The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 307 The Biggest Joke
The previous chapter was a sloppy one. Toyota did not have a separate motorcycle business. It was changed to Honda.

……

Liu Hua said disdainfully: "The engine patent is not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either. The motorcycle business is also a very important part of your Honda business. If you talk to me about it, can you make the decision?"

"Of course I can make the decision." Honda Daimaru said proudly: "When you hear my name, you should know that I am a member of the Honda family."

"Of course I know that you are a member of the Honda family, and most likely a branch. The reason you came to talk to me about motorcycle engines is actually to increase your own merits so that you can occupy an important position in the family."

Honda Daimaru was stunned and blurted out: "How did you know?"

"If you were really important, you wouldn't be sent to our flower plantation, because this is not the focus of your Honda business. Especially for a small factory like mine, even if my engine is excellent, it is still not in your Honda's eyes. You will take it for granted that I am easy to control."

Liu Hua shrugged his shoulders: "So why would you send a core family member to discuss such a simple matter? I'm afraid you probably have to fight for this business yourself, otherwise it would be enough for Yue Han to come."

Yue Han was speechless. Are you here to negotiate or to have your secrets exposed?

Liu Hua said cheerfully: "Never forget that your culture originated from us. No matter how you hybridize and mutate in the future, the roots are here. We know all your little tricks."

Yue Han hurriedly stopped the silly young master of the Honda family, saying that if they continued talking he would have to become a disciple and learn skills.

"Mr. Honda, Mr. Liu." Yue Han said politely, "We are here to discuss a deal, so let's not talk about culture for now. If we start talking about this issue, we may not be able to finish it in a year even if we talk about it for five thousand years."

Honda Daimaru finally came to his senses and nodded: "Mr. Liu, please name a price. As long as it is reasonable, our Honda family will not refuse you."

"I know you are rich now. You claim that if you sell the land in Tokyo, you can buy the whole of America."

At this point, Honda Daimaru nodded proudly. After World War II, they lived under the noses of the Americans and always kept their heads down.

Now that they have finally surpassed Big America, the Japanese are so proud, as if they can crush Big America to death with money. You know, they are now buying up Big America's industries on a large scale, as if they have become the masters of Big America.

"But I don't want to sell you. No matter how rich you are, it's your business. I can't do anything if I don't want to sell you."

This sentence stunned Honda Daimaru. This was completely beyond their plan. They thought they could reach this deal smoothly. After all, the mainland is not developed now. As long as they pay a sum of money, they should be able to knock people out.

"We can pay a large sum of money," Honda Daimaru said anxiously, "One million dollars."

"Do you think I've never seen money?" Liu Hua said with a smile, "Last year I invented a new refrigerant and licensed it to BASF Chemicals. The licensing fee was 10 million RMB, and I have to pay another sum every year."

"If it's not enough, I can add some more, another million."

Yue Han held back the excited Honda Daimaru and said, "That's enough, Mr. Honda. Mr. Liu means that he is familiar with patent operations. The only way we can talk to him about is patent licensing. He will not exhaust all resources."

“But that’s not what the board meant.”

"Mr. Liu doesn't agree with the board's opinion either." Yue Han said helplessly, "Now we are the ones who need Mr. Liu's help, and the initiative is not in our hands." Honda Daimaru said anxiously, "But I can't explain to the board of directors if I can't buy the patent."

Liu Hua knocked on the table: "Are you guys just chatting in front of me like this? I know what you are up to."

Yue Han smiled and said, "Your company is not a listed company, and it is not located in Xiao Dongyang's country. Our methods are of no use to you."

"You have self-awareness." Liu Hua praised, "Are you from the mainland? It's a pity to work for Xiao Dongyang. Why don't you come and work with me? If you follow Xiao Dongyang, you will only be a high-level worker for the rest of your life."

"If I follow you, can I be the boss?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Why not? If you manage the company well, I can give you shares."

"Hey, we're here to buy your engines, not to poach your people." Honda Daimaru said hastily, "Let's talk about the engine issue."

He couldn't let Liu Hua poach Yue Han. If the deal failed and he was asked to poach a senior executive, then Honda Daimaru would have no chance to stay in Honda.

"I said at the beginning that you have no say." Liu Hua smiled and said, "If you want the engine, you have no choice but to go through patent licensing. I can't sell this patent to you. I can only license it."

"Patent licensing is not in the interests of Honda." Honda Daimaru shook his head: "If you are unwilling to sell the patent to us, then we must nip the danger in the bud."

"What means can you use to reduce the price?" Liu Hua asked back: "You use your own capital to hurt others and make my engines unsaleable."

"It's not impossible."

Liu Hua shook his head: "You have to understand one thing. You are not in the motorcycle field, and you are not in a monopoly field. If I don't cooperate with you, I can cooperate with others, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and even Harley and Bombardier in the West. I have many partners. If you don't want to license your patent, maybe others are willing. You are not the only choice."

"We are the only choice. Everyone knows that we, the Japanese, are very united."

Liu Hua laughed loudly: "This is the biggest joke of the century. The reason you are united is because of the huge benefits. If you let one person enjoy it alone, he will sell out everyone without hesitation."

"Bullshit."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "For example, during World War II, why did your army and navy always have conflicts? Why did you have to turn one screw to the left and another to the right? Why did the navy have to buy the same aircraft blueprint again after the army bought it?"

Honda Daimaru was completely speechless. The shame of those beasts had already been revealed, and he had no way of denying it.

Yue Han could only say to Honda Daimaru: "Okay, let's stop here today. Let's go back and report to the board of directors about the next step. Let's wait for the board's response."

Liu Hua nodded: "Then you better hurry up. Since Honda can find me, I believe Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki can also find me. Maybe their execution ability is higher than yours. I won't wait for you too long."

Although Honda Daimaru was very angry, he still bowed hypocritically: "I hope you will reconsider it. Honda will not treat you unfairly."
