37. Countrymen have never seen money
Fly from Los Angeles to Huadu, transfer to Yuzhou, then drive to Linzhou, and then go out of the city from the north of the county seat, driving two kilometers along the township kilometer, and there is a small slope on the side of the road.
At the end of the slope, the first building you see is the old distillery laboratory.
The laboratory is located in the hub of Eurasia, surrounded by complete living facilities, with large supermarkets, hospitals and schools only a 5-kilometer walk away.
Within 150 kilometers, there is a megalopolis with a population of more than 8 million in the main urban area, which is more than twice the population of Los Angeles.
If you want to see the sea, just go straight east for a thousand kilometers and the sun and sand will be there.
Even if you want to go to the moon, it will be only 384,000 kilometers ...
“... It can be said that my transportation here is quite convenient, what do you say, Mr. Cook?" Ding Sheng said nonsense while asking Guan Ju to call up the information of the man in front of him.
Cook is the Chief Operating Officer of Fruit Company.
Fast.
The email was sent out only the day before yesterday, and it came today, although the CEO did not come in person due to health reasons, but he sent one of the most effective cadres, and the degree of attention can be seen.
Okay, it's not that you can't be a small fish and shrimp.
Cook was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect this person to speak English so slippery, and the translation was in vain.
"What should I call you?"
Taking the opportunity to look around the most remote and humble laboratory he had ever seen in his life, this place was, to put it mildly, much more dilapidated than the garage where Old Joe had set up a fruit company decades ago.
It's hard to imagine that this place can make the kind of black technology battery that the email boasts about.
"The surname is Ding. ”
"Mr. Ding, can we get down to business?" Cook came this time with a mission, and this young Mr. Ding was very sharp and didn't seem easy to deal with.
"Okay, I'll show Mr. Cook the finished product first. ”
Ding Sheng pulled out a battery from the mess of materials on the workbench and handed it over, the ultimate version he had reworked yesterday.
In fact, the limited polymer material was replaced with the version of the homopolymer polyvinylidene fluoride, and the performance of the battery dropped by 20 percentage points again, and the cost was further reduced.
It was a deliberate change he made on the fly.
First, the battery capacity has been reduced to the range that these "high-tech" companies can control, reducing the impact of black technology on people.
Second, there is an eternal truth, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Ding Sheng is not Tony Stark, there is no Stark Industry behind him, this is not the Marvel world, the development of technology is not achieved overnight, and people's acceptance of things that are too advanced is almost zero.
As the company's operating officer, Cook can be said to be very familiar with his own products, and he was soon surprised to find that this is very close to the weight and size of the Guo 4 battery he just released.
If there were vernier calipers and scales on site, Cook would even find that they were not very close, but identical.
Although a press conference has been held, the battery specifications of Guo 4 have not been announced at the press conference, and if you want to get specific data, you have to disassemble the machine.
But the mobile phone has not been sold yet, and there are not many real machines in the world at present, how can it be obtained in such a remote area as Huaxia?
Of course, it's not that Cook's imagination is limited, he just would rather believe that the young man in front of him has somehow obtained the real machine of the fruit 4, rather than believe that his company's firewall has been breached.
Motioned to the assistant on the side to bring the battery capacity tester and plugged in the battery in his hand......
The unit price of this plug was enough to go down in history, and it was not until many years later that it was suspected of being surpassed by another man who liked to drink matcha. Because the unit price is related to the number of insertions, the specific number of times varies from person to person, and fluctuates greatly up and down, so the word "suspected" is added to show rigor.
When ordinary people see the value on the battery capacity detector, they are either shocked or suspect fraud, but Cook is a character who has seen a big scene, his face does not change, and he directly asks the most critical question, "How to ensure the safety of such a large-capacity battery?"
Yes, the accident of ordinary mobile phone battery is still somewhat destructive, not to mention this ultra-high capacity large battery, which is simply allowing consumers to carry a small bomb.
In the event of an accident, there are no consequences, only disaster.
Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, Ding Sheng didn't talk nonsense, took the battery from Cook's hand and put it on the workbench, picked up the hammer and smashed it down.
One hammer was not satisfied, and another hammer was taken.....
The faces of Cook and the assistant on the side changed color in fright.
Blow up the calf.
But it didn't blow up...... It's the art master who is bold!
"I have considered the issue of safety at the beginning of the design, as long as we sign the transfer letter, I will give you a detailed technical paper, to ensure that all the technical personnel of your company with a doctorate degree or above in the relevant major can understand it. Ding Sheng threw the hammer casually and crossed his waist.
Regarding the patent of the battery, Ding Sheng thought about only authorizing it, not transferring, and later considering that this technology is in the hands of a large enterprise like a fruit company, it will always be explored in ten or eight years, and there is not much difference between transfer and transfer.
"How much?"
Cook is engaged in operations, and he is too lazy to listen to technical problems, and directly focuses on the key points.
"One hundred million. ”
Ding Sheng stretched out a finger.
"Dollars?" Cook asked rhetorically.
"Of course, I don't mind if you're willing to pay euros and pounds. ”
Based on the authenticity of this technology, Ding Sheng's price is not a lion's mouth, just an acceptable price range after a simple negotiation between Cook and Lao Qiao, and it is even a little cheaper.
After all, it's a person from a small place, and I haven't seen money.
"Okay, but this money will be paid over a period of ten years, and ten million will be paid every year. The reason why Cook did this is actually the same as the fact that the project payment is not settled at once, but a final payment will be left.
Decade?
Ten years from now, I will send you 10 million?
"Then let's not talk about it. ”
Ding Sheng was very decisive and directly raised his hand to send off the guests.
Cook is also a human being, and immediately understood that this period is too long, "Since it is to talk about business, the point is to talk, five years, 20 million per year?"
"I don't send it. Ding Sheng continued to be rigid.
"Two years, fifty million a year. Cook lifted his glasses and took a step back.
"The door is over there. ”
"Okay, the down payment is 50 million, and the last 50 million needs to be settled after our company confirms that the product can be mass-produced, which is my bottom line. ”
"Deal. ”
After the negotiation was settled, Cook flew back to the United States.
In the following week, his assistant and Ding Sheng began to communicate on the details of the contract, and high-end technicians from the fruit company's headquarters arrived in Huaxia to prepare for the patent receipt.
The fruit company is very large-scale company, and has successively helped Ding Sheng apply for a patent for "polymer material polymer battery" in China, Europe, North America and other regions, and then Ding Sheng signed a transfer contract and won the technology steadily.
On the day the contract was officially signed and the down payment was made, Cook and Ding Sheng had a video call.
"Congratulations, youngest billionaire. ”
"Congratulations, owners of the most powerful battery technology in history. ”
When Ding Sheng said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and what he thought in his heart was that it was impossible to be the strongest, and he couldn't even enter the top 500......
"Don't worry, congratulations, our company has just decided not to use this technology for the time being. Cook replied.
"How?"
Spend 100 million to buy it or not, Ding Sheng is really a little curious.
"Our product has an advantage, and consumers can tolerate battery capacity, so as long as you don't let competitors get their hands on this technology. Cook said calmly.
"When will it be used?"
"If you plan preliminarily, fifteen to twenty generations, it depends on when the competing products will appear. Don't tell me, we have a non-disclosure agreement. ”
"Why did you get out of the fruit 4......"
Ding Sheng is still too young, and Marvel has not taught him how to be a businessman for eight years.
Forget it, don't want to.
I'm the youngest billionaire in the world, so I'm going to swell it first.
