"I just don't think it's right, I don't know if you don't say it. Walker thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to inform those two guys right now and ask them to speed up the process and revise it again." This matter has to be grasped, the opportunity is fleeting, who knows which son of a bitch will take the lead. ”
Dr. Yu smiled awkwardly, "What you said is good, but don't be in such a hurry. I brought back a good thing from Huaxia this time, and I want to show it to you. ”
"Yu, didn't you make a big enough fuss last time? I advise you to give up your unrealistic dreams, chips are not so fun, although we are friends, but unfortunately, as a businessman, I will not invest in that bottomless pit. Walker said helplessly.
"It's not about chips. Dr. Yu took out a floppy disk from his bag and turned to the computer, "Aren't you very optimistic about spreadsheet software? Coincidentally, I found something similar in Huaxia, which is also used on the Apple II. Try it and you'll know that my words above are not nonsense. ”
Walker didn't move, looked at Dr. Yu very strangely, and suddenly laughed: "Haha, you guy, I know how you can be so kind to give useful advice, it turns out that you have selfish intentions." ”
Dr. Yu didn't deny it, just smiled and stood up and made a gesture of please.
"Okay, I'll give it a try and see if your stuff has the good things you said. Walker sat back down in front of the computer, "What do you do with this?"
"It's very simple, the name of the software is videoform, you type in the name and it will be launched. Dr. Yu gave instructions from the side.
"Yes, it started. Walker did as Dr. Yu said, and a few lines of software instructions popped up on the screen, "Well, I'll see, press c to create a new file, press tab to transfer commands, and enter help to bring up the command list, format, options, ...... It's really good, you don't talk, I'll do it myself. ”
Walker operated as if he had discovered a new continent, using one command after another, and successfully created a report.
"It's amazing, I've never felt this way, I can actually use a computer myself. Walker excitedly shouted to Dr. Yu.
Dr. Yu smiled and nodded, this is inevitable. The software written by Cao Changchang is extremely helpful, and even a computer layman can use it step by step according to the command prompts.
"Yu, I have a feeling that your videoform is relatively fast, and the results come out quickly after entering the data, what's going on?" Walker asked.
"The programmer who wrote this software is the top in China, he is a national level, and he has also designed giant computers. "He's a perfectionist and won't allow even a tiny flaw, and it was with him that I first heard about the concept of software ease of use." ”
"It's perfect!" Walker sighed, "The East is really mysterious, and there is such an advanced concept, I have to write it down." Didn't that Steve Jobs of Apple also found Apple after returning from an ascetic trip to the East?"
"Not perfect. Dr. Yu wanted to shake this foreigner again.
"Well, what do you say?" Walker asked in surprise, "is there anything better?"
"I've said that my programmer is looking for perfection, and he wrote Videoform as a single-function program that does spreadsheet calculations. And his idea goes one step further, and he plans to make the data generated in the table automatically draw graphs and graphs on the computer, and can also use slide shows to show them, and finally all the office work will be automatically realized on the computer. Dr. Yu said slowly, admiring Walker's shocked expression, "And all the functions can be quickly mastered by ordinary people, and he even specially wrote a training program to help ordinary people quickly master the usage." ”
"My God, what a genius your men are, has he made it happen?"
"Not a subordinate, he's my partner. Videoform is his first work, and the rest will be coming out soon, how do you feel?" Dr. Yu asked, "Do you have an idea for an agent?"
"Of course!" Walker laughed, "and if you sold me this better, I'd pay a good price." ”
"I can only sell as an agent, and the software still belongs to me and him. Dr. Yu insisted for a moment, and forced the idea of selling the software for a profit, "You can only divide it, and now this program can be sold as long as it is packaged, what do you see?"
"So be it. Walker gritted his teeth, "I'll sell, according to the rules, we will share half of the profit!"
"No, this one is unique, I get too little, I'll give you nine. ”
"No way, you must know that I still have Visicalc in my hand, and the function is no worse than yours, I have to account for at least sixty percent. ”
"Do you say that garbage?" Dr. Yu laughed, "I don't know when it will be done, but mine is ready-made, and it can be exchanged for dollars as soon as you copy it." June Fourth, at the very least, you know that I still have to leave a copy for the author, are you not satisfied with the exclusive 40%? You must know that the investor is not your alone, we are friends to let you make a fortune together. ”
“...... Damn, are all Orientals so good at business?" Walker was about to go berserk, and reason told him that the business was a good deal, "Deal! Let's sign the contract." ”
"God bless you!" Dr. Yu was very happy that he had finally made his first business, although he didn't know how it was selling, but it was finally opened, "You will definitely make a fortune." ”
"I hope, who knows?" Walker muttered, "Well, I'll have the first priority to buy this software." I also have an exclusive distribution right, and you can't give it to anyone else. ”
"As you wish!"
In this way, the first contract after Dr. Yu and Cao's long-term partnership was signed under the circumstance of deception, and both parties were complacent, as if they had taken advantage of each other.
However, I never expected that the Videoform software would have such an impact that both sides regretted that the conditions for each other were too generous.
That's a story for another time, and the number one issue at the moment is to discuss the price. In the end, it was still not as black as the businessman's heart, and Dr. Yu hesitantly offered to sell a copy for $25, which seemed to him to be a bit much.
Walker scoffed at this, and with a wave of his pen, he added a zero to the back, much to Dr. Yu's surprise.
"Won't it be expensive?" Dr. Yu was a little worried, "What if I can't sell it?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Walker poured another glass of wine and handed it to Dr. Yu, "Sell it, how to sell it is my business, you just need to improve the software with peace of mind, just sit at home and wait for the money." Here, toast to the success of the partnership. ”
