Chapter 564 High Technology Licensing Fees

As the second country in the world to realize the wireless power project, the country of sticks prepared a grand ceremony for the completion of the Tower of Light. Although www.biquge.info is not satisfied with the fact that the Light Tower is lower than the Hope Lighthouse, the people of the stick country still regard it as their pride.

"Although the first to achieve wireless power coverage was Penglai Island, in terms of significance, the Bright Tower is better than the Hope Lighthouse. The Hope Lighthouse covers just over 2 million people, while the Bright Tower covers nearly 300 million people! The largest newspaper in the country of sticks, Dong-A Ilbo, boasted.

"The country of sticks is at the forefront of mankind!" This is a comment published by the "JoongAng Daily", and the content is still the Tower of Light.

The newspaper is still like this, let alone the Internet, and the masses who don't know the truth read it and think that the stick country has gone to heaven.

"The country of sticks is still this virtue." Lu Yang browsed the Internet on the plane and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"Boss, don't you dislike the country of sticks, why do you want to cooperate with them?" Tao Lele, one of Lu Yang's assistants, asked cautiously.

Lu Yang turned off the Polaris projection, leaned back on the comfortable sofa and replied with a smile: "The money in the stick country is also money, why don't you make it?" ”

Tao Lele scratched his head and said with a very cute expression: "I don't think the boss is the kind of person who just wants to make money, you must have a deep meaning in making this decision." ”

"What do you think?" Lu Yang asked the other three assistants.

Dong Pan packed up the information and sat aside: "I think the boss is to promote wireless power, so he didn't hesitate to cooperate with the stick country." If wireless power is realized all over the world, our company will be developed! ”

The other two assistants, Kong Yu and Ma Tianming, agreed with Dong Pan's statement.

"Dong Pan is generally right, I have a plan to popularize wireless power in the world, but this is not something that can be promoted by the stick country. Wireless power is the trend of human social development, just like the transition from direct current to alternating current, it is a matter of time. Lu Yang said.

"In that case, boss, why are you cooperating with the stick country?" Dong Pan asked puzzled.

"Haha, of course it's to make money." Lu Yang laughed twice, "You guys, you just think too much." I admit that I don't like Stick Country, but that doesn't mean I won't do business with them. Bangziguo may not have much affection for Huaxia, but they still have to compete to enter the Huaxia market, which is the same reason. ”

Tao Lele and the other four assistants looked at each other, they had been Lu Yang's assistants for two years, but they still couldn't guess Lu Yang's thoughts.

Huo Sheng arrived in the Bangzi Country ahead of schedule and accepted the Guangming Tower with Samsung and other Bangzi Country consortiums. The Guangming Tower received too much attention, and no one dared to do anything about this project, so the acceptance work went very smoothly.

Before Lu Yang arrived, Huo Sheng had already arrived at the airport, and after the two met, they took a car to the pre-arranged Shilla Hotel.

"Lao Huo, how did the stick country arrange, looking at their posture, it was very grand." Lu Yang looked out from the car, and the whole of Busan seemed to be celebrating a festival.

Huo Sheng said with a smile: "The president of Bangziguo and many cabinet members have arrived in Busan, including Samsung, six of the top ten consortia have sent heads, and in the eyes of Bangziguo, the lighting ceremony of the Guangming Tower is their grand event." ”

"Don't be so exaggerated." Lu Yang shook his head and said he didn't understand.

"Boss, it's about the economy of the Stick Country. Since 2008, the country's GDP per capita has been declining, a trend that previous presidents have failed to change. An Zhelong, who came to power this time, is very courageous, and the expectations of the people of the stick country are very high. Huo Sheng said slowly, "The Angelon government has held the Bright Tower very high, and the people's expectations are also high. As for those big conglomerates, they may have long taken a fancy to the fat meat of the wireless power market, and they are waiting to grab it! ”

Lu Yang smiled: "It's quite interesting...... Lao Huo, tell me about the project. ”

"Okay, boss." Huo Sheng sorted out his thoughts, "The Guangming Tower project has now been completed, with a construction period of 12 months and a total investment of 62 billion US dollars. At present, the Gwangmyeong Tower has been connected to the Busan Nuclear Power Plant and can be ready for wireless energy transmission at any time. Once officially put into use, it will provide wireless power for the entire country of the stick country......"

Lu Yang nodded from time to time, but he was thinking about how much Penglai Island would profit from this project.

"Regarding the reception of wireless power, we have reached an agreement with several major consortia in the stick country, and Penglai Energy Company will license them for energy analysis technology, and they will produce wireless power receivers, and we will charge authorization fees according to the type of receiver...... Huo Shengdao.

"How do you collect it?" Lu Yang asked.

"Roughly speaking, the cost of licensing the technology is equivalent to 5% of the price of the appliance used, and the price of a single product of wireless power receiver can be as low as $1 and as high as $100, with special products being counted separately." Huo Sheng said.

Lu Yang was suddenly taken aback: "Lao Huo, they all agreed to such conditions?" ”

Huo Sheng nodded solemnly: "The agreement has been signed." ”

Lu Yang silently gave Huo Sheng a thumbs up: "Well done!" ”

Being praised by the boss, Huo Sheng was very happy, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect the result of this negotiation with Bangziguo. Actually, this condition is not our bottom line. According to our estimates, there is a demand for more than 1 billion wireless power receivers per year in the country alone, and that's just for home customers. If we add enterprises and government users, the annual technology licensing fees handed over to us by the stick country will not be less than 50 billion US dollars! ”

Lu Yang asked Pangu to estimate, and the result was similar to what Huo Sheng said.

"This is only the first stage, in the future, with the popularization of wireless power in the stick country, the demand for wireless power receivers will increase, and our technology licensing fees will also rise, and even reach 80 billion US dollars!" Huo Sheng's eyebrows fluttered and said that with this stable income, Penglai Energy Company can do more things in the future.

"Lao Huo, when you said that when you signed the agreement, did Samsung think of this?" Lu Yang asked suddenly.

Huo Sheng calmed down and said, "We have also studied this problem, and I think they should have thought of this problem. ”

"In that case, why would the other party agree?"

Huo Sheng's eyes narrowed: "We have made an assessment, after the implementation of the Guangming Tower plan, Samsung and other stick country consortiums have received more than 120 billion US dollars from it, which may be the reason why they are willing to pay a high price." ”

"This may be part of the reason, but definitely not the whole story." Lu Yang pointed outside, "You see that the Stick Country values the Bright Tower Project so much, how can they not have ideas about wireless power technology?" No matter who you are, you will not let the things you value be in the hands of others. ”

"Boss, you're saying their purpose is our technology?" Huo Sheng exclaimed.

"There's a big possibility." Lu Yang judged, "What the stick country is doing now may be to paralyze us." It's not normal for them to offer such a high price, and if you want to say that you have no purpose, the ghost doesn't believe it! ”

Huo Sheng nodded secretly: "Boss, I will be vigilant and optimistic about wireless power technology." ”

After staying in the hotel, Lu Yang learned about the wireless power receivers produced by Samsung, and at present, almost all electronic products have wireless power versions, from trains to cars, to household appliances, and smart electronic devices. Hyundai Group is also working on electrically powered ships, while Samsung has launched wireless power smartphones, which it intends to sell in the country and in Fuso, Huaxia.

"It's quite well prepared...... Lu Yang muttered.

The next day, Lee Jae-yong visited Lu Yang at the hotel in the morning, and after that, the chairman of Hyundai Group, the head of LG, and the head of SK Company arrived one after another. The four major consortia are quite dominant in the country of sticks, not to mention wealth, and their political influence is also very large. The reason why the Tower of Light project went so fast this time was because of their push.

The heads of the four major consortia visited, without exception, they all wanted to cooperate with Penglai Island. After a short contact, Lee Jae-yong invited Lu Yang to participate in the night's drinking party, and Lu Yang smiled and agreed.

"Boss, are we going to work with them further?" After sending the four people away, Huo Sheng asked Lu Yang.

Lu Yang took a sip of water, shook his head and said: "The exclusivity of the stick country is too strong, and these four consortia are all multinational companies, and with their cooperation, we will not get the market of the stick country, and there will be several more international competitors, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Huo Sheng said: "If that's the case, the stick country should be in a hurry." For example, Samsung Electronics, although they are still ranked second in the world, but the gap with Huawei is very small, if Samsung does not break through, next year or the year after, Huawei smartphone sales will surpass Samsung, and this is because Huawei has 3D display technology. ”

"No wonder Lee Jae-yong is so eager." Lu Yang smiled unconcernedly.

"It's not just Samsung, it's Hyundai. Hyundai used to sell very well in China, but now it is about to be squeezed out of the Chinese market. Huaxia's automobile companies are at the forefront of the world in electric and intelligent vehicles, and have begun to export on a large scale. If it weren't for the policy protection of the stick country, we would have been able to see Huaxia cars in Busan. ”

"It's a good thing, and it's worth a drink." Lu Yang said with a smile.

"It's good for us, but it's not necessarily good for the country of sticks. The country is an export-oriented economy, with a narrow domestic market, and its development mainly depends on exports, with steel, automobile, shipbuilding, electronics and other industries as its pillar industries. Because of the development of Chinese enterprises, the total export volume of the country to China has declined for five consecutive years, especially mechanical and electrical products, with a decline of more than 40%. On the other hand, China's exports of mechanical and electrical products to the stick country have grown rapidly. I have heard that the country is ready to impose further restrictions on this in order to protect the domestic industry. (To be continued.) )
