Hk070 Two Companies Arrive!
The calm days passed in a flash. On October 19, the Patriot Company arrived at the Cuihu Hotel in Shuanghu District and invited Shi Lei to make preliminary contacts.
Shi Lei did not agree immediately, but responded to the Patriot Company and discussed it again on October 20. Because, Mu Shuang has a professional class today, she will not skip class!
Two days ago, the Lycra company sent a reply letter, clearly stating that they would send business negotiators to come to Shuangqing City to contact Shi Lei. However, the interest shown by the Lycra company is not very high!
Rigorous Chinese people pay great attention to the issue of patent rights. Shi Lei's patent right for smile detection is not in Shi Lei's hands, and Lycra is lacking in interest.
The next day, at 8:30 in the morning, Shi Lei had just woken up. After washing up, he called. Looking at the unfamiliar number, Shi Lei didn't hesitate and pressed the answer button directly. [
In the handset of the mobile phone, a serious and serious English came over. "Hello, is this Mr. Shi?"
Shi Lei held the phone in his left hand and responded in English, "This is Shi Lei, may I ask you?"
"Hello, Mr. Shi, I'm the representative of Lycra, Ludwig William Erhard, you can call me Ludwig, or William." Ludwig introduced himself. "We have arrived at Shuanghu District, Cuihu Hotel. Mr. Shi, when can you come over? Let's talk about cooperation on smile detection."
Shi Lei listened to the long list of names, and secretly slandered in his heart, the names of foreigners are really long and difficult to remember!
"Mr. William, you can do it today!" Shi Lei knew that the people of the Will People's style of doing things were definitely action-oriented. If they were like the Patriot Company, it was impossible for the representatives of the Lycra Company to leave directly.
William responded on the phone: "Mr. Shi, we will meet at the Green Lake Hotel at ten o'clock in the morning to discuss the smile detection procedure?"
Shi Lei thought about it and agreed. Mu Shuang has no professional classes today, so he can skip classes to help Shi Lei negotiate.
Hanging up the phone, Shi Lei immediately walked to the 502 dormitory and knocked on the door.
"Little Mo, Mu Shuang, open the door quickly!"
"No!" Ling Yumo's voice came out, "Stone monster, we are still wearing pajamas, you big pervert, don't even think about coming in!"
Shi Lei smirked and said: "If you don't open it, don't open it! Hurry up and change your clothes, let's go out for breakfast, and then go to the Green Lake Hotel to negotiate!"
At 9:50 in the morning, Shi Lei arrived at the Cuihu Hotel with two beauties and met with representatives of Lycra in the lobby. There were only two people from Leica. One of them was Ludwig William Erhard, who called Shi Lei. the deputy minister.
William rented a small conference room at the Green Lake Hotel, rather than choosing to discuss business at the dinner table, as Kodak did. It can be seen from this point that the state of will and the state of lijian are different.
In the small conference room, after the two sides introduced each other, William went straight to the topic and said, "Mr. Shi, did you bring the smile detection program?"
This time, Shi Lei brought his own laptop and a high-definition camera. He took out the notebook, activated it, and handed it to Conrad. This guy is the expert at validating smile detection procedures, not William, who goes by the name of Deputy Minister.
Conrad can operate it directly on the notebook, without Shi Lei's prompting at all. He first used himself as a model and took a few pictures with a high-definition camera.
Then I shot William, as well as the small conference room, various interior scenes. When Conrad was testing the experiment, William and Shi Lei chatted about the humanities of the Will Kingdom.
Seeing Shi Lei's familiar chat with William, from the annual Oktoberfest in Munich, to the Bremen Carnival, and the various customs of the Will Country, one can't help but have an illusion that Shi Lei lives in the Will Country. Pass?
William was very happy that Shi Lei was familiar with the Kingdom of Will, and the two sides had a very pleasant chat. [
"Shi Lei, this year's Oktoberfest, you are welcome to our Will Country!" After a pleasant conversation, William and Shi Lei have become friends, and their names have changed.
Shi Lei smiled and said: "Okay! William, this year's Oktoberfest, I must become the wine king!"
William looked at Shi Lei in surprise, "My friend, are you good at drinking?"
Shi Lei boasted loudly: "As for the amount of alcohol, I'm not bragging, I've never been drunk after drinking beer!" It's not that Shi Lei was talking nonsense, but that Shi Lei never drank beer very much, and generally only drank coconut milk!
"Wow!" William looked at Shi Lei with admiration, "Shi Lei, this year's Oktoberfest, I must invite you to participate. Our Lycra company is one of the sponsors of the Oktoberfest, and I will ask the organizing committee to send you a message. Invitation card!"
Shi Lei's expression didn't change, and he continued to brag: "No problem! It's just a mere wine king, I won it easily!"
The two sides chatted for nearly an hour, and Conrad, the technical engineer, finished the test and returned the laptop to Shi Lei.
"Mr. Conrad, how does the smile detection program work?" Shi Lei asked with a smile.
Conrad said with a serious face: "Excellent! We, Leica, need such excellent digital camera software!"
Willing people to do things rigorously, seek truth from facts, need smile detection is a need, they will not pretend to be disguised, obviously need but say they don't need it.
William put away his smile, "Shi Lei, although we are friends, but it is related to the company's interests, I will be official!"
Shi Lei nodded and said, "That's the best! William, please talk to Ms. Mu Shuang! She is our full authority."
Mu Shuang said with a serious face: "Mr. Ludwig, hello!"
William responded, "Ms. Mu, hello. How much are you going to ask for the smile detection program?"
"Two million dollars!" Mu Shuang raised two pale fingers, her thin lips slightly parted, and said a number.
"Impossible!" William immediately shook his head and refused, "Although this smile detection software is very good, the patent rights of our will country are in the hands of Sony, even if you sell us the source code of the software, we will be found by Sony. Trouble! It's just the source code, it's not worth two million! We can give $300,000, which is equivalent to 2.4 million in Xia Guo's currency!"
Mu Shuang said softly, "Mr. Ludwig, are you kidding me? It's a little funny to buy a software that can revolutionize the digital camera industry for a mere $300,000!"
Leica's internal evaluation department has internally evaluated the value of smile detection software. Although Sony has patent rights, Shi Lei's software is more advanced, so Leica can slowly entangle with Sony, and even apply for a new patent after innovating again. Therefore, they are still a little bit interested in smile detection, have a little idea, not completely disinterested.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars!" William raised the price nervously, "How good is the smile detection program, but its patent rights are always in the hands of Sony!"
Mu Shuang didn't give in, "Mr. Ludwig, let me correct a wrong statement. The patent right of the smile detection program is not entirely in Sony's hands. At least, Xia Guo's software patent rights are in our hands! The development situation of Xiaguo is getting better and better, the consumption power of various high-end luxury goods is gradually increasing, and the sales data of Leica cameras in Xiaguo is gradually increasing, I think your Leica company will not have no statistics, right?"
William took the opportunity to answer: "Ms. Mu, do you bundle the smile detection program and Xia Guo's patent rights together? If so, our Lycra company will increase the price!"
Mu Shuang shook his head and said, "We will keep the patent right!"[
"Miss Mu, if you only sell the source code of the software, we can only buy it at most for $350,000!" William said slightly disappointed. Xia Guo's market, as Mu Shuang said, is increasing very rapidly. If you have Xia Guo's patent, it will be extremely beneficial to Lycra's sales in Xia Guo!
Mu Shuang pulled the long hair around her ear behind her ear, "We can authorize Leica for free to sell cameras equipped with smile detection programs in Xiaguo without paying the patent fee!"
William thought for a while, then raised the price again, "If so, we can pay 375,000 US dollars, equivalent to 3 million yuan in Xia Guo's currency, to buy the source code of the smile detection program, and free license!"
"Mr. Ludwig, your price is too low to meet the value of smile detection. The source code plus the free license, a total of one million dollars!" Mu Shuang said in a cold tone.
William was about to bargain when Mu Shuang stood up and interrupted: "Mr. Ludwig, the negotiation is temporarily suspended. We also met with Kodak in Lijianguo and Patriot, a local camera company in Xiaguo. I hope We have a chance to work together!"
Shi Lei also stood up and said with a look of regret: "William, think about it carefully, one million is really not expensive!"
William nodded solemnly, "I will report to the company and persuade the company's top management!"
He sent the three of Shi Lei out of the conference room. Shi Lei's phone just rang. After pressing the answer button, a hearty Xia Guoyu came from the microphone.
"Hello? Brother Shi Lei? I'm the old Zhong of the Patriots! Are you free today? Let's meet at the Cuihu Hotel and have a light meal?" Old Zhong's full name is Zhong Muyuan, the executive vice president of the Patriot Company. The manager, who is also one of the shareholders, holds 17% of Patriot's shares.
Yesterday, he called Shi Lei, but after having a closed door, he didn't have the slightest emotion. From this, it can be seen that this person is either a cheerful personality, or knows how to forbear, or both!
Shi Lei glanced at William, and said with a half-smile, "Brother Zhong, I have arrived at the Green Lake Hotel, where are you?"
Zhong Muyuan's voice was full of surprises, and said happily, "Brother Shi Lei, have you arrived at the Cuihu Hotel? I'll come out to meet you! Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
