"Mr. Jia, it's me. I'm Ichiro Honda!" What Hao Yongtong didn't know was that after he sent Ichiro Honda to the hotel to rest, Ichiro Honda directly picked up the phone in the hotel and recalled the Daqian Group's phone number that Hao Yongtong had just given him. He directly dialed it and successfully contacted Jia Yapeng again.
"Mr. Honda, have you thought it through?" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.
"Hey!" Ichiro Honda responded. "Mr. Jia, there was a misunderstanding between us last year. I think the proposal you proposed last year is quite good. We, the Honda Group, are willing to sign this agreement for 400 million yen for three years. If you have time, we can find an opportunity to sit down and talk at any time, and then sign the contract directly! " Hao Yongtong never thought that Ichiro Honda, who was just in the office with him discussing how to deal with the Daqian Group, would betray him in the next second and call Jia Yapeng to discuss the cooperation with the Daqian Group.
After all, when Wanfu and Tamiya signed the contract, although it was an exclusive agency contract, there was a supplementary clause. That was, if Wanfu Group didn't reach the designated annual purchase quota of 100 million yen, then Tamiya Group could terminate the contract at any time.
Therefore, Ichiro Honda didn't have the slightest resistance to changing to a new agent.
"Oh!" Jia Yapeng on the other end of the phone responded with an "Oh", and then said faintly, "Mr. Honda, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate!"
"Why is it inappropriate? Didn't you come up with this proposal yourself?" Ichiro Honda was anxious.
"Of course it's inappropriate!" Jia Yapeng laughed. "When we talked last year, the exchange rate between the yen and the US dollar was still about 200 yen per US dollar. 400 million yen is equivalent to 10 million yuan."
"But now, the yen has appreciated to 140 yen per US dollar, which is equivalent to 16 million yuan. My cost has increased by 6 million. Of course, this is different!"
"And according to my estimation, the yen's exchange rate will continue to rise in the future. My cost will also increase in a straight line. Of course, this is inappropriate!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.
When it came to the yen's exchange rate, it was an eternal pain in the hearts of Ichiro Honda and the other Fusangpeople. For Fusangpeople, 90 years was a year that they would never forget.
Because in that year, the bubble economy of Fusang was completely punctured, and the Fusang economy began a 10-year long avalanche. more than half of the Fusangpeople's Fusang went bankrupt, more than half of the Fusang's companies went bankrupt.
The ten years from 1990 to 2000 were collectively referred to as the Vanishing Decade by the later generations of Fusang people. It meant that Fusang's economy had completely disappeared during these ten years. There was no growth, only an endless decline. Fusang people lived in a life with a serious economic decline.
Interestingly enough, in the world, the more the currency depreciates, the better the economy. If the yen appreciated too quickly, it would be over.
For example, the yen's economy had collapsed, but the yen's exchange rate against the US dollar was still appreciating. This made the Fusangpeople feel like their heads were about to explode.
If not for this, Ichiro Honda would not be so anxious about the Hua Xia market. Tamiya was also in a situation where the economy was about to collapse. They urgently needed blood from the external market. If they could take over the Hua Xia market, Tamiya would be able to survive. Otherwise, they would face the risk of bankruptcy.
Therefore, after hearing Jia Yapeng's words, Ichiro Honda did not refute. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Well, 300 million yen over three years. That should make up for your loss in the appreciation of the yen, right?"
"That's not how it's calculated!" Jia Yapeng shook his head. "My 400 million yen not only included the patent license for the mini 4WD, but also the relevant model of the mini 4WD produced by your factory, all the technical guidance, the support of various accessories, and the copyright of the animation" The 4WD Kid. "All of these together are only 400 million yen!"
"But now that I have the mature manufacturing technology for mini 4WD, these are not important to me. I don't need any help from the Tamiya Group. The mini 4WD is already selling like hotcakes. Why should I spend money on these things? My money doesn't fall from the sky. "Jia Yapeng laughed.
"Then what do you mean by that?" Ichiro Honda's face turned red. He scolded, "Don't forget that the patent for the mini 4WD belongs to us. You just took advantage of a loophole in Hua Xia's law. In essence, without the permission of the Tamiya Group, you are a despicable plagiarist!"
Ichiro Honda thought that Jia Yapeng would quibble, but he didn't expect Jia Yapeng to admit it so straightforwardly. "I know, and I don't deny it!"
"My actions are indeed plagiarism, and I know it's not good. But Mr. Honda Ichiro, don't forget that it's not that I didn't want to get your permission. I specifically came to the fishing village to talk to you, but you rejected me. I didn't mean to plagiarize, but you didn't give me the chance to copy the original!" Jia Yapeng said lightly.
"…" Ichiro Honda was speechless.
"Of course, plagiarism is wrong. It's wrong. Even if I used a loophole in the law to cover the legal risks, my conscience still feels uneasy!"
"So, I have two solutions. I wonder if Honda Ichiro would be willing to listen to them?" Jia Yapeng sighed.
"Say it!" Ichiro Honda suddenly felt that Jia Yapeng was a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"For the first solution, I can pay the Tamiya Group 20 million yen a year as compensation until 2002, when your world patent expires. However, this compensation will not be given to you in the name of patent compensation. It can be regarded as a business information fee. In addition, as long as the Tamiya Group is willing, you can continue to sell Tamiya mini 4WD vehicles in Hua Xia. The Daqian Group will never use the patent to sue you. We applied for this patent just to protect ourselves! "
Jia Yapeng said sincerely. Jia Yapeng still felt uneasy about plagiarizing other people's things, so Jia Yapeng decided to spend money to buy peace of mind. 20 million yen was equivalent to 800,000 yuan. This amount of money was nothing to Jia Yapeng.
"20 million yen is too little!" Ichiro Honda hesitated, then said, "It has to be at least 80 million yen!"
"Then let's hear the second solution!" Jia Yapeng smiled and said, "That is, the Tamiya Group will completely give up the mini 4WD vehicle business. They will package the global patent of mini 4WD vehicles, related molds, and so on, and sell everything related to mini 4WD vehicles to me. The specific price is negotiable, and I guarantee that the price will be fair. Mr. Honda Honda, what do you think?"
In fact, Jia Yapeng was really envious of Tamiya's global patent of mini 4WD vehicles!
Tamiya was guarding the gold and silver mines, but the mini 4WD vehicle's global market sales were terrible. If it were Jia Yapeng, he would have no problem selling 1 billion mini 4WD vehicles in the global market.
However, Jia Yapeng's neck was firmly gripped by Tamiya's patent. Jia Yapeng could sell mini 4WD vehicles in China, but if he went out, he would be beaten up by Tamiya. Therefore, Jia Yapeng sincerely wanted to buy all the mini 4WD related patents of the Tamiya Group.
"Baka!" However, Ichiro Honda was completely angry. He realized that Jia Yapeng was not only greedy for money, he was also a bold and ambitious guy. He actually wanted to completely swallow the mini 4WD vehicles of the Tamiya Group. How dare he!
We are a Fusang company, how can we let a poor Hua Xia guy buy our patents? This is absolutely impossible!
"Mr. Honda Honda Honda, please consider it carefully. I am willing to talk to you at any time. However, there is one thing that I don't want Tamiya and our Daqian to have any hostile actions. Otherwise, these two conditions will no longer exist! "Jia Yapeng finished speaking and hung up the phone.
At this moment, Ichiro Honda completely gave up on the idea of talking to Jia Yapeng. He was completely determined to let Tamiya's mini 4WD vehicles occupy the high-end market of Hua Xia. He wanted Jia Yapeng and his Daqian to sell his mini 4WD vehicles for the rest of their lives and earn the money of those poor people. They were the high and mighty rich people holding wine glasses!
However, there was a problem. Just like what Hao Yongtong had asked him before, it was easy to set a high price for mini 4WD vehicles, but if the consumers didn't buy it, then it would be useless. Moreover, Hua Xia was so poor now. It was really difficult to let Hua Xia people accept a 100 4WD vehicle.
Ichiro Honda thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a good idea, so he decided to walk a few rounds to see if he could get any inspiration.
However, what made Ichiro Honda upset was that when he went out, he saw that many of the children were happily playing and competing with Daqian mini 4WD vehicles. There was nothing more torturous than this. Ichiro Honda was so angry that he wanted to go back directly.
However, when Ichiro Honda passed by another school gate, he saw a group of children competing with mini 4WD vehicles. After one of the children won, he said proudly, "My mini 4WD vehicle was bought by my father from Hong Kong. Of course, my mini 4WD vehicle is the fastest among all the mini 4WD vehicles from Fusang!"
"Wow!" Many of the children around showed an envious expression.
"I got it!!" Ichiro Honda's eyes suddenly lit up. He had an idea.
— — —
"Mr. Honda Honda Honda? Do you have any urgent matters? " Seeing Ichiro Honda rushing over in a hurry, Hao Yongtong, who was about to get off work, asked in surprise.
"Hao San, I have found a way to deal with the Daqian Group. We can easily establish our high-end image in Hua Xia!!" Ichiro Honda was so excited that his nostrils flared up like a Spanish bull.
"What is it?" Hao Yongtong's eyes also lit up.
"That is a competition. We will have a public competition with Jia Yapeng!" Ichiro Honda panted and said, "We will use our mini 4WD vehicles to compete with the mini 4WD vehicles of the Daqian Group. We will have a live TV broadcast. As long as we easily defeat the mini 4WD vehicles of the Daqian Group on TV and leave them far behind, all the children will see this scene live on TV. Then, our mini 4WD vehicles will become the strongest mini 4WD vehicles in Hua Xia. Then, the children will know who is the real king of this industry!!"
