"I never expected this..."
Looking at the huge office building in front of him, Blake's mood was very complicated.
He never thought that this task would fall on his head, but the chairman's reasons were very good.
First of all, Blake was originally the vice president in charge of purchasing, so he was duty-bound for the task of the photolithography machine. Secondly, Blake had been exaggerating the Daqian threat for the past two years, so he must be the person in the company who understood the Daqian and Jia Yapeng the best. He was naturally the most likely person to persuade Boss Jia.
Lastly, Blake was also the only person in the senior management of Intel who had direct contact with Jia Yapeng. Although the two of them were not very friendly in the Netherlands, the Daqian won in the end, and the two 70nm photolithography machines were taken home by the Daqian. Blake was the one who suffered a loss, so Jia Yapeng probably felt guilty.
"I don't know if he feels guilty or not, but he definitely wants to eat me..." Blake groaned helplessly, but he could only bite the bullet and ask to see Boss Jia.
The other party was very enthusiastic. After explaining the purpose of his visit, the beautiful blonde girl at the front desk immediately led Blake to the company's reception room, and then served him a cup of fragrant cat poop coffee, the latest magazine, and a comfortable sofa. The service was very considerate.
But it felt a little wrong.
A few hours later...
The coffee had been changed several times, and the magazine had reached the last page. No matter how comfortable the sofa was, one's back would ache after sitting for a long time, but Jia Yapeng still did not appear. Blake could only anxiously walk back and forth in the reception room, and then from time to time, he would disturb the receptionist at the front desk, and then he would get a smiling, formulaic response.
"Please wait a moment."
"The chairman is in a very important meeting now!"
"The chairman may be a little bit late, maybe he will be here soon."
Blake found these words oddly familiar. When he finally recalled that this was the set meal he had prepared for Jia Yapeng, he was dumbfounded.
"It's over. Jia Yapeng won't waste a few days of my time, will he? After all, that's what I thought back then! "Blake cried out in despair.
Fortunately, Boss Jia was not that bored. After waiting for almost eight hours, when everyone got off work like a tide and there seemed to be no staff left, the receptionist, who was about to leave, found Blake with a smile and said, "The chairman sent a car to pick you up. Please come with me!"
"Phew …" Blake let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he was led to the underground parking lot by the front desk. He got into a car that looked much smaller than a BMW mini. After a strong sense of acceleration, he arrived at a place that seemed somewhat familiar.
"Isn't this the place where I often meet Kogiyoshi and the others?" Blake felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, Boss Jia did not meet Blake in the private room where they often met. Instead, he met Blake in the club's public lounge.
"Mr. Jia, it's really not easy to meet you!" As soon as they met, Blake said with resentment.
"You don't have to be so depressed!" Boss Jia laughed and said, "In fact, we could have met long ago. It's just that since you don't have time, I'm naturally busy too!"
"By the way, if you are full of resentment, then there's no need for us to talk. Come on, send the guest out!" Boss Jia said bluntly. Although Blake could not wait to leave immediately, in the end, he held Boss Jia's hand with a humble expression and said, "Mr. Jia, forgive me for offending you, but this is not my business alone. For the friendship between the Daqian and Intel, let's have a good talk!"
"Hehe, so there's still friendship between Intel and the Daqian!" Boss Jia said in a strange tone. Blake could only laugh along. After all, this matter was indeed Intel's fault.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Boss Jia asked straightforwardly.
"It's about your chip …"
"Why? Intel won't sell it to me, and you won't let me buy it from others?"
"No … We just want to know who the person who sold you the chip is!"
"Oh … I know that!" Boss Jia laughed and said, "But I won't tell you!"
"…" Blake felt as if someone had punched him in the chest. A person like Boss Jia, who didn't play by the rules, was really uncomfortable.
In desperation, Blake could only repeatedly praise Boss Jia.
"Hehe, if I tell you, will Intel be able to sell the chip to the Daqian again? I'm not talking about the stock in a few years, I'm talking about the stock right now at the original price! "Boss Jia said the last few words in a particularly loud and forceful voice.
"This …" Blake was a little dumbfounded. He really could not promise this kind of thing.
"Goodbye!" Boss Jia left in a huff again. Blake could only hold on to Boss Jia's arm and beg for mercy. In the end, he could only say helplessly, "Mr. Jia, I'll be honest with you. Personally, and even the entire Intel company, is very willing to sell the CPU to you."
"But there are some things that we can't decide. This time, the Morgan Financial Group has spoken. You know what the Morgan Financial Group means to the entire world. If they don't agree, my promise has no meaning. Even if you force me, there's no use!"
"Is that so?" After hearing Blake's honest words, Boss Jia was finally a little moved. He pondered for a while and said, "Okay, but I have a condition. That is, you have to tell me all the information you know about the Morgan Financial Group, including all the Morgan Financial Group's tentacles in the world … Anything related to the Morgan Financial Group, you have to tell me!"
"Okay …" Blake did not hesitate for too long and agreed. After all, it was just information. However, he was still very cautious. He asked to talk to Boss Jia in a private space, not in a public space.
After all, in the United States, there could be Morgan Financial Group's spies anywhere.
So the two of them got into Boss Jia's private car. Only a bodyguard of Hua Xia and a driver of Hua Xia came with them. They were Boss Jia's most trusted subordinates. It was only at this time that Blake began to talk and tell Boss Jia everything he knew.
"Mr. Jia, now you can tell me which company does the 50nm lithography machine belong to!" Blake finally asked.
"Far away on the horizon, right in front of you!" Boss Jia squinted his eyes and smiled.
"What do you mean?" Blake was stunned.
"Do you want me to be more specific?" Boss Jia touched Blake's head. "Then listen carefully. The manufacturer of the 50nm lithography machine is me. It's the Daqian Optoelectronics, a subsidiary of the Daqian Group. From the lithography machine to the chip, all the equipment is self-supplied by the Daqian Group."
"…" Blake continued to be stunned.
"If you don't believe me, then the Daqian Group will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce this news to the world, as well as the relevant equipment and parameters. I have an invitation here. If Mr. Blake has time, you can come and take a look!"
After saying that, Blake was sent out of the car. Boss Jia walked away, leaving him alone in the wind, feeling disheveled.
