Chapter 516

ASML is very happy now because kramir, a representative of Intel, took the initiative to negotiate with them.

After the price of both parties reached an impasse, kramir had to report to the company for a long time. However, ASML was also very clear that this was just a contest between the other party and himself to see who could not carry it first.

Those who take the lead in proposing to restart price negotiations will naturally occupy a disadvantage in the negotiations.

ASML was overjoyed to hear that Intel's representative offered to negotiate. It felt that his strategy had worked. ASML had felt the pressure of those Chinese people. They were afraid that the lithography machine would be bought by the Chinese people, so they had to take the initiative to negotiate with ASML. In this way, ASML would naturally have an advantage in price.

This made all of ASML very excited, so the vice president of ASML came out again to negotiate with Intel as the company's representative.

In fact, from the number and scale of this negotiation, we can see how perfunctory ASML was before boss Jia, because this time ASML negotiated with Intel with a 12 member negotiating team, which is a world different from the two people who negotiated with boss Jia before.

From this point, we can see that the ASML negotiation is serious this time.

"Representative kramir, this is the ninth time we have started negotiations. I think your company should show your sincerity!" the vice president of ASML said very strongly at the beginning of the negotiations.

"Oh! What is our sincerity?" kramir asked puzzled.

"Sincerity in price, of course!" said the vice president of ASML. "Accept our offer of 120 million US dollars. This is our lowest price, and there is no room for further decline!"

"In that case, I can only tell you that $80 million is the highest price that Intel can accept, and we also have no room to rise!" kramir said very strongly.

Kramir's tough attitude makes ASML feel a little confused. Isn't it Intel's initiative to resume the negotiations this time? Why can they be so tough?

Well, it seems that the other party is a dead duck, and now he doesn't accept his fate, so the vice president of ASML said faintly, "if this is really the highest price your company can accept, I can only say with great regret that this price negotiation may only be completely over, and we have nothing to talk about!"

"Oh? Did your company find a new buyer and be willing to accept the price of 120 million?" kramir asked with a smile.

"This guy is asking knowingly!" the vice president of ASML scolded in his heart, but still said, "yes, now there are new companies negotiating with us. We had a very pleasant talk. Basically, we have accepted an offer of US $120 million!"

"Just because we have always had a good cooperative relationship with Intel, Intel has been the largest customer of ASML since 1984. We don't want to damage the friendship between our two families, so even if the other party has talked with us, I'm willing to give your company a chance!" said the vice president of ASML very sincerely.

"Mr. President should be talking about those people in China!" cranell asked with a smile.

"Hum! Your intelligence is quite well informed!" the vice president of ASML snorted. He was not surprised by kramir's words. The other party must have known about the Chinese people, otherwise they would not take the initiative to negotiate the price.

"Since there are other people interested in lithography, why don't you ask them to come and talk together! See how much Chinese people are willing to pay!" kramir said with a smile.

"This is not appropriate!" ASML's president's face sank. "Mr. clavier, there has never been a reason for representatives of both sides to gather together at a table to negotiate in the negotiation field!"

"Then I can think that this Huaxia company is just a trust from ASML. It wants us Intel to be fooled and take the initiative to raise the price, right?" kramir said with narrowed eyes.

"Mr. kramir, you can't talk nonsense. Do you have any evidence!" the people of ASML were flustered. They didn't think that kramir was really bad. They took all their thoughts out.

"By the way, your company actually uses such means to force Intel to comply. It seems that few people in the world are really willing to buy ASML lithography machines, otherwise you won't find a group of Chinese people to be entrusted!" kramir continued with a smile, while ASML people have a black face like a black charcoal.

"Well, in fact, at this meeting, I just want to tell you that $80 million is the bottom line of Intel. We will never accept an offer higher than this price!"

"Well, after what I said, please think about it!" kramir said, bowed to each other, and then walked out proudly.

"Asshole!" when all the hungry people left, the vice president of ASML threw the file on the table and shouted.

"It's all your good ideas to say that you can use Chinese people to intimidate Intel. Now it's good. We've been seen through by others, and our faces have been lost!" the vice president of ASML yelled at his assistants.

Although these assistants were disgusted, they wanted to take advantage of the ideas of the Chinese people. It was clearly put forward by the vice president himself. Now they have become the pot of their assistants.

However, these assistants obviously didn't dare to refute the vice president. They could only listen to the vice president scolding himself. Until an assistant rashly broke in and directly reported to the vice president, "president, those Chinese people are coming. They asked when they can really start price negotiations. Their visa time is running out, and they are about to return home!"

"Get out, let them get out, let them get back home!" the vice president of ASML couldn't help yelling. Just when the assistant nodded in fear and was ready to go back to recover his life, the vice president suddenly calmed down and muttered in his heart "No, that Intel guy is probably just testing me. If I drive away those Chinese people now, wouldn't I really fall into his plan!"

The vice president immediately changed his words and ordered his men to respectfully invite the Chinese people to the conference room.

However, this time ASML is not interested in delaying time, so as to use these Chinese people to put pressure on Intel. The vice president asked bluntly, "I don't know our offer. Is the delegation willing to accept it?"

That's what the vice president asked. At the same time, he was ready for the Chinese people to give an ultra-low price.

However, to the surprise of ASML vice president, Mr. Jia, the leader of the Chinese delegation, smiled and said, "the price of $150 million is still too expensive. We think $90 million is a suitable price!"

"What! 90 million dollars!" the vice president of ASML was stunned. These Chinese people actually offered a price of 90 million dollars.

"You're really here to buy a lithography machine!!" recalling his life later, the vice president of ASML thought that this question was probably the stupidest question he had ever asked in his life.
