Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth forced palace
"Of course, Nikon doesn't have to do this." Tsuruta coughed and said, "But at present, it is not a safe choice to place the production line in China."
He thought for a while and continued: "Compared with China's turbulent political environment, Japan is much safer. Of course, if China's land, relationships and personnel are no longer used, the shares of Fanhan Group in Fanny Optical Manufacturing Company should be adjusted accordingly - and the shares in the lithography machine subsidiary must also be reduced."
Hetian is indeed cutting off the firewood. If the lithography machine production line is transported out of China, Nikon, which owns the advantageous shares, asks to redefine the shares, and Fanhan Group cannot object.
"Are you not afraid of others saying that you are killing the donkey when Nikon does this?" Zhou Shuo asked with a frown.
Tsurutian chuckled and shook his head, "Zhou Sang, business is business, please do not have personal emotional factors."
Tsuruta had reason to be happy. Zhou Shuo did not come up with any reason to indicate that this practice was violated, but instead refuted it with the principle of human nature. This angle itself means that he has no chance to turn the tables.
Zhou Shuo shrugged his shoulders and nodded and admitted: "Okay, I'm not professional anymore. So, Nikon is sure to turn against Fanhan Group?"
Tsuruo glanced at Zhou Shuo and said proudly: "How can this be said to be a rebellion between Nikon and Fanhan Group? If you want to rebellion, first of all, you must have this face! Apart from immersive lithography technology, does Fanhan Group have any other advantages that can be taken advantage of? Can your scale be compared with Nikon, or can your technology be compared with Nikon? Or can your capital be compared with Nikon?"
Tsuruda shook his head proudly and said proudly: "No. None! The cooperation between Fanhan Group and Nikon should see its own value clearly, rather than always put forward unrealistic fantasies."
Zhou Shuo was not upset by his words, but asked with a smile: "Nikon is so sure. Is he sure of winning?"
"Of course, Zhou Sang doesn't know yet. In another month, we Nikon will be able to develop our own waterproof photoresist technology." Tsuruda sneered: "If it weren't for the pleasant cooperation in the past, we could have put aside the Fanhan Group and do our own thing."
"Oh, it seems that Tsuruda Specialist is really prepared." Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "Why do you think about the waterproof photoresist? I'm afraid I'm still referring to the samples we sent?"
Tsurutian laughed and nodded and said, "Well, Zhou Sang can be absolutely relieved. We promise that it will not infringe on your patents in this regard."
This is not the nonsense of Tsuruda. Things like waterproof photoresist are actually only an idea. Once you find a breakthrough point and clarify the solution, it is easy to achieve technology substitution. Especially for large companies like Nikon, if you don’t have to worry about the cost of scientific research investment, it is still feasible to come up with an improvement plan within a month.
Zhou Shuo sighed and shook his head and said, "It seems that Nikon is determined to eat our shares in Fanhan Group."
"Actually, Zhou Sang would consider it. Now sell the shares in your hands to us for $500 million." Tsuruo was very satisfied with Zhou Shuo's tactfulness and said persuasively: "Otherwise, when the lithography machine production line is moved back to Japan, the shares in your hands will not be worth the money."
Tsuruda was talking, and the door of the conference room was suddenly opened from outside. Manager Zhao from the Public Relations Department walked in with heavy steps. He said to Zhou Shuo with a heavy expression.
"Mr. Zhou, these provincial leaders insist on seeing you..."
"The leaders of the province?" Zhou Shuo was not panicked at all, nodded and smiled: "All leaders are welcome to visit Fanhan Group for inspection and guidance. Xiao Zhao will arrange for me to invite everyone to lunch."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Manager Zhao nodded and turned around and walked out.
Zhang Yinqian walked out of the civil servant queue, looked at Zhou Shuo with a cold face and said, "Zhou Shuo, the president of Fanhan Group, isn't it? I am Zhang Yinqian, the leader of the investigation team. This is my work certificate. We are an investigation team composed of relevant departments and bureaus, and based on reports obtained through special channels, we suspect that there are illegal acts in the operation of Fanny Optical Manufacturing Company. Please cooperate with us to conduct the investigation."
"Hahahaha--" Before Zhou Shuo could speak, Tsuruta laughed and shook his head and said, "Zhou Sang, look, I said before that your Panhan Group's public relations are not doing well, and it is not the result we want to develop to this point. Now it seems that China's investment environment cannot meet Nikon's needs, and it can only move the lithography machine production line back to Japan."
Zhou Shuo glanced at Shirata and shook his head and said, "Mr. Shirata, it seems that there is some Nikon shadow in this investigation team!"
This is simply a lice on the bald man's head - it's obvious! How could he come to force the palace to the front foot? The provincial investigation team came to perform after the back foot? As long as someone with an IQ on the average line, even if there is no evidence in his hand, it will never affect his judgment.
"Zhou Sang should not slander people. As a Japanese company, how can we make the Chinese government do things?" Tsuruda said so, but anyone could tell the expression on his face that was not that true at all. His complacent almost gave a sign and wrote "It's me who did it, come and beat me!"
"It's too unauthentic to do this." Zhou Shuo sighed disappointed and shook his head and said, "Actually, I admire Nikon's efficiency and high quality during the cooperation process, but I didn't expect that you were like this today..."
"Zhou Sang, I like the martial arts of you Chinese very much, it means that you never get tired of deception!" Hetian laughed. When things have developed to this point, it seems that the acquisition of shares in Fanhan Group is a foregone conclusion. Seeing that Nikon was about to win the full contribution, he couldn't help but relax.
"Zhou Sang, I'll say a few more words. This is Nikon's last advice to you." Tsuruta was in a good mood and said more unconsciously: "International competition has never been warm, but full of cruel intrigues. You Chinese are too benevolent, moral, and dedication. This is not possible! Capital is snobbish, and you will not look up to people with noble character, but will only have a strong eye for people with strength!"
Tsuruchi Zhi looked at Zhou Shuo with pride and raised his head and said, "The relationship of cooperation has never appeared among two parties with similar strength. For those who cooperate like Nikon and Fanhan Group, one of them will be eaten or driven away by the other party in the end. You are wrong, and you are overestimating the ethics of your country's officials..."
"I have never overestimated anyone." Zhou Shuo reached out to stop Tsuruta and shook his head, "But there is something Mr. Tsuruta said right. Cooperation will only appear among two parties with similar strength. So, I think we will still go to your Yangguan Road from now on, and I will cross my single-plank bridge."
"Oh, Zhou Sang seems to have figured it out!" Tsuruda nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "Then let's sign the agreement now. No matter what, Nikon still has to thank you for giving us the position of the overlord of the lithography machine market."
"No hurry, our country's civil servants have not finished speaking." Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "Although Mr. Tsuruta's methods are not very glorious, at least the decency is still something to be said? Please allow me to deal with what is happening in front of me first, and then talk about our contract."
Tsuruta thought about it and was already sure to win at this time, so he was not in a hurry. So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then wait a little while, but our time is very precious, and we can wait for you for up to half an hour."
"Ten minutes are enough." Zhou Shuo chuckled softly.
After saying that, he turned around and asked Zhang Yinqian: "I have already understood the purpose of Captain Zhang's visit. Our Panhan Group has always been a law-abiding enterprise. Cooperating with the state's investigation of us is also an obligation for a citizen. So, I don't know what work we need to do to cooperate with your investigation?"
Zhang Yinqian was about to speak, but Yu Xiaoping suddenly stood up. He looked at the Japanese with a gloomy face, then turned his head to Zhou Shuo and said, "Mr. Zhou, in order to cooperate with the investigation, please immediately seal all accounts of Fanny Optical Manufacturing Company, prohibit any relevant personnel from leaving China, and - sealing the entire lithography machine production line!"
"Nani!" Tsuruta stood up in disbelief when he heard the translator's simultaneous interpretation, and shouted: "You do not have this power. The lithography machine production line is the property of Nikon. The Chinese government has no right to interfere with its stay or leave!"
This is different from the script that was agreed upon! The Chinese sealed the lithography machine production line, how could Nikon transport it back? The previous plan was to check the accounts and check people. It was impossible for the Japanese to make the idea of Qin Yu to develop the lithography machine production line. Until Fanhan Group under strong investigation pressure, in order to get rid of possible lawsuits, it is necessary to sell its shares.
But at this moment, Tsuruta slowly realized that things had lost his control!
"Do you know what company we are Nikon? What are the consequences of doing this?" Tsuruda shouted in fear: "I want to complain to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country, to complain to the Japanese Embassy, and to make you bureaucratic behavior cost you!"
