Chapter 342
The price has already reached 100 million, no matter what Hisashi Matsuyama called it, it must be more than 100 million.
At this time, Hisashi Matsuyama really regretted a little. He regretted that he had listened to the head office too much. After several days of investigation, Hisashi Matsuyama and the head office both got the news that Guo Tailai did design the car model by himself, not making white gloves for anyone.
If he had talked with Guo Tailai seriously and started talking directly from 50 million, maybe around 80 million would have won the design of this Model T car. At least more than 50 million, has shown their sincerity, it will not be the previous two insulting prices of 1 million and 5 million.
Now, Hisashi Matsuyama has to face the current asking price of 100 million yuan. How determined Audi is to win the Model T, and how much it needs to be called is appropriate.
"One hundred and one million." Hisashi Matsuyama hadn't spoken yet, but Nissan next to him had already called out a price again.
Hisashi Matsuyama turned his head and watched the representative of Nissan staring intently at the auction host, his eyes almost burst into flames. Nissan already has a GTR high-performance sports car, which has excellent handling and acceleration performance. It has been developed for several generations, so why do you want to grab the T-model car? You don't play with the rotor?
"105 million." Hisashi Matsuyama finally opened his mouth and bid a price again.
"106 million." The representative of Nissan almost immediately called for a higher price.
The two sides are bidding against each other here, and Wan Ming and Long Fei, who are watching from the side, are almost going to be stupid. The price exceeds 100 million? However, Guo Tailai said that Longfei has contributed a lot to this model, so he will enjoy a 5% dividend, and Wan Ming will also get 1% for running errands. Calculated in this way, the two of them can get at least five million and one million dollars before tax. Is this a dream?
Although Wan Ming is a rich second generation, he doesn't care about money, but he doesn't make much money with his own hands. Now just because he participated in Guo Tailai's project, helping to order and coordinate things, he can actually earn one million dollars, which is happier than his father giving him ten million yuan!
Long Fei usually likes to play motorcycles. He has good modification skills, but he doesn't have much money, so he can only hang out with Wan Ming. Wan Ming went to school, so this time he followed Guo Tai to play with the car, not to mention the enjoyment of the game, he actually got five million dollars in his account, and suddenly changed from a poor and lower-middle peasant to a millionaire. This change made Long Fei not know what to do on the spot It was done, and he stared at the heads in the auction in a daze, without moving for a long time.
Guo Tailai performed better, at least he knew before that that the price must be more than 50 million US dollars. Seeing that the price has reached 100 million, Guo Tailai knows that even this exaggerated price is only a small amount of money for the development of a new model of a large manufacturer. In fact, the major manufacturers still bully him as a newcomer and private individual, and did not raise the price to the real price.
For the time being, Guo Tailai will not be dissatisfied. In the automobile industry, Guo Tailai is really a newcomer. In this society of intrigues and deceptions, why should others give you normal treatment? More than 100 million, no matter how much, Guo Tailai can already accept it with a smile.
"112 million." After struggling for a while, the representative of Nissan finally called out another price when the host shouted for the second time.
"115 million!" Hisashi Matsuyama was very determined, and immediately added 3 million, staring at the representative of Nissan.
The Nissan representative finally flinched, throwing his hands up in a gesture of abandonment. Hisato Matsuyama looked around, and the manufacturers in Europe and America were basically watching them scramble for it. Seeing that the Nissan representative had withdrawn, there was no excitement, and they all started to discuss it.
The host didn't ask Hisahisa Matsuyama to wait. After shouting twice in a professional manner according to the normal rhythm, he pointed at Hisashi Matsuyama and dropped the hammer heavily.
"115 million for the third time, a deal, congratulations to Mazda!" The host took the lead in applauding.
There was a lot of applause at the scene, and Hisashi Matsuyama let out a sigh of relief, and clapped his hands lightly. It's too risky. If Nissan adds more, I'm afraid it will break through the 120 million US dollars requested by the head office.
The next step is naturally the competition between the two licensed manufacturers of the chassis and the gearbox. Before the auction, the host also introduced some prerequisites. This time, only two manufacturers are authorized, and with Mazda, there are three. However, Guo Tailai retained one more authorization and did not sell it. In other words, there will only be four authorizations for these two technologies in the world, and no more.
"Does Mr. G plan to produce the reserved authorization by himself?" A manufacturer immediately asked. If the developer wants to use it himself, then of course there is no problem, but if it is licensed to others for free, that is another matter.
"I will sell this license in China." Guo Tailai didn't hide anything. He reserved this license for the domestic market. It doesn't make sense that foreign manufacturers can use it, but domestic companies can't use it.
Representatives of some interested manufacturers gathered to discuss for a while, and then made a request: "If this is the case, we have a small request. Mr. G, your authorization in China, the price cannot be lower than our two The average value of the license. And this clause must be implemented in the license contract.”
"Yes!" Guo Tailai didn't think about it for too long, although this request was a bit forced, Guo Tailai still agreed. None of the domestic manufacturers have asked these questions from the beginning to the end, so why give them for nothing? Do you want to stick your hot face to someone's cold ass? Guo Tailai is not cheap.
The competition for the next two licensees is not very fierce. It seems that all parties have a tacit understanding. North American Ford won one, European Porsche won one, and counting Mazda, basically one each from Europe, America and Asia. Of course, there will be one in China.
Porsche got a relatively cheap price of 11 million US dollars, and Ford got a bit more expensive price of 15 million US dollars. So far, the auction has come to an end. The Model T car design plus two technology authorizations have sold a total of 100 million US dollars. Forty-one million dollars.
The 5% commission for the auction house is 7.05 million, the 10% service fee for Christina Company is 14.1 million, the 5% for Longfei’s new model is 5.75 million, Wan Ming 1.15 million. After deducting these times, Guo Tailai received a total of 112.95 million US dollars before tax in this auction.
The exact news finally came back to China two days later. In fact, what really attracted domestic attention was that Mazda, after verifying the authenticity of the design on the second day after signing the contract, couldn't wait to announce that the super-configured version of the RX-7 had been put on the agenda. I have seen it, so there is no need to keep it secret, so I announced it directly.
"How much? More than 140 million? U.S. dollars?" Zhao Xiangbei already knew that Fatty would definitely play big, but he never thought that he could play so big.
