Chapter 653: Time Moves and World Changes
In the East China Sea Building of the Planetary Defense Council.
Fang Zhenguo and several staff officers from the headquarters received Ralph Cook's White Eagle representatives in a courteous and thoughtful manner.
"Dear Mr. Fang, I think we should sit down and talk about patent licensing." Ralph Cook showed a brotherly friendly smile.
On the way here by taking the extended Lincoln, he had already received accurate information from the White Eagle Intelligence Bureau that the Eastern Navy Academy of Sciences had indeed used a more advanced semiconductor technology, which made the miniaturization of the solar furnace complete as scheduled.
When he was in the car, he repeatedly asked the agents of the Intelligence Bureau to confirm the authenticity of the news, and after getting a positive answer, he had no choice but to put on such a friendly attitude.
He didn't want to change his attitude.
If the miniaturization progress of the solar furnace is completed, it means that the patents he holds in his hand will become waste.
Not only that, because there is no authorized patent, it cannot be qualified for ordering solar furnaces, and this result is the worst.
Before Ralph Cook brought the team over, the White Eagles gave him a few goals.
The first goal is to technically invest in solar furnace research and development projects.
If this goal can be achieved, the White Eagle Nation will be able to possess controllable nuclear fusion technology.
Mastering this technology means that White Eagle can directly transform existing war weapons such as nuclear-powered motherships and submarines, and can directly obtain a nuclear fusion-powered fleet.
If the first goal cannot be achieved, then the White Eagle Congress has also arranged a less satisfactory goal, which is to purchase a solar furnace and then obtain the technology in it through dismantling.
The White Eagle Congress is very confident. With its own scientific and technological strength, it is fully confident that it can master the technology of the solar furnace through dismantling.
Therefore, after Ralph Cook learned that the Eastern Navy Academy of Sciences was about to complete the miniaturization of the solar furnace, he found that the first goal could not be achieved, so he hurried over to strive for the second goal given by Congress.
Before coming over, he asked his assistant to look for the patent licensing contract that was torn in half three days ago, but it had already been dumped into the trash can and taken away.
Representatives from both sides met.
Fang Zhenguo shook hands with him with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, please sit down first."
Ralph Cook couldn't sit still, and said again: "Mr. Fang, I think we should work more efficiently. Let's talk about patent licensing."
Fang Zhenguo maintained a polite smile, raised his left hand, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "It's been 3 days and 58 minutes since we met last time. Therefore, the promise I made three days ago is no longer valid. Now If you don’t sign it, it’s not a breach of trust.”
"No, no, Mr. Fang, you need our country's patented technology, so that you can complete the research and development of the solar furnace faster." Ralph Cook began to lobby.
"Mr. Cook, I'm very sorry. I'm not in charge of the research and development work, so I don't know which technology to use is better. However, according to the information given to me by the Academy of Military Sciences, we no longer need your country's patent authorization. "Fang Zhenguo spread his hands and smiled, his smile was very friendly, like a spring breeze.
However, Ralph Cook felt that the smile was cold and piercing.
He forced himself to remain calm, and continued to lobby: "As far as I know, all the alternative technologies you find have generational differences. Only our technology can perfectly solve these problems."
Fang Zhenguo nodded and said: "Scientists in our country say that this problem does exist. However, if you don't care about power consumption, making the parts bigger can also achieve the desired performance.
"It seems that the volume of the re-modified solar furnace is 5% larger than the original plan? I'm not sure about the data. Anyway, I heard from the R&D team that it has no effect on the solar furnace, but only consumes a few more kilowatt-hours of electricity. Anyway, the solar furnace It’s done, and the difference of a few kilowatt-hours is negligible.”
Ralph Cook's face became even more ugly. He took a deep breath and continued: "Okay, stop acting. I know you need our country's patented technology. Now you can talk about patent licensing, as long as you give me a satisfactory answer." price."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cook, the order I received did not include the purchase of semiconductor-related patents with your country, so you should be thinking too much." Fang Zhenguo spread his hands again.
Ralph Cook took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and said in a deep voice, "You have to think carefully, this is your last chance to obtain the most advanced semiconductor technology."
Fang Zhenguo spread his hands and said: "I'm sorry, if it was three days ago, I would have purchased your country's semiconductor-related patent authorization, but now I really don't need it.
"The reason, I can't tell you too much. However, according to my experience, as long as it is something that can be produced in our country, it will become the price of cabbage. This is good news for consumers, but for your country For the company, it is not necessarily good news.
"I suggest that companies in your country should stop thinking about making huge profits, and be prepared to sell related products at a 10% discount."
Ralph Cook was so angry that his expression was very ugly, but he still forced himself to remain calm, and said: "Technology accumulation is not that simple, and the solar furnace project is not the only thing that you need advanced semiconductor technology. You want to buy these Granted by the patent, admit it."
"Why don't you tell me what you want." Fang Zhenguo didn't respond to his words, but threw a question back.
"It's very simple. Our country wants to buy solar furnaces, and it must be the first batch of solar furnaces to be sold." Ralph Cook made this request.
Fang Zhenguo did not immediately refuse, but said, "Are you sure you want to buy?"
"Yes, I'm sure I want to buy it." Ralph Cook replied very simply.
Before he came here, he had already called Congress to determine the minimum goal.
"That one is expensive."
Fang Zhenguo looked very leisurely.
At this moment, he finally understood what it was like to master absolute technological strength.
At this point in time, controllable nuclear fusion technology is the most powerful technological force, and no technology can compare with this technology.
Therefore, the current solar furnace is the peak technological product at the present stage of technological civilization.
Moreover, only Huaxia can manufacture solar furnaces.
Therefore, what China says now is what it is, and it can offer whatever price it wants. .
"Make an offer." Ralph Cook took a deep breath, knowing that he would definitely be slaughtered this time, but he could only endure it.
As long as they get the solar furnace and get the controllable nuclear fusion technology from it, the White Eagle Kingdom can still return to the top and sit in the position of world hegemony, which no one can shake.
Only by maintaining the status of the world's hegemon, the price paid now can be doubled in the future.
