Chapter 517: Are You Really Here to Buy a Lithography Machine?

ASML is now very happy, because Kramier, a representative of Intel, has come to negotiate with them on his own initiative.

Previously, after the price of the two sides reached an impasse, Kramir had already needed to report to the company as a reason, and had not negotiated with him for a long time, but ASML also knew very well that this was just a competition between the other party and himself, to see who could not bear it first.

Whoever is the first to offer to reopen price negotiations will naturally have a disadvantage in the negotiations.

ASML now suddenly heard the invitation of Intel's representative to negotiate, naturally felt overjoyed, felt that this was their own strategy worked, ASML has felt the pressure of those Chinese people, they are afraid that the lithography machine will be bought by the Chinese people, so they have to take the initiative to ask for negotiations with ASML, in this way, ASML will naturally be able to occupy an advantage in price.

This made everyone in ASML very excited, so the vice president of ASML once again came out to negotiate with Intel as the company's representative.

In fact, it can be seen from the number and scale of this negotiation how perfunctory ASML was to Boss Jia before, because this time ASML led a 12-person negotiation team to negotiate with Intel, compared with the 2 people who negotiated with Boss Jia before, it is a world of difference.

From this point, it can be seen that this time ASML negotiations are serious.

"Representative Kramir, this is the 9th time we have started negotiations, and I think your company should show your sincerity!" At the beginning of the negotiations, the vice president of ASML said very strongly.

"Oh! What is our sincerity? Kramiel asked, puzzled.

"Of course, it's the sincerity of the price!" The vice president of ASML said, "Accept our offer of $120 million, which is already our lowest price, and there is no room for any further decline!" ”

"In that case, then I can only tell you that $80 million is the highest price that Intel can accept, and we also have no room to rise!" Kramiel said very forcefully.

And Kramir's tough attitude made ASML feel a little puzzled, didn't Intel take the initiative to resume negotiations this time? Why can they still be so tough?

Well, it seems that the other party is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and now he still doesn't accept his fate, so the vice president of ASML said lightly, "If this is really the highest price that your company can accept, then I can only say very regretfully, this time the price negotiation may only be completely over, we have nothing to talk about!" ”

"Oh? Could it be that your company has found a new buyer and is willing to accept the price of 120 million? Kramiel asked with a smile.

"This guy is knowingly asking!" The vice president of ASML scolded in his heart, but still said, "Yes, there is now a new company negotiating with us on the price, and we have a very pleasant negotiation, and the other side has basically accepted an offer of $120 million!" ”

"It's just that because we have always had a good cooperative relationship with Intel, since 1984, Intel has been our largest customer of ASML, and we don't want to damage the friendship between the two of us, so even if the other party and we have talked about it, I am willing to give your company a chance!" The vice president of ASML said very sincerely.

"Mr. President should be talking about those people in Huaxia!" Kraniel asked with a smile.

"Humph! You're pretty well informed! The vice president of ASML snorted, he was not surprised by Kramir's words, the other party must have already known about those Chinese people, otherwise they would not have offered to negotiate the price.

"Since there are other people who are interested in lithography machines, why don't you ask them to come and talk about it? Look at how much the Chinese people are willing to pay! Kramill said with a smile.

"That's not quite right, is it?" The president of ASML had a sinking face: "Mr. Clavier, there has never been a reason for the representatives of both sides to gather together at the same table to negotiate in the negotiation arena!" ”

"Then I can think that this Huaxia company is just a trust from ASML, and wants to let us Intel be fooled and take the initiative to raise the price, right?" Kramir said with a squint.

"Mr. Kramill, you can't talk nonsense, do you have proof!" The people of ASML panicked, and they couldn't imagine that this Kramir was really wrong, and they actually took out all their minds.

"By the way, your company actually used such a means to force us Intel to comply, it seems that there is really no one in the world who is willing to buy ASML's lithography machine, otherwise you will not find a group of Chinese people to be a trust!" Kramir continued to laugh, and the ASML man had a black face like a piece of black charcoal.

"Well, in fact, this meeting, I just want to tell you that $80 million is the bottom line of our Intel, and we will never accept an offer higher than this price!"

"Okay, I'm done talking, please think about it!" After Kramir finished speaking, he led the people to bow to the other party, and then walked out on his toes.

"Bastard!" After the hungry people ran out, the vice president of ASML angrily threw the file in his hand on the desktop and yelled.

"It's all your good idea, what do you say you can use Huaxia people to coerce Intel, now it's okay, it's been seen through by others, and our faces have been lost!" The vice president of ASML scolded several of his assistants.

Although these assistants were slanderous in their hearts, they wanted to use the idea of the Huaxia people at the beginning, but it was obviously proposed by the vice president himself, but now it is good, and it has all become the pot of their assistants.

However, these assistants obviously didn't dare to refute the vice president, so they could only listen to the vice president scolding himself, until an assistant recklessly broke in, and directly reported to the vice president Xiao Shen, "President, those Chinese people are here, they ask when they can really start price negotiations, their visa time is running out, they are about to return to China!" ”

"Get out, let them go, let them get back home!" The vice president of ASML couldn't help but scolded loudly, just when the assistant nodded a little scared and was about to go back to his life, the vice president suddenly calmed down, and muttered in his heart, "No, that Intel guy is probably just testing me, if I drive those Huaxia people away now, wouldn't I really fall for his plan!" ”

It was the vice president who immediately changed his words and ordered his subordinates to respectfully invite the Huaxia people to the conference room.

However, this time ASML had no interest in delaying any longer, so as to use these Chinese people to put pressure on Intel, and the vice president asked bluntly, "I don't know if our offer is willing for the delegation to accept it?" ”

That's what the vice president asked, and at the same time, he was also prepared for an ultra-low price that the Huaxia people would give.

But what the vice president of ASML never expected was that Mr. Jia, the leader of the Chinese delegation, said with a smile as soon as he opened his mouth, "The price of $150 million is still too expensive, and we think $90 million is a suitable price!" ”

"What! $90 million! The vice president of ASML was stunned when he heard this, these Chinese people actually made an offer, and it was actually a price of 90 million US dollars.

"You're really here to buy a lithography machine!!" Looking back on his life in the future, the vice president of ASML felt that this question was probably the stupidest question he had ever asked in his life.
