Chapter 12 See the Move
Dormitory building, at the end of the hallway. Gu Mojie pretended to be chatting and pulled Ferdinand to get down to business. As he spoke, Gu Mojie looked blankly at the hallway, making sure no one approached.
Ferdinand took out an envelope and stuffed it into Gu Mojie's hand, of course Gu Mojie would not hide and push, but simply put it in his pocket.
Judging from the thickness, it should be only a thousand yuan, which is still not enough to buy a mobile phone.
Seeing that Gu Mojie accepted the first payment, Ferdinand was not as embarrassed as at the beginning, and said:
"Ajie, Xiao Xuan's matter, thank you, the material he wanted, in the end, my mother still chose one of the copies you wrote, processed it a little, and put it on top. But Xiao Xuan's job is not very demanding, it can only be counted as this price, you know.
If the extended materials you later gave me really had to be sent to the patent office, it would take a lot of time to review the materials. And if the buyer can't find someone who happens to know the trade, the other party will inevitably have doubts about the success rate. β
Ferdinand's words, in fact, went through many times of organization before he said the current relatively smooth Cheng dΓΉ. Because there are many things in it, he doesn't understand it himself, and he is just a messenger.
When he said it, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his heart, which showed that he was still a student mentality, and he couldn't be as cheeky as a businessman to pit his teammates.
However, Ferdinand's vagueness did not affect Gu Mojie's understanding as soon as he heard it: the things he took out in the past two weeks were misappropriated as a "stepping stone for immigrants in the college entrance examination" after being evaluated by the people in the law firm and used in Qian Junxuan's affairs; Several other copies have been put on hold, and there is no buyer for the time being, so there is no way to monetize.
Gu Mojie sorted out his feelings and tried to make himself appear as less aggressive as possible: "We have a commitment to modify the service in the future, right?" None of this can dispel the other party's doubts about quality? That's not going to be said in the past. β
"Of course, this is what you said: the problem is, we can't disclose your personal information to buyers, many potential customers don't know who is catching the knife for them, can they not worry about it before placing an order? You think, suppose the buyer is an engineer with a status and a professional title, let him know that the indicator he wants to buy is a high school student......"
What Ferdinand said must be somewhat true, but Gu Mojie knew that this was definitely not the truth.
Because Gu Mojie had already given a full discount when he offered the price. The function of the discount is to allow the middleman to use this part of the price difference as an effort to dispel the doubts of the other party. The other party is still playing 100% business with him, which is not normal.
For example, in another seven or eight years, a batch of goods from unknown sources but with actual quality inspection will not be sold on the Digbao network? Of course not. There is no way to prove the origin of the brand, but it can't be sold in Tmall's officially certified authentic store. But if you're cheap enough, Taobao has consumers who buy unlicensed imitations to take over.
While the law firm received the materials from Gu Mojie at the price of an unlicensed imitation, it said that the other party suspected that no one had placed an order for the "brand", which was obviously because someone in the middle link was too greedy or had other ideas, and wanted to sell the imitation as a genuine product.
Of course, Gu Mojie is not worried that Ferdinand will lie to him, but Ferdinand is also a master with insufficient social experience after all, and he may be discounted by the upper family when he spreads the word.
So Gu Mojie decided to take the opportunity to force it, at least find a breakthrough from Ferdinand, and connect to a deeper link.
"Brother Nan, of course I don't blame you for this-if it weren't for your righteousness, my brother wouldn't have found this way. However, when things get to this point, we should always have a little right to know--these words, did your aunt tell you? β
Gu Mojie and Ferdinand, originally when they saw each other's parents, they both called "uncle/aunt", but Gu Mojie suddenly changed his words and used the dramatized title of "aunt", Ferdinand can of course feel that the atmosphere of the words is different, which is a prelude to business.
"It's not my mother who sued me, I didn't dare to ask, she has a lot of things, and this kind of little word won't ask the whole way. It's my cousin...... Oh no, it's my cousin, they had an early winter break at school and interned at my mom's law firm. She helped review the materials about this, so she knew. Among the materials you gave, the only one that was realized and used by Xiao Xuan was also made possible by my sister. It's just that she doesn't have a lawyer's license, so she is not qualified to talk about formal patent business......"
Ferdinand's voice grew lower and lower, and finally he wanted to try to talk to him, "Anyway, our final exams are only ten days away, Applejack, why don't you put this thing aside for a while?" It's important to prepare for the exam first. β
"Thanks, I'm measured - can you give me a contact information about your cousin you just said? If you don't have a mobile phone number, QQ will also work. β
Ferdinand couldn't refuse, he couldn't neither return the payment to the supplier nor inform the other party of the temple gate where the incense was burned, right? It seems that in order to prove that what he said is true, Ferdinand directly gave Gu Mojie the mobile phone number and QQ of his cousin Fei Liluo.
As for Ferdinand's persuasion to Gu Mojie to stop for a while and then talk about it after the final exam, it was directly ignored by Gu Mojie.
Just kidding, it's because it's almost winter vacation that he needs to quickly scrape together enough money, buy a CDMA mobile phone and other crime tools, and then make good use of the twenty days of winter vacation to study the functions that Hatsune Musume hasn't yet excavated.
Now it is the end of the year that the people in the system brush the KPI **, and things are the best to sell; If it really passes the New Year, and there is no year-end bonus KPI to force it, which of those bureaucrats will be in a hurry to pay for it?
Final exams, he really didn't care. It's the third year of high school, at best, the results of the college entrance examination are a little valuable, just a final exam, what is there to pay attention to? Gu Mojie even thought about the excuse why he "played abnormally", and used the prepared excuse to prevaricate his parents' questions during the New Year.
Gu Mojie doesn't have a mobile phone, and there is no way to make calls at school. However, he still took advantage of the opening time of the electronic reading room before the evening self-study, and added Fei Liluo's QQ on the Internet.
Fei Liluo's QQ friend application needs to verify the information, Gu Mojie did not hide it, wrote the meaning directly, and quickly verified it.
β¦β¦
Obviously, this moment Fei Liluo is hanging on QQ.
In fact, there are few people in the consulting service industry who are not on QQ around the clock.
When she received Gu Mojie's QQ friend application, Fei Liluo was really a little surprised.
She is quite arrogant and cold: she is not an honor student, her family is not bad, and she is strong and studious; Which of her sophomores of the same age could get the opportunity to observe and intern in a law firm at such a young age?
With such a cold temperament, although she hangs QQ all the year round, whoever wants to add her friends has to go through a very strict screening of questions.
Before the holiday, there were two boys from the major next door who added her QQ, and she directly pretended to ignore it - she didn't know anyone, just because she was a classmate of the same college, so she had to add your QQ? What about the 20,000 students of Qiantang University, isn't QQ going to explode?
In a word, Feliro has no shortage of companions to chat with at all.
Even so, when she received Gu Mojie's friend application and saw the verification message "I am the one who provided Ferdinand with the materials", Fei Liluo was inexplicably at a loss.
This sentence does not reveal the meaning of wanting to treat Felilo as a friend of the same age. It was purely businesslike, but Feliro couldn't help but agree to the application, and it felt like she was facing a customer who couldn't be offended.
"Hello Miss Fei, I'm sorry to disturb your work. I'm Ferdinand's classmate, if I don't mind, can I call you Sister Fei? β
Seeing the first sentence popping up in the QQ chat window, Feliro was a little depressed.
Although the other party's words were very polite, there was not a word of substance, and the ghost of Feliro explained it. didn't wait for the other party to ask questions, it seemed that as long as she pushed off the burden, she could be more relaxed.
"I've seen the material for your affair, and it's fine. But I can't take responsibility for finding a buyer...... Your classmate's resume is what I did for you. But I don't have a lawyer's license, and you have a few materials left to go through the patent office, and I can't go out and talk to people in the name of the law firm, so I'm really embarrassed. The firm has also arranged for Mr. Li to be in charge of your affairs, and I can give you his contact information directly if necessary......"
Gu Mojie was stunned for a moment, looking at the words on the screen, the kind of graceful and weak caution revealed between the lines, there was no strong anger at all.
Originally, because of preconceived ideas, Gu Mojie thought that the women of the Fei family were all strong women and men.
"Sister Fei, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame in the slightest, and you don't have to give me Lawyer Li's contact information. I just want to get a rough idea of where the problem is heading? Is it not satisfied with my asking price, or is it ......"
"The price you offered was already very low, lower than everyone else's. However, according to my observation, it should be that Mr. Li is not interested in this matter, and even if there are clients who are interested, he will give priority to those anonymous results that are more reliable - even if the results are more profitable in terms of price, he does not recommend them. β
This really surprised Gu Mojie, but it also made him keenly capture two pieces of information from Feliro's words:
First of all, Feliro had been following his business for a long time, and had done everything in her power to help facilitate one of the small deals. Maybe it's because they're curious about what high school students can do, or maybe it's because they're still interns and want to make some achievements and gain some experience.
Whatever the reason, as long as Feliro was inclined to facilitate his affairs, then no matter what Feliro's motives were, at this point, Gu Mojie and Feliro had common interests, although the two of them had never met.
Second, Fei Liluo should be very trusted by her aunt Vivien Leigh, because from the fact that she can know the recent performance composition of other lawyers in the firm, it can be proved that the other party has access to the current accounts of the firm.
Then, the problem should lie with another lawyer who is directly involved in peddling matters and is also familiar with Gu Mojie.
Gu Mojie went through it in his mind, and he didn't expect that he might offend the other party, how could he make the other party rather not earn commissions than contribute to his own affairs?
Of course, it is too much to say that there is a commission and do not want to earn. In fact, at the beginning of 2003, the domestic patent naming market was still an obvious seller's market. On the one hand, due to the blowout of demand brought about by the professional title evaluation system since the new century, and on the other hand, the scarcity of patent agency law firms, as long as the lawyer is engaged in this industry, he will not have to worry about having no work to do in recent years.
The stock of resources in Lawyer Li's hands should be enough for him to eat for a year and a half, so the other party can completely prioritize according to his personal likes and dislikes, and press Gu Mojie's materials for a few months before making a move.
This is a battle of wills that harms others and does not benefit oneself.
However, "harming others and not benefiting oneself" is not the same as "harming others and harming oneself", and there is still a chance to break the situation.
Those who harm others and benefit themselves are just philistines; Those who harm others and do not benefit themselves are called disgusting; Those who harm others and themselves are purely perverted. According to Fei Liluo's description, Gu Mojie judged that Lawyer Li, who was pinching his materials, should be just a disgusting person, and he had not yet reached the perverted Cheng DΓΉ. As long as it's not a pervert, there must be a way to deal with it.
"Miss Fei, can you give us a general overview of the other party's situation?"
Gu Mojie suppressed the anger in his heart when he first heard that he had been counted, and typed steadily.
