Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 615 There is a world of difference between the two
There is no rationale for the rise and fall of semiconductors, and the destruction is huge.

In just five years, Ausmar took over half of Connie's market.

However, there are many other factors responsible for the failure of the island country's semiconductor, which can be said to be hard to recover from.

Until [-], the general layout of lithography machines will be finalized.

To sum it up in one sentence, Kenney built a high-rise building, Osman entertained guests, and the remaining lithography machine companies all collapsed in mourning.

The formation of this pattern means that China will be subject to various foreign restrictions in the future in terms of chips.

The difficulties Warwick encountered in its previous life were largely due to chip constraints.

If we can get Osman's shares now and allow Warwick to start entering the lithography machine industry now, it will have an absolute advantage and this situation will never happen again.

"He's the marketing manager, uh... not really, they only have a dozen people in the company now." Smith thought for a while and decided to tell the truth to Chen Jianghai.

Now Chen Jianghai is his partner and half-boss, and he doesn't dare to deceive him.

But what he couldn't understand was that Chen Jianghai seemed to suddenly become very interested.

"Smith, bring your friends, I'll treat you to dinner in Fuchun tonight."

Chen Jianghai patted Smith on the shoulder and said.

Smith was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

After sending Smith away, Chen Jianghai immediately dialed Ren Shifei's phone number.

Regarding photolithography machines, Chen Jianghai has always wanted to enter this industry as early as possible.

But there was no one to show the way, and Warwick had just started. Entering the lithography machine industry was simply a fantasy.

You must know that there are more than 10,000 parts in a photolithography machine, and it takes several years to adjust.

Warwick, which currently has no foundation at all, wants to research lithography machines on its own, but it is basically impossible.

Now the appearance of Osmay gave Chen Jianghai a light of hope.

Under this circumstance, Chen Jianghai decided to let Ren Shifei start research on photolithography machines as soon as possible. No matter how much money was spent, it was worth it.

"Mr. Chen, hello."

The call was quickly connected, and Ren Shifei's voice came over.

"Mr. Ren, I have a situation that I need to discuss with you."

Afterwards, Chen Jianghai talked about the photolithography machine in a few words, and asked Huawei if it had the ability to develop this thing by itself.

Ren Shifei on the other end of the phone never expected that Chen Jianghai would suddenly mention this matter.

You must know that what Warwick is making now is a digital program-controlled switch, and it has nothing to do with this lithography machine.

"Mr. Chen, what are we doing with this thing?" Ren Shifei asked in confusion.

Chen Jianghai was slightly startled when he heard this. How could he ask this?

But he soon realized that his suggestion was too advanced.

Chen Jianghai can understand the importance of chips because he knows that future generations of chips will play a crucial role in various fields.

At present, domestic attention to lithography machines is not enough.

Even Ren Shifei felt that this thing had little to do with them for the time being.

By the time someone chokes you with a chip, it's already too late.

"I want to invest in this industry, what do you think?"

Chen Jianghai said in a different way.

Chen Jianghai now understands that Warwick has just started, and it is indeed a bit difficult for him to develop a photolithography machine.

Ren Shifei was silent for a while, and then replied: "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, the resolution of domestic lithography machines is 80 microns, which is the level of foreign countries in the [-]s. Now foreign data in this regard has been It’s down to the nanoscale.”

From Ren Shifei's answer, it can be seen that he does not have much confidence in this industry.The most important thing is that the current domestic market trend is like this. It is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy.

It is precisely with this mentality that many people have allowed the development of many industries to remain stagnant.

When I wanted to develop and catch up in the future, I found that there was no foundation at all, and even the threshold was blocked by foreign countries.

"Mr. Chen, the investment in the photolithography machine industry is quite large. Even if you invest hundreds of millions, you may not see splash."

Seeing that Chen Jianghai didn't speak, Ren Shifei added another sentence.

I have to say that the photolithography machine industry is indeed not something that ordinary people can enter if they want to.

The capital alone can dissuade 90.00% of investors.

Moreover, this industry does not require a one-time investment, but requires continuous blood transfusion.

More importantly, it doesn’t mean that if you invest, you will be able to start it and make money.

Take OSMI, which dominated the lithography machine industry in its previous life, as an example. It didn't start making profits until it successfully developed EUV lithography machines.

It took Osmet 26 years to develop an EUV lithography machine from scratch.

Let’s talk about a very simple data. Osman’s investment in EUV lithography machines has reached a terrifying 60 billion euros, which is more than 470 billion yuan when converted into RMB.

It can be seen from this data that the lithography machine industry is definitely a big money burner.

In the past, many Internet companies talked about burning money to seize the market, but when compared with the investment in top-level technology R&D funds, the two are not at the same level.

The meanings of the two are also very different.

Hearing what Ren Shifei said, Chen Jianghai's heart sank slightly. It seemed that the other party did not agree with this proposal.

"Mr. Ren, do you mean you don't recommend that I enter this industry?"

Chen Jianghai followed and asked.

Ren Shifei thought about it and replied: "Mr. Chen, what I mean is that if you want to enter this industry, you have to be mentally prepared to burn money."

"Don't worry about this. I'm mentally prepared. No matter how much money I invest, I won't hesitate." Chen Jianghai replied word for word.

Ren Shifei on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chen Jianghai's words.

"Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, we in Warwick actually established an integrated circuit design center the year before last, and we have some experience in this regard."

Chen Jianghai couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Ren, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Chen, listen to me and tell you slowly."

Ren Shifei sighed and then expressed his concerns.

There are two main aspects. One is the funding issue he just mentioned.

But after getting Chen Jianghai's affirmative answer, he no longer worried about it.

Having been in contact with Chen Jianghai several times, Ren Shifei knew that the other person was a person who kept his word and did what he said.

Since he can show such determination and do whatever it takes, it means that he really wants to get this thing done.

As for the second thing, Ren Shifei is most worried about: foreign technological blockade.

You must know that in the field of photolithography machines, there are still days when the island country is the only one.

Behind the island country, you can still see the shadow of the United States.

As far as lithography machine technology is concerned, China's situation is actually very dangerous.

What Ren Shifei was worried about was that the money was invested, but in the end it was floundering and there was no progress at all.

But if we don’t invest money in it, this industry will always stagnate.

Therefore, the domestic lithography machine industry is currently in a dilemma.

We need pioneers and we need devotees.
