Chapter 1957: The corrupt Xiangjiang entertainment circle

In fact, why Stephen and others asked Fourth Uncle Li to come to Ye Ming was to discuss the video issue. Ye Ming's technology was definitely beyond their grasp.

Anyway, they can see Ye Ming's patented video technology and the core source code clearly. There is no problem. This is not beyond this era.

After any source code is separated, they all understand what it represents. Those programmers also understand what these codes represent.

But if these codes are combined, not many people can clearly see what they represent.

Even if the White House has gathered a large number of programmers, hackers and other highly sophisticated talents, it has imitated 70% of the source code.

It is conceivable that the other 30% of the source code that cannot be imitated is the core of the core.

That was the reason why Ye Ming warned everyone about the half-year deadline.

If you can't understand the source code of this thing, how can you crack Ye Ming's half-year deadline at this time?

Since it is said that the six-month deadline cannot be broken, then on such a problem, it is better to simply surrender.

In the Internet market, in fact, you don't want to maintain a leading position with too high a score. Being one ahead is enough to make money.

Of course, if you want to ensure your dominance, it is best to lead three people. One is making money in the market, one is waiting for replacement in the company's warehouse, and the other is doing research in the laboratory. of.

Basically, as long as an Internet company can guarantee the lead of these three companies, there is basically no risk of being eliminated within ten years.

The key point is that Ye Ming's video technology is the kind of technology in the laboratory. It is certain that Ye Ming still has technology that is ahead of everyone else. Otherwise, he would not be able to restore the vulnerabilities of everyone's systems with such confidence. of.

Therefore, He Tan becomes a possible result of displacement.

Stephen said with a smile: "Then let's talk about the video patent. Mr. Ye, this time we come here and we are quite sincere. You set a price and we will discuss it."

This Stephen is a businessman after all. He didn't say this to death, he just asked for a condition for the housewarming. In this case, everyone should discuss what should be done.

Ye Ming didn't seem to care about Stephen's trick, but said with a smile: "Well, since it is a friend brought here by the fourth uncle, I won't say much else and will give you a more realistic price.

I know almost everything about your company, and it is considered to be the first or second largest company in its own country. Therefore, the price cannot be too low. According to the market situation, two million a year, three years will be settled first, and we will talk about it then. "

Ye Ming actually wanted to sell it for ten years, or even twenty years, the maximum allowed by the patent.

But others are not fools. Internet technology is advancing very fast. Some experts say that computers can be updated every six months. This may be a bit exaggerated, but it is not an exaggeration.

Therefore, even if Ye Ming wants to settle for twenty years, it is impossible for others to agree. Because at this time, maybe under certain circumstances, as Internet technology advances, Ye Ming's video technology cannot be unique.

By that time, everyone will naturally choose the cheaper one. Therefore, after signing the contract for three years, Ye Ming knew that this was the biggest compromise for everyone.

The companies he came to were all large companies, and the company's market value was calculated in billions of dollars. Therefore, Ye Ming was not polite at all on this matter. For two million dollars a year, buy a three-year one first. In fact, Stephen and others also think this way. It is impossible to buy something that will last ten or twenty years at once. That is the behavior of a fool.

After all, as people in the industry, they know that this kind of technological progress is very fast. Two million a year is relatively high, but it is not impossible to accept. Three years is a relatively acceptable cycle.

The key is that the half-year period given by Ye Ming is getting closer and closer. So for such a problem, people from big companies can't help but refuse to agree at this time.

Once a vulnerability in Ye Ming's patented technology breaks out, it will definitely be very ugly if they don't get an authorized patch from you, Ye Ming.

Therefore, in fact, there is no way to compromise like this.

The key is that under such a situation, Ye Ming has exclusive business.

Stephen hesitated and said: "Our company can agree to this condition, but it must be stipulated in the contract. The patent fee is paid once a year. The fee for the current year is paid before January 15th of each year. Last year and this year We won't be able to pay, after all, this is already over.

And didn’t the system break out? . But for 2007, you have to wait until January 15, 2007 to pay. "

If he doesn't make up the payment, then Stephen is sure that Ye Ming will never compromise. After all, when it comes to an issue like this, Ye Ming is definitely the kind of person who will definitely report any flaws.

From everyone's understanding in the entertainment industry, we know that Ye Ming is definitely not a fuel-efficient person.

Ye Ming couldn't bear the two years' patent fees. Ye Ming nodded and said: "There is no problem with this. If you give me the money, I will give you the patch immediately. But one thing I declare is that the patch I give you is a one-time use. You don't have to believe it and go to something else first." I’ll give it a try somewhere, but after trying it, you’ll definitely want to find me to buy a new copy. One copy costs two million, no matter the price.

Therefore, you just have to figure out some things by yourself. "

Without some trump cards, it would be impossible for Ye Ming to sit on Diaoyutai so securely in such a matter. At this point, Ye Ming is the kind of person who waits for others to come to him when he is confident.

Everyone is a cheerful person, of course because Stephen and others were afraid that Ye Ming would go back on his words, so they quickly called the money and signed a contract with Ye Ming. After signing the contract, Ye Ming gave each of them a USB flash drive. Then he said: "This is a one-time patch. Whether you use it yourself or give it as a gift or something to try, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, if you don’t feel bad about money, then I can’t feel bad about it, right? "

It is even said that Xiao Li Chao has signed a contract with Ye Ming this time, because it has emerged that Xiao Li Chao's company has infringed the patent.

Ye Ming did his final reckoning. Basically speaking, he earned 30 million US dollars from this incident. Basically, he made almost the same amount as the cost of purchasing Penguin Company this time.

If anyone knew that Ye Ming's stocks would be worth hundreds of billions in the future, they would definitely be regarded as a fool at this time.

But Ye Ming knows that this is a fact, and these are facts that can no longer be true.

The two contracts, the patent transfer contract and the share transfer contract, are basically carried out in tandem.

After finishing the work, the next step is to eat, drink and have fun.

Of course, Ye Ming brought Liu Tao not just to give in; Liu Tao came to see it. In fact, Liu Tao is a very obedient person and cooperates very well. The last time he was with Zhao Baozi, Liu Tao hated him. He took great pains to teach Zhao Baozi many techniques.

Therefore, after coming back, Ye Ming was even more reckless, and Liu Tao's skills became more and more pure.

The role of the eldest sister is played very appropriately from work to life. The Li family's wedding was also held in a very luxurious manner, and Liu Tao was also very eye-opening.

There are indeed not many people in the entertainment industry, but this is the wedding of the Li family, and not everyone in the entertainment industry is qualified to attend the wedding of the Li family.

On the contrary, Liu Tao has met many bigwigs in the financial and real estate circles.

Although Liu Tao still finds it difficult to walk, she still presents herself in front of everyone with her good mouth.

After attending the Li family's wedding, Uncle Shao directly sent someone to find Ye Ming.

In fact, when Ye Ming got off the plane, many people in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang had already received the news that Ye Ming was coming to Xiangjiang. Every time Ye Ming came to Xiangjiang, he always wanted to cause something to happen.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Ye Ming's arrival was a bit dumbfounding.

Anyway, Ye Ming's arrival is the key target of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. But since Uncle Shao Liu invited him, of course Ye Ming would not refuse such a question.

Therefore, regarding such a problem, Ye Ming went to Uncle Shao alone.

Old-timer Shao Liushu, who has dominated the Xiangjiang entertainment industry for half a century, naturally means that his reputation is very big.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Uncle Shao Liu now as an old man of the century.

And now it's not like anyone can meet Uncle Shao Liu just because he wants to see him.

Uncle Shao Liu is basically in a semi-retired state now. Fang Yihua takes care of many things, but Uncle Shao is needed to provide the general direction.

Ye Ming arrived at Uncle Shao Liu's office and greeted him, and then Ye Ming said: "Uncle Six, where is Sister Fang Fang, I haven't seen her for a while, she is very important in our company.

Welcome Sister Fang Fang to come back at any time. "

With a high-level relationship like Sister Fang Fang, the rest will be much easier to handle.

However, this time, Uncle Shao was rare and said solemnly: "Last time Fang Fang came back, she was very depressed. No, Yihua had sent her abroad to study half a year ago.

In the entertainment industry, I actually don’t want Tang Fangfang to get involved, because only after she enters the entertainment industry will she truly understand what kind of place this is. "

If there are only a few people from Xiangjiang who are truly qualified to evaluate the entertainment industry, they will basically be numbered on one hand.

But no matter what the choice is, when it comes to such a problem, Uncle Shao is a name that cannot be bypassed.

Of course, Uncle Shao Liu is not a perfect person, he also has shortcomings, such as stubbornness, stinginess, etc. are all his labels.

But no matter what happens, Uncle Shao Liu has not missed the general direction.

Therefore, Uncle Shao Liu is actually very qualified to make this kind of evaluation.

Ye Ming sighed and said, "This is how the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is now.

In fact, I never thought that the Xiangjiang entertainment industry would decline so quickly. Although I know that it is impossible for the Hong Kong entertainment industry to restore its previous glory, or even return to the previous Silver Age.

But based on a picture like this, the rapid decline of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is still surprising.

Xiao Chen's camera accelerated the decline of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. "

After all, Uncle Shao Liu is the kind of person who is far-sighted, so he immediately said at this time: "There is no way to do this. As for Xiao Chen's son, the young man, making some young people's mistakes, it is nothing.

It’s just that some female celebrities have been implicated, which is not worth promoting.

Do you think there is nothing more surprising than this in the Hong Kong entertainment industry?

It's a joke, that's absolutely impossible. It's just that it broke out this time, and the Internet helped it, so it had such a big impact.

In the entertainment industry, there are people who are even less important than Xiao Chen's son. They don't just say that the photo scandal broke out on inappropriate occasions. "

Ye Ming is not an outsider either, because, for the first time, Shao Liushu openly spoke openly about such a problem.

One is that Ye Ming is from the entertainment industry and knows the Xiangjiang entertainment industry very well.

Also, under such circumstances, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry has fallen to this point.

There is no longer any shame or shame. Because the current Xiangjiang entertainment industry, in Uncle Liu's opinion, is basically hopeless.

Therefore, at this time, Uncle Shao also wanted to find someone to have a drink with and have a good talk about this issue.

Ye Ming said he was very convinced by this explanation.

The entertainment industry in Xiangjiang used to be very degenerate. Things like stuffing ping pong balls under female stars often happened. They were not just ordinary stars, they were top-tier stars.

There are also endless things like cheating, mistresses, etc. But at that time, the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang was very prosperous, which covered up these problems.

But now, these problems can no longer be concealed. This is a Titanic, and it was the moment it hit the iceberg.

Originally, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry had the mainland market and there was no problem in continuing to prosper. However, because of the pride of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, it simply looked down on its mainland counterparts, so it did not think that it would completely lose its dominance.

But I didn't expect that the Xiangjiang entertainment industry would decline so quickly, and it is basically hopeless now.

Of course, not everyone would say these words to Uncle Shao Liu. It was only someone like Ye Ming who was one of his own and had a similar status, who made Uncle Shao Liu express his depression directly.

The Xiangjiang entertainment industry is indeed hopeless. This is something that makes Uncle Shao very disappointed.
