"What? You say you don't get keyboard patents anymore? You bear child, I think you owe a beating, right? ”

In a small apartment in Queens, a nearby resident suddenly heard a lioness roar.

"Joanna, sister, Sister Yuan, don't be angry!" Su Jingzhen stood on the edge of the sofa in the living room, hurriedly gesturing, as if resisting and explaining.

"Not angry? I've worked hard to help you look through the patent case, but now you say you won't do it? Not counting my lawyer's fees, not counting the printing fees of these materials, even if I count my fear when I secretly searched those sensitive materials in the company, how can you compensate for this mental damage? Don't hide, I'll kill you half-hearted little bastard. ”

Although she has only been in contact for more than ten days, Joanna has already fallen in love with this big boy from the East, this kind of liking is not the love of men and women, but in Su Jingzhen's body, Joanna saw the kind of self-improvement struggle, which is the same as the experience she had when she first came to the United States, so she had the idea to help him.

"Didn't you persuade me that night, telling me not to be so naïve, I thought about it later, it was indeed like this, it was too much to take for granted, so I didn't have the idea of going ahead with the plan." Su Jingzhen hurriedly explained, otherwise the little lioness in front of him would pounce on him and bite him to death.

"Then don't you tell me, how stupid am I, and honestly go back to the company to help you check the information!" Joanna was very angry, although she said that the miscellaneous lawyer had nothing to do, but it always took energy to check the information, no, if you can do this kind of work, you can't do it, and there is no money to collect it.

"I apologize, I made you a delicious meal to express my deep comfort!" In order to make up for his mistakes, Su Jingzhen decisively sold himself.

"A week!"

"No!! It's been too long! "Su Jingzhen would rather die than give in.

"I'll kill you!" Joanna was about to pounce.

"Two meals!"

"Seven meals" Joanna's eyes rolled, and she was already snickering in her heart.

"It's too much, you'll get fat if you eat too much." Su Jingzhen hurriedly persuaded the little lioness, in fact, it is not difficult to cook, but the handle of the knife cannot be held in the hand, and what others say is what it is, this is Su Jingzhen's character.

"Six!"

"Three meals, no more."

"Four meals, but one must be a big meal!" Three delicious meals are already Joanna's bottom line, and now that the goal has been achieved, Joanna is too lazy to fight anymore, in case the little guy's temper comes up, then it will be a chicken and egg fight.

"No, three, but one is guaranteed to be a big meal!" Su Jingzhen argued with reason.

"Deal!" Joanna couldn't help but laugh, the company's files are all cataloged, turn to the title, and then extract it, in fact, it's not a particularly tiring thing, Joanna has to do such a job every day, these three delicious meals are actually earned.

"Joanna, actually, I have finished drawing the drawings, but you are right, the registered patent costs thousands, it is my rent for a year, and I am a little irrational to take out so much money to do one thing, and it is still a hopeless thing, so I gave up." Su Jingzhen saw Joanna smile, and after knowing that she was not angry, he explained why he didn't want to implement this plan.

Joanna stopped laughing, and said after a pause: "In fact, people often do this way like yours, they all come up with an action plan or an investment case, and then come to the door to find someone to invest, in essence, these cases are the same, the difference is only that your current factory has no shadow, no finished products, and no successful examples, so I said that you are naïve."

Any company, any investor, will not pay for the risk, they will only refer the risk, and your plan is extremely risky, don't refute it first, listen to me. Joanna raised her hand to stop Su Jingzhen's rebuttal, straightened out her train of thought, and continued.

"It seems that your proposal is not risky for the general contractor, because they just need to agree to your supply requirements, and they don't need to pay money or build a factory.

But don't forget, there's a specific time limit for what you make.

For example, Dell is now going to ship 100,000 computers, and the keyboard will use the kind you designed, but you don't have it in the factory now, and you don't have anything, in case your keyboard can't arrive on time, what will happen to Dell's 100,000 computers?

Yes, he may have a different supply chain, but what if he is placing an order for two different suppliers, and you both deliver on time at the same time? He has to give money, what about the extra keyboard?

That's the risk ......"

Joanna slowly explained to Su Jingzhen the supply chain cooperation relationship between some manufacturers, expressing her disbelief in Su Jingzhen's plan.

"I can sign a contract, and if I miss the construction period, I will be fined or disqualified from cooperation to ensure his interests." Su Jingzhen actually thought about this question.

"No, you're wrong, these companies don't put the risk on this, and since they can sign such a penalty clause for lost time, then why would they look for a supplier like you who doesn't have a factory yet? Wouldn't it be better to find another factory that is already in good condition? The risk is also lower. ”

Su Jingzhen pondered for a while, it was really like this, even if he changed himself to start a company, he would do as Joanna said in choosing suppliers, and it was too risky to pin his hopes on a factory that had not confirmed himself.

Unless this factory can provide unimaginable profits, or some reasons that others cannot refuse, such as low cost, particularly good products, etc., otherwise, no matter who is in charge of the general contractor, will not agree to such a request.

Having said that, if the keyboard designed by Su Jingzhen is particularly low in cost and the product is particularly easy to use, then it is likely that the computer dealer will come to ask for the goods, rather than he will go to sell it himself.

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about how to help my family at the time, I didn't understand what you said, and you quietly helped me check the information, which made me a little moved, and I was more ashamed......" Su Jingzhen didn't joke anymore, and apologized to Joanna very seriously, this female lawyer is not related to herself, and she can be said to have an appointment relationship before, but now she has been enrolled, Joanna's task has already been completed, and she doesn't owe herself anything.

But the reality is that he lives in her house now, although Su Jingzhen has already rented the first month's rent to her a few days ago, but this is only the relationship between the landlord and the tenant, and it can't make Joanna take the initiative to help him.

Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen felt a little discouraged, he was fifty or sixty years old in his two lives, but in this matter, he was quite naïve, and he didn't plan and treat it seriously at all.

It seems that after making money and going abroad, I have become a little exaggerated, floating too high, thinking that everything is very simple, as long as I want to do it, I will be able to succeed, but the reality gave me a slap, fortunately, this slap came early, if it is really a big mistake, it will be too late.

Su Jingzhen is reflecting on herself.
