"Miss Liu, I'm really glad to meet such a beautiful person as you, and I'm looking forward to being able to be friends with you, and I sincerely hope that we can have the next step of cooperation, but as friends, I need to tell you that we are the only manufacturer that can provide a full set of equipment."

The middle-aged man's expression became mysterious, and the next thing to say was to deliberately highlight their uniqueness, so that she wouldn't buy it too low.

In the face of the situation of industrial overcapacity, enterprises in every country feel the same way.

An hour later, we finally arrived at ASML's corporate headquarters.

After Liu Hao and his party got out of the car, Steven played the role of translator and introduced the employees of ASML, and when he looked at a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, his attitude was particularly respectful.

"Miss Liu, this is the person in charge of our company, Tom, and my eldest brother."

"It's an honor to meet you!"

Everyone shook Tom's hand one by one, and both of them smiled in a friendly manner, and at the same time shook it vigorously, looking very enthusiastic.

When Steven whispered a few words in Tom's ear, the latter immediately spoke English to Liu Xin in a high-pitched tone.

"Beautiful Miss Liu, I appreciate your development ideas very much, it is amazing to make chips in Huaxia and dare to challenge TSMC's market share."

Compared to a great company like your ASML, we're just a little trick. ”

Liu Xin said modestly.

After a few polite words, Steven led Liu Hao and his party to the direction of the factory, to inspect the industrial equipment produced.

Western enterprises are extremely protective of industrial technology, and will never allow technology leakage.

Ten minutes later, everyone came to a huge warehouse, and when they opened the two large iron doors, a cold wind immediately blew out of their faces, making people shiver.

Then Steven and others walked into the factory first, turned on the lights in the workshop, and at this time, rows of industrial equipment, neatly placed, appeared in front of Liu Hao and others.

Steven enthusiastically introduced Liu Xin, and Li Jian and others also stepped forward to observe the equipment.

The machinery and equipment in front of him are completely unfamiliar to Liu Hao, so the advanced degree of machinery and equipment can only be verified by professionals in his own team.

Among the team, several experienced engineers were hired, and several of them were original employees in TSMC, all of whom were found with the help of Mr. Li, and people from Liu Hao's company, after all, they had not systematically learned these novel things.

In the procurement of advanced industrial equipment, there is no reference, and the previous purchasing group relied on luck. So much so that in the early days, we would have purchased industrial products from 50 years ago, and the real cases were there, which is not an exaggeration at all.

On the way back to the hotel, gradually, it got dark......

The night view of Veldhoven makes people from China feel that they have entered the county seat, and there are not many bright lights, only a few streets, and only some shops have lights on.

Many people have experienced the 80s and 90s, and Liu Hao has difficulty adapting for a while, as if they have come to the former world and cannot be connected with the current life.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Hao waited for Steven at the door of the hotel, and the two walked to a nearby Western restaurant, and then chatted while eating.

After a few words, Steven brought the topic up to the production line again.

"Mr. Steven, I want to talk to you about a second deal."

Liu Hao put down his knife and fork and looked at Steven with a serious face.

"Second deal?"

Steven frowned and repeated.

"Yes."

Liu Hao nodded affirmatively, and then asked, "The equipment ordered by TSMC?" We want this batch of equipment. ”

"Huh?"

Steven sighed suspiciously, raised his head sharply and looked at Liu Hao, the cup in his hand was also knocked over, and the red wine was like blood.

"TSMC gives you an offer, I can raise the price to purchase, as for the breach of contract in the contract, I will pay for your company."

Liu Hao then said, his tone a little heavier.

Steven was stunned, and after a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, muttered a few words of Dutch Chinese to himself, mostly swearing, and then sneered:

"It turns out that you have this thought, hehehehe, Mr. Liu, I can tell you very clearly that it is impossible to sell this equipment to you, and your Huaxia enterprises can only purchase the equipment I will show you today!"

"What's in store for ASML?"

Liu Hao was not irritated by Steven's attitude, asked in a calm tone, leaned forward, looked at Steven and whispered:

"Country M is blindly pursuing technological monopoly, and now its industrial equipment is seriously unsalable, and their fiscal deficit has increased sharply, and its foreign trade deficit has increased significantly, so country M will definitely increase the competitiveness of product exports by devaluing M yuan, so as to improve the imbalance between payments and payments. So, Mr. Steven, you just have to turn a blind eye and replace the equipment with the old equipment in the South China Sea......"

The soft words made Steven unable to sit still, and the words of the young man in front of him couldn't help but make his forehead covered with beads of sweat, all cold sweat.

"Let me remind you that your business also needs to develop, and our profits will also be given to you, as long as we reach cooperation, you also have the market in China."

Liu Hao's tone continued to increase, and Steven's expression was obviously moved.

Liu Hao forked a piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and did these movements slowly, while Steven, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him with a solemn face, and his excitement could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Mr. Liu, are you really willing to give us a part of your profits?"

"Mr. Steven, the technology of lithography machines is not as important as you think, and in the case of rapid global change, technology will one day be shared. Selling advanced equipment to TSMC cheaply, under the premise of competitive quotations, is a substantial loss to ASML, who is the biggest profit? There is no doubt that it is TSMC. “

Liu Hao deliberately avoided sensitive issues, but instead increased the contradictions in the enterprise and made the topic full of pertinence.

"At most, the M currency will return rapidly in the following year, and the Dutch export-oriented economy will definitely be severely damaged, and by then, most industrial enterprises will be struggling and on the verge of bankruptcy. So Mr. Steven, you should put business first! ”

Mr. Liu...... Your words over there......"

Steven hesitated, couldn't finish a sentence, and after swallowing hard and spitting, he asked in a heavy tone: "How much can you give our company a quote?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Hao's eyes lit up, and the matter of purchasing the most advanced technology production line is now confident.

"According to ASML's quotation, we can increase the price by 0.5 times, to put it simply, for example, if TSMC quotes 1 million, then we can give 1.5 million. And the compensation agreement between ASML and TSMC, we will pay for your company. ”

Liu Hao said solemnly that the offer given was reasonable, and it was in a range that made Steven excited.

"Yes...... Yes, that's good! ”

After hesitating for a moment, Steven responded affirmatively and directly agreed to Liu Hao's offer.

"Well, Mr. Steven, it's an honor to work with your company."

Liu Hao stretched out his hand, and then Steven smiled and solemnly shook his hand.

I have to say that Mr. Steven is a good person, invisibly, he has helped Liu Hao a lot, and if he can really purchase advanced production lines, the quality can be imported shoulder to shoulder.

This meal, the two of them ate for a long time......

The cooperation with ASML has been basically confirmed with Steven, and it has been agreed that on the second day, a new contract will be drawn up to restart the procurement of ASML's industrial equipment by Changkong Electronics.

"Let's go! Mr. Liu, I will take you to a good place, what you are not allowed there, we can all here, people must always relax and relax, rest assured, the service there is very good. ”

Suddenly, Steven, who walked to the side of the street, grabbed Liu Hao's arm, and his eyes became obscene.

And Steven's facial expressions at the moment, in Liu Hao's eyes, are so familiar, and he has already made up a lot of scenes in the movie in his mind, such as the husband who doesn't go home, the wife is lonely and helpless, and so on.

"Mr. Steven, I'll let Li Jian accompany us."

The best way to socialize, if you want to get closer to the other person, it's time to start the next step.

In the end, Liu Hao asked Li Jian to accompany Steven and returned to the hotel alone.

Next.

The people in the purchasing group got up early, and after a simple breakfast, they went downstairs to prepare for the day's activities.

"Everyone sit down and rest for a while, and someone from ASML will come here to pick us up and sign the contract."

"ASML?"

Everyone has a puzzled look, they didn't talk about anything yesterday, why are they going to sign a contract today, this rhythm is too fast!

"Yes." Liu Hao nodded affirmatively.

At 10 a.m., the purchasing group arrived at ASML's corporate headquarters.

After Liu Hao and Steven exchanged a few polite words, Steven led them to the factory

"The whole production line includes design, manufacturing, packaging, including a series of processes such as optical film board, wafer oxidation, gluing, lithography, development, etc., and a whole series of equipment, a total of four, and the other party purchases all of them in the purchase contract with TSMC."

Steven said as he walked, and between his words, he had already put TSMC on the opposite side, after all, aside from the so-called "delay" between enterprises, there was too much to give here.
