When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

“Mr. Wang, since it’s a collaboration, there should be a collaborative attitude, but Mr. Wang’s attitude is clearly not like that.”

"Since your company wants to enter the international market and needs our cooperation, shouldn't you show the attitude of a partner?"

At this moment, the head of a semiconductor company in Japan spoke up.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became strange as soon as these words were spoken.

Logically speaking, the conditions offered by Wang Donglai were not excessive at all.

It could even be said that it demonstrated great goodwill and sincerity in cooperation.

Even the most demanding person would find it difficult to find any loopholes.

However, no one expected that the people from Japan would not disappoint when they opened their mouths.

They actually found a problem in the attitude.

Wang Donglai's gaze fell on this person, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "You're right. We should treat our partners with the attitude of partners."

"But who are the partners and who are the competitors?"

"At present, I'm afraid only if Mr. Grofond Jess agrees to my conditions can we be considered partners!"

"So, what's wrong with my attitude?"

Wang Donglai glanced at him briefly, then looked away.

Furthermore, Wang Donglai continued, "I'm sure you can all see my sincerity from the conditions I just presented. I am personally very willing to cooperate with upstream and downstream equipment suppliers and material suppliers."

"Many people say that Galaxy Technology likes to keep everything to itself, but is that really the case?!"

"We aim for mutual benefit and win-win results. For our suppliers, we always offer the shortest payment terms in the industry, and our profit margins are guaranteed."

"We can even help cover part of the research and development costs for advanced technologies, and work together to advance technological development."

"I think such a partner is quite rare."

"What you just said clearly shows that you don't understand me."

“I understand your thinking perfectly well; you just want to use conditions to blackmail me into giving in.”

"I'm telling you, that's absolutely impossible!"

"Even if Galaxy Technology pours all its money into it, I won't compromise in the slightest."

"But you need to think carefully. If you really want to do this, can you handle the equivalent level of protection?"

By the end, Wang Donglai's eyes had a hint of murderous intent.

This seems to be something deeply ingrained in the Chinese people: the sight of cherry blossoms evokes a murderous intent.

As if frightened by Wang Donglai's murderous aura, the Japanese merchant who had just spoken fell silent and hid like an ostrich.

The atmosphere in the conference room also quieted down due to Wang Donglai's sudden change in attitude.

Wang Donglai finally spoke his mind.

The West, led by the Bald Eagle Federation, has always held this view.

They have always wanted to use their first-mover advantage in equipment and materials to contain Galaxy Technology.

However, Galaxy Technologies' lithography factory technology is simply too powerful.

Not only is it low-cost and highly efficient, but major companies also tend to use photolithography technology due to their commercial interests.

After all, capital doesn't care about anything else; making more money is all that matters.

With enough profit, capitalists might even sell the rope that hangs them.

This is no joke!
"Your company's price war is not good news for anyone here. It will greatly affect our profits and our financial statements!"

At this point, another merchant brought it up.

Although Wang Donglai doubled the price of lithography factories, the most important point is that China has mastered the manufacturing of advanced process chips, which means that the price of advanced process chips is about to drop.

Only high-end products can generate sufficient profits, while low-priced products can only rely on high sales volume to earn meager profits.

This has long been the golden rule of commercial profits.

Now, China not only has the capability to manufacture low-end chips, but has also made breakthroughs in high-end chip products.

Given China's terrifyingly fast infrastructure development speed, a large number of products will inevitably flood the market.

The resulting images were almost predictable.

The price dropped, all the way down to the dirt cheap.

In this process, overseas companies and competitors are driven out of business, leaving only a few companies. After capturing the vast majority of the market, these companies will raise prices.

This tactic is so familiar.

Chinese companies do this in many fields.

Therefore, this concern is not unfounded or unreasonable.

Wang Donglai seemed prepared for this question, showing no sign of panic, and calmly said, "As I just said, Galaxy Technology aims for mutual benefit and win-win cooperation with everyone, but it seems you still don't believe that."

"However, I'd like to ask, how exactly did you get to this position?"

"Could you please take a closer look at the specific information about Galaxy Technology?"

When have we ever offered cheap products?

Are Changqing Liquid cheap? Are Lidan Shugan Tablets cheap? Are Meiyan Water cheap?

"Or did you get a great deal by licensing our patents?"

Why do you insist on applying the stereotypes and fixed impressions that other companies have given you to Galaxy Technology?

"Here, I can tell you very clearly that I will indeed reduce the price of high-end chips, at least by 30% compared to the current market price."

"But that's only 30%, and even so, the remaining profit is still quite substantial."

"I think you are all well aware of how serious the product premium was in the past."

"This is true everywhere in the world."

"Just like the products we sell to your country, we also raise prices, because you can't offer the same products!"

Wang Donglai's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, his eyes sharp as knives.

His tone, however, carried a hint of mockery towards overseas countries.

When the crowd heard what Wang Donglai said, their expressions varied.

People in China felt both relieved and somewhat embarrassed.

However, people overseas did not have such complicated emotions; their focus was entirely on the 30% price reduction that Wang Donglai mentioned.

At the same time, they were already wondering how much the price reduction actually was.

In an instant, they knew the answer.

There was no loss, and there was even a profit, just a much smaller profit than before.

It's barely considered a normal profit margin!
In the past, China lacked this capability, so they held complete control over setting premium prices.

If they feel the price isn't enough, they can even set off a fire to increase the product price.

It's worth mentioning that the high welfare benefits offered by foreign companies are actually due to their high profit margins, allowing them to afford such generous compensation. Of course, this is also partly due to their employees' awareness and efforts to secure these benefits. "I think Mr. Wang's proposal is very reasonable, and I can accept it!"

In the silence, another company agreed, becoming the second company after GlobalFoundries to do so.

"I have no opinion!"

"I am certain that with the addition of Galaxy Technology, the entire semiconductor industry will develop better!"

"The international market is so big, and there's still a lot of room for growth. We should focus on the future!"

It was as if a switch had been flipped, and one company after another chose to agree.

Without exception, these companies are either equipment suppliers or material suppliers.

Giants like Qualcomm and Intel, however, remain silent.

Companies like ASML and TJD, however, looked quite grim.

When dealing with overseas companies that agreed, Wang Donglai's attitude was very gentle and friendly, after all, they were also partners.

Wang Dong didn't even glance at companies like Qualcomm, Intel, and ASML.

Once all the companies that had voiced their agreement had finished speaking, Wang Donglai glanced around again.

"Alright, let's adjourn the meeting here today!"

"Those who should agree have agreed, and those who didn't agree haven't agreed. Anyway, there's still time, and the choice is still in your hands!"

After speaking, Wang Donglai turned to his superior and asked, "Sir, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Sitting in the conference room, the leader, who had been virtually invisible, gave a wry smile.

He wasn't supposed to be the main character of the meeting, but he never expected that he wouldn't even have a chance to speak and would just watch Wang Donglai display his prowess the whole time.

Only after it was over did Wang Donglai ask for his opinion.

Thinking this way, the leader naturally didn't say anything else, and followed Wang Donglai's words, saying, "Mr. Wang is right. The agenda for this meeting has been largely completed, so let's stop here for now. After all, this matter is very important, and everyone can go down and think about it carefully."

After the leader finished speaking, he got up and left without lingering.

Wang Donglai followed closely behind the leader. Just as they were about to walk out the door, he paused and said, "Cooperation or competition, the choice is in your hands. Galaxy Technology welcomes cooperation, but we are never afraid of competition!"

After casually uttering this sentence, Wang Donglai turned and left the conference room.

The others were left in the meeting room with complicated expressions.

Domestic entrepreneurs immediately stood up from their stools and headed out the door.

Soon, the conference room was filled with people from overseas.

"Jace, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Hans turned around abruptly and questioned Jess.

Jess remained completely unfazed and said, "Galaxy Technologies' lithography factory technology is very important to us. They finally chose to sell it, and I chose to buy it. What's wrong with that?"

"Perhaps, after we buy it and do some research, we'll discover the secrets of this technology!"

Hans naturally knew that this possibility was slim.

After all, the way they guarded against other countries stealing lithography technology back then was so rigorous that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as demanding.

Now, China will naturally not allow them to take advantage of this situation.

It can only be said that the possibility of technically cracking it is infinitely close to zero.

“Wang Donglai’s attitude toward us is nothing like that of other Chinese businessmen.”

“In his eyes, I saw no fear, admiration or longing for us, only provocation and mockery.”

“Such a person is dangerous, especially since he also possesses strong scientific research capabilities and enormous wealth.”

"I think there must be something hidden in his opinions that we don't know, which is of great benefit to them."

"The Chinese people have a very long history, and many of their schemes are beyond our imagination."

"The semiconductor industry is extremely important. If we let Galaxy Technology continue to develop unchecked, we will only fall behind and eventually be eliminated!"

Hans spoke with great concern, but the others appeared indifferent.

They are merchants from the Bald Eagle Federation; they only care about profits and money and don't think about anything else.

"Hans, if I were you, I would never think about these things!"

"By the time all that you're talking about happens, you'll probably no longer be in this position."

Instead of worrying about these things, you should think about how to make some extra money in the stock market!

Jess looked at Hans with a hint of sympathy in his eyes and gave him a reminder.

"Oh, Falk!"

Hans muttered a curse under his breath.

Jess, however, didn't seem to care. He looked around at everyone and said, "There's a saying in China: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' Galaxy Technology's technological research and development capabilities are now obvious."

"We must change our perspective on China. We absolutely cannot continue to use the old viewpoint, otherwise it will only remain our own."

"Galaxy Technology has already developed so many technologies. If we increase the ban, it will only further accelerate their research and development."

"Instead of doing that, we might as well join forces, so at least everyone can make money!"

"As for the decrease in profits, I don't think so. There are only useless people, not useless business partnerships."

Jess seemed to be implying something, and after saying that, he stopped talking.

After saying that, he stood up and left the meeting room without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, the other companies that had chosen to agree also got up and left.

In the end, only a few companies, such as ASML, remained.

A sense of loneliness welled up within me.

……

And on the other side.

Wang Donglai had barely taken two steps out of the meeting room when he saw his superiors waiting for him.

"Mr. Wang, your performance today was absolutely amazing!"

Upon hearing his superior's words, Wang Donglai didn't mince words or feign modesty. He simply nodded and said, "You're too kind, superior. We should use the methods that are familiar to these foreigners."

"They are not like us. They have such a long history and culture, and their etiquette and morality are weak. It's better to be more direct in our speech!"

The leader shook his head and said, "This is also because General Manager Wang has mastered advanced technology."

Wang Donglai smiled but didn't say anything.

The leader then spoke up, "Mr. Wang, if you're not too busy, how about we have a casual meal together?"

Wang Donglai naturally wouldn't refuse his leader's invitation, after all, this leader was also from Beijing, and although his current position wasn't very high, he was young.

It's always good to cultivate positive relationships. (End of Chapter)
