Chapter 204

Li Dongling stated that it is not that Dongling Gao Ke is unwilling to play with PHS technology, but that even if the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company were to give PHS technology to Dongling Gao Ke for free, Dongling Gao Ke might not be willing to use such "backward" technology!

"Technically, it can be changed; the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company is also constantly improving PHS technology!"

Seeing Li Dongling's attitude, Nakamura Takeo could not help but feel anxious. Right now, he is not thinking at all about earning patent fees or anything from Dongling Gao Ke.

As long as he can make Li Dongling "change his mind" and continue to let Dongling Gao Ke play with PHS technology, Nakamura Takeo would be satisfied.

The reality is, if Dongling Gao Ke does not play with PHS technology and holds onto those patents without giving them to the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company to use, it is equivalent to dragging the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company down with them; it would have no way to launch PHS telecommunications services in Japan!

"As long as Dongling Gao Ke is willing to continue researching and developing PHS technology in the mainland, the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company is willing to authorize all PHS patents and technology to Dongling Gao Ke for use in the mainland for free!"

"Moreover, in the future, if the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company develops new PHS technology, it is also willing to let Dongling Gao Ke use it, and is even willing to provide Dongling Gao Ke with an interest-free long-term loan worth 500 million yen for Dongling Gao Ke to use in PHS technology research and development. Dongling Gao Ke can repay this loan whenever the PHS business becomes profitable!"

Nakamura Takeo said this almost through gritted teeth; he was just one step away from saying to Li Dongling, don't force him to kneel down and beg Dongling Gao Ke to continue researching and developing PHS technology.

Authorizing PHS technology and patents to Dongling Gao Ke for free, and also providing Dongling Gao Ke with an interest-free loan worth 500 million yen—which converts to 50 million yuan—if they don't make money in the PHS business, then Dongling Gao Ke can keep using this money indefinitely without having to repay the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company...

To be honest, regarding these conditions, let alone Nakamura Takeo, Ren Yuefeng, who was on the side, could hear that Nakamura Takeo had truly gone all out.

Hearing these words from Nakamura Takeo, a look of hesitation, yet also a bit of "being moved," appeared on Li Dongling's face.

"Dongling Gao Ke has indeed invested quite a lot of research and development funds into PHS technology, whether in communication or terminal equipment.

PHS actually does have some merits; if we abandon it directly, it is indeed a bit of a pity!"

After a few seconds of silence, Li Dongling finally spoke, which also made Nakamura Takeo breathe a long sigh of relief.

"President Nakamura Takeo has expressed his sincerity; if Dongling Gao Ke does not accept it, it would be letting down President Nakamura Takeo's good intentions!"

Li Dongling put on an act of, I originally didn't want it, but since you are forcing it on me, I can only "reluctantly" accept it.

Seeing Li Dongling persuaded and beginning to change his mind, Nakamura Takeo, while breathing a sigh of relief, also had a feeling that something was not quite right.

"However, President Nakamura Takeo, without rules, there is no order. If Dongling Gao Ke continues to 'take the risk' to enter the PHS industry, some rules must be set in advance, lest both sides meet with swords drawn again when the time comes!"

Li Dongling glanced at Ren Yuefeng, who nodded, and then had someone replace the cup of plain boiled water in front of Nakamura Takeo with hot tea.

"What does Mr. Li mean by this?!" Nakamura Takeo could not care about tasting the tea and asked Li Dongling.

"Dongling Gao Ke requires the agency rights for PHS in the mainland for ten years. Within ten years, PHS patents and technology in the mainland will all be represented by Dongling Gao Ke, and in the future, if it can generate revenue, it will also be owned by Dongling Gao Ke. After ten years, Dongling Gao Ke will renegotiate the agency rights for PHS in the mainland with the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company!"

"In addition, Dongling Gao Ke has the right to authorize the PHS patents it holds to other overseas telecommunications companies besides Japan. Of course, for PHS revenue overseas, Dongling Gao Ke and the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company will each collect 50% of the revenue!"

Li Dongling said to Nakamura Takeo that Dongling Gao Ke would obtain the PHS patents in the mainland for ten years. During this period, no matter how much money Dongling Gao Ke makes, it has nothing to do with the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company.

As for after ten years, by that time 3G technology will almost be here, the spring of smartphones will already be visible, and the Xiaolingtong will have long since become ubiquitous. By the day the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company wants to collect PHS patent fees from Dongling Gao Ke, Dongling Gao Ke will have to still have this business for that to happen!

Regarding the two conditions proposed by Li Dongling, Nakamura Takeo had no objection to the first one, the exclusive agency rights for PHS in the mainland for ten years.

Whether PHS can survive in Japan is still a question, let alone in the mainland. It is already good that Li Dongling is willing to play with PHS technology; how could Nakamura Takeo dare to be picky.

It was just the second condition, that Dongling Gao Ke also has the right to authorize PHS technology to overseas telecommunications companies, which made Nakamura Takeo inevitably worry a little. If one day PHS really makes money, this loophole might cause the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company to lose out on who knows how much money.

Seeing Nakamura Takeo hesitating, Li Dongling's expression suddenly turned cold, "President Nakamura Takeo, Dongling Gao Ke has already shown its sincerity. Additionally, I was originally prepared to give the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company a big gift, but now your attitude makes me have to reconsider this cooperation between the two companies!"

"The Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company agrees to Dongling Gao Ke's conditions!"

Nakamura Takeo gritted his teeth and said. Li Dongling dared to break the pot, but he didn't dare. Earning a little less is still better than not earning anything. If Dongling Gao Ke really doesn't play with PHS and doesn't let the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company play either, then the money he invested earlier would all go down the drain.

Li Dongling raised his teacup and signaled to Nakamura Takeo. The two raised their cups, which counted as agreeing to this cooperation.

Watching Nakamura Takeo sign the cooperation intent agreement, which set a huge amount for breach of contract, if they were to breach the contract, even the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, with its deep pockets, would have to cut off a large piece of meat.

After Nakamura Takeo finished signing, a smile appeared on Li Dongling's face. He took a box from Ren Yuefeng's hand and placed it in front of Nakamura Takeo.

"This is one of the achievements of Dongling Gao Ke's PHS technology research and development. Previously, we were not prepared to promote it, but now that Dongling Gao Ke and the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company have reached an agreement, this Xiaolingtong mobile phone will also be a gift for President Nakamura Takeo!"

Looking at the box in front of him, Nakamura Takeo's heart jumped violently a few times. For a moment, he was actually a bit hesitant about whether to open the box in front of him.

Finally, Nakamura Takeo gritted his teeth and opened the box. Inside the box, a mobile phone with a silver casing lay quietly.

At the first sight of the Xiaolingtong, Nakamura Takeo could not help but have a feeling that this machine was truly "beautiful." Japan has not yet entered the 2G era, and although there are already some compact mobile phones, even the most compact Motorola J51 machine appeared quite bulky compared to the Xiaolingtong in front of him.

Picking up the machine, after it was in his hand, Nakamura Takeo felt a sense of touch; it was not the feeling of ordinary plastic. After exploring it once, Nakamura Takeo turned on the machine, and a pleasant piece of music played, followed by the appearance of the Xiaolingtong LOGO.

Although it was a Chinese operating interface, Nakamura Takeo could still understand it. As long as people in Japan have been exposed to calligraphy, or are in professions like lawyers or doctors, they have all learned Chinese. They might not be proficient, but reading the general idea is no problem.

"Does this mobile phone support PHS technology?!"

Looking at the Xiaolingtong in his hand, Nakamura Takeo asked the most critical question.

Seeing Li Dongling nod, Nakamura Takeo could not help but show an excited expression. He did not expect that the PHS mobile phone he had been urging Kyocera to research and develop would actually be seen at Dongling Gao Ke.

"It should appear in front of the world; it should not be buried, absolutely should not!" Nakamura Takeo said, holding the Xiaolingtong tightly.

Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng looked at each other, and the latter coughed and said, "It is an 'accidental' product; it is a product developed by Dongling Gao Ke when researching and developing PHS!"

"I hope President Nakamura Takeo can like it!"

"Of course, this is the best gift I have received this year, none other!" Nakamura Takeo could not help but say.

"Nakamura Takeo can take the Xiaolingtong back to Japan!"

"Just now, I said that Dongling Gao Ke is willing to give President Nakamura Takeo and the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company a big gift. If President Nakamura Takeo is willing, Dongling Gao Ke is willing to authorize the exclusive agency rights for the Xiaolingtong in Japan to the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company, and have the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company exclusively sell the Xiaolingtong in Japan!

For every Xiaolingtong the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company sells, Dongling Gao Ke is willing to give the Japan Telephone and Telegraph Company a 15% commission!"

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Nakamura Takeo suddenly raised his head.
