Chapter 127: The Three-Day Covenant
As soon as the words fell, Ben said, "I'm a week." ”
DY: "I'm five days!" ”
Davis: "Three days. ”
Lin Yiming and Daniel were stunned.
How blatant this provocation is!
Daniel was stunned for a moment before he said, "No, you can't say that! Either way, it's been 20 days of hard work by Ming's team, and I'm sure it's not that easy to do. ”
Davis said firmly: "No, I don't think it's difficult, when you showed us the demo before, it was a very simple software with PS added function, I don't think it's difficult." ”
Lin Yiming frowned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I also think Google is not difficult, but neither of us can become Larry (the founder of Google)." Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, it is not difficult for anyone to decipher a piece of software and imitate it, but the difficulty is that blindly imitating it will not become an original developer. ”
As soon as the words fell, Daniel applauded violently, he was like Lin Yiming's number one fan brother, no matter what Lin Yiming said, he seemed to be able to find resonance, and applauded wildly.
"That's right! That's great! "You're working for the world's largest electronics peripherals company, making the best peripherals in the world, but you're never going to be me because you don't have a flash in your head." ”
When the boss speaks, how dare the employees refute it?
But the faces of the four were full of dissatisfaction.
Lin Yiming said: "Otherwise, since you said that you can make a 'beautiful face' in three days, then you can go back and try it, can you do it in three days?" If I can do it, then I will withdraw from this research and development, and the original price of the research and development fee will be refunded, and I will not work with other peripheral manufacturers to make software with similar functions. ”
"Okay, that's it." Davis said.
Daniel said to Lin Yiming regretfully: "You shouldn't make this bet with Davis!" Do you know what school he graduated from? ”
"Harvard? Cambridge? ”
"It's MIT!"
In short, it is a very good school in the world.
Lin Yiming had long expected that the other party's teacher would be famous, but programming is all accumulated little by little by experience, not that you are from a prestigious school, you can do anything.
"After three days, I'm expecting Davis to surpass me." He gladly accepted the challenge.
"Definitely." Davis said confidently.
Ren Wencheng couldn't understand English that was speaking too fast, but he sensitively felt that the atmosphere at the scene was wrong, so he turned his head sideways to Jian Ning to ask Lin Yiming what they had said.
When he heard the bet between Lin Yiming and the people at Logitech's headquarters, his eyes suddenly turned black, and he almost slipped under the table in fright!
His boss is a "loser" again!
As a small website that has only been in operation for two months, all employees can't listen to the sound of money being thrown out!
I heard the boss say that he wanted to invest in a little-known online game, and all of them were very bad at the time, if it wasn't for the boss who pulled back the investment of 4 million from the outside on the same day, they couldn't get over this hurdle in their hearts!
And that $2 million......
In fact, it has already been spent!
In order to make the website run for a fee, the boss had already embezzled the 2 million US dollars, which was 10 million yuan at the current exchange rate of 1:5, and the boss had already moved 4 million yuan and put it into the operation of the website, leaving 6 million for research and development expenses.
But even so, just if the original price is returned, I don't know where to find the 4 million!
Ren Wencheng now regrets it in his heart.
I regret why I didn't learn English well when I was in school, so that I won't be confused now, and I won't know what happened until the boss has made a bet with someone else, so that he can stop the boss before he loses money!
After making the bet, Davis was no longer in the mood to stay in the hotel, and he said to Daniel and Lin, "Time is limited, so now I should go back to my room and start programming." ”
"Looks like you're serious." Daniel sighed and said, "Even if you want to get into work now, I think you can fill your stomach before you go." ”
"Okay." Davis sat down and devoured something.
He is a foreigner, he really can't use chopsticks, he can only eat with a spoon, but some things can't be spooned with a thick and blunt spoon, so he has to eat with his hands, this meal can be described as extremely ugly.
"I'll eat quickly, I'll go up with you to make software later." Antony sat down and said.
"Me too." Ben and dy also said.
But Davis decisively refused: "No, this is my bet with Mr. Lin, so I plan to complete it alone." ”
"Okay then." The ABC trio had no choice but to stay.
Davis finished eating and left.
And just as he stepped out of the door, Lin Yiming raised his hand and called the waiter: "Waiter, these foreign guests don't know how to use chopsticks, please bring four sets of Western tableware." ”
"Yes, sir." The waiter left for the time being.
When she came back and respectfully put the tableware on the table, Daniel understood what Lin Yiming meant by the Yanxia language just now, and couldn't help laughing: "You bad boy! ”
"I'm not bad, I just feel that I have no reason to be polite to someone who is disrespectful to me." Lin Yiming smiled.
When the ABC trio who stayed behind heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly.
But Lin Yiming ignored them, and while eating, he took out the new demo he made all night last night and shared it with Dainel, which was the trial version of the game live broadcast.
After Dainel saw it, he was full of shock and couldn't help asking, "Are you still short of investment?" ”
"Not lacking for the time being." Lin Yiming said proudly.
"No!" Daniel is full of disappointment!
Lin Yiming smiled and said: "I'm not rejecting you, but because our country's Internet speed doesn't allow us to make this function the best for the time being, it's too early for you to invest in us, and it's likely that you will lose all your money." We already have a partnership, and I don't want my partner to lose, so I have to turn you down. But when our ADSL broadband reaches every Internet user's home, it is best for you to invest in us. ”
"But I'm afraid it'll be too late!"
"No, no, you're with me, always have a priority." Lin Yiming's smile was full of temptation: "But if you are worried that there will not be a place for you in the sponsorship in the future, you can also pay some deposit now......
Ren Wencheng was in a hurry.
Everyone at the scene could understand English, but he was the only one who couldn't understand it.
But when a person doesn't understand anything, his powers of observation become very sharp!
He keenly noticed that the expressions of Liu Qingfeng and Jian Ning, who were sitting beside him, became more and more stiff, and the atmosphere seemed to be not optimistic!
So he couldn't help but ask Liu Qingfeng: "Brother Feng, boss, what did they talk about?" ”
Liu Qingfeng said expressionlessly: "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
Ren Wencheng sighed in his heart!
Sure enough, it's going to be bad!
"That'...... Let's start with the bad news! ”
It's right to start bitter and then sweet!
Liu Qingfeng said expressionlessly: "The bad news is that the boss of Logitech wanted to invest in our new project, but the boss decisively refused. ”
Refuse......
And fucking "decisive"!
Ren Wencheng's heart is dripping blood.
Do you know how generous Logitech bosses are? As soon as you make a move, you will sponsor 2 million US dollars!
Rejecting his investment now is equivalent to rejecting how many dollars......
"So, what about the good news?" Ren Wencheng asked tremblingly.
