Chapter 56 Patent Licensing
Li Sufu picked up the tea and took a sip and then continued: "There are many types of bulletproof tires in the world now, such as fuel liquid tires, poured solid tires, inner support tires, sinking limiter tires, etc.
But if it’s a general one, that’s fine. However, the patents for high-performance bulletproof tires are basically in the hands of foreign manufacturers. It is difficult for our Jili Group to obtain them. Even the foreign famous brand car I purchased does not have such technology.
But I got what I wanted from your aerodynamic bicycle, which is your mechanical structure wheels and tires, so my first purpose of coming here is to get your mechanical structure wheels and tires. 's patent.
Secondly, I’m here for your special glass. Finally, I hope that your factory can manufacture some precision parts for our Jili Group’s new car. After all, the air motor in your aerodynamic bicycle is really amazing.” After finishing speaking, Li Sufu said no more, but looked at Zhang Yi quietly, waiting for his answer.
"New super bulletproof vehicle? What level of protection?" Zhang Yi couldn't believe it after hearing this.
But this is coming from Li Sufu’s mouth, and Zhang Yi can’t help but believe it. If Zhang Yi is the first to not believe it when told by someone else, after all, it starts with the word “super”, then the protection level of Jili’s bulletproof car must be Not low, even Zhang Yi can be sure that the protection level will not be worse than that of world-renowned bulletproof vehicles, otherwise Li Sufu will definitely not come in person.
However, Zhang Yi did not immediately answer Li Sufu's words, but began to quietly consider whether to license the patent to Geely Group. Of course, it was impossible to directly sell the patent to Geely, even if Li Sufu personally took action.
The mechanical structure of wheels and tires seems simple, but in fact there are many things involved. In fact, this wheel and tire are not irreproducible, except for the soft metal memory material used in mechanical tires.
Zhang Yi believes that there are still many other large machinery factories that can produce them. Even the materials can be replaced with other similar materials, such as rubber, etc., but the performance will be greatly reduced, but Zhang Yi is still not ready to sell it. patent.
What's more, Zhang Yi now needs to use the aerodynamic bicycles he produces. Once sold, the patent will no longer be his. So what will happen to aerodynamic bicycles in the future? They have to use this tire.
Therefore, Zhang Yi will definitely not sell patents. Not only will he not sell patents now, even if Zhang Yi develops something in the future, he will not sell it. At most, he can only license it.
As for the special glass, Zhang Yi never thought about licensing or selling the patent. What's more, after Zhang Yi produced this glass, he never went to the patent office to apply for a patent for this glass.
Because he is confident that others will not be able to study or copy this kind of optical glass in a short period of time. As for the last thing about producing some precision parts for engines for the Geely Group, Zhang Yi certainly welcomes it.
"Yes! But for the mechanical structure wheel and tire technology, I can only license patents. For other matters such as special glass, our Colorful Stone Machinery only sells finished products. If you Jili needs it, you can customize it from us. This one We have no plans to sell, transfer or license our glass technology yet." Zhang Yi replied after thinking for a moment.
After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Li Sufu did not speak immediately because it was a bit inconsistent with his purpose. In his mind, what he wanted for the mechanical structure wheel hub and tire technology was not authorization, but acquisition.
As for glass technology, he also wanted to acquire it, but hearing Zhang Yi's determined tone, it was obvious that his plan had failed, if he wanted to acquire it by force.
Although it is possible for him to obtain one or two of these technologies, doing so will definitely push Zhang Yi and his Colorful Stone Machinery Factory to the opposite side of their Jili Group, which will not be of any benefit to their Jili Group.
What's more, when he visited Qicai Stone Machinery Factory before, he found that although most of the workers and technicians in Qicai Stone Machinery Factory were not very good, and could even be said to be novices, he also found a large number of senior technicians in this factory.
turner.
According to his judgment, the level of these lathes is at least level eight, maybe even level nine. With the existence of these lathes, the future of their Colorful Stone Machinery Factory is definitely very bright.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Sufu gave up the idea of buying mechanically structured wheel tires, and turned to the next best thing, obtaining patent authorization.
Zhang Yi and Li Sufu then negotiated the patent licensing price for mechanical wheel hubs and tires. However, even such negotiations were still very difficult. According to Li Sufu, the patent licensing time must be more than ten years, and the licensing price is only
10 million per year.
It is impossible for Zhang Yi to agree to this price and the number of years of authorization. According to Zhang Yi, the number of years of authorization must be two or three years, and the price of authorization must be at least 50 million per year.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Zhang Yicai and Li Sufu negotiated the price and signed the contract. This time, the price Zhang Yi authorized to Jili Group was 30 million per year, and the authorization period was tentatively set for three years. If under the same conditions,
They, Jili Group, have priority.
However, for the soft metal memory alloy, Zhang Yi did not authorize it to the Geely Group, but started selling the finished products to their Geely Group starting next year.
As for glass, Geely Group also signed a contract with Zhang Yi worth nearly RMB 10 million. After all, Zhang Yi's special glass is not cheap. The average price of the glass used in each car is as high as more than RMB 500,000.
Finally, there is the production of precision parts. This order is more than 10 million, which means that Zhang Yi made more than 100 million from Geely this time. This can be said to be the largest business of Zhang Yi’s Colorful Stone Machinery Factory so far.
An order made Zhang Yi very happy. However, except for the 90 million from the patent authorization, the rest of the money had to wait until the order was completed before he could get the money.
Originally, Li Sufu was going to invite the media for a signing ceremony, but Zhang Yi refused because the Qicai Stone Machinery Factory was still quite weak at this time, so Zhang Yi didn't want to attract too much attention.
After the contract was signed, Zhang Yi invited Li Sufu to have dinner at the Xianxian Hotel, and Li Sufu went back.
When Zhang Yi returned to the machinery factory, because after the contract was signed, Li Sufu gave Zhang Yi's machinery factory a patent license of 90 million. Although this money was already a huge sum of money for Zhang Yi, it was not enough for Li Sufu.
For the Geely Group, this is nothing, not even a drop in the bucket.
After returning to the machine factory, Zhang Yi told everyone not to disturb him in the afternoon. When he entered the office, he immediately entered the top-student employment system in his mind, preparing to hire more top-students to work for him.
You must know that if you want to upgrade the system to a higher level, you must hire a hundred academic masters, and he has only hired less than twenty people now, so he must hire more academic masters to upgrade the system as soon as possible.
Although it was said that he had a top-notch employment system before, he did not dare to take too many actions. After all, many industries in society are now controlled by oligarchs. If he entered rashly, he would only suffer a bloody blow, but
If he recruits a top student in more than a hundred systems, then his factory will have the most fundamental foundation, so he no longer has to think twice.
Even if the factory is gone, with the existence of more than a hundred academic masters with technical abilities comparable to ninth-level technicians, he can rise again in a short time. It can be said that as long as there are enough systematic academic masters, then he can
Don't be afraid of any difficulties.
After entering the academic employment system, Zhang Yi first hired academics from the mechanical department. After all, this was the basis for the survival of their machinery factory. Without these academics, it would be impossible for Zhang Yi and his factory to develop production.
things.
Xian County is not a big city, so there is no need to worry about workers. There are many people looking for jobs, and even high-end mechanical talents may not be able to be recruited.
But in a small town like Xian County, it is very difficult to recruit a skilled lathe worker, let alone others.
He must hire top academics from the Department of Mechanical Engineering on a large scale. At the same time, Zhang Yi also knows very well that top academics like these at the lowest level will be indispensable even if the level of the system increases in the future.
This time Zhang Yi did not select in the system, but directly prepared to hire Red Alert engineers on a large scale. Although the Red Alert trainee engineers are not the most talented among the mechanical masters in the system, if a large number of employees are hired,
If there are academic masters from other races, then even if the differences between these races and humans are very small, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of interested people.
Red Alert engineers are pure human beings, so this risk is much smaller.
