Chapter 676 buy out 100 million
After resting, the next day, Qin Feng followed Lisa to meet with Time Warner, the department manager responsible for the cable modem area.
Of course, this is thanks to Lisa's reputation. As the daughter of Steve Jobs and now one of the directors of Apple, Lisa is still very popular in the United States.
Of course, it’s not that she is popular, it’s mainly that her father, Steve Jobs, is very popular in the United States.
Almost anywhere you go, if Lisa takes her father's name, she can go almost anywhere.
Even when Jobs was kicked out of Apple, no one in the outside world dared to look down on him.
After all, he is a god.
"Ms. Jobs, it's an honor to meet you!" the department manager introduced himself, "You can call me Richard. I already know the reason for your visit. However, I don't know if you need it or your company needs it?"
"This is my personal business, and I plan to apply it in Asian countries." Lisa explained, "Regarding this technology, I wonder if your company is willing to license it?"
"We are the first in the world in terms of cable modem technology and have exclusive technology copyrights. Moreover, we are currently cooperating with ISP companies in many places to provide wired Internet services!" Richard said with a smile, "As for licensing cooperation, as long as
If there is money to be made, we will naturally do it!”
"What are the conditions?" Lisa asked.
Lisa asked during the whole process, but Qin Feng would not speak. The reason is very simple, discrimination against Chinese people still exists. Especially in business, if Qin Feng talks, the price will probably be much higher, which is different from Li
Let's talk about it, those are two concepts.
"The conditions are cooperation. We provide the technology, you provide the funds and market, and finally we share the profits!" Richard said with a smile, "Our company has cooperated many times with this kind of cooperation, so there is also an early version.
.Look at it!”
With that said, Richard took out a document, which listed some cooperation terms in detail.
After reading it carefully, Lisa frowned.
"I will not agree to such cooperation conditions. What I want is a one-time buyout of the authorization. Rather than you selling related modem equipment and technical guidance, and then sharing the profits with us." Lisa refused.
, "We want a one-time buyout. Buy out the national authorization for such technology!"
"Buyout?" Richard was stunned.
Generally speaking, no network service provider is willing to choose to buy out. This is because it requires relatively large funds, and it is also risky.
Relatively speaking, the risks of such cooperation will be reduced. As for Time Warner, they only provide technology. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. They will not lose anything.
Anyway, they will sell the equipment to make some money first.
"Yes, it's a buyout!" Lisa nodded and said, "How much do you want to sell it for?"
"Which country? We will sell the copyright according to the country." Richard asked curiously.
"China!" Lisa said.
"China? That Eastern country where men wear long braids and have a sallow complexion?" Richard suddenly laughed out loud when he heard this, "Go to such a country to get broadband? Have they ever seen a computer?"
Lisa frowned and glanced at Qin Feng worriedly. Seeing Qin Feng's calm face, she took a long breath.
"You don't care where I do it. How much does your company sell for? The related copyright fees are only in China." Lisa asked.
"100 million!" Richard stretched out his finger, "100 million, I'll sell it!"
"What! 100 million US dollars, don't you think you are kidding me? How can this be so expensive!" Lisa's expression changed.
"This is our company's decision. Since you want to buy the copyright, it will be calculated based on the country's population. Although China is lagging behind and may not even have computers, it has reached the level of 100 million U.S. dollars! For 100 million U.S. dollars, we will
The technical copyright of China's cable modem is sold to you!" Richard said with a smile, "So, Ms. Jobs, this is a very uneconomical deal. Although China has a large population, it is a country where there is not enough food to eat. You go
If you do business, you are asking for trouble!"
"Is there room for negotiation?" Lisa asked.
"Ms. Jobs, I gave you this price just for your father's sake. Otherwise, it would be impossible for others to negotiate a buyout!" Richard said seriously, "And our company's price is here. So, I
I suggest you consider this contract."
"I understand, thank you. I will go back and study it carefully and come to visit again!" Lisa stood up and said goodbye.
"I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate!" Richard sent Lisa and Qin Feng away.
Return to the hotel.
"Qin Feng, this condition is too harsh." Lisa said, "$100 million is too expensive! Why not consider cooperation!"
Qin Feng shook his head.
"Cooperation is impossible. Because he doesn't know how big China's potential is." Qin Feng's mouth revealed a hint of disdain.
That Richard just mocked Hua Xia, Qin Feng didn't want to talk to him. After all, he was here for business, not for grudges. What's more, it would be useless even if you had a big quarrel.
People just look down on you, what can you do? After all, China is indeed very poor now. Although the economy is climbing, it is still on the rise. In this case, if you ask Qin Feng to cooperate with the other party, you will never do it.
In that way, the fattest piece of meat will be given to the other party. As far as this cooperation is concerned, the other party will provide the technology, but it will take 40% of the profit share.
It sounds like Qin Feng accounts for 60% and earns more. However, the related equipment must be purchased from the other party. This is a large sum of money. The other party seems to earn 40%, but if the equipment money is included,
Say, you will make more money.
In terms of domestic scale, if we cooperate, the other party will really make a lot of money. That will be more than what they make in the United States.
This kind of thing must never happen.
100 million US dollars is indeed a lot. But if we really get all the technology, Qin Feng thinks it is worth it!
After all, this technology is not currently available in China. If you want to develop it, you don’t know how long it will take. Qin Feng remembers that it did exist in China later. But at that time, adsl also began to become popular, resulting in wired broadband, although it was also launched, the speed was also low.
good.
However, because China Mobile and Telecom seized the spotlight, wired broadband Internet access eventually became useless. Originally, this should be the best technology, at least before fiber optic Internet access, this was the best way to access the Internet. As a result, due to various reasons,
On the contrary, it has become useless in China.
