But when you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case. Let Lao Bai work for you for free?
Wan Feng doesn't have that kind of awareness.
People in European countries all come from bandits, and they don’t have the spirit to be like Lei Feng.
"Mr. Currit, go ahead! Tell me what you want. If it's reasonable, we can discuss it."
Since the other party will not be a Lei Feng, he must have something to ask for. It’s such a simple thing.
This time, Curette's speech was longer, babble-on and babble-on like an old lady's foot binding in ancient times, and Reuben also inserted a few words in the middle, which made it seem even longer.
The translator didn't translate it right away, probably because some of the sentences couldn't be confirmed. He asked a few more questions and only told Wan Feng the meaning after confirmation.
Currit meant that they did not want a salary, but they wanted to own half of the intellectual property rights, and they wanted half of the profits when the technology was commercialized in the future.
The other party doesn't want salary, but property rights and profits. This is a big move.
Wan Feng needs to think carefully about this.
This project is undoubtedly a very expensive one. ASML launched the dual-worktable lithography machine in 2000.
The reason for their successful research was that the company went public in 1995 and they obtained sufficient funds for research and development.
In other words, they spent five years and reportedly invested tens of millions of yuan.
Even if Wanfeng provides sufficient funds now, it will take until around 1995 for this lithography machine to be successful.
He needs to prepare at least 500 million Chinese yuan to invest in this.
After they succeed, they want to take half of the profits and half of the property rights. Even if the thing was researched by you, why do you feel like you are being taken advantage of?
Seeing that Wan Feng didn't answer for a long time, the guy named Reuben also started mumbling.
What he meant was that this was a win-win issue, because it involved their own interests, and these people would work hard and not be lazy at all.
What that means is that if Wan Feng is the only one working, he might become lazy, and it's hard to say whether a five-year project can be completed in ten years.
This is a bit threatening, but it also makes sense.
Furthermore, Reuben said that if they didn't do this project, they could be sure that no one else in the world would be able to do it within 20 years. This would render the technology useless, so it would be better to develop it and everyone would share half of the profit.
Who says foreigners are short-sighted? Their vision is quite good! This is no longer just looking into the distance from the ground, at least it is standing on the roof.
It can be considered a strategic vision.
They are right. If there is no direct benefit to them, can you still tell that they are just slacking off?
If they don't make this lithography machine, it will be a dead thing, and Wan Feng will waste his money to buy it only to use it as scrap.
As an outsider, Wan Feng certainly couldn't see it, so his money would be wasted.
Once it is successfully produced, both parties can share the big money.
"How do you know that you can succeed? And after success, you can unify the world?" Wan Feng did not directly answer the other party's question, but asked a question in return.
After the translator translated Wan Feng's words, Reuben stood up, obviously a little excited.
"We have identified the problems and reasons why we were unsuccessful before, but we simply don't have the money to solve them. If we had 100 million euros, we would definitely be able to overcome them, and it wouldn't take more than five years."
One hundred million yuan?
The current exchange rate between the Chinese yuan and the US dollar is about 1 to 3.77.
It cost less than 400 million?
That would be great, it would save money and could save him 100 million yuan.
"Even if you succeed, can you guarantee that you can beat all the lithography machines on the market?"
Reuben's face showed a look of contempt. "The lithography machines on the market now are all contact lithography machines. Compared with our non-contact lithography machines, they are already a generation behind. They can still occupy a place in the micron era, but they are useless when chips enter the nanometer era. Above 500 nanometers, they are still somewhat useful, but below 500 nanometers, they are just a pile of scrap metal. Our dual-worktable lithography machine can theoretically process down to about 30 nanometers. Once our lithography machine research is successful, all lithography machines on the market will be finished!"
When Reuben said this, he sounded a bit domineering.
Wan Feng couldn't tell whether what Reuben said was true or not, but what he said about their lithography machines being able to produce down to 30 nanometers was true, and it was far from that.
"Mr. Currit! Mr. Reuben! Your proposal is not unreasonable, but there is one condition I cannot accept."
After the translator finished translating, Curit and Reuben looked at each other.
"What conditions?"
"I can give you half of the profits when we commercialize it in the future, but I can't give you the intellectual property rights. Dividing the property rights between two companies will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future. I'm very experienced in this. As compensation, I can provide your team with a salary of one million yuan a year."
If the other party owns half of the intellectual property rights, it may become a mess in the future.
We can’t say that if we don’t handle it well, it will be a mess!
Foreign countries want to buy lithography machines. Wanfeng says it won’t sell them, but they say they will sell them. Should we sue them then?
Therefore, Wanfeng must have complete intellectual property rights.
Curiet and Reuben chatted incoherently for a long time.
"Wan! This won't work! If we don't have the intellectual property rights, what will you do if you don't share the profits with us in the future?"
It turns out this is what foreigners care about.
"We Chinese always keep our promises and we guarantee that we will do what we promised."
"Words are not enough."
"We can sign a contract. If I really don't share the profits with you in the future, you can sue me in court."
"Are your laws fair? We don't believe in your laws."
These foreigners always see the world through their own eyes.
"Then you can also file a complaint with the United Nations!"
"You haven't joined the WTO, so it's useless to complain to the United Nations."
The West's long-term smearing and slandering of socialist countries has left a deep-rooted impression of socialist countries in the minds of foreigners.
"Don't worry! By the time your lithography machine research is successful, China will have joined the WTO. China has always sought to join the WTO, but it's you Western countries that won't let us in. But that day won't be too far away."
It is true that China is seeking to join the WTO, but Western countries are always thinking about how to sign rules that will give them an advantage, so they are always procrastinating.
It will only take ten years. In another ten years, China will join the WTO.
It was only after joining the WTO that foreigners discovered that even after signing rules that took advantage of China, they were still no match for the Chinese.
The Chinese defeated the West step by step in a reasonable manner under the rules they set.
