Chapter 121: Epoch-Making Things (3)
The winter sun is bright and warm, and the floor-to-ceiling glass windows shine comfortably in the office.
Kyle, general manager of IBM (Huaguo) head office, was also in a good mood, referring to the cooperation model with SOHU, he bypassed the headquarters to sell the hardware and software, and pirated his own company's software, which opened up the stagnant market at once, and also beat Cisco, HP, and Siemens to the ground.
The Chinese are smart, and it's no wonder that they are called as smart as the Jews. The victor is not condemned, he has increased his revenue by 41.9%, and the people at the headquarters are not pinching their noses and acquiescing to their own methods, and not holding themselves accountable?
After listening to the other party's show-off, Li Jiaming, who was a genuine coffee, had a strange expression and said in disbelief: "Kyle, how do you still care about how your headquarters sells?"
"Of course, they're all granite heads, and that's the big company disease, and you have to avoid it. ”
This old boy is much more flexible, and it seems that he often follows his gang to mingle, and he is also close to Zhu Zhechi. Jia Ming was happy for a while, and suddenly said in English: "DoyouantToSpendTherestofYourLifesellingSugaredaterordoYouantaChanceToChangeTheOrld?"
This is too famous, although the person who said it made the people he invited rush and joked, "Wow, you're Steve's believer?"
He is at most half, but this old boy is absolutely, Li Jiaming said in Chinese: "Do you want to spend the rest of your life by selling broken servers and software, or do you want a chance to change the world?"
Is this serious? Kyle saw that Li Jiaming was not joking, and began to get serious. Although he was the one who witnessed the miracle of SOHU, Li Jiaming's sincere invitation still stumped him.
Silicon Valley's startup success rate is 1%, which is a bloody warning sign! Of course, if this genius boy has a way to replicate a sohu-style business miracle, he can take a risk.
After hesitating for a while, Kyle was puzzled: "Ming, I admire your talent, but I am a family person, I love my family very much, and I have to create a happy and prosperous environment for my four children to grow up." If you're just relying on a great dream, it's hard for me to follow in your footsteps. ”
That is, as long as his ideas are pragmatic, he will follow this foreign devil to see the hope of success, and Li Jiaming, who is secretly happy, joked: "Believe in God and love the family?"
"Yes, that's my faith. ”
It is good to have faith, and believing in God is a hundred times stronger than believing in banknotes, Li Jiaming said happily: "Kyle, I have invented an epoch-making electronic product, and I need you to market and promote it! Believe me, you will become Hermann Holreth of Hanhua Electronics!?"
Hermann Horres?
The sun shone on Kyle's face, and the yellow hair reflected the sunlight like a golden retriever, but the golden retriever orangutan shook his head and said: "Ming, you may have the passion of Steve, maybe you can become a Jerry?Yang-style super-rich, but you are certainly not as great as Mr., he is the founder of the great IBM." ”
Speaking of other people's granite heads, this guy is not bad, and he is still insisting that the real economy is more important than the virtual economy. Yes, Lao Tzu likes such people. No matter how popular the Internet is now, and how popular it will be in the future, wealth will eventually fall on products that can be seen and touched.
"No, I will be greater than him, because I can change the world!"
God, maybe he really had a great idea, just like Steve Jobs did when he made the personal computer!
"Ok, ok, then tell me first, what did you invent?"
Li Jiaming shrugged his shoulders, like their foreign devils, and insisted: "Kyle, this is a trade secret, you haven't agreed to join my team yet!"
Abide by professional ethics because the cost of violating it is too great, Kyle, who also has a devil in her heart, was silent for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Ming, you are questioning my professional ethics!"
Oh, by the way, it's the standard professional manager, but don't put too much faith in the so-called professional ethics. Li Jiaming, who never thinks too much about human nature, pondered for a moment and gave in: "Okay, I'll explain my invention to you!"
After listening to it for a few minutes, Kyle, who was still very eager at first, frowned, got up and walked to the desk and took out an MP3 from the drawer, and mocked: "Ming, this is the Diamond company that produces rio?pmp300, and your intelligence is already behind!"
Someone has already invented it? Li Jiaming, who was shocked, ignored the ridicule of others after being disappointed, and hurriedly took over this crude gadget, jumped to someone's desk, and quickly turned on the computer and searched for information.
Damn, how many people are there in the world?
Was this thing actually invented by Koreans? Or was it invented by the engineer of Samsung's monster? After the engineer left Samsung, he established Sehan Company and launched it, which is the world's first mp3!
Li Jiaming, who has always been undiscolored at the top of Mount Tai, lost his temper, his face was like ashes, and he was unwilling to dismantle other people's gadgets for a while, pointing to the four stacked chips and saying, "Kyle, what is the capacity of these four hard drives?"
"No, no, it's not a hard drive, it's flash, and the capacity is 128MB. ”
Li Jiaming was overjoyed, and hurriedly assembled this rough broken thing, only to find that this was a standard broken thing.
"Cut, Kyle, you're scared of me! I'll tell you, Mr. Moon is one step ahead of me, but my design is ten thousand times stronger than Diamond's product!"
"How much is 10,000 times?"
"One hundred, one hundred!"
Li Jiaming took the pen and paper on his desk, drew a sketch and said, "See, we can let users choose songs, edit playlists, ......"
Kyle's head is rigid, but he is also an MBA trained by MIT Sloan Business School, and after listening to Li Jiaming's explanation, his heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.
The biggest problem with 00 is that the capacity is too small, it can only hold a dozen songs at a time, and it can't let users choose the songs they want to listen to, so they can only mechanically select the next song and the next song like a traditional Walkman. And Li Jiaming's design is very user-friendly, and the capacity reaches an astonishing 2GB, which means that you can put all the music of 30 CDs into a small box, and you can edit out several playlists, and freely choose what environment and mood you want to listen to!
What's even more beautiful is that they choose a low-density, high-density hard drive instead of expensive flash memory. God, this means that they will not cost more than $40, and the 00 is selling for $170!
God, this is a great idea! Ecstatic Kyle held back the excitement in her heart and reminded, "Ming, there's one more issue – copyright. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kyle, who was excited, pushed Li Jiaming away again, looked for news on AOL by himself, but couldn't find the latest news, and immediately made a transatlantic call. Well, after a long time, the excited Kyle lowered her voice and said: "Ming, God, the copyright issue can be solved, the riaa (American Recording Industry Association) is suing Diamond Company, according to the analysis of professional lawyers, Diamond Company is very likely to win!"
Li Jiaming looked at this foreign devil in disbelief, but the lawyer of SOHU North America swore that the dissemination of music products on the Internet, even if it is free, is suspected of infringement.
Ming, the intellectual property protection law of the United States does not include Internet communication in the scope of legal protection, and the law of the sea we practice is not your civil law. ”
"Precedents?"
"Good! Even if the law is amended in the future, the previous violations cannot be pursued. Of course, the riaa will certainly lobby Congress to change the law, but it will take time and enough for us to do a lot. ”
, those Chinese lawyers with two knives! Wait, we, not you?
