570; Threat to freedom!

Gates was silent for a while, and then said: “This needs to be negotiated, um… as long as it does not exceed five million US dollars, we can accept it.

The two of them then waited quietly in front of the computer. After more than ten minutes, the mysterious figure appeared again: “Presumably you have already learned about the performance of this software in detail, right? What do you think?”

As the boss of Microsoft, Gates is naturally responsible for the negotiation. He typed: “We are very satisfied. I wonder if you want to sell it to us?”

Of course, “Otherwise, I won’t let it be compatible with the Windows system, do you think about the price?”

“How much do you want to sell?”

“How about ten million dollars?”

Seeing the high price of 10 million U.S. dollars from the other party, Gates immediately replied: “This is too expensive. After all, this is not an operating system. Although it is very good, it is impossible to sell for that much money.”

“Hehe, what is the highest price you can give? Don’t be too different. If you think that this software can only be sold to Microsoft, then you are very wrong. I have other versions. Come to me. It is not difficult to say that it is compatible with other operating systems.

Not to mention, Gates really had such an idea. He felt that since this software is compatible with the Windows operating system, it should only be sold to Microsoft. Gates originally wanted to use this to lower the price.

But when he saw the other party, he became a little uncertain. After a while, he typed: “Well, let’s give us a price of one million dollars. What do you think?”

“Are you kidding?-Want to buy it for a million dollars? It seems that your sincerity is not enough, so let me give you one last chance to bid. If I can’t satisfy me, I won’t show up again.”

Gates thought about this for a moment. Then he gritted his teeth and typed: “Well, you won. We paid five million dollars to buy this software. My friend, this is the highest price we gave. It is impossible to sell it to other companies over this price.”

After Gates sent the message for a while, the other party replied: “Okay, this transaction has been completed. I will send you the source code of this software now. You can check it. If there is no doubt, please send the money. Go to this account.

For a piece of software, the source code is the most important thing. The buying and selling between software ownership is actually the buying and selling between source codes, even the person who writes the software.

After surrendering the source code, he also lost absolute control over the software. The other party can firmly control the software by modifying the source code.



David knows this truth very well. He made a small calculation at the moment and only listened to him saying to Gates: “Boss, we can not pay after we get the source code. As long as the source code is modified, this software is ours, anyway. He also did not apply for a patent.

As soon as David finished saying this, the other party sent out such a message.

“Of course, you can refuse to pay after you get the source code, but I want to remind (Zhao Li) that your Windows operating system has many vulnerabilities.

If I publish the holes I have in my hands, your losses will definitely exceed the value of this software!”

This can be regarded as a threat from Chiguoguo.Although he doesn’t know which vulnerabilities of the Windows operating system the other party has mastered, Gates did not dare to try it easily, and saw him reply:

“You can rest assured that we are a large company with a credibility guarantee and will not do such a contrarian thing.”
