Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 70 Uninvited Guests (First update, collection, follow-up reading, and votes)

The talks on the mainland went very quickly. They started on Tuesday and ended on Wednesday. The motorcycle factory was called BMW Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant. The real BMW at that time was called Bayer, and it was renamed in 1992. Li Song also applied for and registered many international patents for the BMW brand.

The BMW logo is a golden horse head, which is the side logo of a horse stepping on a flying swallow.

The investment contract was signed on Wednesday afternoon. The top leader of Guangzhou and other leaders attended the meeting. Li Song attended as the chairman of Hong Kong Island Parkson Company, Tian Jiahui attended as the legal officer, Ma Zhiwei was the deputy general manager sent by Parkson Company, and the general manager was of course Li Song. In addition, there were several deputy general manager positions, responsible for production management, technology, sales, and logistics.

The reason for setting up so many vice presidents instead of having one person in charge is to disperse power.

These people were recommended by the mainland, and Li Song couldn't find anyone himself. He would use them if they could be used, and not use them if they couldn't.

"Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to work with you!" The investment agreement has been signed, and there are still a series of procedures to go through. The top leader of Guangzhou said with a double meaning.

"Thank you." Everyone had lunch together at noon. In the afternoon, Tian Jiahui continued to go through the process and was very busy.

Li Song went to the motorcycle factory's construction site with Ma Zhiwei, Ma Shengli and Liu Qing.

"Mr. Li, this car is not cheap, right?" Ma Shengli asked as he and Li Song sat in the back seat.

"Fifteen thousand dollars, just for convenience." Li Song said

This time when he went to the construction site, Li Song also took the opportunity to confirm the land and asked for more land, as the motorcycle factory would definitely need to expand its capacity in the future.

"I would like to ask for more land because the main engine factory will expand its production capacity to more than one million units in the future, and we also have marine engines." Li Song knows that there will be huge demand for motorcycles in the future, both domestically and worldwide.

At its peak, the Jialing factory in China sold 110 million units a year. How many motorcycle factories were there in China at that time?
Ma Shengli nodded and kept these words in mind. Ma Shengli was from the Science and Technology Commission, and he was engaged in the work of attracting investment. Of course, he said internally that this motorcycle factory had high technological content, so the Science and Technology Commission was responsible.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Li, no other companies will be added around the motorcycle factory." Ma Shengli naturally knew that the motorcycle factory was a high-tech factory with a high degree of confidentiality, so no other factories would appear around it.

"Well, that's good." Li Song nodded.

Ma Shengli looked at the factory under construction. The factory was a steel structure building and the roof was being completed.

Li Song looked at these cranes and various construction machinery. They would be a big part of the future. There was also a shipyard in the distance, and they could also cooperate in the future.

Li Song didn't intend to do everything by himself. For example, he only made the main engine of the motorcycle and left the rest to others.

The shipbuilder will develop the core marine engines, control systems, and future navigation systems.

The crane only needs the engine and hydraulic column. There is no need to get other steel materials yourself.

"Once the factory building here is completed, I will start investing in small marine engines." Li Song looked at the large and small ships coming and going in the Pearl River, and decided to build the small ships first and then the large ships.

There is a high demand for supplies in Hong Kong and the Mainland right now, so marine outboard motors are bound to be a hot seller.

"Okay!" Ma Shengli nodded, not knowing what Li Song was talking about.

Ma Shengli actually had other questions, but it was inconvenient to ask them all at once. Many domestic factories are also facing a transformation, from military to civilian. This requires technology and equipment, and the demand for motorcycles in China is undoubtedly huge, so many factories are preparing to switch to this field.

However, the motorcycle has not yet been released, and its specific appearance remains to be verified.

Li Song looked at the large tracts of farmland surrounding the BMW Motorcycle Factory, and felt a surge of emotion when he thought of the numerous factories that would be built there in the future.

While Li Song was looking at land in Huangpu Port, two young men found Zhang Dehua's agency on Hong Kong Island.

"Mr. Zhang Dehua, nice to meet you?" The two little notebooks found Zhang Dehua and greeted him warmly.

"We are the representatives of Suzuki Motors in Hong Kong. I'm Inoue, and this is Tanashita. We're here to discuss some business cooperation and would like to discuss it with Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang's company has applied for a patent for a motorcycle. We at Suzuki are very interested in it. If Mr. Zhang can facilitate this deal, the reward will be huge." The two little notebooks introduced themselves.

Zhang Dehua was not surprised at all. Many large companies sent people to monitor intellectual property agencies and various patent agencies, and many large companies had some connections with these intellectual property agencies or patent agencies.

If there are new patents or patents that threaten their own companies, these big companies will take action.

Suzuki is a well-known motorcycle manufacturer in Japan. It is not surprising that it noticed the patents applied for by its own company, because the number of motorcycle patents it applied for this time is so huge.

In fact, even if it is not huge, it will still attract attention.

"Welcome to discuss work. You two can take a look at our quotation first." Zhang Dehua did not refuse. Didn't the little notebook want to discuss it? Come on, there is a fee for consultation.

Although Zhang Dehua didn't know Li Song's background, he knew what kind of person Tian Jiahui was. There was probably no one else in the world who could make Tian Jiahui take money and do favors at the same time.

Moreover, Li Song, a young man, has so many patents, and the background behind him is not simple.

Of course, when you open a business, no matter what outrageous requests the customer makes, you will first collect the consulting fee, and then decide whether you can do it or not, and whether you can discuss it or not, that is a matter for later.

"Okay, now you two can speak." Zhang Dehua handed the quotation sheet to the two people, then took out an alarm clock and spoke.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, this is our business card. We've noticed the recently publicized motorcycle technology patent. The patent owner is named Li Song, and he owns over 400 technologies. This is quite surprising to us in the motorcycle industry."

"Our company is very interested in discussing licensing issues with the patent owner. Of course, if Mr. Zhang can provide more information, we can also provide additional compensation." Inoue said.

"First of all, our company is a professional patent agency, and Mr. Li is one of our important clients. Mr. Inoue, please don't use such tempting words with other connotations next time."

"And I personally know that it's not easy to get money from big companies like you. Many of them are sued by you after they get the money, and in the end, they have to pay you a large sum of money in the settlement."

"Now you two can tell me which technology you want to obtain, what is your quotation, and the acceptable bargaining range. Please note that we charge for patent agency by the piece, so our cooperation is also based on the price of one patent." Zhang Dehua knows these big international companies well. Don't assume that the other party has money and you can ask for it casually.
