HK067 First Negotiation
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Shi Ke took Ling Yu Mo and Mu Shuang to rush to the Cuihu Hotel. Originally, Li Chai still wanted to follow Shi Ke together, but Mu Shuang and Ling Yu Mo strongly opposed it. Poor Little Li Zi could only go to the cafeteria to suffer!
In the taxi, Shi Ke sat in the front passenger seat, and two beauties sat in the back row. The driver glanced at the two campus belle-level beauties through the rearview mirror, distractedly asking: "Where to?"
"Cuizhu Hotel!"
"Huh?" The driver turned his head in surprise towards Shi Lei.
"We're going to Cuilu Hotel, hurry up!" Shi Ke repeated, and Ling Yu Mo and Mu Shuang, who were sitting in the back row, smiled softly.
The driver secretly admired Shi Lei in his heart and drove the taxi to Cuihu Hotel with a gloomy mood.
Cuihu Hotel is only about three kilometers away from Shuangqing University. After a few minutes, the taxi stopped in front of Cuihu Hotel. The taxi driver looked at Shi Lei with envy, accompanied by two stunning beauties, and walked in.
In the lobby of Cuihu Hotel, four blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners were standing. When Shi Ke and his two companions walked in, those four foreigners only took a glance at Mu Shuang and Ling Yu Mo before revealing anxious expressions.
Shi Ke said in a low voice, these four foreigners should be representatives of the Kodak business negotiation team. To be on the safe side, Shi Ke took out his Nokia mobile phone and dialed the other party's number.
The same Nokia classic ringtone sounded in the lobby of Cuilu Hotel, and as expected by Shi Ke, it was those four foreigners.
"Hello, Kodak company friends! I'm Shi Ke, the author of Smile Detection Program!"
Among the four foreigners, a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, tall in stature, wearing a neat suit, said seriously: "Mr. Shi, nice to meet you! I am George Black, the leader of Kodak's business negotiation team."
"Mr. Blake, nice to meet you too!" Shi Ke replied.
George walked ahead and led the way, "Mr. Shi, this way please, we have already booked a banquet!"
Both parties walked into the private room booked by Kodak. After inquiring, the waiter at Cuilu Hotel left the private room to prepare for serving dishes.
After everyone sat down one by one, Shi Ke introduced: "Mr. Blake, this is my girlfriend Ling Yuemo; this is our negotiator Mu Shuang."
"Mr. Shi Ke, this is Bill Taka, our technical expert from Kodak."
Bill Takahashi is a middle-aged man with thick, beer-bottle glasses and an air of bookishness about him, clearly someone who has spent years doing research.
The other two, introduced by George, Shi Ke only remembered that they were called Mike and David. Mike was George's assistant, and David was Bill's assistant.
In the private room, Ling Yu Mo sat on the right side of Shi Ke, Mu Shuang sat on the right side of Ling Yu Mo, directly opposite Colonel George. On Shi Ke's left was technical expert Bill, then Bill's assistant David, followed by George and Mike. Between Mu Shuang and Mike, there were three chairs apart, and the two sides began to confront each other with seating arrangements from the start.
Mu Shuang held in her hand a printed A4 paper document, which recorded Shi Lei's bottom line, making it convenient for Mu Shuang to grasp the extent.
Shi Ke's bottom line requires $500,000. In '06, the exchange rate between USD and Xia Guo currency was 1:8, so $500,000 is equivalent to 4 million Xia Guo currency.
The dishes had not yet been served, and technical expert Bill was asking Shi Lei, "Mr. Shi, do you have any completed works on smile detection programs? Can you demonstrate one for us now?" As he spoke, technical expert Bill took out a laptop and a Kodak digital camera.
Shi Ke knew that the guys from Rigens were basically pragmatic and didn't like to beat around the bush like the people of Xia. He directly took out his own U-disk, then pulled out a small camera.
"The smile detection program is on the U disk, this camera is a computer video camera, with 8 million effective pixels, and it comes with auto-focus function. Bill, you can use this camera to replace the digital camera, try taking some experimental shots!"
Bill immediately connected the U disk and camera to his laptop, then opened the U disk and found an installation package inside. At Shi Ke's reminder, he first installed the smile detection program and then started the camera.
Shi Ke said on the side, "Bill, first use the smile detection program to take a photo of Captain Blake. Then turn off the smile detection program and take another photo of Captain Blake. Compare the two photos and see the difference!"
Smile detection intervenes in the camera's built-in shooting program, George Black and Mike simultaneously face the camera, revealing a smile. On the shooting interface, two green square frames encircle the smiles of Major Black and Mike, and the camera automatically takes a photo!
Laptop computer, with a "click", from startup to capture completion, absolutely no more than two seconds!
Technical expert Bill's face changed slightly, as the saying goes, a master shows his skill at once. From the camera's automatic focusing to the completion of shooting, it was compressed into two seconds, which represents the extremely fast speed of the camera's automatic focusing!
"The focusing efficiency is pretty good! But I wonder, how's the photo quality?" Technical expert Bill secretly guessed in his heart, then closed the smile detection program and used the camera's built-in shooting program to prepare for another shot.
This time, without the intervention of the smile detection program, the camera's built-in shooting program took a good three or four seconds to complete the focus, and then under Bill's control, manual shooting was completed.
Just from the focusing time alone, smile detection is a total winner!
Technical expert Bill found two photos taken by the camera and then opened them for comparison.
After opening, two photos, completely different!
Same camera, same location, same people, completely different effects!
The first time the smile detection program intervened, the photo was clear and the color restoration was realistic. Especially for Captain Blake and Mack, both of their appearances were very clear, without any blur.
And the second shot with smile detection turned off, not only is the screen unclear, but there are also slight noise points, and even the images of Captain Blake and Mack are a bit blurry!
Which is superior and which inferior will be obvious at a glance!
Outside the private room, a knock on the door sounded, Shi Lei said in Xia language: "Come in!"
Outside the door, two waiters pushed in two serving carts, and then a series of exquisite dishes were placed on the rotating table one by one. Shi Ke didn't hesitate to say to George: "Colonel Blake, welcome to Xia Guo, let's taste the delicious food of Xia Guo first! As for the smile detection program, we'll talk about it later, okay?"
Before George Black left, a Chinese employee of Kodak told him that in China, doing business is the culture of wine tables. As long as you eat and drink well, everything can be negotiated!
"Mr. Shi, what would you like to drink? Do you need Maotai or Wuliangye?"
Due to the excellent performance of the smile detection program, George Black's attitude became much more enthusiastic and his face always carried a faint smile instead of the initial seriousness.
Shi Ke was slightly stunned, foreigners also know Maotai and Wuliangye?
"Mr. Blake, I didn't know you liked China's Maotai and Wuliangye? I prefer coconut milk!" Shi Lei's capacity for liquor is simply a tragedy!
Last time, Shi Ke and Ouyang Xiang, just a cup of red wine, got the two rolling on the bed sheet, although nothing was done, it also reflected Shi Ke's alcohol capacity!
Shi Ke's face was strange, he called the waiter to bring a bottle of 52° Maotai, let these foreigners see the power of Chinese white wine, absolutely not inferior to whiskey or vodka!
Technical experts Bill and his assistant David, both are technical enthusiasts, keep testing the smile detection program. Bill takes pictures, David acts as a model, they 'click click' away, without any intention of eating.
Shi Ke doesn't care about all this, he didn't eat much lunch and is now starving!
"Pick up your chopsticks! We'll eat ourselves!" Shi Ke said bluntly in Xia Guoyu, "Xiao Mo, Mu Shuang!"
Ling Yu Mo's face turned red with embarrassment as he said, "Stone Monster, isn't this a bit...?"
Although Mu Shuang didn't say anything, judging from her expression, she was probably just like Ling Yu Mo, too embarrassed to eat first.
Shi Kei smiled and picked up a piece of braised pork belly with pickled mustard greens, put it in his mouth, and chewed hard for two mouthfuls. Suddenly, his face changed color. If it weren't for Ling Yu Mo and Mu Shuang by his side, and the four foreign friends across from him, Shi Kei would have definitely spat it out!
After swallowing hard, Shi Lei complained: "Ugh! What a four-star hotel, the food is so bad! It's not even... uh!"
Shi Ke didn't continue speaking, if he mentioned Ouyang Xiang, it would be hard to explain in front of Ling Yu Mo.
Ling Yu Mo curiously picked up a piece of braised pork belly with pickled mustard greens, placed it on her plate, and pinched off the lean meat part to put in her mouth. She chewed, and naturally swallowed with a calm expression.
"Rock monster, it's quite delicious!" Ling Yu Mo looked at Shi Ke in surprise.
Shi Ke awkwardly scratched his head, this craftsmanship was far inferior to Ouyang Xiang's, having grown accustomed to Ouyang Xiang's culinary delights, how could he possibly think it tasted good?
Mo Shuang couldn't help but be curious and also had a bit of the lean meat from the braised pork belly with plum sauce, saying it tasted good.
Shi Kei's face was streaming with tears, but he couldn't bring Ling Yu Mo and Mu Shuang back to Jing Ya Garden together. Why not have Ouyang Xiang cook a late dinner for them instead?
This is probably Shouxing Lao eating arsenic, tired of living!
Fortunately, the other dishes were not as bad as the Mei Cai Kou Rou, and Shi Ke ate a little. Colonel George and Mike used knives and forks to eat Chinese food, although it was a bit strange, but they also enjoyed eating.
Only technical experts Bill and his assistant David were focused on testing the smile detection program without eating a single bite of food.
"After finishing eating, Shi Ke suddenly asked in English: "Bill, how is the smile detection program? Is it helpful to our company?"
Bill didn't even lift his head and said directly: "The smile detection program is really great! If our camera is equipped with a smile detection program, it will definitely be popular!"
George Black looked at Bill with a gloomy face, he was so easily fooled by Shi Lei!
