"400 million! Wujiang Group is truly wealthy and powerful. In the semiconductor field, R&D investment is not only huge, but also extremely risky. It's very possible that the final product developed will be outdated. Zhao Ye is truly a man of remarkable courage; he's admirable. If this much money were used to develop lithography machines, I imagine my country's lithography machine industry could quickly narrow the gap with the United States!"

At this point, Liu Anming paused, walked to the window, and gazed into the distance.

Not long ago, Ni Annan visited the Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory and delivered a long speech, stating that China's lithography machine industry needs to unite and concentrate its efforts on major tasks, and that Wujiang Company is willing to take the lead, providing funding to jointly develop lithography machines.

At the time, Liu Anming simply laughed it off.

Now, this is something we have to seriously consider.

The JKG-3 lithography machine developed by Shanghai Optical Machinery Plant is also quite good, and its technicians have accumulated a wealth of experience in lithography machine development.

...

With the establishment of Wujiang Microelectronics, Ni Annan's efforts to recruit talent became much more effective.

The Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Optical and Mechanical Factory, Wuhan Radio Components Factory No. 3, and others have also begun to change their attitudes and seriously consider whether to merge into Wujiang Microelectronics Company and whether it is feasible from a policy perspective.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Ni Annan planned to leverage Wujiang Microelectronics' reputation to invite domestic semiconductor research institutions to a gathering at Wujiang Company.

Just as Ni Annan arrived at work at 9 a.m., she went to Zhao Ye's office and told him about her idea.

"China Lithography Machine Industry Summit?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye thought the idea was excellent. He smiled slightly and made the decision: "No problem, this is a good idea. You are in charge of the invitations, and the company will cover the round-trip transportation and accommodation expenses for these guests!"
