Asmi's fortunes changed in 1995, when they somehow managed to go public.
After raising a large amount of funds, they boldly invested heavily in research and development, and finally successfully developed a dual-worktable lithography machine in 2000.
As soon as this lithography machine came out, it was invincible with its advantages of high speed and accuracy of hundreds of nanometers. It defeated all contact lithography machines on the market in one fell swoop and officially became the overlord of the industry.
He didn't fall until Wan Feng was reborn.
If the other party is really transferring these equipment, Wan Feng is ready to take it no matter how much it costs.
I will never give Asmi another chance to turn things around.
He just couldn't successfully research this technology, and would rather lock it in a cabinet than let it appear in the world.
Without this high-precision lithography technology, the development of foreign chip technology will inevitably be slow, and even if there is a gap in everyone's level, the gap will not be large.
Since the good aspects are not working, then let's hold you back and do the bad things together.
Wouldn’t it be much easier if nothing had developed?
This gives China the opportunity to develop and catch up.
As long as this type of lithography machine comes out ten or eight years later, he has the confidence to catch up with the West.
Of course, if he could use these materials to make this lithography machine, he would make even more money.
At that time, we will also impose a blockade on the West and make foreigners' eyes turn blue.
No! Foreigners’ eyes are naturally blue, so why is he emitting blue light?
Then make their eyes green! Green like wolves.
Wan Feng returned to the exhibition area with this idea in mind.
Wan Feng walked all the way to the west area and caught up with Mi Guangnan when he was almost in the middle of the west exhibition hall.
"Huh? Why are you back again?" Mi Guangnan asked curiously.
"Mr. Mi, come with me."
Wan Feng pulled Mi Guangnan out most of the way, and the two talked as they walked in, with Han Guangjia following slowly behind.
"That Asmi I just asked you about?"
"Ah! What's going on?"
"Their booth is very strange. There are only two people, a computer, and a box. I think they are transferring some technology. I don't understand foreign languages, so you can ask them."
"Do you know what technology to transfer?"
"It looks like a photolithography device."
"Oh! We have to go check it out. We don't have this in our country. The equipment we bought is still the lithography machine from a democratic country, and the quality is very poor."
Western technology and equipment would not be sold to socialist countries. The lithography machines produced by democratic countries were probably the worst in quality and level among the mainstream lithography machines in the world at that time.
However, the socialist countries in Eastern Europe can only buy lithography machines from democratic countries. If they want to buy Western lithography machines, they can only go through underground channels.
Therefore, even if a democratic country does not make good lithography machines, it can still thrive.
If the other party transfers photolithography technology, they can take it back and save a lot of foreign exchange.
"Go up and pretend to ask casually what technology they want to transfer and how much it costs. Once you figure that out, we can come up with a plan."
"I understand."
Wan Feng did not walk with Mi Guangnan, but lagged behind by a few steps, following him neither far nor close, like a follower.
Mi Guangnan walked leisurely to Asmi's booth and greeted the two stunned men in the booth.
Then I started chatting with the two foreigners.
One of the two foreigners could speak English, and the two of them started chatting for more than ten minutes.
After talking for a while, Mi Guangnan turned around and asked Wan Feng, who was standing behind him, to translate.
"The other party does want to transfer the lithography machine technology, but it's a lens-type non-contact type. I have never seen this and it's not available on the market. Will this thing work?" Mi Guangnan was unsure.
He suspected that these foreigners were scammers.
“How much transfer fee do they want?”
"Fifteen million dollars!"
Something that no one has ever seen costs 15 million. Mi Guangnan's suspicion is justified.
But in Wan Feng's mind, it was another matter.
According to the international exchange rate, it was 60 million Chinese yuan. This price was already astonishing at the time, but Wan Feng didn't think it was expensive.
This will be the most important component that can create a chip market worth hundreds of billions of yuan in the future.
Even if the other party asked for 100 million yuan, Wan Feng would not think it was expensive. Of course, he would not pay so much money.
According to business practice, the price must of course be bargained down. Every penny cheaper is a penny cheaper, and every cent cheaper is a cent cheaper.
He expected to have no problem cutting 32 million, and if he could cut 5 million, he would make a profit.
"Tell him that if they can offer a lower price, we are ready to take it over and ask them about the deal."
They don't have that much money, and it's not easy to buy back Western technology. Even unsuccessful products will be harassed by the COCOM Committee.
Mi Guangnan started chatting with the other party in bird language for a long time.
After sitting there for almost two days, a buyer finally came, and the two foreigners were a little excited.
They talked for a long time.
"They said it could be cheaper. Of course, the transaction was cash on delivery. They wanted RMB. The information is all in this computer and box. They also have a prototype that didn't work."
Any prototypes?
This way the price is worth it. Even if it is a failed prototype, there must be some good parts in it.
Those places that have not failed are so precious to the Chinese people.
But the problem of paying money first is not easy to solve.
Where can he get rice and dollars?
Even if he has Mi Yuan here, how can he get it back?
If these foreigners could send this information to China...
This is simply impossible.
"Tell them the deal is 12 million RMB. Have them leave their detailed address and contact information. We'll come pick up the machine in two weeks. We'll pay you and deliver it to you."
When Mi Guangnan went to negotiate again, the other party's expression changed and he seemed very disappointed.
"The foreigners said that 12 million Mi Yuan is no problem, but what if you don't buy it? They want a deposit of 100,000 Mi Yuan."
You're dreaming. I only exchanged 120,000 Mi Yuan in total. If I give you 100,000, we can just walk back!
"Ask them if they can send these things to Xianggang. If they do, give them one million yuan as a fee."
Mi Guangnan went to negotiate again.
The two foreigners were named Currit and Calder.
They also knew that Wan Feng and his group were Chinese, so it would be difficult to close this deal.
After negotiations, the two sides agreed that Wanfeng would send someone to contact them, and then they would find a way to hand these things over to the people sent over here through normal trade, and help send the goods to Eagle Country.
