Chapter 212 (1/2)
When his thoughts passed, shoch asked, ”speaking of apps, Mr. towaz, do you know Apple's iTunes music store?”
Linus nodded. ”I also buy some music from time to time and download it to listen.”
”After this intelligent operating system comes out, I will rely on it to build an online software store like iTunes music store. I would like to ask all experts to help make an application development package so that all program developers can use this application to make up useful programs, fun games and so on. ” Xiao Qi's positive way.
”The application development kit is simple, but... Can this software online store succeed?” Linus frowned and asked.
”Of course.” Xiao Qi nodded. ”We have a good platform to rely on - tablet computers. As long as customers are willing to buy tablet computers, they will like games specially created for this tablet computer, which can't be played in other electronic products. Naturally, they will continue to enter the software store to buy.”
”I see!” Linus suddenly realized, ”you are ready to engage in a closed system and a monopoly!”
”Compared with large companies, these software developers have weaker ability to resist risks. If someone steals their labor achievements, their hard-made programs can't bring them income at all. What a blow to the enthusiasm of developers?” Shoch coaxed, ”Mr. towaz, I'm protecting them. Time will prove that I'm right.”
”I can't tell you... But I'll wait and see who's right.” Linus scratched his head with a bitter smile. ”Don't worry, no matter how different our ideas are, they won't affect the cooperation between you and my friends.”
”Well, please, Mr. towaz.” Xiao Qi thought and said, ”for the owner of the system, the transfer fee is 1% of the net profit. For those who participate in the system improvement and development of the application platform, I decided to pay 0.2% of the net profit. When the annual net profit is less than one billion US dollars, I calculate it by the total profit of one billion US dollars... Do you think such a reward is OK? ”
Linus didn't pay much attention to money, but he heard Xiao Qi say that the minimum is calculated according to one billion. After a little estimation, he grinned: ”well, these guys have a family and business now. They can have so much income, which is enough for them to live a comfortable life!”
A system earns $10 million a year, while a modified system earns $2 million a year. It's an extremely high income. Linus is sure that they are willing to do this business without asking his old friends what they mean.
Next, Xiao Qi began to borrow Linus' computer and printer and wrote the contract.
Linus went to another room and called a group of his old friends.
Linus didn't say who his old friend was, but he can be rated as one of the top 20 hackers in the world. He is definitely a monster at the level of genius.
If they weren't used to appearing in public, if they weren't used to going to this strange place in China, Xiao Qi would like to double the profit share and bind them to China - with this technology, he's afraid that his software system will not be world-class in the future?
Hackers are neither politicians nor crafty businessmen, so Linus communicated for half an hour and was ready.
Linus asked Xiao Qi to print a sales contract for the intelligent operating system and four entrusted modification contracts. After Xiao Qi took the lead in signing, the matter was half completed.
At the same time, the advance payment of US $10 million allocated by Xiao Qi also went to Linus's Secret account at the Swiss bank. As for how he handed it over to these hackers, it was not a problem Xiao Qi had to worry about.
Anyway, what he left was the telephone number and address of Mario's lawyer. The contract signed by the hackers will be sent to Mario as the company's data for archiving.
Looking at Linus' crackling operation on the computer and talking with his friends, Xiao Qi is a little dazzled. Even Xiao Qi, who is very proficient in computers, can't see clearly this kind of computer application means in the form of speeding and super password. No wonder he is a top hacker!
