Chapter 909 Great things in the field of technology

Zhuang Laodao: "Mr. Zhang, I have good news for you. Our chip company has finally developed a machine that can produce 7NM chips, and it can now be directly mass-produced."

Previously, Zhang Xiao invested 3 billion US dollars to establish a chip research and development base with Huawei. In addition to chip research and development, the most important thing is the research of lithography machines.

In the past few years, Zhang Xiaolu has successively invested a lot of money in it, and now holds 45% of the base's shares.

Originally, Zhang Xiao thought that all his money was wasted, but he didn't expect that it would actually come true.

Zhang Xiao quickly asked: "Have you done any experiments?"

"It's been done!" Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "The test results proved that there are no problems, and the yield rate is even much higher than that of foreign products."

Zhang Xiao chuckled and said: "In other words, the chokehold strategy implemented by other places, led by the Lighthouse Country, towards us is completely over, right?"

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

Zhang Xiao said: "But we have made a good start. The most important thing is that our mobile phone production does not need to depend on other people's faces."

Mr. Zhuang said: "This really makes us breathe a sigh of relief."

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

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Even without me, you will have no problem, because you are the pride of our entire country."

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

Zhang Xiao naturally understood what Mr. Zhuang meant, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will be there at the determined time. Mr. Zhuang, do you want to become a chip supplier for these technology companies?"

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

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "If this happens, those overseas chip companies will probably cry."

"I just want to make them cry!" Zhuang Lao said: "Their selling price is dozens of times higher than the cost price. It is simply sucking the blood of technology companies like us. I plan to reduce the price to one-third of that abroad.

One, what do you think Mr. Zhang?”

"Of course I have no problem." Zhang Xiao said: "By the way, our successful development of a 7-nanometer lithography machine has not been disclosed to the outside world, right?"

"Not yet." Mr. Zhuang 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 and make some money from it. Mr. Zhuang, are you interested?"

"Let's forget it, right?" Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and said: "Although I know that the probability of making money this time is 100%, but there are two out of one. Our company is an entity and will never be involved in capital.

"

Hearing his words, Zhang Xiao was extremely impressed.

No wonder Warwick Company has been able to reach today. This can be seen from the founder's pattern. If it were Zhang Xiao, if there was an almost 100% chance to make money, 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 the United States.

Clark asked with some confusion: "Boss, after the financial crisis, the market value of these technology companies has risen to far exceed 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 and didn't ask any more questions.

When it comes to secretly shorting a company's stock price, Clark can be said to be very familiar with it.

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

···

On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, there are only ten days left before New Year’s Eve.

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

Dozens of technology companies and investment companies across the country were all present, including Erma, Zhang Yiyi and others who were familiar to Zhang Xiao.

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

Although everyone knows that Zhang Xiao owns 10% of Douyin's shares and is also one of the shareholders of several technology companies, he basically only hangs out in the entertainment industry and has never appeared in the business circle.

So when they saw Zhang Xiao coming in, Boss Ma and others immediately gathered around.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiao chuckled and said, "What the hell, are you trying to get an autograph from me?"

Shen Ma said: "I really want one. My daughter is your super fan. If she knew you were here, she would definitely cry and come to me."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "That's really an honor for me, one. How are you doing now?"

Zhang Mingming smiled bitterly and replied: "Mr. Zhang, all your previous guesses have turned out to be that the company suffered heavy losses last year."

Like Warwick, Douyin encountered strong resistance after seeing the huge success of Douyin's overseas version of the app.

This made Douyin's development overseas difficult. You must know that in order to build Douyin APP's reputation overseas, Zhang Yiming spent a lot of money, and when he was about to reap rewards, he was knocked unconscious with a stick.

Over the past year, it has lost nearly three billion U.S. dollars, which is almost the death of the company. Even though the company's assets have reached 111 billion, its actual profits are actually not high.

Zhang Xiao said: "In the past hundred years, some top overseas technology companies have been dominating global technology. Now that they are targeting you, it shows that you have threatened their dominance. You should feel proud and proud."

Zhang Mingming said: "The problem is that they can't afford to lose. We have been looking for solutions for a while, but with little success."

Ma Laodao: "They want your core algorithm."

Zhang Mingming said: "Even if I give up overseas business, I will never hand over the core algorithm to them, otherwise our Douyin will be doomed."

"It's best if you think so." Zhang Xiao said: "Mr. Zhuang and the others have faced much more difficult difficulties than you in the past two years, and they still haven't given in. This is nothing."

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

Zhang Xiao was stunned 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 that will bring us huge surprises, and they didn't say anything else."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "This time I can indeed bring you a huge surprise, and it may even change the current pattern of the global science and technology field."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

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

If Mr. Zhuang and the others hadn't stocked up a lot of goods, they might not have been able to support it long ago.

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

Boss Ma's mind was spinning the fastest and he asked directly: "Does it mean that Boss Zhuang and the others already have nanochips?"

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

···

At ten o'clock sharp.

Warwick Group's founder Zhuang Lao, CEO Yu Zhendong and other senior executives came out.

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

Yu Zhendong nodded and walked directly onto the stage.

Facing a technology giant and reporter from China, Yu Zhendong took a deep breath and said: "Dear bosses and fellow reporters, 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."

"The first sentence is that after five years of hard work, Warwick Chip R&D 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 false? With seven-nanometer lithography machines, have Warwick already achieved this level?"

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

"I always thought that Warwick Chip Company only develops chips, but I didn't expect that it has been working hard on the lithography machine. Did they already know that they would encounter difficulties in this area?"

"Warwick is amazing, and Mr. Zhuang is amazing. They have successfully produced seven-nanometer chips. Then we won't have to be choked by others in the future."

"Although Warwick is not yet capable of producing five-nanometer and three-nanometer chips, the key business of restarting Huawei's mobile phones has made a breakthrough, and nothing can stop its rise."

"This is indeed a major event that affects the world's technological landscape!"

“···”

Just as everyone was talking about it, Yu Zhendong continued: "Second sentence, we know that all brother companies are suffering from chip prices. As long as you are willing, we can provide you with better quality and cheaper chips.

Nanochip.”

"Okay, I've finished the two sentences I want to say. Now let's take a look at the whole process of manufacturing the domestic lithography machine developed by our company."

As soon as the words fell, the big screen on the stage suddenly lit up, and everyone's eyes focused on it.

What was shown on the screen was the assembly process of a photolithography machine and all the various technologies.

Zhang Xiao didn't understand it, he just thought it was a little high-minded.

But some of the technology experts around them have already let out bursts of exclamation, which shows how much Warwick has shocked them this time.

The entire video lasted only six or seven minutes. When it was played to the end, a line of text suddenly appeared: [Special thanks to Mr. Zhang Xiao for his huge help in the process of developing the lithography machine. ]

Shen Ma, who was sitting next to Zhang Xiao, asked: "Mr. Zhang, does Warwick Electronics R&D Company have something to do with you?"
