Wang Qing went back and forth to the city to report Donghua's project proposals to the two main leaders.

The two leaders also have a headache, so it will definitely not work if they don't accept it; if they accept it, it will disrupt the rhythm of work.

Everyone feels that the matter is too big, so... let's ask for instructions.

When requesting instructions, a report needs to be made. The city's two offices took the lead, with the participation of heads of several economic departments, and went to the Donghua headquarters to draft a project status report.

The city's power restriction order was issued as usual, and Donghua's generating units quickly arrived at Donggang, Jishi City. Under the coordination of Lanshi, the traffic police were responsible for guiding and maintaining traffic, and it took one day to transport the power generation equipment to the Steel Industrial Park.

In the industrial park, the basic concrete of the power generation equipment is still under maintenance, and it will take about 20 days to achieve power generation. The steel mill, machinery factory, and electric motor factory have entered night shift mode.

Chen Lidong was pestered by his comrades in the city and stayed in the company as a guide.

The construction content, investment methods, and process plans of several large projects are all in his head, and he really can't leave.

Sun Jing personally arranged the food and accommodation for more than 20 people in the city, and the group also set up a special team to study project plans.

Chen Lidong also suddenly had a familiar feeling. In another life, he was responsible for attracting investment in the Economic Development Zone, which was what he did: drafting investment reports, sorting out project content, conducting feasibility analysis, and formulating project implementation plans.

Therefore, I quickly became involved with the comrades in the city.

Even the reports to superiors have to be checked and worded by him personally.

Those who work on writing always think that Chen Lidong is a master, but people in the department always feel awkward because they find that Chairman Chen often has trouble finding his position.

For example, who will build the 18.5-kilometer road to the island?

Because Longxing Island extends into the sea, more than ten kilometers away from the land, it is just a small sand island of several hundred square meters in the sea. In front of it is a trench of minus 25 meters, and behind it is a shoal more than ten kilometers long.

The port construction plan is to turn the sand island into a wharf and build factories on the shoal behind it.

Chen Lidong said: "There is no need to study this, it will be done by enterprises, and the standard cannot be low. It is designed at 6 million per kilometer."

Wei Guangzhong, deputy general manager of Donghua Investment, reminded: "Chairman, according to you, building this road will probably fall on us."

Chen Lidong said: "If you fall behind, you will fall behind. Only when we build the road ourselves can we be at ease. I am not happy if others build it."

When everyone heard this, they realized that this guy just had money to burn.

Regarding the investors of the LNG terminal, Chen Lidong raised his hand and wrote Donghua Group, Far East Petroleum and Natural Gas Co., Ltd., hesitated for a moment and then added the name of Huaxia Petroleum and Natural Gas Pipeline Company.

The thermal power plant has the names of Donghua Group and Far East Oil and Gas.

The only seawater desalination plant listed is Anmei Sen Technology Co., Ltd.

So does the wafer fab.

Everyone in the city's eyes lit up when they saw it. Economic work emphasizes "projects are king, foreign capital leads". Chen Lidong started writing two foreign-funded projects. As for whether they can be implemented... Donghua's reputation in the investment community seems to have always been

good.

Next is the iron ore terminal. Chen Lidong also wrote it into the project plan. The investors are Donghua Industrial Group and Western Australia Lennar Co., Ltd.

Comrades in the city were worried about the iron ore terminal project, so they recommended a deputy director of the Municipal Economic Commission to discuss with Chen Lidong: "Chairman Chen, the original plan was for the iron ore terminal to be built by Bei Steel, Blue Steel, and the Provincial Construction Investment Corporation.

If you invest with our port group, how about I give you one share?"

Chen Lidong glanced at the other party and said: "They are allowed to build it but I am not allowed to build it? I think the shoreline in front of the island is enough. How about one section per person? Just give me four berths."

The deputy director was unsure and immediately reported the news to Wang Qinglai.

Wang Qinglai reported to the two main leaders again. As soon as the two leaders heard this, they knew that the most uncomfortable problem was coming.

There are four 200,000-ton iron ore terminals with an annual loading and unloading capacity of hundreds of millions of tons. Everyone who knows about it knows that Donghua has ships at home and mines outside. If you want to build a terminal, why should others build one?

This means walking your own path and leaving others with nowhere to go.

Finally, Wang Qing said: "It would be better to discuss it with Beigang and Blue Steel. If they agree to Donghua taking the lead, it will be easy.

Donghua has business dealings with Bei Steel and Blue Steel. It took the lead in establishing Western Union Steel and invited Blue Steel to participate.

When I saw this, I asked Chen Lidong to discuss the matter. As for the Provincial Construction Investment Corporation, which has no money to begin with, as for our port company, if we want to take a shareholding, we can take a shareholding. If we don’t want to take a shareholding, we can just withdraw.

In short, let these companies discuss it among themselves."

The two main leaders had no choice but to agree with Wang Qinglai's opinion.

So Wang Qinglai called those units respectively, briefly explained the situation, and then sent a letter to invite these units to meet in the blue market at the end of August to discuss the construction of the wharf.

The reason why Chen Lidong is so proactive in building ports and terminals is that he is actually grabbing the say in the development of Longxing Island.

Judging from the situation in Panshan, it is feasible to make stone and fill the roadbed. More than 20,000 tons of stone are filled in every day, and more than 100 meters of gravel roadbed can be filled in a day. The roadbed of the first to second phases of Panshan Port can be filled in one month.

nailed it.

This section of roadbed has a surface width of 16 meters and a bottom width of 32 meters. The roadbed beach elevation is -3.6 to 1 meter.

The beach elevation is 3.6 meters from the beach on the seabed to the water surface and 1 meter above the water surface.

After this section of roadbed is formed, strong tamping construction is being carried out. After tamping, it is backfilled with gravel, gravel, and fine sand. After it is 2 meters above the surrounding sea level, it is tamped and rolled again, and then cement precast blocks are used.

Pave the road and use cement blocks to protect the slope on both sides.

This section of road is complete, and construction machinery can run on it without any problem. With this road, land reclamation from the sea and reclamation of sea sand can be carried out along the road.

The construction volume of the Longxing Island-to-island highway is six times that of Panshan, but if the construction organization is in place, it will not be a big problem to complete it in more than half a year.

In another life, Chen Lidong experienced the entire process of the development and construction of Longxing Island and had extraordinary feelings for the island.

The development and construction of this island has gone through many ups and downs. Policy adjustments and personnel changes have also affected its rise. So we might as well take the initiative and brand it as Donghua.

As for the funds needed?

In the vast sea, as a systematic person, there are many hat games that can be played.

...

Entering the new century, Andre felt that everything he did in San Francisco was not going well.

Less than 10,000 touch keyboards have been sold, and a small number of users are people like Winnie who have wrist movement difficulties. Most of the buyers buy them for novelty, play with them for a few days and then throw them away.

Winnie began to immerse himself in his research. Following Chen Lidong's suggestion, he summoned some partners to collect touch data such as drag sensing and gesture recognition. He is further enriching and optimizing the database and gradually building an intelligent control system.

.

Andre was concerned, and after asking a few times, he stopped intervening.

There are also problems with the sales of USB flash drives. Sales volume is basically normal, with global sales of around 500,000 units per month.

But since this year, imitation USB flash drives have appeared on the market.

The counterfeit product comes from the country of Balaz, and Andre has arranged for Anmei Sen's legal department to investigate. However, gangs are prevalent in Balaz, and it is estimated that it will not be able to effectively stop the other party's copycat operations.

As for the USB flash drive retailer, I tried to track down a few typical cases, but could only stop the other party's sales behavior, but there was no other effective method.

Because before this, the profits of USB drives were really high.

The price of 64m USB flash drive in Sam Country is 75 knives, and the price of 128m and 256m USB flash drives is 130 knives and 280 knives respectively, with a profit of more than 50%.

After discussing with company executives, Andre decided to start a price war.

Anmeisen's branches in various countries began to carry out marketing activities to retailers, reducing prices to reward customers, giving back to customers, mass discounts, etc. The price of USB flash drives dropped six times in a row in five months, with the price reduction exceeding 30%.

As a result, sales have increased, but total profits have still declined.

Andre plans to liberalize the authorization in a year or two and allow factories under Intel, Texas Instruments, Samsung Electronics and other companies to produce and sell USB flash drives. It would also be good for Anmei Sen to collect patent fees.

The most uncomfortable thing was about Chen Lidong's commission. One was to help Liz buy a supercomputer. Andre accompanied Liz to visit several companies with the ability to manufacture supercomputers, but in the end he came back with nothing because he had no time.

The second is to recruit Chinese people who understand chip technology, but there is also little gain.

After more than half a year, we have collected more than a dozen young people with master's degrees or above. Several have experience working in chip factories, and the other dozen are just starting out and are still limited to the theoretical knowledge in books.

Andre arranged for these people to carry out research on chip processing and manufacturing and integrated circuit design, and then just let the sheep go.

A few days ago, Chen Lidong once again asked him to find the company or scientific research institution that produces the "Euv" lithography machine. He later told him: "'Euv' is capitalized 'euv'", and then called him again to tell him to pay attention to a company.

A company called "ASML".

Three gold medals made Andre have to pay attention.

Chen Lidong couldn't tell what the word "ASML" meant, but the circle of photolithography machines was not very big, so he quickly found the corresponding company.

The name of this company is advanced semiconductor materials international, abbreviated as asm. In Chinese onomatopoeia, it should be "Asmai".

This company is in the country of España. It was originally a chip manufacturer. Electronics giant Philippe cooperated with it more than ten years ago to establish a new department to develop lithography systems and machines.

Photolithography technology appeared in the 1950s, when two engineers at Sam Guobell Laboratories tried to "print" circuit diagrams onto silicon wafers to produce finer and more complex designs.

The general method is to make a plate first, usually using a composite material of quartz glass plate and chromium plate to make the base plate, and use electron beam or radium beam to mark integrated circuits on it to make a photomask.

Then, a photosensitive coating is applied to the silicon wafer, the pattern on the photomask is exposed on the silicon wafer coating, and then chemical etching is used to complete the "printing" of the integrated circuit.

The photomask is equivalent to the base plate, and through repeated operations, silicon wafers with printed integrated circuits can be produced in large quantities.

In 1961, the David W. Mann department of Sam GCA Company manufactured the first stepper lithography machine, which cost 30,000 knives and had an accuracy of 1 micron.

In 1984, ASML was established. At that time, Blue Star had about 10 lithography machine manufacturers. At that time, the leader in this industry was GCA, and ASML was last.

By the end of the 1980s, there were only five lithography machine companies left alive in Blue Star, including Nikon and Canon in Sun Country, and GCA and SVG in Sam Country.

ASML ranks fourth.

In 1995, after going through many ups and downs, ASML received a large order from Samsung Electronics and was listed on the Gotham Stock Exchange. However, the former leader GCA has been closed down after being acquired once.

As he dug deeper into Asmer, Andre learned about EUV.

This "euv" is the abbreviation of extreme ultra-violet. The literal translation of these three words is "extreme purple". When used in the semiconductor field, it represents the meaning of "extreme ultraviolet lithography".

Ultraviolet light is in the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths ranging from 400 to 10 nanometers.

Extreme ultraviolet lithography is a lithography technology that uses extreme ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 10 to 14 nanometers as a light source.

In 1997, Sam State established the EUV LLC alliance, and ASM successfully entered the game after making many concessions.

The EUV LLC Alliance brings together Sam's top research resources and chip giants, including three major national laboratories, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories, and unites IBM, AMD, Motorola and other giants to focus on

Hundreds of top scientists are working together to research EUV technology.

After Andre informed Chen Lidong of the relevant situation, Chen Lidong issued an order: get close to Asmer, have a business relationship with him, and then send a group of employees to Asmer.
