Chapter 204: All-round cooperation

When Zhou Ming and Liu Qiang came out of the Siffolk company again, today's Futai Science and Technology Exhibition had ended, Tang Ran was inviting all the employees of the company to eat at the very famous sunflower restaurant, they also quickly rushed over, and a quarter of an hour later, all the people of Jieke Company were already seated at the table.

At the company dinner, Tang Ran, as the president, spoke first: "It has been half a month since I took over the company, and with the joint efforts of me and everyone, our company has changed from a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy at the beginning to a thriving company! Although today is the second day of the science and technology exhibition and the day with the lowest relative popularity, we still signed a three-point order, and we have developed a lot of customers who have the intention of cooperation with our company. ”

"It's very exciting, and it shows that all of you here are very good people, and I thank you on behalf of my Board of Directors and myself. ”

Tang Ran got up and bowed to everyone as he spoke, and all the employees of Jieke Company also got up and saluted Tang Ran when they saw Tang Ran like this.

Zhou Ming was very satisfied with this situation, and it seemed that Tang Ran was indeed learning how to be a competent leader.

After Tang Ran, General Manager Cheng Qian said: "President Tang thanked us just now, but I think we should be more grateful to President Tang and Vice President Zhou, after all, if it weren't for them, there would be no current Jackie, we may still have to live in fear, for fear that one day the company will declare bankruptcy, where is there a chance to participate in the Futai Technology Exhibition, where is the opportunity to contact such information technology?"

After speaking, Cheng Qian also took the lead in standing up and bowing to Tang Ran and Zhou Ming respectively, and the others did the same.

After Cheng Qian, Zhou Heng of the marketing department also said: "General Manager Cheng is right, it's true, today I asked several of my customers to come to the science and technology exhibition, they saw our display products, they all showed strong interest, this is the credit of President Tang and Vice President Zhou!"

Everyone is praising it, only the accountant Susan wants to complain: "It's just that our Jieke company is getting better and better, and there are more and more financial things, I only hope that President Tang and Vice President Zhou must recruit two more accountants as soon as possible, otherwise the financial work will be very troublesome, and I don't want to drag the whole company back because of financial reasons." ”

Everyone said a word, the atmosphere in the box was very good, even if it was Susan's complaint, but her face was still full of joyful smiles, after all, the company was good for her.

In this joyful atmosphere, Zhou Ming stood up and said: "Seeing that everyone is so happy, then I can't delay my feet, so I'll tell you a better thing! Today, Manager Liu and I went to the Siffolk Company to evaluate the situation of their information database, and the result was that if the equipment and software were updated according to their requirements, a budget of at least five million would be needed. ”

This number immediately surprised everyone, although everyone knew that Zhou Ming and Liu Qiang went to the Sefolk company today, but no one expected that such a large order would come out.

"It's incredible, how can there be five million? Didn't you say only two million?"

Someone immediately asked Liu Qiang, and Liu Qiang didn't know how to answer this, so he couldn't really say that Zhou Ming was deliberately cheating on that Siffolk company, right? Although this is a pit for other companies, it also damages the image of the leader, isn't it?

In the end, Zhou Ming relieved him: "There were indeed two million at the beginning, but they wanted the best for everything, we recalculated for them, and finally gave them a figure of five million, and after this science and technology exhibition, you can go to officially sign the contract at any time." ”

As Zhou Ming finished speaking, the scene once again erupted in warm cheers, although there is no official contract yet, but Tang Ran and Zhou Ming have brought so many miracles, so the employees of Jieke are very confident in them.

Of course, some people also raised questions, Cheng Qian asked: "Vice President Zhou, it is indeed great that we can get the 5 million project, but can our technology and production capacity meet their requirements?"

Cheng Qian was like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished the enthusiasm and made everyone stunned, because what Cheng Qian said was a very real problem, because the previous situation of the company was extremely poor, so many people were fired, and it was for this reason that the original three departments of technology research and development and engineering were merged into one department. In addition, what they exhibited at this science and technology exhibition is not their own technology, how can this complete the production task?

In the face of everyone's confusion, Zhou Ming answered for them: "General Manager Cheng, your worries are right, but you seem to have forgotten that we have a cooperation agreement with AP Company in this exhibition, so we can ask them to be responsible for the orders we want to reach during the science and technology exhibition, but we can't complete the tasks ourselves." ”

Zhou Ming's words made everyone stunned, as employees of Jieke Company, of course they all knew about the cooperation between Jieke and Aipai Company in the exhibition, but can they still ask the other party to help their orders for production tasks?

In this regard, Zhou Ming said with a smile: "Of course, the agreement is not so clear, but this is also a technical service. ”

Is that okay?

All the employees of Jieke Company expressed doubts about Zhou Ming's method, after all, this is a bit too scoundrel, if Ai Pai Company does not want to be completely entangled, after all, this contract is only ambiguously written to ensure all technical problems during the exhibition, just this sentence, this lawsuit can be fought for at least several years, but Jieke Company can't afford to wait so long!

No one understood where Zhou Ming's confidence came from, and the next day, Zhou Ming and everyone from JEC came to the Stanford Convention Center again, ready to help JEC achieve a wonderful conclusion at this meeting.

However, when Zhou Ming and they came to the booth of Jieke Company, they found that it was full of people again, but this time the crowd did not surround their booth, but surrounded the booth of Ai Pai Company next door, Zhou Ming looked around, and saw that the current chairman of Ai Pai Company, Bauer, and CEO John were here, and they were making speeches to reporters.

"Today is the last day of the Futai Science and Technology Exhibition, I am very honored to be here to introduce to you the latest products of the company, he is a computer, it is a computer produced by our company, all the configurations in it are the best in the world, and his price is also the most reasonable and fair. As you can see, there are a lot of concept products in our booth, and they are like chicks who have already put on makeup, waiting for you to choose at any time, and of course, I believe that they represent the future of technology. ”

In front of countless reporters, Bauer gave a passionate speech, but Zhou Ming shook his head secretly, although Bauer's humor caused the crowd to laugh, but it can be seen that they still have little interest in the product itself.

Bauer himself seemed to have discovered this, so he saw the people from Jack Company coming, and immediately changed the topic, he pointed to Jack Company and said: "You see, that is the booth of Jack Company, which belongs to the booth of our cooperative company, and the products and software they display are all developed by our Apai Company." ”

It wasn't until this sentence that all reporters were surprised, and of course, his remarks also made Tang Ran very dissatisfied.

"What kind of person is this, these products and technologies were thrown at us like garbage at the beginning, and now Brother Ming, you have made these things famous, and they say that they are theirs, and you have to be shameless?" Tang Ran muttered.

"There's no way around it, after all, these things are indeed from the Apai Company. Zhou Ming comforted Tang Ran and said, "And the most important thing is that it may not be a good thing for us for them to say this." ”

Tang Ran didn't understand Zhou Ming's last sentence, Zhou Ming just smiled at her, and then Zhou Ming walked to the booth of Aipai Company, and took the initiative to greet Baoer, Baoer saw Zhou Ming come over and said: "This is the vice president of Jieke Company, and the cooperation with our Aipai Company was proposed by him, he said that he likes the products and technologies of Aipai Company very much, and I will hand over the company's best products to him to exhibit." ”

"From planning to exhibition, we have formulated a series of plans for him, coupled with the best products of Aipai, which naturally made Jieke an instant hit, but in any case, Mr. Zhou Ming is also a very good executive. Bauer's tone was very condescending.

With Bauer's words, the focus of all reporters immediately turned to Zhou Ming, after all, the speech on the first day of the science and technology exhibition was still very surprising.

Zhou Ming was not angry at Bauer's obvious move, he just smiled and nodded: "That's true, Jieke Company and Aipai Company have an agreement on in-depth cooperation. ”

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Bauer breathed a sigh of relief at the time, and he told reporters: "In order to be at the forefront of the times, our company will often cooperate with other small companies and hand over technology and products to them for publicity, so as to stimulate the re-innovation of our own technology, so as to better maintain our vitality, which is very important." ”

Zhou Ming still smiled and said: "AP is indeed a great company, the most important thing is that after they hand over their products and technologies to us for exhibition, they will provide us with a complete set of technical services." ”

"This is inevitable, because it's not that I look down on you, for the products and technology of our company, ordinary small companies are completely uncontrollable, and now in such a key place as the science and technology exhibition, of course we have to give you a lot of technical support. In the end, Bauer did not forget to boast, "This is the responsible attitude of our company!"

Zhou Ming also said: "That's right, AP Company not only provides us with services and assistance at the science and technology exhibition, if we sign any orders at the science and technology exhibition, they will also wholeheartedly provide free help as Mr. Bauer just said." ”

Bauer nodded subconsciously at first, and then reacted in surprise: "When did I say that?"

"Just now. Zhou Ming said, "Didn't Mr. Bauer just say that AP is a company with a responsible attitude? So aren't you ready to be responsible for the support provided to us at the science and technology exhibition? Or did Mr. Bauer just deliberately say this in front of the media, but in fact you have other plans and are deliberately deceiving us?"

"Of course there is no deception!" said Bauer, "but our understanding may not be the same." ”

"What difference can this be?" Zhou Ming said with an innocent face, "In our cooperation agreement, there is a clear article, in this science and technology exhibition, AP Company is responsible for providing us with technology and product support, as well as all supporting support, and Jieke Company has to pay 10 million US dollars for this, does Mr. Bauer mean that we spend 10 million US dollars just to buy these products and technology, and temporarily put them on display here?" Or do you need me to come up with our contract to prove that we are truly working together in all aspects?"

Zhou Ming's words caused an uproar at the scene, and all the reporters raised their cameras in surprise and frantically shot at Bauer.

In the face of so many media, Bauer knew that he had no way out, and he knew that once he nodded, not only would the image he had worked so hard to create just now be ruined, but he was afraid that the brand image of API would also be ruined.

So Bauer could only nod in submission and said: "Of course not, of course our cooperation is an all-round cooperation, this cooperation is not limited to temporary exhibitions, for the agreement you signed, or other orders, we will also be responsible for the end." ”
