When Kameda Masao met Feng Yu, he bowed 90 degrees, which Feng Yu easily accepted and returned with a curled hand greeting.
"Mr . Feng, my company, is very sincere, and we will give you 10 USD license fee for each unit of air humidifier. It's already very high. The Japanese market is not very big. ”
"No no No . That's not the main point. The important point is that you have to buy a patent authorization for the same period of the patent and you have to pay all the authorization fees in one go! "
Next year, there will be a financial crisis in Japan, and many Japanese companies go bankrupt. Who knew that this Black Dragon Co. would be such an unlucky one?
Patent costs should be collected now even if it is lower than expected. If the fees were collected on an annual basis, who knew if Feng Yu could receive them in the second year. But there was also the possibility that Feng Yu could collect them every year for the next 10 years.
However, the risk was too great for Feng Yu, and he did not dare to bet. If he could make 50 dollars now, why wait 100 dollars 10 years later? If Feng Yu invested 50 dollars now, he would earn more than double in a year!
"Mr . Feng, the pressure will be too great for my company if we have to pay all the patent fees at once. Also, it is very unlikely for my company to sell 1 million units! "
Feng Yu showed a surprised facial expression: "No way. Kamada, the last time you told me that Japan has a population of over 100 million and there are over 20 million wealthy families. Adding these families and offices, you will all sell at least 1 million units in the next 10 years. These are the exact words you told me. ”
Kameda Masao had a bitter expression. He had overestimated the Japanese market and said all of that to make Feng Yu lower the cost of the patent. But he did not expect Feng Yu would use this statics against him for his company to pay the patent fees at once.
"Mr . Feng, that's just an estimate and is the best scenario. However, the market was full of surprises, and we couldn't be sure how many units we could sell. What if we could only sell 200,000 units or even 100,000 units? ”Finally Kameda hides a good reason and secretly feels relieved.
"Eh? Can't . Since your company is so weak, why should I authorize my patent for your company? I can choose to export to your company or look for a better company, like Sharp or Panasonic, to work with. They never contacted my office abroad. '' Feng Yu replied calmly.
Did these 2 companies actually contact Fu Guangzheng's company in Hong Kong? Of course . But negotiations failed the first time they met. That was because these 2 companies heard that they were only allowed to sell in the Japanese market and the patent fees were too high.
But the Black Dragon Co. did not know about this. This made Kameda worried. If he can't get this deal, his position as a Chinese market Rep might be taken away from him, and he might even lose his job!
"Mr . Feng, please consider my company first. We are really sincere. "Kameda Masao stood up and gave Feng Yu another 90-degree arc.
He was stationed in China for almost 8 years and of all the Chinese he met, they treated him as an enemy or wanted to please him for money. This was the first time he had met someone who had completely ignored him.
Feng Yu gave him the feeling of being a cunning and ingenious man, not a young man. But, the person in front of him was a High School student!
Feng Yu had the patent, and this was something the other party wanted. Also, Feng Yu has shown its moisturizing popularity in the Chinese and overseas markets. This makes patents more valuable.
Feng Yu also made it very clear that he did not need to authorize Black Dragon Co. He could also import humidifiers into Japan himself and make money.
Looking at Kameda's expression, Feng Yu knew that he had almost touched his bottom line. He has requested 10 million USD. Not to mention small companies like Black Dragon Co. , even large companies like Sharp, would also reject it!
Feng Yu just wanted more money for his investment plan in the stock market later this year. It seems that he should give Kameda some concessions now.
"How about this? You have all estimated that the average sales in a year is about 100,000 units and this will be 1 million USD. You must give me at least a 5-year patent fee worth 5 million USD. I've given you a lot of concessions. Is this all right? "
"How about this? You have all estimated that the average sales in a year is about 100,000 units and this will be 1 million USD. You must give me at least a 5-year patent fee worth 5 million USD. I've given you a lot of concessions. Is this all right? "
“No problem for 1 year advanced payment, but for 5 years, it is too high. "Kameda's eyes sparkle. Feng Yu had relented, which meant that he was willing to negotiate further.
Feng Yu acted like this was a troubling matter and said: “Payment of 1 year down payment is definitely impossible. I will not be able to answer to my family. How about 3 years? After 3 years, it will be done every year. Every year, your company must provide us with your production report in order for us to charge you a patent fee. ”
"No no No . This is not a production report. It's a sales report. ”Kameda Masao reply. There is a big difference between those 2 reports.
"Good . Sales report . I agree with this. 3 years, 3 million USD to be transferred to me within 1 week. Any problem? ”Feng Yu looks impatient, but he has already tied Kameda up with a patent payment for 3 years.
Kameda Masao remained silent and said nothing for a long time.
"Mr . Feng Yu, I need to discuss with my Chairman. I'll come back to you the day after tomorrow. ”
"Tomorrow. If you can't give me an answer tomorrow, then there's no need to discuss anymore! '' Feng Yu replied firmly.
"Tomorrow. If you can't give me an answer tomorrow, then there's no need to discuss anymore! '' Feng Yu replied firmly.
After Kameda left, Feng Yu jumped up happily. Although the patent fee is lowered from 30 USD to 10 USD, the payment method is changed to a 3-year advanced payment based on the estimated sales.
With this USD 3 million fund and Tai Hua Trading, Feng Yu could actually make a killing in the stock market within the next year. The advantage will be much higher than electric fans and humidifiers!
The next day Kameda returned to Tai Hua Trading. However, they do not approve 3-year down payment. They want exclusive authorization rights for patents for the Japanese market of 5 million USD. This means that Tai Hua trade will not be allowed to authorize other Japanese companies and export the humidifier to Japan. They want to order their own Japanese market!
Their chairman has taken out a loan from the bank for this patented technology. He felt that this would be more beneficial than the continued payment for 3 years and still pay the patent fees for the remaining years.
5 Million USD? Feng Yu hesitated for a while and agreed. It seemed that Feng Yu was making a loss, but Feng Yu knew that the Wind and Rain humidifiers would definitely develop new technology in 5 years. When that happened, the technology in Black Dragon Co. would be outdated, and Feng Yu could sell them the latest technology again.
Moreover, the Japanese market for moisturizers was very small, and Feng Yu did not feel sorry for losing the market. It was more practical for him to take 5 million USD. He could turn this 5 million USD into 10 million USD in a year!
