Qin Shi and Mr. Ren reached an agreement on the technology of wireless directional transmission of electric power, but after dinner, Mr. Ren kept Qin Shi alone.

"Xiao Qin, what do you think of the Warwick Group?"

"Very good. It is one of the best private enterprises in China." Qin Shi didn't know why Mr. Ren asked this.

"So what do you think of Warwick Group's technology?"

"That's even first-class. I heard that Warwick Group's technology is first-class not only in China, but also in the world. And your 5G technology caused such a big stir at the time. Even Mingyue's sister was trapped abroad for a long time before she could come back!" Qin Shi respected Mr. Ren of Warwick Group from the bottom of his heart.

"It seems that we have made good progress in the semiconductor field, but one thing is that we still haven't mastered the technology for chip manufacturing, so many times we are still restricted by others!"

"You're talking about lithography machines, right? I saw on the news that our domestic lithography technology is getting better and better. Hasn't it already reached the 14nm level? And your Kirin chips are said to have reached the 5nm and 3nm standards?"

"Haha, that's just news. The actual lithography machines in China are still at the 28nm level. They finally reached 22nm some time ago. 14nm is just barely achievable. Production still doesn't reach a high quality rate. While it's true that we design our own Kirin chips, the production is outsourced to Danggui Province."

"It seems that there is still a huge gap between our technology and that of the international level!"

"Being behind isn't a big deal. China has experienced this countless times in history. But how to catch up is what I want to discuss with you today."

"Catch up? Is it true that China can't catch up?"

"No, from a purely technical perspective, we're not bad. We have technologies like laser direct writing, X-ray lithography, and electron beam lithography. China has them all, but production is a challenge. A lithography machine basically encompasses all the high-end technologies in the world today. It involves light sources, mechanical processes, optical equipment, and so on. It's too difficult to manufacture a complete high-precision lithography machine!"

"The road ahead is long and arduous, but I still have confidence in China. However, Mr. Ren, you don't just want to talk to me about this, do you?" After talking about the lithography machine for a long time, Qin Shi didn't know what Mr. Ren was going to do!

"Haha, a high-end lithography machine from abroad has been dismantled due to the war. It will be packed up and disposed of along with the scrap metal in a few days. I want to get it!" Mr. Ren finally expressed his request.

"Then just buy it. Your Warwick Group isn't short of money, is it?"

"I'm certainly not short of money, but the Huawei Group can't show up this time. We can't even show any signs. If the Eagle Sauce finds out, it might trigger a new round of trade war!"

"So? You want me to come forward..."

"Yes, Team Leader Qin had already planned a world-class trade before Sakura Country dumped its nuclear wastewater. So, I can only ask you for help on this matter. Everything is negotiable, but one thing is that you must keep it a secret. You must not let anyone know that this lithography machine has come to Huawei, or even China! Do you understand what I mean?"

"Mr. Ren, I understand. It's a crime to possess a treasure. How about this? Send me the information and I'll study it first. As for whether it will succeed or not, I can't guarantee you!"

"No, Team Leader Qin, just go ahead and do it. This matter involves mediation with many departments and other countries. No one else can do it except you. I can accept any outcome."

"Okay, thank you for your trust, Mr. Ren. I will study it carefully!"

Qin Shi knew exactly why Mr. Ren wanted a potentially damaged lithography machine. Back when he was in school, no matter what game manufacturers released, within a week, you could definitely buy a pirated copy at a night market stall.

What does it mean to change tracks and overtake? It means that you take the track and I take the highway. There was nothing to refer to before, but now there is a chance, and Mr. Ren really wants to seize it.

Not only Mr. Ren, but even Qin Shi wanted to move this thing back to China, but how to do it without anyone knowing was the most important thing.

The world does not allow lithography machines to enter China, so we must not let the world down, so the Qin Shi is the one who has a headache.

Qin Shi went back and was still busy with the issues concerning power transmission technology the next day. He gathered the relevant personnel into a group and held a video conference to straighten out all the relationships. The rest was for this group of technical people to set their own goals and allocate technology.

Professionals do professional things. Qin Shi usually does not interrupt the meetings of technical personnel because he cannot understand them. If he asks some stupid questions, he will be laughed at. So Qin Shi usually slips away under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

After all, it was a collaboration between three parties. If Qin Shi ran away, Mingyue would have to stay in charge. Then there were some official procedures involved, so Humadu also stayed to help.

Seeing Qin Shi running away, Wanli also ran out.

"Boss, you can't sit still anymore! Me too. This is too long and boring!"

"...If you want to be lazy, just say you are lazy. Can you please not take me with you? It will make me look useless!" Qin Shi really wanted to kick Wanli away.

"Boss, don't worry. Your achievements are as numerous as the sea of ​​​​fish in the river. If anyone dares to slander you, I will be the first to fight him to the death!"

"Tsk, when the time comes, I'm afraid you'll be the one running the fastest!"

"Boss, that's not right. My loyalty is clear as day. Come on, I'll take you out to play for a while!"

When it comes to flattery and playing, Wanli is definitely the most proficient among these people.

"Play? Where to?"

"Hey, after I realized Taobao was unreliable, I found a fun place: the black market!"

"black market?"

"Haha, just kidding. That's what the locals call it. It's a place that sells all sorts of things. And not just from China, but from all over the world. It's so authentic!"

"Wanli, you haven't been idle all day..."

"Let's go, Boss!"

While the others were busy, Wanli took Qin Shi and called a taxi, and came to an uneven area with houses scattered around.

The ground in this area is uneven. On the same plane, there are roads, houses or tunnels. Along the places where pedestrians walk, those inconspicuous gatehouses are all open, as if they are ordinary homes, but there are people coming in and out.

"Here?"

"Boss, don't be fooled by the fact that these shops are small and don't have signboards, but as long as they are open, they are open for business."

"Okay, I'll hang out with you today. Let's go in and take a look!"

There was no order or goal, and the two of them wandered around casually.

A golden toilet used by a princess in the Middle East, the first pair of straw sandals worn by Jesus after his rebirth, bullets left over from a world war a hundred years ago, and the manuscripts of an American scientist...

There were all kinds of things, both real and fake, but just as Wanli said, many things were indeed brought back from abroad, and Qin Shi was sure that they must have been smuggled in.
