Chapter 37: First Negotiation with Microsoft
"Mr. Bill, let's not talk about business today. I will arrange a special breakfast in my hometown later, and then Mr. Bill will take a rest and discuss it later. How about that?" Chu Feng smiled and talked to Bill as if he were talking to an old man next door.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Chu. There is a saying in China that guests should do as they please, so just follow Mr. Chu's arrangements."
The assistant was a little stunned by Bill's words, and he quickly translated it.
This assistant has been with Bill for a long time. When did Bill become so easy to talk to? Although Bill is not as strong as Steve Jobs, he is not an easy-going person. If Bill hadn't been right in front of him, the assistant would have thought that someone else was pretending.
The atmosphere also became harmonious, without the initial excitement. Chu Feng also introduced the local customs and customs of Hailing to Bill. Bill was very interested in hearing this and said he wanted to have a good time in Hailing after the incident was over.
After a while, we arrived at the big hotel.
The greeter opened the car door, and Chu Feng and Bill got out of the car after talking happily with everyone's stunned expressions. People couldn't help but wonder if Chu Feng had known Bill before.
Otherwise, why would the two of them become like good friends in such a short time?
Under the guidance of the manager, the two came to a magnificent banquet room.
Please ask Bill and others to take a seat, and Chu Feng and others to take a seat.
Not long after, the waiter served breakfast like water.
The first one is Hailing’s special breakfast of boiled dried shredded noodles.
Originally, the hotel staff asked if they wanted to prepare Western food, but Chu Feng refused. Since I came to my hometown in China, I must prepare my own unique food. If I want to eat Western food, wouldn't it be better to eat it at home?
Dry shredded noodles are a famous breakfast snack in Hailing. Generally, there are boiled dried shredded noodles and blanched dried shredded noodles. Boiled dried shredded noodles are added with ham shreds, bamboo shoot shreds, mushroom shreds, fungus shreds, whitebait shreds, seaweed shreds, egg skin shreds, and chicken shreds.
For high-end products, shredded sea cucumbers or bird's nests are also added. The dried shreds are made by splitting clean white dry shreds into thin shreds, blanch them in boiling water and put them on a plate. Then cut the bud ginger into thin shreds and cover the top of the dish. The dried shreds are white and the ginger is
The silk is golden, add a handful of dried shrimps, pour it with soy sauce and pure sesame oil, once mixed, it becomes yellow and white, and when you finish eating it, the fragrance will linger on your teeth and cheeks.
There is a saying: "Huainan is my hometown, and the nine-silk soup passed down from Qianjia to Qianjia is clear, light and natural, with long lasting flavor."
In the early morning, have a hot bowl of boiled dried shredded silk. The delicious taste and rich ingredients complement each other and make you full of energy for the day.
Because Bill and others are foreigners and are not used to Chinese chopsticks, they thoughtfully prepared knives and forks.
Bill looked at the dried silk in front of him and was a little confused.
"Mr. Chu, are these Chinese noodles? They don't look like them, do they?" Bill asked with some confusion.
Chu Feng didn't mean to laugh at Bill, and explained Gansi to Bill with a smile.
Bill suddenly realized that according to Chu Feng's words, he took a sip of the soup, which immediately filled his mouth with delicious flavor, and then ate the tender and smooth dried shredded silk. Bill, who had only eaten airplane food, whetted his appetite, and the assistants and company personnel who came with him also expressed their appreciation for the soup.
The boiled dry silk noodles are full of praise, and the Chinese delicacies are indeed well-deserved.
Then it has a history of nearly 200 years, which has been famous all over the country. Its characteristics: thick but not oily, oily but not greasy, skin as thin as paper, rich and delicious soup; when it is just out of the cage, it "puts it on the plate like a clock, and clamps it on the chopsticks like a clock."
"Lantern", the crab oil is golden, shaking gently, like a crab roe soup dumpling with a soft-shell egg.
Its color and aroma are different from other pastries. It has a plump and beautiful appearance, a golden color like a crab shell, a crispy texture in the mouth, not burnt, not burnt, not oily and not greasy.
Xuanbao wontons with thin skin, tender filling and delicious soup.
A peach-embedded sesame cake with sweet and salty flavors, golden color, crispy texture and endless aftertaste.
The price of the breakfast was not high, but everyone was satisfied and thoroughly enjoyed it. Bill finally wanted to pack it up and take it back to China for his wife, and Chu Feng naturally agreed.
After the meal, Bill and others went to the room prepared by the hotel to rest and arrange for the first discussion in the afternoon.
At noon, Chu Feng invited Bill to have lunch at Haiyan Hotel.
What we are preparing is the Hailing specialty "Meilan Banquet"
The Meilan Banquet is mainly based on the flavor of Huaiyang cuisine, with exquisite materials and rigorous production. It pursues the original taste, freshness and peace, and the dishes are elegant and beautiful in shape and texture. The "Meilan Banquet" was developed in memory of Mr. Mei Lanfang
, combines opera with culinary culture, uses Mr. Mei Lanfang’s 18 representative plays as the background, uses opera as a dish, metaphors or metaphors
At the same time, it absorbed Mr. Mei’s daily eating habits and the famous Taizhou delicacies he tasted during the tour, forming a colorful, elegant and luxurious style of the banquet. There are 21 dishes, 9 noodles and snacks, 18 of which are from
Representative dramas named after Mei Lanfang, such as The Phoenix Returns to the Nest, Daiyu Lianhua, Farewell My Concubine, The Drunken Concubine, etc.
Chinese people, how can we eat without liquor?
It uses high-quality sorghum and wheat as the main raw materials, adopts high-temperature koji making and high-temperature distillation processes, and is carefully blended after long-term storage. It is slightly yellow in color, clear and transparent, has an elegant aroma, and has a mellow body. It has won the gold medal at the first China Food Expo, and has won the gold medal in all previous
The gold medal at the Jiangnan Provincial Food Expo; Meilan Chun wine, which is exported to more than 20 countries and regions in Xiangjiang, Baodao, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Europe and the United States, has become the first choice.
These meals also let Bill know Chu Feng's importance and enthusiasm for the others, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
After lunch, Bill and his entourage arrived at the temporary office building of Lightyear Company.
In the huge conference room, everyone was seated and the discussion began.
"Mr. Chu, I must apologize to you first. Due to some unstable factors, I want to express my apologies for the unhappiness caused by Microsoft and Lightyear."
Bill apologized at the beginning, which also caught those on Chu Feng's side who were planning to use this matter as an excuse. However, Chu Feng did not have any surprises. The ancestors of China had already mastered these games and pre-empted them. I have already apologized. You can't
Just hold on and hold on.
Chu Feng actually didn't take this matter to heart, because sooner or later the Origin System would be released, it was just a matter of time. The actions of Microsoft and other companies only gave Chu Feng a chance. Speaking of which, Chu Feng had to thank them.
But Chu Feng would not say it out loud.
"Let the past be bygones. People always have to look forward. There is no future for development if we stick to the past. I can also see the sincerity of your company, otherwise Mr. Bill wouldn't come to discuss cooperation, right?
?”
Chu Feng exposed this article in an understatement, but Microsoft punched the air in the air. The rhetoric he prepared next was useless. You can't let others not mind it, so you can still pester it.
But it's best to expose it, and Bill didn't care, and continued: "I wonder if Mr. Chu has any intention to cooperate with Microsoft?"
"How to cooperate?" Chu Feng asked with some interest.
Seeing Chu Feng's interest, Bill also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Chu Feng was stupid and thought he was invincible, so he had to go it alone. Then the basis for negotiation was gone and he could only fight to the death. His Microsoft company has developed so much.
After many years, it is not so easy to be defeated.
"I'm very curious. The language of Lightyear Company's origin system and primary artificial intelligence is not the C language we are familiar with at all. Can this satisfy my curiosity?"
Before the cooperation was discussed, I asked about the key points first. As expected of a programmer, he got to the point.
"Mr. Bill, who is engaged in software, should be very clear about the characteristics of C language. C language has only 32 keywords and 9 types of control statements. Programs can be written in free form and are case-sensitive. Therefore, it is simple, compact, flexible and convenient, etc., but the shortcomings are still very serious.
Obviously, the shortcomings of C language are mainly reflected in the encapsulation of data, which makes C very flawed in data security."
Listening to Chu Feng's talk, Bill nodded. He knew these very well, so he was even more curious about how Chu Feng solved these problems.
"Our origin system uses a new language program. We named it origin language, which means it is a new beginning of the system language. Origin has more convenient programming conditions, tighter logical reasoning, and is more advanced in data processing.
Quick, this involves the company’s commercial secrets, I’m sorry I can’t answer in detail.”
Bill was acting like a bitch at this time. As soon as he mentioned the key point, Chu Feng fooled him. He didn't reveal any specific details. He just knew that a new algorithm called "Origin" was used. This was not mentioned.
No difference.
"This kid is too slippery." Bill sighed secretly.
"I hope your company can accept Microsoft's joining, and Microsoft can purchase the patent rights of Origin! Even if it is exchanged for 2% of Microsoft's equity."
Bill's words surprised everyone. Don't take 2% as no big deal.
Microsoft's stock price is now 158.67 Citicoins per share, with a total market value of 1.21 trillion Citicoins, and a 2% stake is equivalent to 24.2 billion Citicoins.
The current richest man in China is Wang Jianlin, with a wealth of only 28.7 billion Citicoins. If Chu Feng agrees now, his net worth will instantly be on the list of China's richest people, and he will also become the youngest person in China's top 100 on the Forbes list.
Coupled with the rising technology company Lightyear Company, given time, another technology empire will definitely be born!
Lightyear Company is overjoyed. With Lightyear Company's technology and Microsoft's strength, their future prospects are predictable.
However, Chu Feng calmly shook his head.
The executives of Lightyear Company were a little impressed and a little disappointed, but Lin Lin behind Chu Feng looked at Chu Feng who refused with her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
Bill was also full of disappointment. This result was unexpected.
But he was even more interested in Chu Feng. He had never seen many young people in his life who could achieve such a prestigious level.
How many people have the courage to refuse the temptation to become the world's top rich man in an instant? And still do so lightly?
In fact, Chu Feng doesn't have much feeling about money. He can't spend it now anyway. If Bill and others knew about it, would they make their noses crooked?
"It seems that Mr. Chu is very confident in his company's technology. Is there really no way to cooperate?"
Chapter completed!
