Chapter 584: If this continues, I’m going to fall out
"Mr. Cao, as far as I know, the price you sell to Chinese companies is 20 soft sister coins per gram. Now you are telling us that you only have 10% profit."
Do you think we will believe it?" Edward Egan lowered his head, picked up the tea cup, glanced at Cao Mang and said.
Anyone else would have been very surprised to hear Edward Egan's words.
But Cao Mang acted very calmly.
Cao Mang was actually very surprised that some people were selling the price of graphene. Some of these people actually joined the Freemasons. Otherwise, how would the Freemasons know about this?
"Pa bang bang~"
Cao Mang immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Freemasons to be so powerful. I wonder if you have seen the contract. There is a stipulation in the contract between me and them.
Any company that produces research results must form a partnership with Kirin before it can be commercialized. Although the price I give them is very cheap, the quantity I give them is limited.
They are just tools to the Kirin Group."
Regarding the limited supply of Kirin to domestic companies, Edward Egan did not see the contract, so he did not know that there was such a provision in the contract.
All domestic enterprises are aware of this provision.
The staff of Kirin Materials also told them when signing the contract.
Although this rule of Kirin is a bit overbearing, domestic companies do not resist this rule because it is a great honor for them to have Kirin Group supporting them behind the scenes.
Which entrepreneur doesn’t want to find a strong backend?
Of course, Qilin only stipulates such a provision for most enterprises, and the contracts of some special units do not have such a provision.
Edward Egan fell silent again after hearing Cao Mang's words.
He really didn't expect that there was such a stipulation in Qilin's contract.
"In the future, Kirin Group must notify us three months in advance before launching new technologies." Edward Egan said after a silence.
Under such circumstances, he believed that Cao Mang did not lie to him. Since there was no way to continue the negotiation now, he could only propose a cooperation agreement.
"No problem, I want to know who told you about graphene." Cao Mang replied.
Notifying them three months in advance is nothing more than creating an opportunity for them to retreat.
For Cao Mang, it's just a small thing.
"Modu Emerging Technology Co., Ltd." Edward Egan replied truthfully.
The boss of this company is just a chess piece to them. In order to reach a cooperation agreement with Qilin, he must give it up when it is time to give it up. They still have many chess pieces like this in the country.
"We want the technology to replace ABF." Edward Egan said proactively when Cao Mang remained silent.
"What do you want in exchange?" Cao Mang asked.
"What do you want?" Edward Egan asked.
"Glenin's imitation rights." Cao Mang said.
ABF substitutes are low-profit products, but Cao Mang cannot give them to them for free. The other party has to come up with something to exchange for it. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to exchange for something.
"I am not the God of Medicine" had a profound impact on Cao Mang, so Cao Mang asked for the right to imitate Glenin.
Money is just a number to Cao Mang, he just wants to help a group of leukemia patients in China.
In fact, Cao Mang also has a method for making targeted drugs for leukemia in his mind.
It's just that he doesn't want to use this technology.
Because this business span is too big for Kirin. You have just led the other side in chip technology, and now you have achieved a breakthrough in medicine. This can easily attract the attention of think tanks from special institutions.
At that time, someone might secretly take him away the next day and have him sliced into pieces.
Edward Egan was a little surprised that Cao Mang wanted the right to imitate Glenin.
Surprised. Surprised.
However, he did not intend to ask Cao Mang why he wanted the right to imitate Glenin.
After all, what both parties are doing is an exchange of interests.
It’s just a question of whether it’s worth it, not why.
Edward Egan began to calculate the profit difference between the two in his mind.
"No problem." Edward Egan replied after thinking about it.
You must know that ABF materials can only be manufactured by Ajinomoto from the Neon Country. Using China's market share to pay back a stuck technology is a matter of profit but not loss for them.
With this technology, they can better control the semiconductor industry in Neon Country.
"Edward, that's pretty much what needs to be mentioned. After all, reciprocity is important in doing business." Cao Mang said after lighting a cigarette.
The meaning of what Cao Mang said was very simple: You no longer have what I want, and you have already taken advantage of me. If you raise any objections again, I will turn against you.
"The memory manufacturers in the lighthouse country cannot fail. Kirin must help us OEM a new generation of memory, and we must do it. This is our last request." Edward Egan thought for a while and said.
The matter has almost been discussed, and Cao Mang has already expressed his position. He knows that enough is enough, and if this continues, the talks will really fall apart.
"There is no problem for Qilin to help you OEM, but Qilin will take 90% of the profits." Cao Mang said.
"Okay, but Qilin must keep it a secret." Edward Egan gritted his teeth and said.
If he were not afraid of the collapse of the memory manufacturer, he would not agree to this condition. After all, 19 points is too much.
10% of profits are not enough to cover the operating expenses of these companies.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. It is better not to make money than to suffer an avalanche.
Memory companies have already done research and development evaluations, and it will take a year at the earliest for them to develop DDR3.
If they don't cooperate with Kirin Group, the entire memory market will be robbed by Kirin. By the time they develop new memory, they may have gone bankrupt.
Even if they survive, the stock market cannot survive. If the stock price crashes, they will lose at least tens of billions of dollars.
It's better to give the profits to Kirin first, wait until their technology catches up, and then keep their current market share first.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Cao Mang stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Edward Egan shook hands with Cao Mang and said.
Overall, they made a profit from this transaction, but it will depend on whether their scientists can do their best, if they cannot overtake Kirin within five years.
Then the semiconductor market will be dominated by the Kirin Group, and the world structure will undergo huge changes in the future.
But how could they surpass Qilin in front of Gua B?
The negotiation is now over.
Edward Egan and Jerry O'Connor also left Kirin Group.
They have to rush back to write a report to the headquarters to report the matter. After the headquarters approves it, the next step is to sign the contract. Of course, not all contents can be signed.
Some contents can only remain as verbal promises.
For example, they ensure that Kirin products can flow smoothly in Europe.
