Chapter 7 Billion...or is it a dollar?
Chapter 7 One billion is still a beautiful thing?
"You are Feng'er~ I am Sha~ I can't go home because I am lingering~"
The next day, Wang Chen, who was still sleeping at home, was woken up by the sound of the phone ringing.
I grabbed my phone in a daze, and as soon as I connected it, I heard "Hello, sir, I am the customer service manager of XXX Bank. Could you please."
Wang Chen hung up before he finished speaking.
Damn it, this bank is out of business, right?
Maybe it was because I had to rush for results at the end of the year, but my mobile phone started to get restless in late October.
Every day, calls keep coming in to my mobile phone, asking if I want to invest.
This made Wang Chen really annoyed.
I just hung up the phone and was about to lie down for a while, but within a few minutes of closing my eyes, the phone rang again.
Grass!
The quintessence of Chinese culture blurted out, and Wang Chen sniffed hard and turned on the speakerphone and said angrily, "Stop f*cking calling me again, I don't invest! If you force me to change the f*cking bank again."
Huh? Mr. Ren on the other side of the phone was stunned for a few seconds. What's going on?
But soon, Mr. Ren also reported that he was probably being harassed by the bank.
"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm not from a bank."
"No need for insurance!"
"Uh, I'm Mr. Ren XX Wang from the flower factory. Are you still sleeping?"
Flower factory? Wang Chen, who hadn't even opened his eyes yet, was stunned for a moment and suddenly sat up from the bed.
I picked up the phone and took a look. Sure enough, it wasn't the kind of phone number that started with strange numbers.
Wang Chen touched his head in embarrassment and said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Ren? I'm sorry, I have been optimizing the software these two days and I slept a little late."
He lied without blushing, and while adding some clothes to himself, he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
"Then it seems I've disturbed you. How about Mr. Wang sleep a little longer?"
"No, no, I'm almost awake." Wang Chen, who had basically woken up after washing his face with cold water, said with a smile.
It’s a waste of sleep, I’ll call you later.
And there is no reason to make the funder wait. Who can sleep with hundreds of millions of dollars in business hanging on the line?
"Okay, let me ask you this, Mr. Wang was the one who sent me the email before, right?"
"Well, it's me. How is this thing? It's useful, right?"
"It's okay. We have tested it internally and the optimization effect is good. Since Mr. Wang wants to sell, let's talk about it?"
"Okay, let's talk, I have no problem."
Sitting on the sofa, he poured himself a glass of water. When Mr. Ren said this, Wang Chen also smiled and agreed.
On the other side, Mr. Ren, who was also sitting in the office, turned the pen in his hand, thought for a while and then said, "Mr. Wang, let me tell you directly. We are very optimistic about this software internally, and naturally we hope to buy it all."
Down, including the core code."
"No problem, but this thing is my hard work for several years and is hard-won, so I have to pay more."
Wang Chen also said simply.
What I originally wanted was to make quick money by selling codes.
Since Mr. Ren proposed it, there must be nothing wrong with it, but the price is just that.
"Okay, then Mr. Wang will tell you a price!" Seeing Wang Chen's eagerness to agree, Mr. Ren was not too surprised.
If the other party has operational ideas, they won't be sent directly to my mailbox.
Sure enough, I wanted to make a one-time deal.
"Didn't the email say it? One billion, US dollars. I will package all the core codes of this software for you." Wang Chen quoted a price with a smile.
One billion is still U.S. dollars? The mailbox didn’t indicate U.S. dollars.
Even though Mr. Ren was mentally prepared, the number he heard was still a bit shocking.
Good guy, you really dare to say it.
If you dare to ask for a billion dollars for a small software, why don't you go to heaven?
"Mr. Wang, your price is..."
"Don't think it's expensive. What I sell is not the software, but the logical framework inside the software. This thing can not only be used on existing mobile phones, but also can be used on all subsequent models. Unless you change the engine code
.
As a major mobile phone manufacturer, I think you should also know the value of this logic."
Seeing that Mr. Ren found it too expensive, Wang Chen said calmly.
It's definitely expensive, otherwise how would you make money, but the price is not outrageous.
Although it is not artificial intelligence, it is somewhat fake.
What this contains is a new set of optimization logic, which is enough to give the flower factory more confidence when facing Google.
"Mr. Wang, although your optimization logic is very unique, it is not impossible for our flower factory to study it. The price of one billion US dollars is really too high."
After listening to what Wang Chen said, Mr. Ren was silent for a few seconds and still shook his head.
"You can research it, but do you have enough time? Google is watching from the side. If you can't occupy more of the market before their new system comes out, I guess this stall will be overthrown."
Wang Chen spread his hands and said in a funny tone.
"And I am very confident in my own strength. You will definitely not be able to crack my encryption method within two years. And if I can't make money with you, then I can only go to Google.
This is not a threat. I need a start-up capital. I chose your flower factory because we are all Chinese, so I didn’t go to Google. But if you think it is too expensive, then I really have no choice.
Do you think Google would be willing to spend a billion dollars to buy this level of optimization?
Everyone is in this industry, and technology is the basis for development. You won’t lose money on this deal, so don’t think it’s expensive.”
For this price, Wang Chen swore that he had given it the friendly price.
As long as this level of optimization can be applied to Android, Google will have to beg to sell its technology to it.
And it’s a one-time deal, and it’s yours when you buy it, with no additional terms and conditions.
This is profitable no matter what.
Is this amount of money important compared to the market?
How many years has the flower factory been deployed on Hongmeng? How can it be a loss for only one billion in exchange for a greater chance of survival?
If Wang Chen wants to be arrogant, he can charge money based on the installed capacity. The authorization of a machine will charge you 50 yuan, so how much will it be based on the current installed capacity?
Moreover, licensing the technology without selling the technology is equivalent to adding another little daddy to the flower factory.
Therefore, with the new technology and fixed price, Wang Chen is the one who loses money.
If it wasn't for the rush to cash out, it wouldn't be so simple.
"This" Mr. Ren was said to be a little speechless.
Okay, I thought he was a dumbass, but I didn’t expect him to be quite understanding.
Indeed, if this optimization is given to Android, let alone one billion US dollars, I guess Google will have no problem adding another 500 million US dollars.
"Mr. Ren, there's no need to rush and agree now. You can think about it again, but don't wait too long. Just give it within three days. Anyway, at this price, you can make a profit if you buy it, and we can enjoy our retirement life in advance."
Wang Chen didn't expect Mr. Ren to agree now. After all, the one billion US dollars must be discussed internally.
"Okay, then I'll hold an internal meeting first. After all, the money is not a small amount."
"No way, it's not even a hair for your flower factory, so I'll wait at home for Mr. Ren's good news! Of course, if you really think it's expensive, then authorize it. How much does a machine cost?
, let’s just discuss it!”
