089 Global Auctions
Although his attitude was extremely calm, in the face of the other party's commanding posture, Li Mo had already risen a cloud of anger in his heart.
Not long after returning to his office in disgrief, Li Mo quickly called his assistant and asked directly, "How is the auction arranged?" ”
Because he didn't have much hope for this negotiation before he came, Li Mo was already ready for both, and just before negotiating with these raw material suppliers, another thing entrusted to his company's assistant was also under intense preparation.
It may not be the best decision, but it is indeed the most straightforward and effective way to do that - and that is to hold a patent auction, and it will be done on a global scale.
Now, since they can't convince these raw material suppliers to take their side, they have to scrape together their own money to buy a chemical plant, control the upstream supply by themselves, and avoid hanging themselves from a tree.
However, relying only on the current 20 million working capital of Ugly Fish to build a small and medium-sized chemical plant is obviously not enough to support the supply of raw materials for eight main factories and dozens of new factories that have not yet started, and will face many constraints in future development.
Therefore, if you want to win the right to supply raw materials, set up your own chemical company, and use it to build a new industry, an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan is essential.
At present, the only direct way is to seek large sums of money through partial patent transfer.
Of course, the price is that Li Mo will also lose some of his existing gains.
Patent auctions have become commonplace in the world, but in China it is still a new thing that is in its infancy and is developing with difficulty.
Several cities have held dedicated patent auctions in the past, but the results have been lackluster.
Different from these domestic cases, what Li Mo wants to sell now is not a product patent that has not yet been released or put on the shelves, but two products that have been publicly sold, the original mechanical pencil refill technology and the memory plastic ruler material synthesis technology.
Because of the record of hot sales, many people have contacted Li Mo a long time ago to ask if they are willing to transfer product patents at a certain price, but due to the temporary demand for interests, Li Mo did not choose to sell the hens that lay eggs.
But now the situation is different, Li Mo has won the market awareness or sales channels he needs by relying on these products, and is in a moment where a large amount of money is urgently needed to upgrade the industry.
"We have already contacted two auction companies with experience in this area on Hong Kong Island, one is called 'Huashi' and the other is 'Nabo', the former is a local company on Hong Kong Island, and the latter is a German investment company in Hong Kong.
The newly recruited person in charge reported to Li Mo with a serious face, "And the commission price of both companies is five percent, as for which one to choose, it depends on your opinion." ”
As he spoke, two pieces of information about the two auction companies were handed over to Li Mo.
In Li Mo's opinion, he was purely a layman in this regard, so after his eyes swept over the two documents, he simply replied, "Since the strength is similar, let's choose the local one." ”
"According to the other party's intentions, they also hope that we can send a heavyweight representative to discuss issues such as the auction reserve price, who do you think is better to choose?"
After noting down Li Mo's request, the person in charge continued to explain.
"Then I'll do it myself."
Other matters may be handed over to his subordinates to deal with, but in this matter related to the fate of his own industry, Li Mo still chose to go out in person.
As for whether you can achieve the result you want this time, it can only depend on luck.
According to Li Mo's assumption, he intends to open a single original mechanical pencil refill patent to a price of 40 million US dollars, and now the derivative products of the ugly fish have gotten rid of the shackles of the original refill technology, so the transfer of this second-hand technology will not have much impact on its own industry, it is nothing more than that part of the patent fees of the agents will be handed over to another person.
Another item of memory shaping materials, because its own value is no longer limited to the field of stationery, but also has great development potential and value in other plastic products, so Li Mo gave the auction starting price of this synthetic material patent tentatively set at 500 million US dollars.
After repeatedly determining the patented technology to be auctioned and transferred and its price with the professional R&D team such as Gao Qiang and Qiao Han, Li Mo personally led the high-level army of Red and Black Fish to embark on a flight to Hong Kong Island, officially starting the largest unique financing journey in the history of Ugly Fish.
…
In October, it is the golden autumn season in the north of the mainland, and the cool autumn breeze replaces the summer heat, making people start to enjoy the cool autumn time outdoors.
However, Hong Kong Island, which has a typical subtropical monsoon climate, is still exposed to the sun, so that travelers have to wear sunglasses and parasols to avoid the scorching sun.
The auction company chosen by Li Mo called "Huashi" is located in a commercial office building in the central and western districts of Hong Kong Island, which is also known as the "rich area" of Hong Kong Island, gathering a large number of financial and commercial institutions, which can be called the central urban area of Hong Kong Island.
As soon as he stepped off the plane and changed to a taxi, as soon as he entered this area, Li Mo's eyes were completely overwhelmed by the various logo icons full of capital outside, and the banks, commercial companies, and overwhelming glass wall electronic screens that could not occupy an entire building alone were completely overwhelmed, which opened the eyes of the "sling boss" who had basically never been out except for the trip to Changsha.
"No wonder so many people want to go here to develop, it's simply a paradise for capitalists..."The names of banks, credit, securities, and other financial institutions that the family had never heard of were constantly passing in front of him, and Li Mo couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
If your ugly fish company is here, I believe you don't have to worry too much about funds... Just lean over and pick up the money.
Thinking to himself, it didn't take long for the taxi to stop at the door of a hotel that Li Mo's team had booked before they came.
As soon as the car stopped, a waiter standing in front of the hotel quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
After settling the fare, Li Mo took his luggage and followed the service staff to find their respective rooms.
"Whew~"
After putting the luggage he was carrying in the bedroom, Li Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, and fell straight on the big bed and squinted.
I have to say that this has brought him too many insights, even if he still has a limited understanding of the business system here, but what he has seen and heard along the way makes him feel like he is in another world in an instant, a world that he has been working hard to struggle for so far.
"Jingle Jingle Bell~"
After a while, Li Mo's mobile phone rang, and it was a call from the staff in charge of liaison affairs on this trip.
"Mr. Li, there is a representative of a family named 'Wumart Industry', who said that he hopes to meet with you to talk about something."
The employee on the other side of the phone reported 1510, "The other party claims to be a participant in this auction and wants to meet our top person in charge in advance." ”
Since there are still a few days to prepare for the product auction, in addition to contacting and negotiating with the auction house, Li Mo also arranged some active visits and sales activities during this trip, hoping to get more attention from his products.
It's just that he just arrived on Hong Kong Island, and the first thing he contacted was not an auction house, but an industrial company that he had never heard of, which surprised Li Mo himself.
However, he also immediately realized that in this golden place full of business opportunities, there are also many extremely keen eyes and smells, and it is probably because of this that this capital paradise will continue to give birth to so many companies that seem to get rich overnight or take off in an instant.
With the attitude of being a guest, Li Mo immediately agreed to such a meeting request on the phone, and then ran to the bathroom to quickly freshen up, while secretly guessing what purpose the other party would come to him.
It would be nice to buy the goods directly at a large price, and save yourself from tossing with the auction house...
