"Toshiba made a request to visit our fab, with the reason that it was necessary to confirm the production of USB drives and whether technology outside their authorization was applied."

Not only was Tang Jun's face not indignation, but he seemed a little interested. In theory, this accusation was a great insult to the credit of a company. Moreover, the structure of the USB flash drive was very simple. In addition to the NAND memory circuit, it was just a control chip. The technology involved can be said to be clear at a glance, and there is no need to specifically check the production line. It can be said that this requirement is 100% Xiang Zhuang Wujian, intended for Pei Gong.

Zhou Shuo didn't care at all. He touched his chin and said calmly: "Don't agree to Toshiba too easily. It seems that the secret line arranged by President Fang has already brought Toshiba and Nikon together. We don't need to worry at this time, Nikon should be anxious."

"Okay, let's see if I don't squeeze Toshiba out of oil!" Tang Jun exposed his back teeth fiercely, obviously he was going to start a big killing.

The hard negotiations lasted for a week. As a well-known professional manager in later generations, Tang Jun really won the best conditions for Fanhan Group. As long as Toshiba's requirements are met, various chip production equipment with 0.5 micron process can be sold openly to Fanhan Group. In addition, even the NAND memory production patent license has been granted for ten years. Although the technical patent of USB flash drive needs to be authorized to Toshiba, it is a percentage commission. The final price of 10% patent fee is quite a bit of the shameless style of Qualcomm in later generations.

Of course, it is unknown what kind of reward Nikon provided to Toshiba for this. In short, for a long time, Tang Jun had a relished attitude towards this negotiation.

The entire investigation team was quickly formed the second day after the negotiations ended. Not only were Nikon's non-staff members, but there were even officials from the Japanese government's Ministry of Trade and Industry. However, regardless of the source, they were all members of Toshiba's inspection team from an official level.

"Mr. Beidalu, please come here." Xiao Feifei looked impatient and led the way for the Japanese investigation team.

Although she became the director of the Panhan Research Institute, Xiao Feifei did not seem to have made any changes to internal regulations. Under the strict security system, the freedom of movement of the Japanese investigation team was strictly restricted. A team of more than ten people, combined with more than ten people's security personnel, and a five-person reception team formed a visiting team of nearly forty people.

The Japanese investigation team, which originally thought it was a backward Chinese technology, had an interest in an investigation under such strict security conditions. To this day, the Panhan Research Institute has actually completed the transformation of two 0.8 micron wires to 0.5 micron wires, and the production capacity of USB flash drive chips is also controlled at about 20,000 pieces. Compared with Intel or Toshiba, this output is not worth mentioning, and correspondingly there is no need to build a special wafer factory for the time being.

Although Takuya Miyaki was the leader of the investigation team, the ugly ones on the entire investigation team were Joe Santaro and Matsuda Reito.

"Matsuda-kun, have you seen that?" Joseon Mitaro quietly poked Matsuda Reito. He raised his head and signaled to the laboratory on one side.

"That's it?" Matsuda Reito is a civil servant sent by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in private this time. After all, both the Japanese government and Americans are interested in China's chip manufacturing technology. If you want to lift the ban on exporting the 0.5-micron chip production line to China, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is a mountain that cannot be avoided.

"It is likely to be a high vacuum generation device used for chromium atom deposition, which is an important device for nanograting research." As an important member of the Nikon Optical Laboratory, Shintaro is of course familiar with the research of nanogratings. It can be said that the resolution of the optical lens, the main component of the lithography machine, is directly related to the limits that nanogratings can be measured. He was shocked by the fact that the atomic deposition equipment used for nanogratings can be provided by BENEQ, the United Kingdom, Cambridge and Finland.

Even if the final investigation results are superficial, and Fanhan Group does not master the technology of 0.5 micron wire, Nikon needs to raise it to a level worth paying attention to. It is definitely an opponent that cannot be underestimated if it is willing to make efforts to invest in mechanisms that study atomic deposition and nanogratings.

"This should be the highest-level laboratory in China, right?" Matsuda Reito was sent by the Ministry of Industry and Industry and jointly undertake the investigation of the Panhan Group with Mitaro Tsuki. Although his level is not worth mentioning in specific research fields, he is a rare technical expert in China in the Japanese government. He has been seen in many cases in the Japanese government's technical inspection team.

As long as you compare the conditions of other domestic scientific research institutes with the Panhan Imperial Capital Research Institute, it is not difficult to find its construction level in China.

"Please wait!" Joseon Santaro's eyes shrank, and he suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Ms. Tobieboi, can I enter this laboratory for a visit?" Santaro Josephus said with a slight excitement at a laboratory they passed by.

Xiao Feifei closed the hair in his ears and said a little lazy: "You are... Oh, Mr. Cheng San, are there any problems? The destination of our visit this time is the NAND memory production line, and it is not allowed to visit unless necessary departments."

"Hi, please make sure to let me visit this laboratory!" Shiro Santaro bowed deeply and said earnestly: "If I read it correctly, this should be a laser laboratory."

Xiao Feibio held back her smile, looked at Santaro Joe, and said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry Mr. San, I can't answer your question. Please don't add trouble to the itinerary of the inspection team."

Shiro Santaro straightened up and frowned and looked at the leader Takuya Kitada in front of him. He was probably the only one who had the right to change the visiting project in the Japanese mission.

"Xiaosang, our agreement is to visit the Panhan Research Institute, and there is no limit to a certain research department." Peking University Takuya gritted his teeth and came up. As the head of Toshiba's investigation team, he did not want to make his relationship with Panhan Group very stiff. After all, the U disk patent authorization is still in the hands of others.

Xiao Feifei shook her head: "But it is impossible for you to visit, right? Our examination scope was determined in previous negotiations, and this laboratory is not within the examination scope."

"Things always change!" Under the gaze of Matsuda Reito Matsuda, Takuya had to bite the bullet and go on the battlefield: "The conditions in the negotiation are also technical research units related to chip production lines. If this laboratory is a laser laboratory, I think it is obviously related to chip production technology."

Zhao Dajian, the head of the operation department of the Panhan Imperial Capital Research Institute who was responsible for the reception, suddenly intervened and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Beidalu wants to visit, then just take a look. It just so happens that Toshiba Group is also a very famous technology company in Japan, and maybe it can provide some guidance to us in this regard..."

Matsuda Rhito raised his eyebrows, looked at Takuya Ru, and nodded slightly. He saw the common attitudes he had when visiting the China Institute in Zhao Dajian. That is, his lack of confidence in China's own technology. Some people's lack of confidence will lead to blind arrogance, while others' lack of confidence will lead to serious inferiority.

Obviously, Zhao Dajian is probably the latter. Judging from his identity, the current chip production line is under the responsibility of the Operations Department. In the Panhan Research Institute, the person who most hopes to introduce a 0.5-micron production line from Toshiba is definitely Zhao Dajian. Once the number of production lines mastered increases, the Operations Department is likely to be independent from the Research Institute and become a wafer factory.

The Japanese also did their homework before visiting. Although the security measures of the Panhan Institute are very strict, these basic internal structures are still easy to obtain. Under the suggestion of Reito Matsuda, Takuya, the Taipei University of Miyagi, quickly understood the breakthrough point of the problem.

"Ah, that's right! Our Toshiba's laser technology is still very good in Japan. If we are lucky enough to visit the laboratory of Panhan Group, we might be able to communicate with each other..."

Takuya, who said this, blushed himself. Toshiba is not Nikon, and his research on lasers is very limited. At most, the technology of laser printers or light-emitting diodes is just a level of technology. Compared with the excimer lasers involved in lithography machines, it is simply a sky and an underground, and communication with each other is nonsense.

"That's great!" Zhao Dajian didn't care what excuses he was trying to make in Taipei Road. In the end, he could get the 0.5 micron production line to achieve the goal of expanding the operation department into a wafer factory. What does the technical development department have to do with him?

At least in the eyes of Matsuda Reito, Zhao Dajian's performance must correspond to this kind of psychological activity. Chinese people have always like to undermine each other, have short vision, and are very superstitious about foreign technology...

"Minister Zhao, how can you do this!" Xiao Feifei stomped his feet and stopped him, and said angrily: "This laser laboratory is a first-level core laboratory of the Fanhan Research Institute. No outside personnel can enter without my consent!"

Zhao Dajian didn't sell her as the dean's account at all. He relied on his man's strength to push her aside and hummed: "Get out of the way, what do you know? I missed the major matter of our operation department's import production line, and you, the dean, will be the end!"
Chapter completed!
