Chapter XXIX: Justified Extortion
Seeing the excitement on the faces of several people that could not be concealed, Jensen smiled. Although the price of 1300 million US dollars is a bit expensive, it is nothing compared to this epoch-making technology.
What's more, Jensen and SPX's researchers were pleasantly surprised. This technology is actually highly compatible with a major project they are working on, and even solves many problems that have been bothering them for them.
This is also the reason why he decisively gave up his vacation and flew to Hangzhou urgently.
But what he didn't expect was that Wu Hao quickly woke up from that excited state, and then looked at him with a smile.
Seeing this, Jensen smiled and asked, "Wu, are you satisfied with our agreement?" ”
Wu Hao smiled and didn't answer, but looked at him and said, "Mr. Jensen, as far as I know, your company is mainly engaged in the aerospace and automobile industries, and it doesn't seem that we need this technology very much."
Hearing his words, Jensen shook his head and said, "No, Wu, in fact, we can use your technology in many fields.
For example, driverless car technology, your technology can help us a lot and open up a new way of thinking for us. ”
Wu Hao nodded and continued to smile: "What else?" ”
For his question, Jensen was a little puzzled, but still smiled: "For example, in the field of drone intelligent logistics and transportation, I am also very interested." ”
"What else?" Wu Hao looked at him and continued to ask.
"Huh?"
Wu Hao's continued questioning made Jensen frown: "Wu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Wu Hao didn't answer, but looked at him and smiled: "I haven't congratulated you and your company yet, congratulations on your successful launch of sixty satellites."
Yesterday I also read a photo on Weibo, where a bright star band appeared in the vast night sky, which was really spectacular. ”
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Jensen's face changed instantly. Although it was only for a moment, Wu Hao still caught it keenly.
Sure enough, he guessed right.
Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then continued to say with a smile: "The 'Starlink' plan, I originally thought that this was only in the experimental stage, but I didn't expect it to be officially implemented so soon. And it happened 60 at a time, so it seems that your company is very confident in your technology. ”
"What do you want to say?" Jensen leaned forward, then stared at him with a serious expression.
Wu Hao shook his head when he saw this, then leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "Mr. Jensen, don't you think that compared to the huge 'Starlink' system facilitated by 12,000 communication satellites, this $130 million is too cheap. ”
"You're blackmail!" Jensen listened to the translation and yelled at him.
Jensen's sudden anger not only made Wu Hao and the others, but even the translator next to him startled, and then cautiously translated at Wu Hao, for fear that Wu Hao would also be angry.
What she didn't expect was that Wu Hao didn't get angry, but replied lightly: "But it's reasonable, isn't it?" ”
"No, it doesn't make sense."
Jensen hurriedly shook his head and said, "Wu, 1300 million US dollars is definitely a very sincere price, believe me, you can't get a higher price except for us." ”
Wu Hao didn't rush to reply, but took a sip of water slowly, and then looked at him and said, "That's not necessarily, there are many people who are willing to spend a lot of money on this technology." For example, Gu GO, Amazon, W Soft, and some of our domestic technology companies, such as Dajiang, where we are going to meet at night.
You've probably heard of these names, and they salivate over the technology. It won't be the $130 million price by then, and I think that's what you should understand. ”
Hearing his words, Jensen did not continue to get angry as others imagined, but fell silent.
After a while, he looked at Wu Hao and said calmly: "Wu, you should understand that without your technology, our project can still be carried out, and this technology is far less important than you think." ”
"Of course, I know you can go ahead. But now that there is more advanced technology, how can people go back to using backward technology?
What's more, this technology can save a considerable amount of money for the entire huge project, and you must know that there is more than one company interested in the STARL project. Wu Hao replied with a smile.
"There's only one company that can launch satellites so cheaply." Jensen was unconvinced.
Wu Hao nodded and smiled: "That's right, but this is only for now, you are not irreplaceable." ”
His words made Jensen stare at him with wide eyes, but surprisingly, Jensen did not get angry, but lowered his head and whispered to a few people next to him.
Seeing this, Wu Hao didn't urge, but sat there and laughed quietly with Zhang Jun and Zou Xiaodong.
Through this conversation between Wu Hao and Jensen, Zhang Jun and the three of them also listened to it. They are not stupid, and naturally know that this number can definitely be improved, so they naturally smile one by one.
After waiting for a while, Jensen said to him, "Wu, how can you guarantee that your technology will definitely be applicable to our project."
In addition, in order to be able to better evaluate this technology, we need relevant information from you.
Only when that's all that is settled, can we move on to the damn price. ”
Wu Hao shook his head when he heard this: "I can provide the information, but whether it is applicable or not, this needs to be evaluated and judged by yourself, and I do not guarantee it."
But one thing I know for sure is that we are the world's leading technology when it comes to cluster array management and control. ”
“OK!”
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Jensen packed up his papers and stood up and said to him: "We need to conduct a more in-depth evaluation of your technology, so today's negotiation will be here first."
We will contact you as soon as possible after receiving the results to continue the meeting. ”
Wu Hao also stood up and said, "No problem, the information will be sent to you later." But I hope you can hurry, because there are a lot of companies waiting for you.
You know, we young people don't have that much patience. ”
Jensen nodded, "We'll get back to you as soon as possible, and strive to get back to you within a week." Good things always need to wait, I hope you have more patience, so you will gain more. ”
"I'm looking forward to it!"
Wu Hao said with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and then said to Jensen: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that we are about to return to Anxi because of some personal matters." If you have a decision, come to us in Anthy. ”
"Oh, Anthy, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Jensen said with a smile.
"yes, then I'm here there!"
