Yongshan Xuando stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look into the corridor. A group of Nikon employees were surrounded by him, and he couldn't help but muttering in a low voice.

"Hey, I said Yongshan Jun, according to your opinion, do we have the chance to take over the Intel business?" Shun Oguri bit his big finger cover and looked at the door of the conference room uneasily, as if he could see the fierce battle situation inside through the door that was ten centimeters thick.

"It's hard!" Yamaguchi Akama next to him looked like an old pedantic and shook his head, "Intel has never really looked down on us Nikon. We all support Asmai in open and secretly. There is nothing we can do about this. Our Japanese electronics industry is not worse than that of Americans, but not as much as the Germans as they are..."

"That's normal!" Shun Oguri was not satisfied with Yamaguchi's ambition to destroy his might, and said hummingly: "This time, our Nikon took out a completely advanced generation of equipment than Asmai. If Intel still insisted on favoring Asmai, would he still have a reputation?"

"Hey, it is precisely because we want to throw Asma out this time that Intel wants to be too far-fetched!" Yamaguchi Akama said with a sense of superiority: "If we let Nikon win this order completely, then Asma's shareholders will have to go home to eat themselves! From then on, Intel's lithography machine can only be used by our Nikon. Can Americans bear this lifeline in our hands?"

"Hey, Mr. Nagayama!" Shun Oguri pushed Aodo Nagayama and asked curiously: "You know the most about the ins and outs here, and your relationship with Minister Shiraishi is very good-"

Speaking of this, not only Shun Oguri, but the group of people in the corner subconsciously made a wave of despicable laughter. After enough laughter, he continued to ask, "Let's talk, we will win the Americans this time. Is it big or not?"

As Oguri Shun was talking, Aodo Nagayama suddenly withdrew his head that had been poked out, which scared everyone.

"Shh!" Ayama Aoto made a gesture of silence and said in a low voice: "Minister Shiraishi is here, hurry up and get ready!"

"Oh!" After hearing his words, a group of people stood up in a mess, each holding a bunch of documents in their hands.

The sound of high heels hit the marble corridor in the Nikon headquarters building. Shiraishi Masalina wearing a dark blue professional female ol suit, I don’t know if it was the special cutting effect or the cost was too strong, but I always felt that the majestic on my chest was going to break the button.

"Minister Shiraishi!" A group of people stood in a row in a regular manner. Seeing Shiraishi Morina walked out of the corner, they bowed and shouted.

"481,488,514,526,534, prepare these five documents immediately." Shiraishi Morina was not polite to them, and directly ordered: "After summarizing the information, I will hand it over to Aoshi Yongshan. Lord Yongshan, come with me!"

"Oh, hey!" Ayama Aoto rushed to receive the documents handed over by the person next to him, and then followed Shiraishi Morina with a thick stack of files.

There was no tit-for-tat quarrel in the conference room, but the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people feel a little weak. When Nagayama Aoto walked in with Shiraishi Morina, everyone's eyes couldn't help but briefly put on him for a moment.

Just this moment of pressure, he almost threw all the documents in his hand on the ground. Fortunately, he quickly sat in the top of Tsuruma and made a sound in time.

"Intel seems to have made up his mind and targeted Nikon completely?" Tsuruda looked at Stephen, the leader of the inspection team with a bright look, and his voice was chilling.

Stephen smiled indifferently, and said, "You can't say that, there are many factors that need to be considered for Intel procurement, and performance has never been the only indicator."

Tsuruta and Stephen were talking back and forth. The words of confrontation in the above made Ayama Atsudo feel frightened. In Tsuruta's tone, it seemed that this was not fighting for Intel's orders, but scolding his subordinates. This was really eye-opening for him, who had always nodded and bowed before bringing business!

The so-called customer is God. In Tsuruta's opinion, it is completely shit. Whoever is God and who is the lamb is not about their own identities, but about the chips in their hands. Now the chips in Nikon are the kings who can't lose no matter how much they lose! If the price of the lithography machine is to consider, then you are waiting to be surpassed by Amd!

The so-called big shop bullying customers, and big shop bullying stores, all of them are like this. Although Japan recognizes an American father, it has never been satisfied with this father among the people. Since Intel does not want to do this transaction, it can be used to enable our Japanese companies to upgrade their technology! At that time, our high-tech products will be sold to the United States, and it depends on how Intel will gain a foothold!

When did lithography machine process upgrade, the final cost was not rolling upward? Now, a lithography machine with a total of 700,800 US dollars can be put on a whole production line in the 1970s and 1980s! When Intel released the 4004cpu in 1971, the process level was only 10 microns, and the cost of the entire factory was this number. Although the US dollar was much more expensive at that time, it still could not be compared with the cost of today's wafer factories.

In any previous technology upgrade, did Intel ever call it expensive? They don't call it because the high cost of purchasing production equipment has raised the industry threshold, so that they don't have to deal with endless competitors. Now Stephen feels it's expensive, and that's not because they can't afford it.

"I can think that Intel is not ready to fulfill its intention to cooperate with us Nikon?" Tsuruda sneered: "There is no way. I think Amd should be more interested in the 0.25 micron lithography machine."

Stephen's face changed slightly, and amd was not worth worrying. They were always just pursuers of Intel. But their innate badness made them never have hope of chasing. But this does not mean that Intel can rest assured. At least in 1996, its dominant position was not as strong as others imagined.

Not to mention Japanese, Wanwan, and Koreans are also catching up in the chip industry, and Europeans are not satisfied with their profits in the field of arm. If Intel shows a little fatigue in the craft race or even fails to react, maybe these guys who want to eat meat will pounce on them.

Intel can occupy the market and maintain a high-profit model for a long time, which is inseparable from its always at the forefront of technology. Today, Nikon dares to threaten to supply Amd first, and perhaps in a blink of an eye, it can also sell the equipment to TI, Siemens, or Nec and Toshiba? This is almost certain that happened!

The memorandum signed before is bound by both parties. Intel's rejection of Nikon is considered to be a breaking promise. If Nikon does not provide Intel with the right to purchase first, it will also be a breach of trust.

But if Intel gives up this priority, Nikon can sell it to others. You must know that with Intel's order quantity, Nikon must hurry up and produce it for one year. In this way, Intel will have the opportunity to maintain a competitive advantage of more than one year with other competitors.

"No, Intel just needs to conduct detailed research. As for whether we can purchase this batch of lithography machines from Nikon, we have not yet concluded." A layer of sweat began to appear on Stephen's forehead. He really didn't have the courage to reject Nikon's proposal immediately at this time.

"Time?" Tsuruta knocked on the table and taught a lesson without hesitation: "You don't want to delay ASMA to complete their product development, right? Will Intel compensate us for the economic losses caused to us Nikon!"

"This..." Stephen subconsciously shook his head and hummed: "How is this possible? We have a program for doing things in Intel, and it is impossible to give an exact time."

"Then there is nothing we can do." Tsuruda was tough this time. He said without hesitation: "If Intel cannot fulfill the content of the memorandum, or cannot give Nikon a reply within a month, we will have to choose other companies to cooperate."

Tsuruda knew that it was useless to put on a low posture at this time. From the perspective of Intel, the current situation is really the worst. As long as Nikon's progress can be dragged to ASMA to complete the research and development, it can still calmly balance Nikon and ASMA.

That's why simple pleading is meaningless to Intel. At this time, Nikon must come up with conditions that can threaten it in order to achieve its goals.

At this time, Intel will definitely be hard or soft.

It was precisely because of Tsuruda's strong determination that Stephen was under such great pressure. As the main figure of the procurement committee, he could not avoid this matter no matter what decision he made. No matter what decision he made, it is certain that Intel would not have a good life.

Just when he was in a dilemma, James, who had gone out to answer the phone before, came back. As soon as he sat down, he lay in Stephen's ear and started whispering.

The conference room was quiet at this time, and everyone's attention was focused on the two people.

The fierce confrontation between the two actually happened in just a short period of time. When Stephen was forced into the corner by Tsuruta, Ayama Aoto had not even completed the distribution of the information.
