Chapter 0266 Bosch conditions
No matter how mature the development of in-cylinder direct injection technology is, if there is still no technical conditions for the production of this engine in China, then in Zhou Jingming's view, this technology is nothing more than to bring financial benefits to himself, and it is not much benefit to improve the level of the domestic automobile industry.
If this is the case, Zhou Jingming might as well sell the technology directly to Bosch in the form of a buyout, and the financial benefits will be a little more.
"Build a production line specializing in the production of in-cylinder direct injection engines?" When he heard Zhou Jingming say this, Royce couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and he didn't dare to agree to Zhou Jingming rashly.
"The cost of building the production line must be paid by us, or if Mr. Royce feels embarrassed, I can reduce the cost of Bosch's patent for purchasing direct injection in the cylinder, and it will be regarded as adding money to buy a production line, what do you think?" Seeing that Royce was silent, Zhou Jingming continued.
"In addition, direct injection is not the only patent I have, in the next few years, our Future Innovation Studio will launch more advanced automotive technologies, involving all aspects of the car, and these patents are related to Bosch's core business, if this cooperation can be successful, we can further establish a cooperative relationship in the future." Zhou Jingming began to magnify his moves.
In-cylinder direct injection is only the first patent developed by the Future Innovation Studio, and Zhou Jingming will continue to cover the patents in the rest of the automotive technology, and will focus on the layout of the three major areas of automotive engine, gearbox and automotive electronics, and these three contents are the core business of Bosch.
Focusing on the world is a principle for Zhou Jingming to enter the automotive industry in the future, if he can, Bosch will become a window for Zhou Jingming in Europe, with the help of Bosch's influence, and gradually seize the European market, so Zhou Jingming attaches great importance to the cooperation with Bosch.
Sure enough, Zhou Jingming's big move worked, and if it were anyone, I am afraid that there would be no way to refuse such a temptation, and with Royce's understanding of Zhou Jingming, Zhou Jingming would definitely not lie to him with these words!
A technology of direct injection in the cylinder is already so powerful, so the patent that Zhou Jingming will launch in the future will definitely not be bad, and using a production line to make such a powerful ally is really worth it in Royce's opinion!
"Mr. Zhou's suggestion, I will go and report it to the company again, and I will definitely give you an answer tonight at the latest, what do you think?" Royce raised his head and stared at Zhou Jingming and asked.
The Bosch headquarters only gave Royce a lot of power in terms of price, and when it came to the technical field, Royce still had to discuss it with the company, but it should not be a big problem.
"Well, then I'll wait for Mr. Royce's reply. Zhou Jingming nodded and replied with a smile.
After breakfast, Zhou Jingming and Wang Yuanchao followed the rest of the people to participate in a series of activities organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Last night, Fleming had confirmed with the headquarters of General Motors in the United States that the U.S. Patent Office had indeed received the patent application submitted by Zhou Jingming, so that General Motors had completely lost the possibility of developing this technology on its own, either avoiding this technology, or spending money to buy it, and there was no other way.
Although he can't get used to Fleming's arrogance, but Zhou Jingming will not get along with money, what he lacks most now is capital, just relying on the factory of Xunming Gear Factory, the profit earned is not enough at all, so if the price on the GM side is reasonable, Zhou Jingming does not mind doing business with the Americans.
As long as the core technology is in his own hands, the rest of Zhou Jingming feels that it doesn't matter.
But in terms of the purchase price, Zhou Jingming seemed to be insulted, and Fleming's plan was that Zhou Jingming used the right to use the technology of direct injection in the cylinder, plus a certain amount of money, in exchange for the manufacturing technology of General Motors' SmallBlock engine.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Jingming needs to use direct injection in the cylinder to add money, and in exchange for a general production line.
Not to mention that the SmallBlock engine will soon be replaced by the LS series engine, just a production line, the core technology of this engine is still in the hands of General Motors, China has become nothing more than a production base of General Motors, this kind of loss-making business, Zhou Jingming is not stupid.
Therefore, after listening to Fleming's plan, Zhou Jingming immediately refused.
"Mr. Zhou, I still hope that you can think about it again, if you miss this opportunity, what you will lose is likely to be the world's largest automobile market today. Fleming saw that Zhou Jingming was indifferent, and there was even a hint of threat in his words.
Faced with Fleming's attitude, Zhou Jingming sneered, "Mr. Fleming, I also hope that you can think about it again, if you miss this opportunity, what you will lose is likely to be the world's largest automobile market in the future." ”
Zhou Jingming said this, in fact, there is more of an element of tribute, because in the near future, SAIC-GM will soon be established, and GM will still defeat its competitor Ford and enter the Chinese market, which is the general trend of history, and it also involves the central level, and Zhou Jingming has not changed the fact that there is not so much energy.
But in any case, the momentum cannot be lost.
And even if GM and SAIC have established a joint venture, it does not mean that GM will be able to dominate the domestic market, and the collapse of joint venture car companies is nothing new, Guangzhou Peugeot is the best example.
The negotiation with Fleming was just a small episode, and it did not affect Zhou Jingming's plan, but General Motors quietly blacklisted Zhou Jingming.
At dinner, Royce found Zhou Jingming again.
"Mr. Zhou, I just confirmed with the company, the company agrees with your proposal, we can provide you with the technology for the construction of the direct injection production line in the cylinder, and even if necessary, we can also send technical personnel to the factory for special guidance. Fleming said solemnly.
"Then what do I need to pay?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.
Bosch is willing to invest heavily to agree to cooperate with Zhou Jingming, and it must put forward its own requirements.
"It's refreshing to talk to Mr. Zhou about cooperation. Fleming smiled and continued, "We need the exclusive rights to the technology in Europe, which means that any European car company other than Bosch that wants to use the technology needs to be purchased through Bosch." Of course, in return, the price we paid for this must be a lot higher than before. ”
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
