200 million

  Xu Yihong remained calm after being rejected by Wang Zhengyu.

  In fact, Qihoo 360's CEO Zhou Hongyi is a tech-savvy internet mogul who has a deep understanding of the technical capabilities of that APP and the value of its underlying technologies.

  So he never thought that he could poach this excellent designer or team with just a few simple words to his own company.

  So saying is just an attempt and a show of attitude.

  What he needs most at this time is just to establish a friendly cooperative relationship with this developer or a development team ahead of schedule.

  So Wang Zhengyu's refusal did not disappoint Xu Yihong too much, but instead started to follow the topic of Wang Zhengyu's words.

  "Then I'll ask boldly, Mr. Wang's mobile software, has it been uploaded on other platforms?"

  ……

  In the hotel room, Wang Zhengyu and Huo Guangbo had calmed down their emotions after personally talking to Xu Yihong.

  In fact, for Wang Zhengyu, if it were in the past, being able to talk to such an internet big shot would have made him unable to calm down for a whole day. But now that he has already accepted the existence of things like Tian Shu that are beyond human imagination, what's the big deal about talking to a celebrity?

  So his tone became more and more calm, sounding even more confident.

  "Not yet, it's only been uploaded on Qihoo 360's Android app for now, is there a problem?"

  "Why don't we talk business? Qihoo 360 will buy the exclusive release rights of your APP for 200 million RMB. In other words, the smart voice-controlled home app you uploaded, as well as its future upgraded versions, can only be downloaded from our Qihoo Android App Market. Of course, apart from the 200 million, we can also use our own resources to fully promote this application. What do you think, Mr. Wang?"

  The voice coming from the phone made Wang Zhengyu feel a sudden dizziness.

  Two hundred million RMB? This was a number that Wang Zhengyu had never dared to think about, and yet it came out of Xu Yanhong's mouth so lightly, as if it were nothing. The feeling of being suddenly hit by a pie falling from the sky left Wang Zhengyu stunned and speechless for a long time.

  It was Huo Guangbo, who was beside Wang Zhengyu, who was not surprised by the 200 million figure at all. He looked at Wang Zhengyu with disdain, who couldn't say a word, and couldn't help but interrupt.

  "Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Huo, a classmate and good friend of Wang Zhengyu. What I want to ask is, doesn't your exclusive publishing right include the potential profits brought by the software itself?"

  "Of course, it does not include the exclusive release right, which only requires that Mr. Wang's Android version of this software can only be uploaded to our Qihoo 360 App Store. As for the revenue generated by the software copyright itself, it still belongs to Mr. Wang!"

  "Alright, wait a minute, let's discuss this!" Ho Guangbo said, covering the phone receiver with his hand again.

  "Hey, are you going to sell the exclusive publishing rights of your software for 200 million? Sell it?" Huo Guangbo said with a slanting pat on Wang Zhengyu's shoulder, who had already been completely stunned.

  "Why not sell? Only a fool wouldn't sell! Can't I just publish on Qihoo's market alone? I didn't plan to publish on other markets anyway!" Wang Zhengyu shouted back.

  "Look at you, it's just 200 million, isn't it? You're completely ruined! Are you that desperate?" Ho Guangbo said in a low voice.

  Actually, from the bottom of his heart, Huo Guangbo didn't want Wang Zhengyu to have these 20 million so early. The reason is simple: he still wanted to partner with Wang Zhengyu to start a company. His brother would provide the technology, and he would invest in it, which would be perfect. But now that Wang Zhengyu has this 20 million, who needs him anymore?

  But as a brother, he also knew that Xu Yihong's proposal was indeed beautiful for Wang Zhengyu, and it could be said that there were hundreds of benefits but no harm. Who wouldn't want to do something that almost doesn't require paying anything to get 20 million yuan? Although the upload platform is restricted, relying on the performance of this software itself, the promotion of this software has not been affected at all.

  Not to mention that Qihoo even proactively offered to help promote Wang Zhengyu's software. With Qihoo's own resources and strength, they joined forces with the promotion team to help these two students who had no experience in online marketing at all. It would definitely be much faster than them fumbling around on their own.

  So as a brother, although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, there was no reason to dissuade Wang Zhengyu from accepting Xu Yihong's proposal. He could only secretly scold this Qihoo 360 boss for being cunning and treacherous.

  "Alright, you tell him then! Congratulations to you! 200 million RMB is enough to buy a house in Beijing!" Huo Guangbo said with a sullen tone and released his hand covering the phone receiver.

  "Alright, Mr. Xu, I agree with your proposal!"

  "Alright, I don't know when Mr. Wang will be available? Can we sign the agreement in person?"

  "We are both free for the next two days and we are currently in Beijing. We will take a 6 pm flight back to Jiangcheng tomorrow!"

  "Alright, I'll rush back to Beijing today, Mr. Wang keep your phone available, we'll be in touch once I arrive in Beijing! See you!"

  "Goodbye, Mr. Xu!"

  Hanging up the phone, Wang Zhengyu suddenly felt like today was just like a dream.

  First, he made a big splash in the Chinese medicine arena early in the morning and was delighted to have made a net profit of 4 million. Immediately after that, he had a phone call with Xu Yihong, the legendary CEO of Qihoo 360, and even tentatively finalized a contract worth 200 million.

  This made Wang Zhengyu, who had never seen 200,000 yuan in cash in his entire life, feel an unreal sense of happiness. So he hung up the phone and stretched out his hand to pinch Hao Guangbo's face fiercely.

  "Ow, that hurts! What's wrong with you, why did you grab me?" Huo Guangbo slapped away Wang Zhengyu's hand and shouted angrily.

  "Haha, I can feel the pain, so I'm not dreaming! 200 million RMB? Damn, from now on, when I drink yogurt, I won't have to lick the lid anymore!" Wang Zhengyu said with a silly smile.

  "Damn it! You're dreaming, aren't you? Afraid that even in your dreams, you'd still be screwing yourself over? It's just 20 million, can't you just get some dignity?" Huo Guangbo continued to sneer.

  "Haha, isn't it just 200 million? Don't use your family's old man's money, you try to make 200 million for me to see?" Wang Zhengyu said with renewed spirit, teasingly.

  In short, it really left He Guangbo speechless.

  For Huo Guangbo, who was born with his eyes open, the number 200 million RMB is truly not intimidating to him. However, if he were to spend 200 million himself, he would absolutely not hesitate, but if he had to earn 200 million by himself now, he would really be too embarrassed to accept it.

  However, Huo Guangbo, a quick-witted person, immediately shifted the topic and asked out of curiosity: "I say Lao San, just now that Xu Yanzhong wanted to invite you to be the chief technical consultant of Qihoo 360, saying that your software has epoch-making technology. What's going on? Nima, can you really come up with epoch-making technology by playing games every day? You suddenly became a master of traditional Chinese medicine and then suddenly came up with such a powerful APP, without any rumors before, what's the situation?"

  "I used to think it's better to keep a low profile, I mean, if a genius isn't humble, he'll easily be taken as a freak, you know?" Wang Zhengyu said casually, but after finishing his sentence, he felt his face burning up.

  "Low-key? Nima low-key also has to have some bottom line, right? Your boundless low-key is going to scare people! But anyway, you're being low-key just for the sake of it, what's with suddenly being high-key these past two days? You wouldn't actually be trying to prove something to us MoMM, would you?" Ho Guangbo continued to ask.

  Wang Zhengyu, who was worried about how to explain it, immediately echoed after hearing Huo Guangbo's words: "Otherwise? In fact, this APP can also be said to have been accumulating for a long time and finally succeeded at the right moment."

  "Ah, after reading your story, I suddenly feel like I believe in love again!" Ho Guangbo exclaimed.

  "Right, boss, help me out!" Wang Zhengyu suddenly spoke up.

  "What else can I help you with now? A millionaire?" Ho Kwok-bong joked.

  "Tomorrow when I sign the contract with Qian Du, I don't plan to admit that this APP was developed by me! Can you think of a good excuse for me and help me bluff my way through?" Wang Zhengyu said.

  "Why?" Huo Guangbo asked in puzzlement.

  "Hey, don't be fooled, I've developed this APP using quite a few technologies that haven't been patented yet! That Xu Yihong just mentioned it too, our software has been thoroughly analyzed by others. If we openly acknowledge that I independently developed this APP, who's to say others won't have designs on the things I used? Later when we start a company, being constantly targeted wouldn't be good, would it? Better to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly, that's the way to go!" Wang Zhengyu continued to persuade.

  Of course, these words were not Wang Zhengyu's true thoughts.

  If this software was really developed by him, he would not mind showing off at all. The problem is that these things are all made up by Tian Shu, and the technical means used, he still doesn't know about them now, which can easily expose his true nature. It's better to just bluff it through first. Wait until later when Tian Shu has taught him the entire set of techniques before making a high-profile acknowledgement.

  "What you said seems to make some sense! So, let's just say that there is a team behind your back, huh, a hacker team! You're just the person they pushed out to communicate with the outside world. Anyway, those hackers are all mysterious and secretive, so it should be easy to fool them, right?" suggested Huo Guangbo.

  "Go ahead and say that when the time comes. My major just happens to be history, which has nothing to do with programmers!" Wang Zhengyu nodded in agreement.

  "Damn! You still know you're studying history, and you're also good at traditional Chinese medicine and programming... Damn! No wonder the doctor said your brain waves were abnormal when he tested them, are you really a freaking genius?" Huo Guangbo suddenly thought of something and exclaimed.

  "Haha, a history major who didn't study traditional Chinese medicine, how could he possibly become a computer genius?" Wang Zhengyu said with a smirk.
