Chapter 176 Technology Licensing (More than 4,000 words)
PS: 4,000 words big chapter presented!
Carl Zeiss Company.
"Welcome!"
Carl Zeiss CEO Victor smiled, a few days ago, Silicon Valley Electronics Group just announced that it would produce cameras, and in a blink of an eye, they came to Carl Zeiss company, the purpose of which is obvious, is to get Carl Zeiss optical technology!!
"Hello, Mr. Victor, I'm Frank, the manager of the camera department of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group!"
Frank held out his hand and smiled.
"Oh, Mr. Frank, it's a pleasure to meet you, please come with me and I'll take you to the reception room!"
"Okay. ”
As Victor walked, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Frank, wouldn't Silicon Valley Electronics Group still want to buy Carl Zeiss...... If so, I'm afraid, you will be disappointed. Not only do our shareholders disagree, but the German government will not agree either!!"
Frank laughed, "Mr. Victor, you misunderstood. This time, we at Silicon Valley Electronics Group sincerely want to cooperate with Carl Zeiss. Hehe, don't mention the acquisition. Our company is a company with a civilized attitude and will not engage in hostile takeovers. So, we retreated to the next best thing and wanted to reach an in-depth cooperation with Carl Zeiss!"
Frank paused and continued, "You know, a few days ago, we at Silicon Valley Electronics Group announced that we were going to produce microhard drive digital cameras. However, our company's technology on camera lenses is not yet perfect. So, we found Carl Zeiss. Because we know that Carl Zeiss's optical technology is world-class...... "In the end, a little sycophant anesthetized Victor.
"We, Carl Zeiss, have been engaged in lens research for more than 100 years, and optical technology is naturally leading the world!" Victor smiled and said flatly, seemingly unmoved.
Frank smiled and flattered, "Hehe, that's of course ......"
Victor led Frank and the others to the reception room, and the company had two teams of people, each sitting in a row. Formed a position and prepared to "fight".
Frank laughed, "Mr. Victor, let's gossip less. This time, we are here to get the license of Carl Zeiss camera lens technology!"
"Oh. No, Mr. Frank, I don't think this solution is very good! Even if we license the technology to you, you may not be able to make the exact same effect as Carl Zeiss camera lenses, and the manufacturing process technology and materials will be a huge limiting factor! I suggest that you Silicon Valley Electronics Group place an order with us, and we Carl Zeiss will produce the camera lenses, and then deliver them to you Silicon Valley Electronics Group!"
After Victor finished speaking, he looked at each other with a smile.
Frank retorted: "If this is the case, then wouldn't our Silicon Valley Electronics Group have to rely entirely on Carl Zeiss?
After everyone was asked, Frank continued: "However, Mr. Victor is also right, even if we get the technology license, we may not be able to make the same camera lens as Carl Zeiss. So, I think, it's better to do both. On the one hand, Carl Zeiss will license the technology to the Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and after a period of research, the technology will definitely improve, and on the other hand, it will produce the orders placed by the Silicon Valley Electronics Group!!You see, isn't that the best of both worlds?"
"Oh, this ......" Victor and the others were reluctant to license the technology.
In the past, tigers were raised, and Sony was cultivated.
Now Silicon Valley Electronics Group is not an idle company, if it also licenses the technology to it, who knows, will there be a second "Sony" in the future!
Victor said, "Mr. Frank. You are really too worried, what accidents and uncontrollable factors can happen to Carl Zeiss! Since the establishment of our company, we have always been able to fulfill customers' orders in real time, which is this. You can rest assured!"
Frank shook his head and said, "There are no absolutes! Our company has to be cautious! If your company really can't license the technology to us, then we can only work with Sony." After all, Sony's lenses are much cheaper than Carl Zeiss......"
Victor knew that Frank had said this on purpose, so that he could blackmail Carl Zeiss. But he had to deal with it carefully, in case he really pushed the Silicon Valley Electronics Group to Sony. It will undoubtedly cause significant losses to Carl Zeiss company!
The stronger the enemy, the weaker you become!
Silicon Valley Electronics Group's microhard drive is a very good gimmick, with a capacity far beyond the memory card! If it is used to produce cameras, it will definitely attract a lot of attention and customers like it!
If Sony cooperates with Silicon Valley Electronics Group, it will not only increase revenue, but also expand the influence of Sony Lens!
"Mr. Frank, we at Carl Zeiss need to think carefully about the matter of technology licensing, and we can't give you a clear reply for the time being. Otherwise, in three days' time, we'll sit down and negotiate!" Victor said.
Frank nodded, "Okay, then we'll talk about it in three days!"
After leaving Carl Zeiss, Frank reported to Henry on the negotiations.
"Chairman, Carl Zeiss is reluctant to license the technology to us, but is worried that we will go to Sony. It's hard to make a decision, and I'm going to start a second round of negotiations with us in three days!" Frank said.
"Well, I see......" Henry replied faintly and hung up.
After thinking for a moment, Henry laughed.
Then he called the person in charge of the German Blackwater Company and gave him an order: "Immediately ask German Vice President Dylan Bobby to come forward and help us speak." In addition, find a group of people to pretend to be from Sony to go to the hotel where Frank and the others are staying, and pretend to negotiate, so that Carl Zeiss will mistakenly think that Sony wants to cut off the !!."
"Yes!!"
The next day, before Dylan Bobby woke up, a phone rang.
"Mr. Vice President, it's time for you to get out of the way!" a very deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
Dylan Bobby was full of excitement, knew who the other party was, and understood the meaning of his words, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay, I know......"
The other party didn't say anything more, but hung up the phone.
The weather was fine, and Dylan Bobby came to Carl Zeiss as vice president to express his condolences.
"Oh, welcome. Vice President Dylan Bobby. Victor stepped forward and shook hands with Dylan Bobby.
"Hello!"
Dylan Bobby looks like a human being in front of people, smiling all over his face, and has the temperament of an official.
Victor and others brought Dylan Bobby into the company. I took him around and introduced the company. Dylan Bobby didn't say anything about the relationship between Silicon Valley Electronics Group and Carl Zeiss until more than an hour later, when Victor was ready to leave Carl Zeiss......
"Victor, I heard. Silicon Valley Electronics Group wants to license your company's technology?" asked Dylan Bobby, pretending to be casual and casual.
"Yes!" Victor nodded, "They want to license the technology, but we don't dare to say yes easily. Silicon Valley Electronics Group is very strong, and we are worried that once Silicon Valley Electronics Group gets our technology license, it will catch up......"
"You can't think like that!" Dylan Bobby interrupted with a sudden wave of his hand, "Carl Zeiss has been around for a hundred years, and if it had been afraid of competition, I'm afraid it would have gone bankrupt long ago! What can Silicon Valley Electronics Group do if it gets a technology license? You look at Sony, they don't also get the technology license, but. In the field of cutting-edge lenses, it has always been our Carl Zeiss leader!!"
What's more, even without Carl Zeiss's technology license, can't Silicon Valley Electronics Group's camera lens technology be developed? Seeing that Sony is dominating the mid-range market, it is ready to advance to the high-end and challenge Carl Zeiss's position. In that case, why not support the Silicon Valley Electronics Group and let them fight against each other!!"
Dylan Bobby said something reasonable, and everyone was a little moved by what he said.
And just then, an employee walked over. He said: "Mr. Victor, I have just been informed of a big news, the representative of Sony suddenly went to the hotel where the representative of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group was staying, and talked in detail in the hotel for two hours!!
Dylan Bobby immediately exclaimed, "Not good. Sony wants to cut off Hu!! if Silicon Valley Electronics Group cooperates with Sony, it will make Carl Zeiss lose a big customer!! but Sony can become strong because of this, and challenge Carl Zeiss !!"
Victor was a little messed up inside.
The people from Sony are here, and if they don't make a decision, the Silicon Valley Electronics Group will run to their side. Carl Zeiss not only did not make money, but made the opponent more powerful!
Victor gritted his teeth. "Immediately send an invitation to Silicon Valley Electronics Group, saying that Carl Zeiss wants to start a second round of negotiations immediately!"
"Yes!!" An employee replied and immediately ran out, ready to contact Silicon Valley Electronics Group.
At this time, Victor nodded to Dylan Bobby and said, "Vice President Dylan Bobby, you are right, instead of letting Sony take advantage of the opportunity to grow, it is better for Carl Zeiss to support Silicon Valley Electronics Group and let them fight each other! And Carl Zeiss can also get huge returns from it!!"
"Yes, that's how !!it should be," Dylan Bobby laughed, thinking to himself, his mission was finally done, and the candid video could be taken back......
A certain villa.
"Team leader, Dylan Bobby just called and said that his mission has been completed, and he wants us to keep our promise and return the candid video to him!"
"Hehe, no problem, just give him the first part. As for the videos that were secretly taken after that, he didn't know anyway!"
"Okay!!
……
Carl Zeiss was very eager to cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and started negotiations one day early!
Frank smiled: "Mr. Victor, has Carl Zeiss decided to license the technology to Silicon Valley Electronics Group?"
Victor replied: "We have already thought about licensing the technology to you! However, Silicon Valley Electronics Group needs to buy !! from Carl Zeiss before it can produce camera lenses of acceptable quality."
"Mr. Victor, do you have any specific requirements for the quality you call qualified?" asked Frank, who quickly sensed the trap in the text.
"At least 80% of the Carl Zeiss camera lenses can be at the level! Otherwise, the camera pixels are too poor, and the customer thinks that our Carl Zeiss technology is not good......"
Frank thought about it for a moment and said yes, "No problem!"
"Well, now let's talk about the technology licensing fee and the purchase price of the camera lens!" Victor said, "Carl Zeiss has a variety of technologies, and the licensing fee for each technology is different, and the camera lens, depending on which model you want to use, the price is naturally different." I've made a dozen tables for you to take a look at. ”
As he spoke, Victor pulled out a stack of forms and handed them to Frank.
Frank, a technician himself, took the form and looked at it carefully.
Zoom technology, chromatic aberration correction technology, macro lens technology, aperture technology, lens coating technology, etc......
Frank watched it for more than ten minutes, took a deep breath, and said secretly, Carl Zeiss is worthy of being a veteran world-class company, and there are really a lot of technology reserves. Frank believes that this literal technology is definitely not the best technology of Carl Zeiss and will definitely "keep a hand"!!
The drunkard doesn't mean to drink!
As for which model of camera lens, Frank didn't care too much. With technology, you can develop a good camera lens yourself!
Frank watched for more than ten minutes, selected more than 20 technologies, marked them with a pen, and then said to Victor: "The price is fine, we want these technologies to license!!"
Victor's eyes flashed, and he said secretly, the other party's eyesight is good, try to pick some good skills!!
"Okay!! then what model of camera lens do you want to choose?" Victor gritted his teeth and said, with so much technology, he was really reluctant to license it to other companies.
"This one isn't bad!" Frank pointed to a new Carl Zeiss camera lens from 1990, which was a bit more expensive, but it worked well!
Victor saw that he chose a more expensive camera lens, and felt a little more comfortable, "Okay, this kind costs $250 a !!."
Frank smiled, "Money is not an issue......"
Victor didn't have to dream a lot at night, and Sony was still outside, so he immediately signed a contract with Frank.
"I hope the two companies have a good time working together!!," Frank said, closing the file and holding out his hand.
"Happy cooperation!" said Victor as he shook hands.
"Hehe, Mr. Victor, I'll see you later......"
Frank smiled meaningfully and left Carl Zeiss with the negotiation team.
A few days later, Victor suddenly became angry, he received news that Sony had not sent a representative to Germany to discuss cooperation with Silicon Valley Electronics Group, so that group of people must have been impersonated......
