The next day, more than a dozen companies that have obtained carbon and aluminum battery patents have issued statements that they will recycle and replace the batteries of shipping ships for free, and protect the environment from me, carbon and aluminum batteries can be completely harmlessly recycled.

Many media have also published copies of patent authorizations, and facts have proved that Tianqi Group does implement free authorization for carbon and aluminum battery recycling technology, and they have given praise to Tianqi Group.

Dr. Hickmann, who was far away in Dresden, was admitted to the intensive care unit, too old to run out of gas, and his consciousness had begun to become confused.

Friends who received the news immediately rushed to Dresden, hoping to get a definite news from their old friends, and many media also got the news and rushed to Dresden.

As a result, everyone was disappointed, Dr. Hickman, who was in the intensive care unit, could no longer speak, and after a day of perseverance, he passed away, and after the news spread, everyone was embarrassed.

There is no proof of death, the only thing that can be proved is that Xu Ping'an really had a drink with Dr. Hickman on the other side of the square, which has been confirmed by Mrs. Hickman.

Xu Ping'an got the news, first froze for a moment, and then called Barry to ask about the date of the memorial service, Xu Ping'an wanted to go over in person to attend, and at the same time ask for the opinions of the family.

A day later, Barry called Xu Ping'an, and Mrs. Hickman agreed that Xu Ping'an would attend the memorial service, recognizing Xu Ping'an's belief in Dr. Hickman's judgment.

The memorial service will be held three days later, three hours, and the funeral will be directly after the meeting, Xu Ping'an immediately arranged for someone to start applying for visas and charter flights, which should be completed as quickly as possible and cannot delay attending the memorial service.

A day later, all the formalities were completed directly, Xu Ping'an chartered a plane directly to Dresden, rested for two days, and appeared at the memorial service in a black suit.

I talked to Mrs. Hickman, hugged him, comforted Mrs. Hickman, and shook hands with Dr. Hickman's children and relatives one by one.

After the memorial service ended, until the cemetery was buried, Xu Ping'an said goodbye to Dr. Hickman's family, and the media did not hide that the incident was exposed, with a lot of photos.

People who see the news generally have a good sense of Xu Ping'an, the two have only met once and had a drink together, Xu Ping'an can do this It seems very humane, and people from all walks of life give Xu Ping'an a good evaluation.

After resting for two days, Xu Ping'an planned to return to China tomorrow, and directly received a call from Norton, chairman of Airbus, that night, to have a good talk with Xu Ping'an, and Norton was delayed by other things at the end of the forum.

By the time Norton was done, Xu Ping'an had already left the Celestial Empire and gone to Germany, so he had no choice but to go to France first, and he didn't call Xu Ping'an until Xu Ping'an attended the memorial service.

The meeting place was set in France, Xu Ping'an had a manor on the outskirts of Paris, and the two sides met at Xu Ping'an's manor, and Xu Ping'an called Norton after arriving in France.

Refund the ticket directly, change to a charter flight and go directly to Paris, the housekeeper waited outside the airport with the convoy, shook hands with Xu Ping'an and left the airport directly.

After saying nothing all the way, and soon arrived at home, Xu Ping'an drank a little tea and called Norton, agreeing to meet at Xu Ping'an's manor at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

Norton put down the phone and looked at the old man sitting in front of him, "Come to his manor tomorrow to discuss."

"Are you so sure they're already developing a hydrogen aircraft engine, it's not as simple as a car engine," the old man asked with a frown.

"Hahn, high-performance car engines have always been the shortcomings of the Tianchao automobile industry, who can know the hydrogen energy engine in the hydrogen energy industry, we have also disassembled several hydrogen engines, you have read the report, you should know what level"

"Don't forget the Apocalypse Institute of Machinery and Equipment in Italy, hydrogen engines are the result of that institute, who knows if they have started the research on hydrogen engines for aircraft, and what if we really have them"

"Civil aircraft are not military aircraft, they don't need so many restrictions, as long as they reach thrust, how many simple aircraft engine drawings are circulating in the outside world"

"In case the development of the aircraft hydrogen engine of the Qiqi Group is successful, it is still a different matter whether to cooperate with us or not, there are many aircraft manufacturing companies in the world, and it is not difficult to acquire one."

"The cost of jet fuel has been reduced by more than half, and although the price of ordinary fuel has fallen a lot, the price of jet fuel has only fallen by 20 percent."

"We can't afford to take the risk of how much it will be reduced by switching to hydrogen, and how much profit it will make in it," Norton let out a long sigh.

"I can't imagine that the Celestial Empire has played with a hydrogen energy, why is it so incredible" Hahn followed up and said, it has been so long since the advent of hydrogen energy, Hahn still can't believe it.

"The Celestial Empire is very short of energy, but it has been rejected by oil giants, and it can't get good oil fields, so it can only rely on buying high-priced crude oil to use, and the domestic desire to find alternative energy is very urgent."

"Even if the Apocalypse Group does not break through, it will not be many years before the Celestial Empire officials will make a breakthrough in new energy, in Xu Ping'an's words, it is a matter of time before new energy sources appear, and the Apocalypse Group is just one step ahead" Norton followed up.

Hahn nodded, took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, looked at Norton and said, "By the way, Xu Ping'an is very greedy, and his love of eating alone is already recognized worldwide, how are you going to talk to him, he knows very well how much profit there is."

"Hahn, you underestimate Xu Ping'an, he is very measured when he eats alone, every step is within the scope of public acceptance, and everything outside the scope has been patented"

"Do you know the translator product, what is the effect, how big the market is Xu Ping'an, but he didn't produce it himself, but authorized more than 60 companies around the world."

"What about the hydrogen industry, what is the profit in it, he has authorized each country, and he is behind the scenes to collect royalties, why is this, you think about it"

"Xu Ping'an is more cunning and powerful than you think," Norton looked at Hahn and said seriously, this scheming you can't understand until a certain extent.

Hahn frowned, and after a while, he said slowly, "Forget it, you can count it in your heart, I don't worry about it, I'm old, and my brain can't keep up."

The next day, Xu Ping'an had breakfast, and Norton arrived when he was walking in the garden, shook hands and the two talked in the garden, and the housekeeper brought a pot of tea and left.

"Xu, can you know how far you have developed a hydrogen engine for your aircraft?" Norton asked straight to the point.

"Yes, at present, we have made a great breakthrough, the thrust has reached the point of using the aircraft, the only problem is that the volume is a bit large, and some optimization is needed," Xu Ping'an said directly.

Norton nodded, as he expected, the volume was not so easy to solve, "Xu, do you know why the Celestial Empire has not been able to give birth to advanced launches?"

"I want to hear it in detail" Xu Ping'an is really curious about this.

"That's because there are a lot of materials in the aircraft engine manufacturing technology that are controlled, and you can't get these materials in the Celestial Empire, so you can't produce high-quality engines," Norton said very practically.

"So, you have a way to solve this problem," Xu Ping'an said with a smile on his face.

"Of course, I want you to get our Airbus engine engineers involved in this project, once our engineers solve the problem, it doesn't take much, we just need twenty percent of the patent share, you see how" Norton said directly.

"No" Xu Ping'an smiled and clearly refused, Norton shook his head and smiled, Xu Ping'an reacted too quickly to take the bait.

"I have an offer that you can sell me the engine technology I need, and I promise you that Boeing will not license hydrogen engines, and I will only license up to three patents except for Airbus"

"I keep one copy, one copy of the Celestial Empire's enterprises, and the other one I need to trade," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

"You really want to meddle in the aircraft industry, why is that" Norton looked at Xu Ping'an and asked with a serious face.

"You know, I need to fly around every year, I've really done enough for ordinary airplanes, I invite an air manor to produce an airplane for my own use, and I don't want other technologies to leak out" Xu Ping'an said directly.

Norton immediately understood Xu Ping'an's thoughts, "Xu, you can't worry about the leakage of other technologies during the interior decoration of the aircraft, I have a plan to solve this problem, however, you can only authorize it externally."

"Let's listen to it," Xu Ping'an said with a smile, talking about business, that is, you come and go to seek an acceptable point.

"Airbus can sell you large passenger aircraft engine technology, so that you can accelerate the development of hydrogen engines for aircraft, and at the same time invest in an aircraft manufacturing plant in the Celestial Empire"

"We can help you design the air estate, and when it comes to production, you can send personnel to install other technologies in the past according to your requirements, and make the improvements you need, as long as some inherent places are not changed, it will not affect the performance of the aircraft"

"We can provide cost-price spare parts support, so you can save a lot of time and energy"

"In this way, you don't need to worry about technology leakage, our problems will be solved, you see" Norton said directly, Xu Ping'an began to think about it, this plan is very practical.

"You don't have to worry about me licensing other aircraft manufacturers to compete with you Airbus," Xu Ping'an looked at Norton and said directly.

"Xu, as long as it's not Boeing, I really don't believe that your Celestial Empire's aircraft manufacturers can compete with us, Airbus's word-of-mouth accumulation has been formed over the years, and it is not something that can catch up in a short period of time"

"Even if the aircraft manufacturers of the Celestial Empire get your authorization, they can't compete with me Airbus, don't look at my high price, the aircraft industry is different from other industries, and the technology involved in this is not so simple" Norton said confidently, knowing Xu Ping'an's careful thinking.

"What price will the engine technology sell me?" asked Xu Ping'an directly.

"Ten million euros, how about it, it's a good price for this price," Norton said directly.

Xu Ping'an followed up with a sentence of "Say the additional conditions".

After hearing this, Norton rubbed his head, "Xu, you are so shrewd that you will have no friends."

Xu Ping'an smiled and didn't speak, looked at Norton, and motioned for Norton to continue to say the conditions, what is there to say directly, there is no point in beating around the bush.

"Correspondingly, the licensing price you gave me can't be higher, and at the same time, the licensing price for another aircraft manufacturer can't be lower than ours," Norton said directly.

"The one-time signing authorization fee is 50 million euros, and then we authorize a transfer fee of 10 million for each aircraft, which is not a high price," Xu Ping'an said directly.

With a "poof", Norton couldn't help but squirt off the tea he had just drunk, reacted quickly, turned his head, looked at Xu Ping'an, and had a new understanding of Xu Ping'an's greed.

"Don't you think that's a bit excessive," Norton said directly, his face already sinking.

Xu Ping'an took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to Norton, Norton took it, opened it and pulled out the paper and began to wipe his mouth, while Xu Ping'an began to speak.

"You know very well the price of the hydrogen engine of the aircraft, even if the price is 10 million higher than the current similar aircraft, the airlines of various countries will not be able to refuse, and they will definitely place crazy orders"

"There are also international logistics companies, it is inevitable to purchase a large number of them, you know very well how much the quantity is, I don't need to say more about the profits here, I Tianqi Group only extracted 10 million expenses for a plane, not high" Xu Ping'an said calmly.

Making international jokes, not high, not ordinarily high, Norton began to bargain with Xu Ping'an, the number below 10,000 was meaningless, and the two began to fight back and forth for 11,000.

After drinking a pot of tea, more than half an hour passed before an agreement was reached, with a licensing fee of 100 million euros and a patent fee of 5 million euros per aircraft.

At the same time, Tianqi Group's authorization of another aircraft company must also be based on this standard, and the authorization object is limited to companies outside the United States, and must not be authorized to aircraft manufacturing companies in the United States.

The price of the engine technology sold by Airbus to Tianqi Group is 30 million euros, and it is agreed that this technology will only be used by Tianqi Group and will not cause technology leakage.

Xu Ping'an will not return to China for the time being, Norton will hold a board meeting in the past two days, and with the results of the signing of the agreement, it is not too late for Xu Ping'an to return to China.

After negotiating, no more tea, Xu Ping'an asked the housekeeper to send over a bottle of red wine, and when they arrived at two glasses, the two began to taste the red wine slowly, chatting while nucleus, Norton had promised to eat at Xu Ping'an's place at noon, and there was time.
