70: I'm afraid it's difficult to achieve

Xu Ning's smile suddenly froze. He turned his head, looking at Xiao Jianhao in surprise, barely believing his ears. The conference room was silent, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

General Manager Zhang Jianxia was the first to recover, quickly trying to smooth things over.

"Haha, this friend is really humorous. No wonder you value him so much."

Xu Ning turned his head, forcing a few laughs, while inwardly wondering: What's wrong with Xiao Jianhao today?

Seeing this, General Manager Zhang Jianxia immediately said seriously: "I have a request. I wonder if I could talk to you alone?"

Xu Ning naturally wouldn't refuse. He also wanted to talk privately, so he nodded in agreement.

The others tactfully left the room. Wang Secretary also smiled and nodded at Xu Ning, gently closing the conference room door.

The conference room suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of their breathing clearly audible.

Outside the door, Wang Secretary's gaze turned towards Xiao Jianhao, who had just made a fool of himself.

Out of curiosity, she walked up to Xiao Jianhao. Although she was over thirty, time had not left its mark on her face. She still maintained a youthful appearance and a straight posture, which made Xiao Jianhao blush.

"Hey, why did you bark like a dog just now?" she asked, blinking her big eyes.

Xiao Jianhao lowered his head, not daring to look her directly. Having been accustomed to the military, he had never encountered such a situation.

Just as he hesitated, Tang Ziwei deliberately coughed again.

Wang Secretary continued to press: "Why aren't you talking? Is your throat uncomfortable?"

Xiao Jianhao looked up, meeting her questioning gaze. Knowing he couldn't escape, he could only helplessly imitate a few dog barks: "Woof woof woof..."

In the conference room, General Manager Zhang Jianxia looked at Xu Ning seriously and asked:

"Excuse me, was the design drawing for that mask really drawn by you personally?"

The topic finally turned to the core issue.

Xu Ning nodded in affirmation, his expression becoming solemn.

He knew that the following conversation was crucial.

After receiving a positive answer, General Manager Zhang Jianxia couldn't help but gasp, then could only sigh helplessly.

"When I saw that design drawing, I thought I had met a peerless genius."

"Therefore, even at great risk, I decided to come forward personally, wanting to invite you to our company."

"No matter the cost!"

"But after learning your identity, I knew that all of this was impossible."

"As the head of Shanhai Industry, how could you give up everything you have now and join a company like ours..."

This feeling was like he came with great joy to recruit a new member, only to find out that the other person was the real Boss...

General Manager Zhang Jianxia couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although he had a premonition that the person capable of drawing such an outstanding work must have an extraordinary background, he didn't expect it to be the Boss of Shanhai Industry.

Xu Ning smiled easily and said: "Even if I am the head of Shanhai Industry, I still have to go to great lengths to meet you."

These words made General Manager Zhang Jianxia nervous, and he quickly explained.

"Mr. Xu, please understand. Our company is currently in a special situation. To pass the foreign review, we haven't contacted any domestic company for a month."

"If you don't believe me, you can check with the Municipal Organization. Before the foreign visitors arrived, we had already notified the Shanghai Organization."

"Our actions are not targeting anyone, but are the same for all enterprises."

Xu Ning smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to stop explaining.

"Haha, I was just joking, I didn't mean anything else."

In fact, he didn't care about this matter. He just wanted to gain some initiative in the following negotiation and use it to exert pressure.

Therefore, he would stop there and not delve deeper.

Seeing that Xu Ning had no intention of pursuing the matter, General Manager Zhang Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he was so nervous that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"So, Mr. Xu, what is the purpose of your meeting with me this time?"

Finally, they got to the point.

Xu Ning cleared his throat, his gaze firm.

"I want to invest in your company."

"But you don't need to worry. I will not seek control, nor will I interfere with your development direction."

"I only have one goal, and that is to hope that there is a company that can continuously provide me with high-quality wafers and ensure stable supply."

Upon hearing this, General Manager Zhang Jianxia's expression became even more bitter.

"Mr. Xu, I'm afraid this is difficult to achieve."

Although saying this might offend Xu Ning, he had to state his position.

"We are still under Eagle Country's review. Not only is the open sentry Charles watching us, but our capital flow is also under their surveillance."

"If we accept your investment now, it is likely to invite sanctions from Eagle Country."

"At that time, even if we have money, we won't be able to buy equipment and technology, and we still won't be able to manufacture wafers."

Xu Ning nodded to show understanding: "I understand this point, so I promise that this investment will be completely cleared overseas before being injected into your account, please rest assured."

General Manager Zhang Jianxia's expression changed constantly, his heart filled with struggle. The risk of this transaction was too great. After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he still decided to refuse: "Mr. Xu, I'm afraid..."

"Ten billion."

"I am willing to invest ten billion, and I guarantee that I will never interfere in any of your affairs."

"I only have one condition: when I need wafers, I hope you can ensure the supply."

General Manager Zhang Jianxia's original words were blocked by this sentence. He knew that if he could get this fund, the help to the company would be immeasurable, but he had to remain sober, because in this field, any mistake is not allowed.

"Zhang Zong, you are worried about whether I can really handle such a large sum of money cleanly?"

Seeing the other party hesitate, Xu Ning decided to reveal his trump card: "In addition to financial support, I can also provide technical support."

"I can help you solve some technical problems, such as TSMC's technical obstacles."

Xu Ning remembered that in his previous life, Xinghui had many disputes with TSMC due to technical problems and paid a heavy price. If he could help them solve this problem, it would undoubtedly be a great attraction.

Xu Ning had always longed to change the situation in this field with his own strength. Now, he put forward this wish as a condition for exchanging shares. He believed this was a worthwhile deal.

If he could also participate in the research and development of lithography machines in the future, perhaps he could solve more problems in this field. This is a monopolized industry. Even in his previous life, Rabbit Country had been working hard to catch up with the technology of Dutch lithography machines.

If they could enter their production line, obtain data with the help of a simulator, and then change the status quo, its significance would be very great. This would be opening up a completely new field.

Even if Zhongxing Microelectronics encounters difficulties, he can rely on the data he has at hand to rebuild the factory, and even external interference cannot stop him.

As soon as these words came out, General Manager Zhang Jianxia was stunned.
