Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 357 He wants to buy six scrapped photolithography machines

Businessmen have extensive connections, especially big businessmen like Nathan.

This is especially true between the Netherlands and the United States, which have always been mutually beneficial in terms of business.

After all, even the United States has Lanhe’s lithography machine manufacturing factory!
It is inevitable that these big manufacturers know each other.

Wang Yang did not hesitate and sent a message back to Jiang Ran.

Then I searched the time in the United States and found that it was exactly early morning there.

"...Forget it, I'll call him tomorrow and ask." Wang Yang hesitated and decided to call Nathan tomorrow.

Because everyone is asleep in the early morning, it’s not a good idea to call.

After all, we are not good friends, we just had a transaction.

Wang Yang is not the kind of person who has no sense of propriety.

Besides, it’s already late at night, and that guy from Lan He would definitely not send the scrapped lithography machine to the steel plant to be processed as scrap metal so late at night!

Wang Yang and Jiang Ran chatted for a while, but ended the conversation because Jiang Ran had to go to class.

The next morning, Wang Yang took a high-speed train to the city of Eindhoven, because the ASM company where Buki Fewanga worked was located there.

He checked the US time and found that it was after five in the evening, so he opened the address book, found Nathan's number and called him.

Last night, it was early morning US time and Nathan must have fallen asleep, so Wang Yang did not call.

It's five o'clock in the evening there now, so it wouldn't be rude to call them.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, what's up?" A confident and smiling middle-aged male voice came from the phone, speaking English.

Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Yang smiled and replied in English: "Mr. Davis, I want to ask you for help with something."

Nathan's full name is Nathan Davis, and the American name is written with the first name first and the last name last.

At the same time, in a luxury bulletproof Bentley in California, USA, Nathan received a call from Wang Yang, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Glad to do so! I wonder what Mr. Wang can do for you this time?"

Wang Yang had previously purchased an F22 fighter jet from him. For businessmen, a transaction often heralds the possibility of more cooperation.

Therefore, Nathan has always kept Wang Yang's contact information, looking forward to the next trading opportunity.

As for Wang Yang's live broadcast of selling F22 fighter jets, he also paid attention to it and discussed it with the Air Force Major General. He finally believed that Wang Yang only repaired the outer shell and sold it as a model.

"Friend, do you know Bugi Feiwangga from ASM Company in Lanhe Country?" Wang Yang's voice came from the phone with a hint of inquiry.

"Oh, of course I know him." Nathan smiled. "He is a director of the ASM board of directors, responsible for the management, maintenance and repair of lithography machines. Mr. Wang, what do you want to talk to him about?"

Nathan knew that no one would come to visit someone for no reason. Wang Yang’s call at this time might be because he had new business to discuss.

Sure enough, Wang Yang's voice came again, with a hint of expectation: "I have a business deal that I want to discuss with him, but I don't know his contact information. Do you have his contact information? Would it be convenient for you to give it to me?"

"So that's how it is." Nathan suddenly realized. He was happy to help Wang Yang with his request. "Yes, wait a moment. I'll find it and send it to you."

Nathan quickly found Buki Fewanga's name in the address book and sent the contact information to Wang Yang.

He knew very well that even if Wang Yang did not come to him to discuss business this time, maintaining good personal connections was crucial.

"Mr. Wang, did you receive it?" Nathan asked with concern after sending the contact information.

"Got it, thank you!" Wang Yang's voice came with a hint of gratitude.

"You're welcome. You're very polite." Nathan smiled and continued to praise, "By the way, Mr. Wang's business acumen is really amazing! He repaired the outer shell of the F22 test aircraft and sold it as a model, making to million Chinese yuan. It's really admirable! I vaguely see Mr. Wang's future. He will definitely become a famous entrepreneur in China!"

In response to Nathan's praise, Wang Yang just smiled modestly: "This is also thanks to you selling the F22 test aircraft to me, otherwise, how could I make so much money?"

After the two chatted for a few more words, Wang Yang hung up the phone.

He recalled the conversation just now and couldn't help but smile.

He thought to himself: "After a while, if he knew that I actually repaired all four F22 test aircraft and sold them as real F22s, I wonder if he would vomit blood?"

However, Wang Yang did not dwell too much on this idea.

He quickly copied and pasted the phone number Nathan sent into the dial bar and clicked dial.

Because he knew that time was running out and he had to contact Buki Fewanga as soon as possible.

After the call was connected, a little girl's voice was heard: "Hallo, wie is dit?" (Hello, who is this?) It sounded like the voice of a girl of only five or six years old, speaking Dutch with a sweet and innocent tone.

Wang Yang was stunned, he didn't understand Lan He language.

But the next second, a man's voice rang out over there, speaking in English: "Hello, who is this?"

When Wang Yang heard this, he immediately understood what had happened.

He collected his thoughts and introduced himself in English: "Hello, Mr. Fei Wangjia, my last name is Wang Yang, and I want to discuss a business with you."

……

In a luxurious villa in Lanhe Country, in the study, a man in his forties was sitting on a chair.

He held a little girl of five or six years old with blond hair and blue eyes in his left hand, and held the phone to his ear in his right hand.

Hearing the stranger's words coming from the phone, he frowned slightly and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Wang, are you Chinese?" He had already guessed the other party's identity.

"Yes." Wang Yang replied.

"If you want to buy my company's high-end chips, you've come to the wrong person. I'm not responsible for exporting chips. But if you want to buy my company's lithography machines, I'm sorry, according to government regulations, we don't sell lithography machines and technology." Buki said calmly.

He is an important person in ASM company who is responsible for the repair and maintenance of lithography machines.

When someone calls you, either he or she wants to buy high-end chips and has called you by mistake, or he or she wants to buy a lithography machine.

As for the latter, he has received many calls seeking to purchase lithography machines, but all were rejected due to government and company regulations.

After all, lithography machines and technology are the core competitiveness of their company and an important means for them to make money. If they are sold to the Chinese, how can they make money? How can they unite with Western countries to block technology?
But what he didn't expect was that Wang Yang's answer was completely beyond his expectations: "Mr. Fei Wangjia, you misunderstood. I don't import high-end chips. I want to ask you, does your company have six scrapped lithography machines that produce high-end chips, and are you planning to send them to the steel plant for processing?"

Bu Ji was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the other party to ask this.

He frowned and asked curiously, "Yes, I was planning to send it over. But how did you know this?"

"Oh, now is the information society. Besides, this is not a confidential matter." Wang Yang said with a smile. Bu Ji understood this and stopped worrying about it.

He then asked, “Why are you asking this?”

"I want to buy these six scrapped lithography machines from you." Wang Yang said directly.

"?" Buji frowned again, and a big question mark popped up in his mind.

He never expected the other party to say, "Those six lithography machines have been scrapped and have no use anymore. They are being sent to the steel plant for disposal as scrap. What is he going to do with them?"

Bucky couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "The six lithography machines are scrapped, and the core devices have been dismantled. What are you going to do with them?"

"It's like this. I like to collect these things to make models. So, after I heard the news, I asked Nathan Davis in the United States for your contact information and called you." Wang Yang explained with a smile.

"Nathan..." Bucky knew Nathan and had business dealings with their ASM company.

But he frowned and pondered over Wang Yang's request.

The six lithography machines used to produce chips have all been scrapped and their core devices have been dismantled.

Logically speaking, there should be no problem in selling it to him, and I could even make some money, which is much more than selling it as scrap at the steel mill!
However, even if the core device of the lithography machine has been removed, its processing plan is not something I can change at will.

This is not something that can be decided by the board of directors; it requires the approval of the United States.

Because although ASM is located in Lanhe, it is actually controlled by the Minister of Foreign Investment Control of the United States.

This department is in charge of all companies around the world that are controlled by the United States!

The reason for this is that the United States was ahead of other countries in early lithography technology.

But by 1997, when Intel and the U.S. Department of Energy decided to establish the EUVLLC cutting-edge technology organization, the country's lithography machine companies had already declined.

It was in this context that ASM of Lanhe got the opportunity to join the organization and promised to build factories and R&D centers in the United States to meet local needs.

It is also because of this that ASM has been able to soar and become one of the world's largest semiconductor equipment manufacturers.

Of course, this also makes it a company controlled by the United States.

Bu Ji hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask the United States for its opinion on behalf of the other party.

After all, it would be much more profitable to sell the six scrapped lithography machines than to send them to a steel plant for disposal.

Moreover, they are already scrapped and their core devices have been dismantled, so there should be nothing to worry about.

So, Bu Ji said calmly: "I understand, Mr. Wang. But the lithography machine is not an ordinary thing. Even if it is scrapped, I can't deal with it casually. The order I received is to send it to the steel plant for processing. So, I have to make a phone call to ask for their opinions. If they agree, I will naturally sell it to you; but if they don't agree, then I can only say sorry."

"Okay, then please make a phone call and ask." The other party responded with a smile.

"Yeah." Bu Ji responded and hung up the phone.

……

The scene changes to a high-speed train.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, "If the other party said that, it means it hasn't been delivered to the steel mill yet. Next, it depends on the result of his phone call."

He had been worried that the other party had already sent the lithography machine to the steel plant. Now he can feel a little more at ease and just needs to wait for the results.

……

As for Bu Ji, he was still holding his little daughter in his left hand.

After hanging up Wang Yang's phone, he frowned slightly.

But soon, he thought of something, put his little daughter on the ground, and said to her: "Go outside and play with your sister, Daddy has to work."

After hearing this, the little daughter walked out reluctantly. She still wanted to stick to her father.

After watching his lovely little daughter walk out, Buki withdrew his gaze and looked back at the mobile phone in his hand.

He did not call the U.S. Foreign Investment Control Minister immediately, but called Nathan first.

"This Wang Yang said that he got my contact information from Nathan, which means he knows Nathan. I will ask Nathan about his situation first, and then consider whether to call the US officials." Bucky thought to himself.

It doesn't take much time anyway.

"Hello, this is Nathan Davis!" A confident and smiling male voice came from the phone, speaking English.

"Hello, Mr. Davis, I'm Bucky Fewanga from Lanhe ASM." Bucky greeted, his tone was indifferent, not as enthusiastic as Nathan.

"Hello, Mr. Fei Wangjia! Let me guess, did a Chinese named Wang Yang call you?" Nathan's voice came.

He knew that Wang Yang had just called him and asked for Bu Ji's phone number.

Now this Bu Ji suddenly called again, but they have never been in touch with each other before!
So it could only be Wang Yang who called him!
"Yeah," Bucky responded.

He was not surprised that Nathan could guess this, because Wang Yang had already said that he got his contact information from him.

"Did he call you to say he wanted to discuss a business with you? Do you know what business it is?" Buki asked again.

"I don't know about that." Nathan said with a smile.

He didn't ask at the time because it had nothing to do with him! He was just a businessman, not a gossip reporter!
“You might not expect it if you tell me.”

Buji paused and continued, "Our company currently has six scrapped lithography machines that need to be sent to the steel plant for disposal. He came to me and said he wanted to buy these six lithography machines."

"What?!" A surprised voice came from the phone.

Although he didn't see the other person's expression, Bu Ji could imagine his surprised expression after hearing this.

He knew the other party would have such a reaction, because any normal person would be surprised and surprised to hear this!

After all, what’s the point of having six scrapped lithography machines?
……

In the United States, in a luxurious bulletproof Bentley.

After hearing what Buki Fewanga said on the phone, Nathan's gentle face showed surprise.
