Chapter 378 Huge Profits
“I actually didn’t do anything, I just went to run some errands. Speaking of which, these conditions were all proposed by Mr. Ning, and I didn’t dare to propose anything extraordinary. request."
Xu Shou's return greatly eased their anxiety.
After receiving these verbal promises from Ning Chen, they began to study specific ways of cooperation with Xingchen Technology.
The three cars released by Xingchen Automobile are already ahead of the automotive industry in many aspects, and there are many technologies that Piati wants to use.
But after all, Xingchen Technology cannot share all their technologies, and Piati does not have the funds to purchase all technologies. They must choose carefully.
After some discussion, everyone came to a preliminary conclusion.
Now, what is most worthy of Piati’s purchase and use is Xingchen Automobile’s battery technology and autonomous driving technology.
The emergence of Xingchen Automobile has created a new cruising range record for new energy vehicles. It can achieve more than 1,500 kilometers of cruising range on a single charge.
Even the most common version of the Star Car does not suffer any loss in terms of battery life, which proves that the cost of using this technology is still relatively low.
The self-driving technology of Xingchen Automobile has created the most advanced technology in the entire automotive industry. Perhaps many people have not adapted to self-driving technology now, but in the near future, this technology will definitely become a must-have for the automotive industry. technical.
Therefore, early installation of advanced battery technology and autonomous driving technology can prevent Piati from being left behind by the industry. As for other technologies, relatively speaking, their priority is still lower.
After determining the general direction of cooperation, Xu Shou contacted Lu Minghao again.
Lu Minghao also immediately relayed these requests of Xu Shou to Ning Chen.
"Piatti... hopes to cooperate with us on new energy vehicle batteries and autonomous driving technology?"
Ning Chen was not surprised by this result, because these are indeed the two areas where Xingchen Motors currently has the most advantages.
Ning Chen is naturally willing to cooperate with Piati. Making Xingchen Motors a top brand in the automobile industry is only one of Ning Chen's goals.
In addition, Ningchen also hopes that Xingchen Automobile can truly lead the entire world automobile industry, which will also allow Xingchen Automobile to earn profits for Ningchen faster.
"Manager Lu, when it comes to discussing cooperation with Piati, I will leave it all to you. I will give you a general framework for cooperation and leave the specific details to you..."
Ning Chen did not have time to deal with various trivial matters in person, so he explained his thoughts on this matter to Lu Minghao in a concise and concise manner. Lu Minghao listened and carefully recorded it.
"In addition, we need to make one thing clear. Piati is not our only partner. We, Xingchen Motors, will use this matter to attract more car companies to cooperate with us. Therefore, after we complete the contract with Piati After the cooperation, we must secretly release the news..."
In the automotive field, Ning Chen does not want the emergence of Xingchen Automobile to kill all other car brands, but to truly show off to Xingchen The technology of science and technology is spread out.
In this way, even if many Xingchen Technology cars purchased by users will be equipped with parts manufactured or developed by Xingchen Technology, Xingchen Automobile will truly take root in this industry.
“Okay, Mr. Ning, I understand.”
……
In the following time, Lu Minghao followed Ning Chen's request and discussed technical cooperation with Piati.
The cooperation negotiations went much smoother than both parties expected, because both Xingchen Technology and Piati Company had a strong willingness to cooperate, which made the negotiations between the two parties not too smooth. Lots of disagreements.
After setting the details of the cooperation technology, the two parties quickly reached an agreement on the price of technology sharing.
Piatti and Xingchen Technology have signed a five-year cooperation agreement on patents such as battery technology and autonomous driving technology for new energy vehicles.
In this cooperation agreement, Piati Company needs to pay a large amount of patent royalties to Xingchen Technology every year, and after five years, Piati Company will also have priority in renewing various patents. right.
Of course, Piati Company will not feel sad about such a large expenditure. In fact, this can change the fate of Piati Company to a great extent.
The battery technology of new energy vehicles can greatly improve the lower limit of Piati cars. Even the cheapest models can have a very good cruising range.
The high-end functions such as automatic driving function have raised the upper limit of Piati Auto, allowing Piati Auto to also develop luxury models.
After completing the signing of the agreement, Piati's internal executives immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the company's next operating plan.
“Looking at what Xingchen Technology means, they are willing to license these technologies to other automobile companies. Therefore, we must start the research and development of new models as soon as possible, at least let us be one step ahead of other automobile companies... …”
The patent licensing contract signed between Piati and Xingchen Technology is not an exclusive authorization, so Xingchen Technology can continue to sign similar agreements with other automobile companies.
However, Piati Company has not made any extravagant demands. Xingchen Technology will really sign an exclusive license with them. After all, the value of these technologies is immeasurable. If an exclusive license is signed, the price will be unknown. times, which is completely unbearable for them.
As long as they have the priority right to use the patent, Piati is very satisfied, which is enough to put them ahead at the starting line.
What's more, they also have price discounts for patent cooperation. The amount of these discounts alone is enough to make up for the technology they proactively provided to Xingchen Technology.
Soon, Piati Company formulated plans for the development of three models.
The first one is a very cost-effective model. While its performance is quite satisfactory, it also has excellent energy consumption and battery life.
The second is a flagship model, which is based on the original Piati car and adds a number of functions while ensuring that the price is within a suitable range.
The third type is a luxury car that incorporates many of Piati's strongest existing technologies, including some technologies provided by Xingchen Technology. Of course, the price of the model will be higher.
These three models seem to be somewhat similar to the three models of Xingchen Motors, but they have their own characteristics and target different consumer groups.
Once these models are developed, Piati Auto may cause a new boom in the automobile market. ……
After signing the patent cooperation agreement with Piati Company, Lu Minghao suddenly became worried, so he quickly found Ning Chen and talked about his thoughts.
"Mr. Ning, I always feel that if we provide technology to Piati and other companies, will it affect the sales of Xingchen Automobile? In this way, it may not be beneficial to the future of our Xingchen Automobile. Development..."
These worries of Lu Minghao are unreasonable. After all, Xingchen Automobile has just entered the market. Although its sales are already very good, it is still far from establishing a firm foothold in the automobile market.
At this time, I immediately chose to share the technology. Even if I could get a lot of income, it seemed a bit too hasty.
This seems to be a bit of a killing game to obtain eggs, which is not like Ning Chen's usual behavior.
But it is not that Ning Chen has not thought about these things. In fact, such a choice is the inevitable choice of Xingchen Technology now.
"Manager Lu, I know what you are worried about, but in fact these are not the reasons for our worries. As long as we make enough profits through the business of the automobile industry, whether it is through direct sales of cars, or through the The patent usage fees for the technology are all acceptable to us..."
Ning Chen patiently explained his thoughts to Lu Minghao. Under Ning Chen's explanation, Lu Minghao also figured it out. everything.
For project research in the automotive industry, Ning Chen’s original intention was not just to simply build cars, but also to raise funds for controllable nuclear fusion projects.
Now that the sale of patents can earn income faster, Ning Chen will naturally make the most appropriate choice.
On the other hand, Ning Chen is not worried that Xingchen Technology’s licensing of new energy vehicle-related technologies will cause Xingchen Automobile’s sales to be seriously affected.
As long as Ning Chen is willing, he will definitely be able to develop more powerful technology. As long as there is sufficient technological update speed, Xingchen Automobile will eventually lead the entire automobile market.
If we use a more popular term to describe it, Xingchen Technology can be said to have made the entire automobile industry more involution.
Of course, such involution will definitely be beneficial to the majority of car users, which will allow people to buy car products with better performance at the same price.
"Okay, Mr. Ning, I understand. I will continue to promote Xingchen Technology's automotive technology and strive to reach cooperation intentions with more automobile companies."
Shortly after this, Xingchen Technology and Biya The matter of cooperation with Ti Company was soon known to more people.
In fact, Xingchen Technology did not deliberately publicize the news, nor did it deliberately cover up the news. It just allowed the news to ferment.
Because these messages themselves are extremely topical, they spread very quickly and do not require any publicity to achieve word-of-mouth results.
Even on major online social platforms, related topics have been on the hot search list bit by bit.
"I didn't expect that Xingchen Technology would actually cooperate with Piati. With these two companies joining forces, other domestic car brands may not be competitive."
"Xingchen Technology Authorized The technologies provided to Piati are all the core technologies of Xingchen Automobile. No wonder Piati was willing to provide Xingchen Technology with many technologies for new energy vehicles for free. It seems that the two companies have already negotiated before. ”
“According to this trend, new energy vehicles may really become the mainstream of the automobile industry in the future. The emergence of Xingchen Automobile will make up for the disadvantages of many new energy vehicles and also bring their advantages. It’s even more obvious.”
With the fermentation of these news, many car users are very happy, because it means that they will soon use cars with better performance.
But not everyone is happy about this news.
Many automobile companies felt very panic after learning about the high-level cooperation between Xingchen Technology and Piati. This made their sense of crisis that had been accumulated for a long time become even stronger.
But after thinking carefully, they also got another piece of information.
Since Xingchen Technology is willing to license their technology to Piati, it at least means that Xingchen Technology will not completely seal up their technology. This will be a new opportunity for other car companies.
After thinking about this, many automobile companies contacted Xingchen Technology and inquired about Xingchen Technology’s intention to cooperate on new energy vehicle technology.
Within a few days, Xingchen Technology received cooperation inquiries from dozens of large and small automobile companies, and they all showed a very strong willingness to cooperate.
While Lu Minghao was surprised, he also truthfully reported the news to Ning Chen.
“So many automobile companies have taken the initiative to request technical cooperation from us... It seems that I still underestimate the impact of this matter.”
Ning Chenye and Lu Minghao It is also surprising that these companies include almost all large automobile companies on the market, which is enough to show how eager everyone is for these technologies.
However, Ning Chen will not agree to cooperation applications from all automobile companies. Even if the research on controllable nuclear fusion projects requires a very large amount of funds, Ning Chen will not make money without a bottom line.
Ning Chen has two principles for choosing these automobile companies.
The first is to cooperate with domestic automobile companies first. Ningchen hopes to use Xingchen Automobile to drive the development of the entire Xiaguo automobile industry and help Xiaguo's automobile technology move to a new level.
The second one is to give priority to cooperating with companies that have a good reputation, value R&D, and have great potential. These companies have their own unique corporate culture and are more likely to create a bright future.
After careful screening, Ning Chen finally selected less than ten automobile companies and prepared to negotiate business cooperation with them.
In the end, only five automobile companies successfully signed formal cooperation agreements with Xingchen Technology and began cooperation on automobile projects.
But these agreements alone are enough for Xingchen Technology to make a lot of profits in the next five years or so, enough to support the research of controllable nuclear fusion projects.
At this time, Ning Chen could finally start a new phase of work.
