Chapter 146: One Week
No one wants Marvel's film and television copyrights.
Just make money by publishing comic books and receiving advertisements, and toss it from time to time, and lose some money in making anime, and the price naturally can't go up.
DC Comics has Superman and Batman on the table, and the current life is much better than Marvel, Batman has a movie, Superman's animation is very popular, and the movie is also being established.
As businessmen, they naturally think differently, and they value the company's performance more.
Mr. Russell used this to estimate the value of the company, which was between $7 million and $9 million.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too few funds available in his hand, he hadn't been in business for a long time, and he hadn't accumulated a deep family foundation, Han Chudong really wanted to win it immediately.
However, the situation is here, it will be difficult to turn over for at least ten years, so there is no need to rush for the time being.
has the memory of the future, so that Han Chudong can always see business opportunities that others can't see for the time being, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of gold.
People are often worried about the lack of investment opportunities, and their annoyance is that they have too little money to invest.
Appetite has been growing lately.
Even if you earn tens of millions of dollars in a short period of time, you still don't have the slightest sense of contentment.
Han Chudong felt that the heights he could reach were far more than just now, so why should he be self-satisfied, who doesn't want to stand at the top of the social pyramid and experience the wonderful taste of seeing the mountains at a glance.
On the way back to the company, Kiko Mochizuki listened to him talk about making money and making money, and she was almost desperate in her heart.
On average, people who can earn tens of thousands of dollars a day are still so serious and motivated that they simply don't give others a way to live.
She can earn about 30 US dollars a day, and she already feels very good, what can she say except for secretly feeling aggrieved?
......
It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the city from Burbank.
I called back to the Duracell company first, and was surprised to learn that I was only willing to pay $1.8 million for my own patents.
$1.8 million.
is a difference of millions of dollars from Han Chudong's psychological price, and he is simply bullying him as a young man who has never seen the world.
Immediately lost his temper, took the earpiece and replied: "You're kidding, right? This amount of money is not even as much as the R&D funds I have invested, so I really can't talk about it, goodbye!"
As soon as the voice fell, he hung up immediately.
The other party is insincere, and there is no need to waste time.
In fact, Han Chudong has no idea of selling the patent, unless the bid is far beyond expectations, and with Duracell's offer, let alone far beyond expectations, he can't even look at it.
It just so happens that I have a little research on lithium battery technology, and I want to set up a laboratory in the future to try to develop lithium batteries.
This aspect will not be mentioned for the time being.
The market size of dry batteries is not small, since it is sure to seize part of the market with product advantages, the head will not be sold at a cheap price if it is caught by the door.
I was so angry by this news that I was very angry.
After a few minutes, he smoked a cigar to calm down, and then found a business card and called Nolan Bushnell, this time he learned the good news, and the other party agreed to separate the home game console research and development department and partner with Han Chudong to do research and development.
It is said that it is time to discuss the details and distribute the equity of the new company according to the amount of capital contribution......
————————————
Duracell is a long-established battery manufacturer, and it is also involved in some derivative products, and has invested in some subsidiaries with spare money, which is sizable.
It's similar to what Han Chudong guessed.
One of the company's shareholders learned from Simon Lavrov of Bank of America that he was preparing to mass-produce a new alkaline dry cell battery and had found a new technology to reduce the empty consumption of electricity.
Therefore, it is recommended that professional managers investigate and follow up to see if there is a way to win.
Shareholders have a bit of power, but as a listed company, it is not one person who has the final say.
After Duracell sent someone to investigate, he found that there were indeed several new patents being applied, which felt useful, and then called to propose the acquisition.
The product director paid more attention, while the new executive only wanted to save money and do a good job in this year's financial report, and did not take the so-called energy-saving technology seriously at all, and only agreed to quote such a low price.
$1.8 million, in the eyes of some small company owners, is really not a small amount of money, to go to Beverly Hills to buy a nice house, and buy a few luxury cars.
Soon after.
The CEO of Duracell learned from the secretary that Han Chudong refused, but he still didn't pay attention to it, so he acted as if nothing had happened.
As an industry giant, he can't look down on a small start-up company, but he has already explained to that shareholder anyway.
————————
For the next week, Han Chudong rarely stayed in the company.
He personally rushed to Silicon Valley again to create a new company with Nolan Bushnell, named "Aurora Games".
Han Chudong invested 990,000 US dollars, and Nolan invested 1 million US dollars on behalf of Atari Company, accounting for 49% and 51% of the equity, and the initiative was held by Atari Company.
Judging from the investment of up to $2 million, the two sides are determined to develop this new technology, but it is difficult to say whether it will succeed in the end.
Nolan and another shareholder wanted to save money and reduce the costs invested during research and development.
On Han Chudong's side, there is one less competitor.
In advance, he was worried that he would put his money into it, but in the end, it was Atari that first developed the key technology and applied for a patent, and now that the two sides are cooperating, this worry has disappeared.
Speaking of which, there is still little money in hand, and the investment needs to be cautious, if there is an extra twenty or thirty million US dollars in the account, with Han Chudong's personality, most of them will want to eat alone and gamble to see the result.
However, at present, both thinking about this cake and not having the confidence to gamble, cooperation has become the best choice, which will greatly increase the probability of success.
Using the knowledge he had learned to help make suggestions, and recruiting a few really powerful electrical engineers, Han Chudong stayed in Silicon Valley for a few more days, and only let go after determining the direction of research and development.
Han Yigun introduced a friend who came to his son's side as a driver, and his name was Wu Hai.
Speaking of which, Wu Hai used to be a colleague with Han's father, and he was bullied by Li Huangmao and his son, so he took the initiative to choose to resign.
In his early thirties, he looks more honest, his driving skills are good, and he has just added a son to his family, and his expenses have skyrocketed, and he urgently needs money.
Han Chudong believes in Han Yigun's vision, and even more believes that since he is not on the right path with Li Sir, who has been in prison, he is most likely a good person.
Offered a six-day work week, $180 a week, and hired on a temporary basis to see how well they performed, and then arranged for insurance benefits.
I didn't bring Kiko Mochizuki to Silicon Valley this time, so I asked her to stay in the company and keep an eye on it, don't let the employees be lazy, and by the way, she was responsible for uploading and disseminating and handling business over the phone.
Wu Hai, who is a driver and bodyguard, has stayed in Silicon Valley for the past few days and has nothing to do.
I received a task today and drove to San Francisco alone to help Han Chudong bring something back......
