Chapter 280 With technology, more vision
The next day, Zhao Guoyang got up early to pack up his things.
There was negotiations with Volkswagen Latin American in the morning and we were going to the airport in the afternoon. If we didn’t pack up our things, we might really have no time.
Just as Zhao Guoyang bent over and stuffed something into his luggage bag, the sound of someone knocking sounded at the door.
Zhao Guoyang looked back and found it was Teacher Zhang Yufang.
Seeing that it was this person, Zhao Guoyang quickly stopped the movement in his hand, walked over with a smile and said, "Teacher Zhang, thank you for your hard work for so many days, and finally the half-day shopping time of yesterday afternoon. Thank you so much for your hard work this time."
Zhang Yufang smiled gently and said, "It's already good that I can have half a day to go shopping. But Guoyang, you are much busier than me in these ten days."
"It's really hard to give advice to Chairman Mao of Songqi Group and be busy with patents. It's also really hard to do part-time translation work from time to time. The so-called "those who can work harder" should be like you."
Listening to Teacher Zhang's half-joking and half-serious words, Zhao Guoyang expanded his hands in front of his chest and smiled and said, "It's hard work, I just didn't bring any small gifts to my younger brother and sister, and I feel a little regretful."
After hearing this, Zhang Yufang pursed her lips and said, "This, Chairman Mao has already explained it. No, look at what this is!"
While Zhang Yufang was talking, she had already handed the bag in her hand to Zhao Guoyang: "I bought it with Director Zhong Bo yesterday. I hope your family can like it."
"Oh, by the way. Chairman Mao asked Director Zhong Bo to buy a watch for Guoyang, and me, each of them, saying that it was a reward for us. Hehe, I have taken all of you."
Zhang Yufang pointed to the exquisite gift box on the top of the bag and said with a smile.
After seeing Zhang Yufang off, Zhao Guoyang opened the gift box casually and thought about what form Chairman Mao gave him.
Speaking of which, people who went abroad in the 1990s like to bring their gifts to China the most is watches.
This thing does not take up space and the price is not high. More importantly, in this era, no matter how rich you are, it is difficult to buy imported watches in China.
When Zhao Guoyang opened the box, he saw that it turned out to be a "Plum Blossom" watch, which is also a more famous brand among imported watches.
Although the one in hand is just an entry-level style, it costs hundreds of dollars to buy it. Mao Dong is really interested.
After wearing the watch directly on your wrist, Zhao Guoyang felt pretty good. It was a mechanical watch, thick and elegant, and it was indeed more stylish when paired with a suit.
After packing up the things, Zhao Guoyang saw that the agreed time was almost over, so he quickly put the things down and hurriedly took the elevator to get off the hall.
Zhao Guoyang had just sat down on the sofa in the hall when seven or eight people rushed in from the hotel's revolving door.
Seeing Jeffries leading the way, Zhao Guoyang quickly walked over.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I've let you wait for a long time!" Jeffries shook hands with Zhao Guoyang with joy on his face.
"No, no, I just came down." Zhao Guoyang said in a realistic manner.
After shook 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 today.
"Mr. Zhao, you should be familiar with these two." Ayton said with a smile, pointing at the two middle-aged men in uniform beside him.
Looking in the direction of his finger, Zhao Guoyang saw the St. Paul Patent Office specialist who came to Volkswagen Latin America last time.
"Ah, Mr. Tony, Mr. Marcus, hello!" Seeing that it was them, Zhao Guoyang quickly greeted the two of them warmly.
Although he had met these two people at the St. Paul Patent Office yesterday, he still has to say the scene.
Jeffries, who was standing beside Zhao Guoyang, waited for him to say hello to everyone, and then he spoke politely: "Mr. Zhao, I guess I don't need to say more about the purpose of our visit today. Should I find a place to discuss how to cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang pointed to his head and said, "Of course there is no problem with this. Chairman Mao is already waiting for us in his room."
Originally, the patent for this "vehicle delay cooling system" was not the case without Songqi Group or Mao Zhichun.
However, Zhao Guoyang considered that he had the opportunity to get this patent first. The fundamental reason was that Chairman Mao invited him to come on this trip, which resulted in such a result.
Therefore, he discussed with Mao Zhichun last night and asked Chairman Mao to participate in today's negotiations.
Mao Zhichun naturally agreed overjoyed.
After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Jeffries didn't feel abrupt. He just smiled at Zhao Guoyang, then took out something from his arms, waved to the front desk waiter.
"I am Jeffries from Volkswagen Latin America. This is my VIP membership card. Please open your top-floor presidential suite for me."
After Jeffries gave orders to the front desk service lady, he did not forget to explain to Zhao Guoyang: "Mr. Zhao, there should be so many people in the conference room of Chairman Mao's suite. Let's go to my presidential suite to talk."
Regarding the chairman's domineering and indifferent manner, Zhao Guoyang smiled faintly and said that he would hang up the phone to Chairman Mao's room and inform him of it.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, don't have to worry. I'll just ask him to go to Chairman Mao's room to invite him!" Jeffries waved his hand, and a follower behind him immediately went over to negotiate with the front desk lady.
It seems that he is asking about the room where Chairman Mao lives.
After leaving this follower to inform Mao Zhichun, Jeffries politely extended his hand to Zhao Guoyang and invited him to take the hotel elevator side by side with him.
When Zhao Guoyang and Jeffries and their group arrived at the presidential suite on the top floor, Mao Zhichun also rushed over.
After all these days, everyone is already very familiar with each other. After greeting each other, they followed Jeffries into the house.
After sitting down, Jeffries looked directly at Zhao Guoyang and said openly: "Mr. Zhao, we Volkswagen is very interested in your two patents on your 'vehicle delay cooling system' and want to give priority to its use rights in Latin America and Europe's headquarters. What do you think about the price?"
After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang knew that Jeffries must have consulted with Volkswagen Headquarters and decided to engage in a package and directly purchase the rights of both companies.
After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang leaned against the chair, raised his hand and pointed: "Mr. Jeffries and Volkswagen Headquarters can appreciate my patent. Of course, I am willing to sell the right to use to you. But at this price, should we first listen to the guidance of the two gentlemen of the State Patent Office of St. Paul?"
As soon as Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Marcus of the Patent Office echoed: "Mr. Zhao is right. Since your patent was entrusted to our Patent Office for review, after the patent results came out, our Patent Office is obliged to make a professional evaluation of your patent..."
After Marcus finished speaking, the expressions on Jeffries and Ayton next to him were a little interesting.
Needless to say, Volkswagen Latin American has definitely applied for many patents at the São Paulo Patent Office, so naturally it is clear about the tricks.
This Marcus spoke out so quickly to support Zhao Guoyang, and it was obvious that the St. Paul Patent Office had communicated with this young man before and had made up his intentions.
Although I know it is certain that I will be slaughtered today, there is nothing I can do about Jeffries and Ayton.
After all, Zhao Guoyang's patent was highly recognized by Volkswagen Headquarters, and they must take it down at all costs.
Thinking of this, Jeffries looked at Marcus helplessly and said, "Mr. Marcus, Mr. Tony, we have been dealing with each other for a day or two. Why not talk about their own intentions and prices openly and honestly, seek common ground while reserving differences!"
Upon hearing this, Marcus couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhao Guoyang's expression.
Seeing this stupid look, Zhao Guoyang felt helpless and thought to himself: Brother Marcus, you are so obviously letting me go, didn’t you cheat me?
However, Zhao Guoyang also knew that most people in Samba were relatively straightforward and had no talent for intrigue.
He could only sit up straight and coughed, "Mr. Marcus, I agree with Mr. Jeffries. You can tell me the price you have obtained from your patent office."
"Uh, OK, OK..."
After Marcus got the order, he turned around and muttered to Tony, and then said seriously: "According to the conclusion drawn after the internal review of our Patent Office, Mr. Zhao's patent should be worth about 100 million US dollars. Correspondingly, the value of its right to use should be 10%, about 10 million US dollars..."
After Marcus finished speaking, Mao Zhichun beside Zhao Guoyang took a breath.
He had probably discussed this topic with Zhao Guoyang before. At that time, Zhao Guoyang gave him the answer that this patent was worth about 6 million to 8 million US dollars.
Now Marcus actually gave a reference price of 10 million US dollars, which far exceeded the estimate.
After Marcus quoted the price, Jeffries's face turned a little ugly. He and Ayton looked at each other and saw the other nodding in a slight way, and he probably felt at ease.
"What, ten million is too high. We can only pay eight million dollars at most!" Jeffries said in a decisive tone.
Zhao Guoyang seemed to be prepared for the other party's offer. He ignored Chairman Mao who was shocked by his side and said directly: "Mr. Jeffries, although your offer is slightly lower, it is not unacceptable. However, based on this price, the right to use can only be given to you, Volkswagen Latin American company, and does not involve the headquarters of Volkswagen Company. What do you think?"
After Zhao Guoyang said this, Jeffries's eyelids twitched.
At this moment, he truly realized that the young man in front of him was not only skilled but also more visionary.
Just when Jeffries was hesitating, Ayton, who was standing by, quickly rescued the situation: "Mr. Zhao, if our Volkswagen Latin American company purchases your patent at the same time as the Volkswagen Headquarters, will there be a discount on the price?"
