Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 360: Poverty limits imagination, the three countries hold joint maritime military exercises

"You guys have been waiting for a long time."

Chen Xing walked into the office.

Li Zhenzhen, who was chatting in the negotiation area, and the three German representatives quickly stood up and waited for Chen Xing to take his seat.

The German representative on the outermost side, Conor Pain, smiled and introduced himself to Chen Xing: "Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Conor Pain. I am the Minister of Commerce of Germany. I also participated in this "5G High-speed Internet Conference".

"Well! I'm impressed. Welcome."

Chen Xing shook hands with him.

Conor Paine is a tall and thin middle-aged man of 1.85 meters. Perhaps he has the habit of exercising. His body proportions are very good, which can be seen even through his shirt.

In addition, the facial features of European and American white people are generally clear and highly recognizable, so Chen Xing is still impressed by him.

The two briefly shook hands, and the other two German representatives extended their hands one after another and introduced themselves: "Paul Deliman, Minister of Communications."

"Hello."

"Eric Kermanton, attorney."

"Hello."

After Chen Xing shook hands with the three of them, he also sat on one side of the negotiation area.

After just briefly introducing himself, he understood that the German delegation came with sincerity. After all, the lawyers were here.

After sitting down, Chen Xing did not rush to negotiate, but looked at the table, then moved to Li Zhenzhen and said, "Where are those contract documents?"

"I put it on your desk."

Li Zhenzhen answered quickly.

The two communicated in Chinese, which neither Conor Pain nor Paul Deliman could understand, but Eric Cermanton, an international foreign-related lawyer, understood it and quickly called the two. Eyes, communication situation.

Paul Deleman and Eric Kermanton are not stupid either. Although they can't understand what Chen Xing and Li Zhenzhen are saying, their body language and eye expressions tell them that they are talking about the island country contract. things.

Because Li Zhenzhen just put away the contract documents on the desktop in front of them and placed them in the office area near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The exchange between Chen Xing and Li Zhenzhen was actually just a joke. The purpose was very simple, to deepen the German delegation's impression of the suspected island country signing contract document.

Anyone who has done business or knows about real estate will know this.

If the business is not doing well, or if the house or car cannot be sold, someone will be hired to put on a show, causing customers who really want to buy to have an "anxiety mentality" and do impulsive things.

To lay the "foreshadowing" for the German delegation, Chen Xing also switched to English, looked at Conor Payne and said: "It's almost 2:30 in the morning, I think we need to get straight to the point."

"I think so too." Conor Pain agreed, and then continued: "Then let's be more direct. We have ready inventory for the supply of photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafer production equipment."

"How do you want to sell it? Direct sale, or are there any conditions attached?"

Chen Xing asked.

Conor Paine did not give in and continued to hit the fairway: "Of course there are additional conditions, similar to the island country representative."

His words were actually a test to find out what contract the island country delegation signed.

As a veteran at the negotiation table, Chen Xing thought quickly and said with a smile: "It seems that you also want to give priority to the supply of 5G baseband chips, but this depends on your sincerity."

"Sure enough, chip supply will be given priority."

Conor Paine, Paul Deliman, and Eric Kermanton all believed in their inner thoughts.

They came to Longxing Technology late at night, eager to discuss with Chen Xing. In addition to being afraid of long nights and dreams, they were also afraid of American spy agents. They could only supply equipment to Longxing Technology secretly, but not in a big way.

After sorting out his thoughts, Conor Paine also responded to Chen Xing: "Of course we are sincere. How about this? The island country supplies several sets of equipment, and we also supply several sets. I just hope that Mr. Chen will treat everyone equally."

"Still testing."

Chen Xing murmured in his heart.

In addition to being a test, Conor Paine's words also revealed an important piece of information, that is, "complicity."

Even if what happened tonight is known to the U.S. intelligence agency, Germany can also say that the island country is also involved. The two companies supply the same amount of equipment. When the U.S. takes action, the two countries can negotiate together.

But Conor Paine would not have thought that the island delegation did not sign the contract at all. They were frightened by the United States' methods. The current negotiation was a trap dug for them by Chen Xing.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xing responded calmly: "Originally, I promised the representatives of the island country to keep the contents of the contract confidential, but since they are so sincere and come to visit late at night, I will make an exception and break the rules. "

After expressing his dilemma, he continued: "If we go by the contract standards signed by the representatives of the island countries, within one month, they guarantee to deliver at least ten equipment production lines for photoresist and semiconductor silicon wafers."

"Ten items?"

Conor Paine was stunned.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He had some self-doubt and said, "It's not like I mentioned it too much..."

However, the next second, Conor Paine made a V gesture and said seriously: "We have twenty equipment production lines, please give us the 5G baseband chip first."

He changed his mind.

I thought that the island would provide fifty equipment production lines, or even hundreds, but unexpectedly it agreed to ten. This was beyond the expectations of Conor Paine, Paul Deliman, and Eric Kermanton. Unexpectedly, they also changed their minds.

Fuck the same supply, treat everyone equally, they want priority supply!

Chen Xing was stunned.

Now Li Zhenzhen is also confused.

Chen Xing was stunned because buying equipment had never been so smooth.

You must know that Longguo companies basically have a long waiting period and review period when purchasing equipment in the semiconductor field.

To put it bluntly, it’s a purchase restriction.

Whether it is Germany or an island country, both companies have been clearly warned not to allow private sales of production equipment in the semiconductor field.

Not just production equipment, but also photolithography machines.

After the Dutch ASML company completes the assembly, each order needs to be reviewed by the American commissioner, and shipment will only be allowed after confirming that there are no problems.

It is precisely because of many restrictions that Longguo companies want to obtain extra production equipment, so they can only piece it together through various ways, including sourcing parts and assembling them themselves.

Now Chen Xing is like a starving ghost who picked up Aladdin's magic lamp and wished for something to fill his stomach. As a result, instead of buns and buns, he was given a full banquet. I have never seen this scene before.

Li Zhenzhen was a little confused. She originally thought that Chen Xing would mention a hundred sets of equipment, and then talk slowly until they reached 60 sets of equipment. In the end, he only mentioned ten sets, which was beyond her expectation.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit reasonable.

How do you say that?

Poverty limits your imagination.

For example, farmers who live in rural areas and have three simple meals a day, the most delicious thing they have ever eaten is probably the wedding banquet hotel dishes when someone in the village gets married and invites them to drink. They cannot imagine the deliciousness of the state banquet dishes, let alone imagine them. , a dish needs to be cooked for seven days, or even half a month to taste.

Chen Xing realized that his imagination was limited, his brain thought quickly, and he calmly said for himself:

"Are you going to double the supply of equipment production lines to us? According to the contract signed with the island country, you have to supply 60 sets of equipment in the second month, and 40 sets in the third month. In total, you need to supply We supply one hundred and twenty sets of production equipment, Minister Conor Payne, you have to think carefully before saying this.”

"I see."

Conor Paine, Paul Deliman, Eric Kermanton reacted.

It turns out that the contract signed by the island country representative and Chen Xing is not only for the supply of ten sets of production equipment, but also for the subsequent supply of large quantities of equipment, which makes sense.

"The cautious trading in the early stage is indeed like the style of Japanese companies." Conor Payne thought carefully in his mind.

After a special look with the two of them, he also made a decision: "No problem, when will the 5G baseband chips be available?"

What Germany and the island countries lack most is equipment. Their domestic achievements in high-precision machinery lead the world.

Not to mention supplying 120 sets of equipment in three months, even 300 sets can be manufactured by working overtime.

It's just that it's hard to tell the US side about supplying it with such a big fanfare.

Seeing that the other party was so cheerful, Chen Xing also wanted to add fuel to the fire and finalize the deal: "Within three months, within three months, I will supply you with the first batch of 5G baseband chips, and the quantity will be no less than one million."

Paul Delimann, the German Minister of Communications who had not spoken for a long time, winked and almost told Conor Pain. The latter naturally understood the former's meaning and was afraid that Chen Xing would regret it:

"Then it's settled. Within three months, we will supply you with 120 sets of semiconductor wafer and photoresist production equipment each, and you will provide us with 5G baseband chips within three months, and ensure that the quantity remains constant. Less than one million."

"Can."

Chen Xing responded directly.

He was already happy.

But at the negotiation table, he did not show any emotion, because any change in his demeanor may lead to disaster. This is why some rich people have to control their expressions even when they smile, giving people a stiff feeling.

Do they really not laugh?

Not really.

I just don’t want to be caught emotionally.

Li Zhenzhen on the side had to admire Chen Xing's ability to smooth things over. He thought he was going to be a gangster, but he could get everything back and increase supply capacity month by month. This is indeed very normal.

"Since Mr. Chen agrees, let's discuss the price of the equipment?" Conor Pain asked.

You must know that a set of photoresist production equipment is not just a machine, but a set is equivalent to a production line.

If you want to assemble a production line, you must have R\u0026D equipment and testing equipment.

R\u0026D equipment includes mixing kettles, high-efficiency filtration equipment, coating machines, high-temperature drying ovens, uniform speed mixers, etc.

Test equipment includes ICP-MS, film thickness meter, spin coater, developer, LPC, mass spectrometry, GPC, etc.

Because the equipment required to form a production line was too numerous, Chen Xing only proposed ten sets of production equipment at the beginning. Poverty really limited his imagination.

"Then let's discuss the price." Chen Xing nodded and moved the teacup in front of him.

The three German representatives came up with a detailed list of equipment, which listed the prices and product advantages of each equipment.

He had already made a fool of himself just now. When Chen Xing got the detailed list of equipment, he handed it directly to Li Zhenzhen and said: "Zhenzhen, you are in charge of international market trade, so I will leave it to you to discuss. I have something to go out for a meeting with." ”

"OK."

Li Zhenzhen didn't point it out.

It is a kind of wisdom not to show off your skills in matters that are in your own knowledge blind area, but to leave them to more professional people.

Just like the film and television industry, the TV series and movies from 2003 to 2009 all showed an extremely high level, making people never tire of it.

But in recent years, the film and television industry has continued to produce bad movies, and only promotes a rice circle culture. Why does this happen?

The summary is that the investors interfered with the filming!

In the past, film and television investors were all coal bosses. After suddenly becoming rich, they were physically empty. Naturally, they wanted to pursue beauty in the film and television industry with good looks.

To put it bluntly, they invest only to find female stars and do not interfere with the operation of the crew.

As coal bosses become history, film and television investors have gradually become venture capital. They will not only send supervisors to the scene according to their own ideas, but also request changes to the script. Directors have to look at other people's faces.

No matter which field, if there is no decision-maker who can make the final decision, then their team will inevitably fail. The current film and television industry with endless bad movies is an example.

Chen Xing is not worried about Li Zhenzhen's negotiation skills. As a red quality talent, her abilities can definitely be trusted.

And at the same time.

the other side.

Chauncey Rocket Launch Center.

As the head of the launch center and the head of the shadow reconnaissance force, Zhao Chenguang was the first to receive the news that the Beixi Pipeline had been bombed. At this time, he was reporting the specific situation to the old leader.

"The Nord Stream pipeline was bombed, and both Mao Xiong and Germany can't sit still. I heard that Mao Xiong is going to send Chechen troops to retaliate. In addition, Germany has announced that it will expand its navy for national defense."

"call--"

The old chief on the other end of the phone exhaled a puff of green smoke. He frowned, took another puff from the old-fashioned pipe, and exhaled heavily: "It's a mess, but this is something that must be experienced."

Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon.

There is no dignity that can be negotiated, and the status of international exchanges is not given by others, but depends entirely on one's own national strength.

If the Dragon Kingdom wants to achieve rejuvenation and regain the strong national power of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it must be "strong". If the enemy wants to be tough, then it must be tougher than them.

The old leader, who had an ordinary and kind face, paused for a moment, then said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Contact Mao Xiong to hold a naval military exercise and show off the Long-20."

"Dragon-20?"

Zhao Chenguang suddenly became energetic.

Although the Dragon-20 has announced specific parameters and some fragmented video footage collected by the US intelligence agency, its actual flight and combat capabilities are still a mystery.

In modern warfare, fighter planes and warships are the most important weapons and armaments, and their main purpose is to make the enemy defenseless.

The fighter aircraft that the Dragon-20 competes with is none other than the American ace fighter Raptor F22!

If it appears in maritime military exercises, it will definitely shock the world.

"Well, it's Long-20. I'll leave this matter to you. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up the phone first."

"Okay old chief."

When the call was hung up, Zhao Chenguang swallowed and said: "I didn't expect that after so many years, the old chief's temper was still so tough, and things were gradually getting out of control."

"Forget it, execute the order." Zhao Chenguang didn't think much and directly called Mao Xiong's senior officers to discuss the military exercise.

When Officer Mao Xiong heard this, he almost hit it off and responded.

Perhaps many people feel that military exercises are of little use, and do not know why military exercises are sometimes held frequently.

In fact, the real purpose of joint military exercises is not to conduct military exercises, but to send a "special" signal to the world.

For example, if the Beixi Pipeline was bombed this time, if the Long and Xiong families announced a military exercise, it would mean that the two sides had released a signal of cooperation and also expressed a message of wartime alliance.

Another point is that military exercises may sometimes turn into military operations.

During the Gulf War, the United States declared at the time that mobilizing aircraft carriers was just a maritime exercise and had no other meaning.

But when news suddenly came out that the military exercise was going to turn into a military war, Iraq didn't have much time to prepare. It could only hurriedly mobilize the torrent of steel to resist it. The result was that it was completely crushed.

This is why, when some countries hold joint maritime exercises, there will always be a third party to monitor them, for fear that the aircraft carrier will not even know it is happening at home.

After reaching a consensus on maritime military exercises with Mao Xiong, Zhao Chenguang called Song Weiguo again to remind him to prepare.

Since it is a military exercise with Mao Xiong, it must be from the northern war zone. After all, the two families are not far apart. It would be a bit expensive to mobilize troops from other war zones.

Apart from anything else, Song Weiguo was still very good at military exercises.

"I know, it's just time to debut the latest Tianlong fighter."

"What it is?"

Zhao Chenguang was puzzled.

Let you debut the Dragon-20, and you will fly the Dragon fighter all day long?

Song Weiguo did not sell it, and explained: "It's the Dragon-20, but it's a modified version. All the bombs in the bomber cabin have been changed to suicide drones, which can achieve high-altitude precision target bombing. Anyway, you will know when the time comes."

"Mysterious."

Zhao Chenguang couldn't help but complain.

He didn't take too much care. Anyway, it was up to the Northern Military Region to decide how to conduct military exercises.

While the two were talking, the old leader was not idle and directly called the German senior officials to discuss cooperation between the two parties.

Longguo’s infrastructure is world-famous, and this is a business card handed to the world.

The Beixi Pipeline was blown open. It may be difficult for Germany and Mao Xiong to repair it, but Longguo is different. It is certain that it will be plugged within three months.

However, in the face of the old leader's self-recommendation, the German senior management expressed bitterness: "We have already talked with the bear. Even if the gap in the pipeline is plugged, there is still a risk of being exploded. It is a bit of a temporary solution but not the root cause."

"So you are now?"

the old chief asked.

German senior officials did not hide anything and responded: "We plan to ship by sea, but the transportation cost will increase significantly, but it can solve the urgent need."

Thinking of this, the old chief made a bold decision: "We have discussed with Mao Xiong a joint maritime military exercise. Perhaps we can change the two parties into a tripartite military exercise."

"Three-party maritime military exercise?" The German senior officials' eyes lit up, and they immediately understood what the old leader meant, and responded: "I will discuss it now and give you an answer later."

"do your stuff."

"Then we'll talk."

"Chat back."

The two parties hung up the phone, and the old chief sat back on his recliner, still holding the ordinary-looking old-fashioned cigarette in his hand.

If two companies are not enough, then three. He does not believe that the United States is really so arrogant.

In a sense, Germany's strength is not inferior to that of the five permanent members.

But don’t think that if its troops have personnel control, they will not be strong if they have weapons control.

If the S3 season really starts, it will definitely be able to gather no less than 300,000 soldiers in the shortest possible time, and domestic machinery factories will be able to produce military equipment as soon as possible.

There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This is a perfect way to describe Germany today.

Dragon Kingdom Internet.

Weibo information platform.

Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.

Although it is already early in the morning, the number of people staying up late to surf the Internet has not decreased but has increased. A large number of melon-eating netizens have gathered online.

At this time, the top ten hot searches on Weibo were all for the word "explosion".

No. 1: The Nord Stream pipeline was bombed.

Second place: Super gold mine discovered in South Africa.

Third place: The U.S. dollar index hit a record high.

Fourth place: The price of gold has depreciated sharply.

Ninth place: Egypt’s currency devalued by 40%.

No. 10: The Federal Reserve raised deposit interest rates again.

It is no exaggeration to say that the information explosion is so intense that it can burn out the CPUs of netizens. There is simply too much content to process.

And the most important thing is that the netizens of each entry are now different.

For example, in the entry "Beixi Pipeline was bombed", millions of military enthusiasts are discussing whether Mao Xiong was responsible for it, and analyzing the international situation to see whether there is a possibility of an S3 season breaking out in the future.

Another example is the entries "Super Gold Mine Found in South Africa" ​​and "Gold Price Depreciates Sharply". People who like to use gold to manage their finances lamented and denounced them as scams.

Of course.

There are also some who are secretly happy.

For example, for prospective grooms who are getting married, the fall in gold prices means a reduction in hardware expenses, which they like to see.

In the entries of "U.S. Dollar Index Hits a Record High" and "The Federal Reserve Raise Deposit Interest Rates Again", millions of investors are crying, hoping that the stock market will not open tomorrow.

The U.S. dollar index has reached a record high, which will directly affect the exchange rates of other countries' currencies against the U.S. dollar, thereby affecting the stock market.

Every time the U.S. dollar reaches a new high in history, it will attract global capital flows to the United States, which will lead to a large outflow of foreign capital in the stock markets of other countries, leading to a decline.

In the entry "Egyptian Currency Devalued by 40%", a large number of overseas investors have already started to share their cases.

[Brother Hui in Egypt]: "It's so cool! It's so damn good! I invested 3 million Longguo coins to do business in Egypt ten years ago, and just calculated the assets, hey! Guess what? It's been nothing for ten years." Drink it, it can be exchanged for three million dragon country coins."

[Egyptian Traveler]: "Who the hell recommended me to deposit my money in an Egyptian bank. They said there was 20% deposit interest. Now I can't withdraw it. I want the interest. What they want is my principal!!!"

[A long journey]: "Life is like this sometimes. If you can't hold on to something, just let it go. It's been less than three months since the U.S. dollar raised interest rates, and the value of Egypt's currency has shrunk by 40%. I won't talk about it anymore. I'm going to go back to China and be a Sanhe Oh my God, is there anyone from Minfu who can take me on a boat?"
