"But what?"
Wang Yu's words made Qian Guotao a little anxious. He urgently needed a way to achieve results!
"But if that's the case, it will likely be very costly, with significant consumption in terms of manpower, material resources, time, and energy across the board."
Actually, Wang Yu had one more thing he didn't say. His original seven plans were all derived from the same core design.
His original intention was to specifically design a super-luxury bus.
Even in the future era of high-speed rail, buses would still occupy a very important market! Especially in the coming period, with the rapid development of towns and villages, highway buses still had considerable prospects.
However, that super bus was still a bit too much for Wang Yu at the moment, not just in terms of production resources, but also in terms of capital, manpower, and other aspects, it was a considerable pressure.
But this was not a problem for the Bus General Factory!
Or rather, for state-owned factories, all problems related to manpower, material resources, and capital were not particularly significant issues.
As for the reason... those who understand will understand.
So, upon hearing Wang Yu say this, Qian Guotao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought it was some big problem! It turns out it's just this reason. Brother Wang, just tell me what you need, what channels, what resources? As long as the product is good, nothing else is a problem for us!"
Qian Guotao patted his chest and said with great confidence, his meaning simple and direct: if you need money, we have it; if you need people, we have them. As long as you can produce the product!
"This..." Wang Yu smiled at Qian Guotao. "Since it's a collaboration, shouldn't your side also show some gesture?"
He was not someone who would hoard everything for himself. Since he couldn't digest the cake alone now, he would bring others to share it and get rich together.
However, he was not a selfless saint either, and he naturally had to be responsible for the workers under him and solve their livelihood problems. He couldn't just collaborate for nothing!
As for Wu Lingling's earlier concerns about the other party crossing the river and then demolishing the bridge, or kicking him away after learning the technology, Wang Yu could only regretfully state that he would have many ways to make them regret it...
"Show some gesture?" Qian Guotao immediately understood. "Brother Wang, you tell me, what conditions do you have, just name them."
"Mr. Qian, isn't this a bit too hasty?" The old expert from before spoke to Qian Guotao in a low voice. How could one discuss cooperation and immediately ask the other party to name their terms? Wasn't this like offering oneself to be exploited?
With such a broad statement, what if they made an exorbitant demand? Would it be met or not? Trying to exploit this opportunity was not a business deal, it would lead to an awkward situation.
"It's fine, Brother Wang is not that kind of person." Qian Guotao waved his hand and then turned to Wang Yu, "Tell me, what are your requirements?"
"It's very simple, I can provide the relevant technology and guidance, but I want 30% of the net profit of this product."
"What?"
"30%!"
"Are you crazy?"
Everyone present immediately became agitated. This was truly a sky-high demand. No, it should be a Tyrannosaurus Rex demand.
Don't think 30% is a small amount. The profits of manufacturing factories are often very meager, with high investment, high costs, and low profits.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many large companies in later generations speculating in real estate, finance, and the internet, and so few truly engaged in manufacturing? Because it's too difficult and painful! It takes too long to make money!
Especially for state-owned factories, with the "big pot of rice" system, everyone understood that the burden was particularly heavy and high, making the profit even thinner once distributed!
And Wang Yu, with a single demand, asked for 30% of the profit. He was the only one who dared to say it!
If it weren't for the fact that he had demonstrated his true skills and impressed everyone just now, he would have been mistaken for a troublemaker and kicked out!
"This... Brother Wang, aren't your requirements a bit too high?" Qian Guotao frowned, his expression somewhat displeased. He now felt that what he had said earlier was a bit too absolute.
"But I don't think it's high. 30% profit in exchange for an opportunity to occupy the market and absolute leadership is definitely not a losing deal," Wang Yu said with a smile.
"I can say without modesty that with my technology, there is absolutely no competing product on the market that can match it. In other words, once this super bus product is developed, it will be the undisputed uncrowned king! If even with such a product, the Bus General Factory still cannot defeat competitors and occupy the market, then it should go back and sleep."
Wang Yu's words were polite, but the implication was very realistic. If they couldn't defeat competitors with such an excellent product, they should indeed go back and sleep!
"This..." Qian Guotao pondered for a moment. 30% profit in exchange for an opportunity to occupy the market was indeed very tempting!
"Moreover, our cooperation is not a one-off deal. There will be more aspects in the future!"
Wang Yu suddenly smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words into Qian Guotao's ear.
"You... you..." Qian Guotao's expression changed drastically, showing a mixture of strangeness, shock, doubt, and emotion.
"I really don't know what's going on in your head. But... I admit you've convinced me." Qian Guotao took a deep breath. "We can establish a product cooperation relationship. You will own 30% of the profit of this super bus. At the same time, the qualification for the Dongzhou Industrial Expo will also be yours!"
"Mr. Qian?"
"Mr. Qian!"
Seeing this situation, the others at the Bus General Factory anxiously wanted to speak, but were all stopped by Qian Guotao.
"It's settled. We'll draft the articles of association later and sign the cooperation agreement and industrial product sales contract as soon as possible."
It could only be said that they were indeed a proper state-owned factory. Their words were different from those small, makeshift operations. Industrial product sales contracts were different from ordinary contracts! The rules and nuances involved couldn't be explained in a sentence or two, but they were definitely more strict and demanding!
"Yes, no problem," Wang Yu replied.
"Then, happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Under the pained gazes of the Bus General Factory staff, Wang Yu and Qian Guotao shook hands.
...
After having dinner in the Bus General Factory's cafeteria that evening, Qian Guotao arranged for a driver to take Wang Yu and Wu Lingling back to the guesthouse.
Although this old-fashioned sedan was not as comfortable as cars in later generations, it was still quite convenient. Wang Yu wondered if he should really buy a car.
Or, if that didn't work, he could apply for a passenger car (sedan) production qualification and design and manufacture a national everyday car himself!
This idea suddenly emerged and ignited fiercely in Wang Yu's mind! He was already starting to conceive the vehicle's structure and components.
As he thought, the car arrived at the entrance of the guesthouse. The driver politely asked them to get out and bid them farewell.
Wang Yu, lost in thought, only responded briefly. Wu Lingling, accustomed to his intermittent absent-mindedness, simply pouted and pulled him along, ready to enter the guesthouse.
However, as soon as they stepped through the entrance, a tall, bear-like figure suddenly blocked their way, accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol.
