Wang Zhenhai spoke first and said: "I heard that Mr. Ye likes to collect all kinds of luxury cars. I have an Audi supercar here. This is a limited edition supercar. It is only available to a few partners in the world. I hope Mr. Ye likes it!"
After speaking, the person next to him took out a bunch of keys and placed them on the conference table.
Ye Yu smiled faintly: "Mr. Wang is really thoughtful, but there is no need to rush this matter. If the cooperation is successful, I will not be polite. If the cooperation is not successful, I will not ask for your gift. Let's discuss it in detail.
.”
"Mr. Ye is indeed a sweetheart." Wang Zhenhai smiled. His limited-edition supercar was worth nearly ten million, and he would be heartbroken if it was given away without negotiation.
However, after hearing Ye Yu's words, he felt relieved. If this negotiation succeeds, a supercar will definitely be worth the money.
Just when they were about to talk, there was a knock on the door outside the conference room, and a receptionist from the day before yesterday came in: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhou from Nanxin and Beitong Group, and Mr. He are here."
Ye Yu: "Let them wait outside for a while. I am discussing business with Mr. Wang and others. Don't let anyone disturb us while we are discussing business."
"Yes, Mr. Ye!"
The receptionist hurriedly walked out. She was hesitant to come in at first, but remembering that the CEOs of Nanxin and Beitong were coming in person, she did not dare to delay. After all, these two were two of the three major domestic operators.
, if you were in any company, you would have to be received respectfully.
But she heard dissatisfaction from Ye Yu's words just now. It was obvious that she shouldn't knock on the door and disturb her. What kind of company are we, with so many top groups begging to cooperate?
After the receptionist walked out, she came to the reception area. She said to Zhou Haigui and He Jinrong: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. He, our Mr. Ye is discussing business with Mr. Wang, Mr. Xie, and Mr. Liu. Please wait in the reception area for a moment."
Wait a moment."
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Haigui and He Jinrong nodded in agreement.
…
In the conference room, Ye Yu talked with the heads of the three major automobile manufacturing groups.
"Mr. Ye and our three companies want to buy out your car's intelligent driverless technology. We can discuss how much it will cost," Wang Zhenhai said.
Ye Yu: "Our company only licenses intelligent driverless technology to external parties and does not accept buyouts!"
The meaning of the buyout is very simple. Ye Yu's technology can only be sold to three of their automobile groups and cannot be sold to any other automobile groups. However, they can choose to cooperate with other automobile companies. They are equivalent to indirectly monopolizing the intelligence of automobiles.
Driverless technology.
Generally, the buyout price is very high, but Ye Yu does not agree to buyout, even if the price is very high.
"Mr. Ye and our three families plan to invest 50 billion to buy out, what do you think?" Wang Zhenhai directly quoted the buyout price. He hoped to use this price to impress Ye Yu.
Li Xue, Xia Qing, Ding Wenjing and others were shocked when they heard this price. Fifty billion? This is simply a sky-high price.
Including the original 9 billion, if the negotiations with Nanxin and Beitong Group are completed, it will be about 90 billion, which can rank among the top ten richest people in the country.
Currently ranked first and second in the country are the chairman of Tenglong Group and the chairman of Tmall Online Taobao, with a net worth of nearly 300 billion. These are the two dominant Internet empires in China, and almost no one can challenge them.
Ye Yu shook his head slightly: "The price is indeed good, but forget it if you buy it out."
Wang Zhenhai's eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard this. If they can be bought out, the three car companies will definitely grow into giants among the world's car companies in the future.
Xie Lebo, the boss of Jianghai Automobile Group, said, "Mr. Ye, let's talk about the licensing fees."
Ye Yu waved his hand, and Ding Wenjing took out some documents and handed them to the three bosses: "This is the authorized contract content agreement."
Wang Zhenhai and the others looked at the artificial intelligence unmanned driving technology authorization agreement.
Authorize to other companies, otherwise it will be a breach of contract, and there are more than ten clauses.
After reading these agreements, Wang Zhenhai raised his head and said, "Is Mr. Ye's licensing fee of five billion a year a bit too high?"
Xie Lebo also said: "Yes, Mr. Ye, and the application of authorized technology is too restrictive. It can only be used on domestically produced self-branded cars? Can't it be used on our joint venture cars?"
At present, the domestic market is still the largest market for joint venture cars. For example, China FAW Group has cooperative relationships with Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota, etc.
FAW-Volkswagen, FAW Audi, FAW Toyota, etc., these are all joint venture cars. As the name implies, joint venture cars are companies jointly funded by domestic and foreign automobile manufacturing companies. Foreign brands, technology, funds, and domestic automobile factories produce factories, funds, etc.
, but the core technology is still mastered by foreign automobile manufacturing companies.
Countries have relevant policies and systems in the automobile industry. Foreign automobile manufacturing groups cannot open independent factories in China to build cars. If they want to sell their own cars in China, they can only find joint ventures with automobile factories in China, and they have previously held shares in joint venture car companies.
On the other hand, the state also has policies that prohibit foreign-funded groups from exceeding a certain amount of shares. All these policies are to protect the development of domestic independent brand cars.
There are also high-price tariffs on cars. In fact, the prices of some foreign cars such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi are not high abroad, but they are very high in China.
In fact, the main reason is to prevent foreign cars from having a severe impact on the domestic automobile market. If BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi are priced very low and have good performance, to be honest, the number of people buying these cars will increase greatly. On the contrary, domestic cars will have no room for growth.
Eventually they will go bankrupt one by one, because there is still a big gap between domestic and foreign countries in automobile manufacturing technology.
If domestically produced cars of independent brands cannot be built, the potential harm will be great. All car-making technologies are in the hands of foreign groups. If they don't want to sell you by then, no company in the country will be able to build independent cars. I'm afraid China will
There will be a return to the bicycle era.
Because domestically produced self-owned brand cars have been impacted and bankrupted by foreign groups, if there were no relevant national policy restrictions, this situation would really occur, and everything would be unavoidable.
Liu Jianfeng of Yandu Automobile Group also said: "Mr. Ye, can the technical licensing restrictions be loosened a little more?"
Ye Yu sat there and looked at them, his eyes bright and deep, and he was also thinking.
If these three automobile groups do not have technical authorization, they will not be able to negotiate with those foreign car companies. If they cannot negotiate, they will not be able to obtain the latest high-end automobile manufacturing technology. This will not be of any help to domestic independent brand cars. Ye Yu’s heart
It is also hoped that they can obtain foreign high-end automobile manufacturing technology to improve the performance of domestic independent brand automobiles.
