Chapter 686: Countdown to Ames' bankruptcy, ushering in a new era of lithography machines! No drinking policy!
The next day was the first day of September.
Chen Yansen attended the relocation ceremony of Experimental Primary School in the morning, and participated in the relocation ceremony of Chunshen No. 2 Middle School and Chunshen No. 3 Middle School in the afternoon.
From then on, there were three "Yensen" libraries and three "Yensen" teaching buildings in Chunshen's primary and secondary schools.
In addition, outstanding students who perform well in the midterm and final exams can receive another scholarship.
In the evening, Chen Yansen returned to Luzhou by car.
When he arrived at Villa No. 6 of Bihu Yunxi, it was exactly half past seven.
As soon as I walked into the garden, I heard footsteps coming from inside the house, and Ye Qiuping trotted out to greet them.
She had a light green apron tied around her chest and was holding a pair of cotton slippers in her hands.
"Mmm, Lao Chen gave it to you."
Chen Yansen took out a 'red brick' and threw it into Master Ye's arms.
Ye Qiuping caught it subconsciously.
She touched the thick red envelope, was surprised at first, then the corners of her mouth raised, and a bright smile appeared between her eyebrows.
"Boss, what's the meaning of this red envelope?"
Ye Qiuping smiled, her heartbeat quickened, and she asked very happily.
"I forgot to ask."
Chen Yansen looked at Ye Qiuping with a half-smile and a playful expression.
"oh."
Ye Qiuping put away the red envelope, half-knelt down, changed Chen Yansen's slippers, and then asked softly, "I made some sugar water. Do you want me to serve you a bowl first?"
"Leave it there, I've already eaten."
Chen Yansen waved his hand to refuse, then lay down on the sofa.
He casually felt around in the crack of the sofa and pulled out a piece of underwear made of very little fabric. He held it up to his eyes and looked at it for a moment.
He had never seen Ye Qiuping wearing this style before, it seemed to be a new one.
Two slender golden chains connected the upper and lower parts, and they felt cold in my hands.
"You bought new clothes? Go change into them and let me see them."
Chen Yansen became interested and threw the clothes to Ye Qiuping.
The other side.
After settling his family down, Wang Jingtao drove to Luzhou and bought a connecting flight to Asbeba.
He checked online and found that conflicts and clashes between the Omoro Armed Front, the Tirege Armed Front and the Central Division regular army were frequent.
In just two weeks, thousands of people died.
Running to Abyssinia now would be tantamount to seeking death.
But he knew better than anyone that he had no way out.
Only by gaining Chen Yansen's trust and letting him truly see his own value can his life turn around.
Damn Cheng Jiale, just wait for me!
After the plane took off, Wang Jingtao looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and said angrily.
At the same time, the first episode of "Produce 101" concluded successfully.
Orange Interactive Entertainment leveraged the promotional advantages of multiple platforms such as Penguin Video, Douyin, Kuaishou and Toutiao to successfully transform eleven youthful girls into a new popular girl group.
The popularity of the program has been rising, with cumulative views exceeding 4.8 billion.
On the two major short video platforms, Douyin and Kuaishou, the popularity soared to 18 billion, and various stage clips and behind-the-scenes footage went viral on the entire Internet.
Fang Xiang had worked so hard to promote this girl group, so naturally he wouldn't waste this momentum.
Immediately afterwards, they were arranged to prepare records, shoot short plays and movies, and plan a national tour, fully promoting commercialization and generating revenue for the company.
After finishing all these, Fang Xiang picked out three members from the group who were beautiful and had good figures, and sent their video introductions to Chen Yansen.
"Fang Xiang, what are you doing?"
When Chen Yansen clicked on it, what caught his eyes were a series of bikini photo clips. He immediately frowned and sent a message to question it.
"Boss, I mean, I want you to help check it."
Fang Xiang hurriedly explained.
"I don't care what other companies do, but I don't want to see any messy things at Orange Interactive Entertainment, like asking artists to accompany drinking or using them to trade for project resources. Do you understand?"
Chen Yansen's reply was unquestionable.
How could Chen Yansen not understand Fang Xiang's little thoughts?
It’s not that Boss Chen suddenly changed his ways, but that he has never done anything stupid or unspoken.
In his previous life, when he was running an MCN agency and engaging in live streaming e-commerce, he gave the status of "girlfriend" to every female anchor and celebrity he dated.
Although the duration of this relationship varies, some last only one night, some a week, and the longest is no more than a year, he has never forced his female anchors to attend cocktail parties, nor has he ever exchanged them for resources.
"Boss, I was wrong." After hearing this, Fang Xiang immediately adjusted his attitude, fearing that he would upset the other party again.
After all, the position of CEO of Orange Interactive Entertainment is too tempting.
Basic salary and options are secondary. What really attracts him is the industry status behind this position and the hidden wealth that comes with it.
He had previously taken the initiative to send those videos to Chen Yansen, seemingly wanting to let the boss "choose a concubine" and please the boss, but in fact he was planning to consolidate his own territory.
As long as you can please your boss, your position in the company will be more stable.
But who could have thought that all the careful thoughts would go to waste and the flattery would instead hit the horse's leg hard.
"Only this time." Chen Yansen warned concisely.
The entertainment industry can provide many jobs. Artists are just those who stand in front of the stage. There are also dozens of behind-the-scenes jobs such as screenwriters, makeup artists, costume designers, photographers, lighting engineers, directors, etc.
Once a scale effect is formed, it may be possible to contribute millions of humanitarian funds to him in a year.
If Orange Interactive Entertainment is exposed in the future for the scandal of "forcing artists to drink in exchange for resources", it will not only be embarrassing, but will also seriously affect subsequent recruitment work.
After all, not everyone in the circle wants to make money by doing nothing. There are always some people who want to make a living by standing up and relying on their own abilities.
Chen Yansen never thought about changing the entire industry, but he could not tolerate his "power bank" being bullied.
After Fang Xiang hung up the phone, he immediately called Yao Lingya, the director of the Artist Management Department, and with a serious expression and tone, he confirmed the boss's will.
Not drinking with me?
Not exchanging artists for resources?
So this is still the entertainment industry?
When Yao Lingya heard this, she couldn't believe her ears.
But then she thought again, the boss did have such ability.
IP scripts are backed by two major platforms, Orange Literature and Penguin Literature, and publicity and promotion can be linked to multiple channels such as Douyin, Kuaishou, Toutiao and Xiaohongshu, so there is no shortage of financial support or traffic exposure.
In addition, the Kuaiying APP controls nearly 70% of online movie ticket sales. Who in the circle would not give it some face?
After figuring this out, Yao Lingya immediately suppressed her surprise. She nodded repeatedly, patting her chest and promising, "Okay, Mr. Fang! I'll call a meeting with the artist management team right away. I'll make sure the rules are implemented and ensure this kind of thing never happens at Orange Interactive Entertainment!"
That afternoon, all artists under Orange Interactive Entertainment received notices one after another: the company will no longer arrange for them to attend any informal cocktail parties in the future.
As soon as the news spread, the artists present understood it immediately.
After all, they were all in the same circle, so they immediately figured out the company's intentions.
In the lounge, people gathered in groups of three or four to chat, their words full of emotion.
"I heard it was Brother Sen who gave the order himself! People online have said he's a rare boss you only see once in a thousand years. I think that's an understatement. It's no exaggeration to say he's a rare boss you only see once in a thousand years!"
A female artist said with a smile, holding her mobile phone.
The person next to him immediately chimed in, "That's right! He's so nice to the couriers and delivery drivers, so he's even less harsh on us artists. Honestly, who wants to go to those crappy cocktail parties every day? I'm not born a cheapskate, isn't it better to make a living based on my own abilities?"
Some people murmured worriedly, "But if this happens, we might not be able to take on some directors' projects, right?"
As soon as these words fell, someone laughed and retorted, "What are you thinking? With the strength of our company, which director would dare to offend us?"
In a short time, Orange Interactive Entertainment’s new policy quickly spread throughout the entire Internet.
Some people like to drink with others, while others don't.
Although Orange Interactive Entertainment is only a newcomer in the entertainment industry, it has attracted the attention of many people because it is backed by Senlian Capital.
At the same time, Orange Interactive Entertainment announced the establishment of an artist training class to specifically provide high-quality talents for the company's short dramas, TV series, and film projects, ensuring the supply of talent from the source.
You know, the reason why short dramas have become so popular nowadays is that they rely on novel narrative methods and light-hearted and funny plots, which accurately capture the fragmented entertainment needs of current users.
However, users' aesthetic tastes and demands will continue to grow, and their requirements for content quality will become higher and higher, so it is an inevitable trend for short dramas to move from "traffic-oriented" to "high-quality".

…
September 3, Shanghai, Xingyuan Technology Branch.
The material and software suppliers of the Dawn A220 EUV lithography machine gathered together, and everyone received a copy of the wafer transmission and control system interface standard of the lithography machine.
In other words, domestic EUV lithography machines need to move from beta prototypes to formal product stages.
Therefore, the core goal of the beta prototype is to verify technical feasibility and system compatibility, and there may be partial omissions or simplifications in functions.
For example, during research and development, the beta prototype only implemented basic exposure functions and did not integrate modules such as automated calibration and multi-wafer continuous processing required for mass production. It was only used to test whether key technical indicators such as light source stability and lens accuracy met the standards.
In order to meet the needs of industrial mass production, only by launching formal products and adjusting functions such as automatic loading and unloading, real-time defect detection, and adaptive adjustment of process parameters can we have high-stability continuous production capabilities.
Liang Jinsong and Lin Nan presided over the meeting, which also represented that under the leadership of Xingyuan Technology, China has established the first EUV lithography machine supply chain.
The next morning, Seiko held a press conference at the Shanghai Convention Center, announcing the existence of the "Dawn A220" EUV lithography machine for the first time.
Netizens were shocked and left messages in the live broadcast room: "I woke up and found that I had been working for 20 years?"
"If I remember correctly, Star Technology just mastered the mass production process of the 28nm process, and now it has developed a 7nm EUV lithography machine?"
"When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on! Could this be some kind of subsidy-sucking junk? Didn't someone just grind off the logo on a chip and claim it was their own product?"
"If someone else made a lithography machine, I definitely wouldn't believe it! But Brother Sen? I believe it 100%!"
Afterwards, Liang Jinsong generously announced the current sales volume of Dawn A220 at the press conference: a total of 6 units of the product have been sold, with revenue of 420 million US dollars.
Two of them were sold to Huaxin International, and the other four were delivered to the fab factories in Xiaorizi, Korea and North America respectively.
Liang Jinsong did not disclose which companies these overseas factories belong to.
But netizens also understand that the Dawn A220 is likely to have some quality, otherwise overseas chip manufacturing plants would never take the initiative to spend money to purchase it.
Of course, some netizens simply didn't believe it and left mocking comments: "Could it be that he set up a company overseas? Producing and selling it himself?"
"There are too many scams. Let the bullets fly for a while!"
In fact, it is understandable that netizens have such a reaction.
The main reason is that before this, domestic public opinion over-mythologized the difficulty of manufacturing lithography machines, so that everyone reached a consensus: China is certainly capable of producing the world's first-tier EUV lithography machines, but this process will most likely take 10, 20, or even 30 years.
Under such general expectations, it is understandable that netizens have doubts
It can be unpopular, but it can’t be weird!
In the live broadcast room of the press conference, two opposing waves of doubt and support rolled and intertwined in the barrage area.
Liang Jinsong stood on the stage, his eyes sweeping across the audience. Looking at a group of people with questioning eyes, he did not rush to refute, but raised his hand to signal the staff to play a video.
In the video, a Dawn A220 lithography machine is operating in a cleanroom. A robotic arm precisely feeds wafers into the chamber, and a laser beam shines through multiple layers of lenses onto the silicon wafer.
The screen displays the exposure accuracy data in real time: the 14-nanometer line width error is controlled within 0.1 nanometers, and the yield of 100 consecutive wafers is stable at 90.4%.
At this time, Liang Jinsong's voice spread in all directions through the microphone: "I know everyone has questions.
Ten years ago, we had to rely on imports even for our 60-nanometer DUV lithography machines; a year ago, when Star Source Technology was first established, no one in the industry believed that we could improve the yield rate of 28-nanometer chips.
But data never lies: 60% of the current orders for Tiangong A100T processors are produced by Star Source Technology, and its product yield rate is almost the same as that of TSMC.
In addition, the annual exchange meeting of the International Semiconductor Industry Association will be held in Shanghai on the 18th of this month, and Xingyuan Technology will also hold a procurement negotiation meeting at the same time.
As for the performance of the A220, I don't want to give too much verbal explanation. Ultimately, our actual sales will prove everything!
Oh shit!
This is the unanimous voice of the reporters in the audience!
Liang Jinsong is so tough!
Moreover, they were shocked by the news that the International Semiconductor Industry Association would choose Shanghai as the venue for the exchange meeting.
You should know that before this, the association's annual exchange meeting has been held in Phoenix, the Lighthouse Country, and has never changed.
Now that the venue has been changed to Shanghai for the first time, it is undoubtedly a first in history.
But they don’t know that this seemingly routine industry exchange meeting is actually a “profit-sharing conference” in the semiconductor field.
In the past, in such occasions, it was always European and American countries that had the final say and set the rules, while China could only listen passively.
Now, China has got the "microphone" and has transformed from a bystander to one of the core participants who can truly participate in "dividing the cake".
After Liang Jinsong sat down, Hu Ruihui, Wang Xiangchao, Zhang Yanjie and others took the stage one by one to share the technical parameters of Dawn A220 with reporters and viewers in the live broadcast room.
Watching a group of bigwigs from the China Science and Technology Association take turns to take the stage, netizens had to believe that Xingyuan Technology has actually opened a new era of domestically produced lithography machines!
