Chapter 154: The New Year is here, and good luck is coming
"Aren't you going to Corning?"
Although he didn't get involved in business, now, Feng Yiping's mind knows Huang Jingping best.
She felt a little strange to see that he was in the mood to drag himself around Fifth Avenue and not go to Corning, which was close at hand.
Feng Yiping's coveting of Kangning's awkward name glass, she couldn't be clearer.
"No, we're here to welcome the new year, and then we'll go to Harvard Press together,"
This time when he came to New York, Feng Yiping didn't plan to go to Corning again, he had already been there twice, and there were various contacts in the middle, I believe what he meant, and I understand it over there.
If he is too attentive and too ambitious, he may arouse Kangning's vigilance, after all, in the eyes of many people, his vision is first-class and powerful.
In that case, in addition to the fact that they may ask too high, there is also a worst-case possibility, that is, they would rather keep it in their hands than not buy it.
Moreover, sometimes, this thing is to be done in reverse, the more you go on the pole and beg, the more the other party will hold the shelf, all kinds of disdain, all kinds of disdain, but if you don't pretend to be indifferent for a while, maybe the other side will take the initiative.
Huang Jingping heard this and smiled a little strangely, "Why do I think that you are not talking about business, but chasing the desire of girls?"
"This thought, the reason is really the same, it seems that in this regard, you are really experienced," Feng Yiping said to her with admiration.
"Am I experienced?" Huang Jingping suddenly stepped on the tigress and wanted to pinch him hard.
Feng Yiping has taught her three axes many times, how could she obediently stay in place and be abused, and after speaking, she had already jumped to the side. Laugh comfortably from a safe distance.
However, this time is different from the past, Huang Jingping gently touched her stomach a few times, and then looked at this side with a smile, Feng Yiping obediently walked back and let her on his arm. Symbolically pinched.
Pain is naturally not painful, but this feeling of being coerced is very bad.
"Little baby, you must recognize your mother's true face in the future, she will take you hostage when you are still in her belly," Feng Yiping said pretending to be at her high bulging belly.

Even the ruins of 911 are still being cleaned up, even a few months ago. One of the symbols of the United States, the scene of the collapse of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, is still clearly in people's minds, even though there is a lot of intelligence that shows that al-Qaeda is still planning an attack on the United States...... , however, the New Year's Eve event in Times Square, New York, which has persisted for many years. This year, it will be held as scheduled.
I have to say that human beings, as the spirit of all things. Sometimes, we are really emotional.
In this way, the U.S. government wants to show the world that the U.S. homeland is still very safe.
And those who decided to participate in the New Year's Eve event were a bit like they were gambling. "Terrorist attacks can't scare us!"
However, it is expected that more than 500,000 people will participate in this year's New Year's Eve in this small area. Such a number made people in the relevant government departments break out in cold sweat on their foreheads.
With such a concentration of people, no weapons are used, and as long as it causes a riot at the scene, it can easily reach the goal.
In order to ensure the safe and smooth holding of this event, the U.S. government and the New York City government racked their brains and made a lot of arrangements in advance.
For example, there will be more than 7,000 police officers on duty that night, and Times Square, along with the nearby eight blocks, will be tightly controlled.
In addition, there are many detailed regulations, such as the cancellation of all garbage cans on site, the sewer manhole covers are welded to death, and the people who participate in the event are not allowed to bring backpacks and must undergo metal detector testing .......
Nextdoor website, naturally, has become a good information release platform, from the federal to the state and city of New York, various units have published a lot of information similar to the strategy, although a lot of new regulations, but still tell everyone, from the sky to the ground, the prevention work, done perfectly, you don't have to worry at all.
At 6 p.m., a bell-ringing ceremony was held in Times Square to commemorate the victims of 911, and then people from all over the world slowly gathered.
"It's not easy to have so many people!" Looking at the rare crowd below, Huang Jingping sighed.
It is indeed not easy to gather so many people in this part of the United States.
However, they are not in Times Square now, but in the Hilton Times Square Hotel overlooking the Times Square show.
The crowded Cheng dù below, as in the subway on the golden line during the peak period, the virgin can not squeeze into pregnancy, and the pregnant woman will not be able to squeeze and miscarry, Feng Yiping, who has never been too lively, is impossible to take a pot-bellied woman like Huang Jingping to join in the fun below.
In fact, if Huang Jingping hadn't insisted on seeing it once, he wouldn't even want to participate, and finally compromised and chose to be in a hotel very close to the square.
…………
"Joanna, has Feng contacted you recently, such as after the holiday?" Corning's vice president dialed Joanna in the public relations department.
Before Christmas, he received gifts and phone calls carefully prepared by Feng Yiping, and before the end of the year, he specifically considered Feng Yiping's mention for the first time in the context of the continuous deepening of the Internet economy and the sales of related aspects of the group, such as the sales of optical fiber, which were still greatly reduced.
In such a poor world, it is actually not bad to use a technology that was originally obtained by accident and is now completely sealed even the production technology to monetize, and there are many similar technologies in Corning.
After he put forward this opinion to the company, he quickly got some people to agree, if it was not good, this technology, may stay in the warehouse, but now everyone hears, glass-ceramic, such a project that does not seem to have a bright future, can be exchanged for 8-figure dollar cash, that is really not impossible.
After all, this technology is really just a researcher's temporary unintentional mistake, and the cost is extremely low.
So Benjamin, who has been authorized, is now actually very eager to see Feng Yiping, who knows that he just restrained a little, and he didn't mention it, which made Benjamin a little nervous now, if he pulled down his face here, Feng Yiping didn't want to change his mind, he really didn't know how to explain to the board of directors.
That is equivalent to the queen mother finally agreeing to the matter of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong, but Dong Yong refused to be with the Seven Fairies, it was really a slap in the face!
Therefore, although he knew that taking the initiative to contact Feng Yiping now would not be conducive to the next bargaining, he still took the initiative to contact Feng Yiping and took the initiative to mention the matter.
On the first day of 02 years, he received such news, Feng Yiping felt that this start was really not better!
However, when the other party is positive, of course he has to deal with it passively, he quietly wiped his saliva, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Benjamin very plainly, "I have long forgotten about this!" However, since Mr. Benjamin has rarely kept my request more than a year ago in mind, I will definitely not let you be busy in vain, and will seriously consider the opportunity you have won, but I will not consider the matter of jointly owning this technology, either don't want it, or buy it out!"
Just kidding, when glass-ceramic, or Gorilla Glass, comes in handy, if the technology is shared ownership, then Corning will definitely try to kick Jiasheng away.
Since Corning now intends to sell this technology, of course, they must strive to buy all of them in order to prevent future troubles, and whether they can jointly own the technology is also their bargaining method, or they are still embarrassed to completely pull down their faces, hehe!
Three days later, Benjamin called again and agreed to completely transfer the relevant technology and technology to Feng Yiping, and offered $30 million.
This price, in fact, is really nothing, but of course, it is not good to agree so happily now, Feng Yiping immediately opened his mouth and paid back 10 million.
As for the transfer price, I talked on the phone for a week, and then Benjamin said, "It's still 30 million US dollars, but the current glass-ceramic is 4 millimeters thick, in fact, it is still a little thick, since you are using it to produce furniture, it is better to be thinner, so that we organize expert public relations, in the short term, reduce its thickness to 2 millimeters, how about it?"
Apple was very proud and arrogant in the domestic market, Feng Yiping has always been a little anti-trend, he has never used Apple's mobile phone, and has always used a domestic smartphone, so he actually doesn't know the thickness of Apple's mobile phone frequency curtain glass, but two millimeters, is it still a little thick?
However, this Benjamin, really for his own sake, actually took the initiative to mention this stubble, reducing the thickness by half while improving performance, which is very simple for a glass giant like Corning, but for other companies, it is really not an easy task.
If Jiasheng gets the technology and optimizes it himself, not to mention the manpower and material resources invested, at least he doesn't dare to say that he can complete this in a short period of time like Benjamin.
"1.5 mm, $20 million," Feng Yiping continued to bargain.
…………
"Happy cooperation!" Buchanan and Benjamin, who exchanged words after signing the agreement, Feng Yiping said as he shook Corning's hand.
It was a very low-key, non-public signing ceremony.
Before the start of school in January, Forexin finally reached an agreement with Corning, and the final price was $25 million.
After the agreement was signed, Buchanan felt, why did his boss seem to be a little absent-minded?
He observed well, with this agreement, Feng Yiping really doesn't care much about other things now, but whether it is in Corning or in the car back to New York, it is not good to be very happy, and it is really hard to hold back laughter!
It wasn't until he returned to the hotel and locked himself in the bathroom that he burst out laughing, "I've finally picked up a big leak!" (to be continued.) )
