Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Chapter 126 Philips’ blackmail, Teacher Xiao Zhao’s counterattack

"Mom, do you feel better?"

Zhao Guoqing didn't expect that his mother would get so motion sick along the way, and she didn't have this problem in the image either!

After drinking some water, his mother took a breath.

"It's so uncomfortable!"

"It's probably because the road is bad, so drive slower!"

Thirty or forty yards of slow bumping along the way was better, but now we had to go on the road at night.

Before Zhao Guoqing arrived home, a telegram came.

Negotiators from Philips Electric and HSBC came together by plane. People from Wison International in Hong Kong are still on the way.

Also coming with Wison International were Goldman Sachs and General Electric Lighting Semiconductor Company of the United States.

Zhao Guoqing knows these companies very well. Needless to say, HSBC and Goldman Sachs are well-established Jewish capital companies.

Philips is an old Dutch electrical company and the owner of ASML, while General Electric Lighting Semiconductor is the largest consumer electronics manufacturer in the United States.

On March 25, Zhao Guoqing returned to Lucheng.

The next day, negotiations began with Philips and HSBC in the International Hall of the Yangtze River Hotel.

Mr. Morani, President of Philips Asia, Darcy Biber, International Legal Secretary, Clark, Philips Technical Director, Stoneberg, President of HSBC Hong Kong Island Branch, Tenaway, a full-time lawyer, and an accompanying translator participated in the negotiation.

In addition to Zhao Guoqing, we also have representatives from the General Staff, the Science and Industry Commission, and state-owned assets of Hui Province, as well as translators temporarily found by the University of Science and Technology.

Darcy Bieber submitted the offer, and Zhao Guoqing almost laughed when he opened it.

He said in fluent English: "Dear Mr. Morani and Mr. Darcy Bieber, I want to ask you, for a mere US$30 million, you want to buy light-emitting semiconductors, phosphors, and full life cycle patents. Are you kidding me?"

Director Clark said: "Mr. Zhao, your English is very good, but maybe you have some misunderstandings. This light-emitting semiconductor and phosphor are really not as valuable as you think. You may not know that semiconductor technology is developing too fast. If a technology better than yours emerges, this patent will be worthless immediately. We have already taken a huge risk for 30 million US dollars!"

When the translator translated these words, Zhao Guoqing clearly felt that someone around him was restless.

Li Chunyu, the representative of the General Staff, did not expect that a patent was worth 30 million US dollars, and Clark's words were extremely inflammatory.

Clark intertwined facts and falsehoods. It is good that semiconductor technology is developing rapidly, but it is a bit conjecture to conclude that there will soon be a new technology that will replace this technology.

The resulting sense of urgency made most people hope that Zhao Guoqing would quickly agree to Philips's conditions and get the US$30 million first. If a new technology comes out tomorrow, there would really be no money left.

Clark saw the Chinese reaction very sensitively, and he thought to himself: "These Chinese people probably know nothing about the negotiations. Their expressions have betrayed them. They need this money very much!"

Seeing Clark sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Zhao Guoqing smiled and said: "Mr. Morani, you are our friend. We Chinese are not willing to let our friends suffer. I have a better way. Are you willing to listen to it?" One listen?"

Morani said: "Mr. Zhao, please speak!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "We can license the patent to you. There are two calculation methods. The light-emitting semiconductor plus the phosphor. We only need 7% of the total price of the product, or based on the area of ​​the light-emitting semiconductor, the light-emitting area per square centimeter What do you think about charging three dollars?”

Morani said: "Mr. Zhao, are you giving us exclusive authorization?"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and took out a stack of documents. These were the authorization cases of similar foreign patents specially collected by 101.

"Mr. Morach, the exclusive license is not limited to this price, and a minimum annual patent fee will be agreed. According to the volume of lighting products in the international market and the expected product sales, it may cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year!"

Morach shook his head. The homework done by 101 is now different from the Chinese people he met before. They are not completely ignorant of the international market.

Philips was obviously not interested in this proposal and dragged HSBC over. Their intention was more than that.

Although China has not joined the WTO, it enjoys most-favored-nation treatment with major developed countries and has good trade conditions.

More importantly, China's relaxed tax environment for foreign investment, coupled with the continued depreciation of China's currency exchange rate and low domestic labor costs, have suddenly made China a country with export advantages.

Zhao Guoqing concluded that Philips, as the world's largest multinational company in lighting products, would definitely want to set up a consumer lighting product factory in China, and HSBC would naturally want a piece of the pie.

Zhao Guoqing did not accept the plan proposed by Philips, and Philips had no interest in the suggestions proposed by Zhao Guoqing.

Let’s get straight to the point.

Clark said: "We will invest US$100 million to build the world's most advanced lighting electronics production line in China. Philips is willing to provide 20% of the shares as your technology investment. I wonder what this proposal is like?"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "Mr. Clark, the value of patents can be estimated through accounting. We have a third-party evaluation report. If you only invest 100 million US dollars, I hope that we will hold 42% of the shares, and it will not affect us." Authorize other companies to produce our patented products!”

Clark shrugged his shoulders. It seemed like there was nothing he could do today.

HSBC's Stoneberg never said a word throughout.

What Zhao Guoqing means is that according to international rules, we will not take advantage, and of course we will not seek losses.

"Mr. Morach, Philips is the world's largest lighting consumer electronics multinational company. I believe that light-emitting semiconductors will be best promoted in the hands of Philips. We also hope to reach cooperation with Philips.

But, you know, if not, we are very sorry. Representatives of General Electric Lighting are on the plane. They are with Goldman Sachs and are also interested in our patents. There are also Osram Lighting of Germany and Toshiba of Japan. and Panasonic have expressed their willingness to cooperate with us! "

Zhao Guoqing laid out offer documents one after another.

Obviously, for Institute 101, it is now a seller's market. No one wants the patents for light-emitting semiconductors and phosphors, but Philips is the one who is panicking.

Zhao Guoqing continued to add fuel to the fire and said: "LED light-emitting semiconductors have extraordinary light effects. Whoever has them will definitely lead the revolution in lighting in the world. What do you think? Mr. Moracci!"

call!

Moraki's face became more serious.
