Yang Hong Group has no opinion on the fact that this negotiation is not led by Yang Jian, because the person who leads is Yang Jian's son-in-law, Xu Mang, a professor at Fuda, in the minds of these people, Xu Mang is a manifestation of omnipotence.

And

Coupled with his international prestige, perhaps the price can come down.

"I've heard that you've raised the price again, it was $2.4 billion before, and it's $3 billion now. Xu Mang asked curiously, "Why did you add it to three billion dollars?" I hope you will give me a reasonable reason. ”

"Because three billion dollars is what keeps us from losing money. Kawashima said seriously: "After all, we are taking risks to trade with you, most of which are risk fees, if we can trade three billion this time, then we will still provide materials in the future." ”

Xu Mang nodded his head and asked with a smile: "If you can't supply three billion, you won't supply it in the future, right?"

"Uh..."

"It's a possibility. Kawashima said: "We JSR will judge whether we will continue to supply according to the current international situation, and as international trade frictions intensify, the intensity of the new round of sanctions will increase, you should know what I mean." ”

Xu Mang didn't speak, sat quietly on the chair, looked at the current Kawashima, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Actually, it's because we don't have the core technology and the ability to manufacture photoresist materials, so we increase the price indiscriminately, right?"

“...”

“...”

“...”

This time it was JSR's turn not to speak, in the face of Xu Mang's clarification of the matter, many people were quite helpless, some things can't be put on the surface, even if everyone knows about this matter, but Professor Xu did the opposite, which is obviously not good for him.

Seeing that the matter was clarified, Kawashima simply didn't hide it, and generously admitted: "Yes... Huaguo does not have the ability to manufacture high-end photoresist materials, and our JSR is one of the few companies that has mastered this technology, so... You know what I mean. ”

"Understood!"

"This is an era where whoever masters the technology has the right to speak, and I know this better than you. Xu Mang said with a smile: "I just came back from Oxfordshire, England, you should have seen the news and know STM, right?"

STM，

Scanning tunneling microscopy.

Kawashima naturally knows that this matter seems to be quite a big trouble, and the STM incident is that Professor Xu alone made Huaguo a world-class level in the STM field, and Huaguo was still second-rate before.

But

What does this have to do with this negotiation?

Could it be that Professor Xu has mastered the technology of photoresist materials?

Unlikely!

"The cost of this batch of materials is probably less than a billion US dollars, right?" Xu Mang asked curiously: "Last year, the same quantity was sold for one billion US dollars." ”

"Hmm!"

"Last year, the international environment was relatively good, and there was no ban, but this year, because of the ban in the United States, the price was increased to 3 billion. Kawashima was a little impatient, he felt that there was no progress in this negotiation, and the other side seemed to be a little vexatious.

"Oh..."

"So be it. ”

"Originally, I couldn't suffer a loss, but this time I suffered a little loss, how about selling us for 500 million dollars?" Xu Mang seemed to have made a major decision, and said with a painful face: "You have earned blood..."

“？？？”

“？？？”

“？？？”

Most of the JSR delegations present understand Chinese, but when they heard Xu Mang's words just now, everyone fell into confusion, thinking that they had heard it wrong, but not only JSR was confused, but everyone in Yang Hong Group was also in the same situation.

Kawashima asked with a bewildered expression, "Xu... Mr. Xu, please repeat again, I didn't hear you clearly just now. ”

"Five hundred million!"

"Fifty million sold to us. Xu Mang repeated it and said seriously: "Do you understand?"

"This..."

"You're not kidding, are you?" Kawashima looked at Xu Mang in horror: "This... This is a very serious occasion, and I hope you don't make such boring jokes. ”

"Jokes?"

"Am I a joker?" Xu Mang said solemnly, "Originally, I didn't plan to pay." ”

I...

Still not going to pay?

Don't give money and want to get this batch of goods?

Must be crazy!

At this point,

Wang Tao of Yang Hong Group was a little caught off guard, he didn't expect things to develop towards this situation at all, it seems to be getting worse and worse, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as three billion dollars later.

really

Kawashima had a dark face and said to Xu Mang: "Mr. Xu... Don't go too far, if you continue to be so vexatious, the price of this transaction is $4 billion. ”

Hearing Kawashima's words, Yang Hong Group, except for Yang Jian, was helpless for a while, this was completely done by himself!

What is this?

The negotiations seem to be falling apart as they go.

However, in the face of Kawashima's threat, Xu Mang did not react, silently staring at the obscene man in front of him, from the analysis of physiognomy, this guy is an immoral person, but he is also unlucky.

I actually met myself with a lower moral bottom line.

"I hope you'll remember what you said later. ”

Words fall,

Xu Mang took out a tablet from his bag, and then clicked on a PPT file.

"This is a new photoresist material that I have developed, which not only exceeds the world average in terms of performance, but also is about half cheaper than you in terms of manufacturing price. Xu Mang smiled and said, "You seem to be only at the F2 level, while we have already reached the EUV level." ”

"That's right..."

"The EUV-level technology fortress is even higher, and you can't eat it through in twenty years, even after twenty years... You have mastered EUV, as long as I am here, I will always be one level ahead of you!" Xu Mang said: "How is it?

moment

There was silence in the conference hall, and everyone looked at Xu Mang in horror and at the tablet in his hand.

How can it be...

How is this possible?

They actually mastered the core technology of photoresist materials?

The people in the JSR delegation looked at the tablet in Xu Mang's hand and didn't know what to do for a while.

"No... No way!"

"How can you master such a technique!" Kawashima said incredulously, "It must be you who can be mysterious, I don't believe it..."

However, compared with the skeptical JSR delegation, everyone in the Yang Hong Group was full of confidence at this time, and they all believed what their uncle said, because his name was Xu Mang, and for this reason alone, they could trust unconditionally.

Syllable!

Xu Mang directly put the finished photoresist material on the table, which is the sample he got from the testing department, and it is the sample that is qualified after the test.

"This is a sample that passes the test. ”

"I've given it to you... I'll give it to you to study, but I can't study anything anyway, after all, only I know the core technology. Xu Mang said with a smile.

Seeing the glass bottle in front of him, the hearts of everyone in JSR were cool.

Finished

It's all over!

Kawashima already believed Xu Mang's words and believed that he had successfully mastered a more advanced technology than JSR.

Looking up at Xu Mang again, he felt that the young man in front of him was simply terrifying... How did this young man break through the technical barriers? The lead was more than ten years, and suddenly this lead was surpassed.

"Ahem!"

"I'm going to go to the toilet. ”

"Oh..."

"Go to the toilet and talk to your JSR headquarters. Xu Mang knew what Kawashima was going to do, and at this time he said shyly: "Let me remind you first, don't hold yourself as the one who monopolizes technology, now... We are!"

“...”

moment

Kawashima came to the toilet and made a phone call to the JSR headquarters.

"President Kuroki!"

"Out... Something has happened, and Yang Hong Group has mastered more advanced photoresist material technology than ours. Kawashima said.

Suddenly,

There was dead silence on the other end of the line.

"What?!"

"You... What did you just say?" JSR Chairman Kuroki asked in horror, "Yang Hong Group has mastered the technology of photoresist materials, and is it more advanced than us?"

"Yes!"

"I forgot to tell you that Mr. Yang's son-in-law is Xu Mang, the internationally renowned scientist. Kawashima said solemnly, "It was he who successfully broke through the technical fortress of photoresist materials, and then developed EUV-grade photoresist materials that are more advanced than ours." ”

"This..."

"This..."

"The great scientist Xu Mang... Unexpectedly... It turned out to be Mr. Yang's son-in-law?" After knowing the truth, Kuroki was a little suspicious of life.

What's going on?

What a coincidence, right?

"Kawashima-kun?"

"Have you seen the photoresist material developed by Xu Mang?" asked Kuroki seriously.

"He had already given me a bottle, but he still told me to take it back and study it. Kawashima smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xu said... No matter how much we study, we can't figure out the doorway inside, and he will always stay ahead of the curve, and we can't even think of surpassing him in our lives. ”

Hearing Kawashima's words,

Kuroki almost didn't go crazy, the photoresist material is one of JSR's money-making projects, accounting for almost a quarter of the profits, if you can't lead at the technical level, you can't imagine what it will be like in the future.

Xu Mang...

Xu Mang...

Just finished scourging Oxfordshire, and turned around to plague us JSR.

President Kuroki was a little confused, not knowing what to do next, thinking for a long time, and said: "The higher the technology, the higher the production cost, I think our products still have a market, and even if they succeed in developing photoresist materials, they can't produce them on a large scale at the moment." ”

"Five billion US dollars, slaughter Yang Hong Group hard!" Kuroki said angrily.

“...”

"Mr. Kuroki is sorry... Mr. Xu said that the EUV-grade photoresist material he developed is half the price of our F2 grade. Kawashima sighed and said sadly, "If it's true, we... We've pretty much lost the entire market. ”

The Blackwood Society is collapsing.

...

When Kawashima returned to the negotiation table, at this time, he had long since lost his domineering appearance before, and he could only cower and be respectful in the face of Xu Mang, after all, what he was in front of him was a legendary-level figure.

"Xu... Mr. Xu. ”

"Please forgive me for my reckless behavior. Kawashima said with respect on his face, "Chairman Kuroki said that we will sell this transaction to you at cost price, 800 million US dollars." ”

"Huh?"

"800 million?" Xu Mang was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure it's 800 million?"

At this point,

The people of Yang Hong Group were overjoyed, this batch of raw materials only needs 800 million?

It's blood-earned!

"Yes!"

"$800 million, sold to you at cost price. Kawashima nodded.

Hearing Kawashima's words, Xu Mang said with a black line on his face: "Who gave you the courage to quote this price?

I...

This...

Free giveaway?

Kawashima almost didn't vomit blood, he had never heard of the so-called free delivery, would Xu Mang do business in the end?

didn't wait for Kawashima to speak,

Xu Mang continued: "I see that your JSR has not yet figured out the current situation, our photoresist materials not only have good performance, but also the price is half lower, as long as we sell a little lower than yours, who in the world will buy your products?"

"Anyway, we make money no matter how we price, and you will always lose money. After Xu Mang finished speaking, Yang Jian from beside him said, "Why don't you think about it again?" Give me an answer tomorrow." ”

now

Everyone in the Yang Hong Group looked at the JSR delegation and looked at the aggressive Kawashima before, and then realized...

Originally

Professor Xu is the real technical blackmail!

If you don't give money, you have to threaten others.
