For Huang Qi, the purpose of asking Gao Wenxiong to reimburse the expenses is not the small money itself. He just wants to send a signal to the other party before this negotiation:

We are the party that takes the initiative, and you are the service providers of this cooperation.

Once the other party accepts this setting, in the subsequent negotiations, they have to follow their own rhythm and the initiative can be established smoothly.

The development of things was almost exactly the same as he expected. Under the strong pressure of Spark Factory, or the entire Chinese semiconductor industry, Gao Wenxiong maintained a low attitude almost throughout the subsequent meeting. Although he failed to achieve constructive results in this meeting, in any case, this was a good start.

What is more iconic is that after meeting Gao Wenxiong, TSMC arranged new special cars and drivers, which means that the other party seemed to be struggling to eliminate the influence from the upper class.

Huang Qi immediately reported the situation to his superiors. From their perspective, this was the first flaw that the other party had.

As soon as a crack appears, the separation between capital and the upper layer will want to develop rapidly at an uncontrollable rate.

What China needs to do is to further aggravate such a separation through certain means.

For example, the loss of a large order; for example, the delay of equipment that should have been delivered; for example, the impact is not so big, but it will make people think a lot of betrayal...

.........

Ugly Country, California, Cupertino City.

In a small cafe on the street, two men of different skin colors were sitting leisurely opposite each other, enjoying the carefully brewed coffee in the cup.

One of the men had a typical white face, with a slightly white hair, and fine wrinkles on his forehead and eyes. The Asian man opposite him was young, with smooth skin and thick hair.

After drinking the last sip of coffee, the Asian man named Huang put down the cup in his hand and said with a smile:

"Mr. Coors, it's true that the coffee in this cafe is great. But to be honest, as the most Chinese, I prefer to drink tea. Maybe next time I meet, I should bring a set of tea sets to show you the tea culture of China."

Coors on the opposite side also smiled back and then replied:

"It's a good idea, but you probably need a tea-making assistant. Actually, I've heard rumors about you from other colleagues, who say you promised to show them the tea art every time, but in the end it was just grabbing a handful of tea leaves and throwing it into a cup and rinsing it with hot water."

"This is not even as good as Lipton's instant tea bag? You Chinese people have a saying that "squandering resources", which is perfect for you."

"Hahahahaha, maybe that's the case, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can drink good tea, it's a success, isn't it?"

Huang Wei obviously heard the sharpness hidden in the other party's words, but he did not show any anger at all, but responded lightly with the other party's words.

If you say that technology is a waste of resources in my hands, then I will tell you that as long as I can create something, it is not a waste.

A seemingly peaceful exchange actually had murderous intent from the beginning, but both sides were used to it.

Hearing Huang Wei's answer, Coors shook his head gently and said:

"That's not necessarily true. Just like our coffee, even if the raw materials are completely consistent, brewed in freshly ground or instantly dissolved, the flavor it shows is also different."

"I am a person who pursues perfection, so I only drink freshly ground coffee - this is probably a kind of persistence in the quality of life? Of course, in many other aspects, I have the same attitude."

"Yes, yes, this is a very good attitude. But I think, in this world, besides freshly ground coffee and instant coffee, there may be other ways to brew coffee? For example... distillation?"

Coors gently turned the quilt in his hand, and the last sip of coffee remained in the cup, but he did not finish it like Huang Yi.

"Distillation may be a good way, but you also know that people like me are already very insensitive to change at this age."

“I don’t have that much energy to try new things because that means I’m likely going to have a cup of coffee I don’t like, which will ruin my mood all day.”

“Instead of this, why don’t I choose the cafe I like, the barista I like?”

"Or, is this cafe going to go bankrupt? Or is the barista going to get sick in the near future?"

Hearing his words, Huang Wei put away his calm and meaningless expression on his face and replied seriously:

"You know, this isn't our choice. We are a group of peace-loving people, and we will never fry someone else's cafe to promote our distilled coffee."

"But we might propose a condition that coffee lovers cannot refuse."

"Oh? What about?"

Huang Wei took out a stack of documents from his briefcase next to him, pushed it to Coors and spoke:

"For example, you also know that in addition to opening coffee shops and providing coffee technology, we also sell coffee to customers ourselves - this is the same as what you do."

"We are also a competitor - it can even be said that the coffee we made through distillation technology is not bad in the market."

"The market share of your freshly ground coffee has become lower and lower. If this continues, it is likely to be completely replaced by distilled coffee."

"This is probably not the result you want, right?"

Coors opened the document that Huang Wei handed over. After seeing the contents clearly, his expression instantly became solemn.

"Is this the new model you are about to release?"

At this moment, he no longer had the energy to play puzzles with Huang Wei anymore, because the information on the file made him feel a huge crisis.

The unprecedented powerful performance is almost like a bucket, coupled with the ultra-low pricing that breaks through the limits of his imagination... If this machine is released without any preparation, it will cause a devastating blow to its own spring market in the terminal field.

But now the other party actually revealed this information to him directly?

what does that mean?

He looked up at Huang Wei, who smiled and replied:

"Yes, this is our new model."

"Mr. Coors, you probably have already thought that the reason why I dare to disclose this model to you directly is because we have absolute confidence that you cannot achieve the same performance at the same cost."

"On this model, competition for positioning does not exist--it is a killer model, just like the iPhone 4 you released before."

"In addition, I can also tell you that this model will also integrate a new technology module that has never appeared before. This module will completely change the entire personal terminal ecosystem. In front of it, you will not have any chance."

After hearing Huang Wei's words, Coors frowned and asked:

"So, you mean, will you trade the technology of this product for our order?"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Coors, you're so humorous."

"Technology exchange orders? What kind of fantasy pie is this? Do you think we're that stupid?"

"We will indeed sell part of the interests like you, but this interest will inevitably not be our core competitiveness."

After a moment of pause, Huang Wei continued:

“To be precise, we want to give you a chance.”

“What opportunity?”

Coors' voice became low, his whole body was already tensing unconsciously, and his arms were also held in front of his chest, posing in a defensive posture.

"A chance to survive."

Coors' mouth curled up a sarcastic curve and then asked:

"You mean, do you think we'll die after your product is released?"

"You probably underestimate our strength and overestimate yourself."

Huang Wei shook his head and replied:

"No, of course it's not up to this product--we are not that naive."

"But, I can also tell you that at this point, we can definitely do it."

"Or, do you need me to demonstrate it to you?"

"How do you want to demonstrate?"

Coors asked alertly.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you-----Believe me, you won't want to see, because once some things start, it's almost impossible to stop. Can you understand what I mean?"

After Huang Wei said that, the two people in the cafe fell into a long silence.

Coors looked straight into the other person's eyes, trying to find clues about hesitation, guilt or retreat, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

This is a bet, with only one "gourd" in your hand, while the other party holds countless trump cards in his hand.

Want to bet on those trump cards that don’t have four or no flush?

Coors suddenly felt that he didn't dare to gamble.

If you surrender, you will lose half of it, but if you insist on opening the opponent's trump card, you will likely lose everything.

It's just a replacement for suppliers...

This is not a big strategic adjustment for our side and will not cause too much loss to the supply chain. What's more, from an objective perspective, the other party's technology is enough to support our supply chain.

In this game, if you choose to cooperate, then the one who is injured is actually just a company on the island that has nothing to do with you.

After a long time, Coors finally spoke.

"I will consider your suggestions, but you need to know that this is definitely not something I can decide with my company. What we need is higher-level advice..."

"You can rest assured about this."

Huang Yi-Yu interrupted him and continued:
