HK072 brain-damaged Kodak, Canon arrived

  In the Emerald Lake Hotel, representatives of Patriot Corporation stared at Mu Shuang, hoping he could provide a reasonable explanation. Why did Lika Company from Izquierda only need to pay $500,000 for the smile detection program source code, while their company, Patriot Corporation, had to pay $2 million?

  Shi Ke and Ling Yu Mo also looked at Mu Shuang strangely, not understanding why Mu Shuang was treating them differently.

  Mu Shuang sat upright in her chair, her face calm and her tone steady: "Leka Company only needs the source code for the smile detection program and a patent license from Xia Guo. So we're only charging them $500,000. However, we plan to sell the patent rights for the smile detection program to your company, Patriot, making you the owner of the patent rights. Therefore, you need to pay $2 million!"

  Although Zhong MuYuan was shrewd, he wasn't a technical person and didn't understand patent rights either. So, Zhong MuYuan shouted: "We don't want any patent rights! We just want the source code and patent authorization!"

  "Mr. Zhong, are you sure you don't want the patent rights?" Mu Shuang asked with a faint smile.

  Technician Lao Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to remind Zhong Mu-yuan, but ultimately didn't speak up.

  "Ms. Mu, I'm sure! With just the source code and patent authorization, is it $500,000?" Zhong Muyuan asked directly without hesitation.

  Mu Shuang nodded, "That's right, it only takes $500,000. However, I can give you one day to consider, we'll talk again tomorrow!"

  Zhong Mu Yuan originally wanted to say sign now, Lao Xiao finally couldn't help it, pulled Zhong Mu Yuan's hem and gave him a wink.

  "Oh, thank you, Ms. Mu! We will definitely consider it!"

  Shi Ke and the other two returned to their rented small conference room, where Mu Shuang and William negotiated and signed a preliminary letter of intent.

  It was clearly stipulated that Lika Corporation could use the source code of the smile detection program and conduct secondary development, but could not disclose the source code. Shi Lei had to provide technical support to help Lika Corporation integrate the smile detection program into its digital camera system.

  After signing the letter of intent, Shi Lei brought up the matter of the University of Double Celebration's campus software competition to William, hoping that he would use Leica Company's official name to send an application letter to the university and become a judge for the competition.

  William listened to the story and expressed great interest, saying no problem, and both parties agreed that the authorization contract for the smile detection program would be formally signed when the software competition announced the results!

  After settling the matter with Leica, Shi Lei let out a slight sigh of relief. He was about to take Ling Yu Mo and Mu Shuang back to school when George, the leader of the Kodak negotiation team, called Shi Lei again, inviting him to discuss business at the Cuilu Hotel.

  Shi Ke directly accompanied by two beauties, Ling Yu Mo, headed to the conference hall rented by Kodak Company for a new round of negotiations.

  In the conference room, Colonel George Black of Kodak held a thick stack of documents. When Shi Lei walked in, Colonel George said politely: "Mr. Shi, you've arrived so quickly!"

  Shi Ke did not conceal it, directly saying: "I came to Cuilu Hotel this morning and negotiated with Leka Company of Italy in the afternoon. This afternoon is our Xia Guo's Aiguo Company."

  Colonel George furrowed his brow, and his assistant Mack, unable to contain himself, said: "Mr. Shi, we have a question - why is the patent for the smile detection program owned by Sony?"

  Shi Ke raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Maik, I need to correct you on a mistake. The patent rights for the smile detection program in China belong to our side, not Sony Corporation. Moreover, our smile detection program is far superior to that of Sony Corporation!"

  "Mr. Shi," Mike said with a cold hum, "why didn't you say that at the beginning of the negotiations?"

  "Mr. Mike, with all due respect, if it's a global patent, how much do you think the smile detection program is worth?" Shi Lei immediately stumped Mike!

  Smile detection program, once launched, 99.999% of cameras and most mobile phone cameras in the future will be equipped with this program.

  Such a huge usage, just patent licensing fees, that's an astronomical figure! How can it be so cheap?

  "Mr. Shi, if it's just the patent rights of Xia Guo and the source code of the smile detection program, our Kodak company can only offer a maximum price of $50,000!" Captain George said with a frown.

  Shi Ke's face stiffened, $50,000? Was Kodak trying to shoo away a beggar?

  Lian Mu Shuang couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile!

  "Captain George, you're just paying lip service!" Shi Lei couldn't help but sneer.

  George Black said with a straight face, "Mr. Shi, we Kodak are very sincere, and $50,000 is not a small amount, converted to your Xia country's currency, it's as much as 400,000! Mr. Shi, 400,000 Xia country currency, that's enough for you to buy a house around the school, isn't it?"

  Shi Ke chuckled and said, "It turns out that Kodak investigated its own identity. They thought they were in the student business, how could they be so deceived? No wonder in 2012, this hundred-year-old giant in the photography industry suddenly declared bankruptcy!"

  From their attitude towards new technologies, it can be seen that this company is conservative and corrupt!

  "Colonel George, you can keep that $50,000!" Shi Lei stood up, ready to announce the termination of negotiations.

  "Mr. Shi, the patent rights for the smile detection program are mostly in Sony's hands and they won't let you have control over Xia Guo's patents. They will definitely harass you through legal means! If you're willing to transfer Xia Guo's patent rights to Kodak along with us, we're willing to pay $1 million!"

  Shi Ke couldn't help it and burst out laughing. Kodak company was too disappointing!

  Originally, Shi Ke was most willing to cooperate with Kodak, a century-old enterprise that has a huge influence throughout Xia Guo. The phrase "Share the moment, share life" is also widely known in Xia Guo!

  It's just a pity that Kodak was a bit stingy and didn't pay enough attention to new technology! This also laid the groundwork for the tragic ending of Kodak's eventual bankruptcy declaration!

  "Commander George, we still have business to attend to. Let's schedule another meeting for next time!" Shi Lei left a last bit of face for Kodak without directly saying it was impossible.

  Captain George wore a regretful expression. "Mr. Shi, it's truly regrettable. We've already prepared to return to the United States. Good luck!"

  Shi Ke walked out of the conference hall with two beauties, without looking back!

  In the elevator, Ling Yu Mo pouted and said: "Stony monster, people from Kodak are so annoying!"

  "Centennial world-class enterprises, they have their pride, only they haven't realized the hidden crisis within themselves yet!"

  Shi Ke's heart was slightly shocked. Could it be that Mu Shuang was so formidable? Was she actually able to predict the downfall of Kodak?

  "Mu Shuang, what crisis does Kodak Company have?" Shi Lei asked tentatively.

  Mu Shuang glanced at Shi Lei and explained, "The future of photography belongs to more convenient digital cameras, not old-fashioned film! Kodak Company can't put down its past glory, it will be eliminated!"

  Shi Ke's heart was greatly shocked! Mu Shuang's business vision, is it really that fierce?

  "So that's how it is!"

  Three people walked out of Cuilu Hotel and were about to take a taxi back to Shuangqing University when Shi Ke's phone rang again.

  After connecting, a sly voice came over. "Excuse me, is this Shi Lei? I'm a representative from Canon, Ko Inu Ichiro!"

  Koino's summer language is very unstandard, and Ishigaki had a hard time understanding it!

  "I am Shi Lei, Mr. Xiao Quan, where are you now?" Shi Lei asked, if the other party is about to arrive at Cuilu Hotel, then wait for them and try to finish talking together today!

  Koinosuke asked the interpreter beside him, Matsushita Kudayu, in Japanese, "Kudayu, where is this place?"

  Matsushita Kudako was a young woman with a somewhat attractive appearance, who smiled flirtatiously at Inukai Ichirō and said in a flattering tone: "Inukai-san, this is the campus of Sōkei University. It will take us about five more minutes to arrive at the Tsui-ko Hotel."

  Koinosuke handed the phone directly to Kudayoshi Matsushita and said, "Kudayoshi, tell that person we'll be arriving at the Tsui Lake Hotel soon. Tell them to go to the Tsui Lake Hotel as well!"

  Shi Ke was on the phone and could hear everything clearly. Shi Ke is fluent in Japanese and can speak it fluently!

  However, Shi Ke learned from William and pretended not to understand even though he clearly did.

  Matsumoto Kudayu answered the phone, saying in a soft voice: "Mr. Shi Ke, hello, I am Matsumoto Kudayu, the interpreter of Canon's delegation. We are about to arrive at Cuilu Hotel and hope you can also hurry to Cuilu Hotel so that we can discuss the smile detection program as soon as possible."

  "Miss Kudai Zi, we are already at Cuilu Hotel, waiting for your arrival at any time!"

  A few minutes later, a black business car stopped in front of the Cuilu Hotel. A short and stout man, less than 1.6 meters tall, got out from the back seat. Immediately after, a woman about 1.65 meters tall followed him out of the car. Then, two men wearing formal attire with serious expressions got out of the car, one from the front passenger seat and the other from the back seat.

  Less than one meter six short and fat ugly, is Xiaoquan Yilang, he hugged Matsushita Kudayu's waist, very unscrupulously pinched Matsushita Kudayu's soft waist, but Matsushita Kudayu instead had a face of enjoyment, making people feel unspeakably awkward!

  Koinu Ichirou may be short and ugly, but he is the deputy director of Canon's PR department in name only, and his family holds a considerable number of shares in Canon!

  This time coming to Xia Guo for negotiations, originally shouldn't have sent a dwarf, but the dwarf argued strongly, thinking that the humble citizens of Xia Guo weren't worth making a big fuss over, so it wouldn't hurt to let him go, and thus won the position of head of the negotiation team.

  Fortunately, Canon Inc. is not brain-dead either and dispatched two technical experts to follow the dwarf.

  The short, fat and ugly man wrapped his arms around Song Xiaoyu's waist and walked into the lobby of Cuilu Hotel. As soon as he saw Ling Yu Mo and Mu Shuang, his eyes lit up and looked at them with a lewd gaze!
