The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 916
"What? Don't you Trumpf know?" Hearing what the Trumpf representative said, the president of AMSL was very surprised.

He was really surprised, because he thought that as the leader of the industry, Trumpf should be more concerned about the development of the entire industry and the situation of competitors than AMSL, instead of waiting until AMSL had a meeting, only to find out that a competitor suddenly appeared .

"This...Because the current application scenarios of high-precision deep ultraviolet light sources are not large, there are not many scenarios other than lithography machines. If they don't say it, we can't know that someone has set foot in this field!"

"Okay, Mr. President, hurry up and tell me where this company came from, and whether they are liars. I don't believe that there is actually a second company in the world that can produce high-precision products silently. The deep ultraviolet light source comes out!" the representative of Trumpf said quickly.

Because it is its own director, AMSL has no interest in teasing the other party, so it quickly replied, "It is a company from China. What is the name of Modu Guangji? It seems to be a company founded by a government scientific research institution!"

"About more than a month ago, their representatives and representatives of the China Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance came to our company and expressed their willingness to cooperate with us!"

"It's unsubstantiated. Do you believe that they have this technology when they say they have mastered it? Have they provided a prototype for testing?" Trumpf's representative asked quickly.

This is the most important thing. If the other party can't come up with a prototype, it can only be a mouthful, and I don't know if Trumpf is worried.

But the result happened to be the worst one. I only heard the president of AMSL say, "the other party gave us a prototype immediately, a general-purpose deep ultraviolet light source. We tested this light source, and it is indeed a light source that can be used normally. !"

"What!" The representative of Trumpf was stunned for a while before asking, "What about the technical indicators? Compared with Trumpf's deep ultraviolet light source, how is the performance data?"

"Strictly speaking, it is definitely not as good as Trumpf's light source. We tested for 10 days, and there were a total of 32 light fluctuations and one failure. The stability is not as good as Trumpf's light source. In addition, the accuracy of the light source There are also some gaps, but this light source basically meets our technical standards and can be installed on a lithography machine!" AMSL's answer made Trumpf's representative look better, but only a few.

It is certain that the other party's products are not as good as your own. Our company has decades of history in the laser field. If a Chinese company catches up with the performance directly, what the hell will it be?
"Mr. President, I hope to get the prototype of this light source immediately, please give our company a convenience!" the representative of Trumpf said quickly.

One of the most important things is to get the prototype of this competitor, and then disassemble the prototype and analyze the technology in it.

It would be a good thing if the technology inside is the same as Trumpku's, so that the patents in Trumpkuai's hands can teach this Chinese company how to behave.

But if the technologies used by the two are completely different... that is also a good thing. After all, Trumpf has also entered a bottleneck in technology research and development, and the high-precision extreme ultraviolet light source has not been able to be put into production smoothly.

If the technology used by the other party is different, then Trumpf can reversely introduce the competitor's technology by dismantling the competitor's product, and then apply it to its own product to help itself break through the current technical bottleneck.

All in all, getting a prototype is a top priority for Trumpf.

"I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome!" Unexpectedly, the president of AMSL said hesitantly, "We signed a contract with this company. We can only use the prototype by ourselves, and we can only test the various output data of the prototype. It is not allowed to disassemble a machine for inspection, and it is not allowed to sell the equipment to other companies. Once found, we will bear huge liability for compensation!"

"What? With such a contract, these Chinese people are too cunning!" After hearing this, the representative of Trumpf said very unhappy.However, the president of AMSL has a weird expression on his face, because TRUMPF also included the same cooperation agreement with the light source sold to AMSL, and AMSL is also not allowed to disassemble the light source or sell the light source separately.

In fact, almost all high-tech companies have such rules when selling products. The complete lithography machine produced by AMSL also has the same rules. These are industry rules.

Of course, this kind of cunning can only be owned by high-quality companies like Europe and the United States. China's monkey companies are absolutely unworthy of such rules!

"Sir, if you hand over this equipment to us, it is impossible for Chinese people to know the problems inside!" After the representative of Trumpf finished scolding, he further demanded.

"I'm very sorry, the Huaxia people said it bluntly. There is a signal source on this device, which is connected to the satellite in the sky. Once the device is disassembled, or the device leaves the scope of the factory area, or even if the signal source is interrupted, their people will immediately If we come to recover the equipment and inspect the equipment, if we cannot return the equipment immediately, we will have to pay huge compensation!" said the president of AMSL.

"These bastards even stole our rules!" Trumpf representative said cursingly.

This method of directly installing satellite chips in the device was also invented by European and American companies. It is specially used to search for technological plagiarism in other countries, but unexpectedly it is used on itself.

Also because I am the inventor of this routine, Trumpf is very clear that unless we directly tear our face and tell others that we have dismantled the equipment in violation of the contract, otherwise it is impossible to break the anti-disassembly rule.

And Trumpf’s representative also thought so, so he directly said indifferently, “It’s just a Chinese company, and it will be demolished if it is demolished. If they come to ask, they will just say that the things are lost. Even if they go to the court to sue us , don’t spend a few years of work, and don’t even think about pulling out a result. You just give us the sample, and if something goes wrong, we will bear everything and compensate for all losses!”

"Well..." I thought Mr. President would agree soon, but he hesitated for a long time. When the representative of Trumpf repeated his request impatiently again, the president of AMSL asked back, "If this Is the price 5 million U.S. dollars? Is Trumpf also responsible for compensating the company for this loss?"

"What?" The representative of Trumpf was taken aback. Although they are the world's largest and strongest laser light source manufacturer, their annual gross profit is not even 5 million US dollars. How can they afford this compensation? payment.

Of course, more importantly, how could it be possible to lose so much money?

"Mr. Director, you may not have heard clearly just now. The other party was introduced by the Huaxia Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance. Although this alliance has only been established for three years, I think everyone here should understand it very well, so I don't need it." What more to introduce!"

Everyone couldn't help but nodded when they heard this. It is true that the Huaxia Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance was established for a short time, but because this alliance has almost covered the entire electronic technology processing industry in China, and the products in the alliance are famous for their high quality and low price. Known for its cost-effectiveness, you know how much cheaper it is than its western counterparts.

Therefore, almost all the high-tech companies present here have business contacts with the China Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance, and almost all the products that the China Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance can produce are purchased in the alliance. Sophisticated products will be purchased from other companies.

This has led to an increasing dependence on the business of various companies and alliances. Some companies have almost 70% of their orders handed over to the Huaxia Electronic Technology Industry Development Alliance.

Some companies are even foreign members of the alliance. In fact, Trumpf is applying to join the alliance and become a foreign member of the alliance, because in this case, it will be eligible to purchase some technical patents listed for sale in the alliance...Trumpf I took a fancy to the laser patent of a Xichuan company.

This patent is related to the future production of extreme ultraviolet light sources, but this company sets the patent as an exclusive authorization of the alliance. If you do not join the alliance, you will not be able to obtain the corresponding patent authorization.

Of course, after joining the alliance, you can get a fixed discount of 0.1%. Although it doesn't sound like much, if it is an order of 10 billion US dollars, it can also save up to 1 million US dollars in costs. Isn't this money good? ?

"China Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance? What are they doing in it?" The representative of Trumpf's expression changed quickly.

"Of course, because this manufacturer is also a member of the alliance, and it is also a founding member of the alliance, so this cooperation is led by the alliance. If we breach the contract, the alliance will directly cut off all cooperation with AMSL, All previous purchase orders will be voided."

"If this is the case, we will have to find buyers for the corresponding parts again, and we will have to bear even higher procurement costs. By then, let alone [-] units, even if it is [-] units, we may not be able to get them out. The loss inside is only [-] million U.S. dollars for you, and it’s because of your face as a director!" The president’s words were serious, and it made the happy representatives look very ugly, but he looked at the other directors present. All of them have nothing to do with themselves and hang up high, obviously not intending to stand up for him.

Trumpf is only a small shareholder who only uses 0.3% of the shares. The president will not be afraid of Trumpf's threat at all, so the representative of Trumpf immediately understands that it is impossible for him to get this prototype from AMSL.
