The sudden price increase of European companies caught Zhang Lu off guard.

The projects that were previously estimated to be 2 billion or up to 3 billion US dollars could be won, but at this moment, it suddenly soared by 1.5 billion. No one would have accepted it.

Zhang Lu sent an email to the other company in anger, but just three hours later, the other company sent a letter of explanation.

The other company explained in an email that due to concerns about Zhang Lu Zhongzi Capital's background, he authorized the company's patents to other companies, especially high-tech companies in China Zhonghuajia.

This kind of authorization agreement is the least wanted to see in Europe and the West.

The company even worried that the equipment Zhang Lu bought would only be temporarily staying in South Africa and then transported to the flower planter.

Although the 22-nanometer production line is not the most advanced technology, it is said that the flower grower has already broken through the 28-nanometer process itself, even if it is transported back to the flower grower, it will have no impact on the entire world market.

However, when Zhang Lu appeared on the negotiation list of this chip company, he attracted the attention of some Western forces.

For this chip company, they just want to quickly exchange their assets for cash.

While these assets have not depreciated yet, and while these assets still have a high premium, we should quickly trade them for cash.

Now that someone is willing to take over, and there is no price reduction, this is already the best potential buyer.

Compared with other buyers who offer prices, Zhang Lu is undoubtedly the most suitable partner compared to those companies that sell 30% of the price as soon as they open their mouths.

But the pressure from those forces forced the company to bow its head.

Those forces hope that the company would give up negotiations with Zhang Lu and would not sell the production line to him no matter what.

However, this company is no longer the most advanced technology, so it insists on selling its assets. The most important thing is that no one is more suitable than Zhang Luqi.

The company said that anyone who puts pressure on itself can acquire it at Zhang Lu's price.

They don't mind selling to anyone, just reaching the amount they want to acquire.

Those forces exerting pressure only expressed their opinions and made strong opposition.

They did not take any acquisition measures.

Seeing that these people were just talking and unable to take out real money, this European chip company exploded directly on the spot.

If the company sells seven-nanometer or five-nanometer production lines, those who put pressure on themselves can barely have a reason to stand firm.

The company sold 22 nanometer products. Compared with the top technologies of five nanometers or even three nanometers, 22 nanometers have long been an extremely backward product.

After all, after three nanometers and five nanometers, there is still a technology of seven nanometers, ten nanometers after seven nanometers, and fourteen nanometers after ten nanometers as a transition.

The chip after 14 nanometers is the twenty-two nanometers that the company has.

Although it cannot be said that twenty-two nanometers are old-fashioned technology, they are indeed not the top in the industry, even if the company does not sell them to flower growers.

The flower grower has now mastered the 28-nanometer production process.

In the end, the party that applied pressure reached an agreement with the company.

It is possible to sell production lines, but it is necessary to ensure that these equipment and patents cannot be transferred to the flower farm.

There must be a contract for constraints, and in addition to this, software encryption programs must be set up.

It is also at this point that while the chip company makes a compromise, it also increases the price for sale.

"I can't accept the sudden price increase. If your company is worried that I will buy out your patent and then authorize it to other domestic companies, we can sign a memorandum.

It is agreed that these patents must be recognized by you before authorization.

Otherwise, it falls into the category of default.

As long as we sign such a contract memorandum, what else do you have to worry about?” For Zhang Lu, these patents are optional for the current time and space.

What he needs is these equipment, and it is the most important thing to get the equipment.

As for those patents, there is naturally no risk of default when it comes to the time and space of 2002.

What Zhang Lu is most worried about now is that after he acquires the equipment, these Western companies will add some backdoor programs to the equipment.

Especially the direct backdoor needs to be connected in real time and is always subject to supervision by Western companies.

As long as these devices want to run, they must be connected to the Internet in real time to obtain authorization from the other party.

If the other party fails to authorize it in time, these equipment will become the most expensive decoration.

Zhang Lu has also heard of this. It is said that most of the top-level devices bought in China have GPS positioning and networking authorization functions.

Once these devices can be transferred secretly or do things that are not authorized, even equipment purchased at a high price will be locked by the manufacturer.

Once the device is locked, it must be a long negotiation process to complete the boot again.

Zhang Lu even worried that if these devices are transferred across time and space, if they are officially turned on, they will be completely locked?

However, these are not things that Zhang Lu is worried about.

Transportation across time and space does have risks of one kind or another, but this should be in Su'an's risk control concept.

Regarding Zhang Lu's statement, the chip company has a tough attitude and will not have any room for ease.

Although Zhang Lu understood that Su An was very urgent and wanted to get this 22-nanometer production line. However, Zhang Lu did not show panic at this critical moment, but brought several beauties with fair skin, beautiful and long legs.

, went directly to the two international metropolises, New York and Tokyo.

Zhang Lu could guess that he must face many pressures in various aspects to acquire this company in Europe.

In order to let these people dispel their doubts and make them feel that they will not transport the production line back to the flower planter.

Zhang Lu ran directly to New York and Tokyo and met with some local chip design companies.

Even when I was in Tokyo, I visited Nikon to visit their chip production line.

During this visit, Zhang Lu excelled his performance, which made many people who cared about him convinced that Zhang Lu was interested in purchasing Nikon's 32-nanometer production process.

The reason why Zhang Lu made the outside world feel that he wanted to buy Nikon's 32-nanometer production line was to let this European company understand that he did not like their 22-nanometer production process, but liked the launch of South Africa.

tax policy for science and technology industrial parks.

If you buy a production line for chips, as long as it is not clearly outdated at the international level or even at the brink of elimination, you can arrange the production line in the science and technology industrial park to openly take advantage of the tax reduction and exemption policy.

Sure enough, on the night after visiting the Nikon production line, Zhang Lu received a call from a European company in a hotel in Tokyo.

The other party made it clear that there was room for bargaining for price issues, and hoped that Zhang Lu would not have a hasty decision on the procurement matters.

However, when Zhang Lu asked the other company for the latest quotation, the other company clearly stated that it was $4 billion.

The price increase was 1.5 billion US dollars, from 3 billion to 4.5 billion.

Now, after Zhang Lu attacked the east and west, although the other party was forced to reduce the price, this price reduction was obviously a perfunctory approach.

"Sorry, your company's offer is far beyond my budget.

I don't think we need to cooperate anymore, after all, I can't afford so much money." Zhang Lu was too lazy to listen to what the other party said, so he hung up the phone.

The next day, Zhang Lu couldn't wait to sign a letter of intent with Nikon.

Nikon is willing to support South Africa's technological development and is willing to help Zhang Lu build a new chip production base in South Africa.

Together with high-standard dust-free factory buildings and 32-nanometer production lines, the package price is 5 billion US dollars.

This cooperation quickly became the afternoon news of the day, and major TV stations quickly reported it.

While the TV station was reporting, a large number of netizens on the Internet forwarded and discussed it.

For netizens of Neon Country, for a long time, Neon Country has not signed such a large order in the semiconductor industry.

Although Nikon can manufacture advanced lithography machines, this lithography machine system is far behind the top technology.

The chips used in personal computers, whether they are CPUs or GPUs, Nikon's technology level is far from meeting the market demand.

While Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Samsung were working towards three-nanometers, Nikon's technical level was still at 28 nanometers!

Although there are rumors in the market that Nikon decided to skip 14 nanometers and 7 nanometers and go directly to the five nanometers mastered by TSMC and Samsung.

However, this kind of jumping development is extremely difficult for any technical team.

As long as Nikon has not changed its materials and still uses the material "silicon" material, it will not be able to bypass the key technical points of fourteen nanometers and seven nanometers in any case.

If Nikon adopts so-called quantum technology and implements overtaking on the curve, there is a certain theoretical possibility.

Just as gasoline vehicle engine patents are approaching saturation, every car built by the flower shop requires a large amount of patent fees and is difficult to develop.

The arrival of the tram era has given the flower farmer the hope of overtaking on the curve.

Technological changes, especially completely different technologies, will give latecomers a major opportunity to surpass.

At this moment, the Neon Kingdom faced the wave of trams sweeping the world, and once again shed tears silently.

Automobile manufacturers in the entire Neon Country once again pointed out the technology tree.

They put all their bets on hydrogen energy vehicles, but they don’t understand a very simple truth, that is, after monopolizing 80% of the patents of light energy vehicles without a huge market.

Neither Europe nor the two countries at both ends of the Pacific Ocean can accept the reality that hydrogen energy patents are monopolized by others.

In the era of internal combustion engines, flower planters are struggling forward with difficulty.

Now, the era of internal combustion engines is about to come to dusk.

Originally planned to make a breakthrough in the road of hydrogen energy, but unexpectedly, Neon Kingdom directly monopolized 80% of the patents.
