Chapter 252: Give you a nine-percent discount
Gao Zhendong and Jin Zhizhang were overjoyed, they never dreamed that it would be so easy.
I thought it would take a lot of effort before Zhao Min agreed, but I didn't expect that as soon as he spoke, Zhao Min agreed. It seems that the more than an hour of waiting just now was worth it.
Suddenly I felt that I had misunderstood Zhao Min just now, and now it seems that this woman seems to be much cuter.
"Mr. Zhao is really refreshing." Gao Zhendong smiled, the depression just now had already been swept away, and his mood was refreshed.
"Huh." Zhao Min smiled slightly: "I am a businessman, and my main task is to make money." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yu: "Go and print out the authorization agreement." ”
"Okay." Xiao Yu tapped his head, turned to leave, and not long after, he entered the reception room with a freshly printed agreement.
"This is the authorization agreement for the smart assistant." Zhao Min handed the authorization agreement to Gao Zhendong: "You can take it back and read it, I feel no problem after reading it, and you can sign it at any time." ”
Gao Zhendong took over the agreement smoothly, and now it seems that the other party is more anxious than them, which is a good thing for them, indicating that they have the opportunity to take the initiative in future cooperation.
The agreement is in English, and after the female assistant next to Gao Zhendong took the agreement, she began to look at it carefully.
Not long after, the female assistant's face changed slightly, handed the agreement to Gao Zhendong, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Gao Zhendong, who was originally in a good mood, immediately froze on his face with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Min asked strangely.
The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth next to her also smiled, and she found that it was a waste for Zhao Min not to act.
"Mr. Zhao, is there a mistake in this agreement?" Gao Zhendong took a deep breath and said, calming his mind.
"What's wrong?" Jin Zhizhang also looked at the female assistant.
The female assistant put the authorization agreement in front of Jin Zhizhang and pointed to one of the terms on it.
After seeing the content of the terms, Jin Zhizhang's face, which was still a little proud, froze, and his cheeks twitched, and immediately turned cloudy.
Originally, they were in a good mood just now, but after seeing the requirements of the agreement clearly, their mood was like heaven falling into hell, and they felt like they were being played.
"Did you print the wrong agreement?" Zhao Min looked at Xiao Yu.
"No, it's the authorization agreement for the smart assistant you said." Xiao Yu blinked her eyes and said, her face was a little ruddy, she didn't have Zhao Min's skills to pit people and do nothing.
"That's right." Zhao Min looked at Gao Zhendong: "Is there anything wrong with the agreement?" If there are any questions to ask. ”
"The license fee is 21.4% of the price of the whole machine? Isn't it a little too high? Gao Zhendong asked through gritted teeth.
Such a high licensing fee is obviously a sign that you don't want to cooperate.
This is not good news.
"Is it high? As far as I know, at present, a $400 smartphone costs $50 for Fi, and our smart assistant charges $85, which doesn't seem to be inappropriate, right?
85 US dollars, it is more than 500 Huaxia coins, which is quite a one-time purchase of a two-year smart assistant, and you will be given it until the mobile phone is broken, no matter how you calculate it, it is a good deal for you. Is such a price high? Zhao Min said a little 'dazed'.
"Mr. Zhao, you can't count it like that, right?" Gao Zhendong was holding a sulk in his heart.
Originally, Zhao Min said that he wanted to authorize them, and he was happy, but he was hung in the air just now, and he couldn't go up or down, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
"That's not how it is calculated, so you tell me how to calculate it?" Zhao Min asked 'curiously'.
"Mr. Zhao, we are not buying a small number of individuals, but all mobile phones, all of which must use this technology. When buying in large quantities, there must always be a factory price, not a container price, right? ”
Gao Zhendong was almost angry with Zhao Min, he didn't believe it, Zhao Min managed the marching ant company to its current scale, and he didn't even understand these things, obviously deliberately looking for trouble.
"Is that what it counts?" Zhao Min said in surprise: "Then I'll give you a nine-percent discount and charge you 19.2% of the price of the whole machine." ”
"I ......"
Gao Zhendong had an urge to burst into foul language at the moment, but he was forced to go back.
"This price is already very low, and Mr. Gao doesn't accept this price, so we can't talk about it." Zhao Min said.
Is it low? Is this price low?
19.2% of the price of the whole machine, even if it is calculated according to 3500 per mobile phone, they have to pay nearly 700 yuan for the patent fee of a mobile phone to the marching ant company.
The entire profit of their mobile phone is not so much. Even if the price increases, they don't get that much profit. If the licensing agreement is signed, all the profits of their mobile phone business will fall into the pocket of the marching ants, which means that they work for the marching ants.
"Mr. Zhao, this price is too high, we can't accept it, we will give up to 3% of the price of the whole machine." Gao Zhennan said: "3% is already a lot, according to the price of our mobile phones, on average, how can it exceed 100 yuan, according to our annual mobile phone shipments, you will at least increase your income by at least more than 23 billion per year." ”
"Sounds tempting."
"Indeed, our company's mobile phone shipments last year were the first." Gao Zhendong said with a little pride.
"It doesn't matter to us how much you ship." Zhao Min shook his head and pointed to the agreement in the female assistant's hand: "The authorization agreement has been given to you, 3% is impossible, and the price will not be lower." ”
"Mr. Zhao, is there no other way? Or you authorize us to disclose the code of the smart assistant to us, and we can consider giving you a fee of 10% of the price of the whole machine. Gao Zhendong looked at Zhao Min with some expectation: "Our annual shipments of mobile phones exceed 200 million units, and it is a mid-to-high-end market, so there is a lot of money in it." ”
"Huh." Zhao Min smiled unabashedly and sarcastically: "With such a little money, you want our smart code? Isn't it too good at dreaming? ”
The technology of their intelligent assistant has not been patented, the technology is not disclosed, many people want to get their intelligent code, and there have been espionage incidents before, but no one has ever succeeded.
Just like a seismograph, Chen Mo wanted to apply for a patent for a seismograph, but she stopped her. The advantage of a patent is that it has a legal monopoly for a certain period of time, but it means that the core technology is disclosed, and in the end it is someone else who is cheaper.
Now the core technology of the marching ant company has not been disclosed. Maybe the people above know some of their artificial intelligence technology, because Chen Mo used to trade with them, and she also knows it.
Gao Zhendong wants to use this money to set up the code of their intelligent assistant, which is a dream.
The person who can see the complete intelligent code in the company is Chen Mo alone. Other R&D personnel only have the power to access the code of a module, and it is not the core code.
"Mr. Zhao, I heard that your licensing fees for other companies are not so high." Jin Zhizhang said with a frown.
He knew that Zhao Min was probably much more tricky than he imagined.
"Who is this?"
After the robot translated Jin Zhizhang's words, Zhao Min set his eyes on Gao Zhendong.
"He is Jin Zhizhang, our deputy head of marketing." Gao Zhendong said.
"You know that I have given licenses to other companies for less than that? Who do you listen to? Zhao Min asked.
The licensing agreement is kept secret, and it is impossible for people from several companies to casually say these things to others, otherwise she would not mind terminating the authorization.
"Guess! It is impossible for any company to afford such a high licensing fee. Jin Zhizhang said.
"And then? What do you want to say? ”
"By doing so, you are abusing the dominant position of the monopoly market, right? Wouldn't it be nice to deliberately suppress us? Jin Zhizhang frowned, and his tone was a little displeased.
After hearing the robot's translation, Zhao Min smiled and stared at Jin Zhizhang: "Monopoly? Suppress? I think a lot. And then what? Do you want to sue us? ”
“……”
"Mr. Zhao, let's take this authorization agreement back and take a closer look at it, and then contact you after deciding. However, this license fee is indeed too high, and it would be good if it could be lower. Gao Zhendong hurriedly spoke, interrupting Jin Zhizhang, who was just about to speak.
Jin Zhizhang's personality is a bit arrogant, and Zhao Min obviously wants to provoke him. This is the headquarters of the marching ants, and if there is a conflict, they must be the ones who will be embarrassed. Once there is a problem, it will definitely be worse for their Samsung mobile business.
"Little demon, send off a few guests." Zhao Min said to the little demon next to him.
"Okay, President." The robot stood up, looked at Gao Zhendong, and said in Korean, "Gentlemen, ladies, please follow me." ”
