Chapter 305: Patent authorization, various companies compete
The last month of 2014.
As 2015 is approaching, the breakthrough of lithium-sulfur batteries has injected a new and majestic vitality into the entire market.
Industries such as smartphones, new energy vehicles, and photovoltaic energy storage are also shaken by the breakthrough of lithium-sulfur batteries.
Tangdu.
This northwest city, located in the heart of China, had a brief moment of glory.
The company Galaxy Technology has also really appeared in the eyes of many people.
The news of the Lithium-Sulfur Battery Patent Licensing Conference was just released on the official website of Galaxy Technology, and all the reservations for the conference were sold out in a very short period of time.
The participating companies are all well-known domestic and foreign companies.
When the news spread to the Internet, it also aroused the curiosity of many netizens, wanting to know who Galaxy Technology would eventually license this technology patent to.
Galaxy Technology Company Headquarters.
In a huge conference room, Chen Lingyue and Zhou Rui talked calmly with the CEOs of these famous companies.
As executives of Galaxy Technology, thanks to Wang Donglai’s delegation of authority and trust, their reputations in the business world have gradually spread.
Chen Lingyue was originally a member of Warwick's leadership, and his technology and management were first-rate.
Although Zhou Rui has a low starting point, he has already developed it after two years of training.
At this time, the two people greeted the visitors warmly.
After all, the patent for lithium-sulfur batteries is very important, and even the Tangdu City Government has people coming.
It’s almost time for the meeting.
Chen Lingyue nodded to Zhou Rui, walked up, and said with a smile: "You are welcome to come and participate in this conference despite your busy schedule."
It is no exaggeration to say that if the worth of all the people sitting below were added together, the minimum would be hundreds of billions.
However, facing such a situation, Chen Lingyue was not restrained in the slightest, and his mentality was calm and indifferent.
First of all, this is Galaxy Technology, and Chen Lingyue has the home court advantage.
The second thing is that the people sitting below are all here for the patent authorization of lithium-sulfur batteries, and Chen Lingyue is superior in mentality.
And in the end, it was Wang Donglai who gave him the confidence.
After seeing Wang Donglai's plan, Chen Lingyue actually knew what he should do.
Although there are many well-known domestic and foreign companies, there are only a few companies that can truly meet the conditions.
However.
While Chen Lingyue was presiding over the meeting, he was talking.
"Mr. Chen, I would like to interrupt for a moment. Will Professor Wang come forward?"
The person from LG sitting in the first row below asked aloud.
When someone interrupted his speech, Chen Lingyue's expression did not change. He was still smiling and said: "Our boss has already made a decision regarding this technical authorization."
"Foreign regions, We will cooperate with powerful international companies to transfer the patents of lithium-sulfur batteries, and domestic licensing will be used.”
“First come. First come first, there are only five places for foreign patent transfer, the one with the highest price will get it!"
"As for domestic, you need to give the exact plan, plan, and price."
"Okay. Now that everything has been said, please submit your bids and plans. We will collect them and announce the results later.”
No one thought that patent licensing for lithium-sulfur batteries would be such a trivial matter.
Wang Donglai didn't even show his face and let Chen Lingyue state his request directly.
This is what Wang Donglai deliberately requested. Galaxy Technology is a technology-oriented technology company, so there is no need for fancy business banquets or useless ritual procedures.
With lithium-sulfur battery technology in hand, Wang Donglai is not worried about any mistakes.
Mastering technology is so tough.
When Chen Lingyue said this, the expressions of the people present varied. Some looked calm, some looked angry, and some looked admiring.
Soon.
Each family submitted its proposal.
Since I came to participate in Galaxy Technology’s lithium-sulfur battery technology licensing conference, I was naturally prepared in advance.
Even the plan was not written in two copies.
After collecting all the plans, Zhou Rui left the meeting room with them.
After Zhou Rui left, many people felt relieved but also became anxious and nervous.
Lithium-sulfur batteries, if anyone obtains this authorization, there is no doubt that they will be able to rapidly expand the market.
Where do these expanded markets come from? They naturally come from companies that have not obtained authorization.
Everyone here knows this.
From a certain perspective, everyone is actually a potential competitor.
After handing in the plan, Zeng Qun took a long breath and looked a little relaxed.
"Mr. Zeng, you seem to be very confident?"
The boatman walked up to Zeng Qun and asked curiously.
Looking at Brother Boatman, Zeng Qun did not answer, but brought up another topic and said: "Mr. Wang, aren't you curious about what Galaxy Technology does? It transfers technology patents abroad, and in Domestic licensing is different from what most companies do.”
The boatman didn't take Zeng Qun's change of topic seriously and said: "This approach is indeed rare, but it is not unexpected."
"The situation abroad is inherently complex, and Galaxy Technology is obviously not I am preparing to go out in person, so the foreign market must be released. However, if the domestic company obtains global authorization, the foreign market will definitely not be fully developed.”
“So, one was directly allocated. Domestic and foreign, this is very good.”
“I should even guess a little bit of Professor Wang’s thoughts.”
Zeng Qun’s eyes flashed, and he realized what the boatman said. He also knew that he asked this question just to change the topic, but he didn't expect Brother Boatman to be so serious, so he continued: "Based on the conditions previously stated, the situation is actually very obvious."< br>
"It's not difficult to guess what Professor Wang thinks. The foreign market is useless, and it's better to transfer the patent directly than to go to all the trouble."
"As for the country, I'm afraid we will continue according to the previous thinking. "
The boatman nodded and said nothing more.
The atmosphere also became anxious as time passed.
Many company executives present were already restless and looking around.
Obviously, all of them are business executives or founders worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, but now they are like students waiting for their test results, waiting for their fate to be judged.
If given a choice, they would never do it.
But they had no choice but to follow Galaxy Technology's requirements.
Shopping malls are like battlefields!
The emergence of a new technology is like the emergence of advanced weapons.
They dare not relax at all, for fear that a single oversight will lead to a decline in market share.
At that time, Nokia bet on resistive screens, but the result was sunset.
There are many such cases in the business field, and it can even be said that they are everywhere. That's why everyone is so nervous and anxious.
Some people are worried, some are confident, and naturally some are uneasy.
Especially since Chen Lingyue has made it clear just now that Galaxy Technology will transfer the overseas patent rights of lithium-sulfur batteries.
This is undoubtedly the same as selling a hen that lays golden eggs.
Although some people will doubt the reason why Wang Donglai did this, whether there is any defect in his technology, he still wants to take this opportunity to kill them severely.
It can be expected that the funds required to obtain overseas patent authorization for lithium-sulfur batteries are not a small amount.
At this moment, in a remote corner.
The Matsushita people from Sakura Country were discussing quietly.
"You all know the conditions offered by the company. Now tell me what you think. What are the chances that we can obtain the patent transfer?"
Jiro Kojima looked at many of his subordinates and asked. asked in a voice.
After hearing what Jiro Kojima said, many Panasonic employees did not answer.
They really don’t know how to answer.
It is precisely because they know the conditions offered by their own company that they feel embarrassed.
One billion Chinese dollars!
This is the condition offered by Panasonic.
If Wang Donglai hadn't proposed technology transfer in overseas areas instead of licensing, they would never have offered such conditions.
It’s just that they know it very well.
The value of lithium-sulfur batteries far exceeds this billion. It can be said that it is impossible to obtain patent transfer at this price.
At the same time, they also know better why there are such conditions.
Sakura Country actually has a long history of research and development of new energy, and there are many achievements.
Whether it is hydrogen energy, solid-state batteries, or lithium-sulfur batteries, there is research on them.
When I came to Tangdu this time, in fact, Panasonic did not attach too much importance to Wang Donglai, but to Galaxy Technology.
Because in their opinion, since Wang Donglai, a half-hearted scholar, and the Galaxy Technology Laboratory without famous professors and researchers, can develop Xirang No. 1.
Then with more talents, more advanced instruments, and more experience, they can also achieve breakthroughs.
Of course, if they can obtain patent authorization, it will also be of great help to their independent research and development, so Jiro Kojima came here.
I just didn’t expect Wang Donglai to take the unusual path and directly transfer technology.
"President, the price we offer is not high. The key is that several other rival companies are also here. I am afraid they will raise the price, which is very detrimental to us!"
After a moment of silence, as the person in charge of Panasonic's domestic market, Ling Peng spoke.
To be honest, Ling Peng completely disagrees with Jiro Kojima's approach.
However, he is only the person in charge of the domestic region. Facing the headquarters leader Kojima Jiro, he does not have much say at all.
Although the domestic market has earned Panasonic a lot of profits, within the company, Ling Peng's status is not high.
Because in the eyes of many Sakura people, China is still that backward country.
From the bottom of their hearts, they look down on this country and the Chinese.
Ling Peng has seen many such people in the company. He was initially a little dissatisfied and angry, but later on, he became numb.
“No, I don’t think we have no chance. You must know that we are the most advanced country in this field.”
“Although Wang Donglai was lucky, he was the first to develop a technology that can solve the shuttle effect. materials, but this does not mean that this field is occupied by him.”
“I believe that the scholars in our country and our company’s laboratory will soon catch up with the progress of Galaxy Technology, or even overtake it. ! ”
"So, I added a condition to the proposal."
"That is, if Galaxy Technology is willing, it can join hands with us for research and development. We will provide advanced instruments and guide research, and they will provide funds and Venue.”
When he said these words, Kojima Jiro looked extremely confident.
After hearing what Jiro Kojima said, Ling Peng sighed quietly in his heart.
At this moment, he was already considering whether he should change jobs.
The entry of lithium-sulfur batteries into the market will inevitably cause market fluctuations. By then, Panasonic's performance will inevitably decline.
The more he thought about it, the more Ling Peng made a decision in a very short period of time.
……
In Wang Donglai’s office.
Wang Donglai is looking at the submitted plan.
With the ability of [Speed Reading], Wang Donglai can read extremely fast.
There were dozens of plans, and it didn’t take long to read them all.
After reading it, Wang Donglai took out several proposals and said to Zhou Rui: "The companies with these proposals that I selected can further contact and discuss."
Zhou Rui did not Ask more, nodded, took the documents, and asked: "Do other companies still need to keep in touch and communicate?"
"No!" Wang Donglai waved his hand and said.
"Forget it, let's keep in touch. We might be able to use it later."
Zhou Rui nodded and retreated.
On the other hand, Wang Donglai had a smile on his face and murmured to himself: "What a CATL, what a Zeng Qun. It seems that I really underestimated you before."
The reason why Wang Donglai is so emotional is very simple.
Because the plan submitted by Zeng Qun did not contain much content.
To sum up, it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, we are willing to show the greatest sincerity to carry out in-depth cooperation with Galaxy Technology.
Yes!
Zeng Qun did not completely focus on lithium-sulfur batteries, but wanted to have more in-depth cooperation with Galaxy Technology.
The conditions offered were not very specific, but from the wording, Wang Donglai could tell Zeng Qun's decision.
That’s why Wang Donglai was feeling the way he was feeling at this moment.
In addition to Zeng Qun, BYD's conditions are also very good.
In Wang Donglai's heart, he is more inclined to these two families.
Of course, we still need to talk about it.
If it was just to make money, Wang Donglai wouldn't go to such great lengths.
To be honest, it would be much easier that way.
With his super learning ability and the abilities given by the system, he can become a technology madman. Even if he only relies on patent authorization, he can become one of the top richest people in the world.
However, Wang Donglai was not willing to do this.
To live a new life, you always have to do something. If you just want to make money, the situation is a bit too low.
