King of Industry

The next day, Zhao Guoyang got up early to pack his things.

There is a negotiation with Volkswagen Latin America in the morning, and I have to rush to the airport in the afternoon. If I don't pack my things now, I may really run out of time.

Just as Zhao Guoyang was bending over to stuff things into the luggage bag, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Guoyang looked back and saw that it was Teacher Zhang Yufang.

Seeing this person, Zhao Guoyang quickly stopped his movements, walked over with a smile and said, Mr. Zhang, after working so hard for so many days, I finally lost half a day's shopping time yesterday afternoon. This time I really worked hard on you.

Zhang Yufang smiled gently and said, It's not bad that I can go shopping for half a day. But you, Guoyang, are much busier than me in these ten days.

I have to advise Chairman Mao of the Songqi Group, and I have to be busy with patent matters. In addition, I have to do part-time translation work from time to time. It's really hard. The so-called 'those who can do more work' should be like you. .”

Hearing Teacher Zhang's half-joking and half-serious words, Zhao Guoyang stretched his hands on his chest, and said with a smile: It's hard work, but I don't bring some small gifts for my younger brothers and sisters. I feel a little regretful.

After hearing this, Zhang Yufang pursed her lips and said with a smile, Chairman Mao has already explained this. Nuo, look what it is!

While Zhang Yufang was talking, she had already passed the bag in her hand to Zhao Guoyang: I bought it with Director Zhong Bo yesterday, I hope your family will like it.

Oh, that's right. Chairman Mao asked Director Zhong Bo to buy a watch for you and me, Guoyang, as a reward for us. Hee hee, I took all of you.

Zhang Yufang pointed to the exquisite gift box on the top of the bag, and said with a smile.

After sending Zhang Yufang away, Zhao Guoyang opened the gift box casually, wondering what watch Chairman Mao gave him.

Speaking of which, people who went abroad in the 1990s, the most favorite gift to bring home is a watch.

This thing does not take up space, and the price is not too high. More importantly, in this era, no matter how rich you are, it is difficult to buy imported watches in China.

Zhao Guoyang opened the box and saw that it turned out to be a Plum Blossom watch, which can be regarded as a relatively famous brand among imported watches.

Although the one in his hand is only an entry-level model, it will cost several hundred dollars to buy anyway. Chairman Mao really has a heart.

After wearing the watch directly on his wrist, Zhao Guoyang felt pretty good. The mechanical watch is thick and elegant, and it is indeed more stylish when paired with a suit.

After packing up his things, Zhao Guoyang saw that the agreed time was almost up, he quickly put his things away, and took the elevator down the hall in a hurry.

Just as Zhao Guoyang sat down on the sofa in the lobby, seven or eight people poured in through the revolving door of the hotel.

Seeing Jeffries in the lead, Zhao Guoyang hurried over to meet him.

Oh, Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting! Jeffries shook hands with Zhao Guoyang with a smile on his face.

No, no, I just came down too. Zhao Guoyang said matter-of-factly.

After shaking 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 on this occasion.

Mr. Zhao, you should be familiar with these two. Ayton said with a smile, pointing to the two middle-aged men in uniform beside him.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Zhao Guoyang saw the Sao Paulo patent office commissioner who came to Volkswagen Latin America last time.

Ah, Mr. Tony, Mr. Marcus, hello! Seeing them, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly greeted them warmly.

Although he had already met these two at the Sao Paulo Patent Office yesterday, he still had to talk about the scene.

Jeffries, who was standing next to Zhao Guoyang, waited until he had greeted everyone, and then said politely: Mr. , discuss how to cooperate?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang pointed to the top of his head and said, Of course this is no problem. Chairman Mao is already waiting for us in his room.

Originally, the patent for the delayed heat dissipation system for vehicles had nothing to do with Songqi Group or Mao Zhichun.

However, Zhao Guoyang considered that he would have the opportunity to come up with this patent first. The root cause is that Chairman Mao invited him to come to this trip.

Therefore, he discussed with Mao Zhichun last night and asked Chairman Mao to participate in today's negotiations.

For this, Mao Zhichun was naturally overjoyed and agreed.

At this time, after hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Jeffries didn't feel awkward, but smiled at Zhao Guoyang, then took out something from his arms, and waved to the front desk clerk.

I'm Jeffries from Volkswagen Latin America, and this is my VIP membership card. Please open your presidential suite on the top floor for me.

After Jeffries issued orders to the front desk lady, he still did not forget to explain to Zhao Guoyang: Mr. Zhao, the conference room in Chairman Mao's suite should not be able to accommodate so many people. Let's go to my presidential suite to talk.

Zhao Guoyang smiled lightly at the chairman's domineering demeanor, and said that he would call Chairman Mao's room and let him know.

Hey, Mr. Zhao, don't bother, I'll let someone go to Chairman Mao's room to invite him! Jeffries waved his hand, and a follower behind him immediately went to negotiate with the receptionist.

It seems that he should be asking about the room where Chairman Mao lives.

After leaving this servant to inform Mao Zhichun, Jeffries politely extended his hand to Zhao Guoyang and invited him to go up the hotel elevator with him.

When Zhao Guoyang and Jeffries arrived at the presidential suite on the top floor, Mao Zhichun also rushed over at the same time.

Over the past few days, everyone has basically become very familiar with each other. After greeting each other, they followed Jeffries into the house.

After taking his seat, Jeffries looked directly at Zhao Guoyang, and said frankly: Mr. Zhao, we, Volkswagen, are very interested in your two patents on the 'Delayed Cooling System for Vehicles', and we want to give priority to purchasing them in Latin America, and What do you think about the price of the right to use the company in Europe?

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang knew that Jeffries must have consulted with Volkswagen headquarters and decided to make a package deal, directly buying the use rights of both companies.

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang leaned back on the chair, raised his finger and said, It's my honor that Mr. Jeffries and Volkswagen Headquarters can see my patent. Of course, I am willing to sell the right to use it to you. It's just this Price, should we first listen to the guidance of the two gentlemen from the Sao Paulo State Patent Office?

As soon as Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Marcus from the patent office echoed: Mr. Zhao is right, since your patent is entrusted to our patent office for review, so after the patent result comes out, our patent office is obliged to give you This patent makes a professional assessment...

After Marcus finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Jeffries and Ayton next to him were a little interesting.

Needless to say, Volkswagen Latin America must have applied for many patents at the Sao Paulo Patent Office, so it is naturally very clear about the tricks.

This Marcus voiced his support for Zhao Guoyang so quickly, obviously the Sao Paulo Patent Office had communicated with this young man before and made an intention.

Although they knew that being slaughtered today was certain, Jeffries and Ayton really had nothing to do.

After all, this patent of Zhao Guoyang has also been highly recognized by Volkswagen headquarters, and they must take it at all costs.

Thinking of this, Jeffries looked at Marcus helplessly and said, Mr. Marcus and Mr. Tony, it's not a day or two for us to deal with each other. Why don't you all openly and honestly talk about your intentions and prices, and seek common ground while reserving differences!

Hearing this, Marcus couldn't help but secretly glanced at Zhao Guoyang's expression.

Seeing this foolish look, Zhao Guoyang felt a little helpless, and thought, Brother Marcus, don't you put me in a trap by being so obvious?

However, Zhao Guoyang also knew that most of the people in the Samba country were straightforward and had no talent for intrigue.

He could only sit up straight, coughed and said, Mr. Marcus, I agree with Mr. Jeffries. Tell me about the intended price from your patent office.

Uh, well, well...

After Marcus got the order, he turned his head and whispered to Tony, and then said solemnly: According to the conclusions drawn after our internal review by the Patent Office, the potential value of Mr. Zhao's patent should be around 70 million US dollars. Correspondingly, the value of the right to use it is about seven million dollars...

After Marcus finished speaking, Mao Zhichun next to Zhao Guoyang gasped.

He and Zhao Guoyang probably discussed this topic before, and Zhao Guoyang gave him the answer that the patent was worth four to five million dollars.

Now this Marcus actually gave a reference price of 7 million US dollars, which far exceeded the estimate.

After Marcus finished quoting the price, Jeffries looked a little ugly. He and Ayton glanced at each other, and saw the other party's subtle nod, and he probably had a bottom line.

What, seven million dollars is too high, we can only pay five million dollars at most! Jeffries said in a firm tone.

Zhao Guoyang seemed to have been prepared for the offer from the other party. He ignored Chairman Mao who was beside him, and said directly: Mr. Jeffries, although your offer is slightly lower, it is not unacceptable. However, in this Based on the price, the right to use can only be given to one of your Volkswagen Latin American companies, not the headquarters of Volkswagen. What do you think?

After Zhao Guoyang said this, Jeffries' eyelids twitched.

At this moment, he really realized that the young man in front of him was not only skilled, but also visionary.

Just when Jeffries was hesitating, Ayton on the side quickly made a rescue and said: Mr. Zhao, if our Volkswagen Latin America company and Volkswagen headquarters purchase your patent at the same time, is there any discount in price?

After Ayton said this, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Guoyang again.
