Chapter 172 Lighthouse Country: Where is our aircraft carrier?
"Whoa!"
In the Office of the President of the Lighthouse Nation.
President Harden swept the items on the table to the ground.
At this time, his face was full of anger!
"Don't even think about it! She's dreaming!
"Lithography machine? How is it possible!"
"How could we possibly sell the lithography machine to Longguo?""
"And it's still ten million dragon coins?
"Is she dreaming?!"
In the office, a group of staff members are all gloomy.
They all know that it is absolutely impossible for the lithography machine to be sold to Longguo.
This was the thickest rope they put on Long Guo's neck.
Once sold, what will be the consequences?
They think with their butts and can guess the consequences.
With the consistent style of the people of Longguo.
Once a certain technology is mastered, it is bound to be absorbed and digested in a very short period of time.
And then directly marked the price of cabbage, seized the global market, and forced companies in other countries to die.
Go your own way and let others have no way to go.
Known as "Western Monopoly Crusher"
.
This kind of thing has happened frequently.
Take an example.
Graphene is a high-end material that is used in many technological fields.
In the old days, the Lighthouse State monopolized the market.
Selling this thing is very expensive, 5,000 yuan per gram, which is much more expensive than gold.
Long Guo took a look, what kind of line is this?
Such a high price certainly cannot be used for large-scale civilian use, so how can it serve the people?
So began technical research, and it took a year to build the world's largest graphene production line.
The annual output is 300 tons, and the external price... 1 yuan per gram!
Yes, a dollar a gram!
This made the lighthouse country company, which used to monopolize the market, explode in its mentality!
There are also drones, switches in the communication industry, penicillin, large reducers, LCD panels...
There are so many examples like this!
Even the big stick of sanctions, the lighthouse country does not dare to lift it easily.
why?
Because the more you sanction, the more Long Guo will try his best to develop independently.
Even now, it is no exaggeration to say.
It is precisely because of the long-term blockade and embargo of Western countries that we are forced to do everything by ourselves.
In the end, this is what it is now...
All industries in Longguo can enter the top 5 in the world, and some are even the top two in the world and the first in the world.
Well...except for Dragon Country Football.
As for the chip sanctions, in fact, the lighthouse country has also been a little difficult to ride a tiger.
Because this is almost the last card that can check and balance the Dragon Kingdom in the field of science and technology.
But what is the effect?
Since the sanctions, companies in Longguo have taken action one after another, and the progress of domestic chips has increased by 10 times.
Even in the field of quantum chips and graphene chips, Long Guo is at the forefront of the world.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to sell the lithography machine to the people of Longguo?
Isn't this waiting for the lithography machine to become a cabbage machine?
After a long silence, one of the staff finally spoke up.
"It is absolutely impossible to sell the lithography machine to the people of Longguo.""
“But right now, the eyes of the world are on us.35
"For many ignorant people, they don't even know what the lithography machine is.
"They only know that now Long Guo has proposed to exchange the lithography machine for the treatment of blind people.
"In order not to sell a machine to the people of Longguo, we have ruined countless people's hope of regaining their sight."
"If it goes on like this... something big will happen!
Mention these, the staff is also very close.
During this time, the whole world is not very peaceful.
Why are those other countries so eager to persuade the lighthouse country to lift the chip restrictions?
That's because their interior is already full of contradictions!
So many blind people, already used to living in the dark, are completely desperate.
But as soon as this technology of Longguo came out, they instantly gave birth to countless hopes.
They had no choice but to force their own government.
Of course, these people are all disadvantaged groups and have little voice in society.
But the number involved is too much!
If you don't care, then political enemies will naturally come forward, under the banner of "you deprived the freedom of the light", get you down, and then take your place.
For these Western people who advocate "freedom", it is too easy to confuse them!
what?
You said the staff of the Lighthouse State, why is it so clear?
Because they do it all the time!
Besides, he is currently in the wild, but he has been eyeing and planning!
When it comes to being in the field, the president also has a headache.
Originally, he let go of the chip restrictions on the Dragon Kingdom, naturally not for some bullshit humanitarian spirit.
Instead, it is to create a wave of goodwill among voters and build momentum for the next election season.
But what about now?
What kind of people from the Dragon Kingdom don't play cards according to the routine!
I let go of the chip, and you happily spend money to buy the chip away.
I am happy to get a wave of votes, isn't that the best of both worlds?
But what about now?
How dare you want a lithography machine!
The president has already imagined what will come next.
If he does not agree, then Mirage Technology will never enter the lighthouse country.
Not to mention what kind of riots those blind people will have.
Just his political enemies will put on the hat of "disregarding the people's death and life".
By that time, your reputation is ruined and you still want to win the election?
What? You said to sell the lithography machine to Longguo?
Then his political enemies have more to say.
The rhetoric of betraying the country, capitalizing on the enemy, and having no overall view is definitely a set of rhetoric.
Don't ask how he knows this.
Such routines always have to be staged every few years!
He is a master at it himself!
So now, before him, is a dilemma.
How can this be done?
Bai Xiaoling didn't expect that her casual remarks directly forced the President of the Lighthouse Country into a dilemma.
In fact, she didn't understand these doorways between countries at all.
From her point of view, isn't this just two families doing business?
Isn't it just selling stuff?
You bully me don't you understand?
Isn't it just a set of asking prices and paying back the money on the spot?
It's like selling clothes. I ask for 1,000 yuan, but you can counter-offer 50 yuan.
In the end, we both took a step back and made a deal for 80 yuan. Both parties were happy and felt that they had taken advantage.
Lithography machine Bai Xiaoling also doesn't understand.
I only know that it is a very cool thing that Long Guo can't handle right now.
That being the case, take it as the 1,000 bucks for the asking price.
You counter-offer again, and finally we lower the purchase price of chips. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
Those think tanks of the Dragon Country naturally know the importance of this.
But did not object.
This time it was me who took the absolute initiative, shouldn't I have the final say on the price?
The lithography machine will definitely not give it.
However, it is also good to test the reaction of the other party and weigh the bottom line of the other party.
Besides, this is Su Meng's stuff.
As his fiancée and spokesperson, Bai Xiaoling, what happened to people's willfulness?
Therefore, under the default of many parties.
This seemingly absurd condition was just released.
Then no one thought that the willfulness of such a little girl would make things gradually develop in a very strange direction...
In this super-large-scale game, Long Guo naturally sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and was not in a hurry to make a move.
The Lighthouse Kingdom is also weighing, in the end what kind of overweight is needed to satisfy the little witch.
The entire negotiation fell into a stalemate.
But they froze, and the blind people couldn't sit still.
They don't know these things, they don't know anything about lithography chips.
In their eyes, isn't it just a broken machine?
We have so many eyes, can't we compare to a broken machine?
As a result, the opposing voices became more and more intense one after another.
What's more, in addition to the blind, those who are hearing impaired also joined in.
After all, Longguo has now started the treatment of hearing-impaired patients.
With so many examples ahead, can they still sit still?
If the blind people's ability to take care of themselves is weak, and many people are out of touch with society, it is more serious.
Deaf people are much better off.
After all, some still use hearing aids, and they can still work relatively normally.
Even completely deaf, with the help of sign language, can barely survive.
They can exert more influence than blind people!
Today in the world, the door of the office space in many countries has been occupied by them.
We are free!
We want to be free to receive treatment and buy fantasy technology products freely!
Especially in the lighthouse country, many social contradictions have been further highlighted through this wave of demonstrations.
For example, many customers who are keen on 0 yuan purchases have become active again.
Those political opponents in the opposition are also fanning the flames and taking the opportunity to make trouble.
All of a sudden, President Harden's approval rating in the polls has plummeted!
The entire lighthouse country has fallen into a kind of chaos.
Seeing the development of the situation, many people were stunned.
Isn't this just a random asking price from a little girl?
With the blessings of all kinds of people at the right time and place, how could it have caused such a big chain reaction?
Could this be the legendary daughter of Heaven's Chosen?
numb numb...
"Mr. President, now we have to make a decision."
The staff's face was heavy.
"Many countries around the world have expressed their wishes to us through various diplomatic channels."5
"Even our allies are no exception.
"Now we are almost the public enemy of the whole world!"
"The most important thing is that now the poll approval rate has dropped significantly!"
President Harden is already overwhelmed, how could he not know this?
A...
"Damn! Those diplomats of the Dragon Kingdom are too slick!"
"We talked for a few hours, and we were all talking about delicious food!
"I'm so hungry, but still can't get to the point?"
"What did Mirage Technology say?"
The aide shook his head with a heavy expression on his face.
"Not ideal.
"We have reduced the price of chips by 30%, but there has been no relief there."
"It's just to die for a lithography machine."
"We judge that the 30% discount has not reached their psychological bottom line.
President Harden couldn't bear it any longer and swept everything on the table to the ground.
"What a big appetite! I'm not afraid of being held to death!"
"Mr. President, there is even worse news."
Another staff member had a heavy face.
"According to our information, many large companies in the lighthouse country have come into contact with Mirage Technology individually.
"That includes... Capital International and BlackRock!
what?
This news made President Harden dumbfounded.
After being stunned for a moment, he asked anxiously.
"" They contacted alone? What did they say? 39
"I don't know." The aide shook his head and added.
"They communicated individually at high levels, and we don't have accurate information on the specific content of the communication."
"But according to our information, after the leaders of the two groups in Dragon Country communicated with Mirage Technology, they seem to be in a good mood."
"And they all flew back to the lighthouse country as soon as possible to make an appointment to meet the shareholders meeting at the group headquarters.
shit!
This news made the atmosphere of the scene a lot more solemn all of a sudden.
What will these two groups communicate with Mirage Technology at this time?
It must be related to the lithography machine!
You know, in fact, the only countries in the world capable of generating lithography machines are the Dragon Country, the Cherry Blossom Country and the Windmill Country.
Among them, the ASML company of the windmill country has an absolute technological advantage and monopolized the global high-end lithography machine market.
So why did ASML listen to the lighthouse country and block high-end lithography machines from Longguo?
There are two main reasons. One is that ASML's major shareholder and second shareholder are Capital International Group and BlackRock Group.
Both companies are lighthouse corporations, so ASML is controlled by lighthouse corporations.
Secondly, 90% of the parts of an ASML high-end lithography machine are purchased from the world, of which the lighthouse country provides the support of light sources and metrology equipment.
Based on the above two points, the lighthouse country can easily control ASML.
Even if ASML wants to sell the machine, it is not so easy.
But now, Capital International Group and BlackRock Group have come into contact with Mirage Technology alone?
So what kind of cooperation are they talking about?
Does this even need to be said?
Sure enough, he is a capitalist who only has money in his eyes!
The old director of the chrysanthemum factory was also a little confused.
In theory, he is the chairman of Mirage Technology.
But in fact, he is very clear about his own position, and he has also taken the initiative to let go.
In fact, most of the time, the company's affairs are decided by a higher level.
Even Bai Xiaoling's words were more effective than him.
No way, who asked to provide the core technology, is the man of other people?
"Xiao Ling, you are negotiating with Capital International Group and BlackRock Group, and you actually want to cooperate with them in the lighthouse country?
"Yeah!" (Qian Haozhao) Bai Xiaoling nodded with a look of disapproval.
"Don't Mengzi want a lithography machine?
"If you don't give them some sweetness, how can they get you a lithography machine?"
"What Mengzi wants, I will definitely help him get it back! 35
The old factory manager is a little numb.
This is a very large-scale game that has affected the whole world. Every move and every move must be carefully considered!
How good are you, only the little man in your family is on your mind?
Just because he casually said that he wanted a lithography machine, you made such a decision?
This is...
Not only him, but also the think tank of Illusion Technology.
How can this little aunt be so simple in doing things?
After thinking about it, someone said tentatively.
"Mr. Bai, why don't you get in touch with Professor Su? Listen to his opinion?
"Okay, okay!" Bai Xiaoling smiled and dialed the phone directly.
"Mengzi, don't you want a lithography machine?"
"Um...oh...I said that." Su Meng seemed a little absent-minded on the other end of the phone.
"Then I can get some benefits from the treatment of the blind, and exchange some lithography machines..."
"Huh?" Su Meng was also stunned on the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Bai, you...you really are the daughter of heaven!
"You can do it yourself, that thing..."
Su Meng looked at the tasks that had just been refreshed in the system interface, and was already a little numb.
How could Bai Xiaoling be so lucky when he did things, and he was just in time for it?
Is it really the daughter of God, the daughter of God's choice?
Hemp egg!
I, who have a system, have no such great luck!
…Seedling…
In the Office of the President of the Lighthouse State.
President Harden is raising his arms and shouting.
"We are a great beacon country, and we must not be led by the dragon country!
"They're putting pressure on us, and we're going to put pressure on them!
His eyes swept from everyone, and finally fell on the face of the Minister of Defense.
Finally said the famous words of the President of the Lighthouse State.
"Where is our aircraft carrier?!"
