Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

...

Chapter 196 Keep a low profile, but can you really keep a low profile?

When it comes to assessing the value of a patent, nobody wants it to be undervalued! So, even so, we still have to chase after you and push you to sell it at a low price.

The transaction volume has already reached 1.6 to 1.7 billion, which shows that the product brings huge profits.

Cost? It's just a fraction of the price.

The cost of raw materials and labor was incredibly low. Xing Baohua didn't want to give up such a huge profit.

So it's better to just refuse. The only things you can sell here are stereos and cordless phones.

Motorola didn't dare sell two-way pagers, as they contained many of Xing Baohua's patents. They were already cutting-edge products; if Motorola wanted to sell the patents or license them to other companies, they would first have to negotiate with Xing Baohua, and secondly, Xing Baohua would have to receive a share of the profits.

Although the two companies haven't negotiated yet, Xing Baohua estimates it will be soon, especially considering how many US dollars he sold. It's no wonder the motorcycle industry is envious.

Dutch peas were rebuffed, saying that after the transaction was completed, they would inspect Xing Baohua's factory, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate.

It sounded like polite words, but Xing Baohua didn't take it that way; he was determined to get something from him to take back. These Europeans were ruthless.

Xing Baohua called over the factory manager of AB to discuss the matter and expedite the purchase of equipment.

The two factory managers said they didn't have any foreign exchange quotas, which infuriated Xing Baohua! He said, "I have orders worth over a billion yuan and I don't even have a quota? Hurry up and take advantage of the trade fair. There are many foreign companies there. Like nouveau riche, wave your greenbacks and buy equipment."

The factory managers of factories A and B were in a bit of a dilemma, suggesting that Xing Baohua finalize all the contracts before discussing anything else, since nothing was going to happen yet.

The implication is that once the money is in their pocket, the letter of intent is meaningless; it could fall through at any time.

Xing Baohua immediately said, "It will be too late once it's finalized. We need to go find people, negotiate, and even place orders now."

Xing Baohua, who seemed to have changed her demeanor, spoke without any politeness.

Left with no other option, the two factory managers had to look for equipment according to the list provided by Xing Baohua. In fact, Xing Baohua still wanted to use Alcatel's products, but the factory's production capacity was unusually slow!

Fortunately, there were only two units of equipment left in stock for Xing Baohua. If we place an order now, we estimate we won't receive them until next year.

Doesn't this cause delays?

Xing Baohua didn't believe that with so many equipment suppliers worldwide, they couldn't find the goods in stock.

Then the merchant came to check it out and placed an order.

I bought cordless phones and two models of mobile phones. Not many, just over a thousand of each.

But what the seller was interested in were two-way pagers and all-in-one devices. They were attractive and had all the necessary functions.

After reviewing the data in detail, I gave Xing Baohua a thumbs up, saying that the product truly considers the customer's needs.

The philosophy is very clear: everything is for God's service. Get things done with minimal spending.

Who wouldn't like a product like this?

Unfortunately, Xing Baohua refused to sell, which made the Japanese very anxious. They couldn't get help from anyone, since the patent law was right there.

Xing Baohua told the Japanese that as long as the motorcycle company agreed to sell in the Asia-Pacific region, he would have no problem selling the goods to Japan.

There's a catch in his words; the Asia-Pacific region is too big. Motorcycle would be a fool to agree.

It was obvious that they didn't want to sell to the Japanese, and no one could find fault with it.

A representative from NEC came over, wanting to collaborate with Xing Baohua on a mobile phone project and jointly develop it.

They indicated they could provide equipment and funding.

In the past, Xing Baohua might have liked it, but now, I don't care about you! With billions of yuan in hand, why would I need your little bit of money?

Only the equipment could attract Xing Baohua; the Japanese equipment was indeed very useful.

The only downside is that it's expensive, especially in the later stages.

NEC is also a large company with advanced equipment and chip technology. It can manufacture computers and has even ventured into satellite systems.

There are indeed many benefits to cooperating with such a large company, but Xing Baohua only wanted equipment, so he said indirectly that he wanted chip manufacturing equipment.

Would the Japanese dare to give it to us? We can't even dream of it; we can only sell finished chips to Xing Baohua.

Xing Baohua nodded, thinking to himself, "That will work too."

Xing Baohua could accept it if the Japanese could provide him with chips two generations lower in quality.

If they were required to sell products that were 3-5 generations lower than their current ones, Xing Baohua could only tell them to go away.

The other party still wanted to take advantage of Xing Baohua, but Xing Baohua said without hesitation, "It doesn't matter. Alcatel and Siemens, and some companies in the United States are willing to sell to him, including the fully automatic welding robot he is currently using, which was provided by Alcatel."

"If you're unwilling, you're rejecting the US dollar. Why should so many companies choose you?"

The combination of strategy and nonsense left the Japanese soldiers bewildered, unable to discern how much truth was contained within.

With Alcatel as a precedent, these things will be easier to buy. For now, we can only buy them and use them temporarily. Once orders stabilize, we can disassemble one set and reverse engineer it.

Our factory has a variety of talented people, and they have plenty of room to make a difference.

It would be so much better to develop it ourselves and use it ourselves!

Time waits for no one, so I had to make do with what I had.

Regarding Xing Baohua's purchase of equipment, the Japanese need to report to headquarters before giving Xing Baohua a reply. They also hope to arrange a time to conduct a business visit to Xing Baohua's electronics factory.

So what if you want to conduct an inspection? We're not afraid of your inspection!

The Japanese devils had just left when the Americans arrived. These people from the beautiful country seem to have some presence.

Just looking at these waves of people is exhausting enough. Not to mention they have to speak so carefully.

When people from the Great Beauty Kingdom arrived, Xing Baohua began to feign a welcoming smile.

Those who can come to China to participate in the Canton Fair are all large companies with money, but they are just not generous with their payments.

Dealing with them also requires constant vigilance against potential pitfalls.
