Once the modification is successful, it can be publicly announced that domestically produced chips with intellectual property rights are in hand.

In fact, Xing Baohua was constantly repeating the topic of subconsciousness to Karl Schuff, urging him to quickly provide him with their most advanced chips and produce the next-level chips.

Once I can independently produce chips, I won't give a damn about you guys. We'll no longer be partners, and might even become business competitors.

The reason Intel softened its stance and released the 286 license was because they were afraid that Xing Baohua would develop it himself.

The US government hasn't said anything, and the COCOM only restricted Xing Baohua's equipment. What else could restrict China's research and development and production of semiconductors?

If we can't stop their development, we can only provide them with some things to produce, just like the saying in China, "It's better to buy than to make."

The two sides reached a stalemate and could only schedule another meeting.

After seeing Carl Schuff off, Xing Baohua instructed Secretary Dong to quickly contact the shareholders of Company A who wanted to sell their shares.

Not only did Xing Baohua arrange meetings with those shareholders, but the old aristocrats also humbled themselves to contact them.

Because each shareholder has different interests, they cannot unite to discuss matters together.

The old aristocracy used other interests and projects, and even share swaps, to prevent them from selling their shares.

The shareholders that Xing Baohua met with only listened to Xing Baohua's offer; they didn't even say they would sell. They said they would consider it, but in reality, they were just comparing it with the benefits offered by the old aristocrats.

To be honest, these shareholders invested in the first place for profit. If ACOM doesn't go public, their profits will become long-term profits.

The best approach is to take advantage of existing demand and quote a higher price to realize profits.

Xing Baohua wasn't in a hurry; his contact with shareholders was merely to facilitate contact with the two core members of ACOM.

Whether the company needs him or not is irrelevant; what Xing Baohua wants are those core underlying technologies. With these technologies, he can gain a foothold in the chip industry.

Before superconducting chips are developed, semiconductor technology still needs to be developed, and its applications are very extensive.

With these technologies in hand, why worry about being held back? Even if we are held back, it will only slow down our development and reduce our profits.

Now that we have lithography machines and wafer fabs, all we lack is technology. Once a complete chip manufacturing process system is available, why would we need 386 or 486?

Lao Tzu could simply name a chip, bypassing all those technologies.

The idea is good, but unfortunately, some of the parts and materials needed for lithography equipment need to be imported.

Those bastards at Philips are cutting off his photoresist supply. IBM said they'd help, but they didn't do anything.
