Although a Futai science and technology exhibition is expected to last for three days, generally speaking, only the first morning and the last day of the closing ceremony, the number of visitors to the exhibition is at its peak, and at other times, the number of visitors will obviously be much less.

This situation is also very normal, after all, the opening ceremony, many people are holding the hunting mentality of watching the latest technology products in Silicon Valley, and then without this mentality, the number of people will naturally decrease; as for the closing ceremony, as the end of an exhibition, various activities are indispensable, it is for this reason that many people come not to watch the exhibition, but more to participate in the event to watch the hot performance.

This is the practice of almost all exhibitions, and the company is no exception, although in the morning, hundreds of people come to surround his small booth into a flood, but after one o'clock in the afternoon, the crowd gradually disperses.

Zhou Ming had a chance to sit down, he let out a long breath and said: "Finally, I can rest for a while, this morning is really tiring enough, I said Brother Jobs, this will make you believe in your own vision, right?"

Jobs just sent off a guest, in fact, he originally because he had left the company, is now engaged in investment and animation production, and did not have a very suitable identity, so he did not plan to participate in the Futai Science and Technology Exhibition;

Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Jobs turned his head back and sat next to Zhou Ming and was silent for a while before saying, "Mr. Zhou Ming, thank you very much, you are really a great person like your father." ”

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment: "Brother Jobs, are you mistaken, all the products on display in the Jackie booth are your creative products, if you really say greatness, shouldn't it be you?"

Jobs shook his head very seriously and said: "No, I asked all the people who came here, and they were all attracted by your epoch-making speech, and everyone said that you will be a great person who will change Silicon Valley in the future and lead the world's scientific and technological innovation, and I, at most, am just a designer, maybe I am not so qualified." ”

Zhou Ming also shook his head and said: "Mr. Jobs, you must not think so, because you are very capable of leadership, in fact, the company has really grown up in your hands, although now although you have encountered some setbacks, you have also left the company, but as long as you do not give up to invest to prove your ability, I believe that you will definitely be able to return to the company in the future, and that is the moment when you really go to the top!"

Zhou Ming said and smiled slightly: "So you must not give up on yourself now, if it is my reason that the world is missing one Jobs, then my sin will be great, I don't know how many Epai fans will tear me apart in minutes." ”

As if to prove Zhou Ming's words, when Zhou Ming's words were finished, he saw the product manager of Apai Company coming over.

"Mr. Jobs, I am the first batch of old employees hired by AP Company, and in the past ten years, this is the worst exhibition I have ever attended! You may not be able to imagine that I still remember the appearance of the customers who came to our booth this morning, and even I remember what time they came, and I still remember that several of them reluctantly came to rest because Jacko couldn't squeeze in. ”

The more the product manager spoke, the more excited he became: "Mr. Jobs, you should go back to the company, only the company you are in is the company, you see how popular the products you exhibited here are the stars of this exhibition, you look at our side, oh my God, it's just mediocre like a joke!"

Jobs was stunned, completely unsure of what to say, because when he was kicked out by the current chairman of the company, Bauer, and the chief executive, John, he had been very doubtful of his ability, so he changed careers to become an investor. It was only because of the last bit of unconvincing in his heart that he bought Pixar Animation Studio, and it was only now that he realized that there was no problem with his ability.

Zhou Ming saw Jobs stunned there, he stepped forward and said to the product manager: "Don't worry, Jobs is just training outside, and he will go back one day." ”

Under Zhou Ming's persuasion, the product manager reluctantly went back, and Jobs also came back to his senses at this time, and he firmly said to Zhou Ming: "I understand, I won't give up, absolutely!"

Zhou Ming nodded silently, then patted Jobs on the shoulder and said, "It's good to know that you work hard, don't be so serious, it's not early now, we've been busy all morning, and it's time to go to lunch." ”

Saying that, Zhou Ming and Jobs both stood up, Zhou Ming called Tang Ran to prepare to leave together, but they stopped before they walked out of the booth, because they saw a few familiar figures, they were none other than the chairman of the Siffolk company, Xilai, the president, Liboteng, and the director of the logistics department, Brown, they all smiled awkwardly when they saw Zhou Ming and Tang Ran come out.

"Hey, Mr. Healai is so coincidental, are you also going to eat now?" Tang Ran asked curiously.

With Tang Ran's question, the already embarrassed people of the Siffolk Company suddenly became more embarrassed, but in fact, Tang Ran did not mean to embarrass them, although Tang Ran was indeed very angry with them at the beginning, but as they returned to the booth, when facing so many customers, they were all helpless, where could they take care of them?

It was because he had enough confidence at the exhibition that Tang Ran didn't care about them, so now when he saw them, he just subconsciously asked.

But the speaker had no intention of listening, and Tang Ran was originally a cute natural black, and her words were like a slap in the face in Xilai's ears.

Xilai smiled and found a staircase for himself and said, "We are going to eat, but we just happened to walk here, and I saw that there were fewer people at your booth, so I wanted to come over and talk to you about the project." ”

Hearing what Helai said, Tang Ran was very surprised: "Is it the project of your logistics department's information database? But don't you say that our Jieke company is rubbish, and you want to find the best and most high-tech company to do that kind of project? Why are you looking for us now?"

Facing Tang Ran's question, Xilai felt even more embarrassed, if Tang Ran's words before were just slapping him in the face, then now it can be said that he pressed his face to the ground and rubbed it wildly.

But even so, Xilai still put on a smiling face and said: "I didn't know about the technology market at the beginning, so I made a wrong judgment about the situation of Jieke Company, but now I understand that Jieke Company is a very powerful high-tech company in Silicon Valley, and since we are going to upgrade the information database of the logistics department, we must choose the best." ”

This time, Zhou Ming stood up and said to Xilai with a smile: "That's true, since you choose to upgrade the equipment, then you naturally have to choose the best, otherwise if you can't keep up with the times, it won't be long before you have to upgrade again, then this project will lose its meaning." Well, we're just going to have lunch now, and Mr. Jobs is here, he's the chairman of the original Apai Company, and Mr. Healey is going to go with him, and we'll have a good chat at the dinner table. ”

Xilai listened to Zhou Ming's words, and there was nothing wrong with it, but looking at Zhou Ming's smile, he always had a chilling feeling, as if a poor little white rabbit had walked into a wolf's den by himself.

Twenty minutes later, they all sat together in the dining room of the Stanford Conference Center, ordered the food and drinks, and Zhou Ming opened his mouth very unceremoniously and asked, "Mr. Xilai, let's talk about it, do you have any requirements for the equipment that needs to be updated this time?"

At this time, Xilai had already come out of the embarrassment just now, and for this question, he put down his knife and fork and replied: "Advanced, whether it is capacity, running speed, or software, we need to be the most advanced." ”

"With all due respect, Mr. Healay, in fact, in computer software, advanced and backward are actually relative, and advanced is not necessarily the best, but the best is the most compatible fit. ”

Zhou Ming thought for a while and asked him: "So Mr. Xilai, have you seen our products today? I wonder if Mr. Xilai has any special favorites?"

Healai nodded desperately at this like a chicken pecking rice: "I looked at your Mark model computer, not only all the configurations are now the top, but the appearance is also very beautiful, I listened to the introduction, it is called a computer that is not a computer, this idea is so cool, and his data application system is also very convenient to operate, even if you are not a professional can easily operate." ”

"There is also your independently developed operating system, the technical staff I brought has been preliminarily identified, it is the most secure and stable system at present, which is crucial for our company's information security. Shilay said.

"Why is this?, has your company ever encountered something?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

Helai sighed and replied: "That's true, there was an information leak in our information base, so in the later system software, we all have very high requirements for information security. ”

"I see, then I think our system is indeed the most suitable for you, because we have independently developed a security lock on our system, which can effectively control the flow of information, simply put, when the system is intruded, it can cut off the network as soon as possible, although this does not dare to say that it can ensure the security of information 100%, but at least the risk of information theft can be minimized. Zhou Ming said.

Healai nodded and agreed, "That's right, so after looking at all the tech companies, I decided to choose you!"

"I'm very happy about that, so let's talk about fees. Zhou Ming said.

Hearing these words in Xilai's ears was like a thunderbolt, which made him stunned at the time, he looked at Zhou Ming and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the cost?"

"Of course, Mr. Healai, have you forgotten that you are attending a science and technology exhibition now, and what we are exhibiting is also technology products that are ahead of the times, all of which currently only exist in the laboratory, and want to use them before we put them on the market, don't you think you should pay more?"

Zhou Ming asked deliberately, he looked at Xilai's very tangled appearance, and finally added: "Of course, if the SFK company has certain problems with funds, I can also understand it, then it is no problem to replace it with the past products, we can cut some budgets, such as installing new systems on old machines, or installing old systems with new machines, what do you think?"

Facing Zhou Ming's question, Xilai gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what is your offer?"

Zhou Ming smiled: "I'm afraid it's difficult for me to answer you for the time being, because I can't know until my technicians go to your company for a field trip, but I won't let you down." ”

These words made Shirai vomit blood: who is going to be disappointed in this thing?

But on the surface, Xilai still had to make a cold look, and Zhou Ming finally stretched out his hand to him: "I want to say this, we can reach a preliminary transaction intention?"

Heaine shook Zhou Ming's hand.
