An accountant hired from the firm is helping to review the accounts.

If the decision is made to acquire, more detailed background checks, such as whether there are lawsuits, whether there are loans, employees' education and work experience, etc., will also be carried out.

For the time being, I don't need it, I haven't made up my mind, there are no other shareholders in the few companies created, and the right to speak is concentrated in his hands, whether to buy it or not depends on Han Chudong's meaning.

For the acquisition of more than one million US dollars, the money is not blown by the wind, and it must be understood clearly.

In other words, just relying on the patent licensing of this series, I will earn more than 100,000 dollars this year? Han Chudong asked with a bottle of conditioner, and there were more than a dozen products in front of him, all of which were produced through the patents of this laboratory and licensed to different manufacturers.

Both co-founders were present.

One of them, Ron, was under thirty years old, and he looked very young, and he would have been more handsome if it weren't for the receding hairline.

Smart people often use their brains and think too much about things, and they are indeed prone to hair loss, but it may also be due to genetics.

Ron told him: "Our original milk-flavored conditioner, as well as soap and body lotion, all have exclusive patents, and if we didn't understand the market at the time, the licensing price should have been set higher." ”

"The main products are in front of you, if you have channels, you should be able to find other manufacturers who are willing to buy the production formula, the transfer price we offer is not high, this is a fairly mature team. The man who said this was Serhi, a descendant of European immigrants, with a beard and glasses, and the founder of the lab.

At the beginning of contact, there are still many details that I don't understand.

Han Chudong picked up the moisturizer and tried it, the smell and the sense of use were quite good, no wonder he could make money by authorizing patents.

He looked at the two of them and asked, "So it's not an exclusive license, right? I mean, if I buy this place, will I be able to use these patents to make my own products?"

Serhi nodded and continued:

"Of course, someone offered to buy a patent, but the price we gave was a bit high, and the other party gave up.

The patent catalog was prepared in advance, and the companies to which were licensed, the duration of the license, the specific data, and the financial side of the specific data, your people are looking through it, and the signed contracts are also there. ”

The reason why I plan to buy a ready-made beauty and skin care product research institute is mainly to find some experienced talents to help develop a finished mask as soon as possible, so as not to delay making money.

Now things are a little off, and the lab is a little bigger than expected.

From what has been learned, the patents are mainly concentrated in the five categories of conditioner, body lotion, soap, perfume, and shampoo, and more than 40 patents have been derived, many of which are similar.

The real money is the milk series, which can earn more than 200,000 US dollars a year, and after deducting the expenses of personnel, rent, materials, etc., the net profit attributable to the two founders reaches nearly 100,000 US dollars.

In this way, the offer price of $1.2 million is not much, slightly higher than the actual value, and there is a risk, but it is within a reasonable range.

Han Chudong spoke: "Well, I'll find out first. Also, the performance seems to be quite good, and the two of you are so young, why do you want to transfer this company?"

Ron looked at Serhi and replied, "It has nothing to do with performance, Serhi and I are classmates, graduated from the University of Illinois, and studied chemistry with the same tutor. After graduating, I interned for a period of time, and each funded the creation of this laboratory, and its performance is absolutely fine, I can guarantee that.

It's just that neither of us is proficient in management and operation, and we can't find a better partner, so we have just stood still in the past two years. It just so happened that your person contacted me and asked me if I would like to transfer or cooperate, so we thought we could talk about it first. If the price is right, look for another entrepreneurial direction, or stay here as an ordinary employee and concentrate on research and development, instead of looking for companies everywhere to promote cooperation. ”

He nodded thoughtfully.

I have read the financial report summary of the past four years, and the income fluctuates greatly, the personnel expenses are too much, and there are so many researchers, but the best-selling products have not been developed in the past two years.

Thinking from another perspective, Han Chudong felt that in this case, he would also choose to sell his shares and cash out his profits in the next few years.

Even if you deposit money in the bank to eat interest and buy treasury bonds to eat interest, your income will have a chance to reach the current scale of net profit.

More than 40 kinds of patents, 80% of which are not too valuable, with the business model of this R&D institution, when a factory is willing to cooperate and pay money to buy a patent for the production of formulas, it can only make money, and no one wants to buy the authorized patents, which is equivalent to a waste.

He was thinking about whether he could create a higher value if these patents were in his hands, and the results were ambiguous.

If he produces facial masks, he is confident that he will kill the masks on the market now, but he really doesn't have much confidence in producing conditioners and body lotions.

The only advantage is that when selling the mask, you can bring these products together to sell it, and earn some money back by the way, the profit is unpredictable, and it depends on luck in addition to the quality.

Han Chudong changed the topic and asked: "With the employees here, can you produce a milk-flavored toner?" I mean almost like the milk we usually drink, it is best to be transparent, and it can play a role in maintaining the skin, and it can be applied to the face to moisten the skin and make people beautiful." ”

"It's not too difficult, we have a body lotion that can be changed to what you say it will be after adding water. ”

"Yes, which one, let me see it after adding water?"

Making a confusing request, Ron and Serhi looked at each other and did not refuse, bringing a bottle of viscous and transparent body lotion, and asking people to help mix it with pure water.

When I finished it, I rubbed it on my face and found that it seemed to be able to be used as a mask water.

……

No one could guess Han Chudong's thoughts.

After more than an hour, I left the R&D laboratory with only some account data and product samples, and copies of the patent certificates.

Han Chudong said that he needed to think about it, and did not give the two founders any agreements and promises.

Even if you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, you will ask for the price to check the quality, not to mention that it is such an expensive company, you have to wait until you calm down and think carefully before making a decision.

The most critical question that he struggled with was whether to cooperate directly and spend a small amount of money to ask them to help develop products, or to directly sell the R&D team and patents once and for all.

It's okay to do both, that's why I'm distressed.

I've come to San Francisco just in time for a vacation.

I didn't want to think about it for the time being, so I went to Kinmen Park for a walk, and then came to the Golden Gate Bridge......
