Chapter 111: I want $500 million
Three more, ask for collection, ask for recommendation votes for support, thank you.
In the tea room, Ye Wei, who had been cured of paralysis by Luo Rui, smiled and made a pot of tea for Luo Rui and the others. Gao Zhiyuan and his son sat down with Luo Rui, looking forward to the president of NT Company discussing cooperation with Luo Rui.
Foreigners do business more directly, unlike domestic businessmen, who have to say so many polite words.
President Mike took a sip of tea lightly and gave a thumbs up appreciatively: "This tea tastes good, Mr. Rory, I heard that the 'height enhancement drug' you developed has obtained a patent certificate, is that so?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Mike."
"Mr. Rory, the effect of this height enhancement drug is said to have been verified in you, I saw the introduction on the Internet, saying that after you took this height enhancement drug, your height has grown 6 centimeters, is this the case?"
Rory smiled, "Yes, Mr. Mike. To be exact, I've grown 7 centimeters taller, and I've grown another centimeter in the last two weeks. ”
"Oh! That's exciting news. Mr. Lowry, our company is very interested in your height enhancement drugs. If you are willing to transfer the technology to our company, we can give you a transfer fee of $100 million per year. ”
Rory was a little unhappy: "Mr. Mike, you want to buy out my height enhancement pills for 100 million dollars, and you look down on me too much." The effect of this drug is unique, and if it is promoted to the market, it will definitely be appreciated by consumers. There are at least hundreds of millions of people in the world who are below the normal level, and even if my height enhancement pills only sell for a hundred dollars per bottle, that is tens of billions of dollars in business. You want me to transfer 100 million dollars to you, it's so unreasonable. I can't agree to that request. ”
President Mike pretended to cough: "Mr. Lowry, I think you misunderstood, the $100 million I just said is an annual transfer fee. You don't have to do anything, you can make $100 million a year, so why not. ”
"Mr. Mike, the $100 million a year is really staggering. If I agree to your request, I can easily become a billionaire. But my medicine is worth less than what you paid. Even if my height enhancement pill sells for $1,000 a bottle, there will be no shortage of markets, and I won't worry that no one will buy it. If nothing else, there are more than 120 million people in Japan, and this market alone is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. If we add the market in China, the value of high-enhancement drugs is a market of hundreds of billions of dollars. A transfer fee of $100 million a year is too low. ”
Mike shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Mr. Lowry, making money is not as simple as you think. If we are to produce and sell hyper-enhancement drugs, we need many factories, many employees, many machinery and equipment, many managers, and huge taxes to the government. We will bear the cost, production and sales, and enter the market, and we will do all the work. All you're doing is transferring technology, you don't have to invest in anything. Give you $100 million a year, and if you live to be a hundred years old, we'll have to pay you $10 billion in transfer fees. Mr. Lowry, I think the terms I have given are very generous. What else are you not satisfied with? ”
"Mr. Mike, if you are willing to give me $500 million a year in transfer fees, I can say yes. A transfer fee of $100 million a year, which is too little. ”
Rory's words made President Mike's face very unhappy, and his attitude had changed: "Mr. Rory, you are too greedy, the transfer fee of five hundred million dollars a year, this is simply a robbery." Do you know how many companies around the world make a net profit of $500 million a year? I don't think there are more than a thousand. It's unreasonable for you to want to make more money than one company with just one technology. ”
"Mr. President, if you get my technology, I believe that your company's stock will also rise wildly, and the income will exceed tens of billions of dollars, and the annual transfer fee of 500 million yuan seems exaggerated, but it is not high. Diamonds are also stones, and the value of ordinary stones is very different. In the same way, there is a world of difference between my technology and other people's technology, and it is normal for the asking price to be high. ”
Mike was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lowry, I'll discuss with the people on the board of directors of the company first, although I am the president, after all, the company is not my private business." The transfer price of $500 million is not something I can decide on alone. ”
"Alright, Mr. President, I'll wait for your reply."
Now Rory sat on the couch and waited. President Mike ran outside and spoke to the boardroom.
Gao Cheng looked at Luo Rui with envy: "You kid is really a bull, you can easily make hundreds of millions of dollars, compared to you, I am really a piece of." ”
"Gao Cheng, don't bury me, you kid, this thing can't be done, it's not necessarily." Rory smiled and stopped talking. Closing my eyes connects with the title system in my head.
"Title, if my height-enhancing drugs are transferred to NT companies, they contribute funds, I only contribute technology, and how much prestige can I get for every person I get recognized."
"Rory, I need to remind you. If your 'height enhancement drug' is affixed with the trademark of NT Company, then the consumer recognizes NT Company, not you. ”
Luo Rui was shocked: "You mean, if the height enhancement pills are produced and sold with the trademarks of other companies, the person who gets recognition is not me, and I will not get the prestige." ”
"Of course, how can the products of other companies be recognized by others and be counted on your head and make you gain prestige? When you transfer technology, you have already transferred everything to them, and the reward you get is money, and of course you can't earn prestige anymore. ”
"Damn, your method of calculating prestige is too harsh, so to speak, only the height enhancement pills sold under my 'Huarui Company' trademark can bring me prestige, right?"
"Yes, Huarui Company is registered in your name, you are the boss of the company, consumers recognize height enhancement pills, and of course they will recognize you, and you will naturally be able to gain prestige."
"So, if I transfer the technology to NT and sell it under the trademark 'Huarui Company', will I gain prestige?"
"In that case, for every person you get recognized, you can get 1/10 of the prestige."
"This ...... It's too unreasonable, I provide mature technology, every time I get a person's approval, how can I only get 0.1 prestige, let alone half of the prestige. ”
"Lowry, a product, R&D, production, sales, logistics, after-sales service, those are all very important. You're just a developer, and someone else invests a lot of money in something else, and you can get 10/10th of your reputation, which is the limit. ”
Luo Rui wanted to swear a swear word, but after thinking about it, the value research and development of a bottle of height-enhancing drugs only accounted for 10%, which seemed to make some sense.
"Forget it, one-tenth of the prestige is one-tenth, as long as Mike agrees to label the production and sales of height enhancement pills with the trademark of 'Huarui Company', and is willing to give 500 million US dollars a year, I will transfer it to him, if I sell 10 million bottles of height enhancement pills every year, even if I only earn one-tenth of the prestige, I can also get one million prestige. With prestige, I can change other titles, and with that money, I can engage in other technologies, and conquer other people with products. ”
Rory opened his eyes and waited for President Mike.
Mike made a phone call for half an hour, blushing and thick-necked, and finally got into the tea room.
Mike didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Rory, the transfer fee of 500 million US dollars is too much, the board of directors does not agree to this request, we can only give you a transfer fee of up to 200 million US dollars per year, this is our bottom line, and we can no longer make concessions." If you agree, we can make a deal. ”
