How much is a game of Go worth?
No one in the room could say anything.
Yang Minghui actually understood it, he paid for it.
But now I don’t understand it anymore. I feel dizzy and want to ask but I don’t dare to ask.
He really wanted to ask: "Mr. Li, are you serious?"
I looked down at the contract and saw a very common confidentiality agreement and intellectual property registration agreement.
After reading it, I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, are you serious about this amount?"
"Is it true or not? How can I hide it from you two professionals?"
Li Zehua smiled, tapping the table with his right hand, and was in a good mood: "If there is no problem, we will talk after signing."
Yang Minghui glanced at Fang Guozhong, but the latter looked calm and composed, with no desire to explain.
He had no choice but to pick up the contract and read it again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and signed his name.
Seeing his constipated look, Fang Zhonghua beside him said with a smile: "The five-year cooperation with a guaranteed minimum of 20 million RMB, if Director Yang thinks it's too little, why not transfer it to me."
Fang Zhonghua is envious and jealous of the real-name system!
Is it so profitable to deal in intellectual property these days?
However, Fangyuan International’s main business direction is different. I am thinking about going back to the law firm and finding a few partners in the field of intellectual property?
I vaguely remember that when we first started working together, Mr. Li mentioned a person who was studying for a doctorate in France and seemed to be majoring in this area?
It’s easier to get things done if you have acquaintances!
Although Fangyuan International has signed a five-year contract with a guaranteed minimum of tens of millions this time, who would complain about having too much money?
Yang Minghui did the same thing and glared at him unhappily, "Don't worry about that, Director Fang."
Then he turned around and asked Li Zehua: "Mr. Li, although I don't know the specific reason for the time being, based on my professional level, Yanjing has made a judgment.
Kaiyue International Law Firm can take on your company's affairs in the north and provide assistance in patent applications.
In Pengcheng, Junwei Law Firm can also be used.
But the Hong Kong issue may involve the American background, and I am not sure whether it will have an impact on this cooperation.
In addition, we have accumulated sufficient connections in intellectual property for the talent team you need in various fields such as electronic information.
The first choices are China Europe International Business School, China University of Electronic Science and Technology, Yenching University of Electronic Science and Technology, and several comprehensive universities in Shanghai.
I believe that under the background of industry-research integration, these scientific research teams will not refuse to cooperate.”
"Very good. Every time we negotiate a technical team, I will pay your company the corresponding fees according to the contract."
This is exactly the effect Li Zehua wanted. If he were asked to find someone to study QR codes and multi-dimensional codes, he would be completely in the dark.
Now with the help of the top domestic law firm, I can finally put my mind at ease.
“But we must remember that under the premise of absolute confidentiality, we must make it as clear as possible to the school that this is commissioned targeted research and development.
All theoretical foundations and scientific research results are exclusively owned by Qingyun Group. This is the premise!"
Yang Minghui nodded carefully: "Don't worry, we will adopt the most rigorous working attitude when discussing cooperation."
"Very good. I'll leave this matter to Director Yang."
In addition to entrusting law firms and seeking technical support from university research teams, they also need legal protection.
In the early stage, it mainly involved domestic patent applications, and later it turned to foreign cooperative law firms for assistance.
It includes but is not limited to protection in areas such as patent authorization, patent cooperation, authorization, and infringement prosecution.
As soon as he gets the patent and turns the application prospects into a complete business plan, he will start lobbying various state-owned holding groups.
and strategic allies to quickly commercialize QR codes. Even if it is only used in the express delivery and food delivery industries in the early stages, it can develop a multi-billion-dollar market for necessities.
Li Zehua is confident that he will be able to win over powerful enough allies, and then no one will be able to circumvent the control of this system.
Don’t pay?
Send a team of lawyers to take action in no time and sue until the person goes bankrupt!
Lock the contract in the safe, and then continue:
“Although the main body of the contract this time is Qingyun Group, I believe that a new contract will be renewed soon.
The amount is definitely not just tens of millions. Please pay more attention to it, Director Yang and Director Fang. I believe our cooperation is by no means limited to this.
Perhaps you two will continue to benefit from today’s cooperation for a long time to come.”
As he spoke, he casually moved a few Go pieces on the table and said, "Director Yang, your law firm often helps various companies apply for patents.
You must have accumulated a lot of clients, can you help introduce some to them?"
"No problem, but what kind of business cooperation does Director Li need?"
Yang Minghui does not shy away from this at all, as it is a common phenomenon in the industry.
It’s like they are responsible for contacting the law firms in Yanjing and Pengcheng this time, and they can get commissions from them for introducing business.
Correspondingly, facilitating cooperation between enterprises is also part of the law firm's business. Companies that own patents are eager to have someone come to them seeking cooperation.
“Mobile phone manufacturing, cameras, screen glass, audio equipment, batteries and all other related companies involved in the whole machine.
In terms of radio communications, wireless network technology, etc., I would also like to ask Director Yang to provide a list of domestic companies.
If domestic technology is weak, please help collect corresponding foreign companies. I need a full set of information, including how to obtain authorization, cooperation methods, prices and all other services. "
After finishing speaking, Li Zehua thought for a moment and added: "There's no need to look for someone from Hon Hai Industrial."
Putting aside the relationship between the other party and Ahri, EMI is destined to be a competitor.
The fact that he is protecting the Apple system alone is enough to keep him at a distance, not because he hates foreign capital.
But there is no need to cultivate a giant in the field of smartphone hardware, just like the relationship between e-commerce and Hummingbird.
He did this himself, hoping to force e-commerce companies to give up their profits one day in the future. How could he let others walk the same path he had walked before?
What's more, smartphones are just becoming popular, and Hon Hai Industrial has not yet completely dominated the assembly factory industry. It has enough time to participate and support its own foundry system.
Doesn’t Lao Guo have a famous saying: He is the one who gives everyone food to eat?
Then let him not be able to hold a job in this life, just smash it and find a chance to create a competitor to play with him.
With QR codes on mobile phones and such a strong consumer base, what is there to be afraid of?
He made up his mind that if he was going to do it, he would do the biggest one.
He is not qualified to develop the entire rice industry chain yet.
After all, at this time, Lei was so poor that he only had 40 billion cold dollars left.
Coupled with the network of personal connections behind him, he was favored by various investors from the very beginning.
Li Zehua is different. He is now slightly better off than being penniless, but his advanced strategic vision enables him to know how to play the game and find a path that is bound to succeed.
By 2009, smartphones had already laid the foundation for large-scale commercial promotion in China.
The communication base stations of the three major operators basically cover major cities, but the expensive cost of using 3G networks in the early days makes it prohibitive for ordinary people.
At this time in my previous life, there was a well-known joke circulating, which went something like this: I forgot to turn off my data traffic when I went to bed at night, and when I woke up the next day, oh no! My house was gone!
The traffic pricing of the three major operators was widely criticized at the beginning, but everything has two sides.
Without the initial cost-intensive investment by the three major operators, where would the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of communication base stations across the country come from?
The promotion of new technologies does not happen overnight; it requires a long process of exploration.
After all, they are not Li Zehua.
No one can see clearly the future path and how to proceed. With such a huge capital investment, the pressure faced by decision-makers can be imagined.
Therefore, from the beginning, we require that the R&D, construction, and promotion costs be evenly shared. As the number of users increases, the cost will naturally become lower and lower when shared among each person.
But Li Zehua knew that he happened to have a little bit of money, and he was willing to try to push it a little bit on the original basis.
In a word, he is serious about making mobile phones!
The new director Fang Guohui wants to make a name for himself in the financial market, right? Then support him in doing so.
Take as much as you can. Qingyun Investment and Qingyun Real Estate can both use the expected returns to issue corporate bonds.
There is no reason why Qingyun Group cannot do this. In the early stages, it doesn't even need to raise too much capital. It only needs to set up a marketing company and use the existing system to assemble computers.
After all, he had worked in an electronics sales company in his previous life. Even a pure assembly factory could sell millions of so-called smart phones every year.
There's no reason why he can't.
Isn’t it just a sales channel? Pinxixi plans to find out.
Isn’t it just the consumer market?
Have you eaten? Fengniao, Pinxixi, and so many cooperating express delivery company employees, restaurant owners, and college student market, get to know them.
If you bind with any of the three major operators and use the traffic package profit-sharing model, and have the endorsement of the Shanghai government, you may not be unable to get a piece of the pie.
The key is when the operator is willing to accept QingCloud as a partner. The timing is very important.
“So, the revenue from QR codes also needs to take into account the operator’s share.”
After thinking this through, Li Zehua consulted two law firms again to see if the latter had any connections that could be used to make contact.
"Mr. Li, you know that they are different from other companies. They are basically closed and self-contained. It is difficult for us to intervene."
Yang Minghui spread his hands and said, "We can't get domestic business, let alone foreign business. If it is a private enterprise cooperating with operators, we do have a lot of resources."
"Okay, I'll think of a solution from somewhere else."
After finalizing the cooperation plan, the two law firms immediately started working at Qingyun’s headquarters, mobilized their own connections, and began looking for relevant companies and schools to seek cooperation.
Everything is for profit!
Zhang Baige was also actively working on it, and soon sent back a message: "Director Li, I have just communicated with the higher-ups, and I can arrange a private meeting with you in a week at the earliest.
But I don’t have that much time, maybe only 10-15 minutes.”
When the call came, Li Zehua was confirming the relevant itinerary for this month, which was updated daily by the Administrative Department and the Chairman's Office.
It's just that he rarely appeared in public before and didn't attract much attention, but now I've come across some useful information.
“That’s enough. I’m also wondering if there will be a seminar on the economic situation for entrepreneurs in Shanghai at the end of the month. The level of the meeting will be very high.
Brother, please pass on a message for me and see if we can arrange a private meeting during the meeting.
I calculated the time and found that I could only come up with a preliminary plan in a week, and a substantive plan in about half a month.
Don't worry, this is definitely a great thing that will benefit the country and the people."
Zhang Baige smiled and said, "This is not difficult. With your current status, you are more than qualified to be an executive member of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. I will ask for your instructions later, and you should plan your time in advance."
"Thank you very much."
Seeing that Zhang Baige still wanted to ask some specific questions tentatively, he just laughed it off and the latter did not force it.
Anyway, Zhang Baige is quite confident in his small piece of land in Shanghai.
After solving the two core problems, I felt relieved and was planning to ask my office assistant to add a few destinations for my trip to eastern Guangdong.
Lin Wenhui called and asked, "What's going on?
Didn’t you invite us to go sea fishing this afternoon?
Where are the people? "
Li Zehua apologized and explained, "Something happened temporarily. I just finished my work and was about to come over."
"Okay, we'll wait for you at the club."
Lin Wenhui hung up the phone and said to the others around him: "Ask when someone comes. I feel like this guy has something important to hide from us!"
The keenness of venture capital is unquestionable, especially since Wu Yibin has joined the board of directors of Chimei.com, along with several senior executives from Temasek China.
The unusual situation of Gu Shijie blocking the office door and not letting anyone in immediately made them realize that something was wrong.
Especially when the subsequent legal team arrived, it made people even more suspicious.
Wu Yibin even wanted to go back to the company in person to check the situation, but was persuaded by Lin Wenhui.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Our chairman has always been imaginative. Not to mention, he has a unique vision and can always make some things happen."
They had no doubt about Li Zehua's ability.
It is this energy that makes them wonder, how can a person's energy be so strong?
Zhang Lei of Gaoling Capital has returned to Yanjing, but Li You, the joint investment officer, is still there. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "I saw in Yanjing that this guy doesn't play by the rules.
It looks like our two hours of waiting were not in vain, maybe there will be some new programs."
Zhu Xiaolong is the most leisurely one among this group of people. This time, GSR Ventures followed Temasek and invested money but did not show up.
There is not much pressure on funds and performance. He just sits there with a glass of wine, staring happily at the beautiful girls on the yacht not far away.
"Instead of guessing here, you might as well enjoy yourself right away. You guys can't forget about work no matter where you go."
"Boss Zhu is very generous, but we are not as open-minded as you.
Investors are keeping an eye on performance appraisals and investment returns every day. The redemption pressure has been so great in the past two years, so how can we not work hard?
If Mr. Zhu has a good project, don't hide it. Let's make money together."
Li You smiled with a wry smile. To be honest, he was quite envious of him because Temasek was also playing in the domestic market and was not as strict with Jinshajiang.
However, the financial backers behind the company have too high requirements. That is to say, with the help of Hummingbird this time, perhaps the performance in the next two years will improve slightly.
Zhu Xiaolong was quite generous. "That's easy. If Gao Ling has a good project that needs investment, we can also help."
This is how the industry works. Apart from projects that are destined to succeed, we should try to attract as many others as possible, as there is strength in numbers.
A few people were chatting intermittently when the familiar Mercedes-Benz finally stopped at the dock.
After Li Zehua arrived, they exchanged greetings and boarded the yacht together.
After going out to sea, we found a good place to stop. Several real sea anglers couldn't wait to find a fishing spot.
Several people who were obviously in trouble began to move closer, and in the end, Lin Wenhui took the lead by relying on his advantage in numbers.
Li You and a member of Tomorrow Capital looked at each other helplessly. They could only stare enviously at Lin Wenhui as he walked up the stairs to the top deck.
It is so pleasant to chat together while feeling the sea breeze.
"Smartphone? Why are you suddenly talking about this? Didn't we agree that we would focus on takeout delivery and group buying this year?"
Lin Wenhui listened to his words quietly and couldn't help but persuade him:
“There is no end to making money. You are the first to try out these three tracks, and you have the first-mover advantage.
As long as you manage your business well and make fewer mistakes, your future will be more than just a domestic Forbes. "
The Chinese market is so huge that if you take the lead in any industry, you can create wealth that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
What's more, there are three.
“There is no conflict!”
Li Zehua first set the tone for the conversation, "Remember the business ecosystem I've been talking about?
The essence of the things you just mentioned are actually mutually beneficial. If you do one well, the other two will naturally take off.
The mobile phone industry is the foundation for everything to take off!"
"I understand your urgency to succeed, but have you ever thought about the consequences of failure if you rashly cross industries?"
Lin Wenhui had heard him talk about the ecosystem more than once, and had subconsciously chosen to believe in it.
After all, the current success of Hummingbird is there, and no one can deny the competitive advantage in numbers. It has indeed broken their previous inherent impression of the Internet.
But the mobile phone industry is too large after all. According to his habits, there will definitely be a lot of noise. If he fails, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?
Venture capitalists’ money doesn’t come from the wind!
"How could it fail?"
Li Zehua sat up and said with very infectious body language:
“I have repeatedly stressed that the consumer market is ready!
Whether it is the actual needs of internal employees or the bright prospects of the college student market, both have given Qingyun an innate advantage in making mobile phones.
I have done some special research and found that although there is not a serious oversupply of mobile phone licenses in China, anyone with money can get one.
From my point of view, we have to thank the financial crisis for putting traditional mobile phone companies in a desperate situation of severe overcapacity.
I don't even need to spend too much effort. I just need to find the most difficult company, throw out a underwriting contract, and I can get a mobile phone license.
The problem of household access has been solved. So many spare parts manufacturers in the market who are trying to transform themselves are eager for me to bring in orders. "
Li Zehua spoke without thinking. He had so many plans about making mobile phones in his mind that they had formed a complete big network.
“And now, I have got the second absolute trump card. To put it bluntly, I make mobile phones just to make money!
Now all we need is support from domestic and foreign telecommunications operators to fill the last gap. Can Temasek provide help in this regard?
If it works, I dare to sign a compensation agreement, how about that? "
Lin Wenhui looked at him, who was more serious than ever before, and fell into deep thought... (End of this chapter)
