Chapter 189: Futai Science and Technology Exhibition
In San Francisco's Union Square, Tang Yi swaggered into Sunna's private dining room and was led by the waiter to a luxury box.
Walking into the box, Tang Yi was happy: "Yo, my cousin and cousin are all on time!"
There are two other people in the box, they are Tang Yu, the second heir of the Tang family, and Tang Wan'er, the fourth heir. At this moment, they were sitting at the table facing each other and drinking coffee, and on the other side, there happened to be a chair, obviously waiting for Tang Yi to come in.
"We came here early, my little cousin Tang Yi, you're not late!" Tang Wan'er chuckled.
Compared with Tang Wan'er's ease, Tang Yu frowned slightly and said: "As a member of the Tang family, or the third heir, Tang Yi, you should also have a sense of time, punctuality may not be the best, especially in front of people of different identities, now it is me and Wan'er, but what if it is other elders?
Tang Yi didn't bother to listen to Tang Yu's tirade pretending to be B, so he walked in directly and sat on the chair: "I said Cousin Tang Yu, everyone is your own person, you don't pretend to be B in front of me and Cousin Wan'er, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning." ”
Tang Yujian raised his eyebrows, and was about to scold, Tang Wan'er came out and said: "It's all your own people, don't hurt the harmony, we still have something to talk about!"
Tang Wan'er's soft voice was already very good, coupled with his charming and moving expression, as well as her words, it was difficult for people to continue to quarrel angrily.
Tang Yu was angry at this time, but snorted coldly and said: "Let's talk about business first, according to the news, yesterday Zhou Ming invited Brown, the director of the logistics department of Siffolk, to a banquet, and Brown told Zhou Ming some news about Siffolk, and also told Zhou Ming that Liboteng, the president of Siffolk in the future, will go to the science and technology exhibition to personally inspect various technology companies. ”
Tang Yi looked at Tang Yu meaningfully and said, "I didn't expect that this guy of yours is so well-informed, didn't you plant a spy next to Zhou Ming's guy?"
"It's none of your business. Tang Yu said coldly.
Tang Yi shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "This really has nothing to do with me, after all, it was the people around Zhou Ming's guy who betrayed him! ”
"What about you, Mr. Tang Yi, I think that you shout all day long, and you have no education at all, is the most despised thing, especially your broken car, which gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Tang Yu unceremoniously said back.
Tang Yi still wanted to say something, but at this time, Tang Wan'er stood up and became a peacemaker at the right time, Tang Yu and Tang Yi didn't talk anymore, seeing them like this, Tang Wan'er had no choice but to say: "But cousin Tang Yu, then I'm curious about what is your purpose in asking me and Tang Yi's cousin out today? Do you want us to help you deal with Zhou Ming?"
With Tang Wan'er's question, Tang Yu's ruthlessness couldn't collapse, but he didn't do anything, just sat there very quietly and said: "Tang Yi, you often travel around various exhibitions, you will be more familiar with the various situations in the exhibition than me, and Wan'er, I remember that you have invested in several high-tech companies, although there are not many projects of two million, but you can also let them try to participate in the competition." ”
Before the words fell, Tang Yi asked mercilessly: "Let's do this and that, what about you?" Are you going to move a stool and grab a melon seed to watch the show?"
"Of course I do my thing, I have a friend of mine in Suffolk, and I think I can do something else from within. Tang Yu said with some annoyance, "And in this exhibition, I will also let more companies participate, but more depends on you to do it." ”
"Remember, no matter who gets the inheritance in the end, the Tang family will still be the Tang family, but if they get it, then the Tang family won't know what the surname is in the future, so," Tang Yu said firmly, "No matter what, we must stop all this, whether it is the business of Jieke Company, or the careers of Tang Ran and Zhou Ming, it must be destroyed!"
......
Futai IT Technology Exhibition is a large-scale science and technology exhibition organized by Futai Company, which is a science and technology exhibition that came into being after the rise of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, with the purpose of displaying the products and future concepts of various high-tech companies.
The information about the science and technology exhibition was written by Zhou Ming on the blackboard of the conference room one by one, this is another plenary meeting of the company, the company's president Tang Ran, general manager Cheng Qian, and everyone from the marketing department and technical department are in the conference room. However, the company is now full of fifteen people, and there is not much difference between the plenary meeting.
"According to the news that I and the former general manager of Cheng Qian inquired before, in the future, the president of Siffolk will personally go to the Futai Science and Technology Exhibition for inspection, so as to have a certain understanding of the various companies, as well as the current IT market and computer equipment before the bidding begins, to put it bluntly, this is a time before the bidding, the president of Siffolk will have a thorough examination of all possible bidding companies, and winning this test will have a huge impact on the future bidding!"
Zhou Ming propped his hands on the table, looked at everyone present and said, "So, after discussing with President Tang, I decided that our company must also participate in this science and technology exhibition." ”
Although when Zhou Ming wrote the relevant information of the Futai Science and Technology Exhibition on the blackboard, everyone already thought that Zhou Ming wanted to participate, but when Zhou Ming really said this, it still caused an uproar in the conference room, but what everyone didn't expect was that this surprise had just begun.
"I'm a very strong person, so since we want to participate in this science and technology exhibition, we must come up with something that must conquer customers, so that even if there is no perfect score of 100 in this exam, at least it must be above 90!"
Zhou Ming nodded to the technical department: "Manager Liu Qiang, you are a top student who graduated from the University of California with a major in information technology, and you have always been doing technology, so this is up to you, is there a problem?"
Facing Zhou Ming's general, Liu Qiang looked very embarrassed, he hesitated for a while and finally said: "Vice President Zhou, I'm afraid this task can't be completed......"
Liu Qiang's words were corrected by Zhou Ming at the beginning: "Manager Liu, you can say that it is difficult, or you can directly ask me questions, but please don't directly deny that it can't be completed." ”
"I'm very sorry. Liu Qiang reorganized his thoughts and continued, "Our science and technology exhibition is very difficult, because Jieke company has only done some science and technology promotion, and has no experience in participating in this kind of large-scale science and technology exhibition, we don't know what to do, let alone face customers directly this time, I think Vice President Zhou, you don't know, a lot of our equipment is also very backward." ”
Liu Qiang sighed heavily at the end, in fact, his words are not difficult to understand, the central idea is that in the past when the company was in the most glorious time, it has never participated in this kind of science and technology exhibition, and now it has fallen into this way, and the equipment is completely out of touch with the times, how can you participate? You must know that it is the grandest science and technology exhibition in Silicon Valley, isn't this a shame in front of everyone?
Zhou Ming nodded: "I admit that this is indeed a very important issue in front of us. ”
Zhou Ming then changed sharply: "But this is not a reason for you to retreat, Manager Liu, you have to understand that you are the manager of the technology department, and the backwardness of the technology of Jieke Company has the most direct relationship with you, if you don't find a way to improve the technology yourself, or rent technology from your friends or other companies, can you solve the problem just by complaining to me?"
Liu Qiang lowered his head: "I'm sorry Vice President Zhou, I understand, I will act immediately and strive to make us the most advanced technology company in Silicon Valley before the start of the science and technology exhibition!"
Zhou Ming smiled and waved his hand and said: "Forget this kind of unrealistic promise, after the meeting, General Manager Cheng Qian will give you a document, which is the current equipment and various software of the Siffolk company's information database, and your technology should be studied carefully." ”
Liu Qiang's eyes lit up suddenly: "I promise to live up to my mission!"
At the end of the meeting, Zhou Ming and Cheng Qian left the company together, they need to go to Futai Company to negotiate to participate in the exhibition, after all, this kind of exhibition is not a roadside stall, anyone who wants to put it can pull a car to put it, it needs to be arranged by Futai Company. As Liu Qiang said before, JEC has never done an exhibition before, and this time it is a temporary cramming, so it is even more necessary to negotiate well.
Getting into the car, Cheng Qian suddenly asked Zhou Ming: "Vice President Zhou, do you really believe that Liu Qiang and the technical department can make the most first-class equipment and software in Silicon Valley in such a short period of time?"
Zhou Ming didn't answer this, but asked him rhetorically: "Then do you believe it?"
Cheng Qian shook his head and replied: "I don't believe it, this doesn't mean to insult and belittle Liu Qiang, I want to say that if he really has this ability, I'm afraid that Jieke Company will already become a super-first-class company in Silicon Valley, no matter how much the consortium wants to control the company, it will eventually give way to interests." ”
Indeed, the success of the company in the past was only due to the rise of Internet technology, and in fact, there was nothing particularly brilliant about itself. Zhou Ming continued, "But this is not important, although technology is a manifestation of a company's hard power, but it can also be passed by building booths with other companies, relying on other high-tech companies, and adding some things specifically for Sifolk." ”
Cheng Qian heard Zhou Ming's words: "Then Vice President Zhou, what you are really worried about is actually how to enter the exhibition, right?"
Zhou Ming thought about it and still asked him: "General Manager Chengqian, if you were Futai Company, would you allow a small company like Jieke to enter the exhibition with losses year after year?"
Cheng Qian thought carefully for a while and replied: "I don't think I will allow it, it has nothing to do with the size of the company, the key is the loss and turnover of the company, although I don't want to say, but the turnover of 200,000 a month, I'm afraid it is not enough to pay for the exhibition, if such a company is allowed to enter the exhibition, it is simply smashing its own signboard, which is never allowed by anyone who wants to be a brand." ”
"So I can only hope that the person in charge of Futai is not an outstanding manager, he just wants to create higher performance, then I still have a chance. Zhou Ming said with a smile.
