Chapter 74: The First Step
Jiang Hao took Lili over. When the middle-aged man saw Jiang Hao, he smiled and said in English: "Hello, welcome to visit. We are C-CUBE Company. This time we are exhibiting our own image decompression chip technology."
Jiang Hao knew that this person was Sun Yansheng, the creator of image decompression chips, and was a Chinese American.
"Can you explain the image decompression chip technology in detail?" Jiang Hao asked pretending to be interested.
Sun Yansheng had been standing for a whole morning, and there were very few people coming to inquire. Even if someone came, he just glanced at him and left, and had no interest in his skills.
Now that someone wants to understand, Sun Yansheng is naturally happy, with a smile on his face, and said to Jiang Hao and Lili: "Ms. Sir, let's sit down and chat."
Although the stall was small, there were still a few chairs. The three of them sat down and Sun Yansheng began to explain to Jiang Hao what MPEG technical standards, what cryptographic restrictions were, various technical characteristics, values, etc.
Jiang Hao basically couldn't understand it, but he still kept smiling and listened politely. After about ten minutes, Sun Yansheng finally finished speaking and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, what do you think of our technology?"
how?
Jiang Hao doesn’t understand technology, so he can say anything. Since he doesn’t understand, don’t say much. The more he talks, the more he shows his timidity, and asks directly: “How much do you plan to sell this technology?”
Sun Yansheng was stunned. This person was too direct. Even if he bought the technology, he would ask the price before he came up. He only asked the price after understanding the entire technology clearly.
"Oh, I never thought about selling technology directly. If someone wants to use this technology, I will be selling authorization." Sun Yansheng said.
Jiang Hao shook his head, "If you only purchase the right to use, it's meaningless. You just said that your product is a decompression technology, and it is based on the MPEG standard. It can only be said to be an extended application of the standard. Compared with DVD technology, there are certain defects, such as not supporting multi-language, multi-subtitles, multi-angle, no menu, no hyperlink function, and small capacity."
Sun Yansheng frowned after hearing Jiang Hao's words. These were indeed VCD problems, but he still defended: "But his production is much cheaper than DVDs, and CDs are much cheaper."
"But the technology is also much behind, right? DVD itself is now a relatively mature technology. If you develop a technology that is not as good as it is, the final result will be to be eliminated by good technology. I don't need to say more about this."
Sun Yansheng was speechless.
Sun Yansheng is a relatively smart person. He hopes that his technology can be popularized so that he can make more money, which is better than selling it to a family. However, the problems he has in his own way do limit the future development of this technology.
"How much do you plan to acquire my technology?" Sun Yansheng asked.
Jiang Hao was happy. As long as he asked for the price, it meant that he felt relieved and he had a great chance to buy him.
“$150,000.”
"Oh, no, it's too little. We've found that it costs more than $150,000," Sun Yansheng shouted.
"There are many techniques that have been researched, but they are worthless."
"But I think he is very valuable."
“…”
The two began to discuss the price issue. At noon, Jiang Hao, Sun Yansheng and Lili came to a Chinese restaurant for dinner and continued to communicate during the meal. The price finally reached 650,000 US dollars. Basically, Jiang Hao was unwilling to add it. Sun Yansheng also felt that the price had reached his bottom line and was a little moved.
After lunch, the two returned to the exhibition. Jiang Hao said to Sun Yansheng: "Mr. Sun, think about it. I will take Lili to other stalls for a walk. Maybe I will encounter my favorite technology. We will come back in an hour. I hope I can hear the results then."
Jiang Hao took Lili away, and Sun Yansheng sat in the stall and fell into deep thought. Should he sell it or not? If he sells it, he can get some funds. His small company can continue to operate and continue to study technology. If he doesn't sell it, the other party will not accept the authorization method.
Looking at the crowd coming and going, few people looked at his stall, let alone stopped to ask, which made Sun Yansheng a little depressed.
Forget it, I'm short of money, so I'll sell it.
An hour later, Jiang Hao returned to Sun Yansheng's stall. After the two sat down, Sun Yansheng said bluntly: "Mr. Zhao, I promised to sell this technology. I own all patents of this technology, but I have not applied for it yet. After buying the technology, you can apply for it yourself. However, I want 800,000 US dollars, which is my final price. If you don't agree, then we have nothing to discuss."
Jiang Hao was secretly happy, but he still thought for a while before finally agreeing: "800,000, okay, I accept this price, but I also have a request, I want to invite Mr. Sun to help me study the practical application of image decompression chips."
"Of course, I'm responsible for food, accommodation and transportation. After success, I will get a bonus of 100,000 US dollars. The location is in Japan. I will also recruit other staff to help you."
Sun Yansheng is an actual researcher of this technology. No one knows this technology better than him. It is much more convenient to find him than to find someone else.
Sun Yansheng thought for a while and said, "Yes."
For the sake of the US dollar.
The two looked at each other and smiled and shook hands to make a deal.
The exhibition will have a special place to make contracts. The two went there together. With the help of the conference staff, they signed a formal contract. Jiang Hao also happily transferred the money to the other party's card. After receiving the contract documents, Jiang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The first and most important part of the money-making plan has finally been completed.
Jiang Hao and Sun Yansheng returned to the stall and saw a middle-aged Asian man standing there looking at the information on the table. Jiang Hao felt moved.
Could it be...
The two walked over, and the middle-aged man looked up and saw that they were both Asian faces. He was slightly stunned and asked in English: "I don't know if this stall belongs to two."
"It was mine before, but now it belongs to him." Sun Yansheng pointed at Jiang Hao and smiled relaxedly.
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Hao with a little surprised look. Jiang Hao said, "I have bought this technology."
The middle-aged man showed a slightly disappointed expression after hearing this.
Jiang Hao looked at the other party and asked in Chinese: "You are from the Chinese delegation."
"Hey, are you Chinese?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
Jiang Hao said: "I will introduce myself, Zhao Tie, a Chinese, makes a living in Japan."
"Jiang Wanmeng, an engineer at Anhui Provincial Institute of Modern Television Technology."
When he met, he was indeed the later VCD researcher, the famous Wanyan CEO Jiang Wanmeng.
My arrival has changed the historical process. Now that this technology has been bought first by me, I am afraid there will be no Wan Yan in the future.
