Liu Dawei led a group of people and took the initiative to discuss the air fryer patent fee. Li Weidong felt happy, but deliberately put on a solemn look on his face.

Just listen to Liu Dawei say: "Director Li, regarding the transaction of patent licensing fees, it should be regarded as a commercial behavior between enterprises. Normally, our ministries and commissions should not interfere with business operations. But, this time,

It's indeed something special.

Our staff at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation have always paid attention to the sales of export products abroad. According to our survey results, the sales of air fryers in European and American countries have been very good in the past six months, especially during Thanksgiving in the United States.

During the Christmas period, sales increased significantly.

According to the judgment of foreign trade experts in the ministry, with the popularity of air fryers in European and American countries, this will be a huge market. We estimate that the sales volume of air fryers at this Canton Fair may reach four to five million pieces.

!Almost three times that of the last Canton Fair.

It is also for this reason that we hope that the Southeast Company in Hong Kong Island can lower the price of patent fees, which can also enhance the product competitiveness of our domestic manufacturers. For Southeast Company, although the patent fees have been reduced, they can make more profits through small profits.

To obtain the same profit through sales, you should not lose money, and you can even make more. This is a win-win situation."

"What the leader said makes sense." Li Weidong nodded, and then said deliberately; "I will immediately convey the leader's instructions to Southeast Company. Director Ma, please lend me the international long-distance phone in your room.

.”

"Director Li, you are doing something unnecessary!" Liu Dawei suddenly laughed, and he continued, "I think you should be able to make the final decision on reducing patent fees."

Li Weidong was slightly startled and looked at Liu Dawei with some confusion. Liu Dawei smiled and said: "Director Li, although this Southeast Company is registered in Hong Kong Island, you should be the company's major shareholder, right?"

In an instant, Li Weidong understood what was going on.

"It seems that the foreign trade department has sent people to investigate the situation of Southeast Company. Even if the investigation is not very clear, they should have a rough idea!"

At the last Canton Fair, a southeastern company suddenly appeared and took away millions of dollars in patent fees. How could the foreign trade department not be at all vigilant and not investigate!

With the power of the state, it is very easy to investigate the situation of a company, not to mention that it is on Hong Kong Island, so it is even more effortless.

From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the state's review of foreign investment was still relatively strict. When foreign investors wanted to invest in China, they must check the background of the foreign investment. Overseas Chinese also had to check the three generations of their ancestors.

It is said that a leather company was registered overseas and packaged as a foreign investment to return to China to engage in a joint venture. Would the relevant state agencies really know about it? Do you really think that the state would not conduct an investigation before approving the joint venture?

In fact, people know everything in their hearts, but they just pretend not to know for the sake of foreign exchange.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he said: "Boss, I do hold some shares in this Southeast Company. After all, I developed this air fryer, and the patent is also mine.

Using your own knowledge to make money legally doesn’t violate the policy, right?”

"No violation, no violation!" Liu Dawei smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "Besides, you are making money in Hong Kong Island, and if you want to manage it, Hong Kong Island will manage it, but I still have to talk to you about the patent fee.

.”

Li Weidong nodded: "Leader, let me make a statement first. I support the reduction of patent fees with both hands. As you just said, this involves the competitiveness of our country's products. For the sake of the country

It’s not a big deal if I sacrifice some personal interests for the overall interests of the country.

Therefore, as long as the patent fee for this air fryer does not drop too much, I can decide directly. But if it drops too much, I will have to discuss it with the people on Hong Kong Island. After all, Southeast Company has other companies.

Shareholders, I also have to take into account the opinions of other shareholders!"

"I can understand this. I came to see you today because I wanted to reach a preliminary consensus first! As for how much the patent fee should be reduced, after all, it is a commercial matter. In principle, it is still up to your companies to negotiate among themselves. Our ministries and commissions

I just want to connect you and build a bridge." Liu Dawei said.

"Okay, since the leader said so, I won't hold back!" Li Weidong looked directly at Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo behind him, and asked: "Director Cai, Director Jiang, what do you think about this patent fee?

How low should it go?"

Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo looked at each other, and finally Jiang Aiguo said: "Director Li, the patent fee of 20 US dollars is definitely too high. You also said before that the patent fee usually accounts for 5% of the product cost.

% to 10%. Now we can sell an air fryer for US$150. If we calculate it based on 10%, I think the patent fee of US$15 is more appropriate.”

"With 150 US dollars, plus 15 US dollars in patent fees, your air fryer will cost 165 US dollars!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

After everyone heard this, their hearts tightened. According to Li Weidong's tone, it seemed that he planned to collect the patent fee at the price of 165 US dollars, which was 16.5 US dollars.

Just listen to Li Weidong continue to say: "So, I think the patent fee of 15 US dollars is definitely not enough, I will not agree!"

"Ahem!" Liu Dawei coughed dryly and said, "Director Li, I shouldn't have intervened in this kind of business negotiation, but the patent fee of 15 US dollars is already quite high. And the amount of foreign purchases this time must be huge.

, if you lower the patent fee a little bit, you can still make small profits but quick turnover!"

Li Weidong chuckled: "My realization is that since the leaders of the ministries and commissions have personally come to me to discuss the patent fees, if I only get $5 cheaper, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to the ministries and commissions! Don't you think so?"

"Director Li, can your consciousness drop further?" Liu Dawei's eyes lit up.

Li Weidong nodded: "I think the patent fee of US$15 is still too high, and US$10 is more appropriate. In this way, the price of air fryers produced by our domestic manufacturers should be reduced to US$150 to US$160.

It should be more competitive in the international market.”

"10 US dollars?" Liu Dawei was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears.

He even took the initiative to lower the price by another $5. Is this still the same "black-hearted businessman" Li Weidong!

If you ask if something worth 20 yuan will sell for 15 yuan, they will say 15 yuan will not sell it, but 10 yuan will sell it quickly! Will such a good thing happen these days?

Cai Jinjin and Jiang Aiguo looked at each other, and then saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Is Li Weidong so easy to talk to? Is there any conspiracy behind the price reduction so quickly? Has he dug a trap again and is waiting for me to jump in? Or have I already fallen? I can't be fooled.

ah!"

Thinking of this, Cai Qianjin felt a little guilty, and he said: "Director Li, in fact, you have made a big concession for the price of 15 US dollars, and we can accept it. As for the 10 US dollars, we really don't

Dare to hope!"

"Yes, yes, 15 US dollars is pretty good." Jiang Aiguo said from the sidelines.

Liu Dawei was stunned again, and once again he felt that he had heard wrongly. At this time, Liu Dawei wanted to pinch himself, was he dreaming?

"What's going on? I asked you if I would sell something for 20 yuan if it cost 15 yuan. You said not for 15 yuan, but sell it for 10 yuan! I won't buy it unless it costs 10 yuan, but I will buy it for 15 yuan!

How come such strange things happen these days? When selling things, they think they are making too much, so they try to lower their prices; when buying things, they think they are spending too little money, so they try to increase their prices!"

Just listen to Li Weidong say: "The patent fee of 15 US dollars is too high. It is a burden to domestic manufacturers and also weakens the competitiveness of domestic manufacturers!"

"For $10, Director Li's sacrifice would be too great. How can we be so complacent?" Cai Qianjin said immediately.

Li Weidong said: "It doesn't matter if I sacrifice a little personally, the key is that it is beneficial to the country's export earnings..."

Cai Jinjin shook his head: "Director Li, the air fryer you invented has achieved a breakthrough for our country's export of household appliances. You are a great hero of the country. How can we let the hero suffer anymore!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Dawei seemed to remember the battle at the Northeast Petroleum Conference.

At that time, supplies were very scarce, and there was not even enough food to eat. The comrades participating in the oil battle were also like this. Even though everyone was very hungry, they would give in for half a piece of corn.

Basically, it's the kind of "comrade, you eat first, I'm not hungry yet", "No, comrade, I already ate yesterday, you should eat it", "Xiao Wang, when you are still young and growing,

Touching scenes such as "Eat more, Lao Zhang, I'm strong, I'll be fine if I skip one meal"!

Thinking about the hard days back then, and then looking at the beautiful life today, Liu Dawei's heart felt sour, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"It's really unexpected that today's young comrades are still so humble to each other and still have such traditional virtues. They are really a bit like me back then!" Liu Dawei sighed in his heart.

Just when Liu Dawei was still thinking about the bitterness and sweetness, Li Weidong and Cai Qianjin no longer continued to be polite, only to hear Cai Qianjin say: "Director Li, let's not talk secretly. If you have any additional conditions, you should just go directly."

Say it!"

"Director Cai is really quick to talk, so I won't hide it. The $10 patent fee must have some additional conditions!" Li Weidong replied.

Liu Dawei suddenly woke up from remembering the bitterness and sweetness. He looked at Cai Qianjin and then at Li Weidong, suddenly feeling aggrieved.

"What's the situation? Isn't it humility to each other? Isn't it a traditional virtue? Isn't it a wowotou that everyone is reluctant to eat? Why do you start negotiating terms? This style of painting has changed too fast!"
