Fifty Thousand Dollar Buyout?
29. Fifty thousand yuan?
When I showed the input method I wrote to Old Man Xu, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth like a big frog.
"Just you wait, Xiao Liu. I'll immediately contact a friend from the software company for you. I never thought that my student, Xu Jinde, would be able to make a name for himself one day!”Old Man Xu couldn't care less about me and quickly ran out to make a phone call.
*****—*****
"Director Zhao, I'm Old Xu!" Old Man Xu said into the phone.
"Teacher Xu, what's the matter?”The person on the other end of the phone called Director Zhao asked enthusiastically.
"I have a student who wrote a software and wanted to find a company to cooperate with. I thought of you, Director Zhao!”Old Man Xu said.
"Aiya, Teacher Xu! I'm your student. What CEO Zhao? If you hadn't taught me back then, would I have been able to enter the computer industry? Without you, how could I have my current achievements!”"What software?" Director Zhao asked modestly. What could be special about a student's writing?”
"Hmph, you're underestimating me. Why don't you take a look at whose student you are? Weren't you also my student back then?”Xu Jinde boasted.
"That's true. What program did he write?”Director Zhao asked awkwardly.
"An input method. I think it has a bright future!”Old Man Xu said.
"Alright, I'm free later. Come over and show it to me. I'll treat you to a meal.”Director Zhao said.
"Alright, it's a deal. Wait for me at the company!" Old Man Xu hung up the phone happily.
*****—*****
"Xiao Liu, I'll show your program to the Tianheng Computer Company in our city. The boss there used to be one of my students, so there should be a way.”Old Man Xu said to me.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Teacher Xu. I'll go back and wait for your news.”I said.
I walked out of the Children's Palace and saw Zhao Yanyan waiting for me not far away. I waved at her, and the little girl ran over and hung herself on me."Why are you so slow? Didn't you say it was just a while?”
"I just want to sell the program I made for a high price. Otherwise, how can I afford to support you in the future?”I lifted Zhao Yanyan off my body and placed her on the ground.
"Like I'm a spendthrift ~" Zhao Yanyan pouted unhappily.
"Alright, it's fine if I don't want to live off a woman.”I coaxed.
"That's more like it." Zhao Yanyan held my hand and walked with me to the bus stop on Line 6.
"The game is over. There's no reason not to go home this time.”Zhao Yanyan sighed.
Actually, I also wanted to spend more time with Zhao Yanyan. However, as an adult, I knew that I shouldn't act rashly. If I let Zhao Yanyan's parents find out about our relationship too early for the sake of a moment of pleasure, I think normal parents would try to stop me. This would undoubtedly be a huge obstacle to my relationship with Zhao Yanyan. Although I'm sure that Zhao Yanyan won't leave me, I'm not willing to take the risk. If his family were to transfer Zhao Yanyan to another school, it would be over. This was something that Zhao Yanyan's grandfather, who was the provincial party secretary, could easily do.
As soon as I got home, I received a call from Old Man Xu."Xiao Liu, why didn't you pick up the phone?”
"What's wrong, Teacher Xu? I just got home!”I asked curiously.
"Are you free this afternoon?" Old Man Xu asked anxiously.
"Yes, why?" I said.
"Come to the Tianheng Computer Company at 4 Fazhan Road later. Director Zhao is very interested in your program and wants to talk to you about it in detail.”Old Man Xu said.
"Alright, I'll be there immediately!" I said excitedly! The fruits of my labor have been recognized by others!
"Okay, after you come, go and find Director Zhao. Zhao Junsheng, I have to go home quickly. Otherwise, Ruoyun will think that I sneaked out to drink again!”Old Man Xu said with a bitter smile.
"Alright, I'll go over now." I hung up and went downstairs immediately.
The address Old Man Xu gave me was very easy to find. I saw the big brand of Tianheng Electronic Computer New Technology Co., Ltd. from afar.
When I entered the company, the receptionist at the door stopped me."Little student, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for General Manager Zhao." I said.
"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked.
"No, but Director Zhao asked me to come.”I said.
"Alright, I'll help you ask.”The receptionist picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers."Hello, Director Zhao, this is Xiao Li. A classmate said that you asked him to come?”
After hanging up, the receptionist asked me,"Are you Teacher Xu's student?”
I nodded.
"That's right. I'll take you to Director Zhao's office.”After the receptionist finished speaking, she led me to a room and said to me,"You can go in now. Director Zhao is waiting for you inside.”
I knocked on the door and heard a middle-aged man's voice.""Please come in!"
"Is this President Zhao's office?" I asked.”
When the middle-aged man saw me, he was obviously stunned, but he immediately returned to normal. He sized me up and said," Hello, my surname is Zhao Junsheng. I'm the general manager of Tianheng Computer Company. What's your name?"”
"Director Zhao, my name is Liu Lei." I said.
Zhao Junsheng nodded and said to me,"Alright, Xiao Liu. Don't call me President Zhao. Call me Uncle Zhao. I'm not taking advantage of you at my age, right?”
"How can that be!" I said," Then I'll call you Uncle Zhao.”
Zhao Junsheng moved a chair for me and let me sit beside the computer with him. He asked me,"Xiao Liu, did you really write this input method?”
"Is there a problem?" I asked.”
Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said,""I just wanted to confirm that a high school student could write such an input method. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe!”
"Uncle Zhao, you flatter me. I was just fooling around.”I said, embarrassed.
"Don't be so humble. Little Liu, I have high hopes for your input method. How much do you want to sell it for?”Zhao Junsheng asked.
"How much do you think it's worth?" I asked. This was my instinctive reaction. In my previous life, I was already an old fox in the business world, so I was still able to handle this kind of thing with ease.
"How about this, Student Liu? One price, 50,000 dollars. I bought the copyright of this input method and have the right to develop subsequent versions.”Zhao Junsheng said confidently. 50,000 yuan was already a huge sum of money in the software industry in 1994. Although this was not Zhao Junsheng's bottom line, in his opinion, this amount of money was already an astronomical figure in the eyes of a high school student.
"How about this, Uncle Zhao, I'll settle the score for you.”I said calmly.
