Chapter 652 He Is a Liar

"My technology can increase the data reading speed of computers by 5%. IBM is also considering acquiring my patent, so I cannot accept a price below one million dollars."

"Mr. Geer, we think $80,000 is a reasonable price."

"Deal."

"."

As interns, Li Ye and Wen Leyu sat in a corner of the conference room and listened silently. They watched each other boasting that their inventions could reshuffle the computer industry, but after Jeff's brief offer, they immediately stopped.

Wen Leyu wrote a few words on the paper and pushed it in front of Li Ye.

[Why do you look a bit like a liar? ]

Li Ye calmly wrote a few words and pushed it back to Wen Leyu.

[When the fishing net is cast, we don't know how big the fish under the water are, but if we don't cast the net, there will never be any fish. ]

After reading it, Wen Leyu pursed her lips and kept silent.

But Li Ye analyzed from her slightly frowned brows that the little girl was distressed.

After all, Wen Leyu contributed a large part of the initial capital of this venture capital company. Most of the original tens of millions of royalties were taken away at once. Wen Leyu, who was used to being frugal, would be worried.

In addition, Wen Leyu went to school and lived with Li Ye for these years. She was a little too dependent on Li Ye. If Li Ye promised to make money, Wen Leyu would trust Li Ye unconditionally, but now, she must learn to bear this pressure by herself.

However, even if there is only one Cisco company as a foundation, Wen Leyu's small purse will be bulging by then. This process is also a kind of good tempering for her.

"Mr. Li, there is one last project. Can we discuss it quickly?"

Jeff sent Mr. Geer away, and then discussed the last project with Li Ye. This project was also recommended by Jeff after selection, but whether to invest in the end still requires the consent of all partners.

Now that Pei Wencong is not here, Li Ye has replaced his rights.

Li Ye flipped through the project report again: "Okay, I basically have no objection. Jeff, do you think $200,000 is a suitable price?"

Jeff smiled and said, "I think the lower the better."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Jeff, you are an excellent negotiator. It's up to you next."

Jeff smiled and asked his secretary to invite the visitor in.

As soon as the other party came in, Li Ye wanted to tell Jeff that $200,000 was too hasty.

Because the visitor had black skin and flaxen hair, he looked like a white elephant at first glance.

Li Ye knew that there were many white elephants in Silicon Valley. After all, "IC" was originally the abbreviation of integrated circuits, but in Silicon Valley, it became the abbreviation of white elephants (Indian) and flower growers (Chinese).

But the name "Pandit" on the project book did not make Li Ye realize the other party's identity.

Also, although Li Ye was a non-racist, given that there were too many weirdos on the white elephant side in later generations, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Just like someone said, "White Elephant people dare to brag about their abilities, do any business, take any blame, and do nothing."

With so many characteristics, it can't be all injustice, right?

"Mr. Pandit, the conditions we offer are already very generous. After all, your research is only in the laboratory and has not been patented."

"No, no, no, dear Mr. Jeff, it's not that I can't get a patent for my research, but I dare not publish my research results,

Because both Motorola and Alcatel are conducting research in digital wireless communications, and my technology is the core technology they urgently need. I believe Mr. Jeff also knows that a small company like us cannot resist plagiarism by industry giants."

"."

Li Ye looked at Pandit opposite him in shock, and turned the biological hard drive in his mind very fast, hoping to retrieve any information related to him.

Good guy, how much is the technology that can be plagiarized by Motorola? Is $200,000 enough for the down payment?

Li Ye did hear similar legends in his previous life.

For example, a small researcher invented a revolutionary patent, which attracted the attention of industry giants. Then, various means were used to snatch it openly and secretly, and finally the small researcher lost the lawsuit and had no way to seek justice.

But legends are legends after all. It is impossible for me to encounter them by chance, right?

In the mid-1980s, mobile phones were all analog signals, and research on digital signals was still in the exploratory stage. If there really was a technology that led the era, it would not be impossible to create a great company.

But Jeff was obviously more "stingy" than Li Ye. Facing Pandit's boasting, he was not moved at all. Not to mention $200,000, he would not give $100,000, and at most $50,000.

"Okay, okay! Let's not discuss this patent first,"

Pandit couldn't beat Jeff, and took out another document from his bag.

"I heard that you are also interested in the achievements in computer software. I happen to have a computer operating system that is comparable to Microsoft's Windows"

"."

Li Ye threw away the project book in his hand helplessly, and completely lost any interest.

Microsoft just released Windows 1.0 two months ago, and now you say you have similar software. Can you brag even more?

In his previous life, Li Ye heard from some people that Baixiang's IT industry was world-leading and Baixiang's IT talents were top-notch in the world. He was skeptical and thought that Baixiang's computer technology was far ahead!

Later, he met a middle-aged programmer who retired from a large company and found out what they meant by world-leading.

Baixiang was far ahead in the field of international software outsourcing business.

The so-called international outsourcing business was the behavior of the researcher with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan from the Lighthouse, who spent 50,000 US dollars to outsource the work to the researcher from the mainland Heilongjiang Province.

The middle-aged programmer said that if the researcher from the Lighthouse found the right way and threw the work to the Baixiang programmer, maybe 20,000 US dollars would be enough.

It's not that Baixiang programmers are not valuable, but the development of the IT industry in Baixiang is not a little weaker than that in the mainland.

After 2000, the IT industry in the mainland entered a 20-year rocket development period, and any programmer with a little ability could get a six-digit annual salary.

Outsourcing business is all about peeling off layers of skin. Mainland programmers can earn tens of thousands of dollars, so why do they still compete with white elephant programmers for a few thousand dollars?

Over time, international outsourcing companies no longer look for mainland technicians.

It's not that mainland programmers can't afford it, but that San Ge is more cost-effective.

Anyway, it's all work to deal with official business. Even if San Ge hands over a pile of shitty programs, as long as it doesn't crash at the time, it's fine.

After all, you just paid for curry, do you expect a five-star chef to serve you a plate of palace tofu?

"Mr. Li, do you think there is a problem?"

Jeff saw Li Ye throwing the information and asked in a low voice.

Li Ye glanced at Pandit, and suddenly turned to look at Wen Leyu: "Xiao Yu, do you think he is a liar?"

Wen Leyu had been staring at Pandit's eyes, and now nodded and said: "No, he is a liar."

"."

"Mr. Pandit, let's talk next time."

"What? No, no, no, I can actually accept a price of 50,000 US dollars."

"."

"Thirty thousand is also fine."
