Chapter 162: Seismograph for Lithography Machine

"The seismograph is not exported for the time being, but we need an euv for experiments. If there is an euv exchange, we will be happy to exchange it with you." Zhao Min said.

Chen Mo watched quietly. If he could get a lithography machine and two more seismographs, he wouldn't mind.

"If Ambassador Terry thinks it's impossible, he can wait for our seismograph to exit, and then come over and trade with us." Zhao Min said calmly.

"Miss Zhao's condition makes me very powerless." Terry said: "We don't have an euv, what other conditions?"

"Our company does not lack the others." Zhao Min shook his head: "I believe that Ambassador Terry has great powers, and there will be a way to get it."

"Miss Zhao really thinks highly of me." Terry shook his head and smiled.

"In this case, Mr. Terry will be disappointed this time. You should wait for our company's seismograph to export to the outside world. Come over. Of course, if you place an order now, we will accept it, and give you the seismograph first. Not expensive, $50 million a piece."

As soon as Zhao Min said this, the female translator who followed Terry came over, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Inexpensive, fifty million dollars?

If these words are released, it will become a classic "small goal".

After hearing the price, Terry's face trembled. He heard about the price of seismographs, but did not expect the price to be real.

"Can't the price be low?" Terry asked.

"No, it's the same price for every country. Our output is very low, and when we place an order, we are not sure when it will be delivered. But if there is a lithography machine, as long as the lithography machine arrives, we will immediately send only the There are two for you." Zhao Min said.

Terry was lost in thought, and it was a difficult question.

They want seismographs, mainly for research purposes. The seismograph they got last time was damaged, and they didn't get much useful technology. This time, they just wanted a good seismograph to go back.

If they develop an early warning mechanism for the operation of seismographs, they can produce seismographs. This is the most cutting-edge technology, and many countries want it.

"Can you show me your seismograph?" Terry didn't reply immediately, he needed to contact China for further reply.

"We have a model of the seismograph in our company. You can take Ambassador Terry to see it." Zhao Min said.

"OK.

"

A group of people walked to the product exhibition area of ​​Army Ant Company.

In the company, there are specially set areas to display the company's products. After taking Terry for a tour, Chen Mo and Zhao Min walked to the office after they left.

"What do you think of the Americans taking the initiative to come over this time?" Chen Mo asked.

"Put off the responsibility of retrieving the seismograph and get a new seismograph. Their damaged one doesn't have much research value, and they want a new one. They want to study the technology of the seismograph."

Zhao Min pointed directly to the crux of the problem.

"Then the seismograph is changed to euv technology? Is there hope?" Chen Mo asked.

"He didn't refuse on the spot, just hope. I just took advantage of their eagerness to get the seismograph and traded with them. Even if they don't block the technology, it will take 21 months to get the lithography machine when we place an order for ASML. , it will be faster.”

"It's better to make public the news, use three seismographs in exchange for one lithography machine, and try it out, there may be unexpected gains." Chen Mo said.

Now the countries in the world are staring at the technology of the seismograph in his hand, not one or two. However, the price offered by the army ant company is too high, and the seismograph has not been exported for the time being, and many people cannot get it if they have money.

The Marching Ant Company is willing to release the seismometer, and there are definitely many interested companies.

"Yes, you can exchange with anyone anyway, not necessarily the United States. There are still many countries with lithography machines." Zhao Min nodded.

That afternoon, the news that Army Ant Company was willing to exchange three seismographs for one euv was officially announced.

The news immediately attracted international attention.

The earthquake in the island country has not really subsided so far.

The Fukushima nuclear leak, made worse by this earthquake, adds to the

The news that the military ant seismometer was taken away in the United States, causing the island country and the American people to fight each other, is still circulating on the Internet.

Seismograph is the biggest protagonist in this earthquake. Because of the emergence of seismograph, earthquakes have become predictable. Those countries that suffer from earthquake disasters are all staring at the seismograph of Army Ant Company.

Now the army ant company uses the seismograph in exchange for the lithography machine, which has immediately attracted the attention of many media.

The domestic semiconductor industry has not developed, not because of poor chip design capabilities, but also because of the lack of high-end lithography machines.

The news of Army Ant Company released a big signal: Army Ant is ready to enter the semiconductor market.

Along the way, the marching ants caught whoever was unlucky. For semiconductor companies, Huaxia has another potential opponent, which is a chilling thing.

Intel headquarters.

"What do you think about the marching ant company's request for a lithography machine?"

Paul looked at Barrett in the main seat of the conference room, and there were several other Intel leaders or directors on the field. Army ants want to enter the semiconductor field, they must develop new strategies to respond.

Wherever this nest of ants goes, it will make people tremble.

"Don't worry, Paul." Barrett said: "In the field of semiconductors, it is not just any company that just wants to come in, but I am a little interested in this seismograph."

"It's better to take out an euv and exchange it with them. If you can get the technology of the seismograph in reverse, the company's stock and reputation will be improved." Sitting opposite Barrett, the gray-haired Intel chairman An Dee looked at the others in the conference room.

His words shocked everyone.

"I also think it can be considered. They just want lithography machines. Although they are scarce, we have them. The next batch of goods will be delivered soon.

Ames has already shown signs of loosening its mouth. In two years, Huaxia people will have lithography machines. We have no shortage of them here. If one is missing, it will not have much impact on the output, and you can buy another one at any time. ' said the youngest man on the field. He was Wilson, ea's CEO and now Intel's 12th director.

Others on the field also fell into contemplation. In recent years, many European countries have lifted some technology embargoes on China. With the rise of China, this trend will become bigger and bigger. Now that there are interests, they have no reason to look at it and not take it. .

If the earthquake prediction technology is developed with the help of seismographs, and the production of seismographs is mastered, it will have a great impact on the company's reputation and income. The Army Ant Company relies on this to become a giant like them, and its valuation is even higher than the sky.

Paul, the initiator of the meeting, did not expect that the style of the meeting would actually deviate in this direction.

South Korea, Samsung headquarters conference room.

Sitting on the conference table are other executives of Samsung Group, and everyone is sitting upright, daring to make any big moves.

Li Jianxi looked at the seismograph on the projection, expressionless.

This thing is the seismograph that made a lot of noise during this period of time. He is very interested in this technology. If he can master the technology of seismograph, the influence of Samsung Group will become even greater.

They are the shareholders of ASML and have the right of first delivery. One euv has little impact on them, and the next batch of euv will arrive soon. They have a little grudge with Army Ant Company, but they cooperate in competition, which is the normal state of business survival now.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Samsung was able to go from a small trading company to a large conglomerate that now controls the economy of South Korea.

They know the news about the seismometers of the Army Ant Company, each costing $50 million. High-priced monopoly, this is their favorite method, rare is the most expensive, no matter how much money, this instrument that can predict disasters, those countries will also buy it.

Originally, Army Ant Company did not export seismographs, so they could not get them for the time being. Now is such a good opportunity, they will not let it go easily.

The price of euv is 110 million US dollars, and the seismograph is 50 million US dollars. Even if three sets are returned and sold to other countries, the business will be profitable.

"Send someone to contact the Army Ant Company and tell them that we are willing to exchange with them, but we want four." Li Jianxi said.
