Chapter 639: The competition begins

In Xu Ping'an's office, a video conference is underway, and through video, Wu Sikai and Bruce both appear on the screen, this is because Xu Ping'an asked about patents.

"According to you, the global patent will be approved in about three months, right?" asked Xu Ping'an.

"Here's the situation on my side," Bruce said directly.

"It's faster on my side, and it will be approved in about two months," Wu Sikai said on the side.

Xu Ping'an nodded, thought for a while and said, "Bruce, work hard, go to Darion's side and personally review the patent situation of split power."

"The stakes are too high for mechanical mounts to be careless."

"I'll fly directly to Italy tomorrow and personally review all the patent applications of the Institute of Mechanical Research," Bruce said directly, Xu Ping'an nodded and felt a lot more relieved.

"Boss, Yarman called me several times to ask about the mechanical mount, to ask if we planned to produce it ourselves or if we were going to do it ourselves."

"The answer I gave him was that I didn't know," Bruce said with a helpless look on his face.

Xu Ping'an smiled and understood Yarman's mood, "Bruce, what do you think, do you think it's better for us to produce it directly, or to authorize it."

"Boss, I've really thought about this question, but unfortunately there is no answer, and if it's possible, I'm definitely not willing to share it with anyone"

"But now the international situation is difficult to figure out, and if the authorization is out, although the profit will be reduced a little, it can get some other benefits," Bruce said, which can be regarded as expressing his opinion.

Xu Ping'an nodded, knowing what Bruce meant, smiled and diverted the topic, and the three of them chatted for a while before ending the call.

After drinking tea for a while, a person has an idea in his heart, and at present, he must do this to deepen his foundation and prepare for the follow-up.

"Stars, let Darina come over," he said into the air.

"Good Commander" artificial intelligence electronic voice appears.

After a short time, Darina pushed the door in, and Xu Ping'an said directly, "You make a record."

Darina took out her little notebook and pen and prepared to take notes.

"Send an invitation to invite the CEOs of the three domestic FAW, SAIC, and Jihao automobile groups to come to Hangzhou to meet in a week."

"GM of the United States, Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW, Fiat of Italy, Logo of France, and Toyota of Japan, the chairmen of these companies secretly came to Hangzhou to meet a week later."

"Whoever leaks the itinerary will be disqualified from the invitation"

"Let's go," Xu Ping'an said and waved his hand, and Darina turned around and went out.

I didn't ask Xu Ping'an what he was doing when he invited the chairmen of these large groups over, what is the hottest topic now, it is the mechanical mount, which is something that can be figured out with his toes.

Xu Ping'an plans to license the patent for the mechanical mount and not produce it himself.

Everything is to increase its influence in the world, and if it weren't for the fact that the EU had resisted the pressure of the United States in considering that the sanctions against the Apocalypse Group would cause a lot of turmoil, Xu Ping'an's life would definitely not be easy now.

Xu Ping'an knows very well in his heart that the EU will definitely support the United States when necessary, and what he needs to do now is to increase the cost of the European Union leaning towards the United States.

Adding weight to the other end of the scale is the only way to make the EU more reluctant and create a more relaxed environment for the Apocalypse Group in the international arena.

If you are willing to give up, you can only get if you give up, and you must have great wisdom and perseverance to give up your interests.

It didn't take long for Darina to send out the official invitation, and as time went on, basically the chairmen of these companies received them.

Many people gave a long sip, although the invitation letter did not explain what it was, but these people knew in their hearts that Xu Ping'an had a plan to authorize the mechanical mount, but they didn't know who else would be invited.

With Xu Ping'an's temperament, he will definitely not invite all of them, but select some objects for cooperation.

At the same time, even if he is invited, with Xu Ping'an's greed, he will definitely not give authorization easily, and if he doesn't slaughter a sum, he won't be the Xu Ping'an he knows.

I had to go, and immediately started to convene the board of directors, showing the invitation letter issued by the Apocalypse Group, and the people on the board of directors breathed a long sigh of relief and unanimously passed it, giving the chairman the greatest authorization.

In any case, it is necessary to obtain the authorization of the mechanical mount, and at the same time, if possible, try to persuade the Apocalypse Group to reduce the number of authorized places.

Xu Ping'an hung up the phone with a smile on his face, and just talked to Ji Xueyi on the phone, and told him about sending an invitation letter to the top ten automobile groups.

Ji Xueyi knew very well what she should do and maximize her interests, this was the request given by Xu Ping'an, Ji Xueyi pouted and hung up the phone.

Immediately started a video conference with Yoko Watanabe and Yao Xingsheng, but a lot of funds have been gathered, and now it is finally time to start arranging.

Mobilizing a large amount of funds coupled with financial leverage, they began to sweep the circulating shares of these enterprises, quietly dripping, and not shooting.

This kind of thing can be hidden from ordinary people, but it can't be hidden from the bigwigs of various countries, and many people have given a long sip, but Mi Guo is disappointed.

The bigwigs really hope that Xu Ping'an will eat alone, so that he can unite with other countries to slaughter the Apocalypse Group once, then they know that Xu Ping'an has this kind of courage and plans to be stillborn.

The German bigwigs are relaxed, the three major domestic groups have been invited, Italy is also satisfied, Fiat is the largest car group in the country, as long as Fiat is not there, everything is not a problem.

France is also satisfied, the logo car group is the third largest car group in Europe, but also a pillar industry in France, if it can produce mechanical mounts, it is a good for all aspects.

The Celestial Empire boss is absolutely satisfied, and the three domestic companies will usher in new brilliance, starting from hydrogen energy vehicles, and the export volume of domestic automobile groups is skyrocketing.

The development of the enterprise has really reached a new level, and the company's own profits, profits, and production scale have all achieved substantial growth.

With such a large growth, it is nothing to reduce some taxes and fees for the Apocalypse Group, because the wealth created by the Apocalypse Group indirectly is even greater.

Time passed slowly, the ten chairmen also made an appointment to Hangzhou, rested for a day, and the next day, Xu Ping'an sent a car to take the ten bigwigs to the science and technology park for negotiation.

In the conference room, everyone got a document in their hands, and they were all written in their native language, so they could easily read and understand.

Besides, there is also the latest generation of translators, so there is no problem with face-to-face communication.

After reading it, everyone didn't have a smile on their faces, and looked at Xu Ping'an, who really deserved to be Xu Ping'an, greedy enough.

"Xu, the licensing signing fee is one billion euros, the patent fee is one billion euros per year, the implementation is three years, and the annual fee is 500 million euros after three years, do you really think our company can afford it?" said Cao Puyang, chairman of Jihao Group, with a solemn face.

"I think it's okay," Xu Ping'an said with a calm face.

Cassidia, chairman of the Daimler Group, smiled on the side and said directly, "Xu, I have no opinion on the cost, accept it, it's just that there is no need for this unified quality standard to exist."

"Our standards at Daimler are higher than those of other companies."

Many people's faces are dark, and they understand in their hearts that the competition has begun, and the Celestial Empire enterprises will withdraw directly if they can't accept it, and one less competitor will have more profits.

"It's not too expensive, it's fair, I accept the standard, we're willing to accept the contract, the mechanical mounts will be produced under the Ferrari name," Winchester, chairman of the Fiat Group, laughed.

GM's Xiusi also smiled on the side, already understanding the meaning of these two, and then said, "We GM also accept this contract, and we will purchase steel from Tianqi Steel Group according to the agreement."

Zhang Zhongxing, chairman of SAIC, frowned and said, "Mr. Xu, can you know how much it costs to produce a mechanical mount?"

Others are also starting to get serious, competition is competition, these key questions must be asked clearly.

"Yes"

"The cost of a mechanical mount is 34,000 euros, which is the cost excluding tax, don't you feel shocked," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

Everyone's faces are really shocked expressions, the cost is really not high, the operability is really too big, and many people's brains began to spin quickly.

"Gentlemen, the success of the mechanical mounts of the Apocalypse Group is due to a special power system, the split power system"

"This power system can be applied not only to mechanical mounts, but also to cars, if the drive shaft is eliminated and this split power system is adopted."

"If the power of the car increases by about 8 percent, the energy consumption will decrease by about 8 percent"

"Eight percent is the minimum standard, if you want to improve, it depends on the design strength of your own company"

"This time, the mechanical mount license fee does not include the split powertrain license, and the mechanical mount and the use of the car need to be authorized separately"

"To produce this kind of power system, you need to pay a contract fee of 500 million euros, a patent royalty of 300 million euros per year, and implement it for 20 years," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

While many people were shocked on their faces, they secretly despised Xu Ping'an in their hearts, Xu Ping'an's greed for money had risen to the level of art, it was too dark.

"By the way, the cost I just talked about includes the cost of the split power system, how about it, I'm generous enough," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

Many people smiled bitterly, generous enough, are you black enough, we signed a contract with you, and you can get a net profit of 8 billion euros a year without doing anything.

Production, sales, advertising, and other expenses add up, and it is not certain whether we can earn so much in a year of exhaustion.

It is impossible for everyone to have no complaints in their hearts, but now that they are checking and balancing each other, the right to choose is really not big.

"Gentlemen, this time the opportunity is equal, how to play is up to you, the unified standard system is very beneficial to you to negotiate with the accessories supplier, how to do it I don't need to say more"

"You can improve this standard to meet your brand needs and, of course, bring you good profits."

"I will arrange a special person to buy in the global market from time to time for spot checks, if it is lower than this standard, sorry, cancel the patent authorization"

"My Tianqi Group's brand can't be damaged," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

This time, Xiusi couldn't help it a little, and wanted to give Xu Ping'an a fist, what the hell do you really think we don't know, play with standards, so as to blackmail other companies.

It's the fuck we're playing the rest of the tricks, and now it's on our heads, what the hell am I ........... Bear with you.

Xius really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was very unhappy.

"We can agree to the standard, but the protection period of the ten authorized companies is not three years, at least ten years," said Masahiro Mashika, chairman of the Toyota Group, with a serious face.
