#99 - Negotiation
After saying goodbye to Raymond, Fang Yuan didn't dwell on the news he brought.
However, he did spend some time digesting it, not because Raymond gave him a lot of money.
But because after such a long time, he finally saw some return on his investment.
Qoqo currently doesn't have a way to make a profit, or rather, it won't bring any revenue to Fang Yuan for a long time to come.
But when the user base accumulates to a certain level, or when Fang Yuan ventures into the hardware field, that's when Qoqo will really take off.
20 million RMB isn't a particularly big help for Qoqo's development.
But it can allow Kyushu Company to sustain itself for a longer period.
After all, relying solely on the 5 million USD invested by Liu Zhijun isn't enough to keep Qoqo afloat.
Probably when the translation software goes online, Kyushu will have a profit point.
Whether it's paid translation or advertising revenue, it's a considerable income.
After all, a useful translation software is quite attractive to users.
Especially for college students, whether it's for papers or daily studies, they can't do without translation software.
Compared to human translation, machine translation is faster and cheaper.
As long as the accuracy can be guaranteed, Fang Yuan believes that many users will pay for it.
With the language database completed, Fang Yuan thought for a moment and dialed Liu Zhijun's number.
There were two things he wanted to discuss with Liu Zhijun.
One was the matter of selling the extension program to Fruit Company.
The other was to discuss the translation software with Liu Zhijun.
"Teacher Liu, I have two things I want to ask you about!" Fang Yuan said straightforwardly. 'Teacher Liu' was his respectful way of addressing Liu Zhijun.
After all, with Liu Zhijun's abilities, he was more than qualified to be Fang Yuan's teacher.
"Oh, little boss! What's the matter? Tell me about it!" Liu Zhijun said in a relaxed tone.
After a period of hard work, Qoqo's download volume has made great progress.
It has already entered the top twenty in the Android app store, and the free list of Fruit's APP Store has already reached the top ten.
"How about this, I happen to have a day off tomorrow, let's arrange a time to meet!" Fang Yuan thought for a moment, feeling it would be better to talk in person.
"Okay, let's meet at the company then. I happen to have some things to deal with at the company tomorrow!" Liu Zhijun said.
"Okay, then I'll come to the company to find you tomorrow," Fang Yuan said.
Early the next morning, Fang Yuan slowly drove his car towards Kyushu.
It had been a while since Fang Yuan last came.
Apart from a few more sets of servers in the computer room, there were no other changes in the company.
Ah, no, there were still changes. Compared to the last time he came, the company's facilities had become more complete.
Whether it was the tea room, activity room, or smoking room, everything had been arranged.
After all, they were all technical personnel, and the greatest daily demand was for cigarettes and coffee.
Qoqo was already very complete, and the corresponding functions had been completed by these technical personnel.
If there was anything imperfect, it might be that Qoqo's extension functions were still relatively few.
Especially the popular smart home sector, in this regard, Qoqo was still in a weak state.
This state wouldn't last long, because Qoqo could improve itself.
Although it wasn't true artificial intelligence in the real sense, Qoqo's learning algorithm was already infinitely close to that level.
The employees here had all seen Fang Yuan last time.
It's also worth mentioning that Kyushu Company implements a voluntary overtime system on Saturdays.
Overtime isn't mandatory, and there are two types of subsidies to choose from: overtime to offset personal leave, or to receive the corresponding monetary subsidy.
"Come, come, little boss!" This time Fang Yuan directly entered the company.
It wasn't that the access control was canceled, but that he had received his employee card last time.
Liu Zhijun pulled Fang Yuan into his office.
"You said you had something to find me for yesterday?" Liu Zhijun said, sitting on the sofa while making tea.
"Yes! Fruit Company contacted me yesterday!" Fang Yuan said, picking up the tea that Liu Zhijun had made.
"Hmm? Didn't I already send them away? What? They're still not giving up?" Liu Zhijun said.
"They want to buy the exclusive usage rights to Qoqo's extension program separately!" Fang Yuan said, taking a sip.
"Extension program? Is that the program that the program obtains?" Liu Zhijun looked at Fang Yuan and said curiously.
"Yes!"
"If we sell it to Fruit Company, will it have any impact on Qoqo?" Liu Zhijun asked.
"It shouldn't have much of an impact. You've also seen that extension program. Unless the Fruit system undergoes a drastic improvement, it will have almost no impact on us," Fang Yuan said confidently.
"What kind of price are they planning to use to buy this extension program?" Liu Zhijun asked worriedly, afraid that his little boss would be deceived by those cunning old foxes at Fruit Company.
"20 million RMB," Fang Yuan said, holding up two fingers.
"20 million? Hmm, it seems those Fruit guys still have some conscience. This price is fair," Liu Zhijun nodded and said.
"Hey, sometimes I wonder how your head is made, little boss. You can even come up with such a brilliant program!" Liu Zhijun exclaimed.
"Hehe!" Fang Yuan scratched his head, feeling embarrassed by Liu Zhijun's sudden praise.
"Ah! That's right, I almost forgot the main business!" Fang Yuan patted his head.
"I have another important thing to tell you!
I recently made a translation software, can you help me take a look at it!" Fang Yuan said, looking at Liu Zhijun.
"Translation software?" Liu Zhijun was very curious. He knew that the little boss had been asking for servers recently and had been mysteriously tinkering with something, but he didn't expect it to be translation software.
"Yes! You'll know once you try it out," Fang Yuan walked to Liu Zhijun's computer and plugged in the USB drive.
"Do you want to install it yourself or should I?" Fang Yuan asked!
"I'll do it myself!" Liu Zhijun replied.
He was still very curious about the translation software that Fang Yuan mentioned.
He didn't know how far the little boss had progressed.
After some operation, a software called was installed on Liu Zhijun's computer.
"Help me see if there's anything that needs to be improved in this software!" Fang Yuan said after seeing that Liu Zhijun had installed it.
Fang Yuan was still very confident in Liu Zhijun's abilities.
Although they hadn't spent a lot of time together during this period, Liu Zhijun had already shown Fang Yuan his abilities.
By the way, Qoqo's peripheral programs were all designed by Liu Zhijun himself.
Seeing these exquisite programs, Fang Yuan knew Liu Zhijun's true level.
Liu Zhijun had some natural advantages over Fang Yuan when it came to translation software.
After all, whether it was Chinese or English, Liu Zhijun's level was no less than Fang Yuan's.
Especially in English, Liu Zhijun far surpassed Fang Yuan's current level.
If they took the same English test, Liu Zhijun's score wouldn't necessarily be higher than Fang Yuan's.
But when it came to spoken language and everyday language translation, Liu Zhijun could be said to be far ahead of Fang Yuan.
"Okay! I'll try it out first!" Liu Zhijun said.
Fang Yuan sat on the sofa, watching Liu Zhijun test his translation software.
Oh right, I forgot to mention that Fang Yuan named this translation software 'Good Translate'.
After experiencing it for a while, Liu Zhijun was very satisfied with this translation software.
For him, this translation software wasn't very useful, but for some people with poorer English skills, this software would be very helpful.
The more he experienced it, the more surprised Liu Zhijun became. After familiarizing itself with his commonly used translation scenarios, this software actually performed better and better.
Please collect and recommend, thank you all大佬!
