Not cultured, how scary?

  Li Yulei is very depressed.

  He can't recall when he was last treated so rudely, yet now he's been interrupted twice by a young man with no courtesy.

  If it weren't for Apple's slow response to this software incident, which has already been criticized by headquarters; if it weren't for the fact that this software has indeed affected Apple's sales; if it weren't for the fact that the iPhone 6 is about to be released in China in two days; and if it weren't for the fact that this voice-controlled smartphone butler has damaged Apple's reputation, Li Yurui would have hung up the phone directly.

  It's just that reality has no ifs, and after years of fighting in the business world, he wouldn't be like a young man who can't control his temper when Wang Zhengyu repeatedly interrupted him. He changed his conversation style very quickly, becoming more concise and efficient.

  "We are willing to offer an annual salary of $8 million to hire a developer or development team directly. We will sign a contract for at least 10 years. Just to buy out the copyright of the voice-controlled smart home IOS version, we are willing to pay $20 million! Of course, the contract will specify that the IOS version of this software will be updated synchronously with the Android version!"

  Wang Zhengyu thought for a moment, and naturally filtered out the employment contract. He directly asked, "Buyout of copyright? So the profit from selling the voice-controlled smart home device in Apple's online store has nothing to do with me?"

  "Of course!" Li Yulei said succinctly.

  "That's it! You're not sincere!" Wang Zhengyu said decisively in response to Li Yulei.

  Li Yulei almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard Wang Zhengyu's insincere words.

  Is an annual salary of $8 million or a one-time payment of $20 million for an app not generous enough? What is considered generous then? To put things into perspective, the design director at Apple's headquarters makes less than $2 million per year. The fact that Apple is willing to pay $8 million to hire a software designer is already a sky-high offer.

  And $200 million is just to buy the copyright of an app, not even including its technical patents, and it can only be sold in China, this is absolutely a historic first for Apple, if this is called no sincerity, then what is called sincerity?

  In fact, Apple has never been as sincere as it is today since its inception, especially to a Chinese software developer.

  But Li Yulei could only be patient and continued: "I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks is considered sincere?"

  "It's simple, give me 20 million and I'll get the software done and uploaded. The profit from sales after it's listed on Apple's online store will also be mine!" Wang Zhengyu said matter-of-factly.

  Wang Zhengyu had never thought of using an Apple device before, so he didn't understand it at all. He naively thought that spending 20 million to buy exclusive rights was the only way to show sincerity, just like Qihoo did.

  But Wang Zhengyu didn't realize that Apple's online store and Qihoo's Android app market are not the same thing at all. The Android app market, due to Google's open-sourcing of the Android system, is an open platform with multiple competing players; while Apple's iOS system is closed-source, and the Apple App Store is the official app store, which is also the only legitimate app store for Apple, so why would anyone compete with it? Does he need to spend $20 million or more to buy a franchise?

  This fact fully illustrates that being uncultured is indeed terrifying, and can scare people. At least at this time, Li Yurui's mind was blown wide open, and he didn't know what to say. He suddenly had a feeling that the person on the other end of the phone was asking for protection money from Apple.

  Isn't that right? Apple spent $200 million to ask you to upload a software to its own store, and after making money, it has to give all of it to you. What kind of logic is this? Isn't this just relying on one's own technology to extort Apple? Do you dare not to give in? If you don't give in, I won't let your app be uploaded, and then your phones can't be sold.

  Bad gangs rely on violence for protection fees, and bad programmers rely on technology for protection fees. There is no essential difference between the two!

  "Sorry, your request has exceeded my authority, or we'll both take a step back, we're willing to raise the acquisition chips to $30 million!"

  "What? Are you overstepping your authority? Don't you have any sincerity at all? If you don't have the authority, then let that Cook guy come and talk to me! Honestly, it's really true that you people have no sincerity whatsoever! Let's just say it straight out, I'm not going to sell the software copyright to you!" Wang Zhengyu said indignantly.

  Obviously, Wang Zhengyu has started acting strangely again.

  However, this also has to criticize Yu Yanhong. Signing a small contract of 20 million, he actually took the initiative to personally attend, directly nurturing Wang Zhengyu's appetite, and felt that talking business with a large company's big BOSS was nothing remarkable.

  He didn't realize that Apple was a company like no other, the world's most valuable high-tech company, and someone else would send the head of the entire Asia-Pacific region to talk to him, an unknown small fry, which was already a huge courtesy, but he wasn't satisfied, feeling unimportant...

  Li Yulei felt like he was going crazy, what did he just hear in Wang Zhengyu's tone? Dissatisfaction? Anger? But he wasn't even angry yet! What right does that nameless kid have to be angry?! What is this situation?! Or are the two people not even on the same level?!

  In fact, being able to hold on until now without smashing the phone in hand is enough to show Li Yurui's tolerance. If it were someone with a bigger temper, they would have already started arguing loudly.

  However, even if Li Yulei could bear it, he didn't know what to say at this time. Others had already said that the software copyright itself couldn't be sold, so what else could he say? And if according to Wang Zhengyu's conditions, giving money without wanting the copyright, then it wasn't something he could decide on his own. Because that wouldn't just be a matter of money, but also involved a matter of face.

  Because if this deal were to be exposed, he believed it would spread all over the world in no time, and Apple, which was already a tall tree attracting wind, would become a laughing stock for the whole world.

  "He can even imagine what those venomous talk show hosts in Country M would say: "Hey, do you know? The world's largest high-tech company spent $20 million to pay protection fees to a young Chinese guy, praying that he wouldn't kick Apple's scene..."

  Thinking of this, Li Yulei couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. At this moment, the voice that made him grit his teeth with hatred came from the other end of the phone again.

  "Let's just leave it at that. Same old story, if you can't make a decision, let someone who can decide talk to me! Yeah, that's it, don't bother calling again, my time is precious!"

  Li Yulei finally couldn't bear it anymore and heavily slammed the microphone on the table.

  Just after falling down for a short while, Li Yulei took a look at the time and had to pick it up in a hurry.

  It was already 9 am, and considering the time difference, it was already 5 pm in California, USA. He had to hurry up and call headquarters, or else the executives would have all gone home for the day.

  Li Yulei hastily connected the outside secretary and instructed: "Help me connect the headquarters phone!"

  ……

  Wang Zhengyu hung up the phone and no longer considered the sudden call from Apple Huaxia, fully immersing himself in his own system.

  He didn't know that his ignorance almost caused an Apple executive to have a hormonal imbalance. But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care anyway. After all, he doesn't use Apple products.

  What's more important is that at this moment, nothing is more important to him than this operating system. He doesn't just want to make money from it, but also wants to contribute his strength to the country's information security, right?

  Back up all important data and systems on the laptop, copy the packaged operating system to a U disk, then Fang Zhengyu started installing it on the laptop.

  In fact, this is a short and concise operating system, with a total of only over 200MB. Because it does not need to support any applications, it also does not require hardware driver packages. In just five minutes, the laptop screen displays the installation completion prompt and the system will restart.

  The laptop restarts and directly enters the system interface.

  Like Windows, this is a graphical operating interface, but the entire desktop is unusually simple, with only two Chinese icons for encryption management and system access.

  Wang Zhengyu directly clicked on the system access icon, and a options interface popped up on the computer, CD-ROM installation, package installation, backup import.

  Because the system backup had been done before, Wang Zhengyu directly chose to import the backup. Then, after manually specifying the location of the backup package, the system automatically popped up an import progress bar.

  In just one minute, the backup was directly imported and completed, the progress bar automatically disappeared, and an additional icon of Win 7 Ultimate Edition appeared on the desktop.

  Finally at the most critical moment, Wang Zhengyu let out a breath and moved the mouse to this icon, then directly double-clicked on it.

  The entire screen suddenly went black, but just as Wang Zhengyu's little heart had just hung up, the screen lit up again and directly entered the Win7 startup interface.

  "YES!" Wang Zhengyu excitedly jumped up. Being able to get to this step already shows that he hasn't made any mistakes, now he just needs to test the effect of this operating system.

  After entering WIN7, it was still the original interface, but when running various programs, Wang Zhengyu felt that the speed had increased significantly. To prove that this was not his own illusion, Wang Zhengyu eagerly opened the League of Legends that he hadn't touched for half a month.

  For half a month, Wang Zhengyu was almost suffocated. At this time, he could find a legitimate reason to play games, and Wang Zhengyu would not be polite. He immediately became addicted to the game and started shouting loudly.

  "Sister, what a coincidence! You appeared at this time and snatched the spotlight?"

  "Are you from Baita Primary School? The ice wall blocks the way for teammates..."

  "My god, how did I get a dead... Oh, it's my girlfriend's call. Congratulations, you got the biggest LOL dizzy skill..."
