Chapter 0456 Full-time four-wheel drive
Royce met Zhou Jingming in the cafeteria downstairs of the hotel while having breakfast in the morning. Since they met, Royce thought about going forward to say hello first, and if Zhou Jingming was willing to cooperate with Bosch, then the follow-up negotiations could be formally held.
"Mr. Zhou, do you remember me?" Royce asked with a smile as he walked behind Zhou Jingming.
Zhou Jingming, who heard the voice, subconsciously looked back, and when he saw Royce's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, "Mr. Royce, long time no see!"
Although the two have not seen each other for several years, Zhou Jingming still recognizes Royce at a glance, and Zhou Jingming negotiated with Royce when he first negotiated with Royce for the technology of direct injection in the cylinder, and finally reached a cooperation agreement.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to remember me. Royce smiled, "Would it be better to have breakfast together?"
"Of course, it was my pleasure to have breakfast with Mr. Royce. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile, although he had already guessed what Royce wanted to say, Zhou Jingming did not break it.
After greeting Zhao Ke and secretary Xiao Ni, Zhou Jingming and Royce came to a seat by the window in the restaurant and sat down.
"Mr. Zhou is really admirable over the years, in just a few years, he has built a newly established automobile company into the scale it is today, and every time it can always bring surprises. After sitting down, Royce didn't rush to say something, but first complimented Zhou Jingming a little.
Mr. Royce was wrong. Zhou Jingming smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Zhou, don't be modest, don't say anything else, just say that the ESP system exhibited by Tianming Company at this auto show is definitely a great invention for the benefit of tens of millions of drivers. Royce shifted the question to the ESP system.
"Mr. Royce came to me this time for the ESP system. ”
"Since Mr. Zhou asked, then I will also get straight to the point, our Bosch company is very interested in this technology, I wonder if there is an opportunity to cooperate with your company?" Royce stared at Zhou Jingming's eyes and asked solemnly.
Zhou Jingming didn't answer, but waited for Royce to continue.
"Presumably Mr. Zhou also knows that our Bosch company has always been far ahead of the rest of the companies in the field of automotive electronics, and in recent years, our company has paid more and more attention to the field of automotive safety, and has invested a lot of money in the development of new products.
Royston paused, and then continued, "What's more, Mr. Zhou has also cooperated with us, and the technology of direct injection in the cylinder is a testimony to the friendship between our two companies, and the credit of Bosch is still trustworthy." If Mr. Zhou is willing, we can sit down and talk about the details of the cooperation. ”
Zhou Jingming smiled, and then said, "I'm sorry Mr. Royce, I can't cooperate with your company this time, or in the field of automotive electronics, I don't plan to cooperate with Bosch now." ”
Since he has made up his mind to enter the automotive electronics market, Bosch is Zhou Jingming's biggest competitor in the international market, and the ESP system is the most important automotive electronic product of Tianming Automobile Company, how can Zhou Jingming hand over the core technology of this product to competitors?
Especially before Tianming Automobile Company has not grown in the field of automotive electronics, this kind of "teaching apprentices, starving masters" thing, Zhou Jingming will not do, otherwise, with the market position of Bosch Company, Tianming Company has no way to compete with it, so it can only rely on the advantages of technology monopoly to slowly occupy the market and expand the company's brand influence.
"Then I see. Royce didn't continue, Zhou Jingming's answer was already very clear, and if he continued to talk about it, then Royce would be too uninteresting.
"I didn't expect the company's speculation to be true, Tianming Automobile Company really wants to take a share of the automotive electronics market!" Royce thought in shock.
After breakfast, Royce and Zhou Jingming separated, although there was no consensus with Zhou Jingming on the cooperation of the ESP system, but Royce was not nothing, at least he was able to determine that Tianming Automobile Company did have the idea of entering the automotive electronics market, and Bosch should have prepared early.
"Why, didn't we talk?" After Royce left, Zhao Ke walked up and asked with a smile.
"I didn't plan to work with Bosch either, so I didn't have much to talk about. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.
"If you really want to choose a company to cooperate, then why can't it be Bosch?" Zhao Ke asked curiously, with Bosch's authority in the field of automotive electronics, shouldn't it be the best to choose Bosch?
"Bosch didn't have what I wanted, and working with them wasn't my first choice. Zhou Jingming explained with a smile.
Whether it is the research and development of in-cylinder direct injection technology or ESP system, Zhou Jingming is not just to get money, of course, this is one of the reasons, more importantly, Zhou Jingming wants to use these technologies to exchange technology with other companies, so as to strengthen the company's scientific and technological strength.
In-cylinder direct injection has brought rotary engine technology to Tianming Company, so Zhou Jingming naturally wants to obtain an equivalent technology for ESP system, and it just so happens that Bosch's existing technology does not have what Zhou Jingming wants.
"Then which company is your preferred partner?" Zhao Ke continued. Zhou Jingming has never told him about this matter.
"Audi AG. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.
After breakfast, the next day's auto show continued, with the popularity accumulated yesterday, coupled with local media reports, the number of visitors to the exhibition area of Tianming Automobile Company was even more than yesterday, without exception, they all came to the ESP system, which added a bit of popularity to the entire Frankfurt Motor Show.
After Bosch, several car companies approached Zhou Jingming and expressed the same demands as Royce, including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other auto giants, but they were all politely rejected by Zhou Jingming.
originally thought that Zhou Jingming would soon be able to think of exchanging technology with Audi, but after waiting all night, Brant didn't see Zhou Jingming come to him, especially this morning to see so many representatives of competitors going back and forth in and out of the lounge of Tianming Automobile Company, Brant really couldn't wait.
If you wait any longer, it is estimated that the rest of the companies will be the first to take the lead.
So after the representative of Ford walked out, Brant also immediately walked into Zhou Jingming's lounge.
"Mr. Zhou, I don't know what you're thinking about, which technology do you want to exchange with the ESP system for our company?"
Zhou Jingming smiled, the other party finally couldn't wait, and now, he could put forward his conditions with peace of mind.
"I would like to exchange your company's full-time four-wheel drive technology. Zhou Jingming looked at Brant and said with a smile.
