Chapter 499: Chapter 501 Negotiating Cooperation

Solth-Mos continued, “Sol is right, lifting the warrant isn’t an easy task.

Apart from a few of us putting in effort together, no one else can manage it.”

Lambert Onassis said, “Mr. Qin should understand the strength and influence of our families behind us. Our companies are involved in various industries and our channels are spread across the globe.

Cooperating with us is the best choice for Qin Hao, mutually beneficial and win-win, why would Mr. Qin not be willing?”

Silin Ross added, “Exactly, with our protection, even if someone wants to block it, they won’t be able to.

Mr. Qin should be aware that there is currently some economic friction between Xuan Country and the Beihai Federation. If the friction intensifies, it wouldn’t be good for the people of Xuan Country, don’t you think, Mr. Qin?”

...

Each of the four spoke in turn, employing their strategy quite adeptly, and the implications of Silin Ross’s words were very clear.

They could control whether the friction expanded or contracted, and it all depended on them.

About Xinghai High-tech Company, the four of them had reached a consensus on their way here, and they would present a united front on this matter.

Qin Hao’s expression was placid, with no trace of a smile, “You should know how many shares I still hold.”

“To ensure absolute decision-making power in the company, I won’t be selling any more of my shares. If you want them, you can talk to the other shareholders. Whether they sell or not is none of my concern.”

Silin Roy continued, “We know the shareholders of Xinghai Company, Mr. Qin holds fifty-nine percent. Even if he were to give up forty percent, Mr. Qin would still be the majority shareholder.”

Qin Hao responded, “Let’s not discuss this topic further. I’m not selling the shares.”

Silin Ross continued, “Mr. Qin, we could ask for fewer shares, maybe just five percent each.”

Qin Hao still shook his head, “If you are here for the shares, Miss Silin, I think there’s no point in continuing this discussion.”

Silin Roy’s piercing blue eyes watched Qin Hao; her beautiful eyes seemed to have the power to see right through someone.

The atmosphere in the conference room grew tense, and no one spoke.

About ten seconds later, Silin spoke, “So what does Mr. Qin propose for our cooperation? What’s your sincerity?”

Qin Hao said, “I hadn’t even considered cooperating with you.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four slightly changed. Qin Hao continued, “After all, Xinghai Company has just been established and its production levels can’t even meet the demands of a domestic phone company, discussing this now is too early.”

Sol Robert suggested, “That’s not a problem, we can purchase your technology patents and then invest in building factories.”

“Purchase technology patents? What does that mean?” Qin Hao was momentarily perplexed.

Silin clarified, “Mr. Qin, aren’t you aware of purchasing technology patents? Simply put, we give you money to buy your patents, which are time-bound. After the period expires, like one or two years, they can no longer be used.”

“That sounds quite good,” Qin Hao remarked.

Chang Jing, feeling anxious, thought to herself that agreeing to this would be like handing over the technology to them.

A year later, though they would officially stop using it, they could still produce it secretly. International patent law is almost useless against these powerful families.

Faced with huge profits, they wouldn’t care about such laws.

Sol and others were internally pleased but did not show it, “Mr. Qin, please consider it carefully. We will also prepare a detailed proposal.”

Qin Hao nodded, “When can the warrant be lifted?”

Silin Ross replied, “Once Mr. Qin and we finalize our cooperation, we will help facilitate this when we return.”

Qin Hao concluded, “Alright, let’s leave it at that for today. You all go back and prepare a good proposal. If it works out, we’ll cooperate.”

The four of them stood up, shook hands with Qin Hao, and then left.

Qin Hao escorted them to the factory entrance. Silin Ross smiled and said, “Mr. Qin, I hope our cooperation will be very pleasant.”

“Goodbye, Mr. Qin,” smiled Lambert Onassis.

The other two also greeted him and then drove away.

The negotiation was far from over, it had just begun. Such large-scale cooperation involved many aspects, and it wouldn’t be possible to negotiate everything in just a day or two.

It could only be said that it started well, but what happens next remains to be seen.

“Interesting, isn’t it?” Qin Hao, with a smile on his face, looked at two cards in his hand.

These two cards had been slipped into his hand by Lambert Onassis and Silin Ross during the handshake, unknown to the others.

Chang Jing, startled, asked, “Are you really planning to sell the technology patents to them?”

Qin Hao clarified, “Not sell, cooperate. If they produce smart chips, they can only buy lithography machines from us.

Smart mainboards need smart programs, and they can only come to us for those. We could send some robots there to help input the programs, so there’s no need to worry about the core technology being stolen.”

Chang Jing’s eyes lit up; she hadn’t thought of this initially.

Qin Hao memorized the numbers on the cards and then tossed them into the trash.

“Today is the fifth, right?” Qin Hao asked as he walked.

Chang Jing nodded, “Yes, the earthquake in Beihai Country will occur after midnight on the sixth. There was also an earthquake there years ago, and it was magnitude nine, but it was far away. This time it’s close.”

Qin Hao nodded, “After this earthquake, our seismographs should sell well.”

Qin Hao stayed at Xinghai High-tech Company for the afternoon, contemplating his next move.

The recent Federation warrant had been a good lesson for him. He planned to venture into the internet industry, first by establishing a new worldwide network, free from the Federation’s influence.

The most important point was also to lay the groundwork for smart robots and air energy cars.

Smart robots can connect to the internet. He didn’t trust other people’s networks, which was why they hadn’t been connected so far.

Those people could capture data through backend servers. If they manipulated the smart robots through the network, it wasn’t safe; they could potentially be remotely controlled by others.

As future high-tech vehicles, air energy cars required networking capabilities in many areas.

Using the opponent’s network would be like handing over control to them. If they cut off your network, you’d be stuck.”

Even today, the discussion about tomorrow’s earthquake in Beihai Country was rampant online, but 80-90% of people simply didn’t believe it.

In many people’s view, only announcements from Xuan Country’s earthquake department carried authority and credibility. Even many people in Xuan Country didn’t believe it, let alone those in Beihai Country.

They went about their activities as usual, their lives unchanged, and the officials had taken no measures.
