...

Entering the beginning of August, the global media was reporting this incident, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was overwhelming.

149.6 billion U.S. dollars, excluding exchange rate changes, about 10202 billion yuan.

The market value of Bluestar Technology Group has risen by RMB 1 trillion in three days. When the news spread to the country, 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 almost fell under their shoes.

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

How much money is this most profitable?Compared with Wal-Mart, the world’s top 500 in revenue, the profit in the first half of this year was only more than 6 billion US dollars, while the net profit of Bluestar Technology Group in the first half of this year reached 26.25 billion US dollars, more than four times that of Wal-Mart.

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

The Forbes Global Rich List also released its 24th issue. Since reaching the top in 2009, Luo Sheng has continued to be the world's richest man. Forbes has given a nominal value of US$197.5 billion.

The second is Buffett, with US$62.2 billion; the third is Mexico’s richest man with US$53.5 billion, and the fourth is Bill Gates with US$53 billion; the fifth is India’s richest man with US$29 billion.

Luo Sheng holds 25.94% of Bluestar Technology. With the company’s current total market value of 639.2 billion U.S. dollars, personal net assets have 165.8 billion U.S. dollars, followed by Côte d’Azur Group’s 30% equity, which brings in 247 100 million US dollars in net assets, and finally Shengfeng Capital brought 7 billion US dollars in net assets.

The total nominal net assets is a staggering 197.5 billion US dollars, an unprecedented record.

In fact, Luo Sheng, unknown to outsiders, is the largest shareholder of Shengfeng Capital. His offshore family fund has now exceeded US$87.5 billion in assets, which is a huge hidden 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 is meaningless to a rich man of his level. Just imagine that one person has the ownership of a golden mountain in name but cannot control it, and another person does not have the ownership in name, but owns it. Jinshan's allocation right can control it.

It can be seen that the allocation right is the fundamental, which is more important than ownership.

Rich is an enemy country, this idiom is the most appropriate for Luo Sheng today.

The media are carrying out overwhelming reports, and online discussions are also full of enthusiasm. However, Luo Sheng, the person involved, did not care about information from the outside world, but was obsessed with learning and dabbled in new fields.

...

The supercomputer room in the underground library of the Science and Technology Complex.

Luo Sheng, dressed in a T-shirt and oversized pants, stayed here alone. He sat on the ground with his back leaning against a cabinet with an unimaginable butt, holding an ieP tablet in his hand and slid nonstop.

Outsiders can never imagine the daily life of the world's richest man, worth nearly 200 billion US dollars, which is about 1.34 trillion yuan. The netizens of eating melons definitely have the same illusion as me.

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

Xiaona's voice came into his ears, and Luo Sheng said without a move: "Index the content of file No. 3, take it for verification, and the result will be directly archived."

"Good!"

At this time, Luo Sheng turned off the tablet in his hand and let him sleep, while he couldn't help looking up at the ceiling, muttering to himself: "The lithography machine, the lithography machine...it's difficult."

Want to develop and manufacture an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine from scratch and almost oneself is really not what people should do.

The lithography machine wants to accomplish this, not just a simple technical problem, there are too many obstacles.

"Master, since nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, and infrastructure heavy industries can all break technical barriers by introducing + reverse engineering models, why not dismantle the ASML lithography machine purchased by Xiongxin Electronics for reverse engineering for reproduction?"

Xiaona suddenly raised a question. Here, only Xiaona can chat with Luo Sheng to relieve her boredom.

"No, it took such a great effort to get a piece of equipment to come over. If you screw 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 this. We are already running for extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. The technology is gone...I don't understand it after I tell you." Luo Sheng shook his head, re-woke up the tablet and called up a set of data for review.

Reverse engineering is almost impossible to achieve on equipment such as lithography machines.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the commercial contract constraint. ASML is currently the only company in the world that produces advanced process lithography machines. Xiongxin Electronics, as its important customer, needs to face quite cumbersome transaction contracts and comprehensive reviews in terms of equipment procurement.

After obtaining the cooperation of ASML company at the enterprise level, it will be subject to the constraints of the Dutch authorities. For this purpose, it has set the procurement review standards of general goods beyond the international level, and even in extreme cases, it will receive advance interference from the country where the core shareholders of ASML are located, such as American interference.

The second is the restriction of technology and intellectual property rights, especially if Chinese companies want to buy a major power tool such as lithography machines, they need to ensure that they will not infringe, destroy, or affect the legal rights of ASML related products and intellectual property rights. Reverse development is absolutely prohibited. Prohibited, these Xiongxin Electronics have signed a contract.

The third is ASML's secret door setting and security measures for the lithography machine.The 45nm lithography machine introduced by Xiongxin Electronics this time, the product is sold to you only to teach your engineers how to use and simple PM. If there is a problem, the engineers of ASML will solve the problem. Without the internal structure, the reverse development is impossible.

Peter Winnick once vowed to say that ASML's advanced process lithography equipment is not likely to be copied. All equipment is equipped with a series of sensors. Any abnormal illegal operation will be detected and an immediate warning will be issued. ASML headquarters The meeting was informed for the first time that this advanced self-destructing device sensor equipment is also ASML's reliance on ensuring its global exclusive monopoly of lithography machines.

Moreover, if the equipment is disassembled, in case the reverse development fails, Xiongxin Electronics will be GG. Unlike other equipment, which is replaced by purchasers, it is in a serious seller market environment on the problem of lithography machines. Once it is decided to break through the barriers Reverse engineering is forcibly carried out, and ASML will completely cut off the confession, plus the headache of transnational lawsuits and huge compensation for breach of contract.

Not surprisingly, the core shareholders of ASML, led by the United States, will definitely take part in the fight on issues such as product, technology, and intellectual property cooperation in related fields.

So in order to avoid these problems, Luo Sheng could only carry out theoretical reverse development through supercomputing. Fortunately, he has the key memory of his previous life.

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

What about the 70,000 to 80,000 parts, technical problems, and the degree of localization of the industrial chain required for an advanced lithography machine?

Let's say one of the core structures of the lithography machine-the objective lens system.At present, only the German company CarlZeiss can produce and supply optical lens systems in the world.

Sony has invested heavily in CarlZeiss to develop and manufacture excellent photography and video lens products for its optical imaging department. However, all Zeiss lens products with the "Sony" logo are produced in the Asian factory of "Sony CarlZeiss Lens".

In the true sense of the German original factory lens, the venue is still in Europe, that is to say, the high-quality lens made by CarlZeiss stripped and coated raw materials are completely prohibited from leaving the country in accordance with German law.

It can be seen that even if the consumer-grade photographic lens is so tightly protected, it is conceivable how confidential the optical lens as the objective lens system of the lithography machine exists.

One of the three cores of the objective lens system knowledge lithography machine. There are many other products and intellectual property rights that are at the level of strict technical confidentiality and patent prohibition in the relevant countries. These are a series of reverse development of the lithography machine. Technical barriers.

Luo Sheng suddenly realized that even if he had completed all the technology of the lithography machine and had a fully mature theoretical technology system, the manufacturing process would face the most severe problems.

There are too many things involved in this stuff. Just relying on one person or a company to open up the supply chain around the lithography machine equipment, Luo Sheng is confident that it can be achieved.

But the problem is that it takes time?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, and nodded uncontrollably.

That is to look for the country, seek the support of the country, let the country come forward and lead the country to find a team of companies in the field of lithography equipment industry that can play and send it to wait for dispatch.

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

Luo Sheng finished thinking and immediately said, "Xiaona, call Weimu."

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

Luo Sheng said straightforwardly: "You plan your itinerary. I'm going to the capital tomorrow, so you will follow along."

Qin Weimu on the other end of the phone replied in surprise: "Okay, I will make arrangements right away, but what do I do to the capital?"

Luo Shengyan said concisely: "Internal reference."
