Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 240 Allies Carving Up the World

Lihua's new product launch conference has been held for a month.Because Lihua has prepared very well in the early stage, so that other manufacturers in the world have not recalled it yet, and Lihua's products are about to form a trend of sweeping the world.

In less than a month, Lihua's products have spread all over the world, including the markets of most major countries.

Neon Country was the first to feel the horror of Lihua. Their sales of computer chips almost showed a cliff-like decline this month.

The former orderers almost would rather bear the lawsuit of the Neon Country company than refuse to purchase the products agreed in the contract.

This is easy to understand. What's the use of buying a bunch of outdated chips?If they fulfill the contract, it is tantamount to their own death.But if it's just a breach of contract, then it's better to go to court, anyway, it's not the company that breached the contract.No matter what it is, pay attention to one law and not to blame the public.

It is also impossible for the Neon Country to go door-to-door to file lawsuits. If they really want to do that, the justices of the United States will not support them.

Not to mention this, if you really want to offend all the manufacturers, do you want to do this again in the future?Therefore, companies such as Nikon and Hitachi have exhausted almost all their business personnel and went to the other company to bow, hoping that the other party can continue to perform the contract.Even, their active price dropped to a very low level.

But even so, the market reaction is still not good.

The chip industry, which was once the pride of Neon Country, suffered a dimensionality reduction blow because of the birth of Lihua.

The other party's chip production technology is two to three generations more advanced than theirs. How can this be played?

Not only the chip manufacturers in the neon country panicked, but even the chip manufacturers in the United States panicked.

The representative company is Inter, and their technical reserves at this time are not as good as those of Neon Country.After learning about Lihua's production process, Inter was shocked at first, then panicked, and finally helpless.

But after all, they are a company of the United States. For them, there is no advanced technology in the world that they cannot buy.Ever since, after learning about Lihua's chip process, they decisively decided to purchase Lihua's lithography machines and other core equipment.

Capital, Lihua headquarters.

Today's relationship between the two countries is on the rise, which makes Inter never think that Lihua will refuse to sell their most advanced equipment.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Ye to refuse. This time his attack was aimed at the Neon Nation, and he was determined to kick the Neon Nation out of the industry.

"We want to know, how much is your company's quotation for such a device?" The representative of Inter company first asked this question.

"For 2000 million US dollars, a set of photolithography equipment, including the etching machine, only needs [-] million US dollars." Gao Xiaojun received Zhao Ye's hint and quoted the price.

"Oh! God, this is too expensive. We decided that $800 million is enough for you to make enough profits." Negotiation, no matter how much you quote, the other party will always bargain.

"No, no, Mr. Robert, 800 million is too low. You know, we invested a huge cost in the early stage of research and development, so in the early sales, we have to include this part of the research and development cost. I think. This is Very reasonable."

"But we will buy fifty sets of such equipment. Your research and development costs will not be [-] million US dollars, right? All the research and development expenses will be borne by us. It's not fair." Robert said to Gao Xiaojun. .

"Mr. Robert, why do you think our research and development costs are so low? In order to develop this cross-age device, our company has invested a huge research and development cost..."

Gao Xiaojun's words are fine. After preparing the materials in the early stage, this guy's negotiation level has risen sharply. Now Zhao Ye is basically sitting here, listening to him chatting with the other party.

In the end, Lihua sold fifty sets of equipment to Inter at a price of US$800 million each.But after the agreement was reached, Zhao Ye spoke again.

"Gentlemen, I'm very glad that we have become real partners. However, I have a small suggestion that I hope you will be interested in." After Zhao Ye's smile appeared, Gao Xiaojun knew that this guy was going to make trouble.

"Dr. Zhao, do you have any suggestions? Of course we are interested." Robert respected Zhao Ye a lot. It was this god-like man who alone rewrote the pattern of the world's chip market.

As a practitioner, Robert dared not ignore any opinion of Zhao Ye.

"Mr. Robert, I actually have a concern. The chip industry is a very narrow industry, and it can't accommodate too many companies crowded here. So why don't we build a closer alliance? We are no different from the United States and Europe. market, but in other regions, we will be aggressive. In this way, we can avoid unnecessary internal competition that damages the interests of both of us.”

After listening to Zhao Ye's words, Robert felt like his hair was going to stand on end. Inter is not currently the leader in the market, and now, Dr. Zhao actually proposes to join hands with Inter to carve up the world.Such news was sent back to the company's headquarters. He believed that the president of Inter would fly here as soon as possible to negotiate with Dr. Zhao.

For Inter, this is a rare opportunity. It can even be said that this is a choice that determines Inter's life or death.Once Lihua wants to cooperate with other companies to carve up the world, they will not even have a chance to breathe.

This is not an exaggeration at all. As long as Lihua refuses to sell lithography machines to itself, they will immediately become a second-rate or even third-rate chip company in the world.

"Dr. Zhao, I will fully express your suggestion to the president of our company. I think you can prepare for the meeting with him." Modesty, but the fact that he had to.

In this current period of time, and even in the next one to two years, no one can shake Lihua's position, let alone Zhao Ye's.

A week later, the president of inter company flew to Beijing International Airport with a team of more than 20 people.

Just as they were about to get off the plane, they saw a private jet from the United States parked at a nearby parking stand.

"Kelly, has any important person visited China recently?" President Rhys Evans asked his secretary who was traveling with him.

Kelly was taken aback by her boss's question, and then recalled it.After thinking about it, I didn't realize that there was such news in the recent news.

"Boss, there is no such thing."

Kelly's words made Evans' heart tighten. Could it be that some colleagues came to cut off the bullshit?

When Ivans came to the headquarters of Lever with a slightly apprehensive mood, he met President Ocedo of Grumman.This made his heart relax a little bit. He knew about the cooperation between Grumman and Leverage. The story of an arms giant like Grumman changing his career and selling aphrodisiacs in the United States has almost become a legend in the capital world. a joke.It's just that when the sales results of the first month came out, everyone couldn't laugh.

Just as Ivans was about to say hello to the other party, he heard Zhao Ye's words: "Grumman is going to enter the information field, of course I support it. It just so happens that I invited Mr. President of the Inter Group today, and we will talk about it together. Bar."

talk together?This is not a good sign!
Ivans raised his heart that had just been let go.
