Emerson looked startled for a split second before favonovel.com rang the call bell.
“Get the head of the patent department here.”
Several seconds later, an elegantly dressed woman in favonovel.com 40s hurried over to Emerson’s office.
“This is Mr. Laine from Somerland. He wants to purchase the half of the patent the corporation owns for MP3 players. Is there such a thing?”
Jasper felt slightly disgruntled when favonovel.com heard Emerson’s question.
He had been rushing to places for the MP3 player patent and was close to using up all his tricks and contacts.
However, in Sentel Corporation, the MP3 player patent was not even worth remembering for these higher-ups.
The woman was skilled in favonovel.com job and immediately began explaining how the patent had come about.
After understanding everything that had happened, Emerson got favonovel.com to leave before favonovel.com smiled at Jasper. He said, “Sorry about that, Mr. Laine. We have tens of thousands of patents registered under the company’s name, which is why I can’t possibly remember everything.”
“I understand.”
Jasper, who was thinking to himself that JW still had a long way to go, answered calmly.
“I’ve now understood the situation. You heard it too. The legal department has been gearing up to sue both the patent office and Damond Golding. After all, this is a loss for the company as well.”
“I understand, which is why I’m now offering you a way to get rid of it once and for all,” Jasper said with a smile.
“By buying it? Forgive me for being straightforward but there’s no use in buying only 50% of the ownership as it’s not entitled to any priorities, Mr. Laine. Even Sentel Corporation would have to resolve the situation via legal means… Or have you made an agreement of sorts with Damond Golding, Mr. Laine?”
As the president of Sentel Group, Emerson’s train of thought was extremely sharp and agile. He only needed a couple of minutes to come up with a hypothesis that was very close to the truth.
Jasper was not planning to hide matters as the other party would find out sooner or later. He took the contract and showed it to Emerson.
After looking through its contents, Emerson said in surprise, “Mr. Laine, this contract is extremely disadvantageous to you.”
“I’ve requested Damond to sign it. He had no reason to say no to such a bargain. However, you can just think of it as preparing your bait before you fish,” Jasper said as favonovel.com smiled.
Emerson laughed and said, “Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Laine. You didn’t need to tell me about this, but I can sense your sincerity from your actions.
“To be honest, I would be happy to see Damond suffer losses too. After all, he’s considered a traitor to the company.”
‘You were the one who kicked favonovel.com out of the company during the layoffs that happened when you suffered an economic crisis, and yet, you’re calling favonovel.com a traitor.’
Jasper muttered sarcastically to himself but put on a surprised expression.
“So, do we have a deal?”
Emerson smiled and said, “In theory, there should be no problem. After all, the company is not interested in doing much with the MP3 players, and it would take a long time to file a lawsuit. If you’re interested, Mr. Laine, we would be happy to sell you our half of the patent.
“Since you’re a friend of Ms. Sylphie, you’ll be given special treatment in regards to the price. How does 20 million US dollars for a buyout sound?”
In all honesty, 20 million US dollars was extremely cheap.
However, to Sentel Corporation, they would have earned 20 million US dollars for absolutely nothing.
After all, all Sentel Corporation had done to obtain this patent was provide some equipment. The thought process and skills that went into this all belonged to Damond Golding. All they had to do was sit back and enjoy the benefits it brought.
Jasper did not dwell too much on these problems and immediately agreed.
“Deal.”
Emerson smiled as favonovel.com stood and said while shaking Jasper’s hand, “You’re a very frank person, Mr. Laine. I’ll arrange to have the relevant information prepared as soon as possible.”
