Chapter 1333: The contract takes effect
However, Kong Fandong was quickly relieved, of course he understood that this was not a slave, but on this patent, Shi Lei needed to make some restrictions on him.
The word slave is just Kong Fandong's intuitive reflection after Shi Lei said the eight words "what I say, what do you do".
Shi Lei actually didn't expect Kong Fandong to say such a word, but his reaction was quick and he quickly made adjustments, using a light and light way to make Kong Fandong feel that it was a joke.
But Shi Lei chuckled slightly in his heart, if this contract could be changed from the executor that Shi Lei expected to become a slave, it seemed to be even more perfect. As long as Kong Fandong can verbally promise such a contract, it will take effect directly on the black card.
The black card doesn't care if you're joking or whatever, it will directly determine that Kong Fandong and Shi Lei signed a contract between a master and a slave. Moreover, this contract will take effect immediately once it is signed, which will also cause the intimacy between Kong Fandong and Shi Lei to reach one hundred in an instant.
But no matter what, Shi Lei still has to give some explanations for this, otherwise, although Shi Lei just resolved Kong Fandong's worries, since Kong Fandong said the word slave, he will inevitably leave a pimple in his heart.
So, Shi Lei said with a smile again: "Uncle Kong, I don't think I think if you don't say it, but when you say this, haha, it seems to be true." At least, it seems to be a bit of a slave when it comes to matters related to this patent. Haha......"
Although Kong Fandong thought it was a joke and laughed, he couldn't help but feel a little dry in his laughter.
"I just blurted out that I've been reading books about the liberation of South America for the past few days, and at that time, there were a lot of black slaves there. There's a line in the book that says, 'What do you do?' so when you said that sentence just now, I immediately thought of it. ”
After a pause, Kong Fandong said again: "It's just a joke, right? ”
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Of course it's a joke, could it be that I can really expect Uncle Kong to be my slave?" Originally, this patent was only five to eight years ahead, and it was a maximum of ten years to be relaxed, so I will continue to develop it, and I hope to maintain the lead of more than five years while the companies in the same industry are catching up with us, at least, to try my best to delay the gap between them and us to be narrowed. However, the situation is different now, and it is conservatively estimated that this patent will also be 15 years ahead of its peers in this world, and if you are lucky, it may reach 20 years. So, it doesn't make much sense for me to continue R&D now......"
Kong Fandong nodded, he could understand Shi Lei's thoughts.
Indeed, there is too much lead for further research and development, because it is difficult to take this technology to the next level in the short term.
With the update rate of modern technology, in fact, it is a cycle of five years at most, such as some information technology, and it is a cycle of 18 months, or less. The fifteen-year gap is almost like a unit that transcends the distance of an entire solar system and reaches light-years.
In the face of such an absolutely huge gap, continuing research and development is actually just throwing money at it.
Shi continued: "But due to the emergence of emerging technologies, the world is now in a process of accelerated research and development on this technology, and I can't be sure when it is more appropriate to start the next step of research and development." Only you, the future business commander, know this and make the most appropriate decision for continuous development. So, our original plan had to be changed. And since you may also give up the follow-up research and development of this patent and change course, I must maintain a contractual relationship with you as you said, the villain first and then the gentleman. ”
Kong Fandong basically understood what Shi Lei meant, and he no longer had any vigilance in his heart, he said: "What Shi Shao means is that once in this process, I don't take the initiative to carry out follow-up research and development of this patent, and you feel that when you have to continue to invest, you can let me fulfill the contract, right?"
Shi Lei nodded and said, "That's basically what it means." ”
"What about the cost of follow-up research and development?"
Shi Lei raised a finger and said, "There are two ways. First, I will issue follow-up funds, and I will also keep absolute follow-up on R&D, so this patent and subsequent R&D results still belong to me. ”
Kong Fandong's heart moved, according to Shi Lei's words, as if the ownership of the patent could still be completely changed.
So, he tentatively asked, "What about the other way?"
"The other way is that Uncle Kong, you are responsible for all the follow-up R&D expenses, but you remember that all the rights to whether to develop and when to start R&D are mine. As long as this patent is in the lead, everything will have to listen to me. How much to invest, and how to invest, must also be up to me. And in this way, what you can get is that once the patent itself has been caught up by other companies in the world, the newly developed part belongs to you...... Or more accurately, it seems to belong to our company. ”
After hearing this, Kong Fandong suddenly felt very painful, Shi Leika's death was too dead, both ways have advantages and disadvantages, which makes it difficult for Kong Fandong to choose.
In the first way, this patent is always controlled by Shi Lei, although it will not have any impact on the company for the time being, and the follow-up R&D investment will also be completed by Shi Lei, Kong Fandong does not seem to have any risk.
However, this will always make him worry that if Shi Lei has a conflict of ideas with him, this patent may bring the entire company to a halt.
After all, this is an extremely critical step, and Kong Fandong is really unwilling to let such a key technology be completely controlled by Shi Lei.
In the second way, Kong Fandong will take back the initiative in the future and will no longer be constrained by Shi Lei.
However, R&D investment and so on, everything has to be decided by Shi Lei, and the amount of capital invested is decided by him, which is tantamount to handing over the financial power of the enterprise to Shi Lei to a certain extent. Only Shi Lei's decision not to invest in follow-up research and development funds can be used for the company, which is a bit too passive.
Kong Fandong looked at Shi Lei with a wry smile: "There is no third way?"
Shi Lei shook his head, Kong Fandong also understood that in business, Shi Lei could not make more concessions.
After thinking about it carefully, Kong Fandong said: "The second one...... However, I also have one condition. ”
Shi Lei smiled with interest and asked, "You say." ”
"I hope that the twenty-year usufruct that we talked about at the beginning is still valid, which means that you can't take back the right to use this patent for any reason in twenty years. ”
Shi Lei laughed and said, "This is no problem." ”
Kong Fandong said: "Okay, then I'll call a lawyer to come over and draft the agreement and ...... Well, the contract. ”
Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "You can get the agreement slowly, and the contract, I only need a verbal promise from Uncle Kong." ”
Kong Fandong was stunned, such a big thing, just make a verbal promise?
Of course, he couldn't understand that the verbal contract was exactly the same with Heika, and if he dared not fulfill the contract, Heika would naturally punish him.
"I just need to promise about the execution of this patent itself, and I, Kong Fandong, am your slave Shi Shao?"
Kong Fandong also made a joke.
But Shi Lei nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, the contract takes effect, everything is as you wish." ”
