As a listed company, Nikon actually established a joint venture with Zhang Lu.

The two sides first established a holding company in Neon Country, and then established a chip design and manufacturing company in South Africa.

The establishment of the two companies can be described as lightning-fast.

It took only two days to establish a company, but also signed an equity agreement.

The two parties did not sign any sales contract, and it is precisely because of this that no one can criticize Nikon for selling technology to the outside world.

However, after all, it is not a trivial matter, especially this is not a simple business act.

Once known by external pressure, the pressure Nikon is under is less than one-tenth of the pressure Neon Ministry of Foreign Affairs is under.

Instead of hiding it, Nikon informed the company's decisions through its own influence to the elite who have always supported and stood on the side of the company.

Although many elites in Neon Country must rely on the breath of the other side of the ocean.

But in their hearts, they still hope that the Neon Kingdom can take off as soon as possible.

Especially after signing such an agreement in the 1980s, Neon Kingdom suffered more than 30 years of pain.

From the economic takeoff at its peak to the thirty years of standing still, during this period, Neon Kingdom lost not only the economy, but the pride and glory in its bones.

With his hardworking hands, the Neon Kingdom's economy has been in a short time since it was in ruins after the war, and has reached the second place in the world.

Even in the mid-1980s, if it were not for external pressure to force Neon Kingdom to kneel on its knees, Neon Kingdom would have likely become the world's number one on the economic level.

Although Neon Country has a small land area and no natural resources, with the advent of the semiconductor era, Neon Country has absolute confidence, with the emerging industry of semiconductors, leading the country to become the world's number one at the economic level.

If it depends on the automobile industry, this industry that is strongly dependent on minerals and oil.

It will inevitably be affected by all links around the world. Fluctuations in mineral prices and fluctuations in oil prices will affect the automotive industry.

Even if the semiconductor industry relies on minerals, the semiconductor industry can increase the maximum amount of added value under the premise of using a small amount of minerals.

If a small chip is calculated based on the mineral pricing method, the chip is only worth a little gold plating.

In addition to that layer of crystal plating, there is a little bit of copper on the pins.

In addition to these two precious metals, the core material of semiconductor chips is silicon wafers made of sand.

However, it is these worthless sand that is once made into chips.

Intellectual property rights give this chip far more value than gold of the same weight.

What is even more commendable is that gold cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to mine gold.

However, these chips produced independently by humans can be produced on a large scale independently and controllable basis.

If chips are compared to resources in the semiconductor world, then chips are gold mines that humans can control independently.

It occupies fewer natural resources, but its profit is terrible.

It is this emerging industry that makes Neon Country feel that even if the country is small, they may still be ranked first in the world.

In the mid-1990s, almost 80% of the electronic watches in the world came from Neon Country.

As for the small LCD display screen on the electronic watch, Neon Kingdom monopolized the industry for a long time.

They never thought that the world-famous Swiss watches would defeat themselves, and that they would not defeat themselves by other manufacturing powers that became famous by precision machinery.

It turned out to take a different approach, using various semiconductor electronic components to completely replace the watch movement, which is known as the most sophisticated in the history of human machinery.

For a long time, electronic watches in Neon Country have become popular

worldwide.

Although it is just a small watch, the output value it brings to Neon Kingdom is very huge.

From watches to handheld game consoles to all kinds of home appliances, various electronic companies in Neon Country have successfully reached the top three in the world in all the products that can be used for electricity.

Whether it is the living room, whether it is the kitchen, as long as there are household appliances at home.

Electronic companies in Neon Country are all arrogant around the world.

However, that was already the glory of more than thirty years ago.

Nowadays, many electronic companies in Neon Country have been eliminated by the times.

Sharp TV, once known as the world's number one, also sold its own LCD panel production factory.

Hitachi, the world's top three personal computer provider, has now known that there is such a brand in the field of personal computers.

Similar examples are spread over any product.

With the advent of the Internet era, when all devices began to build Internet plus mode, the former behemoths of Neon Kingdom wanted to turn around and chase, but found that their steps were so staggering.

It is precisely because of its incomparable glory and visible discovery that an island country with a very small land area can also become the world's number one.

Now, Nikon has made a breakthrough in the high-end chip manufacturing industry. As the elite of Neon Country, although he knows that he will definitely encounter various pressures from the other side of the ocean and Europe.

However, they still chose to support Nikon's business operation with a hint of dissatisfaction and a hint of tolerance.

Especially through the news in the past few days, it was found that the flower planter has made a technological breakthrough of 28 nanometers. If he cannot support Nikon with all his strength at this time.

I'm afraid that once the flower planter realizes his own self-sufficiency.

Then Neon Kingdom will never have the chance to make its mark in the semiconductor field.

Neon Kingdom is no longer as brave as it used to be in the semiconductor field, and the market is getting narrower and narrower, so it is no longer able to support its brand in unlimited scientific research.

Although semiconductors are very profitable, a small chip can be more expensive than gold of the same weight.

However, the scientific research funds poured on it are also terrifying.

The existing market in Neon Country cannot afford to support a scientific research company that needs to spend billions or even tens of billions of dollars every year.

Only huge markets like the other side of the ocean, as well as the entire Europe, or flower growers, can achieve self-sufficiency.

Even if you do not expand commercially to other regions around the world, you can still meet the company's continuous investment in scientific research funds.

For these elites, they can certainly see clearly the changes that are taking place in front of them.

If the flower growers make up their minds to fully support their own industries, Nikon's 28-nanometer production line will not find a second buyer around the world.

If this business cannot be completed, it cannot continuously output a 28-nanometer production line.

Nikon can no longer continue to spend money to continuously develop more advanced production processes.

After all, it is far behind Samsung and TSMC, and Nikon cannot even touch the most profitable area in the semiconductor field.

It has finally made technological breakthroughs in areas that have not been eliminated. If it cannot be replaced with real real money, Nikon will not be able to support such a R&D team.

There is only a huge market like the Chuanghua Family, and only their perseverance and determination. Even if they continue to lose money, Chuanghua Family will invest tens of billions of dollars every year to continue to research and catch up.

Because, flower growers have no second way to go besides self-investment.

Neon Country is different, they can easily buy any equipment they want from the world.

Once a large number of local Neon Country enterprises give up supporting their semiconductor industry and purchase any electronic components and chips from abroad, Neon Country's semiconductor industry chain will collapse instantly.

Once brought supreme glory to the neon country

In the eyes of those elites, the semiconductor industry is the only stage where a small country can compete with the world without relying on natural resources.

In any case, Neon Kingdom does not want to see the semiconductor industry eventually become a competitive stage at both ends of the Pacific.

The other side of the ocean can mobilize the global industrial chain to compete with the flower planters.

With its strong willpower and determination, the flower planter is chasing forward step by step.

This kind of pursuit happens to be supported by a strong economy.

The current economic scale of Neon Country is no longer able to research scientifically at all costs like a flower planter.

The ultimate result is that Europe has become a manufacturer of accessories on the other side of the ocean.

By then a few years, the world's top scientific research technology will only be mastered at both ends of the Pacific Ocean.

Once the high-tech industry is concentrated, it will be monopolized.

Any region in the world will become a leek to be slaughtered.

As an elite class that controls the country, especially based on age, this group of elite classes happened to be in high school and college more than 30 years ago.

On the day they were admitted to university and on the day they graduated from university, they fantasized about turning Neon Country into the world's number one.

However, just when they were admitted to university and just when they had just graduated from university and entered their jobs.

Neon Kingdom has fallen from the peak of history step by step.

And this downward movement lasted for a full thirty years.

If Nikon loses this commercial order today, perhaps Nikon will lose hundreds of millions of profits in a short period of time.

But in the long run, this is not Nikon's loss, it is likely to be the last glory of Neon Kingdom in the semiconductor field.

Even if they are criticized by supreme anger on the other side of the ocean, the elites hope to do something for their country, rather than always being directed like a dog to roar, shake their tails, bow, and shake hands.

In the eyes of these elites, they have to surrender on the surface, but they may not regard their master as human beings in their bones.

It’s just that they are very weak now and have no ability to resist.
