contents Recently S. Goswami proved that whenever the set $\mathbb N$ of natural numbers is finitely colored, the set $\{a, b, ab, b(a+1)\}$ is monochromatic which also established a variant of the long-standing Hindman's conjecture, which asks for a monochromatic set of the form $\{a, b, ab, a+b\}$. Actually he disproved a conjecture proposed by J. Sahasrabudhe that $\{a, b, a(b + 1)\}$ is not partition regular. In this paper we prove that $\{a, b, ab, b(a+1)\}$ is monochromatic near zero which means for every finite coloring of a dense subsemigroups of $((0, \infty), +)$, the set $\{a, b, ab, b(a+1)\}$ is monochromatic near zero or in other words, we will get $a, b$ in a dense subsemigroups of $((0, \infty), +)$ as small as we want such that the set $\{a, b, ab, b(a+1)\}$ is monochromatic for every finite coloring of that dense subsemigroups of $((0, \infty), +)$, also we show that the pattern $x, y, x+y, \frac{y}{x}$ is partition regular near zero.
