Chapter 518: We Are Not Poor
[Today's eighth watch has been completed! ] Thank you all for your support! In addition, a reader reminded me that the Netherlands has officially changed its name to the Netherlands, so at the beginning of this chapter, there is no Netherlands, only the Netherlands. 】
"Hahahaha, Mr. President, you are really humorous, we came all the way from China to the Netherlands, if not to buy your company's lithography machine, what is it for? Come and experience your red light district? Boss Jia laughed.
"This ......" The vice president of ASML looked a little embarrassed, and at the same time felt that his question just now was too stupid, so he hurriedly remedied, "Of course I didn't mean that, I was just surprised by the price your company proposed!" The vice president of ASML said an explanation that no ghost believes, but Jia Yapeng and others have said that this is really a reasonable explanation.
"Well, allow me to confirm again, are you really willing to buy our lithography machine for $90 million?" The vice president couldn't help but ask again.
"It's true!" Boss Jia nodded vigorously, "This is our account in a Swiss bank, which has a deposit of 180 million US dollars, if you don't believe it, you can verify it, we plan to buy all these two lithography machines back." Jia Yapeng said seriously.
In fact, this money was just lent to Boss Jia by Intel.
"Ahem, this is not necessary, we naturally believe it!" The bank accounts were all taken out, and naturally ASML couldn't believe it.
However, the vice president of ASML still wanted to struggle and said, "But the price of $90 million is too low, and the difference from our offer of $150 million is too big, for the sake of our traditional friendship between the Netherlands and China, we can accept $140 million, and the price of $90 million is too low!" ASML said.
"We can't negotiate this price!" Boss Jia sighed and said, "Let's be honest, there is only 180 million US dollars in this card, and this is all the money approved by the state, we only have so much money, I am the limit of what we can reach." ”
"If ASML can't accept this price, we can only express our great regret!"
"In fact, I believe that your company also knows that the 70nm lithography machine is still too advanced for our electronics and semiconductor industry in Huaxia, in fact, we only need a 200nm lithography machine, which is also the original purpose of our delegation!"
"But I convinced the leaders, I told them that the world is progressing, and that a 200nm machine, in a few years at most, will be thrown into the garbage. Instead of spending a lot of money to buy a bunch of garbage that is about to be phased out now, it is better to spend a lot of money to buy one or two pieces of equipment that can lead the times for more than ten years! ”
"I succeeded, I persuaded my leadership, but our country is poor, 180 million US dollars in foreign exchange, that is the money that our people in the whole country have saved from between their teeth, and this is also the limit I can reach!"
"So Mr. President, don't tell me about the counteroffer, this is our highest price, and it is also our only bottom line, we are poor in China!" Boss Jia sighed and said.
"Talk! We can talk about it again! The vice president of ASML hurriedly said, but Jia Yapeng bit $90 million and did not let go, which made the vice president of ASML have no choice but to bite his tongue, but this is also normal, after all, Intel's $80 million has been bitten for two weeks.
And Huaxia is indeed poor, which everyone knows, 90 million US dollars may indeed be the limit of others!
However, ASML will not give up so simply, ASML immediately launched two serious negotiations with both sides at the same time, these two negotiations lasted for three days, but no matter how hard ASML tried, the Huaxia side bit the price of 90 million, they said that this is really their limit.
In fact, ASML also secretly sent someone to check the account of the Swiss bank, and it was true that there was only $180 million in the account.
On the other hand, Intel still insisted on the price of $80 million, which made ASML very angry.
It is understandable that the Chinese people bit 90 million US dollars, after all, they are poor!
But you Intel can make hundreds of billions of dollars a year by selling CPUs, why are you reluctant to make an offer of only $10 million!
So, naturally, the scales began to tip in favor of the Chinese side, and ASML was really fed up with such endless negotiations.
Finally, on the fourth day, when Intel's representatives got up from the table and loudly announced that if ASML still didn't accept the price and still bite the $120 million, they wouldn't talk about it, and now they would go back to the United States and let ASML's machines rot in the warehouse.
Then ASML was completely furious, you Intel didn't care about the long-term cooperative relationship, and you bargained so hard, then don't blame us for being ruthless.
The next day, ASML's attitude underwent a radical reversal, and after a long negotiation, ASML agreed to sell both lithography machines to Huaxia at a price of $90 million, while guaranteeing a three-year after-sales service agreement.
The two sides quickly reached a consensus, and then announced that the purchase agreement would be signed on the same day, and Huaxia would pay a deposit of $80 million to ASML, and ASML would be responsible for transporting the goods to Huaxia, and then pay the remaining $100 million after the on-site assembly was completed and production was successful.
And it all went very smoothly.
When the vice president of ASML happily announced the news to Intel, the representative of Intel smiled slightly, and then said, "We'll meet again!" ”
Then the ASML representatives left ASML en masse, only to turn around and appear in Jia Yapeng's room.
"Mr. Jia, we have a happy cooperation!" Kramir raised the wine glass in his hand to Jia Yapeng and smiled.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Cramier!" Boss Jia also raised his glass in return.
"Then now we can sign a transfer agreement, and your company will transfer the ownership of the two lithography machines to our Intel Corporation!" Kramir said with a squint.
"What?" Boss Jia was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What are you talking about, I don't understand what you mean!" ”
"Mr. Jia, I said that the lithography machine that belongs to us should be returned to us!" Kramir was also taken aback, what do these Chinese mean by saying these words?
"What do you mean by your lithography machine? This is the lithography machine of our Daqian Group, which we bought with money, of course it is ours, when is it your Intel Group! ”
"Mr. Kramier, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't talk nonsense!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"......" Kramir's body trembled, and he looked at the Chinese man in front of him in disbelief, "Mr. Jia, don't you even plan to abide by the contract between us?" ”
"Abide by, of course I have abided by the contract, I am the person with the most contract spirit!" Boss Jia smiled slightly, then put a card in front of Mir and said, "This is the $180 million bank card you gave me, and the money in it has not been touched." ”
After Boss Jia finished speaking, he took out another card and said, "This is a bank card of 200,000 US dollars, I will change it to you now, and it will be used as the interest on this loan!" Boss Jia handed over a bank card containing $200,000 to the other party, and this bank card was actually given to Boss Jia by Kramier.
"Okay, according to the agreement, I have paid off our arrears, let's pay them off!" After Boss Jia finished speaking, he patted Kramir's shoulder and whispered, "We Chinese people are not poor!" ”
