Chapter 191 The business experience of a layman
When Shuoyuan Software Development Co., Ltd. was first established, no one would care about a small company formed by Lin Bo and two college students.
As soon as this small company was established, it launched a timekeeping and billing software that was not favored at the time. For this reason, Fu Minglan, vice president of Longxin Technology and general manager of the planning department, also made a special trip to this heavyweight employee of the technical department who was wronged and fired by the company to negotiate whether he could purchase the copyright of this timekeeping and billing software.
Obviously, that cooperation was not negotiated.
Because Longxin Technology wants to purchase full copyright, it invested 500,000 yuan. In essence, Longxin Technology has no big investment tendency for this software that is excellent but not very good at technical content. What's more, the timing billing software is exclusive to Internet cafes and does not have a wider and more popular customer base. The reason for wanting to buy this software is that by using the binding and sales of this software and computer system, it will promote Longxin Computer to all Internet cafes and potential customer groups that are interested in opening Internet cafes across the country.
In Longxin Technology's view, the price of 500,000 is already very high, and it can be said with a high sound that this is because Lin Bo once took the blame for the company, he pityed him and helped him.
But in Lin Bo and Wen Shuo's opinion, Longxin Technology is simply a bully!
However, when it comes to business, the focus of both parties is of course on their own interests, so the transaction is not successful... At least on the surface, the cooperation has not been negotiated, but the two parties have only had two contact negotiations, which is relatively relaxed and pleasant.
The successful research of the one-card system was limited by the strength of its own small company. After discussion, Wen Shuo, Huang Qinzhi and Lin Bo decided to try to find larger software or electronic technology companies to cooperate in production and sales.
Wen Shuo entrusted Ma Youcheng to help ask if there are any companies interested in this;
Lin Bo simply announced the news in the circle where he had been in Zhongguancun for several years, hoping that those who intend to cooperate would come to negotiate.
Although Lin Bo's personal social skills and business acumen are poor, under the current social context, the high development of the T industry and its unique business model doomed this circle to make many laymen unable to understand, and many experts who can transcend the laymen pay more attention to the news about Lin Bo's technical elite. After all, he not only has rich work experience and considerable technical standards, but also has the creativity, quality and sales of the timekeeping and billing software. Therefore, when Lin Bo posted the news of seeking cooperation in the circle, in just a few days, three companies called invitations and then sat down to negotiate cooperation matters.
However, the more interested companies, the heavier the mood of Wen Shuo and Lin Bo is.
Because they now have the cooperation conditions of these companies are quite harsh - Shuoyuan Company can only invest in patents and has no management rights in the production and sales of the "One Card System". After the "One Card System" is officially launched, Shuoyuan Company does not bear any commercial risks, and obtains a 4% share of the equity interest of the "One Card System" net profit in the quarter, with the highest being only 8%.
In fact, from a purely business perspective, the cooperation conditions given by several companies are not harsh or not, and are not even low.
At least, Longxin Technology's sincerity is enough, especially the patent is directly bought with three million yuan in cash, which is enough to defeat most of its competitors.
Longxin Technology is determined to win the patent for the one-card system.
When we learned about the "one card system" developed by Shuoyuan Company, unlike other companies, Longxin Technology has already seen a broader market prospect, as well as more advanced and higher-tech product benefits derived from the "one card system".
In the late 1990s and early new century, there was a very strange phenomenon in the booming development of the T industry: it was because the development was so fast that there were too many miracles in this industry. Sometimes a small idea, a small and extremely simple software, may create unlimited wealth. Therefore, even people in the circle will sometimes be dazzled by the rapid pace and think about it.
Fu Minglan and senior officials of Longxin Technology, even if they know that the "one card system" may not be too complicated, they can also develop it with the strength of Longxin Technology. However, Shuoyuan Company has applied for a patent. No well-known company will be willing to choose to sue a small company in the option of paying an affordable price and carrying the blame for pirated and plagiarism. The loss of brand awareness is too high. Of course, it mainly depends on how much profit is. Moreover, when developing products similar to the "one card system", God knows how long it will take. If other companies take the lead, then all market prospects can be derived from more product value... can only be imagined.
By directly purchasing the patent of the "one card system" or holding the patent of the "one card system" in a cooperative manner, you can master the first market advantages of this patent system in the shortest time, simultaneously upgrade the "one card system", and based on this, develop more and more high-tech related products.
The senior management of Longxin Technology looks at problems and markets, and they look at them quickly and accurately!
Of course, it's not just them who see it correctly...
In fact, many T-industry companies around the world have already had similar products, but the product positioning has not yet been extended to serving the public's convenient consumption. With the emergence of the "one-card system", some visionary people who learned about this product in advance have either clearly or vaguely realized the market prospects of this product.
For example, when Wen Shuo, Lin Bo and Fu Minglan were having a meal and talking about cooperation, a middle-aged man sitting opposite Scutellaria Baicalensis in a high-end restaurant not far from them.
"Well, this product is good." Huang Shen smiled and said, "Maybe, I can cooperate with your company."
"Dad..." Huang Qinzhi pouted and said, "I don't want to cooperate with you."
"Qin Zhi, you know that dad has always respected you, so this time I really want to cooperate with your company purely from a business perspective." Huang Shen smiled, his expression and tone, but his sincerity was revealed.
