Hk068 Negotiations Suspended
In the box of the Cuihu Hotel, technical expert Bill faintly felt that his voice was wrong. He looked up and saw that Shi Lei was actually asking him. Bill was not a fool, and he immediately knew that he had exposed the needs of the company.
Captain George Black smiled boldly and said, "Mr. Shi, you are so smart!"
Shi Lei scratched his head and pretended to be gullible: "Really? I just asked casually!"
If you really ask casually, how can you use misleading language like 'our company'?
"Captain Black, the smile detection program is helpful to your Kodak company, I'm relieved!" Shi Lei made his attitude clear, "I'm from Xia, and I hate Wosang's camera companies very much!"[
George's eyes lit up slightly, it's not surprising that Xia Guo and Wo Sang Guo hate each other!
"Mr. Shi, our Kodak company also takes the Wosanguo camera company as our opponent. If your smile detection program can be sold to Kodak, then we will definitely launch a new round of impact on the Wosanguo camera company! No! Do you know, does Mr. Shi agree to sell the ownership of the smile detection program to Kodak?"
Shi Lei nodded without hesitation, "I'm willing to sell it to you! But, how much do you pay?" At this moment, Shi Lei behaved like an idiot, only talking about money, not about software patent licensing, nor about software patents Cooperation.
George was even more delighted, and Kodak was afraid that Shi Lei would threaten Shi Lei with his patent rights!
Shi Lei wants money, that's easy!
"Mr. Shi, how much do you plan to sell?" Captain George quickly asked.
Shi Lei smiled, pointed at Mu Shuang and said, "Mr. Black, you can ask Ms. Mu Shuang about the price. She is our plenipotentiary representative."
Mu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Shi Lei would be quick to speak out her bottom line. Hearing Shi Lei introduce himself again, Mu Shuang also said in English, "Mr. Blake, hello, I'm Mu Shuang!"
Captain George secretly regretted that he did not ask Shi Lei for the price. After adjusting his mentality, he politely said to Mu Shuang, "Ms. Mu, hello!"
In the box, Shi Lei was holding a Nokia mobile phone and was playing Snake with Ling Yumo, and they had a lot of fun. Technologist Bill, and assistant David, are still testing the smile detection program.
Mu Shuang and George Black and Mike are negotiating tensely.
"Mr. Black, I think you should understand the effect of the smile detection program! We can sell the ownership to you all at once without any profit stratification." Mu Shuang said confidently.
George Black's face was a little ugly. From Mu Shuang's appearance, he thought that Mu Shuang was just a rookie, but Mu Shuang's rich experience in business negotiation made George Black faintly startled.
"Ms. Mu, we understand the effect of smile detection, and we are also very excited about you selling the ownership of the smile software to us. However, the asking price of 10 million US dollars is too high!"
Ten million dollars! ! !
Shi Lei's body trembled slightly. Even though he was a top-level hacker in the world in his previous life, Shi Lei never had so much wealth. The profession of hacking belongs to the boring profession, which can make waves in the online world. But in the real world, generally speaking, it is still an ordinary person. Although you can use hacking technology to make a small fortune, if you use hacking technology to make huge profits, you will usually be wanted by state power, which is definitely not fun!
'Mu Shuang, this girl, really dare to speak! Brother originally only planned to ask for half a million dollars, but she actually turned it over twenty times! Sure enough, that's what professionals are for! ’
Mu Shuang smiled calmly and said: "10 million US dollars, it is not expensive to develop a brand-new technology! Moreover, this technology is fully mature and can be immediately applied to your Kodak cameras. Through this technology, How much will your Kodak camera sales increase?"
George Black was silent, Mu Shuang was right, if they had the smile detection technology, their Kodak camera sales would definitely increase a lot! [
But, ten million dollars, more than Kodak's bottom line!
The two sides fought a tug-of-war, negotiating from $10 million to $6 million, and are still negotiating intensely. Shi Lei thoughtlessly handed it over to Mu Shuang, and he played with Ling Yumo on his mobile phone very hppy!
Technical expert Bill suddenly asked Shi Lei: "Mr. Shi, does the smile detection program have high hardware requirements?"
A digital camera is different from a personal computer, and the camera lens is also different from a video camera. Although smile detection is performed on a PC, using a video camera, very good results are obtained. But how much effect can a system actually transplanted into a Kodak digital camera have?
The size of the smile detection program is only more than 300 kb, and the requirements for the processor and other hardware are very low. Because, the software itself is the application system inside the digital camera!
"Don't worry, Bill. I checked the hardware of your Kodak camera and it works perfectly fine for the smile detection program!"
Hearing Shi Lei's answer, Bill felt a little relieved and continued to test the smile detection program.
After eight o'clock in the evening, George's phone suddenly vibrated, and he apologized to Mu Shuang: "Ms. Mu, please forgive me, I will answer a call first."
George took the phone, quickly walked out of the private room, and answered the phone outside.
"Hello, this is Kodak, Executive Director of George Black." George answered the phone and told himself.
The call came from Kodak's head office in Lijianguo, "George, suspend negotiations with the author of the smile detection program. We just received news that Sony has applied for a patent for the smile detection program. And the patent is about to be approved!"
George's face changed greatly, "What? Chairman, did Xia Guo, the author of the smile detection program, steal the results of Sony?"
The chairman of Kodak did not make an arbitrary conclusion, "The specific situation is not clear for the time being. You stop negotiating with the other party first. However, you stay in the Xia country and maintain contact with the other party. Our intelligence department is investigating. Details."
"Understood, Chairman!" There was a hint of Sinai in George Black's tone.
After hanging up the phone, Captain George returned to the box, and when he negotiated with Mu Shuang again, he immediately became tougher.
"Ms. Mu, we cannot accept such conditions. It is very late today, and our negotiation is suspended. Let's continue at the next appointment!"
Mu Shuang looked at George strangely, not understanding his attitude, why he suddenly became so tough after answering the phone.
While Shi Lei was playing with his mobile phone, he was actually paying attention to the negotiations. When he saw George answering the phone with a tough attitude, he vaguely guessed the reason. It should be a patent applied by Sony, which is about to be approved, right?
Mu Shuang looked at Shi Lei, and Shi Lei said, "Captain George, since that's the case, we won't bother!"
The technical expert Bill said: "Mr. Shi, can you keep the smile detection program, I want to continue research!"
To be honest, his condition is very polite!
Because no one knows, the smile detection program is left to them, whether they will decompile, or reverse research! However, Shi Lei didn't care at all. The smile detection program has been encrypted by the behavioral motion capture program, and it is not easy to crack it! [
"Bill, if you want to study it, study it! However, this version of the smiling face detection program is only a beta version. After three days, it will be automatically deleted. Also, a friendly reminder, don't try to decompile it. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences. Yo!"
After finishing speaking, Shi Lei took Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang and left without any delay.
When the three of Shi Lei left, Bill asked, "George, what happened just now?"
"Bill, the chairman of the company just called and said that Sony has applied for a patent for smile detection, and it is about to pass!" George Black said with a displeased expression.
George's assistant, Mike frowned, "Boss, are you saying that the man from Xia stole the results of Sony, and then he was going to deceive us?"
Bill snorted, "Sony? Their smile detection? It's just shit!"
George puzzled: "Bill, do you know Sony's smile detection program?"
"Of course I do! I used to be a college classmate who is now a senior researcher in the digital camera business at Sony. We were still emailing last week. Sony's smile-detection program is just a bunch of shit. !" Bill belittles Sony's smile detection program.
However, Bill was right! Shi Lei's smile detection program was a smile detection program in 2012. At that time, the smile detection program has been updated several times, with faster capture, more accurate recognition, and clearer imaging!
George hurriedly asked Bill for details, and then reported to the senior leaders of Kodak.
Shi Lei and the three took a taxi and returned to Shuangqing University. After walking into the school gate, Mu Shuang couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Shi Lei, you really wrote that smiley face detection program? The representative of Kodak, why is there such a big difference in attitude?"
"Mu Shuang, the smile detection program is indeed written by me. However, it is not unique! I own the patent rights of Xia Guo, and Sony owns the global patent rights except Xia Guo. Kodak's The change in attitude should be due to the fact that they know the patent rights of Lijianguo, which is in the hands of Sony! However, the smile detection program in my hand is much more advanced than that of Sony, and Kodak should know how to choose!" Shi Lei explained road.
Mu Shuang thought for a while and asked again: "Shi Lei, what else did you tell me? Tell me all at once! This has a great impact on the negotiation! No wonder, your bottom line is only half a million dollars, You are not stupid!"
Shi Lei smiled, "Don't worry, even if Kodak doesn't want it, there are others who want it!"
