152 Meeting Heyme, Harsh Terms
"President Lei, commercially, I can understand your actions. You prohibiting the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App is a commercial decision, there's no need to apologize. Please take a seat," Li Chengqian said calmly. He did not show any joy because of Lei Che's apology.
"I'm a straightforward person. I don't like to beat around the bush. President Lei, I roughly understand why you came to the Divine Dragon Software Company today."
"Please go straight to the point!"
Lei Che sat down. "President Li, to be honest, I came here this time to discuss with you about authorizing Heyme phones to use the Divine Dragon System! The price is negotiable! Even if it's higher than Huawei or the National Telecommunications Manufacturing Company, we can accept it."
When Lei Che spoke, his eyes were fixed on Li Chengqian's eyes. He was very nervous, like a prisoner waiting for a verdict.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. He didn't detect any trace of emotions in Li Chengqian's eyes.
"President Lei, it's not impossible to authorize Heyme phones to use the System! But I have my terms and conditions..."
Lei Che was overjoyed when he heard what Li Chengqian said. As long as there was room for negotiation, there was hope!
If Heyme Corporation couldn't obtain the right to use the Divine Dragon System, they would quickly go bankrupt. He would be surprised indeed if Li Chengqian didn't name any conditions.
Lei Che suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked with a solemn expression, "President Li, what conditions?"
"Firstly, I want WPS." WPS was a domestic word processing system. It had a huge user base, almost covering the entire domestic market. It was very mature and developed.
"Secondly, I want the Heyme Advertising Platform!" The Heyme Advertising Platform contributed a huge amount of profits to Heyme Corporation annually.
"Thirdly, for phones below 1,000 yuan, the System authorization fee is 100 yuan per phone. For phones above 1,000 yuan, the system authorization fee would be 10% of the retail price."
"Fourthly, Heyme Corporation must collaborate with, and support the strategies of the Divine Dragon Software Company. Of course, I can guarantee that you won't suffer a loss if you collaborate with the Divine Dragon Software Company."
Li Chengqian smiled at Lei Che after he finished speaking.
Each of these conditions was more excessive than the last. Every time Li Chengqian raised a condition, Lei Che's expression would darken a little. By the time Li Chengqian named his fourth condition, he couldn't take it anymore, and his face turned black.
"President Li, the WPS software is not an asset of Heyme Corporation! It belongs to Silver Mountain Corporation!"
"The Heyme Advertising Platform is the core asset of Heyme Corporation. It's absolutely impossible to sell it."
"I can agree to the third condition right away!" Lei Che answered solemnly after careful deliberation.
"President Lei, with the technology of Divine Dragon Software and the efficiency of the brainwave receiver, it will only take two months for the Divine Dragon Software Company to redevelop a WPS software. The WPS software is worthless in my eyes. What I value is the brand name."
"I've checked. Silver Mountain Corporation's annual net profit is 390 million yuan. The profit from WPS software is less than 50 million yuan!"
"How about this? I'll offer you 250 million yuan to buy the WPS software!"
Seeing that Lei Che frowned and was about to speak, Li Chengqian waved his hand. "President Lei, listen to me. If you can accept it, we'll continue to talk. If you can't accept it, let's not waste each other's time. There's no need to continue."
Lei Che was dumbfounded when he heard what Li Chengqian said. Then, he leaned weakly against the chair.
Only then did he realize that this was not a normal business negotiation. This was Heyme Corporation begging for mercy from Divine Dragon Software.
In front of Li Chengqian, who had mastered the Divine Dragon System,
Heyme Corporation had no right to bargain!
If Li Chengqian didn't agree to Heyme's use of the Divine Dragon System, Heyme would definitely go bankrupt.
Compared to bankruptcy, what conditions were unacceptable?
"The second condition is about the Heyme Advertising Platform. Your advertising platform relies on the Heyme system. Once you switch from your phone system to the Divine Dragon System, the Heyme Advertising Platform will be useless!"
"All the applications of the Divine Dragon System can only be installed through the system's own app store. The software running in the Divine Dragon System can only be connected to the advertising platform of the Divine Dragon System. The advertisements of other platforms will not be supported by the Divine Dragon System!" Li Chengqian's tone was domineering and confident.
He was the one who developed the Divine Dragon System. He was the one who set the rules for using the Divine Dragon System.
Anyone who wanted to use the Divine Dragon System had to listen to him.
Anyone who was unwilling to abide by the rules he laid down couldn't use his Divine Dragon System.
On the other hand, without the authorization to use the Divine Dragon System, Heyme would quickly go bankrupt.
This was where Li Chengqian's confidence lay.
This was why a country would proactively develop an operating system. So that it wouldn't be held ransom by anyone.
"President Li, I agree! I agree with all four of your conditions." Lei Che's voice was low and filled with frustration and powerlessness.
Li Chengqian was straightforward and magnanimous. He didn't play any tricks and directly placed the conditions on the table. Lei Che had no right to refuse.
The core assets of the Heyme Corporation, the Heyme phone system, would become worthless henceforth. The revenue generating advertising platform would be taken away by Li Chengqian just like that. Even a portion of the company's control would go to Li Chengqian because of today's meeting.
The most promising WPS software that he controlled would also become an asset of the Divine Dragon Software Company.
The losses were too great! Almost half of his assets were lost to Divine Dragon Software.
"Alright!" Li Chengqian nodded and continued, "The first thing is to move the WPS source code and related data to the Divine Dragon Software Company as soon as possible. As long as the relevant development software passes our company's assessment, they can become part of the Divine Dragon Software Company."
"Secondly, I wonder if President Lei is keen on helping me run the advertising platform?" Li Chengqian smiled at Lei Che.
Li Chengqian's plan for the Divine Dragon Software Company was very clear. He only controlled the core resources, such as the operating system, the system entrance, brainwave coding, Divine Dragon Compiler, word processing software, and other core and most basic technologies.
He would leave the rest of the details to the professionals to manage.
The operation of the advertising platform required a large number of people and a huge amount of energy. It was better to leave it to Lei Che to manage. Although it costs a little money, he could have a ready-to-use advertisement platform.
This was also Li Chengqian's carrot-and-stick policy.
He wouldn't push someone over the edge at one go. He would give them a punch, then follow up with some benefits after that.
Not only could he put Lei Che in his place, and make him see his circumstances clearly, but he could also make Lei Che feel grateful.
This would be beneficial to their future cooperation.
Originally, Lei Che felt despondent and defeated, and his eyes were lifeless. Now that he heard Li Chengqian's words, he suddenly raised his head. His eyes flashed with excitement, and there was a hidden feeling in his eyes. "President Li, I'm very interested!"
The Divine Dragon Mobile Phone System was an advanced system that surpassed Android and Apple. It was definitely a mobile phone system that would rule the world.
Although he was only helping Divine Dragon Software to operate the advertising platform, the future profits would definitely be sizable!
In fact, the commission for operating the advertising platform would be even more than when Heyme's advertisement platform's profits were at its peak!
Li Chengqian didn't participate in the following business negotiations. After receiving a notification from the AI, Bai Ze, he quickly went back into his studio.
The intelligent building CAD software had already been developed by Bai Ze! Li Chengqian was very curious if the software developed by the AI, Bai Ze, could really be used.
If the software could really be used, how effective would the software be? Could it be used directly?
