Chapter 726: The sky-high asking price

Mr. Kim, we hope that you will want us to transfer your technology patent for the next-generation turbine, as well as your 8AT automatic transmission patent, of course, in terms of cost, you can see the price

After some temptation, Hemut went straight to the point, and when he put forward the conditions, he seemed very simple, not dragging his feet at all, and there was still a slight hint of arrogance in his tone

And the attitude of the Germans on his team's side is the same, although everyone regards Huayang Power as a negotiation opponent of the same level on the surface, but the faint aristocratic arrogance in his bones still makes Jin Xiaoqiang and his negotiation team feel very annoyed

What's so special is that you obviously want us, but it's as if we are begging you, and you can even negotiate the price so arrogantly, do you really think of yourself as a green onion?

Especially the guy Muller sitting next to Hemut, this guy is an expert and senior manager in ZF, and he once came to Germany to deal with Jin Xiaoqiang when he first created Huayang Power

At that time, Huayang Power hoped to get their 4AT transmission patent license from ZF, although Huayang Power had the ability to directly produce this 4AT transmission, but after all, in terms of patents, these old companies have set a lot of traps

Therefore, in order not to cause disputes at that time, Jin Xiaoqiang still had to spend money to buy such a production patent license from ZF

At that time, Jin Xiaoqiang and his Huayang Power were nobodies in the automobile world, and Jin Xiaoqiang still remembers how much face this Mr. Muller gave himself at that time and how many stumbling blocks he gave himself

At that time, he did not have a dedicated negotiation team, and in order to prepare for the negotiations with ZF, he took Alice and the two of them in Germany and almost broke their legs

In the end, a special team of business negotiations and lawyers was hired in Germany to start negotiations with ZF, and the negotiation process was very simple, a total of 15 days, but at that time, Mr. Müller didn't even seem to have looked at himself, opened his mouth a few times, and shouted the price indiscriminately, one of which already seemed a little outdated, and broke the 4AT patent, and finally he was stunned and shouted the sky-high price

Because he was restricted by others in terms of patents, Jin Xiaoqiang had no choice but to endure his anger and talk with them for fifteen days, and finally spent a lot of money to buy a large number of parts from them, so he reached a patent technology transfer with them for part of the 4AT transmission

Later, it was not until they made a breakthrough in the dual-clutch transmission on the Qoros car series that ZF saw that there was no way to limit Huayang Power in terms of automatic transmission, so they took a bite of Huayang Power and completely opened all the technical patents

For Jin Xiaoqiang, this matter is a great shame and humiliation, and it is the biggest loss he suffered in the business world after he was reborn, so he has always remembered the 'benefits' that ZF brought to himself

Now, ZF and BMW have found their own door, wanting to transfer their patented technology, and they are talking to themselves with such an attitude, whether they have taken the wrong medicine

Well, well, well, two billion euros, what do you think

Thinking of this Mueller's attitude towards himself back then, Jin Xiaoqiang was angry, and now he is sitting next to Hemut, obviously Hemut's senior staff, and their arrogant attitude still makes Jin Xiaoqiang very angry, so let them sober up now and see who is asking for someone now

What Mr. Kim, are you crazy

Hemut almost jumped out of his chair when he heard Jin Xiaoqiang's offer, what kind of international joke did he make, and you want two billion euros for the transfer of two technology patents, why don't you grab it

In the past, when some large automobile manufacturing companies in Europe or the United States made breakthroughs in the research and development of a certain technology, they often claimed to the outside world that we have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the research and development of this patented technology, and spent a lot of money, and the total cost is less than XXX million US dollars/euros and so on...,

It seems that hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent, but if you carefully analyze their expenses, you will find that most of their expenses are actually spent on human resources, and as for the cost of venues and enterprises, it is actually only about half, which is already a lot

After all, for a big equipment manufacturing country like them, it doesn't cost much to manufacture those equipment, and the cost of manufacturing such experimental equipment, especially for companies like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, which have very strong automatic hematopoietic and manufacturing capabilities, is generally lower, and the funds they spend on those experimental equipment are generally based on market quotations or are falsely estimated by themselves

So they tend to be intimidating when they announce the cost of a technology R&D, but strictly speaking, they don't spend that much money at all

After all, this kind of mechanical research project is only a more in-depth and detailed research on the basis of the past, unlike innovative research in a completely new field in the field of medicine or electronics, so the cost does not need to be so large at all

And Hemut and Jin Xiaoqiang, who participated in the negotiations, are well aware of this, just like Jin Xiaoqiang, they announced to the public that the total cost of their research and development of this 8AT is almost one billion yuan, but in fact, it only cost two or three hundred million, and Jin Xiaoqiang and Hemut are very clear about it

But now Jin Xiaoqiang's lion's open-mouthed behavior really surprised Hemut and made him feel uncomfortable at the same time

Isn't it true that you people in the Celestial Empire have always paid attention to asking for money to pay back

You kid is asking for such a random price, are you playing with me?

And Hemut didn't notice that the high-level Muller from ZF who was sitting next to him was also one of the important figures in this negotiation, and his expression at this time was very subtle, because he knew very well why Jin Xiaoqiang asked for such a price, because a few years ago, when he negotiated with Jin Xiaoqiang, who was still unknown at the time, his attitude was exactly like this, and even his asking price at that time was more ruthless than the current Jin Xiaoqiang

Mr. Hemut, please pay attention to your wording, and if you are not negotiating in good faith, then please do not waste your time

Jin Xiaoqiang is obviously very dissatisfied with Hemut when he says that he is crazy, who is crazy, why are you crazy, your whole family is crazy

The current Jin Xiaoqiang is not the unknown pawn a few years ago, but now Lao Tzu is a world-renowned automobile design master, with the name of Albert Einstein in the automotive industry

Now you have a request for me, but not me, you have a request for you, if you want to, then continue to talk, if you don't want to, then there is no need to continue talking

Anyway, the companies that want these two technologies in my hands now are not only you, BMW, but Audi and Mercedes-Benz are waiting on the side with their necks stretched

Jin Xiaoqiang's face was not good, and Hemut immediately noticed that he was indeed out of shape just now, but it was the same for anyone, and it would be the same for anyone who changed it, and whoever changed it would have blood pressure rise when he heard such an offer

Two billion euros, what are you kidding, Hemut is willing to bet that with the cheap human resources of the Celestial Empire, Jin Xiaoqiang will definitely not use up even 200 million euros to develop such two technologies

But he doubled tenfold with one mouth, this guy is too ruthless, who is this special, who is not sincere, and he doesn't bring such a rake when he fights it

Please forgive me for being reckless, Mr. Ekin, I didn't mean that

But just now, he was really out of shape, how could he say it casually in that case, and even if he scolded in his stomach, Hemut immediately apologized for what he just said

This negotiation is bound to be successful, you must know that Huayang Power is now in the automotive industry, although the momentum is fierce, but after all, the scale is limited, they have not even been able to complete their domestic market, the unification of the country in the international market can only be said to be just starting, some momentum

But compared with the old big companies, there is still a big gap, so now it is possible to cooperate with them to overwhelm people, if once they grow up, they want to take advantage of the situation to suppress people, I am afraid it is not very easy to use...,

And their two new technologies are indeed very attractive, in the past, BMW was disdainful of turbocharging technology, but now since you want to play, you must play the best, but in particular, now the best technology is in the hands of Huayang Power, if it goes on like this, BMW will not have to play in the future

And their 8AT is also a special weapon, this Frankfurt Motor Show, several high-end cars of Huayang Power are out of the limelight, especially the hot sales of their Skyline Light series, but Mercedes-Benz and BMW are red-eyed

Now, with the hot sales of these two products, they have even set a benchmark in luxury high-end brands, that is, if you claim to be high-end, then you must be equipped with 8AT, otherwise you are nothing

I believe that if I don't talk to Huayang Power now, in two days, Mercedes-Benz's bastards will find Huayang Power's door, so I must reach a deal with them before Mercedes-Benz finds Huayang Power

Well, Mr. Jin, do you see if the price can be lowered a little?

Hemut asked tentatively

Then how much do you say it will go down?

Jin Xiaoqiang's smile was very playful

How about half a billion euros

Hemut has already shouted a very real price
