Hearing the sarcasm around him, Lin Hongbiao had a very ugly expression.
He turned around and saw a Japanese man next to him. He was handsome, wearing a suit, with a gold ring on his hand and a platinum necklace hanging around his neck. He looked very handsome.
But this man looked at him with disdain, with a sneer on his face, "Mr. Lin Hongbiao?
How dare you compete with us for this technology?"
Lin Hongbiao took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to keep his tone calm, "I don't know who you are, and I don't ask to compete with your company."
"Oh, that's it," the Japanese man snorted, and then his eyes became gloomy, "In this case, please leave Mr. Lin Hongbiao!"
"I am Ichiro Miyamoto, director of the R&D Department of Matsushita Electric Company, and I am interested in this patented technology!"
It's none of my business that you're interested in it. Besides, don't you Matsushita have a patent for new VCD technology? Why did you steal it? Lin Hongbiao couldn't help but cursed,
But soon, Lin Hongbiao realized that Songshang Company did have a patented technology for a new type of VCD, but it had not yet been officially developed, and this patented technology was not very comprehensive.
If the other party can obtain the R&D technology of this company, it may be able to develop new VCD patented technology faster, allowing their VCDs to sell better.
These thoughts quickly flashed through Lin Hongbiao's mind.
But at this moment, Thomas, who had been sitting next to him, stood up.
"Mr. Miyamoto, I don't know how you knew that we wanted to buy this patent?"
Thomas asked, "Besides, I am the boss of Duoai Investment Company.
Even if you want to compete, you should tell me."
Only then did Lin Hongbiao realize that although Thomas was just a white glove he found, to the outside world, Thomas was still the boss of Duoai Investment Company.
Why did Miyamoto not show off his power to Thomas at first, but instead showed his power to himself, a Chinese?
Ichiro Miyamoto raised his eyebrows: "Do you think your disguise is real?
Who in the outside world doesn’t know how much you love investment companies that are frantically searching for new VCD patented technologies.”
"As for this Thomas, a month ago he was just a homeless man who couldn't find a job.
Who would believe that he suddenly became the boss of this so-called Duoai Investment Company?"
"And you, Mr. Lin Hongbiao, we only need a little investigation to find out your true identity, a humble Chinese!"
"You..." Lin Hongbiao was already furious, because the contempt in Miyamoto's words was not concealed at all.
However, he also flashed a bit of panic. He did not expect that his identity would be exposed. It meant that he overestimated himself and underestimated these Japanese people.
If he found Thomas himself, this white glove would be easily seen through by these people.
And he also knew that there was no point in explaining anything at this time.
Lin Hongbiao tried hard to control his anger. He was unwilling to admit that he was frightened by these Japanese people. He calmed down and said: "Mr. Miyamoto, I think you have misunderstood.
Our Chinese country has always paid attention to etiquette. Even though I am a Chinese, we Chinese people treat guests with great enthusiasm and respect. Like what you just said, it simply insults the culture and quality of the Japanese people."
"Heh, so what if I just said that?
A bunch of despicable people.”
Miyamoto was even more contemptuous, "The half of the patent you bought at a high price is enough to fill your stomach. You should think about how you can get this half of the patented technology."
Hearing this, Lin Hongbiao's face turned pale, "The last patent sale was indeed your fault. What's your conspiracy?"
This was something Lin Hongbiao couldn't accept. He concealed his identity everywhere because he was worried that these cunning Japanese people were behind the scenes.
But he didn't expect that even if he was careful, something would eventually go wrong.
And what he was most worried about appeared. There was obviously something wrong with the half of the patent he bought at a high price!
Miyamoto smiled proudly.
"I've asked someone to investigate your company's account. The money in the account should be almost used.
We have even investigated your parent company, Duoai Company, and it is completely impossible to spend any more money to purchase patents."
Then, an executive from another Japanese VCD next to him also took over the words and said proudly.
"More than that.
What you are holding is half of the patent, which is only part of the technology. We have divided this technology into only half of the patent.
You have no way to develop new VCDs. If you want to use these new technologies, just pay us high patent fees!"
"A mere Chinese wants to come to our country to get a patent. Are you being a little too naive?"
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of all the Japanese people around were very proud, as if they had already secured victory.
"You...you deceived me?"
Lin Hongbiao's face was full of surprise and anger, but at the same time, he also felt deep fear. After all, if this was really the case, his plan could be said to have completely failed.
"Yes, this is not the first time we have done this kind of thing."
Miyamoto said matter-of-factly.
Lin Hongbiao was speechless. He was unwilling to give up and asked Thomas to call the company to verify the patent.
After getting half of the patent, he thought he had a guaranteed victory, and did not drink tea carefully. After all, it was something in the contract, and he didn't know that the other party could actually exploit such a loophole.
Soon, a piece of news appeared that made Lin Hongbiao's face darken. According to Thomas' verification, the patent obtained by their company was found.
It is indeed true, but it has been separated from the other half.
In other words, with these half of the patents, they can't develop normal new patented technologies at all, or in other words.
It was developed without knowing the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
And this is the conspiracy of these Japanese people.
They want to spend their own money.
I had known that an entire patent would be auctioned later, so I deliberately kicked myself out of the game in advance.
Amidst the ridicule of a bunch of Japanese people, the auction finally began.
This is a new type of VCD patented technology that was auctioned. It is a technology held by a well-known VCD company. However, this company now has problems with its operations and funds, and has to sell this related technology for money.
This technology has also been confirmed by authoritative organizations, and it can indeed develop new VCDs, and it is very advanced.
Therefore, there were quite a few heads of R&D departments from major VCD companies who came to the scene this time, but of course, not too many.
After all, there are only so many companies that are optimistic about this industry and this new technology, and are willing to spend so much money.
Therefore, there are only twenty or thirty companies that can sign up to come here, and only a few of them have brought enough money to be confident in the auction.
Soon, the auction started,
The host also started to enter the auction state. While introducing this new type of VCD, he hinted that this technology can bring huge profits, hoping to sell this patent at a suitable price.
After the host announced the official start of the auction, Miyamoto immediately held up a sign and shouted.
"20000000!"
And the price apparently didn't deter others.
After all, they participated in the bidding this time on a tentative basis.
Soon the price went higher and higher, soaring all the way.
"21 million."
"22 million."
…
Finally, it stopped at a price of 30 million.
At this time, even Lin Hongbiao was dumbfounded. Are these people crazy? They actually paid so much money to snatch patents.
Finally, the price stopped when it reached 34 million, and the person calling the price was none other than Miyamoto.
After bidding, he looked back at Lin Hongbiao triumphantly, and the ridicule in his eyes did not require much explanation.
The other party's intention is very clear. They know that you have no funds and are provoking you.
Lin Hongbiao gritted his teeth and looked at Miyamoto and others, but he did not shout out the price.
Although this new VCD technology is of high value and they are in urgent need of it, they simply don’t have that much money!
Lin Hongbiao collapsed on the chair in despair, everything was over, everything was over.
Not only did he not get the new patented technology, but as the Japanese were wary of it, he might not be able to get it in the future.
