266 Motorcycle Service Soft, the largest technology export project in China
Looking at Xie Yang's expression, whether it was Alex or Gan Jianing, they didn't know what to say.
It's a little embarrassing to tear your face.
No way.
Xie Yang doesn't play cards according to common sense, what can they do?
"Thanks, your offer is a bit too high......"
Alex instinctively brought it up, hoping to drive down the price.
Although, deep down, he thinks that this price is not particularly high compared to the market potential brought by technology.
Drive a hard bargain.
Who wants to spend more money if they can use it at a lower cost?
As a senior executive of Motorola and one of the shareholders, you must not only consider the attitude of the company's board of directors, but also how much money you can get.
The lower the cost, the higher the profit.
"Mr. Alex, I said it at the beginning, don't bargain......"
Xie Yang directly and rudely interrupted Alex's bargaining, making it clear that he would not accept the bargaining.
"As the first company to put mobile communication terminals on the market, Motorola should know better than anyone else about the potential of the market. Analog signals are not stable, and you should be well aware that no matter how much you improve, you can't match the communication quality of digital signals...... I think Mr. Alex is very aware of that......"
Xie Yang looked at Alex and said unceremoniously.
What price Motorola can give, Xie Yang actually has no bottom in his heart.
But he knows better that among all the companies that want to buy Yanghong technology, Motorola is the most affordable price.
None of them.
Motorola made a lot of money on analog cell phones.
It is also full of confidence in the future market.
According to the development of history, Motorola has been the industry hegemon in the entire mobile communication field until the era of smart phones, and finally fell in this field only because it misjudged the potential of smart phones.
No way.
Just because Motorola has done too well in the field before smartphones.
They simply don't believe that mobile phones will one day replace computers.
But before that, Motorola was still very keen on the market potential of mobile communications.
"Thanks, that's too high. As you know, digital signal is an emerging technology at present, and the market potential is indeed great, but the whole market needs to wait for the construction of base stations, and the construction of signal networks around the world requires a lot of investment......"
"The problem of the base station should not be considered by our mobile phone manufacturers, right?"
Xie Yang looked disdainful.
Motorola is also a supplier of switches.
It's a pity that in the area of mobile digital signals, one step is wrong, and every step is wrong.
"If you need switch-related technology, we can help contact Warwick, of course, Warwick I also have a part of the shares, in fact, through the digital signal switch in our hands to invest in their company."
Xie Yang smiled.
What?
Both Alex and Gan Jianing were completely dumbfounded.
They had been investigating Warwick's background.
But this company was originally only an agent for imported switches.
After reaching a cooperation agreement with He Qiubei, I learned the background of Huawei, which is also a suddenly rising switch supplier.
But they didn't know that Xie Yang had a stake in Warwick.
"Of course, you can also buy technology from us, after all, we didn't sign an exclusive agency contract with Huawei at the beginning, after all, we have a patent certificate in our hands......"
Xie Yang's smile was even brighter.
But Gan Jianing was dumbfounded.
Alex's breathing became rapid.
I never thought that the switch technology that transmits mobile signals is also in the hands of Yanghong Technology, and it also has a patent certificate.
How is this going on?
"Add it up, how much do you want?"
Alex took a deep breath and asked Xie Yang.
When he asked this, he was ready to be stabbed.
"300 million dollars! No bargaining! โ
Xie Yang still calmly spit out the number.
It's like it's just 3 bucks.
It was Alex who was in a quandary.
As a senior executive delegated to handle the matter, he was well aware that this was no longer a matter for him to decide alone.
Fortunately, at this moment, Motorola's company is already working.
"Xie, I'll make a phone call and report to the headquarters, what do you think? Of course, rest assured, there will be a result tonight! โ
Alex said to Xie Yang seriously.
He knows very well that if a cooperation agreement cannot be reached tonight, once Samsung and Sony have a strong advantage, Xie Yang is likely to refuse to cooperate with Motorola in order to further stimulate other mobile communication providers.
Only by killing the industry leader can others have any strength.
He knows this better than anyone else.
"What? 300 million dollars? โ
"This is blackmail! Being blackmailed by a company in a technologically backward country, once it spreads, how can we still gain a foothold in the industry? โ
"What about technical standards? Once we agree to purchase their technology at such a price, the technical standards are in their hands...... This is very detrimental to our future development and maintenance of the market! โ
Alex's international call back to the company took less than twenty minutes.
Most of the top management of Motorola's headquarters has already appeared in the conference room of the headquarters.
During this time, everyone's hearts were very entangled.
Yanghong Technology's mobile phone poses a serious threat to them.
Negotiate it, the other side does not accept it.
In terms of technology research and development, Motorola has never made a breakthrough.
So the company's senior management has been in the company all this time.
Even the directors, who are rarely seen, rarely stay with the company.
Otherwise, it would not have gathered many of the company's elders who have the right to speak so quickly for a meeting.
George Williams, the chairman of the company, looked at the demeanor of everyone, patted the faintly swollen head, looked at the company's elders, and sighed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know it's hard for you to accept. But at present, this kind of technology, Yanghong Technology from the backward East has not only mastered, but even our domestic has registered a patent. This company is different from other Oriental companies, although their legal department has not been established for a long time, they are willing to spend money on lawsuits...... Previously, our Xiangjiang branch sued Yanghong Technology for infringement, but they were used by them to carry out a wave of unimaginable advertising, and they haven't paid yet! โ
George Williams gave an overview of what was currently available.
After listening, all the elders fell silent.
All along, the law has been their weapon.
Who would have thought that the vast majority of private enterprises from the ancient and backward Orient would register a patent for the first company to develop the technology, and spend a lot of money to establish a strong legal department.
Other Oriental companies, as long as they are casually scared with international lawsuits, will be coaxed.
Yanghong Technology is good, they don't pay attention to it at all.
While preparing to respond to the lawsuit, he also took advantage of Motorola's reputation to play a wave of free advertising.
This incident made the entire Motorola management very unhappy.
"Now Yanghong Technology is willing to transfer technology, not only mobile phones, but also switch technology, with a price of 300 million dollars. The price is indeed a bit expensive, but according to Mr. Alex's report, these 300 million dollars, as long as we use them well, can earn them back in a short time. Now the biggest problem is that once we don't give this money to purchase, Yanghong Technology will sell the technology to our other competitors...... At present, the representatives of the little Sony and the Samsung of the South stick are over there, and they have already started negotiations......"
George Williams looked at the crowd and said quietly.
There was a sense of powerlessness in his tone.
They use such means against their opponents.
But I never thought that one day, I would be calculated by a company that is not even a competitor.
"Blackmail! This is Chiguoguo's blackmail! โ
"How dare they? Great Xia's industrial base is weak and the technology is backward, they are deceiving us! โ
"We must not accept their blackmail, once we open our mouths, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the industry in the future, and anyone can challenge our position."
The elders suddenly became excited.
No one can accept such an outcome.
"Ladies and gentlemen, at present, Sony and Samsung are waiting in line to negotiate, Yanghong Technology only gave us an hour, and at present, thirty minutes have passed since Mr. Alex called back......"
George Williams raised his wrist and looked at the time.
And then solemnly remind everyone.
That is, there is less than half an hour to decide.
"If we don't accept it, there's a good chance that the other party will sell it to our opponent at a low price."
"The price is too much. At most, two technologies are packaged, giving them 250 million dollars. โ
After all, there are still high-level people who understand.
Knowing that anger here is useless.
The other party is blackmailing.
Don't think about it, you can know it with your toes.
How could it be?
All they need to do now is discuss the bottom line of what Motorola can afford to be blackmailed by such an obscure small company.
"So high? How much profit do we make in a year? โ
"It's not too high in terms of market potential and profits. We have invested more than 300 million dollars in the research and development of a new generation of technology...... But there is still no progress in technology. Relying on our R&D alone, we may not know how much we will have to invest and when we will be able to go to market. At that time, the market share was probably divided by the company that got the technology from Yanghong Technology......"
After thinking about it carefully, Motorola's executives and shareholders couldn't care about being angry.
Start thinking seriously for your own sake.
300 million dollars, the price is very high.
Give more, and these shareholders and executives will naturally get less.
"Everyone, please be quiet, we are not professionals after all, let's take a look at Chairman George's opinion."
At the beginning, the elder who said 250 million knives couldn't discuss what the crowd was.
The more people there are, the more opinions there are.
Professional things are left to professional people to do.
Everyone nodded their heads and stopped expressing their opinions, then looked at George Williams.
"I think that the reserve price can be given to 260 million dollars, and if it can be negotiated at a lower price, there will be no problem. After all, we can't accept the consequences of Yanghong Technology supplying technology to other companies first......"
George Williams looked serious.
Quiet.
Pin drop could be heard throughout the room.
All the elders knew what would happen if Yanghong Technology cooperated with their opponents.
Motorola can't afford it.
"Vote by show of hands!"
It was proposed.
No one wants to give more money, but at the moment they have no choice.
Unless another 250 million is invested, they will be able to solve the current technical problems in a very short time.
Yanghong Technology's technology has been on the market for so far, and the time is too short.
From the beginning, they took a path they didn't think about, and by the time they understood, they had already applied for a patent.
In the end, most of them, whether they wanted to or not, raised their hands in agreement.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
When they received the news from the company's headquarters, Alex and Gan Jianing were already so angry with Xie Yang that they were about to burst out.
No way.
They are waiting for news.
And Xie Yang has no sincerity in cooperation at all.
Constantly stimulate them with words.
It's been almost an hour, and he hasn't drunk much, even if Gan Jianing keeps raising his glass to toast Xie Yang's wine, and even proposes to go to Dongyuan City to find a nightclub to continue drinking, or he finds some young ladies to liven up the atmosphere, Xie Yang doesn't agree.
"Didi~"
Finally, when Xie Yang had to leave when he couldn't drag it on, Alex's BP machine rang.
When I looked at the number on it, I was immediately delighted.
"Thanks, please wait, there's news from our headquarters."
After that, I went outside to find the hotel's phone to make an international call.
There's no way, his Motorola Big Brother has run out of power and turned off.
You can only go to the hotel's phone to make an international call.
"Boss Xie, business really doesn't have you like this. It's all sky-high asking prices, and it's ...... to pay back when you land."
Looking at Xie Yang, Gan Jianing looked bitter.
He never thought that no matter what method he used, he would not be able to make Xie Yang make any concessions.
It's as if Xie Yang is not a private boss in Daxia at all, but an old capitalist who is familiar with the international market, and he has all kinds of tricks so that people don't have any chance to fight back.
"That's the buyer and the seller, and neither party has the absolute right to speak. If it is a buyer's market, then the seller has to ask for cooperation, after all, the seller determines the life and death of the seller; If it is a seller's market, then, who makes money, or even who survives in the market, is the seller's decision-making power......"
Xie Yang grinned.
The relationship with Motorola has reached this level.
Competitors cannot always count on peaceful coexistence.
Everyone wants to have a bigger share of the market.
Xie Yang is very clear about the foundation of Yanghong Technology, in the early stage, the international market, there is no opportunity for them at all.
Not even the domestic market.
โโฆโฆโ
Gan Jianing couldn't refute it for a while.
"Thank you, after urgent negotiations at our headquarters, we have agreed to trade two technologies for 220 million dollars, and if you want, we can discuss the details of the contract immediately......"
Soon, Alex returned.
Facing Xie Yang, he quoted a price that he thought the other party could accept.
$220 million.
Internationally, it is a very high cost of technology transfer.
Except, of course, military technology.
This is definitely the largest technology export project in Daxia.
