After dinner, Chen Yao returned to the hotel room to rest.
I flushed in the hotel bathroom, then walked out wearing a pair of cool slippers, sat down on the bed, and turned on my phone.
I browsed the news online, and the headlines of the technology and financial pages were all dominated by news about the listing of unforgettable companies.
There are also many media speculations about how much Chen Yao¡¯s wealth will increase after the listing, and will he join the top five richest people in the country?
"Definitely buy it, I have already prepared one million. Without this lithography machine, there would be no glory of China's chip industry today."
"I'm very optimistic about it too. Let's buy together and push up the stock price."
Investor enthusiasm is high and the company's shares are likely to be oversubscribed.
Chen Yao just smiled faintly, then opened Weibo and posted a message telling the media that the price per share was HK$20.
He threw his phone aside, lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
I had no dreams all night until early morning, and got up the next day and put on a T-shirt and jeans.
Then, after breakfast at the hotel with Meng Luolan and Zhou Weiming, they took the high-speed train back to Shenzhen.
Sitting on the train, Meng Luolan said: "I heard that the Dutch ASML company is preparing to launch a new generation of photolithography machines."
Chen Yao nodded: "Well, I've also seen this news. It probably supports the 1-nanometer process."
"It's just that the specific performance is unclear. There are rumors that it is even more powerful than the most powerful photolithography machine that has ever been known.
If this is the case, it will have some negative impact on the company's listing.
Chen Yao does not dare to take it lightly and will always pay attention to the news from them.

Netherlands.
A small, inconspicuous European country has given birth to one of the world's top technology companies.
Although ASML is headquartered in the Netherlands, in fact, this company has always been controlled by the United States. A large number of core technologies are provided by American companies, and the shareholders who control this company are also from American companies.
When exporting products to China, you must obtain a license from the United States before shipping. Is this a Dutch company or an American company?
CEO's office.
Norton Stuart, holding a coffee cup in one hand and opening a newspaper with the other.
In his eyes, Asmai has only one opponent, the unforgettable one from China.
He is particularly concerned about every move of Jiu Mingxin. Today, major financial newspapers are reporting the news that Jiu Mingxin will be listed soon.
Not only did it attract interviews from many media reporters around the world, but it also attracted many wealthy people to compete for subscriptions.
¡°Dong Dong!¡± There was a knock on the door.
Stuart put down the newspaper, and a man with a hooked nose walked in from outside. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a slight smile on his face.
He is the president of global strategy from Intel. McCas pushed up his glasses and stood in front of his desk.
Stuart drank coffee and looked at McCas across from him: "My good friend, I can't see any nervousness on your face.
Don¡¯t you think the legendary trajectory from China is a huge threat? "
McCas sat down and tapped his two fingers on the table rhythmically:
¡°Legendary Track is actually not as powerful as you think. Let¡¯s just say that their lithography machine is the world¡¯s first lithography machine that can support the production of 1-nanometer chips.
ASML has also made it, and we are about to release it, right? "
Speaking of this, Stuart felt excited!
The 1-nanometer lithography machine developed in conjunction with manufacturers around the world is about to be released!
¡° Moreover, it is also 1 nanometer, and its performance exceeds that of the original chip.
Not only is the photolithography speed fast, but it also consumes less power and can produce better chips.
"The powerful performance can make Chen Yao's lithography machine fail miserably.
Stuart nodded happily: "Yes, in just two days we will hold a press conference. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
McCas took the coffee cup from his secretary and took a sip: "Is it enough to be satisfied with just 1 nanometer?"
Stuart's eyelids twitched, as if he guessed the purpose of his coming: "You came here to tell me"
"That's right!" McCas snapped his fingers: "Let's join forces to develop the world's first picometer-level lithography machine!"
Even though Stuart guessed his crazy thoughts, he was stunned by his words for a long time!
The coffee cup is tilted, the concentration in the cup is?The coffee flowed out and dripped onto my lap.
Only then did he react and took out a tissue to wipe it off.
Throwing the paper towel into the trash can, Stuart quickly said: "Cames, are you serious? Do you know how difficult it is to develop a PiMi lithography machine?"
The 1-nanometer lithography machine has just been made and it took 3 years. Now, he wants to make a picometer lithography machine. This idea is really bold.
McCas¡¯ face was serious: ¡°If ASML wants to maintain its role as a global industry leader, it is not enough to rely solely on 1-nanometer lithography machines. We must continue to develop a new generation of lithography machines.
The picometer level is a new era, and we must be the first to create it!
Don¡¯t you deserve this great technological feat? "
We have been talking about nanometers, nanometers, and nanometers all day long. The unit smaller than nanometers is picometer.
By making a picometer-level photolithography machine, the world¡¯s chips will enter the picometer era!
This is a new technological revolution, and it is worth paying a high price for it.
Stuart has had this idea for a long time. He just wants to upgrade the lithography machine to the picometer level. It¡¯s not just imagination!
First of all, this requires huge investment in research and development!
The project has been launched, which means tens of billions of dollars in R&D funds!
Not only ASML, but also parts suppliers around the world must upgrade together.
A large number of top equipment such as German Zeiss lenses, Japanese photoresists, and American extreme ultraviolet sound generators will all be upgraded together.
The time is still very long, at least more than 3 years. At present, the entire industry only stays in theory about picometer-level lithography machines. In fact, the technical complexity is far beyond imagination.
Stuart thought carefully for a long time, and the time passed by
McCas was not in a hurry, tasting the coffee and waiting for his response
I don¡¯t know how long it has been
Stuart gritted his teeth and finally made a decision:
"I agree and start the PiMi lithography machine research and development project!"
McCas smiled, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
The reason why he encouraged Stuart to build a picometer lithography machine was not only for ASML, but also for the American chip industry.
Lithography technology determines the performance of the chip. The better the lithography machine, the smaller the chip can be with stronger performance.
With it, the United States can maintain its chip dominance.
Let American chips continue to be the global leader and never allow China's technology to surpass them.
"Hahaha" McCas laughed proudly: "This is a war of technology. It is the goal of the United States to block the take-off of China's chips!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
