Great Power Technology

Ludao, Gaoqi International Airport.

Huang Qi and Liu Shuang stood side by side in front of the boarding gate, counting the new Taiwan dollars they had just exchanged in their hands, with impatient looks on their faces.

"I'm really convinced by these southerners from mainland China. How come they still use banknotes in this age? Didn't they say that both Line and Apple have their own mobile payments?"

The speaker was Liu Shuang. She had been supporting the Xinghuo Factory as an engineer from Huaxin International since the project was established. After the Xinghuo Factory entered stable operation, due to various factors, she directly transferred to the Xinghuo Factory after the completion of the construction project. , and undertook important technical work.

After three years, she has grown from an ordinary engineer to a technical backbone. This time she went to South Island to discuss follow-up cooperation matters with TSMC.

Huang Qi next to her also comes from Huaxin, but unlike Liu Shuang, he is responsible for work that focuses on project operations. After joining Spark, he moved to the front-end of the business and is now Spark's regional sales director.

Hearing Liu Shuang's complaint, Huang Qi reluctantly put the half-counted cash back together, and then replied:

"I asked you not to interrupt me when I'm counting the money... I'm already halfway through."

"There is mobile payment over there, but you don't have a bank card there. You can't just take out your visa card to pay for a taxi, right?"

"Isn't that bag of yours quite big... Is it okay to carry such a small amount of money?"

Liu Shuang pursed his lips and said dissatisfied:

"It's one thing to be able to install it, but it's another thing to do it or not. If I had known I would have waited until I got off the plane to get the money, I wouldn't have needed it after landing anyway."

"Just to be prepared, just leave it for now - if you really find it troublesome, just put it in my bag first."

"Then leave it to you!"

As soon as he heard Huang Qi's words, Liu Shuang immediately took advantage of the slope and handed all the cash to the other party without even a second's hesitation.

Huang Qi shook his head in amusement, took the cash and put it into his wallet without saying anything else.

He is a married man, and he understands the psychology of girls very clearly. The so-called dislike of the trouble of cash is actually just that he thinks it does not look good to stuff bulging cash in a small bag. In this regard, even a working man like Liu Shuang Technical experts are not exempt from vulgarity.

It's quite a cute nature.

However, when it comes to the mobile payment pattern in the South Island, he sees new opportunities.

Mobile payments based on line and Apple are far less easy to use than WeChat payment in mainland China. If we can conduct some research, it may bring about a new breakthrough.

The significance of this breakthrough is far more than simply market share. More importantly, it is the penetration of a lifestyle and economic style - which is actually consistent with the purpose of my trip.

Thinking of this, he silently recited "pay attention to mobile payment" several times in his mind, juxtaposed with "find a way to get TSMC shares".

Liu Shuang, who was on the side, looked at the way his lips were moving slightly as he muttered something, and asked in a funny tone:

"Mr. Huang, what are you writing down here?"

Huang Qi chuckled and replied:

"Mobile payment! Isn't that the end of the story? This time our schedule was not too tight, and we had no arrangements for the first day. Then we would go shopping in the streets and alleys, conduct a thorough inspection, and convey the information to Superior, let’s see if we can use it.”

Hearing his words, Liu Shuang nodded slightly.

"I heard that someone is doing this, but it might be useful if we go and experience it firsthand... Brother Qi, tell me, will our negotiation go smoothly this time?"

Huang Qi patted Liu Shuang's arm to signal her to get up and board the plane, and replied seriously:

"It won't be too smooth. In fact, it can be seen from their attitude that our early communication has not been smooth. They are unwilling to give up their advantages and rely on their orders from Apple, even if the technology will really fall behind in the next two years. As for us, they won’t go bankrupt immediately.”

"Moreover, ASML's technology updates are also very fast now. The 3nm technology will soon be updated, but our sub-nanometer technology is not yet stable. From their perspective, it is not certain who will win."

"In addition to some reasons that both you and I know...it's normal that they don't want to cooperate with us, but they have to give it a try."

Liu Shuang nodded slightly, and the two entered the cabin along the special passage. After sitting down on the seats, she quietly approached Huang Qi and said:

"Brother Qi, tell me, when we go there this time, does it count as... to persuade him to surrender?"

Huang Qi gave her a dumbfounded look. After pondering for a moment, he answered:

"That's right. But if you put it that way, we are not the only ones trying to persuade us to surrender. I heard that there are also people from IT, agriculture, fishery, culture... Anyway, they are all taking action."

"In the past, we didn't have enough strength and the international environment didn't allow it. But now... we have the right place, right time and right people. As long as we grasp the main line of the economy, there will be no suspense about the final result."

"But they are not that easy to fool, right? Think about it, we are just talking about cooperation this time, and we have not talked about equity transactions yet. Their attitude is so cold... If we really want to get down to business later, they Will they lock us up directly?”

After hearing her words, Huang Qi was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Are you afraid if we are really locked up?"

"Don't tell me, I'm really a little scared..."

"Don't be afraid. As soon as 003 entered the formation, the three aircraft carrier formations were watching eagerly. Who dares to touch us? Besides, if the two armies are fighting and they don't kill the envoys, they won't be so mean."

"This is purely business. Remember this, and don't be too aggressive when you get there. Do you understand?"

Liu Shuang nodded and replied solemnly:

"Understood! I won't cause any trouble to you!"

As he spoke, the plane gradually slid off the runway, and the ground gradually receded. Through the portholes, the blue water was like a shining curtain, connecting the two large and small pieces of land.

Huang Qi looked out the window with some emotion. Recalling his experiences over the past three years, he even felt unreal in his heart.

Obviously three years ago, I was still a small project manager at Huaxin International. I was annoyed by customers, subordinates and superiors every day, and I had to deal with all kinds of weird material and tool restrictions.

He still remembers that at that time, a production tool might be in good use one day, but all offline the next day, because a certain country suddenly issued a ban.

The frustration, anger and unwillingness are still fresh in his memory.

——

but now?

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and I have actually begun to go to TSMC to prepare for cooperation negotiations on behalf of the largest lithography machine manufacturer in the country.

Or to put it more radically, I actually went to declare a challenge.

The final battle cry.

Such a change, such a speed, not to mention others, even he himself had not expected.

Thirty years in Hedong and Thirty Years in Hexi. Things really happened in Hexi. Even this process did not take thirty years - just three years.

He wanted to say something like "The three-year period has come..." but unfortunately, there was no audience.

Liu Shuang on the side looked at his half-smiling expression, and inexplicably retreated to his seat, covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep. He also closed the visor of the porthole window and began to think carefully in his mind. Negotiation details.

More than two hours later, the plane landed at Taoyuan Airport. The two left the arrivals hall, but did not see the TSMC staff who were expected to come to pick up the plane.

Huang Qi frowned. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the contact number, but the answer from the other party made him more and more annoyed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, our receptionist is busy today. She can't get there on time. Do you want to go to Starbucks and wait for now? There is coffee in the arrival hall of the airport."

"...When do you expect to come over?"

Huang Qi's voice was calm, but his face was not pretty.

It is impossible for the other party not to know the importance of this reception. The reason why they do this is most likely just to show their attitude.

This isn't even a negotiating tactic, it's just disgusting.

"Xiansen Huang, I'm really, really sorry. I just confirmed with the receptionist that there is a traffic jam on the road today. It will take about two hours to get there..."

"Two hours? With your little time, I got there on three wheels! Forget it, we'll go there on our own and won't bother you anymore!"

Huang Qi hung up the phone directly, and Liu Shuang on the side shook his head and said:

"It's amazing. You still do this to us...are they really not afraid?"

Huang Qi sighed and replied:

"It's just out of fear that I have to show such a bluffing attitude. In order to build up my reputation, I even ignore basic business etiquette. It's hard for me to believe that this is something that a big company like TSMC can do... ….”

After hearing his words, Liu Shuang's originally mocking smile turned cold.

"You mean, someone behind them has started to intervene?"

"Obviously that's the case, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do such... well, mindless things. Generally speaking, most of the companies in South Island are smart, but their official senior officials are not necessarily so."

"Haven't you heard before? The ugly country's aircraft carrier fleet has all retreated to Guam, and their senior officials are clamoring to buy Patriot missiles. It's really a bit confusing..."

Liu Shuang nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he continued to ask:

"Then what should we do now? Just take a taxi there ourselves?"

Huang Qi sneered and replied:

"Go to hell."

"They can leave us alone, but we can't leave them alone?"

"We are not here to ask them to cooperate, we are here to provide them with the opportunity to cooperate and surrender."

"Now, we have shown our sincerity. If they continue to behave like this, don't blame us. They should be polite before fighting."

"When the impact strategy is launched, if they cry and beg us not to dump, it will be too late..."
