Chapter 176

Hearing the investment boss say this, Schmidt was moved and immediately full of motivation.

No, it should be said that the whole company was full of energy and enthusiasm.

Because this group of people knew their mission, they were the last hope to defeat the Orientals.

In the middle of the night, the company building was often brightly lit, so that the Helan Labor Bureau came to investigate human rights issues.

When he heard that ASML was fighting for the honor of the country, he admired it and told the engineers to pay attention to rest.

Meetings and overtime became a common thing.

Because they often did not go home, the wives of the engineers also had opinions.

They often called the on-duty staff of ASML to ask if their husbands were still working overtime.

The staff could only smile bitterly to comfort these wives:

"Madam, your husband, at least today is indeed working overtime."

Hearing that ASML was fighting for honor, the Helan officials also gave great support, not only issuing various subsidies.

They also promised that if ASML could produce a lithography machine comparable to PAS 5500, they would exempt ASML from taxes for 5 years!

The world's attention was on this once unknown Helan small factory.

In this spotlight, ASML did not disappoint.

One month later, they announced that they had also developed a new-era lithography machine, named New Hope 001, and officially launched pre-sales.

Intel, TSMC and other big companies have long been looking forward to it, and immediately placed sky-high orders.

Although both Peninsula and ASML have 70nm lithography machines, they tacitly did not engage in price wars, and stuck to the price of 18 to 25 million US dollars per unit.

This made the major semiconductor chip manufacturers speechless.

Unfortunately, both sides were very restrained, and the price war that was popular did not happen.

At this time, Lin Benjian, who was still working as the R&D manager at the American giant IBM.

Unexpectedly received an invitation letter from Peninsula Technology.

"Qiu Mingxiang, Chairman of Peninsula Technology?"

Lin Benjian was surprised:

"How did he know me? He actually offered me such a high salary."

The eight-digit annual salary on the invitation letter was indeed very tempting.

At this time, his heart was undoubtedly very entangled.

IBM treated him well and handed over the entire R&D department to him. Moreover, his boss just promised him to send him to the branch as general manager.

This is a rare opportunity to enter a management position.

If he went to Peninsula Technology, he could only be an engineer under the general consultant Byers. There is no doubt that the general manager position of the IBM branch is more attractive.

"Gangcheng, where my parents once lived, I will go and see it again if I have the chance."

Qiu Mingxiang looked at Lin Benjian's reply in astonishment.

"He actually rejected our invitation."

Wang Lei did not blame Lao Qiu. Honesty, integrity, and professional ethics are Lin Benjian's life creed. If it were so easy to poach, he would not be Lin Benjian.

"Don't cut off contact with him. Send him a greeting letter every New Year and other festivals, and invite him to work in the Peninsula when the time is right."

Seeing that Wang Lei attached so much importance to Lin Benjian, Qiu Mingxiang asked curiously:

"Boss, I have never seen you attach so much importance to a person. Lin Benjian has repeatedly won the Outstanding Invention Award from IBM. He is indeed talented, but is it worth our effort to win him over?"

"Haha, this person is an expert in the field of micro-imaging. He may be of great use in the future. Don't take it lightly."

...

Xcaret Jungle in Cancun, Mexico.

The Mangshan people sitting on the flying eagle looked at the primeval forest at their feet boredly.

Wang Xiuquan, who has excellent eyesight, immediately discovered traces of human activities in the distance.

"It should be not far from Rafael's villa."

Sure enough, the FBI saw the outline of a building complex in the telescope.

Everyone showed excitement.

This proves that the information given by the informant is correct, and Rafael is very likely to hide here.

"He's a big fish, brothers, keep your eyes open, don't let him run away again."

Old man Li Qing was a little uneasy, he looked at the most clever Wang Xiuquan:

"Apprentice, the master's stomach hurts a little, maybe he has a stomachache."

Wang Xiuquan immediately heard his subtext and reported to the FBI action team leader:

"Sir, the old man has a stomachache, maybe he's going to have diarrhea!"

Hearing this, the entire team of FBI covered their noses and shrank back.

The action team leader frowned in disgust:

"Land, you all get off the plane."

The big fool who was driven off the plane was still a little confused, and was pulled back by Wang Xiuquan.

"Don't curse, big fool, we're going in on foot, remember to keep the formation."

Old man Li looked at the jungle and said with satisfaction:"It's still more solid in this jungle. I always feel uneasy when I'm floating in the air."

The jungle did give the people in Mang Village a sense of security. This was the terrain they were more familiar with. They were like fish in water and rushed to the villa complex at a high speed.

After a while, they touched the outermost layer of warning.

After killing a few sentries, Goudan climbed up the sentry tower like a monkey.

Then his face changed.

He called Wang Xiuquan, who didn't know what was going on.

After seeing what Goudan was holding, the knowledgeable Li Qing also changed his face:

"This is a Stinger missile, a portable anti-aircraft missile from the Americans!"

Li Qing's face was dark and scary. The big drug lord in Mexico was actually equipped with such a cruel thing. He was worthy of being the one who beat the Mexican regular army.

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion was heard not far away.

Looking towards the place where the sound came from, a flying eagle was hit by a stinger and broke into pieces in mid-air.

The wreckage brought a group of soldiers to the ground.

Their communicators simultaneously issued warnings, cries for help, and tragic cries.

"Oh my God, the captain's leg is broken, bones..."

Then there was another round of fierce gunfire, and the communicator suddenly stopped crying.

"The second squad was wiped out, the second squad was wiped out!"

"I knew I shouldn't have brought those burdens, they must have killed the second squad."

Wang Xiuquan coughed and said on the public channel:

"Sir, the second squad was not killed by us. After we separated from the second squad, we killed a few sentries and found that they were equipped with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles."

The commander's old face blushed when he heard this, and he had to use a roar to cover up his guilty conscience:

"Fack, all squads pay attention, they are equipped with Stingers, all fight back!"

In front of his own life, capturing the drug lord alive became less important, and several Eagles launched a crazy bombing of the villa complex on the ground.

Gilbert, who was deep underground, was already high from smoking and was still complaining about the fireworks and firecrackers outside.

His mind was clear, and he muttered while holding the phone:

"Greenspan, my father wants you to impose all-round sanctions on Peninsula Technology, restricting their purchase of raw materials and export of lithography machines.

I will come forward to mediate and force Wang Lei to sell Peninsula to me at a low price, and then..."
