David has had a hard time lately, as the head of Microsoft's product development department, he has been in charge of the development of video software for nearly half a year, if this software can be interviewed, it will definitely be a qualitative leap for Microsoft, they can increase the market share of the operating system through bundling, so that they can completely throw off their competitors, so as to dominate.

At this moment, David was standing in Gates's office with his head bowed and listening to the boss's lecture, only to hear Gates say: "David, I just want to see results!" Even if your semi-finished products are stolen by hackers, can't you quickly pick yourself up and continue your efforts? It's been half a year, I haven't seen anything decent, who should pay for the company's huge investment of money?! ”

David was a little unbalanced in his heart: Since you know that our results have been stolen by hackers, you still say such things? It's not that we don't work hard, it's just that all the relevant information has been swept away by that hacker! We can only start from scratch now, isn't it embarrassing for you to say these things now?

Who stole David's R&D? The answer is the elf, when the elf wandered alone in the online world, it would take it unceremoniously when it saw something it liked, and it was taken away along with all the documents, it can be said that it was swept cleanly, and there was not even a single hair left everywhere it went.

This incident triggered a joint protest by major computer companies, including Microsoft, Gates as the boss of Microsoft, knows a lot about it, but he can't help it, Microsoft is not having a good time now, they have just broken with IBM and Apple, losing these two big customers, Microsoft's market share will plummet, if they can't launch epoch-making new products, I'm afraid they will be thrown away by competitors.

Seeing David bow his head and be silent, Gates felt a little uncomfortable, David has been with him for many years, and he still wants to be appeased, only to see him sigh and say: "Alas, David, I just spoke in a bit heavy tone, but please understand my difficulties, we have a huge disagreement with IBM and Apple, if we don't fight hard, we will lose everything in the near future, maybe this time next year you and I will become poor." ”

David sighed when he heard this, and then said: "Zhilu said boss, I will work overtime to continue to develop video software, Microsoft also has my hard work in it, I won't watch her fall!" ”

Hearing this, Gates nodded and said, "Well, you go get busy, remember to pay attention to your body." ”

David walked out of Gates's office and soon came to the development department, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, the development department was still busy, seeing the programmers so engaged, David felt a little comforted, he sat down in front of his computer, and began to do the instruction work.

After about ten minutes, David suddenly noticed that a line appeared on his computer: "I have a video software in my hand, are you interested?" ”

David was stunned for a moment, and in an instant he understood: this is a hacker! Damn hackers, it's here again! - Wait, he's got video software? It can't be the one that was stolen from us, is it? But that software hasn't been written, so what's going on?

Davy wanted to find out, so he replied at the bottom of the dialog box, "Who are you?" ”

"Your question is stupid, if I were you, I would definitely want to see the performance of this software first."

David was stunned when he saw the other party's reply, and then he typed, "Would you like me to see your software?" ”

"That's no problem, I'll send you the software now, you can take a look at it first, and I'll come back in half an hour."

Not long after the other party sent this message, David's computer screen showed the option to receive the file, Davy did not hesitate to click "receive", three minutes later, the file transfer was completed, and then David began to analyze the software.

After less than two minutes, David was dumbfounded, and all he could say was "Oh Maiga"!

Originally, David thought that the video software given by the other party was a half-finished product stolen from them, but after watching it, he realized that he was very wrong, and this software had no resemblance to the half-finished product they had stolen before! Its performance is nothing short of perfect!

After sitting for a while, David got up and rushed to Gates's office, and a few minutes later, Gates followed the excited David to the technology development department, and after taking a detailed look at the software, Gates was also dumbfounded, only to see his eyes wide open in disbelief and said, "Oh my God...... It was just perfect! ”

Gates is also a master programmer, and of course he knows the superiority of this software, and what makes him most satisfied is that this software is compatible with Microsoft's operating system!

Gates is a very ambitious person, he has been fighting for Microsoft to become the world's largest software company, and when he saw this software, he felt that it was not a big deal to fall out with IBM and Apple just - it doesn't matter if you don't want to cooperate with me, there will be other companies to work with me!

In this era, computers have been quite popular in the United States, in order to meet the taste of the people, the major computer companies can be said to do their best, who can get the love of the people, who can occupy the absolute share of the computer market, video software has this ability - the same computer, one can play audio and video files, the other does not have this function, which one will you choose?

Gates looked excited, but after a moment he wondered, "David, didn't you say that everything had to start from scratch?" So where did this software come from? ”

David was excited just now, and he didn't mention this, but when he heard Gates ask, he told him what happened, and Gates was silent for a moment after listening, and then said, "It seems that the other party wants to sell us this software." ”

Hearing this, David nodded and said, "I think so, boss, how much do you want to spend to buy it?" ”

Gates was silent for a moment, and then said, "This needs to be negotiated, huh...... As long as it doesn't cost more than $5 million, we can accept it. ”

The two of them then waited in front of the computer, and after more than ten minutes, the mysterious figure reappeared: "I guess you have already learned the performance of this software in detail, right?" What do you think? ”

As the boss of Microsoft, Gates was naturally in charge of the negotiations, and I saw him typing: "We are very satisfied, I wonder if Your Excellency wants to sell it to us?" ”

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have made it compatible with the Windows system, do you think of a price?"

"How much do you want to sell?"

"How about 10 million dollars?"

Seeing that the other party offered a high price of $10 million, Gates immediately replied: "This is too expensive, after all, this is not an operating system, although it is very good, it is impossible to sell for so much money." ”

"Hehe, what's the highest price you can give? Don't be too stingy, if you think this software can only be sold to Microsoft, you're very wrong, I have other versions, and it won't be too difficult for me to make it compatible with other operating systems. ”

Not to mention, Gates really has such an idea, he thinks that since this software is compatible with the Windows operating system, it should only be sold to Microsoft, originally Gates also wanted to use this to reduce the price, but when he saw the other party's words, he was a little unsure, and after a while he typed: "So, let's give a price of one million dollars, what do you think?" ”

"You're not kidding, are you? Want to buy it for a million dollars? It seems that your sincerity is not enough, so let's do it, I'll give you the last chance to make a bid, and if you don't satisfy me, I won't show up again. ”

Gates thought for a moment when he saw this, then he gritted his teeth and typed, "Okay, you win, we'll pay five million dollars for this software, friend, this is the highest price we give, even if you sell it to another company, you can't exceed this price." ”

It took a while for Gates to send a message before the other party replied: "Okay, this deal is closed, I'll send you the source code of this software now, you can check it, if there is no doubt, please transfer the money to this account." ”

For a software, the source code is the most important, the sale between software ownership is actually the purchase and sale between the source code, even if the person who wrote the software, after handing over the source code, he will lose absolute control over the software, and the other party can modify the source code to firmly control the software.

David knew this very well, he made a small calculation at the moment, and only heard him say to Gates: "Boss, we can not pay after we get the source code, as long as the source code is modified, this software is ours, anyway, he has not applied for a patent." ”

As soon as David finished saying this, the other party sent out this message: "Of course, you can refuse to pay after you get the source code, but I want to remind you that there are many vulnerabilities in your Windows operating system, and if I release the vulnerabilities in my hands, your losses will definitely exceed the value of this software!" ”

This is a threat from Chi Guoguo, although I don't know what vulnerabilities the other party has mastered in the Windows operating system, but Gates didn't dare to try it easily, only to see him reply: "Don't worry, we are a big company with a reputation guarantee, and we will not do such a backsliding thing." ”

Fifteen minutes later, Feng Xiaotian sat in front of the computer and stared at his UBS account, this account was just handled by him as an American, looking at the five million US dollars that appeared in the account, Feng Xiaotian suddenly felt that it was not difficult to make money, from the time he started to write this software to now, it only took two days, if converted into RMB, it is equivalent to his daily income of more than 15 million!

After sitting for a while, Feng Xiaotian came up with this thought: Microsoft's money is easy to make, well, continue!
