Chapter 705: This time I messed up!
After a few hypocritical pleasantries, Scott looked Taylor up and down with a smile on his face.
As Scott's gaze scanned, Taylor felt his goosebumps pop up instantly, and he felt uncomfortable, like a cat targeting a mouse.
Thinking of this, Taylor laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart, the role he played today was not a mouse who threw himself into the cat's mouth.
"Mr. Taylor, before we get into the conversation, may I ask you a question, how did the company you work for know about or how did you discover Oak?" asked Scott.
This question, apparently in Taylor's expectation, pushed his glasses a little, and then replied with a smile: "Oak is what I found, and then I thought it was pretty good, a little interesting, and then I wanted to come and talk to you." ”
Hearing this, Scott's face froze slightly, and he cursed in his heart: "Little fox." ”
If he hadn't focused on Oak, and this Mr. Taylor and the Huaxia Enterprise behind him, he would have been denied.
Scott chuckled, "Then I should say Mr. Taylor, you have the insight to find Oak in the vast sea of technology." ”
Taylor sighed in his heart, but still said flatly: "I can't be discerning, it is my responsibility to acquire all kinds of technologies for our company, and our company acquires hundreds of technologies every year, and Oak is just one of them." ”
In response to Taylor's words, Scott twitched the corners of his mouth undeniably, and then said casually: "Since that's the case, then we don't seem to have anything to talk about." ”
Speaking of this, Scott paused and glanced at Taylor meaningfully, "After all, Oak is not important, it's just one of the hundreds of technologies that your company acquires every year, so let's leave it to our Sun Company to develop it ourselves." ”
Although Taylor still behaved calmly as usual, his heart was turbulent, and he didn't even know how many fucks he had scolded, Shet.
There was no doubt that Scott's words hit him in the soft underbelly.
But to be honest, he really didn't expect that as soon as he said two sentences, Scott would directly throw out the idea of developing Oak by himself, isn't this the last cruel word to threaten the other party, what should be said?
It's so unreasonable, not only did he not take measures to beat him, but it also made him feel like he was a knife and I was a fish.
With a bitter smile in his heart, Taylor was full of helplessness, Oak was in the hands of the other party, whether he could sell it or not, naturally it all depended on the mouth of others, and the cards he could play were too few.
After pondering for a few seconds and sorting out his mood, Taylor still had a shallow smile on his face, and said casually: "President Scott said with a smile, I believe that Oak is just one of the many technologies produced by Sun Company every year, and President Scott, you can't invest in the development of all the technologies produced by the company, you should know very well that this is a thing where the input is greater than the output, and even a very stupid thing." ”
Scott's face changed slightly, and although he didn't nod, he naturally knew what Taylor said, and it couldn't be more correct.
If any technology, even an idea, an idea, had to be developed, then the rich would be destitute, penniless, and contribute to the world.
Of course, he naturally admits that a right technique, idea, and idea can bring a lot of wealth, but only if it is correct.
This is why angel investors are called angels, and they kindly return their hard-earned wealth to the world.
People are envious of angel investors, who can get tens or hundreds of times the income with low investment.
But they don't know that the vast majority of angel investors end up losing money cleanly, and there are very few angel investors who can make money.
Because most of the technologies, ideas, and ideas don't have the possibility to make money.
It can even be said that technology, ideas, and ideas are often available, but capital is not always available.
This is also the reason why Oak has been put on hold for more than a year, or in other words, Oak did not appear in front of him at all, and was called back by the vice president of technology and even the technical director under him.
Thinking of this, Scott even wanted to say thank you to Taylor, if it wasn't for Xiaobawang's desire to buy Oak, which attracted the attention of the company and allowed Oak to come to him, he probably didn't know how long it would take to find out about Oak's existence, a year later, two years later, or even longer.
After carefully studying Oak, he really found that this is an excellent product, not only a programming language, but also a perfect development platform, with easy adaptability and dynamic update ability, which means that the syntax is relatively simple, and developers who have learned computer programming can quickly get started.
Seeing that Scott didn't fight back, Taylor couldn't help but feel better, and even more confident, the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing eight white teeth, and pretended to be relaxed: "Actually, if our company wants to acquire Oak, it doesn't mean that we have to develop Oak, but more to use it as a technical reserve." ”
Speaking of this, Taylor said with some embarrassment: "No way, our company is a Chinese company after all, and the technology is relatively backward, so we can only buy all the technology." ”
However, before Scott could speak, Taylor continued: "But don't worry, although our company only plans to use Oak as a technical reserve, in terms of price, it will definitely not be discounted, a fixed price, 300,000 US dollars, what do you think? I believe that this price should be a very satisfactory price for the development cost of Sun Company." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Taylor picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a shallow sip, then leaned back on the sofa and looked at Scott confidently, obviously looking very confident in the price he offered.
Even Scott himself had the illusion that if he didn't agree immediately, he would be an insatiable Grandet, or a fool in a fairy tale book who ended up asking for his own suffering.
But in fact, Taylor felt that he was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, but he couldn't help it, he could only talk to Scott about the price so straightforwardly, he was afraid to talk to Scott, an old fox, about whether Oak was important to the company, and he had to talk about whether Oak was important to the company.
And this topic is too bad for him, after all, Oak is actually everyone is still Scott, if Scott bites the bullet and doesn't agree to him, he has great ability, and there is nothing he can do.
"Three hundred thousand dollars?" Scott chuckled, looking at Taylor with a playful expression.
"I believe that this should be a very reasonable price. Taylor looked like he couldn't be beaten.
Although the price of $300,000 is far from the $1 million authorized to him by Fang Chen, according to his understanding of the purchase price of various technologies in the United States in the past six months, for Oak, $300,000 can definitely be said to be a mid-to-low price, not too low.
The acquisition of research institutes for DynaSky, as well as various technologies, has become his professional skill, and he is quite confident in this pricing.
In addition, Sun has not made any investment in Oak at all, and Oak is only an accessory generated from the green home appliance project, and how much can it cost.
If it were another normal company, he would be able to get 300,000 as soon as he opened his mouth, and the other party would steal the fun.
As for why such a mid-to-lower price was chosen, this is just a strategy.
According to the test of his big boss's tone in the past few days, he naturally knew that for Fang Chen, as long as he could acquire Oak, let alone one million dollars, it would be three million or five million dollars.
But he was afraid that the price would be too high all of a sudden, and Scott would be alarmed, and it would be terrible if he really made up his mind not to sell it to him.
made a price, and he was so painstaking and frightened, he was helpless.
After a deep sigh, Scott smiled and said, "This price is a little lower." ”
Taylor's brow furrowed, and his face instantly drooped, as if hanging on a layer of frost.
After a long time, Taylor said in a deep voice: "Mr. Scott, you must know that Oak is just a programming language, a programming language that can only be regarded as an excellent programming language, if it weren't for our company wanting a programming language that belongs to our company, I wouldn't be sitting here at all, and I can even tell you bluntly that there will never be a second company to talk about the acquisition of Oak besides me." ”
Hearing this, Scott did not speak directly, but glanced at Taylor meaningfully.
At this glance, Taylor's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he had a feeling that he was being seen through by Scott.
But as the so-called bullet has been discharged, he has no turning back, so he has to continue to talk hard, the hard one is over, it's time to come soft.
And he felt that since Scott was willing to come forward to talk to him today, and he hadn't talked about it until now, it meant that Oak still had something to talk about.
Taylor's tone suddenly softened a lot, "Mr. Scott, I believe that you will not invest in Oak, if you don't sell it to me, it can only be used as a backup technical force, why bother, if you are not satisfied with the price, we still have a little discussion, I will apply for it, and then add another $20,000 to you, it is still okay." ”
"In fact, it is good to keep it in our own hands as a backup technology, after all, as a server company, we also have the need to write our own operating programs and application software. Scott said unhurriedly.
But Taylor was not discouraged, and continued to instill in Scott that Oak didn't matter, and that $3.12 million was already a good price.
And no matter what Scott says, he said that $3.12 million is already the highest price.
Hell, Scott was unimpressed, saying that he would leave Oak to their company to develop itself.
The two of them are like two bulls that don't give in to each other, and they are still red-eyed.
After a long time, seeing that Scott still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, Taylor loosened his tie in a bit of anger, and then said unceremoniously: "Mr. Scott, three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, this is my bottom limit, if you agree, I will sign a contract with you now, if you don't agree, then I have to say sorry, Oak can only be left to your company to develop by itself." ”
After saying that, Taylor stood up and looked at Scott with an expressionless face, and if Scott didn't agree, he was about to leave.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars? I'm afraid I still won't be able to promise you. ”
Scott couldn't help laughing, and Taylor, who was laughing, was uncomfortable, and even his scalp was numb.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Scott. ”
After saying this, Taylor didn't look back, and walked straight out the door.
Well, that's right, unless Scott agrees to sign a contract now, Taylor will definitely leave this time.
It's not that he's just going to break the jar and give up on himself, and don't want Oak technology at all.
It's just a ploy on his part.
He can also be regarded as a figure who has been in the business world for nearly 20 years, and has been doing well, and can even be said to be the youngest and most outstanding middle-level cadre in the company.
The fact that he was able to open a bank in the Soviet Union on behalf of the Anheuser-Busch company is a good proof of this.
And if there is no problem with Budweiser Bank in Moscow, he should go to AB InBev, a subsidiary of the head office, to be a vice president this year, or next year, or an assistant to the president.
His past experience told him that when it came to today's situation, it was impossible to talk about it, and even if he was willing to pay a higher price, the other party would not sell Oak to him.
In other words, if you continue to talk about it, you can only arouse the other party's attention to Oak, and even be vigilant, which will greatly increase the difficulty for yourself.
And when he left, he took retreat as advance, and regained the initiative in his own hands.
And the other party will be calm, think about it carefully, and even regret it, call on the third and fourth days, and ask him to come over and talk about it in a low voice, after all, if you add another 50,000 US dollars, the price he offered is really not low.
Dry the other party for a few days, or even half a month, and wait for the next time he comes to the door again, and then loosen his mouth more or less, add a little price, and this thing is basically done.
If you really encounter one or two strange things, then go again, and this time the other party will be longer.
This ploy can be said to be the ploy of his Taylor, and he is almost invincible by relying on this ploy to get away with it.
It can even be said that if it weren't for Fang Chen's resoluteness and the time being too urgent, he was confident that he would take Oak down for $500,000.
Moreover, this negotiation with Scott was really uncomfortable for him.
Every time Scott showed that kind of meaningful look and mysterious smile, he felt uncomfortable and looked through.
But who knew that Taylor said that he was leaving, Scott's face changed drastically, and he suddenly said coldly: "Then Mr. Taylor, if you go, I won't send it, and I hope that you and other people in the company you belong to will not step into the door of our company in the future, I don't welcome you! In addition, I tell you, don't say 350,000 dollars, you just pay 3.5 million dollars, I can't sell Oak to you." ”
Hearing this, Taylor suddenly seemed to be petrified, and the whole person was stupid, how could Scott say that, he played cards completely out of common sense, how could he say such a reason.
And he won't even let people in, how can his plan be carried out.
Most importantly, he felt that Scott said that he would not sell him for $3.5 million, which was true, not angry!
In an instant, the sweat on Taylor's forehead fell, and he couldn't help but tremble, he was almost sure that Scott really saw through him completely, and all his thoughts, Scott knew!
