I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

With the questions from these reporters, those who had prepared tricky questions suddenly all lost their nerve.

They had seen what Zhang Menglong was capable of with his smooth talking; no matter what they asked, he could render them speechless. As long as Zhang Menglong wasn't embarrassed, they were the ones who felt awkward.

"It seems that you all mustn't have much else to ask," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "I believe the main issue you're all concerned about this time must be about imports, right?"

Upon hearing this, journalists from various countries immediately perked up, as this was their most important task for the trip.

If Zhang Menglong refused to export, they would have ample fodder to sensationalize countless reports under the guise of "monopoly," which would undoubtedly tarnish his reputation.

Pressured by the Monopoly Law and other constraints, Zhang Menglong would undoubtedly have to open exports. Even though they couldn't obtain the core technology, being able to import such high-end chips from Huaxia could at least alleviate their technological lag for a considerable time. As long as they didn't fall behind now, there would always be a chance to catch up later.

"In fact, many people believe that we in Huaxia bear grudges," Zhang Menglong said, "However, you may have underestimated us. Huaxia has always been a magnanimous nation. Whether it be our former partners or those who wish to curb our development, we treat everyone equally. We will not prohibit exports to any country!"

Zhang Menglong continued, "We'll offer two things to the entire world: one is the 2nm Crystal Chip, and the other is the finished 2nm chip products. Countries interested in importing can choose how they want to import based on their own processing technology. Of course, there is a slight difference in price between the two import methods."

There were also some industry experts present, who all nodded. There is a manufacturing process from the Crystal Chip to the chip, and many large semiconductor companies handle this manufacturing step. However, not every country has the technology to do this.

"Tomorrow, I will prepare the relevant contract signing details at Silicon Moonlight, and we welcome countries interested in collaboration to come and discuss!"

"President Zhang is so generous!"

"President Zhang is mighty!"

"President Zhang 666!"

"Have you seen the bearing of our Huaxia? Loser?"

Zhang Menglong's speech had the entire audience boiling with enthusiasm. Huaxia had now reached the pinnacle of the world in technology. The era where we had to look at others' faces to act is no more; now others need to consider our stance!

Not only that, but Huaxia's grandeur was also fully exhibited today.

You once embargoed our chips for fear that our communication technology in Huaxia would develop too quickly and surpass you.

Now, our communication technology has reached number one in the world through our own efforts, but we are still willing to export this technology worldwide. That's because we are not afraid of you surpassing us; we fear no challenges!

What kind of confidence is that? This is Huaxia's confidence!

...

The next morning, representatives from hundreds of communication and semiconductor companies from around the world gathered in the Silicon Moonlight reception hall.

Zhang Menglong's pricing was very transparent. The export price for a single 2nm Crystal wafer was 580 US Dollars, while the finished products were priced at 820 US Dollars. This was only about 10% higher than the 5nm chips, which was a very acceptable price for many manufacturers.

Silicon Moonlight's scale was already immense, but because it was still relatively new and many pieces of equipment were waiting to be produced, it would take about half a year to reach the current maximum production capacity.

Half a year later, Silicon Moonlight's single-crystal wafer manufacturing capacity had reached over 100 million pieces, and the production number of single chips had reached 1.2 billion.

In Zhang Menglong's plan, large and small subsidiaries would start to be built all over the country and around the world to surely meet the global demand for high-end chips.

One morning, hundreds of orders ferociously smashed their way toward Silicon Moonlight, with the smallest order scale reaching several hundred million US Dollars, and Tsarist Russia even smashed down a colossal order worth tens of billions of US Dollars! Just from the down payment, Zhang Menglong had already made a killing.

And after the overhaul of the technological process, Zhang Menglong had long reduced the cost to an unimaginably low level.

The cost price of a 5nm chip was about 418 US Dollars, with the selling price around 740 US Dollars, but Zhang Menglong's export price stood at 820 US Dollars, with a cost of less than 100 US Dollars!

Others thought that Zhang Menglong's pricing would hardly make him any money, but in fact, he was making a killing! That's the power of technology!

"What? Why is our import price so high?"

The representatives from Qualcomm Electronics were dumbfounded when they received the export contract; on the contract, the price per single chip wafer exceeded 1600 US Dollars, and the finished chip price exceeded 3200 US Dollars! That was four times the import price of other countries!

If they imported at that price, they would surely go bankrupt!

Not only that, but while the delivery dates for other countries generally ranged from half a year to one year, their delivery date was set for three years later!

Three years later, they might already be able to mass-produce 2nm chips themselves; why would they need Silicon Moonlight's chips then?

The representatives from Qualcomm Electronics turned around and found quite a few people holding contracts similar to theirs; these people all shared one common feature—they had once implemented chip blockades against Huaxia.

"Call your head over here, we want to protest!" the group immediately voiced their protest to the business department of Silicon Moonlight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Minister of Commerce; may I know what your problem is?" A middle-aged woman dressed in professional attire arrived at the contract-signing location.

"Is there a problem with your contracts? Why is our price four times higher than that of other countries?"

"Oh, I apologize, that was our oversight," the woman said, "Please draft a new contract immediately!"

"That's more like it!" The representatives from Qualcomm Electronics and other countries showed a satisfied expression instantly.

However, the instant they received the new contract, their expressions turned as if they had eaten shit, because the price had been revised from four times to eight times higher!

"I am sorry, but our boss's order was to double the import price for you, I don't know which staff member mistakenly changed it to a super multiplier; I apologize to everyone here."

"You..." The representatives were so angry they couldn't even speak, "And why do we have to wait three years for the delivery time?"

"There's nothing that can be done about that," the woman said helplessly, "Business is so good right now, and we can't keep up with the demand. Of course, we have to adhere to a first-come-first-served policy. Since none of you have signed the contract yet, doesn't it make sense that your shipments would be the last? I think that's very fair!"

Hearing this explanation, they finally understood—all the talk of grace and generosity, every word from Zhang Menglong, was nonsense; he simply couldn't let them off that easily, these once benefactors!

Zhang Menglong was clearly planning to dupe them once more—this man from Huaxia, really deviously good!
