With domestic support, Shiraishi Morina finally let go of her heavy burden. Since the senior management has made a resolution to agree to transfer the nanograting, it can be said that she has stood on the shore. The problem of making a wrong bidding decision will be at most a commercial mistake, not a major decision accident.

However, when she received this support, there was only one week left before the Nikon supply end date. Before that, she had to persuade Zhou Shuo to change the content of the supplementary agreement.

Of course, this is not difficult in Shiraishi's eyes. If it weren't for despair of the inspection progress, how could Zhou Shuo come up with such important information? In her opinion, basic technology such as nanogratings should be paid more attention at the national level. Recalling the cooperation actions of the Chinese government in the previous bidding and the large-scale mobilization in this inspection, it is obviously unreasonable to say that there is no official shadow here.

Perhaps Zhou Shuo was forced to take out the immersive lithography technology with special skills. Just like Nikon, nanograting technology is not an indispensable technology for a company. In order to accurately process lenses, in addition to nanogratings, there are many ways to use them, such as optical comparators, tunnel scanning mode, and laser interference. Although nanogratings are very important technologies, they are not impossible without them. At least in three to five years, the processing accuracy of lithography lenses can be handled by China.

But it is different for a country. Nanograting has a huge effect on industrial upgrading. It can be used to improve the processing accuracy of the entire manufacturing industry. And Fanhan Group uses its own unique skills to exchange for basic technology. No matter how you think about it, it must be under great pressure from the government. Anyway, for the Chinese government, Fanhan Group is just a private enterprise, and uses their interests to help the country accumulate industrial upgrading. It is definitely no one will feel sorry for.

When she walked into the auditorium again, Shiraishi Morina was still a little uncomfortable. This kind of scene where thousands of people worked together still caused a great psychological burden for her. The Chinese style of working with ants is too in line with the Japanese's exquisite and meticulous style.

"Hello Zhou Sang, can we say a few words?" Shiraishi Morina rarely put herself and Zhou Shuo at the same height and started to discuss in a respectful tone.

"Minister Shiraishi!" Zhou Shuo raised his head, rubbed his eyes and smiled, "Wait a moment, I'll just translate this page."

"Hi, please." Shiraishi Morina sat down beside Zhou Shuo obediently, looking at this admirable opponent from the side with her eyes.

Zhou Shuo's hair seemed to have not been washed for a while, and at this time it looked messy and like a bird's nest. The beard on his face was two or three centimeters long. The thick beard made his face a lot tougher. He was wearing a blue work clothes with a sleeve on his sleeve, and he was meticulously copying it on paper.

In theory, this kind of sloppy image should be very annoying to Shiraishi Morina. However, seeing Zhou Shuo's focused expression, she felt that Zhou Shuo's appearance was particularly attractive. He was rough, powerful, and full of the masculinity of a man. This was not the masculinity of a man with a head but muscular mind, but the confidence that his heart was strong from the inside out.

As she looked at it, Shiraishi Masalina was even a little crazy. This style is completely different from the butterfly boys that are popular in Japanese society today. But she felt that Zhou Shuo was much more attractive than those handsome guys who were like little kids.

"Minister Shiraishi, Minister Shiraishi!" Zhou Shuo shook his hand in front of Shiraishi Morina and asked in confusion: "Minister Shiraishi, are you okay?"

"Ah? Oh! I, I'm fine." Shiraishi Morina turned red with her cheeks like a girl. She covered her face and shook her head in panic and said, "Zhou Sang, your work is over?"

"Let's come to an end for the time being. Take a rest first." Zhou Shuo looked at Shiraishi Morina up and down, and asked with a frown: "Minister Shiraishi, are you really okay? If you feel uncomfortable, I'll arrange for the doctor to check you out?"

"No need, I'm really fine!" Shiraishi Morina is somehow an excellent businessman who has been tested in the workplace. She quickly calmed down and smiled generously: "Maybe I'm a little tired, and I've been exposed to some wind on the road, so I'll have a rest for a while."

Not to mention, Shiraishi Malina has a good foundation. Although she is a little older, her maintenance has not been lost. Now she is shy and has a bit of tempting charm.

"That's good. Minister Shiraishi must pay attention to rest." Zhou Shuo nodded and then asked: "By the way, I don't know what's wrong with you looking for me?"

Shiraishi Morina curled the smile on the corner of her mouth and nodded, "Before the conversation begins, I want to confirm something first. Does Fanhan Group already have the production capacity of 0.35 micron process chips? Is it all developed by itself, or is it upgraded based on Nikon's 0.5 micron lithography machine?"

Zhou Shuo glanced at Shiraishi Morina and laughed: "Yes, it seems that Minister Shiraishi has mastered a lot of information. In the hands of Fanhan Group, there is indeed a technology that can upgrade the line width level of the lithography machine."

"It's true!" Shiraishi Morina couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, her eyes wider than a cow.

"Is it immersive lithography technology?" Shiraishi Morina asked reluctantly.

Zhou Shuo didn't say anything, just nodded gently.

Although she was mentally prepared, even this conclusion was the result of her push. But she was still surprised to get admitted from Zhou Shuo's mouth.

The Fanhan Group has only been established for more than a year or less than two years. Even if it starts from the first day of its establishment, it will be considered rapid to complete the development of immersive lithography technology in such a short time. It should be noted that Nikon's estimates will require at least 200 million US dollars to produce results in four or five years. Even with China's human resources and scientific research costs, one billion yuan is a must.

Where did Fanhan Group get such a large sum of money? Where did it find relevant talents? How to make technical reserves? Where did the equipment, information, and basic investment come from?

If immersive lithography technology was so easy, Nikon would have already invested in research and development. In the 1980s, some people had already proposed the relevant concepts. However, when the patent expired, there were no companies to develop it. On the one hand, the technology was immature, and on the other hand, the investment was greater than other means.

Now Fanhan Group has mastered immersive lithography technology and has obtained Nikon's complete set of 0.5 micron process lithography machines with no effort. The time and resources saved here are really hard to say whether it is a loss or a profit. But one thing is that Zhou Shuo has indeed leveraged the entire lithography machine market with this technology.

"Although I am standing on a hostile standpoint, I still have to say it." Shiraishi Morina shook her head and sighed: "The courage of Zhou Sang and your Fanhan Group is really admirable and surprising."

"Haha, we just made the right investment."

From the perspective of Shiraishi-Marina, it would take at least one year for Zhou Shuo to develop immersive lithography technology. A year ago, what was the state of Fanhan Group? Ten million US dollars was probably the limit. What's more, at that time, Fanhan Group could only come into contact with 200mm single crystal furnaces smuggled from Toshiba. The largest business was just to provide Microsoft with an ergonomic keyboard for X architecture.

With a monthly income of one million US dollars, a project worth one billion yuan is considered a crazy person who seeks death.

Of course, no one would tell Shiraishi that the Panhan Research Institute has developed immersive lithography technology, which actually only took one month. The development cost is even less than 10 million yuan.

"Okay, let's get back to the point." Shiraishi's Morina shook her head and drove the misunderstandings out of her mind: "About immersive lithography, Nikon agreed to use nanograting technology for exchange."

"Use nanograting technology for exchange?" Zhou Shuo was slightly stunned and laughed in silence: "If I remember correctly, nanograting technology is originally one of your Nikon's bidding conditions. According to the bidding contract, it is originally necessary to provide nanograting technology to us."

Shiraishi Morina pursed her lips and said seriously: "Zhou Sang, don't say secret words. You Huajing cannot complete the data inspection of the complete set of 0.5 micron lithography machine technology on time. According to the provisions of the supplementary agreement, we can appropriately reduce the collection of the final payment in exchange for not submitting nanograting technology to you."

Zhou Shuo gradually lowered his face and nodded, "Yes, if we cannot complete the inspection on time, you can do this according to the supplementary agreement. But what I must remind you is that this supplementary agreement was signed by Mr. Fang Jiange, Mengwu Group, when he was serving as general manager of Huajing. To a certain extent, Nikon is taking advantage of others' danger."

"Business is business." Shiraishi Morina shrugged and smiled softly: "No matter what, the supplementary agreement is covered with Hua Jing's official seal, which has legal effect."

"Well, that's right." Zhou Shuo suddenly smiled and nodded and said, "According to what Minister Shiraishi said, the supplementary agreement not only contains Hua Jing's official seal, but also has corresponding legal constraints on Nikon. As long as we complete the data appraisal on time, Nikon has to provide Hua Jing with nanograting technology in accordance with the original agreement."

"Of course, as long as you can complete it on time." Shiraishi Morina looked at Zhou Shuo with a confident look on his face.
