Chapter 902: Chapter 884: Yan Ji Invites Him to Start a Company Together! (Part 2)
Huo Feng’s painstakingly written self-discipline software was just cracked like that! And it was even spread out directly!
What a terrifying thing this is!
This means... once the free version is released, no one will think of buying the official version from Huo Feng anymore!
After all, if the free version works well, who would buy the official version!
When Huo Feng heard about this from Yan Siyuan, he almost exploded!
He crazily typed a message to Yan Siyuan: [Which of your classmates is this! Are you sick? Why are you doing this to me!]
Yan Siyuan replied to Huo Feng: [To be precise, that person is both a classmate and an annoying guy. We’ve had some issues, and I don’t like him either.]
Huo Feng, furious, shot back at Yan Siyuan: [Are you kidding me? How did you manage to bring your enemy here to mess with me! Are you trying to jinx me!]
Yan Siyuan quickly replied: [I’m jinxing you?]
Yan Siyuan: [Where’s your head?]
Yan Siyuan: [If I didn’t ask you, how would I confirm this software was written by you?]
Huo Feng also replied: [Then how did you know it was written by me?]
Yan Siyuan: [I just wanted to confront him, so I monitored his computer. As a result, I discovered he was cracking your software, and he’s in your group. He’s already posted the torrent link for the free version on Baidu Tieba; I doubt you’ll be able to protect it now.]
It’s over...
Huo Feng’s "Self-Disciplined Life" is considered ruined...
Huo Feng, still boiling with anger, logged into the group to mention everyone and directly search for the bastard who cracked his software.
As a result, a second later, someone left the group.
It was clearly that bastard!
"Ah~ stupid!"
Huo Feng scratched his head in anger, his eyes red with frustration.
The program he worked so hard on, sourcing so many resources, was designed so perfectly!
In the end, the code was cracked!
His entire software was directly stolen by someone! This is intellectual property plagiarism! No, it’s theft!
Huo Feng, furious, grabbed his phone and frantically typed to Yan Siyuan: [Ah~ I’m so angry! That scum left the group! Who is he, tell me his name, I want to sue him!]
Yan Siyuan replied: [...]
Yan Siyuan: [How are you going to sue him? You didn’t apply for software copyright registration; the law won’t help you.]
Huo Feng: [Ah——]
Huo Feng: [I’m going to puke blood——]
Huo Feng: [Then tell me his name, I want to beat him up!]
Yan Siyuan: [Don’t worry, I’ll help you get revenge. I have issues with him too, I’ll find a way to deal with him.]
Huo Feng: [Count me in! I have to take him down!]
In the midst of his rage, Huo Feng glanced at his group again...
Sure enough, group members already started asking about the free version being spread out.
Huo Feng immediately stepped up to explain to the group members that someone joined the group, bought the software for 50 yuan, then internally cracked the code.
The password Huo Feng set was quite difficult to crack, he used many algorithms and rules to form such a code.
Typically, even a college graduate programmer couldn’t crack his code.
It must have been Yan Siyuan’s classmate.
No...
Yan Siyuan’s rival!
Such a level of coder cracking Huo Feng’s password, at least made Huo Feng somewhat accept it.
But Huo Feng was still very annoyed!
Fortunately, after the group members learned about Huo Feng being messed with, they didn’t say anything negative.
They’d already paid for the software anyway, whether there’s a free version now didn’t matter to them.
Instead, those students comforted Huo Feng, telling him not to be too angry.
But how could Huo Feng not be angry?
Huo Feng could foresee that there would definitely be fewer people joining the group in the future, and in the long run, there’d be none...
Huo Feng had even applied for a Taobao store for this software, now he felt like he’s going bankrupt! Directly losing a wave of pocket money!
Not long after, Yan Siyuan sent a WeChat to Huo Feng, asking: [Although you suffered a big loss from this, I roughly understand your business strategy. Overall, your business approach is very successful. It’s much more convenient than me running around looking for factories to promote OA software.]
Even though Yan Siyuan was complimenting him at this moment, Huo Feng wouldn’t feel happy!
Because Yan Siyuan’s praise was useless!
If Yan Siyuan said he was jealous or envious of Huo Feng, that would have made Huo Feng a lot happier!
"Sigh..."
Huo Feng sighed deeply, picked up his phone again to reply to Yan Siyuan: [I just didn’t think about this copyright issue... Next time if I develop software for my own business, I must apply for copyright at the first opportunity. That way, if anyone messes with me, I’ll sue them back! I’ll skin them too!]
Yan Siyuan sent: [We did consider developing our own software for business before. But back then, we were thinking too broadly, considering we didn’t have enough manpower and time, so we gave up. Didn’t expect that with small software like this, a bit of simple business can still make a decent profit.]
Yan Siyuan began to talk business with Huo Feng again.
From what Huo Feng gathered from his tone, he felt like Yan Siyuan wanted to steal his idea.
Huo Feng then replied to Yan Siyuan: [What exactly are you trying to say?]
Yan Siyuan said: [Should we make a game together? Or a large functional software? Go big.]
Huo Feng: [...]
Huo Feng: [Very ambitious~ But, don’t you have classes?]
Yan Siyuan sent: [That’s why I think your business model is successful. You also hired someone to manage it, right? We can do the same. We set up a small company, engage in software development. Or in gaming, hire someone to manage the studio’s employees, acting as a proxy CEO, while we handle the major strategic directions and software development areas. What do you think?]
Only after hearing this...
Huo Feng realized that although Yan Siyuan started with his classmate’s mishap, he genuinely came to discuss business!
Going into business together... it sounds pretty good!
When Huo Feng saw the office buildings at Lu Xun’s place today, he already had the idea of starting a business in his head.
Unexpectedly, before he could even begin to mull it over, Yan Siyuan already thought one step ahead!
That guy, Yan Siyuan, really is constantly scheming to make money!
Huo Feng guessed that Yan Siyuan’s campus life must be pretty boring, right?
Definitely didn’t join any clubs! Every day, besides studying, is either about making money or girlfriends!
Sheesh!
Yan Siyuan really is a unique character!
However, Huo Feng likes this kind of genius maverick!
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows a bit, and in good spirits, replied to Yan Siyuan: [I think your idea is very good! Really, really good! But, haven’t you drawn enough cakes? Do you know how much registering a company costs? Do you know the cost of starting a business? Where’s the money? Money?]
Yan Siyuan sent to Huo Feng: [Find a joint venture. Prepare this year, if we start next year, I can put up 500,000.]
Huo Feng: [Damn...]
This guy is too rich!
A college student casually putting up 500,000!
Saving up for so many years was all for this moment?
500,000, damn it!
Can you even have such a partner!
With Huo Feng having only a small few thousand in savings, how could he feel comfortable partnering up to start a business!
Looking for joint ventures... the shares would all be theirs!
Yan Siyuan sent again: [I’ll observe the market in the meantime, and quickly come up with a feasible business plan. I’ll head to Beijing to discuss with you during New Year’s Day.]
Huo Feng: [Oh...]
Huo Feng: [Rich guy, I have no money...]
Huo Feng: [How about you put up 1,000,000? Count 500,000 as a loan to me, and I’ll pay you back with dividends in the future.]
Yan Siyuan: [Buzz off.]
"Damn..."
Huo Feng couldn’t help but curse under his breath, "So unkind!"
Huo Feng sent again: [Let’s talk about it next year. I’ll try saving up first, don’t have much now...]
Yan Siyuan: [Okay.]
Yan Siyuan: [During New Year’s Day, Xiaocao and I will come to Beijing to see you, have you sorted out our food, accommodation, and entertainment?]
Just a second ago, Huo Feng had said he has no money!
Now, the next second, Yan Siyuan is talking about covering all their expenses for food, accommodation, and fun! Completely unkind!
Huo Feng saw it clearly!
Partnering with Yan Siyuan means every penny must be accounted for!
Yan Siyuan is such a penny-pincher!
Before Huo Feng even replied, Yan Siyuan sent: [Xiaocao is really looking forward to this New Year’s trip, do your best to arrange it well, a bit pricey is fine.]
Huo Feng: [Why! So you’re covering it if it’s expensive, right?]
Yan Siyuan: [Wishful thinking. I’m saying if your arrangements are too frugal, I’ll make different plans with Xiaocao.]
Huo Feng: [Damn...]
Yan Siyuan: [In return, I’ll make sure to give that guy who cracked your software a good lesson.]
Huo Feng: [I’m all for it! Once you have dirt on him, let me handle it!]
Yan Siyuan: [Alright.]
