Chapter 519: Kramir's Revenge
Kramier never thought about what to do if the Huaxia people really paid 180 million, because in Kramier's opinion, the Huaxia people would never be able to pay this huge amount of money, and even if they did, it would be impossible to buy such an advanced lithography machine.
In fact, Intel as a whole thinks so, so Intel's headquarters agreed to Kramir's plan after careful consideration.
Who would have thought that the Chinese people really planned to buy a lithography machine, and they really paid 180 million US dollars, which is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world, but this ridiculous thing did happen.
Don't think all this is very incredible, in fact, in that era, the Chinese people were poor in the mindset of Westerners, and it was normal for Intel to do such a thing.
[PS: This incident has a realistic basis, in history, Intel has done things that borrowed other people's names to sell things cheaply, but was cheated instead. 】
At this moment, Kramir didn't know how to report this matter to the headquarters, if the Intel headquarters knew that the two lithography machines were bought by the Huaxia people for $90 million, then the Intel headquarters would be furious, and he would probably be swept out of Intel, and he would become a laughing stock in the industry.
"No, I must change all this!" Kramir clenched his fists, and then found Jia Yapeng beside him again and said, "Mr. Jia, this time I was wrong, I shouldn't underestimate the property of your Chinese people, I was wrong, I ask for your forgiveness!" ”
At this moment, Kramir's heart was dripping blood.
Because in Kramier's view, it is obvious that the Chinese people have cheated themselves, but now he has to admit to the Chinese people against his will that this is a mistake in governance, and he has to take the initiative to apologize to the Chinese people, which is simply a great shame.
But even so, Kramier's face was full of smiles, and he didn't dare to show the slightest expression of anger.
"Okay, no need to pretend, no need to apologize for this insincerity!" Boss Jia smiled, then patted Kramir on the shoulder and said, "I know what you mean, but if you want us to sell both devices to you, that's impossible!" ”
"We can offer a higher price!" Kramir's expression was a little hideous, "100 million US dollars, I am willing to use 100 million US dollars to buy back those two lithography machines, now you are satisfied, you can make a net profit of 20 million US dollars!" ”
"No......" Jia Yapeng shook his head.
"That's $120 million, that's the limit I can personally reach, it's really impossible more!" Kramere's whole expression was about to go crazy.
"Oh! It's such a good price, I can't help but be impressed! Boss Jia smiled slightly, "But Mr. Kramere, even if you raise the price to $150 million again, I won't sell you two lithography machines, because we need our own lithography machine in Huaxia!" ”
"Don't deceive people too much, you ......" Kramir was really about to explode, just as he was about to be angry, Ni Guangnan, who was watching the whole play on the other side, suddenly smiled and said, "Young man, don't speak so impulsively, you have to taste some words carefully, carefully, otherwise you will make a big mistake!" ”
Ni Guangnan's words made Krameil stunned, what is there to taste carefully in the words of a Chinese person?
However, Kramir instinctively began to recall what Boss Jia had just said, and then he understood.
He found that what Jia Yapeng just said was that it was absolutely impossible to sell two, but Huaxia must have a lithography machine, which means that in fact, Jia Yapeng only wants one, and the remaining one can still be given to him.
Now Krameil no longer dares to expect two lithography machines, and one lithography machine is actually enough, because for Intel, the sales of the really top CPU are not large, and one lithography machine is enough to meet the needs of the next six months or so.
After half a year, ASML will be able to produce more 70nm lithography machines, and it will not be too late to buy a second one.
So Kramere immediately said, "Mr. Jia, we are willing to buy a lithography machine from you for $120 million!" ”
"Haha, why bother? Let's sign the contract quickly! Boss Jia laughed and said something that made Kramir feel relieved.
But Kramir's face was still blue, and he originally planned to buy a piece of equipment for only $90 million, but he didn't expect to spend $120 million in the end, and he only bought back one piece of equipment, and Kramir didn't know what kind of punishment he would be punished by the company if he went back.
Expulsion may not be enough, but if you don't do it, you will be swept to the end.
——————————
"Xiao Jia, wouldn't it be good for us to buy two lithography machines and go back?" After Kramir left, Ni Guangnan said with a smile.
"What's the use of buying two days and going back? It's the same when you dismantle one and dismantle two, besides, we originally planned to buy only one, and buying two is a pure waste of money! Boss Jia said with a smile.
"What's more, I'm afraid this will seriously offend Intel, I still have some industries in the United States, so there's no need to make things so stiff!"
"If you don't sell it to them, I'm afraid the mass production speed of Intel's high-end CPUs will be reduced a lot!" Ni Guangnan sighed and said, "In this way, our market can also be affected later." ”
"It's useless. If it can be stuck for four or five years, then I will definitely not sell these lithography machines to Intel again, but ASML will be able to produce a new batch of lithography machines in half a year at most, and Intel will definitely buy it as soon as possible, and half a year will not mean anything to Huaxia. Boss Jia said lightly, and Ni Guangnan also nodded.
Indeed, it is no good to forcibly buy both lithography machines, it is better to give one to Intel, and this result is a good result for everyone.
It's just that Boss Jia and Ni Guangnan don't know that their ideas are still too beautiful.
Two days later, Jia Yapeng and Ni Guangnan returned to China.
Half a month later, all the export procedures of the lithography machine were completed, and the two lithography machines of AMSL boarded two different freighters and sent them to China and the United States respectively.
But Kramere stayed in the Netherlands, and after he saw the two freighters set sail separately, he immediately dialed a phone and said to the person on the phone, "Hello, is it the FBI of the United States, I am the purchasing director of the Intel Group, and I have important information to tell you!" ”
