Should Drew Play for Less $$ ?

TheOak · 02-03-2014, 10:23 AM

Let's see if this changes peoples view on value and market pricing.

Forget that $100M is someone's paycheck.... That makes it way too personal and hits too close to home for some to look at it the way it should.

Scenario:

Your company of 3 people (you, your wife and your daughter) invented a widget/technology; and you own the IP (intellectual property), patent, copy right, etc...

That widget/technology cost you $500 to produce.

Major corporation X is interested in buying it from you, company name, IP and all. You know and can prove that your widget/technology will save them $400 million over the next 4 years.

Keep in mind, once you sell it, you are done with it; you , your wife and daughter are unemployed.

What is your asking price for that widget/technology and your company?

I would lease it to them and charge $1 per $10 saved perpetually.

They want to own it. No other options on the table.

Just for you I will play along but the rules change in accordance with your option.

Your patent expires in 4 years. I will lease it from you exclusively for 4 years, and each month I will send you a statement from my company telling you how much we saved. My reason for wanting to buy was solely based off of gaining an advantage for 4 years and with out the exclusivity the value of your widget drops exponentially.

Estimated revenue for your company for this exclusive agreement over the next 4 years (length of your patent) 40 million. Estimated cash in my pocket over the next for years due to this deal 360million.

Thanks anyway. But I'm going to keep it on my mantle and live a simple life instead.

Your wife is going to be pissed and your daughter will be none too happy either.

How many times have we been to the playoffs, won some and actually won the Superbowl. I think he's earned it.

DRATS! A vote made me come back again thinking there was a reply.

I do love the "Yes,if he cared about the team he'd play for less than he's worth" crowd.

Go home and tell your wife the team at work is more important than the team at home . LOL

I'd say these people would make great employees but than you have wonder about their intelligence and/or judgement..

Last year I would have agreed with you, this year I am working on finesse.

Experience in life teaches a person that getting it right is more important than getting it their way.
