"Of course, we are collaborators."Matsk smiled and said, "As a collaborator, all institutions can obtain the right to use the technology patent obtained in this project, only need to pay a certain amount of patent royalties."As a result, your country does not need to be involved in other subsystems and can also access these technologies.”

“What does Mr. President mean that we have access to these technologies without discrimination?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

“Certainly without discrimination.”Matsk said firmly.

“We are free to use them as long as we pay the patent fees as required.”

"Yes, completely free."

“Including the use of these technologies in international tenders?”

“This...”

"Including secondary development of these technologies, so as to have the technology to form independent intellectual property rights?"

“I think there should be some difference...” Matsk could only have given his word to fat.

The introduction of technology in commercial cooperation is multi-level.The highest level is naturally to obtain independent intellectual property rights, which means that you can use this technology at will, whether it is to participate in international competition or secondary development of technology, without any restrictions.The lower level is to only obtain limited access rights, for example, can only be used within a certain range, can not exceed this range, the most typical limitation is only in the country, can not be used in the international market.The lower level even completely limits the autonomy of the introducer, who must apply to the owner of the technology when using the technology, and if the other party does not agree, the introducer cannot use the technology.

Feng Xiaochen hopes that by participating in the Captain Cook project, it will form an independent research and development capability for the whole system of deep-sea oil development, so that in the future, China can independently design and build offshore oil equipment and participate in international market competition.If the power they get is only to use these patents, and to participate in international competition is limited by the original technology manufacturers, then what is the difference between directly purchasing foreign equipment?

Matsk actually knew the idea of Feng Xiaochen, but he could not comply with Feng Xiaochen's request.What they are most worried about in Heinzl is that after the Chinese acquire the technology, they will seize their market internationally, so they will find ways to prevent the Chinese from participating in the development of core technologies.According to Heinzl, the Chinese can not even use these patents, and if they want to obtain these equipment, they can only buy them from companies such as Puma.Matsk certainly can not say this to Feng Xiaochen, because this is too bullying, said good cooperation and development, the result is not even the use of cooperation developed by the cooperation, so what is the name of the cooperation?

Matsk took a lot of effort to convince Heinzl and others to agree to grant the relevant patents to the Chinese after the completion of the project, but this authorization is strictly limited, the Chinese themselves build several platforms in their own waters to collect oil, but all cross-border sales, European companies will refuse to issue licenses, and never let the Chinese take away their markets.

Sure enough, after hearing that each company can only participate in one aspect of research, Feng Xiaochen asked about the issue of patent licensing.Matsk wants to sloppi eyes can not beat, after all, the two sides are ultimately to sign the agreement, these things can not be written clearly in the agreement, even if he can deceive the Chinese now, eventually people will find out.

"We intend to invest $500 million in this project, based on the investment in the whole project, $500 million is equivalent to 25% of the shares, do we have the right to ask to participate in 25% of the research work?"Feng Xiaochen changed the angle and said to Matsk.

That's $500 million!

Matsk’s heart thumped.Previously, he had only heard from people who said that China had such intentions, but he could not fully believe it.Now that Feng Zhichen has personally spoken this figure, the meaning is completely different, which means that as long as Matsk is willing to agree to Feng Zhichen's conditions, 500 million US dollars can fall on his hands.And once he has the $500 million, he can fool more companies into joining the project, and the project will almost be nailed down.

At Matsk's intention, he would be desperate to agree to the conditions offered by Feng Xiaochen, even if these conditions are harsher, what can be done?Matsk himself is not in the business service, he does not care whether the Chinese will seize the European company market, for him, the sixth generation of drilling platform development, is the most important, he will be greatly honored, the future is bright.

However, the matter of the committee is not that he can be the chairman can decide, Heinzl, Kelvey and other members from the enterprise are the real owners.These people will certainly not agree to the Chinese conditions, Matsk can say what?

"Mr. Feng, what you know may be a bit biased."Matsk said, “It’s a fact that Captain Cook’s project plans to raise $2 billion.However, the valuation of the project is not only based on the amount of funding, but also takes into account the technology investment of enterprises.As you know, including Norway's AKER, Sweden's GVA company Cardiff in the UK, Pumay, Germany, etc., have a large number of core technologies in the development of offshore oil, and they will use their own technology, which needs to be converted into the share capital."

“Is there a word for technology?”Feng Xiaochen smiled, he asked: "So, with these technical equity, how much is the valuation of the whole project?"If we get $500 million, what percentage of that would be?”

“Adding the technical equity, the project valuation is approximately $4 billion, and $500 million can account for 12.5 per cent.”Matsk said.When he said this, his voice was a little thorny.Lying is a difficult thing to do, but Matsk is not willing to do such a matter of conscience.

The faces of Huang Ming, Chen Mo and others have already been a little blue, and the cold flying clouds have issued a sneer.As for Wang Weilong and Yang Haifan, they touched each other's eyes, and then showed a relieved expression, which means: Since this is the case, what is still to be done with this bastard, let's go directly.

Feng Xiaochen is the most calming thing among people, and now he has taken some jokes.Matsk and the commissioners who did not appear were nothing but a bunch of ridiculous clowns in Feng’s eyes.Captain Cook's project did not exist in the memory of Feng Xiaochen's previous life, why did this life appear, he did not go to the examination, perhaps it is caused by the demon that he has stirred through the butterflies.

Feng Xiaochen remembers what Europe is like after entering the new century, and under the impact of the European debt crisis, European industry and technology are almost completely defeated, and it can be barely maintained by eating the old ones of the past.

Speaking of the simplest, in the global smartphone market in 2018, the United States, South Korea and China are three-footed, and European mobile phone brands can't even enter the top 10 sales.

You can certainly say that Europeans may not be disdainful of playing with low-end goods such as mobile phones, so we can give another example: on the list of the top 500 supercomputers released in November 1999, the United States ranked first with 267, Japan ranked third, Germany in Europe with 69, second, followed by France 27, Britain 24, Sweden 7, the Netherlands 7, Italy 6, Switzerland, plus Denmark, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, etc.At that time, China had only one list.

In June 2018, China's number of units on the list reached 206 units, ranking first in the world, 124 units in the United States ranked second, Japan ranked third with 36, and 12 countries in Europe, Germany, Britain, France combined with only 96 units, less than half of China.

It is said that the 21st century is the information age, the great Europe, the origin of the industrial revolution, in the field of supercomputers by a developing country thrown out of two streets, what qualifications are there?

Feng Xiaochen went to the Matsk talks, hoping to join the Captain Cook project, of course, there is an idea of learning from the accumulation of European technology, but also not to pull the Europeans, to help them develop an advantageous industry.Feng Xiaochen fully believes that without China's participation, the result of Captain Cook's project must be a bad project, and in the end, everyone can get nothing.And if China participates, the project is likely to be successful, and China will naturally benefit from it, and Europeans will also benefit from it, which is a win-win result.

Of course, neither Matsk and Heinzl nor the likes of him are trumpers, they may feel Europe’s recession, but they don’t expect to be able to decline so quickly and completely.In their hearts, they also think about the opportunity to curb China's development, so in this cooperation put forward such absurd conditions.

“If that’s the case, then Mr. President, what part of the development is going to be done for Chinese companies?”Feng Xiaochen continued to ask.Although it is already known that the cooperation with Captain Cook's project will not achieve the desired results, he still needs to understand the other party's intentions and see if there is any place to use.A pile of garbage is also available value, since it has come, it is okay to ask more questions.

Matsk said: "We originally considered asking Chinese companies to be responsible for the construction of semi-submersible platform-layer buildings, and now understand that Chinese enterprises have some experience in the construction of FPSO, we can consider asking you to also participate in the development of FPSO...

“We are committed to paying $500 million for the construction of the upper deck building and the FPSO, which Mr. President says is 12.5% of the total project?”Feng Xiaochen asked with a smile.
