#701 - Chapter 701: The conditions are increased, technology in exchange for resources! Either agree
Lithography machine.
The most shining pearl on the crown of industry!
Once upon a time, the Western world, led by North America, mastered the top lithography machine technology.
Is Dongyang's lithography machine technology also very strong?
Okay!
Dongyang is North America's dog and also belongs to the Western world.
The wheel of fortune turns.
Now, China's lithography machine technology is making crazy breakthroughs.
130 nanometers!
70 nanometers!
28 nanometers!
Let's put it this way.
China's first high-precision lithography machine, the West has not yet developed it, but now...
It has launched 28-nanometer precision!
The situation is: my first-generation product, you haven't even figured it out yet, and I've already released the third generation--what are you going to play with me?
In the end, the West gave up.
How to catch up?
Catching up means investing a lot of money in research and development, but failing to keep up with the other party's research and development speed, resulting in all the money invested in research and development being wasted.
The West is a capitalist society.
Capital is profit-oriented.
When they find it impossible to catch up and receive no return, they would be crazy to continue investing.
Build it?
Better to buy!
In fact, China has exported lithography machines to North America, but due to the increasingly tense relations between the two countries, North America has been repeatedly kicked out of the trade system--the lithography machines North America bought in the past are not comparable to the latest models.
"The highest precision of lithography machines in our country's market is currently 28 nanometers, you know all this."
"I know!"
"In view of your President's very good attitude of admitting his mistakes, our side..."
Chen Hao quickly changed his words: "Hanteng Capital is the global general agent for Chinese lithography machines--so, I can sign a long-term cooperation agreement."
"Long-term cooperation?"
"As long as China develops the latest lithography machines, they can all be exported to North America."
"This..."
Lawrence was very excited.
Especially excited!
The most advanced ones can be exported to North America now.
As long as the most advanced ones are developed, they can all be exported to North America!
The most advanced lithography machines!
The most advanced chips!
This way, high-performance electronic products can be created.
However...
After the excitement, Lawrence frowned.
The price to pay to sign this agreement will not be low!
"Mr. Chen, what are the conditions...?"
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly!
Chen Hao took out his phone.
Seeing the number, he glanced at Lawrence and quickly walked to the corner.
Pressing the answer button: "You said... okay! Understood!"
A few minutes later.
He returned again: "What I just said may need to be changed."
"Ah?!"
Lawrence was dumbfounded.
The call this kid just took should have come from the Chinese high-level, asking him to temporarily change his decision.
Could it be...
They're not going to export lithography machines anymore?
"Our side can not only export complete lithography machines to North America, but also... transfer the complete set of technology," Chen Hao said with a smile.
"What?!"
Lawrence was completely stunned.
Transfer technology?
It means North America can manufacture high-precision lithography machines themselves!
"What precision technology?" he asked quickly.
"Whatever precision we have, we can transfer that precision."
"This..."
"However!"
Chen Hao changed his tone: "You should understand that this is equivalent to dividing a portion of China's share to North America, and even... creating competitors out of thin air--therefore, the requirements will be more stringent."
"This..."
Lawrence hesitated.
The more the other party gives, the more stringent the requirements will be, which is inevitable.
If you only import lithography machines instead of obtaining lithography machine technology, the requirements will definitely be much lower, right?
Which one to choose?
"Not only can lithography machine technology be transferred, but also chip design, machine tool technology, etc., can be discussed."
"All of these I mentioned refer to the most advanced."
Chen Hao smiled.
What?!
Lawrence was directly dumbfounded.
Doesn't that mean copying China's most advanced technology to North America?
One of the President's three-pronged approach plan is to send a large number of spies to try to steal Chinese technology.
But everyone knows that this is very difficult.
Firstly.
The difficulty itself is great.
Secondly.
Taking lithography machine technology as an example, it involves countless fields, even if you steal only one aspect, to obtain all the information... it is almost impossible, and it takes a long time.
"Mr. Chen..."
Seeing Chen Hao raising the stakes, Lawrence couldn't sit still: "What are the conditions?"
"Hanteng Capital's subsidiary has a company called Shengshi Mining."
"I've heard of it."
"So, I want to collect mines."
The next moment.
Chen Hao listed a variety of minerals: "Copper, gold, cadmium, yttrium, platinum group metals..."
Exchange mines for technology!
Lawrence's heart rate accelerated.
These...
Some are in great demand in industry, while others are strategic resources!
"Mr. Chen, these... I need to ask for instructions!" Lawrence did not dare to make the decision, nor was he qualified to do so.
"Half an hour."
Chen Hao got up.
Leaving the reception room to the other party, he also dropped a sentence: "If you don't decide in half an hour, take the trade delegation back, and there's no need to talk later."
What?!
Lawrence was shocked and quickly ran to a deserted place and dialed the President's phone: "Mr. President, the Chinese side has proposed..."
Standing from North America's point of view.
Chen Hao, as a white glove, is negotiating on behalf of the Chinese government, and the benefits given...
Undoubtedly.
It has great appeal to North America.
You need to know that Chen Hao is not saying to transfer the existing most advanced technology to North America, but that in the future, as long as there is new technology, it will be preferentially transferred to North America--which means North America will always have China's most advanced technology.
North American technology is currently being suppressed in all fields.
The economy is a mess!
Isn't it just a lack of top technology?
However, the President is not a fool either.
The minerals that China wants are either in great demand in industry or are strategic resources.
Need to ask the purpose?
It's not a conspiracy.
It's an open plot!
The benefits Chen Hao gives are what North America needs most now, and there is simply no way to refuse.
It is equivalent to telling the other party clearly: With the technology transferred by China, North America can once again become a technological power, but it must also pay a great price--I just want strategic resources, will you give them or not!
Don't give it?
Stop gene research, agree to let you return to the trade circle, and you can only be a resource exporting country, and the economy will still plummet.
Given North America's current situation, there is simply no choice!
...
Here, Lawrence is on the phone with the President.
Chen Hao left the reception room.
Just went out.
Xiang Yan and Shi Dali stood on either side of the door.
There are also bodyguards brought by Lawrence.
Less than ten meters away.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass in the public area, the girl was facing away from Chen Hao, as if admiring the scenery outside the window.
"Cough!"
Lawrence's bodyguard coughed falsely.
The girl was stunned and turned to look over.
Seeing Chen Hao, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, looking very helpless.
Seemingly shy.
Seemingly flustered.
Just like in ancient China, the bride was seeing each other for the first time on the wedding day, and the bride was genuinely shy.
I have to say, it's really similar.
"Hi!"
Chen Hao's mind moved, and he quickly walked over.
