...

As early as August, media around the world are reporting on this matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming.

US$149.6 billion, excluding exchange rate changes, is approximately RMB 1020.2 billion.

The market value of Bluestar Technology Group rose by 1 trillion yuan in three days. The news reached the country, and almost all mainland media put the keyword "1 trillion" in the headlines on the front page.

Countless industry insiders saw the news and saw this string of numbers and his chin was almost shocked to fall under the soles of his shoes.

Although Bluestar Technology's revenue is not among the top 500 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 the most profitable? Compared with Walmart, which has the world's top 500 revenue, its profit in the first half of this year was only more than US$6 billion, while Bluestar Technology Group's net profit in the first half of this year reached US$26.25 billion, more than four times that of Walmart.

Terrifying profits are the fundamental reason why Bluestar Technology Group's stock has gone crazy.

The 24th issue of Forbes' Global Rich List was released. Since Luo Sheng reached the top in 2009, he has continued to be the richest man in the world. The nominal value given by Forbes is US$197.5 billion.

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

Luo Sheng holds 25.94% of Blue Star Technology's shares. With the company's current total market value of US$639.2 billion, its personal net assets own US$165.8 billion, followed by Costa 1, 30% of the equity, which brought US$24.7 billion in net assets to this end, and finally Shengfeng Capital brought it US$7 billion in net assets.

The total nominal net worth is an astonishing US$197.5 billion, an unprecedented record.

In fact, Luo Sheng, who is not known to outsiders, is the largest shareholder of Shengfeng Capital. His offshore family fund's assets have now exceeded US$87.5 billion, which is a huge invisible wealth.

However, from a legal perspective, 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 controlled the family fund and controlled the right to allocate the wealth.

The ownership of assets has no meaning to a rich man of his level. Just imagine that one person has the ownership of a mountain of gold in name but cannot control it, and another person does not have the ownership in name but has the allocation rights of this mountain of gold in name and can control it.

It can be seen from this that the right to configure is the foundation, which is more important than ownership.

Wealth is as good as a country, and this idiom is most appropriate to use today's Luo Sheng.

The media are conducting overwhelming reports, and online discussions are also booming, but the person involved Luo Sheng does not care about external information, but is addicted to learning and dabbling in new fields.

...

Science and Technology Complex Building, in the supercomputer room of the underground warehouse.

Luo Sheng, wearing a T-shirt and big shorts, stayed here alone, sitting on the ground with no image and leaning against a cabinet, holding an IEP tablet in his hand and sliding non-stop.

Outsiders absolutely cannot imagine that the world's richest man, who is worth nearly 200 billion US dollars, is about 1.34 trillion yuan, is in this way. Netizens who eat melons definitely have the same illusion when they see it.

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

Xiaona's voice came into his ears, and Luo Sheng said casually: "Take the contents of the index file No. 3 to verify it, and the results are released and archived directly."

"Okay!"

At this time, Luo Sheng turned off the tablet in his hand and let him sleep. He couldn't help but look up at the ceiling and murmured to himself: "Lithography machine, lithography machine... is difficult to do."

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

If you want to accomplish this matter of lithography machine, it is not just a technical problem, but there are too many obstacles.

"Master, since nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, infrastructure and heavy industry can all break the technical barriers through the introduction + reverse engineering model, why not dismantle the a**l lithography machine purchased by Xiongxin Electronics for reverse engineering and replicate it?"

Xiaona suddenly raised a question, and here she was the only one who could chat with Luo Sheng to relieve her boredom.

"No, I spent so much effort to build a device. I messed up Xiongxin Electronics and may not be able to operate for five years. A**l will definitely turn against me, and there is no need to do this. We are already working on extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology... Forget it and I don't understand if I tell you." Luo Sheng shook his head, woke up the tablet and called up a set of data to view it.

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

The first thing to be affected is the commercial contract constraints. a**l is currently the only company in the world that produces advanced process lithography machines. As an important customer, Xiongxin Electronics needs to face quite cumbersome transaction contracts and comprehensive reviews in equipment procurement.

After obtaining the cooperation of a**l at the enterprise level, it must be subject to the constraints of the Dutch authorities, which sets out the procurement review standards for general international commodities, and even in extreme cases, it will receive advanced interference from the country where a**l's core shareholders are located, such as the interference of Americans.

The second is the constraints of technology and intellectual property rights. Especially if Chinese companies want to purchase lithography machines, they need to ensure that they cannot infringe on, destroy, or affect the legitimate rights and interests of intellectual property rights. Reverse development is absolutely prohibited. These Xiongxin Electronics have signed contracts.

The third is the secret door setting and confidentiality measures of a**l for lithography machines. The 45-nanometer lithography machine introduced by Xiongxin Electronics this time is sold to you. It is just to teach your engineers how to use it and simple pm. If there is a problem, there will be a**l engineers to solve it. Xiongxin Electronics engineers cannot get in touch with the internal structure at all, and there is no way to talk about it if you want to reverse development.

Peter Venick once said confidently that a**l's advanced process lithography machine equipment does not have the possibility of being copied. All equipment is equipped with a series of sensors. Any abnormal illegal operation will be detected and a warning will be issued immediately. a**l headquarters will learn from the first time that this advanced self-destruction device sensor equipment is also the reliance of a**l to ensure its global exclusive monopoly position in lithography machines.

Moreover, if the equipment is disassembled, if the reverse development fails, Xiongxin Electronics will be gged. Unlike other equipment, it is replaced by buyers. It is in a serious seller market environment for lithography machines. Once it decides to break through the constraints and forcefully launch reverse engineering, what will follow will be a**l complete supply cutoff plus a headache-inducing cross-border litigation, huge breach of contract compensation.

As expected, the core shareholders of a**l, led by the United States, will definitely participate and kill on issues such as products, technology, and intellectual property cooperation in related fields.

So in order to avoid these problems, Luo Sheng could only perform theoretical reverse development through supercomputers. Fortunately, he had the key memory of his previous life.

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

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

Let’s talk about one of the core constructions of lithography machines - the objective lens system. Currently, only the German company Carl Zeiss in the world can produce and supply optical lens systems.

Sony spent a huge amount of money to inject carl zeiss to develop and manufacture excellent photography and camera lens products for its optical imaging department, but all zeiss lens products with the "sony" logo are produced in the Asian factory of "Sony Carl zeiss lenses".

The real German original lenses are still in Europe. That is to say, the high-quality lenses manufactured by Carl Zeiss are completely prohibited from leaving the country according to German laws.

It can be seen from this that even if the consumer-grade photography lenses are so tightly protected, it is easy to imagine how confidential the optical lenses as the objective lens system of the lithography machine are.

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

Luo Sheng suddenly realized that even if he had done all the technology of lithography machines and had a fully mature theoretical and technical system, the manufacturing process would have to face the most serious problems.

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

But the question is what will take time? Ten years later? Fifteen years later?

Obviously, Luo Sheng cannot wait for such a long time. Even if he wants to wait, the United States will never give you such a long time to develop.

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

That is to find the country, seek the support of the country, and let the country take the lead behind the scenes to find a team of enterprises in the lithography equipment industry that can be used to send them to the scene.

Let other high-tech enterprises in the mainland participate in their respective duties and create a domestic supply chain system. Compared with one person and one company, the time can be shortened by more than 90%.

Luo Sheng finished thinking and said, "Xiao Na, contact Weimu by phone."

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

Luo Sheng said directly: "You arrange your itinerary. I will go to the capital tomorrow, so you can follow me."

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

Luo Sheng said concisely: "Insider."
