Chapter 132: Large-scale negotiations

On the third day of the fair, many consumers came to Berlin to watch the consumer electronics exhibition. At this time, negotiations between major enterprises also began at the same time.

There are many companies that want to negotiate with Heiyun Group, after all, game consoles, razors and Vision 1100 laptops are very attractive products, and many companies want to get some parts or overall patent authorization.

Heiyun Group also wants to obtain the authorization of certain technologies and patents, and it is in this environment that negotiations are launched. There were too many companies negotiating with Heiyun this time, and Heiyun was divided into four negotiation teams.

Junhei Yokoi is responsible for negotiating with some game development companies how to integrate games into the Gameboy handheld game console platform, so as to make the Gameboy game system more colorful. There are more games to choose from, and game development companies also want to redevelop games that have been removed from the arcade shelves. It's a win-win thing.

Ma Chenglong is mainly responsible for negotiating with other companies in the field of household appliances, which are still too weak at present. You have to lose the interests of some other subsidiaries and develop home appliance companies, otherwise why should these home appliance giants sell you technology and license patents to you.

Hiroshi Hashimoto is now negotiating with other companies on behalf of the computer company, and the black cloud is relatively strong in this regard. However, because the titanium alloy is too bluffing, other companies think that it is difficult for other materials other than titanium alloy to achieve the effect of Heiyun Vision 1100, and they do not have the strength of Heiyun Company to do business with the Soviet Union.

Warsaw Pact enterprises can indeed get titanium alloys, but they can't get Intel 8086 chips, and they still can't produce laptops. Now the Batumi organization has warned that the Black Cloud Group can only export a certain amount of Vision 1100 to the Warsaw Pact countries every year, and directly set the Vision 1100 laptop as a third-class controlled substance, the kind that can be exported in small quantities every year.

It is impossible for Intel to export chips directly to the Warsaw Pact countries, and the Black Cloud Vision 1100 laptop has to remove the chips before it can be used for military purposes; ordinary people are reluctant. Intel 8086 chips can be directly installed on missiles without changing anything.

Bao Zixuan didn't want to participate in business negotiations anymore since the last reflection, but there were a few people he had to face personally.

After Bao Zixun dug Miyamoto hat and Yokoi Junpei into the black cloud, Nintendo's current life is very difficult. It stands to reason that now is the time when their Donkey Kong sales are the hottest, but the Black Cloud Group has brought Miyamoto hats to Xiangjiang, and Donkey Kong in this era is Black Cloud's gold-absorbing weapon. Relying on his own research and development of game consoles, he lacked the technical master of Yokoi Junhei, so he could only retreat and cooperate with Sony.

It is in this context that Sony wants to obtain the patent authorization of the D-pad, after all, the game console jointly developed by them and Nintendo has been established for a long time, and it would be pointless to use the steering stick like the Atari 2600 without the D-pad. The Gameboy handheld console they got from the reporter has been tested by engineers over and over again, and when it comes to small consoles, the D-pad does have an overwhelming advantage.

Akio Morita knew that Bao Zixuan, a young man, was prone to impulsiveness, so he still asked to meet with Bao Zixuan alone. In the name of secrecy, it is said that it needs to be confidential.

Bao Zixuan didn't think too much about it, after all, all the executives of the entire Black Cloud Company who came to Berlin were now negotiating with other companies. There is no one to cooperate with him at all, and since Akio Morita wants to talk alone, let's see what tricks he plays.

Bao Zixuan: "How did Mr. Sheng Tian think about it this time, can that lithography machine technology authorize the black cloud!"

Akio Morita didn't expect this kid to want a lithography machine as soon as he came up, in fact, last time Bao Zixuan proposed to use lithography machine technology to license the exchange of cross key patents Sony held an internal meeting to discuss it. And Nintendo's personnel also participated, that is, to pass on to Nintendo people a patent license that we Sony wants to exchange the most core technology for the cross key. You Nintendo also have to pay the price.

In the 21st century, it is impossible to exchange the cross key for lithography machine technology authorization, but now everyone does not pay much attention to lithography machine technology, and Sony lithography machine is also in its infancy. There are almost no advantages in the market.

It is not impossible to license the technology patent to the black cloud, but it is far from enough to rely on this cross key. Black Cloud has to come up with something else or cash to compensate for the difference.

Akio Morita: "There was some disagreement within our Sony discussions, but I think I could convince the board. But it's not enough to change our lithography machine technology with just one D-pad, and Sony has invested heavily in this area to develop. ”

Bao Zixuan was very excited to hear that it was really feasible, this is an opportunity that can be advanced by 40 years, and there will be no such store in this village after that.

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Morita, we don't have much time to waste here, if Heiyun wants to get the lithography machine technology licensed, what does Sony need." ”

Bao Zixuan made a mistake again, the more anxious he was, the greater Akio Morita's appetite grew. It's no longer a simple way to satisfy him.

Akio Morita: "We want full authorization for the D-pads, razor, laptop, and $20 million in cash compensation. ”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan wanted to agree, after all, with lithography machines and large CNC machine tools, it would be difficult for developed countries to sanction China in the future, both of which are industrial pearls and weapons to revitalize the country.

But after thinking about it, this old guy Akio Morita is sitting on the ground and raising the price, and the lion is opening his mouth! Now any patent authorization can catch up with the profit of the lithography machine. Isn't this a mockery of not knowing how to count!

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Morita is a bit excessive, I just want lithography machine technology, you can't cheat me like this! If Sony doesn't buy it, I can go to other manufacturers to buy it." ”

"RB companies don't buy me, I can also go to the Netherlands, the United States, Germany, France, these countries are a good choice, it's really not too difficult for me to spend my own money on research and development, you still say a mutually acceptable condition!"

In fact, Akio Morita is indeed sitting on the ground and starting the price, this era of lithography machine still belongs to the era of a hundred schools of thought, no one can dominate the rivers and lakes, and the conditions he proposed are more of a temptation. Sony has invested less than $100 million in the field of lithography machines, which is not as crazy as the $120 million cost of a machine in later generations.

Akio Morita: "There is also a $10 million cash compensation for the licensing of the cross key and laptop patents. ”

Bao Zixuan: "You and I are not the ones who are short of this $10 million, I know you have to explain to the board." I can accept it, but in installments. The payment will be completed within a year, and you don't know that I am still under a lot of financial pressure to build a factory now. ”

Akio Morita didn't expect this young man to agree, he originally wanted to talk about it for a while! It seems that he is still comfortable negotiating with the young man, and he is very happy when he can't hold his breath.

Akio Morita: "I still believe in the credibility of your black clouds, no problem." You can use the machine to offset the bill, the small machine tools you produce are still very useful, and Sony will buy a batch in the near future. ”

Akio Morita believes that this patent technology swap will bring Sony a profit of $1 billion, and he is not wrong in his prediction. The patent swap brought Sony more than $1 billion in profits. He once became the most discerning entrepreneur in RB and was praised by many people.

However, when the chip technology and industrial requirements of later generations are getting higher and higher, many RB companies want to import chips from Heiyun Group. Akio Morita was almost sprayed to death, and many RB people saw it as a bigger mistake and threat than Toshiba's sale of CNC machine tools to the Soviets. The damage inflicted on the RB is even greater and cannot even be measured in monetary terms.

Bao Zixuan was very happy in his heart, and he solved the large-scale CNC machine tool and lithography machine in one year, that is, in this era, if the Soviet Union collapsed, it would be something that he would not dare to think of. The next step is to continue to invest in the improvement of lithography machine technology.
