“At first, I was thinking it was fine as long as it could call the police, have GPS tracking, and other commonly seen functions. Later on, 1 thought that since we had included so many functions in it already, why not add a few more?
That’s when I started to work with the company’s research team. If it succeeds, it will be a groundbreaking innovation that would be the next mark of our technological advancement.”
Timothy sounded extremely passionate near the end of his speech. Kieran and Nicholas did not look too excited, but they thought Timothy’s idea was very mind- blowing as well.
That tiny watch actually had so many functions, and it was a smartwatch; just the mere thought of it was enough for them to realize just how very difficult technologically the research must have been.
However, that was exactly why it was a business opportunity. After a few moments of silence, Nicholas said, “In that case, the watch’s manufacturing cost is quite high. It won’t be suitable for mass manufacturing.”
Timothy did not deny that. After all, his company had spent over a million dollars just to make those two watches.
“If we cut out a few of the functions and keep the essentials, would it reduce the cost of production? It wouldn’t make it any less powerful either.”
“You’re right. Since this is a prototype, we wasted quite a lot of materials by mistake. That is the reason for its high cost. The company is familiar with the technology now though. There won’t be any mistakes, so the cost would be lowered.”
Timothy nodded in agreement. Happy with Timothy’s agreement, Nicholas declared, “Since this is possible to manufacture, Sawyer Group will invest about 150 million dollars into this product.”
Kieran and Timothy were shocked. The two of them were still excited by the prospects of the watch though. Hence, the three men continued to discuss for another 30 minutes before settling on a first proposal draft.
Sabrina and Tessa did not know anything about what the men were talking about. They were all in the living room, playing with the kids.
Stefania and Tobias had argued quite a few times about who should be holding Gordon. Sabrina and Tessa just watched and laughed.
When it was near noon and the three men had yet to leave the study room, Sabrina could not resist grumbling to Tessa. “As expected, all men are workaholics. We promised we were coming over to spend some stuff with you.”
“It’s fine. I’ll have a servant call them down for lunch later.” Tessa smiled in reassurance. She then continued, “It’s good for them to be like this. It shows they are ambitious in their career. It is an opportunity for Timothy.”
She might not be business-savvy, but she knew anything that Nicholas liked was definitely something amazing. Sabrina did not think so though.
She wrapped her arms around Gordon before affectionately wiping at his tiny nose. “Gordon, don’t be like your daddy and Uncle Tim. I want you to grow up like Gregory and be a kind and caring boy. Isn’t it great to be affectionate and loving?”
Naturally, Gordon did not understand what she was talking about. Nevertheless, he still stared up at her with a curious look in his eyes. Tessa watched as her son kept staring at Sabrina.
His black beady eyes would follow her the entire time; he looked so very animated and cute. “Gordon, this is Aunt Sabrina. Isn’t she pretty?”
Perhaps it was because he heard his mother’s voice, but Gordon suddenly started giggling. “Hehehe…”
His clear laughter and innocent grin melted the hearts of every adult in the room.
“The baby really likes to play favorites,” Stefania jealously grumbled. “The moment he hears his mother’s voice, he just laughs forever. I spent so much time trying to make him smile just now, and he just refused.”
Tessa’s smile spread wider when she heard that. Sabrina could not resist teasing the baby in her arms upon hearing that. “Do you like Mommy the most?”
She turned Gordon around so that he was looking at Tessa. At nearly two months old, Gordon was very familiar with Tessa’s presence. He immediately began to laugh louder while his arms and legs danced in the air.
