Chapter 582

"This technology of mine can increase the data reading speed of computers by five percent, and IBM is also considering acquiring my patent, so I cannot accept a price lower than one million dollars..."

"Mr. Gell, we think eighty thousand dollars is a reasonable price."

"Deal."

"..."

Li Ye and Wen Leyu, as interns, sat in the corner of the conference room and listened silently, watching the other party brag about how their invention could reshuffle the computer industry, but after Jeff's brief offer, they immediately accepted it when they saw it was good.

Wen Leyu wrote a few words on paper and pushed it to Li Ye.

【How does it look a bit like a liar?】

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

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

After Wen Leyu read it, she pursed her little mouth and didn't make a sound.

But from her slightly furrowed brows, Li Ye analyzed that the little girl was feeling distressed.

After all, Wen Leyu contributed a large part of the initial capital for this venture capital company; originally, most of the tens of millions of manuscript fees were drawn away, so it's no wonder that Wen Leyu, who is used to frugality, is worried.

Another thing is that Wen Leyu has been going to school and living with Li Ye for these years, and she has become overly dependent on Li Ye; if Li Ye guarantees that it will make money, Wen Leyu will trust Li Ye unconditionally, but now, she must learn to bear this pressure herself.

But even if there is only one Cisco company as a bottom line, Wen Leyu's little purse will bulge in the future; this process is also a kind of well-intentioned tempering for her.

"Mr. Li, there is one last project; let's discuss it quickly, okay?"

Jeff sent Mr. Gell away and then discussed the last project with Li Ye; this project was also selected by Jeff and recommended, but whether to invest or not still requires the consent of all partners.

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

Li Ye flipped through the project report again: "Okay, I basically have no opinion; Jeff, do you think twenty thousand dollars is a suitable price?"

Jeff smiled: "I think the lower the better."

Li Ye smiled: "Jeff, you are an excellent negotiator; next, it's up to you."

Jeff smiled and asked the secretary to invite the guest in.

As a result, as soon as the other party came in, Li Ye wanted to tell Jeff... twenty thousand was reckless.

Because the guest's skin color was black, with flaxen hair, and at a glance, he was an Indian.

Li Ye knows that there are many Indians in Silicon Valley; after all, "IC" was originally the English abbreviation for integrated circuit, but in Silicon Valley, it became the English abbreviation for Indians and Chinese.

However, the name "Pandit" on the project book didn't make Li Ye realize the other party's identity.

In addition, although Li Ye is a non-racist, given that there are too many weird things in India in later generations, his heart was suddenly a bit uneasy.

Just like someone said, "Indians dare to brag about anything, dare to do any business, dare to push any pot, and don't do any work..."

So many characteristics, can't they all be wrong?

"Mr. Pandit, the conditions we have given are already generous; after all, your research is only staying in the laboratory and you haven't applied for a patent..."

"No, no, no, respected Mr. Jeff, my research is not that I can't get a patent, but that I dare not publish my research results."

"Because whether it's Motorola or Alcatel, they are all conducting research in digital wireless communication, and this technology of mine is the core technology they urgently need; I believe Mr. Jeff also knows that for small companies like ours, it is impossible to resist the plagiarism of industry giants..."

"..."

Li Ye looked at Pandit opposite in shock, turning the biological hard drive in his mind rapidly, hoping to retrieve any information about him.

Good guy, technology that can make Motorola commit plagiarism, how much is that worth? Is twenty thousand dollars enough for a down payment?

In his previous life, Li Ye had indeed heard similar legends.

For example, a small researcher invented a revolutionary patent, attracted the attention of industry giants, and then there were various means of open robbery and secret seizure, and finally the small researcher lost the lawsuit and had no way to appeal.

But legends are legends after all; it couldn't be such a coincidence that he ran into it, right?

In the mid-eighties, handheld phones were all analog signals, and research on digital signals was still in the exploration stage; if a technology that leads the era really appeared, then it wouldn't be impossible to create a great company.

But Jeff was clearly even more "stingy" than Li Ye; in the face of Pandit's bragging, he was completely unmoved; let alone twenty thousand dollars, he wouldn't even give ten thousand; at most fifty thousand dollars.

"Fine, fine, let's not discuss this patent for now,"

Pandit couldn't beat Jeff and turned to take out another set of materials from his bag.

"I heard that you are also interested in 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 powerlessly and completely lost any interest.

Microsoft just released Windows 1.0 two months ago; you now say you also have similar software; can this bragging be any bigger?

In his previous life, Li Ye heard some people say that India's IT industry is world-leading, India's IT talents are world-class, and he was half-believing, thinking that India's computer technology was leading the way!

As a result, later he met a middle-aged coder who retired from a big factory and learned what that world-leading meant.

India is leading in the field of international software outsourcing business.

The so-called international outsourcing business is the behavior of a researcher with a 200,000 annual salary in the Lighthouse spending 50,000 dollars to outsource the work to a researcher in Heilongjiang in the mainland.

And that middle-aged coder said that if the researcher in the Lighthouse found the right way and threw the work to an Indian coder, maybe 20,000 dollars would be enough.

It's not that Indian coders aren't worth money, but mainly because the development level of India's IT industry is not even a little bit weaker than the mainland's.

The mainland entered a twenty-year rocket development period for the IT industry after 2000; as long as a coder has some ability, they can get a six-figure annual salary.

Outsourcing business pays attention to peeling layer by layer; mainland coders are already earning "tens of thousands," so why go and grab the thousand-dollar business with Indian coders?

Over time, international outsourcing doesn't look for mainland technicians anymore.

It's not that mainland coders can't afford it, but that the third brother is more cost-effective.

Anyway, it's all work to deal with official business; even if the third brother hands over a pile of shit-like programs, as long as it doesn't collapse at the time, it's fine.

After all, you only paid the money for eating curry; do you still 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's action of throwing the materials and asked in a low voice.

Li Ye glanced at that Pandit and suddenly turned to look at Wen Leyu: "Does Xiao Yu think he looks like a liar?"

Wen Leyu had been staring at Pandit's eyes, and at this moment, she also nodded and said: "It's not like; he is a liar."

"..."

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

"What? No, no, no, actually I can accept the price of fifty thousand dollars."

"..."

"Thirty thousand is also fine..."

"..."
