Chapter 13 Negotiation (2)
"Is that Chinese girl a rookie? How is it possible to get an ultimatum as soon as negotiations are initiated? "Sales Manager Paul. Swell was a little angry.
Mark. Ford could only smile bitterly: "Mr. Swell, she is only sixteen years old, as you said, she is a rookie, and once a child of this age recognizes something, she will make some ...... I mean, they don't care about the consequences. ”
This is a threat from Chiguoguo!
The people who can make it to the board of directors of Microsoft are definitely the elite of the elite, but the negotiating opponent they meet is an opponent who does not follow the rules. It would have been normal times, but now there are competitors everywhere and it coincides with a major collaboration project...... In a word, they need time, and the opponent just doesn't give them time.
"Mark, talk about it again, for every 100,000 you talk about, I'll give you a $2,000 bonus." The Board reached a consensus.
Can you talk about it?
I don't know why, Mark. Ford is not very confident in this.
However, out of the way of Mark. Ford's surprise was that after much discussion, Wei Ting finally agreed to lower the price, and the total amount of the price asked was limited to $600,000 (after tax). But in addition to that, she asked for a desktop computer, a T3200SXC laptop that had just been introduced in '91, a scanner, a color inkjet printer, a burner and a blank CD, a full-featured chip writer, and some books on electronics, which were not in Zero's database. Wei Ting has not worked in hardware for many years, and some knowledge needs to be reviewed.
"Wei Ting, what are you doing here?" Look at Mark. Ford was busy recording his spare time, Zheng Ruping couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice.
"A small deal."
Wei Ting smiled: "I helped Mr. Ford solve a small program, he thanked me very much, and was ready to send me a bonus." ”
"Oh." Zheng Ruping nodded, she could understand a limited number of words, although she didn't know the specific amount of 'bonus', but she was also a little envious...... Even if it was only $100, it was far more than her salary.
Mark. After Ford finished remembering Wei Ting's request, he took Zheng Ruping to trot down to call, and this time Microsoft did not procrastinate, because Wei Ting had already refused to make any necessary move - if the negotiations could not be reached, then the negotiations would be ended. Although there was a feeling of being blackmailed, the company's board of directors agreed to the deal.
Mark is back again. Ford seems to be much more relaxed, and since the total price has been negotiated, it is necessary to talk about the details.
"Mr. Ford, I'll open a bank account at once, please get the money transferred within three days, oh, and the contract, no problem?" Wei Ting asked.
"No problem. However, can you sign a contract at your current age? "Mark. Ford asked.
"You can't have legal personality until you're eighteen, but when you're sixteen, you can still sign this kind of contract." Wei Ting said.
In fact, there is some ambiguity about this. At the age of 16, if you live independently and have your own income, then the contract is valid. But if there is a guardian, the contract is not protected by law. However, there is no such problem in the transaction between them, and Wei Ting is not worried about any text traps in the contract.
"That's good. So now let's go to the bank to open an account, and then I will notify the head office of the account number, what do you think? "Mark. Ford seems to be in a more anxious hurry than Witing.
"Absolutely." Wei Ting hurriedly found out the ID card that had just been completed this year.
After the three of them went out, Mark. Ford took a car, and the group first went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to open an account in Wei Ting's name. After Ford wrote down the account, he wanted to send Wei Ting home, Wei Ting politely refused, this is a commercial street, and there are many shops selling electronic products, she is going to take a look at electronic products first.
Although it is only the early nineties, it has been more than ten years since the reform and opening up, and foreign electronic products have ...... Japanese products, in particular, fill the streets and alleys. However, all this is absolutely different from 20 years later. Not to mention computer software, even if it is computer hardware products and some other electronic products, just take out one of them, and you can make a windfall in this era. If only the memory in her head was used, Wei Ting would have dared to engage in creativity and software programming, but she has a huge database stored in a biological computer and found that there are really many things that can be done......
After Zheng Ruping got out of the taxi, she was still a little in a trance, and she didn't even pay attention to the doorman's greeting, and she didn't feel a little sober until she came to the principal's office.
"Xiao Zheng, what's the matter with that Ford looking for Wei Ting?" Lin Yundong asked.
It's not the headmaster's gossip, it's really amazing.
"Negotiation." Zheng Ruping replied.
"Negotiations?! And a junior high school student?! ”
Rao is Lin Yundong no matter how calm he is, he can't help but be surprised, his face is incredible.
"Wei Ting seems to have written a program, and Microsoft needs this level, and they made a deal about it......" Zheng Ruping simply recounted what she knew...... Some of it is made up by the brain, at least for a few thousand dollars, I will never go to the bank to open an account.
"One program can sell for so much money?! Our school doesn't offer this course, right? Lin Yundong was surprised.
"She should have taught herself."
Zheng Ruping paused and said, "Principal Lin, because I went with Mr. Ford, Wei Ting hopes that this matter will not be spread. ”
"Of course, that's of course, she's a student at our school after all, and we have a responsibility to protect her. Mr. Zheng, you said that we want to open a programming course, what do you say? Lin Yundong's mind began to run wild.
"Ahem!"
Zheng Ruping was a little depressed, this thing is just a beginner for herself, how can she teach others?
But the words couldn't be said so bluntly, after a dry cough, Zheng Ruping said carefully: "Principal, our school has introduced computer teaching in junior high school, so that students are familiar with computers, which is quite rare in Huizhou City. The high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination are very stressful for students, and this kind of professional nature of the church is still ......"
"Yes, yes, yes, you can't put the cart before the horse!"
Lin Yundong didn't feel disappointed, and he objected to Zheng Ruping's words and thought it was true, "This matter is over here, don't spread it, so as not to cause trouble to Wei Ting." ”
"I understand." Zheng Ruping nodded.
