"Mr. Yu, are you feeling better?" Jiang Yuehua on the side took the thermometer in Yu Zixian's armpit, and asked worriedly while looking at the degree.

At this time, Yu Zixian and the others had already returned to the Oriental Culture Hotel from Kashima Tomoki's house, but then they were sent to the clinic.

Last night, Yu Zixian, who was sitting outside Kashima Tomoki's house and reflecting on himself, wore too few clothes, plus the temperature at this season, especially in the early hours of the morning, was still relatively cold, and after accidentally falling asleep against the wall, he was seriously cold, and he caught a cold all of a sudden.

Before at Kashima Tomoki's house, Yu Zixian sneezed constantly, but at that time, people's mental concentration was highly concentrated, and although he was unwell, he was able to hold on.

And after returning to the hotel, Yu Zixian couldn't hold it anymore, he was dizzy, and fell asleep......

Jiang Yuehua, who was on the side, saw that Yu Zixian's state was not right, so he tried Yu Zixian's forehead and found that he already had a high fever. So he called Hao Meng and Cheng Du, planning to send them to a nearby hospital.

Yu Zixian didn't want to go to the hospital, so everyone had to send him to a nearby Western medicine clinic.

At this time, after the infusion to reduce the fever, Yu Zixian's body temperature had already come down, his body felt much better, and his head was not so dizzy.

Wang Qisheng had already been here before, and when he saw Yu Zixian having a serious cold and fever because of the incident at Sifang Electron Tube Factory, he blamed himself very much. Although he was there at the time, due to the thick clothes he was wearing, fortunately he only had a little snot and did not catch a cold.

Later, there was an urgent matter, saying that there was a preliminary response to the cooperation contact on Benxu Glass's side, and Wang Qisheng had to go back first.

After Wang Qisheng left, Yu Zixian dropped two more bottles of liquid, and returned directly to the hotel accompanied by Jiang Yuehua and Hao Meng. Because, in the hotel, there is a new emergency message transmitted.

It's too inconvenient to deal with it in the clinic, so it's more convenient to go back, and as for the follow-up treatment, it's a matter of money. There is an additional $100 fee for a doctor to visit the clinic. This amount of money is not worth mentioning in front of the current Yu Zixian and the upcoming affairs.

"Manager Cao, how are you in contact with Nikon and Canon?"

According to the task arrangement, Cao Fei, deputy manager of Cao Feicao, first contacted the lithography machine manufacturers needed for the upgrade of the integrated circuit production line of Xiangji Electric - Nikon and Canon.

Yu Zixian still placed a glimmer of hope on them, hoping that they could give a little surprise.

"Mr. Yu, according to the preliminary contact, although neither of the two companies explicitly refused to sell our Stepper NSR-1010G or lithography machine of the same specification, the price given was very high. Especially Nikon, the price of a lithography machine is 50 million US dollars!

"$10 million? or the 1980's Stepper NSR-1010G?

As far as I know, two years ago, the Stepper NSR-1010G lithography machine that TSMC introduced from Nikon was less than $1 million, and the new lithography machine Stepper NSR-1505GC purchased at the beginning of this year has a thread of 0.6 microns, and the price is only $5 million, and they are now asking us $10 million, which is crazy!"

"Maybe they never thought of doing this business with us!" Yu Zixian guessed with a solemn face.

"Well, that's what I think too......"

"And Canon's here?"

"After we got in touch, Canon's attitude was very polite, but the price was also very high, but it was better than Nikon. ”

"How much?"

"The price of a lithography machine with the same thread specification is 8 million?"

“……”

Yu Zixian took a deep breath, and his head began to dizzy again when he was just better—this time he was stunned!

"Although you are the big brother and the overlord now, Nima, can business do this, as if our money is not money!"

Does a big store have to deceive customers? Maybe in the eyes of Nikon or Canon, it really is!

In 1986, the semiconductor market fell sharply (for example, Sanxing Semiconductor alone lost $300 million).

The decline of the semiconductor market is reflected in the related equipment manufacturers, that is, a group of lithography machine manufacturers in the United States have encountered serious financial problems, and the development of new products for GCA and P&E has stalled.

Among them, ASML is still small, so the loss is not large, and new products can be developed according to the existing plan.

In 1988, when GCA was acquired by General Signal due to severe lack of funds, a few years later, even GCA could not find a buyer and was forced to close. Another Ultratech owned by General Signal was eventually MBO, but it was not large. In 1990, even the P&E lithography department could not support it and was sold to SVG.

In this way, in 1980, the American three heroes, who still occupied most of the country, were completely replaced by the Japanese duo - Nikon and Canon by the end of the 80s. At this time, ASML only had about 10% of the market.

Ignoring the marginalized companies such as SVG and Ultratech in the United States, since the 90s, it has been a competition between ASML and Nikon, which has gradually grown, and Canon has been watching the excitement from the side.

However, ASML is still a younger brother, with only about 10% of the market share.

Perhaps this is why Nikon and Canon are so arrogant, because they have this capital.

Suddenly, Yu Zixian thought of something? It's April of '91, and in June, the governments of Japan and the United States will re-sign a new five-year semiconductor agreement.

"By the way, Manager Cao, when you asked for a quotation, did you report where you are the manufacturer?"

"Of course, for a large purchase like this, we usually need to submit the procurement materials together, and then they will review it and then give a quotation...... There's no way around it. ”

"Then you find a way to find a few Taiwanese or mainland and local manufacturers to consult and quote on your behalf, and see how much they quote......"

"Sister Yue, you can use your registered company to cooperate with Director Cao to ask for a quotation. ”

"Okay. ”

After discussing the matter, Cao Fei and the others went back and continued to organize and try different ways of consulting and quoting.

"By the way, Mr. Yu, there is one more thing, there is news from Lu Yuan on the Soviet side, and the beach-grabbing plan has made preliminary progress: three researchers from two research institutes have agreed to our invitation, and one deputy director is still hesitating......

"Great, did they say yes, which institute is it, and what exactly is the direction of the researcher?"

"Well, that's all the information I've gotten so far, and no other information has been passed ......"

"Okay...... "That's a good start!"

It's already April, less than 8 months before the end of the year, so I'm running out of time for myself.
