Chapter 115: A Face Worth One Million
The next day, neither Luo Qinghan nor Lin Yi went to school.
Lin Yi looked much better than yesterday. Last night, Luo Qinghan just hugged him for a while and went back to his room to sleep.
The person driving was Lin Yi. Luo Qinghan was sitting in the passenger seat looking at the documents prepared by Lin Yi. After learning the cause and effect of the matter, he frowned slightly and spoke with some concern.
"This is actually risky, and it's not small. Why didn't you tell me in advance when you registered this trademark and planned to do this?"
"I registered for this in the first half of the year, but I didn't know you very well at that time."
Lin Yi had done this a long time ago. Originally, he wanted to make some money for free and then just sit back and do nothing. He just didn't expect that it would come in handy now.
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything after hearing this: "Then how much are you going to ask for later?"
"It depends on how much the other party asks, and then I'll raise the price a little more."
"Don't go too far. The other party is very powerful. Even if he is a foreign company, if you keep fighting him, you will most likely suffer the loss."
Luo Qinghan now had a calm expression and a flat tone, and she had returned to her usual working state.
"I know, I have sense."
The meeting place was set in a conference room of a high-end hotel.
The other party did not come in person, but that was understandable. The CEO of a huge global company did not need to come in person for such a matter.
As soon as he got off the car and entered the hotel, Lin Yi saw two people waiting for them.
One of them, a tall man with brown hair, blue eyes and wearing a suit, is the person in charge of Tesla's entry into Xia Country.
The other person was responsible for holding the briefcase and standing behind the foreigner. He should be an assistant and translator.
"Hello, I'm Jason, the chairman's secretary. Nice to meet you."
When Jason saw Lin Yi and Luo Qinghan, he walked over quickly to greet them and extended his hand to shake hands with Lin Yi.
At the same time, he also glanced at Luo Qinghan and felt that he looked familiar, but he did not recognize him. Instead, he nodded to show respect.
Lin Yi felt a little surprised: this foreigner was quite knowledgeable about the customs of meeting people here, but his Chinese was a little hard to describe.
After a few polite words, the group entered the conference room.
Luo Qinghan, like Jason's assistant, followed Lin Yi without saying a word.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so young. He is really young and promising."
"Secretary General Jason, let's get straight to the point and stop wasting time."
Lin Yi sat opposite Jason and signaled that there was no need to talk any more nonsense.
After the other party nodded, he asked his assistant to take out the documents from the briefcase and began to state the conditions in English with a slight accent.
The assistant was translating for Lin Yi, and a lot of it was nonsense, just acquiring one trademark at a time.
It was not until the end that Lin Yi heard the price he wanted to know most.
The other party is willing to spend three million US dollars, equivalent to 20 million Xia coins, to purchase it.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
"Let me take a look at the contract first."
Lin Yi did not give an immediate reply, but picked up the contract document and gave the English version to Luo Qinghan.
"Is there anything wrong with this contract?"
Lin Yi asked Luo Qinghan in a low voice. He could only understand the Chinese version. After reading it once, he did not find any traps, but he was afraid that there were traps in the English version.
"No problem. It's the same as the Chinese version you have."
Luo Qinghan put down the contract and whispered in Lin Yi's ear, "Have you decided? The price he offered is indeed not low."
"No, the trademark is not worth that much."
"Then you decide, I'll translate for you." "Okay."
Lin Yi put the two contracts together and put them back on the table: "Secretary General, you are a global giant enterprise, and this trademark is a symbol of your company."
Jason listened to Lin Yi's words without changing his expression and still kept smiling.
This was within his expectations. He had looked up Lin Yi's information before the meeting and thought he was just a smart college student.
But he didn't expect that the other party's parents were of noble status, so he didn't dare to underestimate Lin Yi, so he deliberately lowered his posture when they met.
Lin Yi paused for a moment and looked at Jason, who was smiling: "Don't you think that giving this price is somewhat devaluing the value of this trademark?"
Jason smiled faintly: "Then how much do you think this trademark is worth, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Yi raised his index finger: "This number."
Luo Qinghan looked at Lin Yi's actions, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little surprised: Didn't we agree not to ask for too much and to have some sense of propriety?
How come it has more than tripled?
However, Luo Qinghan still helped Lin Yi translate and did not interrupt.
Jason definitely cannot accept this price. Even if he agrees, the headquarters will not agree.
After some price adjustments, Lin Yi finally insisted on $6 million and would not give in. This was his bottom line, and he needed $40 million.
Otherwise he would rather remain in a stalemate.
But this was still beyond Jason's acceptable limit. The most he could accept was five million dollars.
"I need to report this to the chairman. Please wait a moment, Mr. Lin."
Jason left the meeting room, and his assistant stayed behind.
At this time, Luo Qinghan couldn't help but said to Lin Yi: "Your price is too high, isn't it? This thing is worthless in your hands."
"I need 40 million, no less, and the other party is here to grab the market. Behind them are competitors. Other companies will follow suit and come in. The competition will become more and more fierce."
Lin Yi knew that time was running out. Even if he had complete design drawings and even built a prototype car, he would still need to find a partner for mass production.
Ultimately, the trump card is too small.
He needs to start selling cars before other competitors exit the market, otherwise he will be eliminated in the fierce competition and all his previous efforts will be wasted.
So we need this money.
"That's fine."
The money Luo Qinghan had was more than enough for living, but giving it to Lin Yi seemed like a drop in the bucket.
More than half an hour later, Jason returned to the conference room: "Then let's go with the six million you need, Mr. Lin."
Lin Yi and Luo Qinghan were both surprised. They didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly.
"Okay, let's sign the contract then."
Lin Yi came back to his senses immediately, a look of delight appeared on his face.
Jason's face showed confusion and bewilderment. He looked at Luo Qinghan from time to time. He didn't understand why the chairman agreed to this price.
After all the formalities were completed, both parties put away their respective contracts and prepared to leave.
While shaking hands with Lin Yi, Jason glanced at Luo Qinghan and asked, "Is this beautiful lady Mr. Lin's wife?"
"Yes."
"I don't know what your name is, Madam?"
Jason looked at Luo Qinghan and asked in a low voice.
"Luo Qinghan."
Jason nodded slightly, thinking to himself: This woman's face is worth one million dollars?
