Chapter 212

Frankie is already a Chinese expert, not so good, but in terms of the low threshold requirements of the Chinese people, he can say "hello" and "Happy New Year". Frankie, who can use chopsticks, can be called a magical foreigner.

And when he ate the 40th dumpling, the cheers almost broke the roof.

Even Comrade Yang Feng, with a smile on his face, said to Yang Rui, "this foreigner is not bad."

"Because he can eat dumplings?" Yang Rui can't figure out the reason for Frankie's appearance. His mood is always not calm enough.

Yang Feng laughed twice, looking at his son who has been quite calm recently, he said with interest, "what are you worried about?"

"I don't know what he's doing here." Yang Rui let out a breath. A few months of hard work, in exchange for a share and $800000, Yang Rui doesn't want to have more twists and turns.

"I think it's a good thing," Yang said

"Why?"

"It's hard for him to eat dumplings with chopsticks. If it's bad, he doesn't have to do so." Yang Feng's answer hit the nail on the head.

Yang Rui suddenly realized that he was the commune secretary

Compared with the position of secretary of the township party committee, Comrade Yang Feng obviously missed the commune Secretary more. He immediately burst into laughter when he felt that power was all in one.

Frankie stopped his chopsticks in laughter, patted his stomach and said, "I can't eat any more."

"I haven't eaten the chrysanthemum stuffing yet." You can't be polite.

"I'm full."

"One more, try it."

"All right." Fat people can always add another 30% to their full stomach. Frankie is embarrassed to pick up another big dumpling, takes a hard bite and chews happily.

"The dumplings made by Yang's mother are very good, and they have a lot of meat." The neighbor director Wang's wife sincerely praised.

Rui's mother can't close her mouth with a smile. It's a compliment to be able to buy meat. Every Spring Festival and Mid Autumn Festival is a time when the relatives of the meat factory show up.

"Delicious, just too full." Each dumpling Frankie ate was like a small bun, that is, his big stomach could hold more than 40.

Rui's mother asked, "is it too strange?"

"No, I like dumplings, Italian dumplings, Japanese dumplings and Chinese dumplings. They are delicious." When Frankie spoke, the interpreter with dumplings beside him had to put down his chopsticks, which was full of spelling.

Visitors have strange: "Italy and Japan also have dumplings?"

"Yes, the taste is different, and the method is also different. Italian dumplings put meat, onion, cheese and so on in the dough. After pressing, they are cut with a knife. Japanese dumplings and Chinese dumplings are very similar..." when it comes to food, Frankie also talks a lot, and the harder part is translation.

At the end of one question, the visitors asked more questions.

Yang Rui looks on coldly and finally confirms that Frankie is not here to find fault.

Otherwise, there's no need to be so flattering.

But from another angle, maybe it's to break the contract or something, so I have to please in advance?

Yang Rui can't restrain his curiosity. When Frankie finally gets pickled dumplings and his resistance is zero, he saves him.

Frankie had a bitter face: "this is always the case when eating abroad."

"Foreigners I know usually eat in fixed places, but few of them are so bold as you." Yang Rui handed him a glass of water to slow him down.

Even Chinese people can't adapt to pickled cabbage dumplings. Rui Ma specially made them for Frankie to taste.

At least, Yang Rui is not used to it.

Frankie drank some water, rinsed off the smell, shook his head and said, "I plan to be a gourmet when I retire, you know? I've been to 48 countries, two more, and that's 50 countries. "

"Your passport is really good." Yang Rui said sincerely.

Frankie laughs: "it's useful in Commonwealth countries. Other places, whether it's passport or factory building, need more background and help."

"And the former colonies." Yang Rui added a sentence to him in English.

The tired translator finally stopped.

"Yes, there are also former colonies, but I would like to say that our relations with other countries in the world are constantly improving," he said with a bitter smile

"Maybe."

"We want to build coenzyme Q10 factories in more places." Frankie finally gave the purpose of his trip.Yang Rui frowned: "we have talked about this."

"I know that you refused, but I solemnly put forward again. I hope you can consider it carefully."

"Why?" Yang Rui asked.

Frankie said with some confusion: "no reason, we think one factory can not meet the demand of coenzyme Q10. Strategically speaking, we need more factories."

"I'm at a loss when you engage in a price war. It's meaningless for me to increase production capacity." Yang Rui shook his head in disbelief.

With regard to the current capacity of coenzyme Q10 in the world, it is far from enough to add another factory. Both Ruijie and Jielikang are the first generation of semi chemical synthesis plants. The cost is much lower than that of tissue extraction, but the production capacity is not certain. Even if the investment is nearly 10 million US dollars, the output will not be more than three times that of Xijie, which means one ton a year is a high data, The global demand for coenzyme Q10 is far beyond the scale of ten tons.

However, no matter how big the market demand is, there is always a limit.

It doesn't matter to build two factories at once, three or four or five or six. There are always bad times.

Once the situation of short supply changes, the most miserable thing will be the Japanese factories which occupy the market position at present. However, Xijie factory and Ruijie factory which have not been put into operation will also suffer losses.

Yang Rui rejected Jericho for this reason before, and Frankie put forward this request again, which made Yang Rui extremely curious.

It's the rhythm of climbing up the table knowing you're going to be killed.

What makes them so confident?

Frankie was familiar with Yang Rui. Instead of being careless, he just walked into the yard and said to Yang Rui, "we can compensate you in other ways."

"Oh?"

"Royalty." Frankie said the word with his teeth clenched.

The larger the scale of the factory, the more reluctant to pay the royalty, because the royalty is charged according to the output, which is equal to increasing the cost of the product out of thin air, and it is a constant cost.

The most famous royalty is Coca Cola bottle, a glass bottle designed by someone. Because they signed a royalty contract with Coca Cola, Coca Cola has to pay 1 cent for each bottle of this kind of bottle. Because a small amount of glass bottles produced in this plan has become the main product, the designer has been paid more than 100 million US dollars, far more than the design fee itself.

Naturally, the patent of coenzyme Q10 can't be one cent, and once the large-scale construction of jerichon, the output will not be less.

Yang Rui looked at Frankie as a fool and asked, "how can you make this request?"

"Can't I?" Frankie is confused. Is this Chinese festival custom?

Yang Rui laughed: "it's normal for me to put forward this request."

Frankie breathed a sigh of relief and said hastily, "the royalty is $500 per kilogram. Our plan this year is more than 5 tons."

A royalty of $500 per kilogram is equivalent to 5% of sales and 15% of profits. At present, it is more generous than 15% of shares.

5 The production capacity per ton is also very large. Jielikang will build at least three new factories equivalent to the scale of Ruijie factory, and the total amount of patent money will reach US $2.5 million. If they build more factories, they will have to pay more patent money.

Yang Rui completely did not understand, asked: "what happened?"

Frankie was silent for a moment and said with a bitter smile, "there is news that the Japanese are ready to update the factory."

"What does it look like?"

"It's probably also a semi chemical route."

"No way." Yang Rui was startled by his voice and said in a low voice: "my technology distribution is very comprehensive. Even if they have technical reserves, they can't break through the technical barriers in a short time."

"They didn't break through your technical barriers." Frankie was quite impressed by this. It's really not easy for a person to set up a minefield that several companies of the other party can't break through.

Yang Rui was slightly relieved and asked, "since you have not broken through the technical barriers, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid they will ignore the technology patent and produce directly."

Yang Rui was stunned.

Frankie thought that Yang Rui didn't understand, and painstakingly explained: "the market monopoly position is the strategic goal of the Japanese factory. The business group that has lost the monopoly position is likely to be dismissed by the consortium that controls their fate. Therefore, Japanese companies would rather violate the patent law than use new technology to produce coenzyme Q10.... "

"They're going to sue me?""If you sue them, they are ready to drag on the lawsuit and continue production until there is a ruling."

"But the verdict was slow?"

Frankie nodded.

Yang Rui sighed and finally came to this point. This is also a situation that all small and medium-sized biological companies may encounter. Large consortia or large pharmaceutical companies ignore the patents of small companies and infringe patents to make profits while filing lawsuits.

Patent lawsuits take a long time, some can last seven or eight years, or even seventeen or eighteen years, long enough to endure a patent is worthless.

If they lose the lawsuit, they will lose money, but most of the time, the money lost is much less than what they earn.

It can be said that consortia and large pharmaceutical companies calculate the litigation cost and the final compensation cost into the total cost.

In other words, they know that the lawsuit will lose and the patent will be infringed as long as it is profitable.

Jielikang did not infringe Yang Rui's patent. On the one hand, Yang Rui's price is not unreasonable. On the other hand, it is because they have not mastered the relevant technology.

Japanese companies are different. They can no longer get patent authorization from Yang Rui. On the other hand, their technology reserves can enable them to quickly copy Yang Rui's technology.

In fact, Yang Rui's technical barriers can't be perfect. Companies that have been doing pre research for a long time may have registered relevant patents, but they are not as complete as Yang Rui.

"It seems that we can only fight the lawsuit." Money is heroic. Yang Rui has $800000 in his pocket. Although it's not enough to finish the whole lawsuit, he can always pay for the expenses in the early stage.

As long as he can survive to win the lawsuit, he can't grab all the profits. There will always be a lot of compensation, which is better than shrinking his head.

Frankie was shocked by his answer and asked, "are you going to Japan to sue?"

"Hong Kong or Japan, in short, I will not let it go." Yang Rui looks awe inspiring. He is bleeding in his heart. It's quite expensive to hire a lawyer.

Frankie relaxed a little and said, "in this way, it's better to hand over the case to our jerichon group. We have our own lawyers, and we also have relevant experience and reputation..."

Yang Rui finally understood: "do you want to get authorization, and then fight a lawsuit with Japanese enterprises?"

"Yes, it's good for you, too."

"It's better for you. As far as I know, Chinese people don't like to fight lawsuits." If Jericho were the plaintiff, Japanese companies would not be so easy to get away from. Whether it was fighting for financial resources or lawyers and contacts, Jericho belonged to Gao fushai, a pharmaceutical company. Faced with such a large pharmaceutical company, Japanese companies might settle in advance and lose a sum of money.

This means that jerichon is likely to occupy the market.

"An authorization fee of $800 per kilogram." Yang Rui can't ask too much. This authorization fee can also make up for the loss of price war - if it happens. On the contrary, with the large-scale upgrading of Japanese factories and the punishment of reconciliation or lawsuit victory, the global supply system of coenzyme Q10 is likely to change dramatically.

Furthermore, even in this case, the increase of production capacity of jerichon will not cause a price dive.

Frankie countered: "700 dollars."

Yang Rui takes the middle value: "750 dollars."

Frankie couldn't wait to say "deal" and took out the contract and signed it on the spot.

Yang Rui read it, wrote down his name and prepared to wait for the snowy dollar to fly into his laboratory.
