"Photo-lithography machines?"

Director Zhang of the board looked toward Wang Liwu and scoffed with disdain, then spoke, "A mere private university like Mist City Arts and Science University thinks it can develop photo-lithography machines?"

"Old Wang, you’ve been in the semiconductor field for many years, don’t you know how difficult it is to manufacture and develop photo-lithography machines? Our Guoxing Technology Group has invested billions of yuan, and the results are not that significant."

Another board member shrugged his shoulders and said.

The most advanced technology for photo-lithography machines is in Europe, such as the ASML Group.

Xia Country also has many technology companies and institutions developing photo-lithography machines, but due to the sheer difficulty of the technology, and the technological blockades by foreigners, there hasn’t been much progress.

For example, even the top domestic company, Guoxing Technology Group, can’t fully master the 7-nanometer process technology of photo-lithography machines.

Not to mention the 5-nanometer level.

Currently, Guoxing Technology Group can barely achieve a mature process for 14-nanometer chips.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mist City Arts and Science University is a university full of potential, and Feiyue Group has always brought us the unexpected. Consider this, semiconductor materials technology based on gallium nitride, graphene technology—weren’t these all developed at Mist City Arts and Science University?"

Wang Liwu chose to believe.

Although it sounded incredibly unbelievable.

And it was precisely because it was unbelievable that the members of the board were so skeptical about Mist City Arts and Science University’s so-called photo-lithography machine research project.

"Mist City Arts and Science University indeed has certain strengths, but that doesn’t mean it can succeed in developing photo-lithography machines."

Mr. Liu shook his head and sighed.

"Old Wang, do you really believe in Mist City Arts and Science University, believe in Feiyue Group, believe in Principal Ding that much?"

Suddenly, a Director named Zhou looked toward Wang Liwu and asked.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to trust Principal Ding," Wang Liwu nodded without hesitation and said.

The directors in the meeting room immediately started discussing in low voices, and those in the video conference also appeared deep in thought.

It seemed that everyone was contemplating whether or not to accept the suggestion proposed by Wang Liwu.

Firstly, the fact that Wang Liwu had so much trust in Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University indicated there must be a reason, and Wang Liwu, as an executive of the Guoxing Technology Group, had been responsible for managing the business of the group for years with very commendable performance.

Therefore.

In the meeting room, there were still some directors who supported Wang Liwu’s ideas and suggestions.

Having received the support of some directors, Wang Liwu immediately added, "Ladies and gentlemen, let’s not discuss whether Mist City Arts and Science University’s Principal Ding can actually develop a photo-lithography machine. Let us speak about something closer at hand, in the field of semiconductor materials technology, Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group are at the forefront. In the future, we will inevitably collaborate with Feiyue Group to seek more advanced semiconductor materials technology..."

Wang Liwu began to analyze the matter seriously, with the directors looking at him, each listening attentively.

Because it seemed they were all realizing that what Wang Liwu was saying truly pertained to the interests of Guoxing Technology Group, and pertaining to the group’s interests meant that it also concerned the interests of each and every one of them.

"By helping Feiyue Group solve the problem with new energy vehicle chips this time, we’re essentially paving the way for future upgrades in semiconductor materials technology. This doesn’t even account for whether Mist City Arts and Science University will be able to research photo-lithography machine technology; for us, no matter what, it will be beneficial, won’t it?"

Wang Liwu explained the current situation thoroughly, with clear logic.

Helping Feiyue Group solve the problem with new energy vehicle chips would have significant benefits.

"Then comes the question—how do we help Feiyue Group solve the problem with new energy vehicle chips? We are already at full production capacity; there’s absolutely no way to provide new energy vehicle chips for Feiyue Group."

Mr. Liu shook his head.

"We find a way. From our previous orders, we can spare some."

One director spoke simply and directly.

That was indeed the only solution.

Since Guoxing Technology Group had no way to produce additional chips, if they wanted to solve Feiyue Group’s problem, they would have to allocate a portion from the previous orders.

"But wouldn’t that involve breach of contract issues?"

Another director asked.

That was indeed true.

After all, taking 200,000 new energy vehicle chips from other orders meant breaching parts of the contract with other client companies, which could lead to a series of problems including breach of contract compensation.

"Let’s weigh our options," Wang Liwu said calmly.

The implication was for everyone to consider whether a loss incurred from breaching an order was more significant or the future prospects of a lucrative collaborative return were more valuable.

By comparison, all the directors in the meeting room undoubtedly understood that breaching an order was nothing in the grand scheme of things.

"Although we can do this, the question arises: we have so many companies placing orders with us, who should we ask to give up these 200,000 new energy vehicle chips?"

Mr. Liu looked toward Wang Liwu and asked.

"Penguin Car, how about that?"
