Chapter 357 He wants to buy six scrapped photolithography machines
Businessmen have a wide network of contacts, especially big businessmen like Nathan.
And this is especially true between the Netherlands and the United States, which are originally about interoperability and commerce.
After all, even the United States has a Dutch photolithography machine manufacturing factory!
It is inevitable that these big manufacturers know each other.
Wang Yang immediately did not hesitate and sent a message back to Jiang Ran.
Then I searched for the time in the United States and found that it happened to be early morning there.
"...Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow to call him and ask." Wang Yang hesitated, but decided to call Nathan tomorrow.
Because everyone is asleep in the early hours of the morning, it’s not a good idea to call.
After all, they are not good friends, they just had a transaction.
Wang Yang is not the kind of person who has no sense of proportion.
Besides, it is already late at night, and that Dutch guy will definitely not send the scrapped photolithography machine to the steel factory to be treated as scrap metal at night!
Wang Yang and Jiang Ran chatted for a while, but ended the chat because Jiang Ran had to go to class.
The next morning, Wang Yang took the high-speed train to the city of Einho, because the ASM company where Buji Fewanga worked was located there.
He checked the time in the United States and found that it was after five o'clock in the evening there. He clicked on the address book and found Nathan's phone number and called him.
Last night, because it was early morning in the United States, Nathan must have fallen asleep, so Wang Yang didn't call.
It's five o'clock in the evening over there, so it's not rude to call.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, what's the matter?" A confident and smiling middle-aged male voice came from the mobile phone, speaking in English.
Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Yang smiled and replied in English: "Mr. Davis, I have something to ask you for help."
Nathan's full name It's Nathan Davis, and the Yankee's name is first and last.
At the same time, in a luxury bulletproof Bentley in California, the United States, Nathan received a call from Wang Yang, with a smile on his lips: "I'm very happy! I wonder what Mr. Wang is doing this time?"
Wang Yang had purchased F22 fighter jets from him before. For businessmen, a transaction often heralds the possibility of more cooperation.
Therefore, Nathan has kept Wang Yang’s contact information and is looking forward to the next trading opportunity.
As for Wang Yang’s live broadcast of selling F22 fighter jets, he had also paid attention to it and discussed it with the Air Force Major General. In the end, he believed that Wang Yang just repaired the shell and sold it as a model.
"Friend, do you know Bucky Fei Wangjia from ASM Company in the Netherlands?" Wang Yang's voice came from the phone with a hint of inquiry.
"Oh, of course I know him." Nathan smiled, "He is a director on the board of directors of ASM and is responsible for the management, maintenance and repair of photolithography machines. Mr. Wang, do you have anything to do with him?"
< br>Nathan knew in his heart that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Wang Yang called at this time, probably because he had new business to discuss.
Sure enough, Wang Yang's voice came again, with a hint of expectation: "I have a business that I want to talk to him about, but I don't know his contact information. I don't know if you have his contact information." "Can you please give it to me?"
"That's it." Nathan suddenly realized that he was willing to help Wang Yang's request, "Yes, wait a moment, I will find it and send it to you." ”
Nathan quickly found Buji Fei Wangjia’s name in the address book and sent his contact information to Wang Yang.
He knew that even if Wang Yang did not come to him to discuss business this time, it was crucial to maintain good personal relationships.
"Mr. Wang, have you received it?" Nathan asked with concern after sending the contact information.
"Received, thank you!" Wang Yang's voice came, with a hint of gratitude.
"You're welcome, you're too polite." Nathan smiled and continued to praise, "Speaking of which, Mr. Wang's business acumen is really great! Repair the shell of the F22 test machine and sell it as a model , earning seven to eight billion yuan, which is really admirable! I vaguely see Mr. Wang’s future, and he will definitely become a famous entrepreneur in China!”
Wang responded to Nathan’s praise! Yang just smiled modestly: "This is also thanks to you selling the F22 test machine to me. Otherwise, how could I have made so much money?"
After the two chatted for a few more words, Wang Yang hung up the phone.
He couldn't help but smile as he recalled the content of the chat just now.
He thought to himself: "After a while, if he knows that I have actually repaired all four F22 test aircraft and sold them as real F22s, will he vomit blood?"
However, Wang Yang did not indulge in this idea too much.
He quickly copied and pasted the phone number sent by Nathan into the dialing bar, and then clicked to dial.
Because he knew that time was running out and he had to contact Buji Fewangjia as soon as possible.
After the call was connected, a little girl's voice came: "Hallo, wieisdit?" (Hello, who is that?) It sounded like a girl's voice of only five or six years old, and she spoke Dutch. With a nice childlike innocence.
Wang Yang looked stunned. He didn’t understand Dutch.
But the next second, a man's voice sounded over there, speaking in English: "Hello, whoisthis?"
When Wang Yang heard this, he understood what he had just said. Condition.
He gathered his thoughts and introduced in English: "Hello, Mr. Fei Wangjia, my surname is Wang and my name is Wang Yang. I would like to come to you to discuss a business deal."
......
In In a luxurious villa in the Netherlands, a man in his forties sat on a chair in the study room.
He held a five or six-year-old blond girl in his left hand, and held a phone to his ear in his right hand.
Hearing the stranger's words coming from the mobile phone, he frowned slightly and said, "Sorry, Mr. Wang, are you Chinese?" He had already guessed the identity of the other person.
"Yes." Wang Yang replied.
“Then if you want to buy our company’s high-end chips, you have come to the wrong person. I am not responsible for exporting chips. But if you want to buy our company’s photolithography machines, then I’m sorry. According to the government According to the regulations, we do not sell photolithography machines and technologies," Buji said calmly.
He is an important person in ASM Company responsible for the repair and maintenance of photolithography machines.
When the other party called me, they either wanted to buy high-end chips but made a mistake; or they wanted to buy a photolithography machine.
As for the latter, he received many calls to buy photolithography machines, but he rejected them all due to government and company regulations.
After all, lithography machines and technology are their company's core competitiveness and an important means for them to make money. If they sell it to the Chinese, how can they make money? How to unite Western countries to block technology?
What he didn't expect was that Wang Yang's answer was completely beyond his expectation: "Mr. Fei Wangjia, you misunderstood. I do not import high-end chips. I want to ask you, is your company Aren't there six photolithography machines that produce high-end chips that have been scrapped and are being sent to the steel plant for disposal?"
Buki was startled when he heard this. He did not expect that the other party would ask this.
He frowned and asked curiously: "Yes, I was planning to send it there. But how did you know about this?"
"Oh, now is the information society. Besides, "No, this is not a confidential matter," Wang Yang said with a smile. Buji understood this as soon as he heard it, and stopped worrying about this issue.
He asked again: "Then why are you asking this?"
"I want to buy these six scrapped photolithography machines from you." Wang Yang said directly.
“?” Buji frowned again, a big question mark popping up in his mind.
He never expected that the other party would say this, "Those six photolithography machines have been scrapped and have no use. They are planning to send them to the steel factory for disposal. What is he going to buy them for?"< br>
Buji couldn't understand and asked aloud: "The six photolithography machines have been scrapped and the core equipment has been dismantled. What do you want to use them for?"
"That's it, I am a person I like to collect these things to make models, so after learning the news, I asked Nathan Davis from the United States for your contact information and called you," Wang Yang explained with a smile.
"Nathan..." Bucky knew that Nathan had business dealings with their ASM company.
But he frowned and pondered over Wang Yang's request.
The six photolithography machines used to produce chips have all been scrapped, and the core devices have also been dismantled.
Logically speaking, there should be no problem in selling it to him, and he can still make a profit, which is much more than sending it to a steel factory and selling it as scrap!
However, even if the core device of the lithography machine has been removed, the processing plan is not something I can change at will.
This is not something that the board of directors can decide. It must be nodded by the United States.
Because although ASM is located in the Netherlands, it is actually controlled by the Minister of Foreign Investment Control of the United States.
This department is in charge of all companies controlled by the United States around the world!
The reason for this is that the United States is ahead of other countries in early lithography machine technology.
But by 1997, when Intel and the U.S. Department of Energy decided to form the EUVLLC Frontier Technology Organization, U.S. lithography machine companies had already declined.
It is against this background that ASM, a Dutch company, got the opportunity to join the organization and promised to build factories and R&D centers in the United States to meet the local needs of the United States.
It is precisely because of this that ASM has soared and become one of the largest semiconductor equipment manufacturers in the world.
Of course, this also makes it an enterprise controlled by the United States.
Buji hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask the American side for their opinion.
After all, you can make a profit by selling six scrapped photolithography machines, which is much more cost-effective than sending them to a steel plant for disposal.
Moreover, they are already scrapped and the core device has been dismantled, so there should be nothing to worry about.
So, Bu Ji said calmly: "I know, Mr. Wang. But the photolithography machine is not an ordinary thing. Even if it has been scrapped, it is not something I can dispose of at will. What I received The order is to send it to the steel factory for processing. So, I have to call and ask for their opinion. If they agree, I will sell it to you; but if they don’t, then I can only say sorry.”
"Okay, then please call me and ask." The other party responded with a smile.
"Yeah." Bucky responded and immediately hung up the phone.
……
The screen turned and the train was moving.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself: "If the other party said this, it means that it has not been sent to the steel plant. Next, it depends on the result of his phone call."
He has been worried that the other party has sent the photolithography machine to the steel factory, but now he can feel a little more relieved and just needs to wait for the results.
......
On Buji's side, he was still holding his little daughter in his left hand.
After hanging up the phone from Wang Yang, he frowned slightly.
But soon, he thought of something, so he put his little daughter on the ground and said to her: "Go outside to play with your sister. Dad has to work."
The little daughter walked out reluctantly after hearing this. She still wanted to stick to her father.
After watching his cute little daughter walk out, Buji withdrew his gaze and looked at the phone in his hand again.
He did not immediately dial the number of the Minister of Foreign Investment Control of the United States, but first dialed Nathan's number.
"Wang Yang said that he asked for my contact information from Nathan, which means that he and Nathan know each other. I will ask Nathan about his situation first, and then consider whether to give it to the United States. The official call." Bucky thought to himself.
Anyway, this won’t waste any time.
"Hello, I'm Nathan Davis!" A confident and smiling male voice came from the phone, speaking in English.
"Hello, Mr. Davis, I am Bucky Fewanga from Holland ASM Company." Bucky greeted, his tone seemed neither salty nor bland, not as enthusiastic as Nathan.
"Hello, Mr. Fei Wangjia! Let me guess, has a Chinese named Wang Yang called you?" came Nathan's voice.
He knew that Wang Yang had called him just now and asked for Buji's phone number.
Now this Buji suddenly called again. They have never been in contact with each other on weekdays!
So Wang Yang could only have called him!
"Well, yes." Buji responded.
He was not surprised that Nathan could guess this, because Wang Yang had already said that he wanted his contact information from him.
"Did he call you to say he wanted to discuss a business with you? Do you know what the business is?" Buji asked again.
“I don’t know about this.” Nathan smiled and said.
He didn't ask at the time because it had nothing to do with him! He is just a businessman, not a gossip reporter!
“You may be surprised when I say it.”
Buki paused and said, “Our company currently has six scrapped photolithography machines that need to be sent to the steel plant for processing. He came to me and said he wanted to buy these six lithography machines. "What?" came the surprised voice on the phone.
Although he didn't see the other person's expression, Buji could imagine his surprised expression after hearing this.
He knew that the other party would react like this, because any normal person would be surprised and surprised when he heard this!
After all, what is the use of six scrapped photolithography machines?
……
In the United States, a luxurious bulletproof Bentley car.
After hearing what Buji Fewanga said on the phone, Nathan's gentle face showed a look of surprise.
