Pulling the H Mining Group onto the chariot is definitely a beneficial and harmless choice for the Future People Group. Although these old European aristocrats may not be able to compete with large financial groups such as Rockefeller and Morgan on Wall Street in the financial field, their energy in certain fields cannot be underestimated.
For example, commodities, automobile industry, etc...
After the ore supply negotiations were concluded, Jiang Chen personally put Luke Joyce on the plane. The agreement with H Group on the development of mineral resources in Mindanao is undoubtedly good news for Future Heavy Industries whose production capacity continues to increase.
The next day, just as Jiang Chen was about to return to his new country, people from Intel came to his door.
The visitor was Brian Krzanich. Speaking of this "legendary" CEO, we have to mention the prediction he made three years ago. Krzanich, who was promoted from COO to CEO at that time, formulated four core development areas: C, data center, mobile and chip manufacturing technology. He also boldly predicted that in three years, major manufacturers will completely abandon the ARM architecture of competitor Qualcomm and switch to the architecture.
However, contrary to expectations, the terrifying heat generated by Intel's chips caused it to suffer a disastrous defeat in the mobile device market, and repeated delays also prevented it from taking advantage of competitive opportunities.
It also told investors that it would develop SoCs (integrated and application processors) for low-, mid-, and high-end smartphones and tablets, but failed to launch these products on time and was ultimately killed.
Billions of dollars were invested, but in the end nothing came of it, and it was kept secretive without giving investors a good explanation.
Futureren Heavy Industries' breakthrough in graphene materials not only alarmed Intel, but also made Ke Zanqi see a turning point. If Intel can enter the graphene field first, it will undoubtedly have an opportunity to make a comeback in the mobile market.
"We hope to obtain your company's authorization for a total of 271 patents on semiconductor graphene and graphene transistors at a reasonable price!" When we met, Ke Zaiqi put forward his request straight to the point.
He was ready to start a "tug-of-war" negotiation with the Future People Group, and he put at least five pieces of clothing in his suitcase. Futureren Heavy Industries' recent "big purchases" internationally will naturally not fail to attract the attention of Intel Corporation. They are obviously going to enter the field of electronic equipment production!
From this perspective, Future People's Heavy Industry will definitely become their competitor in the future. Obviously, it may not be easy to negotiate this patent licensing project.
But Ke Zanqi also has a trump card in his hand.
If Future Heavy Industries maliciously refuses patent authorization, it will be a conclusive monopoly!
However, beyond Ke Zaiqi's expectation, Jiang Chen said generously: "No problem."
"Wha, what?"
"I said no problem, which means we can talk about it. Is there something wrong with my grammar?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Ke Zaiqi coughed lightly.
"I'm very sorry. I was a little distracted."
"What price do you think is reasonable?" Jiang Chen didn't care and returned to the topic.
"100 million US dollars?" Ke Zaiqi tentatively suggested.
"We have invested US$2.1 billion in the research and development of graphene materials. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to spend US$100 million to buy it?" Jiang Chen lied without blushing.
Damn it, 2.1 billion, a complete set of graphene production equipment does not require hundreds of sub-crystals.
But it’s hard to say this. Who wants to be the only one who can cross the two worlds, Jiang Chen? Naturally, he alone has the final say on the exchange rate of the two currencies.
Ke Zaiqi's brows twitched, he already had a premonition that Jiang Chen would open his mouth wide. But who wants the scientific research team of Futureman Group to take this last step first? According to Intel's research department, it will take at least two years to complete research on semiconductor graphene.
"Then how much do you say?"
"400 million U.S. dollars," Jiang Chen stretched out four fingers, paused and added, "Every year."
"$400 million per year! Are you crazy? Are your patent documents made of diamonds?" Ke Zaiqi said angrily.
"Graphene is much more expensive than diamonds. Of course, I mean commercial value." Jiang Chen smiled, "Think about it, how much money have you spent on graphene material research? How much more will you spend? You Do you still think this patent license is expensive?”
"This means that over the next 20 years, Intel will pay you a total of $8 billion!"
"What does it matter? Will Intel, which has an annual net profit of 20 billion, be short of this money?" Jiang Chen spread his hands, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. I believe that the people from Qualcomm will come the day after tomorrow at the latest. Talk to us..."
Holding back the pain, Ke Zaiqi said immediately.
"make a deal!"
Qualcomm is Intel's mortal enemy. If Qualcomm seizes the opportunity, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Intel to compete for the big pie in the mobile market! Even if it takes just two days, Krzanich must buy time for Intel researchers to develop graphene chips based on Intel architecture before Qualcomm does, giving Qualcomm a heavy blow in the mobile market.
As Jiang Chen said, US$400 million is really nothing to a behemoth like Intel.
Backed by the largest Rockefeller consortium in the United States, Intel is far richer than they seem.
The negotiations ended that day, and with the patent licensing contract in hand, Ke Zanqi boarded the plane back to California that day. Almost as soon as Ke Zanqi left, representatives from Qualcomm arrived in the New Matt District, wanting to discuss patent licensing with Jiang Chen.
Negotiations with Qualcomm were also completed on the same day. After hearing that Intel's representatives had obtained the patent authorization, Qualcomm's representatives did not blink an eye at the annual patent fee of US$400 million and directly expressed a deal. Jiang Chen secretly exclaimed that it was a pity. Judging from how quickly they closed the deal, the price could go even higher!
Xia Shiyu was surprised that Jiang Chen ended the negotiation so quickly, so she called over and expressed her confusion.
"If we want to enter the field of graphene chips, why not delay patent licensing negotiations with Intel and Qualcomm for several months? This will give us a head start in the market for our independently developed chips."
"We have been able to seize the opportunity long enough. Graphene chip samples and production line designs are now in the laboratory. When the acquired subsidiary completes its reorganization, we can start production at any time. And I believe that even if they don't have our patents Authorization will not stop using our public information for technology research and development. After all, according to the anti-monopoly law, we have to open authorization sooner or later. Since they will not have graphene chips for sale tomorrow, there is no difference between early authorization and late authorization. It means so much.”
Anyway, the Future People Group will be ahead of them on graphene chips. (.)
