Chapter 166: The Impact of Five Million Dollars

readx;

What Lin Hong said to Joseph was not nonsense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The aunt on Wall Street he is talking about is actually his mother's good sister, that is, Mu Simin's sister Mu Sitong.

He didn't know exactly what it was, but he had heard of it, and it seemed to be related to finance.

Joseph's trick Lin Hong saw it very clearly, his mind had already been seen through by Lin Hong, pretending not to care on the surface, and then putting pressure on him through the researchers of his own company, so as to create an illusion that they didn't care even if they didn't buy.

Lin Hong didn't plan to negotiate this price with him himself, he didn't know the overall situation, of course he couldn't make an accurate estimate, in his opinion, he could sell as much as he could, and he didn't expect to take advantage of it, but if the other party fooled him, it would be a big mistake.

The last sentence was exactly what Lin Hong said to him.

You say you have the ability to get your patents approved early? Then go ahead, I can't stop you, but someone else does, and obviously, AT&T's competitors are just that.

In game theory, this is called borrowing.

Joseph stopped, stood there for a moment, and then returned to his previous seat.

"Ok, stone, I apologize to you for your previous attitude, and I think we should talk about it again, openly and honestly."

As soon as he stood in place, his mind turned sharply, and he realized that the young man in front of him didn't seem to be so easy to deal with.

He had always wanted to control the right to speak and let the other party follow his own train of thought, but he unconsciously fell into passivity.

It's funny that I always thought he was a country kid who didn't know anything.

This time, Joseph seemed much more sincere. He re-quoted a price-

Five million dollars.

This is a one-time patent buyout price, and if Lin Hong accepts it, it means that he waives all rights related to this patent.

Joseph took out the check book on the spot, as long as Lin Hong nodded, after signing the agreement, he could write the check to Lin Hong on the spot.

Cook looked at the check in Joseph's hand. There is a feeling of dry mouth.

He swallowed a breath of air, his heart quickened, and his blood pressure rose.

That's five million!

He probably won't be able to make that much money in his lifetime

turned his head to look at Lin Hong and found that the other party still didn't have any expression.

This kid can really hold his breath! Cook had to be genuinely impressed.

In the end, Lin Hong still didn't nod and agree on the spot, but he could feel that at least the other party didn't treat him as a fool this time, and really treated him as an equal business partner.

Business negotiations are certainly not such a simple thing, and it is very rare to sign a contract intention on the spot, and Joseph often does this kind of thing. Of course he knows this, he came here this time just to convey a meaning. Look at the latest chapters in the library // By the way, see if you can take a small advantage or something, if the other party is a hillbilly who picks up money and doesn't understand anything, tens of millions of dollars are smashed up, and the agreement is signed in a daze, it is an unexpected surprise.

However, the probability of this happening is relatively low. He has been in this business for so many years, and he has only encountered five or six such opportunities, and the young man in front of him is obviously not one of them.

The offer of five million is only a first intention, and it is not non-negotiable. The reason why I came back to quote this price was not at all because I didn't want to create opportunities for competitors. If the company's development strategy is wrong because of his stupid mistake, then he will be responsible.

In a word, AT&T is not short of money, and millions of dollars are just a drop in the bucket for this behemoth.

If they can buy this patent, they will create a lot more wealth than that. Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't make money. As long as you can cause enough problems for your competitors.

Before leaving, Joseph left a business card for Lin Hong and asked him to call him at any time when he thought clearly.

"Five million dollars, Stone, you're not tempted at all?"

After Joseph was gone, Cook finally screamed like a child.

"I'm not tempted to be fake. But I'm not used to making decisions so hastily. Thank you, Cook, and I won't treat you badly when this deal is done. ”

"Haha, don't say that. I didn't expect this patent to be favored by AT&T. It seems that we were lucky enough to file a patent application just before them. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Cook sent Lin Hong back.

Back in his room, Lin Hong revealed his true emotions.

He couldn't believe what had just happened now, too.

That's five million dollars!

Converted into at least 15 million RMB.

What is this concept?

The most money Lin Hong has seen in his life is the $3,000 he carried when he came to the United States.

But today, there are five million dollars in front of him, which has to be said to be like a dream.

In China, even a 10,000-yuan household is a great event, and there are few such people in a village.

If it weren't for the patent acceptance letter given to him by Cook in his hand, Lin Hong really doubted whether he was dreaming.

Doing it in front of the computer in a daze, Lin Hong no longer had the interest to continue to crack the calculator, and all kinds of thoughts were churning in his mind, and he thought of many things.

With money, he can do a lot of things.

You don't have to do the math to get a phone, and you don't have to worry about buying a hundred-dollar calculator.

With the money, he could also order a computer as powerful as Arthur.

With money, my father didn't have to work so hard every day in the car and wood factory, so that the family of three could live together......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head again.

It seems that having money is not enough.

He remembered his titular cousin, Feng Tianyu.

At the beginning, he never forgot every word Feng Tianyu said in his ear, his contemptuous eyes, his every movement, Lin Hong still remembers it vividly.

He is no longer the country kid who didn't know anything, through reading, through television. By observing the people and things around him, he has developed a deeper understanding of privilege, hierarchy, and prejudice.

Although he had the heart to change the situation of his family before, he was powerless. He didn't know how to change or where to start.

Although he never expressed these emotions, it didn't mean that he didn't care about these people at all, but he knew that no matter what he did before, he couldn't change the facts he was facing, he just didn't want to do meaningless things.

And what happened today finally gave him a glimmer of realization.

It turned out that these things that he had always been interested in could bring him great wealth!

It's not enough to just have money, but it's a great place to start.

In a person's life, there will always be such a few events that can change their life, these events may be natural disasters**, or they may be a trivial matter, but for the person concerned, it can have a huge impact on his soul. These shocks will urge the person to begin to introspect, to start thinking outside the usual perspective, to look down on themselves from above, and to make decisions that will affect their lives.

Back then, when Lin Hong first came into contact with the radio, his heart was shocked and he embarked on the road of "ham". When I first heard about computers from Linus, I was shocked again and fell in love with computer technology.

And today, in a small town in Boston, Massachusetts, Lin Hong, who has been living an ordinary life, once again encountered a spiritual shock, he began to re-examine himself for the first time, began to re-examine the technology he had been pursuing, and began to plan his life for the rest of his life......

Many years later, when Lin Hong recalled the turning point in his life, he always thought that the experience of that night had the greatest impact on his subsequent life, and his outlook on life and worldview had been subverted like never before.

Lin Hong didn't do anything that night, stood in front of the window, and stayed quietly for a night.

The next day was Saturday, and during the morning exercise, Lin Hong proposed to Arthur to go to New York to visit his brother and aunt.

Arthur didn't know that Lin Hong still knew people in New York, and after detailed inquiry, he learned that Lin Hong's senior brother was the one who opened a martial arts gym in New York, and he was so happy that he strongly asked to go with Lin Hong, and as a result, Matthew also had to follow him to see it.

Lin Hong only said this, in fact, this is what he meant, after all, he is still unfamiliar with life here, and if he goes over with Arthur and Matthew, it will be smoother anyway, and there is no need to ask back and forth all the time.

Because the people from the telecommunications company might go to the headquarters of the SAM Association to install telephone lines today, they first went to Pisen's house after morning exercises, explained the matter to Pisen, and asked him to go to the headquarters of the association today to take care of it, and they had something to do to go to New York.

For such a heavy task, Pissen naturally agreed, although he also wanted to go to New York with the army to join in the fun, but there was no way, the association had something to do today, and he had to stay alone.

Coming out of Pisen's house, Lin Hong and the three of them set off towards New York, the driver is still Matthew, although the two of them are now learning to drive under the guidance of Matthew, but this time they have to go far and get on the highway, which is not a joke, if you drive without a license and are caught by the police, the consequences are very serious.

Before leaving home, Lin Hong had already brought all the remaining money with him, and after experiencing last night's incident, his way of thinking about problems was completely different, and he felt a little funny when he thought that he sometimes had to worry about spending a few dollars before.

As the saying goes, the sea was once difficult to water, but Wushan is not a cloud. The current Lin Hong is no longer the Lin Hong of the past. (To be continued)
