Jiang Chen gently pushed the file in front of Pritzker.
Pritzker leaned forward and glanced at the document. When he saw the long list of names, his brows twitched slightly, and he spoke in a casual tone.
"These companies... are you going to buy them all?"
"Of course not. Even with the financial resources of the Future Group, it is impossible to buy all the companies listed in this document." Jiang Chen waved his hand and continued, "We only have this intention. But you know , where you do business, you have to abide by the rules of the game.”
"The rules of the game? That's a matter for the Foreign Investment Committee, and our Ministry of Commerce can't control that far." Pritzker shook his head and said.
"Mr. Pritzker, let's stop beating around the bush, it will only waste the time of both of us. You invited us here, certainly not just to let the Future Group go through the motions, but to think a few words for closer cooperation with Silicon Valley. Opening remarks for an hour?" Jiang Chen spread his hands, then tapped the documents on the table with his fingers, "My sincerity has been placed on the table, I hope to see your sincerity."
Although the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States involves 8 executive departments and 7 White House agencies, if there is a disagreement, the president will eventually need to personally make an arbitration. But as long as it does not involve the three major factors of US defense production capacity, sales and resale of military technology to specific countries, and whether it affects the US's technological leadership in the field of national security, it is only the Department of Commerce that makes the final decision.
Jiang Chen, who had done enough homework beforehand, was keenly aware that Pritzker was avoiding this topic.
This also shows from the side that the Ministry of Commerce has plans to intervene.
His fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the seat, but Pritzker did not reply, and there was a long silence between the two of them. Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, he had a whole morning to solve this problem.
The young assistant served coffee for the two of them, and Jiang Chen touched the cup lightly with his finger to test the temperature.
At this moment, Pritzker finally spoke and said softly.
"The White House is very happy to see your company cooperate with Silicon Valley companies in technology, but regarding your company's behavior of turning your country's high-tech companies into its own companies...with all due respect, no matter who is president, I am afraid it will not Think it’s a good thing.”
Hearing what Pritzker said, Jiang Chen was not surprised.
Rather, let this old and cunning Minister of Commerce put the problem on the table, and did not beat this Tai Chi down,
It is already a great achievement.
As long as they are willing to talk, it means that the two sides still have the possibility to reach an agreement.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and pushed his right bargaining chip to the negotiating table.
"As you know, there are not only 1,000+ American companies participating in SSIEF, but also 500+ companies from China."
"Of course, SVIEF is oriented towards North America and Asia." Pritzker nodded.
"Then you should also know that I don't have the habit of returning empty-handed." Jiang Chen also smiled, raised three fingers, and continued, "Let me just say it straight, the future development direction of the Future Human Group lies in graphene, Smart healthcare and cloud technology. If the North American market is deadlocked, we will shift our focus to Asian countries that are more willing to cooperate.”
Pritzker's eyes moved slightly. Although it was very subtle, Jiang Chen, whose senses were far superior to ordinary people, still keenly caught this small movement.
Not to mention graphene and cloud technology, the significance of smart healthcare to the federal government is quite critical.
Since the Obama era, the Democratic Party has been actively promoting medical reform to improve domestic medical conditions. Unfortunately, during his administration, Comrade Guan Hai encountered the largest fiscal deficit in the history of the United States, accounting for more than 12% of the U.S. GDP, which is the highest ratio of fiscal deficit to economic aggregate since World War II. There is no money to promote medical reform .
Moreover, the reform of the medical insurance system has always been one of the most disagreeable issues between the Democratic and Republican parties. The two parties have very different opinions on the causes and solutions of the sharp increase in domestic medical costs.
The success of the beta-4 medical drone in Penglai City has attracted the attention of all countries. And this high-tech conference, many companies in the United States are also aiming to introduce this advanced medical drone.
As far as the White House is concerned, although beta-4 does not help alleviate domestic drug prices from being among the highest in the world, it can effectively reduce the cost of seeing a doctor for the American people. If this convenient and efficient drone is introduced in the clinic, Americans will be as easy to see a doctor as to call the police. They only need to make a phone call to call the beta-4 drone deployed in the community clinic to their home.
For businesses, the cost of acquiring drones is significantly less than paying salaries for redundant doctors. For the federal government, it can save a large amount of financial subsidies for medical treatment every year.
Although it will definitely be protested by the American Medical Association (doctors' union), it will definitely be welcomed by all "Americans who are troubled by the difficulty of seeing a doctor".
"It's absolutely fine for you to sell drones. The United States is a free market. As long as your products are safe, we won't set up too many obstacles for you like some countries do." Priezker said, "And The same goes for graphene and cloud technology. But I don't understand, what does this have to do with your acquisition plans?"
Of course, it is for pricing power, as well as the sales resources of those companies themselves, and some technologies they are interested in.
For example, if the Future Group wants to sell the beta-4 drones to major private hospitals, it is impossible to recruit and send salesmen from Future Group to knock on the door and negotiate one by one. This is not only inefficient, but also very slow to promote.
As for expecting companies to come to buy them themselves, I am afraid it will be less efficient. After all, not all companies are willing to take that risk to change their existing business models. This seems to be the reason why most companies are still producing silicon-based electronic devices even though graphene materials are excellent in all aspects. Even though Intel bought the patent license from Jiang Chen, it did not completely stop developing higher performance. Development of silicon-based chips.
When Watt invented the steam engine, it did not mean that all the textile mills in Great Britain changed their equipment overnight. Even in the late industrial revolution, no one dared to say that the penetration rate of the steam engine had reached 100%.
Wait and see first, if the peers use it well, then adjust slowly, this is the safest approach.
In addition, beta-4 is different from the banned hummingbird drone. It was completely developed by technicians here in the world, and its own technical content is the most advanced. If other companies imitate similar products during this period, even if the effect cannot reach the level of beta-4, as long as the sales are done well and the price is kept low, they can still take a lot of market share from Future Heavy Industries. share.
Only by seizing the high ground of the market in the shortest time can we maximize the benefits!
Either seek a partner, or buy directly!
Future Group has the capital, and in order to control the pricing power, Jiang Chen will of course choose the latter.
From the perspective of beta-4 drones alone, if Future Group can acquire a pharmaceutical company, use its own partnership with major hospitals, as well as its experience in the industry of pills and medical equipment, to do The promotion of this beta-4 is definitely much easier than setting up a new subsidiary company from the beginning to the end of the Future Group.
The same is true for graphene and cloud technology.
It is precisely because of this that the negotiations between Jiang Chen and the US Department of Commerce have reached a deadlock. (To be continued.)
