At this point, Zhao Ye couldn't help but stop. He couldn't help but recall his past life. In the sweltering summer heat, he went to the factory for an inspection and saw the workers in the workshop sweating profusely, mechanically repeating the same action for hours.

"That's fine. But the problem is, what will we do if one day they stop selling us chips? Have any of you here thought about that?"

"Instead of being controlled by others and threatened by them, we should start now and strive to catch up."

“I know that many research institutes are not doing well right now. Why don’t we start merging them into Wujiang Microelectronics Company now? If anyone in the institute is worried about staffing issues, we can discuss it with the higher-ups so that researchers can work at Wujiang Microelectronics Company while still retaining their original staffing.”

Zhao Ye sincerely expressed his attitude to everyone.

Many research institutions are struggling to make ends meet, so they were very interested in Zhao Ye's proposal.

“Zhao Ye is right. We should indeed unite. Cooperation benefits both sides, while division harms both. China’s semiconductor industry is fragmented and lacks communication. Many institutions are researching the same things, which is a waste of scientific research resources.”

"my country has many scientific research institutions, and we should leverage our advantage of concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks!"

Wujiang Microelectronics also invited leaders from the Ministry of Electronics Industry to attend the China Lithography Machine Summit.

The leader nodded secretly, agreeing with Zhao Ye's point of view. Considering the current state of China's semiconductor industry, it had reached a point where change was imperative; otherwise, it was truly possible for other countries to hold them back in the future...

Therefore, the leadership decided to facilitate the merger!

Soon, the matter reached the ears of the emperor.

After multiple rounds of meetings and discussions, lasting for a month, the higher authorities finally approved the plan to merge several lithography machine research institutions into Wujiang Microelectronics.

At the same time, a state-led, large-scale merger and integration plan for the semiconductor industry chain was launched, and it must be said that Wujiang Group, like a catfish, played a huge role...

P.S.: I burned my hand on a pot lid while making a late-night snack, so there will only be two updates today.
