Springfield Cuisine, which has been in Los Angeles for nearly 30 years. It has always been an ideal choice for Hollywood stars and business people for private dining. He is only one street away from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so you can often see some celebrities, directors, producers and other film and television circles here. There are also some handsome guys and beautiful girls with dreams waiting for opportunities here.
When Bao Zixuan arrived, Matsushita Konosuke had already arrived ahead of schedule. He was chatting with Ichiro Chuntian, the owner of the shop, and Bao Zixuan didn't bother them. It sounds like they have known each other for a long time, and haven't seen each other for several years.
Konosuke Matsushita has rarely gone abroad since he retired to the second tier. After all, he is old. Get involved when Panasonic just decides big things. But today he decided to make an exception for this young man by himself.
Matsushita Konosuke: "Come on, boy. It's not bad here!"
Bao Zixuan: "The layout is okay, but I don't know how it tastes!"
Konosuke Matsushita: "Chuntian, someone challenged you! You can't lose face for a while."
Ichiro Haruda: "Okay, it looks like I'm going to fight in person. You sit down first, and I'll prepare."
The waiter brought Bao Zixuan and Matsushita Konosuke to a private room. The two knelt face to face on the tatami according to the Japanese way of eating.
Matsushita Konosuke: "Boy, should we talk about business or private first?"
Bao Zixuan: "I don't know in what capacity Mr. Matsushita is talking to me about public and private affairs!"
Konosuke Matsushita: "Boy, I'm waiting here! I'll talk to you about business as the founder of RB Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. and talk to you about private affairs as Grandpa Matsushita Miyuki."
Bao Zixuan: "Then let's talk about public affairs first! Otherwise, it's not easy to talk about public affairs after talking about private affairs, and can't people say that you don't distinguish between public and private!"
In fact, Bao Zixuan doesn't know how to discuss personal affairs with Matsushita Konosuke. After all, he really has nothing to do with Matsushita Miyuki. We are just ordinary friends, just some misunderstandings.
Bao Zixuan is also a very contradictory person now. After all, he doesn't know what kind of girlfriend or wife he is looking for. The two lives made him feel insecure all the time. Fear of losing everything in front of you at any time.
Matsushita Konosuke: "Okay! Don't be so angry, young man."
At this time, the dishes have already started to come. Looking at these dishes, Bao Zixuan knows that Matsushita Konosuke is quite generous!
Bao Zixuan: "I know that Panasonic wants to obtain the patent license for Walkman and small CNC machine tools. There is no problem with these, but it depends on Mr. Panasonic's sincerity!"
Matsushita Konosuke didn't expect to come up and went straight to the topic. It seems that he is a relatively impatient person, just like the rumors from the outside world. Then I'm going to grind your temper.
Konosuke Matsushita: "It's not urgent, but bluefin tuna is very famous here. Let's talk while eating."
Seeing that Matsushita Konosuke had already started to eat, Bao Zixuan didn't want to be hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Not to mention the taste of the food made here is alright.
Bluefin tuna is the largest species of tuna. The body is short and sturdy, its flesh is delicate, oily, reddish in color, tastes great, and of course is very expensive. Even now, each fish is about hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Bao Zixuan ate this food once when he went to RB on a business trip in his previous life. Today is the second time to eat this kind of food. I'd be sorry for myself if I didn't give you a rush.
Bao Zixuan: "Why is this enough for anyone to eat? It's 4 points. Mr. Matsushita won't be so stingy when he treats guests!"
Matsushita Konosuke: "Are you here to talk business or to make me bleed?"
Bao Zixuan: "It's okay, let's eat slowly. You don't know, I haven't eaten anything for the exhibition these few days, and I'm in a hurry! Black Cloud is no better than Panasonic. If there is no business, I can't even support workers."
Hearing this, Konosuke Matsushita felt that this kid was too thick-skinned. If he hadn't heard Miyuki say something about Heiyun, he would have been easily deceived by him.
Konosuke Matsushita: "It's easy to handle! Look at how Panasonic's investment in Heiyun is calculated based on Wall Street's valuation of Heiyun. How about it?"
Bao Zixuan: "It's not very good, I don't want to put a spell on my head. And Panasonic may not be able to spend so much money! Let's talk about the patent of the Walkman!"
Konosuke Matsushita: "Okay! What kind of technology authorization does Heiyun need from Panasonic? After all, there are too many good things in our patent pool, and Heiyun only has the Walkman one item. We will buy some finished products for small CNC machine tools."
Bao Zixuan: "I hope that Heiyun can get Panasonic's technology and patent authorization for washing machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators, but I will use some cash to make up the difference. As for the small CNC machine you want, we can discuss and sell it to Panasonic. no problem."
Konosuke Matsushita: "Boy, don't you think it's too greedy! There is only one item, you can choose by yourself. Whether it is a washing machine, an air conditioner, or a refrigerator, you can exchange it with you. The choice is yours."
Bao Zixuan: "Then I will suffer too much. After all, only Heiyun owns the patent for Walkman. And these are technologies that any major home appliance company has. Both, Heiyun does not need to make up the price difference. And the production line must be bought to me at the same time. , I can swap with a small CNC machine."
Konosuke Matsushita: "Yes, but the washing machine should be excluded."
Panasonic has a leading position in the world on washing machines, and naturally it will not easily license its patents.
Bao Zixuan: "Yes."
He knows that this is the bottom line of this hometown product. After all, the core products are not so easy to get, even if they got them, they were made a few years ago.
Matsushita Konosuke: "Now we can talk about personal matters! What do you think of Miyuki!"
Bao Zixuan didn't expect that the contrast between this hometown's goods was so great, and the pace of entry was too fast! But people also care about their granddaughters. If they become fathers or grandfathers in the future, they will use the same mentality!
Bao Zixuan: "The Snowman is pretty good, but we are really ordinary friends. I believe someone has already reported to you about the scene where we met."
"As for what you saw that day, it was her roommate's prank. Just say what you mean!"
Matsushita Konosuke: "What do we mean, since both of you say you are ordinary friends, I have nothing to say."
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan was relieved a lot. After all, Miyuki Matsushita was a girl, and she was a princess of Matsushita, so her reputation still had to be taken into consideration.
Just like this, I had a private conversation with Matsushita Konosuke and it was over But in the end, when Matsushita Konosuke's secretary came back from the sale, his face was not very good. Two people ate 4,800 US dollars. In fact, Matsushita Konosuke is getting old, and almost all Bao Zixuan is eating alone. Fortunately, everyone is a trustworthy person.
On the morning of the second day, which was also the last day of the exhibition, Panasonic and Heiyun reached an agreement on the exchange of patents for Walkman, refrigerators and air conditioners.
Panasonic exchanged the technology and patent authorization of an air conditioner and a refrigerator for the Walkman technology and patent authorization of Heiyun Company. Panasonic provides production lines for both products and is responsible for technical guidance.
Heiyun Company exchanged 83 small CNC machine tools of equivalent value for these two production lines. They are all simplified production lines, with an annual output of about 80,000 to 100,000 units, but Bao Zixuan is not afraid, he just wants to get an intervention platform.
When negotiating with RCA in the end, there was nothing in Heiyun that RCA saw. The licensing of the LCD screen was severely extorted by RCA, and the Black Cloud Company paid a price of 8 million US dollars for this patent that was about to expire. After all, the form is like this. After biting the toothpick and finishing the contract, Bao Zixuan thought to himself, the mountains and rivers meet, and sooner or later I will find the place.
In fact, it's not his fault that he was angry. After all, Sony, Hitachi and other companies got the license for only 2 million US dollars. However, there is no way to do this. After all, the production of many products is inseparable from the LCD screen.
So far, the goal of this exhibition by Heiyun Company has been perfectly completed. After two days of playing in Los Angeles, everyone is ready to return to Hong Kong. Bao Zixuan will also go back to Hong Kong. The first battle for Wharf is about to begin. The layout is very early, so why not drink a bowl of broth!
