"Hi ladies and gentlemen, I'm Benjamin Frank, Marketing Manager at Cisco, and I'm a pleasure to serve you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A smiling man introduces himself inside a building with a network signal strip sign as a symbol and a beige building and blue glass behind the Cisco systems logo.

"Hello, Mr. Frank. Zhao Lingling shook hands with him, "It seems very abrupt to come to your company suddenly, it is a great honor for you to receive us." ”

"You two can trust Cisco so much, which means that our company has been recognized by you. ”

"If you claim to be the number one network system expert in the world, the second role will be hard to find. ”

After each of them said some flattering words, they turned the topic to the focus this time, the network router.

"I don't know what type you need? We have a lot of routers, and different categories have different specialties, so let me introduce them to you. ”

Frank led the two ladies around the room. This room is a corporate display platform, and various types of routers have a prototype in a glass case.

"This is the Cisco SB 100 Series. It's the brand of choice for small businesses, and our included Cisco IOS software is manageable and reliable, it can statefully detect firewall applications, be configured as asymmetric ADSL or an Ethernet WAN interface with a 4-port 10/100 switch. ”

"This is the Cisco SOHO Series, which features 3DES software encryption on top of the former, with dual Ethernet ADSL capabilities. ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Frank to interrupt your introduction, but our company wants to use a wireless network router system, and those small and medium-sized enterprise brand series don't seem to be very applicable, can you introduce these to us?"

"Absolutely. Frank was still smiling. "I don't know what type of system your company is, but I can tailor it for you. ”

"It is a comprehensive network communication and publishing system. ”

"Oh, it looks like you've created a big website, can you tell us more about it? Maybe I'll be interested too. ”

"Well, I'm sorry. Because we don't even have a network engineer hired right now, let alone web design and operations, it's just an idea for us right now. ”

"It's too humble. So I would like to ask, how many people are expected to visit your web integrated platform system?"

Su Yishui wondered, does this problem have anything to do with his online platform?

"That's the case, if to your web page including browsing, shopping, etc. If the network traffic is not enough and the bandwidth is small, it is very likely that the page 404 will not be displayed, so if you want to use the million-dollar level, we recommend the Cisco 2800 series, because this series has built-in dual Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports with up to 56 power-powered switch ports. For tens of millions of visits, we recommend the Cisco 3800 Series, which supports up to 96 power-capable 10/100 switch ports, supports more than 90 existing and new modules, and supports dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. And a set of systems down. About 40 switches are needed to meet the requirements of daily access, browsing, shopping, etc. ”

"40 units... Zhao Lingling took a sharp breath, "What is the price of one of your switches?"

"It's about $2,500, and of course, if you buy a lot at once, we can get a 20% discount and a big package. These are all treatments that can only be enjoyed by customers of our head office. ”

"$2,500, 40 units is $100,000. OMG! That's a lot of money, and I can't afford to hurt it. Su Yishui whispered in his heart.

Although it is really sad that network engineers and software engineers have to put in so much money before they can create a web page. However, when reminiscing about the events of his past life, Su Yishui thought of Mushroom Street, the same online sharing shopping platform online forum. With more than a million registered users in just over a year, she couldn't be at peace anymore.

"It's just a $100,000 upfront cost, and it's worth it if it's spent. ”

Zhao Lingling cast an inquiring gaze, and Su Yishui nodded firmly. So be it.

"Yes, Mr. Frank. We decided to purchase 40 switches. ”

"Amir, please come in. Bring in a copy of the purchase contract. Frank nodded in satisfaction, picked up the microphone on his desk, and dialed an intercom call.

A few seconds later, the office door opened, and a brunette woman was holding a folder, she smiled at Su Yishui and Zhao Lingling when she came in, spread the folder flat on the table, and stood aside.

"Two ladies, please come here for a moment. ”

Zhao Lingling walked over, quickly glanced up and down the purchase contract, and after confirming that the number was correct, she signed her name. After Frank waited for her to sign, he stamped the company's seal, filled in the number and specification columns, and handed Zhao Lingling a copy of the contract in duplicate.

"If there is a problem with our goods, we can mail the warranty list attached to the purchase order to our company, and the company is responsible for returning it free of charge. Each switch has a list, please take a closer look. Amir, quickly bring someone to the warehouse to ask for forty 3800 series switches, and bring them here. ”

"Yes, manager. The brunette girl walked out.

"So, when are you going to pay?" Frank asked.

"After inspecting the goods, the payment is made. Mr. Manager, is it true that you just said a 20% discount and a gift package?"

Frank laughed. "Of course, we will give away four exchange cabinets, and we will be responsible for free shipping throughout the process. Presumably, it would be inconvenient to carry forty metal boxes with you, and we will take care of the problem. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing. ”

"We've always been like this with our big customers. ”

"In that case, we want to entrust your company with a business, I wonder if we can take it?"

"What is it?" Frank's eyes lit up.

"That's right. As we have just said, the company intends to run a web platform system, but we have a shortage of network engineers and software engineers. ”

"Understood. You want to entrust us with the design and production of the website, right? ”

"Hmm. Zhao Lingling nodded.

"That's fine, and you can rest assured that we'll keep trade secrets. Where will your servers be located?"

"City of S in Province A, China. ”

"In China, you will have to pay for food and accommodation. ”

"Yes, but your company needs to have a staff member from the external office to monitor the network system at any time and troubleshoot any problems. ”

"The fee needs to be paid separately. The monthly salary of a network engineer in our foreign offices is generally $2,500 to $5,000. ”

"This... "Su Yishui thinks it's a little expensive. In addition to the cost of food and housing, they have to pay so much monthly salary, and if there is a problem with the Internet, they may use their abilities, but how many times can they have such an opportunity?

Therefore, for this kind of price, which is similar to the lion's big mouth, Su Yishui decisively refused. It's not that there are no relevant talents in the country, and it doesn't take much effort to train one yourself, so why bother to take so much money for a gringo.

At this time, Cisco staff pushed a cart and sent in forty switches. There are ten switches on a cart, and after all the cartons are disassembled, the warranty form is filled out and stamped, and the warranty agreement is officially effective, supervising the workers to repack it and wrap it with tape and sponge pads After wrapping it tightly, Su Yishui and Zhao Lingling put their minds at ease, left a detailed delivery address, and paid $80,000 in cash, which completed Cisco's business. Another thing about website design production, as there is no clear and specific plan yet. It's hard to say the start date at this point. They just took Frank and Cisco's front desk phone and left.

Walk back to the airport and take a small plane back to West Palm City, by which time it is already five o'clock in the afternoon. The glorious summer sun shines in the west with an orange glow, which is particularly charming.

"Whew... It's really exhausting. After returning to the hotel, Su Yishui complained more than once, and after taking a shower in the bathroom, he went to the hotel lobby with his sister and other beauties to eat.

"Wow, the general manager and Yi Shui are back, have you done your business today?" Zhao Yiyi picked up a skewer of Islamic barbecue. Just as he was about to start, he saw Zhao Lingling and Su Yishui side by side, and hurriedly asked.

"You guy, you know how to eat. It's mine. Zhao Lingling snatched it from her hand unceremoniously.

"General Manager, you. Grab something to eat with the child... Forget it, don't care. She pouted and picked up another string.

"Of course it worked out perfectly. Su Yishui swallowed the fried pork slices in his mouth, and after taking a sip of orange juice, he said, "Forty switches, all of which have been shipped to China." ”

"Forty units?" Yu Xi took a breath, "This is catching up with the number of small and medium-sized portals, Yishui, do you and the general manager want to make a website? Hey, can you tell us a little bit without hiding it, no, it's okay to reveal a little bit?"

"Don't talk about this today, when you return home, you will naturally know, we do this, it will also make you little ones who have nothing to do for a day have a good home, network operation requires a lot of manpower, at that time, you have to play your own light and heat. Zhao Lingling said very seriously.

"It's not that we don't agree with making a website, we just want to know, will this disperse S&S's current capital flow?" asked Li Zhiyou.

"It's just a website, it's a communication platform, a recommendation platform and a shopping platform, and we will use a VIP membership fee system, so you don't have to worry about losing money, maybe it will bring a lot of profits." ”

"That's great. When the girls heard the good news, they were all eager to try it.

"You don't have to worry, I'll definitely let you run the business, and besides, I have one more thing to explain to you. Su Yishui put down the knife and fork in his hand and stared at the girls.

"After the official launch of the website, one of them will be based in the United States, and now, you can decide who you want. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
