Chapter 12 Negotiation (1)

Mark. Ford's spirit was a little sluggish, he didn't sleep well all night, and finally waited until the next morning, and after having breakfast in a hurry, he rushed to the school to block the principal Lin Yundong, and opened his mouth to find Wei Ting, but he never mentioned anything, just said that he wanted to discuss some computer software problems with Wei Ting.

That's right, that's the word he used.

Originally, Lin Yundong would not casually hand over the student's address to others, but he couldn't stand that the other party was a foreign friend, and promised that this service would not only cost no money, but also provide free software upgrades within three years, so President Lin University sold Wei Ting once...... However, it is not outrageous, Lin Yundong did not give Wei Ting's home address directly to Mark. Ford, instead asked the computer teacher Zheng Ruping to take him over, and also specifically instructed to find out Mark. What the hell is Ford going to do with Wetting.

In fact, Wei Ting didn't want to make a big deal about it, the purpose was not to keep it secret, but she didn't want to have things like executive orders, so when Zheng Ruping asked her quietly, Wei Ting only explained that there were some questions about the software to be sorted out, and she didn't say much else, and with Zheng Ruping's English level, I am afraid it would be difficult to understand the content of the negotiation between them.

"Miss Wei, the program patch you gave me has been tested by our company, and it is completely correct." Mark. When Ford said this, the expression on his face was a little bitter.

"Oh, that's what I expected." Wei Ting said.

"Mr. Gates, the chairman of our company, appreciates Mr. Lin's talent very much, and he specially asked people to call me and ask me to thank you."

"It's just a deal." Wei Ting replied lightly that she heard Mark. Ford has made so much foreshadowing, knowing that there must be something inconvenient to say later. In this matter, she is not in a hurry at all, just waiting to see how the Americans perform.

"Miss Wei, Mr. Gates said that the company is willing to pay for the remaining patches in your hands, but the specific price still needs to be heard from you."

"I'm not demanding. My program can save you market share and reputational losses, and you can pay me 10% of the discount for those losses. You earn the big head, I earn the small head, how? ”

Mark. Ford only felt his heart sink: the negotiation skills displayed by the girl in front of her were completely beyond her age, and her demands were decent, and they were justified wherever they were used.

"Miss Wei, according to your estimate, what should be the loss of our company? How much is 10% you said? "Mark. After Ford asked, he thought he had a plan, and he was a little proud.

"Mr. Ford, you're not sincere enough."

Wei Ting's expression was indifferent, "Do you think I will have your company's financial statements?" But despite this, do you think I wouldn't know the general scope of your company's related revenue? You're really disappointing me when you're selling these tricks with me as a kid. ”

Mark. Ford's old face flushed: "Yes, Miss Wei, it's my question that is too abrupt." However, this is too large a number, and I would like you to come up with a specific number. ”

Wei Ting looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Ford, your sincerity is not enough." However, since I made the offer, it would be $1 million, and this was the first time we had worked together. ”

"Impossible!"

Mark. Ford blurted out, startling Zheng Ruping next to him, thinking that this foreigner was going to break out and hurt people, so he clenched his fists nervously.

I found myself a little out of sorts, Mark. Ford smiled apologetically, and then said, "Miss Wei, to tell you the truth, I received a call from the head office this morning, and the head office meant...... It can only be $1,000, and the gap between the $1 million you ask for and the figure given by the boss is too big. ”

"Gaps are not a problem."

Wei Ting smiled: "Mr. Ford, I want to know the reason for this bid?" ”

It must be said that the Americans of this era are quite simple, at least the heart and eyes are not so smart, hesitated for a moment, Mark. Ford said the words of the company's boss almost meticulously: "Miss Wei, $1,000 is a lot of money for a junior high school student, and based on China's living standards and average income, $1,000 can be exchanged for nearly 10,000 yuan, and ordinary workers may not be able to earn so much money in a year." ”

Wei Ting smiled: "You are right, $1,000 is indeed a huge amount of money for me." ”

Mark. Ford's mood suddenly relaxed, but before he could speak, Wei Ting continued: "I want to ask, do Americans do business according to the age of the trader? Or are the salespeople in the mall all gray-haired old people? ”

"Miss Wei, please don't get me wrong......" Mark. Ford was a pure software engineer, and negotiation really wasn't what he was good at, especially with this kind of obviously deceptive nature.

Wei Ting's face was not very good-looking, and he still interrupted him unceremoniously: "Mr. Ford, in terms of age, we are not equal, but in terms of transactions, we are completely equal...... No, I even have a slight advantage. I'm sure if your competitors and partners knew about this before you did, you'd lose more than $1 million. ”

Mark. Ford immediately became anxious: "Miss Wei, don't be impulsive, we can talk about it again." ”

"We can talk."

Wei Ting nodded: "Mr. Ford, you probably don't know, we are preparing for the high school entrance examination now, there is no time to delay, 1 million is my last offer, you only have one day to think about it." Otherwise, I'll publish the vulnerability tomorrow in PC magazine. ”

"Okay, Miss Wei, I'll go make a long-distance call right now and tell you the truth." Mark. Ford was a little frustrated.

"Alright, I'll wait for your news."

Wei Ting turned to Zheng Ruping and said, "Mr. Zheng, there is a public phone downstairs, please take Mr. Ford to make a public phone, it is inconvenient for me to lead the way." ”

"Yes."

Zheng Ruping nodded subconsciously, although she couldn't fully understand the conversation between the two, she could feel that they were negotiating a huge amount, and it should be Wei Ting dominating the situation...... It's incredible.

Mark. When Ford's phone call came, it was already past 10 p.m. in the United States, but Chairman Gates had not yet returned home, and he led a group of people from the board of directors who were waiting for a call from China. In this way, the two sides of the ocean held a teleconference from a distance of thousands of miles.
