Chapter 214 Long-term Small Goal, Sell It for 500 Million (4 more)
Not long after, Bobby came out and changed into casual clothes: "What do you want to drink?" I have coffee here, but it's instant. ”
Luke: "No, let's sit down and talk." ”
After the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Luke got straight to the point: "I'm back from a business trip, and I'll arrange a formal job for you while I'm still a little free today." ”
As he spoke, he took out a stack of documents from the backpack he was carrying: "You can look at these slowly, I can tell you what this thing is first." These are the patent documents I applied for, and as for what kind of patent it is, you look at this. ”
Luke took out a mobile phone, although it was still a feature phone, but the screen was enlarged by him, anyway, this is a test product for display, and there is nothing wrong with being larger.
I opened a piece of software and motioned for Bobby to come over and take a look.
Bobby watched him operate for a moment, and said a little uncertainly, "This is, the map?" ”
Luke nodded, "Yes." Coupled with the GPS positioning function of the mobile phone, this can be used as a map of the whole country or even the world. The premise is that there is enough map data stored in the mobile phone. ”
Bobby was dazed: "What's the use of that?" ”
Luke snorted: "Sell it to Google, but I'm too lazy to get this thing, and the money will be pulled down by selling it." ”
Bobby: "Google...... Looks like a search engine, right? Will they ask for this? ”
Luke, hehe, gave a general idea of how this navigation map would be useful to Google.
Bobby nodded in understanding: "So, what about the price?" ”
Luke thought for a moment: "If you buy it out, the bottom line is 500 million US dollars, and you can make up a whole number." ”
Bobby:...... God is so tidy, did you say an extra zero?
Luke said this for a reason, of course.
In his last life, he casually read some reports of Google's mergers and acquisitions, and he didn't care about Google, but he was also surprised by the huge amount of money that was acquired.
Among them, Google bought Motorola Mobility for 12.5 billion US dollars in the previous life, and sold it to Lenovo in China for 2.9 billion US dollars a few years later, which is why he knows that Google is willing to pay money. (Note: But Google retains a lot of Motorola's patented technology)
How much money Google spent on navigation map apps, Luke doesn't know.
But with Google's inertia of deep pockets, coupled with the broad prospects of maps after the emergence of smart phones, it is not an exaggeration to open a $500 million knife.
And if it doesn't work out? That's not going to work.
At most, I can get some other technologies of little value and sell them.
Luke knew a lot about how things were going, but he lacked the necessary skills and funds, so he couldn't make a fortune.
Now, he has bought Tony Stark's four primary abilities, and it really doesn't take it too easy to make a fortune.
Sell this technology first, that is to see if you can get enough money at one time.
500 million US dollars, enough for Luke to spend a long time.
He's not Tony Stark, he doesn't need so much technology, and he doesn't need to burn money so fast.
Luke kept the phone and the app for Bobby to demonstrate, and took out 10,000 US dollars for the travel expenses of the past few months.
Giving cash irregularly? It's right to be informal.
Luke kept Bobby, not really expecting him to be a PR manager, just that he would be too idle and wasteful.
He even encouraged Bobby, asking him to think about how much one percent of the shares can be divided after 500 million dollars of dollars are sold for navigation map technology. That's five million dollars.
With this money, Bobby can instantly change from an ordinary person with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan to a wealthy class.
Of course, Bobby can only smile bitterly at this: Then the navigation map technology can sell 500 million!
But with this hope, it would be false to say that I was not moved.
Although Bobby didn't believe it, he still had some expectations. 500 million dollars is too much, but 100 million dollars is a real drizzle for Google.
Luke is not afraid of Google's companies messing around, and the patented technology is there!
In order to form a large number of patented technologies into basic patent technical barriers, he spent almost 100,000 yuan on the cost of registering the patent itself, and the law firm he entrusted also earned tens of thousands of dollars.
So, the villa where Luke lives now has been mortgaged.
Google is only planning for the long term, a business that makes enough money, and it is very simple for him to relax his hands for the time being.
For example, it seems that he has an uncle in Las Vegas.
California and Nevada are next to each other, and Los Angeles is only 430 kilometers from Las Vegas, which is only 4 hours by car and even more hour by plane.
However, there is still a lot of money from the mortgage, and Luke is not in a hurry.
So it was noon, and Luke drove to the USC side.
The further south USC goes, the worse the law and order, gangs, and crimes.
After driving around the neighborhood for a while, and finding a fast-food restaurant for lunch, Luke left at four o'clock in the afternoon and returned home.
The place he was looking at wasn't a secret, it was just a gathering point for the D-36 gang, whose main business was illegal drugs.
Luke's reason for tracking them down is simple, as they are the sellers of the weed that Miss Ginny has provided.
How Miss Ginny, who lives in Beverly Hills, found the gang of traffickers, for a simpler reason, because she was a USC student.
She is very rich, and she has security protection, and she dares to let the gang here deliver to her door.
Luke had already obtained basic information about the D-36 gang from Dustin and Elsa during the last Katie murder, and with his own investigation, he could roughly figure out the scope of the gang's activities.
Now that he has storage space, he can do a lot of things.
When he got home, he opened the refrigerator and looked for the ingredients first.
It's true that there are no ingredients for breakfast, but there are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator for dinner, and Selena won't get these raw meats to eat.
The seasoning was also untouched, and the staple of the evening was there.
He dug out the barbecue grill that he rarely used, moved it to the small courtyard at the back, and processed a few large pieces of meat and put it on it.
This kind of American-style country barbecue can be stuffed for five or six hours, and in order to save time, he deliberately made the meat a little smaller, and the practice of throwing five catties and ten catties of meat directly into it for roasting is still forgotten.
With this in mind, Luke started surfing the Internet, checking flights to Las Vegas, calculating the round-trip itinerary to see how to maximize the time.
Then check the big hotels in Las Vegas, the kind with entertainment halls, and they have a good reputation.
These hotels can not only afford to lose, but also ensure that after he wins a large sum of money, he will not be inexplicably targeted, and there are many outlaws who take risks for money.
There are also such entertainment venues in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, but Luke is a police officer here.
And in Las Vegas, he is a civilian, and how much money he wins there is legal.
