Tenfold Premium! (2/3 Chapters)

Chapter 42: Tenfold Premium! (Chapter 23)

The day after the press conference.

In the industrial park of Su City, at Tenzhi Technology.

"Mengchuan, take a look. These are the external Leaping 1.0 adapters for Lenovo laptops. There are four models in total, and we're currently planning for black and white colors," Toni said, adjusting his glasses.

Chen Mengchuan looked at the 3D adapters on the screen. The design of the transmitter was slightly different from Dawn 1.0, more rounded and a bit larger. The receiver, however, was much bigger. Since it was to be plugged into a laptop, it was more complex than Dawn 1.0, with a flexible interface structure designed into it.

"Besides these, over ten companies are preparing to embed Leaping 1.0 in their new products. Achen has already compiled 12 embedded Leaping 1.0 core chips, which are sufficient to support embedding in the vast majority of electronic devices," Toni continued.

Nodding, Chen Mengchuan spoke, "It will take continuous new product iterations for all electronic devices to fully achieve embedding. However, the current external Leaping 1.0 adapters will dominate the market for a long time. We need to speed up the completion and optimization of external adapters for these cooperating companies. With so many products and various standards, the external Leaping 1.0 configurator will be Tenzhi's core economic growth point in the next phase."

Toni smiled slightly and asked, "There's one more thing I'd like your advice on."

"Hmm?"

"Basically, all the mobile phone manufacturers have signed the 'Leaping 1.0 Wireless Current Adaptation Cooperation Agreement' and are hoping we can provide it to them preferentially as soon as possible. What do you think?" Toni pushed his glasses up.

Chen Mengchuan shook his head. "We can't give them embedded Leaping 1.0 so quickly."

"The reason?"

"Our current production capacity isn't even enough for Dawn 1.0, and Leaping 1.0 isn't ready for mass production yet. Let's launch the external Leaping 1.0 adapters first. Once the market starts to absorb them in large quantities, we can then begin offering embedded Leaping 1.0 services," Chen Mengchuan's strategy was clear. The first wave would be to sell Dawn 1.0. After expanding production capacity, they would start selling external Leaping 1.0 adapters, and finally, they would provide the 12 embedded Leaping 1.0 core chips to these electronics manufacturers.

Chen Mengchuan's phone rang. It was Xu Shuwei.

He answered the call and put it on speaker. Xu Shuwei's voice came through, "Mengchuan, take a look at the current reservation applications."

"What's wrong?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

"You'll see when you look. Many companies in Europe and America want production and licensing for Dawn 1.0 technology, and some want to be agents to sell Dawn 1.0 and the subsequent external Leaping 1.0 adapters."

"Okay, Brother Xu, I understand. We discussed this issue before. We cannot and will not accept any overseas production or technology licensing. Tenzhi's products currently operate under one principle: export sales only. Those international friends have done similar things to Huaxia many times."

"Be sincere. Tell them we are temporarily not providing overseas production licensing or technology licensing. If they want Dawn 1.0, they can buy the license, buy the products. Whoever offers the highest price gets it, it's that simple. If necessary, auction off the agency rights for each country. Entrust professionals to handle this. Set the date for two months from now, find a venue in Shanghai City, and invite all international friends interested in agency rights to participate. Also, divide the regions into smaller segments. For countries like the United States, we need to divide them into dozens of regions and auction them off one by one," Chen Mengchuan continued.

"Alright, I got it." After hanging up, Xu Shuwei felt his blood boiling.

"Mengchuan, when auctioning overseas agency rights, we should add some restrictions. Participating companies must be domestic enterprises, and each company's qualifications must be reviewed. They can only register to participate in the agency rights for a maximum of three domestic regions," Toni said, pushing his glasses up, a gentle smile on his face.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at calculating," Chen Mengchuan chuckled.

"I'm just prioritizing profit, just like you."

"Everyone has been working hard with overtime recently. Should we give the colleagues in the technology department a break?" Chen Mengchuan asked.

Toni nodded. "It's time for a break. Many people have family in Shanghai City. Continuous overtime has yielded results, and everyone is excited, but continuing to be this stressed isn't sustainable."

"Alright, you arrange it as you see fit. Give them more subsidies. They've worked hard, these brothers," Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.

"Knock, knock, knock!" A knock sounded at the door.

"Come in."

Zhao Wanyu walked in. "Brother Chuan, there's a problem with the land south of the Tenzhi Electronics factory!"

"Take your time," Chen Mengchuan said gravely.

"My father used other developers as a stepping stone to acquire Yuehua's four plots of land, including the one south of Tenzhi Electronics. It's already at the final stage of signing. My uncle discovered the issue at the last moment and proposed a tenfold premium for the land south of Tenzhi Electronics at the board meeting!" Zhao Wanyu said through gritted teeth.

Chen Mengchuan and Toni both frowned.

"Because that land is registered under my uncle's shares, he's not backing down, so it's difficult to move forward. Although my father is trying to find a solution, this matter is probably not going to be easy. We can't really pay him a tenfold premium, can we?" Zhao Wanyu continued.

Toni pushed his glasses up. "Wanyu, if you really gave your uncle a tenfold premium, would he agree to the transaction?"

Zhao Wanyu was taken aback. She thought carefully and slowly shook her head. "My uncle is inherently greedy. If we actually agree to give him a tenfold premium, it might backfire. He'll demand an exorbitant price. Everyone in the family knows his personality. His methods aren't great, and he's caused negative news several times."

"What if we put him away?" Chen Mengchuan said calmly.

"Put him away?" Zhao Wanyu's expression changed slightly.

"Yes," Chen Mengchuan nodded. He didn't have time to deal with these petty individuals. He needed to develop himself as quickly as possible and wouldn't allow anyone to stand in his way, because they weren't just blocking him, but all of humanity.

Zhao Wanyu hesitated slightly. "Although I don't interact with him much, ... perhaps we could try talking to him?"

Chen Mengchuan looked at her and nodded.

Toni pushed his glasses up. "Achen, help me find the phone number for Zhao Dongyou, a shareholder of Yuehua Group."

"Okay, here is his most recently used phone number," Achen's voice sounded, and a phone number appeared on the screen.

Chen Mengchuan picked up the phone and dialed the number.

The call was connected quickly, and a deep middle-aged male voice answered.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, Manager Zhao. I'm Chen Mengchuan from Tenzhi Technology. I'd like to discuss the issue of the land south of the Tenzhi Electronics factory," Chen Mengchuan said calmly.

Zhao Dongyou, who was sitting in his office drinking tea, smiled slightly and replied, "Of course, no problem, no problem. Yuehua has had the land appraised. The current market value is about 260 million. If Tenzhi wants it, we'll sell it to you for 2.6 billion. Otherwise, you can buy other plots of land or find a new location for your factory."

Chen Mengchuan smiled. "Hearing your words, Manager Zhao, I can tell you're a straightforward person. Tenzhi is willing to offer a 2x premium for this land, a total of 520 million. Tenzhi sincerely wants to buy it and make a friend. Manager Zhao, please consider it."

"Are you perhaps not understanding me? 2.6 billion. Not a single dollar less, or you can forget about it. That's it. Call me back when you've thought it over," Zhao Dongyou said with a smile and hung up.

"It seems like it won't be easy to negotiate," Toni said, pushing his glasses up with a smile.

"Mm..."

Chapter 2. There will be another chapter tonight.
