Niu Xiaoqiang was surprised: "Haven't you already made money, why do you choose to break up?"

Place shook his head: "We owe the bank a loan of 60,000 US dollars, all this money is used to buy office equipment, even if we earn 50,000 US dollars, there is still a difference of 10,000 US dollars, we discussed it, and finally decided to sell the office equipment, and divide the excess money equally, to go out to find a job, otherwise if the loan is overdue, our personal credit will be damaged, for an American, this is a very serious matter." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang knows that Americans attach great importance to personal creditworthiness, and if you lose your credit, you will not be able to borrow a penny from the bank. Americans have long been accustomed to the lifestyle of borrowing money for consumption, if you can't borrow money, you can't buy a house and a car, and ordinary companies won't recruit people without credit, which is indeed a very serious consequence.

He nodded understandingly: "I see, I'll pay the money." ”

Taking advantage of Niu Xiaoqiang's swiping of the card, Whitman couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Niu, I wonder if I can ask you a question?"

"You ask, as long as it doesn't involve personal privacy. ”

"Of course not, I'm just trying to figure out who you're buying these parts for?"

This question really does not involve personal privacy, so Niu Xiaoqiang had no worries, and replied directly: "You two should have heard of artificial intelligence, right? This project is led by my supervisor, and I am serving him." ”

As long as you are a practitioner in the computer industry, there is no one who has never heard of artificial intelligence. The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately exchanged a look.

Whitman nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze, and asked tentatively, "Does Mr. Niu have a company related to computers under his name?"

This issue involves privacy, Niu Xiaoqiang is not very familiar with Whitman, and he does not want to disclose too much personal information. He pocketed his bank card and asked, "Why does Mr. Whitman ask?"

Whitman explained, "I'm not trying to get to know you personally, but I'm asking if you're interested in acquiring our company. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang currently only has a hunter company in the United States, and he has long been preparing to open a computer-related company, but because the conditions are not very mature, he has not taken action for the time being.

After listening to Whitman's words, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't have a computer-related company under my name for the time being, I plan to register another one in the future, and the procedures are not very troublesome, it doesn't seem that there is no need to buy your company to backdoor, right?"

Whitman shook his head: "You misunderstood what I meant, I don't want you to borrow our company's shell to enter the computer industry, but I want to sell you the software in my hand through acquisition." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang became a little interested when he heard this: "Do you have software in your hands?"

Whitman snorted: "The two of us were more enthusiastic about software development in college, and after graduation, we established the current company, originally thought that the software we developed could be sold at a good price, but I didn't expect that no one cared about it at all, and we had to choose to close the company, because you are our first customer, so we want to try it one last time, if you are willing to buy our company, we don't need to close the door." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded slightly: "Can you show the software?"

As soon as Whitman saw the play, he immediately nodded and said, "Of course you can, please come with us to the second floor." ”

The three of them went to the second floor and turned on the computer to demonstrate and explain.

It didn't take much effort for Niu Xiaoqiang to learn the basic information of this software.

This is a technical protocol software, which can provide customers with computer series services, as long as the computer is installed with this software, it can share the same network, to put it bluntly, this software is a supplement and improvement of the local area network.

Niu Xiaoqiang feels that the market prospect of this software is not too big, because it only serves local area networks.

As far as the current situation is concerned, only those large companies with many computers have the need to build a local area network, but such large companies basically have their own professional computer teams, and people can develop relevant software by themselves, and there is no need to buy it from outside.

Niu Xiaoqiang's mind came up with such a sentence: There is no meat to eat, and there is taste in discarding. That's his final evaluation of the software.

He thought of this and looked at Whitman and Pulis and smiled apologetically: "To be honest, this software you have developed is a bit unpopular, and from what I have learned, it does not have much market prospects. ”

Whitman and Pulis both showed frustration, Niu Xiaoqiang himself had also started a business, knew the hardships of entrepreneurship, he kindly reminded: "You have a lot of classmates working in major computer companies, I think you can work hard in this aspect, don't always think about selling software, as long as you can make reasonable use of the network resources in your hands, your company may not be able to turn the situation around." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang has long seen that Whitman and Pulis are technical personnel, and do not have business acumen, this kind of person is the right way to work for others, and if he starts his own business, most of the results will be failure.

Pulis was a little unwilling to fail, and he asked, "Can Mr. Niu explain a little clearly?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I mean that you can wholesale computers at low prices through the relationship of your classmates, and then sell, with the technology you have mastered, you can provide customers with computer hardware maintenance and software troubleshooting services, these are after-sales services, as long as you do a good job of after-sales work, you can establish a good reputation step by step, so that your business can become bigger and bigger, and it is more promising than your focus on software sales." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's words are definitely very feasible, and the two of them are like a ship sailing in the dark seeing a beacon of light, and they are all happy.

But then, the eyes of the two dimmed again, and only Whitman sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have start-up capital, and the bank is unwilling to continue to lend us, although Mr. Niu's proposal is very good, we can't implement it at all." ”

Pulis was also frustrated: "Without start-up capital, even the best ideas are just empty buildings." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang just watched the software written by the two of them and found that their programming language is very concise, which means that both of them are technical experts. In addition, the two have excellent connections, and the idea of starting a business is still very strong, such a person will definitely be very serious and positive in his work.
