Chapter 166 The Impact of Five Million Dollars
What Lin Hong said to Joseph was not nonsense.
The aunt on Wall Street he mentioned is actually his mother's good sister, that is, Mu Simin's sister, Mu Sitong.
He doesn't know exactly what to do, but he has heard of it, which seems to be related to finance.
Joseph's trick Lin Hong saw it clearly. His mind had long been seen through by Lin Hong. On the surface, he pretended not to care, and then put pressure on him through his company's researchers, so as to create the illusion that they didn't care even if they didn't buy it.
Lin Hong didn't plan to negotiate the price with him by himself. He didn't know the overall situation. Of course, he couldn't make an accurate estimate. In his opinion, he could sell as much as he could, and he didn't expect to take as much advantage. But if the other party fooled him as a fool, it would be a
The last sentence, Lin Hong said it to him.
Do you think you have the ability to approve your patents in advance? Then go. Although I don't have the ability to stop you, others have this ability. Obviously, ATET's competitors are such people.
In game theory, this is called borrowing momentum.
Joseph stopped, stood there for a while, and then returned to his previous seat.
"OK, STONE, I apologize to you for my previous attitude. I think we should talk about it again, openly and frankly."
As soon as he stood still, he realized that the teenager in front of him did not seem to be so easy to deal with.
Before, he had always wanted to control the right to speak and let the other party follow his own ideas, but he unconsciously fell into a passive.
It's ridiculous that I always thought he was a country boy who didn't know anything.
This time, Joseph seemed to be more sincere. He re-quoted a price--
Five million dollars.
This is a one-time patent buyout price. If Lin Hong accepts it, it means that he waives all rights related to this patent.
Joseph took out the checkbook on the spot. As long as Lin Hong nodded and signed the agreement, he could write the check to Lin Hong on the spot.
Cook looked at the check in Joseph's hand, with a dry mouth.
He swallowed a sip of air, his heart accelerated, and his blood pressure rose.
This is five million!
He may not make so much money in his life.
Turned his head and looked at Lin Hong, only to find that the other party still had no expression.
This child can really calm down! Cook had to admire his heart.
In the end, Lin Hong still did not nod and agree on the spot, but he could feel that at least the other party did not treat himself as a fool this time, and really regarded himself as an equal business partner.
Of course, business negotiations are not such a simple thing. The intention to sign the contract on the spot is very rare. Joseph often does this kind of thing. Of course, he knows this. He came here this time just to convey a meaning. By the way, let's see if it is possible for him to take a small advantage or something. If the other party The country bumpkin who didn't understand anything, threw tens of millions and signed the agreement dizzy, which was a surprise.
However, the probability of this situation is relatively low. He has only encountered five or six such opportunities in this industry for so many years. The teenager in front of him is obviously not one of them.
The offer of five million is only an initial intention, not without room for negotiation. The reason why he came back to quote this price is that he does not want to create opportunities for his competitors. If the company makes mistakes in its development strategy because of his stupid mistake this time, then his responsibility will be great.
In a word, ATT is not short of money. Millions of dollars are just a dime for this behemoth.
If this patent can be purchased successfully, they will create much more wealth than this. Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't make money, as long as you can cause trouble to your competitors.
Before leaving, Joseph left a business card for Lin Hong and asked him to call him whenever he figured it out.
"Five million dollars, STONE, you don't care at all?"
After Joseph left, Cook finally shouted, as if he were a child.
"It's a fake that I don't care, but I'm really not used to making decisions in such a hurry. Cook, thank you for this. When this deal is concluded, I will not treat you badly.
"Haha, don't say that. I didn't expect that this patent would be favored by ATET. It seems that we are lucky to submit the patent application before them."
After the two talked for a while, Cook sent Lin Hong back.
Back to his room, Lin Hong showed his [true] real emotions.
He can't believe what just happened now.
This is five million dollars!
is converted into at least 15 million yuan.
What kind of concept is this?
The most money Lin Hong has ever seen in his life is the 3,000 dollars he had with him when he came to the United States.
But today, there are five million dollars in front of him, which has to be said to be like a dream.
In China, even a 10,000-yuan household is a great event, and there are few such people in a village.
If it hadn't been for the patent acceptance letter given to him by Cook in his hand, Lin Hong really doubted whether he was dreaming.
In front of the computer, Lin Hong no longer had the interest to continue the understanding of the calculator. He had all kinds of thoughts in his mind and thought of a lot of things.
With money, he can do a lot of things.
You don't have to calculate to install a phone, and you don't feel sad to buy a hundred-dollar calculator.
With money, he can also order a computer as powerful as Arthur.
With money, my father doesn't have to work so hard in the car factory day and night, so that the family of three can live together...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head.
It seems that money alone is not enough.
He remembered his nominal cousin Feng Tianyu.
At the beginning, he did not forget every word Feng Tianyu said in his ear. His contemptuous eyes and every move of him have been vivid in Lin Hong's mind so far.
He is no longer the country child who didn't know anything, through reading and TV. By observing the people and things around him, he has a deeper understanding of privileges, grades, and prejudices.
Although he was willing to change the situation of his family before, he was powerless. He doesn't know how to change and where to start.
Although he has never revealed these emotions, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about these things at all. It's just that he knows that no matter what he did before, he can't change the facts he is facing. He just doesn't want to do meaningless things.
And what happened today gave him a glimmer of understanding.
It turns out that these things he has always been interested in can bring him great wealth!
Although it is not enough to have money, this is a very good entry point.
In a person's life, there will always be several events that can change his life. These events may be natural and man-made disasters, or a trivial matter, but for the parties concerned, they can have a huge impact on their hearts. These shocks will urge the parties to start self-reflection, jump out of the usual thinking, and look at themselves from a high altitude, so as to make decisions that affect their lives.
In those years, when Lin Hong first came into contact with the radio station, his heart was shocked and he embarked on the road of "ham". THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE COMPUTER FROM LINUS, I WAS SHOCKED AGAIN AND LIKED COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY.
Today, in a small town in Boston, Massachusetts, Lin Hong, who has been living a plain life, once again encountered a spiritual shock. For the first time, he began to re-examine himself, began to re-examine the technology he had been pursuing, and began to plan his future life...< /P>
Many years later, when Lin Hong recalled the turning point of his life, he always thought that the experience of this night had the greatest impact on his life since then, and his outlook on life and the world outlook had been unprecedentedly subverted.
Lin Hong didn't do anything that night. He stood in front of the window and stayed quietly all night.
The next day was Saturday. After the morning exercise, Lin Hong proposed to Arthur to go to New York to visit his brother and aunt.
Arthur did not know that Lin Hong still knew someone in New York. After detailed inquiry, he learned that Lin Hong's brother was the one who opened the martial arts museum in New York. He was so happy that he couldn't control himself. He strongly asked to go with Lin Hong. As a result, Matthew also had to follow him to see it.
Lin Hong only said this matter. In fact, that's what he meant. After all, he is still not familiar with here. If he goes there with Arthur and Matthew, at least it will be smoother. You don't have to ask questions all the time.
Because the people of the telecommunications company today may go to the headquarters of the SAM Association to install telephone lines, so after the morning exercise, they first ran to Pison's house, explained this to Pearson about this matter, and asked him to go to the headquarters of the association today to take care of him, and they had something to go to New York.
For such an important task, Pison naturally agreed. Although he also wants to go to New York with the army to join in the fun, there is nothing he can do. The association has something to do today, and he has to stay alone.
After coming out of Pison's house, Lin Hong and the three of them set out for New York. The driver was still Matthew. Although the two of them are now learning to drive under Matthew's guidance, this time they will go far away and get on the highway. It can't be a joke. If the driver is caught by the [police] .
Before leaving home, Lin Hong had taken all the remaining money with him. After experiencing what happened last night, the way he thought about the problem was completely different. Thinking about the past, he sometimes had to care about a few dollars of huā fee. It was a little funny.
As the saying goes, the sea was difficult to make water, but Wushan is not a cloud. Now Lin Hong is no longer the previous Lin Hong.
