Chapter 889: This is technical blackmail

Regarding that the negotiation is not led by Yang Jian, the Yang Hong Group has no opinion, because the leading person is Yang Jian’s son-in-law, Xu Mang, a professor at Fuda. In the eyes of these people, Xu Mang means nothing. Can't behave.
and,
Coupled with his international prestige, perhaps this price can come down.
"I heard that you have increased the price again. It was 2.4 billion US dollars before, but now it is 3 billion US dollars." Xu Mang asked curiously, "Why did you increase it to 3 billion US dollars? I hope you will give me a reasonable price. reason."
"Because of 3 billion U.S. dollars can we not lose money." Kawashima said seriously: "After all, we are taking risks to trade with you, most of which are risk costs. If we can trade 3 billion this time, then follow-up We will still provide the materials."
Xu Mang nodded his head and asked with a smile, "If it can't be 3 billion, you won't supply it in the future, right?"
"Uh..."
"This possibility exists." Kawashima said: "Our JSR will judge whether we will continue to supply according to the current international situation. As international trade frictions intensify, the intensity of the new round of sanctions will increase. You should understand what I mean."
Xu Mang did not speak, and sat quietly on a chair, looking at the current Kawashima. After a long time, he slowly said, "In fact, we don’t have the core technology and the ability to make photoresist materials. Increase the price?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
This time it’s JSR’s turn to stop talking. Facing Xu Mang to clarify the matter, many people feel helpless. There are some things that can’t be put on the surface. Everyone knows this, but Professor Xu does the opposite. Going by the way, this is obviously not good for him.
Kawashima saw that the matter was clarified, so he did not hide it, and generously admitted: "Yes... China does not have the ability to manufacture high-end photoresist materials, and our JSR is one of the few companies that have mastered this technology, so ...You know what I mean."
"understand!"
"This is an era in which whoever has mastered the technology has the right to speak. On this point, I know better than you." Xu Mang said with a smile: "I just came back from Oxfordshire, England. You should have read the news and know STM right?"
STM,
Scanning tunneling microscope.
Naturally, Kawashima knew that this incident seemed to be a big deal. The STM incident was that Professor Xu made China a world-class level in the STM field with only one person. China was still second-rate before.
but,
What does this have to do with this negotiation?
Is it possible that Professor Xu has mastered the technology of photoresist materials?
Not likely!
"The cost of this batch of materials is probably worth less than one billion U.S. dollars, right?" Xu Mang asked curiously: "The transaction price was one billion U.S. dollars for the same quantity last year."
"Ok!"
"Last year the international environment was relatively good, and there was no ban, but this year because of the US ban, the price increased to 3 billion." Kawashima became a little impatient. He felt that there was no progress in the negotiation and the other party seemed a bit unreasonable.
"Oh..."
"How about this."
"Originally, I couldn't suffer a loss, but this time I lost a little bit. How about selling us for 500 million dollars?" Xu Mang seemed to have made a major decision, and said with a painful face: "You make blood... "
"???"
"???"
"???"
Most of the JSR delegations at the scene understand Chinese, but after hearing Xu Mang’s words just now, everyone was lost in confusion and thought they had heard it wrong. However, it was not only JSR confusion, but also the people of Yang Hong Group. It is the same situation.
Kawashima asked with a dazed expression: "Xu...Mr. Xu, please repeat it again, I didn't hear clearly just now."
"Five hundred million!"
"Five hundred million sold to us." Xu Mang repeated, and said seriously: "Do you understand?"
"This..."
"Are you kidding?" Kawashima looked at Xu Mang in horror: "This...this is a very serious occasion. I hope you don't make such silly jokes."
"joke?"
"Am I a joking person?" Xu Mang said solemnly, "I originally planned not to pay."
I...
Still planning not to pay?
Want to get this batch of goods without paying?
Must be crazy!
at this time,
Wang Tao of the Yang Hong Group was a little caught off guard. He had no idea that things would develop into this situation. It seemed to be getting worse and worse. I am afraid that it will not be as simple as 3 billion US dollars later.
really,
Kawashima had a dark face, and said to Xu Mang, "Mr. Xu...Don't go too far. If you continue to make trouble like this, the price of this transaction will be four billion US dollars."
Hearing Kawashima's words, everyone in the Yang Hong Group, except Yang Jian, was helpless. This was completely done by themselves!
What is this,
Negotiations seem to fall apart.
However, in the face of Kawashima's threat, Xu Mang did not respond. He stared silently at the wretched man in front of him. From the face of analysis, this guy was an immoral person, but his luck was also bad.
I even encountered myself with a lower moral bottom line.
"I hope you will remember what you said later."
Words fall,
Xu Mang took out a tablet computer from his bag, and then clicked on a PPT file.
"This is a brand new photoresist material that I developed. It not only exceeds the world average in performance, but also is about half cheaper than yours in terms of manufacturing price." Xu Mang said with a smile, "You seem to be It's only F2 level, and we have reached EUV level."
"correct..."
"The technical fortress of EUV level is even higher. You will not be able to eat it in 20 years. Even if you have mastered EUV, as long as I am here, you will always be one level ahead of you!" Xu Mang said, "How is it? An accident is not an accident?"
moment,
There was silence in the conference hall. Everyone looked at Xu Mang in horror and at the tablet in his hand.
how is this possible...
how can that be?
They have mastered the core technology of photoresist materials?
The people of the JSR delegation looked at the tablet computer in Xu Mang's hand and didn't know what to do for a while.
"No...impossible!"
"How can you master such a technology!" Kawashima said incredulously: "It must be you who are so mysterious, I don't believe it..."
However, compared with the skeptical JSR delegation, the members of the Yang Hong Group are full of confidence at this time. They all believed what their uncle said, because his name is Xu Mang. For this reason alone, they can trust unconditionally. .
Snapped!
Xu Mang directly put the finished photoresist material on the table. This is the sample he got from the testing department and the sample that passed the test.
"This is a qualified sample."
"Give it to you... I will study it for you, anyway, I can't study anything, after all, only I know the core technology." Xu Mang said with a smile.
Seeing the glass bottle in front of me, everyone at JSR felt cold.
Finished,
It's all over!
Kawashima already believes Xu Mang's words and believes that he has successfully mastered more advanced technology than JSR.
Looking up at Xu Mang again, he felt that the young man in front of him was simply terrifying...How did he break through the technical barriers by this young man? Leading for more than ten years, suddenly this lead was surpassed.
"Ahem!"
"I'll go to a toilet."
"Oh..."
"Go to the toilet and discuss with your JSR headquarters." Xu Mang knew what Kawashima was going to do. At this time, he said slyly: "Let me remind you first, don't hold yourself as a technology monopoly, now. .. We are!"
"..."
moment,
Kawashima came to the toilet and called the JSR headquarters.
"President Kuroki!"
"A big event has happened. Yang Hong Group has mastered a more advanced photoresist material technology than us." Kawashima said.
Suddenly,
There was dead silence on the phone.
"what?!"
"You...what did you just say?" JSR chairman Kuroki asked in horror: "Yang Hong Group has mastered the photoresist material technology? And it is more advanced than us?"
"Correct!"
"Forgot to tell you that Mr. Yang's son-in-law is Xu Mang, the internationally renowned scientist." Kawashima said solemnly: "It was he who successfully broke through the technological fortress of photoresist materials, and then developed a more advanced EUV level than us. Photoresist material."
"This..."
"This..."
"Great scientist Xu Mang... turned out to be President Yang's son-in-law?" Hei Mu, who knew the truth, doubted life a little.
What's all this?
What a coincidence?
"Kawashima-kun?"
"Have you seen the photoresist material developed by Xu Mang?" Kuroki asked seriously.
"He has given me a bottle, so let me take it back and study it." Kawashima smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xu said... no matter how much we study, we can't study the doorway inside, and he will keep it. Leading technology, we don’t want to surpass him in this life."
Hearing what Kawashima said,
Kuroki is almost not crazy. Photoresist materials are one of JSR's profitable projects, accounting for almost a quarter of the profit. If you can't lead the technology, you can't imagine what it will be like in the future.
Xu Mang...
Xu Mang...
After scouring Oxfordshire just now, I turned around to scourge our JSR again.
President Kuromu was a little confused, didn’t know what to do next, thought for a long time, and said:
The higher the technology, the higher the production cost. I think our products still have a market, and even if they succeed in research and development. Resistance materials, but currently they cannot be mass-produced."
"Five billion dollars, slaughter the Yang Hong Group severely!" Kuroki said angrily.
"..."
"President Kuroki is sorry... Mr. Xu said that the EUV grade photoresist material he developed is half the price of our F2 grade." Kawashima sighed and said sadly: "If it is true, we... .We almost lost the entire market."
Kuroki is breaking down.
...
When Kawashima returned to the negotiating table, at this time, he had not looked like he was domineering before. In the face of Xu Mang, he could only cower and respectfully. After all, he was a legendary figure.
"Xu...Mr. Xu."
"Please forgive me for my reckless behavior." Kawashima said respectfully: "Chairman Kuroki said that we will sell you this transaction at a cost price of 800 million US dollars."
"what?"
"800 million?" Xu Mang was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure it is 800 million?"
at this time,
The people of the Yang Hong Group were overjoyed, this batch of raw materials actually only needs 800 million?
It's a profit!
"Yes!"
"800 million dollars, sold to you at cost price." Kawashima nodded.
