"Patriarch, you are looking for me." Du Dian came to Fulin and bowed slightly to salute.
Flynn smiled and said, "This Mr. Charles of the Scott family came to chat with you, talking about the new textile machine."
Du Dian had expected it. Hearing what he said, he turned to the middle-aged man next to him and said, "Du Dian has seen Mr. Charles."
Charles stroked the emerald ring on his finger, and said with a smile, "I've heard that Mr. Du is not very old, but I didn't expect him to be so young. He is really an outstanding young talent!"
"You have won the prize." Du Dian said humbly, and did not feel any extra favor for him because of his praise.
Charles smiled and said: "Mr. Du, your invention of the new textile machine and the 'match' are extremely remarkable creations, especially this new textile machine, it is really great! I am here this time mainly to find you Let’s talk about our future cooperation.”
"Cooperation?" Du Dian moved slightly in his heart and asked, "You mean?"
There was a smile on the corner of Charles's mouth, and he said: "From now on, our Scott Consortium is willing to buy out all your other inventions, and the price is definitely higher than the price offered by other consortia. Contact our Scott Consortium as soon as possible."
Du Dian understood that the matches and new textile machines this time gave the Scott consortium a taste of the sweetness, so he wanted to transplant his cash cow to his manor. Although the inspiration of inventors will be exhausted, sometimes only one or two famous works will be created and there will be no new masterpieces, but even so, there is still a very low possibility of recreating new inventions with great commercial value, and this kind of Chances are, it's worth them sending someone over to win them over in person.
Du Dian thought about it quickly, and said humbly: "You think highly of me. I'm just a hunter. Invention is just my side job, or a little bit of amateur fun. It's pure luck to be able to tinker with these two things this time."
Charles said with a smile: "Mr. Du is too modest, if the people in the "Elements Temple" hear this, why don't they vomit blood with anger? It’s just a side job, but the invention is so great. If you study hard, there will be a statue of your honor in the future "Elements Temple", which will be immortal! "
Hearing his exaggerated words, Du Dian knew that he was flattering himself, and he might not even believe what he said, so he said with a smile: "You really overestimate me, I can't decide this matter alone, I want to think about it again. "
Charles still had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of sullenness in the depths of his eyes, and he said slowly: "Mr. Du, we have cooperated twice, don't you still trust our Scott Consortium, old Flynn But you know, our Scott Consortium is the most trustworthy."
Flynn next to him smiled and said, "Of course we won't question the credibility of your Scott Consortium, otherwise we wouldn't be the first to seek cooperation from you."
Charles glanced at him, knowing that it was still difficult to take down the old fox after boasting his words, but what he didn't expect was that this young man was not moved. The smile is just polite, and there is no real heartbeat. In the final analysis, we still have to talk about the most practical thing, money.
"Let's do this." Charles mused, "I'll give you five thousand gold coins for invention, and I'll treat it as the sincerity of our cooperation with the Scott Foundation. What do you think?"
Seeing that he finally talked about money, Du Dian turned his head and glanced at Fulin. The two had been together for many days, and they knew each other's thoughts when they met. Du Dian slowly said: "The invention fund of five thousand gold coins is enough to see Si The sincerity of the Kurt Consortium is just that no one can be sure about inventing such a thing, so it is really unreasonable to take money for no reason."
Charles didn't expect Du Dian to be unmoved at all, his face changed slightly, and he said, "What do you mean, Mr. Du?"
Du Dian didn't speak, but glanced at Fulin.
Flynn understood and said to Charles: "Mr. Charles, since you are so sincere, we can't refuse. Now that we are short of money, why don't you share the follow-up expenses of the match and buy it out for us at one time. What do you think?"
"One buyout for you?" Charles was taken aback, his face changed, and he shook his head, "Matches are still on sale, so we can't estimate the future market, nor can we estimate the cost of a buyout."
Fulin smiled and said: "We won't ask for too much, 50,000 gold coins to buy out, we will not ask for any more share from now on, and our Xinshi Consortium will no longer operate the match business, what do you think?"
Charles was stunned for a moment. Fifty thousand gold coins is not much. Judging from the current value of matches, as time goes by, the profit he can make is far more than fifty thousand. The longer the time, the more he earns. Goods that don't fade, like the status of the scythe.
As for whether the Xinshi Consortium will sell matches, he didn't think about it. He said it was a consortium, but in fact, it is currently the only commander of the Lane family. With the few shops under the Lane family alone, it may not be able to buy a thousand for ten years. gold.
"I need to go back and discuss this matter." Charles was silent for a moment, and said to Flynn: "But the family should agree, so I hope you can think about it seriously."
Fulin smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning: "I will wait for your news."
Charles glanced at him, then at Du Dian, said nothing more, got up and said, "In that case, I'll go back first, goodbye." After finishing speaking, he turned and left the hall.
Du Dian and Flynn watched Charles get into the carriage and leave. After the carriage disappeared down the hillside, Flynn slowly looked back and said to Du Dian: "They should agree, this is a profitable business. "
Du Dian nodded slightly, and thoughtfully said: "They are so urgent, they should be worried that other consortiums will also find us."
"They are not the only ones who can see gold." Flynn laughed.
As Du Dian and Flynn expected, not long after the Scott consortium left, at 9:00 in the morning, another consortium of the same size also sent people over. It was the Green consortium. The price they offered was what Charles said. Almost, Flynn sent him back on the grounds of "consideration".
Behind the Green Consortium, several consortiums came one after another, but they all returned with regrets in the end.
"Only the military department and the Mellon consortium didn't send anyone here. It seems that the Mellon consortium is self-aware." Fulin smiled at Du Dian and said, "You are now a big celebrity in the aristocratic circle. An inventor with a bright future, every noble wants to find you to cooperate, but in front of these consortium giants, these nobles also know how capable they are."
Du Dian is not very happy. Whether it is a hunter or an inventor, people only value the benefits he can create.
the next day.
Charles from the Scott Consortium came to Ryan Castle again, bringing a contract and fifty thousand gold coins.
"Mr. Fulin, Mr. Du, this is the buyout money for matches. Please count them." Charles handed over the contract with an elegant smile on his face, and said, "The family values Mr. Du's talent very much. After I went back yesterday and mentioned it, I directly Passed, if there is no problem with the contract, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Flynn and Du Dian glanced at each other, knowing that it was the news that other consortiums came to visit yesterday and passed to the Scott consortium, which made them make up their minds. Ten thousand gold coins will definitely cause controversy within the consortium. If it is passed directly as Charles said, it is estimated that the contract was handed over before noon yesterday.
Flynn took out a magnifying glass to look at the contract, nodded and said: "No problem, from now on, for any inventions of Mr. Du, if our Xinshi Consortium wants to find someone to cooperate with, you Scott will be the first one, please rest assured. "
Charles nodded with a smile. He was not worried about Flynn's fraud. The nobles still had this reputation, and they would send people to keep an eye on the Ryan family.
