"Please bring life to you as sour as a lemon and as sweet as lemonade" - "Our Day"

After handling the remaining formalities of the housing transaction, getting the final payment, and completing all kinds of preparations in China, Jiang Huanshui finally set foot on the land of the United States after doing countless homework.

In the limited time, he has a lot of tasks to complete, so he doesn't have much leisure time to explore.

After handing the note with the address to the taxi driver, he closed his eyes and went through the trip over and over again in his heart.

The black brother driver sitting in the front looked at Jiang Huanshui through the rearview mirror.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a briefcase, wearing glasses, polite and polite, he didn't talk about the world after getting in the car, closed his eyes and didn't speak.

"It's a fat sheep", he couldn't help but be happy, this kind of person he met at least four or five a day at the airport, the first time he came to the United States, he was not familiar with the geography, and he also had money to go out, and more money was spent than his own.

Taxis are driving quickly on the road from the airport highway to the city, and after entering the city, the traffic volume increases, and the speed inevitably decreases.

The driver carefully stared at Jiang Huanshui's movements, and the steering wheel quietly hit the right, and the road that should have been straight now had to turn a corner, at least 3 miles more.

Jiang Huanshui did not move.

The driver was bold, and at the next intersection, he should turn right, and he went straight.

4 miles, get!

Jiang Huanshui still kept his eyes closed

At the next junction, you should turn to the roundabout and take the ramp directly to the other main road.

6 miles, get!

Jiang Huanshui's closed eyes opened, but there was still no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell whether he was annoyed or uneasy.

"Hey, this bad New York traffic, sir, there are too many cars on the road, I think it should be a little later, would you like to talk to your contact. ”

Jiang Huanshui was noncommittal, and at the next intersection, the driver just wanted to repeat the old trick and pick it again, Jiang Huanshui spoke.

"Straight on"

The driver muttered, honestly driving straight into the intersection.

"Turn Left"

"Onward"

"Turn right"

......

Under the military satellite-level precision three-dimensional map navigation in the Jianghuan Water Vision and the driving instructions of the rally pilot, the car arrived at its destination twenty minutes later.

Handing the driver a whole large bill, Jiang Huanshui's faint eyes saw that the driver was hairy, and after a while, Jiang Huanshui said leisurely.

"God bless you. ”

The black driver, who was a little nervous, replied.

"Thank you, my generous sir, and may you have a pleasant day. ”

Jiang Huanshui nodded slightly, and walked into the Faith Dorr Building, where Mr. Cohen on the 24th floor was waiting for him.

Two hours later, the news of the arrest of a taxi driver in New York City for rear-end collision with an FBI police car due to sudden colics was broadcast on the noon news channel, and everyone said that the driver was really unfortunate and must not have prayed for God to bless.

Jiang Huanshui ignored the hapless driver who had been punished by Qinak for his deception, and after a brief registration at the front desk, he met with Mr. Cohen, a patent attorney affiliated with Marnes Total, in the one-person negotiation room on the 24th floor.

Mr. Cohen is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, not tall, with a typical white American face underneath his yellow-brown hair. There was a calm glow in his pale gray pupils, and the colleagues around him would always be unfree to lower their voices and be cautious when working with him, because he was strict and orderly, paying attention to time and process, not like an American with a full personality but like an old-fashioned and serious British gentleman. In fact, Mr. Cohen is a native native of the United States, having worked as a patent attorney for five years after graduating from Harvard Law School with a master's degree. When he received Jiang Huanshui's email two days ago, he didn't want to come forward in person. In his opinion, there was no need for him to deal with an ordinary commission personally, but after reading the content that Jiang Huanshui wanted to handle in the email attachment, he suddenly became a little interested.

Now is the era of the great development of the information Internet, the major giant companies are enclosed for their own prisons, using users as soldiers, and using technology to build barriers, and in the center are various types of patents that are regarded as core competitiveness.

Marnes Total is mainly engaged in the world's most popular patent and copyright affairs, from patent prosecution agents, general patent sales, and various types of patent licensing and other businesses are their scope of operation.

There are semiconductor technology companies such as Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Intel, as well as software technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Oracle, as well as comprehensive group companies such as Apple, Sony, and Samsung.

Covering 70% of the world's patent volume and branches in more than 150 countries, it makes it the most successful and profitable patent practice entity in the world.

With the efforts of two people, the meaningless nonsense at the beginning ended in a minute, and the two sides began to have a lively discussion on the core content.

The key points of the confrontation are price and timeliness.

The key to the discussion was the number of patents of each type.

One party insists on bulk purchase authorization, which requires corresponding discounts and the provision of comprehensive solution packages.

One side insists on specific patent discussions, and each patent needs to be sold at a separate price.

After wasting a few saliva and evaporating a little saliva, the sound and the movement of the mouth up and down left the communication of the microbial community in their respective bodies.

The two sides finally reached an agreement on the intention of cooperation.

Mr. Cohen acted as the sole agent for Mr. Jiang Huanshui's purchase of 458 patents from 61 companies, including Qualcomm, Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc.

Mr. Jiang Huanshui, as the purchaser, reached a consensus intention to purchase 458 patents represented by Mr. Cohen and his team.

Under the supervision of the group's lawyers and notary public, the two parties signed a three-year purchase agreement, under which Jiang Huanshui paid a total of US$160,000 in advance and promised to pay the remaining balance of the first phase within three months.

If the payment is overdue, the advance payment will not be refunded, and Jiang Huanshui will also have to pay three times the liquidated damages of the advance payment.

In the event that the authorization is not granted or the required time is not delivered, Marnes Total will pay Mr. Jiang Huanshui 50% of the total amount of the compensation contract as compensation for the advance payment.

Together with some constraints, the first phase of the patent licensing contract with a total amount of 1.35 million yuan was officially signed.

After signing the contract, Cohen changed his serious attitude and warmly invited Jiang Huanshui to dinner, but considering that there were still quite a few unfinished affairs, Jiang Huanshui could only decline.

Coming out of the building, Jiang Huanshui breathed a sigh of relief, the most important task had been completed, and the next thing was to leave a few tasks.

The poor traffic in New York forced Jiang Huanshui to get off the bus only three kilometers away from the hotel and prepare to walk there.

As soon as he was about to walk out of an alley, Jiang Huanshui was stopped by two big men, one black and one white, with different heights and different hair colors.

It's the same with the dirty words in the mouth and the pistol in the hand.

The latter was aimed at his body.

"Robbery!"

The first time he was pointed at the muzzle of the black hole, Jiang Huanshui was surprisingly not afraid. Maybe it's because so much has happened in the past few days, and he has become numb. And the fact that two people can stand in the alley with guns in an alley separated by only a wall from a brightly lit commercial street will have a relationship with the defenders of the New York Federal Police law and law that transcends class friendship.

"Boy, put your head in your hands and kick the box over. ”

"Hurry up, don't grind. ”

Jiang Huanshui put down the box, held his head in both hands, and kicked the box over.

Black Gros continued to stare at Jiang Huanshui, and the white Paul Paul hurriedly tried to untie the box, it was obvious that the barren brain concentration was not enough for him to crack the six-digit code in a short time. He used all his strength, smashing, kicking, pulling, and even pulling out the straight knife on his body to pry it open. But it didn't work at all, and the tightly fitting box didn't even have a scratch, except for a little dust.

Paulf flew up and kicked the box back, his grim face indicating his current mood. He pointed his pistol at Jiang Huanshui again, "Open the box, shake out the contents of the box, don't play tricks"

Jiang Huanshui honestly opened the box and shook out the contents of it, a thick file bag, a few bags of chocolates, some toiletries and a change of clothes, and a black cloth bag that was not too big or small.

"Kick the bag over", Paulf first glanced at the trivial items scattered all over the place, regretfully found nothing of value, but the appearance of the black cloth bag made him re-energize.

Jiang Huanshui did as he said, gently lifted the black cloth bag, wrapped it on the ground and rolled it a few times, rubbing a layer of dust, dirty water and stains, and rolling directly to Paul's feet.

Paulf didn't care so much, "snort", and opened the zipper of the cloth bag with a soft sound.

"Oh my God"

Black Gross's gaze staring at Jiang Huanshui finally shifted, and he couldn't help but be calm for two seconds at a glance.

From his vantage point, he could see a few seductive dark green masses inside.

However, at this moment, Jiang Huanshui moved.
