Chapter 1036 (1/2)
Blackmail! This is naked blackmail!
Wang Zhidong's eyes were filled with anger.
”Boss, just now, on a website dedicated to selling software in the United States, we announced the commercial price of winzip, US $1 billion!” The technical director hurried over and reported.
”What!” Wang Zhidong exclaimed.
This is sick.
Sell $1 billion! This is a joke.
Indeed, a small software that sells for $1 billion is indeed a joke.
That's an exaggeration.
This not only exaggerated Wang Zhidong, but also shocked the American IT industry.
Although it is said that $1 billion is not much in the United States today. Especially in the IT industry, in recent years, various merger cases have emerged one after another. Tens of billions of dollars are no wonder.
But the problem is that you sell a little-known software for $1 billion. Should this be too exaggerated.
Especially before that, it was completely free.
Now commercial, it is $1 billion. Don't exaggerate!
Naturally, it's not clear what happened in China in the United States. It just feels too sudden and exaggerated.
However, even though everyone talked and commented that it was not worth so much money, at least the outside world recognized the pricing.
Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, as the owner of winzip, it is not impossible to price $1 billion.
People have this right. Even if a stone on the roadside is put up for public auction of $1 billion, it is the right of others. As long as there is no fraud involved.
But now, in this way, it's a general.
Let Wang Zhidong feel a little embarrassed.
”Are we really going to pay so much?” Asked Wang Zhidong.
”In theory, it must be able to prove that it is really worth so much money to pay.” The legal adviser said, ”if no one cares, it's no problem.”
”What shall we do if no one cares?” Asked Wang Zhidong.
”Then we need to find a third party to evaluate it, and then make compensation!” The legal adviser said, ”of course, we have to bear all the expenses if we lose the lawsuit in the end. Therefore, it is common international practice to handle such matters through consultation and peace talks! ”
Negotiation and peace talks? Doesn't that mean going to find Jiang Yong?
I thought a few days ago that Jiang Yong came and was driven away by himself. Now I go to find him myself. Isn't that a humiliation! He's not going, absolutely not!
The legal adviser looked at the indignant Wang Zhidong and opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up.
The best choice for this matter is peace talks and consultations.
As far as face is concerned, it really doesn't matter. What matters is money. Face or something. You can earn it back if you lose it.
On the contrary, the loss is real gold and silver. And the loss is so great.
