If she wanted her patents to be put to use, she would need to

find investors and developers.

However, Reginald could not only acquire her patents but also

make her a project lead and offer dividends. Nothing could be

more perfect.

Seeing Harriet agree, Reginald asked, “What’s your expected

your transfer price?”

Harriet had never sold a patent before. She thought carefully,

then raised her right index finger.

Before she could speak, Reginald frowned slightly, “A hundred

million? Harriet, that’s too high. It’s almost impossible in the

current market.”

A hundred million?

Harriet was amused and withdrew her hand, “Mr. Barton, why don’t you name a price? If I think it’s fair, I’ll sign.”

At this point, both of them were strictly businesslike.

Chapter136

Reginald said, “Thirty million. That’s already the highest price the industry can offer you. I don’t think any otherpany would go higher.”

Harriet replied, “Thirty million, I ept.”

She had originally nned to ask for ten million, since a techpany had offered her that amount a couple of years ago. At the time, she was at the Townsend Group, so she didn’t ept.

Now, Reginald was offering thirty million, plus making her a project lead and giving her a share of future profits. He had

given her everything he could.

So, Harriet agreed right away.

She promised to bring the patent certificate and other

documents the next day.

Thirty million! Thirty million!

After leaving Reginald’s office, Harriet was in an exceptionally

good mood.

It was the happiest day she’d had in three years.

So, after work that evening, she bought Ralph’s favorite snacks

Chapter136

and fruit and went to visit him.

Inside the house, seeing Harriet beaming with joy, Ralph asked,

“Granddaughter, did something good happen?”

Sitting beside Ralph, Harriet held his hand and smiled,

“Grandpa, do you remember the invention patent I got in my senior year of high school? Ourpany bought it, and they

made me the project lead, with dividends toeter.”

Before Ralph could respond, Harriet mysteriously held up three fingers, “Thirty million, my transfer fee is thirty million, and once the product hits the market, my dividends will be even more.”

Seeing Harriet so happy, Ralph was delighted too, proudly

saying, “I knew my granddaughter was capable. With your

abilities, I won’t have to worry in the future.”

As he spoke, he patted the back of Harriet’s hand and said in a

softer voice, “Remember to keep an eye on the treasures in the

basement. They’re all for your retirement.”

Hearing Ralph’s words, Harriet spread her arms and hugged

him, saying with emotion, “Grandpa, you must stay healthy.

You’re all I have left.”

Ralph cheerfully patted Harriet’s back,forting her, “Don’t

worry. For my Hara, I’ll do my best to live on, to live to two

hundred years old.”

Harriet couldn’t help butugh at that.

Letting go of the hug, Harriet held Ralph’s hand. He really was

all she had left.

Having agreed to the patent transfer, the next day at work,

ments

Harriet brought the certificates and documents to thepany

to sign the agreement with Reginald.

As soon as they finished signing, the finance department processed the payment right away.

Reginald’s efficiency was beyond reproach.

Looking at the transfer fee in her ount, Harriet smiled and

said, “Mr. Barton, thank you.”

Putting away Harriet’s patent and documents, Reginald said, “If

you want to thank someone, you should thank Ellsworth.”

At Reginald’s words, Harriet looked up at him.

Seeing this, Reginald smiled and exined, “When the

Chapter136

Townsend Group invested in the optoelectronics project, they

also invested five hundred million in the home robot project.

That’s why thepany had the special funds to sign your

patent. To be fair, Ellsworth has a good eye for business and is

very generous.”

At this point, Reginald added, “But his good judgment is limited

to business.”

At Reginald’s words, Harriet smiled.

After smiling, she stood up and said warmly, “In any case, thank you for your support, Mr. Barton. I won’t let you down.”

Looking up at Harriet, Reginald said earnestly, “Harriet, this is

just the beginning. This is also your first project. I hope you can

make a name for yourself.”

Reginald valued Harriet highly. He had long wanted to put her

patents to use, but all of Gxy Innovations‘ funds were

earmarked, every penny spent where it mattered most.

The home robot project had been in development for a long

time, but avable funds were limited. This time, Ellsworth had

helped the project.

Harriet smiled calmly, “Mr. Barton, I will do my best to live up to

Chapter136

your expectations.”

After returning to her office with the signed contract, Harriet

soon drove to theb again.
