Chapter 660 New Year Comes, Good Luck Comes

"Aren't you going to Corning?"

Although he didn't participate in the business, Huang Jingping knew Feng Yiping's thoughts best.

Seeing that he was in the mood to drag her to wander around Fifth Avenue instead of going to Corning, which was close at hand, she felt a little strange.

She knew Feng Yiping's covetousness for Kang Ning's glass, which had a hard-to-pronounce name.

"No, let's welcome the new year here, and then go to Harvard Press together,"

This time when he came to New York, Feng Yiping didn't plan to go to Corning again. He had already been there twice, and there were various contacts in between. I believe what he meant, and the other side also understood.

If he is too concerned and determined to win, it may arouse Kang Ning's vigilance. After all, in the eyes of many people, his vision is first-class.

In that way, in addition to asking too high a price, they may have the worst possibility, that is, they would rather keep it in their hands than buy it.

Moreover, sometimes, this thing has to be done in reverse. The more you beg, the more likely the other party will put on airs, don't care about all kinds of disdain, but maybe you pretend to be indifferent After a while, they might take the initiative instead.

After hearing this, Huang Jingping smiled a little strangely, "Why do I feel that what you're talking about is not doing business, but playing hard to get?"

"Thinking about it, the reasoning is really similar. It seems that you really have a lot of experience in this area," Feng Yiping said to her with admiration.

"I have rich experience?" Huang Jingping suddenly got on the tigress, and wanted to pinch him severely.

Feng Yiping has been taught her three tricks many times, so how could she obediently stay where she was and suffer abuse? After speaking, she jumped to the side and smiled contentedly from a safe distance away.

However, today is different, Huang Jingping lightly touched her stomach a few times, then looked at this side with a smile, Feng Yiping walked back obediently, let her pinch his arm symbolically .

Pain is naturally painless, but this feeling of being coerced is very bad.

"Little baby, you must recognize your mother's true face in the future. When you were still in her belly, she took you as a hostage," Feng Yiping said to her swollen belly pretendingly.

... ... ...

Even if the ruins of 9/11 are still being cleaned up, even a few months ago, the scene of the World Trade Center Twin Towers collapsing, one of the symbols of the United States, is still clearly in people's minds, even if there is a lot of intelligence that Al Qaeda is still Planning an attack on the mainland of the United States... However, the New Year's Eve event in New York's Times Square, which has persisted for many years, will still be held as scheduled this year.

I have to say that as human beings who are the spirit of all things, we are really emotional sometimes.

The U.S. government hopes to show the world in this way that the U.S. mainland is still very safe.

And those people who decided to participate in the New Year's Eve activities seemed to be angry, "Terrorist attacks can't scare us!"

However, it is estimated that in this small area, there will be more than 500,000 people participating in this year's New Year's Eve. Such data makes people in relevant government departments sweat coldly on their foreheads.

With such a concentration of people, no weapons are needed, as long as there is a riot at the scene, the target can be easily achieved.

However, at this time, it is naturally not easy to retreat. We have to face the difficulties. In order to ensure the safe and smooth holding of this event, the US government and the New York City government racked their brains and made many arrangements in advance.

For example, that night, more than 7,000 police officers will be on duty at the scene, and Times Square, along with the 8 nearby blocks, will be under strict surveillance.

In addition, there are many detailed regulations. For example, all trash cans on the site will be cancelled, the manhole covers of the sewers will be welded shut, and people participating in the event will not be allowed to carry backpacks, and must undergo metal detector testing...

The NEXTDOOR website has naturally become a very good information release platform. From the federal government to New York State and the city, various units have published a lot of information similar to the strategy. Although there are many new regulations, I still want to tell everyone, From the sky to the ground, the prevention work has been done flawlessly, so you don't have to worry at all.

At 6:00 p.m., a bell-ringing ceremony was held in Times Square to commemorate the victims of 9/11. Afterwards, people from all directions slowly gathered.

"It's not easy with so many people!" Looking at the rare crowd below, Huang Jingping said with emotion.

In this place in the United States, it is really not easy to gather so many people.

However, they are not in Times Square now, but in the Hilton Times Square Hotel overlooking Times Square.

The degree of congestion below is the same as that of the subway on the Golden Line during the peak period. Virgins might get pregnant, and pregnant women might get a miscarriage. Feng Yiping, who has never been too lively, could not bring With a big belly woman like Huang Jingping, join in the fun below.

In fact, if Huang Jingping hadn't insisted on seeing it once, he wouldn't even want to participate. In the end, he made a compromise and chose a hotel very close to the square.

... ... ...

"Joanna, has Feng contacted you recently, such as after the festival?" Corning's vice president called Joanna from the public relations department.

Before Christmas, he received a gift and a phone call carefully prepared by Feng Yiping. As the Internet economy continues to deepen and the sales of related aspects of the group, such as optical fiber sales, are still greatly reduced, before the end of the year, he made the first special Feng Yiping's proposal was considered.

In such a bad world, it is not bad to use a technology that was originally obtained by accident, and now even the production technology is completely sealed, to realize it. In fact, it is not bad. Corning has many similar technologies.

After he put forward this opinion to the company, he quickly got the approval of some people. If there is no such thing, this technology may stay in the warehouse forever, but now everyone hears it. , There is no project with a bright future, and it can be exchanged for 8-figure US dollar cash, which is really not a bad idea.

After all, this technology is really just a momentary accident of a researcher, and the cost is extremely low.

So Benjamin, who has obtained the authorization, actually hopes to see Feng Yiping very much. Who knows that he just restrained himself and didn't mention it, which made Benjamin a little nervous now. If he pulls his face down, Feng Yiping Yiping changed his mind, he really didn't know how to explain to the board of directors.

That would be equivalent to the fact that the Queen Mother finally agreed with the Seventh Fairy and Dong Yong, but Dong Yong refused to be with the Seventh Fairy. That was a slap in the face!

Therefore, although he knew that contacting Feng Yiping proactively now would not be conducive to the next negotiation, he still contacted Feng Yiping and raised the matter.

On the first day of 2002, I received such news. Feng Yiping felt that this start could not be better!

However, when it comes to bargaining, when the other party is active, of course he has to deal with it negatively. He quietly wiped his saliva, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Benjamin very flatly, "I forgot about this a long time ago." However, since Mr. Benjamin still remembers my request from more than a year ago, I will definitely not let you go to waste, and I will seriously consider the opportunity you have won. It is just that I will jointly own this technology. I won’t think about it, either don’t, or buy it out!”

Just kidding, when glass-ceramic, that is, Gorilla Glass, comes in handy, if the technology is jointly owned, then Corning will definitely try its best to kick Jiasheng away.

Now that Corning intends to sell this technology, of course they must try to buy it all to avoid future troubles. Maybe the joint ownership of the technology is also their bargaining method, or they are still embarrassed to completely pull their faces, ha ha!

Three days later, Benjamin called again and agreed to completely transfer related technologies and crafts to Feng Yiping, and offered a price of 30 million US dollars.

This price, in fact, is really nothing, but of course it is not easy to agree so readily now, Feng Yiping immediately opened his mouth and paid back 10 million.

Regarding the transfer price, we chatted on the phone for a week, and then Benjamin suggested, "It's still 30 million US dollars, but the current glass-ceramic is 4 mm thick, which is actually a bit thick. Since you are using it to produce furniture, it's better to make it thinner. In this way, how about we organize expert public relations to reduce its thickness to 2 mm in a short period of time?"

Later, Apple was very arrogant and arrogant in the domestic market. Feng Yiping has always been a bit against the trend and has never used an Apple mobile phone. He has always used a domestic smartphone, so he actually doesn’t know about the frequency screen glass of Apple’s mobile phone. The thickness, but two millimeters, is it still a bit thick?

However, this Benjamin was really thinking for himself, and he actually took the initiative to mention this, reducing the thickness by half while improving performance. This is very simple for a glass giant like Corning, but it is really true for other companies. Not an easy task.

If Jiasheng gets the technology and optimizes it himself, not to mention the manpower and material resources invested, at least he dare not say with certainty like Benjamin that this can be done in a short period of time.

"1.5 mm, 20 million US dollars," Feng Yiping continued to bargain.

... ... ...

"Happy cooperation!" Buchanan and Benjamin, after signing the agreement and exchanging, Feng Yiping said while holding the hand of President Corning.

This is a very low-key signing ceremony that was not made public.

Before school started in January, Jiaqiang finally reached an agreement with Corning, and the final price was 25 million US dollars.

After the agreement was signed, Buchanan felt, why does his boss seem a little absent-minded?

He observed well. With this agreement, Feng Yiping really doesn't care much about other things now, but whether it's at Corning or on the car back to New York, he can't be very happy. It's really hard to hold back the laughter!

It wasn't until he got back to the hotel and locked himself in the bathroom that he laughed undisguisedly, "I finally picked up a big leak!"
