Black technology: starting from ten thousand times faster

Chapter 202 30 Years Hedong, 30 Years Hexi

Asmail was actively running around.

A few days later, countries successively announced that they would cancel some control measures in the semiconductor industry.

This also means that enterprises such as Asim can re-sell various equipment and materials such as lithography machines to the Longguo market.

On the second day of deregulation.

Marcello, the vice president of ASML, came to Longguo excitedly and took the initiative to negotiate with various well-known chip manufacturers in Longguo.

His first stop was Godson International, one of the leading chip manufacturers in Longguo.

In a spacious and bright conference room, Marcello and Godson International CEO Zhao Haiyang, with several subordinates, sat on both sides of a long conference table.

"In the past period of time, the international situation has been tense, and various bills have been introduced one after another, so we have to make some kind of decision..."

Marcello spoke with emotion, talking about the situation some time ago, it was not only like chatting with old friends, but also with a hint of explanation.

Zhao Haiyang didn't seem to hear anything, just echoed a few words with a smile.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Marcello felt a slight chill in his heart, and had a bad premonition.

But he still took the initiative to smile and said:

"During this period of time, we have actually been lobbying in various ways, hoping to lift the control measures. It was not until yesterday that we finally had a result."

"That's why we came to Longguo for the first time, hoping to re-cooperate with our partners."

Zhao Haiyang's complexion remained unchanged, and he said with a smile:

"This is indeed a good thing, and I believe that many friends and businessmen will be happy about it."

"allies?"

Marcello was startled for a moment, and then he reacted, and confirmed Zhao Haiyang's attitude through this sentence. It is impossible for the other party to fail to understand what he said, but he still said it on purpose.

There is only one possibility.

The other party did not intend to cooperate with him at all.

This made his heart sink.

Generally speaking, even if a new competitor appeared, Zhao Haiyang would not be able to directly reject their cooperation intention. At least he had to talk first, understand the cooperation conditions, and compare the conditions of Asimel and Apocalypse Technology.

But Zhao Haiyang declined without hesitation.

He didn't even ask about his conditions.

This shows that Zhao Haiyang has probably already reached a cooperation with Apocalypse Technology Co., Ltd., and no longer considers Asimai.

"So, what prompted Loongson International to decide on a business of at least one billion dragon coins so quickly, even if I took the initiative to come to the door?"

Several thoughts flashed through Marcello's mind instantly.

He knew that with the value and complexity of cutting-edge lithography machines, even if the two parties have confirmed their cooperation intention, the specific cooperation plan will have to be discussed for several rounds, and it cannot be finalized in just a few days.

Not to mention that Apocalypse Technology has just entered the semiconductor industry, and is not familiar with the production and sales service processes, and the efficiency will not be much higher.

Therefore, even if a cooperation between Godson International and Apocalypse Technology is reached, it is at best only a preliminary intention, and the contract must not even be signed.

Then why is Zhao Haiyang's attitude so firm?

Is the product of Tianke No. [-] so competitive that Godson International recognized it?
Or is Godson International resentful because it was previously restricted?Refused to cooperate with ASML?

Thinking of this, Marcello kept a warm smile on his face, pretending not to hear the other party's rejection, and said directly:

"Actually, our production capacity has gradually increased during this period, which can basically meet the needs of several major manufacturers in the Longguo market."

"Not only a few big friends, but we also hope to reach a cooperation with Loongson International first. After all, you are the leader of Longguo chip manufacturing companies."

Seeing that Marcello finally got to the point, Zhao Haiyang could no longer pretend to be confused.

He smiled apologetically:
"I'm really sorry, I may have to live up to Mr. Marcello's good intentions. We just reached a cooperation agreement with Tianqixin Technology a few days ago and purchased their Tianke No. [-]."

"If there is an opportunity in the future, we also hope to cooperate with Asmail, but only next time."

Marcello pretended to be surprised and said:
"Didn't Tianke No. [-] go on the market three days ago? You guys agreed to cooperate so soon?"

Zhao Haiyang nodded: "That's right."

Marcello didn't seem to care about it, and continued to say with a smile:

"The performance parameters of Tianke No. [-] are indeed very good, but after all, it is a newly launched product. Compared with our several cutting-edge lithography machines, it should have its own advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Zhao might as well bring the products and cooperation conditions of both parties. Compare."

"It's been a long time since we re-entered the Longguo market. In order to show our sincerity, we have great expectations for this cooperation, and there will be considerable benefits in many aspects."

Zhao Haiyang smiled lightly and said:

"We have already reached a cooperation with Apocalypse Technology, and there is no additional demand for the time being."

Marcello said relentlessly:
"In just a few days, you should have reached a preliminary intention at most, right? If this is the case, it's not like there is no room for re-choice."

"In business, interests come first."

"As long as no formal cooperation agreement is signed, you can choose a better product again. Mr. Zhao may wish to think about it seriously. Asimai's products are more mature and stable, and its after-sales system is also more complete, which definitely has a considerable advantage."

But Zhao Haiyang still shook his head firmly, and this time his tone was more determined and blunt.

"Mr. Marcello, although Godson International is a company that focuses on profitability, we also pay attention to reputation and respect our partners."

"Since we have confirmed our cooperation intention with Tianqixin Technology Company, we will not consider other similar products at this stage."

"I still have a lot of things to do. I take the time to receive you now because of my previous cooperation. If Mr. Marcello has nothing else to do, please come back."

Marcello's face finally froze.

Over the years, since they have become the unique overlord in the field of lithography machine manufacturing and are highly sought after in the global market, various chip manufacturers have always rushed to place orders.

Especially after some measures were introduced before, Asimai was even praised by some people, and he couldn't wait to beg them for an order.

As the vice president of Asimai, why did he humbly ask for cooperation like today?

If it weren't for the mandatory order issued by the board of directors, he must cooperate with the chip manufacturer of Longguo as soon as possible, and use this kind of good news to hedge and stabilize the stock market. He would not be so shameless.

But even if he pulled his face down like this and begged to cooperate with the other party persistently, the other party didn't give him any face.

Instead, he issued an expulsion order?

This made him completely angry.

The board of directors only asked to reach a cooperation with Longguo's chip manufacturer, and did not say that it must be the company of Godson International.

He originally only thought that Godson International was the leading company in the industry in Longguo, and felt that this good news would have a better effect on the stability of the stock market, so he insisted on it.

Since the other party doesn't know good from bad, there's no need for him to stay here any longer.

"I'd like to see, how long will it take for you to cooperate with Tianqixin Technology to get the lithography machine, how long will it be to put into mass production, and how long will it be to stabilize?"

"Some of your friends will definitely choose to cooperate with us. By then, they will be able to enter stable mass production in half a year, and they will definitely be able to turn around in one fell swoop and become the new leading company in the chip manufacturing industry of Longguo!"

"And Godson International, because of this failed cooperation, will gradually become second-rate, and may even be dragged down by an immature product like Tianke No. [-] and the imperfect after-sales system of Tianqixin Technology. "

"The cutting-edge lithography machine is not as simple as you Longguo people imagined."

"One year later, you will taste the bitter fruit for today's attitude, so farewell!"

Marcello was no longer polite, and after saying these words coldly, he stood up angrily, turned around and left the conference room with several subordinates.

Not long after getting in the car and leaving, Marcello just received a call.

He took out his phone and looked at it.

It was none other than President Sergey.

Marcello immediately looked serious.

He knew that it was night in Europe at this time, and it was impossible for Sergey to call him if there was no urgent matter.

He connected quickly.

"Something is wrong. The attitudes of the international chip manufacturers have changed. They seem to be deliberately delaying the progress of the negotiations, which may have shaken the cooperation."

"How's the situation over there?"

Sergey's question made Marcello feel cold, knowing how bad the situation was.

Previously, major chip manufacturers were trying their best to promote the progress of cooperation negotiations between the two parties, in order to get orders from ASML as soon as possible.

But now.

Tianke No. [-] was launched, and after the chip manufacturers visited Tianxin Science and Technology Park, their attitudes were shaken. This shows that they all think that Tianke No. [-] is at least as competitive as ASML's cutting-edge lithography machine.

Combined with Zhao Haiyang's attitude, Marcello's heart suddenly cast a shadow.

He briefly described the process just now, and Sergey immediately said:
"Hurry up and try the attitude of several other Longguo companies. We must win at least one of them to cooperate, and we can promise more profit concessions when necessary."

"Based on our current stock price trend, only the good news of re-entering the Longguo market can make our stock price rebound. Don't give up easily."

"In addition, I will personally find out why those people changed their attitude after visiting Tianxin Industrial Park that day. Could it be that Tianke No. [-] has some unannounced huge advantage?"

After hanging up the phone.

Marcello continued to meet with several other scheduled Dragon Country chipmakers.

There are no exceptions.

All rejected his cooperation.

One of them did not hide his attitude at all, and directly mocked:
"Did you really think it was the situation that you had to do at the beginning? You are still holding an attitude. If you really want to beg us, then show the attitude of begging."

"When you reject the Longguo market, you should think that one day you will be rejected by the Longguo market. We no longer welcome you."

"Hedong for 30 years, Hexi for 30 years, don't deceive me that there is no one in the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Don't say that your product is not as good as Tianke No. [-], even if it is still better than Tian Ke No. [-], we will never choose you."
