Bao Junyi arrives in 1972.
Bao Junyi transmig...
He smiled and said, "Both of you, please stop arguing. I understand your intentions."
"As for Mr. Tomler, I invited him here tonight. After all, he helped us before at the Audi factory in Germany, so I'm considering working with him again."
"Mr. Iwasaki Yasusuke, we can't possibly agree to what you just proposed. How about you listen to our request later?"
Iwasaki Yasuke's face turned pale and black, and after a while he said, "Okay, I'll follow Bao-san's arrangements."
"Very good, then I will tell you two."
"If you two want Miracle Group's four-wheel drive technology, hybrid technology, and patent licensing, we will only consider exchanging them, not selling them."
Iwasaki Yasuke said helplessly: "Mr. Bao, you also know that we at Mitsubishi don't have many patented technologies in the automotive sector."
"Mr. Iwasaki Yasasu, I have considered what you said. You can exchange Mitsubishi Shipbuilding's technology and patents for a license."
"Impossible. Shipbuilding is one of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' most valuable and core sectors. It's impossible to swap them."
Bao Junyi smiled and said, "Mr. Iwasaki Yasasu, don't worry. We are in the field of exchange and patent licensing. We don't need your Mitsubishi's most advanced ones, the obsolete previous generation will also do."
"Really? Then which part of Mitsubishi Shipbuilding are you interested in?"
“Yes, I am interested in the technology to eliminate large tankers and container ships.”
Iwasaki Yasasuke said gloomily, "Large tankers are the core of Mitsubishi's shipbuilding industry. This is impossible. As for container ships, Mitsubishi has also made initial attempts to build and produce them in recent years. They are all 10,000-30,000 tons. This can be said to be..."
Bao Junyi interrupted, "I only want the technology and patent license for Mitsubishi Shipbuilding's 30,000-ton large oil tankers and 10,000-ton container ships."
In the 1970s, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding's technology had reached a level of over 200,000 tons for large oil tankers, and more than a dozen very large crude carriers (VLCCs) had been produced. Container ships were also a preliminary attempt, and could only produce 30,000 to 40,000 tons.
As the shipping industry develops, container cargo increases, so Mitsubishi also began to try to build in this direction.
Iwasaki Yasuke listened to Bao Junyi's request with a mood fluctuating. Finally, when he heard that it only required the licensing of technologies and patents that had been eliminated for a long time, his expression brightened.
Bao Junyi discussed with Iwasaki Yasusuke for more than ten minutes before deciding to sign the contract.
In the end, Tomler was the only one left at the scene. He stood by and waited silently for Bao Junyi to bargain with Iwasaki Yasusuke.
"Mr. Tomler, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Tomler said with a smile: "It's okay. Mr. Bao must have good news when he comes to see me this time. It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."
"Haha, this time I'm looking for President Tomler. You heard me talking to the Iwasaki family of Sakura Country just now."
"I know this will involve antitrust laws in Europe and the United States, so I'm considering exchanging more basic patents with Mercedes-Benz. I wonder if Mr. Tomler would be willing to do that?"
Tomler was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since Mr. Bao has said so, then of course I am very willing to do so."
"However, there is a prerequisite. I hope President Tomler will spread this news secretly."
"this......"
Bao Junyi smiled and said, "President Tomler, next time if there's something good like this, Mercedes-Benz will be given priority."
"Mr. Bao, that's not what I meant, but since Mr. Bao has said so, leave it to me."
The two continued chatting for half an hour, slowly filling in the details of the exchange and the basic patent barriers that Miracle Group currently lacked.
The next day.
More than a dozen giant car companies, including Volkswagen, BMW, Bentley, and Ford, sent their leaders to secretly meet with Bao Junyi to discuss the exchange of patent technologies.
Over the course of several days at the Paris Motor Show, we exchanged most of the basic patents for automobile production and some sports car technology patents.
At present, most of the cars produced by Miracle Auto no longer pay patent fees, and only a very small number will gradually be completely included in the Miracle Auto patent library in the future.
Today is the second day of the Paris International Motor Show, and a large number of people flocked to the exhibition.
Yesterday, the Miracle Car Audi series, Tank 300, Blue Dragon Seven Stars-Bai Ze (imitating the appearance of the later Rolls-Royce Phantom, with an ancient Chinese style interior, and the material can only use titanium alloy frame due to the impossibility of special aluminum), and old models sold a total of 356 million US dollars.
It directly surpassed Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Bentley and other giant car companies by more than 160 million US dollars, and left the second place behind by 100 million US dollars.
Among them, except for the US$286.7 million order from Prince Shatsur, all the others were orders placed by distributors and wealthy people.
Iwasaki Yasuke came over from the next booth and said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, the number one salesperson at the auto show today might be you again."
Iwasaki Yasuke looked enviously at the crowd around the Miracle Group booth, as well as some channel dealers who received the news yesterday and arrived today.
"President Iwasaki Yasuke, the Mitsubishi booth is not bad either. Your main focus is on fuel efficiency, and in the current environment, it is very popular with customers."
"How can we compare with you? For every car you sell, we at Mitsubishi need to sell hundreds. There's no comparison at all."
Bao Junyi said modestly, "No, Mitsubishi's approach is economical and practical, cheap and fuel-efficient. Its future market share will be no less than that of Miracle Auto."
In later generations, cars from the Sakura Country were mainly economical and affordable, cheap and fuel-efficient, and they almost broke into the US market. It was only then that the US government introduced policies and raised tariffs to protect the market share of domestic car companies.
Iwasaki Yasuke was surprised that he knew the core positioning of Mitsubishi Motors, a direction that was only determined two months ago.
Curious, "Mr. Bao, how do you know the positioning of our Mitsubishi Motors?"
"Haha, your prices are so low, you're using minimal materials, and you're focusing on fuel efficiency, so it's not hard to guess."
"What's more, our Miracle Group Research Center has a professional team that will conduct separate research based on the current market conditions. So, it's not surprising that they know about this."
Iwasaki Yasuke was very surprised that Miracle Group had set up an automotive research department targeting major international automakers and invested a large amount of funds in purchasing split analysis.
Iwasaki Yasuke was silent for a long time before he said, "Bao-san, you... are too far-sighted."
Bao Junyi......
"Mr. Iwasaki Yasuke, you have obtained the patented technology license. With Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' current technological foundation, it won't take a few months to imitate it. As for mass production, it won't take more than half a year to launch your new car."
"No, we at Mitsubishi Motors started late and don't have such a strong foundation like the European and American auto giants."
Bao Junyi was chatting with Iwasaki Yasusuke, and people from the exhibition were coming in one after another.
Due to the news that broke yesterday, most of the people were moving towards the Miracle Auto booth.
Iwasaki Yasuke watched with envy, wishing all those people were heading to the Mitsubishi booth. "Thank you all for your continued company and support, the author would like to thank you all!"
