Wanghu Hotel, a conference room rented by the fast network. Today is the last day of talks,

Zou Sheng said everything he should have said, and the final offer he got after repeatedly asking Shi Guanghu also came. Before he made the offer, he finally sighed:

"It's terrifying! I, Zou, am a person in Silicon Valley, and I have been in the IT circle for ten years. I have never seen Mr. Gu negotiate so hard. ”

Gu Mojie didn't accept this compliment at all, and pushed back officially: "This has nothing to do with eloquence, it's all about strength - if your company is sure that it will burn me to death as quickly and efficiently as possible in the money-burning war, I believe it will not sit down and talk." How much my stuff should be worth should not be measured by how much it costs me; Isn't it right to say, 'How much will it cost you if you want to kill me?' ”

"Okay, okay, you're right, for the sake of the upcoming happy cooperation, we won't talk about it today. I'll just talk about our final offer, and decide whether to agree to Mr. Gu or not. Zou Sheng waved his hand, opened a fax signed by Shi Guanghu, and said, "In order to acquire the 'universal input method' software owned by Mr. Gu Zhongjie, as well as the copyright of all its historical versions, as well as all the source code. Swift Network Technology is willing to invest 11 million yuan-"

When he heard the figure of 11 million, Rao is Gu Mojie had expectations before, and now he was also surprised.

When he played a double reed with Fei Liluo in private yesterday, he took the initiative to ask for 10 million, but he refused to relax, he wanted to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and deliberately let this asking price be heard by the other party. He originally thought that the other party would at best promise him the 10 million he proposed, but who knew that he would add another 1 million instead?

Where in the world is there a buyer who shouts high when he bargains? Isn't this a joint code between Wei Xiaobao and the Heaven and Earth Society?

"How much is a string of sugar gourds?" "Fifty taels, no two prices!" "One hundred taels and one string, can't you sell it?"

Zou Sheng also caught the shock that flashed in Gu Mojie's expression, and paused for a moment before finishing his words.

"I'm not done yet—the offer of 11 million is conditional, that is, a reasonable accounting period of 90 days must be given. Our company will pay this amount in the form of reasonable instruments that are not transferable or sub-mortgaged. We guarantee that the money will be frozen in advance in the specific acceptance of the financial institution, you can also inquire, but you can not take it out in advance, the physical bill will also be stored in the safe of the third-party guarantee agency, you are not allowed to use this bill in advance to prove your financial resources. If you can say yes, we'll sign up on that condition. ”

Gu Mojie didn't react to why the other party added such a complicated condition, saying that he needed to adjourn the meeting to think about it. Zou Sheng didn't rush him either, and let him discuss. Gu Mojie returned to the lounge and discussed with Zhou Lixin and Fei Liluo alone before he understood the other party's intentions.

"Brother, are you saying that Swift Network is afraid that after we get the money, we will immediately start a new research and development of a more powerful input method than the 'universal input method', so we will move our hands and feet in the payment time? Hopefully we can give them a three-month window to sneak away to widen and solidify the gap? ”

"Undoubtedly, that's the purpose. Although you sell the source code, they know that you can write a similar software to make trouble for them with a slight makeover, and you can even make a little further technical improvement to make your new input method more functional than them. In this way, they can only hope to delay the arrival of your funds, so that you cannot immediately recruit troops and catch up; Otherwise, the money they spend will not be 'capital enemies'." ”

Improving a piece of software is costly. Whether it's hiring programmers, or setting up additional servers for testing some web applications, it's all money.

Under normal circumstances, if Gu Mojie didn't have the plug-in of Hatsune Niang, after selling the "universal input method", he wanted to start a new product immediately and write a new product with obvious progress in function, and he really needed to spend 2 million funds. Even if there is Hatsune Musume, he can save a part of his programmer salary, but to achieve this step, he still needs to invest more than 1.5 million.

Of course, for Gu Mojie, there is an ever-present advantage, that is, his opponent cannot know about the existence of Hatsune Niang.

Therefore, Zou Sheng and Shi Guanghu are gambling on Gu Mojie's cash flow, betting that as long as their big money is not accounted for, Gu Mojie will not be able to start work in these three months.

When the time comes,The universal input method they bought,On the basis of the current tens of millions of users,Three months of hype promotion,It has long occupied the mainstream market of domestic pinyin input method users。 In addition, after Gu Mojie's money is in hand, it will take time to develop and improve the input method, and maybe two months will pass by then.

In this way,Swift network is not vegetarian,All kinds of programmer resources piled up,Maintain the advanced nature of technology,Isn't it the country of the domestic pinyin input method?

To put it bluntly, the extra 1 million is used to buy the time difference, and Gu Mojie "can't re-enter the industry within three months".

Shi Guanghu is actually not bad for money, and if he tried it a little, his father would give him tens of millions of expenses. As long as he has the ability to achieve the achievement of "the first similar product in China" in a certain software field, his father will definitely invest in him. The problem is that Shi Guanghu is also afraid that he spent money but did not buy the desired effect, if the money on the front foot was just scattered, and the money on the back foot became an accomplice to the enemy's counterattack, then he would be wronged.

However, Shi Guanghu was destined to miscalculate.

Therefore, Gu Mojie didn't hesitate much, and decided to agree to this condition. Before returning to the conference room, he asked Feliro to find a relationship and immediately hire a reliable financial staff to help verify the payment details of the subsequent transaction. Then he signed a contract with Zou Sheng.

Gu Mojie also handed over the source code of the software after that, and made an appointment to change the registered copyright.

It's just that,The code he gave can only realize the functions on the surface of the "universal input method",And the backdoor of those big data applications that collect user feedback word frequency,Gu Mojie erased it on the final version,With his identification of the previous function of the "fast input method", he is sure that the other party did not find the backdoor feedback function of the universal input method.

There is no need to go into details.

……

When they walked out of the Wanghu Hotel, the group was refreshed.

A pinyin input method that currently ranks first in China and has exceeded 10 million users has cashed out 11 million RMB for Gu Mojie at one time! Compared with the self who was grinding with Huang He for a small amount of money for 800,000 yuan half a year ago, Gu Mojie today can be said to have directly skipped the level of millionaire and directly entered the ranks of multimillionaires with a remote attack.

Zhou Lixin's heart was shocked. Although he had been mentally prepared three days in advance, he knew that if this cousin really planned to sell the software, he would be worth at least several million, but he didn't expect it to break 10 million.

After this incident, Zhou Lixin was already thinking: I don't know how many years I can work on Taobao? I guess I won't be able to graduate from college, so I will be poached by him to work, right?

Fei Liluo's heart was even more shocked, because she found that Gu Mojie's little brother's rapid speed had thrown her away without a trace.

Originally, the faint affection for Gu Mojie in her heart had become stronger and stronger, but the self-esteem of a strong woman made her want to make herself better, at least after passing the judicial exam and officially obtaining a lawyer's certificate, she would face up to her personal emotional problems. She has subconsciously resisted becoming a man's vassal, turning into a vase. However, the truth cruelly told her: any attempt to make herself more worthy of that man would only widen the gap between the two.

Don't bring it like this!

Women's minds are always more complex than men's. Before that, Feliro was still subconsciously deceiving her heart, saying to herself: I approached Applejack just to work, so that he could give me more business......

But at this moment, after piercing this layer of window paper in her heart, she suddenly jumped to another problem: now the other party is already a multimillionaire. I have known him for a few months, and I haven't confessed before, and if I confess after that, won't it make Gu Mojie misunderstand that she is in love with the other party's money?

Fei Liluo's family background is not bad, and her consumption concept is not vain, so she really doesn't need to rely on money to prove herself. People are terrible, and as a prospective lawyer's mentality, she will think a lot about everything.

Hesitating like this, she could only set an iron rule in her heart: since she had missed the opportunity to confess before Gu Mojie developed, she simply did not confess. As long as he continues to silently support his career, if he has a conscience and is willing, then he must let the other party take the initiative to confess. Anyway, she hasn't met any competitors at the moment, so there's no need to rush.

In this way, there is no suspicion that she Fei Liluo takes a fancy to the other party's money and is shameless.

Between the three of them, Gu Mojie originally proposed to celebrate the matter and eat a K song or something, but Zhou Lixin was already working in Ahri, and he was very busy, so he was really not available, so he left directly.

Gu Mojie thought about it, there were so few people, it was really a bit awkward to go to karaoke, so he gave up. He was not a man with feelings, but instead he thought of accompanying Feliro to go shopping and buy some gifts to thank her for her hard work in the past few days with the negotiations. For this request, Feliro did not refuse.

Gu Mojie drove Feliluo's car, and the two drove to the Qiantang Building, which in 2003 had not been renovated, and it was not known for selling luxury goods like later generations, and there were still many brands that were slightly closer to the people.

Gu Mojie's concept of consumption is very realistic, looking at those clothes that cost tens of thousands at every turn, he didn't see why it was worth so much, so he could only take Fei Liluo to the jewelry counter - although jewelry is more expensive than clothes, it is hard currency in Gu Mojie's eyes, which can maintain value and invest.

The sales lady looked at the costumes of the two, and she didn't think that she was a person with great spending power, but after Gu Mozhuo took out more than 40,000 yuan and bought a necklace with a one-carat pink diamond for Fei Liluo, the sales lady's eyes immediately changed.

The diamond of '03 is quite cheap. In the process of shopping, the sales lady desperately instilled Gu Mojie with "eight arrows and eight stars cutting process", "pink diamond color difference grade", "gold jewelry technology and design style", but Gu Mojie had no cells in this area, he only knew that like the rigid Germans, he recognized the hard indicators of gem grade and weight.

Fei Liluo really couldn't stand it, and pulled Gu Mojie to persuade: "I knew that you were going to buy jewelry, why don't you go to Hong Kong next time to buy it, there are a lot of bargains." Why bother to come here to be wronged, you can't understand the style. ”

Gu Mojie smiled very sneeringly:

"It's fine, you know my mind anyway. In the next few days, you have to be busy - Shi Guanghu wants to card my cash flow. Whether his plan succeeds or not depends on whether you help me collect debts from Baidu or not. There are also a few patents on Supor's side, originally I was going to write them slowly, and I will sell them when I have time, but now I have to try to advance them as much as possible.

If I could scrape together enough money to open a software company in September, and hire programmers to write the code first, Shi Guanghu's plan would have failed. ”

Felilo, who had just been awakened by the diamond's joyful mood, "pedaled" and sank: buy me a diamond necklace together, or to better call me?
