224 This one is cowardly! What about the next one?!

Heart!

This is not a lie.

Everything Tang Pudding does is freewheeling, to put it in layman's terms, where you want to be!

For him, life is just a game, just have fun, and occasionally have a little accident, let him complete a specific small goal, it is a surprise.

So whether it is to be a shit-stirring stick, or his parents are really unexpectedly able to give him a younger brother and sister, or set up a grand ambition for the national football team to win the Hercules Cup, and in order to realize Qin Yao's little wish, the poverty and disease will be eliminated on a large scale......

For Don Pudding, it's just a small goal in the game......

If it doesn't materialize?

It's a big deal, and it's not a problem except for the fact that it's a bit annoying that you can't archive.

It's just that he's happy or not.

So you're afraid of losing customers by bidding?

Hehe......

Inexistent!

It's not about technology monopoly, it's about mentality.

As a super player, Don Pudding's mentality is invincible, and people are naturally invincible!

But others are different.

For example, the president of the Netherlands, after listening to the recording of the call sent by ASML Huaxia with the help of a simultaneous translator, his mentality collapsed......

What is the concept of half a billion dollars?

ASML's full-year revenue in 2019 was only US$12.2 billion, because of its high added value of technology and high gross profit margin, which was about 42 percent, or about US$5.1 billion.

After deducting taxes and logistics costs, the net profit is about $3 billion in a year.

Now take out a sixth of the profit for a purchase qualification?

You must know that ASML has nearly 170,000 employees around the world, including nearly 7,000 R&D personnel, which are ASML's most valuable assets, and the salary is certainly not cheap.

Not to mention the continuous R&D investment to maintain technological leadership......

Of course, the most important thing is the psychological imbalance.

Why do people only need 100 million US dollars to compete for the world's most advanced electron beam lithography machine technology, while ASML needs 500 million?

There was a moment when Pete wanted to take the case and choose the path of self-improvement!

What is a technological blockade?!

He Pete does not believe that with so many years of accumulation leading the world, ASML's future EUV lithography machine cannot catch up with the performance of the so-called electron beam lithography machine!

Goose, the insider who listened to the recording with him, Jerhanson, did not hesitate to extinguish Pete's megalomania before he had a seizure.

"According to the prediction of the technical department, the performance of Huaxiaren's electron beam lithography machine technology is at least ten years ahead of us! 3N's industrial node is the goal we hope to achieve for our next-generation products. The most important thing is that we can't get to this point by relying on light, because we need Americans to provide us with light sources with shorter wavelengths!"

The rational answer instantly extinguished Pete's fighting spirit.

Ten years doesn't matter, but the crux of the matter is that in this decade, ASML will inevitably give up its high-end market, which occupies 90% of the market share. Without this part of the market, ASML will not be able to maintain its monopoly position and earn enough profits......

This, in turn, will lead to companies not having enough money to spend on R&D, creating a vicious cycle.

What's more fatal is that ASML is different from other companies in that it has a mechanism for investors to prioritize supply, which is why it has attracted international giants such as Intel, Samsung, TSMC, Hynix and so on to spend huge sums of money to invest in this company.

These investments also share ASML's R&D costs.

But if ASML loses its leading position, it is still unclear whether these companies will continue to invest, and what is even more frightening, they may even withdraw their investment.

In a sense, the situation in which ASML is in this situation is somewhat similar to that of Apple, which Pete had mocked earlier.

One has its own closed ecology, the other occupies a monopoly position and earns huge profits, once the ecology or monopoly is broken, it instantly feels like the sky is about to fall......

For this situation, the Chinese people see it most clearly, and summed up a sentence, see you rise a tall building, see you feast guests, and finally ...... I see your building collapse.

"So these five hundred million have to be spent?"

"Must be spent!"

"Can't you stop spending?"

After a deathly silence, Jerhansen looked up and looked at Pete in the throne with a blazing gaze.

"Of course! Give up everything you have now, starting in 1984. ”

1984 was a special year, when ASML was spun off from Philips and became an independent company.

Of course, after becoming number one, no one wants to start from scratch.

At this moment, Pete left tears of remorse in his heart......

"Then let's spend!" Pete decided.

"I'm glad, it looks like we've agreed! Mr. Pete, and I'd like to tell you the unfortunate news that 90 percent of the board of directors don't think you're fit to be the global leader of the company, and the board wants you to submit your resignation so that you can look better on both sides, don't you think?"

When the dust settled, Jahansen suddenly spoke.

"What?!!How is this possible?" Pete was stunned.

He could have imagined that this incident might make the rest of his tenure sad, but he really didn't expect to be swept away in this way.

This is nothing short of an insult to his leadership skills!

"Nothing is impossible!Pete, cheer up, I'm sure you'll be able to get yourself back later!" Jerhansen comforted sincerely.

"And what about you, J. Hansen, what about your opinion? Don't tell me you're in favor of this resolution. ”

Pete asked, staring at Jahanson.

"I'm sorry, Pete, we're friends, but who made the majority of the board finally propose that I take your place temporarily? No way, the board thinks that in this particular period of history, someone more tech-savvy should be at the helm, so rest assured, I'll help ASML through this." ”

"You ......"

"Trust me Pete, I'll learn your lesson, I won't get carried away, cheer me on!" Jer. Hanson assured Pete, looking at Pete with a determined gaze at the comfortable ergonomic chair behind him.

......

Huaxia, Beijing, Huaqing University Miscellaneous College single-story 3-storey building.

Tang Pudding hung up the phone and looked at Qi Chen.

ASML agreed to pay $500 million, and the company's global president, Jevinson, will arrive in Beijing tonight to participate in the bidding the day after tomorrow. ”

"Five hundred million dollars agreed?" This big deal really shocked Qi Chen, and he couldn't help but sigh, "These foreign companies are really rich!"

"Who's to say it isn't!" Tang Pudding nodded, sighing in his heart.

Why else do so many big guys fall in love with cutting leeks?

It's so cool to cut, it's like the money was blown by a strong wind.

Fortunately, now he has a lot of small goals to achieve, and in the past, how to spend so much money was really a big problem. But now this is no longer a problem, Don Pudding just needs money, especially needs.

"Wait, just now you said that Buter Hansen, the president of ASML, isn't their president that Pete?" Soon, Qi Chen discovered the problem.

"Yes, it was Pete before, but now it's a substitution. This is enough to show ASML's sincerity. Remember, don't believe what the big names in business say, they're all masters of instilling chicken soup for the soul!

Tang Pudding shrugged his shoulders and then took out his phone, he was now more and more fond of Weibo.

This time, I really posted a Weibo "Thank you ASML Huaxia for your $500 million reward, welcome your new president J. Hansen to Huaxia, and I welcome you on behalf of all the students of Huaqing Miscellaneous College!"

Be polite, and if you can speak, of course, you have to talk more.

After posting on Weibo, Tang Pudding glanced at Qi Chen, "Okay, classmate Qi Chen, it's time to study again, don't wait until the day of the negotiation, it's not good if you don't know if you ask three questions." Come, let's start memorizing the information obediently!"

"Wait, people spent $500 million, and the president has changed, should we arrange a big meal?" Qi Chen asked as he looked at Tang Pudding expectantly.

It's been a long time since I've eaten with Yan Xiaolu, so I just took this opportunity to find a high-end place to get together. is famous, but you can't show off in front of the girl you like, isn't that a brocade night?

"I'll make a decision when I see him, after all, I don't know if President Jerhansen looks ugly or not!" said Don Pudding, shaking his head.

"No, what does it have to do with inviting someone to dinner and talking about business and whether the person is ugly or not?" Qi Chen scratched his head and asked curiously.

"First of all, if you are handsome, you can eat it as a meal, and I won't discuss it first, but don't you think eating with ugly people will make you unable to eat?"

......

Half a billion dollars?

ASML has also changed its president?

Tang Pudding's Weibo instantly became popular all over the Internet again.

Even if there were still people who were skeptical about the technology thrown out by Tang Pudding on Weibo before, but now it is a stone hammer!

If it weren't for the electron beam lithography technology released by Tang Pudding that could beat ASML's EUV lithography technology, ASML would have been cowardly so quickly?

A week ago, it was as hard as a thousand-year-old meteorite, and a week later, it was so soft that it took the initiative to break his arm to survive?

What the hell is going on?

Of course, none of this is the point!

The point is that the tough ASML fell, and the company named by Tang Puding Weibo at that time was not only ASML!

ASML is not the only company that held a press conference in the second half of the year!

It's embarrassing!

Now the focus has changed.

Everyone went to see the companies that had a press conference in the second half of the year, and what technologies and products were released.

Countless game lovers were instantly boiling.

Because the product released by Google is a black technology about cloud gaming.

This technology is actually somewhat similar to streaming, except that the video is replaced by a game, which is called cloud streaming gaming technology.

No matter how big the game is, the main body of the game is placed on Google's cloud server, and you only need to open Google's browser to play it directly, skipping hardware limitations, and even saving time for downloading......

It's against the sky!
