Chapter 1545 Gray Rules
"I have read the letter, please go back and send a message to Mr. Vincent, tell him that I will transfer half of the labor fee to his account first, and after the product is shipped to Shenzhen, I will transfer the other half of the labor fee Hand over, the relevant payment transactions can be connected with our branch in Hong Kong, and there will be a special person to handle this matter." Duan Yun said.

Duan Yun can see that the Europeans are not as "innocent" in business as they advertised, at least from the two engineers of ASML and the executives of the Hong Kong branch that Duan Yun had contacted before, they all performed relatively well. greedy.

In fact, commercial bribery has become a common phenomenon in European companies. In later generations, a special accounting firm once conducted a survey. The survey showed that an average of 39% of companies in European countries have engaged in bribery in order to obtain benefits. The global average is as high as 57%.

Similar to the earliest state-owned enterprises or stores receiving kickbacks in China, under the apparent business rules, there are also a series of potential regulations, which is also the problem Duan Yun discovered when doing business with foreigners.

In addition, among the European corporate bribery rankings, Slovenia ranks first with a bribery rate of 96%. It can be said that doing business in this country cannot be done without bribery. The second and third are Croatia and Ukraine, respectively. As high as 90% and 85%, Greece, Slovakia, and Serbia have a bribery rate of more than 80%. Among them, Switzerland is the cleanest in the list. Even so, the proportion of corporate bribery is 10%. As for the UK and France among European countries And Germany, basically more than 30%, this is also related to the national conditions of each country, the less developed the economy, the more serious the situation of commercial bribery in order to survive and profit.

So after seeing this fact clearly, Duan Yun can also accept this kind of thing calmly, and this time buying a lithography machine from ASML, ASML itself has taken a huge risk. If there is no benefit, no one will ask for it at all. this kind of thing.

However, this is also a good thing for the wealthy Duan Yun. As a Chinese company, if it wants to expand rapidly around the world in the future, it is the most straightforward and the fastest effective solution to directly use money to pave the way.

Of course, Duan Yun will not do those illegal and criminal things in China. As the saying goes, if Tianyin Group has not obtained a strong background by transferring shares to central enterprises, he will not let others take advantage of him of.

In fact, through investing in Shenzhen and various local governments, Duan Yun has obtained some tendentious policy support in many places across the country, which also allows Tianyin Group to obtain a certain degree of market dominance without doing anything illegal. .

However, if Duan Yun wants to quickly enter Europe, he needs some "white gloves" that can quickly open channels. On the other hand, Europeans pay great attention to whether foreign investment can solve the local employment problem, so in this respect, Duan Yun also Something has to be considered.

"Okay, I will convey your words to Mr. Vincent when I go back." Zhou Haikun said.

"Then do you have anything else to do?"

"No more, I'm going back, so I won't disturb your work." After Zhou Haikun finished speaking, he got up and left Duan Yun's office.

Picking up the letter on the table, Duan Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after looking at it.

In Duan Yun’s view, the matter of the lithography machine should be sure. Since Vincent has asked him for a bribe, it shows that he is sure to get things done. Europeans are more reliable in this respect, and they will definitely do things after taking the money .

In addition, as the director of a Hong Kong company, he is not compared to Europe, where local gangs are rampant, and if he does something wrong, he will definitely pay the price.

Seeing Zhou Haikun's strength, Duan Yun called his assistant Guo Kai in again, arranged today's work, and then went home by car.

In the past month, Duan Yun has been relatively relaxed. There are not many things in the company, so he simply left time for his family, especially his one-year-old son.

A few months ago, when Duan Yun was having dinner at home, his son who was sitting next to him on the baby chair suddenly called out to his father. Although it seemed that the child subconsciously called out, it made Duan Yun excited for the whole night .

Duan Yun is very satisfied with his family and life, especially his wife gave him such a fat and lovely son, which made Duan Yun, who was already a successful person, have a happier life. Now his son Duan Bocong is one year old. His facial features are more similar to his mother's, but his nose has inherited his father's high nose bridge, and his two big black eyes are so cute. His mother Gao Xiuzhi hugs her every day, and she is reluctant to let go.

Sometimes Duan Yun is very tired after working all day, but when he sees his son's exhaustion, it disappears. As for his wife Cheng Qingyan, she is also very concerned about her son. As long as she is not on a business trip, she seldom goes to the company. The thing is just to make a phone call to his assistant and stay with his son as much as possible.

After a woman has a son, her husband doesn't seem to be so important. Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no relationship between the husband and wife, but compared to before the two had no children, there is not so much warmth and lingering.

As the son of a wealthy family, Duan Bocong has spent all his food and clothing at the highest level since he was born. He even has a special toy room. In the huge room, there is a small naughty castle and hundreds of toys. No matter where he is, there are four nannies by his side, which is completely the life of a wealthy young master.

In fact, Duan Yun and his wife did not have high requirements for material life in the early years. Although Cheng Qingyan bought more and more high-end jewelry and clothes these years, they were not so extravagant as to spend money like water. She also likes to watch some videos and books of Paris Fashion Week. In addition, she also likes fitness and yoga, and her life is becoming more and more refined.

Compared with his wife, Duan Yun’s dress is much simpler. There are only 5 suits in the closet, and 4 pairs of leather shoes. The watch was replaced with an Omega last year. Before that, he still brought the plum blossoms he bought when he got married. Watch.

At the end of June, Duan Yun got the good news that the team led by Huang Lingyi did not disappoint him, and realized the mass production of scattered memory chips with a one-micron process. The yield rate was as high as 6%, which is a very amazing pass rate. After all The processing difficulty of a one-micron process chip is much higher than that of a three-micron chip.

At the same time, Huang Lingyi's paper was published in the American Science Journal on the other side of the ocean again. That night, Tianyin Group received more than a dozen international calls. There is no doubt that Tianyin Group's chips have once again caused a stir in the global chip industry. sensational...
