Son, how did you become the richest man in elementary school?

Although the four old men are old, their thinking is extremely quick. After confirming the technology, they immediately began to discuss the details of the plan.

There are many issues involved here.

How to justifiably join.

How to justifiably obtain information and technology.

How to send the materials back to China without anyone noticing.

How to develop.

There are many of these problems, and even if there is a slight mistake, the final result is direct failure.

But fortunately.

In this world, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

This discussion lasted for three full days.

after that.

It's not just the discussion of the four old people, but also the discussion with the senior officials of several national research institutes.

In three days, one solution after another was proposed, and one backup measure after another was proposed.

And the plan, which was just a prototype, has become more and more perfect.

In fact, this is stealing technology.

but……

In the face of national interests, even if such an approach is not honorable, no one thinks it is anything at all.

Not to mention the truth.

Is it still rare to steal domestic things overseas?

and.

This was not a fair track in the first place.

Let alone the semiconductor field, if everyone develops independently and does not interfere with each other, then naturally there is no need to steal anything. If everyone develops independently and does not conflict with each other, it is okay to be inferior to others.

But the crux of the matter is.

Overseas has always been aimed at China in terms of emerging technologies.

Many things, in fact, are not impossible to research in China.

Instead, technology is blocked, misled by banana people, and blocked by various agreement restrictions.Overseas can do a lot to maliciously block the development of domestic technology.

In this situation.

Also pay attention to what is upright, behind closed doors, that is not called being aboveboard.

That's called being stupid!

Finally, when the complete planning chain took shape, all the problems returned to the initial stage again.

"The method of using refraction is really simple. If those overseas companies also think of this method, we can only steal a little iterative technology."

"Yeah, will overseas also think of this method? Even if they have already started research and development, our time will be too late."

"If that's the case, all our previous preparations will be in vain, and even we will continue to be suppressed."

Everyone looked at Liang Sining.

But Liang Sining didn't answer.

Instead, after accepting everyone's attention, he turned his attention to Gu Xiu, who was here most of the time, who was the favorite of the group.

This kid is really chic these days.

I have seen all kinds of big shots, I don’t know how many, and many of them may even mention the name of 404, and Gu Xiu has seen it.

And it's not just as simple as seeing.

Many of them also chatted happily.

And these bigwigs have surprisingly consistent evaluations of Gu Xiu:

"Young people are awesome, and the future can be expected!"

Some of them even planned to compete with old comrade Liang Sining for apprentices.

And at this moment, face this problem again.

Gu Xiu finally stopped being perfunctory.

But after thinking about it, I gave an answer:

"Sunk costs!"

Chapter 409 Removing the last hidden danger

"Sunk costs?"

Hearing Gu Xiu's answer, everyone present was taken aback.

Seeing that Gu Xiu has continued to speak:

"Sunk costs, to put it bluntly, refer to expenses that have occurred in the past but are not relevant to the current decision."

"Technical breakthroughs are made by changing the medium. There are countless uncertainties and problems that need to be solved."

"This means that the previous research and development direction is no longer applicable, and even needs to be overthrown and restarted. Then the funds, manpower and material resources invested before are regarded as sunk costs, which are considered a waste."

"And a little more."

"Because this thing is still uncertain, big manufacturers like Nikon have been following the correct route before, and now they can succeed by following the previous route."

"You say."

"Are they still willing to give up their previous advantages and turn around to take a gamble for a concept full of uncertainties?"

Speaking of this, without waiting for everyone to answer, Gu Xiu shook his head first:

"My elementary school teacher said that barefoot people are not afraid of shoes, because they have nothing to lose anyway."

"We are willing to invest in research and development of this new direction, because we are already lagging behind, and no matter how bad we are, we will go nowhere."

"But what about the companies that are in the shoes, or even the ones who have been at the forefront?"

"Success is a joy for all."

"But if they fail, they will completely lose the shoes they are wearing on their feet."

"so."

"The higher you stand, the more you are afraid of falling. Naturally, it is easier to worry about sunk costs."

These words can be regarded as reaching the hearts of everyone present.

indeed.

They were able to agree to the plan so quickly, to believe in the method, even, without extensive experiments to come to a final conclusion.

It is because they themselves are lagging behind.

There is no room for decline.

Of course, I am not afraid to continue to fall.

But what about other countries and other companies?

They just think more than themselves because they need to worry.

There will be more too.

And sometimes, if there are more worries, there will be more problems, and the efficiency will naturally drop.

Seeing that no one questioned him, Gu Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is really hard to explain.

He came from the future, so he knew very well that big companies like Nikon probably already knew this method before.

But he sneered and ignored it.

They even intend to block the person who proposed this concept and technology.

As a result, ASML, who was wanted to fight hard and tried bravely once, directly overtook the curve and became the world's number one.

And the previous big neon manufacturers are gradually being left behind.

Even because of this, Neon's semiconductor industry fell directly from glory.

fell to the second line.

It formed a situation where the Asmer family dominated in the end.

"Sunk cost is indeed something that hinders other companies' research and development, but it is not afraid of [-], just in case." Some people still have some concerns.

This time.

They bet everything.

If it fails in the end, it will be a bad situation and they can't afford to be cautious.

"You really should be careful, so just in case, we have to deal with one person." Gu Xiu said.

"Solve a person?"

"Who?"

Everyone became curious.

But Gu Xiu said: "TSMC, see Lin Ben!"

"Who is this guy?"

"An engineer from TSMC."

"What to do with him?"

"I heard that he has already proposed a method to replace the media, and with this method, he went to Neon to lobby Nikon and Canon to try to replace the media."

"What!!!" Everyone was shocked:

"Is the news accurate?"

"really?"

"This... TSMC people also thought of this?"

"Oops, do you know Nikon's attitude?"

That's definitely what worries them the most.

After all, their biggest hole card lies in the method of replacing the medium, which is also the most important part of the plan.

If this method is tested by the strongest Nikon Canon.

No matter how prepared they are.

In the end, it will fall short.

"I heard the news from a cousin of my classmate. He was traveling in Nihong a few days ago and happened to meet him."

"This news is basically accurate."

This……

Everyone's complexions suddenly became ugly, and the old men all frowned.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu comforted him:

"But everyone can rest assured that Canon and Nikon's current position makes it impossible to give up their previous advantages and invest time and energy in this."

"So, they rejected Lin Benjian, and even kicked Lin Benjian out of the company. I heard that they even planned to put pressure on TSMC to block this person."

Refused?

Do you want to block this person?

In an instant, the originally gloomy clouds turned into clearing the clouds and mists to see the dawn.
