Chapter 519 Kramir's Revenge
Cramir never thought about what to do if the Chinese really paid 180 million yuan, because in Cramir's opinion, the Chinese absolutely cannot pay out this huge sum of money. Even if they can really pay out, they would never buy such an advanced lithography machine.
In fact, Intel also thinks so, so after receiving Cramir's plan, Intel's headquarters agreed to Cramir's plan to borrow chickens and lay eggs after careful consideration.
Who would have thought that the Chinese actually planned to buy a lithography machine? They really took out 180 million US dollars. This 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, Chinese people were paupers in the Western mindset. It was normal for Intel to do such things.
[ps: This time the incident has a realistic basis. In history, Intel has done something to sell things cheaply in other people's name, but it was cheated by others.]
At this moment, Cramir didn't know how to report this to the headquarters. If Intel headquarters knew that both lithography machines were bought by Chinese people for $90 million, then Intel headquarters would definitely be furious, and he might be swept out of Intel and he would have become a laughing stock in the industry.
"No, I must change all this!" Cramir clenched his fists, then found Jia Yapeng next to 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, Cramir's heart was bleeding.
Because in Cramir's view, it was clear that the Chinese people had cheated him, but now he had to admit against his will to the Chinese people that this was a governance mistake and take the initiative to apologize to the Chinese people. This is simply a shame and humiliation.
But even so, Cramir's face was full of smiles, and he did not dare to show a hint of angry expression.
"Okay, no need to pretend, no need to apologize without sincerity!" Boss Jia smiled, then patted Cramir on the shoulder and said, "I know what you mean, but it is impossible to sell both devices to you!"
"We can offer a higher price!" Cramir's expression said with a grim expression, "100 million US dollars, I am willing to buy back both lithography machines at a price of 100 million US dollars each. Now you are satisfied, you can make a net profit of 20 million US dollars!!"
"No..." Jia Yapeng shook his head.
"Then it's $120 million, which is the limit I can reach personally. It's really impossible to get more!" Cramir's expression was almost crazy.
"Oh! It's a good price, which makes me so moved!" Boss Jia smiled slightly and said, "But Mr. Cramir, even if you raise the price to $150 million each, I will not sell you two lithography machines, because we in China need one of our own lithography machines!"
"Don't bully people too much, you..." Cramir was really about to explode. Just as he was about to be angry, Ni Guangnan, who was watching the show on the other side, suddenly laughed and said, "Young man, don't speak so hard. You have to savor some words carefully and carefully, otherwise you will make a big mistake!"
Ni Guangnan's words stunned Cramir. What should I think of the words of a Chinese person carefully?
However, Cramir instinctively began to recall what Boss Jia said just now, and then he realized it.
He found that what Jia Yapeng just said was that it is absolutely impossible to sell two units, but China 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.
This made Cramir feel like he was raining down from the sky. Now Cramir no longer dared to expect two lithography machines, and one lithography machine is actually enough, because for Intel, the sales of truly top CPUs are not large, and one lithography machine is enough to meet the needs of about six months.
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 Cramir immediately said, "Mr. Jia, we are willing to buy a lithography machine from you for a price of US$120 million!"
"Haha, why bother? Let's sign the contract quickly!" Boss Jia laughed and said something that made Cramir feel relieved.
But Cramir's face was still ashen. He originally planned to buy a device for only $90 million, but unexpectedly, he spent $120 million in the end and only bought one device. Cramir didn't know what punishment he would be punished by the company when he went back.
The fire may not be done, but maybe you will be beaten to the end.
"Xiao Jia, isn't it good for us to buy two lithography machines to go back?" Ni Guangnan said with a smile after Cramir left.
"What's the use of buying two days to go back? It's the same for dismantling one and two. Besides, we originally planned to only buy one. Buying two is a waste of money!" Boss Jia smiled.
"More importantly, this may seriously offend Intel. I still have some industries in the United States, so there is no need to make things so irresistible!"
"If you don't sell it to them, Intel's high-end CPU mass production speed will probably be much reduced!" Ni Guangnan sighed and said, "In this way, our market will be hit later."
"It's useless. If it can be stuck for four or five years, I will definitely not sell these lithography machines to Intel, but asml can produce a new batch of lithography machines in at most half a year. Intel will definitely buy it as soon as possible. Half a year will have no meaning to China." Boss Jia said lightly, and Ni Guangnan nodded.
Indeed, there is no benefit to forcibly buying both lithography machines. It is better to give one to Intel. This result is a good result for everyone.
But Boss Jia and Ni Guangnan didn’t know that their thoughts were still a little better.
Two days later, Jia Yapeng and Ni Guangnan returned to China.
Half a month later, all export procedures for the lithography machine were completed, and the two lithography machines of Amsl boarded two different freighters and were shipped to China and the United States respectively.
