[today's eighth watch has been completed! Thank you for your support! In addition, a reader reminded me that the Netherlands has officially changed its name to Netherlands, so at the beginning of this chapter, there is no Netherlands, only Netherlands.]
"Ha ha, Mr. President, you are so humorous. We came all the way from China to Netherland. If we didn't buy your lithography machine, what was it for? To experience your red light district?" boss Jia laughed.
"This..." the vice president of ASML looked a little embarrassed. At the same time, he felt that the question was really stupid, so he quickly remedied, "of course I didn't mean that. I'm just surprised at the price proposed by your company!" the vice president of ASML said an explanation that ghosts don't believe, but Jia Yapeng and others said one after another, This is really a reasonable explanation.
"Well, let me confirm again. Are you really willing to buy our lithography machine for $90 million?" the vice president asked again.
"It's absolutely true!" boss Jia nodded. "This is our account in the Swiss bank, with a deposit of US $180 million. If you don't believe it, you can verify it. We're going to buy all the two lithography machines back." Jia Yapeng said seriously.
In fact, Intel just lent this money to boss Jia.
"Cough, this is not necessary. We naturally believe it!" the bank accounts were taken out. Naturally, ASML didn't believe it.
However, the vice president of ASML still wanted to struggle and said, "but the price of $90 million is too low, and there is a big difference from our price of $150 million. Looking at our traditional friendship between Netherland and China, we can accept $140 million, and the price of $90 million is too low!!" ASML said.
"We have no way to discuss this price!" boss Jia sighed. "To be honest, there is only 180 million US dollars in this card, and this is all the money granted to us by the state. We only have so much money. I think this is the limit we can reach."
"If ASML cannot accept this price, we can only express our great regret!"
"In fact, I believe your company also knows that the 70nm lithography machine is too advanced for our Chinese electronics and semiconductor industry. In fact, we only need a 200nm lithography machine, which is also the original purpose of our delegation!"
"But I convinced the leaders that the world is progressing. A 200nm machine will be thrown into the garbage heap in a few years at most. Instead of spending a lot of money to buy a pile of garbage that is about to be eliminated, it's better to spend a lot of money to buy one or two devices that can lead the times for more than ten years!"
"I succeeded. I persuaded my leaders, but our country is poor. The foreign exchange of US $180 million is the money saved by our people from the teeth. This is the limit I can reach!"
"So, Mr. President, don't tell me about the counter-offer. This is our highest price and our only bottom line. We are poor in China!" sighed boss Jia.
"Talk! We can talk again!" said the vice president of ASML in a hurry. However, Jia Yapeng bit $90 million and didn't let go, which made the vice president of ASML have no choice, but it's also normal. After all, Intel's $80 million has been bitten for two weeks.
And China is really poor. Everyone knows that $90 million may indeed be the limit of others!
However, ASML will not simply give up. ASML immediately launched two serious negotiations with both sides at the same time. These two negotiations lasted three days. However, no matter how hard ASML tried, the Chinese side bit the price of 90 million. They said that this was really their limit.
In fact, ASML also secretly sent someone to check the account of the Swiss bank. It is true that only US $180 million is in the account. It seems that the Chinese are telling the truth and are not cheating.
On the other hand, Intel still insisted on the price of $80 million, which made ASML very angry.
It's understandable that the Chinese killed $90 million. After all, they are poor!
But you can make hundreds of billions of dollars by selling CPU every year. Why don't you want to give up the quotation of $10 million!
So, naturally, the balance began to tilt to the Chinese side, and ASML was really fed up with such endless negotiations.
Finally, on the fourth day, when Intel's representatives rose from the table and loudly announced that if ASML still didn't accept the price and still killed $120 million, they wouldn't talk about it. Now go back to the United States and let ASML's machine rot in the warehouse.
Then ASML was completely angry. You Intel killed so hard regardless of years of cooperation, so don't blame us for being ruthless.
The next day, ASML's attitude was fundamentally reversed. After a long negotiation, ASML promised to sell both lithography machines to Huaxia at the price of US $90 million, and guarantee a three-year after-sales service agreement.
The two sides soon reached a consensus, and then announced that the purchase agreement would be signed on the same day. The Huaxia party would pay a deposit of US $80 million to ASML, and ASML would be responsible for transporting the goods to Huaxia. After the on-site assembly is completed and the production is successful, the remaining US $100 million would be paid.
Everything was so smoothly achieved.
When the vice president of ASML happily announced the news to Intel, the representative of Intel smiled and said, "we'll meet again!"
Then the representatives of ASML left ASML collectively, but they turned around and appeared in Jia Yapeng's room.
"Mr. Jia, we have a pleasant cooperation!" kramir raised his glass to Jia Yapeng and smiled.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. kramir!" boss Jia also raised his glass in return.
"Now we can sign a transfer agreement and your company will transfer the ownership of the two lithography machines to Intel!" kramir narrowed his eyes and said.
"What?" boss Jia was surprised and asked, "what are you talking about? I can't understand you!"
"Mr. Jia, I said we should return our lithography machine!" kramir was also surprised. What do these Chinese mean by saying these words?
"What is your lithography machine? This is the lithography machine of our Daqian group. We bought it with money. Of course, it's ours. When did it belong to your intel group?"
"Mr. kramir, you can eat freely, but you can't talk nonsense!" boss Jia said with a smile.
"...." kramir's body trembled. He looked at the Chinese in front of him unbelievably. "Mr. Jia, don't you even intend to abide by the contract between us?"
"Abide by the contract. Of course I abide by the contract. I have the most spirit of the contract!" boss Jia smiled, then put a card in front of mill and said, "this is the $180 million bank card you gave me, and the money in it hasn't moved."
After that, boss Jia took out another card and said, "this is a bank card of 200000 US dollars. I'll change it to you now as the interest of this loan!" boss Jia handed over a bank card of 200000 US dollars to the other party, and this bank card was actually given to boss Jia by kramir.
"Well, according to the agreement, I've paid off our arrears. We're both settled!" boss Jia said, patted kramir on the shoulder and whispered, "we Chinese are not poor!!"
