It's a small piece of software, but it's a hot topic in the Penguin tech department.

It's not that Penguin Technicians can't decompile it, it's not that they can't do it, but it takes time and money. In a hurry, the software will be very bloated, and there is absolutely no current streamlining. The use of counterfeit on mobile phones may also cause a very poor user experience.

Manager Zhao, who was in charge of operations, arrived at the scene and asked, "What is the current result?" ”

The technical director explained the situation: "We have a way to crack its software, but we can't imitate the essence, we want to be fast and streamlined, it requires very complicated steps, we can't figure it out for the time being." It also uses a unique compression algorithm, which is much more efficient than what we use. ”

Manager Zhao is not a simple technical thinking, his primary consideration is the impact and value of the enterprise. It is certain that this software will generate ideas that will be in the pocket of your competitors. If you want to maintain an advantage, the fastest way is definitely not to imitate and steal.

The quickest thing to do is: buy it and buy it along with the technology.

Thinking of this, Manager Zhao asked, "What about the information of the other company?" ”

"It's all here." The assistant sent the information, "It's a small company that has just started and is not receiving any financing, but the advertising expenses are very large. ”

"Where there is demand, there is a breakthrough point." Manager Zhao opened the information to view.

……

After Meng Qian went to the company, he got a notice.

"Penguin's people looking for me?"

Liang Tao nodded: "The other party said on the phone that he hoped to talk to you about the software, and it is very likely that he liked our technology." ”

"That's fast." Meng Qian walked to his office, and Liang Tao gave him the number.

I dialed it out and was quickly answered: "Hello. ”

"I'm the head of Master Software." Meng Qian said.

The other party was obviously prepared: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Meng, Manager Zhao of our software department will be here soon." ”

"Hello, Mr. Meng." Changed a man's voice.

"It's me." Meng Qian said, "What is the matter with your company looking for me?" ”

"That's right, we are very interested in the 'super optimization master' developed by your company, and we have also learned about the current situation of your company, the software needs to be developed with funds and a strong promotion channel, and these advantages, Penguin are among the best in the industry."

"And your offer?" Meng Qian is very direct.

The other party didn't expect him to be so direct, but he also saved the need to beat around the bush: "We are willing to acquire 51% of the shares of the software in your hands with 10 million in cash, and the development of technology and the operation of the company are still in charge of you, and accordingly we will vigorously promote this software." ”

"I have no plans to sell that much at this time." Although Meng Qian was impressed, the offer had not yet reached the ideal value he hoped for.

The other party was not surprised: "We have other plans, our company acquires 40% of the shares in your hands, together with the technology required for your software, exclusive authorization to Penguin, we give 6 million cash, and the previously guaranteed channel promotion is still counted in the cooperation." ”

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to this condition for the time being." Meng Qian shook his head, it seemed that it was only 40%, and the company was still in his hands, but the technology was exclusively authorized.

The other person asked, "What does that gentleman mean?" ”

Meng Qian originally wanted to sell, but he felt that the penguin on top would take the initiative to contact him, what is the attitude of other companies? So I changed my mind temporarily: "My company has been abundant in funds recently, and I don't plan to sell my shares or accept financing. If there is a need, I will look for you first. ”

……

Although this cooperation has not been negotiated, it has shocked the entire company.

Well, there are only about a dozen people in the company, and everything is the first to spread. But when everyone learned that Penguin valued Master Software at 20 million, everyone did have an unbelievable feeling: the software was released in just ten days, and it was so valuable?

Of course, the soaring value of it has to do with the willingness to spend money on marketing, and millions of advertising dollars have made it the first shot, emerging from thousands of products. The excellent features have made it impressive, and the high frequency of user use also confirms its potential.

But no matter how you say it, it's a bit incredible.

Meng Qian is much calmer, he knows that there will be this effect, otherwise he would not spend money on marketing.

He came to the office outside and clapped his hands: "Everyone, stop for a moment!" ”

The employees stopped and looked at their bosses.

"The second version of Super Optimizer needs to speed up and improve its functions on the basis of the original, and the company will use the remaining funds to carry out more comprehensive publicity and advertising on it. Technical and testers, you've been getting a little busier lately. ”

"I think everyone already knows that there are large companies that value it at 20 million, but I think its actual value will be higher, so I have taken momentum, and if the next version still performs well, I promise to give all employees bonuses, very generous rewards!"

It's simple to keep employees motivated: get the money.

Money is faster and more effective than any verbal motivation or boss spur, and no one will have trouble with money.

……

Version 1.0 of the super optimization master, the interface and functions are relatively streamlined, and version 1.1, as early as the first version of the release, has been working hard to improve, in addition to the core part, will also add more perfect functions, positioning gradually to the "security housekeeper" closer.

It is certain that its appearance will be a potential threat to the giants.

Users will continue to grow over time, and as long as they grasp the technology leadership, there will be no shortage of users. The giants are currently trying to crack it, and sooner or later they will succeed in mastering it, but what if it is a year before it comes to fruition? The impact on their status can be imagined.

The software may face two situations: giant suppression, such as removing and removing it from the app store, blocking its transmission channels, and more viciously, announcing that it has Trojans and leaks**.

The second is what Meng Qian is willing to see: the giants spend huge sums of money to compete, and he pretends to be forced to sell his shares for a large amount of cash.

Meng Qian was in need of money.

He is also too lazy to waste time on such a software that is not up and down.

So he decided to continue to spend money on promotion, and after the release of version 1.1, he immediately used the company's remaining more than 1.5 million to do an advertisement covering more app stores, and after the potential value of the software was speculated, he accepted financing, and then used the financing to advertise and continue to speculate.

With users enthusiastic about this novel performance, it's easy to get value up.

Then realize his little abacus: sell the company at the high price point and exchange it for cash. Because the first company is interested, the second and third are still far away? Giants talk about acquisitions, venture capital investment in group companies...... As long as he is willing to sell, there will be no shortage of funds.
