Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 324 The Leader's Instructions, the Car Company's Hidden Thoughts

Huang Tianya paused, carefully observing the other person's increasingly unpleasant expression, then continued slowly in a highly provocative tone:

"Do you think we can afford to wait this out, or you can?"

"The 6.8% stake is not an exorbitant price we're asking for; it's the value of our patent portfolio."

Shen Fei continued to play the bad cop. With the technology, he could have forced them to cooperate. There was no need for one to play the bad cop and the other the good cop; that would be a waste of time.

"Either we sign the contract under these terms, and everyone gets what they want."

You can ask the people behind you for what you deserve, and we can cooperate with you.

All we want is equity and patent licensing.

"Either you continue filing these patents and wait for them to gradually depreciate in value."

"I'll give you 10 minutes to think about it."

Shen Fei turned and walked towards the door, then called out to Huang Tianya again.

"If I don't see your signature in 10 minutes, you can go back to your country directly."

Oh, by the way, the legal staff can stay and liaise with our patent attorneys.

"It won't be as simple as just shares then."

Rick, a guest from Finland, was witnessing such telepathy for the first time.

Otherwise, all the rumors circulating outside are just attempts to glorify them, which is simply shameless.

Looking at the contract on the table, he knew that Shen Fei was telling the truth; Nokia today was no longer the Nokia that was at its peak in 08.

No matter how powerful the patents you have, they can't cover up your backwardness in the smartphone era.

Ten minutes later, Shen Fei opened the door on time.

The threat on his face had vanished, and the stubbornness on Rick's face had disappeared. Although he was still unwilling, he had no choice but to give in.

"Mr. Shen, you win."

Shen Fei took the contract, looked at the voluntarily signed document, and smiled: "Pleasure doing business with you."

…………

After finishing with Nokia, Shen Fei received another phone call.

The other party was Secretary Li, who was also a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. Although the telepathic communication was no longer under his jurisdiction, in this place...

Moreover, the other party and his father-in-law are likely to work together in the future.

Finally, Shen Fei hummed twice, which was considered his agreement.

It wasn't anything else, but Secretary Li wanted Yangcheng Motors and Transsion to cooperate, so that Yangcheng Toyota could begin its transformation towards new energy vehicles.

Their demands weren't high; strictly speaking, they were there to give away money, asking Transsion to provide them with batteries, electronic controls, and ESP systems.

Everything should be done according to the conditions of the transmission. Their technology can be reduced to a certain extent, but it is best to be at the international mainstream or advanced level.

……

But while Secretary Li says this, those below may not necessarily think so.

Especially Toyota!

After all, the joint venture is supposed to be a 50/50 split, but through the three major components like engines, the actual entity takes more than 80% of the profits. Now, the local government is directly getting involved...

This is not a good thing.

May 7th was the agreed-upon date.

Takeshi Yamada, chairman of Toyota Motor Corporation of Guangzhou, lingered in the VIP lounge for a while, but the tea in front of him had gone cold, and he didn't touch it.

He glanced at his watch; the appointment was for 10 a.m., but it was already 10:15 a.m.

He deliberately left half an hour late.

In his view, a Chinese car company that crossed over from the mobile phone industry to car manufacturing is not worth his attention, let alone Transsion, which started out making mobile phones.

Takeshi Yamada is 67 years old and has worked at Toyota for 43 years.

He started from the bottom and worked his way up to vice president, and was the technical founder of Toyota's hybrid technology.

He witnessed Toyota transform from a Japanese automaker into the world's number one, and he also witnessed Chinese automakers starting from "copycat" and wasting 30 years.

However, it still lags far behind in core technologies such as engines, transmissions, and chassis.

As for electric vehicles, Yamada Takeshi looks down on them deep down.

With imperfect battery technology and charging infrastructure, and still relying on coal for electricity, the carbon emissions are actually higher than those of gasoline-powered vehicles.

Hydrogen energy is better!

The Chinese are just following the trend when it comes to electric vehicles.

But that Musk is also a clown.

The other members, after receiving Secretary Li's call, anxiously approached him: "Secretary Li called to urge us, shall we set off immediately?"

Yamada Takeshi continued to pretend he hadn't heard, and even went so far as to close his eyes.

This made the other members lose face, so they also looked down on the broadcast. But after all, it was a task assigned by the municipal party committee, and they had to do a good job of maintaining appearances.

Even if they don't want to cooperate, they can take a publicly funded trip and then find an excuse to back out later.

But if Mr. Yamada does it this way, it'll look a bit awkward!

Let's go!

The other members instantly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried on their way, arriving at the Transmission meeting room about 10 minutes later.

Upon arriving at the conference room, Takeshi Yamada straightened his suit and finally managed a professional smile.

But the smile remained only on his lips; there was no warmth in his eyes.

He came today to give Secretary Li face.

Secretary Li said that Transsion is number one in the world in battery technology, and that China is poised for a new energy boom. He also kept hinting on the phone that a cooperation could be reached with Transsion.

Although he was unwilling, Yamada Takeshi couldn't afford to offend Secretary Li, since Toyota's factory in Guangzhou was still located in Guangzhou.

Moreover, it's said that Secretary Li is about to give birth, so we should still give him face.

The person in charge of Transsion was Vice President Wang Jianguo.

He is 42 years old and previously worked at Volvo for 8 years before switching to Transsion when Geely was preparing to acquire it.

He wasn't angry that the other party didn't give him face; he simply chose to return the favor by arriving 10 minutes late as well.

"Mr. Yamada, I'm sorry."

"I'm Wang Jianguo from Transsion Holdings. Our team has been quite busy with new car developments lately, so I'm sorry I couldn't greet you right away."

Yamada Takeshi shook hands with him, then let go with a light touch.

"Mr. Wang, Secretary Li said you are interested in cooperating with Toyota?"

My schedule is very tight today, please give a brief introduction.

Wang Jianguo could tell from his perfunctory tone that he was being dismissive.

"Tight schedule," "Brief introduction"—this isn't a collaboration; it's just a task to complete.

But this is different from what Secretary Li's secretary told us.

Did the other party really not understand the meaning behind Secretary Li's words?

Wang Jianguo didn't pay much attention. Since the other party wasn't taking the bait, there was no need for him to focus on it.

So I turned on the projector directly.

"Mr. Yamada, as requested by the Municipal Party Committee, Transsion is able to cooperate in areas such as the three-electric system, high-density battery, ESP system, electric shock, range extender system, and high-efficiency photovoltaic panel."

The parameters of the high-density battery have appeared on the big screen. The latest generation has reached an energy density of 250 watt-hours per kilogram, which is more than twice that of traditional batteries.

Cycle life of 2500 cycles, capacity retention of 80%.

It is already in mass production and installed in Transsion vehicles.

Yamada Takeshi looked at the screen, his eyes flickering slightly.

Toyota is still working on high-density batteries in its labs, but it can't solve the silicon problem no matter what. Transsion's research is reliable, but it doesn't want to cooperate.

So he deliberately picked a fight and asked, "Mr. Wang, has this data been verified by a third party?"
