Soon, this news shocked the entire upper echelons of the Internal Affairs Bureau!
After hearing this news, the higher-ups who were out visiting immediately returned to the Internal Affairs Bureau!
As soon as a deputy director walked into the conference room, he asked impatiently,"Is it true? Mr. Shang said that they have the full set of technology for the photolithographic machine, and they even asked us if we were interested?”
"Yes, it's true." After seeing the last higher-up enter, the director of the Internal Affairs Department had someone send out a copy of the email communication between the liaison officer and the other party.
The higher-ups took a look!
The next second, someone cried out,"Five photolithographic machines?! When did Mr. Shang send over five engraving machines?”
"Today!" said the dean.
"Hiss ~!" The few higher-ups who were busy outside could not help but suck in a breath of cold air!
"I remember that the last time I contacted Mr. Shang was on the first day of the new year, right?”One of the higher-ups immediately said," Counting the time, it has been less than ten days! He actually sent over five photolithographic machines at once?!”
"If we were to take the sea route, there wouldn't be enough time, right?”
"Definitely not enough! The fastest direct cargo ship would take about 30 days to return from Europa! How did he do it?"
"They did come by sea, but they didn't come from Europe. They came from Thailand!" said the dean.”
Thailand?
Everyone was stunned!
" Yes." The director nodded." We checked the cargo ship. It departed from Thailand in the early hours of the second day of the new year and arrived at the port this morning.”
"In other words! After the other party received our request, they immediately arranged for the engraving machine to load and upload?! They had actually made this photolithographic machine long ago?!”
"But…why did they set off from Thailand? Could it be that they had brought the photolithographic machine to Thailand in advance?”
"Maybe we were wrong from the beginning!”Dean Xia Weimin proposed a new idea," This photolithographic machine might not have been obtained from somewhere else. It's very likely that they produced it themselves! And Thailand might have one of their bases!”
The director pointed at the last conversation on the document and said,"Maybe they didn't want to attract attention, so they only produced six in total!”
Hearing the dean's words, everyone's eyes fell on the last few emails!
"Is the other party really willing to cooperate with us to manufacture the photolithographic machine?!”After reading the record, some of the higher-ups were so excited that their voices trembled!
"I don't think he has the need to lie to us!" The dean said indifferently.”
That's right!
How could a person who could sell all six 2 nanometer-sized photolithographic machines to them at a bone price lie to them about such a thing?
Moreover, they were about to deliver 80 million tons of iron ore to their doorstep, and it would also be at a bone fracture price!
"So, everyone, what we need to discuss now is how we should cooperate with them!”
"Is there a need to say that? Since it was a cooperation, it was naturally a joint venture!”A higher-up immediately said.
" If it's a joint venture, then the other party must have invested in the technology," the dean said calmly." Then the question is, how much is a full set of technology that can realize the mass production of the 2-nanolithography machine worth?”
Hearing this, all the higher-ups could not help but fall into deep thought.
Today, the market value of the global photolithographic machine giant, Asmir, was 1.7 trillion!
The reason why the other party had such a high market value was none other than the world's most advanced photolithographic machine technology!
However, even for them, the most advanced technology they had now was only the 5 nanometer-scale technology. As for the 3 nanometer-scale technology, it would take a few years before they could develop it!
But what about Mr. Shang?
The moment it was made, it was already a mass-produced 2 nano technology!
Judging from the current speed of technological innovation, it was at least 20 years ahead of Ashmair!
If Asmir, which had a 5-nanometer-scale technology, had a market value of 1.7 trillion, how much would a set of technology that could mass-produce a 2-nanometer-scale photolithographic machine be worth?
"This…it should be at least 3 trillion, right?”
" More than that," another executive said." This technology is worth at least five trillion!”
"Hmm…"
For a moment, the meeting room fell silent!
Five trillion!
If they were to invest at this price, they would have to take out something worth at least trillions!
However, if you added up the land, all the manufacturing equipment, technicians, labor, and start-up capital, not to mention one trillion, it probably wouldn't even cost ten billion!
What are you going to use to form a joint venture with them?
"Then…can we not have a joint venture?”At this moment, a high-level executive proposed an idea." Why don't we just let the other party build a factory in the country in the form of sole ownership!”
"Sole ownership?" When everyone heard that, they could not help being stunned!
"According to the relevant laws and regulations, we currently do not allow foreign companies to build factories.”
"That's right! Up until now, there hasn't been a single wholly foreign-owned enterprise in our country!”
"So what?" At this moment, a higher-up raised a different opinion." The reason why we didn't allow foreign companies to build factories was because of the impact of foreign investment on our country's economic construction. But now, our country's economic size is no longer the same as before! I think it's time to make some changes to this policy!”
"I agree with Old Fang's opinion!”
After a brief silence, one of the higher-ups raised his hand."Our country is so big that we can't even accommodate a wholly foreign-owned enterprise!”
"I agree!"
Soon, more and more higher-ups raised their hands!
In the end, everyone raised their hands in agreement!
"Alright!" Seeing that all the higher-ups had agreed to this proposal, the dean nodded." I will communicate with them about this. Then, there is another problem.”
"If we agree to the other party's sole ownership of the factory, how can we cooperate with the other party? What role do we have to play in this process?”
“……”
For a moment, the higher-ups of the Internal Affairs Bureau were in a heated discussion in the conference room.
On the other side.
What Shen Lang did not know was that his words had caused the higher-ups of the Internal Affairs Department to hold a meeting for an entire day and night!
After ending the email communication with the Internal Affairs Department, Shen Lang took a look at his overseas account.
At this moment, there was already an additional 180 million USD in his account. If it was converted into Chinese currency, it would already exceed 1 billion!
With this money, Shen Lang immediately got Xiao 'ai to contact more than ten ocean shipping companies. They rented another sixty empty freighters and headed to China!
The next day, when Shen Lang brought his family to the design company to check on the progress of the design, Xiao 'ai sent him a notification.""The Internal Affairs Department sent an email!"
At that time, Shen Lang was talking to the designer, so he did not open it immediately.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Lang opened the email after he was done communicating with the designer.
On it were written:
"Mr. Shang, after our internal discussion, we are very sincere in cooperating with you in the production of the photolithographic machine!”
"Considering that the value of your technology is too high, if we take the form of a joint venture, I'm afraid it will harm your interests. Therefore, we are more inclined to support you to build a factory in China!”
"We will provide all the conveniences, including the factory site, factory construction, employee recruitment, and equipment! And we will give it to you at the lowest price in the market.”
"If you need funds, we can lend you money at the lowest bank interest rate.”
"Of course, we also have a condition. That is, after this factory starts construction in the future, the first 50 photolithographic machines must be supplied to our domestic production companies.”
"After 50 units, under the same price, we must also give priority to domestic production companies…"
Shen Lang read the email carefully and typed in three words: "We agree!"
