Buying this kind of thing is similar to a luxury car, and when guests come to the house, seeing the surprise of the robot will make them feel more face.

The intelligence of this robot has truly reached the world's top level.

This is also the reason why the Army Ant Company caused such a big commotion after releasing the intelligent robot.

As one of the high-level personnel, he also knows that within Samsung, there is a research and development department that purchases robots from the Army Ant Company to study, but he has not heard of any gains.

"Mr. Gao, the president is in a meeting now, you need to wait here." After entering the reception room, the robot spoke.

These words made the complexions of Gao Zhendong, Jin Zhizhang and others darken.They come over, take it and tell them now, still in a meeting.

What does it mean?

They are all people who have been there. Many times, when they meet people they don't want to see, or unimportant people who come to visit, they will say that they are in a meeting.

Never dreamed that one day, this routine would be used on them.

Is this trying to give them a blow?

It's not enough that they are now in the army ant company, they are here to seek cooperation, so naturally they dare not attack.Otherwise, the meeting that I managed to make an appointment with would definitely be ruined.

"How long?" Gao Zhendong asked after taking a deep breath.

"I don't know." The little robot demon shook his head.

"What about your boss, Mr. Chen Mo? Can you contact them and let us meet him?" Gao Zhendong asked with a smile.

"Little demon can't contact Mr., Mr. doesn't see any guests."

After the robot left the reception room, the complexions of Gao Zhendong and Jin Zhizhang immediately darkened.

They have never been ignored like they are today.If it was normal, they would have turned around to find someone, but now, if they left, the cooperation would be ruined.

"Sure enough, he is a proud and arrogant Chinese." Jin Zhizhang said angrily.

"Speak carefully." The female assistant next to her whispered.

After all, this is the Army Ant Company, and they don't know if the people in the Army Ant Company have secretly installed something.

Jin Zhizhang had a sullen face and didn't say any more.

About an hour and a half later, there was still no one in the reception room.Except for the robot in the middle who brought them tea a few times, no one entertained them.

They asked once in the middle, ordinary employees didn't know what Zhao Min was doing, and the robot's answer was the meeting room, and they didn't know when the meeting was over.

Just when Gao Zhendong and the others were getting impatient, the door of the reception room suddenly opened.

Zhao Min and Xiao Yu, led by Xiao Yao, entered the reception room.

"Mr. Gao, I kept you waiting for a long time. There are a lot of company affairs. I didn't have time to talk about things today, but I heard that you are coming, Mr. Gao, so I made time to come. But I still asked you to wait for the meeting just now." Zhao Min opened his mouth as soon as he saw Gao Zhendong.

Without waiting for the female assistant beside Gao Zhendong to translate, the robot has already acted as an interpreter, directly translating and telling Gao Zhendong.

Xiao Yu at the side blinked at Zhao Min.She was a little curious, how did Zhao Min do it, lying so naturally.

Is this the mall veteran?Xiao Yu thought silently.

In fact, Gao Zhendong and others had just entered the company, and Zhao Min already knew about it.What the little demon said was also made by Zhao Min.Just now Zhao Min has been sitting in the office dealing with documents, she knows best.

However, it is impossible for her to expose Zhao Min and watch quietly.

Hearing Zhao Min's words, Gao Zhendong and Jin Zhizhang next to him twitched, holding back their anger and unable to vent it.

A few simple words explain everything clearly.

What Zhao Min meant was that she didn't have time to see them.I heard that it was them, so I gave them a face-to-face meeting. I asked them to wait just now, but she was still working normally, and they couldn't blame her at all.

Sure enough, he is a veteran!

No wonder he became the second in command of the Army Ant Company at such a young age.After making them wait for so long, now that they come here with a word that they can't refute, it must not be a simple person.

They are so skillful in speaking.

"It's okay, it's normal to be busy with work, and I'm often busy too. It's my luck that Mr. Zhao can find time to meet me." Gao Zhendong said with a smile on his face.

"That's good." Hearing the robot's translation, Zhao Min also smiled: "President Gao came to see me this time, why?" Sitting down on the sofa, Zhao Min spoke directly.

"Hehe, I'm here today to talk about the misunderstanding between our two companies." Gao Zhendong laughed.

"Oh?" Zhao Min was slightly surprised: "Is there any misunderstanding between us?"

"Last time about the OLED screen, our company's production problems caused delays in delivery, which brought some trouble and unnecessary losses to your company. I've always wanted to tell you about this in person, but I ended up being busy. For a while, I forgot. Some time ago, I suddenly remembered that incident, which may have caused misunderstandings between our two companies, so I rushed over to explain to you in person." Gao Zhendong said.

According to Jin Zhizhang's words, lower your posture first.

"President Gao really has a heart, and I also understand the problems caused by some 'force majeure' factors." Zhao Min looked at Gao Zhendong with a half-smile.

She is not a fool, so naturally she will not believe these nonsense.

This is not the first time that Samsung has used this method. Many companies, including Huawei, have experienced it before and suffered a lot.

"Long live the understanding." Gao Zhendong was overjoyed. What Jin Zhizhang said was indeed useful, as long as he lowered his posture a little.Although he was overjoyed in his heart, his face remained calm.

The corner of Jin Zhizhang's mouth curled up in a mocking arc, but he didn't dare to be too blatant.

In his opinion, all Chinese people are like this.

"Today we booked a dinner at the Binhai Hotel, can you invite Mr. Zhao to come over? After all, it's our problem, so it's our compensation, isn't it?"

"Hehe, eating and drinking is free." Hearing the translation from the robot demon, Zhao Min took a deep look at Gao Zhendong: "Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, does Mr. Gao have anything else to do?"

"Mr. Zhao is really smart, and he knows things like a god." Gao Zhennan rubbed his hands and said, "This time, besides resolving the misunderstanding between us last time, there is indeed another matter."

"Tell me." The corner of Zhao Min's mouth curled up.

"It's the authorization of the smart assistant."

"Do you want the authorization of the smart assistant? That's easy to say." Zhao Min said leisurely: "It's not impossible for the smart assistant to authorize you."

Chapter 252 I'll Give You a [-]% Discount

Gao Zhendong and Jin Zhizhang were overjoyed, they never dreamed that it was so easy.

I thought it would take a lot of effort for Zhao Min to agree, but I didn't expect Zhao Min to agree just as soon as he opened his mouth.It seemed that the hour or so of waiting just now was worth it.

Suddenly, I felt that I misunderstood Zhao Min just now, but now, this woman seems much cuter.

"Mr. Zhao is really refreshing." Gao Zhendong smiled openly, the depression just now had been swept away, and he felt refreshed.

"Hehe." Zhao Min smiled slightly: "I am a businessman, and my main task is to make money." After speaking, he turned to Xiao Yu: "Go and print out the authorization agreement."

"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded lightly, turned and left, and not long after, he entered the reception room with a freshly printed agreement.

"This is the authorization agreement for the smart assistant." Zhao Min handed the authorization agreement to Gao Zhendong: "You can take it back and read it. If you feel fine after reading it, you can sign it at any time."

Gao Zhendong took over the agreement. Now it seems that the other party is more anxious than them. For them, this is a good thing, which shows that they have the opportunity to take the initiative in future cooperation.

The agreement was in English, and the female assistant next to Gao Zhendong took the agreement and began to read it carefully.

Not long after, the female assistant's expression changed slightly, she handed the agreement to Gao Zhendong, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gao Zhendong, who was originally in a good mood, immediately froze his smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Min asked strangely.

Xiao Yu beside her also had a smile on her lips, she realized that if Zhao Min didn't act, it would be a waste.

"Mr. Zhao, is there something wrong with this agreement?" Gao Zhendong said after taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"What's wrong?" Jin Zhizhang also looked at the female assistant.

The female assistant put the authorization agreement in front of Jin Zhizhang, pointing to one of the clauses on it.

After seeing the content of the terms and conditions, Jin Zhizhang's complacent face froze, and his cheeks twitched, and immediately turned from sunny to cloudy.

They were in a good mood just now, but after seeing clearly the requirements of the agreement, their mood was like heaven falling into hell, and they felt like they were being tricked.

"Did you print the wrong agreement?" Zhao Min looked at Xiao Yu.

"No, it's the authorization agreement of the smart assistant you mentioned." Xiao Yu blinked and said, her face was a little rosy, she didn't have Zhao Min's ability to deceive people and pretend that nothing happened.

"That should be right." Zhao Min looked at Gao Zhendong: "Is there any problem with the agreement? You can ask any questions."

"The authorization fee is 21.4% of the price of the whole machine? Is it too high?" Gao Zhendong asked through gritted teeth.

Such a high licensing fee is obviously a signal that they don't want to cooperate.

This is not good news.

"Is it high? As far as I know, at present, a $400 smartphone needs to pay about $50 for WiFi patent fees. WiFi costs $50, and our smart assistant charges $85. It doesn't seem wrong, right?

Calculated at 85 US dollars, it is more than 500 Huaxia coins. It is quite a one-time purchase of a smart assistant for two years, and you will use it until the phone breaks.Is this price high? "Zhao Min said a little 'at a loss'.

"Mr. Zhao, can't it be calculated like this?" Gao Zhendong felt sullen in his heart.

Originally, Zhao Min said that he would authorize them, and he was happy, but he was hanged in mid-air just as he went up, unable to get up, unable to get down, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"That's not the way to calculate it, so tell me how to calculate it?" Zhao Min asked curiously.

"Mr. Zhao, we don't buy a small amount individually, but all mobile phones must use this technology. If you buy in bulk, there must be an ex-factory price, not a container price, right?"

Gao Zhendong was almost pissed off by Zhao Min. He didn't believe that Zhao Min managed the Marching Army Ant Company to the current scale, and he didn't even understand these things.

"Is this the way to count?" Zhao Min said in surprise, "Then I'll give you a 19.2% discount, [-]% of the price of the whole machine."

"I……"

Gao Zhendong had the urge to swear at this moment, but he was forced to hold back.

"This price is already very low. If Mr. Gao doesn't accept this price, then we can't negotiate." Zhao Min said.

Is it low?Is the price low?

19.2% of the price of the whole machine, even if it is calculated at 3500 per mobile phone, the patent fee they have to pay to Marching Army Ant Company for a mobile phone is nearly 700 yuan.

The entire profit of their mobile phone is not so much.Even if the price is raised, the profit they get is not so much.If the licensing agreement is signed, all the profits from their mobile phone business will fall into the pockets of the army ants, which means they work for the army ants.

"Mr. Zhao, this price is too high and we can't accept it. We can give 3% of the price of the whole phone at most." Gao Zhennan said: "3% is already a lot. According to the price of our mobile phone, on average, it should exceed 100 yuan a piece. Taiwan, according to our annual mobile phone shipments, you will at least increase your income by at least 230 billion per year."

"Sounds tempting."

"Indeed, our company's mobile phone shipments were number one last year." Gao Zhendong said proudly.

"The amount of your shipment has nothing to do with us." Zhao Min shook his head, pointing to the agreement in the hands of the female assistant: "The authorization agreement has been given to you, 3% is impossible, and the price will not be lowered."

"Mr. Zhao, is there no other way? Or if you authorize us to disclose the code of the smart assistant to us, we can consider giving you 10% of the price of the whole machine." Gao Zhendong looked at Zhao Min expectantly: " Our annual mobile phone shipments exceed [-] million units, and it is a mid-to-high-end market, so there is a lot of money in it.”

"Hehe." Zhao Min sneered unabashedly: "With such a small amount of money, do you want our smart code? Are you too good at dreaming?"

The technology of their smart assistant has not applied for a patent, the technology is not public, many people want to get their smart code, and there have been espionage incidents before, but no one has ever succeeded.

Just like the seismograph, Chen Mo wanted to apply for a patent for the seismograph, but she stopped it.The advantage of a patent is that it has a legal monopoly within a certain period of time, but it means that the core technology is disclosed, and in the end it is others who are cheaper.

At present, the core technology of Marching Ant Company has not been made public.Maybe the people above know some of their artificial intelligence technology, because Chen Mo has traded with the above, and she knows it too.

It is a dream for Gao Zhendong to use this little money to get the code of their smart assistant.

Chen Mo is the only person who can see the complete smart code in the company.Other R&D personnel only have the right to call the code of a module, and it is not the core code.

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that your authorization fees for other companies are not that high." Jin Zhizhang said with a frown.

He knew that Zhao Min might be a lot trickier than he imagined.

"Who is this?"

After the robot translated Jin Zhizhang's words, Zhao Min turned his attention to Gao Zhendong.

"He is Jin Zhizhang, deputy director of our marketing department." Gao Zhendong said.

"And you know that I authorized other companies for less than this price? Who did you hear that from?" Zhao Min asked.

The authorization agreement is kept confidential to the outside world, and it is impossible for people from several companies to casually say these things to others, otherwise she doesn't mind terminating the authorization.

"Guess! It is impossible for any company to bear such a high licensing fee." Jin Zhizhang said.

"And then? What do you want to say?"

"You're abusing your dominant position in the monopoly market by doing this, right? It's not good to deliberately suppress us, isn't it?" Jin Zhizhang frowned, his tone a little displeased.

After hearing the robot's translation, Zhao Min smiled and stared at Jin Zhizhang: "Monopoly? Suppression? I think too much. Then what? You want to sue us?"

"..."

"Mr. Zhao, let's take this authorization agreement back for a closer look, and then contact you after we decide. However, the authorization fee is indeed too high. It would be great if it could be lower." Gao Zhendong said hastily, Interrupt Jin Zhizhang who just wanted to speak.
