Chapter 153: The Olive Branch from Matsushita



But when he was in school, he liked to listen to a good song over and over again, playing it on repeat. When he got tired of it, he would look for a new song.

Over time, I memorized the lyrics and melodies of many popular songs.

As for the melody, I can already sing it, so why worry about not being able to play the tune?

While Han Chudong was humming a song by the lake, Zoe had already had an inspiration and followed along with the guitar, learning very seriously.

He felt like a peerless master in martial arts novels, who would pass on his unique skills to a talented person when he met one. He was overjoyed when he thought of this.

Although he can't play the guitar or the piano, Han Chudong's musical "attainment" is indeed high. There is no doubt that all the songs he can remember are good songs.

I just don't know if Zoe can seize the opportunity and learn from that young martial arts genius to successfully make a name for herself by relying on the chance.

The little girl was quite smart. She wrote down the lyrics and kept them carefully. Now she can sing them on the guitar.

The song I gave her as a stepping stone is called "The Day You Went Away", a very nice song, and it can be seen that Zoe likes it very much.

Seeing the little girl playing and singing so passionately, he suddenly felt that being able to sing was very cool.

Han Chudong even wants to become a singer and package himself as a superstar. With the music library in his head, he might be able to become the Bruce Lee of the music industry in the short term.

This thought went around in his head, but was quickly suppressed by reason. Business was more important.

When you earn enough money to last you several lifetimes, you can start any side job you want. Now is not the right time.

After Zoe finished singing, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Your voice sounds even better when you sing. Keep working on becoming a big star who can hold concerts. Remember to send me some free tickets when the time comes. Take my business card and call me if you have any other questions. Oh, and I'll give you another two hundred. When your mom comes back, ask her to take you to a music company for an audition. If you keep up your level, someone will definitely be willing to sign you."

It was just a simple thing, but Zoe was deeply moved.

Now he finally stopped thinking of Han Chudong as a bad person and told her honestly, "My mother was deported back to Costa Rica last month. Before she left, she told me that she would find a way to come back to find me."

"...have a place to live? Were you born in the United States?"

"Yes, I have been in Los Angeles. They didn't take me away, but they sent me to an orphanage."

Hearing this, Han Chudong sighed and patted her shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself. I believe your mother will come back. If you need anything, I will ask my company's lawyer to help ask."

I will help if I can, but I dare not bring people home.

In the end I was given an extra hundred dollars, and if I save some money I can get through a month or two without any problems, and I have done it very well.

After saying goodbye, Han Chudong returned to the company, while Zoe continued to sit in the park for a while. After putting the money away, she went to a roadside food truck to buy a hot dog. After eating, she was ready to go to the music company alone to try her luck.

Finally I realized that I had done something stupid.

On the way to the company, Han Chudong thought about why he didn't write songs and scripts and then sell them when he was short of money when he first started his business?

I only make a few dollars by playing illegal lottery. I got so angry that I laughed when I thought about it.

There is no need to exchange them for money now. They are all intangible virtual assets. When you have money and resources, you can keep them to start a film company and release records, and you can make more money. If you sell them to others, the price will not be too high, and you will definitely suffer a loss.

Looking at it this way, your net worth can go up again, and you can continue to devote yourself to making money with satisfaction.

Trying to be independent from other companies, hiring marketing and promotion talents, and forming a team dedicated to serving its own company, responsible for market research, advertising, product positioning and other aspects.

Similarly, the legal department and the accounting department can also be separated. He plans to make good use of resources and avoid setting up similar departments in multiple companies, thereby saving human resource costs.

The company was established not long ago, so it is easier to make adjustments. If you don’t consider the long-term now, it will be troublesome in the future.

Mr. Clifton Nett's consulting company also specializes in providing optimization services for corporate organizational structures. Han Chudong admits that he is not good at this area, so he is willing to spend money to buy ease and ask others to help make the management more efficient and streamlined.

As for Mason Battery and Rainbow Beauty, they don’t have many employees in total, and now they are more like empty shells.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The people from Panasonic Battery came to our door in early February.

A small negotiation team, a total of four people, suddenly visited on February 6, saying that they wanted to purchase the alkaline dry battery patent technology at a high price, and even wanted to buy the two production lines that were being commissioned to the automated production line giant Rockwell.

After hearing the news, Han Chudong immediately felt that this Japanese company had done sufficient preparation, otherwise how could they even know which company to entrust to customize the production line.

He was humiliated by the offer from Duracell last time. The company was only willing to offer over one million US dollars. After he refused, they never came back for talks again.

This time, the company that wanted to acquire the patented technology was Panasonic. Han Chudong didn't have much expectation, so he called Mr. John Sanderson, the temporary head of Mason Battery, to meet with the other party in his office.

There was a white person in the small group, and the remaining three were Japanese. Their ages seemed to range widely, from those in their twenties to those in their forties or fifties.

The leader was named Ishikawa Hayabusa. His hair had turned slightly gray and he spoke English with a heavy accent.

After introducing each other and exchanging pleasantries, Ishikawa Hayabusa once again personally explained his purpose to Han Chudong and said, "We have learned that your company has developed a high-performance dry battery that can effectively reduce idle power consumption, increase the number of small current intermittent discharges, and has a higher capacity. I wonder if this is true? I am here with the commission of Mr. Kenta Hirano, President of Panasonic's battery business, to inquire about the details. If it is really that advanced, we are willing to purchase it at a high price that will satisfy you. Sorry for disturbing you!"

Putting aside other things, their attitude was much more sincere than that of the people at Duracell at that time.

However, Duracell is one of the giants in the current dry battery industry. With its market share and technology, it has the confidence to underestimate Mason Battery, a startup.

Panasonic has a wide range of businesses, and is best known for its home appliance manufacturing business. Its batteries can also be seen on the market, but its international market share is not as high as Duracell's, and its sales are mainly in Japan.

Han Chudong wanted to cash in some money, but was reluctant to give up the long-term benefits that the patented technology could bring. He took a sip of red tea and replied, "I have compared all the products on the market, including your Panasonic No. 5 battery. I am not bragging, but my technology is more powerful and exceeds the performance of Duracell's dry cell.

Last time, the people from Duracell came to me to discuss acquisition, saying that they wanted to use 8 million US dollars to buy my entire set of production technology patents. How could I agree to such a small amount of money, right? When my company's sales channels are built and we seize the market of Duracell and other companies, the profit in one year can reach this figure. How could I agree to sell it at a low price? The initial 5 million promotion funds have been prepared, and they will be used for advertising. When my product is launched, it will be promoted on TV immediately..."
