Five digits!
Five figures is a lot of money.
Lin Zhixia was already moved.
She was about to agree when she remembered her teaching assistant said that the software could sell for six figures.
Lin Zhixia mustered up her courage and bargained: "Last month, we were attacked by hackers and the backend of the program crashed. I worked continuously for a month, modifying the code every day to check for loopholes and fill in the gaps. My information security management plan... is very special and incorporates some mathematical techniques. If you want to buy out my copyright, a six-digit price is more reasonable."
After Lin Zhixia finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.
The two managers from the Internet company discussed in a low voice for a while, and unexpectedly did not reject Lin Zhixia. They only said that they would discuss it with Lin Zhixia in detail after class.
Lin Zhixia was about to participate in a business negotiation. She was a little nervous, fearing that she would ask for too high a price and ruin the deal.
She stood on the podium pretending to be calm, waiting for the comments from the teacher and the teaching assistant team. The teacher and the teaching assistants praised her a few words and wished her success in selling the copyright of the software.
Afterwards, according to the scoring process, the teacher began to inquire in detail about the group's division of labor and cooperation.
The teacher of the software engineering course was Wang Zihuan. Wang had very high standards for grading and was very strict with his students. Even though Lin Zhixia's software had been recognized by the technical staff of the Internet company, Wang did not show any leniency.
Teacher Wang asked directly: "I heard from the teaching assistant that your group cooperation encountered some problems, is that true?"
Lin Zhixia admitted: "Yes."
Teacher Wang said earnestly: "Children, you should not only learn skills, but also learn how to cooperate with others."
Luo Ying immediately explained: "Teacher, He Shangqing doesn't reply to our messages and doesn't attend group meetings. We want to cooperate with him, but he doesn't give others a chance."
In front of so many people, Luo Ying did not hesitate to expose the secrets of others, which was something He Shangqing had never expected. Then, Teacher Wang asked him targeted questions. Teacher Wang asked him what codes he had written, what work he had completed, and what technical difficulties he had overcome.
He Shangqing hesitated and said, "I wrote the user login and registration."
"Is there only this one module?" Teacher Wang asked again.
The teaching assistant added with a smile: "It took He Shangqing more than three months to complete this small module."
Teacher Wang looked at He Shangqing and asked, "What did you learn from our course?"
Teacher Wang held a "Personal Evaluation Form" in his hand. He wrote a "D" in the "Technical Practice" column for He Shangqing.
He Shangqing caught a glimpse of the teacher's handwriting. He knew that if he confessed, he would fail. In desperation, he pressed his hands against the seams of his pants, raised his head and chest, and explained: "Lin Zhixia changed my code... She was not satisfied with my work."
Lin Zhixia was well prepared.
She responded: "Teacher, He Shangqing's code is very short, only 40 lines in total. The code is wrong and cannot be run directly. He has never come to me or discussed technical issues with me. I have already reported the situation to the teaching assistant."
He Shangqing retorted: "I have studied for more than three months..."
Teacher Wang interrupted and said, "It's almost time. You can go back first. Next group, come on, please hurry up and demonstrate the program on stage."
Lin Zhixia walked down the stage briskly, not caring about He Shangqing at all. She found a seat and sat down, then sent a text message to Jiang Yubai, asking him how to sell software at a high price.
Jiang Yubai replied immediately: "What is your ideal price?"
Lin Zhixia: “One hundred thousand.”
Jiang Yubai: "Don't express your opinion yet, wait for the other party to quote. If they quote more than 100,000, then you can consider the next step."
Lin Zhixia: "Their offer is over 100,000, so I'm going to agree to it."
Jiang Yubai: "First ask clearly whether they want a buy-out authorization. After discussing the details, read the contract carefully."
Lin Zhixia: "Okay, do you have any other tips to share with me?"
Jiang Yubai held the phone, his fingertips lingering on the screen. After a few seconds, he sent a message: "I will send the skirt and shoes to your school this Saturday. Try them on to see if they fit you."
Lin Zhixia suddenly realized that the skirt and shoes were ready!
She was looking forward to it and quickly responded to him: "Okay, okay! See you at the school gate at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning!"
Jiang Yubai also said: "See you later."
Lin Zhixia's eyes sparkled with a smile. She flipped through their chat records over and over again, reading them word by word in her mind, imagining his demeanor and expression as he typed... Luo Ying suddenly asked her, "Who are you chatting with that makes you look so happy?"
Lin Zhixia answered without any disguise: "Jiang Yubai."
Luo Ying propped her chin with one hand: "You and Jiang Yubai are almost sixteen years old, right?"
"Yes," Lin Zhixia said truthfully, "In two or three months, he and I will both be sixteen years old."
Lin Zhixia and Luo Ying's conversation didn't last long before the long-awaited bell for the end of class rang throughout the corridor.
A manager from an Internet company called Lin Zhixia's name.
Lin Zhixia ran over. Before she could even stand, the other party made an offer: "We have read your software report and found your technology to be excellent. The price we are negotiating is 240,000. Can you accept it?"
Two hundred and forty thousand?
Lin Zhixia was slightly stunned.
The manager thought he had said too little. He turned around and talked to Teacher Wang. The assistant senior also joined in and said, "Lin Zhixia is a student in the School of Mathematics. Our school's mathematics and physics majors are ranked first in the country, better than the university next door. The algorithm that Lin Zhixia came up with is relatively novel. If we organize it, we may be able to apply for a national patent, and the subsequent development will be quite good."
The manager was worried that Lin Zhixia would raise the price. In order to lower the price, he could only say: "Lin Zhixia upgraded a chain hash algorithm, which saved the program's computing power. Her system architecture is still a traditional method. Considering the stability of her system, it is not as good as our intern's work."
Lin Zhixia remembered Jiang Yubai's instructions and immediately asked, "Excuse me, do you want a buyout authorization?"
Lin Zhixia only said this one sentence, but the manager looked hesitant.
He went out to make a phone call and came back a few minutes later. This time, he suppressed his smile and said very formally: "Student Lin Zhixia, let's be honest. From a business perspective, I have negotiated with my superiors, and the maximum I can offer is 400,000 yuan, 400,000 yuan after tax. That's it. It really can't be higher. What we value is your database algorithm and your information security algorithm. Software is not within the scope of our investigation..."
The last sentence is actually a lie.
Lin Zhixia's software themes, designs, and creativity are all things that the company values very much.
Lin Zhixia didn't think about it. She jumped in front of the manager and said, "400,000 after tax? One price, no regrets?"
The manager smiled and said, "Will you regret it?"
Lin Zhixia was about to answer when Jiang Yubai's instructions flashed through her mind again.
She imitated Jiang Yubai's attitude and said politely, "Thank you for your approval. Let me read the contract and then we can discuss the details."
The manager said yes repeatedly.
That afternoon, the manager rushed to the school with several colleagues, the printed contract, and the lawyer from the company's legal department. They couldn't wait to find Lin Zhixia and discuss every clause in the contract with her.
After Lin Zhixia confirmed the contents of the contract, she called Jiang Yubai again. She could recite the legal terms, but she knew almost nothing about real business - real business was hidden in reality and originated from the interaction between people, and she lacked relevant experience.
Jiang Yubai answered her call quickly. Since the Internet company bought the copyright of the entire software, Jiang Yubai asked Lin Zhixia to write the contribution of the team members into the contract and distribute the copyright fee according to the percentage of each person's contribution.
Except He Shangqing, all other team members were present.
Lin Zhixia calculated that the backend of the software was basically written by her alone. She wrote 80% of the Apple and Android apps, and the rest of the work was given to senior Luo Ying. The other three seniors only wrote the frontend of the web version - Lin Zhixia also corrected a lot of errors for them.
Lin Zhixia said honestly: "Senior Luo Ying did more than 20% and the three of you together did 10%."
The three seniors had never thought that they would get a share of the money. They knew their actual workload, so they didn't say anything and tacitly accepted Lin Zhixia's distribution method, and even felt a little grateful to her.
Luo Ying said, "I'll give you my 20%. I'm not short of money."
"No," Lin Zhixia said firmly, "I want to give you 30 percent."
Luo Ying smiled: "If it weren't for you, I would have scored at most 80 points in this course. You helped me get a high score and you want to give me money. I feel bad. You are still my junior, several years younger than me. How about this, you give me 10%, just a token of your appreciation. A hundred thousand dollars makes no difference to me."
Luo Ying calmly said, "Hundreds of thousands make no difference to me," which shocked everyone present.
The Internet company's lawyer asked, "How should we change it? Have you discussed it?"
Luo Ying answered first, "I am willing to give up all my shares and let Lin Zhixia take 90%. The other three people will get 10%."
Lin Zhixia gently persuaded her: "Senior sister, you don't want a penny? You have worked hard for three months..."
Luo Ying gently put her arm around her shoulders: "I know how hard you work. Have you slept well these days? You got dark circles under your eyes last month. These hundreds of thousands of copyright fees are all your hard-earned money. Compared to you, I'm not tired at all. I just did it for the score. I just said that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even get 90 points. You've been my programming teacher for three months, I can't not show some appreciation."
Lin Zhixia wanted to say a few more words, but Luo Ying's attitude was unusually firm.
The deep friendship between Lin Zhixia and Luo Ying touched the other three seniors in the software team - but they couldn't give up their own shares completely, so they only agreed to give Lin Zhixia 10,000 yuan.
Therefore, the final terms of the contract stated: a total of RMB 400,000, a one-time purchase of the copyright of the software, of which Lin Zhixia received RMB 370,000 and the other three seniors received RMB 10,000 each.
Lin Zhixia looked at the contract, her heart filled with emotions, and she signed her name solemnly.
A few days later, Lin Zhixia received a text message notifying her that RMB 370,000 had been deposited into her account. She was so excited that she almost fell off her chair. After nearly a minute, she calmed down, picked up her schoolbag, and went out happily.
Lin Zeqiu has been under a lot of study recently. The final exams at his school were scheduled for late June, and although Lin Zeqiu studied very hard, he still couldn't cover all the knowledge points.
Lin Zeqiu was sitting in the library in a daze when his cell phone suddenly started vibrating and the screen displayed three words: "Mom's Essence".
Lin Zeqiu answered the phone, walked out of the study room, and asked, "Lin Zhixia, is there anything I can do for you?"
Lin Zhixia urged impatiently, "Brother, come out quickly. I'll be waiting for you at the gate of your school. I have a gift for you."
Lin Zeqiu felt strange.
Today is not an important holiday, nor is it his birthday. Why did Lin Zhixia give him a gift? Is it some secret code?
Lin Zeqiu clutched his cell phone and ran to the school gate at the fastest speed in his life. When he saw Lin Zhixia standing outside the door, he slowed down again.
He walked slowly towards Lin Zhixia.
Lin Zhixia held a box in her hands: "A new phone! For you! It's 2011, the era of smartphones has arrived, but my brother is still using Nokia, which is too inconvenient. You can use your smartphone to download software, look up words, and take notes..."
Lin Zeqiu asked her, "How much is this?"
"Four thousand yuan." Lin Zhixia said.
Lin Zeqiu's fingers grasped the packaging box. He lowered his head and asked her in a hoarse voice: "Where did you get so much money? Let me ask you."
Lin Zhixia said confidently: "I earned the money myself. I sold the software I made. You can see the news on our school's official website."
Lin Zeqiu didn't reply for a long time.
Lin Zhixia waved to him and said, "Brother, I have something else to do. I'm leaving now. You can continue to study for the exam!"
Lin Zeqiu called her: "Lin Zhixia!"
Lin Zhixia turned her head: "What are you doing?"
Lin Zeqiu sighed. He walked closer and touched her head. His palm was very warm, and he gently placed it on her head. His voice was also low and gentle: "Don't be too tired, don't always think about making money, I will take care of the housework, you just need to pursue your scientific research."
My brother can actually say such things!
It must be because the gift was well given!
I remember that year, Lin Zhixia gave her brother an Easter egg, and her brother gave her little penguin a bath overnight.
Lin Zhixia suddenly realized and continued, "Brother, after I got the money, I immediately went to the mall and bought your mobile phone. I know you are reluctant to spend money on yourself, but you deserve all the good things. Brother, wait for me to make a lot of money, and I will let you, Dad and Mom live a good life."
Lin Zhixia's string of sweet words made Lin Zeqiu turn his head slightly away. He pretended to be nonchalant: "What are you talking about all of a sudden? You should study hard and stop thinking about those nonsense all the time."
Lin Zhixia was very surprised and pointed out: "Your eyes are a little red. Are you moved to tears by me? Brother, it turns out that you are so easily moved."
Lin Zeqiu sneered coldly: "How is that possible?"
He turned around and said, "Okay, don't you have something to do? Let's talk another day. I'll go to you for dinner."
Lin Zhixia smiled and replied: "Okay! Bye!"
After parting with Lin Zeqiu, Lin Zhixia called Jiang Yubai and asked him to come out and play.
Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia haven't seen each other for more than a month. Jiang Yubai originally planned to go to Lin Zhixia's school this Saturday to deliver her custom-made clothes and take a walk and chat with her.
And now, Lin Zhixia invited him out in advance, and he just came to deliver clothes to her.
The first thing Lin Zhixia said when she saw him was: "Jiang Yubai, I have good news for you."
Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia sat on a bench by the roadside. The warm breeze of early summer brushed her hair, and the bright sunlight shone into her eyes. She slowly leaned close to his ear and whispered to him: "I made money and want to buy you a gift, but I don't know what you need."
Jiang Yubai was about to speak when Lin Zhixia sighed softly. The air flow passed over the tip of his ear, like a soft feather scraping his skin. His breathing was disordered, but his words were still calm: "You don't have to spend money on me. You have given me many gifts..."
"Do you like them all?" Lin Zhixia asked him.
"Yes," he admitted frankly.
He picked up two gift boxes and handed the custom-made clothes to her: "Your skirt and shoes."
Lin Zhixia hugged the bag tightly: "I'll go back to the dormitory to try it on."
Jiang Yubai said: "If it doesn't fit, they will modify it."
It was the first time that Lin Zhixia received a tailor-made dress and shoes, and she had no idea what the standard of "fit" was.
She carried the gift box back to the dormitory, opened the bag, and was amazed at the fabric and workmanship of the skirt - the color of the material was pure, the texture was very fine and light, and it also came with a bra.
Lin Zhixia squatted on the ground and observed the skirt for ten minutes before taking off her clothes and putting on the skirt.
At this time, Deng Shasha and Feng Yuan came back from outside. As soon as they entered the dormitory, they met Lin Zhixia. Deng Shasha was shocked and murmured to herself: "Oh my God, the fairy has descended on our dormitory."
