However, most people did not expect that with the continuous rise of Chinese manufacturing and the increasing prosperity of the economy, China would become the world's second largest economy.
This was followed by continuous improvements in various infrastructures, software, and hardware, while related scientific research was also in full swing.
Various research institutions have placed their research centers or some of their research projects in China.
What Chen Dong is doing now is essentially making advance arrangements.
Moreover, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
Chen Dong felt that he should establish relevant research institutions in more places.
In this way, the corresponding industries under one's name can be protected, and the research content can be utilized more effectively.
Lin Benjian never expected that his life and work would change so drastically.
Suddenly, Lin Benma had several more places to work and strong financial support as a backing, which would surely allow him to carry out his research work better in the future.
The three of them lingered there for quite a while.
We also went to the beach to enjoy the scenery.
Finally, we drove to the countryside and found a farmhouse restaurant where we could enjoy the beautiful scenery and eat authentic local food.
It must be said that the taste of farm-style food is different from that of food in city restaurants; it is too bland.
Although it's slightly less delicious, it wins because the ingredients are exceptionally fresh, all picked and prepared on the spot, giving it a unique flavor.
The next day, Chen Dong was preparing to take Lin Benjian to the mainland to inspect the semiconductor research institute there, as well as other institutions related to lithography machine research projects built on that basis.
News from the mainland indicated that the first domestically produced car was about to roll off the production line, and the semiconductor research institute had also achieved results.
"Hehe, it seems I have no choice but to go," Chen Dong said to Lin Benjian with a smile.
Hayashi Honma simply shook his head helplessly: "I was going anyway."
Chen Dong knew all too well that a project like building a lithography machine was not something he could accomplish alone; it required the collaborative efforts of many top talents.
Lin Benjian went to the mainland to see the research and development of lithography machines and to see many old friends.
Since the mainland has suspended research on lithography machines, it's hard to say how many like-minded and highly skilled researchers I'll be able to find on this trip.
Therefore, he was somewhat skeptical of Chen Dong's suggestion that he collaborate with researchers from the mainland. Even if he didn't look down on them, he was still a little apprehensive.
Chen Dong didn't quite understand his thoughts, but judging from his expression, which didn't seem particularly excited or thrilled, he understood his attitude towards the matter.
However, since Chen Dong is now the boss, Lin Benjian would naturally not refuse such an arrangement.
At the same time, he also knew that it was always good to have more help in his research.
Even when it's just myself, I need a lot of help to do things.
Researchers in mainland China may be less advanced in cutting-edge fields, but they should be able to handle basic and supportive work without any problems.
So that day, they packed their things and set off.
They completed their entry procedures at Luohu and boarded a car bound for Pengcheng High-Tech Industrial Park.
Although the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) imposed a high-tech embargo on the mainland at this time, and on the surface, Chen Dong and his team could not have any contact with the mainland, what actually happened behind the scenes was entirely up to Chen Dong himself.
However, Chen Dong still needs his own channels to transport some high-tech products in through external channels, and Hong Kong, as an important transit channel, is an indispensable aspect.
At the same time, Chen Dong's identity had already been that of a Hong Kong resident.
Strictly speaking, in 1993, Chen Dong's actions were not restricted by the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) and he had a great deal of freedom.
Pengcheng High-Tech Industrial Park can be considered Chen Dong's main base in mainland China.
The headquarters of the Longteng Group, which he secretly established, is also located here!
Chen Dong led Lin Benjian on a tour of Longteng Electronics, Longteng Semiconductor, and other industries related to lithography machine research and development, allowing him to understand their background and technological accumulation.
They received a warm welcome.
Hearing that a world-class professor had arrived, in addition to the researchers from the lithography machine project, the other researchers also greeted Lin Benjian, hoping to become acquainted with him.
In a sense, once you reach a certain level, much of the knowledge is actually interconnected.
Lin Benjian was a little overwhelmed; the people here were just too warm and welcoming.
But what he didn't know was that these people's thirst for knowledge far exceeded his expectations.
After a conversation, Lin Benjian discovered that although the people here had some differences in their thinking and understanding compared to those outside, and their work practices were also different, their focus and hard-working spirit were far superior to those of researchers abroad.
To some extent, the people here give him a sense of security and mission, letting him know that his research work is not a solo effort, but is supported by a powerful force.
Here, Lin Benjian saw various semiconductor-related materials and equipment that Chen Dong had obtained from Japan.
He never expected that there would be so much advanced equipment in the inland areas, which were still very backward in many aspects.
It's clear that these devices were all imported from abroad.
He was highly skeptical of Chen Dong's role in this.
