After exchanging a few false greetings, Scott looked Taylor up and down with a smile.

As Scott glanced around, Taylor felt goosebumps suddenly appear on his skin, and he felt uncomfortable all over, as if a cat was staring at a mouse.

Thinking of this, Taylor laughed to himself. The role he played today was not just a mouse who threw himself into a cat's mouth.

"Mr. Taylor, before the formal conversation, can I ask you a question? As a Chinese company, how did the company you worked for know, or how did it discover oak?" Scott asked preemptively.

This question was obviously expected by Taylor. He pushed up his glasses and replied with a smile: "I discovered oak and thought it was pretty good and interesting. Then I wanted to come over and talk to you."

After hearing this, Scott's face froze slightly, and he cursed secretly: "Little fox."

If he hadn't studied Oak, Mr. Taylor and the Chinese company behind him, he would have been fooled.

Scott chuckled lightly, "Then I should say, Mr. Taylor, you are so discerning that you can actually discover oak in the vast sea of ​​technology."

Taylor's heart skipped a beat, but he still said calmly: "It's not enough to be discerning. It is my responsibility to acquire various technologies for our company. Our company acquires hundreds of technologies every year.

oak is just one of them."

Regarding Taylor's words, Scott curled his lips in disbelief, and then said casually: "In this case, it seems that we have nothing to talk about."

Having said this, Scott paused and gave Taylor a thoughtful look, "After all, oak is not important. It is just one of the hundreds of technologies your company acquires every year. It should be left to our Sun Company to develop by ourselves."

Bar."

Although Taylor still looked calm as usual, his heart was filled with turmoil, and he even cursed "fuck" so many times.

There is no doubt that Scott's words hit his weak spot.

But to be honest, he really didn't expect that after just two sentences, Scott would directly throw out the idea of ​​developing oak by himself. Isn't this the last thing he should say to threaten the other party with harsh words?

It's so unreasonable. Not only does it make him unable to fight, but it also makes him feel like someone is trying to kill someone else.

Taylor smiled bitterly in his heart. He was helpless. The oak was in the hands of the other party. Whether he could sell it or not depended on his words. There were really few cards he could play.

After pondering for a few seconds and compiling his mood, Taylor still had a slight smile on his face and said casually: "President Scott was joking, I believe oak is just one of the many technologies produced by the Sun Company every year.

, and President Scott, it is impossible for you to invest in the development of all the technologies produced by the company. You should be very clear that this is a thing where the input exceeds the output, and it is even a very stupid thing."

Scott's expression changed slightly. Although he did not nod, he naturally knew that what Taylor said could not be more correct.

If any technology, or even ideas, must be developed, then rich people like them will be impoverished, penniless, and only use their wealth to contribute to the world.

Of course, he naturally admits that a correct technology, idea, or idea can bring a lot of wealth, but only if it is correct.

This is why angel investors are called angels. They kindly return the wealth they have accumulated through hard work to the world.

People are envious of angel investors, who can get tens or hundreds of times of huge returns with very little investment.

But they don’t know that the vast majority of angel investors end up losing money!

There are very few angel investors who can make money.

Because most technologies, ideas, and ideas do not have the possibility of making money.

It can even be said that technology, ideas, and ideas are often available, but capital is not always available.

This is also the reason why Oak has been put on hold for more than a year. In other words, Oak has not appeared in front of him at all, and was called back by the technical vice president and even the technical director under him.

Thinking of this, Scott even wanted to say thank you to Taylor. If it hadn't been for the fact that the other party wanted to buy Oak, which attracted the company's attention and made Oak come to him, he probably didn't know how long it would take for him to discover Oak's existence.

Years later? Two years later? Even longer.

After carefully studying oak, he found that it is indeed an excellent product. Oak is not only a programming language, it is also a perfect development platform with the ability to be easily adapted and dynamically updated, that is to say, the syntax

It is relatively simple, and developers who have learned computer programming can get started quickly.

Seeing that Scott didn't fight back, Taylor couldn't help but feel a little better, and even became more confident.

He grinned, revealing eight white teeth, and said in a relaxed manner: "Actually, if our company wants to acquire Oak, it doesn't necessarily mean that we need to develop Oak. It is more of a technical reserve."

Speaking of this, Taylor said with some embarrassment: "There is no way, our company is a Chinese company after all, and the technology is relatively backward, so we can only acquire whatever technology we see."

However, before Scott could speak, Taylor continued: "But don't worry, although our company only intends to use Oak as a technical reserve, we will never discount the price. The fixed price is three hundred thousand US dollars. What do you think?

?I believe this price should be a very satisfactory price for Sun Company’s development costs.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Taylor picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip, then leaned back on the sofa and looked at Scott confidently, obviously very confident in the price he offered.

Even Scott himself had an illusion. If he didn't agree immediately, he would be a greedy Grandet, or a fool who would end up asking for trouble in fairy tale books.

But in fact, Taylor was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, but he had no choice but to negotiate the price with Scott directly. He was afraid of having to talk to Scott, an old fox, about whether Oak was important to the company.

The topic must be revealed.

And this topic is too unfavorable for him. After all, the actual owner of Oak is still Scott. If Scott refuses to agree to him, he will have great abilities and there will be nothing he can do.

"Three hundred thousand dollars?" Scott chuckled and looked at Taylor with a playful expression.

"I believe this should be a very reasonable price." Taylor looked unshakable.

Although the price of three hundred thousand US dollars is far from the one million US dollars that Fang Chen authorized him, based on his understanding of the acquisition prices of various American technologies, patents, and scientific research results in the past six months, according to Oak,

Three hundred thousand dollars can definitely be said to be a mid-to-lower price, not too low.

Acquiring research institutes and various technologies for Qingtian, the research results have become his professional skills, and he is quite confident in pricing in this area.

Furthermore, Sun Company has not made any investment in oak at all. Oak is just an accessory generated from the green home appliance project. How much does it cost?

If it were any other normal company, he could offer up to 300,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, and the other party would just have fun secretly.

As for why we chose such a mid-to-low price, it's just a strategy.

Based on his testing of the words of his big boss these past few days, he naturally knew that for Fang Chen, as long as he could acquire Oak, let alone one million US dollars, it would be three million or five million US dollars.

But he was afraid that if he raised the price too high all of a sudden, it would arouse Scott's alertness, and it would be terrible if he really made up his mind not to sell it to him.

He had no choice but to offer a price that was so painstaking and frightening.

After pondering for a moment, Scott said with a smile: "This price is a bit low."

Taylor couldn't help but frown, and his face instantly drooped, as if covered with a layer of frost.

After a long time, Taylor said in a deep voice: "Mr. President Scott, you have to know that Oak is just a programming language, and it can only be regarded as an excellent programming language. If our company does not want a programming language that belongs to our company,

, I will not sit here at all, and I can even tell you bluntly that apart from me, there will never be a second company to discuss the acquisition of Oak."

Hearing this, Scott did not speak directly, but gave Taylor a meaningful look.

At this glance, Taylor's heart couldn't help but tremble. He felt like he had been seen through by Scott.

But as the saying goes, the bullet has been discharged, he has no way to turn back, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and continue talking.

But now that the hard stuff is over, it’s time for the soft stuff.

Moreover, he felt that since Scott was willing to come forward to talk to him today and the talks have not collapsed so far, it meant that in essence, Scott was still willing to sell oak.

Taylor's tone suddenly became much softer, "Mr. Scott, I believe you won't invest in Oak. If you don't sell it to me, it will only be used as a backup technical force. Why bother, if

If you are not satisfied with the price, we can still discuss it. I can apply and add another ten or twenty thousand dollars to you. It's not impossible."

"Actually, it's quite good for us to keep Oak as a backup technology in the hands of Sun Company. After all, as a server company, we also have the need to write our own operating programs and application software." Scott said calmly.

After hearing this, Taylor was not discouraged and continued to teach Scott that oak was not important and that the price of $3.12 million was already a good price.

And no matter what Scott said, he said that $312,000 was already the highest price.

But the damn thing was that Scott was unmoved and threatened Taylor at every turn, leaving Oak to their company to develop on its own.

The two of them were like two bulls who refused to give in to each other, and their eyes were already red with fear.

After a long time, seeing that Scott still looked indifferent, Taylor loosened his tie angrily, and then said unceremoniously: "Mr. Scott, three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, this is mine.

Bottom line, if you agree, I will sign a contract with you now. If you don't agree, then I have no choice but to say sorry, and oak can only be developed by your company."

After speaking, Taylor suddenly stood up and looked at Scott expressionlessly, as if he was going to leave immediately if Scott didn't agree.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Then I'm afraid I still can't agree to it."

Scott couldn't help but laugh, which made Taylor feel uncomfortable all over and even made his scalp numb.

"Then I have to say sorry, Mr. Scott, for disturbing you."

After saying this, Taylor walked straight out the door without looking back.

Well, that's right, unless Scott agrees to sign the contract now, Taylor will definitely leave this time.

That's not to say that he plans to break the rules, give up on himself, and give up oak skills completely.

This is just a strategy of his.

He can be considered a figure who has been involved in the business world for nearly 20 years, and has always done well. He can even be said to be the youngest and most outstanding middle-level cadre in the company.

Being able to go to the Soviet Union to open a bank on behalf of Anheuser-Busch is a good proof.

And if there are no problems with Anheuser-Busch Moscow, he should go to Anheuser-Busch InBev, a subsidiary of the parent company, as a vice president or assistant to the president this year or next year.

His past experience told him that when it comes to today's situation, it is no longer possible to talk about it. Even if he is willing to pay a higher price, the other party will not sell the oak to him.

In other words, if you continue to talk, it will only arouse the other party's attention to oak, or even alert you, which will greatly increase the difficulty for you.

And as soon as he left, retreating to advance, he took the initiative back into his own hands.

Generally speaking, after he leaves, the other party will calm down, carefully weigh the pros and cons, and may even regret it, and call him on the third or fourth day, humbly asking him to come over and talk again. After all, if he adds another $50,000,
To be continued...
