"Six million dollars" Edison frowned at hearing the figure.

Even for Edison, 6 million was not a small amount, and at the exchange rate of the era, 6 million dollars could even buy a dreadnought-class battleship for a country's navy. And Tesla, who worked under him back then, only earned $18 a week a week.

Of course, this is not to say that Edison took out this money, but even if he was determined to get the 'tungsten filament', it would never be possible for him to pay so much money for a 'filament'.

Tesla and Edison turned against each other because Edison promised to provide him with a reward of $50,000 as long as Tesla completed the improvement of DC generator equipment.

As a result, when Tesla finished his job and demanded cash, Edison told him, "When you become a full American, you will appreciate American jokes." Later, Tesla asked to raise the weekly salary of $18 to $25, but Edison still refused, so Tesla angrily resigned, and the two became completely opposed.

So after glancing at Yan Shao's too young face, Edison quickly had an idea in his heart.

In the eyes of many people, Edison can be said to be the greatest inventor of our time, and even Yan Shao thinks so. However, many people may overlook one thing, and that is that Edison was not only the greatest inventor of our time, but also a successful businessman.

For businessmen, similar business negotiations can be said to be fundamental.

On the other hand, Yan Shao didn't have much similar experience, so it didn't take long for Yan Shao to collapse in the negotiations. It's just that in the face of Edison's price of $2.5 million, Yan Shao could not agree to it no matter what.

"I'll take my leave..."

After the conversation collapsed, he bowed slightly, and Yan Shao left the office.

In the negotiation just now, Yan Shao was not Edison's opponent at all, but the 'tungsten filament' and related processing technology in his hand were Edison's ambitions. As long as there is such an advantage, no matter how high Edison's negotiation skills are, there is nothing to be done.

"I didn't think I could do this..."

Thinking of the details of the 'tungsten filament', Edison sat down in his seat with a look of chagrin on his face.

Yan Shaocai returned home in the carriage and saw Elano and Caterina standing at the door waiting for him with a smile on their faces.

"Didn't you get it done?" Elaline asked softly with a slight smile.

"Yes..."Nodding, Yan Shao was a little helpless. That old man is quite stubborn, and he has been insisting on the number of two hundred and five..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao was also a little annoyed in his heart.

After all, it's not good to give a number, but to give two hundred and five, does he look like two hundred and five?

"Forget it, you guys eat first, I'll go out again..."As soon as he walked in the door, Yan Shao changed his mind and turned around to leave.

"Why do you want to go out again?" Elaline was preparing a meal there, and it was a little strange to see Yan Shao going out again.

"I'm going to go to Elder Li's place and ask him to help find an expert in this area..."Yan Shao put on his shoes as he spoke.

He doesn't understand business negotiations at all, and if it passes like this tomorrow, the final result is not much different from today. So Yan Shao plans to ask Li Mao to see if he can find a talent in this area before tomorrow.

"Is it just a negotiation? There's one in front of you—" Eleno said with a smile as he set the last plate away.

Hearing Elano say this, Yan Shao and Caterina were stunned.

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to react, Elaline took off his apron and continued to laugh. "Why, don't you believe it? You can't forget what I studied in college, do you? ”

When I was in college, I didn't study so many languages to be a professional translator, but to become the backbone of a company or even start my own business one day. So in addition to languages, she also used to be involved in business when she was in college.

And negotiation skills, of course, are also included in this knowledge.

"Really?" Yan Shao was happy in his heart, to be honest, he was also a little tired of often asking others for help, after all, it was a debt of favors, and the most difficult thing in this world was favors.

Even if the other party didn't think about letting him return the favor, this kind of thing will make people a little uncomfortable after all.

"Of course," Elaline replied after chuckling.

Receiving this answer, Yan Shao immediately cheered and hugged her in his arms.

Lying in Yan Shao's arms, looking at his happy appearance, Elaino's heart also flashed with joy.

The two of them, who were immersed in joy, didn't notice the gloom that flashed across Caterina's face as they stood in the doorway. However, she quickly adjusted her mood and stepped forward to be happy for Yan Shao.

————————————————————

When he saw the two women behind Yan Shao, a hint of surprise flashed in Edison's eyes. But he quickly adjusted his mindset and focused all his attention on the next negotiations.

It's just that to his surprise, the negotiation object this time was not Yan Shao, but one of the two women behind him.

When he saw Elaline sitting elegantly in front of him, Edison's heart suddenly rose a little bad.

Sure enough, when the negotiations began, she showed her shrewd side, grasping Edison's ambition for 'tungsten filament' and not giving an inch to a specific amount.

The rhetoric at the negotiating table was completely different, but seeing Elano sitting there elegantly competing with Edison. I don't know what Yan Shao is for, Yan Shao suddenly remembered that after the middle of the night, her slightly open sandalwood mouth and that smart pink tongue...

"Hmm, do you want her to change her clothes and play with the temptation of uniforms when she goes back..."

With the fantasy of Elino wearing the OL uniform in his mind, Yan Shao's originally serious expression became a little obscene.

Katarina, who already knew Yan Shao quite well, although she didn't know what she was thinking, she could guess a little after looking at his expression.

Thinking that Ileno was there to fight for his interests, but he was thinking nonsense here, Katarina, who was a little annoyed, secretly came to Yan Shao's waist with her elbow.

Yan Shao, who was successfully attacked by the sneak attack, only felt a pain in his waist, and when he looked up, he saw Katarina's annoyed appearance, and hurriedly packed up his mind and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Eleno, who was at the negotiating table, didn't know what was happening next to the road, and after a dull life, Elano felt that she was really playing to her strengths at this moment, instead of being like a housewife, who could only play a role in the room every day...

Sitting opposite, wiping the fine sweat on his forehead, Edison also had to admit that the elegant woman opposite was indeed a difficult opponent, at least dozens of times more difficult than the Chinese surnamed Yan.

Just to get him to promise a $6 million fee, that's absolutely impossible...

So, the negotiations are still going on...

After several days of grueling negotiations, the two sides were at a standstill on the figure of five million.

Seeing that today's negotiations were likely to end in vain, Elaline, who was about to get up and leave, got a hint from Yan Shao on the side.

With a light sigh and a slight opening of her lips, Elaline offered another condition.

"We can lower the price to 4.7 million, but on the condition that we can use this patent unconditionally in China..."

This is also what Yan Shao proposed to Elaline last night.

If you can get the permission to use it unconditionally in China, then you can give up hundreds of thousands of benefits.

After so many days of negotiations, Edison was also a little tired. If it were another businessman, he might consider using special means to deal with Yan Shao for the benefit of millions of dollars, but he is not only a businessman, but also an inventor, he may use various means to suppress his opponents, but he will definitely not use dirty means to deal with another inventor, not to mention that Yan Shao is not a person without reputation.

So after hearing this condition, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Edison agreed to this condition.

"Yes..."

Here Edison also has his own considerations, with the current situation in China, even if the promotion of incandescent lamps goes smoothly, it is impossible to sell much in China, in this case, why not exchange for the most practical benefits?

Seeing that Edison agreed to this condition, Yan Shao's face also showed a hint of joy.

"Four million seven million..."

Leaving the electric light company and looking at this astonishing huge wealth, Yan Shao felt that he could start his own plan.

On the other side, looking up at the ceiling, although the tungsten filament he dreamed of had arrived, Edison still felt a pain in his flesh when he thought of the more than four million he had paid for it...

After all, that's more than four million dollars, even if it's enough to build a dreadnought...
