Chapter 339 High Price Is Normal Price (Part 2)

Speaking of the United States, Ye Chen was very upset. [Latest chapter reading] If the military base is not too important, Ye Chen would not want to sell photonic chips to the United States. Now that the American procurement team is here, Ye Chen can't help thinking that this time he must slaughter the United States.

Ye Chen rushed to his office, drank a cup of tea, and listened to music for another hour, and then slowly called the American purchasing group to come in to meet him.

This time, the U.S. procurement team was led by Commerce Minister Martin, and came to Future Concept Technology to explain their intentions, and the company arranged for them to wait. It doesn't matter if you wait, it's been a long time, almost two hours.

Martin is a smart man, and he knew very well that this was Ye Chen trying to show him off, to embarrass him, otherwise, he would have seen him long ago. But he got the news that as soon as the bear purchasing group arrived in Fengzhou, not only did they see Ye Chen for the first time, but they were also invited by Ye Chen to eat and drink at home.

He secretly scolded the American representative who came to see Ye Chen a few times ago, how did this work? He can't even make a good relationship with Ye Chen. What if Ye Chen takes advantage of the United States and drags the photon chip?

The United States is now waiting for photonic chips to do research.

Look at Mao Xiong, he has already received the photon chip presented by Ye Chen, and he doesn't know where the research has progressed, and the United States still has nothing.

At this moment, Zhong Lijun told him that he could go to see Ye Chen, Martin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally see Ye Chen, hoping to gain something.

Martin took a breath, calmed down, with a smile on his face, as if he was going to see the President of the United States, he walked quickly to Ye Chen's office, stretched out his right hand from a long distance, greeted Ye Chen, and said, "Ye, you Good! I am Martin, Secretary of Commerce of the United States. It is a great honor to meet you."

"Minister Martin? Hello, please sit down." Ye Chen stood up with a smile on his face, shook hands with Martin, and asked him to sit down.

Martin clearly felt that although Ye Chen had no problems with etiquette and had everything he needed, there was an obvious sense of distance, which was not a good sign.

"Thank you." Martin thanked politely, and then sat down.

Zhong Lijun poured tea for Martin, and Martin saw it as unpleasant.

He studied Ye Chen carefully, and knew that Ye Chen would pour tea for someone he valued. After all, he is also a minister, and he is also the Secretary of Commerce of the United States, the most powerful country in the world. He has a high status and will be respected wherever he goes. Even those countries want to please him when they see him. It's all right now, Ye Chen doesn't pour tea for him, which shows that he doesn't hold enough weight in Ye Chen's mind.

If it were another person, he would take advantage of him.

But he was facing Ye Chen, so he didn't dare to do this, so he had to thank him again.

Anyway, Martin is also a guest, and Ye Chen, the host, should take the initiative to ask him why he came. Even if you don't ask Martin's reason for coming, you still have to find something to say, so as not to be cold. Ye Chen was very straightforward, and he didn't bother to say anything, and there was a cold scene.

Martin knew that Ye Chen did it on purpose, so he had no choice but to clarify himself, saying: "Mr. Ye, I came to Toyosu this time to represent the US government. We want to purchase photonic chips from you."

Ye Chen secretly scolded Martin in his heart that he was not a thing, he didn't bring gifts, and he wanted a chip, so let's dream.

Nodding his head, Ye Chen started to play dead again and stopped talking.

Martin really wanted to point at Ye Chen's nose and scold, you really don't regard the Minister of Commerce as a cadre, do you? Say something, liven up the atmosphere, will you die? It's a pity that the situation is stronger than others, so he had to hold back his unhappiness, smiled all over his face, and said, "Mr. Ye Chen, can I ask what price you want to sell the photon chip to us?"

After finishing speaking, his eyes widened and he stared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen publicly stated that he would sell it to the United States at a price that was ten times higher. Although this matter was exposed because the old man came to Fengzhou for an ice-breaking trip, God knows whether Ye Chen will bring it up again.

"What price are you going to give?" Ye Chen asked.

"Mr. Ye, when we were negotiating with your country, your country agreed to sell it to us at a normal price. I think we can accept your domestic price." Knowing that the situation was not good, Martin hurriedly moved out the terms of the negotiation.

"Domestic price?" Ye Chen finally had a reaction. He sat up straight, looked at Martin with a serious face, and sneered, "Minister Martin, I think you made a mistake. Our country promised you that we will Sell ​​it to you at the normal price, but not the domestic price, but the export price."

"Mr. Ye, I have to remind you that you are violating the treaty." Martin quickly protested.

"It's not that I violated the treaty, it's that you didn't clarify and made a mistake." Ye Chen said solemnly: "In the high-tech field, the export price is much higher than the domestic price, which is an international norm. Moreover, This is what you made in the United States."

Martin's mouth opened, unable to refute.

Ye Chen didn't talk nonsense, it was a fact.

The United States is known as a powerful country in science and technology. It is the country with the largest high-tech exports in the world. It plays a pivotal role in the high-tech field and can influence the direction of the high-tech field. In order to maximize benefits, the United States has formulated many shameless rules.

For example, exported products are much more expensive than domestic products, which is one of them.

Another example is export control, export quotas, etc., all of which are made by the United States.

Ye Chen attacked America's Shield with America's Spear, and Martin couldn't justify it.

"So, the normal price that our country promises to you is not our domestic price, but the normal export price." Ye Chen is very clear that the country will not be led by the nose by the United States, and it will certainly not agree to sell it at domestic prices. U.S.

Ye Chen's words are very reasonable, and he can stand up wherever he goes. Martin has no choice but to accept this statement and ask tentatively: "Mr. Ye, how much price do you plan to sell to us?"

He was very concerned about this, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

Ye Chen stretched out five fingers with his right hand, and said, "I'll sell it to you at five times the domestic price."

"Five times? Impossible!" Martin jumped up and screamed as if a strong spring was installed under the PP.

The domestic price is five times higher, which is definitely the highest price among the high prices. It is ridiculously high, and he thinks it is unacceptable.

"What's impossible?" Ye Chen said disdainfully: "Which of the high-tech products you sell to our country from the United States is not ridiculously expensive? Not to mention anything else, the operating software is more expensive than a machine. How many people can afford it? Some practical software costs tens of thousands, which is several times that of the machine. If you install all the genuine copies and get the whole set, not to mention 100,000 rb, it will be at least 100,000 less. Is it expensive?"

Martin's mouth was opened for a long time, but nothing came out.

What Ye Chen said is also true. The United States has repeatedly accused our country of our country's weak copyright protection, and the United States has never asked how dark their high-tech companies are.

A set of operating software costs several thousand, which is not bad, and it is almost as expensive as a machine.

Drawing software is tens of thousands, and office software is a lot of money. If you use all the genuine ones, don’t even think about it without a small hundred thousand. Spending so much money on software, am I burning my hands with too much money?

I also want to use the genuine one, it’s so expensive, can I afford it?

"Besides, the planes sold by your Boeing company to our country are twice as much as those in the United States. Isn't this a high price?" Ye Chen gave another example.

This is also true. When we buy American planes, the price of one is more than the price of two domestic planes in the United States. Therefore, the profits of our country's aviation industry are compressed, and our air travel is always so expensive.

"Well, Mr. Ye, what you said makes sense, it's only twice, not five times." Martin had to admit that what Ye Chen said was true.

"What do you mean twice?" Ye Chen sneered, "Twice, that's because Airbus and Boeing are competing. Otherwise, would Boeing sell it to us at twice the price?"

Boeing has one of its biggest competitors, and that is Airbus. Our country makes use of the conflicts between these two aircraft manufacturers. If something goes wrong with Boker, we will find Airbus. There is no benefit to Airbus, so come to Boeing.

In doing so, we have indeed won certain benefits for our country. However, these are all helpless solutions, not fundamental solutions. The fundamental way is to send our own big plane into the sky.

Martin was speechless again.

With such a strong competitor as Airbus, Boeing also sells aircraft to our country at twice the high price. If there is no Airbus, then the price is hard to say. One thing is for sure, it will definitely not be twice as expensive, but much more expensive.

"I am an exclusive business. In the world, my family is the only one making photonic chips. I have no competitors, so the price is naturally higher." Ye Chen said proudly: "Isn't the United States known as a high-tech country? Is it? How can you not do it?"

The United States has always been proud of being the world's largest high-tech power, waving a big stick around the world to demand the protection of intellectual property rights. In fact, this is protecting the interests of the United States.

Martin almost turned his nose in anger. If the United States could do it, would they come to beg Ye Chen? Just because I couldn't do it, I had to put down my figure and use the military base to make deals, and wanted to buy photonic chips.

This was enough to make Martin uncomfortable, however, Ye Chen still sprinkled salt on his wounds, saying: "Let me give you a suggestion, you don't have to buy my photon chip, but research it yourself. Don't worry, you will always It will be researched one day. For this, I am very optimistic about you."

Ye Chen was smiling all over his face, and Martin saw it, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like Grandma Wolf's smile.

One day, how long is it? Ten or eight years, or twenty or thirty years, or even a hundred years?

In the high-tech field, let alone 20 or 30 years behind, even 10, 8, or even 3 to 5 years behind, the consequences will be completely different.

Our country is a clear example. In terms of lasers, our starting point is similar to that of the United States, so we are not only not behind, but more advanced.

However, in terms of missiles and nuclear weapons, we are too far behind. We have been catching up with the world's advanced level, and we have finally caught up.

If the United States does not buy Ye Chen's photonic chip, but researches it by itself, God knows how long it will take to succeed.

The United States has made relevant assessments, and believes that the United States will not have any hope of success within ten years if it concentrates its national efforts on this matter. It is precisely because of this that the United States had to pay a huge price to make a deal with China to buy photonic chips.

Although this will be controlled by others, it is better than nothing.
