In a little while, Wang Yaoqing printed out the revised contract.

"Dr. Zhao, take a look. If there are no issues, let's go ahead and sign it."

Wang Yaoqing sat on the sofa and handed the revised contract to Zhao Heng, who was sitting opposite him.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng nodded and took the contract, carefully reviewing it.

However, upon reviewing it, he realized that although Wang Yaoqing had indeed accepted his suggestion and adjusted the profit sharing to 50%, it was noted thereafter that for the intellectual property section, the registrant was Zhao Heng.

This meant that after the software was developed, Wang Yaoqing's company would merely be sharing in the profits from the software usage fees, while the intellectual property of the software remained in Zhao Heng's hands.

One had to admit, Wang Yaoqing's move once again left Zhao Heng impressed.

This person truly had a grand vision and thought very far ahead.

"Old Wang, aren't you worried that I might just sell the software directly in the future?"

Zhao Heng joked with Wang Yaoqing. Since Wang was at least ten years older, calling him Old Wang felt quite natural.

"Dr. Zhao, the core of this software lies with you. As long as you want, you can start over and create a new one anytime. I'm already satisfied with having a slice."

Wang Yaoqing laughed and said. He didn't mind being called Old Wang as he viewed this change in address as a true indication of Zhao Heng's trust.

Intellectual property doesn't have much use for Wang Yaoqing. Like he said, the core of the software's development is really Zhao Heng.

Without his collection and collation of clinical data, this software development would be like a tree without roots.

"Alright, here's to a pleasant collaboration between us."

Zhao Heng nodded and swiftly signed his name.

"A pleasant collaboration."

Seeing Zhao Heng's signature, Wang Yaoqing felt a sense of relief, sensing that this might be the best investment he ever made in his life, and such an opportunity might not come his way again.

With both signatures added, the partnership was officially underway.

"Dr. Zhao, later I'll host a meal and invite the development team, so everyone can get to know each other."

With the contract now signed, Wang Yaoqing was in a very good mood and began to arrange the subsequent tasks.

"Sure."

Zhao Heng nodded. This software development team would be essential to interact with, so a group meal seemed the best way to get acquainted.

When people are eating and drinking, they tend to relax, making it the best time for communication.

"Dr. Zhao, honestly, in this collaboration, I'm truly benefiting from your skills. I previously asked the marketing department to conduct research and found that anesthesia assistants are still a virgin market in domestic hospitals. Once we develop this software, the annual software usage fees alone will surely reach into the millions."

Wang Yaoqing said slowly.

What he spoke of was based on strict research and calculations.

The usage fee for this software each year could easily range between a hundred to two hundred thousand. If they could clinch contracts with a hundred hospitals, then earning millions annually isn't just an empty talk.

Earning millions annually is actually quite remarkable in the real world.

"Well, if it's really that much, then financial freedom is finally achieved."

Zhao Heng chuckled while saying this.

For ordinary people, the hardest step towards becoming wealthy is earning the first million or ten million; beyond that, money can start to make money.

However, for Zhao Heng, he just wanted to solve his housing problem since he would eventually get married and live together with his parents afterward, meaning he needed a spacious place, ideally over a hundred square meters or a single-floor large unit of two hundred square meters.

But property prices in North City are generally ten to twenty thousand per square meter, meaning just for the house alone, Zhao Heng would need around ten million.

From this perspective, an income of several millions per year might not seem much, as Zhao Heng may not even be able to pay for the house in full at that point.

"Dr. Zhao, when I was your age, I was still running around doing business without knowing where I would be the next day."

Perhaps reminiscing about his own struggle, Wang Yaoqing said with some emotion.

He had been admitted to a university in North City with great effort, and after graduating, he stayed, starting from scratch. Only he, who walked each step, truly knew the hardships involved.

Starting a business is hard, but maintaining it is even harder. Wang Yaoqing felt very fortunate to encounter Zhao Heng, having such a great project while his company was hitting a bottleneck. It would revitalize many things and create a ripple effect. It wasn't just about collecting software usage fees annually.

Actually, many lesser-known industries are quite profitable, though most people never get the chance to enter them.

For Wang Yaoqing, creating the anesthesia assistant software was like having a splendid lever to prise open bigger opportunities and a larger stage, something previously beyond reach.

Just then, Wang Yaoqing's female secretary came in from outside and told him, "Boss, Liu Gong is back."

"Alright, let Liu Gong come over here."

Wang Yaoqing nodded to his secretary.

"Okay, Boss."

The secretary responded.

Shortly, a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses, appearing to be in his thirties, walked in from outside the office. You could tell he was a programmer just by looking at his receding hairline.

"Liu Gong, let me introduce you. This is the company's partner, Dr. Zhao."

"Dr. Zhao, this is our company's chief software developer, Liu Gong."

Wang Yaoqing stood up to introduce the two of them.

Zhao Heng seriously scrutinized the middle-aged programmer in front of him; the signature receding hairline and black-framed glasses were all hallmarks of a seasoned programmer.

"Hello, Liu Gong."

Zhao Heng reached out his hand for a greeting.

"Dr. Zhao, I've heard about you from the boss before. I didn't expect someone so young to independently develop a data model."

Liu Gong, the middle-aged programmer, also carefully examined Zhao Heng before him.

As the chief programmer at the company's software development department, his salary ranks just second to Wang Yaoqing, the boss.

Before, Boss Wang Yaoqing had informed him of finding a good collaborator, a doctor, to jointly develop a medical software. Liu Gong had been anticipating meeting Zhao Heng for a while.

With Liu Gong's skills, he could easily work at a major internet company, but Boss Wang Yaoqing treated him well. The company's benefits weren't much inferior to big tech firms and offered a degree of freedom absent in large internet companies.

This was the reason Liu Gong stayed at Wang Yaoqing's company.
