Chapter 277: Twists and turns
"Minister, what's the matter, our patent application has not been submitted, this time I have saved 50 million dollars for our Niso company, will I be given a part of the reward, I will take it out and go to the happy ...... with everyone"
When Yui Oyama called his boss again, he asked about the patent, and as soon as the patent application was filed, he could find an excuse to go back and enjoy it.
But he was disappointed, and the voice on the other side did not have any joy, on the contrary, it was very heavy,
"You have worked hard, but we can't apply for patents, although Qianghua did not apply for a patent as a whole, but this patent was divided into one hundred and eight small patents, all of which have been applied, if we want to do plasma, it is impossible to bypass these patents, it is impossible to save one or two, we must buy these patents."
Oyama's hand holding the phone, just let go gently, and held on tightly before the microphone fell, he was a little hard to believe, the answer he had been looking forward to for three days, it turned out to be this, he wanted to go back, but he couldn't go back.
"But, however, they asked for $50 million, a price that we can't accept."
"It's hard to accept, we can only accept, this price, must be pressed down again, according to the habits of the Chinese, you first press down half, presumably this price should be their bottom price, we will contact them again with Pusha Company to see how their color LCD technology research, if they have made any progress, we must take this down." Even if it's 50 million, you have to take it. ”
On the other side of the phone, I kept telling this, and I could only nod my head and say yes. The light in his eyes became more and more determined.
At the same time, Li Jian has returned to Chunjiang, and Qi Cuiping, who is far away on the other side of the ocean and is engaged in promotions with Tang Yang, is discussing with Li Jian about the countermeasures this time.
"You're not going to scare the Japanese away, aren't they even going to buy patents, and they're not going to come after three days. Are you ready to use your technology to directly copy and produce? ”
"They won't be so stupid, such a simple question, they just have to make it. I'm going to sue them, and if they do, I'll have to thank them. Wait until they've advertised. I'll slaughter them completely, don't forget who took out these things, I know more loopholes and mistakes than they do, and then our ads will be the content of the lawsuit winner, and the effect will be absolutely amazing. ”
Li Jian explained to Qi Cuiping, and then asked about the effect of his trip to the United States, after all, no matter how good the operators said at the beginning, it was the real market that counted. Otherwise, the most I can say is that this time the sales are okay.
"This time, yes. It may have been sent, although the product has not yet been officially listed, but these operators who have signed a contract with us have played the advertisement, the effect is very good, the people who come to consult have a long queue every day, and the three consultation calls are about to be blown up, especially the kind you said, the promotion of saving phone bills to send PHS, it is simply too popular, they are willing to pay for two years, get a PHS for free. ”
Speaking of this harvest, Qi Cuiping was overjoyed, she estimated that this trip to the United States would be very effective at the beginning, but although she predicted, she did not predict that it would be so popular, compared with the domestic situation, the biggest difference is that the audience base is different, and the supply of each city in China is in short supply, because the number is controlled.
But even if the number is not controlled, the main consumer group in each city is only the small group standing at the top of the urban pyramid to buy PHS, which is a luxury.
In foreign countries, because the scale of economic development is different, PHS, which also belongs to high-consumption products, in their view, is another part of life and work, so there are many people in demand, from the elite to the middle class and even ordinary workers, as long as they have needs, they can consume.
The difference is only that the people above the middle class can buy it easily, and the working class only needs to grit their teeth to buy, and this price is not completely unaffordable, especially the idea put forward by Li Jian, saving phone bills to send PHS, which is equivalent to depositing money into the operator's account in advance, and the operator uses this part of the money collected in advance to set up a network in the early stage, and the price is just to give the customer a PHS.
In fact, the cost of PHS has already been earned back through the minimum consumption of the agreement, and the operator just collected a large amount of pre-deposits from customers by sending PHS.
These pre-deposits actually solve the cash pressure of operators, after all, the initial investment is still quite large, especially for network construction, which is a huge cash expenditure, and if the general operator invests this money, it is either not enough, or it will drag down the company's cash flow.
Therefore, they generally borrow from the bank, or carry out financing, but both of them have a disadvantage, that is, the profit will be greatly reduced, the former is to pay a huge amount of interest, the latter is to pay a huge amount of dividends, and through the pre-deposit of phone bills for financing, but there is no disadvantage of both, the payment of PHS is actually part of the operating costs.
The most they lose is the ethereal phone bill.
At the same time, the customer who deposits the phone bill has no specific loss, and there is no interest on their part of the money deposited in the bank, and if the amount is too small if the investment is made, it is stored in the phone bill account, and the PHS is worth a lot of money in return, which is equivalent to the benefits of both parties, killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, the popularity of PHS in this market has gradually transitioned from the upper consumers to the bottom consumers, even if PHS has not yet been officially listed, and the towers of those base stations are being installed, and the customers who come to consult are still endless, Qi Cuiping is equivalent to witnessing the opening of a hot market.
Of course, the specific sales Qianghua company is not responsible, she actually brought people to provide technical guidance, but by the way, she was concerned about the market sales situation, and when Li Jian asked, she immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube and said everything she knew.
"Okay, very good, we'll get rich now, but we still have to be stripped off by Tang Yang's kid, hey, it hurts to think about it."
Li Jian exchanged a few words with Qi Cuiping, and then hung up the phone, he was already very confident in the PHS market, what he is most concerned about now is whether his goal this time can be achieved, the efficiency of these Japanese is too low, let that big mountain only I take the information back for three days, they have not sent any news back, will not allow them to register patents in Japan, it will be too tricky.
Thinking of this, even Li Jian was a little nervous, he used the original common sense to speculate that the same patent cannot be applied, but this is in Japan, what if they apply for it under a different name, they will sue the patent office at most, and in the end, although the patent office will lose the lawsuit and lose some face, but Niso can produce for at least a year or two, and they don't need to buy patents from themselves.
If their products can be sold well, they can extract patent fees and compensation from each of their products, and they can also get certain economic benefits, but the penalty for Niso will not be heavy, but the patent office will bear a certain penalty.
But the most important thing is that they sold them patents, just to pit them, their own LCD TVs are now being produced on the production line, two months or even half a year ahead of schedule, and the effect is much better, these plasma TVs are still selling well, and it is good to be able to impact the market of cathode ray tube color TVs plainly.
My own good deeds are in vain.
Li Jian sighed and dialed a phone call to Wang Wei,
"Director Wang, if those Japanese people check out and leave, you can call me in advance."
Now I can only stare at these Japanese, if they don't leave with a word, then they must sue in Japan as soon as possible, of course, the premise is to find Nisso's patent application in the patent office application.
If these Japanese don't leave, it means that everything has not developed in the worst direction, and those people in the patent office should still have face, after all, if this matter spreads, the reputation of the patent office will be very huge, and it will even affect the future of foreign companies to register patents in Japan, they should not be so short-sighted.
Not long after, Wang Wei called back, and the Japanese delegation not only did not leave, but contacted the people from the provincial foreign affairs office, saying that they had recovered from their dizziness and hoped to start negotiations, and apologized for the delay of three days.
Li Jian knew that his worries were unnecessary, after all, the patent office of that island country still knew the difference between long-term interests and short-term interests, and even if Niso Company could give them certain benefits this time, it would not be able to compensate for the long-term impact.
But now that the other party has asked to resume negotiations, it can't follow the rhythm of the other party.
"Director Wang, I'm just worried that the other party's physical recovery is not good enough, there is really no way to start negotiations, they want to return to China for treatment, since they are fine now, that's good, that's good, but I'm not feeling well now, please tell them, I have diarrhea, wait a few days to get better, I can definitely start talking about cooperation."
Since they have waited for three days, they have no other way, they still have to continue to come back to negotiate with themselves, so wait for two more days, although it is useless to wait for these two more days, but Li Jian still decided that this tone must not be endured, although it is the time that he deliberately let the other party delay, it will not work.
