Chapter 254 The Woman Who Wanted To Jump Into The River
Wilson's expression changed.
To be honest, he would love to stay and learn about the other parts of the SL system.
After all, this system would be their biggest competitor.
However, he was too embarrassed to stay.
Wilson forced himself to calm down, "It's fine. I still have something to deal with back in the US, so I'll have to fly soon. I admit that Mr. Shelby is an extraordinary programmer. The SL system is, too, an extraordinary system. However, the DC system that I just showed all of you is not our latest product. If it was our latest product, it would definitely be better than the SL system.”
Jacob frowned, then looked at Seth, "Is this what they mean by bullshitting?”
Seth tried to control his smile, "Don’t be too honest.”
Anyone could tell that Wilson was just bluffing. If he really had the so-called 'latest DC system' that was better than the SL system, he would never give up so easily.
Wilson could not stand to embarrass himself any further, so he grabbed Joseph's arms and left in a hurry.
The crowd booed at them.
Seth smiled, "Alright, that was just a small interruption. Now, let's begin our press conference."
"I want to clarify once again that our system overpowers the DC system in every aspect."
Previously, when Seth said this, no one believed him.
But, now, the crowd cheered him on.
Ability determined everything!
While the crowd was all warmed up, Seth took the opportunity to introduce the SL system.
The journalists asked questions enthusiastically.
Several manufacturing representatives even asked Seth about the fees required for obtaining the SL system patent.
Seth smiled, "For foreign companies, the fee would be a 100 million USD each year. For domestic companies, it would only be 100 million USD every 10 years! That means merely 10 million USD per year."
The representatives’ faces immediately lit up.
Previously, the CK Corporation also quoted the foreign corporations 100 million USD each year. However, they were much more generous and tolerating to domestic businesses.
Now that they had the SL system, it was their turn to enjoy the generous treatment.
10 million USD a year was not considered a high price. As long as the phone was able to accommodate the system, they still had a lot of profit to make.
At this point, everyone was thinking the same thought. The domestic phones were truly going to take off in the global market.
Just during the conference itself, Seth had already signed 100-million worth patent orders with several different manufacturers.
The patent fees were easy to earn. They just needed to duplicate ten copies of the code - the profit margin could not be any higher.
"1... 100 million..." Susan looked at Julian in shock, "Did they just earn 100 million dollars?"
"Yep," Julian smiled. "E-commerce is indeed the most profitable business."
The Shaw Corporation had always been involved in real estate and had already reached its peak in the industry. Julian had been considering diverting some investments into the e-commerce industry.
Witnessing the conference had just made him more determined to do so.
The transformation was imperative.
Trends change all the time; good entrepreneurs plan ahead of time.
"Then, won't they be earning many halves of a million?” Susan blinked.
Julian laughed, "Why are you still not over that?"
"Hehe," Susan giggled.
She did not know that her brother’s system was this valuable.
Thinking back to the time when they cluelessly asked Seth to sign an agreement for half a million, Susan wanted to bury herself under the ground.
...Thank God Seth was a nice person.
If not, if Seth really wanted to buy the system for half a million, she and Jacob would probably say yes.
The press conference ended peacefully. When the guests left, they still could not contain their excitement.
The news was too important.
Important enough to change the global economy and politics.
They could not help but feel lucky.
Thank God they attended the conference.
After sending off the guests, Susan could not stop talking to Jacob, "Jacob, did you know? You looked so cool when you were competing with Wilson! Too bad I was too nervous and forgot to record the process. If not, if the recording was published, you’ll win a million hearts tonight."
"Don’t worry, I’m sure the media recorded it. Even if they didn't, I’ve already arranged someone to record i t," Seth smiled.
"Good job," Susan said approvingly. "When the recording is out, remember to send me a copy."
"Of course,” Seth smirked. "So, Susan, do you still want the 500k?”
Susan blushed and coughed, "The past is the past, stop bringing it up."
Everyone laughed.
Walking down the streets, the night breeze caressed their skin. It was a little cold, but Susan was too happy to feel anything.
Julian was worried, however. First, he took off his jacket for Susan. Then, after a while, he took off his scarf too...
Susan could not help but say, "Julian, I already have one scarf."
"One isn't enough," Julian insisted stubbornly.
Susan could only let him put the scarf on her, covering even her mouth.
"Julian, I really..." Susan was just about to protest when her pupils suddenly shrank and she pointed towards a direction, "Look, is that woman going to jump into the river?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Everyone looked and was shocked.
"Seems like it," Seth sprinted and pulled the woman down from the railing.
The rest followed.
"Why did you save me? Why can't you just let me die?" the woman cried pitifully.
She turned around. Her face was covered in tears but she cried very beautifully, evoking a sense of pity in everyone who saw her.
"Why do you have to think this way..." Seth was just trying to comfort the woman when she suddenly paused and saw Jacob.
She was stunned.
"Ja... Jacob?" she exclaimed.
Huh? This woman knew Jacob?
Seth could not help but look at Jacob strangely." Jacob, do you know her?"
Jacob looked at the woman quietly.
The woman's tears gushed out. She stumbled to Jacob and looked at him eagerly, "Jacob, you... It's me, I’m Jenny, did you forget me?"
Jacob's gaze was unfazed. He said coldly, "I don't know her."
Susan could not help but glance at her brother.
