Chapter 344 grants patents to foreigners

"In addition to conventional ships, we are starting to build a few special ships. Zhenhua Heavy Industry needs ships that specialize in transporting gantry cranes. Navy submarines need semi-submersible ships. We can use tankers to refit them. Just like that floating dock, Sister Cong Ju, you are in charge."

  Qin Tao handed over such an important task to Cong Ju, and Cong Ju nodded: "Understood."

   "The construction of warships can't stop either. In addition to the frigates on the berth, we also have to design the new generation of professional air defense ships with four-sided phased array radar in advance. Mr. Yang, I leave this to you."

  As Qin Tao spoke, he said everything that should be said. Suddenly, he thought of something. He still missed a very important thing.

   "The others can leave, Sister Cong Ju, Yang Gong, and Factory Manager Qin stay."

"Laomaozi 112 Design Bureau and 112 Factory need a group of workers and technicians. Our shipyard must be ready to welcome them. At the guest house, prepare guest rooms for them. There are two of them, very important, and Mao Xinxin, Mao Duanzhang and the others are at the same level, and we must make them feel the warmth of home."

  Yang Dawei nodded: "Understood, I will arrange it."

   "After they come, they will set up a special design department, which will become the third design department of our shipyard in the future, specializing in the design of submarines, even nuclear-powered submarines."

  Everyone was shocked.

  Ever since Qin Tao mentioned his grandson, Qin Baoshan has been thinking about his grandson, but now, he has also become excited.

   "We can design and manufacture submarines? That can only be manufactured by the most professional shipbuilding department in China!"

   "President Qin, can the navy agree? After all, we are not state-owned!"

   "These questions are not for your consideration. I just gave you a task. You have to accept the task. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

   The big guy was still shocked.

   "Boss Qin, in this case, do we need to build a special workshop?"

"Yes, of course we need to build a special workshop, but not now. After all, we are just using these people to build a small deep-diving lifeboat. With a displacement of dozens of tons, we can just use a workshop, but there are a lot of equipment. We need to prepare more warehouses."

  Building a submarine production workshop now is simply telling others that Mingzhou Group is going to build submarines! This kind of thing, we will talk about it later, anyway, their construction team is still on the side of Parthia.

  Although the agreement has been reached, the equipment, waste titanium alloys, etc. need to be transported by ship. The ordinary workers who come to work also come with the ship. Anyway, the ship can start working.

  As for the technical personnel, including the two experts, they flew here in advance to avoid accidents, and then they were accompanied by special people to travel around, let them feel the enthusiasm of China first, and create a good impression on them.

   Wait until the game is finished, and then start to design. This thing is not difficult. After the design is made, those things also come, just in time to start construction.

  Anyway, it's a drunken man who doesn't want to drink now.

  All the items are arranged properly.

  Qin Baoshan looked at his son and said, "Taozi, if Xiaoling is inconvenient, don't come back this Chinese New Year."

  Qin Tao nodded: "I also have this idea. I will celebrate the New Year in Huating. If you and Mom miss us, go to Huating to find us. The house over there is enough to live in."

In this day and age, it is absolutely inappropriate not to go home during the Chinese New Year, but Qin Tao said it generously, and Qin Baoshan was not annoyed: "No problem, the arrangements will be made here, and your mother and I will go there! "

   After everything was arranged, Qin Tao returned to Huating, and when he arrived at the hospital, Zhao Ling was discharged.

   "Hmph, I want to be beaten up. When I get home, I'll see how I beat her up!" Qin Tao was a little annoyed, isn't it good in the hospital? Have to go home?

   "Mr. Qin, calm down, let alone hit, you can't even get angry." Xu Zhengyang hurriedly reminded Qin Tao, can you fight? It won't do to curse a few words.

  Qin Tao smiled: "Old Xu, are you still married? How do you know the joy of spanking your wife's ass, spanking is a must."

  The residential area is still the same as before. After all, it is relatively close to where Zhao Ling works. However, Qin Tao bought two houses on the same floor.

   It will be much more spacious to live in this way.

  Zhao Ling doesn't really care about housing. After all, she usually lives in the unit's dormitory. Except when Qin Tao comes to see her, she will go home to live.

   But now, after she has a baby in her belly, her attitude has also changed.

  With such a big house, after the baby is born, it should be very comfortable. A house is specially cleaned up and used as a toy and crawling room for children. It is more convenient for relatives to come over.

   After opening up, there were originally two side-by-side bedrooms, which were transformed into a large bedroom as the master bedroom for Qin Tao and Zhao Ling. At this time, there was a person sleeping under a quilt in the master bedroom.

  Qin Tao tiptoed in, then reached into the bed, intending to touch the soft place.

  However, at this moment, the sleeping person let out a snort.

its not right!

  Qin Tao woke up suddenly, and quickly retracted his hand.

  At this time, that person just turned around, revealing a wrinkled face.

  Qin Tao could only feel his heart beating violently, but fortunately he didn't touch it, otherwise, would he still want this hand?

   One step, another step, Qin Tao exited the door, let out a long breath, and then pushed open the opposite door.

  There was a soft light inside, and Zhao Ling was half lying there, reading a book.

   "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Almost killed me." Qin Tao lowered his volume: "How could you let Dad live across the street? That's our room!"

  Actually, it doesn't matter where you live, the key is, Qin Tao needs to know, he almost made a big mistake just now!

   "Dad said, it's not good if the house is too big. There are still a few new pieces of furniture inside, which are smelly."

   "Hmph, I'm angry, and the consequences are serious!"

   Qin Tao said, reaching out to grab the book she was holding: "Also, no work is allowed!"

  Zhao Ling looked at him with a smile: "The consequences are serious? Are you going to hit me?"

"That is."

  As Qin Tao said, he put the study on the table, and glanced at the words on the order.

   Named King?

   It turned out that Xiaoling was studying how to name her while waiting for her return?

   "Okay, I was wrong. However, it's so late, I can't watch it, I have to go to bed."

   "I thought of a few nice ones." Zhao Ling said, "Let's study together. How about calling Qin Shuang? Both men and women are fine."

"not good."

   "Qin Feng?"

"not good."

"Qin Tian?"

   "No, hey, how do you pinch me?"

   "I've been thinking about it for a long time, why aren't you satisfied with any of them?"

the next day.

   "Dad, what are your plans for today?"

  On the large table, several people sat and ate, Zhao Ling asked Wu Shengli.

   "I'm going to visit the Huating Naval Base today. By the way, don't prepare lunch for me. I'll come back in the evening."

   "Dad, I have nothing to do here. I've already been discharged from the hospital. It's fine if Brother Tao is with me. You still..."

   "Why, do you dislike your dad? If you dislike it, your dad will live in the Navy's guest house."

   "No, of course not." Zhao Ling quickly shook her head.

   "Hmph, you don't dare to leave it alone." Wu Shengli glanced at his daughter, and then said, "By the way, find someone to clean up the house. Your mother will probably arrive at night."

   "What? What is my mother doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to take care of you." Wu Shengli said, "This is your first child, and you're tired, and you've got gas, so nothing can happen. Your mother is a doctor, so she has more knowledge in this area. She takes care of you, so I can rest assured."

   "Don't make such a big fight, isn't it just to have a baby? What's the big deal." Zhao Ling was speechless.

   "Your mother is welcome, I will find a nanny right away." Qin Tao said.

  He was worried about how to live this year, but now it's all resolved, and everyone can live well in Huating.

   Just then, the big brother rang again.

   "Hey, what? Okay, got it."

   "Brother Tao, go get busy with whatever you have to do. I'm a good living person and I don't need anyone to take care of me." Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao.

   "It's nothing, I'll go out and find a reliable nanny."

  Huating Hotel.

  The high-end and atmospheric Huating Hotel is the first choice for many foreign businessmen who come here. In addition to accommodation, it can also conduct various business receptions.

   At this time, in a conference room inside the hotel, several Frenchmen sat there with serious faces, waiting for the guests to arrive.

"Michelle, my old friend, you are so lucky, I happen to be in Huating, otherwise, you may wait for a week, or even half a month, and you may not be able to see me." Qin Tao He walked in with Xu Zhengyang with a smile.

  Michel was excited for a while, and quickly stood up: "President Qin, it's a great honor for you to come here, let me introduce you..."

   "Mr. Mbappe, welcome to the East." Of course, Qin Tao knows these people, so why do you introduce them, the executives of GT company, come here together!

  These people flew over yesterday. After arriving, they didn't rest for a few hours before contacting Qin Tao. Of course, it was for the most important thing.

   "This Mr. Sartre, we also met when we were in France." Qin Tao continued to shake hands with other people, almost all of whom were acquaintances.

   "Mr. Qin, we are here this time for technical patents." Mbappe said: "I hope we can reach relevant cooperation."

"Of course there is no problem." Qin Tao nodded: "We used glass wool and polyurethane foam instead of perlite, which became a new heat insulation box material, which greatly reduced the evaporation rate of natural gas. This is an invention and should be used more to contribute to our environmental protection.”

   "No, no." Mbappé shook his head: "We didn't come here for this matter. For us, this is just a small matter."

   "Then why did you come here?"

  Qin Tao asked the question knowingly. These people came all the way, of course, for the patent of the natural gas ship of Mingzhou Group.

  In the thin-film natural gas ship, GT Company is the boss. Of course, they want to continue to sleep on the patent rights, so they feel the crisis.

   "We have received news that your company has developed a new membrane natural gas ship technology, which uses a mixture of Invar steel and stainless steel. Therefore, we want to know whether it infringes our patent rights." Mbappe said.

Qin Tao's face became serious: "Mr. Mbappe, we have applied for a patent. If your patent has been violated, then you should have filed a lawsuit with us long ago. If you are here as a friend, I welcome you , if you are an opponent, then, just make a move, I am not afraid."

   "Mr. Qin, please don't misunderstand us. We are here this time as good friends. If you use our patent, you can also negotiate a solution." Michelle hurriedly smoothed things over.

   "Oh? How are you going to solve it?"

"It's like this, Mr. Qin, your technology is immature, and you can't do without our help." Mbappe continued: "So, for you, it is best to sell the relevant patents to us. In this way, as compensation, when you produce our patent-licensed natural gas ships, you will receive a 1% patent fee for each ship, making you the most profitable shipyard."

  Qin Tao smiled.

   "Hahaha, Mr. Mbappe, you came all the way to tell such a joke? It's so funny!"

   "No, we are serious, you can make a price, no matter how much, we can afford it."

   "The asking price? Well, for each ship, 10% of the selling price will be used as a patent fee."

   "No, no, no, we don't want this, we ask for a one-time purchase."

"You authorize others to buy our patents at the price of each ship, which is a one-off? Mr. Michelle, did I make it clear to you last time? Whether it is a small heat shield box or the entire Membrane boats are all the same, this is our company's regulation, and it is also your company's regulation."

"Mr. Qin, we came from far away France to seek cooperation. For you, this is the best opportunity. No one dares to use your patent. I can guarantee that you will sell all of your ships." Not going out." Mbappe said: "Please recognize the reality, how about 100 million francs?"

  In all fairness, the price is not low. Mbappe knows Qin Tao has a big appetite, so he also offered a good bargaining chip.

   If you want to sell it, 100 million francs, or if you don’t sell it, your natural gas ship can’t be sold either!

"Mr. Qin, this is the greatest sincerity shown by our company." Michelle said: "A small patent can sell for 100 million. In the future, we will mature this technology and use 100% It is the most suitable choice for you to authorize your use at a price of one."

   "100 million francs is indeed a lot." Qin Tao nodded.

  Everyone was overjoyed, it seems that this transaction is a joke?

  When the patent of Mingzhou Group was announced to the public, they were immediately shocked.

Compared with the two solutions of double-layer invar steel and single-layer invar steel, the latter is of course more economical. They also have this idea, but they have not put it into practice. The group has registered a patent first!

   This is equivalent to blocking their development path, and it is definitely a fatal blow to a company like them that relies on patents to make money.

  So, they couldn't bear it anymore, and after urgent consultations, they made their own choice: buy the patent.

   Even if it costs 100 million francs, as long as the patent is in their hands, they can continue to make money in the future.

   "Boss Qin, do you agree?"

   "No, a hen that can lay eggs, and a basket of eggs, how do you choose?"

  The person opposite was silent.

"President Qin, it seems that our trip was for nothing." Mbappe said: "I admire your innovative spirit, but the technology of natural gas ships is very complicated and requires decades of technical precipitation. , None of your patented natural gas ships can be sold.”

"Yes, it is indeed possible, but it doesn't matter. If no shipowner dares to use it, then we will use it ourselves after we build it." Qin Tao smiled on his face: "Our group has a transportation company, and you may also know that we The transportation company is also affiliated with an air transportation company. The world's largest An-225 transport aircraft is owned by our company. Therefore, we don't mind opening another shipping company. The natural gas ships we build are used by ourselves. Anyway, the world's largest There will be more and more demand for natural gas, after all, it is an environmentally friendly energy source."

   As he spoke, Qin Tao stood up: "I think that's the end of our talk today, and if we continue, we probably won't be too friendly."

"President Qin, please stop!" Michelle quickly stopped him: "We believe that as long as we are willing to sit down and talk, we can always find a deal that satisfies both parties. If you have any ideas, you can also say it , let's think about it."

"First of all, we will definitely not sell the relevant patents." Qin Tao said: "If you want to obtain our patents, you can only obtain them through our authorization. This is our bottom line. Only under this framework can we negotiate. possible."

  Mbappe's face was a little ugly.

  They came here with the idea of ​​buying the patent right no matter how much it cost, but now it seems that the other party is not willing to sell the patent at all. Next, what else is there to talk about?

"Of course, the price is negotiable. For example, you want to sell the patents at a price of 5% per ship, while the patents we sell to you only need 2% of the price per ship. , In this way, you will still have a lot of profits." Qin Tao said: "Of course, if you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can also research new membrane ships by yourself. Anyway, our technology cannot be improved in recent years. Spread out a lot, you have plenty of time and energy.”

   This is equivalent to secondary authorization. The combination of stainless steel and invar steel is a patent of Mingzhou Group. GT Company can modify it after obtaining this patent, and then license the patent to others to build natural gas ships.

  Mingzhou Group will not intervene, as long as the corresponding authorization fee is paid.

"Of course, due to fierce market competition, you may give your customers some profits. We can also set the licensing fee at two-fifths of your licensing fee. In this way, if you and the shipyard want 3% of the patent fee, we will Just two-fifths of three percent, or 1.2 percent."

   "Our purpose is to make money for everyone. However, we definitely don't do one-off deals."

  Qin Tao threw out his plan.

  The opponent has no other way to go. The natural gas ship continues to develop, and the route is the combination of stainless steel and Invar steel! It is impossible for the other party to go around.

  So, now it is a win-win cooperation.

"You can think about it and reply to me after you have made a decision. As for patents such as heat insulation boxes, they are all a piece of cake. If you can agree to this plan, the patents for heat insulation boxes will be counted together. That's fine, the price remains the same."

   This is equivalent to Qin Tao giving them a big gift package, free of charge for the heat insulation box patent!

"Of course, in exchange, you need to publicize. The patent of our Mingzhou Group is completely reliable. Don't tarnish our reputation. If I find out that you are secretly spreading rumors and saying bad things about us, then the patent authorization will be terminated. "

This is an irresistible temptation for the other party. Although the patent fees charged are less, they can still make money after all. Moreover, the money is not paid by them, but by the shipyard that uses their patents, that is, they get 20% less money That's all.

   "I'm really leaving. I'm coming out now to find a nanny for the family. If my wife finds out, I'll kneel on the washboard when I go back."

  Qin Tao left these words behind and drifted away with Xu Zhengyang.

   "Mr. Qin, I really didn't expect that there would be a day for us to license patents to foreign companies, especially a leading company in the industry." Xu Zhengyang was very excited.

  He knew that the French had no other choice and would definitely agree to Qin Tao's request in the end. If the news spread, it would definitely be a sensation.

   "With the strength of our country and the advancement of science and technology, we will have a group of well-known enterprises mastering the frontier of science and technology and mastering a large number of patents."

   "Boss Qin, tell me, will we be able to make money lying down just by collecting patent rights in the future?"

  Qin Tao kept talking about lying down and making money, and Xu Zhengyang also learned this word.

"Of course not." Qin Tao said: "The patent fees we charge are only a part of the source of profit. The main thing is to develop the economy and develop the manufacturing industry. This will not only make money, but also drive a large number of jobs. The country wants to develop , it is inseparable from a large number of jobs. Moreover, there are too many patents, and when they can get stuck in other people's necks, they will also be missed, so you have to be careful when going abroad in the future."

  Xu Zhengyang obviously couldn't understand Qin Tao's emotion.

  However, I will understand later.

  The car drove to the labor market, and I had to find a nanny, who came from the countryside, worked hard, couldn't be too old, and couldn't be too beautiful.

   Just then, the big brother rang again.

  Qin Tao felt a little helpless, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, his wife is pregnant, why don't you give yourself a few days to live a stable life?

   "Hello, who is it? Manager Zhang? Which Manager Zhang, please explain clearly! What, Shipbuilding Industry Corporation? Leader, leader, free, of course I am free, have a meeting tomorrow? Got it!"
