That afternoon, the plane taken by Leo, the general manager of Canadian Light Source Solar Energy Company, and Auston, the chief director, landed at Tianjin Airport, and they came to discuss the royalties with Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
It has been fully authorized by the board of directors and must obtain patent authorization at all costs!
Little did the two of them know that from the moment they boarded the plane, the media reported the incident, which immediately caused a ripple in Canada.
Immediately afterwards, media in the United States and Europe also forwarded the report.
At this time, everyone was convinced that the products of Canadian Light Source Solar Company really infringed on the patents owned by Shengguang Solar Company.
When the two got off the plane and received the notice, their faces immediately turned dark and paralyzed. Have you reporters ever had the heart to love?
Aren't you helping the enemy by doing this?
The two of them got into the car with a sullen face and ignored strangers, and went straight to the hotel they had reserved.
On this day, the relevant departments began to take action. Seventeen rehired experts from relevant departments were contacted for employment contracts, and 24 major officials were contacted for labor contracts with 31 experts and professors.
What these people do is their personal opinions and has nothing to do with the school. Our school supports the saying "Science has no borders, scientists have nationalities".
At the same time, six media outlets were investigated, 11 media outlets were suspended for rectification, and three media outlets had their licenses revoked.
No one expected that the relevant departments would act uncharacteristically this time, and that they would act so quickly and resolutely.
There must be no ambiguity in the face of major issues of right and wrong.
One day passed, and the next day, Leo and Auston from Canadian Light Source Solar Company took a car to Shengguang Solar Energy Company, and the two parties started patent negotiations.
The construction site in Ottawa, Canada continues to be intensively constructed, and the project progress is further accelerated.
There are currently only 17 dealers of Shengguang Solar Energy Company, and all products will be sold at a 50% price reduction, and all inventory will be cleared within three months.
The losses caused by the price reduction are subsidized by Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
Now these seventeen dealers have stabilized and are not worried at all. It is not that simple for the products of Guangyuan Solar Energy Company to be put on the market. They must pay patent fees.
At that time, the price will not only be higher by 15%, but at least 35% higher.
Even if Shengguang Solar Company has no new products, product sales will not be a problem depending on the price difference. Some people are reluctant to pay such a high price to replace solar panels.
A week passed slowly, and Leo and Auston from Canada's Holy Light Solar Company left Jinwei City.
Negotiations broke down and the two sides failed to reach an agreement.
Instead of returning to Canada, the two went to the United States. After arriving in the United States, they went straight to Wall Street to introduce strategic partners from Wall Street to solve the funding problem.
Use the power of Wall Street to solve the patent fee issue with Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
At first, the two planned to use the power of the Canadian government to resolve the matter, but the Chinese ambassador to Canada made it clear.
This is a commercial matter. If Shengguang Solar Energy Co., Ltd. is treated unfairly, we will intervene. The government of any country will protect the legitimate interests of its own companies from being infringed.
This road didn't work, so I immediately thought of the United States. Only by introducing the power of the United States could we compete with the power of the Celestial Empire.
Wall Street is the best choice.
Time passed slowly for half a month, and Guangyuan Solar Energy Company issued a notice to hold a press conference. This time, major media outlets around the world sent personnel there.
Leo, general manager of Guangyuan Solar Energy Company, announced that Guangyuan Solar Energy Company was reorganized and six shareholders were introduced.
Wall Street's Greenleaf Fund, Putus Investment Bank, Ai Niu Fund, National Bank of Canada, Citibank, Bank of Vancouver.
Six companies have invested in Guangyuan Solar Energy Company, which will help Guangyuan Solar Energy Company develop rapidly. The specific investment amount cannot be disclosed at the moment.
Next, the company will go to China to start patent licensing negotiations with Shengguang Solar Company. As long as Shengguang Solar Company’s charges do not violate international standards, we are confident that we can reach an agreement.
The reporters below all smiled knowingly. Obviously, Guangyuan Solar Energy has introduced the power of the United States, and the power of these narrow American countries has come to suppress Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
What does it mean to charge a fee that does not violate international standards? Are there any specific standards for charging this thing?
Obviously, this is to force the Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
There will be a good show, everyone is sure of this.
After the press conference, the news quickly spread around the world, and many bigwigs in China frowned and let out a "hum" in displeasure.
The next day, the news was known to interested people in various countries. At the same time, Shengguang Solar Energy Company issued strict orders to 17 dealers to seize the time to clear the goods.
All inventory must be disposed of without leaving anything behind, and all products must be disposed of within one and a half months.
If it is not dealt with this time, the company will not provide any form of returns or subsidies.
After receiving this notice, dealers began to increase their efforts. Originally, they had not put the price in place at once, but now, they must speed up their efforts.
A week later, Leo and three major shareholders came to Jinwei City, Tianchao City again to start a new round of patent licensing negotiations with Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
Time passed day by day, and the negotiation had been going on for ten days without realizing it. The negotiation did not reach an agreement, and Leo and his party left Jinwei City.
The conditions provided by Shengguang Solar Energy Company are in line with international practice. For a solar panel with xxx specifications, a patent fee of ten US dollars will be charged. You will pay the patent fee as much as you produce.
Canadian Light Source plans to spend three billion U.S. dollars at one time to package the rights to use nine patents for 20 years, but Shengguang Solar Energy Company will definitely not agree.
In the end, the price was increased from US$3 billion to US$9 billion, and Shengguang Solar Company refused without any consideration.
The two sides were at a stalemate and had no choice but to suspend negotiations.
Soon, Canadian Light Source Solar Company began to complain in the international media about Shengguang Solar Company's greed, excessive asking price, violation of international laws and other issues.
Shengguang Solar Company responded by charging a patent fee of ten yuan for each solar panel. This price is not high at all and is at the mid-level of international patent licensing fees.
If the Canadian Light Source Company thinks this is too high, it can ask countries around the world to introduce laws to reduce all patent fees to the standards you need.
As long as all international companies holding patented technologies agree, Shengguang Solar Energy Company will agree.
As soon as this counterattack came out, it immediately received support from many companies, including pharmaceutical companies, semiconductor companies, etc., who unanimously stated that all the patent fees of Shengguang Solar Energy Company were not high at all, but rather low.
Two days later, Shengguang Solar issued another statement.
We do not accept the Canadian Light Source Solar Company’s slander against us. This is an unethical behavior.
Starting from today, the patent licensing fee will be increased from ten US dollars per block to twenty US dollars per block. We must be in line with international prices to meet the requirements of Canadian Light Source Solar Energy Company.
If you don't accept this condition, don't come to negotiate. We won't accept other conditions.
If Canadian Light Source Solar Company produces illegally, we will initiate patent litigation around the world, and we will not hesitate to appeal to the United Nations Patent Office!
Looking at the statement issued by Shengguang Solar Energy Company, all shareholders of Canada Light Source Solar Energy Company felt pain in their stomachs. The price has increased, and you actually asked for a price increase.
But now you can't say that the other party's approach violates international standards. Compared with patent licensing fees in other industries, ten dollars is indeed not high. Now twenty dollars can be considered to be truly in line with international prices.
I regret that I was reluctant to do it all at once. Ten dollars would be ten dollars.
What to do now? If the patent fee is really twenty dollars a piece, it will be a huge sum of money in one year.
We still had to talk, and this matter had to be settled, and fierce quarrels and consultations began internally.
The big bosses in China nodded when they saw Shengguang Solar Company's behavior. Yes, it can withstand pressure and dare to fight for its own interests. Shengguang Solar Company already has the basic strength to enter the international market.
There are so many companies in the country, but there is really no company that dares to ask for patent fees like Shengguang Solar Energy Company. This is worth learning from these companies.
What Shengguang Solar Company has done deserves recognition.
Ten days passed slowly, and Leo took the four major shareholders to charter a flight to Jinwei City, Tianchao, to start a new round of patent licensing negotiations with Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
You can't do it without negotiation. Nine patents are too fatal. Without these patents, the cost of your product will skyrocket and you will lose market competitiveness.
Ten days passed slowly, and on this day, the two sides issued a joint notification.
Canadian Light Source Solar purchased the rights to use nine patents at one time for twenty years at a cost of US$4 billion per patent.
The total cost was US$36 billion, which was paid in one lump sum within a week.
After the news spread, it caused a major earthquake in China and even internationally.
No one expected that Canadian Light Source Solar Energy Company would be so good that it would spend more than 20 billion US dollars to purchase the patent for 20 years, and the patent would expire after 20 years.
After paying this money, it means that Shengguang Solar Energy Company can no longer use patent issues to block Guangyuan Solar Energy Company and has given up its restrictions on competitors.
The big guys in China were stunned, and many people in the world were stunned. Everyone agreed that Shengguang Solar had made a stupid deal.
Soon, an article was published in China criticizing Shengguang Solar Company and Gao Jin for being short-sighted, and the verbal and written attack began.
The international media, large and small, are exaggerating that Canadian Light Source Solar Company has made a very cost-effective deal. This transaction has brought great benefits to Light Source Solar Energy Company.
