CHAPTER XXVI
Su Min was also very excited when he arrived, and when he saw Geng Daming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Geng, there is something good about the patent!"
After Geng Daming beckoned her to sit down, he made another cup of tea and handed it over, and then asked, "What's the situation?"
"Your technology is very good, and as soon as we got the patent right, an American manufacturer approached us. β
"So fast?"
"Yes, I didn't expect it, the other party is a factory specializing in the production of hydraulic machinery, and it is also a listed company in the United States, and they have taken a fancy to your technology and want you to sell the patented technology to them in the form of a buyout. β
Geng Daming smiled, if it was an ordinary person, encountered such a good thing, it is estimated that it would really be sold, but he would not sell those technologies so cheaply, in the development of hydraulics, in the following years, everyone could not get around his technology, and the purpose of applying for a patent was equivalent to blocking the door of various manufacturers.
"If you don't do anything to buy out, you can give the right to use. β
"That's what I thought, so I'm talking to them, and now I'm going to ask you what you think. β
"What do you think?" Geng Daming really didn't know too much about the patent price in this era, so he asked.
Su Min obviously has a lot of research on this aspect of things recently, and said seriously: "Mr. Geng, your patents are not ordinary technologies, I have studied the technical situation of the same industry, for some manufacturing enterprises, that is the technology that cannot be bypassed, so the price can not be low, I plan to ask for more than 50 million US dollars." β
"You are an expert in these things, I don't know too well, everything has to be entrusted to you, anyway, the higher the price you negotiate, the more you will earn, hehe. Speaking of this, Geng Daming laughed.
Su Min said: "Don't worry, I will work hard to negotiate the price, my psychological bottom line is 50 million US dollars, of course, I will shout more than 100 million when I shout the price, after all, there are just a company coming, and other companies are still waiting." β
Geng Daming thought for a while and said: "By the way, I want to trouble you with one more thing, I want to open an offshore company abroad, the main thing is confidentiality, so that no one knows that it is the company I opened, and in the future, this company will operate overseas funds or something, and the income from patent fees will also be transferred to the company's account." β
"I understand!" Su Min immediately understood Geng Daming's thoughts, many companies would engage in such a company.
"Actually, Sister Su, I have a suggestion, you can come to serve my company specifically, and if you want, I can offer a higher salary than your current income. β
Su Min didn't expect Geng Daming to say such a thing, and he was a little stunned on the spot.
In fact, after helping Geng Daming do things, she discovered Geng Daming's potential, especially when she saw the benefits that a patent might bring this time, it was false to say that she was not impressed.
"I need time. Su Min didn't refuse, and hesitated for a moment before saying a word.
"It's okay, you have time to think about it, I believe my company has a great future in the future. β
"I believe it too. β
"If I have a lot of money overseas, I will have a lot of operations and I will need a lot of people. β
Su Min smiled bitterly, feeling that the prospect that Geng Daming said was really too attractive to him, which was far more powerful than his law firm.
When the two were talking here, there were many people discussing things in the office of a company specializing in the production of hydraulic presses in the United States.
"Can we get around that technology?" asked Chairman Granton, frowning.
"We researched, and the Chinese technology is several that form a cycle, no matter which direction we develop, we will touch his patent, and we can't get around it. β
"What should I do?"
Everyone was depressed, in fact, they were also studying the technology in this direction, and they were about to produce results, but it turned out that a Chinese person got it out first, even if they wanted to say that they got it first, it was no longer possible.
"After approaching their people, what do they ask?"
"The tentative offer was $150 million. β
"What, how is it possible, the technology of the Chinese has never been valuable, and we have not gotten the technology from them, we can get it for tens of thousands of dollars, this time we still buy out the technology, I think one million is the sky!"
The other party bit the price, saying that they were not in a hurry. β
Granton punched the table and said, "How can this be!"
"Chairman, there's another thing, our competitors are said to be going to make a move, and if they get their hands on this technology, we'll be passive. β
"When did the people on the other side of China understand the market so well?"
"Now we are facing a big problem, this technology is not that we can't study it, and it's not that other companies can't study it, it's just that now they have a patent there, and we use it as an infringement, which has to pay a lot of money, and there is a problem, that is, if we lag behind our opponents, we will lose a lot of market, Huaguo is now developing, they are a huge machinery market, our machinery wants to enter the Chinese market, advanced hydraulic technology is necessary, otherwise we can't compete with peersγ β
Hearing the person in charge of technology say this, Granton said, "You mean we have to use their technology?"
"Anyway, there is no way to get around, and I don't know how the Chinese people came up with the technology, which is connected to each other, completely blocking our technical direction!"
One of the directors then said, "Guys, we have to speed up, we must not give our competitors a head start, and if we don't get our hands on this technology, our stock will fall sharply, and this will be a disaster for our company." β
"I agree with Dia, no matter what the cost, we have to get this patent!"
Granton looked at the crowd again: "More than 100 million dollars is absolutely impossible, as much as possible, you can use some additional conditions to fight for the money to come down, isn't Huaguo lacking everything now, look at what they lack, we can provide some second-hand, even new production lines or something." β
"Well, I also agree with this way of operating, while everyone hasn't made a move yet, we need to get this done as soon as possible, so let's send a negotiation team, and you go directly to the inventor to talk. β
