Business: The rise of tech giants

In fact, all the employees in fingerworks, including the two founders, are scientific researchers. There is no one who is good at business in the entire company.

Wayne Westerman and John Wiley are very confident in their research results and firmly believe that they can be applied in many aspects.

But confidence cannot be eaten for a living. In fact, his company has been unable to make ends meet.

Although the two also thought about closing the laboratory.

But the feeling is very different when the people who take the initiative to contact you are poached.

“Wayne, why did Pete resign? John asked Wayne depressedly.

Wayne, who had white hair, frowned and shook his head slowly:”I don’t know the details. I heard that a related company hired him away with a high salary.””

“We didn’t have them sign a peer ban agreement before.”John said in a low voice, feeling very unhappy.

“It’s okay, our patent has been applied for, they can’t take anything away.”Wayne comforted.

The research on multi-touch is mainly the result of the two of them, and they usually pay attention to protection. The researchers recruited have not been exposed to the core technology.

However, the resignation of some employees has also affected the daily work of FingerWorks. It has had a certain impact.

The most important thing is that now their funds have been spent

“Wayne, do you have any feedback on the fund you contacted last time?”John Wiley asked worriedly.

Wayne Westerman shook his head slowly and frowned tightly.

The two wanted to get an investment, but no one has invested yet. This is the biggest problem.

“Do you still have the contact information of Ms. Sera who came to buy the patent last time?”John suddenly asked

“You’re thinking?”Wayne looked at his old friend in surprise.

John said firmly:”Yes, Wayne, our experiment the day before yesterday failed, but in the intermediate, I found a new material, this new material fluid, or it can be combined with Rear-projection DI, I think, not only can be multi-touch, but can also be operated from a distance.”

Wayne’s eyes also lit up.

This is a new research direction.

Speaking of which, making money with new materials is also extremely objective, and wealth creation is second only to the Internet.

Both of them had a burning look in their eyes.

“John, how about we contact Ms. Sera again and sell this patent to her, then we will have money to continue research~.”Wayne made a suggestion.

This proposal was decisively approved by John.

The two of them knew that multi-touch would have a future, but no one could say how many years later this future would be.

But the research on new materials is It’s different. The new material discovered by John can be applied to liquid crystal products. As long as a mature refining process is invented, it will be a waste of money.

Sera did not expect that Wayne and John would change their minds so quickly. She I was surprised and happy to receive the request for another meeting between the two people.

It seems that the task assigned by Li Xinghai can be completed. At this time, Li Xinghai did not know that his Xin Nian Point touch technology would soon be in his possession. , he met with Tony van der Leyden and Jevlyn Robin again to discuss the music player.

Li Xinghai was going to launch this music player in Amric, and he also wanted to get it back from Daxia.

At this time In Daxia, there are no dedicated music players yet, not to mention video players such as Baofengyingyin and Kuaibo (?). It seems that this is also a good direction. There is really gold everywhere now!

Li Xinghai took back his thoughts and took a step first Come on, let’s make the music player first.

“The music player must be able to decode existing audio formats on the market, and when new audio formats appear, they must be able to quickly add them. Provides song search and download functions for specific devices.”Li Xinghai stated his requirements for this player.

Technically speaking, there will always be a solution.

Tony van der Leyden and Jevlyn Robin had no objections to this, and nodded, agreeing with Li Xinghai’s statement.

“Well, boss, all your requests can be technically solved. The key is how we get permission from the record company.”This is what Tony and Jefflin can’t figure out.

If you want to play and download other people’s songs, you can’t avoid the copyright issue.

Some old songs may be easier to get permission from the Internet, and they are more popular. Why should I authorize you for the new album?

Li Xinghai smiled mysteriously and said to the two of them:”Don’t worry about this for now. I will solve this problem.””

“Sorry, boss, can you tell me how you plan to solve this problem? Tony asked.

This was the deciding factor in whether he and his girlfriend would join.

Li Xinghai was silent for a few seconds and then said with a smile:”Haha, it doesn’t hurt to tell you. My plan is to put the player’s database on In Daxia, when you use the player to download songs, you download them from Daxia.”

His words were translated by Chen Lin, leaving Tony and Jevlin stunned.

This saucy operation is really unexpected.

In theory, this is piracy and is illegal.

But obviously, it is impossible for Amerik to do so at present. Take charge of Daxia’s side

“but……”

The two looked at each other, wanting to complain a lot, but they seemed to have nothing to say.

In fact, many American companies do the same thing.

Directly transfer the blame to foreign countries

“.But search engines……”Tony finally found loopholes in technology.

Li Xinghai chuckled:”A few days ago, I invested in a search engine company called Guge”

“……”

Tony and Jevlin were speechless and just wanted to shout 666.

It turned out that Li Xinghai had already arranged everything.

Although it is a bit shameless, capitalists have dirty blood flowing in them.

Tony and Jevlin didn’t find anything unacceptable in this.

As for the shares of the two of them, Li Xinghai temporarily gave them 3% each. These shares are non-transferable and non-tradable before going public. If they leave the company within five years, the shares will be automatically returned to the company.

The conditions were harsh, but the two happily agreed.

Because when they join, they become veterans of the company and receive shares, so what else can they be dissatisfied about.

After taking Tony Jevlin and others back to Jiuxin Mountain, Li Xinghai received another surprise that Sera brought to him.

The two founders of Fingerworks agreed to sell him the multi-touch patent.

Wayne Westerman and John Wiley had only one condition: that after the patent was sold, they were allowed to continue research based on the patent.

Is this also called conditional return?

Even if these two people are not mentioned, Li Xinghai still has to find a way to recruit people to continue research on the existing basis. The more mature the technology is, the greater the value of the patent will be.

“How much do the two professors charge?”

“Six hundred thousand American dollars. I talked about half a million. Sera looked at Li Xinghai’s expression and saw that there was no change in his expression before continuing:”I feel that this is not the bottom line between the two professors, and we can continue to talk.”

Li Xinghai waved his hand:”Just five hundred thousand.” The two professors are welcome to continue research and we can also inject funds into their laboratories if necessary.”

“OK, boss.”

Multi-touch technology was successfully obtained._
