Chapter 139 (2/2)

Kodak personnel did not expect that the first quotation of black cloud company was sincere. To be honest, they really did not want to keep the digital camera department. At this time, they did not want to keep the digital camera, even the traditional camera. Kodak's own optical foundation is weak. Most cameras use Schneider branded lenses.

Making their cameras can't sell RB's and Germany's similar products, handing in the paper is Kodak's strength and core department, and it is also the main profit point to support Kodak's progress.

Kodak is a listed company. It doesn't reply and make decisions so quickly for many things. The two sides agreed to continue the negotiation tomorrow. Baozixuan knew they were going to have a meeting to discuss it. The personnel of heiyun group left Kodak and went to the hotel to have a rest.

In the Kodak conference room, Eric Eastman introduced the black cloud scheme to the board of directors. Everyone began to discuss.

A director said: ”now the digital camera department is losing money every year. It is impossible to achieve profitability in more than 15 years. Why don't we package and sell the technology and patents to black cloud! However, there is also a requirement that heiyun group shall not enter the relevant industries such as submission and film. We have one less competitor. They have obtained the technology and personnel of Carl Zeiss in East Germany. It's really easy to enter this industry. Moreover, the labor cost of Xiangjiang is cheaper than Rb, less than half of that of the United States. How can we compete at that time. We will be very passive, which also bought us an insurance. ”

We think it is very reasonable. In fact, this is also the result of the lawyer team's tackling key problems. This is the advantage of leaving it to professionals for negotiation. If steamed stuffed bun Xuan bought it at the right price, he would suffer some losses for the time being. Anyway, he could earn it back several times in the future.

Next, another director said: ”we can retain the right to use the technology, that is, we sell the patents and technologies to heiyun group, and then Kodak can enter whenever it wants to enter the digital camera. It is equivalent to that heiyun is authorizing Kodak after purchasing the technology, but Kodak can only produce it by itself and can not authorize a third party.”

It is the price that requires the negotiation team to connect with black cloud, but there is a premise that we must ensure the interests of Kodak.

The next morning, the negotiations continued. Kodak proposed that it could sell the patents and technologies of digital cameras to heiyun group, but retained the independent use right of Kodak. In the future, Kodak can enter the digital field at any time, but this quota shall not be resold or authorized to a third party. The price is US $40 million. Heiyun group shall not engage in paper production and develop related businesses for life.

Finally, after bargaining, the lawyer finally set the price at $34.5 million, and Kodak sold the technology and patents to blackcloud. What baozixuan has to do now is to take these people to Boston. After all, it's not very convenient here. Fortunately, there are only 34 technicians in Kodak digital department, and they are unpopular marginal figures in the company.

In this way, some people still don't want to leave Rochette. It's hard to give up all their families here for a while. Heiyun took 26 engineers away from Kodak. There's no way. After all, it's hard to leave home.

The good news is that Steven Cezanne, the inventor of digital camera, agreed to join heiyun group. Baozixuan is very happy. With the father of digital camera, I believe that heiyun digital camera can be successfully developed soon.

Steven Cezanne has always been ahead of this era in the research and development of CCD photoreceptors. After communicating with Steven Cezanne, baozixuan appointed him as the chief engineer of the research and development of heiyun digital camera, so that Hashimoto only needs to guarantee the logistics work.

Now the main components of the black cloud digital camera have been allocated, as long as everyone performs their duties; After meeting the design requirements, the whole machine can be combined. As for the software, Bao Zixuan is responsible for writing it himself.

Now the top priority is to finalize the digital camera. He has long thought about this. It must be more reliable to find a professional photographer.
