Chapter 839: A New Proposal
What Birad means is clear: there is no patent for our underlying technology in TDI turbocharged in-cylinder straight engines. \\\\ You Alice have a lot of cutting-edge technology in your hands for TDI turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engines. But it is impossible to want to produce TDI diesel engines. If you want to build a TDI engine. Didn't say it. It's better to take the money honestly.
My day! Hear Bireid. ZHANG Zongjun; A little bit of anger blew up the lungs. Resist the urge to splash water in front of you on Billed's face: We have much more advanced technology than you do. But we need to spend money from you to buy technology. Is there any mistake?
"So? Didn't ask. "I haven't waited for Zhang Zongjun to speak. Jill had already nodded and spoke. "What Mr. Birad said is very true. Technology costs money. We don't have any opinion on that."
Promised? Hear Jill say that. The negotiating spirit of the Volkswagen Group, including Biraed, is a bit of a trance. It's even a little unreal: so simple to say yes? You won't even agree to what we want? At first you said yes. Can your boss say yes?
"But." It's just that. It has not yet allowed Bired and others to taste the joy of success. Jill has taken another turn. Said with a smile. "As Mr. Bired said. We also have a considerable proportion of advanced technology patents for TDI oil engines. And based on the advanced degree of our technology. We can be bold enough to say. It is impossible for the Volkswagen Group to develop individual technologies in five years, or even within 10 years. According to Mr. Birid, we have no objection to the fact that we need to pay a royalty for the use of the technology of the large group's TDI turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine; But that's not it. We license the technology patents to the Volkswagen Group. The Volkswagen Group will also pay Alice a licensing fee for the transfer of technology patents. As for the price of this technology patent transfer fee - I think. Both families are about to cooperate. I'm really embarrassed to ask for more. So-so, let's set it at three times the cost of the technology patent transfer that the Volkswagen Group asks us for. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Ace. "Cut. What do you think of my proposal? ”
Compared to Birad contains. Jill said a lot more naked: You want money, don't you? Never mind. We are not short of money. How much you want. We give! But it's the same. There is no patent authorization for our technology. The technical level of your TDI turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine can only stay in the current state and can no longer be developed. So. If you guys are going to develop. Then pay honestly. In addition to giving back the money we paid for technology. Twice the price again!
"Fair." Ai nodded. "People spend money on what they need. Very"
Vicious! It's so ruthless! Hear the intimate words between Er and Ace that seem to be in harmony with each other. Bired almost bit his tongue: I'd heard that Alice's personal assistant was not a good one. Now it seems that it is not just a bad response. It's a boulder!
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit deadlocked. All the people are there without talking. Everybody knows that. Whoever speaks first now basically means who shows weakness first. Whoever shows weakness first will show that whoever will suffer. Naturally, no one wants to eat it.
Although a lot of things are said in business negotiations, which is equivalent to farting. But at this time. Billed didn't want to let his fart eat like that: in that case. How much face do you have?!
"It doesn't matter if there is no technical cross-licensing. Presumably, the Volkswagen Group has misestimated the extent of the Alice Group's demand for TDI oil engines. I believe that Mr. Bired also has some understanding of our company's all-ceramic engine technology. I wouldn't mind introducing Mr. Bired again. Our all-ceramic engine is a universal engine. All liquid fuels on the market are capable of combustion. Diesel is naturally not a problem either. "Just when everyone was still at a stalemate with each other. Zhang Lan opened her mouth. "Compared with the large group of TDI oil engines, the oil quality requirements are strict. Our all-ceramic engines don't have this at all. So I believe Mr. Bired understands very well. We can replace TDI oil engine technology with ceramic engine technology. But if the Volkswagen Group does not have a license to our technology. Then the technical development of the TDI oil engine of the Volkswagen Group. That's the end of the estimate. For this issue. Haven't you seriously considered it? ”
Zhang Lan's remarks are just poking at the weakness of the Volkswagen Group: Indeed. Alice Group in addition to TDI oil engines. There are also ceramic engines available for them to choose from. Although the cost of ceramic engines is now high
This is only a temporary phenomenon. The Volkswagen Group is not a fool either. Knowing that the ceramic engine after several years of trials proved to be indeed an engine with excellent performance, and if accepted by the masses. Large-scale application began. Then the cost will drop sharply - the manufacturing cost advantage of ceramic engines compared with traditional gold engines. This is one of the significant advantages of ceramic engines. Anyone who has studied ceramic engines knows this. The Volkswagen Group is no stranger to it: under the same comparable conditions. The cost of ceramic engines. It is only about 60% to 70% of the cost of traditional metal engines. Who doesn't know about cars?
At present, Alice Group has not yet launched its own ceramic engine for passenger cars on a large scale. The Volkswagen Group, of course, has analyzed this. It is not excluded that there are technical reasons. But the biggest reason is that it is not the best time to launch ceramic engines on a large scale. Only after those consumer groups who dare to be the first to eat crabs in the market, like to try new things and are not short of money, have experienced the benefits of ceramic engine technology and have been recognized by them. At that time, it was the best time to promote ceramic engines on a large scale.
And. From the launch of passenger cars equipped with ceramic engines by Alice Group to the next ten years. It is also the most profitable period for ceramic engines. As a technology that is exclusive to you. The Alice Group certainly won't miss this opportunity: no businessman will push the money out of their hands.
However, compared to the ceramic engine technology of Alice (China) Group. The situation for the Volkswagen Group is quite different. Quite embarrassed: all these years. Volkswagen has always pinned its hopes on the technical development of TDI turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engines. That's why we will spare no effort to vigorously promote this TDI oil motive. But if in the present. The way to develop the TDI oil engine by itself has been stuck here. You can no longer make any progress. So the future development of the Volkswagen Group. That's pretty dangerous. ,
So what should you do now? Bired frowned.
It's not just Bired that's wrinkling,. Other negotiators of the Volkswagen Group also frowned: Is it time to compromise with the Alice Group? Although the decision to compromise has already been made. But now compromised. Isn't it too early?
Belch. Although the word "compromise" seems a bit inappropriate. Anyway. It's a win-win for both companies.
Do you want to give in? Bired frowned slightly, and thought to himself: I gave in on this issue. So what about the next question? Although this matter cannot be called a concession. It's just that what I said in my previous speech was a bit too much. But if you don't let it. Look at the Alice Group like this. There seems to be no intention of backing down
Zhang Lan naturally couldn't back down. That's what I said before. In the case that they already have a greater advantage. And if you give in again? Sweat to death. What's the difference between being kicked in the head and being kicked by a donkey? Backed down when the advantage prevailed. It always reminds Zhang of the battle that China and France fought in Vietnam at the end of the Qing Dynasty. 'Lose money if you win?' It just doesn't make sense! Something that is brain-dead to that extent. Zhang Lan thought she couldn't do it yet.
Things seem to have come to an end. The only thing that's different. It was the negotiators of the Volkswagen Group headed by Bired who frowned one by one. And the negotiators of Alice's group, led by Alice - at least on the surface, were smiling. A confident look.
"That's it." Zhang Lan thought about it. Let's break the deadlock first. Bring forward your original plan first. "Let's put that aside for now. There is also no talk of cross-licensing of TDI engine technology. We make things that we can talk about in other areas of cooperation. ”
Something else? People on the part of the Volkswagen Group are a little confused: isn't the purpose of my visit this time to talk to Alice Group about the cross-licensing of TDI oil engine technology patents? Except for this issue. What questions are there to talk about?
"I think. We may be able to work together on a deeper level. "Look at these guys from the Volkswagen Group who are a little confused. Zhang Lan said. "For example. Is it possible for us to take a stake in the TDI engine technology that we own? Cooperate to set up a research institute from TDI engine research and development? Both companies will send their own engine researchers to carry out continuous and in-depth development of TDI engine technology. The technology we have researched can be shared by both of us for free? ”
