Chapter 153 I Want to Sell Books!

The past two months or so has been a "dreary period" for the Rubik's Cube computer and source code.

Many people have a feeling that there will be many "free version" Rubik's Cube calculators on the market, "effective and irrelevant carry screening". Will quickly be applied in many fields.

Two months later, there is still only the incomplete version of the "Cube Calculator" on the market, and the "effective and irrelevant carry screening" still has no breakthrough applications in other fields.

Many people in the industry recovered.

'Effective and irrelevant carry screening' is indeed a novel and very practical method, but if you want to realize applications in other fields, you must have a sufficient understanding of it.

Just like some mathematical calculations, such as trigonometric functions, you can’t even figure out which corner corresponds to which side. There are bound to be a lot of problems in applying calculations.

At this time, many people finally understand why Zhao Yi said that the proof of the "Kakutani Conjecture" was obtained in the process of researching the "effective and irrelevant carry screening method", which is relative to the'effective and irrelevant carry screening method','Kakutani The proving process of'Conjecture' is just a little confusing. Most of it is the analysis of binary data graphs. It only takes time for an undergraduate to study and figure it out.

The'effective and irrelevant carry screening method' is completely different.

Liu Hemin is a top computer researcher in China, focusing on artificial intelligence algorithm research. He also guided Zhao Yi to write papers, read Zhao Yi’s speech, and specially came to Zheng Yang to have a face-to-face exchange with Zhao Yi. Completely understand.

When other people want to read the lectures and papers, they will fully understand it from beginning to end. It takes a lot of time. It is not easy to figure out how to apply it to other fields in the future.

In fact, it is normal.

The'effective and irrelevant carry-screening method' has solved the Rubik's Cube algorithm problem that has plagued scientists for decades, and it must be quite difficult.

After two months, many teams conducting related research, or those hoping to use the "effective and irrelevant carry screening method" to solve some data mining, screening and other problems, have fully understood the method they thought of. Just--

Buy the source code!

The core algorithm of the Rubik's Cube computer is the "effective and irrelevant carry screening method". In addition, there must be some related important algorithms. The source code must be of great research value.

In addition, the source code itself is also very valuable. It can solve the calculation problem of the Rubik's Cube, and it can further solve the fourth-order Rubik's Cube, and develop a variety of functions.

The last point is very valuable.

Many companies at home and abroad hope to contact and purchase the source code.

Zhang Zhen received quotations one by one. At the beginning, they were RMB 1 million and US$200,000, but later they became RMB 5 or 6 million. There was also a foreign laboratory with a price of US$1 million.

One million dollars!

Zhang Zhen couldn't help trembling as he listened. He is the manager of the Interaction Technology Department of Zhouyu. He is very knowledgeable, but the domestic computer development has just started and it is incomparable with other industries.

For example, the amount of a round of financing of Universe Interactive was only RMB 46 million.

One million U.S. dollars is equivalent to eight million RMB. A transaction of such a large amount is really...

"Zhao Yi, can you sell it!"

Zhang Zhen's voice on the phone trembled a little.

Zhao Yi was also very excited. He heard that it was a foreign research institution. He hesitated and asked, "How is the sales of Rubik's Cube computers during the recent period?"

"It stopped abroad, but it's not bad at home!"

Zhang Zhen started talking.

The source code of the Rubik's Cube calculator has become popular, and the sales of the Rubik's Cube calculator has also been turning around.

This may be related to the rumors from above that the Rubik's Cube calculator is no longer sold abroad and will soon become'out of print'.

"Out of print" is always attractive!

Although the Rubik's Cube calculator has various problems, such as the relatively simple production and the single function, the "out of print" is always different. It is not installed on the computer. After downloading the software, it is impossible to install it, because it is not out of print. Represents free.

So many people download, buy and install.

"It's about 10,000 to 20,000 in the last day, it's estimated to last for a while, just don't know..."

"Then don't sell it!"

Zhao Yi still couldn't make up his mind. The main buyer was a foreign laboratory, which sounded a little weird, "I think about it."

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't sell it."

Zhang Zhen calmed down and suddenly said, "Not to mention that the domestic Internet industry is so big. The future development will definitely be resources tilted towards large companies. Now many companies want to buy. Anyone who sells it will offend other companies, and it will be troublesome to sell. The source code has to sign a lot of agreements, and anything you do in the future will also be affected."

"Okay, trouble you, I will think about it again."

Zhao Yi touched his forehead with a headache.

In the past two days, Xu Chao simply lived in his home, while studying the code for'dynamic color discrimination' written by Zhao Yi. He hadn't fully decided to do it together, and he knew the confidentiality of the source code.

Zhao Yi still showed him the code for'dynamic color discrimination'.

Thanks to Xu Chao for this code, the copy of the "dynamic color resolution" execution program, the input and output information, is equivalent to giving most of the conditions.

then.

He wrote the new code easily.

Xu Chao was very moved, and he couldn't help it. "Dynamic color discrimination" is something in the laboratory. Most of it is made by him, and it is not entirely his thing.

He works in a laboratory.

At this time Xu Chao turned around and asked, "What did you just say, eight million?"

Zhao Yi casually explained, "Just now, an organization wanted to buy the source code of the Rubik's Cube for 8 million, but I refused."

"I want to buy my source code for this little money?"

"Think too much!"

He shook his head and walked to the bathroom, leaving Xu Chao's mouth open in surprise, and he kept muttering in his heart, "Eight million, eight million, eight million..."

the next day.

Zhao Yi also began to receive information.

Some people found his phone number, penguin number, and email address, some still wanted to buy the source code, and some other requirements.

For example, some university professors call and ask him if he can give detailed annotations to the content of the paper. On the one hand, it is easy to understand. On the other hand, they also want to use the content of the paper to explain the content of advanced algorithms to students.

Three publishers contacted him whether they would like to write a related book.

Zhao Yi moved his heart.

A publisher contacted him before to discuss the issue of the book, but he directly refused.

Now, then.

At that time, Zhao Yi still had to study hard, so how could he have time to write books?Now he has to study hard, but he has personal hard work--

Xu Chao!

"So, Brother Chao, are you interested in writing this book for me? It's around the'effective and irrelevant carry screening method'. Yes, the title of the book is called'Zhao's screening method'."

"Using the core code of Rubik's Cube Calculator to explain the steps, I think it has great potential!"

"One publishing house said that as long as it is written, there will be two universities and one training institution, and they will all be sure to order textbooks, and they will definitely sell well abroad!"

On the way to send Xu Chao away, Zhao Yi asked sincerely.

Xu Chao was stunned for a long time, "You asked me to start a business together so that I could write a book for you?"

"This is also an entrepreneurship!"

Zhao Yi explained, "Think about it, I have the initiative, how can I sign ten points? A book earns five or ten yuan and sells one hundred thousand copies, which is five hundred thousand or one million."

"It can be sold at home and abroad!"

"We have published both Chinese and English. It doesn't matter if the English is a little bit short, the copyright must be taken anyway."

This is what Zhao Yi thought of.

Selling the source code directly is a bit of a pitfall, and a lot of agreements have to be signed, and the use of the source code may also be troublesome for subsequent development.

It's better not to sell.

"Effective and irrelevant carry screening", no matter how complicated it is, it is only a method. It is only a matter of time to be fully understood by others. It is like a fruit company. They think there are a lot of talents, as long as the research direction is correct, sooner or later Will fully understand, the source code just helps them understand faster.

In the explosive period of the Internet age, time is more than just talking.

This is why many companies buy source code.

Zhao Yi simply made the code public.

Anyway, the papers have been written and the speeches have been done, so the source code is not sold at all. Ask someone to help write the book and sell it, maybe you can make more money.

Selling code is just a transaction, and the income from selling books is endless!

For example, some universities have ordered his books as textbooks, but will they order them every year?It is impossible for universities to buy pirated copies!

Zhao Yi continued, "Writing a book is to start a business, and there is a steady stream of income! The purpose of starting a business is not to make money. We will give you a commission while doing research and writing books..."

He stretched out a slap.

"Fifty percent?" Xu Chao's mouth grew wide.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, stopped, and pointed to the taxi on the side of the road, "Goodbye, walk slowly, don't send it!"

Xu Chao smiled and nodded, "Okay, I think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

...

Five points, a lot.

On the way Xu Chao took the train, he carefully calculated the account. Professional books were not selling well, but the algorithm books involving "monopoly technology" would definitely be snatched by the industry in the early stage.

In addition, there will definitely be some university orders.

The largest purchase group of this kind of books is originally various universities, institutions, various universities, institutions, which do not offer related courses, and do not carefully study the content of the books, and they will definitely buy some and put them in the library.

Simultaneously.

Professional technical books are not afraid of piracy, because the buying group is fixed. In the past, piracy was bought to ordinary people, and there was no sales.

Zhao Yi said that the sales volume of 100,000 copies can be said to be the most basic. Putting the domestic and foreign markets together, the sales volume will certainly not be small.

So the five-point commission will not be less, perhaps higher than his current salary for a year.

Xu Chao was moved.

His heart is not only about writing and selling books, but also about real entrepreneurship.

Zhao Yi gave him a basic salary of 10,000 yuan and five points of technology equity. After the company is truly opened, the technology equity will be converted into actual equity.

Technology equity is the direct benefits brought by technology.

At present, they only have technology. The expansion of the company's operations is different, because a certain amount of investment is involved, and it will also bring other aspects of investment and income. It is impossible for him to expand operations alone, and the shares can only be negotiated .

The five-point technology equity does not sound much, but Zhao Yi has almost researched the core content. He is just'hard work' to perfect it, which is similar to the work done in the laboratory.

"A dignified doctor who works hard for a high school student..."

Xu Chao felt very sad when he thought about it, but he had already decided before the train arrived in the capital.

resignation!

Compared with the hard time in the laboratory, long-term efforts are waiting for the job title, and there is still not much money to be made.

That is a job he likes.

The essential……

There is still money to go!
