Chapter 80 International Situation
After the interview, Hu Li returned to "normal" from that insightful look.
Laughing and laughing.
Hiss haha.
The place we found today was relatively authentic, and at least Lu Yao's food was quite enjoyable.
The mild spiciness of Sichuan and Chongqing is equivalent to medium spiciness or above for her.
After finishing the meal, my lips had turned a lovely red color as I kept sizzling.
On the contrary, Xu Ruochu, who was eating the clear soup pot, had a calm expression on his face, as if he was laughing at Sister Xiaoli's overestimation of her abilities.
Hu Li also wanted to sit at the bar, but Xu Ruochu forced her into the car.
The interview is not over yet, there will be another one tomorrow. How can a boss act so nonsense? Work requires a work attitude.
After being scolded like this by her, Hai Hou, who knew he was in the wrong, lost his little flame and sat down in the passenger seat of the Maybach.
"Oh yes, Lu Yao."
The passenger in the passenger seat turned to look at Lu Yao and said:
"Tomorrow, you and I will go to dinner. Together with Xiaochen, we will help you two make appointments with some leaders of your school. You can meet them in advance."
"...Okay."
Lu Yao understood her good intentions and readily agreed.
Soon, after sending her all the way to the hotel, Haihou, whose anger was reignited, asked:
“You really don’t want to go have a drink and relax?”
Then he was defeated by Xu Ruochu's staring eyes.
"Okay, okay, pretend I didn't say anything, let's go."
Waving her hand, she jumped into the hotel.
Lu Yao drove Xu Ruochu back to Fortune Garden.
After turning on the first traffic light, he thought for a while and said:
"Sister Chu, I start school in one week."
"Well, what?"
Xu Ruochu was looking at today's personnel information with a reading lamp and asked casually.
Anyway, in Fuhua.
When school starts, school starts.
As soon as the idea popped into her mind, she heard Lu Yao's words:
"Do we need to find a new assistant?"
"..."
Xu Ruochu paused when he wanted to turn the page.
Half a second later, he raised his head in hindsight.
Apparently, she was aware of this as well.
But immediately there was a... very strange emotion permeating my heart.
Extremely confused.
However, in the end, reason holds the majority.
After thinking for a while, she said:
"Okay, I get it."
Seeing that she understood, Lu Yao thought for a while and continued:
"Sister Chu, there is one more thing..."
"What?"
"I found out when I was looking for a cleaner today... Actually, your home is just a little messy, not dirty."
"That's for sure. You're taking care of it, so how could it be dirty?"
Lu Yaoxin said that you are quite self-aware.
But in the final analysis... he was grateful to Xu Ruochu.
So he continued:
"If you really don't feel safe in housekeeping, then I suggest you go directly to a cleaning lady. How about once a week?"
"...Wouldn't you still come home?"
"I can come over Saturday and Sunday to watch over you."
"..."
She turned the pages again.
Immediately afterwards, a response was spoken without thinking:
"Okay, then you make arrangements..."
Before she finished speaking, she seemed a little speechless.
But Lu Yao has already nodded:
"Okay. In addition, it would be better if the assistant can find someone who can cook. If you always eat out..."
"...Well. Then let's separate the driver and assistant. As for you..."
"I don't have to. I'm here to help Sister Chu. Besides, don't you also need to change those clothes? Besides, Brother Xiaochen and I are already familiar with each other, and we're still in the same school."
He doesn't plan to continue to receive a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, even if he knows that the other party is not short of money.
But one code equals another.
These changes at home, whether in the environment or on her parents' side, are all a favor from her.
Have to pay it back.
And his words inexplicably made Xu Ruochu feel better.
And he thought of something, and suddenly said:
"Then we will be friends from now on?"
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao didn't expect that she would suddenly say such a sentence.
But Xu Ruochu closed the information in his hand, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile:
"You won't go back to driving 107, will you? That Lu Yao... is very difficult to deal with."
Just like a wild horse.
she said to herself.
"Hehe. This... I'm too young."
Lu Yao could only laugh dryly.
Xu Ruochu also smiled and said with a smile:
"Just treat me like you did Hu Li. That way... it will be more comfortable."
"That will have to wait a few days."
"Ha~"
She chuckled and then asked:
"Do you like the beach?"
"...Shouldn't we just rely on the sea?"
"Yeah, but I saw that when you were in Qinghai, you were very interested in sailing a yacht as Xiaochen said. I thought you liked going there."
"It's okay. Mainly I haven't sat down before."
"That's it..."
The woman in the back seat looked thoughtful.
"Speaking of which, how many days until school starts..."
As soon as he heard these words, Lu Yao guessed her plan and quickly shook his head:
"There are so many things going on in the company. You didn't let Sister Li be lazy just now..."
"...you."
"Huh?"
"You. Since we are friends from now on, I don't want you anymore."
"Then just stay still."
"Ha~"
She chuckled again.
……
After sending her back, Lu Yao drove back home.
This time, Maybach stopped in front of the Mercedes-Benz S.
After opening the door, Lu Yuanshan asked a soul question:
"Why do you get off work so late?"
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
Why do you think I see the shadow of Moyu in you?
……
“Look at my Weibo, how was my photo taken?”
"Okay, let me take a look."
"Isn't it so cute?"
"The bite doesn't hurt, does it?"
"It doesn't hurt. Maybe it's because I locked it up for a day and it got angry. Hehe, it's so cute."
"Don't forget your dog license."
"Don't worry, I'll get it tomorrow. But I still have to send it to the fire department for training. I'm a little reluctant to bear it."
On the sofa, Lu Yao was revising his paper on his laptop while sending messages to Hu Li from time to time.
From the first day after Hai returned, she inexplicably liked texting with him.
Sometimes we can chat for three or four hours.
Lu Yaoxin said she can't treat me like a fish, right?
After all, when we first met, she often fiddled with her mobile phone, and there were quite a lot of fish in the fish pond.
But she doesn't seem to "patronize" the fish pond much recently.
At least, Lu Yao hadn't heard someone call her or ask him to take her to an appointment when he was with her for a long time.
While staring at the computer screen, he used these trivial matters as a pastime to change his mind.
This paper is already in its third edition.
In this version, he changed it to a rational style.
No exaggeration, no exaggeration, just a bystander's perspective, describing the current weaknesses of the country's semiconductor industry, and also revealing the history of Korean semiconductors, as well as the competition between Japan and South Korea that can only be said to be budding.
But he also buried a "prophecy", predicting that there will be a competition between Japanese and Korean semiconductors in the future.
At the same time, it implies that the same may be true for China and the United States.
And this kind of calm observation article is actually more difficult to write, because it cannot be subjective.
When he couldn't deliberately use rhetoric to exaggerate, he could only list it with a large amount of data.
“In the entire semiconductor supply chain, in terms of integrated chip design, intellectual property, tools, and manufacturing, our market share is less than 3%, while American companies have reached an astonishing 37%, South Korea’s 19%, and The bend is 12%.”
"And if our production capacity increases, it will inevitably compress the export space of other countries. In 2009, integrated circuit exports accounted for 18% of South Korea's exports, 22% of Singapore's exports, and 100% for Malaysia and the Philippines. Among them, the export volume of Wanwan Province is as high as 40%.”
"The increase in our production capacity will inevitably affect the exports of other countries. So, just imagine, when we hinder them from "making money", will the friendly attitude turn into coldness, alienation, or even unfriendly hostility?"< br>
After typing this paragraph, he subconsciously switched web pages.
On the webpage is news that Samsung, TSMC, and Intel successively invested in ASML, which produces photolithography machines, in 2009.
Although he is a reborn person, sometimes he has to admit that these enterprises that live in the present are amazingly forward-looking. Therefore, he is considering whether to add this forward-looking perspective to the paper.
If it is added, then he needs more scientific data related to the international situation to support it.
Otherwise, it will be empty talk and just say "ASML may not sell things to us"... In fact, it lacks theoretical support.
It seems more prophetic.
And his thinking obviously did not get Hu Li's approval.
Haihou sent the message and waited for more than ten minutes. Seeing that the other party was indifferent, she simply called him directly.
After Lu Yao recovered from the noise of the phone, he looked at the caller and asked after answering:
"Hey, Sister Li, what's wrong?"
"Say it! You're not replying to my messages!"
"Uh...oh, I didn't see it."
"...What are you doing?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Writing a short article about the chip industry."
"Why are you writing this?"
"I..."
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"I'm trying to analyze the prospects of the microelectronics industry from my own perspective."
"Ha~"
Hu Li couldn't help laughing.
"You should understand, right? This kind of industry can easily involve billions or tens of billions of investments. Do you analyze it from your own perspective? How much money do you want to make?"
"It's not about making money, it's about prospects. The prospects of our country."
"Yo? So disgusting? Then what did you analyze... Oh, bad boy, bite me again!... Can you eat the dragon fruit?"
She seemed to be teasing the dog over there.
But Lu Yao didn't care, but sighed:
"Oh, it's not optimistic."
"Huh?"
Hu Li was stunned, kicked away Xiao Bu who was "tearing" his toes crazily, and asked doubtfully:
"The outlook is not optimistic? How do you say this?"
"This..."
Lu Yao looked at his unfinished paper, thought about it, and asked:
"Sister Li, do you know anyone who studies the international situation?"
"International situation?"
"Yes, I need some... data, I guess. Mainly because there is not much available online, including the information released by the United Nations, which is also very general. This article of mine needs some more data support, and these international trends, Very few people on the Internet have access to it”
"I understand, you need someone who can see the internal publications? What level?"
"It's not like you can see the internal magazine..."
Lu Yaoxin said, do you want to put me in a dog cage?
"I just want to find some experts who understand this field to help me read the content of this article. Because their judgments on these international situations are more sensitive, I am not sure whether it is my own fantasy..."
"...Then tell me first, why are you not optimistic?"
"Okay... Do you have a computer around you? I'll send it to your email."
"Yes, wait for me to open it, and I will send you the email. I will take a look at what you wrote first."
"...Let's chat on QQ? Do you have QQ?"
"Yes, I sent it together, chat on QQ."
"Okay."
Soon, Hu Li's QQ number and email were sent.
After Lu Yao added it, he sent the unfinished content of this article.
Hu Li's QQ screen name is pretty... killer.
Called: ┃,ˊ殮议
Quite unconventional.
┃,ˊ殮议: "Let me take a look first."
Lu Yao knows the horse power: "Okay."
┃, ˊ殮议: “Can you turn on the audio?”
Lu Yao knows the horsepower: "Yes, do you want to drive it?"
┃、ˊ殮议：“Are you wearing clothes?”
Lu Yao knows the horse power: "."
┃,ˊ殮议: "Hehe. Wait for me. I will send you a video after watching it."
Lu Yao knows the horse power: "Okay."
There was silence on her side, while Lu Yao continued to think.
About ten minutes later, a video sound came from the laptop.
Lu Yao put on his headphones and connected to the video.
His laptop is actually very old, and the video pixels are quite blurry.
There is even some distortion.
But Hu Li was quite clear about it.
I saw that this sister was wearing a hood, and it seemed that she had just washed her hair.
Wearing a very ordinary set of pajamas, holding Xiaobu in his arms.
And Xiaobu obviously saw him on the screen, and suddenly started sobbing.
"Hey, Sister Li, can you hear me?"
"Yes. What is this photolithography machine you are talking about?"
"You can think of it as a disc burner that is specially designed to burn chips. The disc burner writes the content to the disc, but it writes the content to the chip."
"Is it very important to the chip industry?"
"Yes. And this ASML, is it the manufacturer of this machine?"
"Yeah."
"Is there any replacement for it?"
"At the current technical level, there is, but it's hard to say about the future. As for the current replacement...the only ones that can produce photolithography machines in the world are ASML, Nikon, and Canon. And the attributes of these three companies are Just like what I wrote..."
"It's all controlled by the United States, right?"
"To be precise, it is Western control."
"That is to say, whether someone wants to sell it to us or not, is it a matter of minutes? Do we currently have it in our country?"
"Yes, we are in Magic City, Magic City Microelectronics Group. But we are at least 20 years behind in technology."
"So long?"
"Yes. This...how should I tell you."
He really couldn't explain the future EUV lithography machine to Hu Li for a while.
I can only explain:
"Sister Li, just understand it this way. The reason why we can carve hundreds of nanometer-sized shapes on silicon wafers is, to put it bluntly, by using the wavelength and color of light. It is currently recognized that purple light is the best light source. When doing photolithography, we not only need purple light, but also photoresist to follow its path when the light shines. By corroding the material, we can get the desired image. But with this set of things, if you only have purple light, it won't work. The photoresist can't keep up, and the power won't increase, so it can't bombard the tin to a sufficient temperature. No way...it is not just a machine, but the technological crystallization of highly industrialized clusters.”
In fact, what he said is relatively general. If you really want to explain the principles of photolithography machines in detail, a 50,000-word paper may not be enough.
The EUV lithography machine instruction manual is enough to fill a room.
But Hu Li understood:
"That is to say, if we buy a photolithography machine, it won't work without photoresist. But with photoresist, if others don't sell us the materials, it won't work...right. Everyone must give the green light before we can complete the set. What are the outputs of these CPUs? ”
"Yes, it can be understood that way. The current technology in this industry is highly monopolized."
"So your article...is a hypothesis?"
"...Yes, worst-case scenario. It might be a bit over the top, but if it happens..."
"Everything must be prepared for the worst. This is the basis of struggle."
Hu Li put down the small cloth directly and stared at the screen in front of him, with a serious look on his face.
She doesn't understand technology.
But she understands people.
So, after thinking about it, she said:
"Can I show this article to others?"
"Yes, the information I checked is all public on the Internet, but I haven't finished writing it yet."
"I think these are enough. Let alone find someone who studies the international situation. Even after I read it, I feel that what you wrote here may... easily become a reality in the future. But the problem is... Do you have an answer?”
"What answer?"
"The answers to these problems."
"Yes."
"How to solve it?"
On the clear screen, she looked curious.
On another somewhat distorted screen, a blurry Lu Yao said:
"Don't be afraid of hardships, don't be afraid of difficulties, face difficulties and move forward with perseverance."
"..."
Hu Li's mouth twitched.
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Lu Yao sighed helplessly:
"The chronology of technology cannot be made up by just patting the head. Just like the atomic bomb, isn't our atomic bomb the result of those meritorious deeds after Big Brother formulated a large model foundation? Sister Li , the most difficult thing in the world is the starting stage from 0 to 1. We are at this stage now, and... I think the sooner we start, the better.”
"Well..."
Hu Li tilted his head.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the boy opposite the video.
The pixels are blurred and cannot be seen clearly.
But...that distress has already overflowed from the screen.
After thinking for a moment, she said:
"Then I will help you find someone, and we will make an appointment to chat. If possible, it is best to find someone to polish it. After this cutting-edge article is completed, I will help you show it to higher-level people. How about it? ?”
"...Is it too exaggerated?"
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
He couldn't guess how high the "master" that Sister Li meant was.
Three or four floors... I'm afraid it's more than that, right?
"No, the most important thing about cutting-edge articles is not the scientific theory, but whether we are ready and able to accept the extended sense of crisis once it becomes reality. You have never seen anything more exaggerated. ...I have seen all the doomsday theories.”
"Okay then..."
"Well...then you have to treat me to dinner! I want to eat auntie's sweet and sour pork ribs!"
"Uh..."
Lu Yao was stunned and said with a smile:
"Okay."
"Hehe~"
At the other end of the video, the woman in pajamas was smiling.
