As soon as these words came out, both Abdullah and Mahmoud were a little confused.
¡°There is no way, I really don¡¯t understand the meaning behind Zarif¡¯s sentence which has a lot of Chinese connotations.
Zarif immediately realized that he might have gone too far, and used Zhuang Jianye's frequent words as his own mantra.
??????????????????????????????????????????????How could two tycoons from feudal tribes in the Arab world know such profound things?
So the topic changed and he explained again: "Let's put it this way, Ascendas Group's technical strength in drones has long reached the world's leading level. If not talking about other things, just take the 'Heron' drone we just shot down. For example, every year the Israeli company iai has to pay a large amount of patent fees to Ascendas Group, otherwise it will not be able to obtain technology authorization and produce smoothly."
"What?"
"iai ??actually wants to pay patent fees to Tengfei?"
Abdullah and Mahmoud understood this. Not only did they understand, but they were also completely shocked. You must know that Israel has made rapid progress in drones in recent years, launching several models including the "Heron" High-performance drones have attracted much attention in the Middle East and even the world.
In addition, a subsidiary of IAI was acquired by General Motors and merged into General Atomics, a company established by General Motors in its early years. The Predator drone produced is claimed to be the world's most advanced surveillance and combat drone. It is said that the drone has performed many flight missions in the no-fly zone in southern Iraq. The overall effect has been highly praised by the US military, and it is preparing to increase funding to increase procurement.
The result is that such a high-tech company, which is known as the world's leader in UAVs, actually has to pay patent fees to Ascendas Group. Is this a shrewd Jewish behavior? How could they willingly pay IQ tax to others?
¡¡
"I didn't expect that iai had sold the 'Heron' to New Delhi. It seems that they have been doing pretty well relying on the little fortune of Company H these years."
While Abdullah and Mahmoud were surprised that the Israelis wanted to pay patent fees to Ascendas Group, Zhuang Jianye was filled with emotions in the room of the Chinese Consulate General in Karachi.
For a moment, it seemed like I was back to seven or eight years ago, when the 23rd Factory, which had just established the Tengfei brand, cooperated with the American company H to use drones to sweep the world.
Later, in order to balance its dependence on Ascendas Group, h company introduced the Israeli company iai as a backup of production capacity, and thus began a good time of love and death between the three parties.
In the end, H Company collapsed in the showdown with Ascendas Group. Watching the snipe and the clam fight, the powerful IAI Company took decisive action, preparing to swallow up the drone patents and technologies left by H Company.
¡°As a result, when I took a bite, I found that what I had eaten was not fat, but a dose of poison.
No way, h company may seem to outsiders to be a technological enterprise with great potential in the research and development and production of unmanned aircraft, but in reality it is just a leather bag company with a lot of gold but a lot of flaws.
The only production factory is just a simple drone assembly factory.
In the early days, it could still rely on the powerful electronic information equipment in the United States to support some of its appearance. However, after Ascendas Group used Japanese supporting electronic components to integrate a new architecture with performance that was no less than that of American products, and the price was reduced by one-third, Company h completely gave up its industrial supporting facilities in the United States.
In the later stage, with the support of some domestic electronic products and integrating components from Japan, South Korea and even Europe, Ascendas Group further diversified the industrial support of drone communication and control systems, so much so that even H Company could not understand Ascendas How is the group's system integration done?
From aircraft design, core component manufacturing, product testing to the integration of electronic equipment, everything is considered the same. Company H has never even touched it, so how can it get the intellectual property rights?
But paradoxically, the relevant intellectual property rights exist in Company H, but the ownership does not belong to Company H, but is an independent entity established by "joint investment" by Evans and Owen, agents of Ascendas Group, with the partners' The situation is that it is a leather company affiliated with H company and receiving dividends from the founder.
There is no way, who made Evans successfully promoted to the founder of H Company with Ascendas Group's exquisite World War II aviation model? Although he was eventually kicked out of the management and went to Europe to avoid disaster, the identity of the founder It's still there, and although the dividends are small, there will still be some, so this leather bag company has existed in such a weird new way.
If IAI Company develops steadily, just like Company H, and wraps up the leather bag company established by Evans and Irving with nothing but patent documents in the name of a partner, and slowly digests it, maybe IAI Company can really Transform cocoons into butterflies and achieve success in the field of dronesThe road to kingship.
However, Iai obviously did not have the sophistication of H Company. Seeing that Evans and Irving's company was worth a lot of money, it wanted to directly take it for itself, so it launched a hostile takeover of this small and negligible leather company.
As a result, the acquisition was not a big deal and directly launched the so-called "poison pill plan" in the capital market. The hidden clauses in the equity agreement were triggered, 85% of the original preferred shares were released, and private placement was issued to Evans and Irving to establish a company in Germany. Actor Aerospace Systems.
Actor Aerospace Systems instantly became the actual controller of the Leather Bag Company, and immediately launched a patent infringement lawsuit against iai in California, USA.
Originally, a German company sued an Israeli company, and the United States was quite depressed. As a result, Evans and Irving were squeezed out by their European friends. Actor Company could not survive in Europe, so the two simply withdrew from Actor Company and passed With a complex ownership structure, a new company called hnb was re-established in California, USA.
By incorporating the equity of the leather bag company into hnb's system, hnb will become a truly American company, paying taxes and operating in the United States. Now the California court will no longer feel like an outsider when facing this lawsuit. , it was a fierce pursuit of iai company.
The final verdict was that iai lost the case. In addition to paying hnb¡¯s infringement fine of US$4.5 billion from 1984 to the present, it also needed to provide hnb with patent protection fees ranging from US$50 million to US$200 million every year.
Because whether it is the "Heron" or the "Harpy", almost all of iai's drone products use hnb's patented technology to a greater or lesser extent.
"If other countries judge you like this, and the Israelis have so much control over you, you can do whatever you want. Come and bite me if you can."
The problem is that it was the American father who made the verdict, which left the Israelis with no choice but to resign.
So not only did he pay the fine in full, but he also paid the patent fees obediently according to the judgment.
In addition to retaining part of the funds as a research fund for the upper class of the United States and as remuneration for Evans and Irving, hnb Company transferred most of the funds to offshore financial centers through special accounts, and then finally took off through complex and explosive financial transactions. A special account opened by the group at China Merchants Bank in Hong Kong Island.
There is no way, who makes Ascendas Group the real major shareholder of hnb company? If he doesn¡¯t take the patent fees, who can?
