Pulling BHP Mining Group into the chariot is definitely a beneficial and harmless choice for the Future People Group. Although these old European aristocrats may not be able to win in the financial field compared to big conglomerates such as Rockefeller and Morgan on Wall Street, their power in some areas should not be underestimated.
For example, commodities, such as the automotive industry, and so on......
After the ore supply negotiations were over, Jiang Chen personally put Luke Joyce on the plane. The agreement with BHP Group on the development of mineral resources in Mindanao is undoubtedly good news for the future of human heavy industries, which continues to increase production capacity.
The next day, just as Jiang Chen was about to return to Xinguo, someone from Intel came to the door.
The visitor was Brian Krage, and when it comes to this "legendary" EO, we have to mention the prediction he made three years ago. Krzanich, who was promoted from OO to EO at the time, defined four core areas of growth for Intel: P, Digital Center, Mobile and Chip Manufacturing Technology. And boldly predicted that in three years, major manufacturers will completely abandon the ARM architecture of competitor Qualcomm and switch to Intel architecture.
However, the horror of Intel's chips has caused it to suffer a crushing defeat in the mobile device market, and repeated ticket bounces have also made it a good opportunity to compete.
l also told investors that it would develop an SO (integration and application processor) for low, mid, and high-end smartphones and tablets, but Intel failed to launch these products on time and was eventually completely killed.
Billions of dollars were poured in, but nothing came of it, and Intel was secretive about it, and it didn't give investors a good explanation.
The breakthrough in graphene materials of Future People's Heavy Industry not only made Intel feel vigilant, but also made Ke Zaich see a turning point. If Intel can enter the field of graphene first, it will undoubtedly have the opportunity to win back in the mobile market.
"We hope to obtain your company's authorization for a total of 271 patents on semiconductor graphene and graphene transistors at a reasonable price!"
He was ready to start a "tug-of-war" of negotiations with the Future People Group, with at least five pieces of clothing in his suitcase. The recent "large-scale procurement" of the future human heavy industry in the international community will naturally not fail to attract the attention of Intel Corporation. They are clearly going to enter the field of electronic equipment production!
From this point of view, Renzhong Heavy Industry will definitely become their competitor in the future. Obviously, it will not be easy to negotiate this patent licensing project.
But Krage also has hole cards in his hand.
If the future of Renzhong Industry maliciously refuses to grant patents, it is a monopoly with conclusive evidence!
However, contrary to Ke Zaiqi's expectations, Jiang Chen said very generously: "No problem. ”
"What, what?"
"I said no problem, meaning we can talk about this, is there a problem with my grammar?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Ke Zaiqi coughed lightly.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a little distracted. ”
"What do you think is a reasonable price?" Jiang Chen didn't care and returned to the topic.
"$100 million?" said Ke Zaiqi tentatively.
"We have invested $2.1 billion in the research and development of graphene materials. You want to buy it for $100 million, isn't it a bit too vexatious?" Jiang Chen lied without blushing and heartbeat.
With 2.1 billion shit, a full set of graphene production equipment will cost no more than a few hundred subcrystals.
However, it is not easy to say about this matter, who wants to be the only one who can cross the two worlds, Jiang Chen? The exchange rate of the currencies on these two sides is naturally only in his own hands.
Ke Zaiqi twitched his brows, he already had a premonition that Jiang Chen was going to open his mouth. But who wants the scientific research team of the Future People Group to kick this in the door first? According to the research department of Intel Corporation, it will take at least two years to complete the research of this semiconductor-type graphene.
"And how much do you say?"
"$400 million," Jiang Chen stretched out four fingers, paused and added, "Every year." ”
"$400 million a year! Are you crazy? Are your patents made of diamonds?" said Ke Zaiqi angrily.
"Graphene is far more expensive than diamonds, and of course, I mean commercial value. Jiang Chen smiled, "Think about it, how much money have you already spent on graphene material research, and how much will it cost? Do you still think this patent authorization is expensive?"
"That means that over the next 20 years, Intel will pay you a total of $8 billion!"
"What does it matter? Will Intel, which has a net profit of 20 billion a year, lack this money?" Jiang Chen spread his hands, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. I believe that the day after tomorrow at the latest, people from Qualcomm will come to talk to us......"
Forcibly enduring the pain in his flesh, Ke Zaiqi immediately said.
"Deal!"
Qualcomm is Intel's sworn enemy, and if Qualcomm is allowed to seize the opportunity, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Intel to compete in the big cake of the mobile market! Even if it is two days, Ke Zaiqi must buy time for Intel's researchers, preemptively develop a graphene chip based on Intel's architecture, and give Qualcomm a heavy blow in the mobile market.
As Jiang Chen said, $400 million is really nothing for a behemoth like Intel.
Backed by the largest Rockefeller consortium in the United States, Intel is far richer than they seem.
At the end of the day, with the patent licensing contract in hand, Krzych boarded the plane back to California that day. Almost as soon as Ke Zaiqi left, representatives from Qualcomm arrived in the New Malaysia Special Economic Zone and wanted to talk to Jiang Chen about patent licensing.
Negotiations with Qualcomm were also completed on the same day, and after hearing that Intel's representative had obtained the patent authorization, Qualcomm's representative did not blink an eye at the $400 million annual patent fee, and directly said the deal. So much so that Jiang Chen secretly exclaimed that it was a pity, judging from the fact that they traded so quickly, this price could be opened at a high point again!
Xia Shiyu was surprised that Jiang Chen ended the negotiations so quickly, so she called over and expressed her confusion.
"If we want to enter the field of graphene chips, why not delay the patent licensing negotiations with Intel and Qualcomm for a few months? ”
"We've been ahead of the curve long enough, and the samples of graphene chips and the design of the production line are now in the real room, and when the acquired subsidiary completes the reorganization, we
Anyway, on graphene chips, the Future People Group will be ahead of them. (To be continued.) )
