"Sorry to keep you waiting."

In some Japanese-Korean style rooms, after Kaos walked in, he smiled and apologized to Peter Wennink.

"It doesn't matter, I just arrived."

Peter Wennink looked up at Kaos, stood up actively, smiled and waved his hand. After Kaos sat down opposite him, he sat down again.

"How about it? Can you still adapt to the environment here?"

Kaos looked Peter Wennink up and down, and then continued to speak with a smile.

"It's okay. The climate here is very mild and the environment is very beautiful. But you invited me to meet through your father Jess. It's not just to chat about whether you are used to the scenery here."

Peter Wennink only responded briefly to Kaos's words, and then looked at Kaos with a smile, waiting for the other party's reply.

"Mr. Wenning is joking. I just heard that your company and TSMC are preparing to jointly develop SUV lithography machines, so I want to see if we at Google have the opportunity to participate."

Google now has a market value of over 50 billion U.S. dollars. Even among the top 500 companies in the world, it can be ranked high. And when the market value is soaring, Kaos has not neglected its own research and development capabilities. After all, this

This is the core competitiveness of technology companies.

For this reason, in addition to its normal administrative staff, Google has also continued to expand its scientific research team. Now it has about 3,000 people. In addition to computers, there are also many other research teams.

It can be said that Google's participation in it will not only provide financial assistance, but also provide a lot of help to the other party in terms of scientific research strength.

As for knowing which research and development path is feasible, why not conduct research and development yourself? This has to talk about the history of ASML.

Asml can successfully develop photolithography machines. In addition to choosing the right path, its own research and development capabilities and sufficient technical reserves are the fundamental reason why ASML can succeed and go further.

However, the reason why ASML has such strong scientific research and technical reserves is because it took the opportunity of the United States to form the EUV Alliance and joined it.

Asml has thus obtained the priority to use the most advanced semiconductor technology, materials science, optics, precision manufacturing and other related technologies in the United States.

However, ASML is not without its efforts. For example, its own production and supervision authority are also handed over to the American government.

This also allowed Kaos to start from scratch, which must be quite different from the opponent's scientific research capabilities.

But it is also because of ASML's past experience and the American background behind Kaos that it is easier for him to participate.

"Google is also interested in photolithography machines?"

Peter Wennink was a little surprised. If companies like Intel and Qualcomm wanted to join, Peter Wennink would be more understanding. However, as far as he knew, Google did not seem to have a chip business.

"In the future, Google will expand the market for computers and other electronic products, so it needs to make arrangements in advance, at least not to hinder people in the future."

Kaos has no intention of hiding anything like this.

"I see."

Peter Wennink nodded to express his understanding, but he did not agree immediately. He tapped his knees lightly with his fingers, frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"boss..."

Kaos looked at the other party's expression and was about to ask the other party what concerns he had, but Lin Zhiling opened the door and changed his swimsuit into formal clothes. He came in and said hello slightly, then came to Kaos.

Ao Si's ears whispered a report.

"Zhang Zhong is in the lobby on the first floor now. I wonder if Mr. Wen Nink wants to meet him together?"

After listening to Lin Zhiling's report, Kaos nodded and did not rush to let Lin Zhiling leave. Instead, he spoke directly to Peter Wennink with a smile.

This period of time was a critical moment in the negotiations between ASML and TSMC. As the boss of TSMC, Zhang Zhong knew that Peter Wennink had come to see Kaos, so he came to inquire with some concern.

"No, since he is here, you can meet him. After all, the research idea this time is for the other party to provide and support some key technologies. If the other party agrees, then I have no problem here."

Peter Wennink breathed a sigh of relief. He looked very relaxed just now, but he was a little stressed inside.

What he was thinking about just now was how to negotiate terms and how to open this conversation with Kaos. As for rejecting the other party's cooperation, he had no such idea at all.

Not to mention Kaos's own funds are what he needs, but also the number of connections behind him.

Let’s just say that the other party’s father, Jess, successfully took over the newly established Homeland Security Agency of the United States at the end of last year. That is not an ordinary high-power position. It has jurisdiction over a large number of departments. If the other party is concerned about it, then for small countries like them,

Technology companies are definitely not a good thing.

After all, the center of the world is still the United States. The sales and production of ASML's final products are also decided by the other party. If the other party does not give the green light, it is very likely that the sales of the final products will be a huge problem.

Now that Zhang Zhong is here, there is someone to bear this pressure with him.

It's just that Peter Wennink obviously thought too much. There is still the Dutch government behind ASML. At the same time, the American government is considering the subsequent research and development of lithography machines and will not allow anyone to bully the lithography machines used to fight RB.

asml.

But Zhang Zhong is different. The government power of Wanwan is inherently unreliable. If the mainland is not always watching, it will not even have any political status.

Therefore, Zhang Zhong's waist has become even more curved. Originally, only Peter Wennink was better off, but now that Zhang Zhong has joined, the phenomenon of 11>1 has appeared.

"Then we have a happy cooperation."

At the door of the hotel, Kaos smiled and shook hands with the dark-faced Peter Wennink. At the same time, he looked at Zhang Zhong, who was already very old, with fine beads of sweat on his head, and reached out to pat the other person's shoulder, as if

I am very satisfied with the other party's performance just now.

With the cooperation of Zhang Zhongzhiqu, Kaos only spent 800 million US dollars to obtain 30% of TSMC's shares and 20% of ASML's shares. More importantly, the other party agreed that Google would be involved in the entire research process of the project.

.

This means that in the future lithography machines will have no secrets about Kaos. The only thing missing is patent ownership.

“A pleasure to work with.”

Zhang Zhong nodded with a wry smile. Looking at the face of Peter Wennink next to him, he also understood that his performance had offended the other party, but the other party did not know that before he entered the room again, he first received a call from someone on the island.

He was on the phone with a big shot, and with the obvious hint from the other party, how could he dare to say no?

However, Kaos's cooperation is still fair, which is why he agreed happily to cooperate.
