Chapter 1536 My Eldest Brother and Second Sister Bullied Me
Lei Jun looked at Li Ye for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, do you also know anything about computer viruses?"
"You know a little about computer viruses, right? As long as there's profit to be made, they'll definitely keep popping up, and antivirus software will indeed become a standard feature for computer users."
Li Ye humbly admitted it, after all, he was a heavy computer user in his previous life, and he deeply hated certain viruses that were hidden behind small files and were impossible to guard against. Saying that he knew a little about them was definitely an understatement.
Now, because there are no online financial interfaces and no popular games like Fantasy Westward Journey that are easy to monetize, virus creators don't have many ways to profit. Otherwise, why would they suspect antivirus software sellers?
Li Ye then changed the subject, continuing, "However, several hundred yuan for software is still a bit expensive. After all, the economic development level in mainland China is not as high as that overseas. If the price is too high, everyone will definitely use cracked versions, which may not be worth the cost."
During the period from the 1990s to the early 2000s, only a minority of netizens in mainland China used legitimate software; pirated versions cracked by skilled hackers were what everyone loved most.
Putting aside others, Lei Jun is a master of hacking.
However, Lei Jun smiled and said, "With the cooperation of professional organizations, curbing piracy is not difficult. Although software is something invisible and intangible, it is the result of the hard work of technical personnel."
According to normal overseas market conditions, an excellent software can bring developers hundreds of millions in profits.
Lei Jun said emotionally, "Our mainland has the world's largest population, so its market potential is certainly no smaller than that of overseas markets. Therefore, the value of an excellent software will also be no less."
Imagine a programmer becoming a billionaire effortlessly by relying on a single piece of software.
I believe that with the development of computer technology, countless computer professionals will become millionaires and even billionaires. This is not a dream; it is a unique benefit bestowed upon us by this era.
“.”
Lei Jun's voice was extremely persuasive, and the dream of becoming a "billionaire" is a goal that everyone in this era aspires to. So after he finished speaking, even Li Ye had to admire his eloquence.
But as soon as Lei Jun finished speaking, the two diners at the next table burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, this is hilarious! Everyone's a millionaire, a millionaire, come eat Lanzhou Ramen!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense! Which eye of yours saw them eating ramen? They were clearly just chatting, not even needing tea, they just talked and closed a deal worth hundreds of millions, hahahaha~"
Hahaha~
The two ramen customers were so loud that everyone in the ramen shop heard them, and many people started laughing.
These days, many people are starting businesses, and many are trying to make money out of thin air. As a result, people have gradually become fond of boasting, but they also no longer believe others' boasts.
Li Ye and his group ordered four bowls of ramen, but they hadn't arrived yet. Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun hadn't even ordered any food. The table was empty, which certainly didn't seem to fit the description of a business worth hundreds of millions.
Li Juan frowned again and said to Qiu Bojun, "We ordered ramen, do you want some?"
Lei Jun said calmly, "Okay, okay, we'll order two bowls of ramen too."
Qiu Bojun said somewhat embarrassedly, "What we just talked about was our vision for the future. The world changes very quickly, so anything is possible."
"Hey, this guy is right."
Li Ye praised, "Just two years ago, having ten thousand yuan was a rare thing! But now, a hundred thousand or a million is not uncommon. And the computer industry is an emerging industry, without the many restrictions of traditional industries, so it truly has unlimited possibilities."
Qiu Bojun and Lei Busi's eyes lit up. After all, the two of them had been talking for so long without Li Juan saying much, which made them quite uneasy. Unexpectedly, Li Ye agreed with their opinion.
Lei Jun laughed and said, "It's so great that Mr. Li understands us. We thought you would laugh at us for bragging if you heard that everyone is a billionaire!"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "How could that be? The development potential of our country is absolutely incomparable to that of the Four Asian Tigers."
While it's unrealistic for everyone to become a millionaire in the future, I believe that with the development of the computer industry, countless students from impoverished backgrounds will become billionaires, and even billionaires or tens of billions will not be uncommon.
“.”
Hahahaha~
After a brief silence, laughter erupted, even more enthusiastic than before.
Even Lei Jun couldn't maintain his calm and collected expression this time.
[Dude, I said being a billionaire is already a dream, but you're just dreaming! Do you even know what 10 billion is?]
Qiu Bojun's cheeks twitched a few times, and he quickly looked away so that Li Ye wouldn't see his gaze.
This guy's a real braggart! Even more outrageous than Ray Allen's.
However, Li Juan and Fu Yiruo looked around coldly, as if tigers were looking at a group of laughing rabbits.
Rabbits don't have much meat, so they're not even worth baring their teeth at.
Just then, the four bowls of ramen that Li Ye and the others had initially ordered were finally served.
Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun were taken aback, thinking that one of their bowls was among them.
Li Ye said with a smile, "I have a big appetite, so I ordered two bowls. Why don't you share one bowl first, and I'll eat yours when yours arrive?"
"No need, no need, it'll only take a few minutes, we're not hungry."
"Okay, we'll eat first! Sorry."
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
After some polite refusals, Li Ye began to eat.
He was really hungry, and he devoured two bowls of Lanzhou noodles in a flash, making loud slurping noises.
And laughter erupted again from all around.
"Hahaha~, a billionaire eats two bowls of Lanzhou ramen in one go!"
“.”
Fu Yiruo, who was slowly sipping her soup, couldn't help but smile.
Others might not know, but he and Li Juan did, that their older brother was a real billionaire, and in US dollars no less.
But this billionaire can eat Lanzhou ramen with such swagger, isn't that hilarious?
At this point, Qiu Bojun was almost losing his composure, but Lei Jun remained calm and composed, looking at Li Ye with a serene smile.
However, when it came time to pay the bill after the meal, Lei Jun couldn't hold back anymore.
Li Ye took the tissue Fu Yiruo handed him, wiped his mouth, and gestured to Li Juan with his chin: "Go pay the bill."
Li Juan immediately pouted and reluctantly stood up to pay the bill at the front desk.
It wasn't that she was heartbroken about the few dozen yuan; the main problem was that Li Juan was the poorest person in the entire Li family right now!
Needless to say, my elder brother and sister-in-law never consider how much money they spend; they only consider the meaning behind it.
The eldest and second eldest sisters both have their own businesses and never worry about spending money, because they can never spend it all.
Even the youngest sister, Li Ying, does business with Sang Xiaoling and her second sister, Fu Yiruo. Their little treasury is so full it's practically overflowing with gold coins.
Li Juan only earns a little over two hundred yuan a month. She has to be very careful with her money when she treats her younger brother and two nephews and nieces to snacks. Damn, a single trip to KFC can cost her tens of yuan!
In the end, she had to pay the bill. Are you even human, brother and sister?
Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun couldn't hold back any longer when they saw Li Juan go over to pay the bill.
"How about we go over and pay this debt?"
