Facing Meng Zhiyang's blunt words, James' handsome and mysterious face was still as calm as water, and he was not surprised that Meng Zhiyang would be so straightforward.

James is seven or eight years older than Meng Zhiyang, and he is exactly 33 years old. In terms of business experience, James has much more experience than Meng Zhiyang.

However, James subtly discovered that Meng Zhiyang's personal courage was not only obtained through experience in shopping malls, but he also had innate self-confidence and arrogance.In his bones, there is only killing and decisiveness, there is no such thing as servility!

Previously, he intentionally made things difficult for "Hangmeng" again and again in advance, and deliberately did not show up on time when he agreed on the meeting time, in order to make Meng Zhiyang nervous.But now it seems that Meng Zhiyang is not only fully prepared, but also not at all the helpless he wants to see.

North Group is a big customer in "Hangmeng", and any other company that wants to curry favor with North Group will never face the team he personally leads with such an arrogant attitude.

At least he has not seen anyone who is looking forward to cooperating with North Group treat him with such an attitude, even if the other party is also the leader of a large group.There were people much older than him who fawned over him as well.

A person like Meng Zhiyang who is so young and owns a platform with a small company with only a few hundred people dares to ignore his power like this, and he is completely neither humble nor overbearing.

To be honest, James has to admit that the future of "Aviation Dream" headed by Meng Zhiyang is immeasurable, that's why he took so much trouble to personally deploy it!

A small company that has only been established for a few years can create such a high profit value. If the leader is not capable enough, it is impossible to have such a result.

Now James finally understood why his father Edward favored Meng Zhiyang's small company so much.Or it should be said that his father favored Meng Zhiyang, because of the influence of the Enos Group, there are many large groups around the world that are more worthy of cooperation than "Hangmeng".And the value created will be higher than the value obtained by cooperating with "Hangmeng".

But his father didn't care about earning more and earning less, and set the electronic industry cooperation partner established by the group in Asia as a small company called "Hangmeng".

James checked the benefits obtained from the cooperation with "Air Dream" in the past few years. Although the profit status is getting higher year by year, it is far from the maximization of the benefits he wants.

Therefore, he does not intend to be satisfied with that small profit growth rate. His business philosophy has always been to maximize capital benefits.He will see the right time and use the shortest time to create the greatest benefit.

He was indeed as Meng Zhiyang thought, he had another purpose in this negotiation.Originally, he planned to make it clear at about the same time, but now that Meng Zhiyang mentioned his real purpose first, James also quickly put away his carelessness, looked at Meng Zhiyang and said:
"I only ask for one change in the contract. North will buy out the patents of every new product you develop in the future."

Hearing James' request, Meng Zhiyang frowned, but he didn't react immediately, he just remained silent.

Wang Jun, who was sitting next to Meng Zhiyang, didn't want to be silent. He changed his usual talkative attitude and looked at James seriously and said:
"Mr. James thinks that the products we develop are cats and dogs, and can they be bought out at will?"

After a new product with a market is developed, it faces the entire market, that is, the moment the product comes out, as long as the patent is in the hands of whoever owns it, whoever can freely control the launch of the new product, and the benefits can be large or small.

Once the patent is bought out, no matter how much the product benefits, it has little relationship with the developer.

Although the electronic industry is full of everything and its competitiveness is increasing, companies that can occupy a place in the electronic market rely on continuous development of products that meet market demand.

The advantage of Hangmeng lies in continuous innovation. The products developed can always seize the market in the first time, attract consumers' attention, and thus obtain market benefits first!
Every product patent of Hangmeng has never been sold. The so-called patent is like a "child". Without special circumstances, who would sell the "child"?
Wang Jun is responsible for leading the R&D department, he knows best what R&D means!Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to James' conditions.

James looked at Wang Jun. He knew that although this man named Wang Jun was not as eye-catching as Meng Zhiyang in Hangmeng, he was not a person who could be dealt with casually.

Smiling, James didn't care about Wang Jun's cynicism, he said:

"There is nothing you can't buy in the mall, it's just a matter of price, isn't it?"

"That's right, business is ultimately not just a matter of price. Since Mr. James intends to buy out the patents of our products, there is nothing we cannot sell."

Meng Zhiyang calmly answered James' words, and then said to Wang Jun:

"Wang Jun, you are the leader of the development department, how much do you think each of our product patents is worth?"

When Wang Jun heard that Meng Zhiyang seemed to be willing to sell the patent, his heart skipped a beat, but when he saw Meng Zhiyang's unwavering eyes, Wang Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said:

"It's not worth a lot of money. If you really want to sell it, there are already one billion patents. I don't know if they will be worth more in the future!"

Lisa, who was sitting next to James, flashed her eyes and said:

"As far as I know, none of your current products has a profit of more than one billion. Do you think it is appropriate to call out this price?"

"We didn't sell it. If you insist on buying it, we can only sell it. The patent itself is worthless, but our affection for the product is more valuable. In other words, what we sell is affection, not product patents."

Wang Jun said it sincerely, as if he was really selling his own child.

"It is said that Chinese people have a lot of twisted intestines. It turns out to be true. A so-called relationship is worth one billion yuan, which is really not cheap." James joked indifferently.

"It's a billion dollars, not RMB!"

Meng Zhiyang glanced at James with steady eyes, full of domineering demeanor, he made himself equal to James from the beginning to the end, and there was no unequal position of "A and B".

James also raised his lips in arrogance, and his eyes became sharp. He thought that Meng Zhiyang's killing fruit would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be such a powerful aura.

However, he didn't just say that he would swallow "Hangmeng" if he swallowed it. At present, the proportion of Hangmeng who needs North far exceeds that of Noth. If North terminates all cooperation with Hangmeng, Hangmeng's situation will become very difficult, even may be eliminated directly from the market.

Facing the duel at critical moments, James never dragged his feet. He and Meng Zhiyang looked at each other and said forcefully:

"Every patent that has been put on the market is acquired by North Group for 5000 million US dollars, and the new product patents to be renewed are [-] million US dollars, and all new products developed in the future must be North's priority, unless North gives up the purchase Otherwise, you can’t put them on the market at will!”

"Each patent is one billion dollars, and the price of new and old patents is the same. We will talk about new products developed in the future, and we will not give priority to anyone."

Meng Zhiyang, who was more stubborn, not only did not back down, but even made it difficult for others to express Hangmeng's position.

James's proposal is obviously to spend money to buy patents, but the condition behind him is the intention to swallow Hangmeng in disguise.

In other words, as long as North buys Hangmeng's patent first in the contract, the gold and silver mines produced by Hangmeng will be North's property, which is equivalent to turning Hangmeng into a "subsidiary" of North.

With such an obvious intention, even a mindless person should know how ridiculous this kind of business is.

Of course, Meng Zhiyang is also a businessman. He offered James a purchase condition of one billion dollars. Calculated based on time cost, Hangmeng is not a loss, and North will not lose, but North may not gain much. How many.

Therefore, as long as North is willing to pay him the price, he is willing to sell the existing patents.

However, Meng Zhiyang directly rejected the condition that all future patent rights should be given priority to North without even thinking about it.

Meng Zhiyang's direct veto made James' smile completely disappear. He could tell that Meng Zhiyang would never compromise today. He took the lead and stood up before leaving and said:
"Today's negotiations may not be able to go on. You need to reassess the situation within Hangmeng. Rather than waiting until the entire Hangmeng capsizes, it is more practical to actually collect money into your pocket."

"We will consider your proposal, but please also consider giving up the latter conditions and cooperating according to the original agreement, so that we are still a win-win situation. Doesn't Miss Lisa agree with this?"

Meng Zhiyang also stood up. He guessed that today's negotiations would not go well, and he also guessed that James would veto the normal cooperation contract they offered.But he didn't expect James' ambition to be so over the top that he wanted to take a detour and annex the entire Hangmeng!
When James and Meng Zhiyang were confronting each other, Lisa, who had been silent all the time, heard Meng Zhiyang mentioning herself, her alluring face was noncommittal, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Meng Zhiyang, and said:

"As you said, your contract is only through me, and the final decision is made by James. If he does not approve of this contract, my approval becomes meaningless."

"Since our conditions are not recognized by the other party, there is no need to waste time. We will talk about this today. If you still want to talk, we are here."

Meng Zhiyang stretched out his hand to James, James also gave face, shook hands with Meng Zhiyang silently to end the unsuccessful negotiation, and then left Hangmeng with his team!
Wang Jun followed Meng Zhiyang back to the office, and as soon as the door closed, Wang Jun asked:

"What do you think James will do next?"

Meng Zhiyang sat down, his eyes were deep, his brows were wrinkled, and he said:

"He will block all our escape routes. It would be a big blow to us just to cancel all the cooperation between North and us. In addition, his intention is to devour us. If we don't agree to his conditions, he will not only He will terminate our cooperation with us, and he will also prevent us from cooperating with others. I haven’t thought about it that much, but thinking about James’ recent actions makes me suspect that he may already be meddling in our other businesses.”

"If that's the case, then we can't sit still. It's okay for North's cooperation to be hopeless. At least there must be no mistakes in other cooperation, otherwise we may return to before liberation."

"You first ask the public relations department to contact other partners immediately to see if there is any trouble. In addition, Lin in City B is also very important to us. Just in case, let someone make an appointment in advance for the director of the Lin Group Long ~ Lin Piaoyu, tomorrow I will go to City B to meet her personally to confirm whether their cooperative relationship with us is stable."

The Lin family that Meng Zhiyang spoke of was a major customer that Hangmeng had only started working with in the past year, and the relationship was not yet mature.If James wants to get in the way, with the influence of the North Group, Hangmeng can't compete with North.

Keeping the cooperation with Lin's is tantamount to keeping Hangmeng's motor will not stop easily, so Meng Zhiyang must hurry up and personally implement Lin's support for Hangmeng, whether there will be any bad changes.

Once Lin also withdraws from cooperating with Hangmeng, the difficulties faced by Hangmeng will be doubled.
