King of Industry

  Chapter 281 Has technology and has more vision

  The next day, Zhao Guoyang got up early to pack his things.

  There are negotiations with Volkswagen Latin America in the morning, and I will be heading to the airport in the afternoon. If I don’t pack my things now, I may really run out of time.

   Just as Zhao Guoyang was bending over to stuff things into his luggage bag, there was a knock on the door.

   Zhao Guoyang looked back and saw that it was Teacher Zhang Yufang.

  Seeing that it was this person, Zhao Guoyang quickly stopped his movements, walked over with a smile, and said, "Mr. Zhang, after working so hard for so many days, I finally left the half-day shopping time yesterday afternoon. This time I really worked **** you."

  Zhang Yufang smiled gently and said: "I can have half a day to go shopping, which is not bad. But you, Guoyang, are much busier than me in these ten days."

"I have to advise Chairman Mao of the Songqi Group, and I have to be busy with patent matters. In addition, I have to do part-time translation work from time to time. It's really hard. The so-called 'those who can do more work' should be like you. .”

  Listening to Mr. Zhang's half-joking and half-serious words, Zhao Guoyang stretched his hands on his chest, and said with a smile: "It's hard work, but I don't bring some small gifts for my younger brothers and sisters. I feel a little regretful."

  After hearing this, Zhang Yufang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This, Chairman Mao has already explained it. Nuo, look at what this is!"

   While Zhang Yufang was talking, she had already passed the bag in her hand to Zhao Guoyang: "I bought it with Director Zhong Bo yesterday. I hope your family will like it."

   "Oh, that's right. Chairman Mao asked Director Zhong Bo to buy a watch for you and me in Guoyang, saying that it was a reward for us. Hehe, I took all of you."

  Zhang Yufang pointed to the exquisite gift box on the top of the bag, and said with a smile.

  After sending Zhang Yufang away, Zhao Guoyang opened the gift box casually, wondering what watch Chairman Mao gave him.

  Speaking of which, people who went abroad in the 1990s, the favorite gift to bring home is a watch.

   This thing does not take up much space, and the price is not too high. More importantly, in this era, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy imported watches in China.

   Zhao Guoyang opened the box and saw that it was a "Plum Blossom" watch, which was considered a relatively famous brand among imported watches.

  Although the model in my hand is only an entry-level model, it will cost several hundred dollars to buy anyway. Chairman Mao really has a heart.

   After wearing the watch directly on his wrist, Zhao Guoyang feels pretty good. The mechanical watch is thick and elegant, and it is indeed more stylish when paired with a suit.

   After packing up his things, Zhao Guoyang saw that the agreed time was almost up, so he quickly put his things away, and took the elevator down the hall in a hurry.

   Zhao Guoyang had just sat down on the sofa in the lobby when seven or eight people poured in through the revolving door of the hotel.

  Seeing Jeffries in the lead, Zhao Guoyang walked over quickly.

   "Oh, Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Jeffries shook hands with Zhao Guoyang with a smile on his face.

   "No, no, I just came down too." Zhao Guoyang said realistically.

   After shaking hands with Jeffries, Zhao Guoyang shook hands with Ayton and Carlson behind him.

  Carlson is in charge of the finance of Volkswagen Latin America, so he will naturally be present on this occasion.

   "Mr. Zhao, you should be familiar with these two." Ayton said with a smile, pointing to the two middle-aged men in uniform beside him.

  Looking in the direction of his finger, Zhao Guoyang saw the Sao Paulo patent office commissioner who came to Volkswagen Latin America last time.

   "Ah, Mr. Tony, Mr. Marcus, hello!" Seeing them, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly greeted them warmly.

  Although he had already met these two at the Sao Paulo Patent Office yesterday, he still had to talk about the scene.

Jeffries, who was standing next to Zhao Guoyang, waited until he had greeted everyone, and then said politely: "Mr. , discuss how to cooperate?"

   Zhao Guoyang pointed to the top of his head and said, "Of course this is no problem. Chairman Mao is already waiting for us in his room."

  Originally, the patent for the "delayed heat dissipation system for vehicles" has nothing to do with Songqi Group or Mao Zhichun.

  However, Zhao Guoyang considered that he could have the opportunity to come up with this patent first. The root cause is that Chairman Mao invited him to come to this trip.

  Therefore, he discussed with Mao Zhichun last night and asked Chairman Mao to participate in today's negotiations.

   Regarding this, Mao Zhichun was naturally overjoyed and agreed.

  At this time, after hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Jeffries didn't feel awkward. He just smiled at Zhao Guoyang, then took out something from his arms, and waved to the front desk clerk.

   "I'm Jeffries from Volkswagen Latin America, and this is my VIP membership card. Please open your presidential suite on the top floor for me."

  After Jeffries issued orders to the front desk lady, he still did not forget to explain to Zhao Guoyang: "Mr. Zhao, the conference room in Chairman Mao's suite should not be able to accommodate so many people, so let's go to my presidential suite to talk."

  Regarding the chairman's domineering demeanor, Zhao Guoyang smiled lightly, and said that he would call Chairman Mao's room and inform him.

   "Hey, Mr. Zhao, don't bother, I'll send someone to Chairman Mao's room to invite him!" Jeffries waved his hand, and a follower behind him immediately went to negotiate with the receptionist.

   It seems that he should be asking about the room where Chairman Mao lives.

  Reserving this attendant to inform Mao Zhichun, Jeffries politely extended his hand to Zhao Guoyang, inviting him to go up the hotel elevator with him.

  When Zhao Guoyang and Jeffries arrived at the presidential suite on the top floor, Mao Zhichun also rushed over at the same time.

   After these days, everyone is basically familiar with each other. After greeting each other, they followed Jeffries into the house.

After taking his seat, Jeffries looked directly at Zhao Guoyang, and said frankly: "Mr. Zhao, we, Volkswagen, are very interested in your two patents on the 'Delayed Cooling System for Vehicles', and we want to give priority to purchasing them in Latin America, and What do you think about the price of the right to use the company in Europe?"

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang knew that Jeffries must have consulted with Volkswagen headquarters, and decided to engage in a package deal, directly buying the use rights of both companies.

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang leaned back on the chair, raised his finger and said, "It's my honor that Mr. Jeffries and Volkswagen Headquarters can see my patent. Of course, I am willing to sell the right to use it to you. It's just this Price, should we first listen to the guidance of the two gentlemen from the Sao Paulo State Patent Office?"

As soon as Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Marcus from the patent office echoed: "Mr. Zhao is right, since your patent is entrusted to our patent office for review, so after the patent result comes out, our patent office is obliged to give you This patent makes a professional assessment..."

  After Marcus finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Jeffries and Ayton next to him were interesting.

   Needless to say, Volkswagen Latin America must have applied for many patents at the Sao Paulo Patent Office, so it is naturally very clear about the tricks.

   This Marcus voiced his support for Zhao Guoyang so quickly, obviously the Sao Paulo Patent Office had communicated with this young man before and made an intention.

  Although they knew that they would be slaughtered today, Jeffries and Ayton really had nothing to do.

   After all, this patent of Zhao Guoyang has also been highly recognized by Volkswagen headquarters, and they must take it at all costs.

  Thinking of this, Jeffries looked at Marcus helplessly and said: "Mr. Marcus, Mr. Tony, it is not a day or two for us to deal with each other. Why don't you all openly and honestly talk about your intentions and prices, and seek common ground while reserving differences!"

  Marcus couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhao Guoyang's expression when he heard this.

  Seeing this foolish look, Zhao Guoyang felt a little helpless, and thought: Brother Marcus, you are so obvious that you have put me in a trap, haven’t you?

  However, Zhao Guoyang also knows that most of the people in the Samba country are relatively straightforward and have no talent for intrigue.

  He could only sit up straight, coughed and said, "Mr. Marcus, I agree with Mr. Jeffries. Tell me about the intended price from your patent office."

   "Uh, well, well..."

After Marcus got the order, he turned his head and whispered to Tony, and then said solemnly: "According to the conclusions drawn after our internal review by the Patent Office, the potential value of Mr. Zhao's patent should be around 70 million US dollars. Correspondingly, the value of the right to use it is about seven million dollars..."

  After Marcus finished speaking, Mao Zhichun next to Zhao Guoyang gasped.

  He and Zhao Guoyang probably discussed this topic before, and Zhao Guoyang gave him the answer that the patent was worth four to five million dollars.

  Now this Marcus actually gave a reference price of 7 million US dollars, far exceeding the estimate.

  After Marcus finished quoting the price, Jeffries' face was a little ugly. He and Ayton glanced at each other and caught a glimpse of the other's subtle nod.

   "What, seven million dollars is too high, we can only pay five million dollars at most!" Jeffries said in a firm tone.

Zhao Guoyang seemed to have been prepared for the offer from the other party. He ignored Chairman Mao who was beside him, and said directly: "Mr. Jeffries, although your offer is slightly lower, it is not unacceptable. However, in this Based on the price, the right to use can only be given to one of your Volkswagen Latin American companies, and does not involve the headquarters of Volkswagen. What do you think?"

  After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Jeffries' eyelids twitched.

  At this moment, he really realized that the young man in front of him is not only skilled, but also visionary.

   Just when Jeffries was hesitating, Ayton on the side quickly made a siege and said: "Mr. Zhao, if our Volkswagen Latin American company and Volkswagen headquarters purchase your patent at the same time, is there any discount in price?"

  After Ayton said this, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Guoyang again.
