Hk072 Brain-Damaged Kodak, Canon Arrives

In the Green Lake Hotel, the three representatives of the Patriot Company glared at Mu Shuang at the same time, hoping that Mu Shuang would give a reasonable explanation! Why would the Lycra company of the Will Country buy the source code of the smile detection program for only $500,000. They, the Patriot company, need two million dollars?

Shi Lei and Ling Yumo also looked at Mu Shuang strangely, not understanding why Mu Shuang treated them differently.

Mu Shuang sat upright in the chair, with a calm face and a calm tone: "Lycra, only the source code of the smile detection program and Xia Guo's patent license. Therefore, we only charge them half a million dollars. However, We are going to sell the patent rights of the smile detection program to you, Patriot, 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. Therefore, Zhong Muyuan shouted: "We don't want any patent rights, we only need source code and patent authorization!"

Mu Shuang showed a shallow smile, "Mr. Zhong, are you sure you don't want patent rights?"[

The technician Lao Xiao opened his mouth to remind Zhong Muyuan, but he didn't speak.

"Ms. Mu, I'm sure! As long as the source code, plus the patent license, is $500,000?" Zhong Muyuan asked directly without thinking about it.

Mu Shuang nodded, "Yes, it only needs half a million dollars. However, I can give you a day to think about it, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

Zhong Muyuan originally wanted to say that he would sign the contract now, but Lao Xiao finally couldn't help it and gave him a wink by pulling the corner of Zhong Muyuan's clothes.

"Oh, thank you, Ms. Mu, we'll think about it!"

The three of Shi Lei and the two from Lycra returned to the small conference room they rented. After negotiation, Mu Shuang and William signed a preliminary agreement of intent.

Among them, it is clearly stipulated that Leica can use the source code of the smile detection program, and also carry out the second development, but cannot disclose the source code to the outside world. Shi Lei needed to provide technical support to help Leica integrate the smile detection program into Leica's digital camera system.

After signing the preliminary agreement of intent, Shi Lei brought up the Shuangqing University campus software competition to William, hoping that William would use the official name of Leica to send an application letter to Shuangqing University and become a judge of the campus software competition.

William listened to the story and expressed great interest that there was no problem, and the two parties agreed that the license contract for the smile detection program would be officially signed when the results of the software competition were announced!

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief after the matter of the Leica Company was settled. He was about to bring Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang to return to school when the head of the Kodak negotiation team, George, called Shi Lei again and invited Shi Lei to attend the school. Green Lake Hotel to discuss.

Shi Lei and Ling Yumo directly went to the conference hall rented by Kodak to start a new round of negotiations.

In the conference hall, the head of Kodak, George Black, was holding a thick stack of documents. When Shi Lei walked in, Captain George said politely, "Mr. Shi, you're here so soon!"

Shi Lei didn't hide it, and said directly: "I came to the Cuihu Hotel this morning. In the morning, I was negotiating with the Lycra Company of the Will Country, and in the afternoon, it was our Patriot Company of the Xia Country."

Captain George frowned, and his assistant Mike couldn't help but said: "Mr. Shi, we have a question, why is the patent owner of the smile detection program Sony?"

Shi Lei raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Mike, I need to correct a mistake. The Xia Guo patent right of the smile detection program belongs to us, not Sony. In addition, our smile detection program is far superior to Sony's. !"

Mike snorted coldly: "Mr. Shi, why didn't you say it when you first negotiated?"

"Mr. Mike, with all due respect, if it is a global patent, how much do you think the smile detection program is worth?" Shi Lei asked Mike at once!

Once the smile detection program is released, 99.999 percent of cameras, as well as the vast majority of mobile phone cameras in future generations, will be equipped with this program.

Such a huge amount of usage is just the patent licensing fee, which is an astronomical amount! How can it be so cheap? [

"Mr. Shi, if it's just Xia Guo's patent rights and the source code of the smile detection program, our Kodak company can only bid $50,000 at most!" Captain George frowned.

Shi Lei's face stiffened, fifty thousand dollars? Is Kodak sending beggars?

Even Mu Shuang couldn't help showing a smile!

"Captain George, you Kodak are not sincere at all!" Shi Lei couldn't hold back his disgust and sneered.

George Black said solemnly: "Mr. Shi, we Kodak are very sincere, and 50,000 US dollars is not a lot, equivalent to your Xia Guo currency, a full 400,000! Mr. Shi, 400,000 Xia Guo currency is enough for you to buy around the school. A property!"

Shi Lei chuckled. It turned out that Kodak had investigated his identity. Did they think they were students? It is no wonder that in 2012, this century-old giant in the photography industry collapsed suddenly and declared bankruptcy!

From their attitude towards new technologies, it can be seen that this enterprise is old-fashioned and decadent!

"Captain George, keep your fifty thousand dollars!" Shi Lei stood up, ready to announce the termination of the negotiation.

George made his last effort and said: "Mr. Shi, most of the patents for the smile detection program are in the hands of Sony, they will not let you master Xia Guo's patents, and will definitely harass you through judicial channels! If you are willing to transfer Xia Guo's patent rights to Kodak, we are willing to pay $100,000!"

Shi Lei couldn't help it, he laughed out loud. Kodak, let him down!

Originally, Shi Lei was most willing to cooperate with Kodak. This century-old company has a great influence in the entire Xia Kingdom, saying, "Share the moment, share the life." ’ It is even more widely known in the Xia Kingdom!

It's just a pity that Kodak is a little stingy after all and doesn't pay too much attention to new technologies! This also buried the tragic ending that Kodak finally declared bankruptcy!

"Captain George, we still have something to do, let's make an appointment next time to negotiate!" Shi Lei left Kodak a last bit of face, and he didn't say that it was impossible.

Captain George had a regretful expression, "Mr. Shi, it's a pity, we are ready to return to the country of Lijian, I wish you good luck!"

Shi Lei took the two beauties and walked out of the conference hall without looking back!

In the elevator, Ling Yumo pouted and said, "Stone monster, people from Kodak are so annoying!"

Mu Shuang agreed: "A century-old world enterprise, they have their arrogance, but they haven't realized their own hidden crisis!"

Shi Lei was slightly startled, could it be that Mu Shuang is so powerful? Can you measure the failure of Kodak?

"Mu Shuang, what's the problem with 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 film! Kodak can't let go of its past glory and will be eliminated!"

Shi Lei was shocked! Is Mu Shuang's business vision really that powerful?

"I see!"[

The three walked out of the Cuihu Hotel and were about to take a taxi back to Shuangqing University when Shi Lei's cell phone rang again.

After the connection was made, a wretched voice came over. "Excuse me, is it Shi Lei-jun? I'm the representative of Canon, Ichiro Inu!"

Inu Ichiro's Xia Guoyu is very non-standard, and Shi Lei understands 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 Cuihu Hotel, then wait for them and try to finish the conversation today!

Inu Ichiro asked Matsushita Kuyoko, the translator beside him, in Japanese, "Kuyoko, where is this place?"

Matsushita Kudaiko is a young woman who looks a little pretty. She looked at Ichiro Inu with a charming smile, and said ingratiatingly: "Little Inu, this is Shuangqing University, we need about five minutes to arrive at the Cuihu Hotel. ."

Inu Ichiro directly handed the phone to Matsushita Kudaizi and said, "Kudaizi, tell that Chinese person, we will arrive at the Green Lake Hotel immediately, and let them go to the Green Lake Hotel as well!"

Shi Lei heard it clearly on the phone. Shi Lei is proficient in Japanese and speaks fluent Japanese!

It's just that Shi Lei, like William, clearly understands the other party's language, but pretends not to.

Matsushita Kudaizi answered the phone and said coquettishly, "Hello Shi Leijun, I am the translator for the Canon delegation, my name is Matsushita Kudaizi. We are about to arrive at the Green Lake Hotel, and I hope Shi Leijun will be able to rush as well. Go to the Green Lake Hotel, and we will discuss the smile detection procedure as soon as possible."

Shi Lei responded: "Miss Kudaizi, we are already at the Cuihu Hotel, waiting for your arrival at any time!"

A few minutes later, a black commercial car parked in front of the Cuihu Hotel, and a short, squat, wretched man who was less than 1.6 meters tall, got down from the back seat. Immediately afterwards, a woman about 1.65 meters got out of the car. Then, two men in formal suits with serious expressions got out of the car from the co-pilot and the back seat respectively.

The short, fat and ugly, who is less than one meter six, is the dog Ichiro. He hugged Matsushita Kuyoko's waist and pinched Matsushita Kuyoko's soft waist very irregularly, but Matsushita Kuyoko looked like he was enjoying it. It feels unspeakably awkward!

Although Ichiro Koinu is short, fat and ugly, he is himself the deputy director of Canon's public relations department, and his family owns a lot of shares in Canon's company!

This time, when he came to Xia to negotiate, he should not have sent Dwarf Fat Chou, but Dwarf Fat Chou argued for it, thinking that the mere pariah of Xia State was not worth fighting for, so he might as well go, and only then did he win the status of the negotiating team leader.

Fortunately, Canon is not a brain-dead, and sent two technical experts to follow the short fat ugly.

The short fat ugly hugged Kudaizi Matsushita. When he walked into the lobby of the Cuihu Hotel, he immediately looked at Ling Yumo and Mu Shuang with bright eyes, and his eyes were full of wretchedness!
