"The seismograph is not exported for the time being, but we need an EUV for experiments. If there is an EUV exchange, we will be happy to exchange with you. Zhao Min said.

Chen Mo watched quietly, if he could get a lithography machine and two more seismographs, he wouldn't mind.

"If Ambassador Terry thinks it's impossible, then he can wait for our seismograph to come and trade with us." Zhao Min said unhurriedly.

"Miss Zhao's condition makes me very powerless." Terry said: "We don't have an EUV, so what else can we do? ”

"There is no shortage of others in our company." Zhao Min shook his head: "I believe that Ambassador Terry has great powers and will find a way to get it." ”

"Miss Zhao really thinks highly of me." Terry shook his head and laughed.

"In this case, Mr. Terry is going to be disappointed this time, you better wait for our company's seismograph to be exported, and then come over, of course, if you place an order now, we will also accept it, and give you the seismograph first when the time comes. The price is not expensive, 50 million dollars a unit. ”

As soon as Zhao Min said this, the female translator who followed Terry next to her only twitched the corners of her mouth when she listened. Isn't it expensive, 50 million dollars?

If this is released, it will become a classic 'small goal'.

Terry's face trembled when he heard the price. He heard about the price of the seismograph, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Can't the price be lower?" Terry asked.

"No, it doesn't treat everyone equally, it's the price for every country. We have a very low production volume, and when we place an order, we are also not sure when we will be able to deliver. However, if there is a lithography machine, as soon as the lithography machine arrives, we will give you the only two of them. Zhao Min said.

Terry was lost in thought, and it was a conundrum.

They wanted seismographs, and the main purpose was to study. The seismograph they caught last time was damaged, and they didn't get much useful technology, so this time they just wanted a good seismograph to go back.

If they develop an early warning mechanism for the operation of seismographs, they can produce seismographs. This is the most cutting-edge technology, and many countries want to get it.

"Can you show me your seismograph?" Terry didn't give an immediate reply, he needed to contact China and reply further.

"We have a model of a seismograph in our company, so we can take Ambassador Terry to see it." Zhao Min spoke.

"Okay."

The group walked to the product exhibition area of the marching ant company.

In the company, there is a special area to display the company's products. After taking Terry on a tour, Chen Mo and Zhao Min walked to the office.

"The Americans took the initiative to come over this time, what do you think?" Chen Mo asked.

"Remove the responsibility of fishing for seismographs and get new ones. They had that damaged, they didn't have much research value, they wanted a new one to go back, they wanted to study the technology of seismographs. ”

Zhao Min gets to the point of the problem.

"Then this seismograph for EUV technology? Hopeful? Chen Mo asked.

"He didn't refuse on the spot, it was hope. I just took advantage of their eagerness to get the seismographs and made a deal with them. Even if they don't have a technical blockade, it will take us 21 months to get the lithography machine when we place an order for ASML, which is a little faster. ”

"It's better to make the news public, use three seismographs in exchange for a lithography machine, try it, maybe there are unexpected gains." Chen Mo said.

Now the countries of the world, staring at the technology of the seismometer in his hand, are not one or two. However, the price thrown by the marching ant company is too high, and the seismograph is not exported for the time being, and many people can't get it even if they have money.

The marching ant company is willing to release the seismograph, and there will definitely be no fewer interested companies.

"Yes, whoever you exchange with anyway is a change, it doesn't have to be the United States. There are also many countries that have lithography machines. Zhao Min nodded.

In the afternoon of the same day, the news that the marching ant company was willing to exchange three seismographs for one EUV was officially announced.

The news instantly attracted international attention.

The earthquake in the island country has not really subsided so far.

The Fukushima nuclear leak became more serious in this earthquake, and the news that the United States fished out the marching ant seismograph, which caused the island nation and the American people to fight each other, is still circulating on the Internet.

Seismographs are the biggest protagonists in this earthquake, because of the appearance of seismographs, earthquakes have become predictable, and those countries with earthquakes and disasters are staring at the seismographs of the marching ant company.

Now the marching ant company is exchanging seismographs for lithography machines, which immediately attracted the attention of many media.

The domestic semiconductor industry has not developed, not because of poor chip design capabilities, but also because of the lack of high-end lithography machines.

The news of the marching ant company sends a big signal: marching ants are ready to enter the semiconductor market.

Along the way, the marching ants caught whoever was unlucky. For semiconductor companies, the emergence of another potential opponent in Huaxia is a chill down the spine.

Intel Headquarters.

"What do you think about the need for a lithography machine for the marching ant company?"

Paul looked at Barrett, who was in the main seat of the room, and there were several other Intel leaders or directors in the room. Marching ant companies want to enter the semiconductor space, and they must develop new strategies to deal with it.

This nest of ants, wherever they run, will make people's hearts flutter.

"Don't worry, Paul." Bratt said: "In the semiconductor field, it's not just a company that comes in, but I'm a little interested in this seismograph." ”

"It's better to take out an EUV and exchange it with them, if you can get the seismograph technology in reverse, the company's stock and reputation will be on a higher level." Andy, the gray-haired chairman of Intel, who sat across from Barrett, looked at the rest of the room.

His words made the whole staff stunned.

"I also think it can be considered, they just want lithography machines, although they are scarce, but we have them, and the next batch of goods will arrive soon, in recent years, the Europeans have embargoed China a bit of duplicity.

The company has signs of loosening, in less than two years, the Chinese people will have a lithography machine, we are not short here, one less, there is no big impact on the output, and you can buy another one at any time. Said the youngest man on the field. He is Wilson, the CEO of EA, and now Intel's 12th director.

Other people on the field also fell into deep thought, in recent years, many European countries have lifted part of the technology embargo on China, with the rise of China, this trend will become bigger and bigger, and now there are benefits, they have no reason not to look at it.

If the earthquake prediction technology is developed with the help of seismographs and the production of seismographs is mastered, it will have a great impact on the company's reputation and profitability. It is by virtue of this that the marching ant company has become a giant like them, and its valuation has broken the sky.

Paul, the initiator of the conference, did not expect that the style of this conference would deviate in this direction.

Conference room at Samsung headquarters, South Korea.

At the conference table sat the other executives of the Samsung Group, and everyone was sitting in a precarious position, not daring to make any big moves.

Li Jianxi looked at the seismograph on the projection, his face expressionless.

This thing is the seismograph that has made a lot of noise during this time. He is very interested in this technology, and if he can master the technology of seismographs, the influence of Samsung Group will become even greater.

They are shareholders of ASML, they have the right of first refusal, one EUV, which has little impact on them, and the next EUV will arrive soon. They have a little grudge against the marching ant company, but they cooperate in competition, which is the normal survival of enterprises now.

There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

Samsung has been able to grow from a small trading company to a large conglomerate that now controls the economy of South Korea.

The seismographs of the marching ant company, fifty million dollars each, they knew the news. High-price monopoly, this is their favorite means, scarce is expensive, no matter how much money, this instrument that can predict disasters, those countries will also buy it.

Originally, the marching ant company did not export seismographs to the outside world, and they could not get them for the time being. Now that this is another good opportunity, they will not let it go easily.

The price of EUV is $110 million, and the price of seismographs is $50 million.

"Send someone to contact the marching ant company and tell them that we are willing to exchange with them, but we want four." Li Jianxi said.
