Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 691 Machine 500, Shipping Fee 1000
Lu Yiming was very happy to recruit two masters at once.

With the job settled, Zhang Xiao felt relieved, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lu, did you come all the way to Beautiful Country just to recruit talents?"

In his opinion, Lu Yiming is the richest man in Asia, he wants to recruit talents, as long as he gives an order, talents from all over the world will flock to him.

Not everyone has the opportunity to work for the richest man in Asia.

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, and said, "No, it's just a way to recruit talents. I came here this time to see if I can buy some equipment related to lithography machines."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Zhang Xiao had a flash of inspiration. He remembered something and said immediately: "I know that a small company that develops lithography machines has gone bankrupt. The equipment company there may be useful. Do you have any information?" not interested?"

Lu Yiming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Although it is a small bankrupt company, in the current domestic market, we must solve the problem of whether there is a problem before we can study the problem of whether it is advanced or not.

Therefore, no matter how rubbish the lithography machine is, at least a lithography machine is of great value to Xia Guo.

Zhang Xiao said: "The company was originally very optimistic about the Internet and the future of the computer industry. It believed that the demand for chips would definitely increase. So it bought a lot of equipment and planned to do a big job. But the Internet suddenly It’s cold, and even the company that brought him is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the only valuables now are some of the equipment in the company.”

Then Zhang Xiao reminded Lu Yiming, "Some of these devices are on the banned list, and the risk is very high. If Mr. Lu thinks it's inappropriate, then forget it."

Lu Yiming applauded and laughed loudly: "It's suitable, it's very suitable. Where is the boss now? It's not too late, let's go and have a look now."

The equipment on the banned list is also related to the research and development of lithography machine technology. Isn't this what I am short of?

Besides, the resistance to directly buying new equipment must be greater than the resistance to buying second-hand, right?

New machines have to be approved layer by layer, and there are various checkpoints. Second-hand sales are much easier to operate.

Lu Yiming thought to himself, this is really hard to find, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.So he was very focused, urging Zhang Xiao to leave immediately, fearing that the equipment would be bought away if he went late, and it would be useless to rejoice.

At that moment, Lu Yiming asked Zhao Tiezhu to drive, and took the three of them to the bankrupt company.

This bankrupt company is not in the city center, not even in the industrial area, but next to a boulevard, not to mention the bustling surroundings, and there are not many buildings.

But a few kilometers away there is a river with a small hydroelectric power station.

After getting out of the car and looking at the surrounding environment, Lu Yiming couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This boss is really courageous. In order to save costs, he dared to drive the company to such a place."

Zhang Xiao joked, "This is a beautiful country. There are so many people who want money and life. If I hadn't dealt with this boss a few times before, I wouldn't even know about it."

"Is it money or life? That sums it up really well."

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, he liked to deal with this kind of principled people.

Zhang Xiao had already called the owner of the place, Claude Kom, before, and now he got out of the car and went directly to the factory entrance, and began to knock on the big iron door.

"Claude, open the door."

"I'm coming."

A thick and thick voice came from inside, and after a while, with the creaking sound, the iron door slowly opened, and Lu Yiming saw a white man with blond hair, blond beard and big belly.

He suddenly thought of the wine barrel in "League of Legends".

Claude Kom looked at Zhang Xiao, then at Lu Yiming and the others behind Zhang Xiao, especially after the self-study glanced at their waists and found that none of them were carrying large weapons, and then invited them in.

"It's dirty inside, and I haven't cleaned it for a long time."

Claude Kom took a towel, soaked it in water, wiped some stools, and said, "Sit down."

Lu Yiming scanned the factory building, and soon found the machinery and equipment covered with canvas, so he walked over.

Just as Claude Kom was about to speak, Zhang Xiao said, "My dear friend, I was so sad to hear that your company went bankrupt, so I brought my friend here today to have a look. His respect for you The company is very interested and intends to buy your company."

Claude Kom immediately looked at Lu Yiming's back with the look of a fool.

Sure enough, Xia Guohuang's brain is not good enough.What is the value of buying a bankrupt company?
Of course, he wouldn't say that. After all, a fool came to take over the offer, and he couldn't wish for it.

Well, God must have been moved by praying day and night to send such a rich idiot.

Thank God for the gift!
Just wondering how Claude Komm would feel if he learned that the Internet winter that bankrupted him was partly caused by this big fool.

Lu Yiming took a look around and found that the equipment was similar to the ones he read on the news before rebirth. He thought it should be a good thing, so he turned around and asked, "Does your company sell it?"

Claude Kom wanted to be more reserved and negotiate a good price, but he couldn't help laughing when he opened his mouth and said, "If you're willing to buy it, of course I don't have any objections."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I like to talk to straightforward people like you, let's make a price."

Now that Lu Yiming was affirmed as a fool, of course Claude Kombe would not be polite, and said directly: "500 million US dollars, all of this is yours!"

Before Lu Yiming could speak, Zhang Xiao yelled, "500 million US dollars? Do you think we are fools? Claude, I'm kind enough to find you a boss. You can't cheat people like this. I just I've seen it, your camera is a Nikon NSR-S205C with a resolution of 130 nanometers. 500 million US dollars is the sky's the limit."

He was engaged in chip research in the beautiful country, so he naturally knew the price of these devices.Don't say that it's a second-hand sale now, even if it's brand new equipment, it's not worth so much money.

Being exposed, Claude Kom looked a little embarrassed. After all, the guest introduced by a friend was exposed in person, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't stand it.

However, Claude Kom still defended and said: "Then it's cheaper, mine are all the most advanced models, you can't compare me with the junk you use."

Claude Kom was thinking in his heart, if the $500 million was useless, at least he would have to sell some books for at least $600 million.

After all, smart people are everywhere, but rich fools are hard to find.

However, before Claude Kom could make up his mind, Lu Yiming said, "Okay, 500 million US dollars is 500 million US dollars."

When Zhang Xiao heard this, he was startled and said, "Mr. Lu, this company has closed down and is worthless at all. I just want some money for these equipments. He has earned 500 million US dollars. You can give him back 500 dollars." [-]?"

Tang Jijun also felt that the price was too nonsense, and said, "A bankrupt company, 500 million US dollars, money is not spent like this."

This company is small-to be precise, it is a semi-finished product. It has just entered a production line, and the Internet is cold, and the company's capital chain is broken.In other words, what you bought at this price was not a company, but a production line.

This can still be paid out to 500 million US dollars, which is really outrageous.

However, Lu Yiming smiled and said to Claude Kom: "I will give you 500 million US dollars, but it will be divided into two parts. I will give you 300 million US dollars first, and you will dismantle and pack all the machines and give them to me. Ship it to Xiaguo Zhonghai. After the things arrive in Zhonghai, I will pay you the remaining 1000 two million."

Claude Kom's eyes widened, as if he had never seen Lu Yiming before, and stared at him closely: "Are you from the Xia Kingdom? I thought you were from the Island Kingdom!"

Lu Yiming said depressedly: "Why are you scolding people? Am I so short and ugly?"

Claude Kom is not a fool. On the contrary, he can think of going directly to the upstream of the Internet industry, which shows that he still has some brains. It's just bad luck that he encountered the Great Depression.Hearing what Lu Yiming said now, he immediately understood what Lu Yiming wanted to do.

"No, that's not what I meant. These instruments are all on the banned list, so I'll sell them to you, so am I breaking the law?"

Claude Kom did not expect that after such a long circle, this big pit was waiting for him here.

Lu Yiming said lightly: "That's your own business, what does it have to do with me? If you agree to this deal, the 500 million US dollars will be yours. If you don't agree, then I will go find someone else."

In other words, the equipment costs $500 million, but the shipping cost is $1000 million.This price can be said to be fucked.Of course, if Lu Yiming approached Epstein, the price would probably not be lower than this price.Don't look at that guy who looks very kind, but when it's time to cut the knife, he is really unambiguous at all.

And Zhang Xiao and Tang Jijun also knew what Lu Yiming was up to, and they immediately admired Lu Yiming.

Although it seems that this price is definitely a big injustice, in fact, all the risks are completely passed on to Claude Kom. It has nothing to do with Lu Yiming.

In Lu Yiming's capacity, 1000 million US dollars in exchange for a clean background is definitely a bargain!

Claude Kom had a troubled expression on his face, and said: "It's not that I don't want to do business with you, but the customs will never let you go, no matter how much money you give. Smuggling the items on the banned list Things are tantamount to betraying the country!"

Lu Yiming jokingly said, "A person like you still cares about this?"

He patted Claude Kom on the shoulder and said, "I believe you will have a way."

After struggling for three seconds, Claude Kom agreed to Lu Yiming.

After all, he really needs money now. Between the interests of the beautiful country and his own interests, he chose himself. As a qualified capitalist, his actions fully explained what capital has no borders.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

Half an hour later, Lu Yiming and the others left the factory.Tang Jijun said excitedly: "I didn't expect to get a lithography machine so easily."

Ever since he learned that Lu Yiming wanted to buy a lithography machine, he had thought about how Lu Yiming would buy it for a long time, but he never thought that it would be through such a method.

Lu Yiming said, "Just one set is not enough. I plan to ship this set back to them for research and dismantle it. I need to buy more."

Lu Yiming's goal is not only to let Xia Guo have a lithography machine to use, but to enable Xia Guo to develop and produce a lithography machine by himself, and it is the research of the entire industry chain, the kind that does not need to import a single screw.So obviously, just one machine is not enough.

Buying a lithography machine requires a lot of effort. When I buy it back to the beautiful country this time, I will definitely know in the future that the embargo will be stricter, and Epstein will probably be powerless by then.

Therefore, it is the safest thing to buy a few more at once if you have the opportunity.

The next day, Lu Yiming came directly to the door, met with Epstein, and talked about buying a lithography machine.

"Do you want to buy a lithography machine?"

Epstein looked very surprised, and said: "That is something that the beautiful country explicitly prohibits exporting to the country of Xia. Not only the complete machine, but even the parts are not allowed to be distributed to the country of Xia."

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "The friendship between the two of us is so fragile?"

Epstein sighed: "Although I am a Jew, I was born on Brooklyn Street in New York City. I love this great country, the Beautiful Country... Lu, I regard you as a friend. Conscience to do such a thing.”

Lu Yiming said flatly: "One billion US dollars, I want three sets of the latest and largest lithography machines."

"Lu, you know, we... how much do you say?"

Epstein stood up suddenly and looked at Lu Yiming.

"One billion dollars, buy three sets of lithography machines?"

One billion US dollars, not to mention buying three sets of lithography machines, even if it is buying three nuclear bombs, it may be more than enough.

The wages of avarice is death.

Epstein himself is not a person who likes to obey the law, otherwise he would not have built his "Happy Island".

As for the deep love for the beautiful country, that is even more ridiculous.

In Epstein's heart, if there is a price for patriotism, it must be one billion dollars!

So in the face of this huge temptation, he couldn't refuse.

However, Epstein is not stupid. No matter how powerful his personal ability is, it is impossible to confront the country. Especially for people at his level, buying the future with a billion dollars is really not a good deal.

But it is impossible not to sell.

"You know, the IRS and the FBI will come after me if we pay for it and deliver it. How are you going to pay for it?"

Epstein has skipped the question of whether it will be sold and has gone straight to the price.After all, for a qualified capitalist, everything has a price.

A billion dollars is by no means a small number. Epstein was not afraid that Lu Yiming would not be able to afford such a large amount of money, but that he was worried that such a large amount of money would suddenly appear in his bank account, which would arouse unnecessary suspicion.

The banned list is not a joke. Although Epstein did not take the law seriously, the cost was too high and the risk was too high, so he would not do it.

Lu Yiming understood what Epstein's concerns were, so he said empathetically, "Don't worry, the way I pay for the goods is quite special, and I guarantee that no one will see any flaws."

Then, he took out his checkbook and a signature pen from his pocket.

Epstein said: "It's useless to sign a check, otherwise I'm afraid I will take your money now and I will go to jail at night."

Lu Yiming wrote a series of strange numbers and English letters on the checkbook.

Lu Yiming handed the note to Epstein and said calmly, "Don't worry, what I wrote is not a check."

Epstein looked at the line on the note and frowned: "2002, 10, TASR, 154? What does this mean? Are you kidding me?"

Lu Yiming said: "This is the wealth code. The first two numbers are very simple. They are the year and month. T, Guo Bing, and SR are the name of the stock. As for the last 154, that is the selling price. Just follow what I said. If you buy a few stocks and sell them at the specified price, if you don’t make a billion dollars within four years, I’ll pay you double.”

After finishing speaking, Lu Yiming looked at Epstein in a leisurely manner: "Well, this is the first stock, and there are four more stocks to follow. As long as you are willing to help me, they will be yours. Make money by speculating in stocks, I think No one should suspect you, right? This is the safest payment method, and the money is completely legal income, no matter who checks it, there is no problem."

Epstein gripped the paper very tightly, and now he can accept it as soon as it is good. If Lu Yiming is right, he can make a lot of money just with this stock in his hand.

But if Lu Yiming's words are correct, it means that there are four stocks with the same value!
Greed made him unable to give up, like a fish being lured by bait, even though he knew there was a hook, he still couldn't help but be moved.

In the end, Epstein still couldn't resist Dao Le's charm, and asked Lu Yiming: "Are you sure the stocks you mentioned can earn me a billion dollars?"

Lu Yiming said confidently: "It's just too much, and the saltwater fund is the best answer. You know how accurate my vision is."

"Well, you convinced me."
