"Minister Yuanping's account is not right." Zhou Shuo sneered: "You think, the high-voltage driver IC and IPS technology we came up with can expand the current LCD market by more than ten or dozens of times." But can any of these technologies in Sharp's hands achieve such an effect? ”

Zhou Shuo's words are a little unconscionable, Sharp can make the LCD market so big, does it rely on technologies that can double the market? However, the shopping mall is full of asking for money to pay back on the spot, and what kind of conscience and logic to talk about at this time is brain-dead.

But even if he knew that Zhou Shuo was confusing the concept, Yuan Pingzhu was helpless. Of course, the generation-changing technology Sharp has, but now it's all precipitated. For example, in the 80s, Sharp was the first to realize the technology of a 14-inch LCD display. At that time, wasn't this also a technology that expanded the market of liquid crystal display by more than ten times? But the development of this technology is so complex and risky. I want to come up with this technology right away, but I don't know where to find it for a while.

"Zhou Sang said that, I can't agree with it." "High-voltage driver IC and IPS technology are certainly important, but without Sharp's technical foundation, it is like a castle in the sky and a moon in the water. It can't be said that only these two technologies can make the LCD industry work, right? ”

"Of course, it is undeniable that Sharp has made outstanding contributions to the development of liquid crystals." Zhou Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said meaninglessly: "But that's all in the past, and the future of liquid crystal display technology belongs to these two technologies." ”

"Okay, I'll talk about my conditions." Zhou Shuo was also reluctant to continue to entangle with Yuan Pingsuke, and said directly: "It's okay for Sharp to cooperate if he wants to." However, it can only account for less than 49% of the shares. Only then will we put these two technologies into the hands of the joint venture. Or maybe it's the same as before. People cross-license patents to each other. Sharp willing, willing, choose one of the two options. ”

Yuan Heisuke keenly felt the toughness and disgust in Zhou Shuo's words. It made him a little strange. Sharp is the leader in the LCD industry, and no one can shake this status in a short period of time. Since Fanhan Group and BOE plan to enter this field, why don't they seem to be interested in mentioning it on their side?

This is different from the analysis of the Japanese before they came, judging from the attitude of Chinese mainland towards foreign capital over the years, joint ventures should be their favorite investment method. Now China's "market for technology" is still a very popular theory, Chinese want to build LCD production line, obviously should cooperate with Sharp is a better choice!

Thinking so, Yuan Heisuke was sure in his heart that this was just a Chinese plan to capture the old people.

As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. The justification for national war is more or less similar to that of neighborhood disputes. The skills of business negotiation are essentially similar to bargaining for clothes in the mall.

The suspicious goods are the buyers. If you talk cruelly, it means that you really want to buy it.

Yuan Pingzhufeng smiled lightly: "Zhou Sang can ask for anything, as long as he can talk about it, it will be good." For example, if you are willing to contribute 500 million dollars in capital, Sharp is not impossible. But if that's the case, then Sharp will have to pay royalties for the patent. ”

Sharp's patent fees are not cheap, why are only Japanese companies investing in liquid crystal in the world for the time being? Plainly. It is because several Japanese LCD companies cross-license each other that an alliance of LCD patents has been formed. In this way, the patent fees are offset by each other, so that they can stand on the same starting line as Sharp. Companies in other countries need to pay huge royalties, and the industry has become a chicken rib.

Zhou Shuo refused: "That's not necessary." If Sharp does not have the sincerity to cross-license, we will obtain the right to use the patent through other channels. ”

Yuan Heisuke's face sank, and Zhou Shuo's attitude was too calm. It seems that the right to use the patent can be obtained with nine out of ten. The Japanese LCD Patent Alliance is not monolithic, NEC, Panasonic, Toshiba and Hitachi themselves are also Japan's top electronics companies. It is impossible to be willing to live behind Sharp. Has anyone already approached Panhan Group before? If that's the case, it's a bit of a hassle.

However, this situation needs to be confirmed. It is impossible to make a judgment based on Zhou Shuo's attitude alone.

"Zhou Sang should know Sharp's position in the LCD industry, no matter what you have any plans, it is impossible to bypass us." Hara Heisuke said compassionately: "Even if you want to get authorization from other companies, you also need our Sharp consent. ”

"Then Minister Lao Yuanping is not worried." Zhou Shuo said lightly: "Either maintain the previous investment ratio, Sharp holds 49% of the shares of the joint venture, or the patent is cross-licensed." We will not consider other ways of cooperation for the time being. ”

"It seems that Zhou Sang has no sincerity to cooperate." Yuan Heisuke's face showed a ruthless expression, in the liquid crystal field, no one has been able to speak to Sharp with this attitude: "Fanhan Group thinks that there are two new technologies in their hands that they can sit back and enjoy it?" Haha, naïve! In that case, allow me to retire for the time being. ”

Yuan Heisuke held his head high, got up and said calmly: "But I hope Zhou Sang is mentally prepared, and when you are willing to return to the negotiating table with Sharp, it will not be the condition you are now." ”

"In that case, I'll send Minister Yuanping." Zhou Shuo didn't hesitate at all, and directly ordered the expulsion.

No one could have imagined that Sharp's delegation would not even sit in a hot chair, and that today's meeting would have ended. I saw Hara Heisuke with a black face, and he and Sharp's staff went straight to the rented car, and the group rode away.

Sitting in the car, Yuan Heisuke looked at the campus of Huaqing University outside, looking a little distracted. The atmosphere of low pressure spread in the car, and no one dared to say a word.

"Ruri Kyoka."

"Hi, Minister Harahei!" Ruri Kyoka heard the call and hurriedly responded. Today's negotiation didn't go well, and she was worried that Hara Heisuke would use her as a punching bag.

Yuan Heisuke turned his head, looked at Ruri Jingxiang who was sitting in the back, and asked thoughtfully, "You have been in contact with Zhou Shuo before, what kind of feeling does he give you?" ”

"It's not like a very strong person, gentle and polite, um-" Ruri Kyoka thought for a moment, and then continued: "But I always feel that there is a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away. ”

"Not very strong?" Yuan Pingsuke frowned, how could Zhou Shuo's table be said to be not strong enough today? Dare to argue with Sharp, he has not met such a person for a long time.

He shook his head and pondered, "China's Crystal Dragon Project is very important, and we won't go back to Japan for the time being." I'm going to take a closer look at the situation, do you have any access to information? ”

"Me?" Liuli Jingxiang was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "Minister, I have never been to China before, I'm afraid it ......"

"Well, you have a point, I was reckless." Hara Heisuke nodded, admitting that he was a little anxious. He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll send a message back to the headquarters and ask the administration department to coordinate our relationship in China." In any case, the Chinese cannot be allowed to master liquid crystal technology so lightly. ”

After saying these words to Ruri Kyoka, he turned his head to look at Hikaru Mitsushima, the head of the Technology Development Department. This is a woman with a delicate face, beautiful and unbelievable, she will be a female student who develops technology, she is more like a TV star! However, as long as you see her always indifferent expression, any man who thinks about her will can't help but be a little uncomfortable.

"Mandao, high-voltage drive IC and IPS technology, do you have the confidence of the technology development department?"

Mitsushima Guang was expressionless, nodded stiffly and said: "Minister Yuan Ping rest assured, the technology that Chinese can achieve, of course we have no problem." ”

"Oh! That's great! Hara Heisuke said happily: "I don't know how long it will take you to come up with these two technologies?" We must always be prepared to deal with it before the Chinese put it into production. ”

Thinking of Zhou Shuo's cold attitude, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Since the Fanhan Group doesn't know how to lift, we don't have to be too polite." Of course, it's good to have a patent in your hands, and it's not a big deal if you don't have it. ”

For a company of Sharp's size, trampling on patents isn't too much of a problem. After all, Pan Han Group is only a Chinese company, and its total assets are only a few billion dollars. It's like Microsoft ignoring the patents of small companies, but it's just a lawsuit. The important thing is market share, even if you lose a lot of money, being able to squeeze out competitors is a victory.

Of course, this is in the case of a large difference in size between the two sides. For example, no matter how domineering Microsoft is, it is impossible for him to ignore a large enterprise like Oracle in the same way that he ignores a small company.

In Hara's view, the Pan Han Group obviously cannot be said to be on a par with Sharp. The gap between the two is probably much bigger than that of Microsoft and Oracle.

Hikaru Mitsushima lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "With the principle of knowing, it will take at least a year to develop these two technologies. ”

This is also the reason why many technology companies were reluctant to apply for patents in China in the early years, and the principles must be written in the patent application, which is equivalent to guiding the direction for latecomers. Many high-tech technologies do not apply for patents anyway, and the Chinese cannot come out with copycats. In that case, there is no incentive to apply for a patent.

It's just that as a weak party, if you don't apply for a patent, you won't even have a chance to go to court. The lesser of the two rights is the lesser of the two rights, and the Panhan Group has registered a patent in Japan.

Of course, this can't stop Sharp's infringement, but it can be used as a fulcrum for leveraging the vested interest system in the mall...... (To be continued......)
