Victory in Life
Chapter 657
"I'll be frank with you. I'm planning to purchase a letter of authorization from you that allows me to upgrade the MP3 player, President Golding," Jasper said.
Surprised, the smile on Damon's face turned cold as he said, "Master Laine, do you think you have more advanced techniques than I have and that the MP3 player can be further upgraded?"
"Yes." Yeah." Jasper did not notice the angry expression on Damon's face as he replied confidently.
Damond sneered as he said, "Master Laine, I think our conversation has been a waste of time. I will never allow anyone to exploit my patent. I don't need an outsider to come here and say they want to improve my invention!"
"President Golding, you may be a technician, but you are also a businessman. Why don't you take advantage of this situation to earn more money if you think the MP3 player has no room for further improvements?" ask Jasper.
Damond laughed and said, "You are a great negotiator, but I will not be deceived by your deception. Goodbye, Mr. Laine!"
Then Damon got up and left.
"President Golding, it's very rude to get up and leave when others haven't finished talking. I think the people from Coreana are very particular about manners?" ask Jasper.
"I'll just take a few minutes of your time, President Golding, After all, I have a lot of things to deal with as well. For example, I had a meeting with the president of Sentel Corporation, Emerson Lang, this afternoon."
When he heard Jasper's words, Damond finally realized that this young man from Somerland was completely different from Conrad Monty, whom he had met before. This man was like a cunning fox and was much harder to deal with.
"You mean what?" damon asked expressionlessly.
"Actually, Sentel Corporation does not care about the invention of your MP3 player, Mr. Damon. So, although the MP3 player is slowly gaining attention, Sentel Corporation cannot do anything with half of the patents it has because you are currently working at Sunrea Company, President of Golding."
"I believe no one is happy with this, right? What about multinational groups like Sentel Corporation? You must have a front row seat in witnessing how arrogant they are, President Golding."
"I'm a businessman from Somerland, not an employee at Sentel Corporation. I'm not entitled to threaten you, President Golding, but I want you to understand what would happen if I obtained 50% patents and improved the technology on existing MP3 players."
"When that happens, your MP3 player will be blocked by my patent. You have to pay a large sum of money to get through the barrier or turn around and buy the right to use from me. President Golding, this isn't a good deal, is it?"
Damond glanced at Jasper grimly as he said, Are all Somerland businessmen as despicable as you?"
"No, I'm not despicable. I just hope we can build a solid foundation for our cooperation, President Golding," Jasper said with a smile.
"How are you so sure that you will be able to upgrade your MP3 player and receive market approval?" damon asked expressionlessly.
"That's my business, President Golding. You just have to think about what price you will give this power of attorney to me and then receive the check. Then everyone will be happy" Jasper said calmly.
"One billion US dollars." Damond quoted the price after thinking for a moment.
Jasper laughed in disbelief.
"President Golding, are you kidding me?"
"I'll pay you right away if this is the patent price. However, did you charge 1 billion US dollars for only half of the authorization letter to upgrade the technology?"
Damond laughed coldly as he said, "That's the condition. It's up to you whether you'll accept it or not, Mr. Laine." "How about we bet?"
