Chapter 450: Our cooperation is kept secret
With Xu Ping'an's approval, Ye Changlin immediately took action, don't look at the game industry and the computer hardware industry are not close to each other, but there are definitely a lot of connections here, and there is cooperation between them.
As Ye Changlin, he can already contact these hardware manufacturers, and in the name of Xu Ping'an, he sent an invitation to invite the presidents of CPU, motherboard, memory, hard disk, sound card, graphics card, and other major manufacturers to the headquarters of Tianqi Technology to discuss a cooperation.
Sending Ye Changlin away, Xu Ping'an took out the phone and called Norton, but no one answered for a long time, Xu Ping'an was puzzled for a while, and Norton answered the phone when he was about to hang up.
"Xu, do you know what time it is," Norton said impatiently.
"It's eleven o'clock in the morning, oh no, sorry"
"I forgot about the jet lag, I'm sorry" Xu Ping'an understood what was going on.
"Just tell me what's going on," Norton said helplessly.
"You come to my science and technology headquarters, the engine has broken through," Xu Ping'an said directly.
"Oh, I see"
"Wait, what are you talking about" Norton reacted, his voice becoming powerful.
"Aircraft hydrogen engines have broken through, according to the data that has not yet been tested, it is even better than we expected, and fuel costs can be saved by about 60 percent," Xu Ping'an said directly.
"Xu, I love you so much, I will immediately arrange for someone to book a plane ticket, and I will charter a direct flight to the Celestial Empire to meet you" Norton was not sleepy at all at this moment, looking forward to the stars and the moon Apocalypse Group finally broke through, and the pressure on his body was swept away.
"Looking forward to your arrival, I will arrange a room for you, you can have a good sleep and recover when you come" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, Norton also smiled, and the two hung up the phone after chatting a few words.
Norton was no longer sleepy at this moment, looked at the time, it was more than four o'clock, and directly picked up the phone and dialed out, and it took a while for someone to answer the phone.
"Boss," a weak voice came over.
"Lily, immediately arrange for me to charter a flight to the Celestial Empire at eight o'clock," Norton said directly.
"Well, good boss" Secretary Lily has already reflected, this is not a trivial matter.
"Do you need to notify anyone else," Lily asked.
"Inform Grand Director Hahn, Grand Director Barth, and Engineer Bobby, Head of Technology, that it's just the three of them, and make it clear that they must be on time to get to the airport," Norton said directly.
"Okay boss, I'll send out the notice right away," Lily said directly, and hung up the phone after a few words with Norton.
Norton couldn't sleep, so he went to wash up directly, and let people start preparing breakfast, and went out for a run by himself.
Time passed slowly, and in the afternoon, the hardware family basically received an invitation from the Apocalypse Game Company, and the notice was immediately sent to the general manager's office, or the president's office, or the chairman's office.
Everyone looked at this invitation and began to think deeply, what is the Apocalypse Game going to do, what does Xu Ping'an want to do, cooperate, what can I cooperate with you, this is the first thought of many people.
Many people threw this invitation aside, and the presidents of those famous brand manufacturers did not throw it away, but continued to think about it, Tianqi Group has entered a period of scientific and technological explosion, do they have a breakthrough.
But we are a producer of computer hardware, and we should not be close to the breakthrough of the Apocalypse Group, Xu Ping'an invited us to do something, and after thinking about it for a long time, we sent people to reply to the Apocalypse Game Company, and they will go to the appointment on time.
No matter what carelessness it is, let's take a look and then say, if it is suitable, it will cooperate, and if it is not suitable, it will be good to refuse, in case there is any breakthrough in the Apocalypse Group, you must follow and drink a sip of soup.
The president of Intel also thinks so, look at Qualcomm, they are all chips, what is Qualcomm's annual profit, and what is their own profit, it is impossible not to envy.
Apocalypse Group is a big customer of Qualcomm, and the annual transaction volume of the two companies reaches more than four billion US dollars, and the Inter company is also very envious.
The development direction of the two companies is different, Qualcomm mainly develops in communications, chips are also communication chips, and Intel's main development direction is computers, and the two have a tacit understanding not to interfere in their respective industries.
Time passed slowly, at nine o'clock in the evening, Norton's charter flight arrived in Hangzhou, Xu Ping'an arranged a car to pick them up at the airport, the room has been arranged, rest for one night, and meet tomorrow to discuss in detail.
Norton is really out of energy, although the mood is very anxious, but they also have to rest, after being sent to the hotel to eat some food and go directly to rest.
Early the next morning, Norton took the others to the weather science and technology park in a car, and before entering Xu Ping'an's office, Lily was waiting outside, and the four of Norton went in to talk to Xu Ping'an.
Norton introduced the two big directors to Xu Ping'an, the two shook hands and sat down to drink tea, Xu Ping'an handed a test data to Norton, and Norton handed it directly to Bobby.
"Xu, with our engine technology, it took you almost seven months to break through, and if you sold us your technology, you would have broken through a long time ago" Norton said unceremoniously, mainly because the pressure was too great during this period of time.
"Wait a while, you ask your engineer to see if he sees it that way, from these data, he can see the gap" Xu Ping'an also unceremoniously pushed back.
Norton and the two big directors were stunned, and looked at Poppy who was watching the data carefully, "Xu, do you have black tea here, green tea is too cool, I can't bear it" Director Hahn directly diverted the topic.
"I'm sorry, I was negligent" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and immediately started to work, re-brewed a pot of black tea, and chose what he wanted to drink.
After a while, Poppy finished reading the data report, with a shocked expression on his face, "Mr. Xu, how did you do it, how could such a small amount of hydrogen energy produce such a big thrust".
"Mr. Bobby, don't worry, I'll take you to the lab later, you'll see our new engine, this is the revolution in the heart of the aircraft," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Let's go now, seriously, I'm fidgeting right now," Norton said directly, and the other two directors said the same thing.
Xu Ping'an raised his hand and drank the tea in the cup, "Please, I'll take you over" After speaking, he stood up, and the four Nortons also stood up, and everyone left the office together.
About 20 minutes, Xu Ping'an took them to the negative floor of another building, communicated with Chen Zhiping, the project leader, and conducted a thrust test for several people.
Xu Ping'an and Norton watched and chatted on the side, and soon, the engine began to run, a huge roar and a blue tail flame spray, and Poppy stared at various data on the side, and the expression on his face was very excited.
Norton and the three of them were completely relieved to see Poppy's expression, obviously, the data made Poppy very satisfied, completely relieved, and began to chat with Xu Ping'an, it didn't take long, the short test was over, and it took a while for Poppy to come back.
"Boss, perfect, perfect, I expect to save 65 to 70 percent on fuel costs," Poppy said with excitement on his face, knowing too well what that statistic meant.
"Xu, congratulations" Norton turned around and stretched out his hand and said directly, the expression on his face was very solemn.
"It should be congratulations to us, a win-win situation is a win" Xu Ping'an shook hands with Norton and said directly, Norton nodded in recognition of Xu Ping'an's words, this time it is indeed a win-win situation.
"I think we need to have a substantive talk," Director Hahn said on the side, Xu Ping'an and Norton both nodded, and everyone changed their clothes and left the laboratory.
Xu Ping'an found an excuse to leave first, and set aside time for the Norton three to communicate with Bobby, and it would be much better to negotiate after the communication, mainly to let Norton and others understand that their technology is effective, but it is not a critical technology.
Poppy began to explain his understanding of this engine to the Norton trio, and after reading the detailed data, he had seen the real thing, and Poppy understood it in detail, and clearly pointed out that the engine that had just been tested did not include much Airbus aircraft engine technology.
"Bobby, are you mistaken" Hahn was surprised.
"Mr. Hahn, I was involved in the development of our engine technology when it was first developed, and I know very well that I am telling you the truth now, that this engine of the Apocalypse Group is an engine with a completely new concept"
"They use double supercharging, turbocharging and carbon magnetic supercharging, I don't understand the carbon magnetic supercharging, you have to disassemble it to understand, I want to say that this technology has a very wide range of applications, it is a cross-era technology"
"After turbocharging, the thrust can be increased by more than 20 percent through the carbon magnetic increase, so as to achieve the purpose of saving fuel, so I just said that it can save 65 to 70 percent of fuel costs."
"The price of hydrogen is much lower than that of jet fluid, and if we produce this kind of aircraft, the world's airlines will go crazy and place orders for us, and their profit margins are already very thin, and they can't resist the temptation to increase their profit margins," Bobby said with certainty.
The three Nortons looked at each other, and they all nodded seriously, even if there was an agreement, they couldn't be careless.
Half an hour later, Xu Ping'an and Norton started negotiations in the office, which went very smoothly, and Xu Ping'an did not ask for a sky-high price, according to the framework of the previous agreement, the credibility must be maintained.
"Gentlemen, I have a suggestion, our cooperation is a secret," Xu Ping'an said with a serious expression on his face as he looked at the three of them.
Secret, what does Xu Ping'an mean, such a good thing must be publicized on a large scale, and when the time comes, Airbus's stock will definitely create a record high, and who will buy the stock if it is kept secret.
