“Alright, I understand. Please tell your boss that the door will always be open for him,” Wei Dajin replied with a frown after receiving Zhao Na’s call.

“Also, if you’re not satisfied with the terms offered by Huawei, please state your terms. I’ll inform the company and let them consider.” Wei Dajin maintained his professionalism. His tone didn’t change at all although he was unhappy about being rejected.

Right on the heels of that, Zhao Na and Wang Qian got on the line.

“Director Zhao, Heyme Corporation is sincere about this. Please consider carefully. If you’re not satisfied with our terms, please state so directly.” Heyme Corporation had the lowest hardware profit margin. The margin on a 1,000 yuan entry-level phone was only 50 yuan.

!!

If Heyme could obtain the exclusive rights to use the Divine Dragon Optimization App, a phone’s performance on the same hardware would be doubled.

Although the price of the phone could not be doubled, increasing it from 1,000 yuan to 1,500 yuan wasn’t an issue. Moreover, after the price increased to 1,500 yuan, its performance could even crush other manufacturers’ 2,000 yuan phones.

Before they came, the senior management of Heyme Corporation convened a special meeting. They were unanimous that no matter what method they used or what price they paid, they had to get the Divine Dragon Optimization App!

Moreover, five million Heyme entry-level models had already been produced in the factory this year.

The plan was to release it on April 1st. If the Divine Dragon Optimization App became popular in the market, everyone’s old phones would have fast processing speed and would function very well. Their performance would even surpass their newly released phones. Who would then buy the five million phones that had already been produced?

Once they obtained the exclusive rights to the Divine Dragon Optimization App, they would install it on these five million phones. This batch of phones would offer mid-level performance at the entry-level price, they would definitely become the bestseller of the year.

“I’m sorry, President Wang. Our boss has no plans to sell the Divine Dragon Optimization App.” Zhao Na’s tone was firm.

After Wang Qian thought for a while, he could only make a second proposal.

Huawei and Heyme proposed acquiring the Divine Dragon Software Company as this was the cheapest solution.

“Director Zhao, have you considered other methods of collaboration? The Divine Dragon Optimization App can be licensed exclusively to Heyme phones. We are willing to buy the permanent right to use the Divine Dragon Optimization App at 18 yuan per phone.”

“Heyme sold 200 million Android devices in 2046, which was last year.”

“If the Divine Dragon Optimization App was installed on all the devices, the annual software license fee will hit 3.6 billion yuan!”

Heyme Corporation had done its sums. After monopolizing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, their phones would definitely be positioned at a higher level. The prices would increase, and the number of devices sold would definitely decrease.

Moreover, while using the Divine Dragon Optimization App, the software department of Heyme Corporation would also think of ways to reverse engineer the App.

As long as they obtained the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it would not be hard for Heyme Corporation to imitate it.

As long as it was not a direct copy, they wouldn’t breach any patent laws.

More often than not, the most critical part of software function implementation was the original thought process. As long as one understood the method, there were countless ways to achieve the same functions.

“President Wang, I’ll report your proposal to my boss. I’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news,” Zhao Na replied calmly. In the morning, she was indeed shocked by the price Heyme offered. Now that she was more prepared, she wouldn’t be that shaken even if the price was doubled.

After ending the call with Wang Qian, Zhao Na called all the companies that left that contact details.

This was an unpleasant process. The companies all expressed their displeasure despite all the explanation she gave.

Especially Zhang Qinglan from OPPO. After he received Zhao Na’s call, he blew his top.

That was because OPPO had already prepared four million phones for the Spring launch. They were also focused on the entry-level models.

Just like Heyme, the launch would be held on April 1st.

If the Divine Dragon Optimization App became popular, it would be difficult to sell these four million phones.

Although they were all entry-level phones, the average cost was no less than 1,500 yuan each. The cost of four million phones was more than six billion yuan!

He offered 100 million yuan to test the waters with Li Chengqian.

Now that he didn’t even manage to meet Li Chengqian in person, how was he going to answer to the board of directors when he went back?

Zhang Qinglan’s tone immediately changed. “Director Zhao, please let me meet your boss no matter what.”

“President Zhang, I’m sorry. Our boss is very busy and can’t meet you for the time being.” When Zhao Na heard Zhang Qinglan’s tone, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly even though her tone remained unchanged. Women are vindictive creatures. She remembered everything Zhang Qinglan said in the morning and how he looked down on her.

…

Baidu Corporation, Internet Services Department.

President Qian Wenxin sneered after he had carefully read the message sent by the CEO. “This boss of Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian, simply doesn’t know what is good for him. The Executive Vice President of Baidu had gone to see him personally and he didn’t even bother to meet him.”

“How can a small company be so arrogant?”

“Let me put you back in your place, so you know how to behave in the future!”

Qian Wenxin was the head of Baidu Internet Services Department and one of the co-founders of Baidu Corporation. He had another identity, he was the famous hacker on the dark web, Millennium J!

Qian Wenxin put his phone back on the desk and quickly got down to work.

After a few simple commands were entered into the computer, a progress bar appeared on the computer screen.

“We went to make an offer for your software but you’re arrogant and conceited. It’s fine if you weren’t hospitable to us, but you didn’t even meet us once.”

“In that case, I’ll get this software myself!”

…

In the software support department of the Tencent Corporation, the usage of the rented supercomputers has reached 100%.

At this moment, the supercomputer was running a software developed internally by the Tencent Corporation, which was specially used for reverse engineering.

This software was extremely advanced. It could crack almost any software on the market and obtain the source code of the software.

In the middle of the big screen in the software support department was the icon of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

Under the icon, there was a progress bar. At this moment, the progress bar was already midway.

In the conference room where the big screen was located, Dr. Li Lin, who had returned from overseas, reported the situation to the CEO confidently. “CEO, in at most six hours, we will crack the Divine Dragon Optimization App.”

“We’ll get the source code once we crack it.”

“We want to learn from the source code. With the help of the ideas in the source code, we will develop more advanced new projects,” Dr. Li Lin said with a smile.

“Li Chengqian is really a genius. I can’t wait to see how the Divine Dragon Optimization App will double Android’s efficiency.”

“This is a genius idea.”

...

“However, this idea will soon belong to the Tencent Corporation.” Li Lin was very surprised by Li Chengqian’s talent.

But that was all.

Because every software he cracked was developed by a genius.

Every software was a genius’ creativity.

After these geniuses’ proudest works were cracked and replicated, they would disappear into oblivion.

In the end, they would basically disappear into the masses and become inconspicuous existences.

“President, you’ll be scolded by the netizens again this time,” Li Lin said jokingly.

“The internet has no memory.” The CEO smiled indifferently. Every time he copied an idea, he would be the target of insults, but it wouldn’t be long before he would be forgotten by netizens. And each time he copied an idea, he would make a lot of profit for the company.

“This time, I had wanted to obtain the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App through legitimate means. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian from Divine Dragon Software Company didn’t appreciate it and didn’t even want to meet our company representative.”

“A little arrogant, too much.”

“This is too much, they have to pay the price for this.”

...

Alibaba and Huawei also had a large number of software and hardware engineers analyzing the operating method of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Unlike other companies, these two companies had invested a large amount of money to develop their own virtual machines.

They are very familiar with how virtual machines work.

They didn’t need to see the source code of the Divine Dragon Optimization App at all. All they needed to do was to analyze the way the App increased operating efficiency, and they would be able to do the same within a short period of time.
