I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 152 Small hard disk technology (for subscription)
He took a rest in the office at noon, and went to work in the afternoon. When the afternoon get off work was almost over, Yang Guanbin entered the office.

"Boss Lin, I've had contact with Dongzhi."

After Yang Guanbin finished speaking, Lin Xiao immediately raised his head and asked, "How is it?"

Because of the U disk cooperation, the communication between Eternal Technology and Dongzhi is quite convenient.

After hearing Lin Xiao's question, Yang Guanbin shook his head and said, "They haven't developed such a small hard drive yet, and there are no related projects doing research on it."

Lin Xiao wasn't too surprised. In his previous life, when he read the report on the iPod, they found Dongzhi's hard drive at the end. It was probably in the middle of 2001. Now he moved two years ahead of schedule. Dongzhi didn't have it. It's normal to be developing this project.

At this time, Yang Guanbinbin said immediately: "However, after some communication, they believe that the research and development of this project is feasible. If our company is willing to pay the relevant research and development expenses, they are willing to develop it."

"What's the quotation from Dongzhi?" Lin Xiao asked directly.

"It's a bit high." Yang Guanbin replied, "They said it was 500 million yuan."

"500 million yuan?" Lin Xiao was full of doubts when he heard this. In the previous life, Apple bought this technology, and it cost 1000 million yuan in the impression.

It stands to reason that Dongzhi should not be cut in half in price, so there must be something different in the middle.

Either Dongzhi did not expect the development cost of this small hard drive at this time, but this should be unlikely. The reason why it was sold to Apple for 1000 million yuan was of course not because of the development cost, but because Dongzhi still made money. With a lot of money, it doesn't make sense for the other party to show such kindness to me.

Since this is the case, it is another possibility that the technology that Dongzhi will give to himself will be different from what he gave to Apple in the previous life.

This question is very critical.

Lin Xiao tried hard to recall the process of Apple's acquisition of this technology in the previous life.

In the previous life, in 2001, Apple wanted to develop a new MP3 music player. The biggest challenge they faced at that time was to find a hard disk with small enough size but large storage space.

Then, a senior executive accidentally discovered that such a project in Tozhi, Japan, had been basically successfully researched, so they bought this technology for 1000 million yuan.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly realized one of the key points, and immediately asked Yang Guanbin: "Senior Brother Yang, Dongzhi asks for 500 million yuan. Does the ownership of this technology belong to Dongzhi or to us?"

"Return to Dongzhi, but the people from Dongzhi promised that if this technology is successfully developed, the products they produce will only be supplied to our family." Yang Guanbin replied.

After hearing this, Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "This may not be safe. If they make products of different types based on this technology, it is entirely possible to sell them to other companies."

"How about it, Senior Brother Yang, you go to the island country to negotiate with them. I am willing to pay up to 1000 million yuan for this technology, but there are two prerequisites."

"First, after the successful research and development, the ownership of the small hard disk technology belongs to us, and Dongzhi no longer belongs to Dongzhi. Without our authorization, Dongzhi cannot use this technology to produce small hard disks."

"Second, we pay 300 million yuan for research and development in the early stage. Dongzhi must complete the research and development within six months. After the technology research and development is successful, we will pay the remaining money in one lump sum."

The reason why he proposed this is because Lin Xiao was really worried that Dongzhi would take advantage of this technology to supply others, such as Apple.

As for the second point, this is also a routine operation. If you call Dongzhi 1000 million now, it is not up to you when the other party develops it.

And with this 300 million yuan, Lin Xiao believes that the initial research and development in the early stage is enough, and Dongzhi should agree.

Although I still have some money in my hand, I can't use it all at once, and there are other uses.

As for the research and development of the other party in six months, I should also sell the shares of China.com in my hand. By then, the funds will be sufficient, and the remaining 700 million yuan will not be a problem.

Although there are tens of millions, it seems that the money is still a bit small!
Knowing that Lin Xiao attached great importance to this matter, Yang Guanbin immediately responded and said, "Okay, I will make some arrangements for the company, and then I will be ready to go to the island country and the United States in the near future."

After saying that, Yang Guanbin went out.

Lin Xiao also took advantage of this time to go downstairs. At Lin Xiao's request, the decoration company acted very quickly. The relevant matters were finalized in the morning and entered the venue in the afternoon.

Yang Guanbin flew to the island country the next afternoon to negotiate face-to-face with Dongzhi. In this regard, he has a lot of experience, and Lin Xiao is also very relieved.

Sure enough, by the afternoon of the third day, good news came from Yang Guanbin.

Dongzhi agreed to cooperate with Eternal Technology to develop small hard disk technology. The two parties agreed that Dongzhi would develop a hard disk with a capacity of more than 5G and a size of less than 2 inches within half a year.

For this reason, Eternal Technology must pay Dongzhi's related research and development costs plus technology transfer costs of 1000 million yuan.

At that time, Eternal Technology will obtain the ownership of this technology, which also means that although this technology was developed by Dongzhi, it will eventually be owned by Eternal Technology.

Although the time was one or two years earlier, Dongzhi has such strength after all, and the other party has also demonstrated the feasibility of the project, so in Lin Xiao's view, this technology is basically a certainty.

After all, hard disk technology is not chip technology, and chip technology may have a great impact two years in advance. For example, it is not so easy for Dongzhi to develop a larger-capacity flash memory chip now, and hard disk technology has been relatively more mature after so many years of development. .

Once the small hard disk technology is settled, the next step is to settle the human affairs.

So Yang Guanbin stayed in the island country for a while, and then flew to the United States.

Of course, the two parties also did not forget to communicate about some cooperation on the USB flash drive. After all, the two companies have established a relatively in-depth cooperative relationship through the USB flash drive.

Even if Yang Guanbin went to the United States this time, he was not just looking for someone. He also needed to communicate with several major computer OEMs, connect with Best Buy and Amazon, and so on.

But in Yanjing, since both the production and sales of USB flash drives have entered a relatively stable period, there are not many things on the side of Eternal Technology.

So in the past few days, Lin Xiao has been staring at the decoration of the downstairs. At first, Lin Xiao was still thinking about whether to take advantage of this time to arrange related office purchases, etc., but after thinking about it, Lin Xiao Still gave up this plan.

In a day or two, Chen Tianqiao will come to Yanjing. The other party resigned from the securities company and came with an entrepreneurial attitude and drive. If this is the case, then let the other party find the feeling of starting from scratch.

After Chen Tianqiao arrived, Eternal Network was officially established, and he really started to enter the Internet industry on a large scale!
