"What? Free of charge? " Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When Bili Bili in Shanghai received the order from Boss Jia, the management team of Bili Bili was shocked. The Boss Jia asked Bili Bili to develop the Bili Bili Internet Cafe management system and open it to all internet cafes for free.
Even the internet cafes that had already received the authorization and management fees would be refunded. Bili Bili's management team couldn't understand this order.
After Bili Bili's trio fell apart, especially after Little Brainiac left Bili Bili, Bili Bili Bili had basically transformed into a professional software production company. They were responsible for customizing all kinds of software and collecting fees.
Bili Bili Bili's life was very good. Not only did it support a large number of programmers, but its profits also increased year by year. After all, the fees for developing professional software were at least 100,000 USD.
The Bili Bili Internet Cafe management system wasn't something that Bili Bili wanted to develop. It was an order from Boss Jia. He wanted them to allocate manpower and time to develop it. This made Bili Bili Bili unhappy.
Bili Bili didn't expect the software to be profitable. Although the authorization fee for each internet cafe was only 5,000 RMB, considering that there might be hundreds and thousands of internet cafes in the future, the fee wasn't low. Bili Bili changed its attitude towards the internet cafe management system.
But now, with another order, the software was completely free of charge. This made Bili Bili a little unhappy.
If it was just free of charge, it wouldn't be a big deal. According to the detailed requirements in the order, Bili Bili had to allocate a team to be responsible for the daily updates and maintenance of the Bili Bili Internet Cafe management system. At the same time, this team had to be in charge of operations, advertising, development, finance, etc. It was almost an independent department of Bili Bili.
Bili Bili Bili couldn't understand this. The current CEO of Bili Bili, Wang Xuan, even called Boss Jia to complain and vent his dissatisfaction.
In Wang Xuan's opinion, he had spent most of his energy and time on the development of the mobile phone and computer systems. Boss Jia shouldn't give him any more trouble.
"Are you rejecting my orders?" After listening to Wang Xuan's complaints, Boss Jia suddenly asked in a very cold voice.
"No …" Wang Xuan shuddered. He suddenly realized that he had done something wrong.
"That's good!" Boss Jia's tone became warm again. "I know you have resentment in your heart, but I naturally have my own considerations. Follow my orders, or you'll regret it! "
"Yes!" Wang Xuan broke out in cold sweat again. He obediently hung up the phone and followed Boss Jia's orders to transfer a team from Bili Bili. Otherwise, Bili Bili Internet Cafe's management system would be in charge.
When the team was formed, Boss Jia sent a detailed proposal to Wang Xuan. When Wang Xuan read the entire proposal seriously, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He understood why Boss Jia was angry over the phone. From the proposal, Boss Jia was planning something very big!

"What? You want to refund us?" When Zhang Zhahui received the call from Bili Bili, he was extremely surprised.
To be honest, Zhang Zhahui didn't care much about the five thousand RMB per year management fee.
This was because ever since Zhang Zhahui's Blue Speedy Internet Cafe had been fully occupied, just as he expected. It was the same even during the night. Zhang Zhahui's Internet Cafe had a total of one hundred computers. At the price of one and a half RMB per hour, he could earn 3,600 RMB per day. Therefore, he didn't really care about the five thousand RMB.
More importantly, Zhang Zhahui realized that this internet café management system was very important. If he didn't have this internet café management system to automatically manage and control the online and offline computers, he would have to rely on his own ability to control everything. He would have to hire at least 5 more managers, and he couldn't guarantee that these managers wouldn't make any mistakes and cause problems.
Therefore, Zhang Zhahui was very willing to pay the five thousand RMB fee. However, he didn't expect Bili Bili to call and ask for a refund.
"You don't want to provide service to us anymore?" Zhang Zhahui suddenly became worried. There was only one reason for Bili Bili to ask for a refund, and that was to stop the licensing of the software.
"No, of course not. Our company just made an important decision to license the management system of our Internet Cafe to all the employees of the Internet Cafe for free!" The other party smiled and said, "We will refund you, and at the same time, we will not stop the licensing of the software. Of course, we have a small condition!"
"There really is a condition!" Zhang Zhahui's heart skipped a beat. Bili Bili had given up on the licensing fee. Could it be that they wanted to directly collect the fees from the Internet Cafe's revenue?
After all, the revenue of the entire Internet Cafe had to be handled through the management system. Bili Bili probably knew the revenue of the Internet Cafe better than him. It was very easy for the other party to deduct the profits from it.
"That's not it. We just want to sign a new agreement with you. We want to increase the usage period from ten years to thirty years!"
"What do you mean by 'just'?" Zhang Zhahui was stunned.
"It's very simple. As the price for using our software for free, your internet café must use our internet café management system for the next 30 years. Unless there's a major error in our software that causes significant losses to your internet café, you'll never be able to change your internet café management system!"
"…" Zhang Zhahui was stunned. He didn't expect Bili Bili to ask for such a condition. This condition didn't sound like a bad condition. Instead, it was a free thirty years of usage. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
Zhang Zhahui couldn't help but ask Shen Hailong. After all, his mother was a senior executive of the Daqian Group. She should know the secret behind this.
However, Shen Hailong shook his head and said that his mother didn't know either. This was because Bili Bili's situation seemed to have been explained by the richest man in Hua Xia, Boss Jia. She wasn't very clear about it either.
However, Shen Hailong said that there wouldn't be any problems with this matter. It was a great cost-saving thing. At most, Boss Jia had some business operations that ordinary people like them couldn't understand. He told Zhang Zhahui not to worry about it. He just needed to sign the contract with Bili Bili as soon as possible.
Therefore, Zhang Zhahui followed the good advice. When Bili Bili's staff came, they quickly signed a new licensing agreement with Zhang Zhahui. Zhang Zhahui even found a lawyer to review the agreement for the whole night. In the end, he found that there were basically no legal traps other than the mandatory 30-year usage period. It was a normal contract.
Therefore, Zhang Zhahui signed the new contract. The next day, the 5,000 RMB refund was directly sent to his account.
