However.
Earning 100 million a day is far from enough for Ye Chen.
But on Chen Yinuo's side.
Earning 20 million a day is already an incredible astronomical figure!
Twenty million a day, six or seven hundred million a month, seven or eight hundred million a year?
Isn't this a lot? Isn't this a lot?
"Old Ye, do you think earning 20 million a day is not a lot?" Chen Yinuo said with a click of his tongue.
"Since we have to look to the future, the investment in this layout is definitely not a simple number. Not to mention other things, the research and development of the lithography machine alone will cost at least 3 billion yuan a year. In addition to the lithography machine, if we want to enter the chip field, this will require huge R&D investment! It is no exaggeration to say that if we really want to develop high-end technology, the research and development of Tenglong Technology, which we have just acquired and renamed, will cost at least 400 to 500 million yuan a year, at least!" Ye Chen said seriously.
"Isn't this investment a bit too high? There are only a few domestic companies that have invested in the research and development of lithography machines. Together they don't need tens of billions of dollars a year, right?" Chen Nuo frowned and was frightened by Ye Chen's words again.
Yes, they do not need billions of dollars a year, so the R&D of domestic lithography machines cannot even reach the world's top level! The words "scientific and technological research and development" seem to be enough with talents, but in fact, in addition to talents, money must be thrown into it regardless of cost. Take a look at ASML in the Netherlands. The R&D investment in the field of lithography machines is hundreds of millions of euros a year, which is equivalent to billions of RMB. So the 30 to 50 billion I just mentioned has really entered the stage of throwing money, and I am afraid that 30 to 50 billion is not enough!
Without pausing, Ye Chen continued, "In the field of scientific and technological research and development, if you really want to talk about shortcuts, throwing money, or burning money, is often the best shortcut. Of course, there must be a way to burn money. For example, the current level of research and development of domestic lithography machines is compared with ASML. Before Tong Zhen returned, even if you burn money, you may not be able to burn out anything. After all, the gap is too big, and you can't even find a way to burn money. It's only now that Tong Zhen, who has been sleeping on straw and eating bitter food and deep inside the enemy for eight years, has returned, which gives people a little hope!
As if he was talking nonstop, Ye Chen shook his head and said seriously, "Tong Zhen's return not only brings hope, but also allows us to avoid many detours and save a lot of money, because no matter what, he has returned with some results. These results are enough to save us a lot of time and cost. Otherwise, it is not an exaggeration to say that with the current R&D level in the field of lithography in China, even if we invest 100 billion yuan a year, we may not be able to overtake others in a short period of time!"
Ye Chen still didn't stop talking. It was precisely because of this situation that so many semiconductor technology companies were facing bankruptcy. First of all, the gap in level made them see no hope of catching up. Secondly, although they cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they couldn't persist in the long-term unprofitable situation! All these factors added together, the situation formed was that if they only relied on the cooperation between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and private enterprises, without the emergence of top talents, and without the strong support of the country in terms of funds, talents, policies, etc., it would be a foolish dream to catch up with the level. Private enterprises didn't have so much money to burn, and even if they did, they didn't dare to take the risk!
When Ye Chen finished this long speech.
Chen Yinuo frowned and fell into thought.
After a short moment.
"Old Ye, if Tong Zhen had not returned to China and offered to cooperate with you, would you have considered entering the field of lithography machines?
Ye Chen thought without hesitation, "Yes! After all, it is Tong Zhen's return that ignites hope!"
"If he doesn't come back, then you won't want to think about developing things in the high-tech field?" Chen Yinuo asked again.
if?
There is no such if!
In the previous life, Tong Zhen joined Hua Wei's team soon after!
Before meeting Tong Zhen, he was thinking about having close and in-depth cooperation with Warwick Company in the future.
After all, Huawei, with its high-end lithography machines, has led the craze for cutting-edge chips in the next few decades and stood at the top of the world!
The reason why he only thought about cooperating with Warwick Company instead of recruiting Tong Zhen to build his own semiconductor empire.
It's very simple. As I said before, I don't dare to think about it. I think it's unrealistic and a pipe dream!
At this stage, he has nothing except money, not even a good reputation.
How could he compete with Warwick Company for people? How could he make Tong Zhen condescend to serve under him?
But what he never expected was that God really played a joke on him, a joke that he didn't even dare to imagine.
However, these things cannot be said.
"There is no such if, but even if he doesn't come back, I will still start planning for the future. At most I will just have to pay a higher price!" Ye Chen said.
"Are you really so sure that Tong Zhen can build the lithography machine?" Chen Yinuo asked after thinking for a while.
"My intuition tells me there's hope!"
Ye Chen laughed.
Then his face became more frivolous. "Even if it ends in failure, the worst that can happen is that Yiren Ruxue will lose a year or two of profit. But if it succeeds, what does it mean to have a domestically produced high-end lithography machine? So, weighing the cost of failure and the meaning of success, this is a choice that I don't even want to consider!"
"Old Ye, maybe my worldview is too narrow. Actually... if I really have to choose, I think as long as we can make Yiren Ruxue a success, it will be fine. After all, if we work steadily and steadily, Yiren Ruxue alone can bring us huge wealth that will not worry about our future generations. Why bother to go...

After a short moment.

Face this problem.
Ye Chen thought without hesitation, "Yes! After all, it is Tong Zhen's return that ignites hope!"
"If he doesn't come back, then you won't want to think about developing things in the high-tech field?" Chen Yinuo asked again.
