Chapter 238 - 238 Not Going Back For Now
“This bastard is insulting us on purpose!”
“He’s just trying to embarrass us.”
“Every time we negotiate, the conditions he proposes will become even harsher.”
“He doesn’t want to sell us the DUV photolithography machine at all,” Wang Wei said with an upset expression.
Huang Jun didn’t say anything. Seeing Wang Wei’s angry look, he sighed. His reaction was exactly the same as Wang Wei’s when he first came here to buy a lithography machine.
He was furious!
However, he could only capitulate.
Because the Divine Dragon Country could not produce DUV lithography machines, they had to buy it from ASML.
He had no choice but to capitulate.
The selling price of ASML was twice the usual price. He had to accept it.
The management of ASML were arrogant and haughty. They had to accept it too.
Even if he was deliberately put in a difficult position and humiliated, he could only endure it.
The most important thing was to buy the lithography machine and not hold the country back.
Personal honor and humiliation were nothing in the face of national issues.
He had to endure it no matter what!
“Wang Wei, just bear with it for a while!” The employee who had been here before sighed.
“It doesn’t matter if we suffer some humiliation. The most important thing is to purchase the lithography machine.”
“They’re insulting us now, but trust me, one day, our country’s technology in this area will develop. At that time, it will be their doom!”
“They’re deliberately insulting us now. They’re mocking and despising us!”
“One day, we will pay it back tenfold or even a hundredfold.” The old employee’s eyes were extremely firm.
At this moment, Huang Jun’s phone rang. Huang Jun looked at the name on the screen and his expression turned serious.
“President Wang… Chaiter won’t relent. He insisted on the price of 600 million yuan per unit and even wanted to change the delivery location to ASML. He also asked us to pay in full.” Huang Jun’s tone was very heavy, but he didn’t mention the fact that Chaiter deliberately made things difficult and humiliated him.
“Huang Jun, you must have suffered the past few days.” On the other end of the phone, the voice of the President of the National Chip Company, Wang He, sounded.
“No, I…” Huang Jun quickly denied.
“Huang Jun, I went to ASML a few years ago. I know what’s going on. You’ve suffered for the country, for the company, and for our chip production.” President Wang’s voice was gentle.
After saying this, Huang Jun, an old man in his forties, got teary eyed.
Huang Jun held back the bitterness in his heart. He felt warmth and support. “President Wang, don’t worry. I’ll definitely bring the lithography machine back!”
“No!”
“You’ll never have to go to ASML again!”
“Just now, Li Chengqian of the Divine Dragon Software Company made an announcement!”
“The Divine Dragon Software Company has completed the production of the first 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine!”
“I’ve already called Li Chengqian to confirm it! It came from the horse’s mouth! I’m on my way to the Divine Dragon Software Company right now…”
“Huang Jun, get ready to come home!”
“I’ve prepared a celebratory feast for all of you!”
“ASML can go f*ck off!” At this point, President Wang’s tone changed drastically. It suddenly became abnormally cold.
Even after ending the call, Huang Jun still felt uneasy. He felt that he was dreaming.
“President Huang, President Wang just said that our country can now mass produce lithography machines?” Wang Wei said in disbelief.
The other employees also stared at Huang Jun.
Just then, Huang Jun’s phone rang. It was a message from President Wang. There was a link in the message.
Huang Jun clicked on it.
Then, a webpage opened. On the webpage was a message posted by Li Chengqian.
After reading the message carefully, his face immediately revealed ecstasy.
“It’s true! It’s true. Our domestic lithography machine has been mass-produced!” Huang Jun said with a smile.
“Quick, let me see the news.” Wang Wei walked over impatiently and looked at Huang Jun’s phone screen.
“Damn, that’s great!” Wang Wei almost jumped up in joy when he saw the news.
“President Huang, we don’t have to be bullied by that bastard Chaiter anymore.”
“Let’s go. We’ll go back today and visit the Divine Dragon Software Company!” Wang Wei was very excited.
Huang Jun was also very tempted by this suggestion, but after hesitating for a while, he said, “Wait… Let’s not go back for the time being.”
“Just in case!”
“We’ll go back only after President Wang has gone to the Divine Dragon Software Company to confirm this news.”
To be on the safe side, Huang Jun decided to stay behind to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Although Wang Wei and the others were a little disappointed, they were especially supportive and understanding of Huang Jun’s decision.
…
Over at ASML, Louise found Chaiter and told him the information she had just received!
“President Chaiter, the Divine Dragon Country has completed the development of the 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine!”
“You have to sign a contract with the National Chip Company immediately. Otherwise, you might lose this order for 22 lithography machines.”
When Chaiter heard this news, his first reaction was disbelief!
Impossible!
If the lithography machine could really be developed so easily, Divine Dragon would have developed it long ago. How could it have only been developed now?
Chaiter felt that this was fake news deliberately released by the Divine Dragon. It was a conspiracy.
Their main goal was to create a sense of crisis for ASML and thus make it easier for Huang Jun and the others to buy ASML’s advanced lithography machine.
In his opinion, the backward Divine Dragon Country did not have the ability to produce lithography machines.
But Louise clearly didn’t agree with him.
After the two of them discussed, they walked towards the hotel where Huang Jun was staying.
On the way, Chaiter was still extremely arrogant. “Louise, you don’t have to worry at all. They’ll bend over backwards as long as I agree to sell the lithography machine to them. They’re all a bunch of cheap beggars!”
“They definitely don’t have the ability to develop and produce lithography machines themselves!”
“We definitely won’t lose the order… I’ll make more profits for the company from them.”
Louise shook his head and asked, “Chaiter, don’t be careless. What if Divine Dragon has really made a technological breakthrough and can build a 7-nanometer lithography machine? Have you considered the consequences if the company loses this order because of your arrogance?”
Chaiter immediately fell silent.
Louise heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Chaiter finally taking this problem seriously.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the door of Huang Jun’s room.
Louise glanced at Chaiter, who was deep in thought. He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
In the room, when Huang Jun heard the knock on the door, he looked through the peephole on the door and was surprised.
“It’s Chaiter and Louise. Everyone, keep the information just now extremely confidential.” Huang Jun whispered to everyone.
Then, Huang Jun opened the door with a stony face and looked at the two of them coldly.
“Huang Jun, my friend!” Louise walked in with a smile and greeted Huang Jun very warmly.
Chaiter followed Louise in.
