In the Green Lake Hotel, three representatives from the Patriot Company stared at Mu Shuang at the same time, hoping that Mu Shuang would give a reasonable explanation! Why would the Lycra Company of China only need half a million dollars to purchase the source code of the smile detection program?
What about their Patriot Company, which needs two million dollars?
Shi Lei and Ling Yumo also looked at Mu Shuang strangely, wondering why Mu Shuang treated him differently.
Mu Shuang sat upright on the chair, with a calm face and a calm tone: "Lycra Company only needs the source code of the smile detection program and Xia Guo's patent authorization. Therefore, we only charge them five hundred thousand US dollars. However,
We are going to sell the patent rights of the smile detection program to you, Patriot Company, and make you the owner of the patent rights. Therefore, you need to pay two million US dollars!"
Although Zhong Muyuan is smart, he is not a technician after all, and he does not understand patent rights. So Zhong Muyuan shouted: "We don't want any patent rights, we only want source code and patent authorization!"
Mu Shuang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhong, are you sure you don't want the patent?"
Technician Lao Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to remind Zhong Muyuan, but in the end he did not speak.
"Ms. Mu, I'm sure! As long as the source code and patent authorization are included, is it worth half a million dollars?" Zhong Muyuan asked directly without thinking about it.
Mu Shuang nodded, "Yes, it only costs five hundred thousand dollars. However, I can give you one day to think about it, and we will talk about it tomorrow!"
Zhong Muyuan wanted to say that he would sign the contract now, but Lao Xiao finally couldn't help it and pulled Zhong Muyuan's clothes and winked at him.
"Oh, thank you Ms. Mu, we will consider it carefully!"
Shi Lei and two people from Lycra Company returned to the small conference room they rented. After consultation, Mu Shuang and William signed a preliminary agreement of intent.
Among them, it is clearly stipulated that Leica Company can use the source code of the smile detection program and conduct secondary development, but it cannot disclose the source code to the outside world. Shi Lei needs to provide technical support to help Leica Company integrate the smile detection program into
In the digital camera system of Leica Corporation.
After signing the preliminary agreement of intent, Shi Lei mentioned Shuangqing University's campus software competition to William, hoping that William would use the official name of Laika Company to send an application letter to Shuangqing University to become a judge of the campus software competition.
After William heard the story, he expressed great interest that it was no problem, and the two parties agreed that the licensing contract for the smile detection program would be officially signed when the results of the software competition were announced!
After settling the matter with Lycra Company, Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to take Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang back to school, the head of the Kodak negotiating team, George, called Shi Lei again and invited him to
Negotiate at Green Lake Hotel.
Shi Lei and the two beauties Ling Yumo went directly to the conference hall rented by Kodak to start a new round of negotiations.
In the conference hall, Chief George Black of Kodak Company held a thick stack of documents. When Shi Lei walked in, Chief George said politely: "Mr. Shi, you are here so quickly!"
Shi Lei did not hide it and said directly: "I came to the Green Lake Hotel this morning. I was negotiating with the Lycra Company of the Will Country in the morning, and our Patriot Company of the Xia Kingdom in the afternoon."
Captain George frowned, and his assistant Mike couldn't help but said: "Mr. Shi, we have a question, why is Sony the patent owner of the smile detection program?"
Shi Lei raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Mike, I need to correct you for a mistake. The Xia Guo patent for the smile detection program belongs to us, not Sony. In addition, our smile detection program is far superior to Sony's."
!”
Mike snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Shi, why didn't you speak out at the beginning of the negotiation?"
"Mr. Mike, with all due respect, if it is a global patent, how much do you think the smile detection program is worth?" Shi Lei stopped Mike in his tracks!
Once the smile detection program is launched, 99.999% of cameras, as well as most mobile phone cameras in later generations, will be equipped with this program.
With such a huge amount of usage, just the patent licensing fee is an astronomical sum! How can it be so cheap?
"Mr. Shi, if it's just Xia Guo's patent rights and the source code of the smile detection program, our Kodak company can only offer a maximum of fifty thousand US dollars!" Captain George frowned.
Shi Lei's face stiffened slightly, "Fifty thousand US dollars? Is Kodak sending beggars away?"
Even Mu Shuang couldn't help but smile!
"Captain George, you Kodak are not sincere at all!" Shi Lei couldn't hold back his disgust and sneered.
George Blake said seriously: "Mr. Shi, we at Kodak are very sincere, and fifty thousand U.S. dollars is not a lot. It is equivalent to your Xia country currency, which is a full four hundred thousand! Mr. Shi, four hundred thousand Xia country currency is enough for you to travel around the school.
Let’s buy a property!”
Shi Lei chuckled. It turned out that Kodak investigated his identity and they thought he was a student. Is it easy to fool him? No wonder in 2012, this century-old giant in the photography industry collapsed and declared bankruptcy!
From their attitude towards new technologies, we can see how conservative and decadent this company is!
"Captain George, please keep your $50,000!" Shi Lei stood up and was about to announce the termination of negotiations.
George made a last effort and said: "Mr. Shi, most of the patent rights for the smile detection program are in the hands of Sony. They will not let you master Xia Guo's patent. They will definitely harass you through judicial channels!
If you are willing to transfer Xia Guo's patent rights to our Kodak company, we are willing to pay one hundred thousand US dollars!"
Shi Lei couldn't bear it any longer and burst out laughing. Kodak was such a disappointment to him!
Originally, Shi Lei was most willing to cooperate with Kodak. This century-old company has great influence in the entire Xia Kingdom. The saying "Share the moment, share the life." is even more widely known in the Xia Kingdom!
It's just a pity that Kodak was a little stingy after all and didn't pay too much attention to new technologies! This also paved the way for the tragic ending of Kodak's eventual bankruptcy!
"Captain George, we still have something to do. Let's make an appointment for negotiation next time!" Shi Lei left the last trace of face for Kodak and did not bluntly say it was impossible.
Captain George looked regretful, "Mr. Shi, it's such a pity. We are ready to return to Lijian Country. I wish you good luck!"
Shi Lei took the two beauties and walked out of the conference hall without looking back!
In the elevator, Ling Yumo pouted and said, "Stone monster, the people from Kodak are so annoying!"
Mu Shuang agreed: "A century-old world enterprise, they have their arrogance, but they are not aware of their hidden dangers yet!"
Shi Lei was slightly shocked. Could it be that Mu Shuang was so powerful? He could predict the failure of Kodak?
"Mu Shuang, what's the crisis at Kodak?" Shi Lei asked tentatively.
Mu Shuang glanced at Shi Lei and then explained: "The future of photography belongs to simpler digital cameras, not old-fashioned film! Kodak cannot let go of its past glory and will be eliminated!"
Shi Lei was shocked! Is Mu Shuang's business vision really that great?
"I see!"
The three of them walked out of Green Lake Hotel and were about to take a taxi back to Shuangqing University when Shi Lei's cell phone rang again.
After the connection was connected, a wretched voice came over. "Excuse me, is this Mr. Shi Lei? I am the representative of Canon, Kogu Ichiro!"
Xiao Inu Ichiro's Xia Mandarin was very substandard, and Shi Lei had a hard time understanding it!
"I am Shi Lei, Mr. Dog, where are you now?" Shi Lei asked, if the other party is about to arrive at Green Lake Hotel, then wait for them and try to finish the conversation together today!
Ichiro Kogu asked the translator Kuyoko Matsushita next to him in Japanese, "Kuyoko, where is this?"
Kuyoko Matsushita is a young woman who looks quite pretty. She looked at Inuichiro with a charming smile and said flatteringly: "Inu-kun, this is Shuangqing University. It will take us about five minutes to arrive at Green Lake Hotel.
.”
Koinu Ichiro directly handed the phone to Matsushita Kuyoko and said: "Kuyoko, tell that person that we will arrive at the Green Lake Hotel immediately and ask them to go to the Green Lake Hotel as well!"
Shi Lei heard everything clearly on the phone. Shi Lei was proficient in Japanese and could speak fluent Japanese!
However, Shi Lei followed William's example, clearly understanding the other person's language but pretending not to understand.
Matsushita Kuyoko answered the phone and said in a coquettish voice: "Shi Leijun, hello, I am the translator for the Canon delegation, and my name is Matsushita Kuyoko. We are about to arrive at the Green Lake Hotel, and I hope Shi Leijun can also make it.
Go to Green Lake Hotel and we will discuss the smile detection procedure as soon as possible."
Shi Lei responded: "Miss Kudaizi, we are already at Green Lake Hotel, waiting for your arrival at any time!"
A few minutes later, a black business car parked in front of the Green Lake Hotel. A short, fat and obscene man, less than 1.6 meters tall, got out of the back seat. Immediately afterwards, a man about 1.65 meters tall came out of the back seat.
The woman got out of the car. Then, two men in formal suits with serious expressions got out of the car from the passenger seat and the back seat respectively.
The short, fat and ugly man, who is less than 1.6 meters tall, is none other than Inu Ichiro. He puts his arms around Kuyoko Matsushita's waist and pinches Kuyoko Matsushita's waist very irregularly. But Kuyoko Matsushita looks like she is enjoying herself.
It makes people feel indescribably awkward!
Although Kogu Ichiro is short, fat and ugly, he is the deputy director of the public relations department of Canon, and his family owns a lot of shares in Canon!
This time, Wai Fat Chou should not have been sent to the Xia Kingdom for negotiations, but Wai Fat Chou argued hard and believed that the mere untouchables of the Xia Kingdom were not worthy of a big fight, so he might as well be allowed to go. Only then did he gain the identity of the leader of the negotiating team.
.
Fortunately, Canon was not stupid and sent two technical experts to follow Short Fat Chou.
When the short, fat and ugly man walked into the lobby of Green Lake Hotel with Kuyoko Matsushita in his arms, he immediately looked at Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang with bright eyes, full of wretchedness!
