Chapter 195 Little Fox
Although ATT is a giant, it gradually began to decline after being forcibly split by the U.S. government, and now even the core business is facing fierce competition from the other three telecom operators in the United States. AND VERIAZON IS ONE OF THEM.
"Ms. Mestre, nice to meet you." Phylise shook hands with Leighton politely.
"You must be the inventor of the patent for the adaptive signal filter, Mr. Lin, right? It's really young and dove!"
To everyone's great surprise, Leighton can speak fluent Chinese. Although the accent is a little big, similar to Cantonese speaking Mandarin, it is enough to surprise everyone present. Moreover, she seems to be fluent in the application of Chinese, and can also use idioms to describe Lin Hong.
"You speak Chinese very well." Lin Hong shook hands with her and complimented her.
Lin Hong still has a sense of intimacy when he can meet Chinese-speaking foreigners here. At least this Ms. Mestre gave him a good first impression.
Joseph, who was beside him, gritted his teeth and said to Liton, but he had nothing to do with her. This woman is simply his nemesis. Every time he buys, she will try his best to intervene, making him very passive.
"Thank you. I like Chinese culture very much. China is a very mysterious country. I want to travel there for a long time. I hope to have the opportunity to visit Mr. Lin's motherland in the future and feel the local customs there.
"There will be a chance. I think you will like the scenery there."
"Well... Mr. Lin, Miss Felix, can our signing ceremony start?" Joseph looked at Phylise and Lin Hong with a look for help. After all, they have reached the intention to sign the contract before. He hopes that they can abide by the previous oral agreement and successfully sign the contract with him.
Before Lin Hong could speak, Leighton immediately said, "Mr. Lin, our VERIAZON company is also very interested in your patent. This is a very great invention, which can greatly improve the signal strength of mobile phones and further reduce the volume of mobile phones. Our company's competitive strategy in the future is very Important. I wonder if Mr. Lin can transfer the patent to us? We are willing to give you a price that you are absolutely satisfied with.
"This..." Lin Hong could feel that Liton's words were true, and he didn't come over to make trouble at will. He is not very good at this kind of negotiation scene, and he is a little uncertain about it for a while. So he had to look at Phylise.
Felice's face showed embarrassment: "Ms. Mestre, this embarrass us. We have negotiated the price with Mr. White before, and now it's not good to regret..."
She also uses Chinese.
"Sister Phylise, if you don't mind, just call me sister. It's too out of touch to call me lady." The shrewd Leighton immediately knew that to deal with Lin Hong, he just needed to deal with Phylise first, so he immediately focused on her.
"It won't be difficult, how can it be difficult? As you know, the law of business is like this, and there is no mercy to talk about. As long as you have not signed the final contract, it is your freedom to sell the patent to, which is completely legal. Moreover, the value of this patent is higher than that of Joseph's iron rooster. Don't you want to sell it at a better price?
Seeing that Leighton described Joseph as an iron rooster, she couldn't help laughing and quickly covered her little mouth with her hand.
Joseph didn't understand what they said at all, but when he saw them chatting happily, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
In fact, the AT&T head office did not realize the value of Lin Hong's patent at the beginning, and it did not attach great importance to it. It is at the extent that it can be bought or not. However, in order to show his ability, the research institute specializing in Bell Labs, which had also studied the same technology before, wrote an analysis report. As a result, it can be imagined that Joseph successfully achieved his goal. The head office began to be full of expectations for this patent, and even began to formulate the patent acquisition. Continue the development strategy.
Originally, he thought it was a matter of certainty, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Leighton, who was killed halfway. At this moment, he even wanted to kill this woman.
You know, if this patent acquisition fails, it can only show his incompetence from the side. His competitors within the company will never give up this opportunity, and will definitely fall into the well and beat the water dog. After all, the position of the person in charge of patent acquisition is not something that anyone can do, which is a super fat job in the company.
"Miss Phylise, don't listen to her temptation. Leighton didn't know the existence of Mr. Lin's patent before. She was just here to make trouble!" Joseph said hurriedly.
"Dear Joseph, how can you say that about me? I'm very honest this time. I even brought the special instructions issued by our president in person. Do you want me to show it to you? With that, Leighton took out a document from the briefcase, which was the handwritten instruction of the president of VERIAZON that Leighton must acquire the patent, which is related to their future competitive advantage in AT&T's mobile phone business.
When Joseph saw this document, he had nothing to say.
Both of them looked at Phylise separately, waiting for her final result.
"Oh, it's really embarrassing!" Phylise looked at them and then said to Lin Hong, "Brother Stone, which one do you think we should choose?"
"This..."
Lin Hong was about to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Phylise.
"Yes!" Phylise seemed to have a sudden inspiration and called out in surprise.
"Sister Leighton, Mr. White, it's really embarrassing for us that both of you are so sincere. I also understand your difficulties. BOSS wants you to successfully acquire Brother Stone's patent, but there is only one patent. Why don't we sell the patent to you separately? Do you share the patent?
Both of them shook their heads and disagreed with the plan.
During this period, the competition between the two families is very fierce, and it is impossible to have any cooperation. Even if they agree, their boss will not agree.
"That's it..."
"Sister Phylise, the price I'm going to sell must be more competitive than Joseph's!"
"I can also increase the price!" Joseph stared at Liton, and he didn't know how many times he had scolded her. Of course, as a man, he still had some dirty ideas.
"I have come up with a very fair way so that everyone will not be embarrassed, and then you can decide who to sell the patent to as quickly as possible, but I don't know if you agree or disagree."
Joseph: "What can I do?"
"Sister Phylise, you might as well talk about it."
"Well, in order to save time, let's decide who will buy this patent at one time. The method is very simple, that is, you write down the final purchase price on the note, and the final price is high! What do you think?" The smile on Phylise's face was extremely bright.
Lin Hong looked at Phylise and couldn't help praising, little fox!
He is fully aware at this moment that there must be a factor of Phylise in the arrival of Leighton. Of course, most of the reason why I can guess is that it is perceived from Phyllis's emotions, because from the beginning to the end, Phyllis's emotions are very calm, as if she had expected this scene.
When Joseph and Leighton heard the words, they looked at each other and immediately understood that this time, the biggest winner must be Felix's side.
But they clearly knew Phylize's intention, but they had to follow her steps, because both sides were unwilling to give up their intention to acquire the patent.
Liton said with a smile, "I have long heard that the Qianjin of the Morgan consortium is very talented in business, and I finally saw it today. Just do as you said, we will have a bid to buy it.
"Bidding is bidding, who is afraid of whom!" Joseph is bound to win this acquisition. He can't afford to lose. "I also agree with this plan."
"GREAT!" Phylized snapped her finger, "Let's talk about it first. There is only one chance. Whoever pays a higher price can win. Of course, we have to accept this price. I don't think you will joke with us. After all, I think other companies will also be interested in this patent.
Liden and Joseph took a piece of white paper and a pen respectively, sat on the other side, and began to think about how much to write.
At this time, Felix felt a little sorry. This time, only two companies competed, and the effect was a little discounted. I don't know what's going on with the other two companies. They should have received the news a long time ago, but they didn't send anyone here.
However, it's not bad to achieve this effect. After all, it will definitely help Uncle Stone sell a little more money, which is a very happy thing.
"Have you both written it down?" When Phylgari saw that they had stopped writing, she asked.
"Okay."
"I'm fine, too."
"Then give me the note and I'll announce the final result."
Felis took the note they handed over, and then glanced at Lin Hong.
"Brother Stone, why don't you announce it?"
"Hehe, it's better for you to come." Lin Hong is in a good mood at this moment. He has an intuition that he can definitely sell it at a very satisfactory price this time.
Phylized no longer hesitated when she heard the words. First, she opened the note written by Leighton, then glanced at the other party and smiled at her. But she didn't say anything.
Then, he opened Joseph's note, and his heart was already happy. However, she was determined, and she still had the same smile on her face.
"The result is clear!" Phylise said, "Sister Leighton, I'm sorry, the winner is still Mr. White!"
Joseph couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief, and then looked at Leighton proudly.
Liton didn't say anything about this, but still said to him politely, "Congratulations, it seems that you are more determined than me!"
"Miss Phylize, Mr. Lin, although we have not cooperated successfully, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again next time, and you can give priority to me then! I have something else to do. Let's go first."
After saying that, she walked away with the cat.
Lin Hong was surprised at what price Joseph finally quoted. He stepped forward and took the note in Felix's hand to look at it. His heart beat a little faster--
12 million US dollars! ( To be continued
