Chapter 487: A Request
Liuli Jingxiang looked at the surrounding scenery with some surprise, and asked Qi Dashu: "Dashu Sang, is this the highest university in China?" ”
Huaqing University has a history of nearly a century, but it really has this heritage. Even if you are accustomed to seeing the famous universities in Japan, Ruri Kyoka can feel the abundant academic atmosphere here.
What status a country can have in the field of science is almost a footnote to what position it can have in the world. Even a small country like Sweden can take its place among the nations of the world with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Qi Dashu grew up in the imperial capital city since he was a child, and this Huaqing University is too familiar. He immediately nodded proudly and said, "Huaqing University is our best university in China, and it is almost equivalent to the University of Tokyo in Japan." ”
Of course, Qi Dashu didn't say that there is an imperial capital university, which is also the first-class university in China. It's just that many of the country's leaders are from Huaqing, and the Imperial Capital University is faintly inferior in this regard. In this regard, it cannot be said that he is wrong to think that Huaqing University is the best university.
"China's Dongda!" When Ruri Jingxiang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
To say that Huaqing University has been built for nearly a century, the scenery is indeed extremely beautiful. Now it is the end of the college entrance examination, although college students have been on vacation, there are many college entrance examination students who come to visit. These young students wandering around the beautiful campus can also make people more energetic. Looking at those students who linger, you can intuitively feel the charm of Huaqing University.
When the car made by the two arrived at the destination, Liuli Jingxiang also saw the plaque hanging at the door of the Jinglong base. Brand new large letters on it. In her opinion, it is really very imposing.
"Crystal Dragon Project ......"
Although Kyoka Ruri is Japanese, she still knows some kanji. Simplified Chinese even guessed. You can get an idea of what you can get to know about it. What's more, the word "LCD" in Japanese is exactly the same as Chinese simplified characters. The meaning of the dragon character is also the same in both countries, and Ruri Kyoka has no difficulty understanding the name.
It's just that when she really saw an institution researching liquid crystal technology in this highest university in China, she knew in her heart that the task she came to this time might not be so easy to complete.
"I just hope that China's LCD industry can realize the change of the carp jumping over the dragon gate, oh, does Miss Jingxiang know the allusion of the Chinese carp jumping over the dragon gate?"
Ruri Kyoka looked at the young man who came out of the door, calling his name in pure and fluent Japanese, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously nodded: "I know." It tells the story of the carp of the Yellow River in China that can transform into a dragon when it crosses the Dragon Gate against the current. ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect Miss Jingxiang to really know. I'm Zhou Shuo from Fanhan Group, the person you want to meet. ”
Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand with a smile, but he didn't want Liuli Jingxiang to cover his mouth in surprise and shouted, "You...... Are you Zhou Shuo? ”
"It's a fake." Zhou Shuo nodded helplessly, spread his hand and said.
"But you're too young, aren't you? Looks like you're about the same age as me? "Ruri Kyoka looks like a monster. She looked him up and down.
Ruri Kyoka still did some homework before coming, and the news in Japan is not so closed as in China, and she can get a lot of reports about Zhou Shuo directly from the United States. Not to mention the Internet, Six-Ear IM and Yahoo are very famous. A $2 billion deal with AOL just broke out some time ago. It's really not too easy to look up some information.
In the first half of this year, Yahoo was successfully listed, and by August it had been listed for four months, with a market value of more than $500 million. So Wall Street looked up Yahoo's investment. Only then did I find out that the largest shareholder actually belonged to Zhou Shuo's wholly-owned Liuer Network Company!
Yahoo's listing directly increased the company's market value by 100 million US dollars. However, Wall Street's brokers' keen sense of smell played a role. Continuing to dig deeper, it turned out to be a terrifying discovery. This little-known company actually holds a lot of shares in the future of the Internet!
Amazon, eBay, AOL, and the American version of Dianping.com, which was born in history but was born by Zhou Shuo, Wikipedia, which was born in advance, and many garage companies have investments from this company.
As long as you are not a fool, you can basically judge that this is a venture capital fund in the skin of an Internet company. Nominally, although the company belongs to a Chinese-American woman named Yu Qiong. But anyone with a head knows that behind this person is Zhou Shuo, the founder of Six Ears Software. And Zhou Shuo's other identity is the chairman of Panhan Group.
Looking at it this way, Liuli Jingxiang naturally understands that the young Chinese man in his twenties standing in front of him is actually a billionaire worth billions of dollars.
And in the face of such abundant capital, no matter what nationality, age, or gender, Liuli Jingxiang as an ordinary person will already feel great pressure.
On the contrary, Qi Dashu, who accompanied Liuli Jingxiang, only knew that the other party should be the boss of a large company. But how big the Pan Han Group is, this is not the scope of his concern. Anyway, everyone is Chinese, who is much more noble than whom?
But when it comes to the reverence for capital, the Chinese are born with the spirit of "the marquis of ten thousand households in the dung"!
"Hello Boss Zhou, I'm Qi Dashu, Miss Jingxiang's translator." The men of Sijiu City have never lost in momentum: "The Panhan Group is such a big business, even the Japanese have come all the way to come." ”
"Hehe, where, let's eat together." Zhou Shuo smiled modestly.
"Come in, you two, let's talk about something inside."
Liuli Jingxiang followed the two of them into the reception room of the Jinglong base, and when she saw that Qi Dashu could talk to Zhou Shuo without being humble or arrogant, peach blossoms were about to pop up in her eyes. But fortunately, she still remembered the purpose of her visit to China and immediately got into work.
"Hello Zhou Sang, I am Liuli Jingxiang, a staff member of the LCD Industry Department and the Technical Reserve Department of Sharp Co., Ltd. in Japan, and this is my business card."
Ruri Kyoka bowed deeply and handed out her business card with both hands. Zhou Shuo took it seriously, which means that he recognized her identity and could communicate on business.
"Miss Jingxiang has worked hard from afar, please take a seat." Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and changed it back to Chinese.
"Thank you." Liuli Jingxiang listened to Qi Dashu translate Zhou Shuo's words, and asked strangely: "Since Zhou Sang can speak Japanese, why don't you talk in Japanese?" ”
Zhou Shuo glanced at Qi Dashu lightly and said with a smile: "Since Miss Jingxiang represents the Sharp Company, from a business-to-business perspective, I shouldn't use Japanese." ”
"Okay, then." Liuli Jingxiang is actually an ordinary employee, where do you know what international business practices, what Zhou Shuo said makes sense, and she is just a guest.
Of course, this is also a reason in Zhou Shuo's heart. It's just that the exchange with Ruri Kyoka is destined to be a difficult negotiation, and Zhou Shuo doesn't want to give up the initiative to the Japanese at the beginning.
"We at Sharp have noticed that Pan Han Group has registered two patents in Japan, one is a patent for a high-voltage driver IC for liquid crystal panels, and the other is a patent for an ISP plane conversion screen."
"That's right, the patents for these two technologies are in our hands." Zhou Shuo nodded.
Ruri Jingxiang was a little hesitant, should she say her intentions directly? From the moment she got the information of the Pan Han Group, she had a hunch that her task might not be too easy. Will a Chinese company like Pan Han give in to an offer of $10 million?
Now that Zhou Shuo has appeared in Huaqing University, China's highest university, it is clear that this Jinglong project is also actively developing liquid crystal production technology. This makes it even clearer that these two technologies should not be accidental by-products of scientific research, but the core technologies of the other party.
How big is the LCD market, and it is impossible to persuade the other party to give up this research and development with 10 million US dollars.
However, after all, she was only a staff member of the technical reserve department, and after thinking about it, she said carefully: "Regarding these two patents, Sharp intends to acquire them. I just don't know if Pan Han Group is willing to negotiate on this issue? ”
She didn't dare to say that she only had 10 million US dollars in her hand, and wanted to hear Zhou Shuo's offer first. After all, there are still some flukes, maybe you can really pick up a leak?
Zhou Shuo tapped his fingers on the table and didn't speak for a long time. He is also thinking in his heart, how attractive are the two technologies of high-voltage driver IC and IPS screen to Sharp?
From the perspective of industrial development, of course, it is a technology that cannot be changed. But there is no technology in the world that money can't buy, not to mention that for Sharp, the mood to get these two technologies may not be so urgent.
Don't forget, Sharp is now the undisputed king of the LCD market. The global LCD market, which has at least 40% of the share, is already very advanced in technology, and has also entered the profit harvest period.
At this time, Sharp's most hope should be to ensure the stability of the LCD market. A stable market is conducive to Sharp's expansion and harvesting, and there is no need to be too anxious about technological progress, and the market must be completed in a stubble before investing in the next generation of technology. Only latecomers and companies that want to expand in the market can't wait to upgrade their technology.
Because only in the unstable dìng of market renewal, there is a chance to rise.
Sharp may not want to leave to apply these two technologies to products, but it should really want to ensure the stability of the LCD market, which is the most in its interests.
Zhou Shuo's voice knocking on the table suddenly stopped, and he suddenly said, "Sharp wants to get these two technologies?" No problem, just meet one of my requirements. (To be continued......)
