No equity.
Scientific research results cannot be shared.
Is this still called cooperation?
No, this is to get the support of Huawei for free! It is true that Ren Zhenfei is indeed concerned about the development of national science and technology.
But this doesn't mean that he is willing to be that kind of "sucker"!
But even though he was angry, Ren Zhenfei knew that the other party would not be so superficial as to really want to get a free ride...
"Mr. Ye, forgive me for being blunt, since you are against equity dilution and unwilling to share scientific research results, what can you give us? Although there is a saying that people who ask for a high price will pay back the low price, but you are... a little too much?"
"Mr. Ren, if the two sides can really cooperate, then what I can give to Warwick is the priority, priority and priority of supply rights. In other words, that is to ensure that Warwick's basic needs are met before supplying to the outside world, and the price given to Warwick will also be the lowest price for external sales, no doubt about it!" Ye Chen said seriously.
"That's it?" Ren Zhenfei frowned.
"Yes, this is what I can give!" Ye Chen said.
Ren Zhenfei said nothing, but his old face was trembling with the urge to curse.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, I just want to ask you a question. If your Huawei's scientific research laboratory really successfully develops advanced results, would you be willing to share them with your partners? This is definitely impossible. After all, I believe you know the importance of scientific research results better than anyone else!"
"But Mr. Ye, don't forget that based on the cooperation, Huawei is the one that provides you with in-depth support!" Ren Zhenfei said in a deep voice.
"If there is no so-called support, I would not have proposed to give priority to Huawei! Also, it is Huawei that wants to cooperate with me, not us begging to cooperate with Huawei. You must bear this in mind! To be arrogant, cooperation with Huawei was not originally in my plan. At the same time, I firmly believe that even without Huawei, the development of Tamron Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company can be as I expected! Therefore, compared to reaching a cooperation with Huawei, we are simply just saving a year or two!"
Ye Chen said in a stern voice, "Therefore, let's change our way of thinking about the cooperation between the two parties. If it were you, Mr. Ren, in order to save a year or two, would you be willing to give up part of your company's equity or share the research results?"
"Does this mean that Mr. Ye doesn't care about Huawei's support in terms of talent, technology, patents, etc.?
Feeling as if he was being led by the nose, Ren Zhenfei asked again.
"How should I put it? If Warwick is just trying to build momentum for Tamron Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company in the name of cooperation, then I don't think I would have offered such conditions! So when I mentioned giving priority to supplying Warwick at the lowest price, it means that Warwick's support of talents, technology, patents, etc. is taken into account!" Ye Chen said calmly.
"Mr. Ye, are you asking for too much? Does this mean that the support from Huawei is only worthy of the priority of low-price supply?" Ren Zhenfei's face began to look gradually ugly.
Little did he know that Ye Chen shook his head slightly.
After a moment of thought, he said, "Mr. Ren, I think you need to clarify the background of our cooperation first! If, if Huawei can break the deadlock in semiconductor demand, will you still consider cooperating with us? Undoubtedly, this is not the case! So you are betting on Tenglong Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company to help you break the demand deadlock, so you have the idea of cooperation. Based on this, I offer the condition of supplying with the highest priority and the lowest price. This is sincere enough, and it can also solve the problems faced by Huawei. How can this be called a lion's exorbitant price?
"Is this your bottom line, Mr. Ye?" Ren Zhenfei said with trembling eyes.
"Mr. Ren, you can make some additional comments, but the two points of selling equity and sharing scientific research results cannot be compromised!" Ye Chen said.
Hearing this.
Ren Zhenfei fell into silence for a while.
From the feedback Tang Yi had given him before, he had already anticipated that he would be passive when facing Ye Chen.
What he didn't expect was that he would be so passive to such an extent!
So this is using Warwick's "family assets" to support the other party, and in return it is just a priority supply right at a low price?
This is fucking bullshit!
It can even be said that this kind of cooperation is completely unequal!
But considering Hua Wei's situation, Ren Zhenfei could only feel bitter in secret.
Then he said, "Mr. Ye, Huawei's bet on Tenglong Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company is just a gamble. It is not certain that they can really win the bet, nor is it certain that Tenglong Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company can really develop what Huawei needs. Under such circumstances, don't you think this kind of cooperation is really excessive?"
However, Ye Chen did not even think about it. "If Tenglong Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company cannot succeed, then any cooperation method will be meaningless, even if Huawei is given more shares. On the contrary, if it can succeed, then the cooperation method I mentioned will not be exaggerated! In fact, to some extent, this is not much different from sharing scientific research results!"
No difference?
One is to have independent control, the other requires help from others.
Is this also called no difference?
"Mr. Ren, you can think about the cooperation again and consider whether it is necessary! If so, I will definitely open my arms to welcome Huawei's favor. If you think the conditions I offer are too harsh and difficult to accept, that's okay. Even if the cooperation fails, our friendship remains. You are still a national entrepreneur that I deeply respect, and Huawei will always be the national brand that symbolizes the light of China in my eyes!" Ye Chen said.
Unexpectedly, Ren Zhenfei skipped this topic directly.
"Mr. Ye, are you really so confident that Tenglong Semiconductor Technology and TL Chip Company can successfully develop what Huawei needs?"
"Doesn't Mr. Ren also have this confidence in us?" Ye Chen asked back with a smile.
Ren Zhenfei was instantly silent.
After a short moment.
Just shake your head silently and smile.
Then, as if he had become a different person, he changed the subject and said, "Director Ye, since you are in Guangzhou-Shenzhen, why don't you leave in a hurry? Let's have a meal together later. What do you think?
Okay, Mr. Ren said, no matter how anxious I am to leave, I have to obey your orders.
OK!
Seeing that Ren Zhenfei did not continue talking about the issue of cooperation, Ye Chen also smiled and responded in moderation.
But he knew in his heart that Ren Zhenfei's dinner party would probably be inseparable from the other party's further hints and tests!
