In the early years of reform and opening up, Chinese people were indeed not as efficient as Japanese people in terms of efficiency. On the one hand, the general allergies education level limited the efficiency of Chinese companies, and on the other hand, the entire environment has not yet been separated from the era of planned economy big pot rice.

Private enterprises are not as efficient as Japanese enterprises, let alone state-owned enterprises that need to transfer official documents. After Zhou Shuo and Ming Yeyu communicated, they saw that he was confident in solving the problem of investment channels. At first, they were very excited to call one a day, then one a day every two or three days, and then one a week. In the end, they were really impatient when they waited, so they had to push the contact matter to the secretary. As for the dignity of the mayor and department-level leaders of Xiuxi City, they were really unwilling to care about it.

Time is watching the thawing April enter the spring May. The spring of Xiucheng City in 1996 showed a unique vitality. Compared with the deadness of the past, the entire city seemed to suddenly come alive.

With the increase in investment popularity, the consumption capacity of Xiongcheng City people has also increased significantly. With more private cars on the street, people's dressing has become trendy. Even the neon lights on the roadside have become more colorful. Around the electronics industry and software industry, the economy of the entire Xiongcheng City has also begun to recover in the cold winter.

At the same time, a telegram related to China's future electronics industry also came across the ocean to the fax machine of Panhan Group. After completing the negotiations with Intel, Nikon hopes to hold a meeting with senior executives of Panhan Group.

In this way, before Bohai Heavy Industry did not make any movement, Nikon had reached a supply agreement with Intel for a new generation of lithography machines.

Shita almost couldn't wait to fly to the Embroidery City. For him, this will be the last battle, and Nikon will completely dominate the lithography machine market from now on - as long as he can fully grasp the 49% stake in Zhou Shuo's hands.

You should know that the profits of the lithography machine market are extremely attractive. Although Nikon is dominant on this acre of three-point land, it is not impossible for it to have a larger company. If there is a stronger force interested in this, it acquires shares in Nikon's lithography machine subsidiary from Zhou Shuo, and then increases capital injection to become the largest shareholder, which in turn squeezes Nikon out of this feast. This is not impossible!

After the Intel supply agreement was in hand, Nikon felt that he could no longer tolerate Zhou Shuo's existence. You should know that the entire US$1.2 billion lithography machine supply contract will be distributed to Zhou Shuo after 1997 according to equity distribution, which is one-tenth of Nikon's annual revenue.

"Turoda specialist, I think it's not appropriate to do this." Shiraishi Morina looked at Turoda with some embarrassment, and her huge chest was slightly undulating with her breathing. She said seriously: "The Fanhan Group has mastered the entire technology of immersive lithography machines. The lithography machine subsidiary has no position to put them aside from their own actions!"

"Haha, Minister Shiraishi... Oh, now I'm going to call you President Shiraishi. You won't really like to be this president, right?" Tsuruda smiled frivolously and continued: "After Nikon has completely mastered the lithography machine market, Fanhan Group has lost its value. You don't know yet? Taking advantage of this Intel inspection, we got a sample of waterproof photoresist."

Shiraishi Morina was stunned by the news about Tsuruda and suddenly realized: "Have the headquarters cracked the formula of waterproof photoresist?"

Tsuruda nodded confidently and smiled proudly: "That's right, the club asked Dongda University's photochemistry laboratory. After a month of research, a recipe has been produced. What we have to do next is how to kick the Chinese away!"

Tsuruta's fearlessness is not aimless. For Zhou Shuo, of course, it is impossible for him to apply for a patent in Japan. Many chemicals such as waterproof photoresist are not only one formula. If he rashly uses technology to apply for a patent in Japan, he might be asked to find a relationship and check the specific ratio.

Nikon will change the formula easily, or simply claim to have it shamelessly. Dake fought a protracted lawsuit with Fanhan Group. Anyway, it would be no strange for such patent lawsuits for two or three years or even five or seven years. When there is a result, it may be that immersive lithography technology has been eliminated.

Tsuruta obviously wanted to drive Fanhan Group out of the joint venture, and it was naturally the best time to sign a supply contract with Intel and before entering the performance stage.

Signing a contract ensures that Nikon's overlord position is unshakable, and before entering the performance stage, there is no need to pay too high premium for the shares in Zhou Shuo. You should know that the nominal future overlord and the actual optical technology market overlord, the equity prices of the two can be said to be a world of difference.

"By the way, those Chinese who are helping with the production line, you haven't disclosed too much about the technology, right?" Tsuruda suddenly remembered and grabbed Shiraishi's Morina and asked.

"No." Shiraishi Morina shook her head, tilted her head and said, "But Chinese people are very motivated to learn, and I don't know how much technology they can master at work."

"Nikon's technology is very precious, and you must not spread it at will." Tsuruda said with a frown, frowning.

"This Tsuruda specialist can be assured that Chinese employees will not pass on the technology." Shiraishi Morina said confidently: "I have studied the contracts signed by Fanny Optical Manufacturing and employees. Not only are we Japanese and the company re-signed labor contracts, but these Chinese also signed the same contract. In the terms of the contract, there are clear regulations on resignation, confidentiality and personnel transfer. If the corresponding terms are violated, a sky-high compensation will be paid."

"Oh!" Tsuruta obviously didn't pay attention to this and said with relief: "That's good. Anyway, the salary of Chinese people is not high. At worst, we can support them for a few years."

As the two were talking, they had already arrived at the large conference room on the top floor of the Fanhan Group headquarters. Naturally, there were secretary in charge of the reception to help them open the door. Tsuruda and Shiraishi Morina followed two rows of eight men and women, all wearing dark blue slim suits in the workplace. If you look at it from the appearance alone, you are really a capable and smart team.

"Hetian specializes in congratulations to Nikon and Intel for the successful negotiations!" Zhou Shuo also stood a row of people, including Liu Gang, the manager of Panhan Manufacturing, Zhao Zigan, the director of the electronics factory, Yao Dao, the manager of the monocrystalline silicon refinery, Liang Jinghui of Xinke Computer Company, Huang Shi, the former director of the Sixty-fourth Institute, currently the chairman of the Planning Committee of the Panhan Research Institute, and Dongfang Ke, who has officially taken over the daily operations of the group...

This time, Fanhan Group was full of people, and all the people of the embroidery city gathered together to welcome Hetian's arrival.

"Zhou Sang is so polite. You are also a member of Nikon." Tsuruta smiled and shook hands with Zhou Shuo. He said proudly: "From now on, Nikon will be the real overlord in the lithography machine market, and there will be no enemy who can challenge our position again!"

"Yes, from today on, it's time for us to enjoy the fruits of victory." Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and asked Tsuruta to sit on his left hand, while the members of the Fanhan Group sat on his right hand one by one.

"I just don't know what happened to Tsuruda here today?" Zhou Shuo looked at Tsuruda curiously and asked politely.

"That's it." Tsuruta touched his beard that he had specially decorated before going out today, and said as if no one else was around: "The main reason is that our Nikon company has a proposal, hoping to get Zhou Sang's consent."

"What is the proposal? Tsuruda specializes in saying it bluntly." Zhou Shuo nodded, indicating that he didn't have to be polite.

Tsuruda said firmly: "This proposal is that Nikon hopes to acquire the shares of Nikon lithography machine subsidiary in Zhou Sang's hands."

"What!"

"How can Nikon do this!"

"Isn't this killing the donkey?"

With the development of the Xiongcheng Software Park for Japanese software outsourcing business, the enthusiasm of Xiongcheng residents to learn foreign languages ​​has increased a lot. For example, among the Chinese people who are sitting there, there are a few who have a foundation in English and later learned Japanese.

As soon as Tsuruda said this, the senior executives of Fanhan Group who could understand Japanese could not help but scream. At this time, they wanted to kick Fanhan Group out. Isn’t this a typical example of killing a donkey!

Zhou Shuo sat on his head and pressed his arm, pressing the voice of the person below back. He turned to look at Tsuruda and asked seriously: "Is this his opinion on Tsuruda or has the Nikon board reached a consensus?"

"Of course, it has been approved. I am now officially making this proposal to Fanhan Group as a representative of Nikon's board of directors." Tsuruda Zhi said proudly: "Nikon has prepared a considerable amount of capital to buy shares in Zhou Sang. As long as your offer is not too outrageous, we are willing to pay more premiums appropriately."

Zhou Shuo tilted his head and looked at Hetian's proud face. It seemed that he was obviously determined to win the purpose of this trip, and his eyes were full of confidence.

"I believe Nikon also knows that I have not planned to go deep into the lithography machine market from the beginning." Zhou Shuo nodded and said calmly: "The foundation of precision manufacturing technology in China is too poor, and it is impossible to meet the needs of the continuous upgrading of lithography machines. So for Fanhan Group, the best result is to sell immersive lithography technology at a good price."
