Chapter 515: You Think the Flowers Are so Beautiful when They Bloom (Repay Your Debt at the Third Update)
Chapter 515 You think the flowers will bloom, but you think they are beautiful~ (Three more updates to pay back the debt)
After the two cooperation agreements were handed over to Liu Lianxiang and Ni Dashen, Ni Dashen read them very carefully, especially those involving technical requirements, and he carefully considered every word.
After reading only a few pages, Liu Lianxiang expressed his opinions in succession.
"Ms. Veronica, how do you pay us for your research expenses?"
"In addition, can you not pay the research funds in three installments, because scientific research projects are continuous, and if they are interrupted in the middle, all the previous efforts may be wasted."
"In addition, the liquidated damages you set are too high. For a cooperation project of one million US dollars, the liquidated damages are actually ten million US dollars. This is not in line with the national conditions of the mainland at all. No one will accept such cooperation conditions."
"Student Li Ye, please help translate it."
Veronica is a big blonde and blue-eyed beauty. When she came last time, she stood next to Pei Wencong and basically didn't speak.
So Liu Lianxiang thought that Li Ye's translation was for her.
But Veronica looked at Liu Lianxiang and said, "For research funds, we hope to pay through Nanyang Bank transfer,
The payment will be divided into three times because we are not sure whether you can develop the products we need on time,"
"As for the penalty, as long as Mr. Liu does not breach the contract, it is just a line of nonsense."
"."
Liu Lianxiang and others were stunned for a moment, because Veronica spoke Mandarin, although not very standard, but it was completely able to communicate.
At this time, Liu Lianxiang understood what Li Ye meant by "taking money for free".
You are just here to make soy sauce!
Li Ye had no time to pay attention to Liu Lianxiang at this moment, and his attention was on Master Ni.
Because Master Ni had been looking at a page of the cooperation agreement for a long time, and there was still no sign of turning it.
[Is the technology difficult? No way? ]
Li Ye remembered that the first program-controlled switch approved for access to the network in the mainland was successfully developed in recent years, and it was a subordinate factory of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Master Ni has a long-standing reputation, so he shouldn't be stumped, right?
Luo Runbo saw Li Ye's concentration, and then noticed Master Ni who was thinking hard.
So he said gently: "Mr. Ni, do you have any questions about our cooperation requirements?"
"Yes~"
Master Ni didn't wait for Liu Lianxiang and others to wink at him, and asked truthfully: "Excuse me, the technical standards you require are equal to or higher than Fujitsu's F150 model, right?"
Luo Runbo nodded and said: "Yes, if the product performance is lower than F150, then we have no technical advantages, and it will be difficult to promote it in the market."
Master Ni nodded and said: "I have another question, that is, your supplementary clause on the research period is a bet, right?"
Luo Runbo nodded and said: "Yes, you can choose to shorten the R&D cycle according to your own technical strength. If you succeed, the bonus will be doubled. If you fail, you will have to pay liquidated damages."
"Buzz~"
Everyone in the computer department was surprised and started to talk about it.
They had expected the compensation, after all, Western capital likes to use this trick to scare people.
But they had never encountered such a thing as doubling the profit for successful research in advance.
In the era of "working hard, working fast and rushing to work", completing the task ahead of time will get a few enamel cups, which is a sought-after honor.
But if a large bonus is given on top of this honor, wouldn't it be even better?
Liu Lianxiang quickly turned to the supplementary terms and looked excited after studying it carefully.
The basic amount of this cooperation is 500,000 US dollars, which is already a lot. If it can increase by another 250,000, or even double to 1 million.
"Old Ni, do you have the confidence to complete the research and development task within a year?"
Liu Lianxiang asked Master Ni directly, and the question was the highest reward.
Master Ni remained silent, as if he was not sure.
"Old Ni, think about it again"
Liu Lianxiang was a little anxious, and his words were already a bit oppressive.
This is also the habit of mainland managers. When setting tasks, the first thing to consider is what they can get after doing it. As for how to do it, that is what the subordinates should consider.
I only want the results, not the process.
You can't do it, it's your inability and your attitude.
Ni Dashen suddenly raised his head and asked Luo Runbo with burning eyes: "What if we succeed in developing it in six months? Will it be 1.5 million US dollars?"
"."
"Old Ni, you..."
Liu Lianxiang was about to say that Old Ni had miscalculated, it should be 1.25 million US dollars, not 1.5 million US dollars, but the technical team on Hong Kong Island was in chaos with a "boom".
Several technicians kept saying something in Cantonese, and their faces were a little disdainful and contemptuous.
Li Ye, the translator who was paid for nothing, felt that he should play a role.
"They don't believe you, saying that you may be a group of liars. With the level of semiconductor technology in the mainland, it is impossible to develop a product that exceeds F150 within six months."
Liu Lianxiang and others were stunned and a little angry.
Master Ni said bluntly: "That's just what they think. Since I said six months, it means six months. Just ask them if they are willing to accept this bet agreement."
Li Ye smiled and said to Luo Runbo: "Successful development in six months, one million and five hundred thousand dollars, this condition is very cost-effective, okay, do you accept it?"
[Boss, you said it is cost-effective, do I have the courage to refuse it? ]
But Luo Runbo asked Master Ni again: "Mr. Ni, you will sign the gambling clause, right?"
Master Ni said calmly: "Yes, as long as you provide research funds on time, I guarantee that the development will be successful in six months."
Luo Runbo nodded and turned to communicate with Veronica and others.
And the people in the technical team still did not believe Master Ni's half-year agreement.
Finally, Veronica asked Master Ni: "Hello, Mr. Ni, I don't know the scientific research situation in the mainland, but my technical team has raised a few questions about your scientific research strength, I hope you can answer them."
The technical team of Hong Kong Island began to ask questions, and asked several questions in a row. Master Ni gave professional answers one by one, and Li Ye also acted as a translator several times.
In fact, Li Ye was not worried that Mr. Ni would not be able to answer these questions, because engineers from ordinary Western companies are not on the same level as these researchers from top research institutes in the mainland, let alone people like Mr. Ni.
In the end, Li Ye smiled and said to Veronica: "They should not question Mr. Ni, because this is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a place where miracles are created."
"Oh, a place where miracles are created."
Veronica looked at Li Ye and did not raise any objections.
Pei Wencong did not tell her about Li Ye's identity, but she followed Pei Wencong to Beijing many times and realized that this handsome Oriental man had a special relationship with his boss.
"Hahaha, what Li Ye said is very insightful! Our unit has nothing but miracles, such as nuclear weapons, rockets, satellites, etc.
At the beginning, many people did not believe us, but in the end, facts proved that as long as we want to do it, there is nothing we can't do."
"In addition, we have a unique advantage in undertaking your research project, that is, we can be responsible for sales, and we have a good relationship with enterprises and institutions in the mainland."
Liu Lianxiang quickly entered the familiar conversation mode and led the topic from the technical level to the sales level.
"Ms. Veronica, Mr. Luo, you may not know much about the mainland. Products like program-controlled switches need to deal with the postal and telecommunications departments. Technology is important, but personal connections are more important."
Veronica and Luo Runbo listened very carefully. After all, the situation in the mainland is indeed different from that in the West.
But Li Ye's face became strange.
Cooperation: You do the technical research, we are responsible for production, and we let you sell it after production. Then aren't we your OEM factory? You think it's a good idea!
Luo Runbo had been paying attention to Li Ye. Seeing his strange expression, he immediately asked, "Student Li Ye, do you know anything about the situation in the mainland?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "I only know that technology is the primary productive force, and I don't understand the relationship between people."
"."
Veronica and Luo Runbo whispered to each other for a few words, and then quickly interrupted Liu Lianxiang's thoughts and did not continue to discuss sales.
Two hours later, the two sides finally reached a cooperation agreement, and Ni Dashen solemnly signed his name on the agreement.
"Hahahaha, everyone is tired after talking for a whole morning. Let's go to dinner to celebrate our successful cooperation."
Liu Lianxiang greeted his friends in Hong Kong Island with a smile on his face, intentionally or unintentionally, showing his identity as a "talker".
Li Ye looked at Ni Dashen, who was faintly ranked behind, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When a group of hungry and cold people get together, the cohesion is very strong.
But once they become wealthy, all kinds of conflicts will arise within the group, which is why there is the saying "We can only share the joys and sorrows, but not the wealth and honor".
Now the small group that Master Ni is in is still working together, but when millions of dollars arrive and subsequent profits rise rapidly, it would be strange if there is no power struggle.
Trade, industry and technology and technology, industry and trade are not entirely a dispute over routes!
