Chapter 1800 Cooperation with Hua 0

"This guesthouse is similar to the well house, with one built at intervals, but this one is to be built a bit larger."

"In addition to housing our few employees, we also need to build more rooms to serve as guesthouses."

"This way, when tourists come to visit, they can choose to stay in these guesthouses, which are close to the desert, and the guesthouses we build will definitely be better than the hotels in town."

"........"

Wei Yan explained his thoughts in detail, saying that even without the plan to build a bed and breakfast, the well house would still be built.

After all, the ring road is so large, it definitely needs to be equipped with a well house to be responsible for the maintenance of the surrounding road sections.

In that case, why not build the well house bigger and convert it into a bed and breakfast?

In this way, they can keep an eye on the nearby roads and also increase their income through the guesthouse.

"Yes, this plan is good."

Li Shen nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Then tomorrow we'll gather all the managers together to implement our plan, and we'll also need a group of employees to do the work of cultivating the green plants."

Wei Yan thought for a moment, then spoke.

"Well, I'll arrange it right away."

Li Shen nodded upon hearing this, then took out his phone and began sending the message about tomorrow's meeting to the work group.

Seeing this, Wei Yan did not linger in the office any longer, but quickly left. The installation of the photovoltaic power generation was nearing completion, and he wanted to go and take a look.

...................

A few days later,

Kyoto,

Inside the chairman's office of Hualing Group

"Mr. Du, the batteries I mailed should have already been tested, right?"

Chang Zishan sat in the reception area and looked at Du Ye sitting opposite her, asking a question.

Ruishang Group was once one of the five major groups in the Xialian Chamber of Commerce, so he was quite familiar with the chairman of Hualing Group in front of him.

Before Ruishang Group was expelled from the Xialian Chamber of Commerce, she had greeted them several times.

This time, however, the other party was still the chairman of Hualing Group, while she was no longer the heiress of Ruishang Group.

"I've already tried it, and the battery life is amazing."

"But aren't you afraid that once I get my hands on this battery, I'll immediately assign technicians to develop it?"

Du Ye placed a small battery on the table, but the battery surface showed obvious signs of damage.

"Mr. Du, isn't this battery design the best possible outcome?"

Chang Zishan gestured with her eyes towards the damaged battery.

Before mailing the battery, she had already instructed the R&D department to take protective measures, making it impossible to open.

Once opened, the battery will self-destruct. After self-destruction, it will be impossible to develop their battery technology based on the self-destructed battery.

That's why she felt comfortable mailing the batteries over.

Although Hualing Group and Tomorrow Group have cooperated before, in business, there are no permanent friends. As long as the interests are sufficient, even friends can become enemies.

And indeed, after learning of the battery's value, Du Ye did conduct research on it.

"Another point is that we have already applied for patents and copyrights for this battery technology, so if Mr. Du really wants to use this technology, he will need our permission."

"I never expected that you would be the most capable one in the Chang family. It's a pity that if Chang Zai had entrusted the management of Ruishang Group to you back then, it wouldn't have ended up in bankruptcy."

Du Ye looked at Chang Zishan sitting opposite him and couldn't help but sigh.

While the downfall of Ruishang Group may have been fueled by their actions, the root cause was ultimately its poor management.

Ruishang Group was once much more successful than his Hualing Group. At that time, his business could not even be considered a group. It was only with the rise of the mobile phone industry that he was able to rise to prominence.

In terms of heritage and foundation, it is absolutely no match for Ruishang Group.

Yet, this very group ultimately went bankrupt.

No dynasty lasts forever. Although his Hualing Group is thriving now, who can guarantee that it will stay that way forever?

"Mr. Du, there's no point in talking about this now. Let's discuss the cooperation instead."

Chang Zishan smiled slightly, showing no emotional fluctuation at Du Ye's words.

She visited her father a few days ago, and he was generally fine. She also talked about her work at Tomorrow Group.

Because of the family's bankruptcy, the younger brother has toned down his old ways and recently found a job.

Overall, she has no complaints about her current life.

"Sure, may I ask how Mr. Chang plans to cooperate?"

Upon hearing this, Du Ye's gaze returned to a serious expression. He couldn't use the battery technology right now, so the only option left was cooperation.

"We will be responsible for the production of the batteries. Mr. Du will only need to provide 5% of the profits from the sale of the phones using these batteries."

"Of course, the funds required for battery production also need to be provided by Mr. Du."

Chang Zishan slowly stated her conditions.

"Mr. Chang is joking. If the profit margin is 5%, then the money I make by using batteries will be less than the money I make by not using batteries. Why would I use batteries?"

"President Chang, since we're going to cooperate, let's be more sincere, otherwise there's nothing to talk about."

As Du Ye spoke, he pushed the damaged battery on the table over.

Chang Zishan smiled upon hearing this, explaining that her offer of a 5% profit margin was merely a test.

"Since Mr. Du is not satisfied with my terms, why don't you tell me what kind of terms Mr. Chang can accept?"

“We can provide the energy needed to produce batteries, but we won’t discuss profit sharing. Instead, I will pay your company a technology buyout fee of 10 billion yuan per year.”

Du Ye shared his thoughts.

"Mr. Du, since you said you wanted to be more sincere, I can't see any sincerity in your terms."

"Putting everything else aside, just this battery technology alone could generate more than 10 billion yuan in revenue annually if we were to produce power banks."

"I came here first to discuss cooperation because of the friendly cooperative relationship between Tomorrow Group and your group."

"Since Mr. Du is not honest, then we can go to other mobile phone companies. I believe that other mobile phone companies will give me a satisfactory price after seeing my battery."

After Chang Zishan finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the office without lingering.

She said it was good; if Shen Rou hadn't suggested it, she might not have approached Hualing Group to discuss cooperation.

"Why is Mr. Chang in such a hurry? Since you are not satisfied with my terms, can we talk again?"

Seeing that Chang Zishan got up to leave without saying a word, Du Ye quickly spoke up.
