Regarding participating in the replacement project of Hongqi car, Zhou Jingming has reached an agreement with Chen Dongsheng in principle, and being able to design China's national car must be a dream for any domestic automotive engineer.

"Xiao Zhou, if time permits, I want to wait for tomorrow's event to end, invite you to visit our FAW, and by the way, show you the preliminary idea of our FAW for the replacement of Hongqi cars, what do you think?" After a detailed discussion, Chen Dongsheng looked at Zhou Jingming and said.

Zhou Jingming thought about it seriously, and then replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, Director Chen, this time is estimated to be no, you also know that direct injection in the cylinder is still in the theoretical research stage, and the next stage is the experimental demonstration stage, and there are still many things I need to deal with, I really can't pull out, I'm really sorry." ”

"It's nothing. Chen Dongsheng hurriedly waved his hand, "I just said casually, if you don't have time, wait for the next time you come to our FAW, it's okay, you can finish the things at hand first, just now I didn't think about it." ”

Chen Dongsheng felt that it was not far from Yanjing to Chuncheng, so he brought it up by the way, but since Zhou Jingming didn't have time, there was nothing to force it, after all, Zhou Jingming was not an employee of FAW.

After the three of them chatted for a few more minutes, Chen Dongsheng and Ren Changjiang got up to leave, and Zhou Jingming could finally take a good rest.

The second day, the last day of the conference, was a two-day event of high-intensity technical presentations, and the organizers arranged some entertainment activities for the attendees to relax and unwind.

At breakfast, not long after Zhou Jingming and Wang Yuanchao sat down, Royce walked over.

"Hello two, I'm Reuss, an engineer from Bosch, I don't know if I can interrupt me?" After talking to the Bosch headquarters on the phone last night, the meaning of the headquarters was very clear, Bosch must get the technology of direct injection in the cylinder!

So early in the morning, Royce found Zhou Jingming and was ready to discuss this matter with him.

Zhou Jingming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if Bosch didn't come to him today, then Zhou Jingming would have to consider reporting to his family, but at that time, his own negotiation waist was not as hard as it is now.

Zhou Jingming made a gesture to sit down, "Hello Mr. Royce, is there anything wrong?"

"That's right, we at Bosch would like to talk to Mr. Zhou about the cooperation of direct injection technology. Royce said straight to the point.

"Since Mr. Royce is so frank, then I will also say it bluntly, I think you also know that there are not a few companies that want to cooperate with me to develop in-cylinder direct injection and even buy out this technology, Bosch is not the only one, can you tell me the reason for choosing you?" Zhou Jingming did not rush to express his position, but asked with a smile.

"First of all, Bosch is definitely the world's best in the field of engine injection technology, and if we cooperate, we are confident that we will make the technology of direct injection in the cylinder even more perfect. Second, Mr. Zhou is not a stranger to us Bosch, and the research on multi-point EFI for VR6 engine was not also promoted by Mr. Zhou, since we have a pleasant cooperation experience, why not strengthen this cooperative relationship?"

"As for the third," Royce paused suddenly, and said in a playful tone, "From yesterday to now, many companies have approached Mr. Zhou, but you have not agreed, so can I think that Mr. Zhou is deliberately waiting for our Bosch offer?"

Zhou Jingming and Royce looked at each other for a few seconds, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Now that Mr. Royce has said that, it would be hypocritical for me not to be honest. Bosch is indeed my preferred partner for cooperation, as you have just said, the theoretical research stage of direct injection in the cylinder has ended, and in the next stage, I want to use Bosch's experimental conditions and manufacturing process to complete the experimental demonstration and prototype manufacturing. ”

After laughing, Zhou Jingming said seriously.

"These are not difficult things for us, what we Bosch means is that we hope to buy out the technology of direct injection in the cylinder, and the price is negotiable, I don't know what Mr. Zhou thinks?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingming shook his head, "It is impossible to buy out, firstly, I will also use this technology in the future, secondly, I have reached a preliminary agreement with Mazda yesterday, ready to exchange the technology of direct injection in the cylinder for their rotary engine technology, if I transfer this technology to you through a buyout, although I can get a huge amount of money, but it is not consistent with my future plan." ”

If a patent is bought out, it can no longer be used for other commercial purposes, which is exclusive, but if it is sold by license, it can be sold to different manufacturers at the same time, and it is not exclusive.

Zhou Jingming will not sell all the patents applied for by the innovation studio in the future, and the ownership of the core technology must be firmly held in his own hands!

"Mr. Zhou, you may not understand what I mean, if you sell us this technology, the price we offer must be something you can't refuse!" Royce was unwilling and continued.

But Zhou Jingming still shook his head, "Of course I know that your company will offer a sky-high price to buy the technology of direct injection in the cylinder, but I still say that this technology can only be sold to you in the form of a license, but not through a buyout." ”

"If that's the case, then the price we can offer for this technology is probably going to be significantly discounted. Royce said with some disappointment.

If this technology can be bought out, it is naturally the best choice for Bosch, but Bosch obviously also considers the possibility that Zhou Jingming will not sell this technology to them in this way, so they also have other plans.

"I naturally know this, if you are willing to provide me with experimental conditions and support for the manufacture of prototypes, then I can make as much concessions as possible in terms of the patent fee of this technology of direct injection in the cylinder. ”

Royce smiled, "Mr. Zhou should have other conditions, right?"

How vicious Royce's vision is, Zhou Jingming is willing to make concessions on price, there must be conditions attached, after all, in business cooperation, interests are the most important.

Zhou Jingming was not surprised that Royce was able to see through his own ideas, but admitted very calmly, "That's natural, I hope that after the direct injection in the cylinder has passed the loading verification and reached the standard of mass production, Bosch can support us to build a special production line." ”
