Rewrite the Technological Landscape

The fact that Harbin Institute of Technology has developed a 150-watt light source is also very clear to Intel, but they were calm before because Cymer has at least produced the light source, and more importantly, they have not heard that Dafeng Group has any What a breakthrough.

But because of the light source, they have always been worried in their hearts, especially when the Dafeng Group acquired Nikon, and the old-fashioned talents from the Neon Kingdom have come to Dafeng Group, a highly creative enterprise, who knows what will happen. chemical reaction.

So their only reliance is Zeiss, they are all waiting for Zeiss to bring them good news, in the end, Zeiss brought them the worst news

Once Zeiss cooperates with Dafeng Group, if Dafeng Group produces the lens first with its own strength, then the result is needless to say, and now even if Zeiss produces the lens first, with this cooperative relationship, it will not be able to limit Dafeng Group.

At this time, combined with the advantage of the light source of Dafeng Group, things will be difficult to handle.

Paul immediately flew to Germany to find Hoffman, "Mr. Hoffman, why did Zeiss cooperate with Gale Group?"

"We have needs and conditions for cooperation, why not?" Huffman knew what Paul meant, but he didn't care.

Paul showed a strange force, "Mr. Huffman, Zeiss has already cooperated with ASML, is it somewhat inappropriate to cooperate with Dafeng Group now?"

"We should have a free cooperative relationship with ASML, right?" Huffman spread his hands in response, with an attitude of not accepting Paul's, "ASML has never blocked our right to cooperate with foreign countries.

Besides, ASML itself is not a company that relies on cooperation. Besides, I don’t remember that Intel has cooperated with Dafeng Group before. In this era of globalization, it is very common to cooperate with multiple similar companies. Well, our goal is to break through technology as soon as possible. "

In principle, Paul has no advantage at all, so he had no choice but to say clearly, "Mr. Huffman should be very clear about the significance and status of lithography machines in the semiconductor industry."

"Of course I know, otherwise we wouldn't have put so much energy into this market."

"Have Mr. Huffman considered what will happen once the lithography machine is monopolized by Dafeng Group?"

"I don't think Gale Group will monopolize lithography machines. If Gale Group really builds EUV lithography machines before ASML, I believe they will share them fairly."

"Mr. Huffman really believes Meng Qian's statement?"

"Of course, I believe." Huffman gave Paul an unusually positive answer.

To be honest, Huffman's affirmation surprised Paul, and he subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because Meng Qian has fulfilled every promise he made to the world." Huffman's expression gradually became serious, "Mr. Paul, as the CEO of Zeiss, every decision I make is responsible for this company. We chose to cooperate with Dafeng Group not only because of its advanced technology, but also because of the good conditions he offered us. We have done detailed investigation and in-depth research.

At least so far, Meng Qian keeps his word. "

"The investigation by Zeiss is probably a bit biased." Paul also became serious, "The Dafeng Group has played a lot of tricks."

"But they are all counterattacks. If there is no one to do it first, the Gale Group will never take the initiative to target any company."

Huffman and Paul just looked at each other. Paul knew that he could not persuade Huffman, and Intel really had nothing to do with this century-old brand. Germany is not Canada, and it will not watch its core enterprises be bullied casually. .

It is impossible for Paul to really turn against Zeiss. Before leaving, he politely expressed that he would cooperate more in the future.

Instead, Huffman sent Paul two sentences, "Mr. Paul, everything we do is in line with the basic principles of the free market. There is no monopoly, no coercion, and no infringement. I don't think there is anything wrong with us.

If Mr. Paul has any thoughts on this cooperation, I sincerely suggest that Mr. Paul can go to Huaxia to have a good chat with Meng Qian, and really sit down and have a chat. "

When Paul left Zeiss and walked on the streets of Germany, he still made a decision and bought a ticket to China.

In the Dafeng Group, Meng Qian responded enthusiastically to Paul, just like meeting old friends, without any resistance.

Paul proposed to take a good look at the Dafeng Group, and Meng Qian readily agreed. This is indeed the first time that Paul has visited so seriously, and he is unwilling to miss any details.

After turning around, Paul found a strange entry point, "Mr. Meng, does he know that in the past two years, a trend of overtime work has begun to appear in our country."

"Overtime thought trend?" Meng Qian actually knew about this matter. After another ten years, a group of people suddenly appeared in Europe who started advocating overtime work. Of course, it was only a small number of people, but Meng Qian had some doubts about their cognition.

"Some people said that Americans are too lazy, and if this continues, they will be surpassed by hardworking Asians. Many of them mentioned the Dafeng Group. They think that this kind of hard work is behind the success of the Dafeng Group."

"Compared with Europeans, Americans can't be said to be lazy."

Paul said to himself, "I am here today and suddenly feel that this trend of thinking may be right."

Realizing that Paul didn't understand his deep meaning, Meng Qian had no choice but to speak bluntly, "Then Mr. Paul may not know that in our China, employees have been fighting for the right not to work overtime these years, and more and more Even if you give him overtime wages, he is not willing to work overtime.

I don’t know why people on your side think that overtime is hard work. Overtime and hard work are not the same thing. To equate overtime with hard work is a joke, and it even means depriving rights by using hard work.

If you don’t let him work overtime, some people will work overtime when they go home, and if you force them to work overtime, their overtime efficiency will not be very high.

Effort is fundamentally a spontaneous thing. Of course, enterprises can guide efforts, which is what enterprises should do, but the way to guide efforts is not to work overtime, but to stimulate their inner needs. It is true that overtime is very serious in our Dafeng Group, but We have made it very clear to every employee that because of our corporate mission and our corporate vision, we are such a company that needs to work overtime frequently. If you agree with the vision or salary, you are willing to work hard for your dream or for Make more money and try to accept overtime then you stay and fight with us.

This kind of overtime work is conditional, not that if I spend money to hire you, I have to squeeze you out, or I feel that I have lost my money, not to mention that other companies work overtime, and we also work overtime. Two things.

Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, so whether a company chooses employees or an employee chooses a company, it is actually the same as falling in love. It is to find people who are compatible with the three views as much as possible, but you can’t say that people who don’t work overtime just don’t Work hard, right?

There is an ideological trend in the United States of wanting to work overtime, and there is a strong ideological trend in China that does not want to work overtime. It is good that people with the same ideas can be matched together. There is no right or wrong.

To equate working overtime with hard work, then I can only say that those people don't understand what the hard work of our Chinese people is all about. "

Now Paul understands, "Then I wonder if Mr. Meng is willing to share what is the most important core of Dafeng Group's success."

"Cooperation." Meng Qian blurted out.

Paul choked suddenly, and Meng Qian said with a smile, "Mr. Paul, do you always believe that I really don't want to engage in monopoly?"

"This" Paul thought for a while, "Gale Group is a commercial company after all, isn't it?"

"But openness is not free, and it doesn't affect our ability to make money." Meng Qian stared straight at Paul, "I really don't know how to make you understand that my vision is not about business competition at all.

Sometimes I really wonder why, as a company that can affect the world, why should we narrowly focus on short-term profits? If we all join hands, we can really do a lot of great things.

For example, to really go out of the solar system to explore the universe, such as tackling life sciences, to understand the mysteries of human beings, such as digging deep into history, to appreciate the development of the world.

I believe that many people wanted to become scientists when they were young because of interest. I believe that many children were curious about what the outside world was like when they looked up at the stars, and they looked forward to going to farther places one day. This is the most beautiful appearance of science.

However, when he grows up, the universe he loves is completely blinded by money, isn't it sad?

Whether it is placed in the long river of history or in the vast universe, human beings are insignificant and not worth mentioning. The development of science and technology is the only thing that can make us feel a little bit of existence.

As a result, we create barriers for ourselves.

In China, there is a novel called "The Three-Body Problem". In the novel, there is a setting that an alien civilization uses a thing called a sophon to limit the technological development of our planet.

Now I feel that the author overestimates the human beings on our planet a little bit. We don’t need any sophons at all. Monopoly and hegemony will strictly limit our technological development, so that we can only survive in this world forever like frogs at the bottom of a well. superior. "

When Meng Qian said this, his expression was complicated, with helplessness, ridicule, expectation, and disappointment, and Meng Qian's words really hit Paul.

For the first time, Paul began to re-examine the Dafeng Group and Meng Qian in a real sense.

And he brought this new feeling back to the United States. When communicating with the directors of Intel and the leaders of companies such as Microsoft and IBM, Paul told them this feeling.

"The real miracle created by Meng Qian is that he is the first idealist who can do this for the enterprise." When Bill Gates heard Paul talking about these things, he gave his evaluation.

"And when idealists have absolute influence, everything becomes unpredictable."

Bill Gates couldn't help imagining the future, "Will there really be a new order in this world?"
