"Oh! I understand!" Xu Zhongbang said disappointedly: "Mr. Liu, please give me half an hour. I want to call the head office right away! This is really unbelievable!"
"Okay." I said without changing my expression.
Xu Zhongbang ran out and made a phone call. I didn’t want to know the content. Anyway, the thing was in my hands, which meant that I had the initiative. I had the final say on how much the thing was worth.
It was almost an hour before Xu Zhongbang arrived late. When he entered the room, I was boredly playing Lianliankan included in Suguang 95. It was also one of the most popular office desktop games later, and was also added to it.
Bejeweled, Bubble Bobble and other games.
After seeing it, Xu Zhongbang immediately exclaimed: "Who added this game? It's so good! It's much more playable than the tabletop games we included."
Haha, of course they are playable. If you see the computers of employees in enterprises and institutions in the future, you will know the value these games bring. And I just added them to my Dawn 95 in advance.
"I have contacted the head office, Mr. Liu, please give me a price!" Xu Zhongbang knew the value of the system very well. When he negotiated with the head office, the people there were as shocked as him, so he asked him to do it at all costs.
If you want to buy this operating system, you can cooperate if you can't, and you must not become a competitor. Bill, the president of MSoft headquarters, immediately booked a flight and will probably arrive at Songjiang International Airport tomorrow morning. Xu Zhongbang knows very well that he has a heavy responsibility. If
If things go wrong, you can’t bear the crime. So I won’t say any more useless words, and I’ll get straight to the point and start asking for prices.
"How much do you think it is worth?" I asked without answering his question.
"Ah?" Xu Zhongbang was stunned. He didn't expect me to ask this. He originally thought that I would offer the price I expected. Even if the lion opens his mouth, as long as he has the price, he is not afraid of being unable to get it done.
"Does Mr. Xu think this operating system is valuable?" I continued to put up smoke bombs.
"Price? What do you mean? Don't you want Mr. Liu to sell?" Xu Zhongbang became even more confused after hearing this.
"Yes! The operating system cannot be sold, but we can choose another way to cooperate!" I said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
When Xu Zhongbang heard that I said we could cooperate, his heart immediately dropped. If someone doesn't want to sell, we can't force him. He would settle for the next best thing. As long as he can cooperate, his task will be considered completed.
"I wonder how Mr. Liu plans to cooperate?" Xu Zhongbang asked.
"Mr. Xu may not be able to make the decision regarding my request..." I really couldn't bear to open my mouth to my old boss.
"Well, our president Bill is already on his way to China. If Mr. Liu has any special requirements, you can discuss it directly with him in detail."
"Okay. Call me when he arrives." I said. Then I took out more than 100 3.5-inch disks from my backpack and handed them to Xu Zhongbang. This is the installation disk of Sugon 95. You can show it to your president.
one time.
Xu Zhongbang quickly took it. He wanted to talk to me about this issue just now, but he also knew that this kind of thing was confidential until the cooperation was negotiated, so he never did.
I know Xu Zhongbang’s character very well, and I know that he will not do anything to steal other people’s achievements (it seems like I am doing it!). Besides, everything I write is encrypted, so I don’t believe them with the current technology.
Level can crack the source code.
(Writing an operating system by yourself is almost impossible in reality. Here, it is just a bit more idealized. This book is an urban science fiction novel. As long as everyone has fun reading it, don’t delve into the details.
.)
"Mr. Liu, this is our soft CEO, Mr. XX." Xu Zhongbang pointed at a blond man from China who looked very young.
"Hello, Mr. Bill." I said in proficient American English with a slightly Chinese accent. How could I not recognize the CEO of my previous life!
"Oh? Mr. Liu can speak English?" Bill asked strangely.
"You should be better at it!" I said with a smile. Nonsense, I had many interactions with him in my previous life, so how could I not speak English?
"Well, in that case, Mr. Liu, please put forward your conditions." Bill said.
"I will not sell the copyright of the operating system, but I can authorize it to MSoft Company for sales. At the same time, I can promise to allow MSoftware Company to participate in the development of the next version of the Sugon operating system." I will first tell what MSoftware can get.
The benefits are stated.
"Then what does Mr. Liu want in return?" Bill is not stupid, he knows that my current conditions are only for them, and I haven't put forward what I really need.
"50% of operating system revenue! This number cannot be changed." I don't like haggling with others.
"50%? That's too much!" Bill exclaimed.
"Is it much? If it weren't for China's current economic system, I could set up my own company and sell it myself. There is no need to share a piece of the pie with others." I said.
"But you don't have a graphical operating interface and a series of corresponding patents!" Bill said.
"So this is one of the reasons why I asked you to cooperate. But it is not the main reason, because the patent registered in country M is invalid in China!" I said slowly. At this time, China has not joined the WTO, and many things are not in line with the world.
, that is to say, in a sense, even if Chinese products imitate foreign products, they will not be able to win the lawsuit!
"Okay! I promise you, but you must disclose the source code to us!" Bill gritted his teeth and said. He didn't really care about making money. Money was just a number to him. In comparison, technology attracted him more.
Heartbeat.
"This is no problem, and I will keep my promise. The next version of the Sugon operating system will be jointly developed by us." I haven't slept well for more than a month while writing this system. I will be killed by this kind of thing in the future.
I quit. Although I know I have a lifespan of 180 years, it will be even more painful when the time comes to prematurely age and become paralyzed and unable to die. It’s better to pretend to be generous. From now on, I will only provide key technologies.
Let them do the rest.
Afterwards, we discussed and decided that MSoft would release Windows 95 in advance in December this year, and Dawn 95 decided to postpone the release until 1996, and change the version number to Dawn Window 97. At the same time, MSoft decided to give me 30% of the profits from Windows 95 as a reward.
Compensation for the delayed release. Windows 95 was also renamed Dawn Window 95.
The contract was signed and notarized. Anyway, it was almost eight o'clock when everything was done. Xu Zhongbang wanted to invite me to dinner, but I refused. My mother has started to get angry at me if I don't come home on time every day.
I became suspicious. Needless to say, my dad always asked me insinuatingly if I went to the game arcade again.
Haha, now I have gained 30% and 50%! A brand new richest man in the world is about to be born. I am happily humming a tune and strolling on the avenue. (To be continued)
