#211 - Chapter 211: Auction, crazy transaction price! Book funds 400 billion!
It began!
Representatives from various groups and consortia were eager to start.
Every family needs a television.
Unlike the SP4, LCD TVs undoubtedly have a larger and wider audience.
The assistant distributed the contract templates.
"Wait!"
James, the representative from Kroger, frowned slightly: "This contract is not right! Why does it say '42-inch LCD TV patent and technology transfer'? Does this mean that this contract is limited to 42-inch LCD TVs?"
Their goal was more than just 42-inch LCD TVs.
Once they obtained the technical data, they would definitely invest further in research and development.
Larger sizes!
More advanced!
But...
This contract limits the patent and technology to the scope of 42 inches.
"42-inch LCD TVs are our current limit."
Chen Hao had already prepared his explanation.
He shrugged, looking helpless: "Our side has only developed 42-inch TVs, so naturally, we can only transfer the 42-inch technology—do you expect me to transfer technology that I haven't even developed myself?"
"But..." Someone tried to question.
"There's another reason."
Chen Hao didn't give him a chance to speak: "The LCD screen is one of the core technologies, and I can only transfer the 42-inch technology."
"Because the SP4 also uses LCD screen technology!"
John's expression froze.
He immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "That's right! Our SP4 also uses LCD screen technology. It's impossible to say that if you win the LCD TV technology, the LCD screen will belong to him—we obtained the SP4 first!"
Chen Hao's so-called technology transfer can only be limited to 42-inch LCD TVs.
Furthermore.
If he produces larger-sized LCD TVs, and some of the components are the same, it wouldn't be considered a patent infringement.
Because the contract is for '42-inch LCD TV patent and technology transfer'.
"Does anyone have any other questions?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"..."
No one spoke.
Everyone had similar thoughts.
Whether it's the SP4 or LCD TVs, they both use LCD screen technology.
What does this indicate?
LCD screen technology will inevitably be applied in countless fields in the future and is very important.
The problem is that this technology is in Chen Hao's hands.
Including the Morgan Consortium, although they own the SP4 patent technology, which also includes LCD screens, but...
How big is the SP4?
Large LCD screen technology is much more complex.
Only by obtaining LCD TV technology can they further develop LCD screens.
Larger ones!
More advanced ones!
Ultimately, they can occupy the technological high ground in this field.
In other words.
This is no longer a simple competition for LCD TVs, but a higher-level competition—LCD screen technology!
The future application scenarios of this technology are far more than just TVs!
...
"Since there are no objections, let's begin."
Chen Hao said directly: "The starting price for the 42-inch LCD TV patent and technology transfer is 10 billion US dollars."
"11 billion US dollars!" John immediately spoke.
In fact.
The Morgan Consortium has already formed a team to conduct deeper research and development on some of the SP4's technologies.
Among them, the LCD screen is the core!
His idea is very simple.
Today, they must win the LCD TV technology to monopolize the LCD screen technology!
Do other consortia want to develop it?
Start from scratch!
"12 billion US dollars!"
"13 billion US dollars!"
Several top consortia and families successively made bids.
After that conversation earlier, they realized that LCD screen technology will be applied in many fields in the future.
Its value...
Is far more than just LCD TVs.
When LCD screen technology is elevated, it means that today's bidding...
Will inevitably be very fierce!
"21 billion US dollars!"
"21.5 billion US dollars!"
The Morgan Consortium.
The Rockefeller Consortium.
The Abu Dhabi Family.
The Tothschild Family.
For a time, several forces from Europe and the United States were engaged in fierce bidding.
"35 billion US dollars!"
Suddenly!
John shouted loudly, his face flushed.
The scene was silent.
Before him, the Abu Dhabi Family's bid was only 26 billion US dollars.
He increased it by 9 billion at once!
He's gone crazy!
Everyone knew that the Morgan Consortium had already won the SP4, and the only way to prevent LCD screen technology from falling into the hands of other parties was to... also win the LCD TV patent technology!
This led to the Morgan Consortium's desire for LCD TVs far exceeding that of other parties.
Once 35 billion US dollars was offered, no one immediately raised the price.
This price...
Is ridiculously high!
"I announce."
Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Chen Hao stood up and smiled: "The Morgan Consortium has won the 42-inch LCD TV technology patent—Mr. John, congratulations!"
"Haha... Mr. Chen, thank you!" John's face was full of excitement.
They won!
The family will definitely give him a great credit!
The key is that all parties realize that LCD screens will have a great impact in many fields in the future.
What he photographed was more than just a TV?
It is also the future!
"General Xia, you are responsible for signing the contract."
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute!"
John flipped through the contract template and suddenly found a problem: "Mr. Chen, this clause... all existing orders for 42-inch LCD TVs must be cooperated with for delivery by our party—what does this mean?"
"It's the same as the SP4."
Chen Hao shrugged.
"This..."
"Okay!"
Chen Hao took a deep breath: "There are over 20 million global orders. If Mr. John feels that he is losing out, he can give up the bidding results."
"Gentlemen, is anyone interested? I don't mind re-auctioning it."
All parties immediately became excited.
There is still a chance!
"No, no, no!"
John was startled and hurriedly shook his head: "I am willing to accept this clause!"
Is he losing out?
Indeed!
Now that things have come to this, even if he is stupid, he understands that Chen Hao has secretly signed many orders in the past week.
But... can he give up the bidding results?
Firstly.
Although Chen Hao signed a large number of orders, the future potential of LCD TVs will definitely be in the hundreds of millions—hundreds of millions per year!
What about five years?
What about ten years?
As long as the delivery is completed, the Morgan Consortium will make a fortune from the 20 million units signed by Chen Hao.
It's the same principle as the SP4.
Secondly.
LCD screen technology must be obtained!
...
The parties dispersed.
Once again.
The technology patent was snatched by the Morgan Consortium.
John felt cheated, but the result was still within an acceptable range. After all, he won the LCD TV technology and happily went to sign the contract.
Xia Qingyan was even happier!
Chen Hao had just taken away 100 billion.
What about now?
35 billion US dollars!
Equivalent to nearly 290 billion Chinese yuan!
It's an astronomical figure!
With the signing of this agreement, and with this money transferred, the group's liquid funds will reach...
Over 400 billion!
This is after Chen Hao took away 100 billion.
Of course.
According to the contract terms, before the Morgan Consortium establishes an LCD TV production factory, Chuangshiji will代工 at cost price.
No profit?
But it can maintain the operation of major factories.
After all, although the cost price does not make money, it includes salary expenses.
On the other side.
Chen Hao left the conference room and immediately went straight to Chuangshiji.
The talents poached from major universities have successively completed the handover of their work.
Academician Huang has also arrived.
The third round of research and development is imminent!
