Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 727 The Truth

"Lifting the Ban is the Real Obstacle" was finally published in the Beijing Youth Daily through Shen Hongyi's efforts. Although this article involves photolithography machines, it does not talk about things that are obscure to ordinary people. It describes A conspiracy has attracted more attention.

People are always interested in this kind of thing.

The views attracted support from a few people, but were criticized by more people:

"Well, lifting the embargo has become an obstacle, but the implication is that it would be better to keep it sealed? What kind of logic is that?"

"Such remarks are not conducive to international unity. How can we maliciously speculate on something that has not happened yet?"

"The country has become strong, and others want to restrict our development but cannot do so. Now we are actively approaching us to discuss cooperation. As a great country, we should not be petty, but should adopt a magnanimous and welcoming attitude."

"Chen Chunxian obviously said this because he was afraid that his company's photolithography machines would not be sold..."

Similar arguments abound on the streets.

One phenomenon is: after the Beijing Youth Daily published such eye-catching news, no other newspaper reprinted it.

Everything has two sides. If you think about it on the bright side, Li Jiankun knows that the superiors have noticed it.

Two days after the article appeared in the newspaper, Chen Chunxian received a notice from the Association for Science and Technology, asking him to go over for a meeting. This meeting was a little different. Chen Chunxian called Li Jiankun and wanted to take him with him.

As soon as the meeting began, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

This is a good thing, it shows that the higher authorities really take it seriously.

"Because we believe that given the breakthroughs your country has made in the field of lithography machines, there is no need for an embargo."

"This is slander, pure slander!" A white man slapped a newspaper on the table and said in English. The translation was very good, and even the emotions were translated well.

"A person who is caught sneaking around will always become angry and angry." Before coming, Chen Chunxian was already prepared to quarrel.

"Then tell me why the embargo was not lifted earlier and later, but at this time?" The main speaker was Chen Chunxian, with Li Jiankun as a staff officer.

In the conference room, there is a large rectangular conference table covered with dark blue tablecloth. In front of each seat is a white porcelain cup with a lid, with tea brewed in it.

"What evidence do you have for saying that?" The white man with the newspaper in front of him poked at it.

As soon as the two sat down, footsteps came from the door. Several tall white men walked in first under the guidance of the staff. Along with them was a Chinese face carrying a briefcase, who was probably a translator. Then several short Asian faces walked in, and finally people from the Association for Science and Technology and several leaders whose backgrounds were unknown.

"Then why was there an embargo before?"

In Chen Chunxian's office in the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Building, Li Jiankun rushed over after receiving the news. After hearing the situation, he looked surprised.

"We came here with good intentions, but we were slandered like this. It's really heartbreaking!" The Japanese delegation did not bring a translator. There was a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair who spoke Chinese quite fluently.

The next morning, Li Jiankun and Chen Chunxian came to the Science and Technology Association compound at No. 3 Fuxing Road together, and at 8:55, under the guidance of the staff, they walked into a well-arranged conference room.

“According to what the Association for Science and Technology said, it’s almost in this form,” Chen Chunxian explained. “People from the Japanese, Benzene and Lao American delegations will also be present. Plus us, the three parties gathered together to make their words clear. People from the association and relevant leaders will definitely listen and most likely want to hear a true answer."

"debate?"

"Your Excellency's maliciousness is disappointing and is very detrimental to the development of the relationship between the two parties!" Ni Hong, a man with Mediterranean hair, said angrily.

The people from the Association for Science and Technology and a few leaders whose origins were unknown remained silent and listened quietly.

These remarks made the representatives of the two countries very angry.

Their target was directly at Chen Chunxian.

Then we have to go, Li Jiankun thought.

Li Jiankun noticed that the people from the Lao American and Japanese delegations looked at him and Chen Chunxian, and they all looked a little unkind. Obviously they had already read the news, so it was surprising to see smiling faces.

Representatives of Japan Benzene: "..."

Representatives of the beautiful country: "..."

Everyone knows the truth, but in such an occasion, it is undoubtedly inappropriate to put it on the table.

Chen Chunxian sneered and asked himself: "Don't you just want to restrict our development? We had this intention before, but now we suddenly become good-hearted people? Do we believe it ourselves?"

"I just said that because you have achieved outstanding results in this area, there is no need for another embargo. Isn't this a good thing? Why do you have such ulterior motives?"

"Listening to what you said, we can understand your suspicion, but we have not suddenly become good-hearted people. We are mainly considering our own interests. Since there is no need for an embargo, why not cooperate so that both parties can benefit from it?" What’s the benefit?”

Li Jiankun could see that it was impossible to tell the truth if he continued to distinguish like this. He kept paying attention to the expressions of the leaders and found that their eyes were full of confusion. He turned sideways and whispered in Chen Chunxian's ear for a while.

During this process, people from Japan and the United States pointed fingers at him and inquired about his identity.

Someone from the Association for Science and Technology introduced: "He is a partner of China Silicon Valley Company."

People in the Association for Science and Technology actually know Li Jiankun's other identity: the general manager of the Special Economic Zone Huadian Company. But there is no need to mention this. Such an identity gave Chen Chunxian advice, but Japan and the United States had nothing to say.

Chen Chunxian said: "Okay, since you keep saying that there is no conspiracy and you sincerely want to cooperate with us, then I would like to know what are the specific contents of your lifting of the embargo on lithography machine technology?"

The American and Japanese people looked at each other and were a little hesitant when facing this question. However, under the sharp eyes of Li Jiankun, Chen Chunxian and the leaders present, the American translator still replied: "There is no content, only photolithography." machine."

Japan's Mediterranean added: "Isn't it good to sell the finished products to you? Of course, if you buy our products, we will definitely provide a full set of technical support in accordance with the relevant terms."

"This is not enough!"

Chen Chunxian said solemnly: "If you are really open and honest, you should open the embargo on all technologies in the field of lithography machines to us. We will not get it for nothing. We will pay for it, right? This is only fair."

"This is impossible!" the American side said immediately.

"Professor, are you simply wishful thinking, opening up all technologies? Are you kidding? We and the United States also reserve some technologies from each other."

"Don't go too far. You understand what I mean. I didn't mention the guaranteed technologies. I was referring to the related technologies you sell to other developed countries. If you cooperate in good faith, we should enjoy equal treatment."

The leaders present all laughed. This was actually a topic they had planned to discuss at the negotiation table, but raising it now seems to have a better effect.

People in the United States and Japan are beginning to have difficulties. Today's meeting is extremely important. It may directly determine whether this country will develop lithography machine technology in the future. They have now become the first echelon in the world...

If you don't agree to the other party's conditions, you can't talk about the word "sincerity". On the other hand, it seems that they have a conspiracy.

Yes, it's beyond the scope of the plan that was planned when they came. Do they care about the amount of money this poor country is willing to pay to purchase photolithography machines?

"We need to discuss it." The American representative stood up and left first.

Then the Japanese representatives also left.

"The conditions just mentioned are very good," a leader looked at Li Jiankun and said, "If they agree, it means you really think too badly of them."

Li Jiankun just haha.

Chen Chunxian asked: "What if they don't agree?"

"From now on, we will increase our efforts to develop photolithography machines and technologies in related fields!" Another leader said, patting the table with his hands.

Chen Chunxian and Li Jiankun looked at each other, and the former shouted in his heart: I agree if I have the right! Jiankun's plan worked!

However, the United States and Japan agreed.

After they returned to the conference room, they readily promised to treat the country equally and provide all technologies in the field of photolithography machines except the bottom of the box.

Chen Chunxian was dumbfounded, thinking how could they agree?

Li Jiankun frowned. For a while, he couldn't figure out what the United States and Japan were planning. A stop-gap measure, a temporary promise to paralyze us?

It's hard to guess, maybe there is a deeper calculation. He is just relying on the experience of his previous life. There are too many people smarter than him in this world. However, it was the experience of his previous life that made him understand a truth: the United States and Japan can never be trusted!

"But we have a condition," Japan's Mediterranean finger Chen Chunxian said angrily, "is this enough to prove our sincerity? He uses a villain's heart to judge a gentleman, slandered us, and slandered us. He must apologize to us publicly. !”

Chen Chunxian: "..."

The people from the Association for Science and Technology agreed to this matter, because now, in their opinion, Chen Chunxian is indeed responsible for conspiracy theories, and they should publicly apologize to others.

Chen Chunxian is still a member of the Academy of Sciences and must be under the supervision of the Science and Technology Association.

However, after the meeting, people from the Association for Science and Technology also expressed concern for Lao Chen, and his conspiracy theory finally paid off with generous benefits.

Lao Chen was very hurt and looked at Li Jiankun with a rather resentful look.

"Do you think I'm wrong? They don't have a conspiracy?" Li Jiankun asked sideways on the bus back to Zhongguancun.

"But they did promise to treat us equally and export their technology." Chen Chunxian felt particularly uncomfortable thinking about having to publish a public apology to the other party in the newspaper. His reputation would be tarnished, and the company would also suffer.

"I was bypassed by them just now and ignored an obvious problem." Li Jiankun said.

"what?"

"Look at the current environment," Li Jiankun pointed out the car window. "The focus of all work has shifted to the economy. There is nothing wrong with developing the economy, but it will also bring about quick success and quick profits. In such an impetuous environment, who can use ready-made machines? Will they still spend a lot of money to introduce photolithography machine technology for research?

"Even in the past, we only had three units researching lithography machines. Although the United States and Japan agreed to the conditions, and the leaders were very happy about it, it was actually of no use. There will no longer be units investing in research and development like a bottomless pit. Lithography machine."

Chen Chunxian was dumbfounded again. After a while, he slapped his thigh. Isn’t that the truth?

"Then, what should we do? Shouldn't our talk be in vain? I still have to apologize to them..."

In Chen Chunxian's eyes, Li Jiankun, who had been sullen just now, suddenly grinned: "If you don't talk in vain, if others don't introduce you, I will do it!"

There is no other hope. Li Jiankun has truly seen clearly that the current social situation cannot be changed by personal ability. People want to trick us, but we are indeed ignorant and lack long-term vision.

He can only create a chip business in this country by himself.
