Chapter 252: Give You a 10% Discount

Gao Zhendong and Jin Zhizhang were overjoyed. They never dreamed that it would be so easy.

I thought it would take a lot of effort before Zhao Min would agree, but just as he spoke, Zhao Min agreed. It seems that the wait for more than an hour just now was worth it.

I suddenly felt that I had misunderstood Zhao Min just now. Now, this woman seems to be much more lovely.

"Mr. Zhao is really refreshing." Gao Zhendong smiled, the depression just now had been swept away, and he felt relieved.

"Haha." Zhao Min smiled slightly: "I'm a businessman, and my main task is to make money." After speaking, she turned to look at Xiaoyu: "Go and print out the authorization agreement."

"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded lightly, turned to leave, and entered the reception room with a just-printed agreement after a while.

"This is the license agreement for the smart assistant." Zhao Min handed the license agreement to Gao Zhendong: "You can take it back and read it. It's fine after reading it, and you can sign it at any time."

Gao Zhendong took over the agreement, and now it seems that the other party is more anxious than them, which is a good thing for them, indicating that they have the opportunity to take the initiative in future cooperation.

The agreement is in English. After the female assistant next to Gao Zhendong took over the agreement, she began to look carefully.

Not long after, the female assistant's face changed slightly, she handed the agreement to Gao Zhendong, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gao Zhendong, who was in a good mood at first, immediately froze on his face with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Min asked strangely.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth next to her. She found that it was a waste for Zhao Min not to act.

"Mr. Zhao, is this agreement wrong?" Gao Zhendong took a deep breath and said, calming himself down.

"What's wrong?" Jin Zhizhang also looked at the female assistant.

The female assistant put the authorization agreement in front of Jin Zhizhang and pointed to one of the clauses above.

After seeing the content of the terms and conditions, Jin Zhizhang's smug face froze, his face twitched, and the weather turned cloudy.

Originally, they were in a good mood just now. After seeing the requirements of the agreement, their mood was like heaven falling into hell, and they felt like they were being tricked.

"You printed the wrong agreement?" Zhao Min looked at Xiao Yu.

"No, it's the authorization agreement for the smart assistant you mentioned." Xiao Yu blinked and said, her face was a little rosy, she didn't have Zhao Min's skills that were slander and nonchalant.

"That should be correct." Zhao Min looked at Gao Zhendong: "Is there any problem with the agreement? Are there any questions that can be raised."

"The licensing fee is 21.4% of the price of the whole machine? Is it too high?" Gao Zhendong asked through gritted teeth.

Such a high licensing fee is obviously a sign of not wanting to cooperate.

This is not good news.

"Is it high? As far as I know, at present, a $400 smartphone needs to pay about $50 for WiFi patent fees. WiFi costs $50, and our smart assistant charges $85. It doesn't seem wrong, right?

At $85, it is more than 500 Huaxia coins, which is quite a one-time purchase of a two-year smart assistant, and it will be given to you until the phone breaks. Is this price high? "Zhao Min said a little 'dazed'.

"Mr. Zhao, can't you count it like this?" Gao Zhendong was sulking in his heart.

Originally, Zhao Min said that he would authorize them, but he was still happy, but he was hanged in the air when he got up, and he couldn't get up or down, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"It's not like this, so tell me how to calculate it?" Zhao Min asked 'curiously'.

"Mr. Zhao, we don't buy a small amount individually, but for all mobile phones, we must use this technology. When buying a large amount, there must be an ex-factory price, not a container price, right?"

Gao Zhendong was almost not mad at Zhao Min. He didn't believe that Zhao Min managed the Marching Ant Company to its current scale. He didn't even understand these things.

"Is this calculated?" Zhao Min said in surprise: "Then I will give you a 10% discount and charge you 19.2% of the price of the whole machine."

"I……"

Gao Zhendong had the urge to swear at this moment, but he was abruptly held back.

"This price is already very low, and Mr. Gao doesn't accept this price, so we can't negotiate." Zhao Min said.

low? Is this price low?

19.2% of the price of the whole machine, even if it is calculated at 3,500 per mobile phone, the patent fee they have to pay to Army Ant Company for a mobile phone is nearly 700 yuan.

Their entire profit from a mobile phone is not so much. Even if the price goes up, they don't get that much profit. If the licensing agreement is signed, all the profits from their mobile phone business will fall into the pockets of the army ants, which means that they work for the army ants.

"Mr. Zhao, this price is too high, we can't accept it, we will give at most 3% of the price of the whole phone." Gao Zhennan said: "3% is a lot. According to the price of our mobile phone, on average, it will be more than 100 yuan per unit. Taiwan, according to our annual mobile phone shipments, you will increase at least more than 23 billion in revenue every year."

"Sounds tempting."

"Indeed, our company's mobile phone shipments last year were the number one." Gao Zhendong said a little proudly.

"How much you ship has nothing to do with us." Zhao Min shook his head and pointed to the agreement in the hand of the female assistant: "The license agreement has been given to you, 3% is impossible, and the price will not be lower."

"Mr. Zhao, is there any other way? Or if you authorize us to disclose the code of the smart assistant to us, we can consider giving you 10% of the price of the whole machine." Gao Zhendong looked at Zhao Min expectantly: " We ship more than 200 million mobile phones every year, and it is in the mid-to-high-end market, so there is a lot of money in it.”

"Haha." Zhao Min sneered unabashedly: "With such a little money, you want our smart code? Are you too dreamy?"

The technology of their smart assistant has not been patented and the technology is not public. Many people want to get their smart code. There have been espionage incidents before, but no one has ever succeeded.

Just like the seismograph, Chen Mo wanted to apply for a patent for the seismograph, but she stopped it. The advantage of a patent is that it has a legal monopoly for a certain period of time, but it means that the core technology is disclosed, and it is others who are ultimately cheaper.

At present, the core technology of Army Ant Company has not been disclosed. Maybe the people above know some of their artificial intelligence technology, because Chen Mo has traded with the above, and she knows it too.

Gao Zhendong wanted to use this money to get the code of their smart assistant, it was a dream.

The only person who can see the complete smart code in the company is Chen Mo. Other developers only have the right to call the code of a module, and it is not the core code.

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that your licensing fees for other companies are not that high." Jin Zhizhang said with a frown.

He knew that Zhao Min was probably a lot more difficult than he thought.

"Who is this?"

After the robot translated Jin Zhizhang's words, Zhao Min turned his attention to Gao Zhendong.

"He is Jin Zhizhang, deputy director of our marketing department." Gao Zhendong said.

"And you know that my authorization to other companies is lower than this price? Who did you listen to?" Zhao Min asked.

The licensing agreement is kept secret, and it is impossible for people from several companies to say these things casually to others, otherwise she would not mind terminating the licensing.

"Guess! No company can afford such a high licensing fee." Jin Zhizhang said.

"And then? What do you want to say?"

"You are abusing the dominance of the monopoly market by doing this, right? It's not good to deliberately suppress us?" Jin Zhizhang frowned, his tone a little displeased.

After hearing the robot's translation, Zhao Min smiled and stared at Jin Zhizhang: "Monopoly? Suppression? I think too much. Then what? Do you want to sue us?"

"..."

"Mr. Zhao, let's take a closer look at this licensing agreement, and then contact you after we decide. But the licensing fee is indeed too high. If it can be lower, it would be great." Gao Zhendong hurriedly said, Interrupted Jin Zhizhang who was about to speak.

Jin Zhizhang's character is a bit arrogant, and Zhao Min obviously wants to provoke him. This is the headquarters of the army ants. If there is a conflict, it will definitely be them. Once there is a problem, it will definitely make things worse for their Samsung mobile business.

"Little demon, send off a few guests." Zhao Min said to the little demon next to him.

"Okay, President." The robot stood up, looked at Gao Zhendong, and said in Korean, "Several gentlemen and ladies, please come with me."
