Chapter 10, The Big Fish
Of course, I was looking forward to it last night
Jeff told Bai Hao: "I am very happy, but also very tired. I am planning to cancel the event that was scheduled with your Summer Country officials for tomorrow. What I need most right now is to take a shower and then have a good sleep"
Bai Hao introduces: "The home waffle maker is also multifunctional. However, during the production of this machine, I faced limitations as I did not have enough electronic components to provide better control. Therefore, I could only create this simple version, but I believe it will be more convenient for housewives in the United States."
Jeff Haas, however, furrowed his brows
He went in and heard people laughing inside the room, and the voices were quite loud, as were the sounds of laughter. It was not just Bai Hao and Jeff; it seemed there were others as well
Of course, there is nothing that money cannot buy. The price is not too high; besides 5,000 yuan, I would like to ask you to help me procure some items, legally
Furthermore, there is something else in my room that is worth your investment in sharing the patent. How about we take a look after we finish our meal
John stated in the report: "You can imagine that when many people see Best Buy's advertisement on television or in newspapers, showcasing toasters at only half the original price, and the ability to fry up to eighteen different shapes of eggs while toasting, how many housewives would be attracted. When they plan to take a look, the sales of other products at Best Buy will also increase, as it is believed that housewives will conveniently purchase more products.
The two lawyers also expressed that it was very delicious
Bai Hao put on thick gloves again to change the molds in the cookie press. This time it was for bear-shaped cookies, followed by floral-patterned cookies. In fact, it was just the different shapes of the molds that resulted in various appearances of the finished products
This is terrifying for any electronics retailer that competes with Best Buy
Bai Hao looked at the business card with a slight frown; he was pretending, but inside he felt a tremendous sense of joy. He and Jeff had analyzed various possibilities, among which the least likely was that John would come to find him in person
Of course, I would be very happy to be a culinary guide. In Guangzhou, one must try the yellow eel, although you may feel a bit nervous, as not everyone can accept this dish. Stir-fried clams are also essential, and I personally enjoy goose feet, which I believe you will also like
John has already provided a detailed report to the company. It is known that the current market price of the toaster in the beautiful country is 270 dollars. If Best Buy sells it for 135 dollars, without the ability to sue Best Buy for maliciously undercutting and disrupting market rules, Best Buy can attract countless customers with this small item
After discussing the benefits, Bai Hao was ready to present his second product, which was the waffle maker. Bai Hao said to Jeff Haas:
When Bai Hao reached the entrance of the restaurant, John approached him and said: "Hello, talented young man, may I ask you how to choose the most distinctive summer cuisine from the Summer Country in the restaurant"
Then, I will choose a good bottle of wine, and I will cover the cost of the wine
Seeing Jeff Haas frown, Bai Hao remained completely unperturbed
Bai Hao walked alone towards the restaurant
After Bai Hao completed all the forms and signed all the documents, he accompanied Jeff to send the two lawyers off in a taxi back to Hong Kong
John is patient, he is waiting
Then, see you at the bar tonight
Yes, I plan to go eat something. You know, I only had a slice of sandwich for lunch
After laughing, Jeff Haas asked: "Will you also sell this patent? Or is it the same as before, where you give me half?"
No problem, I will resolve this issue
As he took a bite, Jeff Haas wore an expression of enjoyment
Jeff Haas clapped his hands gently and said, "Alright, let's prepare the contract. I trust my judgment."
"No problem, ten o'clock." After Jeff and Bai Hao agreed on the time, the two parted ways
John knows which room Bai Hao lives in
John thought for a moment and said: "According to the information I gathered, Jeff from Best Buy gave that young man from Summer Country a check for 5,000 yuan, perhaps as a bonus for this procurement"
Ah, hahaha. Jeff Haas has not heard this joke, but he understands why Bai Hao is frowning.
With the company's authorization, John believes he needs to have a conversation with Bai Hao
Jeff Haas is not a chef, yet he completed the ingredients on a list that clearly marked everything in grams, and after pouring it into the waffle iron, the waffles were baked in just a few minutes
John smiled and said, "I can tell you are a gourmet; you order, and I will take care of the bill"
It is clearly due to the current inadequacies in technology, insufficient materials, and other reasons
Half an hour later
Bai Hao's room, Bai Hao moved out the second box
Bai Hao insisted that it was this security configuration
The two entered a small private room together, Bai Hao ordered four dishes and a soup, and then requested a bottle of wine
The company directly told John: "Give him 10,000, or even 20,000, we hope to hear your good news"
Because Bai Hao knew why Jeff was frowning, he smiled and picked up a Mickey Mouse-shaped waffle, saying: "There is a legend that a person was stranded on a deserted island, and in his despair, he drew a Mickey Mouse on the beach. That very night, a lawyer came to sue him for infringement"
The two lawyers were laughing so hard that they bent over; they could fully understand Bai Hao's joke, even if it was the first time they had heard it. They were well aware that because of this Mickey Mouse-shaped waffle, a certain company would pursue a patent lawsuit against you all the way to the moon.
Indeed, you are absolutely correct. Even if Best Buy incurs losses on toasters, it can still make substantial profits on other products. Therefore, we would like to know the procurement cost of these toasters. Perhaps you could try to attract that individual from Xia country to join us at Folaishi.
It is quite complex, but Bai Hao has something to say: "During use, the temperature can reach 280 degrees. There are tens of thousands of cases each year where children are burned by ovens from beautiful countries. This is called a safety lock; without this handle, children cannot operate it. Once the lid is closed, the heat cannot escape, and it will not harm the children"
10 o'clock
Before Bai Hao's time travel, all the pancake makers were equipped with microcomputer controls, and the one in front of him had eight small knobs. Moreover, these knobs could not be turned directly by hand; they required a separate handle to operate.
After the waiter left, John handed over a business card
Bai Hao took out the jar of hawthorn apple jam that he had specifically brought with him before leaving and generously spread a thick layer on Jeff Haas.
At this moment, within another floor of the Baiyun Hotel.
