Chapter 192 Acceptance
Shen Danqing silently watched Hong Tao operate the computer, but he was thinking in his heart. Microsoft's operating system and application software have not yet played one-tenth of the computer's performance, and Changsheng Investment Group's technology is a waste. But this is Dell's computer, he can't manage so much, as long as Dell is satisfied, it's OK. So he immediately said to Hong Tao happily: "You step up the test, and if there is no bug, you will notify Dell for acceptance." Then he said to Hong Tao: "I'll go back to the company first, Director Hong, you are busy! Goodbye!" After saying that, he left without looking back. made Hong Tao and them inexplicable, and they didn't know where they didn't do a good job, which made the boss unhappy.
Why is Shen Danqing not very interested? It is not because the computer is too lo, but because he suddenly found that his company does not have an operating system, so it cannot produce its own brand of computers. So he felt very depressed, the computer was all made, but the software couldn't keep up. The software used on the computer, including the operating system, is a big project, and the soft news company doesn't have to think about it now, and their dozen or so people don't have anything to do at all. But the software can't just hire people, they don't know the Tang language dedicated to Changsheng Investment Group, and they have no way to start.
Some people might say that it is possible to use other computer languages. Yes, just change the BIOS settings. It's like Dell's computer.
But this is a serious violation of his original intention. He wanted to make a completely closed system, focusing on network security. In order to attract a group of high-income people to use their own company's system. So, even if he had to delay it for a few years to launch his own branded computer, he didn't hesitate to do so. If he wants to do it, he must do his best, and he will never help but get on the horse. Sometimes it's not like you're completely left behind when you enter a few years late. I don't believe you to take a look, how many of the early mobile phone manufacturers are still alive now?
Three days later, someone from Dell came to inspect it. This time, William led the team, because he was responsible for the formal signing of the OEM contract. Previously, Changsheng Investment Group did not even have a factory, and Dell only reached a preliminary written agreement with Changsheng Investment Group, and also signed a default clause.
Changsheng Investment Group is responsible for the reception of Li Xiang, as well as Lu Xiaodong of Dingtian Law Firm, who is responsible for the specific matters of the OEM contract, and Hong Tao of the Electronics Research Institute, who is responsible for technical explanation.
This time it was a more formal business negotiation, and the local media in Huizhou, I don't know where they heard the news, also came to join in the fun. Li Xiang, who was in charge of the whole, reported the situation to Shen Danqing. Shen Danqing agreed to their request for an interview, considering that Changsheng Investment Group no longer needed to hide anything.
So the picture became, in the huge foundry newly built by Changsheng Investment Group, on the wide factory road. Li Xiang accompanied William in front, followed closely by two translators. Hong Tao and Lu Xiaodong accompanied the acceptance personnel of Dell Company in the second echelon, Hong Tao and Lu Xiaodong both knew English and could easily talk to American guests. At the end, a group of reporters with long guns and short guns were followed, and from time to time they took a few photos and photographs, and the camera was not only aimed at the crowd in front of them, but sometimes the beautiful garden-like scenery of the factory was taken into the cameras and cameras.
Li Xiang took everyone to the finished product assembly workshop, and walked straight to the finished product testing production line behind. I saw that on the back testing table, there were ten beautiful-looking desktop computers neatly arranged. It's very beautiful, and it's completely different from the desktop computers on the market today. Instead of that ugly big-headed CRT display, it's an overly thin AMOLED display. The most important thing is that the shell material of Changsheng Investment Group is also better than the black plastic of ordinary electric computers, and they use engineering plastics with higher value and hardness comparable to steel, which can ensure that the computer is quite resistant to manufacturing. Even if you miss and fall to the ground, there is no problem. Although it is a computer for Dell, they still use Changsheng quality standards. So from the materials to the workmanship is very good, Dell's technical engineers can not find a single flaw.
Then they started the boot test. Since it was made according to the style of Dell's computer, they certainly knew how to operate the computer.
The next operation process is the same as what Hong Tao used to see Shen Danqing. Only when the computer is turned on, Dell's brand logo is very colorful, and the rest of the display is gray, no different from the picture displayed on a regular CRT monitor. Dell's technical engineers mainly test the smoothness of the software, and of course there is no problem. Because this computer is designed according to Microsoft's indos operating system, of course, it can ensure that the system and software run smoothly. And because the computer's running memory is much larger than Dell's previous computer capacity, the software runs more smoothly without the slightest lag delay. It's really to the point of point as a response.
After the whole inspection process was passed, the technical person in charge of Dell said to William, who was watching from the sidelines: "Mr. William, everything is OK, this Dell computer is very good, whether it is from the appearance, workmanship, materials, technology, it is impeccable." Therefore, the test score we arrive at is excellent. ”
"Very good, your tests, I saw them all on the side. I accept your professional evaluation. I also think it's a very good Dell computer. William said very formulaically.
William is also very happy with this computer, which is much better than the one that Dell is selling now. It has reached a point where it does not need to be explained, and it is the same in every way. But he still didn't know anything, so he asked Li Xiang on the side: "Mr. Li, why is the bright color picture only displayed when the computer is turned on?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! Mr. William, I'm not a professional technician, I don't know why. Li Xiang first showed that he didn't understand, and then he pointed to Hong Tao beside him and said to William: "Mr. William, this is the chief electronic engineer of our company. Let him explain the reason for you!"
There's a reason William asked. Because there is no color LCD screen computer in the world, William is very yearning for color AMOLED monitors, because he has seen the excellent color screen display of the boot screen, so he also thinks that this computer can display color pictures. In addition, he didn't understand the software, and he didn't know that Microsoft's operating system limited the color display effect, so he asked.
Hong Tao is a top student studying at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, so he can speak fluent American English. He didn't need a translator, he just said to William in pure American: "Mr. William, it's not that our computer can't display brilliant color images, it's that the operating system and application software don't support high-resolution color graphics, so that's what you see." ”
"Oh, damn it, that's a shame, so there's no way around it. We need an operating system and application software, otherwise we won't be able to sell this computer, no matter how good it is. William understood what Hong Tao meant, so he said with a look of pity.
At this time, Li Xiang took the opportunity to ask William: "Then Mr. William, are you satisfied with this computer that we have OEM for your Dell company?"
"I'm very satisfied, it's just amazing. There's no need to say anything more, Mr. Li, let's just sign a contract!" William replied very bluntly without detouring.
"Okay! Let's go to the conference room that has been prepared for the long time and sign the contract! We have everything ready there, just waiting for Mr. William to review the terms of the contract and sign it. Li Xiang said happily to William. Then he gestured to William with his right hand and said, "Mr. William, please!"
"Mr. Li, please lead the way. William also responded politely.
So the group walked towards the office building in the factory.
Within ten minutes, the two sides were seated opposite each other at the conference table. Now it was time for Lu Xiaodong to behave, and he smiled and said to the American guests led by William: "Mr. William, please consider the terms of the contract! The contract is divided into two forms, Chinese and English, in duplicate. Both parties maintain two contracts each. Then he pushed the contract that had been drawn up a long time ago to the American guest opposite.
The terms of the contract are long and detailed. It's the thickness of two dictionaries. In addition, there is a Chinese contract, so William and they have to carefully consider and discuss the contents of the contract clause by clause. Sometimes, they think that something is wrong, and they have to bargain with Li Xiang. By 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the terms of the contract had been reviewed for less than a few tenths. It seems that William and they are going to stay at Changsheng Investment Group for a few days.
This is not only an OEM contract, but also includes the price of computer parts, the price of electronic components, the price of various chips, the motherboard design authorization fee, the computer design authorization fee, and the technology licensing fee...... Wait a minute. So there are a lot of terms, and it will take several days for William to understand.
Li Xiang took a look at the wolf watch on his wrist, and said to William, who was still seriously discussing the terms of the contract with his colleagues: "Mr. William, it's lunchtime, and I can't finish my work for a while. Would you please come to the small cafeteria in our factory and have lunch and come back to work?"
When William heard Li Xiang's words, he also looked at his watch and found that it was really lunchtime. He happily said to Li Xiang: "Great, I can eat authentic Chinese food again." ”
Then he clapped his palms and said to his colleagues, "Gentlemen, let's go to lunch and come back to work! Haha!"
