Facing Aidon's inquiry, Zhao Guoyang was about to respond, and Marcus said over there: "Mr. Aidon, Mr. Zhao's patent use rights are not only granted according to the number of enterprises, but also divided into regions."

"Although your company is a branch of Volkswagen Group, since you and Volkswagen are in different countries and regions, it is difficult to confuse this patent right."

After Marcus finished speaking with a sensible look, Jeffries's face suddenly became a little ugly.

He really didn't expect that this specialist from the St. Paul Patent Office would help Zhao Guoyang so thoroughly.

Ayton's face was also a little solemn, and he said to Marcus in a deep voice: "Mr. Marcus, is there no room for improvement in this matter?"

Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Zhao Guoyang said calmly: "Hey, Mr. Jeffries, Mr. Ayton, this rule has been set by everyone. Since we are working together sincerely, I will not be too concerned about this small issue."

Zhao Guoyang's eyes turned on Mao Zhichun beside him and turned to the public and said, "Let's do this, the price of the two patents will be based on five million US dollars."

Just as Ayton was about to refute, Zhao Guoyang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ayton, listen to me first. The five million US dollars are the package price of your Volkswagen Latin American company, plus the Volkswagen Group headquarters, and the two companies are combined."

As soon as Zhao Guoyang said this, the people on Volkswagen Latin America's side all relaxed their faces.

Jeffries and the treasurer Carlson looked at each other and said overjoyed: "Okay, okay, Mr. Zhao is so happy. Our Volkswagen Company fully agrees with this price. Let's start signing the contract now?"

Zhao Guoyang nodded slightly and said, "The signing of the contract must be signed, but before that, I would like to make a small request with your company."

"What are the requirements?" Jeffries asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I hope you can send one or two batches of engineers to our Songqi Group for guidance every year. We also send several batches of technicians to your side to learn from each other, and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses! How about it?"

The reason why he made such a request was because Zhao Guoyang noticed that the gap between Songqi Group and the international advanced level in terms of technology and philosophy is indeed very large.

Just like this new model design, when people from Volkswagen Latin America designed it, Chen Bin and his team could only sit aside and watch it. The design level and thinking vision were far behind.

If there has been no improvement in this regard, it will be difficult to improve the automotive design level of Songqi Group and even the entire Republic.

In addition, Zhao Guoyang secretly had his own little plan. Whether it was himself or Hongda Machinery Factory, he would be involved in the automotive field in the future.

If you can discover and win over some technical personnel through communication with Volkswagen Latin American companies, it will undoubtedly be of great help to your future development.

After Zhao Guoyang made this request, Mao Zhichun nodded to him with gratitude.

Jeffries and Aiton on the opposite side discussed for a while, gestured with an ok sign and said, "Yes, we are willing to accept Mr. Zhao's proposal."

After the goal was achieved, Ayton also said happily: "Yes, our product designers of Volkswagen Latin America are all very admiring Mr. Zhao's design ability. If you have the opportunity, of course you need to communicate more."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang waved his hand and said, "This is a must. As long as the technicians of your company come, I will definitely have a good chat with you."

The price has been negotiated, and the contract is signed.

There are people from the State Patent Office of St. Paul and those who have made the decision are also there. The contract matters are signed directly in the conference room of the presidential suite without any twists and turns.

When signing the contract, Jeffries said to Zhao Guoyang: "Mr. Zhao, according to the contract, the cost of this patent right will be reviewed and transferred within our Volkswagen Group for about three days, and then you can call it."

"You need to provide an international bank account. After deducting the tax rate, we can just transfer it to your account."

Zhao Guoyang heard this and said, "This is no problem. I can provide it to your company before returning to China."

At this point, the patent matter has been settled.

In addition to joy, Jeffries also called VIP's exclusive waiter to open two bottles of high-end red wine to celebrate.

In this regard, Zhao Guoyang also secretly praised the heroic spirit of the chairman of Volkswagen Latin America.

After a cup of tea with Zhao Guoyang, Ayton sat directly next to him and exchanged some ideas and ideas on car design.

Although Zhao Guoyang just said a few words lightly, every opinion made Aiton reminisce after listening to it and praised it repeatedly.

Seeing that the time was almost over, Mao Zhichun touched Zhao Guoyang's shoulder and whispered: "Guoyang, it's almost time for us to set off. Consul General Luan Shengfeng is probably waiting."

"Ah, yes, yes, I almost forgot this." Zhao Guoyang, who was having a lot of chatting, quickly greeted Jeffries, Ayton and others.

"Okay, since Mr. Zhao still has to catch the plane, we won't delay you any more." Jeffries nodded readily, turned around and whispered a few times to a entourage.

The next moment, the entourage brought two small gift boxes and respectfully handed them to Zhao Guoyang and Mao Zhichun.

"Mr. Zhao, this is a small souvenir prepared by our Volkswagen Latin America Company. I hope you and Chairman Mao are not polite." Jeffries smiled and said

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang laughed.

Indeed, when I went abroad to visit some super companies in my previous life, I often received such souvenirs.

Generally speaking, these small souvenirs are either pens printed with corporate logos or gadgets in lighters, which are more delicate but not expensive.

Zhao Guoyang took the thing and thanked him: "Since that's the case, then thank you Mr. Jeffries."

People from Volkswagen Latin America have been sending Zhao Guoyang and Mao Zhichun to the elevator, and then they slowly turn back.

After getting on the elevator, Mao Zhichun couldn't help asking: "Guoyang, it's not good for us to just accept gifts, right? Should we go back and report to Mayor Huang?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but joke: "Don't worry, Chairman Mao, foreigners have always been honest. If they say they are small souvenirs, they are definitely not valuable things. Such a little thing is just a normal exchange of courtesy. Even if you report to Mayor Huang, he probably still thinks you are too long-winded..."

Mao Zhichun thought about it, and the same was true. He coughed and put away the small box.

...

Sitting on the Boeing 747 and looking through the window at the airport below, Zhao Guoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? Our Researcher Zhao is still thinking about the beautiful and charming Miss Susanna?" Zhang Yufang next to him joked with a slight slight .

"Hey, no, I just feel that time passes so fast. It took us ten days to come to St. Paul in a flash..." Zhao Guoyang shook his head and murmured.

"Yes!" Zhang Yufang seemed to feel a little touched, and nodded gently.

"To be honest, the city of St. Paul is really charming. It's a pity that I don't have time to visit it well. I missed this time. I don't know if it's going to be the year of the Monkey and Horse Month in the future..."

After hearing Teacher Zhang's sigh, Zhao Guoyang turned to his side and said, "Teacher Zhang, don't worry about this. Our Songqi Group and Volkswagen Latin American Company have initially reached a cooperation intention."

"In the future, Chairman Mao will lead a team to study and there will definitely be many opportunities for inspection. You are a Portuguese expert and an acquaintance. If he wants to come here, he will definitely ask you to accompany you."

Mao Zhichun, who was sitting upright in the front row, turned his head when he heard this, and smiled and said to Zhang Yufang, "Yes, Teacher Zhang, Guoyang is right."

"If our new models of Songqi Group and Volkswagen Latin America can be successful, the cooperation level will be further expanded in the future and personnel exchanges will be more frequent. At that time, I will have to trouble you."

After receiving Mao Zhichun's promise, Zhang Yufang's face was filled with joy.

After thanking Chairman Mao, she looked at Zhao Guoyang with a deep meaning, and her good impression of this young man became deeper.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yufang seemed to have thought of something and asked with a little curiosity: "Guoyang, when Miss Susanna came to see you off, she gave you a bank card? If I read it correctly, it seems to be from Standard Chartered Bank?"

When he said this, Zhang Yufang's voice was very low, as if he was worried that he would be heard by Mao Zhichun and Zhong Bo sitting in front of him.

Zhao Guoyang nodded indifferently and said, "Yes, Teacher Zhang is quite careful in observing this bank card. I entrust Miss Susanna to help me with this. At that time, the patent usage fee given to me by Volkswagen Latin America will be transferred to this card."

"Ah, so that's how it is!" After hearing this, Zhang Yufang suddenly realized why Zhao Guoyang was not worried that Chairman Mao Zhichun would know about this.

However, Zhang Yufang seemed to have thought of something again, so she asked curiously: "Guoyang, I'm a little curious. After you have deposited this huge sum of money in Standard Chartered Bank, how can you withdraw it when you return to China? It seems that there is no branch of Standard Chartered Bank in our country yet?"

Zhao Guoyang didn't expect that Teacher Zhang Yufang knew a lot.

However, this is not difficult to understand. As a teacher at Zhendan University, Zhang Yufang has many colleagues who have returned from studying abroad, so it is normal to have some understanding of the situation of international banks.

Thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang explained: "I have asked Mayor Huang for instructions on this matter long ago. I can go directly to the Songjiang Municipal Finance Bureau to exchange it for RMB without paying additional taxes."

Hearing this, Zhang Yufang opened her mouth and looked at Zhao Guoyang with an incredible expression.

In fact, what Zhang Yufang didn’t know was that Zhao Guoyang actually sold it to Songjiang City for such a sale.

In the 1990s, foreign exchange reserves in major domestic cities were very scarce.
