Direct buyout and sharing, these are the two most common ways of cooperation in business cooperation, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, the first advantage is that you can get a lot of money immediately...... At least that's what the developers of the software think...... The shortcomings are naturally obvious, no matter how much money this software makes in the future, it has nothing to do with the developer, and the developer wants money in the future? Dream on;

The advantage of the second is that if the software sells well, the software developer may get much more money than the first way of cooperation, and it is very likely to become a stable source of money for a few years, but the disadvantage is just as obvious, if the software does not sell well, the software developer can be miserable.

There are pros and cons to both types of cooperation, which is a great test of the vision of software developers and enterprises, but usually, for those software developers who are not well-known, the company does not give them much of a choice, and usually gives a not very high price to buy out and leave.

Although Moros's age is not very old, she is also in this circle, so she naturally knows these two situations, and knows that her adoptive father has set herself the condition that she treats herself as an equal partner, and her heart is as sweet as drinking honey, with this feeling, she doesn't care which choice Lin Zheng gives herself: "You can give me which one you think is suitable, I don't care." ”

Moros didn't care, but Lin Zheng couldn't be indifferent, and said simply: "That's it, what do you think of the $300,000 plus 10% net profit share?" ”

$500,000 is not a small amount, even though the United States has the largest number of software developers in the world. But the one who can get an annual salary of $300,000 is also at the top of the pyramid of this industry, not to mention that Lin Zheng also gave Moros a 10% share, which is amazing. You must know that even those software development teams that use studios or even companies to save their products are extremely difficult to get this share ratio, Lin Zheng is not only not making money on the benefits of Morosilk, but also loosening a lot of benefits of Morosi out of thin air...... That is, Moros is Lin Zheng's adopted daughter.

is still the same sentence, Moros is not unaware of the market, so she was immediately startled by the conditions given by Lin Zheng: "Too ...... It's too much......"

"It's decided," Lin Zheng smiled and touched Moros's head: "Of course." In terms of the follow-up development of the product, whether it is software or hardware, you must follow up and cooperate throughout the process. Questions? ”

"Nope!" The one that Moros promised was called a crisp one.

"What do you think...... How long does it take to get a sample? ”

"Half a year should be about the same, right?" Moros thought about it, and said with confidence, if it weren't for the need to redesign the hardware, it wouldn't have taken so long.

"Half a year?" Lin Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: You are really confident.

Isn't it? Apple is so rich. It took 6 years to develop a Newton tablet, and PALM, which has just received venture capital from Lianchuang Technology, is also developing a new handheld computer, which is expected to take 2 years. That's a ......

Not wanting to overstimulate Moros, Lin Zheng tried his best to consider the wording: "Don't worry, what we want is a high-quality product, it doesn't matter if it takes a long time, the important thing is to control the quality of the product and the user experience of the software." You have to know that if a product doesn't give users a good experience at the beginning. It will be difficult for this product or even this company to gain the trust of users in the future, and I don't want to smash my own signboard...... You don't want to cut off your future financial resources, do you? ”

Sure enough, when it came to the issue of money, the little girl Moros became serious immediately, and there were few children born in capitalist countries who did not know the importance of money, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, even if it is for my money, I will do this well." ”

Many of her plans are waiting for the money to be put into place.

"Well, that's right," Lin Zheng was very satisfied with Moros's reaction, "By the way, remember the built-in wireless modem, you must ensure this guy's Internet function; Also, remember that our ICQ is built-in, which is a good opportunity to expand our ICQ market share......"

When he said this, thinking of the 9.6Kbps network speed of the modem in this era, Lin Zheng felt tears streaming down his face: Nima, 9.6Kbps! What a cheating internet speed!

Well? Are you not satisfied? Tell you, 9.6Kbps "high-speed" built-in wireless modem is only available in the United States, and you don't have a chance to use it if you want to use it in other countries, not even in Japan!

As for the question of how to design this handheld computer, it is indeed a difficult task for people who do not know the future development trend of applause computers/personal portable electronic assistants, but for Lin Zheng, do you think it will be difficult?

————————————————————————

Speaking of ICQ, when Benier, the CEO of ICQ, saw his boss, he smiled as if he had eaten magpie, and shouted for Lin Zheng to give him a raise and give him a bonus.

Of course, this product has enough reason to "blackmail" his boss, the reason is very simple, ICQ is growing at an explosive speed in his hands, the number of registered users and the number of simultaneous online users are constantly being refreshed, and even advertising revenue is constantly increasing, and it has become the hottest Internet high-tech company in the United States.

Although the current ICQ company has not yet achieved breakeven, how many Internet companies, including those Internet companies that have been speculated, can achieve breakeven? Lianchuang Technology has been able to achieve such a point now, which has made countless people red-eyed, and the call for ICQ to go public is endless.

"Of course the bonus is going to be issued," Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, the development momentum of ICQ company is so good, of course, there is the charm of ICQ software itself, but no one can deny the huge role of Benier, the CEO, in it, at least Lin Zheng himself admits that if he changes himself to Benier's position, he will definitely not do better than Benier, which is self-aware that Lin Daboss still has, However, being blackmailed by his own employees so simply is naturally not the consistent style of Boss Lin, and he asked Benier with a smile: "But Mr. Benier, are you sure you insist on the bonus?" ”

Well? Looking at his boss's obscene face, Benilden became vigilant, and his legs always had the urge to tremble.

He couldn't be clearer about his unscrupulous boss, don't look at his age, but the trick is one move after another, Benier, who has suffered countless losses, looked at Lin Zheng cautiously: "Boss, is there any difference?" ”

"What's the difference...... It's still a little bit ......" Lin Zheng deliberately dragged his tongue, and seemed to have made up his mind to see Benier's joke: "If you insist on the bonus, I can give you 50,000 US dollars now." ”

When he said this, Lin also raised a finger extremely badly to show that he was so generous.

$50,000? Benier was trembling when he heard it!

Don't think that $50,000 is not a lot of money, you know, this is an additional bonus in addition to the original bonus, annual salary, and equity awards, no matter how much Benier earned for nothing, and even when he asked his boss for this bonus, Benier didn't expect the boss to give it...... An ordinary mid-level sedan is only more than 20,000 dollars, okay?

And don't look at the Internet all over the world now, but the income of the real practitioners in this industry is not high, those companies that can raise hundreds of thousands of dollars are considered rich, you think about it, a company financing hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the operation of this enterprise for at least a year, how much money can be shared per capita? So $50,000 is really a lot, and Benier has the urge to agree immediately.

But fortunately, Benier is a person who has been cheated by Lin Zheng countless times, and the annual salary given to him by his boss is not low, he finally resisted the temptation in his heart, swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "What if I don't want it now?" ”

"Not right now?" Lin Zheng glanced at him with a little surprise: "Well, increase your equity dividend by 0.1%." ”

A 0.1% increase in equity awards? Benilden was depressed, and the reason for his depression was not anything else, but that he didn't know when the boss planned to make ICQ go public!

Although ICQ is not listed, this does not prevent some idle and boring economists and financiers from estimating the market value of ICQ, and it is generally believed that the minimum market value of ICQ is more than $50 million, considering their sufficient cash reserves, even $100 million is not high, with $100 million, 0.1% equity award means $100,000, even if it is $50 million market value, 0.1% is $50,000.

It's about the same as the reward given by Lin Zheng, but the question is, who knows when the boss, who has never been a cheater, decided to let the company go public...... As for whether ICQ will eventually go public, Benier has never doubted that the company will inevitably go public, but this 0.1% is not too much, and it is difficult for people to make up their minds.

After a moment's hesitation, Benier finally made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life: "Boss, I've been short of money lately, so I'm ......"

More than 10 years later, when ICQ developed into a behemoth with a market value of more than $100 billion, Benier regretted it every time he thought that he had given up $100 million for $50,000...... (To be continued......)
