Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1996 I tore it apart!

"I will give one million yuan to individuals and five million yuan to teams for solving the problem of domestic substitution. Every year, many of the doctoral students and postdocs we hire from Harbin Institute of Technology come with their own projects, and the success rate...is actually not very high."

"But I can wait. The Qatar project alone can support half of the R&D center. As long as there is enough time, I can get half of Raytheon and HP's business for him. But... it depends on the timing!"

Although he was bragging, Ji Donglai knew that he couldn't be too confident, after all, he was not a god.

The world is now starting to gamble. If the timing is wrong, everything you bring out will be wasted.

It turns out that the arrogance of first movers is deep-rooted.

Until the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the lithography machine manufacturers were still waiting for Ji Donglai to send people to the United States for negotiations. Various contract texts and clauses had been drafted, and they were just waiting to make a big profit from Yiyuan Zhizao.

What these people didn't expect was that on the 13th day of the first lunar month, Ji Donglai directly switched the live broadcast channel of the One Yuan Supermarket and changed it to a live broadcast of the factory dismantling the lithography machine production line.

The huge logo of the other company was clearly recorded by the camera. Yiyuan Zhizao hired the host recommended by Yingzi to give on-site commentary this time. The other party was also a local lady, but now she is in the second-tier city.

"Hello, everyone. This is the Uni-President Chip Factory. The equipment you see is called a photolithography machine, which was originally produced in the Victory Factory in Seattle, USA. Just a month ago, the Victory Factory inexplicably remotely shut down the programs of all photolithography machines."

"This has caused the situation you see. A large number of chips from Yiyuan Zhizao are lying on the production line and cannot be produced. The other party has shut down not only the lithography machine, but also the subsequent supporting equipment, the ion sputtering machine, etc."

"It's not because Yiyuan Zhizao owes the other party money for the equipment. I have a contract with official seals of both parties, as well as payment records. It clearly shows that Shengli Company had received all the payment five years ago, but why did the other party lock up Yiyuan Zhizao's lithography machines? Let's listen to a recording, maybe we can get the answer!"

The host is worthy of being the top host in the profession. She attracted everyone's attention with just one sentence.

Then the other party took out the recording device and played it into the microphone, which contained the arrogant words of the other company's sales manager.

"Anger can't change the outcome. Let me tell you, Mr. Ji, you'd better be nice when you come to our side to respond to the lawsuit. Otherwise, we will just send you to Nevada to plant trees. Haha..."

Tang Mosen is an expert on China and speaks standard Chinese, so there was no need for translation.

Before the other party had even finished speaking, people on the internet were already cursing at him.

"So arrogant. I bought your equipment and paid in full. You can lock it up whenever you want. Isn't this just like marrying a wife and then you put on a pair of iron pants? The key is in your hand. It's disgusting."

"Who gave him the courage? After buying your equipment, do I have to accept your command? When we start production depends on the mood of the equipment manufacturer. What do you think this is?"

"This is so ridiculous. I spent money to buy equipment that can't be used, and I still have to give you some attitude in return. Do I even have to provide you with emotional value? It's so infuriating!"

"Sue him and make him lose everything..."

Both young and old are now extremely angry.

The host was wearing a helmet, and the headset kept receiving notifications from the backstage staff, and the recording was appropriately ended. "From the recording, we can hear that this equipment manufacturer is arrogant and conceited, even to the point of paranoia. We bought the equipment, and we have to accept your conditions, can we do this, can't do that, so we have to ask, did we rent the equipment or buy it?"

"We have received the invoice for the full payment and completed the transfer procedures, but then you said that the machine is no longer usable. We have many questions, and now we would like to consult the National Commercial Cooperation Lawyer..."

Today is the day to build momentum, and Ji Donglai is going to pull off the other party's underwear.

The host interviewed a national business dispute lawyer and a sales director of an international trading company, and all kinds of people appeared in the camera like a revolving lantern.

The workers dismantling the machine over there worked in an orderly manner. Various pipes and circuits began to be cut off, and various materials were constantly pulled away from the scene.

As time went on, the video spread to the outside world. The top management of Victory Company accidentally saw the video and immediately recalled the managers of Victory Company.

"Dismantle the machine, this... is he really going to dismantle it?"

The other party knew that the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing lithography machine had been locked.

Now everyone is waiting for Ji Dong to come here to negotiate, but unexpectedly, Ji Dong really started to dismantle the machines. Those are equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the other party just said to dismantle the old ones?
"You need to respond immediately, right now, right now!"

This matter is too big, and China is a market that the whole world is eyeing.

With so many eyes around the world watching American companies openly cheating, the reputation of the spirit of contract can no longer stand. No one would buy your equipment, from machine tools to bombs.

Everyone knows you have a backdoor, but everyone can accept it if you don't use it at will. But now? You stopped their production line without their permission, and asked them to provide you with emotional value, and you also want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. This is too much.

Those companies that were preparing to purchase American equipment were also pushed live videos by Ji Donglai's big data. Some of them received it a little late, and the live broadcast had already been completed, so the big data immediately pushed a short video.

The result is predictable. In just one morning, more than thirty companies canceled their orders with American Equipment Company or postponed them, and everyone was worried that they would suffer the same fate.

How much does it cost to stop a production line for a day? Especially for chip manufacturing production lines, it costs 10 million RMB per day.

From the time the machine was locked to now, Victory Company has not given any news for a full 25 days. This is not arrogance, it is evil!
The person in charge of Shengli Company immediately contacted Feng Chunbao, but Feng Chunbao didn't answer the phone at all. He also didn't answer any calls from the United States or calls to this place.

The dismantling of the machine was still going on at Yiyuan Zhizao. The sharp words uttered by the host in a gentle tone were translated into various languages, and their destructive power was greater than that of a nuclear bomb.

"Dear audience, the loss for 25 days is at least 20 million RMB per day. Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing R&D Center has been trying to communicate with Shengli Company. The other party is very arrogant and does not answer the phone, or asks Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing to send people to the United States for negotiations."

"We don't understand. After we bought the equipment, we still don't have the right to use it. We have to get your consent at any time. Can anyone tell me what kind of bandit logic this is?"

"Mr. Ji Donglai, Chairman of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing, doesn't understand either. Let's have a video interview with Mr. Ji Donglai about his response to this incident. Hello, Mr. Ji!"
