Just like everyone knows that as long as there is enough thrust, a rocket can be sent into space.
The principle behind it is simple, but how to implement it is the most difficult step between 0 and 1.
so……
When Lin Huowang could accurately say that this function was achieved using such a principle, Oda Jiro had already believed it for the most part.
Not to mention, Lin Huowang also described the improved efficiency after achieving such temperature control, which made Oda Jiro so greedy that he was about to drool.
"Lin Huowang, are you telling the truth?
This... this increases the cooking efficiency by 40% and also ensures a soft and glutinous texture.
This means that as long as we can produce such a rice cooker, all the rice cookers on the market, whether Panasonic or Mitsubishi, will be thrown into the trash.
Since there is an electric rice cooker that can cook rice in fifteen minutes, Japanese housewives will definitely not spend money to buy an electric rice cooker that takes half an hour to cook rice.
Yes! Even if it’s free, I won’t take it… Time is money, and Japanese housewives also pay attention to efficiency.
This means that even if they forget to cook rice in the future, they can make up for it in just ten minutes..."
The more he thought about it, the more excited Jiro Oda became.
Such a rice cooker is definitely a patent solution that any company's home appliance department dreams of.
As long as such a rice cooker is made, there is no need to invest too much advertising and marketing expenses, and Japanese housewives will rush to buy it.
Moreover, not only in Japan, but also in Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe, and other countries, more and more people are now eating rice as their staple food.
Last year, Hitachi Group had already opened up the rice cooker market in the United States, and its annual export volume is not small.
In recent years, the reputation of Japanese home appliances has become famous all over the world.
"What do you think? Mr. Oda, do you really not need a rice cooker that can cook rice quickly like this at Hitachi?
Alas! As you can see, I came up with this rice cooker solution by chance.
However, the current situation in our country does not require such an electric rice cooker at all.
Ordinary people cook rice using wood stoves. No one would waste precious money to buy an appliance that can only be used to cook rice.
Even many city dwellers cannot afford to use it even if they can afford it.
The electricity bill in our country is now quite high for ordinary people.
When I went to the provincial capital, I met many cadres' families who had electric rice cookers imported from Japan, but they still relied on wood stoves to cook.
Only on very rare days will I use a rice cooker to cook a meal.”
Lin Huowang said this while observing Oda Jiro's expression.
Seeing his rapid breathing and slightly flushed face, I knew he was really moved.
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Lin Huowang, even those companies in Japan haven't come up with such an advanced rice cooker solution.
You are really a genius. In fact, your rice cooker design is more valuable than the previous pressure cooker design.
A family can live without a pressure cooker, but it absolutely cannot be without an electric rice cooker for convenient and quick cooking.
I can guarantee that once our rice cooker is mass-produced, every Japanese family will have one.”
As Oda Jiro spoke, he seemed to have made up his mind. He took out another check from his clothes, stacked the two checks together, and handed them to Lin Huowang, saying, "Mr. Lin Huowang, here is a check for two hundred thousand dollars. I want to buy the rice cooker solution you have. I wonder if you are willing to give it up?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars, you want to buy such an advanced rice cooker solution? Mr. Oda, do you think that since I can invent these solutions, I don't know their true economic value?"
Lin Huowang snorted coldly, but did not give Oda Jiro a good look.
He even showed a hint of anger at being despised and underestimated, and Oda Jiro immediately bowed and apologized, expressing his sincerity:
“Lin Huowang, the two hundred thousand dollars I gave you is not the full amount.
Instead, we want to pay an advance payment for purchasing your rice cooker patent, as long as your solution, as you said, can achieve more than 40% efficiency improvement.
I will transfer another $300,000 to you within one month after we achieve mass production.
How about $500,000?"
This time, the cunning Jiro Oda could no longer hold back and showed his greatest sincerity.
And these five hundred thousand dollars were not paid by Hitachi!
Before coming to China, Jiro Oda withdrew all his savings and even mortgaged his own property to raise a large sum of money.
He converted all the money into US dollars and deposited it in Citibank.
The purpose of this trip to China is to purchase the pressure cooker patent from Lin Huowang in his private capacity.
He only brought 200,000 U.S. dollars with him, which was all the assets he could afford.
Some people may think that what Jiro Oda did was quite risky.
But in fact, the inherent benefits are even more terrifying.
Jiro Oda's original plan was to buy the patent for the pressure cooker from Lin Huowang for less than US$200,000.
Then, he took advantage of his position and sold the patent of the pressure cooker to Hitachi in a covert way.
Moreover, it is not the kind of patent transfer that is bought out in one go, but is licensed on an annual basis.
