Chapter 46: Interviews
James returned to the Xiucheng Hotel with a tired body, and when he was about to take out the key to open the door, a group of people suddenly walked out of the next room.
"Is this Mr. James, please?"
Zhou Fulin deliberately wore Chow Yun-fat's outfit in the movie God of Gamblers, combed his big back hair, wore a black suit over his white shirt, and held a toothpick in his mouth, but his domineering dress matched his short and fat figure was really a bit nondescript.
James stood in front of Jessica vigilantly, looked at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Zhou Fulin shook his shoulders and withdrew his suit, and someone behind him hurriedly caught it and put it away.
He laughed, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello Mr. James, get to know you, Flynn . Week. My dad is the chairman of the Fulin Group, and I have some business matters I would like to talk to you about. ”
James shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know if there is any business to talk about between us, please leave, otherwise I will call the police." ”
"Mr. James, don't be so repulsive to people thousands of miles away, please see my sincerity!" Zhou Fulin said, snapping his fingers, and someone from behind hurriedly stepped forward and opened a suitcase.
James looked down and saw that there were stacks of renminbi inside, and he frowned and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Zhou Fulin said with a smile: "It's not interesting, it's just meaning." ”
James asked incomprehensibly, "What do you mean, what do you mean?" ”
Zhou Fulin scratched his head and said, "Actually, it doesn't mean anything else......"
James said hesitantly, "You're such an interesting person! ”
……
Jessica listened to the conversation between the two and asked Farrell next to her, "Farrell, is James talking about a talk show?" ”
Farrell swallowed, shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know what to do, I'm dizzy!" ”
After a while, James saw that he was turning over and over without getting to the point, and said impatiently: "Okay, I'm not interested in continuing to play this boring game with you." I repeat, please leave, or I'll call the police! ”
Zhou Fulin waved his hand, and the person with the suitcase retreated. He said helplessly, "All right, Mr. James. My purpose is simple, I hope that Microsoft will choose the FORIN Group as the procurement object for the X-architecture keyboard. ”
James was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said, "If this is the case, I advise you not to waste your efforts, this is impossible." Mr. Zhou Shuo owns all the patents of the X-architecture keyboard, and Microsoft will not do anything that infringes on the patent rights of others. ”
"Hey!" Zhou Fulin shook his head indifferently, spread his hands and said: "Mr. James, in China, we don't talk about patents or patents, anyway, if I produce it, you can buy it." Who can go to the United States and mind your business? ”
James raised his hand to prevent him from approaching and said, "I'm sorry sir, we're going into the room." Maybe you really don't care about patents, but in the U.S., things are different. With that, he pushed open the door and protected Jessica and Farrell as they entered.
When James saw the two men enter the room, he stepped back and said, "If nothing else, please go back." ”
Zhou Fulin held his hand, broke through James's blockade and pushed the door open, and said proudly: "What if I can get a patent?" ”
"That's not ......," James said halfway through, then abruptly changed his tune: "If you can get a patent, Microsoft will consider negotiating a supply with you for an X-architecture keyboard." ”
Zhou Fulin withdrew his hand, nodded and smiled: "Then please wait for good news." ”
James looked him up and down, nodded and said, "I wish you success." ”
James closed the door, and Jessica asked puzzledly, "Head, haven't we already signed a contract with Principal Zhou for the supply of keyboards?" Why did you still agree to this person's request? ”
James shook his head and said, "If Zhou Shuo is a supplier with peace of mind, of course there is no problem." But instant messaging is very important, and if he can break his supply contract, it will always be good for Microsoft. ”
Jessica shook her head, spread her hands and said, "You men's minds are so complicated......"
The $1.2 million software transfer fee is a lot of money in both the United States and China. In China, of course, its magic may be even more powerful than in the United States.
The news of millions of dollars is like having wings, and I don't know whose mouth it originally came from. First of all, the teachers of the first high school knew the truth, then the entire Xiucheng education system knew the truth, and then the civil servants in the government spread the word, and gradually the plausible rumors began to prevail in the society.
The most embarrassing incident even alarmed the reporter of Xiucheng Daily.
On this day, Zhou Shuo just came out of the school, and with a creak, a Xiali stopped in front of him. The door of Xiali's car opened, and a woman with short hair in a women's suit stepped out of the car and stopped in front of him.
The woman said in nice Mandarin: "Hello, is it Principal Zhou?" ”
Zhou Shuo was stunned, nodded slightly and said, "I am, who are you?" Looking for me? ”
The woman stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "I am a reporter from Xiucheng Daily, and my name is Ye Weiran." I want to interview President Zhou, I don't know if it is convenient for you? ”
Zhou Shuo shook hands with her gently, Ye Weiran was not bad, and could even be said to be very beautiful. Tall, graceful, and most importantly, the kind of confidence that is under control, revealing a heroic and neat atmosphere from top to bottom.
It is rare for a beautiful woman to invite, of course he will not refuse: "I don't know what reporter Lu Daoye wants to interview me?" I do have time. ”
Ye Weiran raised her chin slightly, looking a little strong, and she said in an affirmative tone: "Let's talk about it in school, it won't delay you for too long." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Shuo turned sideways and made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Reporter Ye, please come in, welcome!" ”
Ye Weiran walked into the school first with her long legs, and Zhou Shuo scratched his head and followed her. The two walked to the playground and sat down on a gardening prop on a stone table and bench.
Ye Weiran took out a pen and paper from his shoulder bag, opened the notepad and said: "I heard that President Zhou sold a software to Microsoft in the United States and received a payment of 1.2 million US dollars, is it true?" ”
Zhou Shuo had long thought that it would be this matter, and immediately nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed one million two hundred thousand dollars." ”
The reason why his $1.2 million is not less than a penny is because of the 1994 tax reform. The central government will collect the fiscal power, and the provisional regulations on value-added tax stipulate that export products will be zero-rated, and this year is also the happiest year for exporters, because after 1995, the central tax system was successfully reformed and the export tax rate was restored.
Ye Weiran asked curiously, "Can you tell us more about how you got it?" ”
Zhou Shuo organized his language and said, "First of all, I must state that this is not just my wealth. When I was a computer teacher in my second high school, I organized a computer interest group. Later, I was transferred to a high position and became the principal here. However, the students in the interest group still wanted to learn computer knowledge with me, so I led them to write a set of software in their spare time this summer. And Microsoft was interested in buying it, so I sold the software to them. ”
Ye Weiran's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then asked: "In other words, this money is not just the fruit of your labor?" ”
Zhou Shuo nodded cautiously and said, "That's right, to be precise, it should be owned by me and all my students." ”
Ye Weiran clenched her pen excitedly and asked, "Then will you give them this money?" ”
"Of course!" Zhou Shuo said categorically: "This is their legal labor income. ”
Ye Weiran worked hard to write down all his words, and shouted in his heart that it was worth the trip! $1.2 million, how exactly is it distributed? I believe that this topic alone can write a large report!
She then asked a few more questions, couldn't hide her excitement, and quickly ended the interview.
Ye Weiran put away the pen and paper and said with a smile: "Principal Zhou is really the person I have ever seen, I will definitely report your deeds!" ”
Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said seriously: "What I do is nothing, what I hope most is that Reporter Ye can report more on the wealth brought by software, which is a good thing that really benefits the country and the people." ”
How can the IT industry thrive? This is a question that Zhou Shuo has been thinking about. Only by attracting more and more people to join the IT industry can it have a future for development. Borrowing the wisdom of later generations, he found a similar path - the promotion of online articles.
The Internet literature of the Chinese Internet is a special product of China, and it is the result of the collision between policy and economy and network technology. In the promotion stage of online articles, if you want to attract more readers, you must have more books; If you want to have more books, you have to have more authors.
How to attract more authors to join the ranks of online articles? The starting point of the Chinese network's plan to create a god can be said to be indispensable. Generations of great gods have achieved one wealth myth after another. These wealth myths attract more and more authors to rush into the online literary circle like moths to a fire.
Now Zhou Shuo wants to attract more talents and invest in the IT industry, and he also needs to make gods. And what kind of god can have more impact than the millionaire who was under the age of 18 in 1994? What is the difference between reversing the understanding in people's hearts and reversing the future of the industry?
"Principal Zhou, you are free, I will leave first!" Ye Weiran couldn't wait to pick up the satchel and gallop away.
"Walk slowly, don't fall!" Zhou Shuo waved and shouted behind her.
The speed at which the report was published was beyond imagination.
The next day, the front page of Xiucheng Daily reported on Zhou Shuo's interview with the title of "Twelve Underage Millionaires".
The whole society suddenly boiled......
