The phrase "You can try" will really shock Peter Venick. He wants to know where the other party is confident.

But then again, if it were another Chinese, he might sneer, but the person in front of him was Luo Sheng, the miracle maker!

Lithography machines are indeed difficult, super difficult, but they are not made by humans?

Peter Venick still did a survey and put in a lot of homework. He knew that the number of Chinese graduates in engineering, natural sciences, engineering and blood transfusions in China was more than the United States and Europe combined, and that this number grew faster than anywhere else in the world.

Since 2002, the number of graduates in these disciplines has increased by more than 100,000 per year, constantly exporting a large number of young engineers to the society.

Quantitative change will always cause qualitative change, and the future is full of uncertainty. With people like Luo Sheng leading it, new miracles will be created in the field of lithography machines.

Peter Venick felt that there was no need to take this risk for Sia and the Americans, and he had decided to take the ball to the Americans in his heart.

But this meeting was incomplete.

As soon as the a**l's man left, Liu Yixuan, who was in charge of Xiongxin Electronics, couldn't help but sighed quietly: "Without the lithography machine, Xiongxin Electronics would not have any production capacity."

Luo Sheng said lightly: "It's just bargaining, you can supply the goods, otherwise Venic wouldn't come here from afar and fight for the autumn wind? Who believes that Moore's Law is on our side, and at worst it will hurt each other. I can only develop high-end lithography machines in three or five years at most."

Regardless of whether a**l is delivered or not, Luo Sheng will actively make arrangements. The four words "technical independence" are not just a slogan, but must be put into practical actions. To be used without use is the greatest use.

...

In a high-end hotel room, after the negotiations, Peter Venick was talking to John, the head of the North American Semiconductor Industry Association, who is also one of the core members of this system.

At this moment, Venic said to the phone with dissatisfaction: "Mr. John, if A**l cannot be delivered, it will inevitably compete with better Chinese products in the next five to ten years. I don't want Luo Sheng to copy a miracle on my territory and make his halo more dazzling. The best way is to sell it to them and let them give up their self-development. I don't feel strange about this at all, nor do I want to take this risk, even if the probability is very low, I don't want to. If you know A**l very well, this will also hit us."

Peter Venick did not exaggerate that, in fact, he was really worried that Luo Sheng would create miracles in the field of lithography machines, because the number of engineers born in China in every year exceeds that of any country or region in the world. It may be moderate, but the amount cannot be resisted. No matter how small the probability is, a few geniuses will appear. Now Luo Sheng is already a genius in the technology industry.

The potential of talent in China is already a leading figure like Luo Sheng, who is still a good person who is not short of money. In addition, the large consumer market has already met the basic conditions, and the rest is a matter of time.

If Luo Sheng still stuck you on the fi patent, everyone would be stuck here and unable to improve and develop. However, Luo Sheng was chasing like crazy, and the gap between the two sides was shortened or even tied. This situation would probably come faster than expected.

This is what Peter Venick is most worried about.

In fact, it’s not just Peter Venick, but semiconductor giants like Intel, aren’t that the case? No one is a fool, and it’s impossible to analyze it.

...

Time passed day by day, and Peter Venick stayed here for three days and was not in a hurry to leave.

This made Luo Sheng even more calm, and the initiative was obviously under his control.

On the fourth day after Peter Venick arrived in Sioux City, the two sides met again, and the meeting was the office building of Lens Semiconductor.

In the reception room, Peter Venic and Luo Sheng sat face to face. The latter looked at the other party and said slowly: "What's going on? Mr. Venic? Your company has made a decision. I hate multiple-choice questions very much. I once told people from ibm that I won't make a choice, leave it to them. This time, I won't make a choice, you will make a choice, so tell me your choice."

Liu Yixuan, who was also in the reception room, secretly admired her in her heart. The boss was obviously younger than her, but her aura was indeed fascinating.

Peter Venic, who was sitting opposite, couldn't answer for a moment. After a moment of embarrassment and grace, he smiled with a very well-educated gentlemanly manner and said, "Mr. Luo, I can tell you a good news now, which is good news for us."

Luo Sheng was interested: "Oh? I hope to hear about it."

Peter Venick said bluntly: "Just today I received reliable news, a**l has obtained permission from the Dutch authorities. 45-nanometer lithography equipment can be exported to China. You heard it correctly, you can sell it to your company."

Luo Sheng smiled: "It's indeed good news."

I thought to myself, wouldn't it be better if I did this earlier? I had to be shameless, but Luo Sheng still muttered in his heart for this kind of thought, after all, he would not hit people with a smile.

Peter Winick laughed, "But we still have one condition."

Luo Sheng said lightly: "What are the conditions?"

Peter Venick was not polite, and said: "That is, you can't study lithography machines yourself. This restriction of competition must be written into the terms of cooperation."

Luo Sheng said dissatisfiedly: "Why? Yes, but I also have conditions, as long as you lift the ban on me with the most advanced lithography machine. I also want to develop it. If it is restricted from my development, I would rather not."

For a moment, it seemed that a consensus was about to be reached, but a new stalemate was in a situation of stalemate.

At the end, Luo Sheng turned to surrender and said: "In this way, for up to three years, this is the final bottom line. Mr. Venic, your agreement is to hold my future destiny to the throat. Once the agreement is signed, you will turn against me. What should I do?"

Peter Venick shook his head and said firmly: "It is absolutely impossible. a**l pays attention to corporate reputation the most. As long as you give up the independent research and development of lithography equipment, we can establish a long-term strategic partnership and provide a series of the best solutions."

Luo Sheng sarcastically said: "I am bluntly, you have bad deeds and I really can't trust you. If your company still insists on doing this, I don't think there is any need to waste both parties' precious time."

Peter Venic looked a little embarrassed.

Obviously, Luo Sheng would never agree to such a clause, which is equivalent to self-destruction of the future.

Three years is his biggest bottom line, because lithography machines are indeed not easy to do, and building a full industrial chain of domestic semiconductors is by no means possible overnight. The lithography machine equipment link is not within Luo Sheng's consideration, and it is indeed very difficult to do. You can suppress it and slow it down, but it will be at most two or three years.

Both sides are thinking in their hearts and judging the situation by themselves.

When Peter Venick faced Luo Sheng's final concession, he also knew that this was the opponent's last bottom line.

After a while, Peter Venick gradually made a decision in his heart, and three-year restrictions would be fine. Although he was worried that Luo Sheng would create miracles, one code would be the same, which would not cover up the technical difficulties of lithography equipment. Worrying that Luo Sheng would create miracles is just a false proposition. Too much precaution would backfire and scare himself a little.

Peter Venick thought in his heart and couldn't help but nod. Although three years are not long, they are not short. In addition, what they exported to the other party is not the most advanced equipment at present, so they can maintain a leading advantage.

Finally, Peter Venick ended his thoughts and broke the quiet atmosphere. He only saw him appearing a gentlemanly smile again, looking at Luo Sheng and said, "Okay, we will accept it for only three years, and I wish you good luck."

The head of a**l also shows the confidence side of the industry overlord. Although Luo Sheng is indeed a person who is good at creating miracles and attaches great importance to this, Peter Venick still firmly believes that high-end lithography machine technology cannot make a breakthrough in three years without the help of a**l.

Luo Sheng smiled and did not reply, but reached out to the other party.

Seeing this, Peter Venick smiled and accepted it happily. The two sides shook hands, which meant that the final consensus was finally reached.
