No matter how bad the situation is, it will happen later, and there is a chance to remedy it.

Principal Batistuta calmed down for a while, and after thinking about this, he opened the drawer and took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, just like the first time they met yesterday, and asked Su Mu if he had learned in advance that the school was going to purchase computers, and asked again at this moment: "Have you read "The Art of War"?"

Su Mu told him: "I have read it, I have read both the Chinese version and the English version, and the meaning of some words has changed after being translated into English, and I think the Chinese version is more classic and can learn a lot." ”

The old principal has been engaged in the education industry since he was young, it's not that he hasn't been threatened by students, but he has never been threatened so hard by students, he can't think of any other way to deal with it except to help Su Mu solve the problem, if he expells Su Mu...... That's even more powerful, maybe even the school will sue together, and the school has a very high chance of losing the lawsuit!

And whether he wins or loses the lawsuit, it is a great blow to the reputation of Menlo Park Private High School, Su Mu has put himself in the position of the disadvantaged group from the beginning, and all walks of life sympathize with the disadvantaged group.

This is not something that students can come up with casually, and Batistuta has seen many incidents of bullying in schools.

Those students who were bullied did not have a very good solution except to swallow their anger, transfer schools, and complain to their parents, although they were being threatened by the Chinese little guy in front of him, he sincerely thought that Su Mu was powerful.

Picked up a lighter, lit a cigar, spit out the smoke and said with a smile: "It's like a student who has just transferred to another school, similar to the politicians I usually deal with, and you are suitable to work in the White House in the future." ”

Half sarcasm, half praise.

Su Mu saw the old principal pointing to the chair and sat down across from his desk, "Thank you for the compliment, sir." ”

"Unfortunately, I can't read Chinese, otherwise I would definitely read the original book, it is said that the greedy guys on Wall Street will put a copy of "The Art of War" on their desks, and many university professors will also recommend this book, and West Point Military Academy will include it as one of the books that students must read, and our school should also strongly recommend it." ”

After speaking, Principal Batistuta pointed to Su Mu, and then to the students on the playground outside the window, and sighed: "Look, this is the difference between what I have read and what I have not, do I have any other way to go besides helping you?"

This is a very high evaluation of Su Mu, Su Mu thought about it seriously and told, "No." If the school doesn't solve it, I will indeed sue them, and the school will not be able to excuse me, nor can I refute it with moral or academic stains, and since you have decided to admit me at public expense, it means that I am one of the best students, and in the end the jury and the judge will be on my side. ”

Speaking of "The Art of War", this is probably the most popular book in Chinese books in the world, countless celebrities have given it high praise, in which the theory can not only be used in the military, but also in business, the wall blossoms outside the wall, but in the birthplace of this work, people treat it as an "old antique".

The old headmaster had a more open-minded personality, even if he was "threatened" by Su Mu, he was not angry or angry, and there was a powerful student in the school, he was happy because of this, and asked:

"What about the computers? This is a check from Daniel's father, you take it downstairs and go to Hoover's accountant, just contact him for purchases, and the rest of the money will be used to organize the school celebration. Also, tell me those girls who made up rumors, you must be straight, I can see at a glance, Daniel's personality I know, this time I must be angry, right?"

“...... I don't know, he seems to have refused to deal with me, I didn't find him yesterday, and no one answered his calls. The computer has been contacted by the merchant, and the goods are available at any time, and they can be delivered to the school tomorrow, which is definitely the cheapest price. ”

Su Mu's answer was beyond his expectations, and Principal Batistuta nodded and didn't say much, but just spoke:

"You go to class first, write their names on this piece of paper, and I'll help you figure it out, Daniel's father's phone should be coming to me soon, he dotes on his children too much. ”

The check said "200,000", a full 200,000 US dollars, and when Su Mu saw this number, he felt that Daniel's family might be richer than he thought.

Last time he took a check for $170,000, Su Mu was considered to have seen the world, and he was excited at the moment, thinking that he would soon change hands and spend it, but he was not too excited.

The joy brought by the first business, with Daniel's estrangement in the past two days and the dilution of rumors in the school, the hard-earned fee still has to be earned, this is the money he deserves, but he doesn't plan to make too much, Daniel's share will be given to him too.

Go downstairs and find the Hoover accountant, the check has the name of the high school written on it, and the money will be transferred to the school account first.

The money for the purchase of the computer will also be paid to him from the school account after contacting the supplier, and after deducting the purchase cost, the rest is the profit.

There has never been a shortage of businesses selling computers in Silicon Valley, but now there is a shortage of buyers, so after school in the evening, he rode his bicycle with Li Ping'an and went to the very small store with the receipt of the last purchase of computers.

The three IBM computers ordered were already in the store, and the boss's name was Charlie, and when he saw Su Mu, he said happily: "It's great, I still called you in the morning, but unfortunately I can't get through, do you need me to help you deliver them to your door?" I mean wait until the store closes later, business is better in the evening, and someone may come to buy something, so you have to wait." ”

James They occupy the phone line all day long, and it is strange that they can get through the phone, Li Ping'an will look at Su Mu in wonder, not knowing what is going on with these three computers.

"Okay sir, I'm not in a hurry for the time being, are you willing to do a big business?"

"What big business?"

"Seventy IBM computers, not the kind with a minimum configuration of more than 1,000 dollars each, some schools need to use them. ”

Su Mu had already asked a few yesterday, but did not specifically negotiate the price, and he was still shopping around, trying to find the lowest price.

Boss Charlie instantly came to his senses, "Seventy units?

Su Mu said: "Everyone has the goods, I want to know the price." IBM5160-PC/XT, 518K memory, 10M solid state drive, color screen, equipped with Microsoft operating system, how much can you give at the lowest price?"

"Mr. Charlie, you earned me more than four hundred dollars for these three computers, and now you can't give me such a high price, and everyone else is begging for my order. ”

The IBM5150, released in 1981, has a minimum price of $1,565 and more than $6,000 if you want a full memory, a color screen, etc.

In order to officially meet the competition, Apple also bought the headline of the Wall Street Journal at that time, and only wrote "Welcome IBM, Seriously".

It's just that the price is too high, the market response is not good, and only more than 13,000 units were sold in the year of launch, with a market share of only 1.9 percent, and Apple probably occupies 17 percent of the market share.

Recently, the situation is favorable to IBM, with the IBM5160-PC/XT in the market at a low price, the market share is rising, the entry price is only 669 US dollars, but many configurations are not, some time ago Sumu configured a computer of 2,500 US dollars, the performance is already very good.

When Boss Charlie heard this, he immediately understood that he was knowledgeable, gritted his teeth and whispered: "I earn fifty per unit, and the rest of the profits are yours ......"
