Han Chudong was very surprised when he heard the news. He had not heard any rumors at all, and the other party wanted to acquire Mason Battery without saying a word.

Mochizuki nodded. "It should be that company. They told me this on the phone. They asked you to call them back after you have made up your mind. They said that if you are satisfied with their offer, they will meet to discuss it in detail."

"Oh, did you say how much?"

"…I forgot to ask, but I wrote down the number."

"It's okay, I'll contact him later. You have a good vision. You've set your sights on my company before it officially goes into production." Han Chudong was complacent.

After attending the Chicago Toy Fair last year, people from Fisher-Price Toy Company also talked about buying Mango Toys as a whole, but he did not agree.

Looking back now, it was a good decision not to sell it.

In the long run, the money that can be earned is far more than five or six million US dollars. The market has not been fully expanded yet, and the money earned has already exceeded the bid at that time, not to mention the current value of Mango Toys itself.

The idea of ​​an acquisition doesn't come out of nowhere.

Han Chudong thought of Simon Lavrov, a Jew who had chatted with him on Christmas Eve last year. He worked at Bank of America and said he knew a shareholder of Duracell.

The other party suddenly came to discuss acquisition, probably because they learned from the Jewish manager that Mason Battery had developed a new product. Otherwise, how could they extend an olive branch when the product was not yet on the market?

These industry giants like to use money to exchange for technology and markets to maintain the competitiveness of their products. For small companies, it is a win-win situation most of the time.

Don't mind talking to each other.

Han Chudong had a smile on his face, thinking about what price would be best, five million dollars? Seven million dollars?

If he could make so much money from a patent, he probably wouldn't suffer any loss. After all, the money was in his hands and he could use it to invest in other businesses to make money.

Once you have a few million extra dollars, you can start doing a lot of things you want to do.

For example, by advertising crazily and promoting Rainbow Beauty products on a large scale in a short period of time, the profit margin of facial masks is definitely much higher than that of dry batteries, and it is also easier to build sales channels.

After coming out of the meeting room, Han Chudong went to make coffee first.

Mochizuki Kiko followed him and saw that the young boss was not in a hurry, so she asked, "Um... don't you want to make a phone call first?"

“Don’t be impatient. If you act too impatient, they will take the initiative and guess what I’m thinking.

It would be better to call them in the afternoon and directly deny their offer to gain an advantage. The battery we developed has better performance, and they should be the ones who are anxious. "

Han Chudong poured the coffee beans into the machine, ground them, and put them under his nose to smell them.

Deeply roasted Mandheling coffee beans, with a fragrant aroma, are poured into the filter paper. Start the coffee machine and wait for the hot water to slowly flow out after passing through the coffee powder.

The lounge faces the Los Angeles Times Building, with vehicles constantly flowing below. When they saw some employees smoking while working, they suggested setting up a smoking room with glass to avoid poisoning those non-smoking employees.

Mochizuki Xizi felt that Han Chudong's words made sense, so she was not in a hurry to urge him to call back. When she learned that a special smoking area was to be built, she fully agreed with the idea...

Currently, there are dedicated employees in charge of the delivery and production links, so Han Chudong does not need to oversee them personally.

There were a lot of matters related to finance and contract documents waiting for him to deal with personally, so he went back to the office and continued to get busy.

Review various documents and then sign them. If you find there is a problem or don’t understand, call the person in charge to ask for details. During this process, you can learn a lot about the company's operations.

Take the case of reviewing pirated and infringing toys for example. An executive suggested that he find some down-and-out lawyers to help with the investigation. Not only should they check the source of the goods, but they should also hold accountable those store owners who still don't change after being reminded. No matter how much money they get afterwards, most of it will belong to those lawyers.

This approach will not take up human resources and will not require too much time or money.

In the United States, almost everyone knows that lawyers make a lot of money. There are many lawyers who earn millions or tens of millions of dollars a year, especially those elite ones who have become partners in well-known law firms.

But there is also a group of lawyers who are either self-taught or incompetent and have difficulty even supporting their families. As long as there is money to be made, it is quite easy to hire them to help.

Han Chudong agreed to this suggestion, thinking it was a good one, and asked a legal advisor to help deal with it, so as to avoid the infringing toys spreading in the US market due to indifference.

besides.

A four-year-old child in Mississippi suffered damage to his cornea after a push-type propeller toy poked his eye.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

His mother filed a lawsuit at the end of last year, demanding $390,000 in compensation, including medical expenses, mental compensation, and lost work time due to child care.

The subpoena has just been delivered to the company. According to the text printed on the toy packaging, the age limit for this toy is seven years old, while the age limit for the Magic Ball and Beyblade is ten years old. It is clearly printed on the packaging.

According to the lawyer, the possibility of winning the lawsuit is relatively high, and it mainly depends on the ability of the lawyer hired by the other party.

If it was really due to a design flaw, it would be fine. However, knowing the severity of punitive damages, Han Chudong didn't even dare to use a sharp corner design, and the packaging was also very formal.

A legal team of up to six people was assigned to help review each deficiency.

Since you think that you are not the one who caused the child's injury, why should you pay compensation? If your mouth is stabbed by a fork while eating, do you have to ask the company that manufactured the fork for compensation?

When it comes to fraud, the United States is really the best.

Some people are bent on finding faults in large companies and using punitive damages provisions to make a profit. Once they succeed in making a fortune, they often don't have to worry about money for many years.

Although it can play a positive role in restraining enterprises, its negative impact is also quite large.

In the past, Han Chudong could just watch the fun, but when the trouble fell on him, he realized how difficult it was. He meant to hire a senior lawyer locally to settle the whole thing as soon as possible.

Litigation is as common to American businessmen as eating and sleeping. The bigger the company, the more troubles it has. This is one of the main reasons why the legal profession is so popular.

He did not rush to call Duracell Battery Company back, nor did he ask Atari founder Nolan Bushnell what he thought. He just put it off for the time being to avoid suffering losses by having the other party see through his thoughts.

With so few chips in hand, it is necessary to calculate carefully.

Han Chudong first found Mr. Thomas's business card. The other party had an animation company in Burbank. He was going to ask if there was a chance to cooperate and jointly create an animated film...
