Chapter 165 Greedy Teenager

Joseph said for a long time, just to express that although his company is interested in this patent, it is not necessary. They can obtain such technology and patent by themselves by other means.

There is no doubt about this. They do have this strength. Bell Labs, a subsidiary of ATT, is a world-famous gathering place for geniuses. The technology born from here has already benefited the whole world. Since 1925, Bell Labs has obtained more than 20,000 patents, and now it has obtained more than three patents per working day on average.

Lin Hong nodded blankly: "Mr. White, you haven't told me how much your company's patent quotation is for me."

I didn't move when he was hit by the wind and rain.

Lin Hong's measure is to adapt to the changes. He himself does not know the real value of this patent, but he can see some signs from the other party.

The man sitting in front of him, although he said something that he didn't care about, he was a little anxious.

"500,000!" Joseph Zhong put out a hand, stared at Lin Hong's eyes tightly, and then continued to say, "USD!"

Before that, Joseph had already investigated Lin Hong's origin and knew that he was an exchange student from China.

China in this period is synonymous with backward poverty in their eyes. 500,000 US dollars can be equivalent to one hundred and several hundred thousand yuan. In the eyes of the Chinese people, this is a huge amount of money, and it is not an exsumable to say that it is astronomical.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is that this patent is represented by Cook, but the good thing is that Cook is also the kind of person who has never seen anything in the world. Joseph is confident that he can buy this patent at the least cost.

500,000 US dollars, Joseph felt that his offer was very fair and would definitely make Lin Hong overjoyed.

But to his disappointment, he did not see what he expected from Lin Hong's eyes.

"Mr. White, although we believe in your sincerity, the offer of 500,000 dollars seems to be a little too much."

Cook was afraid that Lin Hong would agree directly when he was hot-headed, so he quickly interrupted.

"Oh? How much does Mr. Cook think this technology is worth?

Joseph turned his head and glanced at Cook next to him, with a playful smile on his face.

"This......" Cook was also speechless for a moment. Although he felt that Lin Hong's patent must be more than half a million dollars, he could not estimate the actual real value.

"I understand your feelings." Cook seemed to say thoughtfully, "In the face of the acquisition, the acquired person naturally wants to get a higher price, and everyone is the same."

"But I want to remind you that the quotation I gave was scientifically calculated by our professionals, which takes into account many factors. You know, we have mastered the key part of this technology. The reason why we want to buy your patent that is still under application is just that we don't want to save a little time.

"Don't be fooled by greed. As the person in charge of patent acquisitions of AT Targeting Company, I have seen too many such cases, and those people often get nothing in the end." Joseph picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Hearing these words, Cook's face changed slightly. He knew that what Joseph said did happen frequently, and he had heard of similar things before.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Lin Hong. In the end, it was the teenager who made the decision.

Lin Hong, who had never spoken, suddenly smiled.

"Mr. White is very happy that your company is interested in the technology I invented, which is also a recognition in a sense. However, you know, I don't know much about this area. I think I should entrust a professional to discuss it with you.

Lin Hong also gently picked up the coffee on the table, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then took a sip. The bitter smell made him frown slightly.

"Oh?" White's face showed an unexpected expression and then nodded, "It's very wise. You are not an adult yet, are you? How old are you this year?

"15."

"Oh, it's really a child who has received God's favor!" White sighed, "You can have such a patent at such a young age, and you have surpassed most of your peers. My son Jack only knows how to play video games all day..."

After a while, White continued, "Smart boy, do you mean to entrust Cook and me in this business negotiation? Cook is indeed a friend who is not both enthusiastic and responsible. For your business, he has been running around a lot during this period..............."

"I'm sorry to interrupt."

Lin Hong didn't let him continue.

"Cock has helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to him. However, I don't want to bother him anymore. You know, these things have caused him a lot of trouble, and I feel very embarrassed. I'm considering whether to entrust my aunt or my brother to follow up on this matter.

When Lin Hong was talking, Cook's lips moved, but in the end, they were both surprised after hearing Lin Hong's words.

"Oh? Do you still have relatives in the United States?

This news made Joseph feel a little bad - whether it was the information he found or from Cook's mouth, there was no such content.

Lin Hong nodded: "Yes, they are all in New York now."

"This is really surprising news. Even Cook didn't know that you have relatives in New York. Of course, this is really good news for me, so that I don't have to fly to China to talk to them about acquisitions. Joseph smiled brightly, "What do they do in New York?"

After Chinese people arrive in New York, they usually engage in some service industries, such as opening a restaurant, opening a supermarket, being a Chinese teacher, etc. Joseph believes that Lin Hong's relatives are no exception.

"My brother opened a martial arts school in New York, which is the place to teach Chinese kung fu."

"Aha, isn't it? It's really a good profession. Chinese kung fu is famous in the world. As expected, Joseph smiled more brilliantly. A rough man who only knows how to dance guns and sticks. What kind of business negotiations do you know? I guess it's not even as good as Cook.

"Where's your aunt? She should also have a good job, right? Let me guess.................. is the owner of a Chinese restaurant?

"No, I don't know exactly what she does. I only know her address. Last time my mother told me, let me think about it... It seems to be in New York City, Manhattan, Wall Street."

"Well, Wall Street is a good place. This is the financial center of the United States................. What? Do you think your aunt is on Wall Street?

Joseph didn't react at the beginning, and then his face suddenly changed, and he began to feel a little bad.

Wall Street is the name of a large street in the southern part of Manhattan, New York City that extends from Broadway to the East River. It is only one-third of a mile long and 11 meters wide, and the streets are narrow and crowded. However, on this very inconspicuous street, there are banks, insurance, shipping, Railway and other companies. In addition, the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange and the New York Futures Exchange are also here.

The word "Wall Street" has surpassed the street itself and become a name for nearby areas. It can also refer to financial markets and financial institutions that have an impact on the entire U.S. economy.

Elites and geniuses from all over the world are gathered here. The people who work here, no matter how low the position is, have at least basic business literacy - that's why Joseph feels bad.

When Cook heard this, he suddenly realized. He looked at Lin Hong's still immature face from the side and sighed in his heart.

Just now, he was very worried that Lin Hong would be cheated by Joseph, and he was a little worried. But now, he fully understands that it is absolutely impossible for Joseph to take advantage of Lin Hong.

Cook has long learned Lin Hong's intelligence and knows that he can never treat him as an ordinary teenager, but he is often confused by his childish face.

Joseph wanted to fool him as a child, but he didn't know that he was being fooled slowly. The rhythm of the conversation was controlled by Lin Hong step by step, but he was still completely unaware of it.

Next, Joseph tried his best to persuade Lin Hong to sell him the patent as soon as possible, and he also pretended to be his own initiative, raised the purchase price step by step, and finally doubled directly to $1 million.

But Lin Hong was still unmoved by this.

At this time, Joseph, who was enlightened, also saw something.

However, he always felt that he had raised the price to one million dollars. The teenager in front of him seemed to be a little too greedy. One million dollars was enough for him to live in China for several lifetimes.

Joseph took his briefcase in his hand and stood up: "It seems that you can't make your own decision, so let's talk about it later. However, I can give you a kind reminder that we may not be interested in your patent at that time. You know, with the strength of our scientists, we are fully capable of researching alternatives.

Cook also showed a trace of anxiety when he heard this, because he knew that Joseph's words were not unreasonable. In his opinion, it was very good that the patent could be sold for a million dollars.

"Well, I'm going to leave. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Cook got up and walked out of the door.

Cock: "STO№, why don't you think about it again?"

"Cock, I'm really not sure about this. Maybe Mr. Cook's price is far beyond the actual value of my patent, which is unfair to them. Don't worry. If ATT is not interested in this technology at that time, maybe you can go to other companies to try your luck. If he We are not interested either.

Joseph, who was walking to the door, stopped when he heard this.
