Han Chudong expected that this would be the net profit within five to seven years if he relied on developing the market on his own and waited for Mason Battery Company's dry cell battery products to be launched on the market.

When a new product is launched, it does not necessarily mean that it will be successful if it has good quality. There are many uncertainties involved.

He cannot come up with the huge amount of money needed for advertising for the time being, and the price of his product may be higher than that of Duracell batteries, after all, various marketing costs are involved.

Products such as Duracell have a stable customer base and have already accumulated market and reputation. They no longer need to spend too much money on advertising, and the cost per dry cell battery will naturally decrease.

besides.

Han Chudong was not sure whether the old-line dry cell battery manufacturers, including Duracell, had any reserve technology.

If you don't apply for a patent, there is no need to make it public.

If, after the product is launched on the market, another new product with comparable capacity appears on the market, it is easy to be caught off guard and market expectations will be lowered accordingly.

When you put money into your pocket, it truly becomes your own money.

If Panasonic is really willing to pay so much money to acquire patented technology, Han Chudong will most likely not refuse. After accumulating for more than four months, he currently has only more than 2 million US dollars in cash. If he can have more than 10 million US dollars in cash, many troubles can be solved.

For example, promoting new facial mask products, accelerating the expansion of Baofeng Electric, carrying out research on walkie-talkies, personal computers and lithium batteries, and investing in the semiconductor industry, all of which seem to have better long-term prospects than selling dry batteries.

Of course, if Mason Battery Company really operates in the dry battery market for a few years, it might itself be worth some money.

The price he offered was not too high, but it was a little high just for a few patents themselves.

It wasn't that Ishikawa Hayabusa paid for the patent himself. He was only responsible for acting as a messenger. So after hearing the number, he didn't say much. He just asked for a copy of the patent application and a copy of the product performance, and then left Han Chudong's office.

…

"You also have Japanese blood. Did you hear what the old man said at the end? Do you think he will agree to my offer?"

After those Panasonic Battery employees left, Han Chudong became anxious and worried, with his mind full of thoughts about such a large sum of money.

Assistant Nozomi Mochizuki was helping to clean up the cups and ashtrays. When she heard him ask her, she thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. There should be a chance. He said he would give you a reply after considering it. This means that even if it is... 15 million US dollars, it is within the acceptable range. Panasonic is very financially strong and is currently one of the most famous Japanese companies."

"I know this. If you want to buy it, you can definitely come up with the money."

Han Chudong caught a glimpse of Mochizuki Kyoko's side profile. She was bending over and half squatting to pack her things. The formal dress was not loose and it outlined her figure.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances and continued sadly, "I'm nervous because I know they might buy it. If it's a small company that can't afford so much money, then why would I worry? There will be no result anyway."

Kyoko Mochizuki didn't say much. She knew exactly how capable she was and was afraid of delaying the boss's business and causing him to make a wrong decision. She thought it would be better not to speak carelessly at this time.

After thinking of something, Mochizuki Kiko turned around and asked, "By the way, I want to leave work an hour earlier today. A friend I knew before asked me out for dinner, so..."

Out of a man's sixth sense, Han Chudong immediately became interested and asked her curiously, "A guy? Did your mother urge you to go on a blind date?"

"…Not really. It's just that this is a junior I met at school. I helped him revise a paper, and he treated me to a meal out of gratitude. I've told him several times, and I really can't refuse anymore."

After Mochizuki Kiko finished speaking, Han Chudong rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just looking for an excuse to ask you out. It's an old trick. There's nothing new about it."

He knew his assistant's personality well. She was the type of girl who would never refuse anyone.

Knowing that the other party had invited her several times, she vaguely smelled something unusual. It seemed that he was a shameless guy who liked to pester her.

I was a little worried because pestering Kiko Mochizuki was the most effective way to deal with her. Maybe because she cared about other people's face and habitually put herself in a difficult position, she would be seduced away by someone else half-heartedly.

Mochizuki Kiko said decisively: "No, my junior has a girlfriend, and I am too old compared to him, three years older, and he is a very smart genius."

Never praise how great another man is in front of a man.

Apparently, no one had told Kiko Mochizuki this truth.

Han Chudong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm sorry, you have to go to San Francisco tonight. There's a problem in the laboratory, and I can't leave, so you have to deal with it for me. Let's go to dinner next time. Buy a plane ticket now and rush over. You will probably stay for four or five days."

She didn't think too much about it and asked curiously, "What kind of trouble?"

"This is a matter of a lot of money. We're going to start a large-scale trial of samples. Please help me keep an eye on it and collect statistics for the questionnaire survey. I don't trust others to do it."

This is a task that I thought of at the last minute. Actually, I haven't started planning an event to try out the facial mask yet. Even if there is one, there is no need to rush over there today.

Thinking that something was wrong, Mochizuki nodded and told him, "Okay, I'll call the airline to book a ticket later."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Well, ask the accountant to reimburse the expenses, and keep the hotel invoices. Whether it can be launched next month depends on the trial evaluation."

…

After Mochizuki Kyoko left, Han Chudong's mouth curled up and he revealed a smile of victory.

Thinking that the junior fellow was not yet up to the task of competing with him.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was my fault. After we got to know each other better, I didn't dare to act blatantly. I have been busy dealing with business matters recently.

It would be strange if no one cared about such a mixed-race beauty with a nice personality and single. I reflected on whether I should take the initiative next and make the relationship clear so that she would be taken.

I made a temporary call to the beauty and skincare laboratory in San Francisco and asked Ron to produce samples today so that they could be distributed for free in the next two days for trial promotion.

By the way, they chatted about some topics related to purchasing raw materials. After the conversation, Han Chudong put this little matter behind him and began to think about whether he would suffer a loss by selling the patent for 15 million US dollars.

It is certain that you will earn money, it is just a matter of how much.

The entire R&D cost was less than US$10,000, and applying for a patent doesn’t cost much either. The procurement of raw materials and parts has just begun, and we haven’t signed a contract with any company or paid a deposit yet.

There is too little data, and it is still uncertain what will happen in the future. After realizing that no specific results can be obtained, I stopped thinking about it and prepared to wait for Panasonic to give a reply.

We have no intention of placing all our hopes of raising funds on Panasonic Battery Company.

Han Chudong planned to contact Bank of America first to see how much loan he could get by using Mango Toys shares as collateral based on the bank's cash flow in the recent period.

There will be a lot of places to spend money in the next period of time, and there is a lack of time to continue accumulating wealth, and I don’t want others to take advantage of me. Although the interest rate is terribly high, I still have to give it a try.
