Can you help me translate this? Is it okay?
Wearing headphones, with his back to the dormitory door, Wang Zhengyu was so engrossed in playing that he didn't even hear the door being knocked on. After half a day of not responding, the door was pushed open, and he didn't notice a girl wearing a coffee-colored sweater and light blue jeans quietly walking in and standing behind him. Her originally calm face showed a hint of anger when she saw Wang Zhengyu being so absorbed in the game.
Without disturbing Wang Zhengyu in the game, the girl turned around and was about to leave. At this time, the dormitory door was suddenly kicked open by someone, making a loud noise, startling Wang Zhengyu who was still playing the game, and scaring the girl who was about to leave. Then, He Guangbo's excited voice came: "Old Three, hurry up and see what I've got..."
Wang Zhengyu took off his headphones and turned around; Huo Guangbo's words stopped halfway, and the two suddenly froze. Their eyes were fixed on the girl who was standing in the middle of the dormitory, ready to leave, causing her originally pale face to flush with a hint of red instantly.
"Huh? Ah! How could I have forgotten that I haven't eaten yet?! Oh no, my stomach is so hungry. Hey, Xiaoyao sister, you guys chat first, I'm going to go eat!" After saying that, Huo Guangbo didn't care how fake he sounded and turned around to leave. Just as he took two steps, he suddenly turned back around, smiled at the two people still in the dorm room, and then jogged to the door to carefully close it behind him.
Wang Zhengyu scratched his head and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time: "Uh, Mo Xiaoyao, how did you get here? Is there something going on?"
Wang Zhengyu didn't say anything, but as soon as he did, the girl who had always been calm and collected suddenly burst out in anger. She turned around and questioned him in a rare fierce tone: "Don't mention me, you skipped half a month of classes just to play games in your dorm every day? I think I was wrong about you, I'm leaving!"
The girl didn't give Wang Zhengyu a chance to explain, and was about to leave again. At this time, Wang Zhengyu, who had always been numb to emotions, suddenly found the courage to quickly step forward, grab the girl's hand, and urgently explained: "It's not like that, Mo Xiaoyao, listen to me, I really haven't played games for half a month, and today I only played for less than two hours!"
"Let... let go!" The girl didn't heed Wang Zhengyu's explanation, but instead hastily opened her mouth to scold him. Her round and smooth little face was red, like the morning glow at sunset, it was unclear whether it was due to tension or anger.
Mo Xiao's words reminded Wang Zhengyu, who was only feeling wronged at the time, that he was doing something so bold. He couldn't help but carefully feel the sensation in his hand, hmm, very soft and smooth, slightly cool, especially comfortable.
"No way, you have to promise me to listen to my explanation first, then I'll let go!" Wang Zhengyu tried his best to stall for time with his most serious tone, but the slippery feeling on his right hand felt too good, and he couldn't bear to let go.
"You... Fine, I'll listen to your explanation, hurry up and let me go first!" Mo Xiao Yao said with her head hung low in anger.
"What you said, I must explain!" Wang Zhengyu emphasized, reluctantly releasing the girl's hand, and immediately began to explain: "Actually, these days I have been developing a software in my dormitory. I plan to start a technology company with Lao Da, and the software I am designing now will be one of the main products of our company in the future. I just finished designing it and was testing its performance, that's why I was playing games!"
"Will you still develop software?" Mo Xiao Yao looked at the young man in front of her with a suspicious expression, his expression seemed to be truly sincere. This information was indeed a bit overwhelming, Wang Zheng Yu's level of traditional Chinese medicine had already shocked her once, and now it seemed that he had another new skill, was it true?
"Of course!" Wang Zhengyu puffed out his chest and said proudly.
"What software is going to be tested with games?" Mo Xiaoyao asked closely.
Wang Zhengyu suddenly became tongue-tied, it was really a very troublesome thing to explain this operating system, and Wang Zhengyu didn't know where to start for a while. However, this expression seemed obvious to the girl that Wang Zhengyu had been caught off guard and didn't know how to explain himself. Just as the girl's face turned cold again, ready to speak up once more, Wang Zhengyu's phone suddenly rang.
"Sir, you have a transoceanic call from California, USA, would you like to take it?"
The two were stunned at the same time, Wang Zhengyu thought of the negotiation with Apple just now, while Mo Xiaoyao was clearly wondering how there would be a call from California, USA to find Wang Zhengyu.
"Let me answer this call first, I'll explain to you later, okay? You're not allowed to leave!" Wang Zhengyu suddenly looked at Mo Xiaoyao with a serious expression and said in a domineering tone.
The girl may have been intimidated by Wang Zhengyu's domineering attitude at this time and nodded unconsciously.
Seeing the girl's movement, Wang Zhengyu carefully retreated to the table, quickly turned around and picked up the phone, saying "Answer!"
"Hello!" The authentic M country accent coming from the phone sounded especially stylish.
"Hello!" Wang Zhengyu replied absent-mindedly, but his eyes remained fixed on the girl standing beside him, as if he was afraid she would suddenly disappear without warning.
“I’m……”
Wang Zhengyu was suddenly stunned, because after he finished greeting, he found that the string of English spoken by the person in front of him, except for understanding the first two words "I am", he didn't understand a single word afterwards. It wasn't until then that he realized that for someone like him who couldn't even understand CET-4 listening comprehension questions, communicating directly with a native M country speaker was an unreliable thing to do.
Then Wang Zhengyu suddenly shouted at the phone, "Wait a minute!" Afterwards, he didn't care if the other party understood or not, and directly covered the receiver. He looked at the girl beside him with a pleading gaze and said, "That Mo Xiaoyao, how's your English? Can you help me translate now?"
Mo Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, didn't respond, and only stretched out her hand to signal Wang Zheng Yu to pass the phone over to her. After taking the phone, the girl naturally put it up to her ear.
"Hello, hello!" The person on the other end of the phone from Country M apparently didn't understand what was going on and kept waving.
"Hello, this is Wang Zhengyu's phone. He has asked me to translate for you. May I ask who you are?" The girl's fluent American English made Wang Zhengyu standing beside her feel embarrassed.
"Oh, hello, I'm Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple. I'd like to ask you to first extend my greetings to Mr. Wang!" The first sentence on the phone call made the face of the girl who answered the phone turn bright red instantly.
"Tim Cook? The current CEO of Apple? The Apple that makes amazing phones, tablets and computers?" the girl asked unconsciously in English.
"Ah, yes, that's right, it's Apple! Thank you for the compliment!" A polite and courteous voice came from the phone.
"He said his name is Cook, CEO of Apple, and he's saying hello to you!" The girl lifted her head and spoke to Wang Zhengyu in a dazed tone.
Wang Zhengyu rubbed his head, and the strange feeling rose again in his heart. This mode of negotiation, which had been relayed once, made him somewhat unaccustomed to it, let alone that he was acting as a temporary interpreter for the girl he had secretly loved.
"Then, help me thank him and ask how he's considering the conditions I proposed!" Wang Zhengyu thought for a moment before responding.
Pushing down the infinite doubts in her heart, Mo Xiaoyao repeated Wang Zhengyu's words.
"He said that your terms are a bit too harsh, and in Apple's history, there has never been a similar transaction method. He hopes that both parties can complete this transaction in a more equitable way, for example, they can give a copyright price that satisfies both parties!" After accepting the reality, Mo Xiaoyao played a very professional role as a translator.
"Huh?" Wang Zhengyu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Then help me ask him how much he can give at most."
"He said Apple is willing to pay $50 million to buy the entire copyright of the software, including future versions that will be synchronized with Android upgrades! As well as any other language versions that may be released globally in the future!" Mo Xiaoyao felt like she couldn't think anymore. Although from a young age, Mo Xiaoyao had never had a concept of money because she had always had enough to spend, but the number $50 million still exceeded her imagination.
She suddenly remembered a sentence her grandfather said when analyzing Wang Zhengyu, "This kid must have found a more suitable direction for himself to give up traditional Chinese medicine!" From today's phone call, it seems that her grandfather is indeed very accurate in judging people. However, this made the girl who thought she had already figured out Wang Zhengyu feel confused again, and the boy who was close at hand became an enigmatic existence in her eyes once more.
"Can you ask him how many iPhones are sold in China and around the world? Then can you also ask him if this software were to adopt a monthly subscription model, even if it's just $5-10 per month, what kind of revenue could it generate?" Wang Zhengyu said calmly.
"Mr. Cook said that the account is not calculated in this way, technology will always move forward, and no technology can remain ahead forever, even world-class companies like Microsoft and Apple dare not guarantee to achieve this point, they just do their best to make it better! So he thinks that a software product cannot last forever, nobody can predict what will happen tomorrow, maybe another software with better user experience will appear and replace the status of this software, so this calculation method is meaningless!"
It's clear that Tim Cook's words are very reasonable, and Mo Xiao Yao feels like she's almost being persuaded by him.
However, this remark obviously had no effect on Wang Zhengyu. He just joked and said: "Oh, trouble to tell him that since he thinks so, there's nothing to talk about! By the way, help me wish him a happy tomorrow, and there will be a voice-controlled smart home software that can be used on Apple. Also, tell him that I predict Apple's tomorrow will be better!"
