Lever's new product launch conference has been held for a month. Lever's preparations have been so thorough that other manufacturers in the world have not yet gotten over it. Lever's products are about to become a global phenomenon.
The situation is up.
In less than a month, Lever's products have spread all over the world, including in most major countries.
Neon Country was the first to feel the terror of Lever. Their computer chip sales almost showed a cliff-like decline this month.
Former purchasers would rather be sued by Neon Country than refuse to purchase the products agreed upon in the contract.
This is easy to understand. What is the use of buying a bunch of outdated chips? If they fulfill the contract, they will be seeking death. But if it is just a breach of contract, then they can just file a lawsuit. Anyway, it is not a company that breaches the contract. No matter what
In all matters, one law should be followed and no one should be blamed.
It is impossible for the Neon Country to file lawsuits door to door. If they really want to do that, the Supreme Court of the United States will not support them.
Not to mention this, I really have offended all the manufacturers. Do you want to do this again in the future? Therefore, Nikon and Hitachi and other companies have almost discharged all their business personnel and went to the other company to bow, hoping that the other party can continue
To fulfill the contract, they even took the initiative to lower the price to a very low level.
But even so, the market response is still not good.
The chip industry, which Neon Country was once proud of, suffered a dimensionality reduction blow due to the emergence of Lever.
The other party's chip production technology is two to three generations more advanced than theirs, so how can they do this?
Not only the chip manufacturers in Neon Country are panicking, but also the chip manufacturers in the United States are also panicking.
The representative company is Inter. Their technical reserves at this time are inferior to those of Neon Country. After learning about Lever's production process, Inter was first shocked, then panicked, and finally helpless.
But they are a company in the United States after all. For them, there is no advanced technology in the world that they cannot buy. So, after learning about Lever's chip process, they made a decisive decision to buy Lever's.
Core equipment such as photolithography machines.
Beijing, Lever Headquarters.
Today, the relationship between the two countries is on the rise, which makes Inter never thought that Lever would refuse to sell their most advanced equipment.
Of course, Zhao Ye could not refuse. This time, he was targeting Neon Country and was determined to kick Neon Country out of this industry.
"We would like to know, how much does your company quote for such a piece of equipment?" The representative of Inter Company first asked this question.
"Twenty million US dollars, a set of photolithography equipment, including the etching machine, only costs US$20 million." Gao Xiaojun received Zhao Ye's signal and quoted the price.
"Oh! God, this is too expensive. We decided that eight million US dollars is enough for you to make enough profits." In negotiation, no matter how much you offer, the other party will always lower the price.
"No, no, no, Mr. Robert, eight million is too low. You know, we invested a huge cost in early research and development, so in the early sales, we have to include this part of the research and development costs. I think. This
It’s very reasonable.”
"But what we will buy will be fifty sets of such equipment. Your research and development costs will not be 500 million US dollars, right? All the research and development costs will be borne by us. This is not fair." Robert settled the accounts for Gao Xiaojun.
.
"Mr. Robert, why do you think our R&D costs are so low? In order to develop this era-defining device, our company has invested huge R&D costs..."
There is no problem with Gao Xiaojun's words. After preparing the preliminary information, this guy's negotiation skills have skyrocketed. Now Zhao Ye basically just sits here and listens to him talking to the other party.
In the end, Lever sold 50 sets of equipment to Inter at a price of 18 million U.S. dollars each. But just after the agreement was reached, Zhao Ye spoke again.
"Gentlemen, I'm glad that we have become a true partner. However, I have a small suggestion that I hope you will be interested in." As soon as Zhao Ye's smile appeared, Gao Xiaojun knew that this guy was going to take risks.
"Dr. Zhao, do you have any suggestions? Of course we are interested." Robert respected Zhao Ye very much. It was this god-like man who single-handedly rewrote the structure of the world's chip market.
As a practitioner, Robert did not dare to ignore any of Zhao Ye's opinions.
"Mr. Robert, actually I have a concern. The chip industry is a very narrow industry, and it cannot accommodate too many companies crowded here. So why don't we establish a closer alliance? We are no different from the United States and Europe.
market, but we will be proactive in markets in other regions. In this way, we can avoid unnecessary internal competition and damage the interests of both of us."
After listening to Zhao Ye's words, Robert felt like his hair was standing on end. Inter is not currently the leader in the market. Now, Dr. Zhao actually proposed to join forces with Inter to carve up the world. Such news was sent back to the company headquarters. He believed that,
The CEO of Inter will fly here as soon as possible to discuss with Dr. Zhao.
For inter, this is a rare opportunity. It can even be said that this is the choice that determines inter's survival and death. Once Lever wants to cooperate with other companies to carve up the world, they will not even have a chance to breathe.
This is no exaggeration at all. As long as Lever refuses to sell lithography machines to itself, they will immediately become a second- or even third-rate chip company in the world.
"Dr. Zhao, I will fully express your suggestions to the president of our company. I think you can prepare for the meeting with him." Robert's posture was very low. This does not mean that he is very confident.
Modesty, but the fact that he had to do so.
At this time, or even in the next one to two years, no one can shake Li Hua's status, and no one can shake Zhao Ye's status.
A week later, the president of inter company flew to Beijing International Airport with a team of more than 20 people.
Just as they were about to get off the plane, they saw a private jet from the United States parked on a parking bay next to them.
"Kelly, has any big shot visited China recently?" President Rhys Ivins asked his accompanying secretary.
Kelly was stunned by her boss's question, and then she thought about it. After thinking about it, she didn't expect that there was such news in the recent news.
"Boss, there is no such thing."
Kelly's words made Evans feel nervous. Could it be that some of his colleagues came over to cut him off?
When Ivins came to Lever headquarters with a slightly uneasy mood, he met President Osido of Grumman Company. This made his heart relax a little. He knew that Grumman
The story of an arms giant like Grumman, a partnership between Mann and Lever, switching to selling aphrodisiacs in the United States has almost become a joke in the capital world. However, when the first month’s sales results came out, everyone
I can't even laugh anymore.
Ivins was just about to say hello to the other party when he heard Zhao Ye's words: "Grumman is going to enter the information field. Of course I support it. Just as it happens, I have invited the president of Inter Group here today and we will talk together.
Bar."
Let’s talk together? This is not a good sign!
Ivins's heart, which he had just let go, was lifted up again.
