"Boss Zhang, can you arrange a meeting between me and Lin Benan?"
"No way, you really want to poach Lin Benan?"
"Didn't you say he's a technical expert? Of course, I want to poach him."
"The point is, he may not be willing."
Although he stayed in the United States, Chen Yu attached great importance to the photolithography machine.
Yesterday, the dean called Chen Yu.
What a pity.
The photolithography machine companies did not need financing for the time being.
Even if they wanted financing, they would not open it to domestic companies.
This also gave Chen Yu a headache.
Since he could not invest in these companies, he could only do it himself.
Lin Benan was a technical expert that he valued the most.
Now that the photolithography machine technology was not so difficult to surpass, if he took Lin Benan, it was possible to catch up with them.
Of course, on the other side.
If he took Lin Benan, it would also eliminate the idea of some photolithography machine companies entering the wet process.
As long as they did not enter the wet process, it would give Huanyu Technologies a chance to catch up.
"Zhang Zhongmou values Lin Benan very much. In addition, TSMC also treats Lin Benan well. "
"I know, but I want to talk to him."
"Okay, I'll arrange for you to go to the United States. You don't have to come back."
"Okay."
In order not to attract attention, it was best to stay in the United States.
A few days later, Chen Yu met Lin Benan.
"Mr. Lin, I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty to meet you."
"In fact, I also want to meet the legendary Boss Chen."
"I'm not the legendary Boss. I'm actually the same as others. But I think Mr. Lin's research may affect the entire chip industry. "
"You're interested in my wet process theory."
"Of course, and I think if I were Zhang Zhongmou, I would immediately develop this technology. But it seems that TSMC does not have this idea. "
Although Chen Yu was not Zhang Zhongmou, he could understand the situation in the industry just by looking at the trend.
TSMC was a commercial company. It was impossible for them to take such a big risk.
Of course, TSMC was the same as other companies.
"It seems that Boss Chen wants to poach me."
Lin Benan asked with a smile.
"You could say that."
Chen Yu didn't hide it. "I'm very interested in the chip. At the same time, I'm also very interested in the lithography machine."
"I don't think it's necessary. You guys just need to do the OEM."
"OEM is just working for someone else. It's not a good idea. Only by mastering the core technology will I not be controlled by you. What do you think?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to leave TSMC."
Lin Beng shook his head and refused.
"Mr. Lin, I think that even if you stay at TSMC, with the current situation, your wet process will not be promoted. In fact, it was impossible for him to study it. Of course, I know we're still weak, but I can assure you that as long as you join Huanyu Technologies, I'll definitely give you the majority of our resources. "
Unfortunately, Lin Benbo still shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but the photolithography machine is not something I can make on my own. Even if your company invites me, we may not be able to catch up with other lithography machine companies. Also, your company is under a lot of pressure. As far as I know, although your company's Tianwen chip has taken some market share, other chip companies will soon introduce their latest chips. "
"Mr. Lin, do you think we can't deal with these chip companies?"
"I'm looking forward to it."
Lin Benan didn't nod or shake his head.
Chen Yu was relatively indifferent about this.
Of course, he knew it was impossible to poach Lin Benan today.
If a technology expert like Lin Benan could be poached with just a few words, then other companies would go bankrupt.
But since Lin Benan came, it meant there was a chance.
Also, the wet lithography process was invented by Lin Benan.
As a technology expert, he definitely wanted his process to be promoted to the world.
This was very tempting.
It was like countless scientists wanting to win the Nobel Prize.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, then let's talk about it after I compete with other chip companies."
Although the poaching failed, the two of them had a good chat afterward.
Chen Yu asked Lin Benan a lot of questions about the lithography machine.
On the other side, Lin Benan was also very interested in Chen Yu.
"Boss Chen, in fact, before this, I found it hard to believe that you can enter the field of chips."
"We didn't think about it before."
"However, you have to be careful. I took a look at your Tianwen chip. Although it's creative, it's very likely that other chip manufacturers will copy it. "
"Thank you."
Chen Yu nodded.
Of course, he knew this.
However, Chen Yu was also prepared for other manufacturers to copy it.
"By the way, I think you really don't need to make a lithography machine. Now that the economy is global, no company can produce everything. "
"Mr. Lin, I agree with you. To be honest, if the world economy doesn't have any problems, of course we don't want to make one. But what if one day, a company announces that they won't sell the lithography machine to us? "
"That's unlikely. Everyone wants to make money. These companies produce lithography machines to make money."
"If that's the case, then why did Centre International buy a lithography machine made in 1998?"
It was 2005 now.
A 1998 technology was sold in 2005. This was two generations behind TSMC.
Lin Benan didn't know what to say.
Of course, he understood this.
This was the West's ban on Chinese equipment and technology.
You can't buy high-end equipment just because you have money.
But Lin Benan also thought that even so, Huanyu Technologies didn't have to make a lithography machine.
Because even if Huanyu Technologies wanted to make one, they might not be able to.
Moreover, the lithography machine they made would be worse than the one they bought.
In addition, they would spend an unimaginable amount of money.
Although Huanyu Technologies made money, they spent it on the semiconductor industry. No matter how rich a company was, they couldn't afford it.
Take Microsoft for example.
Microsoft was so rich. Did they enter the semiconductor industry?
They didn't.
It was not that they didn't want to, but they didn't have the money.
Of course, if you had the money, everything would be easy.
But the problem was, there was always a limit to your money.
"Mr. Lin, that's all for today. Although I didn't manage to invite Mr. Lin, I think we might work together in the future. "
"Boss Chen, I advise you to give up on this idea. In terms of probability, there's not much chance."
"Since it's probability, doesn't that mean there's still a chance?"
"Haha, Boss Chen, if there's really a chance, I think we'll have a good cooperation."
"I think so too."
Although he didn't manage to recruit Lin Benan, he had achieved his goal today.
After parting ways with Lin Ben, Chen Yu made a call to He Tingbo in China.
"Tingbo, how's our Tianwen 2?"
"Boss Chen, we can hold a press conference at any time."
"That's good."
Chen Yu nodded. "Motorola will release their latest chip next week. We'll release it on the same day as them."
"No problem, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
He Tingbo said excitedly.
