Where are these two microscopes made?
"Several countries use it. By the way, don't you have a Nikon camera? I think they make those too," the physics expert said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Baohua picked up the phone and called the Nikon office in Japan. The call was answered by the young woman who was responsible for serving tea to Xing Baohua.
Xing Baohua told the other party the names of the two microscopes and asked them to check if Nikon manufactured them. If so, he would arrange for them to be sent to the Nikon laboratory.
Believe it or not, Nikon actually uses it; it's called NIKON AFM.
Xing Baohua sighed, realizing he knew too little about Nikon. He had previously thought their microscopes were used in medical and biological fields, but little did he know they produced even more advanced technology.
He thought a phone call would be enough, but two hours later, the woman who served him tea called Xing Baohua back, saying that she couldn't adjust either of the two microscopes and that she needed the approval of the entire board of directors to write another application form for the Export Restriction Committee.
Only after approval can he be transferred to the MINICON laboratory.
"I'm not an exporter, I was just transferred to the Minicon Laboratory, I didn't leave Japanese territory?" Xing Baohua said angrily.
"Boss, that's what they told me, but I don't know the specifics."
Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua didn't ask who said it, but sighed inwardly, realizing that he had become a little lax in his control over Nikon.
Xing Baohua was not in charge of Nikon for a long time, and the Japanese, with their insubordinate nature, turned on him faster than anyone else.
The refusal to carry out Xing Baohua's orders suggests that there is a rebellion within Nikon, which may be related to Xing Baohua's recent troubles in Hong Kong.
But in any case, some of Nikon's mid-to-high-level personnel will need to be replaced.
Administrative measures are slow to take effect, and you have to rack your brains to set up a scheme to kick those people out, which also takes a long time. The best way is to use construction vehicles or things like a gas leak at home.
Knowing that Nikon has what Xing Baohua wants makes things much easier. We just need to find an opportunity to get it. We don't have time to clean up that junk now; we'll go deal with it later.
Xing Baohua doesn't know what's wrong with her lately, everything is going wrong. Should she go and pray?
Actually, it's just a thought.
Unable to participate in the theoretical qualitative analysis of quantum mechanics, Xing Baohua began preparing materials and reports for Shanghai wafer fabs, inviting those people over, and continuing to make empty promises.
Two days later, Xing Baohua visited the old man, bringing some wine and other gifts.
Upon entering, I saw a large family gathered around the sofa chatting. Su Ya's mother quickly introduced Xing Baohua to everyone, without directly revealing his identity, only saying that he was Su Ya's boyfriend.
Xing Baohua also saw Hou Qian, and there was a middle-aged man next to Hou Qian. He wondered why Sun Chenzhou had also come.
Through Su Ya's mother's introduction, Hou Qian's family members also got to know each other. Xing Baohua suddenly realized that he should take the opportunity to bring Sun Chenzhou over. This was to meet the parents, which changed the nature of the meeting.
Upon seeing Xing Baohua, Sun Chenzhou quickly stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Xing."
"Hello, it's been a while since I've seen you. How's your work going?" Xing Baohua asked.
“The town isn’t big. As you know, software takes time to run. We’ll be looking for bugs here and patching things there,” Sun Chenzhou said with a smile.
Su Ya's mother interjected, "You two can't even finish talking about work at the office, and you keep talking about it after get off work. Nobody should talk about work today."
The suggestion is good, but if we don't talk about work, men won't have much to talk about, and we can't exactly talk about entertainment gossip.
When Xing Baohua saw him, his father-in-law nodded and waved to him, indicating that he wanted to talk to him alone.
Xing Baohua nodded politely to Sun Chenzhou and left first.
Su Ya's mother glared at her husband, implying that she had just said she wouldn't talk about work, and this was clearly undermining him.
The father-in-law went out first, followed by Xing Baohua. The two strolled around the government compound. After walking for a while, the father-in-law looked back and, seeing no one, said, "The organization talked to me and said that Hou Qian has some problems."
Xing Baohua nodded but did not immediately express his opinion.
"I don't feel comfortable saying anything about your aunt's child. I wanted to tell her, but I was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep it a secret and would be worried sick. What are your plans?" the father-in-law asked.
"As for the bait, the relevant departments have already persuaded her to cooperate fully and catch a bigger fish." Xing Baohua said as he walked, taking out a cigarette and offering one to his father-in-law.
After lighting the fire, he continued, "There's a big fish hiding above Hou Qian in the company, under external command. They use the HK forum to transmit messages."
"Your electronic communications shouldn't be that confidential!" the father-in-law said, taking a drag of his cigarette and exhaling.
"Not many, but I've had a lot of contact with them. It's like the Starlink thing Motorola did. I regret it now. If I had persisted back then, I might have been able to use it. Now I can only do it secretly. I'm starting to figure it out. Hou Qian might not be someone sent by DaMei. Maybe she wants to know what kind of research and development the company is doing?"
The father-in-law glanced at Xing Baohua and asked, "Aren't many of your research and development findings publicly available?"
“No, I used unconventional means to get some things from IBM. Maybe they wanted to see if I was involved in those kinds of documents?” Xing Baohua said.
"Is it important?"
Xing Baohua nodded and said, "It's very important. If we succeed, we won't just be catching up with their technology, but we'll be leaping ahead of them by decades or even more."
"Hehe, you're getting more and more absurd. Technology is accumulated over time; you can't just jump over it all at once. Do you think IBM products are so easy to get? Or, they might give you something to pique your interest, then mislead you and make you focus your efforts on it. After you've spent your time and resources, you'll eventually find that it doesn't work?"
