Li Yunhai watched her finish a cocktail in one gulp and was very surprised.

"One more drink." She beckoned to the bartender.

The bartender mixed another glass of Margaret and placed it in front of her.

This time she didn't drink it all in one gulp, but drank it slowly.

Li Yunhai now knows that this beauty's name is Xiaosi, but he didn't talk to her, he just took out the money to pay for it, and then drank their own wine.

Si seemed to be waiting for someone, glancing at the beautiful watch on her wrist from time to time.

After a while, a young man wearing a white hat, a white suit, and white leather shoes walked in, he glanced at the bar, came to the bar and sat down, put his hand on the bar, and looked at Xiaosi with a smile.

"Jackson!" Silk smiled charmingly and hugged the man gently.

The man smiled brightly.

As if he had discovered a new world, the bartender let out a long oh cry: "Jackson! It's really you! ”

Jackson winked at him, made another silent gesture, motioned for him to be quiet, and then said to Silk, "I'm sorry, I'm late, the plane is late." Maybe I can take you to school tomorrow? ”

Xiao Si held her chin with her hand and said, "I'm not happy, I have too few friends, I only called you to come and accompany me, I didn't expect you to really come." Hope I haven't interrupted your work? ”

"There's no better job than being with friends." Jackson shrugged his shoulders, "It's late at night, but I think there's still time for us." Where do we go? ”

Xiao Si stretched out her hand: "My money is all spent, you can lend me a little first." ”

Jackson reached into his pocket and pulled out a few thousand dollars: "Is it enough?" ”

Xiao Si only took out one of the coins and handed it to Li Yunhai: "Thank you." ”

Li Yunhai shook his hand and said, "I'll invite you to drink." ”

Xiao Si smiled brightly, revealing two rows of shell teeth that were whiter than her skin, she took back the money and waved her hand at Li Yunhai: "Goodbye!" ”

Li Yunhai nodded slightly.

Xiaosi and Jackson left together, and Jackson also waved at Li Yunhai.

The bartender was so excited that he didn't drink anything, but his face was redder than if he had drunk, and said, "It's incredible, I actually met the pop king Jackson!" ”

He greeted Li Yunhai: "Hey, do you know Jackson?" When you see him, aren't you excited? ”

Li Yunhai shook his head, although he recognized that iconic face, he didn't chase stars. He is also not interested in foreign pop music.

He finished his glass of wine, got up and left, and returned to his hotel room.

The next day, Li Yunhai did not negotiate with the GCA company, nor did he immediately leave for GCA to investigate.

The order he wants to purchase has reached 780 million US dollars, which is not a small amount of money in the United States.

Take the genius singer Jackson as an example, in his heyday, his annual income was 50 million to 100 million US dollars. It would take almost a golden decade to earn $780 million.

This money is also Li Yunhai's current net worth, and he took it out to purchase a set of machines, not wanting to be played by others as fools.

The arrogance and arrogance of the GCA representatives made Li Yunhai feel that these people did not have the sincerity to cooperate.

He doesn't care how bad the after-sales service is on the side of the United States, he pays the money, and there must be a corresponding after-sales service.

Li Yunhai decided to wait for Nikon's reply before making a decision.

That meant he had to spend another day in New York.

Luckily, New York is a cosmopolitan city worth a visit.

Li and Gong Jie traveled to 82nd Street on Fifth Avenue to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which houses more than 3 million exhibits of art and artifacts from around the world.

They came to the Asian Department and saw a dazzling array of rare cultural relics from ancient China.

Gong Jie asked in surprise: "Why are there so many cultural relics of our country?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly: "In the Metropolitan Art Museum, most of my country's cultural relics are bought by private individuals or antique dealers. Before 1949, China's antique market was almost open to the world. During the war, many dilapidated families were forced to sell their collections to make a living, and sold them to Chinese or foreigners. At that time, the people of the United States were rich, and they collected all kinds of cultural relics all over the world as collections. Of course, there are also some of them that have been stolen and sold. ”

Gong Jie let out a soft sigh.

The two spent most of the day in the Met, and after they came out, they went to Broadway to watch an opera performance.

They watched the opera Les Misérables, an adaptation of Victor Hugo's name, which was spectacular from beginning to end, with a clear story, a strong perspective and a sincere theme. It was a five-star show with a lot of power.

Gong Jie came out in tears, she was a sensual person, deeply infected by Fantine's tragic fate, and also sighed by Valjean's life of exile.

"Is the end of Valjean the fate of each of us?" Gong Jie asked Li Yunhai softly.

Li Yunhai shook his head lightly, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, and said, "No, he has lived a more wonderful life, although he has suffered, he has also enjoyed the joy of family." In the end, although he died alone, he still had his daughter and son-in-law to give him a funeral. Perhaps the ending of more people is not as good as Valjean. ”

Gong Jie wiped away her tears and said, "I suddenly want to have a child, I think Quesette is so cute, and I also want to have a daughter like this." ”

Li Yunhai said the key: "First of all, you have to find a man." ”

Gong Jie burst into tears and laughed: "Of course I know, I have to find a man first, and then I can have a baby-"

She felt that discussing this kind of issue with Li Yunhai was too private, and she couldn't help blushing.

The two returned to the Plaza Hotel.

Professor Ni reported to Li Yunhai that there was a reply from the Oriental side.

Li Yunhai perked up and asked him what the East side said?

Professor Ni said Nikon is willing to sell a full production line, including a state-of-the-art step-by-step lithography machine, as well as a DRAM chip production line.

Li Yunhai asked, in addition to these, what high-tech do we need to maintain a leading position in the chip industry?

Professor Ni was silent for a while, saying that it was too much, and semiconductor materials in the materials industry are also very technical barriers.

Semiconductor materials have a common characteristic, which is that they require very high purity. For example, the purity requirement of silicon as a raw material is 11N, which is 99.9999999999%. A semiconductor factory needs large quantities of high-purity water for cleaning every day. The purity of the water is also required to be above 6N. It should be pointed out that this kind of high-purity water is not capable of being produced in every country. The field of semiconductor materials is very wide, for example, in the chip production process, the transfer of wafers requires the use of an electronic chuck.

The development of the precision chemical materials industry is also very important.

Some high-tech companies, after developing new technologies, deliberately do not apply for patents for the technologies they have developed, but instead use them as black boxes. Late-developing countries are difficult to imitate except for R&D.

That's why, even if you can buy high-tech products to disassemble, you can't necessarily figure out what's going on.

Regarding this, Li Yunhai expressed his understanding, and in fact, he is also doing it.

In the field of CCA, Li Yunhai has researched several different formulas of CCA, but he only came up with one to register a patent, and he also carried out a black box of the others, and will use them when needed in the future.

Professor Ni said that in addition to the hardware aspect, there is also software. Toyo has long attached importance to the manufacturing industry, but despises the development of the software industry, so Toyo's EDA software is not prominent. Each of Toyo's major companies has developed its own design software in-house, and is reluctant to disclose it to the outside world as a result of its competitiveness.

In this purchase, GCA will not only sell hardware equipment to Li Yunhai, but also sell him a full set of software.

Professor Ni said that Nikon also has its own EDA software, but it is definitely far worse than GCA.

Li Yunhai asked, what is Nikon's offer?

Professor Ni said that their offer was very cheap, only $700 million, including a full set of hardware and software.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this time he can save 80 million US dollars!

But Toyo's EDA software is a little worse.

There is another point worth Li Yunhai's attention.

It is the semiconductor industry of the Oriental people, who are being beaten by the rice people, maybe in a few years, the semiconductor industry of the Oriental people will be in a slump, and he wants to buy follow-up upgraded products, or go back to the rice people.

However, it is also possible that the future pattern of the chip industry will be completely rewritten!

Whether it is Nikon or GCA, it will be retired from the stage of history.

Not surprisingly, the biggest winner in the future will be Aram.

So now it's not a big problem who to buy from.

Li Yunhai asked Professor Ni, who do we find the best procurement?

Professor Ni analyzed and said that the two companies have their own advantages. Nikon's machines are more secure, and the after-sales service is good, but the shortcoming is EDA software. GCA just doesn't have after-sales, and I guess they can't provide after-sales either. And as I told you before, GCA's product yield rate is not high, and the failure rate is four times that of Toyo equipment.

In the 50s, Toyo's semiconductor equipment was synonymous with cheapness, and the price was much lower than that of European and American products. But even if the Toyo people sell it cheaply, they must make the quality the best. With high-quality and low-cost products, they quickly occupied the global semiconductor market.

This is the low-price strategy that people adopt.

Now China's products are also synonymous with cheapness in the world.

It depends on whether we can seize the opportunity, win with quality and price, and seize the market.

After having the right to speak in the market, it is natural to increase the selling price and increase profits.

After thinking twice, Li Yunhai decided to cooperate with Nikon and save 80 million US dollars!

How good is it to leave this money and use it to buy the shares of Mi Guo Technology Company?

This year, Dell, like Sihai Group, is still in the development stage, with cheap assembly machines, quickly opened the rice market, with an annual profit of more than 60 million US dollars, an annual growth rate of 80%!

Dell, like the Four Seas Group, plans to go public in 1988.

Li Yunhai knows that the best time to buy the shares of the United States Company is next year.

The stock market crash in the United States will cause all stocks to plummet.

Li Yunhai only needs to leave a large amount of money now, and wait for next year to come to the United States to sweep the goods.

Like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft stocks, you earn when you buy them.

Li Yunhai made a decision and said, "Professor Ni, let's go to the East and find Nikon to cooperate. ”

Gong Jie asked: "We are in the United States, can we fly to the East?" Do I need to apply for a visa? ”

Professor Ni smiled: "This is easy, we have a visa for the United States, and we have a ticket here - you haven't lost it, right?" We can use these two to apply for a transit visa to Toyo. Toyo accepts a visa for the United States, and you can stay in Toyo for up to three days. If you have more than three days, you must apply for a visa. With Nikon's endorsement, we want to get a Toyo visa, and it's definitely no problem. ”

Li Yunhai said that three days should be about the same, then we will contact Nikon first, and after we go, we will first inspect their machines, and then sign the contract.

The three of them acted immediately.

Two days later, Li Yunhai and others went to Tokyo International Airport.

Before they came, they contacted Nikon, and the other party attached great importance to this cooperation and sent a special car to meet them.

Nikon, whose full name is "Toyo Optics Co., Ltd. Nikon Co., Ltd.", is a well-known optical instrument manufacturer in Toyo, founded in 1917. It is a subsidiary of the Sanling Foundation.

The world probably knows Nikon because of their DSLR cameras. In fact, in addition to cameras, Nikon also manufactures and sells high-quality optoelectronic products such as optical devices, glasses, microscopes, and measuring instruments.

What many people don't know is that in the 80s and 90s, Nikon's lithography machines led the world's technological progress for more than a decade.

Without the restrictions, suppression and exclusion of the United States, Nikon can become the strongest king of semiconductors in the future, and there will be nothing to do with Azimai.

But there can be no ifs, because this world is the strong who have the final say!

A flight from New York to Tokyo International Airport slowly lowered its altitude and slowly landed at Haneda International Airport.

At the exit of the airport, a young woman, wearing a short skirt with a white collar and a women's suit, is holding a pick-up sign in one hand and a cone in the other.

She had long hair in a shawl, a loose ponytail, and bangs on her forehead that just covered her eyebrows. With big round eyes, a bright smile, and jet-black hair, it gives people a pure and charming feeling.

Watching the passenger come out, she hurriedly raised the sign in her hand, and at the same time quickly finished the cone in her hand, because it was so cold, so cold that she stuck her tongue out from time to time to heat up.

"Hey! Hello! A calm male voice rang in her ears, "Is it Nikon who is here to pick someone up?" ”

The Oriental girl swallowed the cone in her mouth, put down the brand, and smiled: "Hey! Hello, I'm Michiko from Nikon and I'm happy to serve you! ”

What appeared in front of her was a handsome and handsome face, with a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold hand; dark and deep eyes, glowing with a charming luster; The thick eyebrows, the high bridge of the nose, and the beautiful shape of the lips all exude nobility and elegance.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Li Yunhai of Sihai Group?" Michiko showed her sweetest smile and greeted this most precious guest, for fear that the smile would not be sweet enough to scare away this multi-billion-dollar customer.

"I'm Li Yunhai." Li Yunhai raised his hand.

Michiko thought he was going to shake hands, so she quickly put the cone wrapper in her hand into her pocket and stretched out her hand.

Li Yunhai took out his passport and handed it to Michiko.

Michiko leaned over and looked at it, glanced at Li Yunhai again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li Yunhai, hello, the company sent me to pick you up." Please follow me this way. ”

Li Yunhai called out to her: "Miss Michiko, please wait a minute." ”

"Nani?"

"Please show your valid ID, I'm sure you're a Nikon employee. Sorry, we're new to your land, so we have to be careful about everything. ”

"Oh-understood!"

Michiko took out an item from her pocket and put it in Li Yunhai's hand.

Li Yunhai's eyes widened and looked at the thing in his palm: "May I ask what is this?" ”

When Michiko saw it, she was too anxious, and put the cone wrapping paper just now in Li Yunhai's hand.

"I'm sorry!" Michiko's pretty face turned crimson, and she quickly took away the wrapping paper in Li Yunhai's hand, and then took out one of her badges and handed it over.

Li Yunhai glanced at her, and then looked at her, full of doubts, this little confusion in front of him was the staff of Nikon?

He felt the enthusiasm of the Oriental people, which was very different from the indifferent and arrogant Chinese people. Regardless of whether the other party is out of social etiquette or not, at least it makes him feel a trace of warmth.

But isn't Nikon too perfunctory? Or is it too busy? Is this casual, sending out the idler who has nothing to do in the office?

"Thank you!" Li Yunhai returned the badge to Michiko.

Michiko grinned: "This way, please!" ”

She quickened her pace to lead the way, and when she passed a trash can, she ran over in small steps and threw the wrapping paper, along with the pick-up sign in her hand, into the trash can.

Then she ran again, her feet were small, and her steps were small, like small broken steps, and she ran so fast that the ponytail at the back of her head flicked and flicked.

She took Li Yunhai and them to a seven-seater Coaster with a business license plate parked outside.

This type of business car has a lot of space and spacious seats, which is much more comfortable than sitting in a car.

There was a driver in the car.

Michiko asked Li Yunhai and the three of them to get into the car, she came up last, closed the door, and waited for everyone to sit down before she instructed the driver to drive.

She sat on Li Yunhai's side, and after fastening her seat belt, she leaned over and helped Li Yunhai fasten her seat belt, she had no fragrance on her body, only a good smelling body fragrance.

This is the body odor of a young girl, light and slightly sweet.

Li Yunhai said thank you.

Michiko always has a sweet smile on her face, as if she doesn't have anything unhappy about in this world.

The car enters downtown Tokyo.

Li Yunhai looked at the familiar street scene outside.

In the Orient at this time, the streets are very similar to those in the mainland of China 20 years later.

Many scenes can also overlap with the Oriental film and television dramas I have watched.

Gong Jie also came to Tokyo for the first time and asked, "Mr. Li, why are there so many Chinese characters here?" ”

"These are actually Japanese, and Japanese is born out of our kanji, so you can see that there are a lot of kanji on their signs. If you buy a local newspaper and even guess it, you can probably understand six or seven percent. ”

"Really? That's interesting. ”

"If you put aside history, Toyo is indeed an interesting place. But if there is no past, where is the present? It is a shame for a nation that forgets history. ”

"Makes sense."

Michiko speaks Japanese, English, and Chinese Chinese.

But her Chinese is average, and she communicated with Li Yunhai just now in English.

She didn't understand the conversation between Li Yunhai and them, but she kept smiling the whole time.

Li Yunhai glanced at her and pointed to the right side of his face with a smile.

Michiko's eyes widened and she looked at him puzzled.

Li Yunhai pointed to his right cheek again and smiled.

Michiko's expression suddenly became shy.

Li Yunhai saw that she didn't understand, and was about to explain.

But I saw Michiko suddenly leaning over and gently kissing Li Yunhai's right cheek.

Li Yunhai was stunned!

Even if European and American women are so bold, why are Oriental women so open?

But he soon realized that the other party must be wrong about what he meant.

Fortunately, Gong Jie and Professor Ni, who were sitting in the back, didn't notice this scene just now, they were both looking at the Oriental street scene outside!

Li Yunhai pointed to Michiko's face and said, "You have dirty things here." ”

Michiko snorted softly, opened her bag, took out a makeup mirror and took a photo, and sure enough, she saw a little cream from a cone on her right cheek.

She was shy, took out a tissue, wiped it clean in the mirror, packed up her things, and said to Li Yunhai: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't mean it just now." I misunderstood what you meant. ”

Li Yunhai waved his hand, thinking to himself, even if you misunderstood what I meant, then if I let you kiss my face, will I kiss it?

In his heart, the score of this little confusion became low again.

The car drove quickly and stopped in front of a building.

Li Yunhai got out of the car, looked at the unique building in front of him, looked at the golden triangular tiles behind the signboard, and asked, "Miss Michiko, this is not the headquarters of Nikon Corporation, right?" Is this like a hotel? ”

"Yes, this is Hotel Okura. It is one of the three major hotels in our country, and the empire and Akasaka Shin-Otani, which is called the three best hotels in our country. We booked you a room here. ”

"Oh!"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this Nikon company is not bad, and everything has been arranged.

This hotel was built in the 60s, and in the lobby surrounded by the wooden grille of the Hotel Okura, you can feel the atmosphere of Tokyo in the 1960s in the wood, paper, chandeliers, and Japanese flower arrangement.

The partition wall is made of four petals, and behind the front desk there is a clock wall of world maps, showing the time in the six regions of the world.

The crystal jade cutting line "cut jade" hexagonal chandelier is dazzling. Light penetrates leaf-shaped wooden lattices and large Japanese folding screens, illuminating the interior during the day and casting silhouettes at night.

It can be seen that the design of this hotel is unique, the designer uses the traditional aesthetics of the East to entertain the world, and the hotel itself is more like a museum, showing the ultimate artistic charm everywhere.

Gong Jie and Professor Ni were also attracted by the style of this hotel and couldn't help but look around.

After checking in, the hotel staff helped carry the luggage to the elevator room.

The elevator girl in a kimono is tall and beautiful, which is a big sight.

This is indeed the most beautiful hotel in the East.

It is no wonder that so many dignitaries from the business and political circles who visit Tokyo do not stay at the magnificent Toyo State Guesthouse in Akasaka, Tokyo, but choose to stay at the world-famous Hotel Okura.

Li Yunhai lived in a suite, and Gong Jie and Professor Ni lived in a double room.

Each of the three rooms has its own characteristics, and the decoration is Japanese-style and Japanese-style.

After Michiko arranged for Li Yunhai and them to move in, she did not leave, but stood in Li Yunhai's living room.

Li Yunhai asked, "Miss Michiko, when are we going to Nikon?" ”

Michiko smiled and said, "Mr. Li, our President Yoshida instructed me that you have come from afar and have a long journey, so please rest here for a night, and President Yoshida will come and meet you tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Li Yunhai flew over this way, flew for 15 hours, and was indeed a little tired, and it seemed that he didn't have to do anything by plane, but it was actually very hard, so he said, "Then I'll take a break." The time difference is going back again! Troublesome. ”

"Yes, hard work."

Michiko went to the bedroom very attentively to check it, made sure that the bedding and everything were brand new, and then invited Li Yunhai to rest.

Li Yunhai yawned and went to bed.

Michiko bent down at him, turned off the lights in the room, closed the curtains, and withdrew.

When I woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon local time.

Li Yunhai smelled his body, took his clothes and took a shower.

He changed his clothes and came to the living room, ready to make a call to report to Lin Zhi that he was safe.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Michiko sitting on the sofa.

When she saw Li Yunhai coming out, she got up with a smile and bent over: "Mr. Li, you're awake." ”

Li Yunhai asked in surprise: "I thought you were gone!" You won't be sitting here all the time, will you? ”

"Yes, I've been waiting for Mr. Li." When Michiko laughed, her big eyes were squinted, like two curved crescents, and her long eyelashes were as beautiful as butterfly wings.

Li Yunhai walked to the side of the telephone and said, "You don't have to wait for me, you can go and do your own work!" ”

Michiko replied, "My job is to accompany Mr. Li and take care of all his daily life in the East. If Mr. Li thinks that I am not taking good care, then I can leave and someone else will take care of me. ”

Li Yunhai was stunned, thinking that you are too thoughtful! I'm not used to it.

He picked up the microphone and asked, "Can I make an international call?" ”

Michiko replied respectfully, "Of course, please remember to add the area code for international calls." ”

Li Yunhai nodded and called Lin Zhi.

The time difference between our country and Tokyo is one hour, that is, Tokyo is one hour faster than our country.

At this moment, Lin Zhi is still at work.

She received a call from Li Yunhai, and happily asked him if he had arrived in Tokyo, and asked if Tokyo was good-looking?

Li Yunhai said that it was so-so, and that was it.

Lin Zhi pouted and said, "Look how fun you guys are?" I played New York and went to Tokyo again! As long as I stay in Xizhou, I can't go anywhere! Hum! I'm gone! ”

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "Okay, don't be angry, next time I will take you out to travel around the world." ”

"My visa to the United States has been approved."

"Well, as long as it is approved for the first time, it will be much easier to renew the sign. Next time I'll take you to the United States! ”

"Yunhai, let me tell you something, my dad is probably going to be transferred!"

Li Yunhai's heart tightened, and asked, "Where are you transferred?" ”

"I don't know yet, anyway, I heard my parents talking about this, maybe I want to be transferred to other provinces!"

"Transferred to another province?"

"Yes, people of their level are not moving around?"

"What about Auntie? Do you want to go with you? ”

"I don't know now! The appointment has not yet come down, everything is just speculation. ”

Li Yunhai's heart sank suddenly, thinking that this was not good news! (End of chapter)
