Chapter 1550 Compromise
Fishing, eating seafood, sailing the yacht to the sea to watch the sunrise and sunset, and taking the children to the back of the island hotel to see seabirds.
When Wen Chen was about to start school, the family trip officially ended.
Everyone packed up and went home together.
Fly to Magic City first, and then fly to Yanjing from wherever you are. Xiao Wenwu doesn't want to go to school yet, so Yang's mother plans to take her grandson over for two more days and let Baiqian deal with the things at hand first, and then go home from there.
Father Yang took a flight from the Magic City to Zhucheng, and then took a bus home from there.
When Yang Dongxu ended his family's National Day trip, several lawsuits involving technology patents, both large and small, had recently occurred in the European and American economic circles.
The lawsuit was not very sensational and did not even receive much media coverage, but its impact was extremely far-reaching.
On the second day after his National Day holiday, Yang Dongxu didn't have time to deal with the company matters at hand, so he flew directly to the UK, and Dai'er accompanied him.
This time Yang Dongxu did not stay in a private manor in the suburbs, but went directly to Buckingham Palace.
Apart from the mystery given to this building by the royal family, Buckingham Palace is simply an ancient building with history. Although it is luxurious inside, there is not much that makes Yang Dongxu amazing.
Because the more it resembles a royal family or a house where nobles live, the more regular it is, except for those antique objects that are randomly taken out and are astonishing.
Others actually look less magnificent than a rich man's villa.
Of course, when you enter Buckingham Palace, there is a guard of honor to welcome you, and William, currently the second in line of succession to the royal family, stands at the door to welcome you.
This kind of treatment cannot be given by ordinary money, because it has exceeded the limit of what material can represent and has risen to the spiritual level.
A handshake, a simple hug, and after passing by the honor guard and walking directly into Buckingham Palace, there was no podium, not even a reporter for news interviews.
William gave him enough courtesy as he should have, but he was exempted from the media reporting, because this time it caused some unnecessary sensation and trouble.
Entering Buckingham Palace and passing through the doors, Yang Dongxu came to the main reception hall and saw the Queen who could only be seen on TV and newspapers before.
This is a very kind old lady. She is not very tall. She even walks like an old lady with bound feet in the past. But the eyes are very bright and pure. Behind the purity lies a story that no one else can understand in this life.
"Welcome to be our guest," the Queen said with a kind smile.
"This is my honor." Yang Dongxu smiled and shook hands with the other party.
First there was a brief meeting and a few words of conversation before the Queen left beforehand, leaving Yang Dongxu with William on his middle finger in the living room.
After looking around, he found no one else, not even the father of William, the first in line to the throne.
Yang Dongxu generally understood that this matter would be handed over to William with full authority. This was an exercise and a test.
The old lady just came to stand down for her grandson, and at the same time, she was polite to meet Yang Dongxu and say hello.
After all, everyone has come in. As the head of the family, he doesn't even show his face to say hello. This is too disrespectful to the guests.
"Let's talk in another living room next to it." William stood up with a smile.
Yang Dongxu stood up and followed, and the two of them walked slowly and exchanged a few words. Arriving at another living room, Sandway, Charles and others were already waiting inside.
William sat in the main seat, while Yang Dongxu took the second seat.
Don't think that the seating issue is just a Chinese red tape. Many TV and newspapers reported that both the president and other political figures in the United States are very casual, and some sit down anywhere. They are not as rigid as the Chinese at all, and they still stick to the ancient 'dross'.
What the eyes see is not always true, especially when people who can manipulate television and the media want you to see what they want.
Not only celebrities and entertainers have character designs, but many politicians also have them. They rely on this kind of personality to create a persona that is friendly to the people, thereby adding points to their image.
In fact, seniority can be found everywhere, and the degree of class rigidity in Europe and the United States is even worse than that in China. The most important tool to maintain class rigidity is rules.
These rules are very beneficial to people in the upper class. Do you think they will abandon these rules and have a family relationship with people at the bottom?
"I'll just sit down and explain briefly." Everyone had arrived, and it was at the beginning of the small conference room that Dean opened his mouth and introduced the current affairs.
After William and others joined forces, they have basically blocked the US Department of Commerce's investigation into the security of Honor mobile phones.
But it was only a preliminary resistance, not a complete victory, and the opponent had no intention of giving up.
However, the stalemate is not a one-sided situation, so this matter has the conditions to be discussed with each other at the negotiating table. If the negotiation does not go well, a more intense conflict will naturally follow.
If after a fierce conflict, one party still cannot defeat the other party and win, then sit at the negotiating table again.
In this way, there is constant back and forth, constant conflict, and constant negotiation. When in the end the profits from the conflict cannot make up for the costs incurred by the conflict.
Then the two sides will reach the critical point of each other, and then the two parties will take this negotiation as the final result, and each will take their own gains and develop peacefully for a period of time, waiting for the next time to continue to fight for another benefit point.
"The situation is generally good at present, but the other party's attitude of not wanting to let go has been shown. However, they have no intention of fighting to the death, so we must make certain concessions in this negotiation.
Of course, while making concessions, the other party must also come up with something that is in our interests. After our discussion, the comprehensive suggestion is to give up some smartphone technology in exchange for the other party to stop and give up on the lithography machine."
After Dean's voice fell, everyone looked at Yang Dongxu, because all the smartphone technology was in his hands.
At the same time, the patented technology used this time obviously cannot be the technology currently available on the market, and several core technologies need to be bleed.
"Can the lithography machine be shipped back to China?" Yang Dongxu said.
Dean and others paused.
Yang Dongxu shrugged, "It seems that it won't work. Since this one doesn't work, it's obviously a problem you need to solve, but in the end I need to sell my patented technology to solve it. What can I get from it?
Don't tell me that you can further expand the market and make more money. This is the premise of our cooperation. Otherwise, why would I want to cooperate with you, right?"
His words were very straightforward and impolite. So Picken and others frowned. From the beginning when they talked about cooperation with Yang Dongxu, the people present knew that this Chinese was very difficult to deal with.
But compared to those humble Chinese who are willing to suffer a little loss occasionally. Yang Dongxu's strength and aggressiveness repeatedly refreshed their perception of Chinese people.
"What kind of return do you think you should get to satisfy you?" It was Gerd who spoke.
This old smoker has never stopped smoking since Yang Dongxu entered the room.
"It's not what I need to be satisfied. It's what you think we should get in return for this concession so that we won't suffer a loss." Yang Dongxu leaned back in his chair and crossed his hands on his abdomen.
"The other party only wants technology this time, instead of wanting to take a bite all at once, in addition to thinking that we are difficult to deal with, they are also very confident in Apple, which has begun to transform scientific research results.
That is to say, they have obtained these technologies to accelerate the incubation of Apple, and they are confident that they can defeat us with Apple after Apple comes out.
So this transaction is not just as simple as a few technical patents, but we accelerate the growth of our opponents, and accelerate the rapid growth of an opponent who may defeat us. And if I fail, I can go back to China, what about you?"
Yang Dongxu's words made the small reception room quiet instantly.
William's face was still natural, and Jerde's drooping eyelids continued to look at the cigar in his mouth, and occasionally took a sip of espresso.
Dean looked at the table in front of him expressionlessly, as if the pattern on it attracted him very much.
And Picken, Sandway and Charles, the three Wall Street bosses, became extremely solemn.
The relaxed expressions were the same as Yang Dongxu, that is, even if this business failed, although it had an impact on their own industry, it was not a fatal impact, and they could return to their respective territories to continue their previous business.
But the three Wall Street tycoons tried their best to step into the threshold blocked by the consortium for their status and position, and they have no way back.
If the investment fails this time, they will be punished by the consortium.
"So I can provide technical patents, but you also need to pay attention to what you can get in return. Photolithography machines are necessary, and continuing to expand the market is also necessary.
Even if we are really defeated by Apple next year, with more than half a year of market expansion, we will lose more slowly and make more money, right?"
Yang Dongxu broke the silence.
The reason why he came up to knock these people is to let them understand that although he is a major shareholder, the money is shared by everyone, not just him.
If this cooperation is unsuccessful, the loss is for everyone, not just him.
"What do you think?" Piken asked.
"Regarding the technical patents that can be transferred, I will ask my assistant to prepare a document later. You should have a deep understanding of the consequences that will occur once these technologies are obtained by the other party, and find out the value of these technical patents.
Then we will discuss how to transfer those technical patents so that the other party will be satisfied without letting the other party grow too fast, and what we can get in exchange for these technologies to make it worthwhile.
In addition, I will draw a range for the exchange. The benefits obtained from the other party must be linked to high technology, such as semiconductor technology, and of course, the lithography machine must be obtained.
Also, you should think about how to use this matter to quietly loosen up the Internet companies and let them develop faster and better.
The smartphone field and the Internet field are industries that the consortium has not yet fully controlled. Since they attach so much importance to smartphones now, we have to give in, and the other side must get the most benefits.
That is, before they can strangle us on the Internet, let the Internet companies grow. When they want to attack the Internet companies again, even if we lose, we can sell them at a good price with enough chips in our hands, right?"
After Yang Dongxu said the last sentence, the sarcastic smile on his face was not concealed.
This is no longer a veiled sarcasm, this is an open mockery. He is pointing at the noses of everyone present and mocking them. He is mocking them for not doing their own things well, and in the end he needs to come up with patented technology to settle this matter.
Later, he may have to sell some Internet-related industries.
Yang Dongxu is reserved as a Chinese, but if he is still reserved at this time, it is not because he has recuperated, but because he has a problem with his brain.
It is no exaggeration to say that the conflict of interests is a life-and-death struggle. You are still pretending to be polite here. If it is not a problem with your brain, what is it?
Of course, this is only said privately in a small meeting room like this. To the outside world, he is definitely still the humble, polite, kind and charitable Chinese.
