Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations



Not long after Li Chengqian released the information.

This message was transmitted to the information department of Sunset.

"F*ck, I remember that the Divine Dragon Software Company is an operating system supplier, a software company… Moreover, it's a company that has just been established. Do they have the ability to manufacture advanced lithography machines?" Supervisor Bob was skeptical after receiving the information.

"Supervisor, in the first month after the establishment of the Divine Dragon Software Company, the Divine Dragon System was released… Now, the Divine Dragon System has occupied almost the entire market for computers and servers." The staff of the intelligence center reminded him.

"Kid, as long as you're talented enough, you can indeed make a huge breakthrough in software development."

"However, one lone genius is useless when it comes to equipment. This requires the strength of a country's resources."

"Divine Dragon's technology in lithography lens, light source, and precision motors is not good, and they can't buy the requisite accessories from other countries. It's absolutely impossible for them to produce a 7-nanometer DUV lithography machine," Bob said confidently.

"The most advanced photolithography machine they produced is a 90-nanometer lithography machine! That's trash from decades ago." Bob's tone carried a sense of superiority.

Other than Sunset, the other company that was paying attention to the development of the Divine Dragon lithography machine was ASML Company.

ASML is the world's most advanced lithography machine manufacturing company.

The company had set up an information department to track the development of lithography technology and parts worldwide.

The information Li Chengqian posted was quickly detected by ASML's information department.

"This piece of information is terrifying and of utmost importance!" Louise, the Senior Vice President of Intelligence, said with a solemn expression.

"If this message is true, our company might be in danger." Louise was very concerned.

Based on past experience with the Divine Dragon, once it made a breakthrough in some technology, it would rely on its national power and cheap labor to start mass production. There would definitely be an impact on the price of the lithography machines.

ASML's cost of production for the lithography machines was very high. If there was a price war, it would definitely not be a match for the Divine Dragon Software Company.

"Let's go and talk to the Vice President of commerce immediately…"

Suddenly, Louise thought of something and his expression became solemn.

A few days ago, the National Chip Company of Divine Dragon came over for business negotiations. They wanted to purchase a DUV lithography machine.

ASML's Vice President of international commerce, Chaiter, was a Sunset supporter. He had never had a good impression of the Divine Dragon.

Especially when the Doomsday Extortion Virus wreaked havoc a few days ago, the Divine Dragon System became the world's largest operating system supplier in one fell swoop, knocking Sunset's pride and the Windows system off its pedestal.

His fury towards the Divine Dragon people hit a new high.

So…

Chaiter arrogantly doubled the price of the lithography machine. He wanted to take this opportunity to vent his anger.

The Divine Dragon only had one option, which was to buy the advanced DUV lithography machine from him. They couldn't buy it anywhere else even if they wanted to.

ASML was running an exclusive business. Naturally, he could ask for the sky.

The buyer basically had no bargaining power.

…

At this moment, in the international business center of ASML, the National Chip Company and Chaiter were having a new round of talks.

Chaiter's terms this time round were even harsher.

"Huang Jun, right? Our DUV lithography machine is priced at 600 million yuan per unit… This price will stay." Chaiter's attitude was extremely arrogant.

"In addition, ASML does not take care of delivery. This is where you can pick up the goods!"

"Also, you have to pay 100% upfront before you can collect the lithography machine."

"In fact, we are taking a huge risk by agreeing to sell the DUV lithography machine to Divine Dragon!"

"This is our condition…" Chaiter spread his hands, his eyes filled with pride.

Huang Jun of the National Chip Company was furious when he heard the conditions. He was very upset.

He couldn't take it anymore and stood up. "Mr. Chaiter, we agreed before we came that the price of a lithography machine is 300 million!"

The delivery is within one year, and the location is the port of the Divine Dragon Country. We will pay 70% after the machine has been properly installed and it is operating normally… After two years of normal operation, we'll pay the rest!"

"The conditions you're offering now are completely different from what we agreed previously!"

"This is not in line with usual business practice!"

"This is extortion!"

"We can't accept these conditions!"

"I want to see your CEO."

Chaiter looked at the furious Huang Jun and the corners of his mouth curled up even more smugly.

It was just useless fury!

What was the use?

In the end, he would have no choice but to accept his terms.

Because the Divine Dragon had no other choice.

Apart from ASML, no one would sell a DUV lithography machine to them.

With a teasing smile, Chaiter shrugged again and said with an exaggerated smile, "I'm sorry, our CEO is on a business trip. He might not be back for about three months. He can't see you now."

Huang Jun was extremely angry, but he was still suppressing his anger. He maintained the most basic etiquette and said, "Mr. Chaiter, may I ask where your CEO went on a business trip? I can go look for him."

"I'm sorry, the whereabouts of the CEO is a company secret. I can't tell you!" The smile on Chaiter's face became more and more obvious.

He was deliberately making things difficult for Huang Jun. He was playing with Huang Jun!

"Mr. Huang Jun, these are out terms!"

"If you can't accept it, please leave!"

"Let's not waste each other's time."

"I still have something on. Today's meeting is over."

Chaiter stood up proudly like a general who had won a battle. Then, he walked towards the door decisively.

When they were almost at the door, Chaiter turned around and said to the furious Huang Jun, "By the way, if you can't accept my terms, please don't come over again…"

"You are only wasting time."

"ASML is a top international company. We receive orders from all over the world. I'm very busy."

"My time is precious. I don't have that much time to waste with you," Chait sneered and mocked Huang Jun.

Huang Jun clenched his fists tightly, he felt extremely bitter.

During his time in ASML, he had often been mocked and insulted.

But even so, he could not leave!

Because Divine Dragon really needed a DUV lithography machine!

As long as they could buy the DUV lithography machine, they would solve the issue of chip production. It was worth it no matter how much grievance and humiliation he had to suffer.

He suppressed the grievance in his heart and walked out of ASML with the people from the National Chip Company.

Along the way, many employees who knew the situation smiled and whispered.

"Oh, look at these Divine Dragon people, they must have been insulted by Vice President Chaiter again."

"They're pathetic!"

"Vice President Chaiter has a deep prejudice against the people from Divine Dragon."

"If I were these Divine Dragon people, I'd shoot Chaiter."

"They wouldn't dare, because they're begging us to sell them the DUV lithography machine! Once they offend Vice President Chaiter, they're finished."

When Huang Jun and the other employees heard these words, their faces became even longer.
