Chapter 040: Finally Got Money
40.
Finally got rich
"Oh! I understand!" Xu Zhongbang said disappointedly: "Mr. Liu, please give me half an hour. I will call the headquarters immediately! This is really incredible!"
"Okay." I said without changing my face.
Xu Zhongbang ran out and called, but I didn't want to know the content. Anyway, the thing is in my hands, which means that the initiative is in my hands, so I can decide how much this thing is worth.
It was almost an hour before Xu Zhongbang came late. When he entered the house, I was bored playing the Lianlian that came with Dawn 95. It was one of the very popular office tabletop games later. The ones added together were Gem Maze, Bubble Dragon and other games.
After watching 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 it’s hard to play. If you see the computers of employees of enterprises and institutions in the future, you will know the value brought by these games. And I just added them to my 95th Dawn in advance.
"I have contacted the head office. Mr. Liu, please offer a price!" Xu Zhongbang knew very well the value of the system. When he negotiated with the head office, the shock over there was no less than that of him. He asked him to buy this operating system at all costs. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to cooperate. Never become a competitor. Bill, president of the M Soft Headquarters, immediately booked the air ticket and would probably arrive at Songjiang International Airport tomorrow. Xu Zhongbang knew that his responsibility was heavy. If the matter was ruined, he would not be able to bear the charge. So I won't say much about other things without nutrition, and just started asking for the price straight to the point.
"How much do you think it's worth?" I asked back without answering his question.
"Ah?" Xu Zhongbang was stunned. He didn't expect me to ask this. He thought I would offer the price I expected. Even if the lion spoke loudly, as long as he had a price, he would not be afraid of not being able to handle it.
"Does Mr. Xu think this operating system is valuable?" I continued to fire smoke bombs.
"It's a price? What does it mean? Doesn't Mr. Liu want to sell it?" 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 an unquestionable tone.
When Xu Zhongbang heard me say I could cooperate, his original heart fell down immediately. If he didn't sell, he couldn't force it. He would take the next best choice. As long as he could cooperate, his task would be considered complete.
"I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. Liu plans to cooperate?" Xu Zhongbang asked.
"My request, Mr. Xu, may not be able to make the decision..." I really couldn't bear to open my bloody mouth to my old boss.
"Let's do this, our president Bill is already on the way to China. If Mr. Liu has any special requests, he can directly discuss it with him."
"Okay. When he arrives, he calls me." 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 Shuguang 95. You can show it to your president.
Xu Zhongbang hurriedly took it over. He wanted to talk to me about this issue just now, but he also knew that this kind of thing was kept confidential before the cooperation was negotiated, so he never could speak.
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 I'm doing it!). Besides, the things I write are encrypted, so I don't believe that they can crack the source code with their current technical level.
(It is almost impossible to write an operating system by yourself in reality. Here, it is just a bit more ideal. This book is a science fiction novel that is superficial. Just read it happily, so don’t dig into the details.)
"Mr. Liu, this is Mr. XX, the president of our M Soft." Xu Zhongbang said, pointing to a blond-looking young-looking M man.
"Hello, Mr. Bill." I said in skillful American English with a slightly M Guoer sound. How could I not know the president in my previous life!
"Oh? Mr. Liu can speak English?" Bill asked strangely.
"Can you know more!" I smiled and said nonsense. I had communicated with him a lot in my previous life, so how could I not speak English?
"Okay, since that's the case, Mr. Liu, please put forward your conditions." Bill said.
"I won't sell the copyright of the operating system, but I can authorize it to M Soft for sale. At the same time, I can promise to allow M Soft to participate in the development of the next version of the Sunshine operating system." I first mentioned the benefits that M Soft can get.
"What is the reward Mr. Liu wants?" Bill was not stupid either. He knew that my current conditions were only for them, and I had not raised what I really needed.
"50% of the operating system's revenue! This number cannot be changed." I don't like to bargain with others.
"50%? Too much!" Bill exclaimed.
"Is it too much? If it weren't for China's current economic system, I could have set up a company and sold it myself, and there was no need to get a share 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, China has not joined the WTO, and many things are incompatible with the world. In other words, in a sense, even if China's products imitate foreign products, they will not win the lawsuit!
"Okay! I promise you, but you must disclose the source code to us!" Bill said gritting his teeth. He was not very concerned about making money. Money is just a number to him, and in comparison, technology is more attractive to him.
"This is fine, and I will also abide by my promise. The next version of the Dawn operating system will be jointly developed by us." I have not slept well for more than a month after writing this system, and I will not do this anymore. Although I know that I have a 180-year-old life, it is even more painful to die before I get old and have a hemiplegia. It would be better to pretend to be generous. I will only provide key technologies in the future and let them complete the rest.
Later we discussed and decided that M Soft released Windows 95 in December this year, and Shuguang 95 decided to postpone the release until 1996, and changed the version number to Shuguang Window 97. At the same time, M Soft decided to take out 30% of the profit of Windows 95 to give me compensation for postponed release. Windows 95 was also renamed Shuguang Window 95.
After signing the contract and making notarization, it was almost eight o'clock after all the work was done. Xu Zhongbang wanted to treat me to a meal, but I refused. After not going home on time every day, my mother has already started to suspicion of me. Needless to say, my father always asked me indirectly if I had gone to the game hall again.
Haha, I'm so excited now. 30% and 50%! A brand new world richest man is about to be born. I happily hummed a small song and strolled on the avenue. (To be continued)
