Zhong Muyuan fell into deep thought. Two million US dollars a year is not a small amount of money!
Although Patriot Company, after deducting various expenses, can still make a profit of five to six million US dollars every year. But no one dislikes the money, right?
"Ms. Mu, two million dollars a year is too much! Moreover, the smile detection program has just been developed. I don't know how long it will take before it becomes popular!" Zhong Muyuan tried to pay Shi Lei as little as possible, and worked hard to find a way to use the smile detection program.
Disadvantages.
Mu Shuang's expression remained normal and she said: "Mr. Zhong, we are all sensible people, why do we need to speak in such layman's terms? The patent rights for the smile detection program, except for Xia Guo, already belong to Sony. This technology only requires one person at most.
Within 20 years, it will be fully used in digital cameras. Any digital camera that is not equipped with a smile detection program is definitely a symbol of obsolescence and reduces market competitiveness for no reason. I think no manufacturer is so stupid, right?"
Zhong Muyuan looked embarrassed, "Ms. Mu, even if it is as you said, this technology will be widely used soon. However, the patent royalties are not so easy to collect! So, I hope you will consider lowering some standards.
.”
Mu Shuang was unmoved at all, "Mr. Zhong, the reason why we like Patriot Company is because of the connections behind you. If you don't agree to the cooperation plan, we don't have other options. According to my understanding, even if we
There are many companies in Shuangqing City with deeper backgrounds than you. Although these companies are not camera companies, they won’t refuse a cooperation with an annual income of more than five million US dollars, right?"
These words struck a vital chord in Zhong Muyuan!
There are countless companies with strong backgrounds, and Patriot is not the only one. Maybe other companies don’t even understand the basic operations of the camera industry, but they have enough backgrounds and only charge royalties!
Lao Xiao looked at Zhong Muyuan anxiously, hoping that Zhong Muyuan would agree. The financial situation of Patriot Company was not ideal, especially the funds invested in camera research and development were simply insufficient!
If we have this big business and invest in the research and development of digital cameras, the strength of the Patriot camera system will increase a lot!
Zhong Muyuan was not a fool, and he could tell that Mu Shuang was not joking. He quickly said: "We can agree to this condition. However, we also have a request. If brother Shi Lei develops a more advanced smile detection program in the future, we patriots will have the same
Conditional right of first refusal! And, brother Shi Lei, you need to help us integrate the smile detection program into the Patriot camera!"
Mu Shuang said nothing and looked at Shi Lei.
Shi Lei thought about it for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"
After the two parties finalized the negotiation content, they drafted a preliminary cooperation agreement. Shi Lei also requested that the formal contract be signed at the campus software competition.
After Zhong Muyuan heard about the bet between Shi Lei and Chen Ming, he immediately said that he would use the name of Patriot Company to send an application letter to Shuangqing University to become a judge of the campus software competition.
At noon, both parties who reached the preliminary agreement were naturally happy. Zhong Muyuan even called Ludwig from Laika down and gathered at a table together to celebrate.
Ludwig Wilhelm Erhard of Leica Company and technical expert Conrad Cole, because they agreed to Shi Lei, they joined the judging panel of Shuangqing University's campus software competition, and they have not yet officially signed a contract with Shi Lei.
, so I still stayed at Green Lake Hotel.
At a luncheon, William and Zhong Muyuan drank high doses of Wuliangye at each other. Shi Lei naturally drank coconut milk to watch the battle. In the end, both sides suffered losses, and William and Zhong Muyuan got under the table at the same time!
In the afternoon, Shi Lei, who had repeatedly skipped classes, was going to go back to school with Ling Yumo for a class. However, just as he walked into the school gate, Shi Lei's cell phone rang.
Looking at the unfamiliar call, Shi Lei didn't pay attention and pressed the answer button.
"Shi Lei, I am Chen Guangliang from the serious crime team of Shuanghu Police Station. Come to the police station right away!"
Shi Lei smiled and said: "Captain Chen, why don't you give up?"
Chen Guangliang said in a serious tone: "Shi Lei, I think you don't want me to send Ouyang Xiang to bring you back, right?"
"Hmph!" Shi Lei snorted, "Captain Chen, I'll be here right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yumo asked first, "Stone monster, is this the police's call?"
Mu Shuang also looked at Shi Lei, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Shi Lei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you may ask me to come over and take notes, don't worry!"
Ling Yumo nodded, "Stone monster, if you have any trouble, remember to call me. I...I..." Ling Yumo hesitated for a while, but finally did not say anything.
Shi Lei was moved in his heart. Could it be that Ling Yumo's family had some kind of official relationship? Ling Yumo only said that her mother was the vice president of the First Municipal Hospital. Could it be that her father was an official?
"Okay, okay, Xiao Mo, don't worry about Brother Shitou, those gangsters don't dare to betray Brother Shitou!" Shi Lei turned around and walked towards Shuanghu Police Station, carrying Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang on his back, raising his right hand and waving.
goodbye!
Shuanghu police station, the serious crime team on the third floor, eight gangsters led by Zuo Earring were squatting in the corner.
Ouyang Xiang's face was pale, and Tao Jun was beside her, telling her what happened.
"Ouyang, don't worry. I also believe that the mastermind behind the scenes is not Shi Lei. Captain Chen must have made a mistake. There must be some misunderstanding between them!" Tao Jun persuaded.
Ouyang Xiang nodded, but in her heart, she vaguely felt that the mastermind behind the scenes was Shi Lei! Although there was no reason, she knew in her heart that the mastermind must be Shi Lei!
Shi Lei arrived at the Crime Unit on the third floor without any obstruction. When he saw Ouyang Xiang's pale face, his cynical smile stopped and turned into a serious expression.
"Ouyang, do you know?" Walking to Ouyang Xiang, Shi Lei hesitated for a moment and then asked.
Ouyang Xiang looked at Shi Lei expressionlessly, and said with a strange tone: "Shi Lei, are you the mastermind behind the scenes? Why do you want to deal with those Wosang people?"
Shi Lei chuckled and said, "Ouyang, don't you know the answer?"
Ouyang Xiang bit her lip, with moisture in her eyes, and said with aggrieved tone: "Why? Why? Just tell me!"
Her tone was nothing like a police interrogation, but rather like a question between lovers.
Shi Lei smiled bitterly, "They are not allowed to be tarnished in my heart. I have said before that a man has some things to do and some things he does not do. Those brats have dirty mouths and should be punished!"
Ouyang Xiang asked out of nowhere, "What about me?"
Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "If it were you, I would still do this!"
Tao Jun opened his mouth in surprise. He pointed at Shi Lei and said uncertainly: "Shi Lei, is it really you who is behind this?"
Shi Lei said with a smile: "Yes!"
"You...you..." Tao Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shi Lei chuckled and said, "Brother Tao, you won't catch me, right?"
Tao Jun looked at Shi Lei hesitantly, then at Ouyang Xiang. "Shi Lei, I didn't hear what you just said!"
At this moment, Chen Guangliang and Matsushita Kuyoko walked into the serious crime unit together.
"Hey, Captain Chen, why did you call me here?" Shi Lei took the initiative to say hello.
Chen Guangliang snorted, took out a file folder, threw it on the table, and said in a bad tone: "Shi Lei, take a look for yourself!"
Shi Lei ignored Chen Guangliang's bad tone, picked up the folder, and started reading.
This file folder is exactly the call records of his mobile phone number. Seeing these records, a sneer appeared in Shi Lei's eyes.
'What a pity, what a pity, the record that can really prove my guilt has been deleted by me!'
The most important records in the file are just the call records between Shi Lei and Matsushita Kuyoko. It's not that Shi Lei doesn't want to delete these records, but that they cannot be deleted.
The business negotiations between Shi Lei and the Canon delegation linked them together. If these call records were deleted, it would only be unnecessary and arouse police suspicion.
After spending two minutes reading all the records, Shi Lei threw the file folder on the table, "Captain Chen, what's wrong with these records? Do they prove that I had a call record with Ms. Kuyoko Matsushita? I have never denied it!"
"
Chen Guangliang yelled: "Shi Lei, don't be too arrogant! I know it's you!"
Shi Lei chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? So what if it's me? There's no evidence that it's me!"
"You!" Chen Guangliang looked at Shi Lei angrily.
"Whether it's a witness or a physical evidence, there is no chain of evidence pointing to me! Although it is speculated that I do have the biggest suspicion, but you ask the left earring, is it me?" Shi Lei said in a relaxed tone, without any suspicion of the police.
Awareness in the game.
Matsushita Kuyoko secretly sighed, I am afraid that through legal channels, there is nothing that can be done to Shi Lei!
Chen Guangliang slammed the table, "Shi Lei, I will definitely find the evidence! I don't believe that those little gangsters won't spit you out!"
Shi Lei sneered, "Captain Chen, no need to do useless work!" After saying that, Shi Lei turned to look at the left earring and said: "Left earring, tell me, did I instruct you to beat those brats?
?”
The left earring shook his head quickly and said with a flattering tone: "Brother Shitou, how could it be you!"
Shi Lei asked again: "Er Mao, was it my instigation?"
"No! No! Brother Shitou, it was the little fat guy who provoked us!" Er Mao also said in a flattering manner.
Shi Lei continued to ask: "Then tell me, was it my instigation?"
The remaining six gangsters collectively shook their heads in denial, "It was definitely not the instigation of Brother Shitou!"
Shi Lei had a bright smile on his face, "Captain Chen, did you hear that? They said it again, it was definitely not me who ordered them!"
