Kramir never thought about what to do if the Chinese people really paid 180 million, because in kramir's view, the Chinese people can't pay this huge amount of money. Even if they can, they can't buy such an advanced lithography machine.
In fact, the whole Intel thought so, so after receiving kramir's plan, Intel's headquarters agreed to kramir's plan after careful consideration.
Who could have imagined that the Chinese really planned to buy a lithography machine. They really took out 180 million US dollars. This is the most absurd thing in the world, but this absurd thing did happen.
Don't think all this is very incredible. In fact, in that era, Chinese people were poor in the Western mindset. It's normal for Intel to do such a thing.
[PS: this time, there is a realistic basis. In history, Intel has done something to sell things cheaply in the name of others, but it was cheated by others.]
At this moment, kramir didn't know how to report this matter to the headquarters. If Intel headquarters knew that both lithographies had been bought by Chinese people for $90 million, Intel headquarters would be angry. I'm afraid he would be swept out of Intel and become a laughing stock in the industry.
"No, I must change all this!" kramir clenched his fist, and then found Jia Yapeng next to him again. "Mr. Jia, I was wrong this time. I shouldn't underestimate the property of your Chinese people. I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
At this moment, kramir's heart was dripping blood.
Because in kramir's view, it is clear that the Chinese people have cheated themselves, but now they have to admit to the Chinese people against their will that this is a mistake of governance and take the initiative to apologize to the Chinese people, which is a great humiliation.
But even so, kramir's face was full of smiles and didn't dare to show a trace of anger.
"All right, don't install it, and don't apologize for such insincerity!" boss Jia smiled, patted kramir on the shoulder and said, "I know what you mean, but it's impossible for us to sell you both equipment!"
"We can offer a higher price!" kramir said with a ferocious expression. "100 million US dollars. I'm willing to buy those two lithographies at the price of 100 million US dollars. Are you satisfied now? You can make a net profit of 20 million US dollars!!"
"No..." Jia Yapeng shook his head.
"That's 120 million dollars. This is the limit I can reach. It's really impossible to have more!" kramir's whole face was going crazy.
"Oh! What a good price! I can't help it!" boss Jia smiled. "But Mr. kramir, even if you raise the price to $150 million, I won't sell you two lithographies, because we need our own lithography machine in China!"
"Don't deceive people too much, you..." kramir was really about to explode. Just as he was preparing to be angry, Ni Guangnan, who watched the whole play on the other side, suddenly smiled and said, "young man, don't talk so hard. You should taste some words carefully, or you will make a big mistake!"
Ni Guangnan's words stunned kramir. What good details can a Chinese say?
However, kramir instinctively began to aftertaste what boss Jia just said, and then he understood it.
He found that what Jia Yapeng said just now is that two are absolutely impossible to sell, but Huaxia must have a lithography machine, which means that Jia Yapeng only wants one, and the remaining one can still be given to him.
This meal gives kramir a feeling of rain and falling. Now kramir can't expect two lithographies, and one lithography machine is actually enough, because for Intel, the sales of the really top CPU is not large, and one lithography machine is enough to meet the demand in the next six months or so.
After six months, ASML will be able to produce more 70nm lithography machines, and it's not too late to buy the second one.
So kramir immediately said, "Mr. Jia, we are willing to buy a lithography machine from you for us $120 million!"
"Haha, what's the need? Let's sign the contract quickly!" boss Jia laughed and said a word that relieved kramir.
However, kramir's face is still black. He originally planned to buy a device with only $90 million. Unexpectedly, he finally spent $120 million and bought only one device. Kramir doesn't know how he will be punished by the company when he goes back.
It may not be easy to dismiss, but you'll be kicked to the end.

"Xiao Jia, shall we buy two lithography machines back?" Ni Guangnan said with a smile after kramir left.
"What's the use of going back for two days? You dismantle one and dismantle two. Besides, we originally planned to buy only one. Buying two is a waste of money!" boss Jia smiled.
"More importantly, I'm afraid this will seriously offend Intel. I still have some industries in the United States, so there's no need to make things so rigid!"
"If you don't sell it to them, the mass production speed of Intel's high-end CPU will be greatly reduced!" Ni Guangnan sighed. "In this way, our market can be impacted later."
"It's no use. If it takes four or five years, I'm sure I won't sell these lithography machines to Intel, but ASML can produce a new batch of lithography machines in six months at most. At that time, Intel will buy them at the first time. Six months will have no meaning for Yu Huaxia." boss Jia said faintly, and Ni Guangnan nodded.
Indeed, it's no good to force the two lithographies back. It's better to give one to Intel. Such a result is good for everyone.
But boss Jia and Ni Guangnan don't know that their ideas are still too beautiful.
Two days later, Jia Yapeng and Ni Guangnan returned to China.
Half a month later, all the export formalities of the lithography machine were completed. The two lithography machines of amsl boarded two different cargo ships and were sent to China and the United States respectively.
But kramir stayed in Netherland. After he watched the two cargo ships set sail separately, he immediately dialed a phone and said to the people on the phone, "Hello, is it the FBI of the United States? I'm the procurement Minister of Intel group. I have an important information to tell you!"
