(Bow and thank you for the support of "you're a little dizzy" and "come in exchange for 10" commuter pass!)

The Stanford Hotel is a high-standard luxury hotel in Paro, not only the activities of many companies in Paro City are held here, but also many companies in the entire Silicon Valley like to choose here, and Zhou Ming also chose here for the signing ceremony of Jieke Company and Siffolk Company.

December 26th is the first day after Christmas, at eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ming, Tang Ran and other people from Jieke Company came to the hotel to prepare for today's signing ceremony. Yesterday, the hotel had already set up the signing venue, and at half past eight, the chairman of the Siffolk company, Xilai, and the president of the company, Liboteng, also arrived at the hotel.

"President Tang, Vice President Zhou, I didn't expect the ceremony at nine o'clock, you came so early, it seems that you attach great importance to this signing event!"

Xilai greeted Zhou Ming for a while, but he was not interested in greeting Zhou Ming too much because he had been cheated by Zhou Ming for no reason, so he continued: "Since we have all arrived, then our signing ceremony will start immediately, and the signing of our company is fully represented by President Liboteng." ”

Zhou Ming didn't have any opinion on Xilai's words, but the lawyer they hired deliberately stood up and asked for an appraisal of the power granted by Suffolk to Liboteng.

It was quickly determined that Liboteng would grant power, and then Liboteng sat on the chair for signing the contract, but Zhou Ming asked them to wait a little longer, and Xilai asked in surprise: "Aren't all the people already here?" Or is your chairman going to come and sign this contract in person today?"

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "No, I want to say that your signing partner today is not us, but Aipai Company." ”

"Apai?" said Healai, even more surprised, "what does this have to do with them?"

"It's very simple, because we have already entrusted them with the project of upgrading your company's database, and in order to take into account the interests of our three parties, I propose that the best thing is to choose a tripartite contract. Zhou Ming replied.

If Healai was only a little confused before, then now he is completely confused, but he is confused not because he can't guess what the situation is, he can understand that the reason why there is another Apai company coming in is nothing more than because they want to hand over the project to them. But the key lies in the fact that this kind of project transfer is generally not contracted by large companies to break up the project and hand it over to a small company to do?

You must know that no matter what enterprise is in front of the project is the interests first, perhaps some small companies due to their own technology and product reasons, can only choose to make some concessions on the price, but large companies occupy the absolute advantage of products and channels, how can they still allow this kind of low-profit second-hand projects? This logically does not make sense at all!

"Mr. Healai has some things that he can't figure out, just know that we won't increase your budget if we hand them over to AP, and AP will not have any discounts on their technology and products as a well-known big company in Silicon Valley, that's fine. Zhou Ming said.

Xilai had no choice but to believe Zhou Ming, but he still felt very curious in his heart.

After another half an hour, someone pushed the door in, it was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, when he pushed the door in, Healai immediately recognized his identity: "Campbell, you are the vice president of the Apai Company! I am the chairman of the Siffolk Company, Helai, and I have cooperated with you!"

Xilai was surprised, in fact, Zhou Ming was also a little surprised, because when he was at the science and technology exhibition before, Zhou Ming deliberately used the media to force the chairman of Aipai Company to promise to provide follow-up services for this project, so when Zhou Ming thought about it, he must have been very angry, and then it was enough to send a random project manager, but he didn't expect to send a vice president over.

However, this also made Zhou Ming very relieved, because judging from this move of Aipai Company, he still has a good work ethic, even if it is a project imposed on them, they do not intend to smash their own signboard.

Xilai was surprised Zhou Ming was surprised, and Campbell was equally surprised, as the vice president of AP Company, of course he understood what contract he was going to sign, but what he didn't understand at all was that how could API Company fall to this point to sign such an OEM contract, who is this Zhou Ming?

When everyone arrived, the signing ceremony officially began, Jack, Apai and Siffolk sat on the three sides of the position, their signing contracts were checked by the lawyer before signing, after the signing, Siffolk Company Chairman Xilai immediately handed over a check to Tang Ran, which was agreed between Zhou Ming and Suffolk before, and paid a sum of money immediately after the signing, and the rest will be paid later.

The whole signing ceremony lasted for more than an hour, when the time reached half past ten, Campbell, the vice president of the company, and the chairman of the company, Xilai, they each left with their own people, and Cheng Qian took others back to the company, Zhou Ming went back to the hall after arranging everything, but found that Tang Ran was still sitting there, Zhou Ming couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with Ran Ran? Is there a problem with the check?"

Tang Ran shook his head and replied: "There is nothing wrong with the check, but Brother Ming, you spent 20 million, which is too much of a loss." ”

"So you feel sorry for my money. Zhou Ming sat down with a smile, and then said to Tang Ran, "If we just look at it purely from the perspective of income and expenditure, we spent 20 million but only earned 5 million, and even now we have only 2 million, we are indeed losing a lot of money in this business, but many things are not so simple from the perspective of income and expenditure." ”

"Brother Ming, do you want to say that we are here to inherit the Tang family?" asked Tang Ran.

Zhou Ming smiled and scratched Tang Ran's Xiaoqiong nose and said, "If I would have said yes before, but now I won't say so, because we have a good relationship with Jobs in this incident." ”

"Jobs, are you talking about the former chairman of the company who was kicked out of the company, and why is this person so important?" Tang Ran asked in surprise.

"Yes, if I tell you that this person will return to APAI in the future and lead AP to become one of the top 20 super multinational companies in the world, would you believe it?" Zhou Ming said.

"As long as it's Brother Ming, I believe it!" Tang Ran said firmly, but she still subconsciously gasped, "But is that person really that powerful?"

Zhou Ming thought for a while and replied: "If you want to say that he led AP to enter the top 20 multinational companies in the world, it will indeed take a long time to brew, but he has a very good project recently, we can invest, as long as this investment is successful, then not only can I get back all the money I invested this time, but even we can make a lot of money!"

Tang Ran wanted to say more, but Zhou Ming said first: "Okay, Ran Ran, don't think about it, let's dispose of this check first." ”

Tang Ran nodded and said yes, and then they went out together.

......

At the same time, far away on Quan'an Island in San Francisco Bay, an old man hurriedly walked out of the Tang family's ancestral hall and returned to the Tang family's old mansion.

He hurried to his study, and now there was a person waiting for him inside, and that was his cousin Tang Huiyin.

Seeing Tang Huiyin, Tang Jingsheng was not polite, and opened his mouth to ask straight to the point: "Huiyin, what happened to you in such a hurry to return to Quan'an?

"Honestly, I wish it was. Tang Huiyin said, "The fact is that since the last incident, you taught them a hard lesson, at least now they have become very cautious, although they will inevitably make some small moves behind their backs, wanting to make trouble for Tang Ran, but generally speaking, they are still within a rational range, I am here to tell you another thing, about that Zhou Ming." ”

Tang Jingsheng raised his eyebrows and made a gesture of invitation to Tang Huiyin, because Tang Jingsheng's attention to Zhou Ming was no lower than those heirs in order.

"There is no news on the situation at home, but there is other news in Brighton and North Russia. Tang Huiyin raised her head and said to Tang Jingsheng, "You have to be a little mentally prepared." ”

Tang Jingsheng nodded silently, and then Tang Huiyin turned Zhou Ming's business in Brighton from the dormitory convenience store, starting from fighting against Councillor Brooke, to a super investment company step by step, and uniting the other three major families to use subprime loans against the Addams family.

"I know my cousin will think that he is outrageous in Brighton, after all, the Brighton consortium is the oldest consortium in the United States, and the Adams family is also a dynasty, but you would never think that this is this person, he was also involved in the Dota Project in Northern Russia, which aimed to destroy the economy of the former Soviet Union, and relied on a key person to rebel, and finally made trillions of dollars from it. Tang Huiyin said.

After listening to Tang Huiyin's words, Tang Jingsheng was silent and frowned deeply, because this Zhou Ming had completely exceeded his expectations.

Originally, Tang Jingsheng simply thought that Zhou Ming was at most someone sent by some other consortium, but now, it seems that Zhou Ming's background is much more complicated than he imagined. Maybe he is still too naïve, you must know that the Addams family is a super family known as the first dynasty of the United States, although the Tang family is very powerful in San Francisco, but it can't be out of here, and since Zhou Ming even dares to fight the Addams family like that, what is the Tang family?

Tang Jingsheng rubbed his temples: "Is there any other news?"

Tang Huiyin nodded and said: "Although we have not yet found out the connection between Zhou Ming and the Yanjing authorities, I am sure that we must not touch him, and his relationship in the mainland is by no means simple." ”

Tang Jingsheng raised his head and asked why, to which Tang Huiyin replied: "Because when I was in Brighton, it was Cheng Jun, the consul general of the consulate, who went to pick up the opportunity, and later he was about to be arrested, but he got an amnesty from the president, I think these two points would definitely not be possible without the help of the forces behind them." ”

Tang Jingsheng sighed and raised his forehead and said, "It seems that it is necessary for me to talk to China on the phone." ”

"What about Tang Ran's assessment?" Tang Huiyin asked.

Faced with this tangled question, Tang Jingsheng hesitated for a while before answering: "Let's continue first, before there is accurate news, but we have to let the other boys work harder, we can't give all the family property to Tang Ran to inherit." ”

Saying that, Tang Jingsheng raised his head and said bitterly: "At least, this can ensure that our Tang family is still the Tang family, and at least there is still some assets that we can control." ”
