Chapter 70

In the Green Lake Hotel, the three representatives of Patriot Company stared at Mu Shuang, hoping that Mu Shuang would give them a reasonable explanation! Why did Leica Company of the Willpower Nation only need to pay 055,555 USD for the source code of the smiley-face detection program? Why did Patriot Company need 7 million USD?

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

Mu Shuang sat upright in her chair, her expression calm. She said calmly, "Leica Company only needs the source code of the smiley-face detection program, as well as Xia's patent authorization. Therefore, we will only charge them 055,555 USD. However, we are prepared to sell the patent of the smiley-face detection program to Patriot Company, making you the owner of the patent. Therefore, you need to pay 7 million USD! "

Although Zhong Muyuan was smart, he was not a technician and did not understand patent rights. Therefore, Zhong Muyuan shouted, "We don't want any patent rights. We only want the source code and patent authorization!"

Mu Shuang smiled faintly. "Mr. Zhong, are you sure you don't want the patent rights?"

The technician, Lao Xiao, opened his mouth, wanting to remind Zhong Muyuan, but in the end, he did not speak.

"Ms. Mu, I'm sure! I only want the source code and patent authorization. Is it 055,555 USD? "Zhong Muyuan asked directly without hesitation.

Mu Shuang nodded. "That's right. Only 055,555 USD. However, I can give you a day to consider. We will talk again tomorrow! "

Zhong Muyuan wanted to sign the contract now, but Lao Xiao could not help but pull Zhong Muyuan's sleeve and give him a look.

"Oh, thank you, Ms. Mu. We will consider it carefully!"

Shi Lei and the other two from Leica Company returned to the small conference room they had rented. After a discussion, Mu Shuang and William signed a preliminary agreement.

It clearly stipulated that Leica Company could use the source code of the smiley-face detection program and develop it a second time. However, the source code could not be disclosed to the public. Shi Lei needed to provide technical support to help the Leica company integrate the smiley-face detection program into the digital camera system of the company.

After signing the preliminary agreement, Shi Lei mentioned Shuangqing University's campus software competition to William. He hoped that William would use the official name of Leica to send an application letter to Shuangqing University to become a judge of the campus software competition.

When William heard the story, he was very interested and expressed that there was no problem. Moreover, both parties agreed that the authorization contract for the smiley-face detection program would be officially signed when the results of the software competition were announced!

After settling the matter with Leica Company, Shi Lei let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to bring Lingyumo and Mu Shuang back to school, the head of Kodak Company's negotiation team, George, called Shi Lei again to invite him to the Green Lake Hotel for a discussion.

Shi Lei and the two beauties, Lingyumo, went to the conference room rented by the Kodak Company to start a new round of negotiations.

In the conference room, the head of Kodak Company, George Black, was holding a thick stack of documents. When Shi Lei walked in, George said politely, "Mr. Shi, you are here so early!"

Shi Lei did not hide and said directly, "I came to the Green Lake Hotel this morning. In the morning, I was negotiating with Italy's Leica Company. In the afternoon, I will be meeting with Xia Xia's Patriot Company."

George frowned. His assistant, Mike, could not hold back his anger and said, "Mr. Shi, we have a question. Why is the patent of the smiley-face detection program owned by Sony?"

Shi Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Mike, I need to correct your mistake. The patent of the smiley-face detection program belongs to us and not Sony. Also, our smiley-face detection program is much better than Sony's! "

Mike snorted and said, "Mr. Shi, why didn't you say this at the beginning of the negotiation?"

"Mr. Mike, forgive me for being blunt. If it is a global patent, how much do you think the smiley-face detection program is worth?" Shi Lei's question stumped Mike!

After the smiley-face detection program was launched, 44.44% of the cameras and most of the mobile phone cameras in the future would be installed with this program.

With such high usage, just the patent licensing fees alone would be an astronomical figure! How could it be so cheap?

"Mr. Shi, if it is only Xia Xia's patent and the source code of the smiley-face detection program, we, Kodak Company, can only offer 05,555 USD!" George frowned.

Shi Lei's face froze. 05,555 USD? Was Kodak Company trying to get rid of a beggar?

Even Mu Shuang could not help but smile!

"Commander George, your Kodak Company is not sincere at all!" Shi Lei could not hold back his disgust and said sarcastically.

George Black said seriously, "Mr. Shi, our Kodak Company is very sincere. 05,555 USD is not a small amount. If it is converted to Xia Xia's currency, it would be 955,555 USD! Mr. Shi, 955,555 USD in Xia Xia's currency should be enough for you to buy a house near your school! "

Shi Lei laughed. So, Kodak Company had investigated his background. They thought he was a student and could be easily fooled? No wonder in the future, this company, which had been in the photography industry for more than 655 years, collapsed and declared bankruptcy!

From their attitude towards new technologies, Feng Yu could tell that this company was old-fashioned and corrupt!

"Commander George, keep your 05,555 USD!" Shi Lei stood up and was about to announce the end of the negotiation.

George made a last effort and said, "Mr. Shi, most of the patents for the smiley-face detection program are in the hands of Sony. They will not let you get your hands on Xia Xia's patent. They will use legal channels to harass you! If you are willing to transfer Xia Xia's patent to Kodak Company, we are willing to pay 655,555 USD! "

Shi Lei could not hold it in and laughed out loud. Kodak Company had disappointed him!

Originally, Shi Lei was most willing to work with Kodak Company. This company had been in Xia Xia for more than 655 years. They were very influential in Xia Xia.

But it was a pity that Kodak Company was too stingy. They did not pay much attention to new technologies! This also led to the tragic end of Kodak's bankruptcy!

"Commander George, we still have some matters to attend to. Let's meet again next time!" Shi Lei did not say that it was impossible for Kodak Company.

Commander George had a regretful look on his face and said, "Mr. Shi, it's a pity. We are preparing to return to Lijian Province. Good luck!"

Shi Lei walked out of the meeting room with the two beauties without looking back!

In the elevator, Lingyumo pouted and said, "Stone Monster, the people from Kodak Company are so annoying!"

Mu Shuang agreed and said, "A company with a hundred years of history. They have their pride. It's just that they have not realized the hidden danger they are facing!"

Shi Lei was shocked. Could it be that Mu Shuang was so smart? She could predict the downfall of Kodak Company?

"Mu Shuang, what's the danger of Kodak Company?" Shi Lei asked.

Mu Shuang glanced at Shi Lei and explained, "The future of photography belongs to the simpler digital camera, not the old film! Kodak Company cannot let go of its past glory. It will be eliminated! "

Shi Lei was shocked! Was Mu Shuang's business vision really that good?

"I see!"

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

When he answered, a vulgar voice came through. "Excuse me, is this Shi Lei -kun? I'm the representative of Canon Company, Koinu Ichiro! "

Koinu Ichiro's Chinese was not very fluent, and Shi Lei understood it with difficulty!

"I'm Shi Lei. Mr. Koinu, where are you now?" Shi Lei asked. If the other party was about to reach the Green Lake Hotel, he would wait for them and try to finish the discussion today!

Koinu Ichiro asked Matsushita Kuyoko in Japanese, "Kuyoko, where is this?"

Matsushita Kuyoko was a young woman who looked quite pretty. She looked at Koinu Ichiro with a charming smile and said, "Mr. Koinu, this is Shuangqing University. We will reach the Green Lake Hotel in about five minutes."

Koinu Ichiro passed the phone to Matsushita Kuyoko and said, "Kuyoko, tell the Chinese that we will reach the Green Lake Hotel soon. Tell them to go to the Green Lake Hotel as well!"

Shi Lei heard everything clearly on the phone. Shi Lei was proficient in Japanese and could speak it fluently!

However, Shi Lei was like William, pretending not to understand the other party's language even though he knew it.

Matsushita Kuyoko took the phone and said in a sweet voice, "Shi Lei -kun, hello. I'm Matsushita Kuyoko, the translator of Canon Company's representative. We are about to reach the Green Lake Hotel. I hope that Shi Lei -kun can also rush to the Green Lake Hotel. We will discuss the smiley-face detection program as soon as possible. "

Shi Lei replied, "Ms. Kuyoko, we are already at the Green Lake Hotel. We will be waiting for your arrival at any time!"

A few minutes later, a black business car stopped at the entrance of the Green Lake Hotel. A short, fat, and vulgar man who was less than 6.1 meters tall got out of the back seat. Then, a woman about 6.10 meters tall also got out of the car. Then, two men in formal suits with serious expressions got out of the car from the front passenger seat and the back seat respectively.

The short, fat, and ugly man who was less than 6.1 meters tall was Koinu Ichiro. He hugged Matsushita Kuyoko's waist and pinched her soft waist in an unruly manner. However, Matsushita Kuyoko looked like she was enjoying it. It was indescribably awkward!

Although Koinu Ichiro was short, fat, and ugly, he was the Deputy Director of the Public Relations Department of Canon Company. Moreover, his family owned a lot of shares in Canon Company!

This time, they should not have sent the short, fat, and ugly man to negotiate with Mr. Xia. However, the short, fat, and ugly man argued that it was not worth it to send the lowly commoners of Mr. Xia. Therefore, they might as well let him go. That was how he got the position of the negotiation team leader.

Fortunately, Canon Company was not stupid. They sent two technical experts to follow the short, fat, and ugly man.

When the short, fat, and ugly man walked into the Green Lake Hotel's lobby with Matsushita Kuyoko in his arms, he immediately looked at Lingyumo and Mu Shuang with a perverted look in his eyes!
