"Hello, noble gentlemen, my name is Lin Benjian. I am an engineer at TSMC!" Lin Benjian looked at the Fusang man in front of him and said in broken Japanese.

"I am from Chinese, not from Fusang!" Boss Jia said lightly in standard Mandarin. Lin Benjian was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the one who called him from the front desk and inside the Mercedes-Benz business car was actually a Chinese.

"You are Taipei, and Kaohsiung..."

"I am from China!" Boss Jia repeated, and a different smell immediately appeared in Lin Benjian's eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of contempt in his tone. He shook his head and said, "It seems that you have found the wrong person, please let me get out of the car. I still have important things to do."

"I am Jia Yapeng, chairman of Daqian Group. I can help you!" Although Boss Jia was very unhappy, he also knew that in the eyes of Wanwan people these days, all Chinese people are paupers.

Well, it’s not the day before. Even in 2020, most people in Wanwan still think so.

"I don't know any Daqian Group, please let me get off!" Lin Benjian shook his head and insisted on getting off.

Seeing that Lin Benjian's face was still full of disdain, Boss Jia was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Do you really don't know our Daqian Group?"

"Why, do I need to know any small company in China?" Lin Benjian said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Let him go down!" Boss Jia waved his hand, and Boss Jia's bodyguard asked Lin Benjian to get out of the car.

"You guys stare at this guy for me, and you are not allowed to leave your sight for a moment!" Boss Jia ordered the bodyguard, and the two bodyguards immediately got out of the car and followed him.

"You go to the company to find someone with good acting skills and let him do this..." Boss Jia said a few words to his secretary. The secretary nodded, and the car left the door of Nikon.

"This group of damn Fusang people... I didn't expect that even mainlanders can sit and sing in front of me now, and I don't know if it was rented." Lin Benjian was drinking to relieve his sorrows in an izakaya. He originally wanted to get himself drunk, but unfortunately Fusang's sake was not intoxicating at all. Lin Benjian became more and more painful as he drank.

"Sir, drinking alone is not a good thing. We are both lonely and pitiful people, so why not be together!" A middle-aged man walked to Lin Benjian and said in Japanese.

Lin Benjian didn't refuse when someone drank with him. The two of them started drinking, and then they started chatting together.

The middle-aged man probably got drunk and started to tell his story first, saying that he was an engineer at Nikon, but he was not valued by the company's senior management. Many research results were ignored, and he was very talented and didn't meet anything.

This made Lin Benjian feel deeply the same, and then said, "I am the same. The superiors are not optimistic about my project and insist on negotiating with those damn companies myself, but they don't even want to see me. Now I really have no choice except to go to the Netherlands!"

Once Lin Benjian unfolded the clip, he immediately started talking nonstop.

It turned out that Lin Benjian was originally a researcher at IBM. He worked at IBM for 22 years. Later, because he was excluded from IBM, he jumped to TSMC and became an associate R&D manager of TSMC. He is a middle-level manager with a certain status, while Lin Benjian studies imaging technology.

Lin Benjian really wanted to do something. By chance, he learned that the lithography machine technology was stuck at the 70nm level, which made the current giants in the lithography machine industry, namely Nikon, Canon, and South Korea's Samsung, all stuck at the 70nm level and unable to make progress.

Because of the traditional dry imaging method at this time, its limit is 70nm, which is a physical limitation, and it is too difficult to surpass this limit.

Faced with this dilemma, almost all lithography machine manufacturers have begun to invest huge amounts of money in dry imaging, believing that they can only continue to make breakthroughs in dry imaging surface production.

Lin Benjian accidentally learned this, and combined with the immersion imaging method he was studying, Lin Benjian suddenly felt that this was the way to continue to improve the lithography machine.

So Lin Benjian proposed to TSMC to study immersive lithography machines.

As a result, TSMC was shocked. Although they are one of the largest electronic manufacturers in the world, their main job is production, and R&D is secondary, and they have no intention of developing a national important tool like a lithography machine.

TSMC rejected Lin Benjian's suggestion very simply, and even granted research funds to Lin Benjian. Then he drew a picture cake for him and told Lin Benjian that as long as he could find a lithography machine manufacturer that he was willing to cooperate with and let them fully accept Lin Benjian's plan, TSMC would consider cooperating with the matter of designing lithography machines.

So Lin Benjian first went to South Korea and found Samsung.

Later, he came to Fusang and went to Nikon and Canon to sell his immersion imaging method. As a result, he was humiliated and driven out just like the treatment Lin Benjian received in Nikon.

Nikon, Canon, and Samsung not only did not approve of Lin Benjian's idea, but also scolded Lin Benjian very hard. Lin Benjian even heard that these two companies put pressure on TSMC at the same time to let them drive out Lin Benjian, a guy who disrupted the market. Although TSMC did not reply, Lin Benjian already had a bad premonition.

"I just can't figure it out. I'm doing scientific research well, why don't everyone recognize me!" Lin Benjian lamented, and couldn't help crying.

"Hey, I understand you very much, Nikon's bastards, they don't understand what technology is at all!" The Nikon engineer also said empathically.

"Friend, wait a while, I'll go to the toilet, and we'll talk later!" After the Nikon engineer finished speaking, he went into the toilet.

However, he seemed drunk just now, and as soon as he entered the bathroom, he immediately became smarter. Then he called Boss Jia, told all the news he had obtained from the Ming Benjia, and told Boss Jia.

"Making lithography machines with immersion imaging!" Boss Jia pondered. He had no idea about lithography machines in his previous life, only knowing that Warwick was choked by lithography machines, but Boss Jia did not know the specific principles of lithography machines.

I don’t even know the story of the legendary figure Lin Benjian.

Fortunately, Boss Jia himself is a top student. When he was studying with Ni Guangnan, he more or less mastered some knowledge of lithography machines. He is not a novice. On the contrary, he is very familiar with the current situation of lithography machines and also clearly knows the current dilemma of dry imaging.

"Is this method OK to immerse in water to make an image?" But even the genius boss Jia, who heard the idea of ​​completely abandoning tradition and immersing the lens into water to make an image is completely unstable.

"Hurry up, call the teacher's house and ask Teacher Ni to answer the phone!" Boss Jia immediately ordered his secretary, but Ni Guangnan's wife answered the phone and said that Ni Guangnan was still in the laboratory.

"This old man is desperate!" Boss Jia muttered, then continued to call the laboratory, answered the phone with his teacher, and quickly told Ni Guangnan about the idea of ​​immersion imaging.

Then for a full 10 minutes, the other end of the phone fell into complete silence.

"Teacher! What do you think?" Boss Jia couldn't help it and asked.

"I don't know..." This is a confused voice that Boss Jia had never heard before. "Theoretically, this makes sense. This path may work, but it may be a dead end. If you follow this path, you may spend billions of dollars in, and all of them will be scrapped, without any results!"

"Can you leave?" asked Boss Jia.

"I don't know...you should make a decision..." Ni Guangnan himself became timid, so he threw the decision back to Boss Jia's hands.
