Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

As the photoresist business turmoil intensified, Lin Kaifeng returned to China in a low-key manner.

After returning to the Northern Machinery Group, Lin Kaifeng immediately went to the photoresist laboratory to carry out the second round of layout.

Until now, the secret acquisition between Lin Kaifeng and DW Chemical Group was known only to a few people.

Both the island nation’s businesses and the global media have been kept in the dark.

Everything the outside world sees is what Lin Kaifeng wants them to see.

Northern Machinery Group keeps sending people abroad to seek suppliers around the world.

A large number of domestic technicians related to photoresist have flocked to the laboratory of Northern Machinery Group.

……

"It's too late to focus on tackling this problem now!!!"

Island country, Sony Group headquarters.

Noda Jiro couldn't stop smiling.

Representatives of photoresist companies in the office all had smiles on their faces.

The photoresist technicians from Longguo gathered at the Northern Machinery Group. Even a fool could understand the purpose.

Lin Kaifeng wants to conduct independent research and development and focus on tackling key technical issues.

Develop various types of photoresists with the same quality as those in island countries.

If this research had been conducted a year ago, perhaps some breakthroughs could have been achieved.

Thinking about technical breakthroughs only at the critical moment is no less than the defenders sharpening their weapons before the enemy is right in front of them.

Before the guns could be sharpened, the enemy had already broken through the city and occupied the place.

Noda Jiro stopped laughing and said coldly: "Gentlemen, at this moment, I think of two idioms from the Dragon Kingdom."

"What idiom?"

A representative of an island company took the opportunity to speak up and cooperate.

"Don't turn back until you hit the south wall, and don't give up until you reach the Yellow River."

Jiro Noda gloated, "All the major photoresist companies in the world are ready to take a bite out of Lin Kaifeng, but Lin Kaifeng still refuses to give up and keeps trying to find a company among these Western companies that is willing to sell them photoresist at a fair price. He is simply dreaming."

"Have the people of Long country not seen what Western companies are like? Previously, some companies were willing to supply photoresist to Northern Machinery Group at twice the price. According to the news I just received, a large number of photoresists have formed an offensive and defensive alliance and took the initiative to adjust the price to five times."

"The conflict between Longguo and us is well known. Even if we put a knife to Lin Kaifeng, he will not bow to us. Western companies have become his only choice."

"Dangdangdang..."

There was a knock on the office door.

Noda Jiro said, "Come in. Look.

The secretary walked into the office and looked at the owner of a photoresist company.

"President, Mr. Matsui's assistant is waiting in the reception room on the first floor. He said he has something to report."

Upon hearing this, Matsui Yoshitomo, whose name was called, immediately walked away.

When he arrived at the reception room on the first floor, Matsui Yoshitomo saw his assistant.

The assistant bowed and said, "President, five European semiconductor companies have sent us an ultimatum together, demanding that we immediately resume their photoresist supply. Otherwise, they will terminate the contract with us and sue us for breach of contract."

Matsui Yoshitomo sighed and said, "After the matter is over, I will personally go and apologize to them. You go and tell them that I cannot provide them with photoresist at the moment."

The assistant reminded: "Boss, if we continue to stop supplying, they will really terminate the contract with us and take us to court."

Matsui Yoshitomo sighed and said, "Sony Group is not only the largest financial group in the island country, but also has the support of the chaebols behind it. What can we do? Should we go against the will of Sony Group?"

When the assistant heard the word "chaebol", he showed a helpless expression.

The reason why several major photoresist companies obey Sony Group's orders.

It's not because Sony Group is one of the largest groups in the island nation.

The root cause lies in the wealth hidden behind the group.

Before the war, it was not the government but the chaebols that were as big as giants that dominated the island nation's economy.

Chaebols, big and small, own anywhere from a dozen to dozens of companies.

After the defeat, the island nation invited a biological father for itself.

The United States is afraid that the island nation's financial tycoons will affect its economic occupation, so it is using unprecedented force to quickly break up the financial tycoon forces.

A large number of companies controlled by the island nation's chaebols will be broken up and split up.

In the ten years before occupying the island country, the United States imposed strict control on the island country's financial tycoons.

Any chaebol that dares to show its head will be severely cracked down by the United States.

As the international situation changes, the United States has gradually relaxed its control over the island nation's financial tycoons.

Several major chaebols, including the Mitsui family, began to revive.

If it is just an order from Sony Group, the major photoresist companies will definitely not obey it.

Even if they agree to cooperate with Sony Group, they will inevitably adopt a method of lip service and double-faced opposition.

It is impossible to hand over one's own interests to unrelated companies.

But there is no way.

Behind the Sony Group stands the chaebol.

In addition to the Sony Group, there are also chaebols behind several other large groups in the island country.

It's not just Sony that wants to kill Lin Kaifeng, but also the Japanese chaebol.

Worried that Lin Kaifeng might survive, he obtained enough photoresist through other means.

Jiro Noda joined forces with a large number of financial groups and demanded that photoresist companies stop all supplies.

Not only was the supply of photoresist to Northern Machinery Group cut off, but the supply of photoresist to Western companies was also stopped.

"Kaifeng, the group's chip production is now foolproof. When are we going to strike back and teach the Japanese a lesson?"

Upon learning that Lin Kaifeng had acquired the photoresist business of DW Chemical Group, Niu Yonggui couldn't wait to teach the island country a lesson.

Under the guidance of higher authorities, all domestic photoresist companies stand on the side of Northern Machinery Group.

Lin Kaifeng took out another huge sum of 50 million US dollars and acquired a large photoresist factory in the United States.

We would rather pay the penalty than fail to ensure the supply of photoresist to Northern Machinery Group.

After paying a huge price, it is time to "retaliate" against the island country's blockade.

Let them experience the feeling of shooting themselves in the foot.

Lin Kaifeng picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water, then soothed him, "Uncle Niu, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Drink this glass of water first and calm down. If we want to deal with the island country's photoresist companies, we don't have to rush."

"Do you know what tricks the island consortium has come up with to corner us?"

"What tricks?"

Niu Yonggui asked as he picked up the water cup.

"They were afraid that our group was not completely destroyed, so the island companies used a trick to kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of their own."

Lin Kaifeng sat back in his chair and said sarcastically, "For fear that we will not get enough photoresist supply from other companies, the island country will simply stop all external supply."

“We can’t get photoresist, and neither can Western companies.”

"The island nation wants to completely cut off all our channels for seeking help in this way."

"Damn it! Isn't this just hurting people?"

Niu Yonggui said hatefully.

Lin Kaifeng continued, "That's right, it's using capital to hurt others, but the photoresist companies in the island country are all small fish and shrimps, and the consortiums and chaebols behind them are the ruthless ones."
