Chapter 515: The flowers are blooming, and you think they are beautiful~ (Three more chapters to repay the debt)
After the two cooperation agreements came into the hands of Liu Lenovo and Ni Dashen, Ni Dashen read them very carefully, especially those involving technical requirements, and he carefully considered every word.
After reading only a few pages, Liu Lianxiang immediately expressed his opinions.
"Ms. Veronica, how will you pay us for your research expenses?"
"Also, can you please not pay the research funds in three installments? Because scientific research projects are continuous, if they are interrupted in the middle, all the previous efforts may be wasted."
"Also, the penalty you set is too high. For a cooperation project worth a total of one million US dollars, the penalty is 10 million US dollars. This is totally inconsistent with the national conditions in the mainland. No one will accept such cooperation conditions."
"Student Li Ye, please help translate it."
Veronica is a big blonde beauty. The last time she came, she stood next to Pei Wencong and basically didn't say a word.
So Liu Lianxiang thought that Li Ye's translation was for her.
But Veronica glanced at Liu Lianxiang and said, "We hope to pay the research funds through Nanyang Bank transfer.
The payment is divided into three times because we are not sure whether you can develop the products we need on time.
"As for the penalty for breach of contract, as long as you, Mr. Liu, do not breach the contract, it is just a line of nonsense."
“.”
Liu Lianxiang and others were stunned for a moment, because Veronica spoke Mandarin, although it was not very standard, but it was enough to communicate.
Only then did Liu Lianxiang understand what Li Ye meant by "taking money for free".
You are just here to make some cameo appearance!
Li Ye didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Lianxiang at the moment. All his attention was on Master Ni.
Because Master Ni has been looking at a page of the cooperation agreement for a long time, and there is still no sign of turning it.
[Is the technology difficult? No way? 】
Li Ye remembered that the first programmable switching system approved for network access in the mainland was successfully developed in recent years, and it was produced by a factory affiliated to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Master Ni has a long-standing reputation, so he wouldn’t be stumped, right?
Luo Runbo saw Li Ye's concentration, and then noticed Master Ni who was deep in thought.
So he said gently: "Mr. Ni, do you have any questions about our cooperation requirements?"
"Yes~"
Master Ni didn't wait for Liu Lianxiang and the others to wink at him, and asked honestly, "Excuse me, the technical standards you require are equal to or better than Fujitsu's F150 model, right?"
Luo Runbo nodded and said, "Yes, if the product performance is lower than that of F150, then we have no technical advantage and it will be difficult to promote it in the market."
Master Ni nodded and said, "I have another question. Your supplementary clause on the research period is a bet, right?"
Luo Runbo nodded and said, "Yes, you can choose to shorten the R&D cycle based on your own technical strength. If you succeed, the bonus will be doubled. If you fail, you will have to pay liquidated damages."
"Buzz~"
Everyone at the Computer Institute was surprised and started talking among themselves.
They had long anticipated the compensation, after all, Western capital likes to use this to scare people.
But I have never encountered such a situation where I could double my profits by successfully conducting research in advance.
In an era of "working hard, working fast and rushing to work", completing tasks ahead of schedule would result in a few enamel cups, which was a sought-after honor.
But if on top of this honor, there is also a large bonus, wouldn’t that be even better?
Liu Lianxiang quickly turned to the line of supplementary terms and after studying it carefully, he also looked excited.
The base amount for this cooperation is $500,000, which is already quite a lot. If it can increase by another $250,000, or even double to $1 million,
"Old Ni, are you confident that you can complete the development task within a year?"
Liu Lianxiang asked Master Ni directly, and the first thing he asked was the one with the highest reward.
Master Ni remained silent, as if he was unsure.
"Old Ni, think about it again"
Liu Lenovo was a little anxious, and his words sounded oppressive.
This is also the habit of mainland managers. When setting tasks, the first thing they consider is what they can get after doing it. As for how to do it, that is something their subordinates should consider.
I only care about the results, not the process.
You can't do it because you lack the ability and your attitude is problematic.
Master Ni suddenly raised his head and asked Luo Runbo with burning eyes: "What if we succeed in developing it in six months? Would that give us $1.5 million?"
“.”
"Old Ni, you."
Liu Lianxiang was just about to say to Lao Ni that you had calculated wrong, it should be 1.25 million US dollars, not 1.5 million US dollars, but the technical team in Hong Kong suddenly went into chaos.
Several technicians kept saying something in Cantonese, with expressions of disdain and contempt.
Li Ye, a translator who was paid for nothing, felt that it was time for him to play a role.
"They don't believe you, saying you might be a bunch of liars. Given the level of semiconductor technology in the mainland, it is impossible to develop a product that is better than the F150 within six months."
Liu Lianxiang and the others were stunned and a little angry.
Master Ni said bluntly: "That's just what they think. Since I said six months, it means six months. Just ask them if they are willing to accept this bet agreement."
Li Ye smiled and said to Luo Runbo, "Six months of research and development, one million and five hundred thousand dollars, this is a very good deal, okay, do you accept it?"
[Boss, you said it’s a good deal, do I have the guts to refuse? ]
But Luo Runbo asked Master Ni again: "Mr. Ni, you will sign the terms of the bet, right?"
Master Ni said calmly, "Sure, as long as you provide the research funds on time, I guarantee that it will be successfully developed in six months."
Luo Runbo nodded and turned to communicate with Veronica and others.
However, the people in the technical team still did not believe in Master Ni’s half-year promise.
Finally, Veronica asked Master Ni: "Hello, Mr. Ni, I don't know the scientific research situation in the mainland, but my technical team has raised a few questions about your scientific research capabilities. I hope you can answer them."
Hong Kong Island's technical team began to ask questions, and asked several questions in a row. Master Ni gave professional answers to all of them, and Li Ye also acted as a translator several times.
In fact, Li Ye was not worried that Mr. Ni would not be able to handle these problems, because the engineers in ordinary Western companies were not on the same level as the researchers in the top research institutes in the mainland, let alone a figure like Mr. Ni.
At the end, Li Ye smiled and said to Veronica: "They shouldn't question Mr. Ni, because this is the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a place where miracles are created."
“Oh, the place where miracles are created.”
Veronica looked at Li Ye and didn't raise any more objections.
Pei Wencong had never told her about Li Ye's identity, but she had followed Pei Wencong to the capital many times and had realized that this handsome Oriental man had a special relationship with her boss.
"Hahahaha, what Li Ye said is very insightful! Our unit has nothing but miracles, nuclear weapons, rockets, satellites, etc.
Many people did not believe us at first, but in the end, facts proved that as long as we set our mind to it, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.”
"In addition, we have a unique advantage in undertaking your research project, which is that we can be responsible for sales. We have good relationships with enterprises and institutions in the mainland."
Liu Lenovo quickly entered into a familiar conversation mode and led the topic from the technical level to the sales level.
"Ms. Veronica, Mr. Luo, you may not know much about the mainland. Products like program-controlled switches require dealing with the postal and telecommunications departments. Technology is important, but personal connections are more important."
Veronica and Luo Runbo listened very carefully. After all, the situation in the mainland is indeed different from that in the West.
But Li Ye's expression turned strange.
You do the technical research, and we are responsible for production. After production, we let you sell it. Then aren't we your OEM factory? You think it's a good idea!
Luo Runbo had been paying attention to Li Ye. Seeing his strange expression, he immediately asked, "Student Li Ye, do you know anything about the situation in the mainland?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "I only know that technology is the primary productive force, but I don't understand interpersonal relationships."
“.”
Veronica and Luo Runbo whispered a few words to each other, then quickly interrupted Liu Lianxiang's thoughts and did not continue discussing sales matters.
Two hours later, the two parties finally reached a cooperation agreement, and Mr. Ni solemnly signed his name on the agreement.
"Hahahaha, everyone is tired after talking for the whole morning. Let's go eat and celebrate the success of our cooperation."
Liu Lianxiang greeted his friends in Hong Kong with a cheerful face, intentionally or unintentionally showing his status as the "boss".
Li Ye looked at Master Ni who was ranked behind, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
When a group of poor people who are hungry and cold get together, they have a strong sense of cohesion.
However, once they become wealthy, various internal conflicts will arise, hence the saying "We can only share weal and woe, but not wealth and honor" comes into being.
Now the small group that Master Ni is in is still working together, but when millions of dollars arrive and subsequent profits rise rapidly, it would be strange if there is no power struggle.
Trade, industry and technology, as well as technology, industry and trade, are not entirely a dispute over routes!
