Chapter 645: First Authorization
"......" As soon as Han Xue heard that Hong Tao made such a big bet, she secretly waved her hand at Gu Hongde behind Hong Tao, signaling Gu Hongde not to gamble with Hong Tao. She wasn't afraid that Hong Tao would lose the shares, she was afraid that Gu Hongde would lose too badly, after all, the two of them were partners, and it was best not to hurt the harmony because of the vindictiveness.
"Okay, since you're so sure, then I'll wait one more time, can you reveal to me first, what is the next chance?" Gu Hongde understood what Han Xue meant, and did not respond to Hongtao's bet, but chose to back down. But he is still very curious, why is Hong Tao so sure, could it be that there are new products now?
"I can only say that it is still computer equipment, I can't say what it is......" Hong Tao acquiesced to Gu Hongde's guess, and it is also a good thing to give people an illusion appropriately.
"Since you don't plan to expand on a large scale, can you sell me Wanwan's production license?" I'll go to Wanwan to try, and the computer development there is also very fast......" Gu Hongde was still not too desperate, but he said that he couldn't move Hongtao, so he could only turn to the second best thing and make a little more money for himself.
"This ...... No problem, let's not Wanwan, I can give you the product authorization for the whole of Asia, as long as you are busy. Hong Tao pondered for a moment, Gu Hongde's mention was very beneficial to himself.
Anyway, he can't produce so many mice, so instead of consuming it like this, it is better to authorize Gu Hongde to produce it. His family ♂, ww≡w. was originally engaged in this industry, and it is estimated that there is no need to invest anything, just change the production line slightly. Besides, he originally planned to take the road of patent licensing, and selling to others is no different from selling to Gu Hongde.
"My family's factory also has keyboards and mice. It's easy to switch production, since you say the authorization of the whole of Asia. Then you're welcome, don't you regret it?" Gu Hongde didn't expect Hong Tao to be so generous.
"I have only one request. It's better that your products don't flow to other regions on a large scale, only in Asia, I think it's much warmer for the two of us to say goodbye face to face, than that cold contract. "Hong Tao is not worried about Gu Hongde making money, he earns what he deserves, and he earns what he deserves, there is no conflict.
"I can assure you of this right now, if you only give me a one-year license, I don't think I can even meet the local market in Japan and Wanwan. Where there is a surplus to sell elsewhere. Gu Hongde had no objection to Hong Tao's request, this thing was originally indicated in the licensed production contract, even if Hong Tao didn't say it, he wouldn't violate it.
"Then let's sign a two-year authorization, I want to see if your old Gu is more important than money, or more important to integrity, anyway, aren't you still waiting for my next opportunity, I will also let you entangle...... "Hong Tao is simply generous to the end, if Gu Hongde can do the market in Asia, it is also a great good thing for Hong Tao. It is very beneficial to the promotion of this new product, and if you want him to work hard, you naturally have to give some sweetness.
"Don't worry, I won't get entangled. I value both money and integrity and friendship, so shouldn't we talk about licensing fees?" Gu Hongde didn't take Hong Tao's nonsense to heart at all, at his age. If you want to fool and stimulate his mind, it will definitely be difficult to work without some real dry goods.
"The cost issue is still up to Manager Han to talk to you. I only talk about ideals and life, and it's vulgar to talk about money......" Hong Tao is still trying to maintain his image.
"Miss Han...... Then let's be vulgar?" Gu Hongde ignored Hong Tao. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation to Han Xue, and then the two of them sat down separately and began to take out the materials from the Wen Jiàn folder and the leather bag, ready to conduct specific business negotiations.
Hong Tao glanced at Yuria, and then walked out of Han Xue's office. This kind of business negotiation is very long, and it is more troublesome than going to the morning market to buy groceries, and every detail has to be carefully picked over and over. Hong Tao can't do this job, often when he is annoyed, the other party takes advantage of the situation. Moreover, the result of this kind of negotiation is not the final result, but only a preliminary consensus, and the formal negotiation has to bring lawyers and professionals over, and then get together to argue before they can sign and seal.
"I don't understand, if you don't want to make the company bigger, and you don't want to raise money to go public, then what use do I have? These tasks can be done by any person, although I am willing to let me and my parents get a better life, but I want to reflect my value, not to be pitied!" Yuria was biting her lip and getting angry today, but she endured it until she returned to Hong Tao's office and closed the door before the eruption began.
"Yuria, don't worry, now we can say that we are just getting started, and the time when we need you is still to come. You may not know it yet, but now I officially tell you that your parents' immigration application has been submitted, and since you are holding a student visa, you have to go to your country's embassy to apply for it. I want you to come over as an employee, so that I can save a lot of money, no, I should save you a lot of money, because I paid for your parents' application fees, and you already owe me hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hong Tao is not angry with Yuria's feelings, he understands that his style is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and the more professionals it is, the more difficult it is to understand. So Yuria should be angry, she feels that she herself is being slighted and neglected, and this feeling hurts her self-esteem. Hong Tao doesn't need to convince her, he just needs to comfort her and let her know that she is still trusted.
“…… Thank you...... Will you believe me?" Yuria really stopped bothering about the company's expansion, it seems that women all over the world are similar, and sensuality is their nature.
"Well, let's be said to be a preliminary trust, we are still young and have a lot of time together, and I think in the near future, we may trust each other even more. Hong Tao deliberately said it imaginatively.
"Then can I also pay off my debts like Miss Han and Miss Tan?" Yuria's imagination was good, and she reacted immediately, taking small steps around the back of her desk, then kneeling on the carpet again, and slowly falling backwards under Hong Tao's desk.
"That's the question...... I'll consider it, the exact amount...... Why are you under your desk?" Hong Tao had not forgotten his curiosity at this time.
"You like it...... Isn't it? If Miss Han or someone else comes in, you'll be very excited......" Yuria answered Hong Tao's question as she pulled Hong Tao's chair towards her desk.
"What if she doesn't come in?" Hong Tao felt that this Yuria must have been trained in this area, and she had a very accurate grasp of the mental activity of this kind of thing.
"And what about Force? You can call him...... He should be playing his game console next door right now......" Yuria lowered her head, then rolled her big eyes and looked up at Hong Tao.
"Damn! I forgot about him......" Hong Tao only then remembered that Dali was still in the lounge, and then involuntarily felt a kind of nervousness, or a kind of excitement, Yuria was not wrong at all.
Unlike Hong Tao's original prediction, the first manufacturer to be authorized to produce the "Blazer Pioneer" optical mouse is not in North America, but in Asia, to be precise, the two electronics factories in the Gu Hongde family. Within the next two years, they could produce the mouse in their own factory and sell it to any country in Asia, including China. Of course, Hong Tao doesn't think that Gu Hongde can occupy any market in the mainland, if he really sells to the mainland, the price of $130 is a bit too expensive, and it is impossible to grab any market share for him.
Although it is a partner and a shareholder of the factory, Han Xue has no mercy, and the patent fee to be paid for each mouse is 11 US dollars, which is only 2 US dollars less than the licensing fee in North America. Gu Hongde is really helpless about this, Han Xue is invulnerable, and every penny is like cutting her flesh. And Hong Tao, the bad seed, has been hiding behind and not speaking, even if he is caught, he will squeeze out a scoundrel expression, and say that he himself is poorer than calling Huazi, more in debt than Yang Bailao, and more than the daughter-in-law of the king of the Sultan. Anyway, how pitiful and pitiful it is, a big cart of nonsense, just don't mention the price reduction.
In fact, even if he pays $11 for patent licensing per mouse, Gu Hongde still has a lot of profit margins. The main components are made in their own factory, and even the mouse shell can be made by their family, which is nothing more than two more molds. In this way, his manufacturing cost is lower than that in Hong Tao's factory, and the profit he obtains is no less than that of Hong Tao.
However, Hong Tao's money is much easier than Gu Hongde's, he doesn't need to purchase raw materials to produce, and second, he doesn't need to establish channels to sell, he doesn't spend a penny, he doesn't spend a penny, he doesn't spend a little effort, and he bites a large piece of the profit from each mouse, this is the power of knowledge! No wonder in later generations, when it comes to patents or something, they all have a very high feeling, and this thing is simply a money-grabbing weapon.
Of course, other people's patents are exchanged for a lot of time, a lot of money, and a lot of talent investment. Hong Tao has no concerns about this, the inventions he made and did not make are not inventions at all in essence, they should be regarded as a kind of reverse research, Hong Tao only needs to tell those researchers what he remembers, and they will reverse the principle of this object according to Hong Tao's description, which is much less investment and difficulty than inventing a new thing
