Chapter 339: The High Price Is the Normal Price (Part II)
Speaking of the United States, Ye Chen was very unhappy. If it weren't for www.biquge.info the fact that the military base was too important, Ye Chen wouldn't want to sell photonic chips to the United States. Now, the American purchasing group is coming, Ye Chen can't help but change his mind, this time he must slaughter the United States once.
Ye Chen rushed to his office, drank a cup of tea, and listened to the song for another hour, and then slowly called the American purchasing group to come in and meet him.
This time, the U.S. purchasing delegation was led by Secretary of Commerce Martin to come to Future Concept Technology to explain their intentions, and the company arranged for them to wait. It doesn't matter what you wait, it's been a long time, it's been almost two hours.
Martin is a smart person, and he knows very well that this is Ye Chen who is giving him a horse, and he wants to embarrass him, otherwise, he would have seen him a long time ago. He got the news that as soon as the woolly bear purchasing group arrived in Fengzhou, he not only saw Ye Chen for the first time, but was also invited by Ye Chen to his home to eat and drink.
He secretly scolded in his heart for the American representatives who came to see Ye Chen several times before, what was going on? I can't even do a good job of building a good relationship with Ye Chen, if Ye Chen takes the United States and drags the photonic chip, what can I do?
The United States is now waiting for photonic chips to do research.
If you look at the woolly bears of other people, they have already gotten the photonic chip given by Ye Chen, and they don't know where the research has entered, and the United States still has nothing.
At this moment, Zhong Lijun told him that he could go to see Ye Chen, and Martin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally see Ye Chen, hoping that he could gain something.
Martin took a breath, calmed down, his face was full of smiles, as if he was going to see the President of the United States, he walked quickly to Ye Chen's office, stretched out his right hand, greeted Ye Chen, and said, "Ye, hello!" I'm U.S. Secretary of Commerce Martin. It's an honor to meet you. ”
"Minister Martin? Hello, please be seated. Ye Chen stood up, with a smile on his face, shook Martin's hand, and asked him to sit down.
Martin obviously felt that although Ye Chen had no problem with etiquette, he had everything he should have, but he had an obvious sense of distance, which was not a good sign.
"Thank you." Martin politely thanked him, then sat down.
Zhong Lijun poured tea for Martin, and Martin saw it in his eyes, but it was not a taste.
He studied Ye Chen carefully, and knew that Ye Chen, the person who valued him, would pour tea with his own hands. He is also a minister, and he is also the secretary of commerce of the United States, the most powerful country in the world, this status is very high, and he will be respected wherever he goes, even those heads of state have to curry favor when they see him. Now it's okay, Ye Chen doesn't pour him tea with his own hands, which shows that he doesn't have enough weight in Ye Chen's mind.
If it were a different person, he would have a face. But he was facing Ye Chen, but he didn't dare to do this, so he had to thank him again.
Anyway, Martin is also a guest, and Ye Chen, the host, should take the initiative to ask him about his intentions. Even if you don't ask Martin what he meant, you have to find something to say, so as not to be cold. Ye Chen was very simple, he didn't bother to say anything, and there was a cold scene.
Martin knew that Ye Chen was deliberate, so he had to find out by himself and said, "Mr. Ye, I came to Fengzhou this time on behalf of the U.S. government, and we want to purchase photonic chips from you." ”
Ye Chen secretly scolded Martin in his heart for not being a thing, he didn't bring a gift, and he still wanted a chip, dreaming.
Nodding, Ye Chen began to pretend to be dead again and stopped talking.
Martin really wanted to point at Ye Chen's nose and scold, you don't treat the Minister of Commerce as a cadre too much, right? You say something, liven up the atmosphere, will you die? It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people, so he had to endure his unhappiness, with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Ye Chen, can I ask the photonic chip at what price you want to sell it to us?" ”
After speaking, his eyes widened and he stared at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen openly issued a statement, saying that he would sell it to the United States at a price of more than ten times. Although this matter was revealed because the old man came to Fengzhou for an ice-breaking trip, God knows if Ye Chen will talk about it again.
"What price are you going to give?" Ye Chen asked.
"Mr. Ye, when we negotiated with your country, your country promised to sell it to us at the normal price, and I think we can accept it at your domestic price." Martin knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly moved out the terms of negotiation.
"Domestic prices?" Ye Chen finally reacted, his body sat up straight, his face was serious, he looked at Martin very mockingly, and sneered: "Minister Martin, I think you are mistaken. Our country promised you that it would sell to you at a normal price, but not at a domestic price, but at an export price. ”
"Mr. Ye, I have to remind you that you are violating the treaty." Martin was busy protesting.
"It's not that I broke the treaty, it's that you didn't make it clear and made a mistake." Ye Chen said solemnly: "In the high-tech field, its export price is much higher than the domestic price, which is the international norm. Moreover, it was you who made it up in the United States. ”
Martin's mouth was open and he couldn't refute it.
Ye Chen didn't talk nonsense, this is a fact.
The United States, known as a scientific and technological power, is the country with the largest number of high-tech exports in the world, and plays a pivotal role in the high-tech field and can influence the trend of the high-tech field. In order to maximize its interests, the United States has come up with a lot of shameless rules.
For example, products that are exported are much more expensive than those made at home, and this is one of them.
For example, export controls, export quotas, etc., are all things that the United States has come up with.
Ye Chen attacked the shield of the United States with the spear of the United States, and Martin could not defend it.
"Therefore, the normal price that our country promises you is not our domestic price, but the normal export price." Ye Chen knew very well that the country would not be led by the nose by the United States, and would definitely not agree to sell to the United States at a domestic price.
Ye Chen's words are very reasonable, he can stand wherever he goes, Martin has no choice but to accept this statement, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Ye, then at what price do you plan to sell it to us?" ”
He was very concerned about this, and his eyes involuntarily widened.
Ye Chen stretched out five fingers in his right hand and said, "I'll sell it to you at five times the price in China." ”
"Five-fold? No way! "Martin jumped up and screamed as if he had a strong spring under the PP.
The domestic price is five times higher, that is definitely the highest price among the high prices, it is ridiculously high, and he thinks it is unacceptable.
"What's impossible?" Ye Chen said disdainfully: "What kind of high-tech products do you sell to our country in the United States are not ridiculously expensive?" If nothing else, let's just say that operating software is more expensive than a machine, how many people can afford to use it? Some practical software is tens of thousands, which is several times that of machines. If all of them are genuine and the full set is taken down, not to mention 100,000 RMB, at least 100,000 will be smaller. Is it expensive? ”
Martin's mouth was open for a long time, but he didn't speak.
What Ye Chen said is also true. The United States has repeatedly accused our country of poor copyright protection in our country, and the United States has not asked how dark their high-tech companies are.
A set of operating software is several thousand, which is not bad, and it is about as expensive as a machine.
Mapping software, that's tens of thousands, office software is a lot of money. If you use all the genuine versions, don't even think about it if you don't have a small 100,000. Spending so much money to get software, do I have too much money to burn my hands?
I also want to use the genuine version, so expensive, can I afford it?
"Besides, isn't it a high price that your Boeing sells to our country twice as many planes as you do in the United States?" Ye Chen gave another example.
It is also a fact that when we buy an American plane, the price of one plane is higher than the price of two planes in the United States. So, the profits of the aviation industry in our country are compressed, and we are always so expensive to fly.
"Okay, Mr. Ye, what you said makes sense, that's only double, not five." Martin had to admit that what Ye Chen said was the truth.
"What do you mean by double?" Ye Chen sneered and said, "Twice, that's because there is competition between Airbus and Boeing." Otherwise, would Boeing sell us twice as much? ”
Boeing has one of its biggest competitors, and that is Airbus. Our country took advantage of the contradictions between these two aircraft manufacturers to make a fuss, and if something was wrong on the side of the Polka, it found Airbus. There is no benefit on the Airbus side, just come to the Boeing side.
In doing so, we have really won certain benefits for our country. However, this is no solution, not a fundamental solution. The fundamental way is to send our own big plane into the sky.
Martin was again speechless.
Boeing, with such a strong competitor as Airbus, also sold planes to our country at twice the price. If there were no Airbus, the price would not be easy to say. One thing is for sure, it certainly won't be twice as much, but much more expensive.
"I'm an exclusive business, and on a global scale, I'm making photonic chips, and I have no competitors, so the price is naturally higher." Ye Chen said very proudly: "Aren't you the United States known as a high-tech power?" You can't do it? ”
The United States has always been proud of being the world's largest high-tech power, wielding a big stick around the world to demand the protection of intellectual property rights, in fact, this is to protect the interests of the United States.
Martin almost got his nose crooked, if the United States did it, would it come to Ye Chen? Because he couldn't do it, he had to put down his body and trade with military bases, wanting to buy photonic chips.
This was enough to make Martin uncomfortable, however, Ye Chen still sprinkled salt on his wound and said, "I'll give you a suggestion, you don't need to buy my photonic chip, but do your own research." Rest assured, you will one day figure it out. I'm very optimistic about you. ”
Ye Chen's face was full of smiles, and Martin saw it in his eyes, how could he look like the smile of Grandma Wolf.
Someday, how long will it be? Ten or eight years, or twenty or thirty years, or even a hundred years?
In the field of high technology, not to mention that we are 20 or 30 years behind, we are 10 or 8 years behind, or even three or five years behind, and the consequences will be completely different.
Our country is a clear example of this. In terms of lasers, we have a similar starting point as the United States, so we are not only not lagging behind, but more advanced.
However, in the area of missile and nuclear weapons, we have lagged too far behind, and we have been catching up with the world's advanced level, and it is not easy to catch up.
If the United States does not buy Ye Chen's photonic chips, but studies them themselves, God knows how long it will take to succeed.
The United States has made a relevant assessment, believing that the United States will not have any hope of success in 10 years by concentrating the efforts of the whole country in this matter. It is precisely because of this that the United States has to pay a huge price to make a deal with the Celestial Empire and wants to buy photonic chips.
Although this will be controlled by people, it is better than nothing.
