...

Entering the beginning of August, the global media are reporting on this matter, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming.

149.6 billion US dollars, or about 1,020.2 billion yuan excluding exchange rate changes.

The market value of Bluestar Technology Group has risen by 1 trillion yuan in three days. When the news spread to China, the mainland media almost put the keyword "1 trillion" in the headline of the front page.

Countless people in the industry saw the news and saw this string of numbers and their jaws fell to the bottom of their shoes.

Although Bluestar Technology's revenue does not rank among the top 500 companies in the world, its terrifying net profit margin has become the most profitable company in the world in the first half of the year.

How much money is this most profitable? Compared with Walmart, the world's largest company in terms of revenue, its profit in the first half of this year was only over US$6 billion, while the net profit of Bluestar Technology Group in the first half of this year reached US$26.25 billion, more than four times that of Walmart.

The terrifying profit is the fundamental reason that propels Bluestar Technology Group's stock to go crazy.

The 24th issue of the Forbes Global Rich List was subsequently released. Luo Sheng has continued to be the world's richest man since he reached the top in 2009. The nominal worth given by Forbes is 197.5 billion US dollars.

Second place is Buffett with $62.2 billion; third is Mexico's richest man with $53.5 billion, fourth is Bill Gates with $53 billion and fifth is India's richest man with $29 billion.

Luo Sheng holds % of the shares of Bluestar Technology. With the company's current total market value of 639.2 billion US dollars, his personal net assets have 165.8 billion US dollars, followed by the 30% equity of the Azur Group, which has brought 24.7 billion. The net worth of US dollars, and finally Shengfeng Capital brought it a net worth of 7 billion US dollars.

The combined notional net worth is a staggering $197.5 billion, an unprecedented record.

In fact, Luo Sheng, who is not known to outsiders, is the largest shareholder of Shengfeng Capital. The asset size of his offshore family fund has now exceeded 87.5 billion US dollars, which is a huge amount of invisible wealth.

However, from a legal point of view, the 87.5 billion US dollars is not the wealth used by Luo Sheng personally, but the assets of the family fund. However, Luo Sheng controls the family fund and has the right to allocate this wealth.

Asset ownership means nothing to a rich man of his level. Just imagine that one person nominally owns a mountain of gold, but cannot control it, and another person has no nominal ownership, but owns it. Jinshan's configuration power can control it.

It can be seen that the right to configure is the fundamental, which is more important than the right to own.

Rich enough to rival the country, this idiom is most appropriate to use today's Luo Sheng.

The media are carrying out overwhelming reports, and the discussions on the Internet are also in full swing, but Luo Sheng, the party involved, does not care about the information from the outside world, but is addicted to learning and dabbling in new fields.

...

Science and technology complex building, in the supercomputer room of the basement warehouse.

Luo Sheng, dressed in a T-shirt and oversized shorts, stayed here alone, sitting on the ground with his back to a cabinet without any image, holding an ieP tablet in his hand and sliding around.

It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to imagine the daily life of the world's richest man with a worth of nearly 200 billion US dollars, or about 1.34 trillion yuan. Netizens who eat melons definitely have the same illusion as me.

"Master, the core data has been uploaded to your private server."

Xiaona's voice entered his ears, and Luo Sheng said casually: "The contents of the index No. 3 file, take it to verify, and file it directly after the result is obtained."

"Good!"

At this time, Luo Sheng turned off the tablet in his hand to let him sleep, and he couldn't help looking up at the ceiling, muttering to himself, "A lithography machine, a lithography machine... It's hard to do."

It is really not a human thing to want to develop and manufacture an EUV lithography machine from scratch and almost single-handedly.

The lithography machine is not only a simple technical problem, but there are too many obstacles.

"Master, since nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and infrastructure heavy industry can all break technical barriers by introducing a + reverse engineering model, why not dismantle the ASML lithography machine purchased by Xiongxin Electronics for reverse engineering and re-engraving?"

Xiaona suddenly raised a question, and here only Xiaona can chat with Luo Sheng to relieve the boredom.

"No, it took so much effort to come up with a piece of equipment. If you screwed up Xiongxin Electronics, it may not be able to operate for five years. ASML will definitely turn its face, and there is no need to do so. The technology is gone... Forget it, I don't understand it." Luo Sheng shook his head, reawakened the tablet and called up a set of data for viewing.

Reverse engineering is almost impossible on a device like a lithography machine.

The first is the commercial contract constraints. ASML is currently the only company in the world that produces advanced process lithography machines. As an important customer of Xiongxin Electronics, it needs to face a rather cumbersome transaction contract and comprehensive review in equipment procurement.

After obtaining the cooperation of ASML company at the enterprise level, it is still subject to the constraints of the Dutch authorities, which sets procurement audit standards that exceed the international general commodity procurement standards, and even in extreme cases will receive advance interference from the country where ASML's core shareholders are located, such as American intervention.

The second is the constraints of technology and intellectual property rights, especially if Chinese companies want to buy lithography machines, they need to ensure that they will not infringe, destroy, or affect the legitimate rights and interests of ASML-related products and intellectual property rights. Reverse development is absolutely prohibited. Prohibited, these Xiongxin Electronics have signed the contract.

The third is ASML's secret door settings and confidentiality measures for lithography machines. The 45nm lithography machine introduced by Xiongxin Electronics this time, the product is sold to you, and it is only to teach your engineers how to use and simple PM. If there is a problem, ASML engineers will solve it. The engineers of Xiongxin Electronics are in touch. Without access to the internal structure, and without access to reverse development, it is impossible to talk about it.

Peter Wernick once swore that ASML's advanced process lithography equipment has no possibility of being copied, all equipment is equipped with a series of sensors, any abnormal illegal operation will be detected and immediately issued a warning, ASML headquarters The meeting was informed for the first time that the sensor equipment of this advanced self-destructing device is also the reliance of ASML to ensure the exclusive global monopoly position of its lithography machine.

Moreover, if the equipment is disassembled, if the reverse development fails, Xiongxin Electronics will be GG. Unlike other equipment, which is replaced by a buyer, it is in a serious seller's market environment on the issue of lithography machines. Once it decides to break through the confinement Constraints, forcibly carry out reverse engineering, followed by ASML's complete cut-off of supply plus troublesome cross-border lawsuits and huge liquidated damages.

Unsurprisingly, ASML's core shareholders, led by the United States, will definitely take part, and will be the killers on issues such as product, technology, and intellectual property cooperation in related fields.

Therefore, in order to avoid these problems, Luo Sheng can only perform theoretical reverse development through supercomputing. Fortunately, he has the key memory of the previous life.

Fourth, even if the reverse development is successful, then what?

What about the 70,000 or 80,000 parts, technical difficulties, and the degree of localization of the industrial chain required by an advanced lithography machine?

It is said that one of the core constructions of the lithography machine - the objective lens system. This thing is currently only the German company Carl Zeiss can produce and supply optical lens systems.

Sony has invested heavily into CarlZeiss to develop and manufacture excellent photographic and camera lens products for its optical imaging department, but all Zeiss lens products bearing the "Sony" logo are produced in the Asian factory of "Sony CarlZeiss Lenses".

In the true sense of the German original lens, the venue is still in Europe, that is to say, the peeling and coating raw materials of high-quality lenses manufactured by Carl Zeiss are completely prohibited from leaving the country according to German laws.

It can be seen that even if the camera lens as a civilian consumer level is so tightly protected, it is conceivable what kind of security level the optical lens as the objective lens system of the lithography machine is.

Objective lens system knowledge One of the three cores of the lithography machine, there are many other products and intellectual property rights that are subject to strict technical confidentiality in relevant countries, and the transfer of patents is prohibited. These are a series of reverse development of the lithography machine. technical barriers.

Luo Sheng suddenly realized that even if he has all the technology of the lithography machine and has a fully mature theoretical and technical system, the manufacturing process will face the most serious problems.

There are too many things involved in this thing. Luo Sheng is confident that it can be achieved by relying on himself or a company to open up the supply chain around lithography equipment.

But the question is how long does it take? ten years later? Fifteen years later?

Obviously, Luo Sheng couldn't wait so long. Even if he wanted to wait, Lao Mei would never give you such a long time to develop.

"There is only one way to solve this problem." Luo Sheng said secretly, nodding involuntarily.

That is to find the country, seek the support of the country, and let the country come forward behind the scenes to lead the country to find a team of enterprises in the field of lithography equipment that can fight to send it over to be dispatched.

Involving some other high-tech enterprises in the Mainland to perform their respective duties and build a domestic supply chain system can shorten the time by more than 90% compared with one person and one company.

Luo Sheng finished thinking and said, "Xiao Na, call Wei Mu."

After a while, Qin Weimu's voice came from outside the computer room: "Is something wrong?"

Luo Sheng said bluntly: "You can arrange the itinerary. I'm going to the capital tomorrow, and you will follow me along the way."

Qin Weimu on the other end of the phone replied in surprise: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, but what are you going to do in the capital?"

Luo Sheng said succinctly: "Internal reference."
