Chapter 1638: Is President Jiang safe?
"Lingling ~!"
early morning,
The embassy's phone rang, and the embassy staff answered it, and it was called by staff from the Dutch Ministry of Commerce.
"Please inform Mr. Jiang Hao that Minister Glen agreed to meet with Mr. Jiang Hao, and the time will be set at 4 pm today."
After receiving this news, Ambassador Xu was very surprised. Yesterday, the other party refused very simply. He didn't know why he suddenly changed today and agreed to meet Jiang Hao.
On the other hand, Jiang Hao was very calm after learning the news. He could be so young that he could not be surprised by his favors and disgraces. No wonder he could accomplish such a big career.
"Mr. Jiang, I will accompany you. I don't know why the other party suddenly changed his attitude. How is Mr. Jiang ready to deal with it? Have you thought of a remark?" Ambassador Xu asked.
"I hope I can impress the other party with sincerity." Jiang Hao said.
Ambassador Xu blinked and said to himself, "Impress the other party with sincerity." This word is very diplomatic. After only two days of chatting, he learned the skills of our diplomats.
In the afternoon of that day,
The Dutch Ministry of Commerce, accompanied by Ambassador Xu Lounnan, Jiang Hao met with Dutch Foreign Trade and Development Minister Glen. During the meeting, Jiang Hao expressed his hope that the Dutch government would allow ASML to export the batch of lithography machines.
Minister Glan rejected Jiang Hao's request very well and firmly.
"EUV lithography machines are the most advanced lithography machines in the world now. The only country in the world that can produce is the Netherlands and ASML. That kind of lithography machines are on the list of the "Wasenna Agreement" and are restricted from exporting goods from non-agreed members, so they cannot be exported to China."
While the two were talking, there were other officials accompanying him. Jiang Hao said goodbye regretfully, and hoped that the Dutch government would consider it again.
After the meeting between the two, the details of the meeting soon appeared in the hands of senior officials of the US CIA.
"Well, with Gran in front of us, we don't have to worry. He has no good impression of that Eastern country, haha." Humane said.
"What we are paying attention to now should not be this lithography machine transaction. He has always been very safe. I believe that the Netherlands will not offend us rashly. What we have to do now is how to catch Jiang Hao and get the technology we need. This is the key this time."
"Then let the people concentrate around Jiang Hao. As long as you find an opportunity, you can arrest them immediately, and then bring them back to the United States for as quickly as possible to be detained. As long as the person is in our hands, China will be useless even if it opposes it."
"Then I'll let them arrange it."
In this way, almost all the personnel were concentrated around Jiang Hao, just waiting for an opportunity to arrest him. But what made the intelligence personnel extremely depressed was that for a while later, Jiang Hao stayed in the embassy all day and didn't even go out.
"Is he an ascetic? He never thought about shopping and finding a girl or something?" someone said in surprise.
"The information says that he is a religious clergyman."
"If you don't drink, pick up girls, go shopping, or spend money, then why do he make so much money? I heard that his net worth has exceeded 50 billion US dollars. Oh my God, what's the point of such a life? I'm all uncomfortable for him." Someone said with a lip.
Did Jiang Hao really take a break?
Of course not.
Without anyone's attention, the Dutch Ministry of Commerce quietly passed an export application and issued an export license.
After obtaining the export license, someone started packing and transporting the lithography machines to the port.
I have to admire the speed of the US intelligence department's reaction. Although they have already withdrawn all the people and have done so much secretly, they received the news just one day after the matter.
The intelligence personnel were immediately exploded after receiving the news.
"It's obvious that we were deceived by that cunning guy. He must be doing things in secret. Now let's take action separately and continue to squat. As long as he comes out, he will directly arrest him under what circumstances. If the arrest fails, execution will be allowed."
"Also, sending people to stop all the lithography machines will definitely not allow them to arrive in China."
"Ask the Dutch government why such a mistake occurs? Are they ready to put themselves in the red arms?"
Intelligence personnel rushed to the dock and found it was too late. All the three cargo ships booked by Jiang Hao set sail and returned to China from different routes.
They have no way of knowing which ship those lithography machines are on, because there are hundreds of the same containers on each ship.
"Import the Navy immediately that it must find a way to intercept those cargo ships. They can't escape. By the way, one of them is a British cargo ship, and immediately order it to return for inspection." Humane said.
In fact, even if it is loaded, the United States will never let these lithography machines arrive in China. If problems arise, they will use force without hesitation.
The embassy gate opened, a car was used and went directly to the airport. Intelligence personnel saw two assistants following Jiang Hao through the car window. They guessed that Jiang Hao should also be in this car and immediately follow him and prepare to carry out the arrest at the airport.
However, after the embassy's car stopped at the airport, only two assistants got off the bus, and Jiang Hao was not seen. Accompanied by the embassy staff, they received the air ticket and boarded the plane on the external transportation route.
The intelligence personnel have not moved because their target is Jiang Hao. Once these assistants are arrested, they will inevitably be alarmed.
In this way, they watched the plane from the Netherlands to Shanghai take off.
They firmly believed that Jiang Hao must be still in the Netherlands, but after the surveillance, they found that Jiang Hao's figure never appeared again. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and disappeared.
Shet.
The intelligence officers knew that this time they were completely fooled.
at the same time,
Three cargo ships left the post, one Chinese cargo ship, one Hong Kong cargo ship and one British cargo ship. The British cargo ship obediently returned and underwent the most detailed inspection. No trace of the lithography machine was found on this ship, even a single piece of the accessories was not found.
As for the other two cargo ships, they have already sailed on the North Atlantic Ocean and started a one-and-a-half-month voyage.
The North Atlantic Ocean is the world of the American fleet. After learning about this, it immediately sent a warship and a submarine to track it.
They have made plans to use warships to intercept Hong Kong freighters for inspection. As for another Chinese freighter, in order to avoid causing disputes, they are preparing to sink directly with submarines, which is definitely a one-time and for all.
......
The news that ASML company fulfilled the contract and that China had transported the EUV lithography machine by freighter was naturally unable to hide it from others. This news was quickly exposed and attracted countless attention.
Chinese netizens were first surprised, and then became happy and inspired.
"My Brother Hao is so amazing. He actually bought the EUV lithography machine. I don't know how he used to tell the export license issued by the Dutch government. It's awesome."
"With lithography machines, are you still afraid of not having chips? The US blockade of us will completely collapse, which is very satisfying."
"Haoran Technology is worthy of being the most awesome technology company in China, and I will always fan you."
"Don't be too happy too early. The United States will not let the lithography machine arrive in China smoothly. They will definitely obstruct it in every way. There has been news that Haoran Company has ordered three cargo ships in total, one of which has been detained."
"I'll do it. The whole voyage will take one and a half months, 45 days. Oh my God, I'm afraid I'll be worried every day for these 45 days, and I'm praying that everything will go well."
At the same time, the Netherlands also received news.
The Prime Minister immediately called Minister of Commerce and Foreign Trade Minister Glen and shouted: "Why did you agree to this export transaction? Don't you know that this will cause Americans to pursue it?"
Gran looked indifferent, "In the era of free trade, why should the Netherlands be afraid of the United States? My behavior was done in full compliance with the Dutch's complete sovereignty, within the scope of law and authority."
The Prime Minister looked at Gran and was shocked that Gran actually said such words. Was he crazy?
Unfortunately, the Dutch Prime Minister doesn't know what "soul-capturing and mind-absorbing" means.
Just after walking out of the government office building, a group of reporters surrounded Gran. "Minister Gran, why do you agree to the export of EUV lithography machines? Is this violating the Wassenna Agreement? Will China disclose our technology if we obtain lithography machines?"
Gran had a stern face and showed a sense of justice. "Now is the era of free trade. ASML needs this order. The Netherlands is an independent country. Why should we live in the shadow of others? I believe that globalization is the road to the future, and the Netherlands will find a better survival position."
The reporters all looked at Gran foolishly. At this moment, Gran, who was giving a speech with his head high, was like a liberal fighter.
Within two days, Gran was removed from his post as Foreign Trade Minister and was formally investigated.
Gran was not a good person before, and Jiang Hao would not feel a little guilty for harming him, but Gran gained a group of Chinese supporters because of his actions and words this time.
Later, someone interviewed Wen Kening, president of ASML. Wen Gingning said lightly, "We are a company and sell products. This order was signed three years ago. Now we have received an export license issued by the Ministry of Commerce. So, everything ASML does is within the scope of law."
"As for politics, that's the matter of politicians. Please interview the government for that matter."
Wen Kening pushed himself cleanly.
The country is even more lively, with various reports coming in the air, and the people are excited, and a large number of reporters flock to Haoran Company to conduct an interview.
"Can we interview Mr. Jiang?"
"Mr. Jiang is not here."
"Where is Mr. Jiang?"
“Inspecting abroad.”
"Are you still in the Netherlands, or elsewhere?"
"Mr. Jiang's itinerary is confidential and it is not convenient to disclose it."
"Then can I ask, is Mr. Jiang safe now?"
The vice president of Haoran Company, who was in charge of the reception, smiled, "Of course, Mr. Jiang is very safe. When I came down to see you, Mr. Jiang also held a video conference for us and arranged a series of work, just 10 minutes ago."
"Oh~~ It's safe! It's safe!" The reporters nodded constantly.
Chapter completed!
