Chapter 150: The Golden Dragon Battery
That's right, if that's what Robert the Vulture did, how could he get so good in New York?
Just as the "old white men" in Boston like to take on commissions from people of color, in the eyes of real international lawyers, do lawyers who do not partner with foreigners to harm domestic enterprises have the face to be called international lawyers?
The so-called "old white man", that is, the abbreviation of "old, white, male", is a special product of the American legal profession. In the pervasive implicit racism and xenophobic stubbornness of white American society, there is such a group that specializes in earning legal mandates for people of color.
Because of their white status, they can provide better shelter for people of color and foreigners who are treated unfairly, which can be regarded as a model of razing against razing.
Similarly, if Robert the Vulture didn't have this kind of ability to pit his own family, he wouldn't have entered Hu Wenhai's eyes.
On that night when the fireworks went off, Robert kicked everyone out of the only room with a stove for heating, and then told Hu Wenhai and Pan his plan.
To put it simply, it's a plan within a count.
Hu Wenhai used his identity to grasp a patent trap that was relatively obvious and could be discovered, and then someone he trusted to grasp the real patent barrier.
The difference is that patent traps can be avoided or replaced by investment, while patent barriers can only be solved by forming a separate system or mastering the next generation of technology through super huge investment. It's like Intel's position in the x86 architecture, or Qualcomm's monopoly in the CDMA system, is not mastered by patent barriers.
Of course, patent barriers must first be quite confident in their own R&D capabilities. Because technology is always evolving, today's barriers may not be able to stop tomorrow's enemies, and the investment in building barriers is huge, and once it is broken through, it will be a heavy loss. In the midst of scientific research competitions. The owner of the barrier must always be far ahead of his opponent.
The patent trap set by Hu Wenhai can ensure that Motorola or other companies can jump down boldly, because it is not unsolvable for them.
However, when Motorola jumped down, it found that the pit that it thought could be climbed up again had actually been dug to the other side of the world.
Focusing on how to form products of water lithium battery, Hu Wenhai has already formed a patent network. Make sure to block any latecomers in the way.
And most importantly, through IBA's battery materials conference, no one knows whether the ST Battery Research Institute has more advanced technology than the current lithium water battery.
Speaking of which, the tactic of holding advanced technology in hand and waiting for the other party's technological breakthrough, and then dumping to make competitors lose money and go bankrupt, the Chinese will not suffer less in the future in the reform and opening up.
Now, such a crisis has befallen Motorola.
Presumably, this taste should be quite fresh, right?
In the venue of the IBA Opening Ceremony. The participants below had a great time discussing what impact it would have on the industry if lithium water batteries could really reach three times the energy density of nickel-metal hydride battery capacity.
Even the most pessimistic people can't deny that if lithium water batteries can eventually increase to three times the energy density of nickel-metal hydride batteries, it will definitely be a big earthquake for the entire battery industry - no, or the entire human society, will be changed by this technology.
Even if it is only twice the energy density of nickel-metal hydride batteries, such performance is enough to completely transform the battery industry.
And the benefits of this industrial upgrading to people in the industry are self-evident. Like the period of industrial opportunity that followed the economic crisis, this would be the beginning of a golden age.
But there was not no one in the room without anger, fear and frustration.
Spacey opened his mouth. Looking at the following, I have long forgotten that this is his speech, his opening ceremony, and his showtime. And the Chinese, who were supposed to be unable to enter at the door, became the protagonists of this meeting.
"Bastard, you lied to me!" Spacey grabbed the host's collar in despair and looked at the other party's calm face angrily, "I won't let you go." IBA is over! It's over! You've made the wrong choice, and Motorola will let you know it's awesome!"
"Professor Spacey. ”
The host's hand lightly rested on his fist, and he undoubtedly pressed Spacey's hand that was raised in the air: "I advise you to calm down, IBA is a non-profit academic organization, and it is not a puppet of any interest group. If violence can make you feel better. I don't mind taking a punch and sending you to the police station for a few days, and earn tens of thousands of dollars in compensation by the way. ”
"Still, I guess we're all civilized, aren't we?"
"Shit!" Spacey put down his fist and snorted coldly again, "Shit!"
"IBA also has the face to call itself a non-profit organization? You dare to say that you don't take money from the Chinese? What kind of conspiracy does the academic organization still have, why didn't you tell me about your small actions with the Chinese in private earlier!"
Spacey wasn't stupid either, and he didn't know what was going on at this point. Without the cooperation of IBA, it would be difficult for the Chinese to achieve such an effect on such occasions.
Of course, they can find some opportunities to publish their research results, but they will inevitably be questioned by their peers. However, with the poor stepping brick of Spacey, the Chinese did not just step on his "corpse" to stand in their position. If someone wants to question them on non-academic or even academically unreliable grounds such as identity, status, and power, they must be mentally prepared to be ruined.
"Since Professor Spacey also knows that this is all business, shouldn't he be so angry?"
"But you are doing things for the Chinese!" Spacey was angry: "You are betraying the country and destroying the battery industry in the United States! Look at the person below, he doesn't even have a green card!"
"Well, actually my grandfather was a German, and he only came to the United States after World War II. So, can we not mention the word patriotism?"
The host changed his face, patted him on the shoulder, and said sympathetically: "Besides, IBA doesn't want to become a laughing stock and jump off the plane when the flight of the new era is about to take off." ”
"Let me send you a word, it is said that this is used by your Chinese opponent to educate his subordinates. The host broke free from Spacey's hand, dusted off the folds on his collar, and said indifferently: "It is said that Mr. Wenhaihu once said that there are three major illusions in life, which are called the phone ringing, she likes me, and 'I can fight back'." ”
"Hehe, to be honest, seeing your little action before the meeting, I kind of understand what it means to 'I can fight back'......"
"Bastard, Motorola will not let you go, will not let IBA go! will not let go of the damned Chinese! everyone will have to pay!"
"I doubt it, don't believe me-" The host pointed to Ling Xiao, who was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Hello Mr. Ling, I'm Addison, the technical director of Motorola, I think we had a bit of a misunderstanding before!"
Ling Xiao was just a translator who was pulled by Mao Qingzhu, and he didn't know what the inside story of the two sides was before, so he could only subconsciously shake hands with the other party, which made a lot of smiles on Addison's face.
"That's right, I have to explain. Of course, this is indeed our fault at Motorola, but this is by no means a deliberate vicious competition, it is just a bad thing for those temporary workers in the legal department!"
"Oh, you mean Mr. Edgar? I heard that his father was friends with Director Horsen of Grumman, a big man that we Chinese can't mess with. ”
"Rest assured, we're going to make him pay!" Alldison swore to him.
Motorola has invested hundreds of millions of planned funds in the water lithium battery project, and tens of millions of dollars have been spent on acquisitions and research and development of technology. There are also production equipment that has already been ordered, and this part of the deposit has also been spent. If the contract is broken, it will also cause huge losses, and he, the head of the technical department, will have to take the blame.
If he could throw out a second ancestor of the Ministry of Justice to take the blame, even if the Chinese did not mention it, he would do it.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with curiosity, translating for Addison and Mao Qingzhu, and at the same time, a novel experience rose in his heart. When will the Chinese be able to negotiate with foreigners so calmly? The object is still an enterprise of Motorola's level, which makes the director of the technical department of the other party tremble and be apprehensive.
"The offer of 30 million US dollars is indeed too little for water lithium battery, this is the decision of the legal department at that time, not the opinion of our technical department! If it can, Motorola is willing to pay 300 million US dollars to acquire all the relevant patents of this technology!"
"300 million," Ling Xiao swallowed and translated the price: "US dollars, Mr. Addison is talking about US dollars." ”
Mao Qingzhu touched his hair markedly, waved his big hand, and said neatly: "Professor Ling asked you to translate it to him, just say that we don't sell this technology!"
"Not for sale?" In Ling Xiao's opinion, a price of 300 million US dollars can already buy any kind of technology in China, but Mao Qingzhu refused without blinking an eye!
"Yes, not for sale!" Mao Qingzhu said categorically.
"Still, Professor Ling, you can ask this Addison. ”
Mao Qingzhu groaned, sat up straight, looked directly at Addison and said, "I don't know if Motorola is interested in being the agent of King Long Battery in the United States?"
Addison listened to Ling Xiao's translation, and was a little inexplicable: "Excuse me, what is the Golden Dragon battery?"
Mao Qingzhu was confident: "Oh, we have an idiom in China called Jiaolong goes to sea. This golden dragon battery is the golden dragon that flew out of the water. (To be continued......)
