Chapter 152: Craig's Negotiating Capital
In fact, when Craig was still in the United States, he was engaged in a similar industry to the business he is doing now, which is also in the category of network and software development.
And he used the same despicable means in the United States to deceive a communication software from a company at a very low price.
Craig is very optimistic about the application prospects of this software in the future network market, because the biggest difference between this communication software and other communication software is that it can be directly embedded in online games.
Around 2000, China's Internet market was still in the early stage of development, but in developed countries like the United States, the Internet has been relatively popular, and even many players who play online games have begun to use instant messaging software to communicate online, but at this time in China, there are only a handful of instant messaging software that can be used on computers.
And the most important reason why Craig followed Daniel's advice to start this game company is that he has this communication software in his hands.
For him, this communication software is not only a killer feature in the online game market, but also a way back for him.
He originally wanted to develop to a certain scale in the Legend of Flying Stones, and at the right time, embed this communication software into the online game, but he didn't expect that this plan had not yet been implemented, and he was facing such an embarrassing situation today.
So his only choice now is to take this back road, take this software to negotiate with Ye Fei, let Ye Fei acquire his own Thor game company, and let himself have a place in Feishi Group in the name of shareholders.
When Daniel and Craig were classmates, Daniel knew that he was a calculating and intelligent man, but after hearing about his plan, he was still shocked by his cunning.
But Daniel came back to his senses and immediately asked: "However, why didn't you implement this plan some time ago, when we were at the height of competition with Feishi Network, if we had implemented this plan at that time, we might not have fallen into what we are today." ”
Craig sneered and said, "Hehe, you're right, but you have such an idea that only proves that you are not a qualified businessman, at least not a businessman with courage and courage." ”
"Why, you know that we can be the only one by doing this."
"If I had embedded this communication software in the Thor Legend before this, we might have gained a lot of online players, and even crushed the Feishi Network, but have you ever thought that if we can't knock down the Feishi Network at one time and give him a chance to breathe, then with the strength of Ye Fei's Feishi Group, how can you guarantee that he will not spend a lot of money to develop a communication software that is the same as ours or even surpasses us in the shortest possible time."
Daniel shook his head and sighed: "No, Craig, your idea is wrong, you shouldn't have such inflated ambitions, as Americans, it's good to be able to gain a foothold in the online game market in this country, but your idea is that you want to fight against the powerful Feishi Group on your own, which is unrealistic." ”
"What is reality and what is fantasy, I am different from you, because my Craig family has the courage to take risks engraved in their genes, not the cowardice of condescending to others."
After saying that, Craig also glanced at Daniel with disdain.
Daniel wanted to break out, but he knew that if he offended Craig at this time, he would never have a chance to gain a foothold in this company again, so he could only swallow his anger.
"So what do you want to do now?"
Craig took out a delicate lockbox from the safe at this time and put it on the table and said: "Daniel, this is the last chance for you to make up for it, I need you to take this software to negotiate with Ye Fei, if the negotiation is successful, then the benefits I give you will make you enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of your life, but if you fail to negotiate this time, then I'm sorry, I don't want to see you again, you can go back to the United States." ”
Daniel stared at the lockbox and asked, "...... here?" Is this the source code of the messaging software you are talking about? ”
Craig gave Daniel a vicious look, then sneered, "Haha, Daniel, you don't think I'm stupid enough to put the source code of such an important piece of software in your hands." ”
With that, Craig opened the lockbox in front of Daniel.
I saw that there was a hard disk used to store data in the lockbox, but there was also a laptop under the hard drive.
Craig just took the laptop out and quickly closed the lockbox again.
"The beta version of this communication software has been installed in this laptop, you just need to take this laptop to meet Ye Fei and demonstrate it in front of him."
In fact, the moment Craig opened the lockbox, Daniel did have a trace of evil thoughts in his heart.
He thought that if he had the source code of this software in hand, he could get rid of Craig and negotiate with Ye Fei himself, even if he sold the source code of this software directly to Ye Fei, and then went away with a huge amount of money, it was much better than being a dog by Craig's side now.
However, for Craig, he knows Daniel's character too well, so he will always be on guard against Daniel, and it is impossible for him to have access to the source code of the software.
Daniel could only swallow his saliva, then gritted his teeth and said, "I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity. ”
Then, Daniel licked his face and dialed Niu Ping's phone.
But when he proposed on the phone that he wanted to come to Haijin City to meet Ye Fei, he directly laughed at Niu Ping.
"Hehe, Daniel, have you forgotten your own identity, how can we Ye always be a villain like you who can be seen when you say it, in addition, I am also very curious how you have the face to say this, the matter of stealing our source code did not settle accounts with you, you should be secretly happy, you know?"
When he said this, in fact, Ye Fei thought that Craig had abandoned Daniel now, so Daniel wanted to continue working for Feishi Network, so he was full of disgust.
But Daniel explained: "No, I see that Mr. Ye doesn't want to express his apologies, but wants to talk to you about cooperation, because I now have something in my hand that you should be very interested in." ”
Niu Ping wanted to hang up his phone immediately, but after thinking about it, he still felt that this kind of thing should not be decided by himself, because he felt that if Daniel dared to say this, then the things in his hands must have some value.
