HK072 Brain-dead Kodak, Canon arrived
In the Green Lake Hotel, on the side of the Patriot Company, three representatives glared at Mu Shuang at the same time, hoping that Mu Shuang would give a reasonable explanation! Why should the Leica Company in the country buy the source code of the smiley face detection program, and only need 500,000 dollars. They Patriot Corporation, what about two million dollars?
Shi Lei and Ling Yumo also looked at Mu Shuang strangely, not understanding what kind of difference Mu Shuang treated.
Mu Shuang sat upright in the chair, his face was indifferent, and he said in a calm tone: "Laika Company, only need the source code of the smiley face detection program and Xia Guo's patent authorization." So, we only charge them $500,000. However, we are ready to sell the patent rights of the smiley face detection program to you Patriot Company and make you the owner of the patent rights. So, you need to pay two million dollars! ”
Although Zhong Muyuan is shrewd, he is not a technician after all, and he does not understand patent rights. So, Zhong Muyuan shouted: "We don't want any patent rights, we just need the source code and patent authorization!" ”
Mu Shuang showed a shallow smile, "Mr. Zhong, are you sure you don't want a patent?" ”
Lao Xiao, a technician, opened his mouth, wanting to remind Zhong Muyuan, but in the end he didn't speak.
"Ms. Mu, I'm sure! As long as the source code, plus the patent license, is it half a million dollars? Zhong Muyuan didn't think about it and asked directly.
Mu Shuang nodded, "That's right, it only costs half a million dollars." However, I can give you a day to think about it, and we'll talk tomorrow! ”
Zhong Muyuan wanted to say that he would sign the contract now, but Lao Xiao finally couldn't help it, and pulled the corner of Zhong Muyuan's clothes to give him a look.
"Oh, Ms. Xie Lu Xie Mu, we'll think about it!"
Shi Lei and the two of Leica returned to the small conference room they rented, and Mu Shuang and William, after consultation, signed a preliminary agreement of intent.
Among them, it is clearly stipulated that The LYCRA Company can use the source code of the smiley face detection program and also carry out a second development, but cannot disclose the source code to the outside world. Shi Lei needed to provide technical support to help The LYCRA Company integrate the smile detection program into The LYCRA Company's digital camera system.
After signing the preliminary agreement of intent, Shi Lei mentioned the campus software competition of Shuangqing University to William, and hoped that William would send an application letter to Shuangqing University in the official name of the Leica Company and become a judge of the campus software competition.
William listened to the story and was very interested and said that there was no problem, and the two parties agreed that the licensing contract for the smiley face detection program was officially signed when the results of the software competition were announced!
After solving the matter of the Laika Company, Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to take Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang, and when he returned to school, George, the head of the negotiation team of Kodak Company, called Shi Lei again and invited Shi Lei to discuss at the Green Lake Hotel.
Shi Lei directly and Ling Yumo, two beauties, went to the conference hall rented by Kodak Company to start a new round of negotiations.
In the conference hall, Kodak's George . Captain Black, holding a thick stack of papers. When Shi Lei walked in, Head George said politely: "Mr. Shi, you are here so soon!" ”
Shi Lei didn't hide it, and said directly: "I came to the Cuihu Hotel this morning, and in the morning I was negotiating with the Laika Company of the Kingdom of Will, and in the afternoon I was the Patriot Company of our Xia Country. ”
Captain George frowned, and his assistant Mike couldn't hold his breath and said, "Mr. Shi, we have a doubt, why is the patent owner of the smiley face detection program Sony?" ”
Shi Lei raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Mike, I need to correct a mistake for you, the Xia Kingdom's patent rights for the smiley face detection program belong to us, not Sony." In addition, our smiley face detection program is far superior to Sony! ”
Mike snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Shi, when you first negotiated, why didn't you say it?" ”
"Mr. Mike, IMHO, if it's a global patent, how much do you think the smiley face detection program is worth?" Shi Lei stopped Mike at once!
Once the smiley face detection program is launched, 99.999 percent of cameras, as well as the vast majority of mobile phone cameras in later generations, will be equipped with this program.
Such a huge amount of usage, just the patent licensing fee, that's an astronomical amount! How can it be so cheap?
"Mr. Shi, if it is only Xia Guo's patent rights and the source code of the smiley face detection program, our Kodak company can only bid 50,000 US dollars at most!" Captain George said with a frown.
Shi Lei's face was slightly stiff, 50,000 US dollars? Is Kodak calling Hanako?
Even Mu Shuang couldn't help but smile!
"Captain George, you Kodak, you are not sincere at all!" Shi Lei couldn't hold back his disgust and sneered.
George. Blake said seriously: "Mr. Shi, our Kodak is very sincere, and 50,000 US dollars is not a lot, which is equivalent to your Xia currency, which is 400,000!" Mr. Shi, 400,000 Xia Guo currency is enough for you to buy a property around the school! ”
Shi Lei chuckled, it turned out that Kodak had investigated his identity, they thought they were students, so they were fooling? No wonder in 2012, this century-old giant in the photography industry collapsed and declared bankruptcy!
From their attitude towards new technology, it can be seen that this enterprise is conservative and rotten!
"Captain George, you should keep your $50,000!" Shi Lei stood up and prepared to announce the termination of the negotiations.
George made the most difficult effort and said: "Mr. Shi, most of the patent rights of the smiley face detection program are in the hands of Sony, they will not let you master the Xia Guo patent, and they will definitely harass you through judicial channels!" If you are willing to transfer the patent rights of Xia Guo to our Kodak Company, we are willing to pay 100,000 US dollars! ”
Shi Lei couldn't help it, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed out loud. Kodak, he was so disappointed!
Originally, Shi Lei was most willing to cooperate with Kodak Company, a century-old enterprise with great influence in the entire Xia Kingdom. It is even more well-known in the Xia Kingdom!
It's just a pity that Kodak is a little stingy after all, and it doesn't pay too much attention to new technology! This also laid the groundwork for the tragic ending that Kodak finally declared bankruptcy!
"Captain George, we still have something to do, let's make an appointment to negotiate next time!" Shi Lei left Kodak with the last trace of face, and he didn't say it was impossible.
Commander George had a regretful expression, "Mr. Shi, it's a pity, we are ready to return to Lijianguo, good luck!" ”
Shi Lei walked out of the conference hall with two beauties without looking back!
In the elevator, Ling Yumo pursed his lips and said, "Stone monster, the people of Kodak Company are so annoying!" ”
Mu Shuang agreed: "Century-old enterprises, they have their arrogance, but they haven't realized their hidden crisis yet!" ”
Shi Lei was slightly shocked in his heart, could it be that Mu Shuang is so powerful? Can it be speculated that Kodak will not be able to fall?
"Mu Shuang, what is the crisis of Kodak?" Shi Lei asked tentatively.
Mu Shuang glanced at Shi Lei, and then explained: "The future of photography belongs to simpler digital cameras, not old-fashioned films!" Kodak can't let go of the glory of the past and will be eliminated! ”
Shi Lei was shocked! Mu Shuang's business vision, is it really so powerful?
"I see!"
The three of them walked out of the Cuihu Hotel and were about to take a taxi back to Shuangqing University, when Shi Lei's mobile phone rang again.
After connecting it, an obscene voice came. "Excuse me, is it Shi Leijun? I'm a representative of Canon, Ichiro Inu! ”
Inuichiro's Xia Chinese is very non-standard, and Shi Lei understood it with difficulty!
"I'm Shi Lei, Mr. Dog, where are you now?" Shi Lei asked, if the other party is about to arrive at the Green Lake Hotel, then wait for them and strive to finish the conversation together today!
Ichiro Inu-chan asked the translator next to him, Matsushita Kuyoko, in Japanese, "Kuyoko, where is this?" ”
Matsushita Kuyoko is a young woman who looks a little beautiful, she looked at Inuichiro with a smile, and said flatteringly: "Little Inu-kun, this is Shuangqing University, we need about five minutes to arrive at the Green Lake Hotel." ”
Ichiro Inuchi directly handed the phone to Matsushita Kuyoko and said, "Kuyoko, tell that branch. That person, let's arrive at the Green Lake Hotel right away, let them go to the Green Lake Hotel as well! ”
Shi Lei was on the phone, and he heard it clearly, Shi Lei is proficient in Japanese, and he can speak Japanese fluently!
It's just that Shi Lei learned from William, he clearly understood the other party's language, but pretended not to understand.
Matsushita Kuyoko took the phone and said in a coquettish voice: "Shi Leijun, hello, I am the translator of the Canon delegation, named Matsushita Kuyoko. We are about to arrive at the Green Lake Hotel, and we hope that Shi Leijun will also be able to rush to the Green Lake Hotel, and we will discuss the smiling face detection procedure as soon as possible. ”
Shi Lei responded: "Miss Kudaizi, we are already at the Green Lake Hotel, waiting for you to arrive at any time!" ”
A few minutes later, a black business car stopped at the entrance of the Green Lake Hotel, and a short and fat obscene man less than 1.6 meters tall got down from the back seat. Immediately afterwards, a woman about 1.65 meters followed and got out of the car. Then, two men in formal suits with serious expressions got out of the passenger seat and the back seat respectively.
The short fat ugly who is less than 1.6 meters is the little dog Ichiro, he hugged the waist of Matsushita Kuyoko, and pinched the soft waist of Matsushita Kuyoko very irregularly, but Matsushita Kuyoko instead looked like he was enjoying it, which made people feel indescribably awkward!
Although Inuichiro is short, fat and ugly, he himself is known as the deputy director of the public relations department of Canon, and his family has a lot of shares in Canon!
This time when he came to Xia to negotiate, he should not have sent short fat and ugly, but he argued with reason, thinking that Xia Guo was cheap. Min, it's not worth making a big move, you might as well let him go, and that's why he won the position of the head of the negotiation team.
Fortunately, Canon is not brain-dead, and sent two technical experts to follow the short fat ugly.
When the short fat ugly hugged Matsushita Kuyoko, and when he walked into the lobby of the Green Lake Hotel, he suddenly looked at Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang with bright eyes, and his eyes were full of obscenity!
