Liu Chuanzhi will not let Feng Yu wait for too long. In fact, he also does not want to wait. The earlier Feng Yu invests, the easier it will be for Lenovo to get listed, and the higher their share prices will be.
If a listed company wants their share prices to rise, they must come up with a good development plan. If they do not have money, how can they prepare a good development plan?
Although Lenovo will be listed in Hong Kong, their main businesses in Hong Kong are servers and PC products. If Lenovo announced that they had mastered the advanced CD-ROM technology, then it will prove that their PC business will be upgraded. Their profits will be high, and their share prices will rise.
After Liu Chuanzhi reported to the leaders, the leaders immediately held a meeting to discuss the results. They agreed to Feng Yu using cash and technologies to invest in Lenovo. But Liu Chuanzhi must be careful about the value of the technologies.
Since the leaders had agreed, Liu Chuanzhi discussed with the rest of the technical staff and estimated the value of the CD-ROM. After that, he called Feng Yu over.
"General Manager Feng, the major shareholder had agreed to let you use your cash and technologies to invest in Lenovo. Let's talk about the CD-ROM technology. How much is it worth? "Liu Chuanzhi said impatiently.
"Manager Liu, how much do you think the most advanced CD-ROM technology is worth?" Feng Yu asked.
Actually, this technology was not worth much to Feng Yu. This was because Aiwa had not spent a long time to develop this technology. Aiwa already had the CD and VCD technologies, and they did not invest a lot in developing this technology. Feng Yu had only spent a small amount of money to buy this technology from Aiwa.
"1 million?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.
"1 million USD? At least 5 million USD! "Feng Yu purposely said.
"General Manager Feng, I am talking about RMB!" Liu Chuanzhi shouted.
We had been negotiating in RMB. You really don't know about this, or are you pretending not to know? Even if we buy the authorization for this CD-ROM technology, how much will it cost? 5 million USD? Why don't you just rob a bank?
“RMB？ One million RMB? I don't see any sincerity from Boss Liu. This technology is very important to Lenovo's PC business. Do you still need me to remind you? Mass storage is the trend of PC development. Can you deny this? Only a few companies in the world have the second-generation optical drive technology. Do you think the big companies in Europe and the US will authorize it to you? Even if it's authorized, will the price be cheap? "Feng Yu sneered.
Although Feng Yu did not spend a lot to buy this technology, it was still 200,000 USD, or about 1.1 million RMB. Even if he does not make money, he should not lose money. If Lenovo were to develop this technology themselves, they would need at least 5 million RMB!
"General Manager Feng, this technology is being updated too quickly, so the value is naturally discounted. But even if our valuation is slightly lower, this technology is not worth 1 million USD, let alone 5 million USD! "Liu Chuanzhi was also a little unhappy. You are asking for too much.
"This technology might not be worth 5 million USD. But to Lenovo, this technology is worth this price! With this technology, Lenovo will be able to introduce more high-end PCs. A PC with an optical drive will be more expensive than a floppy drive. The profits from this will also be higher. "
Feng Yu was not joking. This new technology will give people the feeling that it is more high-tech, and the storage is a few hundred times more than a floppy drive. It is very suitable for transferring large files. Most of the people who are buying PCs now are banks, government agencies, etc. There are a lot of files, and floppy drives are not enough.
With an optical drive, Lenovo will be able to enter the market. This is very important. Furthermore, with an optical drive, the profits will be higher.
"General Manager Feng, this is only what you said. Can you show me the data to prove that what you said is true?" Liu Chuanzhi will not agree to this. This price is too different from what he expected!
"You want the data? Then I will show you the data. This is the production cost of the optical drive. This is the price difference between a PC with an optical drive and a PC without an optical drive. This should be enough to show the profits from the optical drive. This is the sales figures for the PC with optical drive in Hong Kong. From this figure, it is not hard to tell the market demand for the PC with optical drive. As our files continue to increase, who will be willing to use those small floppy drives? Furthermore, the optical drive can store videos. Can a floppy drive do it? It will take a lot of effort to store even one song. "
Feng Yu had done market research and spent some money on Hong Kong's PC market. This was also the reason why he asked for a high price.
"This is only the statistics for Hong Kong. It does not represent anything. Our biggest market now is China. China is very different from Hong Kong. "Liu Chuanzhi insisted.
"Manager Liu, you should know how much this technology is worth. But I am not going to discuss this further. If Lenovo is willing to let me invest more shares, I will give this technology to Lenovo for free! "Feng Yu smiled.
Feng Yu wants to use this technology to entice Liu Chuanzhi. What he really wants is to get more shares of Lenovo. Even if he cannot become the biggest shareholder, he can still be the second biggest shareholder.
Liu Chuanzhi looked at Feng Yu. What is Feng Yu trying to do? How much does he want to invest in Lenovo? He can even give away the CD-ROM technology for free? Feng Yu wants to be the controlling shareholder?
"General Manager Feng kept saying that he wants to invest more. How much do you want to invest and how many shares do you want?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.
"Manager Liu, don't you think the shares you are holding in Lenovo are too little? Lenovo can become what it is today is all because of the hard work of the entrepreneurs. Do you know how many shares my engineers can get in my company? Old Jiang, Jiang Wanmeng, I gave him 4% more shares. Aiwa Pagers, those engineers, I did not invest a single cent, and I gave them 10% shares. Also, do you know how much their salaries are? 10,000 RMB a month! "
Hmmm … only the Chairman gets 10,000 RMB a month. The rest of the engineers are not so high. Some of the engineers are only getting 200 RMB a month. Feng Yu purposely did not make it too clear. He wants Liu Chuanzhi to misunderstand and disrupt Liu Chuanzhi's thoughts.
Liu Chuanzhi was shocked when he saw Feng Yu pointing at him. What? General Manager Feng is giving his engineers such high shares?! Old Jiang and the rest are getting shares and are getting 10,000 RMB a month!
Although Liu Chuanzhi had graduated from the research center and joined Lenovo, his monthly salary was only slightly more than 1,000 RMB. This was still based on Hong Kong's standards. If it was based on China's standards, his monthly salary would not be more than 300 RMB!
The salary gap was ten times, and the share gap was also several times. This made Liu Chuanzhi's heart tremble. He couldn't help but think of the complaints of the other brothers who had started the business with him. They all felt that the shares given to them by the Chinese Academy of Sciences were too little. Initially, he wanted to persuade those people. But now, he also wanted to talk to the leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and ask if the shares given were too little!
Wait. What does Feng Yu mean by this? Could it be that after he enters Lenovo, he will give us more shares? He wants to be the controlling shareholder?!
