David has had a hard time recently. As the head of Microsoft's product development department, he has been hosting the development of video software for nearly half a year. If this software can be interviewed, it will definitely be a qualitative leap for Microsoft. They can increase the market share of the operating system through bundling sales, so that they can completely get rid of their competitors and take the lead.

At this moment, David was standing in Gaz's office with his head down and listening to his boss's speech. Gaz said: "David, I just want to see the results! Even if your semi-finished products were stolen by hackers, can't you quickly cheer up and continue working hard? It's been half a year since I haven't seen anything decent. Who should pay for the company's large amount of capital investment?!"

David felt a little unbalanced: Since you know that our achievements were stolen by the hacker, you still say such things? It’s not that we don’t work hard, but that all the relevant information was swept away by the hacker! We can only start from scratch now. Isn’t it difficult for you to say these words now?

Who stole David's R&D results? The answer is the elves. When the elves wandered alone in the online world, they would take them away without any hesitation when they saw what they like, and they would take them away with all the documents. They could be said to have been swept away completely, and there were no hairs left wherever they went.

This incident triggered joint protests from major computer companies including Microsoft. As Microsoft's boss, Gates knew very well about this, but he had no choice. Microsoft's life is not easy now. They just broke up with IBM and Apple and lost these two major customers. Microsoft's market share will plummet. If they cannot launch new products of epoch-making significance, they are afraid they will be left behind by their competitors.

Seeing David bowing his head and saying nothing, Gaz felt a little sad. David followed him for many years and still wanted to comfort him. He sighed and said, "Oh, David, the tone of my speech just now is a bit heavy, but please understand my difficulties. We have had huge differences with IBM and Apple. If we don't fight hard, we will lose everything in the near future. Maybe at this time next year, you and I will become paupers."

David sighed when he heard this, and then said, "I know, boss, I will work overtime to continue developing video software. Microsoft also has my efforts in it. I won't watch her fall!"

When Gaz heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, go and do it, remember to pay attention to your health."

David walked out of Gads' office and soon arrived at the development department. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the development department was still busy. Seeing the programmers so devoted, David felt a little comforted. He sat down in front of his computer and began to guide the work.

After about ten minutes, David suddenly found a line of words appearing on his computer: "I have a video software in my hand. Are you interested?"

David was stunned for a moment, and he immediately understood: This is a hacker! The hateful hacker is coming again! - Wait, he has the video software in his hand? Could it be the one he stole from us, right? But that software has not been written, what's going on?

David wanted to find out what was going on, so he replied under the dialog box: "Who are you?"

"Your question is stupid. If I were you, I would definitely want to see the performance of this software first."

David was stunned when he saw the other party’s reply, and then he typed: “Would you like me to see your software?”

"This is OK. I'll send you the software now. You can check it out first. I'll come again in half an hour."

Not long after the other party sent this message, the file receiving option was displayed on David's computer screen. David clicked "Receive" without hesitation. Three minutes later, the file transfer was completed, and David immediately began to analyze the software.

After less than two minutes, David was stunned and would only say "Oh Mai Ka"!

Originally, David thought the video software given by the other party was a semi-finished product stolen from them, but after watching it, he realized that he was wrong. This software has no similarity to the semi-finished product they stolen before! Its performance is simply perfect!

After sitting for a while, David stood up and ran towards Gaz's office. After a few minutes, Gaz followed the excited David to the technical development department. After looking at the software in detail, Gaz was also stunned. He opened his eyes wide and said: "Oh my God... it's so perfect!"

Gates is also a programming expert. Of course, he knows the advantages of this software. What makes him most satisfied is that this software is actually compatible with Microsoft's operating system!

Gates is a very ambitious person. He has always been striving for Microsoft to become the world's largest software company. Seeing this software, he felt that it was not a big deal to break up with IBM and Apple just now - it doesn't matter if you don't want to work with me, so naturally other companies will cooperate with me!

In this era, computers have become quite popular in the United States. In order to satisfy the tastes of the people, major computer companies have tried their best. Whoever can win the public's love can occupy the absolute share of the computer market. Video software has this ability - as a computer, one can play audio and video files, and the other does not have this function. Which one would you choose?

Gaz seemed very excited, but after a moment he wondered: "David, didn't you say that everything has to start from scratch? So where did this software come from?"

David was so excited just now that he didn't mention this. When he heard Gaz ask, he told the story about it. After listening to it, Gaz was silent for a moment, and then said, "It seems that the other party wants to sell this software to us."

David nodded and said, "I think so too, boss, how much do you want to buy it?"

Gaz was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "This requires negotiation, well... as long as it does not exceed five million US dollars, we can all accept it."

The two of them then waited quietly in front of the computer. After more than ten minutes, the mysterious figure appeared again: "I guess you have learned about the performance of this software in detail, right? What do you think?"

As the boss of Microsoft, Gates was naturally in charge of negotiations. He typed: "We are very satisfied. I wonder if you want to sell it to us?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't make it compatible with the window system. Have you figured out the price?"

"How much do you want to sell?"

"How about ten million US dollars?"

Seeing the other party offered a high price of 10 million US dollars, Gaz immediately replied: "This is too expensive. After all, this is not an operating system. Although it is very good, it is impossible to sell for so much money."

"Haha, then what is the highest price you can give? Don't be too stingy. If you think this software can only be sold to Microsoft, that would be a big mistake. I have other versions, and it's not difficult for me to make it compatible with other operating systems."

Not to mention, Gaz really has this idea. He felt that since this software is compatible with the window operating system, it should be sold to Microsoft. Gaz originally wanted to use this to reduce the price, but when he saw the other party's words, he became a little uncertain. After a while, he typed: "Let's do this, we give a price of one million US dollars, what do you think?"

"Are you kidding? You want to buy it for one million dollars? It seems that your sincerity is not enough. Let's do it. I'll give you the last chance to bid. If I can't satisfy me, I won't show up again."

Gates thought for a moment when he saw this, then gritted his teeth and typed: "Okay, you won, we will pay $5 million to buy this software. Friend, this is the highest price we have given. Even if you sell it to another company, it will not exceed this price."

After Gaz sent the message for a while, the other party replied: "Okay, I'll send you the source code of this software to you now. You can check it. If you have no questions, please transfer the money to this account."

For a software, the source code is the most important. The transaction between software ownership is actually the transaction between source code. Even if the person who writes the software hand over the source code, he loses absolute control over the software. The other party can firmly control the software by modifying the source code.

David knew this very well. He made a small plan at this moment and heard him say to Gaz: "Boss, we can not pay after we get the source code. As long as we modify the source code, this software will be ours. Anyway, he has not applied for a patent."

As soon as David finished speaking, the other party sent out a message: "Of course, you can refuse to pay the bill after getting the source code, but I want to remind you that there are many vulnerabilities in your window operating system. If I publish the vulnerabilities I have in my hands, your losses will definitely exceed the value of this software!"

This is a bare threat. Although he didn't know what loopholes the other party had in the windows operating system, Gaz didn't dare to try it easily. He replied: "Don't worry, we are a big company with reputation guarantees and will not do such a thing as backfire."

Fifteen minutes later, Feng Xiaotian sat in front of the computer and stared at his UBS account. This account was handled by him just as an American. Looking at the five million US dollars in the account, Feng Xiaotian suddenly felt that it was not difficult to make money. It only took two days since he wrote this software. If converted into RMB, it would be equivalent to his daily income exceeding 15 million!

After sitting for a while, Feng Xiaotian came up with this idea: Microsoft's money is easy to make, well, continue!
