"The account of Minister Yuanping is wrong.—{2}{3}{w}{x}" Zhou Shuo sneered: "You think that the high-voltage driver IC and IPS technology we have come up with can expand the current LCD market ten times, dozens of times more than that. But what are the technologies in Sharp's hands can achieve such an effect?"

Zhou Shuo's words are a bit conscience-free. Sharp can make the LCD market so big, but he also relies on technology that can double the market one by one? However, in the market, there are so many demands for the price to pay the money locally. What kind of conscience and logic are talking about at this time, that is a brainless person.

But even though he knew that Zhou Shuo was confusing the concept, Hara Heisuke was helpless. Of course, Sharp had those technologies that changed generations, but now they have become precipitated. For example, Sharp was the first to implement the technology of 14-inch LCD display in the 1980s. At that time, wasn’t this technology that expanded the market for LCD displays more than ten times? But the development of this technology was so complicated and risky. If you wanted to come up with this technology immediately, you didn’t know where to look for it for a while.

"I can't agree with Zhou Sang's words." Harashi Heisuke pondered: "High-voltage drive IC and IPS technologies are of great importance, but without Sharp's technical foundation, they are like castles in the air and moon fishing in the water. It's impossible to say that only these two technologies can build the LCD industry, right?"

"Of course, it is undeniable that Sharp has made outstanding contributions to the development of LCD." Zhou Shuo shrugged and said meaninglessly: "But that is all the past, and the future of LCD display technology belongs to these two technologies."

"Okay, I'll talk about my conditions." Zhou Shuo was unwilling to continue to get entangled with Hara Heijue and said directly: "Sharp can cooperate, but he can only occupy less than 49% of the shares. Only in this way can we put these two technologies into the hands of the joint venture company, or the original conditions. Everyone cross-licensing patents is. If Sharp is willing or not, please choose one of these two plans."

Hara Heisuke keenly felt the toughness and disgust in Zhou Shuo's words. This made him a little strange. Sharp is the leader in the LCD industry, and no one can shake his status in the world in a short time. Since Fanhan Group and BOE intend to enter this field, why do they seem to be not interested in their proposals at all?

This is different from the analysis of the Japanese before coming. Judging from the attitude of mainland China towards foreign investment over the years, joint ventures should be the investment method they like very much. Now China's "market exchange technology" is still a very popular theory. If Chinese people want to build LCD production lines, it is obvious that cooperation with Sharp is a better choice!

Thinking of this, Yuan Pingzhu was sure that this was just a Chinese trick to get.

As the saying goes, nothing new is under the sun. The reasons for national wars are roughly the same as neighborhood disputes. The skills of commercial negotiations are essentially similar to bargaining prices in shopping malls.

I think the goods are the buyer. If you say harsh words, it means that you really want to buy them.

Yuan Pingsuke Feng Qingyun smiled lightly and said, "Zhou Sang can make any requests, as long as he can negotiate, it is good. For example, if you are willing to pay 500 million US dollars in capital for these 49% shares, Sharp is not impossible. But if this is the case, you must pay Sharp the patent usage fee."

Sharp's patent fees are not cheap. Why are only Japanese companies in the world investing in LCDs for the time being? To put it bluntly, it is because several Japanese LCD companies cross-licensing each other to form an alliance of LCD patents. This offsets the patent fees from each other, so that they can stand on the same starting line as Sharp. Companies in other countries need to pay huge patent fees, and this industry becomes useless.

Zhou Shuo refused: "This is not necessary. If Sharp does not have the sincerity of cross-licensing, we will obtain the right to use the patent in other channels."

Harashi Heisuke's face sank, and Zhou Shuo's attitude was too calm. It seemed that he could obtain the right to use the patent. The Japanese LCD patent alliance is not a solid piece. Nec, Panasonic, Toshiba and Hitachi are also Japanese electronic companies. It is impossible to be willing to stay behind Sharp. Has anyone already been in contact with the Panhan Group before? If this is true, it is really troublesome.

However, this situation needs to be confirmed again. It is impossible to make a judgment based on Zhou Shuo's attitude alone.

"Zhou Sang should know Sharp's position in the LCD industry. No matter what your plan is, it is impossible to bypass us." Harashi Heisuke said sinisterly: "Even if you want to get authorization from other companies, we Sharp's consent is still required."

"Then we don't have to worry about Minister Yuanping." Zhou Shuo said lightly: "Or the previous investment ratio is maintained, Sharp owns 49% of the joint venture, or cross-licensing of patents. We will not consider other cooperation methods for the time being."

"It seems that Zhou Sang has no sincerity to cooperate." A cruelty appeared on Harashi Heisuke's face. In the LCD field, no one can speak to Sharp with this attitude: "The Fanhan Group thinks that if you have two new technologies in your hand, you can enjoy the results? Haha, naive! Since that's the case, please allow me to leave for the time being."

Hara Heisuke raised his head and stood up and said sadly: "But I hope Zhou Sang is mentally prepared. When you are willing to return to the negotiating table with Sharp, you will not be as in this situation as you are now."

"Since that's the case, I'll send Minister Yuanping." Zhou Shuo issued an order to expel guests without any hesitation.

No one expected that Sharp's delegation would not even sit on a chair, and today's meeting was over. Heisuke Harabata had a dark face and went straight into the rented car with a group of Sharp's staff, and the group rode away.

Sitting in the car, Hara Heisuke looked at the Huaqing University campus outside, looking a little tragic. The low-pressure atmosphere spread in the car, and no one dared to say a word.

"Ruli Jingxiang."

"Hi, Minister Harahira!" Liuri Kyoka responded quickly when she heard the call. The negotiations were not going well today, and she was worried that Harahirasuke would use her as an angry bag.

Hara Heijue turned his head, looked at Liuri Kyoka sitting behind him, and asked thoughtfully: "You have contacted Zhou Shuo before, how does he feel?"

"I don't think I'm a very strong person, gentle and polite, um--" Liuri Kyoka thought for a while before continuing: "But I always feel like I'm keeping people from thousands of miles away."

"Isn't it very strong?" Harashi Heisuke frowned. How could Zhou Shuo's performance today be said to be not strong enough? He dared to challenge Sharp. He hasn't met such a person for a long time.

He shook his head and pondered: "China's crystal dragon plan is very important. We should not go back to Japan for the time being. I want to have an in-depth understanding of the situation here. Do you have any channels to get information?"

"Me?" Liuri Kyoka was stunned and shook her head, "Minister, I have never been to China before, I'm afraid..."

"Well, what you said makes sense, it's me that I was rash." Hara Heisuke nodded and admitted that he was a little anxious. He sighed and said, "Okay, I will send a message back to the headquarters and let the Administration coordinate our relationship in China. In any case, Chinese people cannot master LCD technology so easily."

After saying these words to Kyoka Ruri, he turned his head to look at Mitsushima, the director of the Technology Development Department. This is a woman with a delicate face, so beautiful that it is hard to believe that she is actually a female academic master who develops technology, and she is more like a TV star! However, as long as she sees her always cold expression, any man who has a bad idea of ​​her will be unable to help but feel unfair.

"All islands, high-voltage drive IC and IPS technology, are your technology development department confident of realizing it?"

Manshima nodded with a glossy face and said with a stiff nod, "Don't worry, Minister Yuanhei, we have no problem with the technology that Chinese people can achieve."

"Oh! That's great!" Harahisuke said happily: "I don't know how long it will take for you to come up with these two technologies? We must be prepared to deal with it before the Chinese start production."

Thinking of Zhou Shuo's cold attitude, he couldn't help but snorted: "Since Fanhan Group is ignorant, we don't have to be too polite. It is of course good to keep the patent in your hands, and it's not a big deal."

For a company of Sharp, trampling on patents is not a big problem. After all, Fanhan Group is just a Chinese company, with total assets only a few billion US dollars. This is like Microsoft ignores the patents of small companies, but it is just a lawsuit. What is important is market share. Even if you lose a lot of money, it is a victory to be able to squeeze out competitors.

Of course, this is due to a huge gap in size between the two parties. No matter how domineering Microsoft is, it is impossible for it to ignore large companies like Oracle like it is.

In Harahisuke's view, the Panhan Group obviously cannot be compared with Sharp. The gap between the two is probably much larger than that of Microsoft and Oracle.

Mitsuki Manjima lowered his head and thought for a while, saying, "With the principle, it will take at least a year to develop these two technologies."

This is also the reason why many technology companies were unwilling to apply for patents in China in their early years. They must write the principles for applying for patents, which is equivalent to guiding the direction for latecomers. Many high-tech technologies do not apply for patents anyway, and Chinese people will not copy them. Since this is the case, there is no motivation to apply for patents.

However, as a weaker party, if you don’t apply for a patent, you will not even have the chance to sue. The two rights are the least likely to be affected, and Fanhan Group then registered a patent in Japan.
