The sentence "It is better to be indiscriminate than lacking" not only explains Li Siwen's attitude, but also reflects the current situation of China's science and technology field from the side.

Despite the fact that Li Siwen was very tough during negotiations, sometimes he thought his products were backward and sometimes he thought they were too expensive, but the actual situation was that even one product provided by the other party would have a certain impact on the whole of China.

Li Siwen himself knew that he was just a big liar.

After chatting with Xu Di and others for a while, Li Siwen returned to the presidential suite and stood in front of the window. He couldn't help but take out the cigarette, but before he could light it, Xu Weiwei snatched it away.

"Smoke less." Xu Weiwei rolled her eyes, handed over a cup of coffee and said, "This is not like we are in trouble."

Even Xu Weiwei knew when Li Siwen would smoke.

"Isn't this troublesome enough?" Li Siwen replied.

"I think the negotiation is going well. Although Cotre has not agreed yet, people still need time to think about it. And you said that you have talked to Vice Mayor Xu, so there is almost no problem." Xu Weiwei said in a loud voice.

"I'm just trying to comfort everyone." Li Siwen sighed softly and said, "Actually, I have shown the Japanese Nikon trump card today, but judging from Cotre's performance, his attitude is still quite determined and successful.

The probability will not exceed 30%."

"This...is this too low?" Xu Weiwei was a little surprised...

"Yes, it's very low." Li Siwen took a sip of coffee: "So I've been thinking about how to turn this situation around."

At this time, the sparrow sitting far away said: "It is not easy to change Cotre's mind. Even if it is not subject to export control, they may not sell the equipment to us."

"Why do you say that?" Li Siwen was slightly curious.

"You are such a smart person, can't you figure this out? You are a competitor of Philips. Cotre clearly feels the threat from you. From VCD chips to DVD chips, Philips doesn't even have the ability to fight back. If you put it again,

After giving up advanced production lines, can they still be competitive?

I think Cotre is not afraid of selling Chinese equipment, he is just afraid of you and the Tang Dynasty." Sparrow analyzed seriously.

Li Siwen was stunned at first, and then asked slightly surprised: "Little sparrow, your analysis is good, how did you see it?"

"From the look in his eyes." Sparrow didn't hide anything: "He is very wary of you."

"It makes sense." Li Siwen touched his chin, muttered a few words in a low voice and went into the bedroom. This made Xu Weiwei a little puzzled: "What did he think of?"

"Who knows." Sparrow shrugged his shoulders.

In the next few days, the negotiations continued as usual. Xu Di and Hu Lixin contacted the first six companies one after another. The talks went very smoothly. Although they were still competing with each other on price, it was only a matter of time before they signed the contract.

, the rest is on-the-spot investigation.

As for Li Siwen, he also held talks with Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Zeiss and other companies. Although these companies are more conservative, they are not as determined as Philips in selling advanced equipment. As long as the price is in place, the equipment will definitely not be sold.

problematic.

This also confirmed Sparrow's analysis from the side. Although Cotray talked about peace talks on the surface, he was actually wary of Li Siwen.

Therefore, Li Siwen has not received any news from Cotre these days, and even the 0.5 micron production line has not made any progress. Obviously, both parties are waiting for someone to compromise.

On April 12, 1996, there were only three days left before the one-week deadline mentioned by Li Siwen, which meant that he would leave the Netherlands for Japan on April 15.

That evening, at a private club in the Netherlands, Boente met with the CEOs of Yannis (Xizhe Technology) and Coles (German SAG). These companies were also the ones he introduced to Li Siwen, and they were in the process of introducing them to Li Siwen.

Several companies introduced it to a Taiwanese semiconductor company.

Obviously, Boente has good relationships with several companies, and he can get a lot of kickbacks for this.

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry. The technologies of the companies I'm introducing to you are quite good. Even if they are not as good as your TSMC, they will beat Foxconn." Boente boasted while drinking whiskey:

"I can tell you frankly that we are also negotiating with Chinese businessmen these days. They offer the same price, and at most they can only buy outdated products."

Mr. Zhao has a slicked back hair, shiny hair wax, and a glowing face. He is none other than Zhao Jian.

He asked slightly drunkenly: "Chinese businessman? Which Chinese businessman? You are not fooling me, are you?"

"Of course not. The leader of the Chinese businessman is named Li Siwen, and he is still living in the Crown Hotel. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate," said Boente.

"Li Siwen?" When Zhao Jian heard these three words, his expression suddenly turned cold, and the wine glass in his hand slammed on the table.

This attitude startled Boente, and he asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhao, do you know him?"

"It's more than just acquaintance." Zhao Jian gritted his teeth and said, "He and I have a deep hatred and we are irreconcilable."

"This..." Boente said cautiously: "What's going on?"

"This Li Siwen used to be my business partner. I occupied 10% of their company's shares. But when the company became bigger, he secretly joined forces with other shareholders to kick me out. I went to Taiwan with my family.

For what? Just to get revenge on him one day." After Zhao Jian finished speaking, he looked at the many foreigners with an angry look and said: "I tell you, no matter what price Li Siwen offers, you cannot cooperate with him, otherwise our business will disappear.

The law has been discussed."

After hearing Zhao Jian's first sentence, Boente was a little skeptical, but after hearing the second sentence, he was completely convinced that Zhao Jian had a deep hatred for Li Siwen.

Boente immediately smiled: "Mr. Zhao, don't be angry. We are all businessmen, and we must put profits first. And even if we cooperate with each other, it does not mean that we have a close relationship with them. To be honest,

We have also been studying how to deal with that kid."

"You also have a grudge against him?" Zhao Jian asked curiously.

"That Li Siwen is arrogant, arrogant, and always doing little things. Not only me, but also my network of people hate him," said Boente.

"That's right, he is just that kind of person." Zhao Jian immediately expressed his position: "If you need my help, don't be polite, I will definitely use all my means to help you."
