"October 17th is the disaster day for Princeburg Optoelectronics Laboratory. On this day, it encountered the most terrifying and despicable invasion. A shameless illegal man broke into the high-tech laboratory in the most brutal manner and eventually destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars of precious instruments and immeasurable documents."

"This is the loss of the Princeburg Optoelectronics Laboratory, this is the loss of the Netherlands, and it is the loss of all mankind! No matter your nationality, skin color and race, you should join us to rebuke and oppose this crime!"

"But fortunately, God is still caring for us. In the week after the disaster, I truly felt the truth, goodness and beauty of the world. In this week, we received a total of more than 200 million US dollars in donations from all over the world. This is the confrontation between civilization and barbarism. Here, I promise everyone that we will..."

The head of Princeburg Optoelectronics Laboratory publicly expressed his gratitude to all donors at a press conference and said that they will make good use of the donation to develop the next generation of more advanced lithography machines as soon as possible.

As this news came out, the whole of the Netherlands and the whole world were in full swing, and they were ecstatic for creating this miracle by themselves. Some media even said that this was a great victory for civilization against barbarism.

However, only those who know the inside story know that more than one-third of the donations of more than two hundred million US dollars were the lithography machine money given by Zhou Ming, a barbaric destroyer, and one-third were the money paid by the old Earl Princeburg and his partners themselves. Only the last third was the real donation.

In fact, when this donation was first launched, there were many people watching the fun and echoing the indignation, but few people actually responded positively. After all, most people do not understand the lithography machine or the significance of Princeburg Optoelectronics Laboratory. For ordinary people, a laboratory that doesn’t know what is probably not as important as a prime TV series on weekend nights.

This made the old earl a little worried. Weisler asked Zhou Ming on behalf of the old earl. Zhou Ming told him the classic line in the bullet flying: "Let the gentry take the lead. Only when the gentry donates will the people follow them. After the matter is completed, the gentry's money will be returned in full, and the people's money will be paid in 30% to 70% of the money."

Weissler obviously did not ask them why they were only 70% confident, nor did they have the courage to make money while standing. He immediately went back and brought the news to the old earl.

The old Count immediately understood Zhou Ming's meaning, so early the next morning, a number of nobles and entrepreneurs led by the King of the Netherlands generously donated to Princeburg Optoelectronics Laboratory in various names. Various media reported it extensively, and a gust of storm began to spread around the world. The old Count received more and more real donations, and finally added one to more than 200 million US dollars.

Of course, the whole donation process was not completely smooth. Since Opold guessed the reason behind the donation, he could not sit idly by and watch Zhou Ming pay so easily.

So he instructed the newspaper to expose the laboratory to direct and act in this so-called invasion drama, saying that he was simply a deception; however, as a grand throne, the resources he possessed were of course not comparable to those of the old Count, not to mention that the old Count also brought the king and a number of noble entrepreneurs. As a community of interests, they knew what was going on, and they would choose to help the old Count to the end.

Opold's public opinion was soon overwhelmed, and he was angry

He found someone to attack a donation site, and then the cunning old earl immediately organized public opinion to condemn this behavior, and even linked the impact incident with the invasion incident.

This aroused more people's indignation and increased the enthusiasm for donation that had already begun to fade.

"I want to expose the fact that AWSL violated the ban and sold lithography machines to Huaxia without authorization. I said I should stop this guy from trading no matter what I said!"

On the phone, Opold was still roaring, but this time, Beya no longer ignored the phone because of noisyness. Beya patiently said to him: "Even if you say it, it is useless. From the moment the freighter left the port, you can no longer track down the whereabouts of the lithography machine. The only thing we can do is to prevent the old earl from using the caution to prevent Zhou Ming from paying, but now this has failed..."

"But the installation and maintenance technicians have not been sent out yet, we still have a chance!" Opold said dissatisfiedly.

"Do you really think there is still a chance?" Boya asked him, "In my opinion, sending these people is much easier than shipping lithography machines. First of all, you cannot determine which technicians are, and you cannot restrict them from leaving the country..."

"So are we going to give in now?" Opold interrupted Bear again.

Opold refused to admit defeat like this. After all, the contract that was related to 300 million francs was not possible. He could not imagine what consequences would be if this matter was exposed, so he began to plan how to expose the whole matter.

But before Opold could do anything, his father learned the news first, came over and taught him a lesson, and then took the initiative to find Zhou Ming.

At this time, the Anrip exhibition had already ended, but because the lithography machine matter was not completely resolved, Zhou Ming did not rush back and was still staying in the Royal Hotel. At noon that day, the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Oslan, took Opold to the restaurant prepared by Zhou Ming and Caitlin.

Even though they knew what they would face when they came here, Oslan and Opold felt extremely embarrassed when they saw Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming and Caitlin naturally and enthusiastically welcomed the father and son, and invited them to sit down and have a meal first.

After the two sides sat down to have a meal and greeted each other for a while, Oslan took the initiative to mention their contract: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I personally respect the spirit of the contract. It's just that your contract with Opold is more like an impulse bet by a young man, so do you think we can make some changes?"

Compared to the embarrassing father and son of Oslan and Opold, Zhou Ming and Caitlin had long understood the purpose of their arrival. They were not surprised to hear him suddenly mention this matter, but they did not respond and looked as if they were thinking and embarrassed.

How could Oslan not understand what this means? He cursed Zhou Ming in his heart, but said to Zhou Ming with a smile on his face: "Of course I know that this contract was signed in full view of you. I can't cancel the contract so simply, and I will give you some compensation."

"First of all, for the first batch of goods that have been paid in the contract, we still want and still have the price on the contract, and this will not change."

Oslan also said: "Secondly, I know you are working in a chip company. Although you have solved the key equipment of lithography machines, it does not mean that you can build the entire production line well. There are still some problems in the middle, but it just so happens that I am in the sea.

He is very familiar with this part of a foreign investment company, so in order to show his sincerity, I can provide the best technical support for your chip factory."

Oslan hesitated for a moment before saying, "And what do you think about the equipment worth five million francs that we gave you for free?"

Zhou Ming then reacted like he woke up from a dream, and then apologized repeatedly: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Your Majesty, did you say just now? You are so polite. Actually, I was just having fun with His Highness Opold. How could I really sell you so many chips at that price? I am still very reasonable!"

Facing Zhou Ming's righteous look, Oslan was already cursing her madly. Everyone is adults. Can you take a snack when acting? At least you can restrain the slutty smile on your face. Who can tell if you are always like this?

Oslan was so angry that he vomited blood, but he still had to make a generous and indifferent expression on his face.

What can I do? Whoever asked his son to dig such a big hole would either accept a loss of nearly 200 million francs, or he would just give up his old face and Luxembourg's reputation and cheat on this contract.

Obviously, these two are impossible for me to accept.

Therefore, Oslan could only say with great pride: "Mr. Zhou Ming is of course a reasonable businessman, but it is precisely this reason that we cannot let you suffer a loss!"

Zhou Ming expressed his gratitude to Oslan. After the negotiation, Oslan also caught Opold in front and asked him to apologize to Zhou Ming in person. When Zhou Ming faced the apology, he also said generously: "As young people, it is inevitable to be competitive and impulsive. As long as you learn from your mistakes, you will be wise."

This time Opold is autistic. You should know that Opold is older than Zhou Ming. As a result, Zhou Ming is still in front of him, but he still has the attitude of an elder. But he still has to bear it.

So the dinner ended with Zhou Ming's autism with Oslan Opold and his son. The two father and son left the hotel like escape.

After the dinner, Zhou Ming immediately found Shen Baishi and told him the agreement reached at the dinner, asking him to seize the time to find Oslan to bring the technical planning and related equipment back to China as soon as possible.

When Shen Baishi heard that Zhou Ming had a meal and talked about such an important project cooperation, no matter how prepared he was, he still praised Zhou Ming's magic. He only exchanged Zhou Ming for a contract of 300 million francs for less than 10 million projects and equipment, which felt a bit worthless.

"It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. No matter how much money is, there will always be a time to spend it. Only technology and equipment are important. We have no experience in being a chip factory. It is always much better to have someone to take care of it than to fumble around ourselves."

Zhou Ming explained to Shen Baishi, and he also said: "And the grand duke of Luxembourg has come forward in this matter. Can we not give this step? If he really pushes him out of trouble, do you really think we can receive the money? Under the premise of being able to discuss, of course he will care about his face and Luxembourg, but if he really reaches that point, I don't think he will have no means at all."

"So instead of just getting a waste of money, it is better to make as much as possible. Anyway, it's all just to make money." Zhou Ming said.

Chen Baishi gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up.
