Niu Xiaoqiang made a very comprehensive understanding of Packard's patented technology, and after reading the information, he turned his head to Sam and asked: "Mr. Sam, I heard what you said before, you seem to be very disgusted with Packard selling these patents, I don't know why?"

Sam sighed: "It's not that I don't know the predicament that the company is facing, to be honest, I am not against selling these patents, but the price of selling them is too low, I think it is very unworthwhile, these technologies are developed under my leadership and leadership, they are like my children, but I am a member of the company, if the company needs it, of course I can contribute them, but I can't stand the pressure of other car companies, which makes me feel insulted." ”

Sam said here and picked up the first document bag: "For example, the No. 1 patent, this is a complete set of technology for the V16 engine, it took me three years and a lot of effort to develop it, although there are not perfect, but according to my expectations, the buyout price of this technology should not be less than 15 million US dollars, but whether it is Ford or GM, their offer has never exceeded 5 million US dollars, more than twice the market price, do you say such an offer I can accept?"

Niu Xiaoqiang can understand Sam's feelings very well, to put it bluntly, people are purely bullying customers in the store, and forcibly lowering the price with their strong strength, which is somewhat of a bit of a robbery.

Sam's character would not allow him to accept such a thing, and even if the company did go bankrupt, he would not accept such an insulting offer.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and said very sincerely: "If it were me, I would never accept this kind of banditry." ”

Sam saw Packard's face on the side's embarrassed face, so he helped to explain: "I can't blame you for this matter, I know the company's situation, you really have no way to agree to the other party's offer, alas, it's all your father's fault, but in the end, you have to help him bear the consequences, little Packard, it's really not easy for you." ”

Packard's eyes were a little red, and he felt sour from the bottom of his heart when he thought back to what he had been going through all these years. In front of everyone, Packard didn't act too cowardly. I saw him squeeze out a smile: "Uncle Sam has really worked hard all these years, if it weren't for your firm support for me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on a long time ago." ”

Sam patted Packard on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction, "This is what I should do, and I am also a shareholder of the company, and I should contribute to the company." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated: "Mr. Sam is a shareholder?"

Packard explained: "I signed a private agreement with Uncle Sam to transfer him five percent of the shares, and you can rest assured that these shares will be deducted from my shares and will not affect you. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed, and thought to himself: In this way, there are three shareholders of Packard Automobile Company, I own 85% of the company's shares, Packard owns 10%, and Sam owns 5%.

Sam is a very straightforward person, and he asks directly, "Boss, I wonder what you have in mind for the development of the company?"

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately replied: " The first thing to do is to expand the company's existing modified car business, and strive to create more profits for the company, to pay the interest on the loan that is about to expire, followed by these patented technologies, I have a hunter company under my name that specializes in making profits by transferring patents, I am ready to take these patents over, let professionals sell them, rest assured, I will not sell these technologies, only through licensing to earn royalties, and finally about the new car production plan, this plan needs to cost a lot of money, if it is put into production in the United States, it is not too realistic, my idea is to be Packard Automobile Company to come forward, and I signed an OEM contract with my domestic car factoryChina's labor costs are very low, as long as we can sell the produced cars back to the United States, we are still very competitive in terms of price. ”

Sam hesitated: "China's industrial level doesn't seem to be very good, are you sure that your domestic car factories can guarantee that there are no problems with quality?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Quality is the focus of my attention, for the manufacturing industry, quality is the lifeline, I have formed a very effective quality control mechanism in the domestic automobile factory, with a lot of experience in quality management, I believe there will be no problems." ”

Sam reminded: "Packard Automobile Company is going downhill step by step because of quality problems, and I hope that Mr. Niu can further improve the quality, otherwise we will still follow the old path." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, and changed the conversation: "Mr. Sam, I don't know how long it will take to develop a brand new car?"

Sam thought for a moment, then replied, "From the beginning of the design to the final draft, it will take about a year at the earliest." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang has designed heavy trucks and knows how tedious it is to design a brand new car. This is a huge system project, and all factors must be taken into account, otherwise problems will easily occur.

A year is a very fast time, that is, a master like Sam, it is impossible to do it with someone else.

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Then please start the design work from now on, I will assist from the side, if possible, we had better launch multiple models at one time, customers have more choices, sales can naturally increase." ”

Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang had easily made a plan for the new car, Packard couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Niu, is this a bit of a rush? We still owe the bank $37 million in loans that have not been repaid, where can we have the money to put a new car into production?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "I will take some time to talk to them at the bank, and strive to let them extend the repayment period of the loan, I am responsible for this matter, Mr. Packard does not have to worry about it, you just need to do your current job." ”

Packard is currently in charge of the tuning car business, which is also his biggest source of funding, and without the profits of the tuning car business, Packard Auto would have been doomed long ago.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sorted out the information bag containing the patent and put it into his backpack, then turned his head and asked: "Mr. Packard, we need to plan the modified car business well, can you find a place, let's sit down and talk slowly?"

There are no meeting rooms, only a staff lounge, but the environment is not very good. Packard thought about it, and finally returned to the office with Niu Xiaoqiang.
