Chapter 9, Catching a Fish
Inquire about which organization he belongs to
The two lawyers have prepared the relevant transaction documents for the patent, followed by some registration documents that need to be filled out by Bai Hao
At this moment, there are still people inquiring at the Baiyun Hotel
First, he went to a bank to handle the exchange of a check. After obtaining a thick stack of US dollars, Bai Hao went to the Friendship Store again
Some of her team members also thought of this and quickly sought ways to inquire about it
Bai Hao hung up the phone, leaned back in the lounge chair on the balcony, and lit a Soft Zhonghua cigarette worth twenty dollars, which was not sold in the market but only available at foreign hotels and friendship stores. Bai Hao gazed at the night view, contemplating whether his plan with Jeff Haas could succeed
However, it is certain that a highly valuable product has been obtained
Bai Sha's tone was not fast, and his voice was not loud, yet every sentence carried an air of authority
Ge Mingcheng, the deputy director of the Qinzhou Foreign Trade Bureau, was drenched in sweat, and he could not comprehend where such a person had suddenly emerged from
The issue is that both Fry's and Best Buy are retail chains for home appliances; what products from Xiaguo could possibly be of interest to companies like theirs
While Bai Hao was contemplating life, in a reception room of a guesthouse not far from the Baiyun Hotel, the woman Bai Rao, whom Bai Hao had encountered in the afternoon, was fuming with anger.
Twenty cents, which means that for each unit sold, both he and Jeff earn ten cents each
Upon receiving another piece of news, he firmly believed that Best Buy had obtained products of great value and significant competitive advantage
Room number 3302, a luxury suite on the top floor. The total signed charges amount to three hundred ninety-six dollars, followed by the itemized bill.
Before I even entered the door, I was stopped by someone: "Identification."
A toaster with a very peculiar appearance, which seems to have other functions
Based on the information he gathered, John constructed a complete story in his mind. Best Buy sent Jeff Haas, who was merely a figurehead, while another individual was a highly paid hire from Xia Country. This person from Xia Country had traveled extensively throughout many regions of Xia, which explained his tattered clothing; he must have endured significant hardships.
In terms of experience in the martial world, John is indeed an old hand.
A night has passed
Of course, having already received five thousand dollars, this sum is not insignificant
Indeed, it is necessary to inquire thoroughly and then report back to the company. Did I not come to Xia Country with Jeff Haas precisely for this purpose
Upon hearing Bai Hao speak, the staff assumed he was an overseas Chinese and quickly moved aside. After entering, Bai Hao took out a stack of US dollars, pulled out two bills, and placed them on the counter. He then laid down a beautifully written list in Mandarin and asked, "Do you have this?"
As for Jeff, in order to establish a long-term partnership, he is unwilling to engage in a one-time transaction only
Seeing Ge Mingcheng nod, Bai Qian then picked up the preliminary information about Bai Hao that had just arrived. It clearly stated that Bai Hao was from Qinzhou, Jingzhao City, with an unspecified age and an unspecified organization. He had already checked into the Baiyun Hotel, using the identity of a special assistant in the procurement department of Best Buy in the United States.
Of course, how about twenty cents
Bai Hao secretly cursed, power-hungry.
There is indeed a conspiracy
It is a reasonable charge; we are responsible for collecting this fee. For the orders you are responsible for, we will charge a service and management fee of 5%. In the event of any infringement, we will charge the corresponding legal fees based on the circumstances.
Jeff looked at Bai Hao, and Bai Hao nodded.
Upon inquiring about Bai Hao's room number at the front desk, it was immediately stated: "Your colleague left a message. If you return before 1:00 PM, please go to the Western Restaurant in the East Building, as he has arranged to meet the lawyer there."
Bai Hao walked straight towards the western restaurant
It will be delivered to your room shortly
At the current exchange rate, the US dollar is approximately one to two against the summer currency, which means I can consider myself a ten-thousandaire
Jeff told Bai Hao: "Bai, they suggested that we set the patent fee for this product a bit lower, after all, the patent for the toaster has already expired, and this is merely a new variation. Charging too much might lead to unforeseen troubles."
The next morning, Bai Hao left the house early and even booked a car from the Baiyun Hotel
Ge Mingcheng nodded repeatedly: "Alright, alright, I will call back immediately to ask."
As for his adoptive father Zhang Jianguo advising him to spend money sparingly, Bai Hao had already let it go in one ear and out the other; money is like a turtle, once spent, it can be earned back again
Jeff asked the two lawyers, "Well, what do you think"
"Alright," Bai Hao replied, pointing to the items he had brought back. "Please help me take them to my room"
There must be a reason for this
You in Qinzhou are remarkable, having produced significant figures. There is a lack of organization and discipline, with contacts with foreign guests made without prior approval and no reporting afterwards. What does he intend to do
Because a lawyer from the corrupt country of Hong Kong will arrive here tomorrow
As Jeff Haas speculated, Follis sent someone to follow him to Xiaguo, in order to guard against any potential conspiracy from Best Buy targeting Follis
John McClane
There is, there are
What matters warrant hiring a lawyer
It is undoubtedly a very large project
At this moment, a middle-aged man with brown hair walked out from the side and stood at the front desk, gazing at Bai Hao's box
Having completed all of this, the entire morning was consumed
After a round of procurement, Bai Hao went to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, where he successfully found several students under the pressure of the US dollar. He had them create a few drawings according to his specifications, and then he made a new cardboard box, which was also adorned with the designs that Bai Hao wanted.
If borrowing the pressure from Best Buy on the other company, Falaishi, can truly enable Best Buy's orders to reach 10,000 units, I wonder if it could turn my adoptive father's factory around and allow him to become the agent factory director
That is not correct. Bai Ruo realized why Best Buy would appoint a person from Xia Country as a special assistant in the procurement department
Bai Hao pointed at the person next to him and directly asked in fluent Mandarin, "Why are those big-nosed people allowed to enter freely while I have to show my identification?"
Jeff will inquire about his matters through tips, and he will do so as well
Bai Hao was well aware that without Jeff, he would not receive any patent fees on his own, let alone the fact that Jeff had already paid five thousand yuan to share this patent
This man is John McClane, and he is looking intently and quickly at the contents of the box. Next to him is a manual illustrated on the box, featuring a custom Best Buy logo on the front, with a prominent octagonal star in the upper right corner marked with a number, one hundred thirty-five dollars
The clothes are not expensive, but Bai Haoguang bought ten pairs and two boxes of imported cigars
Bai Hao returned to the Baiyun Hotel, carrying a drawing board in one hand, along with a finished paper box and a bag of various purchased items placed at the hotel front desk. He spoke in elegant Mandarin throughout, saying: "Please deliver this to my room, I am going to the restaurant. I am hungry"
John McClane quickly jotted down the promotional text and then stepped aside to take notes before swiftly jogging to his room
On the other side, inside the Western restaurant
