"Hou Sang, I am Yongshan Xuandou." Yongshan Xuandou laughed very amiable, as if the ones opposite were reborn parents.

"Hello, Mr. Yongshan!" Hou Jing also quickly lowered his head and greeted him, and then said after both parties sat down: "Mr. Yongshan may not know much about Huajing Group. We are currently the largest and most advanced wafer factory in China. We have just been restructured and transformed from a state-owned enterprise. I also hope to introduce a batch of lithography machines from Nikon as production equipment."

Yongshan Xuando looked at Hou Jing’s decent clothes and his impression of him became much better. He nodded and smiled: “No problem, Hou Sang has any need. Just speak. We are a world-renowned lithography machine manufacturer and will definitely meet your requirements.”

Hou Jing smiled and nodded, "That's great. Our Huajing Group intends to buy 40 0.5 micron lithography machines. Here is our tender invitation letter."

"0.5 micron wire? This is impossible!" Yongshan Xuando shook his head like a rattle. From the moment he heard this word, he made a rejection judgment almost without thinking: "The lithography machine with the 0.5 micron process is a device that is prohibited from being exported to China by our country. It is impossible to export to China before the Chinese government lifts the ban. In fact, with your technology, it is better to start exploring from 0.8 micron. I have several 0.8 micron lithography machines here, you can refer to it..."

"Mr. Yongshan, shouldn't you report to the senior management of your company first before you can make a decision?" Hou Jing had to interrupt Yongshan Xuandou's words. He deeply remembered the power corresponding to the powers of various departments and positions of Nikon in the information given to him by Zhou Shuo. As a section chief, Yongshan Xuandou has no right to make any judgments on such projects with an amount of over 100 million yuan.

"Please don't increase my workload in vain!" Yongshan Xuandou looked at him indignantly, as if he was watching an unreasonable child: "Do you know how much work I have to do every day? How many customers do I have to meet, and how many important things to discuss? Our Japan is different from your China! My work efficiency is directly related to income. My child is preparing to go to kindergarten, but the house loan at home has not been paid off..."

Yongshan Xuando waved his hand irritably, stood up and said, "And your unnecessary requests will only increase my workload and will eventually be rejected by the senior management. All my work on your project will eventually become meaningless behavior! You Chinese are willing to waste your time and do these unspeakable things. But please don't waste my life!"

"Mr. Yongshan is too arbitrary. Why are you so sure that Nikon will not sell us a 0.5-micron process lithography machine?" Hou Jing also refused to give in. He said tit-for-tat: "If you have a family that needs to be raised and time cannot be wasted. Then we have more than a thousand employees and five or six thousand families in Huajing. Isn't it worth asking your superiors for advice?"

"It's ridiculous. Even if you Chinese have a time of 1,000 people, how can you compare with me?" Yongshan Xuando looked at Hou Jing contemptuously and ridiculed: "We Japan is the second largest economy in the world. How much do you China have? My income alone can match you one hundred of you! I have more than 20 colleagues under me, why can't I say that it is more important than you?"

Hou Jing was speechless by Yongshan Xuandou for a moment. He had a post as a section chief like him. He had a monthly income of US$5,000. It could really be worth the salary of 100 people in China if he converted it into RMB...

"But this is not the reason why you fail to perform your duties, Mr. Yongshan, right?" Hou Jing said without discouragement: "Isn't Nikon's company paying you basic salary just to let you do these things? Passing my request to the upper level is your main responsibility. Please be more professional!"

"My responsibilities? My responsibilities also have to make my own judgment on the project. Otherwise, I have to report everything to the top, wouldn't it be a waste of my superior's time?" Yongshan Xuanto said impatiently: "Hou Sang, please don't waste my time anymore. I still have something to do, please allow me to take my leave first."

"Wait. Mr. Yongshan." Hou Jing stopped him and said sincerely: "This is a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I advise you to think clearly before making a decision. In addition to sending bid invitations to Nikon, I will also visit Canon. My colleagues will also send invitations to Asmay and our China Fanhan Group. As a stranger, we have no personal grudges. We just remind you just for your own good. If these companies eventually win this order because of your prejudice, Nikon may not agree to your current reason."

Hou Jing's words successfully silenced Yongshan Xuandou. Whether he accepts the bidding invitation at this time is indeed not something he can decide. If Hua Jing only purchases from Nikon, of course it is Nikon's own business to buy or not sell. Even if Canon and Asmay are brought up, it is impossible for China to break through trade barriers so easily. But he keenly realized that when Hou Jing expressed the purchaser, he even mentioned a domestic Chinese company. Although it was a name that he had never heard of, no matter whether the matter was true or false, he could not ignore it.

"You mean, your Huajing Group has also sent a bid invitation to one of your domestic companies?" Yongshan Xuando sat down again and asked with a frown.

"That's right, Fanhan Research Institute, a subsidiary of Fanhan Group, announced earlier this year that they had mastered the lithography machine technology of the 0.5 micron process." Hou Jing said frankly.

"How is this possible?" Although Aoto Yongyama knew rationally that he should figure this out, he could not accept it emotionally: "Didn't your China have completed the research on 0.8 micron wire in the first half of this year? Did you say that in less than half a year, it broke through the technology of the 0.5 micron lithography machine?"

Seeing that Yongshan Xuandou was rarely serious, Hou Jing nodded vigorously and said, "At least that's what Fanhan Group said, and they have also launched a 0.5-micron process product, which seems to be called a U disk or something."

"This is too..." Aoto Nagayama shook his head and said in disbelief: "Since you can produce it in China, why do you still come to our Japan to purchase it?"

Hearing the loose meaning of his words, Hou Jing continued to work hard: "This is mainly because their products have just been finalized, and their technical maturity is probably not as good as Japanese products. Nikon's 0.5 micron lithography machine is mature in technology, and the product yield rate and technical parameters are better. We Huajing are very sincere and hope to use Nikon products on this production line."

Hou Jing was disgusted by his words and wanted to vomit. There was actually no big difference between purchasing and sales. Many times, he had to talk to people, talk to ghosts, and speak to those who flatter him and say the words that were flattered and flattered. No one could really put such words in his heart. Otherwise, life would be too unsuccessful? He should bow his head and ask others for help, of course he had to be aware of bowing his head.

Sure enough, after saying this, Yongshan Xuandou suddenly became a little proud. He nodded complacently and said, "Yes, it seems that your president of Huajing is still very sensible. Our Nikon is no.1 in the lithography machine industry. Canon, Asmay is not a rival at all, let alone your so-called Chinese company. How can the cutting-edge technology of lithography machines be created by just one company? I think it is probably a liar. When you invest money, they will make you continue to invest additionally, and in the end they probably won't be able to produce any finished products."

That being said, Aoto Nagayama still became serious. Japanese companies attach great importance to business intelligence. Even if Fanhan Group only has this possibility, it must collect information in advance. If the opponent really intends to develop in this regard, they will not be caught off guard.

"Mr. Yongshan said it is possible, haha." Hou Jing certainly wouldn't say that Fanhan Group is a liar. Without this reason, will Nikon look at him first? Of course, the greater the threat from Fanhan Group, the more likely it is to stimulate Nikon's bidding intention.

"But they have now launched a product based on 0.5 micron technology in our country. It is a 'U disk' with a capacity of 32m Nand memory." Hou Jing said half-truely: "If you really don't have any clues, you may not have taken out the product for other companies on the market to see it?"

"Oh? There is already a product!" Yongshan Xuando had to be cautious now: "I wonder if there is any physical product on Hou Sang?"

Hou Jing said intimately: God is really helping me!

Then he took out a small electronic product from his body and smiled and said, "This is the USB drive launched by Fanhan Group. Although it is only so large, it can store data with a capacity of 32m. It supports hot plugging of Windows 95, which can not only be used on the USB data interface, but also connect to the computer's serial port through the adapter..."

Before Hou Jing could finish his words, Yongshan Xuandou grabbed the U disk in his hand, turned it over and observed it.

This U disk was handed over to Hou Jing by Zhou Shuo in the information. As an important means of negotiation strategy, of course it is impossible to take it out directly. If you come up, you say, "Oh, we can already produce 0.5 micron wires in our country, Nikon will come over and strangle our scientific research power as soon as possible." Fools will know that this is a trap.

Now this will allow the Japanese to jump out and actively explore the progress of domestic technological development. The persuasiveness is naturally incomparable. (To be continued...)
