Chapter 875: Negotiation Deadlock

Jiang Chen gently pushed the document in front of Pritzker. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pritzker leaned forward and swept his gaze over the paper. When he saw the long list of names, his brow twitched slightly, and he spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"These companies ...... Are you going to buy them all?"

"Of course not, even with the financial resources of the Future People Group, it is impossible to buy all the companies on this document. Jiang Chen waved his hand, and then said, "We just have intentions in this regard. But you know, where you do business, you have to play by the rules of the game. ”

"The rules of the game? That's a matter for the Committee on Foreign Investment, and we at the Ministry of Commerce can't do that far. Pritzker shook his head.

"Mr. Pritzker, let's not beat around the bush, that will only waste our time. You invited us over, surely not just to put the Future People Group through the motions and recite a few hours of opening remarks for closer cooperation with Silicon Valley, right?" Jiang Chen spread out his hand, and then lightly tapped his fingers on the documents on the table, "My sincerity has been placed on the table, I hope to see your sincerity." ”

Although CFIUS involves eight executive branches and seven White House agencies, if there is a disagreement, the president will ultimately need to arbitrate it himself. However, as long as the three major factors of US defense production capacity, the sale and resale of military technology to specific countries, and whether or not it affects the US technological leadership in the field of national security, it is only the Department of Commerce that makes the final decision.

Jiang Chen, who had done his homework beforehand, was keenly aware that Pritzker was avoiding this topic.

This also shows from the side that the Ministry of Commerce has the intention of intervening from it.

Fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the chair, but Pritzker did not reply, and silence lasted between the two for a long time. Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, he had a morning to solve this problem.

The young assistant served coffee to the two of them, and Jiang Chen lightly touched the cup with his fingers and tested the temperature.

At this moment, Pritzker finally spoke, speaking softly.

"The White House would love to see your company work with Silicon Valley companies on technology, but not about your company's efforts to turn your country's high-tech companies into your own...... With all due respect, whoever is president probably won't think it's a good thing. ”

Hearing Pritzker's statement, Jiang Chen was not surprised.

It is better to say that it is already a great achievement to let this cunning Minister of Commerce put the problem on the table and not beat this Tai Chi.

As long as they are willing to talk, it means that there is still a possibility for the two sides to reach an agreement.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and pushed the right chips on his side to the negotiation table.

"As you know, there are not only 1,000+ American companies participating in the SVIEF event, but also 500+ companies from China. ”

"Of course, SVIEF is already geared towards North America and Asia. Pritzker nodded.

"Then you should also know that I am not in the habit of returning empty-handed. Jiang Chen also smiled, raised three fingers, and continued, "I'll just say it directly, the future development direction of the Future People Group is in graphene, intelligent medical care, and cloud technology." If there is a stalemate in the North American market, we will shift our focus to Asian countries that are more willing to work together. ”

Pritzker's eyes moved slightly, although it was very subtle, but Jiang Chen, whose senses were far beyond ordinary people, still caught this small movement very keenly.

Graphene and cloud technology aside, smart healthcare is critical to the federal government.

Since the time of O. Bama, the Democratic Party has been actively promoting health care reform to improve the health care situation in the country. Unfortunately, however, during his administration, Comrade Guanhai encountered the largest fiscal deficit in the history of the United States, accounting for more than 12% of the United States' GDP, the highest ratio of the fiscal deficit to the total economic output since World War II, and had no money to promote medical reform.

Moreover, reforming the health care system has always been one of the most divisive issues between the Democratic and Republican parties, and the opinions of the two parties are clear on the causes and solutions to the sharp increase in domestic health care costs.

The success of the beta-4 medical drone in Penglai City has attracted the attention of all countries. And this time, many companies in the United States are also under the guise of introducing this advanced medical drone.

For the White House, although beta-4 does not help alleviate the world's highest domestic drug prices, it can effectively reduce the cost of medical treatment for the American people. If this convenient and efficient drone is introduced in clinics, Americans will be able to see a doctor as easily as calling the police, and the Beta-4 drone deployed in a community clinic will be just a phone call away.

For businesses, the cost of acquiring a drone is significantly lower than paying a salary for a redundant doctor. For the federal government, it can save a large amount of financial subsidies for medical treatment every year.

While it will certainly be protested by the American Medical Association (doctors' union), it will definitely be welcomed by all "Americans who are troubled by the difficulty of seeing a doctor".

"It's no problem for you to sell drones, the United States is a free market, as long as your products are safe, we won't put too many obstacles on you like some countries. "And graphene and cloud technology are the same. But I don't understand, what does this have to do with your acquisition plans?"

Of course, for the sake of pricing power, but also for the company's own sales resources, as well as some of the technologies that are interested.

For example, if the Future People Group wants to sell the Beta-4 drones to major private hospitals, it is impossible to recruit and send salesmen from Future People Heavy Industries to knock on the door and negotiate one by one. This is not only inefficient, but also rather slow to be rolled out.

As for expecting companies to come to buy on their own, I'm afraid it's even more efficient, after all, not all companies are willing to take that risk to change their existing business model. This is like the reason why most companies are still producing silicon-based electronic devices despite the excellent graphene material in all aspects, and even Intel has not completely stopped the research and development of higher-performance silicon-based chips even if it bought the patent license from Jiang Chen.

When Watt invented the steam engine, it is not that all the textile mills in Great Britain changed their equipment overnight, and even in the later stages of the Industrial Revolution, no one dared to say that the popularity of the steam engine reached 100%.

Let's wait and see, and if your peers use it well, then adjust it slowly, which is the safest way.

In addition, the beta-4 is different from the banned Hummingbird drone, which is completely developed by technicians on the current side, and its own technology content is the most leading. If other companies imitate similar products during this period, even if the effect does not reach the level of beta-4, as long as the sales are good and the price is low, it can still take a lot of market share from the future people.

Only by seizing the high ground of the market in the shortest possible time can the benefits be maximized!

Either seek a collaborator or acquire it outright!

The Future People Group has that capital, and in order to grasp the pricing power, Jiang Chen will of course choose the latter.

From the perspective of beta-4 drones alone, if Futureman Group can acquire a pharmaceutical company, use its own cooperative relationship with major hospitals, as well as its experience in the tablet and medical device industry, to do the promotion of this beta-4, it is definitely much easier than Futureren Group to set up a new subsidiary from beginning to end to be responsible.

The same is true for graphene and cloud technology.

It is precisely because of this that the negotiations between Jiang Chen and the U.S. Department of Commerce have reached an impasse. (To be continued.) )
