Chapter 56 Good Chinese

Liu Haoyu was a little curious and asked in a playful tone: "So, I wonder how much huge sums of money your company spent on it?"

Hearing Liu Haoyu's words, Lei Lu obviously hesitated a little, frowned and fell into thinking. This conversation was a bit fast. Before the cooperation was settled, we went directly to the price negotiation stage.

Before coming, the headquarters had given him a price standard, but naturally he couldn't tell the bottom line all at once. He had to slowly explore and negotiate, so he was thinking of a suitable price.

During the conversation between the two people, the two people brought by Lei Lu, as well as Zhang Lei and Xu Li sitting next to Liu Haoyu, did not interrupt, but just watched quietly and carefully.

After a brief silence, Lei Lu spoke: "2 billion US dollars, over five years, is only used for purchase and use. I believe Mr. Liu can also feel our sincerity!"

Liu Haoyu was stunned when he heard this. 2 billion is still US dollars. If it is just for purchase and use, as Lei Lu said, there is indeed a little bit of sincerity, and there is obviously a lot of room for negotiation at this price.

The number of Apple users around the world is probably around one billion. Even if it charges for its own development, it will probably only be at this price per year.

Apple’s price is for five years. Although it is relatively low, it is not bad.

Generally speaking, if the negotiation can continue, Apple will not refuse to give a generous price. After all, a new generation of Apple mobile phones is about to be launched. Without the support of Tai Chi voice assistant, I am afraid that sales in China will not be very good by then.

However, I really can't sell the source code. Even if I sell it, they won't be able to look at it. It's all alien language code.

"What I'm curious about is, if you buy and use our voice assistant, what about your own voice assistant? Are you just abandoning it? Or do you want to crack our Taichi voice assistant through the source code and then integrate it into your system? voice assistant!" Liu Haoyu blinked, half-smiling.

Lei Lu was suddenly speechless, with a black line on his head.

Xu Li and Zhang Lei on the side were also speechless. They were speechless at Liu Haoyu's words. This involves other people's business secrets. It would be strange if they told you!

"I'm sorry that I don't have the ability to answer these questions asked by Mr. Liu. This purchase demand is needed by the headquarters. I don't know exactly how it will be arranged. Moreover, how our company uses it does not affect the transaction between us, no. Huh?" Lei Lu said.

Just like Xu Li and Zhang Lei thought, if this involves matters within the company and the cooperation has not been finalized, how could they tell you!

In Chinese terms, Lei Lu was preparing to act stupid and be stunned!

After hearing what Lei Lu said, Liu Haoyu smiled and didn't care.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Haoyu refused: "If it is the source code, the price you gave is actually not high, or even relatively low! Of course, I also believe that you are willing to pay more. However, I am really sorry. , it is impossible to sell the source code to you. If it is the source program, I can agree to the price of 2 billion!"

After saying this, he looked at Lei Lu as if he wanted to say something,

Without giving Lei Lu time to refute, Liu Haoyu continued: "This is already my biggest bottom line. In fact, 2 billion US dollars in five years only averages 400 million a year, which is more than 2 billion yuan. You should know, Our company is not short of this money now. To be honest, just last night, our company made more than one billion. So, the problem now is that it is not that we need your money, but that you need it. Our software, it seems, your new generation mobile phone is about to be launched. I believe that without this software, your losses will far exceed 2 billion!"

"What's more, with our source program, you can adapt the packaging very well and build it into your new system to achieve a superior experience on Android phones. Of course, you don't need to do any subsequent updated versions. If you are worried, we will take full responsibility.”

After Liu Haoyu finished speaking these words, he looked at Lei Lu with a calm expression.

After listening to Liu Haoyu's words, Lei Lu frowned and fell silent for a while. He was thinking about the feasibility of what Liu Haoyu said.

However, it was obvious that after much thought, Lei Lu himself could not make up his mind. These were beyond his functional scope and were not among the biggest bargaining chips given to him by the company headquarters before he came.

Even so, Lei Lu was still thinking about how to explain the results of this negotiation to the headquarters when he returned.

Before coming, the headquarters asked him to buy the source code, so he was given $5 billion in negotiation funds, which was also the bottom line. When he mentioned the price of 2 billion before, he was obviously ready to bargain.

Who would have thought that Liu Haoyu just didn't agree, but he proposed a price of 2 billion to sell an unpackaged finished software.

However, Lei Lu really couldn't make his own decision, couldn't refuse or agree, because he knew the company's situation and needed this software, but he just didn't know whether the company could accept such a deal.

"Mr. Liu, is there really no room for negotiation about the source code of the Tai Chi voice assistant software? If you are not satisfied because of the price, we can add more!" Lei Lu asked reluctantly.

Liu Haoyu smiled and shook his head, and said: "Mr. Lei, I have said just now that it is not a matter of price. The source code is very important to us and cannot be sold. At most, it can only be sold. The source program of the interface is left. I know that Mr. Lei may not be able to make the decision. You can send my thoughts back to your company headquarters. If you agree, we can talk and sign the contract another day."

Speaking of which, Lei Lu, who has been in shopping malls for many years, is not stupid. He knows that Liu Haoyu is preparing to see off customers.

There was a hint of helplessness on his face. The chairman of Universe Technology was right. He really couldn't make the decision. This matter needed to be reported to the headquarters to make an idea and discuss a countermeasure.

"In this case, we won't disturb you too much. I will truthfully convey Mr. Liu's intention back to the headquarters. I hope we can become partners next time we meet." Although the cooperation was not concluded, Lei Lu still kept smiling, stood up and extended his arms to Liu Haoyu. Out the right hand.

Liu Haoyu also stretched out his right hand to shake hands with him, and said with an undiminished smile: "I still have some unfinished work here. It is necessary and important, so I won't send it to you personally. I will ask the CEO of our company to send it to you. I look forward to Lei Sir, you can bring good news next time!"

Then he said to Zhang Lei: "Please help me see our friend Mr. Lei and his companions off."

"Mr. Liu, you're welcome! Since Mr. Liu has something to do, you can take care of yourself first." Lei Lu also replied politely.

Zhang Lei was speechless for a while. If he didn't want to give it away, just say so. Why is work so important? What a hell of a job! Playing on the computer in the office is just fine.

Thinking about it, it's okay to complain. As a CEO, these are his company. I just felt speechless about Liu Haoyu's excuse. In one word, it was just laziness. Oh no, it’s two words!

"Mr. Lei, please come this way!"

Zhang Lei led Lei Lu and his companions toward the elevator. Liu Haoyu shrugged and returned to his office.

Although there was no result in this negotiation, Liu Haoyu personally admired Lei Lu, a foreigner, because his Chinese was good.
