241 A Little Scary

After Li Chengqian gave an introduction on the basic situation of the Divine Dragon Mobile 1 lithography machine, the engineers of the National Chip Company entered the clean room one after another and began to work.

The operation of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine was very simple. It worked pretty much the same way as the one that was bought from ASML at a high price.

Of course, there were also some differences.

The interface of the operation changed from the English interface to the full Chinese interface.

There were fewer buttons on the interface. This advanced machine could be operated with a simple click.

“President Wang, the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine can automatically detect the size of the silicon slices. There is no need for any action via the control panel. Even if 300 mm silicon slices are suddenly mixed with 450 mm silicon slices, the machine can correctly identify and process them on its own,” Li Chengqian explained.

“The system used by the control panel is the Divine Dragon System!”

“The chip production and control software was also developed by our company…”

“Our control software can drive the production of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine. It can also drive the lithography machines produced by other companies…” Li Chengqian said thoughtfully.

When Wang Yizhi heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

The Divine Dragon Software Company’s ability in software development was invincible in the world.

The control program developed by the Divine Dragon Software Company was more advanced and useful than ASML’s. This was only to be expected.

With Li Chengqian’s simple introduction and instruction, the engineers from the National Chip Company quickly mastered the use of the Divine Dragon Model 1 lithography machine.

Then, they began to test the lithography machine according to the test plan that they had discussed in advance.

Because there were many tests, and that required a long time, Li Chengqian invited Academician Lin Qu, Academician Ji Cheng, and Wang Yizhi to visit the Divine Dragon Software Company.

However, all three of them declined!

They wanted to watch the entire testing process and record the results.

This was too important to them!

…

Meanwhile, after Huang Jun welcomed Louise and Chaiter into the room, he looked at the two of them without saying a word.

Louise said with a smile on his face, but deep inside, he was anxious. “My friend, I just discussed it with Chaiter…”

“As for the price of the DUV lithography machine, we agree to sell it for 300 million yuan each.” As Louise spoke, he carefully observed Huang Jun’s expression and reaction.

In the blink of an eye, Louise was now offering the price of 300 million yuan per unit?

Huang Jun was unable to adapt to this drastic change.

“Wait, they must have gotten the news!” Soon, Huang Jun understood the reason why.

“Yes, 300 million!” Louise answered affirmatively.

When Louise spoke, Charter looked very unhappy, but he didn’t say anything.

Just as Louise had told him, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if the news from the Divine Dragon Country was true and this business failed because of him.

After hearing Louise’s affirmative answer, a bright smile appeared on Huang Jun’s face. “Mr. Louise, this is how a businessman should be.”

“Before I set off from Divine Dragon, I’d already negotiated a preliminary price of 300 million yuan per unit.”

“After I arrived at ASML, Mr. Chaiter quoted me a price of 600 million yuan per unit. They also made many unreasonable demands. These were completely different from what we originally discussed… This made me very disappointed.” Huang Jun’s voice became cold when he said this.

When Chaiter heard this, he looked at Huang Jun with anger in his eyes.

Huang Jun’s words on this occasion were a complaint against him. He was accusing him of not being an ethical businessman. He said coldly in his heart, “This yellow monkey! I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!”

“My dear friend, don’t be upset. You Divine Dragons have a saying, quote a heavenly price, settle on an earthly price. Chaiter is from ASML. He has to answer to the shareholders of ASML.” Louise quickly explained.

He explained that Chaiter was only trying to defend the company’s interest.

“ASML is lucky to have someone as smart as you,” Huang Jun replied.

“Mr. Huang Jun, what do you think of the price I just proposed?” Louise sighed in his heart when he saw that Huang Jun didn’t mention ordering the lithography machine. He could only raise this question himself.

He already had a very bad feeling!

“Mr. Louise, the price you proposed this time is not bad… but what are the other conditions?” Huang Jun asked directly. He still didn’t propose to place an order, but asked about the other conditions instead.

“The delivery location can only be at ASML! Because you know that our company don’t have the ability to ship the lithography machine to Divine Dragon.” On this issue, Louise’s stand was the same as Chaiter’s.

Especially after the outbreak of the Doomsday Extortion Virus, the entire world fell into a tense state.

There were many warships of powerful countries cruising on the open seas.

Louise was willing to bet his last dollar that a cargo ship carrying a DUV lithography machine would definitely not reach Divine Dragon Port.

If it wasn’t a shipwreck, it would definitely be detained.

ASML couldn’t afford this kind of risk. It was just a small company. It didn’t want to be caught in the big countries’ cross fire.

“Secondly, payment must be 100% upfront!” Louise and Chaiter felt the same way when it came to the payment terms.

Because with the current situation, the possibility of accidents happening in the world had greatly increased.

Who would pay for the rest of the amount if there was a conflict and the lithography machine sank into the sea?

In order to avoid accidents, the best way was to ask for 100% upfront.

“Mr. Huang Jun, what do you think?” Louise kept looking into Huang Jun’s eyes during the negotiation. He was trying to read Huang Jun’s mind.

“I am not agreeable!” Huang Jun shook his head directly.

“This is different from what we’ve agreed before!”

“I can’t give you an answer for the time being. I don’t have the authority to decide.”

“I need to report to my senior management!” Huang Jun didn’t reject the terms outright. He gave an ambiguous reply instead.

He neither agreed nor refused.

After hearing Huang Jun’s ambiguous words, Louise frowned slightly, and the ominous feeling in her heart became stronger.

Chaiter originally thought that when the price dropped to 300 million yuan, Huang Jun would agree ecstatically.

Even though the place of delivery and the payment terms have changed.

However, these issues were not a big problem for the Divine Dragon. under normal circumstances… the Divine Dragon would definitely agree.

However, Huang Jun’s answer disappointed him!

Huang Jun skirted around the topic. He had no intention of agreeing at all, nor did he mention anything related to placing orders.

Coupled with the information Louise had told him previously, he suddenly felt a little chill.

It was a little…

Scary!
