Tim Cook pondered for a long time, a full ten seconds, before he finally spoke: "Well, Wang, I would love to go back to the day when we first met and had an open and friendly conversation. I believe that this trip to China will definitely explore a mutually acceptable result. ”

"No problem, Mr. Cook, in fact, I have always been grateful that Apple did not embarrass Mr. Ge. And you don't have to worry too much, in the future you will know that I have always regarded Apple as a good partner, after all, Apple has carried out a student assistance activity in Huaxia, so far I am very satisfied! Let's talk, I have another call coming in. ”

"Well, then, I'll let you know when the secretary arranges the time. ”

"Yes, Mr. Cook!"

Wang Yufei hung up the phone casually.

Indeed, another phone came in, and when the call was made, there was an improved tone in the phone.

So many things in this world are often like this, the more you lack something, the more you can't look forward to anything.

The more there is no shortage, the more people have to line up to send it.

It's the same with money.

For example, just now, one of them hadn't decided whether to send money in the posture prescribed by Wang Yufei, and the other called again.

That's right, this time it's Samsung.

After being reserved for three days, Lu Taiwen could not continue to be reserved.

The brains of Changxiang Technology also shocked the new head of Samsung's mobile phone department.

When the two statements unveiled the hole card of Changxiang Technology and Weihua, the situation faced by Samsung is that at least in two or three years, Changxiang Technology can not need Samsung's 7nm process technology, but for Samsung, brain-computer chips are necessary to maintain market position.

So even though it was late at night, Lu Taiwen still called Wang Yufei as soon as possible.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, hello. ”

"Hello, President Lu. ”

After a brief greeting, Lu Taiwen cut straight to the point.

"Mr. Wang, we have carefully discussed the cooperation agreement you proposed in your conference room that day. I feel that there are indeed areas where we can work together, such as a partnership that trusts each other. ”

Wang Yufei smiled unconsciously, sure enough, everyone in the business field is so honest and friendly.

"Yes, President Lu, on behalf of Changxiang Technology, I very much hope to form the closest partnership with Samsung. Of course, first of all, Samsung needs to make a statement, I read ASML's announcement a few days ago, Samsung took five lithography machines from ASML, three of which are extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, and the other party has shipped, if Changxiang Technology can receive this lithography machine this month, I can take Mr. Ge to make the decision, all 7nm process brain-computer chips can be entrusted to Samsung Group within three years, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Intel are excluded from partners. ”

Lu Taiwen smiled bitterly, well, this is really an excellent business, but is foundry chips the point?

Does he care about the little money he makes from foundry chips?

"So I can take the liberty of asking, does Changxiang Technology need extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and intends to enter the chip manufacturing industry?"

Wang Yufei replied very sincerely: "No, it's just that I set up an interest club in the school, and I promised the members of the club before to build a whole chip laboratory, from the beginning of silicon refining to the final chip molding, all equipment is needed." However, basically Mr. Ge can buy other equipment directly for me, and he has already placed an order, and now he needs a lithography machine. ”

One thing to say, this is indeed true.

As for the lithography machine that was originally going to be packaged and sold directly to friends in China, Wang Yufei had already thrown the problem to Apple.

If Apple is powerful, fifteen of the world's most advanced lithography machines are enough to use the 3nm process.

After waiting for 3nm, Wang Yufei felt that the era of chip change should also come, and at that time, it was not to change the lithography machine, then it was necessary to change the chip.

For the current domestic semiconductor industry, in fact, ten state-of-the-art extreme ultraviolet lithography machines are sufficient.

"In that case, I think maybe we should meet again. ”

"If President Lu also feels that we need to meet and talk, I don't think it would be as good as this. Mr. Cook from Apple also spoke to me on the phone, and he will come to Huaxia in the near future to meet me, so let's talk directly. I'm sure you'll know how favorable the conditions I gave to Samsung are then. If you are still not satisfied and want to get more discounts, then I'm really sorry, there is no basis for cooperation between Enjoy Technology and Samsung. ”

Wang Yufei continued to say in a very honest tone.

"Oh, so it's more troublesome for Apple to get the authorization of the brain-computer chip?"

Lu Taiwen asked casually without hope, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Yufei naturally answered him.

"Yes, fifteen of ASML's latest lithography machines, and five of them are given away for free. Of course, in fact, the gift of lithography machines is not worth mentioning compared to the charity work that Apple has been insisting on doing in China. The only pity is that Apple is not good at chip manufacturing, otherwise I would actually prefer to enjoy the technology and a responsible company like Apple to form the most intimate partnership. ”

Lu Taiwen was a little dizzy, he wanted to tell Wang Yufei loudly that Apple and Intel are not good things for Silicon Valley companies, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s default is basically a trick made up by these companies under joint pressure.

But as the head of Samsung, he certainly can't say it so directly on the phone.

The mood is tangled.

Because what Wang Yufei said is likely to be true.

And Lu Taiwen believes that Tim Cook's mentality is more tangled at this time.

Apple's mobile phone is the top priority for Apple's revenue.

Eighty percent of the apps in the Apple Store are developed for Apple phones.

Once Apple's mobile phone sales decline, it will be fatal to Apple's overall revenue.

Although Samsung mobile phones covet Apple's market all the time, Lu Taiwen must admit that Samsung's dependence on the mobile phone business is far less than Apple's.

At least Samsung doesn't have to maintain an extremely closed ecosystem.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Taiwen immediately said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Wang, you have won! I can generally accept the preconditions for cooperation that you put forward before on behalf of Samsung." Of course, the detailed contract also requires face-to-face communication. ”

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, but the general framework has been set, and I will not participate in the detailed contract negotiations. Mr. Ge is responsible for these things, and I believe that we will all be satisfied in the end. In addition, I will inform Mr. Ge to refuse all cooperation requests from TSMC. This part of the business is outsourced to Samsung. ”

"So what about Hua?"

"Although Weihua is a partner of Changxiang Technology, it is also a separate company entity, and it also has the authorization to entrust the production of brain-computer chips, as for whether they choose to continue to cooperate with TSMC, it is not something that Changxiang Technology can manage. Do you understand that?"
