"You say. Chen Geng nodded.

Arthur del Prado took a deep breath and said, "Please allow me to become the exclusive Nordic distributor of the ThinkCenter series of microcomputers. ”

Chen Geng's brows furrowed suddenly: "You want to become the exclusive Nordic agent of the thinkcenter series?"

In a general sense, Northern Europe refers to the five countries of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland, which have a total area of 1.3 million square kilometers and a total population of about 22 million.

We all know that the Nordic countries are high-income countries, with a high per capita GDP and a high per capita income, which means that the upper limit of the price of computers for Nordic consumers is relatively high, and the Nordic countries attach great importance to education and technology.

However, if we take into account that Arthur del Prado sold ASMI to himself......

"Can you tell me why?" asked Chen Geng.

“……”

Arthur del Prado's expression instantly dimmed, and he was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Mr. Fernandez, doing business and research is too difficult, the pressure is too great, I don't want to live like this anymore, I want to live a relaxed and simple life." ”

“……”

People who do business know best how difficult it is to do business, and Chen Geng also fully understands why Arthur del Prado thinks so, patting Arthur del Prado's shoulder, Chen Geng said: "In this way, I can give you a nine-percent discount on the agency fee, and if you don't sign an agency contract once every three years, you have the right of first refusal to renew the contract, if you agree, you can negotiate with Dolucy about the specific details of cooperation." ”

Arthur del Prado knows very well how popular the thinkcenter series of microcomputers are in the market, in order to get the exclusive distributorship of the thinkcenter series in Northern Europe, Arthur del Prado doesn't mind paying more price, but he didn't expect Chen Geng to give himself a nine-percent discount on the agency fee.

It's not the point, the point is that he still has the right of first refusal of the agency, this promise is too precious, Arthur del Prado nodded excitedly: "Of course, I have no opinion, I don't have any opinion at all, I'm so happy...... Thank you, Mr. Fernandez, for giving me this opportunity to make a fortune......"

Thinking that in the future, he could make money lying down by acting as an agent for thinkcenter, and no longer have to bear the unsolvable difficulties and endless funding gaps encountered when developing lithography equipment, Arthur del Prado felt as if a 10,000-pound boulder had moved away from him, and he didn't know how much lighter he was.

"That's good, then that's it," Chen Geng stretched out his hand to Arthur del Prado: "Mr. Arthur, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"Happy cooperation," Arthur del Prado took the initiative to say without waiting for Chen Geng to speak: "Mr. Fernández, please rest assured, I will complete the contract with your negotiation team as soon as possible and sign the contract with you as soon as possible." ”

Chen Geng smiled and nodded.

It seems that ASMI's pressure on Arthur del Prado is really not ordinary, and it is no wonder that Arthur del Prado desperately wanted to sell ASMI to Philips, and the electronics giant Philips still refuses to ask for it.

……………………

"That's roughly the case," on the phone, after explaining the situation to Dolucy, Chen Geng instructed Dolucy: "If there is no problem with the big framework, you give him the agency as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. ”

Although the economy of the five Nordic countries is indeed very developed, but after all, the market size is there, and it is not at all the same as the United States, and Dolucy happily agreed: Anyway, the agency fee that should be given is a lot, as for giving this agency to Tom or Jerry, is there a difference?

After talking about thinkcenter's representation in the five Nordic countries, Chen Geng turned to ask: "How is the integration of Mr. Bell, Mr. Gray and the company?"

Speaking of this, Dorocy suddenly became dissatisfied: "Boss, I just now realize that it was a huge mistake to invite Gordon Bell and James Gray to our company. ”

Well?!

Listening to Dorothy's impolite calls to James Nicholas Gray and Gordon Bell by their first names, and the almost substantial, resentful tone, Chen Geng's hairs stood on end: "Damn! What the hell is going on?"

Chen Geng has never doubted the ability of Gordon Bell and James Nicholas Gray, these two are supergod-level existences, a so-called "real father of minicomputers", the Nobel Prize in the supercomputing industry is directly named after Gordon Bell, as for James Nicholas Gray, the database master, he won the Turing Award, the holy grail in the field of computing, plus Dolucy's husband Gary Kiridaire, there should be a wonderful chemistry between the three of them, It's right to collide with sparks of wisdom, but now listening to Dolucy's voice, why do you want to bite James Nicolas Gray and Gordon Bell to death?

"Boss, do you know that my husband has been living directly in the research institute with them since the two bastards James Gray and Gordon Bell came to the company, and this bastard hasn't been home for two months, and I haven't rolled the sheets with my husband for two months, two months!

Dorothy Kiridale's voice was filled with deep resentment.

"Ahem......"

Chen Geng coughed violently.

Well, Chen Geng finally understood why Dolucy was so resentful, having a husband but not having sex @ life for up to two months, what is the difference between this and being a widow?

"Well, it really shouldn't be ignored for the sake of technology," coughing twice, Chen Geng said embarrassedly: "I'll call Gary when I get back...... Well, no matter how fun the technology is, it is not a reason to ignore my wife's feelings, and I will remind him to pay the public rations on time, in good quality and quantity......"

Even though the current United States is the most open and inappropriate era in American history on the topic of "sex", Chen Geng always felt a little embarrassed to talk about this topic with his female subordinates as a boss, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked Dolucy: "By the way, Dolucy, I still have something to ask you, those students at Stanford University, the one headed by Anna, engaged in the personal financial management software, how did their software perform after it went public?"

In order to make a good start in the development of his support fund, Chen Geng gave Anna the green light to their "personal financial management software", not only sent experienced programmers from a data research company to assist Anna in modifying the software to make it easier to use, but also helped them optimize the logic and interface, making the logic more reasonable and the interface more friendly.

A few days before he came to the Netherlands, this software has officially entered the "software recommendation form" of the data research company, but the sales figures have not yet been counted, Chen Geng is very curious, what is the actual performance of this software?

"I was just about to tell you about this," Speaking of this, Dorothy's tone instantly changed from the resentful woman who hadn't been nourished for two months just now to become excited: "Boss, you can't guess what kind of sales they achieved in the first week!"

"Oh?"

"3286 sets!" Dolucy said excitedly: "Boss, it only took a week, and 3286 sets of this simple software were sold!"

"Really?"

Chen Geng was also very surprised by this result, the first software made by a few unknown students was able to sell 3286 sets in the first week?!

Although under their own advice, Anna and others finally priced this software at only 9.9 US dollars, although the recommendation of the data research company was indispensable, but in just one week, 3286 sets of software were sold, which is not enough to show that the "personal financial management" software developed by Anna and several other students really poked the sensitive point of market demand?

That's $32,000 a week, but what about the next month? What about the next year? How much does the software sell? How much does Anna make?

"Really," Anna said in an accentuated tone, "Not only that, but I looked at the statistical report, and the daily sales of this software are increasing day by day, and only sold less than 100 copies on the first day, but on the last day, it sold more than 800 copies! I think that after a period of stability, the monthly sales of this software should be able to reach about 8,000 copies, and I heard Anna say that many students at Stanford University are now looking for ideas, developing software, and preparing to apply for our startup fund......"

“……”

Chen Geng didn't speak, he laughed silently.

Compared with the hot sales of this software, Chen Geng's most important thing is the demonstration effect of the hot sales of this personal finance software in Stanford, MIT and the University of California, Berkeley, the three most powerful computer technology universities in North America, and the students' reactions: When your classmates have not only paid off their student loans during their time in school, but also earned a lot of money, do you envy them?

None of the students who can be admitted to these three universities will think that they are stupider than others, and the competition between students is also extremely fierce.

Of course the eyes are red!

Of course envy!

I am also a top student at Stanford, will it be worse than a girl?

Impossible!

What she can do, Lao Tzu can do too!

In this way, your opportunity has come.
