Chapter 167: The Slow Giant
"IBN's sales assistant wants to see us?"
Li Jian followed Tang Yang to the direction of IBN's booth, I heard that IBN was invited, Li Jian was very happy, anyway, in the two worlds, IBN is an unsurmountable transcendent thing in the electronics industry, and being able to negotiate with IBN on an equal footing is an experience worth showing off for any practitioner in the computer industry.
It's just that I heard that he was just an assistant in the sales department, not the expected Charlie, Li Jian was still a little disappointed, Qianghua is still too weak, and he has no status in the world at all, and it is normal for IBN to pay no attention to Qianghua.
"Yes, just now, your movement in COMPOQ attracted their attention, this sales assistant named Reds came to inquire about the news, and knew that Qianghua was making an operating system, so he contacted us, if the deal is negotiated, one dollar."
Tang Yang stretched out a finger, don't look at a set is only one dollar, if you follow the sales volume of IBN, it will be a million dollars a year.
The million-dollar business is enough for Tang Yang and his Sunshine Trade to do his best for this.
"Okay, a dollar is no problem, the key is that you need to do your best to take IBN down Mr. Tang, otherwise, like COMPOQ, it is completely negotiated by us Qianghua itself, so this dollar, Sunshine has no share."
Li Jian looked at Tang Yang and deliberately angered him, Tang Yang frowned,
"It's not okay, I didn't do it directly, but if it wasn't for me. You can't meet that nasty John at all, can you, Anil. ”
Anil smiled and watched Li Jian and Tang Yang arguing here over a dollar. She felt that these two people didn't really care too much about the profit of this dollar, such as Tang Yang, he just liked this feeling of making money, as if making money was creating wealth, and Li Jian deliberately said this in order to stimulate Tang Yang.
Million dollar business. Two people, they don't even care, these two people. It's really far-sighted.
Talking and laughing, when I arrived at the IBN booth, a big man with golden curly hair walked over,
"Hello. Tang Dynasty. ”
"Hello. Redes, this is Mr. Li Jian, the chairman of Qianghua Technology, I think, you should find a good place to sit down and talk. ”
Tang Yang raised his eyebrows, although Li Jian jokingly asked him to come forward to talk, but everyone knows that Tang Yang does not know much about software, and his negotiation is not as good as the results achieved by Li Jian's factory.
"Hello. Mr. Redes. ”
"Hello, Chairman Li Jian. I thought, we should really find a good place to sit down and talk, you see, most of the guests are flocking to COMPOQ, so we have a lot of seats on our side, and we can sit down and talk about how you use the magic of the East to get most of the guests together. ”
Redes showed his kindness in a unique way, by sticking out his tongue and pretending to be a clown.
"What you want to know is exactly what we want to work with IBN, this is our operating system, if you don't mind, can I run it on your latest SUPERtwo?"
Li Jian pointed to IBN's latest personal computer SUPERTWO and said, Reds immediately nodded, he was not surprised that Li Jian was so familiar with their computers, IBN has always been the object of others to catch up and imitate in the industry, the chairman of Qianghua Technology from China can be so familiar with his company's products, Reds is not surprised at all.
Li Jian took out a thick stack of floppy disks as he did at the COMPOQ just now, and inserted them into the five-inch optical drive one by one, and Reds looked at Li Jian's operation with interest, anyway, the few remaining people in the entire booth were received by staff, and he did not need to come forward, an assistant minister who belonged to middle managers, just see what kind of surprise this Chinese could give him.
"Oh, it's kind of interesting, it's almost the same as Apple's interface, no, it's completely more than the best operating system at the moment, and that's the best operating system."
After seeing Li Jian's successful installation, Reds stood up from the chair with some excitement, and the secretary who was familiar with him knew that this was a manifestation of Reddes's high spirits, and whenever this time came, Reds must have some good idea.
"Dear Li, I think that if you cooperate with IBN, your operating system will definitely sell at a good price, and the soft and micro company can escape from IBN's territory."
"We're really looking forward to working with IBN, and that's just the beginning, the real dish hasn't started yet."
The operating system is just an appetizer that Li Jian uses to open the way, and it is an appetizer that is given away for free without charging money, the real big dish refers to the follow-up application software, and the effect just obtained in COMPOQ makes Li Jian more aware of the attraction of these software.
This era is the best of times.
"Oh my God, what is this? Countless tables, this is a digital processing software? ”
Seeing the table software operated by Li Jian, and entering numbers in the tables one by one, Redes became even more excited, he himself is the assistant minister of the computer sales department, and he knows more about the market than the high-ranking minister and sales director.
Among the voices that come back from time to time among customers, the voice that needs this kind of software is the strongest one.
Scale, simplification, and repetitive simple digital processing are precisely the most difficult problems for these users who buy personal computers, so salespeople like Reds who can keenly grasp the pulse of the market can see the market demand for this software at first glance.
Although the interface of this software still looks a little imperfect, some functions may need to be added, but at least the emergence of this kind of software has been able to meet the needs of the vast majority of users.
"There is, what is this, word processing software, oh my Lee, are you an angel sent by God to save us, you know, I'm about to be driven crazy by these customers, they think, personal computers are such an advanced thing, since they can type, why can't they do word processing, with your software, not only can they make changes to the layout of the text on the computer screen, but they don't need other additional equipment, they can follow the printer necklace, and then print the text on paper."
Redes felt like he had taken a stimulant this morning, and his mouth had never been closed, because he wanted to speak, but now he was surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and these people from China brought magic tricks.
"Oh, what's wrong with Mr. Redes, he seems to have turned into a mania."
"No, Mr. Redders is excited, he is so excited every time he has to complete a big deal."
Several female sales staff who didn't know much about Reds were a little hard to believe when they looked at Reds's excited appearance, this was the assistant to the sales department who usually looked like he was above the top.
"Mr. Reds, these are office applications, and I have two gadgets for leisure."
Li Jian took out the game's floppy disk from another handbag, and he first installed Blackjack, which is more attractive to Europeans and Americans, because of the problem of computer configuration in this era, all the software is very small, so the picture is very rough.
But because supertwo uses a 14-inch color display, although it can only display a simple 32 colors, the playing cards with a color background look much more real than the almost identical gray playing cards on the COMPOQ LCD monitor.
"Oh, how can this be a gadget, I think, this is what my clients need, they usually work so hard, when they are leisure, wouldn't it be a good idea to use this thing to pass the time, but, isn't it, you can let a few people play together?"
Redes blinked and gestured with a big dollar sign, but seeing that Li Jian didn't understand it at the first time, he added,
"We can play this game together with several computers and charge a certain fee, what do you think?"
Li Jian smiled, this Redes turned out to be an out-and-out gambler, but it is precisely people with this kind of gambler nature that are more likely to succeed.
Once they have an idea, they will put it all in, and those who think too much often lose the opportunity, and they should take advantage of Reds's character better.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Reds, I think this is technically quite up to the mark, but we're still talking about work, aren't we, this game, I think you must like it."
Li Jian put the snake on the supertwo again, and began to control the green snake on the screen in the black wall, chasing those red flashing dots.
"Good thing, I think, we have room for cooperation, do you have any relevant information? If the operating system is provided by you to IBN, how much will it cost, what is the price of these software, and how will it be upgraded and maintained in the future? ”
Redes is really an expert in sales, and when he came up, he asked the most concerned question as a consumer, price, Li Jian took out the materials that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed them to Reds, Reds looked at it roughly, and stood up with interest,
"You sit down for a while, I'll report to our sales director, such a big matter, I'm afraid it's more appropriate for our director Charried to talk to you."
After speaking, Reds turned around and went to the management center of the exhibition, where is the VIP rest area provided by the exhibition, Mr. Chared, the sales director of IBN, was enjoying the coffee in the VIP rest area accompanied by the beautiful secretary at this moment.
Ten minutes later, Li Jian watched Redders stride back, the expression on his face seemed to be a little angry, and he sensed that something was wrong, could it be that the result of Redders's request for instructions was not satisfactory? (To be continued......)
