Although ASML's idea is very good, but Intel's people are not fools, this Intel's purchasing minister, who has been in the entire industry for more than 20 years, before sitting in this position, how could he be deceived by ASML's methods.

In fact, at the beginning, the minister was still a little anxious when he heard that other companies wanted to buy this machine. So on the second day, he immediately sent all the members of his delegation, and after making every possible inquiry, he finally figured out the origin of this delegation.

"Minister, after our investigation, we found out that this is a delegation from Huaxia!" The assistant reported.

"What! Chinese people! After hearing his assistant's report, the purchasing minister was first startled, and then his expression suddenly calmed down, not in a hurry, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he even said with a smile on his face, "I think most of these Chinese people are invited by ASML, who deliberately acted for us and wanted us to raise the price!" ”

"I went to this place in Huaxia a few years ago, and they have a company called Lenovo there, and they asked me to come over and talk about the purchase of CPUs by the way. They invited me to live and eat, which is the most upscale place in China, but in fact, it is almost the same as our three-star hotel. ”

"And even their most advanced cities, such as the Magic Capital and the Imperial Capital, rarely see high-rise buildings, basically low bungalows, can have a building of more than 50 meters, for them, it is already a landmark!"

"As far as I know, Huaxia's current national dollar reserves are only more than 10 billion, and all of them are in the hands of their country, those delegations are eager to break a dollar into two petals, how can they spend 150 million US dollars to buy a lithography machine, this is impossible!" The minister laughed.

"But minister, what if the Chinese really want to engage in chip technology? Didn't you say that this is one of the most cutting-edge technologies in the future, and if you have a chip, you will have a future? The assistant asked puzzled.

"No, but, please think about it with your head, chips are not just something that can be manufactured with a lithography machine, we at Intel must have at least other supporting equipment worth more than $200 million in order to make a chip. If you want to make a CPU, you need more than 500 million dollars of supporting equipment, if it is extended to the entire computer technology, then we Intel alone can't do it, we need more than 100 high-tech enterprises in the country, tens of billions of dollars of industry together, to be able to assemble a complete computer! ”

"What's in Huaxia now?"

"Of the three largest computer companies in China, two of them are joint ventures of our Chinese people, and the remaining one Lenovo has reached a strategic alliance with our Intel, and they originally planned to develop their own chips, but now I heard that they have fired the chief engineer and completely abandoned the self-research business!"

"So there is no so-called computer industry in Huaxia at all, even if they really spend $150 million to buy the lithography machine back, it is at most just to buy a furnishing, and it still takes up space at home, how can they spend such unjust money?"

"There is no company in Huaxia that pays $150 million, and it must be the official delegation of Huaxia that will spend money to buy it."

"But Huaxia is different from our country, if our politicians waste taxpayers' money, then they just need to pat their butts and leave, after all, our country is free!"

"But it's different on the Huaxia side, if their officials make mistakes, they will be held accountable from top to bottom, and if they spend a huge amount of dollars to buy a useless machine, then this official will even be imprisoned, and if not, he will have to eat guns!" The minister said.

"Huaxia is so terrible!" When the assistant heard the minister's words, his face turned white with fright. His father is a federal official, and his father has nothing to do about wasting the funds of the United States, so he has to eat guns!

"If it were other delegations, I would still be a little worried. But since it is a Chinese person, there is no need to worry about it at all, this must be a trust invited by ASML! In the end, the minister made a decisive conclusion.

"But minister, there is still something strange in this, that is, why did ASML invite the Huaxia delegation to come over as this trustee? Don't they know that it is impossible for Huaxia to pay for their machines? Wouldn't it be more reliable for them to go directly to nearby countries such as Germany, France, England and invite some delegations to come over? The assistant asked puzzled.

"This ......" The minister, who was still answering fluently just now, suddenly got a little stuck at this moment.

Because he can't explain the problem, but people often have an ostrich mentality, so when the assistant brought up this fatal logical loophole, the minister instinctively ignored it.

"There's nothing to ask about this, maybe they ASML themselves don't know why they want to invite Huaxia people over as a trust, maybe they just happened to pass by!" The minister licked his lips and said.

——————————

In fact, the ministers of Intel are not wrong, and ASML itself does not understand why the Chinese people came to be the trustee, but on the new day, in order to express the grandeur, ASML still took a delegation of Daqian to visit the company.

Ni Guangnan simply slipped into the factory to visit the interior of the factory, leaving only Boss Jia with a few secretaries and assistants to start procurement negotiations with ASML.

In fact, the vice president was reluctant to talk at first, and it seemed that he just wanted to take thousands of people to visit the factory today, and it was after Boss Jia repeatedly urged that the other party had to start procurement negotiations.

It was still the vice president who was in charge of the negotiation with Jia Yapeng, but to Boss Jia's surprise, his guest had brought six or seven assistants and secretaries over, but the vice president had only one attendant behind him, making Jia Yapeng seem to be on their home turf, and the other party was the guest.

"Mr. President, let's start negotiating!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"Good! No problem! The president was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Okay, then ask the other party to give us a detailed quotation first, let's study the price?" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"It's nature!" The president smiled, and then ordered the assistant behind him to go and get the quotation.

As a result, when the assistant was gone for two hours, when he returned, he actually reported that the printer was broken and could not print the quotation, so the vice president said very regretfully, hoping to wait for their quotation to be ready tomorrow before negotiating.

This operation stunned Boss Jia.

On the second day, the quotation came out, but the vice president could not be accompanied by something because of work, and Boss Jia proposed to let others negotiate, but ASML said that the president and vice president were not there, and no one could negotiate, but they could take the delegation to Amsterdam.

ASML is the east, and the whole delegation has a good time and feels the style of the Dutch red light district.

"What the hell is this?" Boss Jia is really stupid, this operation is completely incomprehensible!
