Chapter 652 I'm Not Undercover(2/2)
In response to the conditions put forward by Hu Yang, Kitahara Kurasuke did not act as if he was surprised.
The reason why Kitahara Kurasuke came to Hu Yang to discuss cooperation instead of Li Qi was that Nikon was already convinced that the Huijia system would acquire microelectronic equipment sooner or later.
Nikon has made an in-depth analysis of Hu Yang’s history in the semiconductor field and feels that he has taken extremely solid steps every step of the way. Facts have proved that what he wanted to do was finally accomplished.
Nikon itself has no chance in the field of high-end lithography equipment. The reason is still the same: lithography machines are a very niche industry. Without orders and long-term customers, it will eventually fail.
Hu Yang’s Huijia system is different. The semiconductor kingdom he has established over the years has almost formed a closed-loop ecosystem.
In view of the repeated suppression in North America, the process of "de-North Americanization" has actually begun within the Huijia Group.
That is, localization alternatives for key technologies and important equipment, commonly known as the “spare tire plan.”
During his time at Microelectronics Equipment, Kitahara Kurasuke personally verified the technical strength of the Huijia system and believed that the opponent was not an "Adou who could not be supported", but a star of tomorrow with great potential.
"Mr. Hu, thank you very much. I hope our cooperation can get off to a good start. Sorry to bother you for so long. Our negotiating team will arrive within three days."
Kitahara Kurasuke achieved his goal and stood up to leave.
After Hu Yang waited for Wu Xinhui to see the guests back, he asked her to call immediately and inform Meng Rusong, Huang Tao, Xu Younian, Zhang Xiao, Dai Xiangjun and others to come to the International Building for a meeting in the afternoon.
Populus euphratica does not reject the olive branch extended by Nikon.
Kitahara Kurasuke also said just now that the cooperation between the two parties only involves high-end lithography machines, and does not include mid- to low-end lithography equipment.
In other words, in the field of mid-to-low-end lithography, how we compete is still the same. Although Nikon no longer produces high-end lithography machines, it has a lot of raw materials and parts to supply, and even some technologies are not transferable.
Therefore, when everyone sat down for a meeting in the afternoon, almost everyone agreed that we could cooperate with Nikon.
This kind of cooperation is definitely a win-win situation in the short term.
"Mr. Hu, then there is only one question left, and that is whether we can successfully acquire microelectronic equipment."
Xu Younian saw clearly that Nikon would not cooperate with a mere microelectronics equipment company.
