Chapter 775 Dutch Royal Family

On the way back to the company, Yang Cheng was thinking about the lithography machine. It was almost impossible to go directly to ASML to place an order. He had to find a middleman to introduce him.

But who should the middleman find? William? Or Li Fu~Really?

William's advantage is that he can contact ASML through the Dutch royal family, but today's European royal families have basically become the mascots of various countries. They come out to have fun with the people every major festival, and almost lose all the power of the royal family. , especially after the new generation of heirs ascended the throne, the prestige is not as good as before.

The Dutch royal family still holds some shares in several domestic pillar companies, barely retaining the majesty of the royal family, and has a certain right to speak on some issues that do not involve core interests. If Yang Cheng is willing to pay a certain price, he should be able to It is said that the Dutch royal family helped to get a share of a lithography machine.

As for Li Fuzhen, she should be willing to help, but her brother Li Zairong is hard to say. This guy is a bit of a waste, but it is more than enough to be a monarch who guards the city. He may not be willing to give up a light. To offend the American father with the share of the engraving machine, you must know that Sanxing Electronics has always been the target of the American father’s suppression, and there is no reason to suppress it without reason. It's hard to get through.

Alas~ It's a pity that ASML is almost invincible in the world, otherwise Yang Cheng would have a choice, and with the backing of the two worlds of Europe and America, ASML hardly has to worry about being subject to anti-monopoly investigations. There are also quite a few companies, but the technology development method in Europe is different from others. They adopt a resource sharing method for technological development, so things that can be purchased with money do not need to work hard on this aspect.

With the timely appearance of ASML, it has become the world's largest supplier of lithography equipment and services, and has almost monopolized 80% of the market share. Europe only needs to spend money to support it, and there is no need to invest more resources. research and development.

The turning point occurred after ASML and Philips separated, and they have been focusing on the research and development of lithography technology. The use of advanced German mechanical technology and world-class Zeiss lenses, coupled with the light source provided by the United States, has made ASML a leader in lithography technology. In terms of rapid development, it has almost reached the point of being invincible, so even if the same manufacturer appears, it will be covered under the light of ASML.

Now the lithography machine that country Z needs is the top-notch one, which can only be made by the Asmer family, so it can only force Yang Cheng to scratch his head and think about it.

He wasn't afraid to pay the price, anyway, no matter how high the price was, someone would pay him. Thinking of this, he called William directly.

"Jason?" William's voice sounded weak, as if he had to cheer up to speak.

Yang Cheng raised her eyebrows, "Are you sick?"

"Ahem~, yes, damn flu, I have been quarantined by Kate in the guest room so as not to infect George and Charlotte." William coughed one after another, but Yang Cheng gloated a little, "Kate is doing well ~"

"Fuck, don't be joking, tell me something, I have to take medicine."

"Good thing, after you hear the news, I'm sure you'll be cured of all illnesses."

Yang Cheng was still trying to tell the truth, but William had an idea, "Did you find a buyer?"

"Bingo~ and a buyer who is willing to pay a high price, how about $1.6 billion? Isn't this figure very attractive,

How much we can earn depends on how much pressure you can put on Beard. "Yang Cheng snapped her fingers and said excitedly.

"Really? OMG, Jesus Christ, I love you so much Jason, this is definitely the best medicine in the world, I don't feel bad at all now, no headache, no blurry eyes, no cough, really Yes, how should I thank you?"

Yang Cheng smiled and took the phone away from his ears. William's excitement was beyond words, his voice was no longer hoarse, and he called cheerfully.

When he was tired of shouting, Yang Cheng said, "Don't be too busy thanking me, I need your help with something."

William's voice stagnated, "You say, as long as I can help."

"I need a lithography machine. Can you persuade the Dutch royal family to help? Of course, you won't say anything about the price you should pay." Yang Cheng told William in a very serious voice that he was not joking.

William groaned in pain, "Oh, damn it, Jason, can't you make me happy for a while? You don't make chips, so what do you need a photolithography machine for?"

Yang Cheng pinched his nose, "You should have guessed it, but I can't help it. The reason why I was able to find a buyer this time was because of the relationship over there to get a high price. machine."

William was speechless, Yang Cheng didn't do it for himself.

He was extremely depressed, and wanted to say that he would stop earning this money, but when he thought about the large sum of money needed for the global show plan arranged next year, he suddenly felt that it was not a big deal to get a lithography machine. Not bad for money.

That's right, William knew very well who Yang Cheng was helping to buy the lithography machine. If it was an American company, there was no need to entrust him with the relationship, and just place the order directly with ASML.

Only country Z, which is included in the global embargo list, needs to obtain high-end lithography machines through various channels and means.

Speaking of which, Prince William and the new Dutch king Willem-Alexander are also considered relatives. Of course, the royal families all over Europe are relatives, but there are also distances. Although they are all called William, there are many European royal families named William. The Dutch royal family is called William, William I, II, and III. It stands to reason that the current Dutch king should He inherited the title of William IV, but he was willful and unwilling, and no one could do anything about him.

In fact, the history of the Dutch royal family is quite interesting. If you let it go, you can write it for a week.

Compared with other European royal families, the history of the Dutch royal family is relatively young.

Although the monarchy was implemented in various aristocratic territories in the Netherlands during the feudal period of the Middle Ages, that is, the system of hereditary inheritance, strictly speaking, as a relatively complete Dutch monarchy, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as the Dutch call it, first began in 1806.

At that time, with the restoration of the French monarchy, the Dutch Republic of Batavia, which was a puppet regime, also ended, and the French changed the Republic to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. However, the king of this kingdom was the Frenchman Louis Bonaparte, who Brother of Napoleon the Great.

In 1813, following the failure of Napoleon the Great, the founder of the Dutch royal family, William I, officially established the Kingdom of the Netherlands and became the monarch of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Later, under the principle of hereditary system, William II, William III and later three queens succeeded to the throne and became the monarchs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. There were only six of them, three men and three women.

Of course, from a historical point of view, the earliest founder of the Netherlands was Orange, who is also known as the father of the Netherlands. He is actually a figure in the 16th century and is well-known. One is because he is the ancestor of the current Dutch royal family. The second is because he once led the battle against Spain in the "80 Years' War", and this war is often regarded as the "Uprising of the Low Countries" in Dutch history books, and it was a pioneering event in the Netherlands in modern times. Historical events.

Willem, praised in the national anthem of the Netherlands, is the "Father of the Nation", but he is not a Dutchman in the true sense. Orange was originally a member of the "Nassau" family in the Black Forest region of Germany, who lived in the mountains for generations. Nassau Castle near the water is therefore also called the Nassau family, crowned with the title of earl, and is one of the wealthiest families on the Rhine.

As we all know, the British royal family and the former French royal family are close relatives, and the contradiction between Germany and France runs through most of modern European history. China is only separated by the English Channel. It can be said that once a war is launched, the first destination for the British Army to land is the Netherlands.

However, the expected war did not happen. Instead, the Germans, the close relatives of the ancestors, blew half of the Netherlands into the sea during the two world wars. The then Dutch monarch, Queen Wilhelmina, had to flee. Arriving in the UK has also established a good relationship between the two royal families.

Speaking of which, the three kings of the Dutch ancestors were also typical representatives of waste wood. On the contrary, the three queens who succeeded to the throne succeeded in revitalizing the Dutch royal family.

Before William I became king of the Netherlands, there was a short-lived republic in the Netherlands, successively the Republic of Seven Provinces and the Republic of Batavia. The latter was a puppet regime established under the First French Republic after the French conquered the Netherlands.

After the establishment of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, William I became king. However, the Dutch monarchy and the royal family have encountered many challenges since then. William I failed to maintain the majesty of the royal family and was forced to gradually transition from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.

The original Kingdom of the Netherlands had a sphere of influence as far as the current Belgium. However, with the loss of King William I, he was expelled from Brussels, Belgium declared independence, and the Netherlands could only control the northern part of the kingdom, which is now the southern part of the Netherlands. .

Later, the European Revolution spread to the Netherlands. In order to avoid the overthrow of the royal family, William II chose to back down again, and members of the royal family would no longer be the policymakers.

In the later period of William III's reign, the prestige of the Dutch royal family was almost completely lost. It was not until Queen Wilhelmina succeeded Wang Wei that it changed. The three children from his father's first marriage died young, and Queen Wilhelmina was seriously ill and miscarried many times. If the queen died without an heir, the Dutch throne would fall into the hands of the next of kin in Germany.

It was not until the birth of the youngest daughter Juliana that the succession to the throne was resolved, and the Dutch royal family became prosperous again in the future.
