Chapter 326 The Exhibition Ends
The contract between Dingtian Company and Philips was successfully signed, which made Bai Zirui breathe a sigh of relief. The patented technology that was not obtained by Siemens was obtained by Philips.
Although the performance of Philips motors is not as advanced as that of Siemens motors, he knows the technological development in the field of motors and can avoid many detours, allowing Dingtian Company to develop a power system for large-scale 9-axis 5-linkage CNC machine tools in the future.
With the patented technology of brushless motors, it will be much easier for Dingtian Company to enter the field of home appliances. Home appliances such as air conditioners and washing machines all need to be driven by brushless motors.
Philips electric shavers are in a leading position in the world. They thought that licensing the motor and technology to Dingtian Company was irrelevant. After all, there were many companies buying patent licensing and production technology from Philips. Dingtian Company did not have any technical reserves and could not compete with them.
Philips forms a competitor.
Dingtian Company exchanged and purchased patented technologies with Philips. Only the electric shaver project could be launched immediately. Bai Zirui had already planned two electric shavers in his mind, and other technologies had to be digested slowly.
Bai Zirui feels that the negotiations with Panasonic and RCA are no longer so important. He is not prepared to license too many Walkman manufacturers. This is a product that can be sold for 30 years. Sony has sold 220 million units, an average of 20 million units per year.
Stable sales volume above Taiwan.
Bai Zirui's meeting with Matsushita Konosuke was at a Springfield restaurant. He had arranged company affairs, and Meng Jianhua drove him to the Springfield restaurant. When Bai Zirui arrived, Matsushita Konosuke had already arrived in advance. He was talking to this restaurant
The owner of the store, Haruta Ichiro, was chatting. Bai Zirui didn't disturb them. Seeing that they were chatting happily, they must have known each other for a long time.
Konosuke Matsushita has seldom gone abroad since retiring to the second line. He only participates when Matsushita makes important decisions. He decided to make an exception and go to the battle in person to meet Bai Zirui.
After Konosuke Matsushita finished chatting with Ichiro Haruta, he said to Bai Zirui: "Mr. Bai, it's not bad here!"
Bai Zirui said: "The layout of the hotel is okay, but I don't know how the hotel tastes!"
Matsushita Konosuke smiled and said: "Chuntian, someone is challenging you! Bai Jun's father is the descendant of Tan's cuisine, the famous official cuisine in China. Bai Jun himself is also very proficient in cooking, and he is famous in both the capital and Xiangjiang in mainland China.
You own a catering company that operates Chinese food and Western fast food respectively, so don’t lose face for a while.”
With his energy, Bai Zirui's identity was naturally found out clearly by him. After listening to his words, Haruta Ichiro said solemnly: "Matsushita-kun, since Bai-kun is a colleague, it seems that I will go into battle in person.
, you can’t smash your own sign in front of Mr. Bai, you sit down first and I’ll go prepare it.”
Bai Zirui and Matsushita Konosuke were led by the waiter to a private room. The two of them knelt down on the tatami facing each other according to the way of eating Japanese cuisine.
Matsushita Konosuke said: "Mr. Bai, let's talk about business after dinner, how about that?"
Bai Zirui said: "Guests are welcome, I will follow Matsushita-kun's arrangements."
While waiting for the food to be served, Bai Zirui asked Yukiko Matsushita for some experience in managing a company. In about 20 minutes, Ichiro Haruta personally served all the dishes ordered by Yukiko Matsushita.
Matsushita Konosuke said: "Haku-kun, Haruta-kun's specialty is bluefin tuna. This dish he makes is very famous in Japan. Please try it to see if it suits your appetite."
After he finished speaking, he started to eat first. Bai Zirui saw that Matsushita Konosuke had already begun to eat the dishes. Bai Zirui picked up the chopsticks and started eating too. Not to mention that the food here tastes good. It is indeed a famous and famous person.
Bluefin tuna is the largest species of tuna. Its body is short and strong, its meat is delicate, rich in oil, light red in color, and tastes great. Of course, it is also very expensive, with each fish costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
.
After the two finished eating, they talked about business while drinking tea. Bai Zirui said straight to the point: "Panasonic-kun, your company wants to obtain the patent license for the Walkman and small CNC machine tools. These are not problems. It depends on Panasonic-kun."
Sincerity!"
Konosuke Matsushita smiled and said: "Mr. Bai, what do you think about Panasonic's investment in Dingtian Company? How about calculating it based on Wall Street's valuation of Dingtian Company?"
Bai Zirui shook his head and said: "I don't think so. I don't want to put a curse on my head, so let's talk about the patent licensing of the Walkman!"
Konosuke Matsushita said slightly disappointedly: "Okay! What technology licenses does Dingtian need to exchange? Our company has many patented technologies. Your company only has one patented technology, the Walkman. We will buy some small CNC machine tools."
Bai Zirui said: "I hope our company can obtain Panasonic's patented technology authorization for washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators. Our company will make up for the price difference with cash. There is no problem if your company wants to purchase small CNC machine tools."
Konosuke Matsushita frowned and said: "Mr. Bai, don't you think you are a little too greedy! Your company can only choose one patented technology from washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators for exchange."
Bai Zirui said: "This will put our company at a bit of a disadvantage. After all, only our company has the patented technology for the Walkman. The patented technology for washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators are technologies that any large home appliance company has. I want two of them.
Patented technology is exchanged for the patent license of the Walkman and small CNC machine tools.”
Konosuke Matsushita said: "Yes, the patented technology of the washing machine must be excluded." Panasonic's washing machines are in a leading position in the world, so naturally they will not license the patents easily.
Bai Zirui nodded and said: "Okay." He knew that this was Panasonic's bottom line. Core technologies were not easy to obtain, and even if they were obtained, they were backward technologies from a few years ago.
The next morning, the last day of the CES exhibition, Dingtian Company and Panasonic Company reached an agreement on the patent exchange of walkman and refrigerator and air conditioner.
Panasonic exchanged the technology and patent licensing of an air conditioner and a refrigerator for Dingtian's Walkman patent technology licensing. Panasonic was required to provide production lines for the two products and be responsible for technical guidance.
Dingtian Company exchanged small CNC machine tools of equal value for two production lines, with an annual output of 80,000 to 100,000 units, giving Dingtian Company a platform to get involved in large home appliances.
Dingtian Company and RCA Company negotiated for the authorization of LCD screens, but were severely extorted by RCA. Dingtian Company paid a price of US$8 million. Bai Zirui gritted his teeth and signed the contract, thinking about the landscape.
If we meet again, we have to find the place sooner or later.
Dingtian Company achieved its set goals at the CES exhibition. The rest of the company spent two days in Las Vegas and prepared to return to Xiangjiang. Bai Zirui took Pan Haizhou, Lu Dongliang and his assistant to Ashton-Tate Company for negotiations.
Dingtian Company made a splash at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas, and the media reports never stopped. Among them, the media in Xiangjiang even boasted about Dingtian Company. It is considered a technology company with technical content in Xiangjiang.
