang Xiao is familiar with.

Boss Ma was very surprised to see Zhang Xiao appearing in this conference.

Although everyone knows that Zhang Xiao owns [-]% of Douyin's shares and is also one of the shareholders of several technology companies, but he basically only hangs around in the entertainment circle and has never appeared in the business circle.

So seeing Zhang Xiao coming in, Boss Ma and the others immediately surrounded him.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao laughed and said, "Why, are you looking for my autographed photo?"

Shen Ma said: "I really want one. My daughter is a big fan of yours. If she knew you were here, she would definitely come with me crying."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "That's really my honor, one, how are you doing now?"

Zhang Yiyi replied with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhang, all your previous guesses have become indications. The company suffered heavy losses last year."

Like Huawei, after seeing the great success of Douyin in the overseas version of the app, Douyin encountered strong resistance.

This made it difficult for Douyin to develop overseas. You must know that Zhang Yiming spent a lot of money to build the reputation of the Douyin app overseas. He was about to reap the rewards, but he was directly knocked out with a stick.

After one year, it lost nearly 30 billion US dollars, which is almost the death of the company. Although the company's assets have reached 100 billion, its actual profit is actually not high.

Zhang Xiaodao: "For nearly a hundred years, some top overseas technology companies have been dominating global technology. Now that they are targeting you, it means that you have threatened their dominance. You should be proud and proud."

Zhang Yiming said: "The problem is that they can't afford to lose. For a while, we have been looking for a solution, but with little success."

Ma Laodao: "They want your core algorithm."

Zhang Yiming said: "Even if I give up overseas business, I will definitely not hand over the core algorithm to them, or our Douyin will be finished."

"It's best for you to think like this." Zhang Xiaodao: "Mr. Zhuang and the others have faced much more difficult difficulties than you in the past two years, and they still haven't surrendered. This is nothing."

Boss Ma asked curiously: "Zhang Xiao, do you know the specific content of the press conference held by Boss Zhuang this time?"

Zhang Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Didn't they tell you?"

Boss Ma shook his head and said: "They just said that this is an epoch-making press conference and will bring us huge surprises, and they didn't say anything else."

Zhang Xiao nodded, and said: "This time it will indeed bring you a huge surprise, and maybe it will change the current structure of the global science and technology field."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Everyone knows that Zhuang Lao and the others have encountered difficulties in the past two years, which caused them heavy losses. Even when the financial crisis broke out, those people did not sell a single chip to Zhuang Lao.

If it weren't for Mr. Zhuang and the others who stocked up a lot of goods, they would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

Now Zhang Xiao suddenly said that Mr. Zhuang's press conference could change the pattern of the global technology field, which surprised everyone.

Boss Ma's brain turned the fastest, and he asked directly: "Could it be that Boss Zhuang and the others already have nanochips?"

"You will find out later." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

···
It's exactly ten o'clock.

Mr. Zhuang, the founder of Huawei Group, and Yu Zhendong, the CEO, stepped out.

Mr. Zhuang glanced at Yu Zhendong, and said, "Go do your work!"

Yu Zhendong nodded and walked directly onto the stage.

Facing a technology giant and a reporter from Huaguo, Yu Zhendong took a deep breath and said, "Bosses, journalists and friends, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the press conference we held. meeting."

"This press conference is very simple, only two sentences."

"In the first sentence, after five years of hard work, Huawei Chip Research and Development Company finally successfully developed a seven-nanometer lithography machine, breaking the overseas monopoly."

boom!
Hearing his words, the whole scene exploded.

"Oh my god, is this true or not, the seven-nanometer lithography machine, have Warwick and the others reached this point?"

"That's awesome, how did they do it?"

"I always thought that Huawei Chip Company only developed chips, but I didn't expect that they have been working hard on homework lithography machines. Did they already know that they would encounter difficulties in this regard?"

"Huawei is amazing, Mr. Zhuang is amazing. They successfully produced seven-nanometer chips. After that, we won't have to be choked by others."

"Although Huawei is not yet capable of producing five-nanometer and three-nanometer chips, the key business of restarting Huawei mobile phones has been broken through, and nothing can stop its rise."

"This is really a major event that affects the world's technological structure!"

"···"

Just when everyone was talking, Yu Zhendong continued: "Second sentence, we know that brothers and companies are suffering from chip prices. As long as you are willing, we can provide you with better quality and lower prices. nanochip."

"Okay, the two sentences I want to say have been finished. Next, please see the whole process of manufacturing the domestic lithography machine developed by our company."

After the words fell, the big screen on the stage suddenly lit up, and everyone's eyes were focused on it.

What I saw on the screen was the assembly process of a lithography machine and all the various technologies.

Zhang Xiao didn't understand it, but felt a little tall.

However, some of the technology giants around have already let out bursts of exclamation, which shows how much shock Warwick has brought to them this time.

The entire video was only 7 or [-] minutes long. At the end of the playback, a line of words suddenly appeared: [Special thanks to Mr. Zhang Xiao for his great help in the process of developing the lithography machine. 】

Shen Ma, who was sitting next to Zhang Xiao, asked, "Mr. Zhang, is Huawei Electronics R&D Company also related to you?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "I just invested some money back then."

Shen Ma asked in surprise: "How can you be sure that Huawei can develop a lithography machine?"

"I'm not Zhuge Liang, how can I tell if they will succeed?" Zhang Xiao said with a smile, "At the beginning, I just wanted to help them. It's best if I succeed, even if I fail in the end, it doesn't matter."

Shen Ma said with admiration: "You are such an amazing investor!"

Zhang Xiao laughed and said, "He is also an extremely capricious investor."

Shenma couldn't help but smile.

After the press conference, Yu Zhendong began to answer questions from reporters.

"Mr. Yu, what is the yield rate of the lithography machine developed by Warwick?"

Yu Zhendong replied: "90.00% [-], this is the result obtained after two months of testing, which is much higher than the yield rate of overseas lithography machines."

"Just now you said that Huawei will provide high-quality and cheap chips for various technology companies in Huaguo. How much will the price of the chips be?"

"Our preliminary pricing is one-third of the price of the same product overseas, which means that Huaguo Technology Company can only buy one chip for the price of one chip, but can buy three of our same quality."

"Mr. Yu, does this belong to unfair competition?"

"Those overseas companies have obstructed us like never before. Is this a legitimate competition? For the same product, they sell it for 100 yuan, and we sell it for 30 yuan. How does this constitute abnormal competitiveness? This only shows that we are Conscientious enterprise."

"The last thing we saw the video was to thank Mr. Zhang Xiao. May I ask what role Mr. Zhang Xiao played in it?"

"Huawei Chip Research and Development Company was co-founded by us and Mr. Zhang. Over the years, Mr. Zhang has been continuously injecting capital into the company to help us with research and development."

"During the most difficult time in Warwick, Mr. Zhang was able to maintain confidence in us, which made all our employees very grateful."

A reporter turned to look at Zhang Xiao in the crowd, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, why are you so optimistic about Huawei?"

Zhang Xiao didn't expect that the reporter would turn the gun to ask him a question, so he said, "I don't understand technology, and I don't know how difficult it is to develop a lithography machine. I just wanted to help."

"To be honest, I originally thought that even if they finally succeeded, it would take at least five or even ten years. I didn't expect to receive a call from Mr. Zhuang a few days ago, and only then did I know that they had succeeded."

"This is a bit beyond my expectation, and I am also happy for all the developers."

"Mr. Zhang, you invest in Huawei and carry out the research and development of lithography machines. Aren't you afraid that those people overseas will deal with you?"

Zhang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "To deal with me? What are they using to deal with me? Movies?"

"I'm talking about your other assets overseas."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Overseas, among the world's top 100 companies, I am a shareholder of more than [-] of them. If they want to deal with me, is it impossible to stop all these companies? This is impossible."

"Besides, I'm just an investor, and I haven't violated any rules. If they really want to blame me, then the team of lawyers I spend tens of millions of dollars on every year is not worthless."

After answering the reporter's questions, Huawei invited everyone to the banquet.

Holding a glass of red wine, Mr. Zhuang walked up to Zhang Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhang, I would like to toast you. Without you, we would not be as successful as we are today."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Old Zhuang, please don't say that, I am not as powerful as you say."
