Chapter 359
South Korea, four-star headquarters conference room.
Sitting at the conference table were other senior executives of the Four Star Group. Everyone was sitting upright and did not dare to make any big moves.
Li Jianxi looked at the weather monitor on the projection, his face expressionless.
This thing is the weather monitor that caused a lot of noise during this period. He is very interested in this technology. If he can master the technology of weather monitors, the Four Star Group's influence will become even greater.
They are shareholders of ASML and have priority to take delivery. One EUV has little impact on them and the next batch of EUV will arrive soon.
Of course, Four Star and Longteng Group have some grievances, but cooperation amid competition is the norm for companies to survive now.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Four Star was able to grow from a small trading company to a large group that now controls the economy of South Korea. It definitely shows its courage.
Longteng Group's weather monitors cost 500 million US dollars each, and they knew the news. High price monopoly is their favorite method. Things are rare and valuable. No matter how much money they have, those countries will also buy this instrument that can predict disasters.
Originally, Longteng Group did not export weather monitors, so they had no way to get them for the time being. Now that there is such a good opportunity, they will not let it go easily.
The price of the EUV is US$110 million, and the price of the weather monitor is US$500 million. Even if we exchange three units and resell them to other countries, the business will definitely make a profit.
"We sent people to contact the Longteng Group and told them that we were willing to exchange with them, but we wanted four units."Li Jianxi said.
Intel and Four Star were willing to exchange weather monitors. This answer was beyond Lin Feng's expectation. They originally thought that there would be a company willing to exchange, and they were already very happy, because their purpose was to get Photolithography machine. There are two companies now, and he can only ask for it.
The cost of weather monitors is not high, and he will not mind having one more photolithography machine.
"Both companies wanted four weather monitors and had no other requirements."Jiang Feng said
"Four stations? They didn't suffer any loss."Lin Feng said:"If you trade with them, this one is not bad anyway."
Not long after the news was announced, the two companies contacted them. The intention was very obvious, which was to use weather monitors to study weather monitoring and early warning technology.
"OK"Jiang Feng agreed immediately.
The weather monitor is for export. Since you dare to export, you are not afraid of technology leakage. The core chip, the algorithm inside and the weather monitor system are all encrypted. It is almost impossible to obtain the algorithm.
So Lin Feng is not afraid that they can imitate the weather monitor.
Even if all the hardware is manufactured, without the core algorithm and weather monitor system, it will be just an empty shell and useless.
Both parties want to change, so there is no exchange with the two companies. Resistance was received.
South Korea and the United States wanted to get weather monitors, and Longteng China wanted photolithography machines. They were both cutting-edge technologies. Each side got what they needed, so the exchange was subject to the restrictions of the three governments.
Two weeks Finally, the exchange between the two parties was successfully completed.
Chi Shangjiang was sitting on the reception desk of Intel, his face was red and smiling, and he seemed to be having a great event.
Not long after, when he saw Paul walking in, Chi Shangjiang's face immediately seemed to bloom. chrysanthemum. Without saying a word, he greeted her, more like welcoming the arrival of her master.
"President Paul, nice to meet you. Paul despised Chishangjiang's flattering expression in his heart, but did not show it:"Ambassador Chishang came here in person. What do you want?""
Paul is also in a good mood, because he successfully exchanged a weather monitor with Longteng Group. Their company's stock price has been rising in the past few days, and Intel's market value is also rising. The impact of the weather monitor is beyond his expectation..Now they just get the weather monitor, and their market value is already optimistic. If they really get the weather monitoring and early warning technology, their company will definitely rise to another level in his hands.
"President Paul, I came here this time to ask about the weather monitor. Can you sell us a weather monitor?"Chi Shangjiang didn't talk nonsense. He smiled apologetically and got into the topic. He was careful when speaking, for fear of offending others.
"Weather monitor? This is something I need to think about." Paul said.
If the weather monitor is sold to the Japanese, it means that their research will have one more competitor, which they do not want to see. Although Japan is small, its scientific research capabilities are definitely better than theirs. The company is strong. Now when we sell weather monitors to Japanese people, they are making wedding dresses for others.
"President Paul, when will you get a reply? The price is easy to say. We are willing to pay US$100 million to buy one. Chi Shangjiang said.
Now Japan is in urgent need of weather monitors. Who is not sure when the next weather monitor will come? After the last major weather monitor, there were two large aftershocks, and their losses were not small.
They are better than anyone else. Every country needs weather monitors
"Well, I'll get back to you in a while."Paul thought for a while and said.
The same scene happened in South Korea.
Japan is now eager to get the weather monitor, but the Japanese government does not have a photolithography machine and cannot exchange it with Longteng Group. Longteng Group is not selling it to outsiders for the time being. , can only make two ideas.
The two companies that got the weather monitors did not deal with Japan. The weather monitors they spent so much effort to obtain cannot be handed over to Japan casually and used as wedding dresses for Japan.
At the same time,
Lin Feng and Jiang Feng were walking on the campus of the company's headquarters. The company's headquarters is currently undergoing final decoration, and the park has already taken a basic shape.
Further expansion of the headquarters industrial park and rush work will cost them a lot of money.
The headquarters of Longteng Group is called Dragon's Nest, which is Longteng's nest.
The headquarters is in a ring-shaped structure. It is not too high, but it occupies a large area. It can be regarded as a low-end version of the Bird's Nest. However, the shape is different, and it is not a steel structure. The exterior is not regular glass packageGorgeous.
In addition to the basic office area, there are restaurants, supermarkets, fitness gyms and multi-purpose halls, as well as internal and external conference rooms.
Each area is like a cave in an ant nest. Inside the ring, there are various passages leading to each area. In the center of the ring is a green area. From a distance, it looks like an ant nest made of glass.
Next to the headquarters building is another form of ant nest. It is an independently built research institute with a connecting passage to the headquarters.
There are also factory workshops, warehouses, and employee dormitories in the park. The plan for the headquarters is for 10,000 people to live and work there.
It has now entered the final stage and will be several months away from being put into use.
Lin Feng and Jiang Feng were heading towards the research institute at this time.
The two photolithography machines exchanged for the weather monitor were both flown back. Because it is a special instrument, after returning to the airport, it will be transported back to the headquarters research institute through emergency procedures. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection,
