Not long after, Bobby came out and changed into casual clothes: "Would you like something to drink? I have coffee here, but it's instant."
Luke: "No, let's sit down and talk."
After the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Luke got straight to the point: "I'm back from a business trip, and I'll arrange a formal job for you while I'm still free today."
As he said, he took out a stack of documents from the backpack he was carrying: "You can take a look at these later, and I can tell you what it is first. These are all patent documents I applied for. As for what patent, Look at this."
Luke took out a mobile phone. Although it was still a functional phone, the screen was enlarged by him. Anyway, this is a test product for display, and there is nothing wrong with a larger size.
He opened a software and motioned for Bobby to come and take a look.
Bobby watched him operate for a moment, and said a little uncertainly, "This is, a map?"
Luke nodded: "Yes. With the GPS positioning function of the mobile phone, this can be used as a map of the whole country or even the world. The premise is that there are enough map data stored in the mobile phone."
Bobby was at a loss: "What's the use of this?"
Luke hummed: "Sell it to Google, but I'm too lazy to get this thing, and I'll sell it for money."
Bobby: "Google... like a search engine? They want this?"
Luke hehe, he roughly talked about the usefulness of this navigation map for Google.
Bobby nodded in understanding: "Then, what about the price?"
Luke thought for a while: "If you buy it out, the bottom line is 500 million US dollars, round up."
Bobby: ... God is so rounded up, did you say an extra zero
Luke certainly had a reason for saying this.
In his previous life, he had casually read some reports on Google's mergers and acquisitions. He didn't care about Google, and he was also surprised by the huge amount of funds for those acquisitions.
Among them, Google bought Motorola Mobility for US$12.5 billion in the last life, and sold it to Lenovo in China for US$2.9 billion a few years later. This is why he knew that Google was willing to pay. (Note: But Google retains a large number of Motorola's patented technologies)
Luke didn't know how much Google spent on the navigation map app.
But with the inertia of Google's wealth and wealth, and the broad prospects of maps after the emergence of smart phones, it is not an exaggeration to open a $500 million knife.
What if it doesn't work? Then it won't work.
At most, just get some other technologies of little value and sell them.
Luke knew the development trend of many things before, but he lacked the necessary ability and funds, so he couldn't make a fortune.
Now, he has purchased Tony Stark's four primary abilities, and it really shouldn't be too easy to make some money.
Sell this technology first to see if you can get enough funds at once.
Five hundred million dollars is enough for Luke for a long time.
He is not Tony Stark, the need for technology is not so high, and the speed of burning money does not need to change so much.
Luke kept the phone and the program, asked Bobby to use it for a demonstration, and took out another $10,000 to count as travel expenses for the past few months.
Is it illegal to give cash? It's okay to be informal.
Luke kept Bobby, he didn't really expect him to be the manager of the public relations department, it's just that he was too idle and he was just using waste.
He even encouraged Bobby to think about how much 1% of the shares would be divided into after selling the navigation map technology for $500 million? That's five million dollars.
With this money, Bobby can change from an ordinary person with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan to a wealthy class in an instant.
Of course, Bobby could only smile wryly at this: Then the navigation map technology must be able to sell 500 million!
But with this hope, it would be a lie to say that you are not motivated.
Although Bobby didn't believe it, he still looked forward to it. $500 million is too much, but $100 million is really drizzle for Google.
Luke is not afraid of companies like Google messing around, the patented technology is there!
In order to form a large number of patented technologies into basic patented technical barriers, he spent almost 100,000 yuan on the registration fee of the patent itself, and the law firm he entrusted also made tens of thousands of dollars.
Therefore, the villa where Luke lives now has been mortgaged.
Google here is just a long-term plan, a good business, and it is very simple for him to temporarily relax his hands.
Like, like, he has an uncle in Las Vegas.
California and Nevada are next to each other, and Los Angeles is only 430 kilometers away from Las Vegas. It only takes 4 hours by car and an hour by plane.
However, there is still a lot of money from the mortgage, and Luke is not in a hurry.
In this way, it was noon, and Luke drove to the University of Southern California.
The further south the University of Southern California goes, the worse the law and order is, there are many gangs, and there are countless crimes.
After driving around somewhere nearby for a while, he also found a fast food restaurant for lunch. Luke didn't leave here until four o'clock in the afternoon and returned home.
The place he was looking at was not a secret, it was just a gathering point of the D-36 gang. Members of this gang liked to tattoo the number D or 36 on their bodies. The main business of the gang was illegal drugs.
The reason why Luke tracked them down was also very simple, because they were the sellers who provided the weeds to Miss Ginny.
The reason for how Miss Ginny, who lives in Beverly Hills, found the traffickers is simpler, because she is a student at USC.
She is rich and has security protection, so she dared to let the gang here deliver the goods to her door.
Luke had already obtained basic information about the D-36 gang from Dustin and Elsa in the last case of Katie's murder. Coupled with his own investigation, he had roughly figured out the identity of the gang. range of activities.
Now that he has storage space, he can do a lot of things.
After returning home, he opened the refrigerator and looked for the ingredients first.
There are indeed no ingredients for breakfast, but there are a lot of ingredients for dinner in the refrigerator. Selena will not eat these raw meat.
The seasoning has also not been touched, and the staple food for the evening is also available.
He dug out the rarely used barbecue pit, moved it to the small courtyard behind, and put a few large pieces of meat on it.
This kind of American country barbecue can be boring for five or six hours. In order to save time, he deliberately made the meat into smaller pieces. The method of throwing in five catties and ten catties of meat directly for roasting is fine.
After finishing this, Luke started to go online, check the flight to Las Vegas, calculate the round-trip itinerary, and see how to maximize the use of time.
Then check the big hotels in Las Vegas, the ones with entertainment halls, and they must have a good reputation.
Not only can these hotels afford to lose, but they can also guarantee that after he wins a large sum of money, he will not be targeted by people for no reason. There are many desperate people there who take risks for money.
There are also such entertainment venues in downtown Los Angeles, but Luke is a policeman here.
But in Las Vegas, he is a commoner, and how much money he wins there is legal.
