Chapter 517 Are you really here to buy a lithography machine?
Asml is now very happy because Intel's representative Cramir came to negotiate with them.
After the prices of both sides reached a deadlock, Cramir had already needed to report to the company as a reason. He had not negotiated with him for a long time, but Asml was also very clear that this was just a contest with him, and he could see who could not stand it first.
Whoever proposes to restart price negotiations will naturally have a disadvantage in the negotiations.
Asml suddenly heard the invitation from Intel's representative to negotiate, and was naturally overjoyed and felt that this was his strategy that had come into effect. Asml already felt the pressure from the Chinese. They were afraid that the lithography machine would be bought by the Chinese, so they had to take the initiative to ask for negotiations with Asml. In this way, Asml would naturally have an advantage in price.
This made everyone in Asml very excited, so the vice president of Asml once again took action and negotiated with Intel as a representative of the company.
In fact, from the number and scale of the negotiations this time, we can see how perfunctory Asml was before, because this time Asml was a negotiation team of 12 people and negotiated with Intel. Compared with the two people who negotiated with Boss Jia before, it was a world of difference.
From this point of view, we can see that this time the negotiation of Asml is serious.
"Representative Cramir, this is our 9th negotiation. I think your company should show your sincerity!" At the beginning of the negotiation, the vice president of asml said very strongly.
"Oh! What is our sincerity?" Cramir asked in confusion.
"Of course it's sincerity in price!" said the vice president of asml. "Accept our $120 million offer. This is our lowest price, and there is no room for any decline!"
"Since that's the case, I can only tell you that $80 million is the highest price that Intel can accept, and we also have no room for any increase!" Cramir said very toughly.
Cramir's tough attitude made Asml feel a little confused. Didn't Intel take the initiative to resume negotiations this time? Why are they still so tough?
Well, it seems that the other party is a stubborn person and does not accept his fate yet. So the vice president of Asml said lightly, "If this is really the highest price that your company can accept, then I can only express very regretfully that this price negotiation may only be completely over, and we have nothing to talk about!"
"Oh? Could it be that your company has found a new buyer and is willing to accept a price of 120 million?" Cramir asked with a smile.
"This guy is asking knowingly!" Asml's vice president cursed in his heart, but said, "Yes, there are new companies now negotiating prices with us. We have had a very pleasant negotiation. The opponent has basically accepted a quotation of $120 million!"
"It's just that because we have always had a good cooperative relationship with Intel, Intel has been our largest customer of Asml since 1984. We don't want to damage the friendship between our two companies, so even if the other party has already had a similar talk with us, I am willing to give your company a chance!" Asml's vice president said very sincerely.
"Mr. President should be talking about those people from China!" Kranier asked with a smile.
"Hmph! Your information is quite well-informed!" The vice president of asml snorted. He was not surprised at Cramir's words. The other party must have known about the Chinese people, otherwise they would not have offered to negotiate prices.
"Since there are other people who are interested in lithography machines, why not invite them to come and talk together! See how much money the Chinese are willing to pay!" Cramir said with a smile.
"This is not suitable!" Asml's president's face sank. "Mr. Clavel, the principle that representatives of both sides have never gathered together on the same table to negotiate!"
"Then I can think that this Chinese company is just a entrusted by Asml. I want to fool our Intel and take the initiative to raise the price?" Cramir said with his eyes narrowed.
"Mr. Cramir, you can't say such things. Do you have any evidence?" The asml people panicked. They didn't expect that Cramir was really bad, and they actually took out all their thoughts.
"By the way, your company has used such means to force Intel to submit. It seems that no one in the world is willing to buy Asml lithography machines, otherwise you wouldn't have found a group of Chinese people to serve as a supporter!" Cramir continued to smile, and Asml's people had a dark face as if they were a piece of black charcoal.
"Okay, actually, this meeting, I just want to tell you that $80 million is our Intel bottom line, and we will never accept quotes above this price!"
"Okay, I'm done, please think about it!" After Cramir said that, he took the man to bow to the other party, and then walked out arrogantly.
"Bastard!" After the hungry people were exposed, the vice president of Asml threw the documents in his hand onto the desktop and cursed.
"It's all good ideas you have come up with. You can use Chinese people to threaten Intel. Now, it's fine. If someone else sees it through, our faces will be thrown away!" The vice president of asml cursed at his assistants.
Although these assistants complained in their hearts that they wanted to use the Chinese people's ideas, it was clearly proposed by the vice president himself, but now it has become the fault of their assistants.
However, these assistants obviously did not dare to refute the vice president. They could only listen to the vice president scolding him, until an assistant broke in recklessly and reported directly to the vice president Xiaoshen, saying, "President, those Chinese people are here, they ask when they can actually start price negotiations. They have not had much time to get visas, and they are about to return to China!"
"Get out, let them out, let them go back to China!" The vice president of asml couldn't help but cursed loudly. Just as the assistant nodded in fear and was about to go back to report, the vice president suddenly calmed down and muttered in his heart, "No, that guy from Intel is probably just testing me. If I drive away those Chinese people now, wouldn't I really fall into his trap!"
It was the vice president who immediately changed his words and ordered his subordinates to invite the Chinese to respectfully come to the conference room.
However, this time Asml has no interest in delaying the time, so he uses these Chinese people to put pressure on Intel. The vice president asked bluntly, "I don't know our offer, will the delegation accept it?"
The vice president asked this question, and at the same time, he was ready to give a very low price for Chinese people.
But what the vice president of Asml never expected was that Mr. Jia, the leader of the Chinese delegation, smiled and said, "The price of $150 million is still too expensive. We think $90 million is a suitable price!"
"What! $90 million!" The vice president of asml was stunned. These Chinese people actually made a offer, and it was a price of $90 million.
