Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Zhao Qin also did not know much about lithography machines, but after being bombarded by the self-media in later generations,

I have heard a lot of people talking about this and that, so I have some impression that photolithography involves optics, electronics, material machinery, etc.

Its supply chain is even more exaggerated. There are thousands of parts, and each part must reach a very high level of precision, which places higher demands on equipment and raw materials.

In other words, creating a lithography machine from scratch is not about overcoming a single difficulty.

Instead, there are thousands of levels waiting to be conquered one by one, and the money spent on this is like lighting an incinerator and throwing money into it.

The little money I have now, even with the Yu family's money, is still a drop in the bucket.

So he had to speed up the process of making money. This was the fundamental reason why he was so aggressive in this bet.

By earning this money, at least the initial funds for research and development will be available.

He said his idea, "Ako, our investment may be calculated at tens of billions per year, and if we stop, all our efforts will be wasted, so we need money, a huge amount of funds."

Yu Fa Ke's scalp tingled after hearing this, but after a moment he pounded the tree next to him.

"Okay, I'll stick with you through thick and thin. By the way, what do you think would happen if we really built that thing?"

"Then you are a national hero. Even if I find ten or eight beauties to accompany me every day, even if I have a lot of extra children, no one will say anything."

"Get lost, you want to tire me to death?"

The two of them returned to the hotel chatting and laughing. Yu Fako actually wanted to ask what to do if he lost the bet, but the stone would be opened tomorrow, so it was better not to say anything discouraging.

At night, except for Zhao Qin and Wang Jiasheng, everyone slept restlessly.

Zhao Qin simply trusted Tongzi, but Wang Jiasheng thought more simply. If his junior brother really lost everything, the worst that could happen was that he would go back to the mountain with him, where life would be harder but he would still be able to have enough to eat.

As for the others, including Dayu, they couldn't help but become nervous.

Lao Feng was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. He knocked on Lao Tong's room, hoping to find someone to talk to.

When I arrived, I found that Old Tang was also here. I don't know when the two of them got a chess set and were playing chess.

He didn't want to say much, so he just watched the game from the side. After a while, he just reached out and wiped the chessboard, "Don't play anymore, the elephant has already crossed the river, why are you still pretending?"

Well, the two of them weren't paying attention to the chessboard at all, they were just pretending.

"Can Aqin win?" This is what Lao Tong asked. In fact, the victory or defeat of both sides has nothing to do with him. However, as long as people get along with each other, there will inevitably be closeness and distance between them.

Although Lao Tong first met Cheng Yue, he felt closer to Zhao Qin.

Although Cheng Yue appears polite on the surface, he actually has a condescending attitude in his heart. Ah Qin is different. He really gives people the feeling that he is like one of their own nephews.

No one answered his question, and the rest just sighed. After all, the stone that Aqin chose was too non-gambling.

"Have you placed your bets?" Old Tang suddenly asked.

"I bought 100 million and bet on Aqin to win." Betting on Zhao Qin to win is equivalent to buying Cheng Yue's external bet. Lao Tong sighed again.

"I also bet on Aqin and bought 50." Old Tang's idea was very simple. Aqin gave him 50 for the appraisal fee this time when he looked at the stones. Taking out this money now would be like cheering Aqin on.

"I originally wanted to buy it, but Cheng Yue's foreign market was sold out."

Tong and Tang were stunned. "So many people are optimistic about Aqin's stone?"

Old Feng shook his head. "I asked Mr. Yu. It was Ah Qin who tipped off the buyer. He bought out all the stocks. How could this kid be so gambling? If... that's more than 10 billion."

In another suite, Yu Fako and Li Gang were drinking, and Dayu also came over.

"Where is Aqin?" Li Gang asked.

"I guess he's already asleep."

"This guy is really generous. Come, let's have a drink. Let's wish Ah Qin a successful start tomorrow." Li Gang took another cup and poured a glass of wine for Dayu.

As for the side dishes, they were actually sliced ​​steak and some peanuts that came from nowhere.

The three of them clinked their glasses, seemingly happy, but in fact, each of them was a little reluctant.

The three of them are the ones who are deeply bound to Zhao Qin, not only in terms of interests, but also in terms of emotions.

……

Zhao Qin was a little confused in bed early in the morning. He had a wet dream last night. Many people appeared in the dream, but Ah Xue was not one of them.

Am I a slut at heart?

But after a moment, I felt relieved. This was definitely not considered mental infidelity. As a human being, indulgence is instinct, while restraint is cultivation. It seems that I haven't cultivated enough.

After getting up and exercising, I received a call from Yu's father while having breakfast.

"Ako told me what you said last night. It was a little late so I didn't call you. I just wanted to tell you that you are already very good. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Thank you, Uncle Yu. I'll be fine."

"Well, if you lose this time, don't go home yet. Come to the capital and we'll discuss how to win again."

Zhao Qin couldn't help laughing out loud, looking at Yu's father who seemed quite Buddhist, but was actually very strong-willed. It didn't matter if he suffered a loss, but he couldn't just act as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, but I guess I won't have to go to the capital for now."

"Hahaha, fine, fine. If you win, you can come as well. You can choose the two plots of land first. If you don't have time, let A Ke help develop them."

Zhao Qin responded, and before hanging up the phone, he suddenly said solemnly, "Thank you, Uncle Yu."

"Well, remember, don't be so formal. If you have any questions, just call me."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Li Gang and the other two came to eat breakfast one after another, yawning. As for Old Tang and the others, they came even later and have not shown up yet.

After breakfast, Zhao Qin was invited to a meeting room again.

This time the personnel were very simple. Apart from him and Cheng Yue, there were only three people from the casino. He Yun took out a document and handed it to the two of them. It was a statement from the notary public regarding the gambling.

There are five notaries this time, the casino as the middleman provides three, and Zhao Cheng and each party provides one.

Zhao Qin held the pen and looked at He Yun with interest, "Ms. He, you bought me and I lost, so you didn't tamper with the valuation, did you?"

"Mr. Zhao, compared to the 1 billion in gambling money, I think you should trust the reputation of the casino."

Zhao Qin signed with a smile, but added, "You are the people I least trust, because you will do anything for money."

He Yun blushed for the first time when she thought about the casino acting as the middleman.

The stone cutting site would not be inside the hotel. The casino staff was also very resourceful and actually found a small gymnasium.

Zhao Qin and his team went there by car. There were also many buses parked there. If anyone wanted to go to the scene, they could also take the bus.

If you don't want to go, there is also a large TV next to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, which broadcasts the stone cutting process live.

Billions of dollars in bets involve hundreds or thousands of people, so it’s no small matter for the casino to do this.

When Zhao Qin arrived, he was assigned to sit in the two rows of seats in the middle of the venue, surrounded by stepped stands.

"This is a good position." Yu Fako muttered as he sat down.

"When we start cutting, you'll know whether it's good or not." Zhao Qin smiled bitterly. The noise from cutting stone would keep people awake for a moment.
