Chapter 234: Smuggling of Defective Products

Langdon then contacted FSK, who made him even more angry because FSK said that the supply had been tight recently and that it would not accept new orders for the time being. Langdon had no choice but to call a councillor who had a good relationship with FSK and asked him to mediate the matter, and the councillor persuaded FSK to take the order, but the price was three times as much.

Langdon was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and in less than half a month, the price had tripled, and even if he could get the goods, the people from the Ministry of Defense would definitely not be able to agree. The Ministry of Intelligence first persuaded the Ministry of Defense to cancel the subscription, and then fooled the Ministry of Defense to renew the subscription, is it because the Ministry of Defense has too much money to spend, so it has to buy an expensive one?

"What a headache!" Langdon pinched his forehead, he was already out of the face of the intelligence department, but he couldn't stand the people everywhere who fell into the well and took advantage of the fire to rob. What can I do now, let alone deal with Liu Xiao, just these people who watch the fun and jokes are already tossing themselves half to death.

Liu Xiao was frowning in the office in a daze, he was thinking about what kind of keynote speech he should give when he arrived in Lei City in a few days, since he had promised Gu Zhendong, he had to do this well for others.

MM at the front desk came to knock on them, "Mr. Liu, that foreigner is here again!"

Liu Xiao's brows furrowed even further, what was this old hairy man doing here, so he said, "What about people?"

"In the small conference room!"

"Okay, I'll go!" Liu Xiao threw down his keynote speech, got up and walked to the door.

"Mr. Liu, hello!" Old John stood up when he saw Liu Xiao coming in, "I didn't bother you!"

"It's okay!" Liu Xiao waved his hand, "You sit! Mr. John is here today, is there something important?"

"It's not important, it's just that I happened to pass by and come up and thank you!" John laughed.

"Thank you?" Liu Xiao was a little puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"

"First, I want to thank Mr. Liu for his guidance last time, you let us accept the unsubscription of country F, and as you expected, they ran back to renew, and this time we offered him three times the standard price!" Old John smiled with a happy face, "Second, thank you Mr. Liu for being able to effectively protect the interests of our agents, I know that country F used diplomatic means to secretly want to send a batch of goods from other countries, but they didn't expect that Mr. Liu's eyes were like torches, and he had already seen through their tricks." ”

"Oh, that's it!" Liu Xiao understood, and said, "This is what we should do, not enough thanks!"

"Thank you, thank you! To be honest, I admire Mr. Liu's fair and just style of doing things very much!" Old John looked at Liu Xiao, "It is our honor to be able to cooperate with a person like you who preaches morality and principles!"

Liu Xiao was a little confused, I don't know what it means that Old John came to pat himself today, the people of FSK can't wait to die by themselves, this is too abnormal, Liu Xiao smiled on his face, but his heart was up and down, these foreign hairs wouldn't come up with any tricks to pin themselves.

"In order to show my admiration for you, and to thank you for your impartiality, I have booked a dinner at the International Hotel, please be sure to enjoy it!"

"Dinner?" Liu Xiao thought for a while, okay, by the way, let's see what tricks this guy wants to play, "Why are you embarrassed to break the bank!"

"Then Mr. Liu agreed?" John saw that Liu Xiao had no objection, so he stood up, "Great, great! Then I won't bother you, I will leave first, and I will send someone to pick you up in the evening!"

Liu Xiao really couldn't believe that this was true, he never intended to be fair and just, and he never thought of helping FSK, the reason why he did this was completely to force country F, these guys almost took their own lives in Feng Ming, and they just wanted to make their lives uncomfortable, just for this purpose.

"Cut!" Liu Xiao sneered, looking at the direction in which Old John had disappeared, "I'll help you, unless Lao Tzu's head is kicked by a donkey!"

However, when Old John said this, he reminded Liu Xiao that this single business in country F must not be allowed to be done by FSK, three times the price, what a big profit this must be, even if country F does not add orders, FSK can quickly return to the cost once it is relied on, and when they recover the cost, it will not be as honest as it is now, maybe there will really be some small moves.

"No!" the corners of Liu Xiao's mouth curled up into a wicked smile, "Even if you come to thank me, Lao Tzu can't let you choose this cheap! Today Lao Tzu also made an exception and gave you a 'eat according to food, drink according to wine, just don't do anything'!"

Liu Xiao is also crooked, in fact, Old John came to thank him, and there was really no other purpose, just to thank Liu Xiao for creating such a good opportunity for FSK to quickly return to the capital. Old John knew that Liu Xiao would not really take FSK as a partner, so he was afraid that Liu Xiao would be stuck in the supply again, so he came to show his "loyalty" in advance, so as to paralyze Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao ran back to the office, dialed Gu Zhendong's phone, and didn't have time to report home, so he said directly: "Mr. Gu, now you have a good business, I don't know if you can do it?"

"Bang bang!" there were two knocks on the door, and Langdon put down his work, "Please come in!"

"Langdon, I have important information for you!"

"Oh?" Langdon was surprised, Richard had always had a problem with himself, and in his own mind, it seemed that this was the first time Richard had come to his office!

"You know Nell, right?" said Richard, excited, as he walked to Langdon's desk in a few steps.

Langdon nodded, "Yes, Nell is the third largest telecom operator in the country, what's wrong with them?"

Richard took out a document and put it on Langdon's desk, "This is a document from the customs, Nell company shipped a batch of goods from China, and the customs found that there were more than 170 sets of strategic products of the soft alliance in this batch of goods!"

"What?" Langdon stood up, "Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely, definitely!" Richard patted the file on the table, "Customs news, is that fake?"

"Strange!" Langdon pinched his chin, "SoftAlliance's strategic products are exclusively operated by FSK in Europe, and all products must be sent by SoftAlliance to FSK, and then FSK to the orderer, how can Nell pull the products back directly from China." You know, this product needs to be verified by the network, and if you can't pass the verification, it will be a waste product to get back!"

"Two possibilities!" Richard smiled, "One is that the SoftAlliance is smuggling its own products, you know, they and FSK used to be rivals, and the Softalliance will not let FSK make money in Europe so easily;

Langdon nodded, this Richard was very analytical this time, "Richard, you personally go to Nell Company and ask to see where they got their strategic products, and what they got them for?"

"Okay, I'll go!" Richard smiled, "Don't worry, I'll do this well this time, carefully!"

Langdon smiled, "Then I'll trouble you!", sending Richard away, Langdon couldn't help but see a glimmer of hope in his heart, if Nell Company really has this channel, then all problems will be solved, he doesn't have to beg FSK anymore, and he doesn't have to be afraid of those who watch the excitement, the only thing to worry about is that the soft alliance suddenly blocked this channel.

Langdon sighed, I've really been worried about myself these days, FSK has dragged a lot of people to say, but the price has not dropped a dime, FSK also requires that he can double the order, otherwise he won't do this business, it seems that FSK is also retaliating against himself because of the last unsubscribe. Richard, who always makes mistakes, finally came to his senses this time, otherwise he would have to go to the FSK headquarters in person to ask for someone now, and he may not be able to negotiate.

One hour later, Richard returned.

"How?" Langdon asked hurriedly, "Did you figure it out?"

Richard ran over and poured himself a glass of water first, then drank it in one go, and took two breaths before saying, "Figured it out!"

"Tell me, what's going on?" Landon was dying, but Richard was slowing down.

"That's right!" Richard paused, "Nell's strategic products are really genuine, and they definitely work, I saw with my own eyes that those products have passed the authorization verification of the soft alliance, and now they are working normally!"

"Go on!" Langdon urged, "where did their goods come from?"

"Nell and China's Huawei Group are strategic partners, Huawei you know, right?" Li looked at Langdon, and then continued: "This Huawei Group, and SoftAlliance are also strategic partners, the hardware part of the SoftAlliance strategic firewall is made by Huawei, and even their products are finally assembled and pressed in Huawei's factory, and all their finished products are sent from Huawei's production workshop. ”

"Did Nell get the goods from Warwick?" Langdon asked.

"Yes!" Richard nodded, "The person in charge of Nell's company told me that the domestic network security form has been a bit severe recently, and they are a little worried, they know that Huawei is a partner of the soft alliance, so they want to ask Huawei to ask the soft alliance to see if there is any better way to deal with it, but Huawei took this matter down, saying that as long as the policy-level firewall of the soft alliance is assembled, the safe operation of the telecom platform can be guaranteed." ”

"What the hell is going on with that thing?" Langdon was concerned about this, "After the Ministry of Defense announced the unsubscription, FSK withdrew from our domestic strategic business because of security suspicions!"

"The goods came directly from Warwick, without going through SoftAlliance and FSK!" Richard smiled, "According to Nell, because of the sale of the market to agents, the profit sharing plan that SoftAlliance promised to Huawei could not be realized, so SoftAlliance gave Huawei a 5% defective rate, in fact, the probability of Warwick producing defective products is less than one in 1,000." After eliminating the defective products, Huawei does not need to report the number of extra products to the soft alliance, but sells them by itself, and the profits belong to Huawei, which is almost equivalent to the extra cheap out of thin air, so Huawei sells it quite cheaply! This time the batch of goods obtained by Nell Company is from 5% of the batch we ordered last time, and Huawei does not even have to change the authorization!"

"I see!" Langdon bowed, "It seems that this is not the soft alliance smuggling its own products, but Huawei is peddling the 5% defective products!"

"It's not a defective product, the defective products have been eliminated!" Richard corrected, "This is the benefit promised to Warwick by the Soft Alliance." ”

"I understand!" Langdon is just an analogy, I didn't expect Richard to be really serious, Langdon paced in place twice, it seems that he wants to get a lot of products from Warwick, it's not realistic, 5%, how many orders do you have to make up to make up this part of the product, and it has to be an order from country F.

Richard knew what Langdon meant, so he said: "Actually, it is not too difficult to get the products we need from Huawei, you must know that the products of the stand-alone activated version do not need to be authorized from the soft alliance first, and the production line of the single-machine activated version is in Huawei, as long as we can convince Huawei, we can get strategic-level products!"

"Warwick and SoftAlliance are partners, and he will do this behind his own partner's back?" Langdon asked, apparently not thinking the plan was feasible.

"I have understood, Huawei is not actually close to the soft alliance, before the soft alliance released the strategic level, Huawei wanted to be the first person in China's security, but because of the soft alliance's halfway kill, resulting in the failure of Huawei's investment of up to one billion, Huawei finally had to withdraw from the field of network security, and concentrate on the business of secure storage in cooperation with Syman. Richard seemed confident, "I have consulted Nell's boss, before the soft alliance did not grow, the need for Huawei market, so he made a promise to Huawei, as long as Huawei can introduce strategic products to its own telecom operators, the profits, Huawei can be divided into 30%, and then the soft alliance changed its strategy, all the markets are packaged and sold, and handed over to companies like FSK to operate, so that Huawei will not have this income, this alone, Huawei will make at least about three or four billion US dollars less. Do you think Huawei can be satisfied?"

"That's right!" Langdon thought to himself, if that was the case, it wasn't impossible.

"I heard from the person in charge of Nell that Huawei is very dissatisfied with this, but because now that the soft alliance is strong, he is not good to tear his face with the soft alliance again, it is said that Huawei has sold strategic products to telecom operators in many countries, and some products are not in the 5% at all!" Richard said.

"This can't be sloppy!" Langdon had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he felt that things would not be so simple, and he had to be careful against an opponent like Liu Xiao, "You go and verify it again, and let the person in charge of Nell make it clear which ones he knows about the goods taken from the soft alliance, and verify them all." In addition, go to China through other channels to investigate and see if there is really a grudge between Huawei and the soft alliance?"

"I see what you mean!" Richard didn't dare to be sloppy this time, "I'll go check this out right away!"

"At the same time of verification, you ask the person in charge of Nell to ask Warwick to see if they have the ability to get tens of thousands of soft alliance products?" Langdon pinched his chin, "This thing must be done well, and you must not leave the news!"

"I understand!" said Randon, "then I'll go!"

Langdon paced back and forth in the room, all this Richard said sounded seamless, without a trace of flaws, but why did he feel uneasy, was he a little too nervous by Liu Xiao's tricks? Langdon carefully went through what Richard said back and forth, and still didn't find anything suspicious, if Hua Wei really has a contradiction with the soft alliance, all this is normal, but even if there is no contradiction between Hua Wei and the soft alliance, all this is still normal, but nothing can be analyzed from Nell's batch of goods, because this batch of products only has more than 100 sets, which can be completely explained as the 5% defective products.

But here's the question, why did the Soft Alliance give Huawei such a high rate of defective products? Because he owes Huawei, this just shows that the Soft Alliance is untrustworthy, and it is entirely possible that Huawei is dissatisfied with this, who wants to throw away the three or four billion yuan in his hand, and secretly peddle those products that are not visible, and sell them so cheaply, when will he be able to make up for the three or four billion yuan?

"Is this really a good opportunity given by God to himself?" Langdon asked himself, if this is the case, not only can he solve the current network security crisis, but he can even take advantage of this contradiction between Warwick and the soft alliance to provoke them to fight by themselves, and when the backyard is on fire, it will be much easier for him to deal with the soft alliance again!
