Chapter 202 Reluctant to let the child fall on the wolf
Although the Forté Technology Exhibition is expected to be three days, generally speaking, there are only the closing ceremonies of the first morning and the last day, and the number of visitors to the exhibition reaches its peak, while at other times, the number of visitors will obviously be much smaller.
This situation is also normal. After all, many people came with the curious mentality of watching the latest technology products in Silicon Valley. Later, without this mentality, the number of people naturally decreased relatively; as for the closing ceremony, as the end of an exhibition, various activities are essential. It is precisely for this reason that many people come here not to watch the exhibition, but to participate in activities and watch performances.
This is the routine of almost all exhibitions, and Jeko Company is no exception. Although hundreds of people came in the morning to surround his small booth, the crowd gradually dispersed after 1:00 noon.
Zhou Ming then had the chance to sit down. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: Finally, I can rest for a while. This morning was really tiring. I said, Brother Jobs, you believe in your own vision.
Jobs had just sent away a guest. In fact, he had left Aipai Company and was now engaged in investment and animation production. He did not have a very suitable identity, so he did not intend to participate in this Forté Technology Exhibition. However, due to the popularity of the booth, Zhou Ming believed that these participating technologies were all the creative ideas of Jobs, and only he knew these creativity the best, so Zhou Ming called him and invited him.
Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Jobs turned around and sat next to Zhou Ming. He was silent for a while before saying: Mr. Zhou Ming, thank you very much. You are such a great person as your father.
Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment: Brother Jobs, you are wrong. What are exhibited in the Jeko booth are all your creative products. If you really say greatness, then you shouldn't be yourself.
Jobs shook his head seriously and said: No, I asked everyone who came here, all of them were attracted by your epoch-making speech. Everyone, they said that you will be a great figure in changing Silicon Valley in the future to lead the world's technological innovation. And I am just a designer at most, maybe I am not that qualified.
Zhou Ming also shook his head and said: Mr. Jobs, you must not think so, because you are very leader. In fact, Aipai Company has truly grown up in your hands. Although you have encountered some setbacks now, you have left Aipai Company, but as long as you do not give up investing and prove your ability, I believe that you will definitely be able to return to Aipai Company in the future, and that is the moment when you truly reach your peak.
Zhou Ming said and smiled: So you must not give up on yourself now. If it were my reasons that made the world lose one Jobs, then my sin would be great. I wonder how many Aipai fans would tear me apart in minutes.
It was as if he wanted to prove Zhou Ming's words. When Zhou Ming finished speaking, he saw the product manager of Aipai Company coming over.
Mr. Jobs, I am the first group of old employees to apply for jobs in Aipai Company. In the past ten years, this is the worst exhibition I have ever attended. You may not even imagine that the customers who came to our booth this morning still remember their appearance. I even remember when they came here at what time. I still remember a few of them, but they barely came to rest because Jeko couldn't squeeze in.
The product manager became more and more excited as he spoke: Mr. Jobs, you should come back to Aipai Company. Only the Aipai Company you are in is Aipai Company. Look at the products you exhibited on Jaco, how popular are in the market, and they have become stars at this exhibition; look at our side, Oh my God, that's simply mediocre like a joke
Jobs was stunned, not sure what to say, because after he was kicked out by the current chairman of Aipai Company, Ball and CEO John, he had always doubted his abilities, so he changed his career to an investor. It was only because of his last dissatisfaction that he bought Piss Animation Studio. It was not until now that he realized that his abilities were not a problem.
Seeing that Jobs was stunned, Zhou Ming stepped forward and said to the product manager: Don't worry, Jobs is just training outside now, and he will go back one day.
After Zhou Ming's persuasion, the product manager reluctantly went back, and Jobs also came back to his senses. He firmly said to Zhou Ming: I understand, I will not give up, absolutely
Zhou Ming nodded silently, then patted Jobs on the shoulder and said: Just know how to work hard, don’t be so serious. It’s getting late now. We have been busy all morning and it’s time to go for lunch.
As he said that, Zhou Ming and Jobs both stood up. Zhou Ming called Tang Ran to leave together, but they stopped before they even walked out of the booth because they saw several familiar figures. They were not others, but Li Botten, chairman of Saifok, president of President of Xilai, and Brown, director of logistics department. They smiled awkwardly when they saw Zhou Ming and Tang Ran come out.
Hey, Mr. Xilai, what a coincidence, are you planning to have a meal now? Tang Ran asked curiously.
With Tang Ran’s problem, the already embarrassing Saifok company and his group suddenly became even more embarrassed, but in fact, Tang Ran did not deliberately embarrass them. Although Tang Ran was indeed very angry with them at the beginning, as they returned to the booth, when they faced so many customers, they were all out of their way, so how could they care about them?
It was precisely because of the sufficient confidence at the exhibition that Tang Ran didn't care about them anymore, so now when he saw them, he just subconsciously asked this question.
But the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. In addition, Tang Ran is originally cute and natural black. Her words were heard in Xilai's ears, and she was like a slap on his face.
Xilai smiled and found a step for himself and said: We are going to have a meal, but we just happened to get here and saw that there were fewer people at your booth, so we wanted to come over and talk to you about the project.
Hearing Xilai said this, Tang Ran was surprised: Is it the project in your Logistics Department's information database? But don't you say that our Jeko company is garbage? Do you want to find the best and highest-tech company to do that kind of project? Why are you looking for us now?
Faced with Tang Ran's problem, Xilai felt even more embarrassed. If Tang Ran's words were just slapping him in the face, then now he could be said to be pressing his face to the ground and rubbing wildly.
But even so, Xilai still smiled and said: I didn’t understand the technology market at the beginning, so I made a wrong judgment on the situation of Jeko. But now I understand that Jeko is a very powerful high-tech company in Silicon Valley. Since we, Sefok, want to upgrade the logistics department’s information database, we must choose the best one.
This time, Zhou Ming stood up and smiled and said to Xilai: That's true. Since you choose to upgrade the equipment, you naturally have to choose the best one. Otherwise, if you can't keep up with the times and you will upgrade again soon, then this project will lose its meaning. Let's do this, we are going to have lunch now, and Mr. Jobs is also here. He is the former chairman of Aipai Company. Mr. Xilai will go with you. Let's have a good chat at the dinner table.
Xilai heard Zhou Ming's words, but when he heard about Zhou Ming's smile, he always felt a chilling feeling. It was like a poor little white rabbit walking into the wolf's den by himself.
Twenty minutes later, they sat together in the restaurant of the Stanford Convention Center and ordered the food. Zhou Ming opened his mouth unruly and asked: Mr. Xilai, let me tell me if there are any requirements for the equipment that needs to be updated this time.
At this time, Xilai had already emerged from the embarrassment just now. For this question, he put down his knife and fork and answered: Advanced, whether it is capacity, running speed, or software, we need to be the most advanced.
To be honest, Mr. Xilai is actually relative to advanced and backward in computer software, and advanced may not be the best. The best is to be most compatible and fit.
Zhou Ming thought about it and asked him again: So, have Mr. Xilai seen our products today? I wonder if Mr. Xilai is particularly fond of him?
Xilai nodded desperately at this like a chicken pecking at rice: I looked at your Mark model computer. Not only are his configurations top-notch now, but his appearance is also very beautiful. After listening to the introduction, it is called a computer that is not a computer. This idea is too cool. His data application system is also very convenient to operate, and even if it is not a professional talent, it can be easily operated.
There is also the operating system you independently developed. The technicians I brought have already conducted preliminary identification. It is the safest and stable system at present, which is crucial to the information security of our company. Xilai said.
Why is this? Has your company encountered something? Zhou Ming asked curiously.
Xilai sighed and replied: It is true. There was an information leakage incident in our information database, so in the later system software, we all had very high requirements for information security.
So that's it, then I think our system is indeed the most suitable for you, because we have independently developed a security lock on our system that can effectively control the flow of information. Simply put, it is to cut off the network as soon as possible when the system is invaded. Although this can not be said to ensure the security of information by 100%, it can at least minimize the risk of information being stolen. Zhou Ming said.
Xilai nodded and said: That's right, that's it, so after I inspected all the technology companies, I decided to choose you.
I am very happy about this, so we should talk about the cost issue next. Zhou Ming said.
This sounded like a thunder in Xilai's ears, which made him stunned at the time. He looked at Zhou Ming and asked: Is there any problem with the cost?
Of course, Mr. Xilai, have you forgotten that what you are participating in is the science and technology exhibition, and what we exhibit are all technology products that transcend the times, and are currently only present in laboratories. If you want to use them before we launch them on the market, don’t you think you should pay more fees?
Zhou Ming asked this on purpose. He looked at Xilai's very entangled look and added another sentence: Of course, if there are certain financial problems in Saifuk Company, I can understand it, then it is no problem to use past products instead. We can cut off some budgets, such as installing the new system on an old machine, or installing the old system with a new machine. Mr. Xilai, what do you think
Faced with Zhou Ming’s question, Xilai gritted his teeth and asked: What is your offer
Zhou Ming smiled: I'm afraid it's difficult for me to answer you for the time being, because I have to wait for my technicians to go to your company for on-site inspection, but I think it won't disappoint you.
This made Xilai vomit blood: Who is going to disappoint this thing
But on the surface, Xilai still had to look cold, and Zhou Ming finally stretched out his hand to him: I think that we can reach a preliminary transaction intention
Xilan held Zhou Ming's hand with a shout.
Chapter completed!
