Chapter 46 Interview
James returned to the Empression City Hotel with exhaustion. When he wanted to take out the key and open the door, a group of people suddenly walked out of the room next to him.
"Is it Mr. James?"
Zhou Fulin specially wore Chow Yun-fat's outfit in the movie God of Gambling, combed her big back, and a black suit on her white shirt and a toothpick in her mouth. However, her domineering outfit and his short and fat figure were really inappropriate.
James stood in front of Jessica vigilantly, looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhou Fulin shook his shoulders and retreated his suit. Someone hurriedly took it behind him and put it away.
He laughed and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Mr. James, let me know Fulin Zhou. My dad is the chairman of Fulin Group. I want to talk to you about some business matters."
James shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what business we can negotiate. Please leave, or I'll call the police."
"Mr. James, don't refuse people like this, thousands of miles away. Please see my sincerity!" Zhou Fulin said, snapping his fingers, and someone came up from behind and opened a suitcase.
James looked down and saw piles of RMB inside. He frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
Zhou Fulin said with a smile: "It's not interesting, it's just the meaning."
James asked without understanding: "What does it mean?"
Zhou Fulin scratched his head and said, "Actually, there is no other meaning..."
James said, "You are so interesting!"
...
Jessica listened to the two of them’s conversation and asked Farrell next to her, “Ferrell, is James talking about a talk show?”
Farrell swallowed, shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know, I'm dizzy!"
After a while, James saw that he had gone over and over again and said impatiently: "Okay, I'm not interested in continuing to play this boring game with you. I'll say it again, please leave, or I'll call the police!"
Zhou Fulin waved his hand and the person holding the suitcase stepped back. He said helplessly: "Okay, Mr. James. My purpose is very simple. I hope Microsoft can choose Fulin Group as the purchasing target for X-architecture keyboards."
James was stunned and waved his hand and said, "If it were this, I advise you not to waste your energy. This is impossible. Mr. Zhou Shuo owns all patents of X-architecture keyboards, and Microsoft will not infringe on other people's patents."
"Hi!" Zhou Fulin shook his head indifferently and spread his hands and said, "Mr. James, in China, we don't talk about patents or patents. Anyway, I produce them, so you can buy them. Who can still go to the United States and care about your affairs?"
James raised his hand to prevent him from approaching and said, "Sorry, we are going into the room. Maybe you really don't care about patents, but in the United States, things are different." After that, he pushed open the door and protected Jessica and Farrell into the room.
When James saw the two people entering the room, he backed up and said, "If there is nothing else, please go back."
Zhou Fulin supported himself, broke through James' block and pushed the door open, saying proudly: "What if I could get the patent?"
"That's not..." James said halfway, and suddenly changed his words: "If you can get a patent, Microsoft will consider negotiating supply with you on the X-architecture keyboard."
Zhou Fulin took back his hand, nodded and smiled, "Then please wait for good news for Microsoft."
James looked him up and down, nodded and said, "I wish you success."
James closed the door and Jessica asked in confusion: "Boss, have we signed a keyboard supply contract with Principal Zhou? Why did you agree to this person's request?"
James shook his head and said, "If Zhou Shuo is at ease to be a supplier, of course there is no problem. But instant communication technology is very important. If his supply contract can be breached, it will be beneficial for Microsoft."
Jessica shook her head and spread her hands and said, "You men's minds are so complicated..."
A software transfer fee of $1.2 million is a great asset, both in the United States and in China. Of course, in China, its moving magic may be more powerful than the United States.
The news of millions of dollars is like wings. I don’t know who was originally spreading from. First, the teachers in the vocational high school knew, then the entire Xiucheng education system knew, and then the civil servants in the government said word by word. Gradually, plausible rumors began to become popular in society.
The last incident even alarmed the reporter of Xiucheng Daily.
That day, Zhou Shuo had just come out of the school. With a creaking sound, a Xiali stopped in front of him. Xiali's car door opened, and a woman wearing a lady's suit and had short hair walked out of the car and stopped him.
The woman said in nice Mandarin: "Hello, is it Principal Zhou?"
Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "I am, who are you? Are you asking me for trouble?"
The woman stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "I am a reporter from Xiucheng Daily. My name is Ye Weiran. I want to interview Principal Zhou. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"
Zhou Shuo shook hands with her gently. Ye Weiran was not bad, and could even be said to be very beautiful. She was tall and graceful. The most important thing was the confidence that she could control her, and she exuded a heroic and neat atmosphere all over her body.
Of course he would not refuse the rare beauty invited me: "I don't know what reporter Ye wants to interview me? I have time."
Ye Weiran raised his chin slightly, looking a little strong. She said in a sure tone: "Just talk at school, it won't take you too long."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuo turned to the side and made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Reporter Ye, please come in, welcome!"
Ye Weiran stepped out his long legs and walked into the school first. Zhou Shuo scratched his head and followed her. The two walked to the playground and sat down on a gardening prop on a stone table and bench.
Ye Weiran took out a piece of paper and pen from his bag, opened the notepad and said, "I heard that Principal Zhou sold a piece of software to Microsoft in the United States and received a reward of 1.2 million US dollars. Is it true?"
Zhou Shuo had long thought that it would be this matter, so he nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed $1.2 million."
The reason why he earned a penny of $1.2 million was due to the blessing of the tax-sharing reform in 1994. The central government collected the financial power, and the Interim Regulations on Value-added Taxation stipulated that zero tax rates were implemented for export products. This year was also the happiest year for exporters, because after 1995, the central government's tax reform was successful and the export tax rate was restored.
Ye Weiran asked curiously: "Can you talk in detail about how you got it?"
Zhou Shuo organized a language and said, "First of all, I must declare that this is not just my wealth. When I was a computer class teacher in the second high school, I organized a computer interest group. Later, I transferred to the first vocational high school and became the principal here. However, the students in the interest group still hoped to learn computer knowledge from me, so I led them to use their spare time to write a set of software during this summer vacation. Microsoft was interested in buying it, so I sold the software to them."
Ye Weiran's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he asked, "That is to say, this money is not just the fruits of your labor?"
Zhou Shuo nodded cautiously and said, "That's right, to be precise, it should be owned by me and all my students."
Ye Weiran held the pen excitedly and asked, "Then will you share the money to them?"
"Of course!" Zhou Shuo said firmly: "This is their legal labor income."
Ye Weiran wrote quickly and recorded all his words, shouting in his heart that this trip is worthwhile! How to distribute one million and two million US dollars? I believe that this topic alone can write a large report!
She then asked a few more questions, unable to hide her excitement, and hurriedly ended the interview.
Ye Weiran put away the paper and pen and said with a smile: "Principal Zhou is really the most noble person I have ever met. I will definitely report on your deeds!"
Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said seriously: "What I do is nothing. What I hope most is that reporter Ye can report more on the wealth brought by the software. This is a good thing that truly benefits the country and the people."
How can the IT industry prosper? This is a question that Zhou Shuo has been thinking about. Only by attracting more and more people to join the IT industry can it have a prospect of development. Borrowing the wisdom of future generations, he found a similar path - the promotion of online literature.
The online literature of the Chinese Internet is a special product that only exists in China. It is the ultimate result of the collision of policies, economy and network technology. In the promotion stage of online literature, if you want to attract more readers, you must have more books; if you want to have more books, you must have more authors.
How to attract more authors to join the ranks of online literature? The God-making plan can be said to be an indelible contribution. Generations of great gods have created one wealth myth after another. These wealth myths have attracted more and more authors to plunge into the online literature circle like moths flying into the fire.
Now Zhou Shuo wants to attract more talents and invest in the IT industry, he also needs to create a god. What kind of great god can be more impactful to millionaires under the age of 18 in 1994? What does it mean to reverse people's understanding and reverse the future of the industry?
"Principal Zhou, please do whatever you want, I will say goodbye first!" Ye Weiran couldn't wait to carry his bag and rode away.
"Let's go slowly, don't fall!" Zhou Shuo waved behind her and shouted.
The speed of the report was published was beyond imagination.
The next day, the front page headline of the Xiucheng Daily reported Zhou Shuo’s interview with the title "Twelve Underage Millions".
