Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker.

Chapter 240 Sure enough, the embargo is coming

Teacher Xiao Zhao knew about Batumi's regular meetings, and even he knew about today's topic. The source of the information was President Tommy from Motorola, who always had many unusual information channels.

Although Tommy tried his best to hide it, Teacher Xiao Zhao could still hear the taste of schadenfreude in Tommy's tone.

"If Batumi bans the import of high-end photolithography machines from China, Mr. Zhao, I suggest that Zhongxun cooperate with Motorola. With Motorola's advanced equipment and Zhongxun's manufacturing technology, I think we can dominate the entire world..."

Teacher Xiao Zhao believes that Motorola must have thought that Zhongxun was about to die, and they wanted to snatch Zhongxun’s legacy.

If the technology is given to you, it will all depend on your wishes, Tommy. How could Teacher Xiao Zhao sit still and wait for death?

After hanging up Tommy's phone, he received a call from HSBC President Vijay Govindarajan.

HSBC has been trying to acquire a stake in CITIC, but in terms of valuation, both Goldman Sachs and Motorola disagree with the US$560 billion valuation proposed by HSBC.

This is a financing method to expand the market without other shareholders cashing out, and requires the consent of all shareholders.

However, if you buy Zhao Guoqing's shares, you don't need to consider the opinions of Goldman Sachs and Motorola.

The latest valuation given by Vijay is US$30 billion.

Teacher Xiao Zhao disagrees. It is a bit too early to bet on Zhongxun now!

"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, Motorola is willing to transfer their shares, and their price is not high..."

"..."

Teacher Xiao Zhao said: "If Motorola wants to transfer its shares to you, you have to ask me first if I agree!"

Zhao Guoqing can transfer his shares to anyone at will, but if other shareholders want to transfer their shares, they must first ask Zhao Guoqing if he wants to...

The shopping mall is too realistic, but Goldman Sachs was able to endure it, which surprised Teacher Xiao Zhao.

As for Motorola wanting to withdraw, Mr. Zhao gave them a chance. Vision still has a lot of cash...

Expecting others to be merciful is not as good as being tough yourself. Zhao Guoqing is not someone who just waits for death, and CITIC and 102 Institute do not have any trump cards.

The United States wants to strangle CITIC in the cradle, and Teacher Xiao Zhao is also considering whether to lift the table directly to stop you guys from playing...

Of course it's not that far yet.

Zhao Guoqing said to his assistant Xiang Liancai: "Xiao Xiang, help me make arrangements to go to Chengdu tomorrow!"

"Mr. Zhao, I have a meeting with Motorola on my schedule tomorrow!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "All the itineraries for the next half month are canceled...rescheduled!"

"Ok!"

……

Paris France!

The meeting continues.

French representative Oyler Cherpin believes that the Mao Xiong has disintegrated, the Warsaw Pact no longer exists, and there is no need for Batumi to exist at all.

Economists estimate that if Batumi is abolished, it will bring a growth of three percentage points to the European economy.

The Germans, on the other hand, carry too much historical baggage. Although their economy has become Europe's leader, they rarely express their wishes alone.

Not to mention Italy, they even hope to let go of China's military cooperation. After all, Aspade has brought them 50 million US dollars in revenue, and their military industry has not had meat for a long time.

The disintegration of Mao Xiong was also a big blow to their military industry. NATO no longer needs so many weapons.

The American representative Somjit Satabde clearly felt the resistance from the European allies.

In fact, starting from the disintegration of Mao Xiong, the shackles that bound Europe were opened, and the security issues that even made sleeping uneasy disappeared with Mao Xiong's self-defeat in martial arts.

Europe has been thinking about independence for more than a day or two. Even the British are now working against them.

Somjet silenced everyone with one sentence.

European countries were dumbfounded!

This is not in the interests of all countries.

And Somjet didn't say a word, but everyone present knew it.

The United States embargoes a certain technology, but although other countries do not have an embargo, if it is sold, it will be subject to the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States.

This company will also be on the U.S. blacklist, and the companies associated with this company will also be on the U.S. blacklist.

US capital will be withdrawn and their goods will not be able to enter the American market.

If Siemens, Zeiss, Philips, etc. associated with ASML are isolated from the American market, the impact will be too great.

So under normal circumstances, when everyone has different opinions, the United States still plays a role of sticking to its word.

Their opinion is everyone's opinion.

……

At Chengdu Airport, Teacher Xiao Zhao received a call from Fred as soon as he got off the plane.

Fred said: "BOSS, no luck, Batumi has implemented an embargo on Chinese lithography machines!"

Teacher Xiao Zhao said lightly: "I know!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Guoqing dialed the number of Guo Zhaolian, chief engineer of the 102 Laser Research Laboratory.

"Director Zhao!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "Commander Guo, contact Feng Linsheng and the others to bring the equipment back!"

Guo Zhaolian smiled and said: "Director Zhao, I'm just telling you, they can't believe it..."

"You know nothing!" Teacher Xiao Zhao shook his head and said, "Let's do things!"

Teacher Xiao Zhao contacted the people from the General Staff again and asked them to send someone to escort them. You must know that the argon fluoride laser is a strategic equipment and can affect the progress of the entire semiconductor industry...

……

At the ASML R&D center, the complicated testing was finally completed. Chris extended his hands to Feng Linsheng to celebrate this great victory.

Feng Linsheng's assistant Gu Songnian motioned Feng Linshen to go out and take a call.

Feng Linsheng, who was originally smiling, turned frosty after talking on the phone.

"..."

Chris was baffled when he saw the laser equipment being packed away by the staff of Institute 102!

Chris said: "What's wrong, Mr. Feng!"

Feng Linsheng waved his hand and said: "Batumi has refused us to purchase photolithography machines. Mr. Chris, our cooperation is over..."

"..."

How can it be?

The opportunity to change ASML’s passive situation is right in front of us. Why?

"A bunch of stupid guys and selfish jackals, do they know what they are doing?"

Chris was furious. He took Feng Linsheng's hand and said, "Things may turn around. Mr. Feng, please don't make a decision easily!"

Feng Linsheng said: "Let's wait until gentlemen make a decision before considering subsequent cooperation!"

Are you kidding? If you can't buy something yourself, do you still need to provide technology to ASML?
