Technological Supremacy Chapter 383: Children only make choices, adults all want it!
Even Luo Jia himself did not expect that his New Year's Eve would be spent in the hospital.
It wasn't until midnight that senior sister Qi Mengzhou and An Ran's little daughter fell to the ground, and everyone finally let go of their suspense.
For the first time in his life, Luo Jia knew a lot of professional terms, such as opening a bone, and finally understood that it is not an easy thing for a woman to give birth, especially for an advanced mother like a senior.
Hearing the heart-piercing screams of her senior, Luo Jia suddenly had the urge to run home and hug her mother. .
"This little girl is much prettier than you and senior sister. I don't know how many men will be fascinated by her in the future." When the nurse showed Qi Xin to everyone, Luo Jia said, making everyone laugh.
Such a smart person as An Ran was so excited that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He hugged his wife tightly, who held the newborn little An Xin in her arms. It's all happiness, which is really enviable.
"During this time, spend more time with your wife and children. There is no need to worry about the company's affairs. We are here." Luo Jia said to An Ran.
Walking out of the hospital, Luo Jia didn't let Xu Chunbiao drive. This is the company's affiliated hospital, and you can directly enter the headquarters by crossing a bridge.
After getting on the overpass, a cold wind suddenly picked up. Luo Jia couldn't help shrinking her neck, pulled up the hood of her down jacket, and quickened her pace.
When he returned to the company, he saw bright lights and sumptuous meals were prepared in the cafeteria. Although alcohol was allowed on holidays, when he walked into the cafeteria, no one was changing glasses, only some colleagues were quietly He lowered his head to eat and fiddled with his phone.
Maybe it's because the pressure has been relatively high recently, and the atmosphere in the company is a bit dull. The original New Year's Day reception had to be canceled because of too few applicants.
Luo Jia greeted everyone, took a box of yogurt and a box of fresh-cut fruits back to the office, poured the yogurt on the fruit, and added a spoonful of honey, the thick milk fragrance, the sweetness of honey , and the elegance of the fruit, all blend together.
While eating, Luo Jia turned on the computer.
In a forum where science enthusiasts gather, the post celebrating the New Year is highlighted by the administrator. The post is not a celebrity, but AAC Technologies, an audio equipment company, is an ordinary test engineer. In other words, I am still working overtime.
Who would have thought that this ordinary post would resonate with the technology community, BYD, JCET, Huawei, Alibaba, Dongshan Precision, Desai Battery, OFILM, Goodix, etc., almost the entire Chinese technology circle at this moment They are all working overtime, which of course also includes Star Technology.
"Because my home is local, the company didn't arrange for me to work overtime, and asked me to go home for dinner, but after I got home, my dad just called me out."
"How old are you, what did your father beat you for?"
"My dad said that grandpa was killed in the bombing to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Now that imperialism has hit the doorstep again, I am not allowed to embarrass grandpa. My colleagues are still working overtime. Why do you go home and eat and drink? If it’s because we live close together, I’ll take your mother and move to Inner Mongolia tomorrow.”
"I'll go, your father is really tough, he is indeed a descendant of a soldier."
"Come on! This is an opportunity. Xingchen Technology is awesome. The lithography machine has already been used in SMIC. It is equivalent to tearing a hole on the basis of Western semiconductor hegemony!"
"That's right, to overthrow the Western semiconductor hegemony, just watch this time!"
"The most difficult exposure machines are all done. Next, we only need to win the assembly, the radio frequency, the instruction set, and all the areas that should be won, and we will be able to deal a heavy blow to the West! Forcing They have to negotiate!"
"But how do I hear that the boss of Xingchen Technology seems to be reluctant to negotiate?"
"Really?"
"It's not clear if it's true or not, but Star Search, which once reached a peace agreement with Google, has recently started to take action again. Their Australian companies and South American companies have started to go online for testing. Google is going crazy! After all, the North and the South The US market is their lifeblood.”
After browsing a few pages, Luo Jia let out a sigh.
It's not easy. In this peaceful age, straight men in science and engineering are playing the role of soldiers in the past, silently supporting this war without gunpowder. The millions of engineers in the Chinese science and technology industry are all like chicken blood. Awow screaming and rushing forward, there is no rest at all on New Year's Day, all of them are working overtime.
In fact, there was no such great passion, but Xingchen Technology once again came out at a critical moment and turned the tide. The fourth-generation lithography system greatly boosted the confidence of the scientific and technological circles, and it was difficult for grandma's exposure machine. Taiwan can be built, is there any hurdle that cannot be overcome?
As for another major event being discussed in the technology forum, Google and Xingchen Technology once again had a serious conflict because of the search engine problem, which is of course true.
Back then, although Luo Jia reached a settlement with Larry Page, the branches of Star Technology in North and South America have not been withdrawn, and they have continued to expand and grow. Recently, under the signal of the headquarters, Star Search has begun to expand Scale testing, and the local operation specialists are being recruited aggressively to prepare for full-scale commercial use in the future.
A series of big actions have completely shocked Google. There are rumors that the second search engine war is about to start again, and the agreement a few years ago is about to be torn up.
Luo Jia looked at the Western Science and Technology Forum again. The successful trial operation of the fourth-generation lithography machine was not intended to be hidden. There were many people involved, and it was impossible to hide it. received the news and was deeply shocked.
"The latest news, Star Technology's fourth-generation machine has been successfully tested. This afternoon, the first 12-inch wafer flowed out from SMIC's C1 line!"
"Trial production so soon? Don't Huaxia's engineers eat or sleep?"
"As far as I know, they really are. The SMIC team has been in the company for food and lodging for the past month."
"What level of trial production?"
"It is said that it is seven nanometers, full immersion process, filled with high ionic liquid provided by Xingchen Chemical."
"The seven-nanometer technology should be behind. The five-nanometer and three-nanometer technologies are the key to future competition."
"What you said, since it is a trial run, there is no need to challenge such a high level of craftsmanship. With the official production and the accumulation of experience, let alone three nanometers, I am afraid that even 0.3 nanometers will not be able to stop the Huaxia people. After all, the machine of Star Technology is a whole generation ahead of us!"
"It's troublesome. It's really troublesome this time. Although the lithography machine is not the whole of the semiconductor industry, it has laid a solid foundation. In the future, it may really occupy the entire semiconductor industry."
"After such a big event, the fourth-generation machines of Xingchen Technology have been successfully trial-produced. Why is there no movement from the Semiconductor Alliance? What are they doing?"
"There are too many companies involved in the Semiconductor Alliance. Intel, Samsung, Qualcomm, GlobalFoundries, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, IBM, everyone is a big boss, and no one can make a promise. Controversy has arisen, and Huaxia is the leader of Xingchen Technology, Huawei is ranked second, and all the younger brothers follow, basically just follow the order."
"Hey, the efficiency is really low. Huaxia is not only efficient, but the engineers are even more desperate. In order to kill us, they work overtime. This time, I don't see it."
"If it's a big deal, let's negotiate. Half of the semiconductor industry will use Xingchen's lithography and Huawei's 5G technology to replace our processors and storage."
"Whether it's a negotiation, wouldn't the Chinese take advantage of it? They don't have many cards now."
"It's all because the tough guys are too crazy. It seems that the leaders of the Semiconductor Alliance are also a little scared. Negotiations and interest exchanges must be indispensable. Anyway, as long as you don't work hard with Xingchen Technology."
As the night grew darker, Luo Jia read it with gusto. He liked to understand the thoughts of people from all walks of life, and often spent time on forums, but he belonged to the diving party, the kind who only watched but didn't talk.
When the time pointed to three o'clock in the morning, Luo Jia's phone rang suddenly. It was Tang Jie from Star Search.
"Boss Luo hasn't slept yet?" Tang Jie said after the call was connected.
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for news from you, but you are really slow enough." Luo Jia said.
Tang Jie smiled wryly, "I'm not a fairy. Two companies in North America, two in Australia, South America and 33 countries in Latin America went online all at once. We need to do a second test."
Tang Jie muttered, and Luo Jia interrupted him, "I know it's not easy for you and Lao Guo, I know it, after this matter is over, I invite you to drink! Tell me, what's going on now?"
Tang Jie laughed, "Fortunately, the mission was fulfilled. When the bell rang on New Year's Day, all 37 of our branches in Australia, North America, and the entire Latin America successfully launched their search business collectively!"
"The war that was not finished back then has started again now. I guess Google is already scolding your mother with anger~IndoMTL.com~ I never expected that we would choose to tear up the agreement on the first day of the new year."
Tang Jie paused, "However, Google's share in the semiconductor alliance is not too large. Even if we force Google to death, I'm afraid there will be no way to gain more share in the semiconductor field."
Hehe~
After listening to Tang Jie's words, Luo Jia suddenly sneered twice. The voice was a little strange, which made Tang Jie feel a chill down his back.
Luo Jia said lightly: "Tonight, when you re-launched Star Search and started a war with Google for the second time, Star Chemical has cut off the supply of photoresist to Intel and Samsung, and Star Software has cut off the North American industry. software interface."
"Since they want to play big, let them come here."
"As for what kind of share we should have in the semiconductor field, that is not a multiple-choice question, or even a question."
"In the real world, only children make choices, adults, all of them!"
