182 Return

Although both of them gave the final offer, it was obvious that neither of them was very satisfied with the other's offer.

However, one wanted to buy and the other was going to sell. After another verbal battle, it finally reached an agreement. Nikon agreed to sell 30 S620d lithography equipment like Tianshu Technology and pay another $1.3 billion to exchange Tianshu Technology's euv lithography technology research and development data. At the same time, every lithography machine designed to euv technology sold by Nikon in the future must be distributed to Tianshu Technology for 5% of the profit.

Of course, the corresponding parties must sign a series of restrictive clauses. For example, Tianshu Technology shall not transfer the euv technology to other companies; Tianshu Technology has the right to inquire about the production and sales of the euv lithography machine of Nikon's lithography department at any time, etc.

Jiro Yeyama even proposed to use this transaction in exchange for more ice-core battery share and lower prices. However, all of them were flatly rejected by Wang Zhengyu.

In Wang Zhengyu's original words, "Do you think I look like a sucker?"

In short, Wang Zhengyu was still very satisfied with the whole deal. Not only did he get the equipment he needed most recently, he also made $1.3 billion. In the future, the company also made a steady stream of more money. Although not much, it is better than nothing. What he paid was only the technology that was destined to be eliminated in a few years. What he had to do with him was to be eliminated. What's more, he also had follow-up plans, and the future would definitely not be as beautiful as Nikon imagined at this time. At least Wang Zhengyu would not give Nikon the opportunity to monopolize the high-end lithography machine market.

So at 10 o'clock that night, after both parties finally signed a draft agreement, Wang Zhengyu was in a very happy mood. He even had no feeling of fatigue that he should have for a day. At least after politely rejecting the banquet from Nikon and sitting in the car, Wang Zhengyu was still very energetic.

"Boss, are you really planning to sell the euv lithography machine technology to Nikon?" Compared with the pleasure at this time, Huang Shanshan was obviously not very interested.

"Otherwise? The conditions have basically been agreed upon. Can I still regret it?" Wang Zhengyu said naturally.

"Don't you think it's too cheap? As I understand, Asmay's research on euv devices costs a lot, billions of dollars. Aren't we too cheap from Japanese islanders?" Huang Shanshan said muffled.

"The account is not calculated like this. Then it needs to be research investment in the laboratory, purchase or development of euv light sources, etc. You must know that Nikon is not starting from scratch now. In fact, they have spent all the money they should spend in the early stage. Even without the technology I provide, they have spent so much money. In the end, they can develop it. My technology only saves them time. Of course, it does take this time for them. You must know that Asmay started selling their euv pre-production equipment three years ago. So this is called "harmony is beneficial." Wang Zhengyu, in a good mood, explained patiently.

"Okay, boss, what you said makes sense. But it always feels strange to do business with people from Hijima. By the way, now that the transaction has been completed, should we change the itinerary and go back directly, or visit Canon as planned?" After hearing Wang Zhengyu's answer, Huang Shanshan turned to ask.

"Since I'm here, of course I have to visit. Anyway, both companies are not far from Tokyo, not to mention that I want to do business with Canon." Wang Zhengyu stretched and said.

"Didn't we already buy the equipment we need? What other transactions do we need?" Huang Shanshan asked in confusion.

"Of course it's still the business of lithography machine technology! We have to train Nikondo to produce a competitor. Without competition, it will be no fun." Wang Zhengyu said in a divine manner.

The only regret that Wang Zhengyu felt was that these two lithography machine manufacturers were both Hidao companies. Although their products overlapped, they have always maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding in competition with each other. For example, the camera business of the two companies in China uses the dislocation competition method, and their camera products can be said to have advantages for each other.

However, Wang Zhengyu also believes that lithography machines are different from cameras after all. Especially in the highest-end lithography machines products, this reflects the core competitiveness of the two companies. They must also use the best industrial design and manufacturing processes to enhance the core competitiveness of the brand.

So he must sell the difficulties of nanoimprint lithography to Canon. Even if it is just for the purpose of creating a competitor for Nikon, he must sit at this point.

"Boss, don't say that you have the nano-imprint lithography technology in your hand?" Huang Shanshan covered her head and said.

"Is this strange? I was ready for both things when I came to Japan Island. If Nikon refused to agree to this deal, I would have to have a backup plan, right? Do you really pay 80 million US dollars per unit to buy the s620d lithography machine that is destined to be eliminated? I am not a sucker, and I am very short of money!" Wang Zhengyu curled his lips.

"Boss, let's just tell us what you said. If you really want to tell others, it will easily cause hatred and you will be beaten!" Lin Bai couldn't help but say.

"Which sentence?" Wang Zhengyu didn't come back to his senses for a moment.

"What sentence do you say you are short of money!" Lin Bai emphasized.

"Oh!" Wang Zhengyu sighed, looked out the window and said in a rare tone: "It's true, I'm really short of money!"

Wang Zhengyu's tone was not sure whether it was true or false, leaving no one in the car talking, and everyone was silently digesting various emotions. In the end, the three of them stayed on the island of Japan for another three days. Wang Zhengyu's negotiations with Canon simply continued Nikon's negotiation steps. Except for not making any requests to purchase a lithography machine, the rest were carried out according to routines.

He threw out the information and gave the other party time to study it, and then there was another tug-of-war of bargaining all day. Even Wang Zhengyu's arguments during the negotiations were exactly the same. If the occasion was not too formal, Huang Shanshan couldn't help but give her boss a few hygiene eyes for free.

In the end, the two parties sold for a total of $2 billion, the same as the contract signed with Nikon. In the future, each of the nano-pressure engraving and lithography machines sold by Canon must also give Tianshu Technology a 5% profit.

At this point, Wang Zhengyu's trip to the island was successfully concluded. He got the lithography machine and there were 3.3 billion US dollars in his pocket. In Lin Bai and Huang Shanshan's opinion, this trip to the island should be considered perfect, but obviously Wang Zhengyu was not satisfied. As soon as he got on the plane, he began to discuss the next wave of money-making plans with the two.

"Shanshan, how much does it cost to sell our complete 193nm immersive lithography technology to Mingzhu Microelectronics Equipment Company?"

"Boss, you have sold both the latest technologies to Hijima people. Do you want to use this backward technology?" Huang Shanshan obviously didn't expect that Wang Zhengyu was still considering this issue and asked incredible.

"That can't be said. In the future, this technology will indeed lag behind, but at present it is still the world's highest-end lithography technology. Besides, even if we don't sell it, it will cost money to invest in R&D? Do you think the Japanese or Dutch people will give us this technology for free? What's more, this technology is not meaningless. Not all chips require 10nm or even lower processing technology. In fact, except for some of the most important chips, the general chip 45nm-22nm process is enough. So this 193nm immersive lithography technology is still very practical." Wang Zhengyu once again popularized with Huang Shanshan.

"I don't know much about these things, but boss, you also said that this technology is destined to fall behind. So why don't you sell the latest technology to China?" Huang Shanshan asked back angrily.

"You don't understand this. Whether it is euv lithography technology or nanoimprint lithography technology, domestic research is far from keeping up with the world's three major lithography machine providers. Take euv light sources as an example. These are all blocked technologies and cannot be produced by themselves in China at all, let alone the various equipment needed to study euv. So for China, these technologies are of little use. Even if I sell them to China, it will be difficult to produce results within two or three years. When domestic results are produced, these technologies will be eliminated. Do you think I am cheating on our own people? But the 193nm immersive technology is different. They already have the ability to produce such products. With my information, they can produce results in the laboratory in about half a year, and basically produce energy in one year, so this is the most suitable technology for the current domestic stage." Wang Zhengyu said seriously.

"Okay, I can't compete with you, but I think you're really tempted by money, boss!" Huang Shanshan raised her hand and surrendered.

"Uh? Is it that obvious? Well, then I decided to sell it to the Mingzhu Microelectronics Equipment Company at a cheap price. It's just one billion, it's absolutely good and cheap." Wang Zhengyu said on his own.

"Billion?" Huang Shanshan stared at Wang Zhengyu with wide eyes and said, "I said boss, you are too naughty, right?"

"I'm talking about RMB, so I'm not so sad. It's not enough to study one billion RMB by themselves!" Wang Zhengyu shook his head and said, "It's settled. Since you are very enthusiastic about this, I'll leave this matter to you. When you go back, you can contact them. Just this price!" Wang Zhengyu decided to say.

"But……"

"Okay, Shanshan, don't do it anymore. I think the price is quite reasonable. If you don't let them get some blood, you won't be sure that others will take this technology seriously. It's not impossible to throw it into a year or two before starting research and development. If you give this money, it will at least be valued!" Lin Bai interrupted lazily.

"That's right, we Comrade Xiaobai understands the truth. Actually, I think so too!" Wang Zhengyu agreed dispensably.

"Boss, I'm older than you!"

“These are not the point!”
