"According to reports, U.S. Steel's earnings have declined significantly this year, and they urgently need this inflow of funds to stabilize their stock prices."
"What's more, there are very few companies that use aluminum alloy technology and equipment, and most of them are small items."
"We are all very curious. What are you doing with the complete set of aluminum alloy technology and smelting equipment?"
Bao Junyi smiled and said, "You will know later."
"Hmph! Just forget it if you don't want to tell me." He turned around and left.
Bao Junyi looked at Qiu Shuzhen's back as she left and thought that Qiu Shuzhen was quite cute when she was angry.
In the 1970s, aluminum alloy materials were mostly used in households and some electronic components and parts.
However, with the booming development in the 1970s, the flexibility and strength of aluminum alloy materials continued to improve in the 1980s, and they were continuously used in aircraft wings, car bodies, and electronic equipment casings.
Aluminum alloy itself is light in weight, high in strength, and has tensile strength and fatigue resistance. In addition, aluminum alloy is constantly improving and adjusting the alloy ratio, and is used in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive industry, construction, electronics industry, etc.
......
The next day.
US Steel Corporation signed a contract with Miracle Group.
In addition, the final payment of US$2.8 billion for the Pengcheng large steel plant and US$230 million for the purchase of aluminum alloy technology and equipment were paid to the US Steel Company.
Everyone who attended the contract signing ceremony was very happy and applauded enthusiastically.
However, in the corner, a group of white people were looking at Jia Yuezheng with gloomy faces as he was laughing and talking happily on the stage.
This group of people were the steel company negotiation team that had been cheated by Jia Yuezheng. They had just been bailed out by their superiors and hated Jia Yuezheng in their hearts.
This is so unbelievable. How can you do such a stupid thing in a negotiation?
At this time, Bao Junyi didn't know what they were thinking.
I am now in the R&D center, viewing the first batch of test data with Jiang Wenlong.
"Old Jiang, this batch of test data is good. Can we put it into large-scale production?"
"It should be no problem if it comes with birth certificate."
"but..."
Jiang Wenlong hesitated and said, "However, due to the chip production process, it may not be able to keep up with the factory's progress."
"What's the reason?"
"Guaranteed, since our chip production is basically manual, many are produced purely by hand."
"For example, the soldering of the cap tube is done manually under a microscope, and then the transistor is soldered to the printed circuit board (PCB) and then mechanically debugged."
"Moreover, it is necessary to manually operate the machine to straighten the single crystal silicon, then have the silicon wafer polished by the machine, pass it through the conveyor belt, and then manually perform the photolithography processing."
"Current chip production simply cannot keep up with the production progress of factory equipment, unless we introduce advanced lithography machines from GCA or PerkinElmer in the United States."
Bao Junyi asked: "Are there any other national companies?"
If the lithography machine is from a US company, and Hong Kong is in the COCOM embargo zone, it would be difficult to get the equipment.
"Yes, in terms of global lithography equipment, GCA and Platinum-Elmer are taking turns leading the market."
Bao Junyi slapped his head and almost forgot that technology today is not what it was in the past.
In the 1970s, most high-tech companies were basically located in the United States, and especially companies such as GCA in lithography machines, IBM and Intel in semiconductors, which were several orders of magnitude ahead of the country at the time.
Bao Junyi said helplessly: "Old Jiang, if we go to the United States to buy advanced lithography machines, it is basically impossible to sell them. Now we can only increase the manpower and expand the scale of production."
"As for the lithography machine, the Miracle R&D Center must also establish a project to prevent the US from holding it back."
Jiang Wenlong said excitedly: "Guaranteed students, what about the funding?"
"Lao Jiang, you... you... don't worry, we will allocate additional funds for independent research and development next year."
"That's great! I've actually wanted to do this for a long time. When I was at the US Research Institute, I burned through funds too quickly developing lithography machines and couldn't afford it, so I had to stop it."
"Old Jiang, don't get too excited too soon. You're the dean now, and you need to manage thousands of people in the R&D center. It's time to select and train assistants."
"Bao Sheng, what you said is true. I will go back and select some assistants so that I can have more time to study."
Bao Junyi smiled bitterly and said, "You should also take care of your health. You are not young anymore."
“Yes, yes…”
"By the way, Lao Jiang, if we expand the scale, how much will the monthly chip production be?"
Jiang Wenlong thought for a moment before saying, "The current scale is 10,000 to 20,000 chips per month. If we expand the scale and hire a large number of people, the commission can be increased to 30,000 to 40,000 chips."
"The main reason is that the batch of lithography machines we purchased from Germany a few years ago were too slow. They were considered advanced at the time, but now they are basically obsolete. No matter how much we optimize them, the production capacity will not increase much."
If we stockpile chips now, delay the release, and wait until we have stockpiled 120,000 chips before arranging for the factory to produce home game consoles, there should be no problem.
Moreover, it was necessary to seize enough market share before the Atari game console came out.
In October 1977, Atari launched the Atari 2600 game console and the Atari 2600 cartridge system, which allowed players to play a variety of games by replacing different game cartridges. Moreover, each game cartridge was sold for $25.
In the 1970s, home game consoles were also a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars. As a result, game manufacturers rushed into the market to make money, promotional advertisements were everywhere, and the market became increasingly popular.
