Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 255 Embedded Chip Patent Application (First Update)
During his trip to Shanghai, Li Song did not visit the Parkson Department Store branch or the Wonderful Magazine office. Instead, he spent his days wandering around the small Western-style buildings and strolling along the Huangpu River.

I spent the evening whispering sweet nothings to Zhu Ling, having a very relaxing time.

This is what it's like to be a boss. Of course, Li Song is living a carefree life, but many others are suffering, especially those foreign-funded enterprises that used to have dealings with the mainland.

German car factories, Japanese car factories, home appliance factories—the sky has fallen.

However, we still have to invest, because the patents that Li Song applied for have already been licensed to the mainland.

These patented technologies are available to everyone, so of course everyone knows what level the technology has reached. Now, the mainland has enough bargaining power.

Not going to talk?

The mainland will stand up and leave.

Unlike before, when foreign companies would put forward many outrageous conditions and the mainland would gradually erode them.

Now they're directly bringing up the case of Li Song's technology joint venture. See? Baisheng Company licensed the entire technology, but only got a 35% stake.

You bunch of rubbish tech guys, how much of a stake do you really want?
Want 49%?

Then take the money!

That's why those foreign companies are so furious.

However, Li Song chose to do so too early, before any other joint ventures had been established.

Volkswagen is now kicking itself. They started making contact back in 78, planning to keep entangled with the mainland for a few more years, hoping to make the mainland unable to bear it and thus obtain more favorable conditions.

Unexpectedly, now the mainland requires the complete technology, the complete production line and manufacturing process, and the shareholding cannot exceed 35%.

If you want 50% of what you used to get, sure, you'll have to pay up.

As for the letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs entrusted by MTU, the mainland simply ignored it.

Of course, San Dezi was unaware of Li Song's contributions to the mainland, so even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs endorsed him, it wouldn't make much difference.

Li Song didn't set off back to Guangzhou until Saturday, November 15th.

"Mr. Li, the higher authorities have approved your investment in the expressway from Hong Kong Island Customs to Guangzhou in principle." Ma Shengli brought Li Song some good news.

“Mr. Ma, I think we could fund the demolition and construction of this highway, and then we would collect the tolls. The mainland wouldn’t need to contribute a single penny. Of course, the toll prices would need to be regulated by the mainland,” Li Song suggested upon hearing this.

“I’ll give Mr. Ma a preliminary plan later,” Li Song added.

This time, the highway construction must be large-scale. This highway is very busy, and it's like a golden goose laying golden eggs.

“Okay!” Ma Shengli replied.

They also knew that Li Song had more and more money in his hands, that the motorcycle factory was making more and more profits, that he had outboard motors, that he had technology licenses from several special steel companies, as well as licenses from other material companies, and that dozens of home appliance companies, motorcycle companies, outboard motor companies, and construction machinery companies had invested in him.

These will generate profits and dividends, and Li Song will have more and more money in his hands.

"Also, Mr. Ma, could you please report that the personal income tax should also be implemented for foreign-invested enterprises like ours? Otherwise, I'm making too much money and I feel uneasy." Although China passed the personal income tax law in September of this year, it has not yet been levied on foreign nationals like Li Song.

"it is good!"

"In addition, we have reached a preliminary agreement with Pakistan, and they are very happy," Ma Shengli said, referring to the outboard motor.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma!"

“Mr. Li, the higher authorities have decided that for the goods you sell overseas, if they are bartered, as long as there is a company from our country in that country, the transaction can be completed locally and settled in mainland China, saving you a lot of trouble,” Ma Shengli said again.

"Actually, it's not that complicated. We plan to build our own transport fleet later. We'll transport goods on the way there and supplies on the way back. Our company isn't interested in US dollars. If we get US dollars, we'll use them anyway," Li Song chuckled.

"Thank you anyway, Mr. Ma. I'll remember that," Li Song said in the end.

“The higher authorities have approved Qiansheng Electronics Research Institute to recruit students from universities. As long as the students are willing to come, nothing else will be a problem,” Ma Shengli added.

"Okay, I'll let Qiansheng Electric Research Institute handle the recruitment themselves." Li Song already knew that the higher authorities would support him; now it was just a matter of him throwing money at it.

Then Li Song set off back to Hong Kong Island, but he was recognized as soon as he boarded the ship.

Li Song is now a world-renowned writer and a world-famous entrepreneur; such a status is dazzling wherever he goes.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, Li Song lived in Taikoo Shing. After all, he still had to cultivate his own land; if he didn't, someone else would.

The next day, Sunday, Li Song arrived at the magazine office. Upon seeing Li Song, Amin repeatedly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Brother Song!"

"What contract was signed?" Li Song asked.

“With HK$500,000 and a 4% share of the box office revenue, HK$500,000 is enough to buy a house.” Amin felt like she was dreaming.

Five hundred thousand! My mother used to work two jobs and only earned a few thousand Hong Kong dollars a month. She couldn't save five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars even after ten years.

Because people earn more in Hong Kong, but they also have higher expenses.

I've only known Brother Song for a short time, and he's already earned HK$500,000.

"Thank you, Brother Song, thank you," Amin said again.

"No need to thank me, you earned this yourself. You were already a success to even get this interview out of so many people," Li Song said.

"Brother Song, I don't want to study anymore."

"I'll stop studying once I can sign a job contract. Do you want to switch schools?"

"No, I'd rather not." "Then don't tell anyone how much money you've made. The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in this world. Many kidnappings and similar crimes are committed by acquaintances because acquaintances know you inside and out."

"Yeah, I don't have any money either, just a little pocket money."

Li Song looked at Amin, whose trajectory was completely different from history; he was the butterfly of the Amazon.

They just didn't stir up a storm.

At noon, Li Song and Amin left the magazine office separately. Amin was also very busy, having to go to school and draw comics at the same time.

Li Song had some free time. He returned to Taikoo Shing and spent the afternoon shopping with Ah Lin. Li Song wore a wig, sunglasses, and a leather jacket, looking like a young man who had just entered society.

While shopping, I put the patent for the embedded RISC chip in the trunk. Of course, it doesn't include manufacturing technology; it's just a design architecture patent.

Because Li Song drove himself while shopping, his bodyguards followed at a distance.

The next day, when Li Song arrived at Parkson Department Store, there were still many reporters at the entrance.

However, Li Song declined to be interviewed.

"Old Tian, ​​call Zhang Dehua and tell him to come over," Li Song said as soon as he entered the company and saw Tian Jiahui.

"it is good!"

"Morning boss!"

"Good morning, boss!" the employees greeted Li Song.

"Okay! When will we move to the new office?" Li Song felt that there were more and more people in the company.

“Number 20,” Secretary Zhang Shuwen replied.

"Yeah." Li Song nodded.

Zhang Dehua arrived quickly: "Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Zhang, can you handle processor patent registration?" Li Song asked.

“Yes, we can do it. I knew Mr. Li was setting up a semiconductor lab, so I was ready,” Zhang Dehua quickly replied.

“Zhang Sheng, no wonder your business is so big. I have a patent application for an embedded processor here. Lao Tian, ​​send someone to bring in the documents from the trunk.” Li Song didn’t expect Zhang Dehua to have known about it beforehand.

"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Li," Zhang Dehua said with a chuckle.

“Semiconductors are our company’s main focus going forward. The chip industry has a wide range of related industries. Mr. Zhang, you should learn more about it,” Li Song said.

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me, Mr. Li." Zhang Dehua nodded.

Zhang Dehua had indeed studied it and was very clear about the patent application process for chips.

Patent registration, then signing a contract, this time the cost was not much, only two million Hong Kong dollars.

Reporters waited until Zhang Dehua left Parkson Department Store before eagerly requesting interviews.

Because Zhang Dehua drives the company car and even sprays their company name on the car, this guy is also advertising.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that your company made over 100 million Hong Kong dollars by representing Mr. Li in his patent application?" a reporter quickly asked.

"Yes, our business revenue this year has indeed exceeded HK$100 million. Our company is now the largest patent agency in Asia," Zhang Dehua said.

"Mr. Zhang, what patent has Mr. Li applied for this time?"

"This is a secret. Our company has many partners around the world, and these partners are all very powerful," Zhang Dehua advertised for his company.

"What is Mr. Zhang's opinion on Mr. Li applying for so many patents on his own?"

“Li Sheng is a true genius I have ever met. The world of geniuses is different from ours, so we ordinary people think it’s a bit outrageous that Mr. Li has applied for so many patents, but I think it’s normal.”

"Zhang Sheng..."

"Thank you everyone, I still have work to do," Zhang Dehua said before quickly leaving.

"Boss, the dealer conference is scheduled for the 25th. More than 400 individuals or companies have already expressed their intention to attend, involving motorcycles and outboard motors," Tian Jiahui reported to Li Song.

"This is the plan. We've booked a hotel. This is the detailed process. We'll develop different contracts for different regions according to international practice," Tian Jiahui said, taking out a plan document.

"Hmm." Li Song glanced at it. The company was developing large regional distributors, which required a deposit.

The quantity of goods allocated varies depending on the margin required.

"Boss, it's all thanks to San Dezi's side fighting the lawsuit against us."

"It has elevated our company's reputation to the level of San Dezi quality."

"Moreover, the motorcycles we sell in Southeast Asia have a very good reputation."

“If it weren’t for the lawsuit filed against us by Sande subsidiary, our products might not be so popular.”

"Our prices are only half of those of other products in the world, making us very competitive in the market," Tian Jiahui said.

"So going to court isn't always a bad thing," Li Song nodded.
