Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Seeing that Song Chen was unmoved, Nobuyuki Idei praised: "Although you haven't learned business negotiation, you can do it with ease, it's amazing!" You were a little wrong just now, Sony Music does control the network, but this network is incomplete, because we are suffering terrible routs and setbacks in the area of digital copyright! Because Napster survived and continues to torment us! ”

Song Chen smiled and did not speak.

Although the RIAA successfully got the court to issue an injunction against Napster and gave a deadline, it successfully appealed to Napster on the day the deadline was about to expire and asked the Court of Appeal to stay the enforcement of the injunction, and now Napster can continue to operate in the same way for the time being, pending the formal decision of the Court of Appeals.

This means that it will be difficult for copyright giants to drive Napster into a dead end this year! Therefore, although Nobuyuki Idei's rhetoric is a bit exaggerated, it is not hypocritical.

Song Chen's footsteps paused, turned to face Nobuyuki Idei, and then said word by word: "If we can cooperate, I believe that the problem of napster will be solved soon!" If things go well, I'll take care of this trouble for you! ”

Nodding, Nobuyuki Idei glanced back at the two secretaries and four bodyguards who were following Song Chen unhurriedly, and he said, "I don't know why, I'm full of confidence in you, just like Masayoshi Son!" Even so, we still have doubts about the percentage of sales shares, and I hope you will think about this carefully! ”

Song Chen pondered for a moment, and said: "If we make concessions on sales sharing, I hope that you and Mr. Andy can give up the idea of cooperating to open the encoder, and our Chenxing Technology will provide the best digital copyright system solution, I am very persistent in this matter!" ”

There is no need to ask Song Chen how much concession he makes. Nobuyuki Idei handed his hand to Song Chen with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Then, let's arrange for the directors of Chenxing Technology to come to Japan, I will look forward to this cooperation!" I can't wait to know about the cooperation between Chenxing Group, which has high-quality network resources, and Sony Corporation, which has copyright resources. What a wonderful prospect it can bring! ”

Song Chen vigorously shook Nobuyuki Idei's wrinkled hand and said with a smile: "You will soon see the powerful power that the cooperation between us can unleash, and I am convinced of this!" ”

"I'm also looking forward to Chenxing Technology's new products! You care so much about encoders, I'm afraid it's just for this little thing, right? Nobuyuki Idei smiled.

Song Chen's face stiffened with a smile, and he nodded: "Yes!" Press briefing on August 1o. I hope you'll join us! ”

"I will!"

Seeing Jing Shinyuki's car leave, Song Chen said to Zeng Qian, who was following him: "With Andrew? Let's get in touch with Freeman, let Freeman talk to Sean? Fanning they talk! ”

Zeng Qian nodded, and suddenly asked worriedly, "Do you really have to do this?" Once Chenxing Technology's acquisition of Napster is successful, it will undoubtedly attract the most firepower from RIAA and global entertainment giants, if they still have concerns. Our decision will make them bite us hard without hesitation! ”

Song Chen said with a smile: "Ah Qian, although Napster is still struggling now, it has actually completed the historical task of stirring up the digital copyright market, and the biggest enemy of the riaa and entertainment giants is no longer this company!" They know that, and that's what I use! ”

"As for the lawsuit!" Song Chen paused, and then said with a smile, "Although the cost of dealing with litigation in Europe and the United States is very high. But if the litigation costs are converted into the marketing costs of 'iPod' and 'iTunes', I think it's still acceptable! What's more, once Sony reaches a cooperation agreement with us, the situation will force them to bow to me, and it is not certain whether this lawsuit can be fought! ”

Fan Xue asked, "Since you think that Napster is a remnant and won't live long, why do you want to buy this company and get into trouble?" ”

Laughing and hugging the two beautiful secretaries, Song Chen said proudly: "Money is not a problem!" Time is of the essence! I want Napster's millions of users and experienced engineers, these are Napster's real assets! ”

"Once I've finished negotiating with the music giants, I've got a strong hole card in my hand! Take this. The American Chenxing Group can really gain a foothold in the United States! ”

……

Chenxing Building, Dongou, China.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In our great vision, our main business is Ming and Ming Investment, and strive to build the value chain of intellectual property on a global scale! Create an investment market for Ming! We recruit scientists for creative ideas. Apply for a patent; At the same time, we also acquire ...... with potential investment value from companies, universities, scientific research institutions and individuals."

In the 1,000-square-meter conference room of Chenxing Group, two foreigners explained their ideas to more than 20 company leaders, and the professional translator sitting on the other side completely interpreted their intentions.

They are former executives of Microsoft, and through the introduction of Yu Wenjie, general manager of Hong Kong Chenxing Holdings, they came to Dongou to seek cooperation and financing.

Baidu CEO Zhu Tiejun suddenly interrupted the other party's display, took the microphone and asked: "It sounds like the behavior of patent trolls, but Mr. Miwald, your intentions don't seem to have anything to do with our Chenxing Group!" ”

Zhai Yan glanced at Zhu Tiejun quietly, and did not speak: Strictly speaking, Phoenix Capital's actions coincided greatly with the other party's ideas, but Song Chen, who has always attached importance to patents, seemed to ignore the business of "organizing scientists".

"The reason why we came to Dongou is mainly for two purposes!" Former Microsoft Software Architect Edward? Jung said with a little excitement, "First, as far as we know, Chenxing Group has a considerable patent reserve, and has a large number of key patents in search and online payment, a considerable number of which will be approved, which is very valuable for investment; Second, let's seek cooperation, as we all know, Mr. Song Chen attaches the most importance to the reserves of the patent pool, and he has a large amount of cash at his disposal! I think we can work together! ”

"In other words, you're here for financing?" Li Mingren raised his eyebrows and asked.

Nathan, former Microsoft Tech Officer? Miwald nodded calmly: "Yes." But you, Chenxing Group, are not the only potential investment, Microsoft has a close relationship with us, and they will provide us with operating funds! In addition, we have sent project proposals to more than a dozen technology companies such as Cisco, Nokia, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, etc., and they are very interested in our business! Chenxing is the most powerful group in the Internet field. I hope we can be a pair of wings for your company in international affairs! ”

The other party's self-confidence and hints made all the high-level executives present feel a pang in their hearts: what a big deal!

Zhai Yan groaned: "Gao Zhiming, as a start-up company that is not yet famous, you are full of confidence, I appreciate it!" However, it is important to note that we have no intention of selling any of our patents to your company, even if it is worthless! But. Intellectual Property Minghe Investment in this market is indeed a new business that no one cares about, and we are very interested! There is only one question, whether we, as a shareholder, can we obtain your company's patent authorization for the patents developed by Gao Zhiming himself or acquired patents from third parties? One-way authorization! ”

Nathan? Miwald raised an eyebrow. He was very surprised and said, "Of course not! Just like we don't ask shareholders to grant us patents, we don't sell patents to shareholders! However, although we cannot sell patents, if shareholders need to use Gao Zhiming's patents for defense, we are of course willing to provide them for a fee! ”

If this is the case, Zhai Yan suddenly lost interest in investing.

Instead, Wang Xiaoxue asked in very fluent English: "If this is the case, it will be difficult for us to become interested in this project." Because we know where to invest our money to make a lot of money! However, we still have to ask, how much money do you need to raise? How much equity can we get? ”

Edward? Jung said: "As an IP management company that does not use listing as a means of financing, we do not set a cap on capital, so in principle, the more money the better! However, the maximum equity of a single shareholder is generally not more than 3o%! ”

Zhai Yue asked, "How much money have you raised?" ”

Nathan? Miwold muttered: "The intended investment has reached more than 20 million US dollars! Among them, Microsoft and Cisco provided 10 million and 4 million respectively! ”

Zhai Yan muttered: "I need to have a discussion with the company's CEO and CTO (Xi Technical Officer) about your project, so I can't give you a positive answer for the time being!" Maybe you can stay in China for a few more days and taste the local food! ”

"We will!" Nathan? Miwold smiled and nodded, and said again. "If I can, I would like to meet Mr. Song Chen, I believe that with his vision, he must be very interested in our Tiyì!"

"We're interested!" Zhai Yan said in a deep voice, "But I have to tell you with regret." Mr. Miwold, Mr. Jung, you are not the first person to present this blue ocean of intellectual property, as early as 98 years when our chairman was still unknown, this market has appeared in urgent need of development! And we did it a few months ago! At the time, you may still be working for Microsoft and haven't made this investment yet! ”

Nathan? Miwald and Edward? Jung was taken aback and asked in unison, "Really?" ”

Not only were they surprised, but the other executives of the company didn't know about this action, so they all looked at Zhai Yan, but Song Chen's lovers didn't seem surprised. Zhai Yan nodded, and said lightly: "This matter is directly responsible for the group's finance department, and the operating funds are of course far more than the more than 20 million intentions that Gao Zhiming verbally said!" Since this matter has nothing to do with the group's existing operations, there is no need to tell you! ”

Saying that, Zhai Yan said lukewarmly to Nathan? Miwald and Edward? Jung said, "Sirs, there are many clever people in the world, so you don't have to deal with us with these false tricks!" If you have the opportunity, we will help you, you can wait for our news at the hotel! ”

As she spoke, Zhai Yan waved her hand and motioned for Jiang Xiaoqing to invite them out.

Although he will be suspicious, Song Chen's talent is well-known sharp, so Nathan, who was originally full of confidence? Miwald and Edward? Suddenly, like defeated roosters, Jung and his interpreter departed in disgrace.

After they left, Zhai Yan looked at the young man not far from his left hand and asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you think of this project?" ”

Zhai Yan's question surprised all the executives present again: doesn't it mean that the group has done a good job of investing in this aspect?

Shen Yufei, the executive officer of Alipay, asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhai, didn't you just say ......?"

"This matter is actually in charge of the Hong Kong manager Yu Wenjie, which is indeed the chairman's suggestion, but although he has dug into the value chain of this intellectual property, he does not know how to handle it! It's like he gave us the job! ”

Zhai Yan's rare humor made the executives present smile heartily.

Zhai Yan continued, "After listening to their presentation, I realized that we seem to lack someone who can dig deep into the core value of this project!" ”

"You want to recruit them?" Shen Yufei hesitated.

"If you can!" Zhai Yan nodded.

Shen Yufei shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's impossible, as they said, their mention has already won the support of other software and hardware Internet giants, and it is difficult for us to dig them out!" So, it's best to find a way to control this company and send someone to understand how they operate! ”

"Do you have any other opinions?" Zhai Yan asked the other managers present. But as she said, the managers present basically didn't understand Gao Zhiming's specific operation methods, so they were cautious and didn't rashly make suggestions.

"Let's do it first! Before deciding to invest, let me ask our chairman what he means! ”

Zhai Yanyan said. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
