Chapter 102: Privileged Moment
Not to mention the future dilemma, first of all, Roy has to pass the level of Noah first, none of the cattle are fools, if he can't impress the other party, then the chances of winning against PayPal in the future will be very small.
Roy naturally understands the seriousness of this matter, so the invitation to the other party is not a whim, but a series of elaborate routines, and the invisible net has been quietly sprinkled the moment Noah comes in.
Since ancient times, the true feelings cannot be retained, and only routines can win the hearts of the people.
In life, when we make friends, we often ask for business cards, scan WeChat, and on some occasions, some people will open WeChat and proudly show others "You see who I have on WeChat, and I have anyone's contact information".
Roy is the same now, he already knows Noah, which is equivalent to having Noah's WeChat. However, a discerning person doesn't know at a glance that it doesn't matter if he has Noah's WeChat, Noah will take the initiative to send him WeChat to prove the value of the relationship between the two.
Obviously, Roy's current social leverage can't pry the other party, and with Noah's contact information, he can only fool ordinary people by showing off.
If Roy says to Noah now, "Hey man, let's work together to change the world."
Noah should be surprised: Am I familiar with you?
Maybe Noah will also say: What do you use to cooperate with me?
In this case, Roy may be immediately dumbfounded: there is a lack of interests for the time being, and there are many dreams, why don't you wholesale ten catties first?
But Archimedes said, "Give me a fulcrum, and I will move the earth." ”
This means that if you want to use a lever to achieve "four or two thousand pounds", it means that your arm must be very, very long.
Similarly, in social interactions, it is not important to come into contact with a bull person, because your personal importance, status, and identity cannot change much overnight, and whether you can influence the person you come into contact with depends on your moment.
Roy recalls the second time he met Debra, and Debra was immediately moved when he offered a job to give Debra hope, and it was at that moment that he was given a "privileged moment" in which he could even make demanding demands. For example, go directly to the bed and take a blood.
This "super long arm" that exceeded Debra's expectations leveraged the relationship between the two, and gave Roy a "privileged moment".
Debra may feel worthless or regret it afterwards, but in that "privileged moment", she thought about a short circuit.
Now, what Roy has to do is to create a super long power arm, pull his relationship with Noah, and fight for a privileged moment of 3-5 seconds, and knock out the opponent when the opponent is unable to think.
……
Noah himself was very surprised, he didn't expect that he hadn't taken the initiative to contact Roy, and the other party actually contacted him first.
He has privately discussed the idea of QR codes with several top engineers, and the engineers have agreed with the idea, but there is one thing, and that is the competitive disadvantage of the engineering cycle. That is to say, it may take at least a month from the project to the actual completion, and it may be officially put into the market after completion, and it may take many product iterations to overcome product defects and reach the standard of large-scale promotion.
This series of R&D, iteration, and promotion ...... Conservative estimates, and the results can only be seen after half a year.
For such a long period of time, it is undoubtedly stupid to make a product that Noah himself is not very familiar with, and compete with a mature project, even in half a year, maybe three months, the competitor has already gained an advantage in the market, and has grown rapidly with a snowball scale.
So, if Noah also does a QR code project, then his only winning point is to develop a breakthrough technology that solves a problem that is difficult for competitors to overcome.
Obviously, Noah couldn't do that.
This also means that it is not easy for Noah to get a piece of the QR code business. In this way, his value to Roy's cooperation has also been greatly reduced.
If Roy was willing to offer a non-harsh offer now, Noah had no other choice, and he felt that he would most likely agree.
Noah watched as Roy slowly spoke, with some anticipation and a little nervousness in his heart, a feeling he hadn't experienced for a long, long time.
"Noah, how do you think about cooperating with a QR code company?"
Noah suppressed the restlessness in his heart and replied unhurriedly: "I haven't thought about it yet." He reasoned that since Roy could take the initiative to find him, he was sure that the other party was more anxious than himself, and he only needed to brake quietly, find the opponent's flaw, and give him a fatal blow first.
Roy paused and paved the way: "I think you must have privately understood, the scope of application of QR code is very wide, the future of any enterprise, the company's logistics system, information exchange is inseparable from the great promoter of the two-dimensional code, as long as we can do the patent this piece perfectly, every year to the world alone to collect patent fees, you can make a lot of money, until the patent expires!"
Speaking of eating on patents, Roy can't help but think of Microsoft and Qualcomm. Microsoft charges about $5 per Android phone for buying patents. In contrast, apart from Apple and Samsung, there is really no third company in the world that directly earns more money than Microsoft on mobile phones.
Of course, we all know that Microsoft's own mobile phone business is on the streets.
Microsoft's approach has been criticized for the patent system itself. The mobile phone technology developed by Microsoft is very poor and there is no market at all, but it can solve problems for mobile phone manufacturers all over the world through the patents it has purchased, so there has been controversy about whether the patent system today promotes technological progress more or hinders technological progress.
Noah's insight into patent law shook Roy N Street, and naturally he felt the potential of QR codes more than Roy. He nodded frankly.
Roy said: "I can also reveal some confidential content to you, such as this QR code I started developing three years ago, after more than three years, after countless iterations, he not only has powerful functions such as supporting symbols and languages, but also can locate lenses, correct damage and errors, and store files...... And so on and a series of incredible details, I can proudly say that my QR code is impeccable!"
Noah couldn't help but show a look of surprise, he thought he knew enough about QR codes, but he didn't expect that the use behind QR codes was still mind-blowing and amazed.
Noah said, "Great. ”
Roy changed his tone and said weakly: "However, it is true that as you said, even if I am a patent attorney, it is not as good as your patent level, my product idea, plus your management talent, just like you said, complement each other perfectly, don't you?"
Being praised so falsely that Noah's heart skipped a beat.
