Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 129 I am about to cry, the quality of photoresist takes off (long chapter, please subscribe)

In fact, this is not the first time that someone has come to Cui Zhenxue and said that they want to sell semiconductor materials to Juxing Technology.

But after chatting with them, you will find that none of them are reliable.

Either the person is unreliable.

Or the price is unreliable.

Of course, more often than not, both the people and the prices are unreliable.

But now Cui Zhenxue has been forced into a desperate situation and he really can't be picky anymore.

Since the other party has come to you on his own initiative, let's have a good talk and see if there is any possibility of cooperation.

Cui Zhenxue asked someone to bring tea, intending to find out Yu Dongmei's background first.

"Ms. Yu, as far as I know, the supply of semiconductor materials is generally tight right now. Few people can get enough. At least the middlemen I found can't."

Yu Dongmei nodded: "That's true, that's why we seem to have a lot of advantages and capabilities. There's a saying from the mainland that goes, if you don't have the diamond drill, don't take on the porcelain job. We have the diamond drill."

Cui Zhenxue couldn't help but say: "This should be a famous saying of the Chinese people, not just people from the mainland who say this."

Yu Dongmei waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, these are all very funny words. Anyway, what I mean is that we have the ability to do it, otherwise we wouldn't come to you to discuss cooperation."

Cui Zhenxue said: "I know. What I mean is, why do you have this strength? How did you do it? The core chemical companies in Xiaorizi are now under strict supervision. It should be impossible for anyone to get a large amount of goods and resell them to mainland China."

Yu Dongmei laughed and said, "Well, this is our core secret and involves our core competitiveness, so I can't explain it too clearly. Boss Cui, do you understand this?"

Cui Zhenxue was speechless for a moment. He couldn’t say this, and he couldn’t say that. Then how did he know that Yu Dongmei was not a liar?
"Okay, what semiconductor materials can you get?"

Yu Dongmei crossed her arms and said calmly, "As long as you can tell us the name, we can get it."

"…So confident?"

“That’s how confident I am.”

Cui Zhenxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, we can accept it, maybe we can try to cooperate once first."

Yu Dongmei smiled slightly: "Boss Cui, how do you want to cooperate?"

"Let's do it as usual. We'll pay a deposit first, about 10 to 20 percent. After the goods are delivered, we'll pay you the balance in full. Is that okay?"

Yu Dongmei immediately said, "No."

Cui Zhenxue was a little confused.

"No? Why? Isn't this a normal practice?"

"If it was in the past, this would be fine, but it's different now. Now we need to smooth things over and ship semiconductor materials to mainland China. This is quite difficult and risky. If things go wrong, they will be detained overseas, so we need you to pay the full amount in advance."

"Pay the full amount? This..."

Cui Chengxue obviously could not accept this way of cooperation for the time being.

The risk is too great!
If the other party is a liar, then won’t all the money paid be wasted?

Not even a pebble could be seen.

The key is that the amount of money involved is too huge, semiconductor materials are very expensive, and the quantity is terrifying.

Juxing Technology is a medium-sized semiconductor company. A single purchase of semiconductor materials for a company of this size involves millions of dollars.

But judging from Yu Dongmei's attitude, this is not negotiable.

Cui Zhenxue had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, even if what you said is true, how do we place an order? How long will it take for the goods to arrive after we place an order? There has to be an explanation for this, right?"

"Of course there is a saying. The total order amount must be more than 10 million Huayuan, and the delivery time must be within three months. If the goods cannot be delivered within three months, we can discuss compensation, but I promise that this will not happen."

Cui Zhenxue grasped the key point immediately.

An order of 10 million yuan.

Within three months...

Cui Zhenxue shook his head. "Within three months? It will take three months for the goods to arrive. How can we wait that long? And the total amount of this order is too outrageous!"

Yu Dongmei said disapprovingly: "There is nothing we can do. This is the market situation now. Boss Cui, to be honest, we have been in the mainland for less than a month, and two companies have already signed contracts with us and paid the full amount."

"This……"

Yu Dongmei added: "And don't think that 10 million yuan worth of goods is a lot. According to the current market conditions, there really aren't that many."

Cui Zhenxue was stunned and speechless.

Does that mean that 10 million Huayuan can’t buy much?
How many times would the price have to be increased?
It’s hard to say how Cui Zhenxue feels now.

It feels like the other party is asking for too much, and also like they are taking advantage of the situation, and the intensity of their actions is outrageous.

The key point is that what Yu Dongmei said is true, and it’s fine as long as we can get the goods!

I'm afraid the other party is a liar and will disappear after taking 10 million.

This is not new.

Especially since the other party came from that small island, Cui Zhenxue didn't trust them very much.

Yu Dongmei added: "Boss Cui, you can't hesitate in your current situation. You can think about it carefully, but let me say this first. The amount of goods we can get is also limited. If it is taken by other companies, then he can't guarantee it for you."

This is a definite threat!

If Cui Zhenxue had been in his previous temper, he would have driven these people away long ago.

But it’s not possible now, Cui Zhenxue seems to have been completely controlled by the other party.

Cui Zhenxue is really short of semiconductor materials, and he can't start work without materials.

Needless to say, this situation will not last long. If it continues for another two months, all the factories will go bankrupt.

The supply of materials must be solved at all costs.

Cui Zhenxue looked at Yu Dongmei and said, "No matter what, I can't make a decision so hastily. Let me think about it carefully."

"Okay, Boss Cui, let's go first. You can think about it slowly."

As she spoke, Yu Dongmei winked at the other two people.

The three of them stood up and were about to leave.

This really made Cui Zhenxue collapse.

Cui Zhenxue said quickly, "Wait a minute, Ms. Yu, please wait a moment. I'm going to go out and do something. I'll be back soon. You guys can have some tea first. Don't worry."

Yu Dongmei said, "Okay, then we'll wait a little longer, but not too long, as we still need to meet a few clients."

Cui Zhenxue nodded, then pushed the door open and went out.

Cui Zhenxue was at a loss and paced back and forth in the corridor.

It’s difficult! It’s really hard to make a decision this time.

Should you agree to the harsh conditions proposed by Yu Dongmei?

Agreeing or not agreeing, it feels wrong.

But the question is, what if what Yu Dongmei said is true?
To be honest, if they can really get semiconductor materials, this condition is actually acceptable.

The price doesn’t matter, as long as it exists and can solve the urgent problem.

It is only natural to spend money to avoid disasters.

correct……

Cui Zhenxue suddenly thought of Hu Jiangshan, whom he met yesterday.

Hu Jiangshan said he would give a reply today.

Cui Zhenxue shook his head, feeling that the hope on Hu Jiangshan's side was too slim.

It is not realistic to place hope on Hu Jiang, as he seems less reliable than Yu Dongmei.

Just then, Cui Zhenxue's cell phone rang.

【Caller ID: Hu Jiangshan】

As soon as he saw the caller ID, Yu Zhenxue's body froze.

It turned out to be Hu Jiangshan who called!

Cui Zhenxue's hands began to tremble as he held the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Hu. Oh, yes, I'm Cui Zhenxue."

“…Really? Oh my god! Is this true?!”

"Okay, I understand. I'll be ready right away!"

At the same time, in the conference room, Yu Dongmei was talking to two other younger brothers.

"Sister Yu, you are really amazing. You have got Boss Cui under control."

"Yes, I feel like Boss Cui is about to collapse."

"Stop talking nonsense. How can this be called collapse? This is called surrender!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I will soon surrender to Sister Yu's charm."

Yu Dongmei rolled her eyes at the other person: "Damn it, stop talking nonsense. If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak! You make me look like I'm doing something wrong!"

The other two brothers laughed.

"Sister Yu, do you think Boss Cui will agree?"

Yu Dongmei smiled coldly: "He wants to refuse, but does he have the capital to do so? Let me tell you, these people have no choice. Even if they know there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they have to jump in!"

In fact, Yu Dongmei is not a liar. She really has channels to obtain semiconductor materials, but it just takes more time and costs more at this time.

But having the ability doesn't mean Yu Dongmei will do it.

Even if we want to do it, the price will be very high.

And Yu Dongmei must feel comfortable, otherwise the delivery time will be extended indefinitely.

These people will get no response from heaven or earth.

Yu Dongmei sneered again. Who asked them to start a business in the mainland?
If we move away, there won't be so much trouble.

They deserve this bad luck!

Just then, the door opened.

Cui Zhenxue walked in.

Yu Dongmei said calmly: "Boss Cui, have you thought about it?"

Cui Zhenxue nodded: "I've considered it."

"Ah? That's great."

Yu Dongmei was a little surprised. She didn't expect Cui Zhenxue to figure it out so quickly. It had only been less than ten minutes.

It's rare! He who knows the current situation is a hero!

Yu Dongmei said: "Boss Cui, let's start the cooperation. I have drafted a contract here. You can take a look. If there is no problem, we can sign it in draft. After the full payment is made..."

"no need."

"…Ah? What do you mean?"

Cui Zhenxue said calmly: "Ms. Yu, I don't plan to cooperate with you."

"What? You don't plan to cooperate with us? Boss Cui, are you sure? It seems that you have no choice but to cooperate with us!"

"It's okay, we will find a way ourselves. Sorry, Ms. Yu, I have something else to do, so I won't take you there. Please do as you please."

Having said that, Cui Zhenxue walked out, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment in the conference room.

Yu Dongmei was embarrassed for a moment and was speechless.

The other two began discussing in low voices, looking angry.

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly not talking about it?"

“Is Boss Cui playing hard to get?” “I think so. They just want to lower the price and see how we react.”

"... Damn it! We gave them face."

"Sister Yu, we can't let this black-hearted boss succeed! Just keep him hanging!"

There was a "pop" sound.

Yu Dongmei slammed the table: "Alright, stop arguing!"

A moment later, the three of them walked out of the office building of Juxing Technology.

Yu Dongmei looked back at the door of the office building and saw that Cui Zhenxue did not chase her out.

The other party obviously really doesn't want to talk, and is obviously not playing hard to get.

But why did Cui Zhenxue suddenly behave like this?
This is really weird, have they found another solution?
How is this possible! It's absolutely impossible!
Yu Dongmei shook her head, thinking that it was Cui Zhenxue who was struggling to death.

It doesn’t matter. Once this guy suffers a loss, he will know that he was wrong.

But by then I will definitely raise the price for him, making him pay a higher price!
Thinking so, Yu Dongmei left the compound of Juxing Technology.

At the same time, Cui Zhenxue made several phone calls in the office and then began to become restless again.

Hu Jiangshan just called and informed Cui Zhenxue that he was sure to get the semiconductor materials needed by Juxing Technology.

Not just one or two, but all.

The most difficult part is photoresist, but Hu Jiangshan actually said there is no problem at all.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan was able to send the photoresist samples immediately.

This made Cui Zhenxue very excited, and he immediately drove away Yu Dongmei and three others.

In fact, Cui Zhenxue had wanted to do this for a long time, but he just didn't have the confidence.

Everything is fine now. We are just waiting for Hu Jiangshan to send over the photoresist samples.

Just now, Cui Zhenxue has notified Fang Haitao and several other technicians to prepare to test the photoresist samples.

If all the conditions are met, that would be great!

That’s right, if we can even handle photoresist, then other chemicals will naturally be no problem at all.

After all, the technical threshold of photoresist is the highest.

Before the photoresist samples were delivered and tested, Cui Zhenxue was inevitably very nervous, feeling anxious and uneasy.

Generally speaking, these things are monopolized by several large chemical companies in our country, and I don’t know where Hu Jiangshan got them from.

But Cui Zhenxue also knew that he couldn't be suspicious now, and everything would depend on the test results.

Cui Zhenxue waited for more than an hour in anxiety and almost had a mental breakdown.

Just then, the cell phone rang.

Yu Zhenxue answered the phone without even looking at it.

Yu Zhenxue asked: "Hello, who is this?"

The other party had an unfamiliar voice: "Hello, is this Mr. Cui? I'm here to deliver something."

"Okay, okay, where have you been?"

"We're almost at the door, find someone to pick us up."

"Okay, no problem."

Cui Zhenxue was very excited, and then he remembered that he did not ask the other party what the gift was.
If it was some other courier or something, I would be extremely disappointed.

Cui Zhenxue found a few people from the factory and immediately went outside to pick up the goods.

Cui Zhenxue originally wanted to wait in the office, but after thinking it over, he realized he couldn't wait any longer, so he just went out.

I saw a van coming outside with the words "Huolala" printed on it.

Wow, is this how the photoresist was delivered?
Cui Zhenxue was stunned, dumbfounded, and felt disappointed. He felt that it was not reliable.

After the van stopped, Cui Zhenxue came to the back of the van and couldn't wait to open the trunk lid.

There was indeed a storage barrel inside.

Generally speaking, these large barrels are filled with chemicals, including photoresist.

But there is no words on the storage barrel.

Cui Zhenxue became excited again and immediately had the storage barrels moved to the laboratory to start testing.

The test requires a lot of procedures, and it may not be completed before leaving get off work.

Cui Zhenxue waved his hand at the others and said, "Work overtime today! Even if you have to work all night tonight, you have to get the test results for me. The overtime pay will be three times, no, five times!"

When Fang Haitao and his companions heard this, they became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and started to get busy with great enthusiasm.

Cui Zhenxue didn't plan to leave today and just waited in the office.

Drink tea or coffee and make sure you know the results first.

Cui Zhenxue persisted until one o'clock in the morning, but there was still no news.

Cui Zhenxue wanted to sleep, but he couldn't. He also wanted to go to the laboratory to see what was going on, but he was worried that it would put pressure on the technical staff. Besides, it would be useless if he went, so he might as well wait here to hear the results.

Cui Zhenxue simply lay down on the sofa and took a nap.

At this time, in the laboratory, Fang Haitao and several other staff members were working overtime to carry out testing.

Now all the preparations are done.

They divided the sample into ten equal parts, and each part was coated with a different professional testing agent.

Now we need to wait for these drugs to take effect and reflect the test results.

Almost all of them took a cup of coffee to refresh themselves.

"Do you think this bucket of photoresist is reliable?"

"I think the color is pretty good, and the purity should be quite high. What do you think, Brother Fang?"

Fang Haitao nodded: "It looks good to the naked eye, but the final result depends on the test results."

Someone asked: "Brother Fang, I heard that these photoresists are not from Xiao Rizi. Can they really be qualified? What if they are not qualified?"

Fang Haitao glared at the other person and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You're saying it's unqualified before the results are out yet. You're such a pessimist!"

Others also verbally attacked it.

In fact, Fang Haitao was also worried.

According to common sense, only a few small chemical companies can produce such high-standard photoresist.

Not to mention in China, there are no alternatives even in other countries.

Even though Smecta’s semiconductor industry is so developed, it is unable to produce high-quality photoresist.

But Fang Haitao still hopes that a miracle will happen. After all, everyone knows the consequences if sufficient semiconductor materials cannot be found.

Juxing Technology will definitely be finished soon, and will have to shut down completely within two months.

Everyone waited for another half an hour, and Fang Haitao said, "It's time! Let's see the results."

Sure enough, the test results came out.

Everyone hurriedly entered the results into the computer, and when they compared them, they were all stunned.

Fang Haitao shouted, "Quick! Quickly notify President Cui! The results are out!"

A moment later, Cui Zhenxue rushed in.

"Haitao! What's the situation now?"

Fang Haitao quickly said: "Boss Cui, you passed!"

Cui Zhenxue's eyes widened: "All passed!?"

"Yes, all passed! Mr. Cui, please take a look, all the indicators are fine!"

Cui Zhenxue knew everything. He looked at the data on the screen carefully and felt his scalp tingling.

Not only did all the indicators meet the standards, but some of them even exceeded the passing line by a lot! It has reached the level of advanced photoresist.

Using such photoresist will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Fang Haitao couldn't help but say: "Boss Cui, I don't know where these photoresists are produced from. I feel that the indicators are different from those sent by Xiao Rizi. They are very strong!"

Cui Zhenxue was so excited that his eyes turned red. He said, "Don't worry about it! As long as we can use it, it's fine! As long as we have enough, it's fine!"

At this time, it was three o'clock in the morning and it was still dark.

Hu Jiangshan was still in Guangwan City, sleeping in the hotel he often visited.

I am sleeping soundly and having sweet dreams that I cannot describe.

Suddenly, music sounded.

Hu Jiangshan suddenly jumped up from the bed, looking confused.

Oh my god, this is really weird.

What time is it now? Who is calling?
Hu Jiangshan rubbed his eyes and felt numb when he looked at the screen.

【Caller ID: Boss Cui】

It seems that Cui Zhenxue hasn't slept yet.

What could Hu Jiangshan do?

I had no choice but to answer the phone, and sure enough, Cui Zhenxue's voice came from the other end, a little hoarse.

"Hey, Mr. Hu, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled bitterly: "Boss Cui, what you said is because you woke me up."

Cui Zhenxue laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't help it. I have to call you to confirm a few things."

Hu Jiangshan said, "It's okay, Boss Cui, go ahead and talk."

"Mr. Hu, the photoresist has been tested and fully meets the requirements!"

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "That's good."

"I, I want to know if these photoresists are limited in quantity? I can buy them from you anytime, right?"

"Yes, that's no problem at all. I can supply it anytime."

Cui Zhenxue became even more excited: "That's great. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, as long as the quantity is sufficient."

Hu Jiangshan said, "Boss Cui, there is no need to discuss the price. Just give me the same amount as you paid for it before."

“…Ah? Really?”

"How can I joke about this?"

Cui Zhenxue thanked him quickly and sounded like he was about to cry.

Obviously, Cui Zhenxue has been under too much pressure recently, and now that the problem has been solved, he naturally exploded.

Cui Zhenxue also confirmed with Hu Jiangshan that several other chemicals could be supplied normally and that there would be no price increase for Cui Zhenxue.

Cui Zhenxue was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Hu, when are you free to sit down and have a few drinks?"

Hu Jiangshan replied, "There's no rush for that. Boss Cui, please start the production line first and wait until this period of busyness is over. Since we're working together, there will definitely be opportunities for us to meet each other."

"Okay! You're right! Mr. Hu, I can't thank you enough for your kindness!"

Cui Zhenxue didn't disturb Hu Jiangshan's sleep anymore. He said a few polite words and hung up the phone.

Now Hu Jiangshan couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to, and he looked helpless.

However, Hu Jiangshan still had to be busy in Guangwan City for a few days to produce all the chemicals that Cui Zhenxue needed and transport them over for emergency relief.
