"Oh! I understand!" Xu Zhongbang said disappointedly: "Mr. Liu, please give me half an hour, I want to call the head office immediately! This is really unbelievable!"
"Okay." I said without changing my expression.
Xu Zhongbang ran out to make a phone call, and I didn't want to know the content. Anyway, the thing is in my hands, which means that the initiative is in my hands. I can decide how much the thing is worth.
It was almost an hour before Xu Zhongbang came late. When he entered the room, I was bored playing Lianliankan included in Shuguang 95. It was one of the very popular office desktop games later, along with Bejeweled, Bubble Bobble and other games.
Xu Zhongbang exclaimed immediately after reading it: "Who added this game? It's so good! It's much more playable than the few board games we attached."
Hehe, of course it is durable to play. If you see the computers of those employees of enterprises and institutions in the future, you will know the value of these games. And I just added them to my Dawn 95 in advance.
"I have contacted the head office, Mr. Liu, please make a price!" Xu Zhongbang is very clear about the value of the system. If you want to buy this operating system, you can cooperate if you can't do it, and you must not become a competitor. Bill, the president of M Soft Headquarters, immediately booked a flight ticket, probably arriving at Songjiang International Airport tomorrow morning. Xu Zhongbang knew very well that he had a great responsibility. If things went wrong, he would not be able to bear the crime. So I won’t say much about other words that are not nutritious, and I will start asking for prices straight to the point.
"How much do you think it is worth?" I asked instead without answering his question.
"Ah?" Xu Zhongbang was taken aback, he didn't expect me to ask such a question. He originally thought that I would offer the price I expected, even if the lion opened his mouth, as long as there is a price, he is not afraid of being in trouble.
"Does Mr. Xu think this operating system is valuable?" I continued to smoke bombs.
"There is a price? What do you mean? Doesn't Mr. Liu want to sell it?" Xu Zhongbang was even more puzzled after hearing this.
"Yes! The operating system can't be sold, but we can choose another way to cooperate!" I said in an unquestionable tone.
As soon as Xu Zhongbang heard that I could cooperate, his original whirling heart immediately fell down again. People don't sell it, and they can't force it. The next best thing is that as long as you can cooperate, your task can be considered completed.
"I don't know what cooperation method Mr. Liu plans to cooperate with?" Xu Zhongbang asked.
"Mr. Xu may not be able to make 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 Huaxia. If Mr. Liu has any special requirements, you can talk to him directly."
"Okay. Call me when he gets here," I said. Then he took out more than 100 3.5-inch disks from his backpack and handed them to Xu Zhongbang. This is the installation disk of Dawn 95. You can show it to your president.
Xu Zhongbang quickly picked it up. He wanted to talk to me about this issue just now, but he also knew that this kind of thing was kept secret until the cooperation was negotiated, so he never opened his mouth.
I know Xu Zhongbang's character very well, and I know that he will not do things that steal other people's achievements (it seems that I am doing it!), and besides, everything I write is encrypted, so I don't believe that they can use the current technology. The level can crack the source code.
"Mr. Liu, this is Mr. XX, the president of our M soft." Xu Zhongbang pointed to a blond-haired young man from M country.
"Hello, Mr. Bill." I said in my proficient American English with a slightly M accent. How could I not know the president of my previous life!
"Oh? Mr. Liu can speak English?" Bill asked strangely.
"Let's have some!" I smiled. Nonsense, I had a lot of communication with him in my previous life, so how could it be possible that I can't speak English.
"Well, if this is the case, Mr. Liu, please put forward your conditions." Bill said.
"I will not sell the copyright of the operating system, but I can authorize Msoft to sell it. At the same time, I can promise to allow Msoft to participate in the development of the next version of the Sugon operating system." The benefits have been said.
"Then what does Mr. Liu want in return?" Bill is not stupid, knowing that my current conditions are only for them, and I haven't put forward what I really need.
"50% of operating system revenue! There's no way this number will change." I don't like haggling with people.
"50%? Too much!" Bill exclaimed.
"Is there a lot? 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 another piece of the pie with others." I said.
"But you don't have a series of corresponding patents such as graphical operation interface!" 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, Huaxia has not joined the WTO, and many things are not in line with the world. That is to say, in a sense, even if Huaxia's products imitate foreign products, they cannot win the lawsuit!
"Okay! I promise you, but you must disclose the source code to us!" Bill gritted his teeth. He didn't really care about making money. To him, money was just a number. Compared with technology, he was more attracted to technology.
"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 had a good night's sleep writing this system for more than a month. quit. Although I know that I have a life expectancy of 180 years, it will be even more painful if the whole body becomes paralyzed when I am prematurely aging. It's better to pretend to be generous. From now on, I will only provide key technologies, and let them complete the rest.
Afterwards, we discussed and decided that Msoft would release Windows 95 ahead of schedule in December this year, and Suguang 95 decided to postpone the release until 1996, changing the version number to Suguang Windows 97. At the same time, Msoft decided to give me 30% of the profits from Windows 95 as compensation for the delayed release. Windows 95 was also renamed Suguang Windows 95.
After signing the contract and notarizing it, it was almost eight o'clock after everything was done. Xu Zhongbang wanted to invite me to dinner, but I refused. For a while, I didn't go home on time every day, and my mother had already started to be suspicious of me. Needless to say, my dad always asks me if I go to the game hall again.
Haha, I'm getting bigger now. 30% and 50%! A brand new richest man in the world is about to be born. I happily hummed a ditty and strolled on the avenue.
