Chapter 499 The world opens its eyes to China
Adhering to the principle of "let's talk about anything after the Spring Festival", Linjiang (officially) postponed Asma's photolithography machine recall plan to February.
But Asuma didn't seem to be in a hurry.
They issued a recall notice in late January, and also added a clause that if the photolithography machine is damaged due to continued use, no money will be refunded.
It sounds like my mother opened the door for me - it's so outrageous.
Nonsense? Isn’t this right?
You yourself said that there is a problem with the lithography machine and you need to recall it, but you also said that if I continue to use it, you won’t get a penny back if it breaks?
The logic is "There is a hidden danger that it may break if I use it, but I just have to fulfill my obligation to remind you."
It's your problem if you continue to use it despite the advice.
Typical self-righteous terms.
Maybe they themselves know it's unreasonable.
Everyone thought that the notice was sent out in such a hurry that it would be difficult to deal with it, but who knew that they were blocked by the words "Celebrate the Spring Festival first".
Li Yan guessed that technology monopolies like Asma might also be dissatisfied with the operation of "emergency recall if there is a problem with their own products."
This is tantamount to destroying one's own brand and making excuses for oneself.
But due to the pressure from the United States, it was a last resort.
It is a typical state of being a working man. If you ask me to do it, I dare not not do it, but if you don’t push me, I won’t move. If you push me, I can get it done right away.
In the eyes of Asma and America, China is bound to suffer heavy losses in this wave.
At the national level, it is impossible to end up for a photolithography machine. Even if you know what is actually going on, you cannot and will not put too much pressure on Asma.
Huaxin International also hopes to do business with Asma, and Hua Ke Academy of Sciences and Linjiang cannot put any pressure on Asma in this matter.
As for future technology?
You are the one being hit.
In mid-February, Asma issued another reminder and even sent a liaison specialist to the scene to communicate.
What is more surprising is that they directly found future technology.
At least on the surface, it was Huaxin International who purchased this device, and it also had a strategic partner, the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Although it is not a secret in the industry that Li Yan is researching lithography machines, it is a bit unpleasant to not hide it at all.
Are you showing your intelligence level?
Li Yan warmly received the other party and said, "There is indeed something wrong with your product."
In one sentence, the engineer who came from afar was confused.
"Impossible." Although Mr. Christopher was surprised by the foreign language proficiency of the legendary young CEO, he was still more concerned about Li Yan's "picking".
"Isn't this what you said, Mr. Christopher?" Li Yan said with a smile.
"Then may I ask Mr. Li, what is the problem?"
"You still need to ask me? It's the same problem as you found."
Christopher sensed some of the malevolence of Eastern wisdom.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Li, we have never announced what problems we found. The problem you found is not caused by improper use, right? We have said that if you still use the machine after we request a recall, the damage will be caused." , we will not refund the money.”
Li Yan kept smiling, "Christopher, I think you are very interesting. There is a saying in China, 'Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps.' I don't know if you underestimate me too much, or you haven't implemented what was originally planned. strategy.”
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You can say that your products have unfounded problems, but others can't. Whether there is a problem with a machine, you don't listen to the opinions of the buyers and users, ignore the questions raised by your own side, and categorically say 'impossible', because You know he has no problem at all. The so-called recall is just a cheap excuse."
Christopher is white and is about to become red.
"Mr. Li Yan, you can guess as you like, but I have only one purpose for coming today. We have to recycle the problematic products."
"It's so sad to have a technological monopoly but not be able to escape the control of the United States." Li Yan shook his head.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, but Mr. Li, there is no point in continuing to delay."
"I didn't say I wouldn't give it back." Li Yan shrugged.
Christopher was stunned, "You have to keep your word."
"Of course, but there is indeed a problem with your product as you said. I will help you fix it and the money will be refunded."
"You said, repair?"
"Yes, I also disassembled some parts."
Christopher's eyes were wide-eyed. He was a little fat and had a golden beard all over his face, which fit the stereotype of an "electronic engineer" in the West. His expression at this moment also fit the description of "blowing his beard and staring".
Li Yan said nothing and allowed him to stand up and move around in the conference room.
In fact, there were many people in the conference room, but because Li Yan didn't need an interpreter, the others basically didn't know what was being discussed.
The translator Asma paid for was also confused. He was obviously the only three people present who knew what was being discussed, but he was of no use or presence at all.
"You repaired our photolithography machine and disassembled some parts?" Christopher obviously couldn't accept this. "You have no idea what you did! Li! You still want us to refund the money, what a joke!"
"It's strange. You said that there was a problem with the product and you wanted to recall it. I fixed it for you and returned it, but you're not ready to refund the money? This doesn't sound good, right?"
"Deharinghangtaanzijneigenkieuwen!" This Christopher also picked up the proverb.
The translator suddenly became excited, thinking that he finally had his own use.
"The clear meaning of this sentence is that the herring relies on its own gills..."
"Of course I will take responsibility for my actions," Li Yan said, "I don't understand what you are angry about. You can verify whether the machine can still operate, and we can witness it together."
The translator shut up. He really had nothing to do here.
"I've heard that the Chinese are good at playing this kind of game, but don't think you can use our rhetoric to destroy a precious lithography machine and ask us to refund the money. And you don't want to leave any core components, either. Asma won’t let you keep a single screw of what you removed! You don’t want to...”
Speaking of this, Christopher was completely red-hot, "Don't think that this method can deceive the upright Dutch people!"
Li Yan smiled.
Everyone else at the scene felt very strange. The white man was so anxious that all he said was Dutch, and they couldn't understand it at all. In their eyes, one was so hot that he was about to jump, and the other was calm and calm. laugh.
"Mr. Christopher, don't put gold on your face. You Netherlands still talk about equality and refuse to talk about privileges. How can you see any equality in what Asma did today with future technology? What you just said is ridiculous. It’s so ridiculous, it’s all just conjecture.”
"I think there is no need for us to talk anymore. Please return the photolithography machine and all parts immediately."
"Will the purchase price be refunded in full?"
"We will communicate with you about this follow-up, it is not something I can decide today."
"It's useless to talk for a long time." Li Yan smiled, "Let's go, I will take you to inspect and accept the lithography machine."
Comrade Christopher followed Li Yan to the production workshop of Huaxin International. There are also some related people here talking about refunding money, but the talks are in a harmonious manner - after all, they are the general sales agents in the Asia-Pacific region.
But soon, they were all dumbfounded.
"The number is correct?" Christopher said to himself, repeatedly verifying that the lithography machine in front of him was operating normally.
"Of course, if this wasn't your machine, we would be even happier." The expression on Mr. Liang's face was extremely proud - even more confident than Li Yan looked.
"Didn't you say you dismantled...what?!" Before Christopher could finish his question, he saw Li Yan pointing at a box of parts on the ground.
There are numbers on it too.
what does that mean?
Li Yan dismantled the machine, and then the machine was still running normally... He didn't dare to think about it at all, and his eyes changed when he looked at Li Yan.
The general sales agent didn't react yet, but he said, "According to our agreement, if this machine continues to operate and is damaged, 90% will be deducted from the refund?"
Li Yan waved her hand, "There is a problem with this machine. I fixed it and optimized it. Now I will send it back to you together with the extra parts."
"This is impossible..." Christopher was still shocked.
He even began to convince himself that Li Yan was just lucky.

I even came up with the saying "just because it can be dismantled and modified does not mean it can be built".
The face that continued to be red and warm calmed down and even became a little bloodless.
"We must bring the machine back immediately and refund the money that should be refunded."
He was sincerely worried about another level of problem - the loss of technological monopoly status.
It seems that in the eyes of this senior Dutch engineer, future technology is still at the stage where it is necessary to compare this photolithography machine one by one. As long as he takes it away in time, he can intercept China's research and development process.
This is not about being a lackey of the old America, but actually thinking about your own company, or even your own good job.
Huaxia's products have always been famous for their quality. As long as Huaxia can produce products, they must be the best in the same category in terms of price, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
If we really build a photolithography machine... my good life will be ruined!
As a result, Li Yan replied calmly, "Okay, I won't pay for the shipping costs."
Why did you agree so simply?
Christopher was a little anxious. He was tired of seeing the boy's relaxed expression.
What he needs is for Li Yan to be panicked about "taking away the lithography machine immediately"!
Damn it, you are so relaxed, do you really no longer need a reference?
Have you really mastered the photolithography machine?
"Look for the dog in the pot."
Before leaving, Li Yan smiled and said to Christopher in Mandarin.
The translator, who had been on the verge of OB for a whole game, once again found an excellent opportunity to output, and quickly said to Christopher, who was frowning and confused, "Dehondindepotvinden."
The meaning is "too late to prevent things from happening", that is, "you are too late".
This translation also specifically adds that "Li Yan literally translated this proverb in Chinese."
"Ke Gong"'s face changed drastically, he took a few breaths and responded:
"Deduivelophetkussenbinden."
The translator habitually wanted to go back and translate for Li Yan and the others, but saw that Li Yan had already started to explain to the people around him:
"He said I could tie the devil to a pillow. Doesn't the meaning need to be explained?"
A group of ministers and senior executives shook their heads in unison like children.
The comrade translator turned around angrily and got into the car with the Asma delegation.
This result was unexpected by Asuma.
You were originally going to put pressure on others to increase their strength, but why did you end up being increased in strength for a long time?
The top management reacted greatly to the fact that "Li Yan may be able to handle the photolithography machine" brought back by Christopher.
Although they kept saying "impossible", it could be seen from the high-level internal meeting that Asma quickly held that they were quite uneasy.
What they didn't expect was that Li Yan even took this opportunity to start a public opinion war.
The core content is very simple, "Asma's photolithography machine did have a problem as they said. I helped repair it and sent them all the parts together. I hope the refund will be received as soon as possible."
< br>
"impossible" quickly became "unbelievable".
They also thought that as the so-called "family scandal should not be publicized", China did not have a lithography machine, and it would be ugly to recall it even if it was recalled, so they did not dare to speak out.
Unexpectedly, these words became a boomerang and hit me in the head.
"The photolithography machine has an unknown malfunction" was confirmed by Li Yan and became a plaster on Asma's face.
They underestimated Li Yan's influence in China and misjudged a very critical premise——
China’s lithography machine research and development progress.
Of course, they still retained the idea that Li Yan was just bluffing and setting off smoke bombs.
But as the engineering team conducted an in-depth analysis of the parts removed by Li Yan and found that they did not affect the operation of the lithography machine, Asma became a little panicked.
They used to talk about tens of thousands of parts, but they never thought about whether every part was necessary.
At least some of the extra parts for "guaranteing operation" really didn't have any necessity analysis done.
Now they are being taught by a country that believes that "you can't make it even if it gives you blueprints."
No, it's a... high school student in this country!
Refunding this money is as uncomfortable as eating shit.
But they know very well that "family scandals should not be made public", so after completing the recall of photolithography machines, it is regarded as a mission to the United States.
I didn't tell them these things.
As for the U.S. intelligence network’s inquiring about Future Technology’s development of photolithography machines, that’s hardly news.
Who isn’t “in” doing it yet?
Even if you can't come up with something, just do it. Academic circles all over the world have always had this tradition. If you can't come up with something through research, you have to rely on the research itself to get funding.
Time passed like this in silence for more than a month with the moist breath of spring.
However, on March 21, 2012, a piece of news was like a sudden spring thunder, waking up people who were suffering from spring sleepiness.
“China’s first immersion DUV lithography machine was successfully developed.”
This news made the whole world widen their eyes. They looked at Huaxia, at Linjiang, at future technology, and at the young man who continued to create miracles at higher levels.
"Really," Li Yan looked at the title of the report and expressed dissatisfaction to Sun Miao, "I already said that just write 'lithography machine, done'. It is said that the shorter the news, the bigger the matter. Writing like this feels ordinary. .”
Sun Miao nodded, wrote quickly, and recorded in his notebook: "The words of God are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us."
