Ford stayed in the room, and finally looked forward to work time, he hurried to the workshop, and intercepted Lin Zhenhua at the door of the workshop: "Lin, Lin, I have something to talk to you about." ”

"It's time to go to work, and there are trained workers waiting for us." Lin Zhenhua pretended to be embarrassed.

"No, no, it doesn't matter, you let each of them mill two spline shafts first to familiarize themselves with the surname of the machine tool, and we will take this time to talk about it."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Lin Zhenhua entered the workshop to arrange it, and then walked out. Ford pulled him aside under the shade of a tree and whispered, "Mr. Lin, the program patch you gave me has been tested by our company, and it is completely correct." ”

"Oh, that's what I expected." Lin Zhenhua said.

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

"Well, that's what I'm supposed to do." Lin Zhenhua replied lightly, he heard Ford make so much foreshadowing, and knew that there must be something inconvenient to say later. In this matter, he is not in a hurry at all, just waiting to see how the Americans perform.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Wilson said that the company is willing to pay for the remaining patches in your hands, but the specific price still needs to be heard by you."

"I'm not demanding. My procedure will help you recover the financial and reputational damage, and you can pay me 10% of the discount on these losses. You earn the big head, I earn the small head, how? ”

Ford only felt that his heart sank: the young man in front of him was not a rookie at all, and his requirements were decent, and no matter where he got it, it was all reasonable.

"Mr. Lin, according to your estimate, what should be the loss of our company? You said 10%, that's about how much it is. ”

"Your MK800 currently sells about 1,000 units, and the selling price of each unit is $13,000 based on the price sold to China, for a total of $13 million. Without my patches, all of these devices would need to be recalled, and your losses should be the same number, right? For the sake of friendliness, shipping and labor costs, I will not count them. ”

"Probably...... Not so much. Ford said with a smile on his face, "Actually, we don't sell that much." In addition, all machines do not necessarily need to be recalled, so ......"

"As far as I know, your company is also preparing to launch several other CNC machine tools, including a five-axis linkage machine tool, and the development cost alone has invested more than 8 million. If the news about the bug in the MK800 spreads, will you still be able to sell these machines? Don't tell me that you don't know that I'm competing with you for the machine tool market. ”

Ford was completely defeated: "Mr. Lin, you are simply terrible. Our five-axis linkage machine tool is still under development, and you even know the development costs we have invested. I think that since you know Spischer so well, you should also know that our company is in serious financial difficulties, and I don't think the company can afford it if you overprice. ”

This is already very straightforward, which means that the price you offer is indeed reasonable, but we can't afford it, so you can do it. Poor Wilson still thought that he could threaten Lin Zhenhua, but he didn't know that it was his Spischer company who really needed to beg for mercy.

"I'm not going to open my mouth wide, so let's give you another discount, you give me a million, I will not only give you a few patches, but also give you an upgraded version of a control program, which will increase the production efficiency of the MK800 by more than 50%." Lin Zhenhua said generously.

"Let's be honest, Mr. Lin, our deputy general manager called me this morning, and he said that the boss meant that he could only pay 2,000 US dollars, and the gap between the one million you asked for and the number given by the boss is really too big." Ford had to tell the truth, in terms of playing with the heart, the Americans are really not the opponent of the Chinese. In those years, in the economic and trade cooperation between China and the United States, Chinese also suffered a lot, but that was only because of a lack of understanding of the market economy. Replacing Lin Zhenhua, who has experienced a market economy, is really unreasonable to lose to the Americans.

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "I can understand your boss's thoughts." In his eyes, the Chinese have never seen money at all, and having two thousand dollars is enough for me personally to achieve four modernizations ahead of schedule, so he decided that I would definitely accept it, didn't I? ”

"Exactly."

"Mr. Ford, then please tell your boss what I mean, I am very poor, but I have seen no less money than he has. If he doesn't want to pay for my program, I can sell it to the company. Spending $2 million to buy a competitor's fatal handle is very cost-effective for Yue himself. ”

"Okay, I'm going to make a long-distance call right now and tell me what you said." Ford replied in frustration, "This side of the shop...... Forget it, Lin, I'll leave it to you, I know now that your understanding of the MK800 is far above mine. You don't need to be a translator for me, you can just be a trainer for everyone. ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Mr. Ford, you are wrong, the same sentence coming out of your mouth is completely different from the amount coming out of my mouth." I can tell you now, in fact, in these days of training, there are a few things that you said wrong, and I have corrected them for you when I was translating, but everyone believes that that is your original intention. ”

"Lin, you're too smart, I don't want to be a competitor to you in the future." Ford sighed.

Lin Zhenhua shrugged: "Mr. Ford, we will always be friends." However, please believe that within 30 years, the Chinese will definitely go to the United States to compete with you, the world cannot always be a single giant, competition will be better, right? ”

"I didn't believe it in the past, but now I believe that maybe in less than 30 years, Chinese goods will crush the Americans, and then the entire American market will be flooded with made_in_China, just like today's made."

"You ......" Lin Zhenhua stopped talking, he almost wanted to ask: You won't also cross over, right? Do you know the legendary "Made in China"?

Ford ran to the post and telecommunications office, the salesman of the post and telecommunications bureau was still the same woman yesterday, when she saw Ford, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, and she quickly took out a long phone bill for him to fill in. Ford sighed while filling out the list: The realm of this person and people is really too different. Looking at this simple Chinese woman's surname, I only gave her $10, and she was happy to be like this. And the insatiable Lin Zhenhua actually has a mouth of 1 million US dollars, I sell cakes, he actually said that he can't open his mouth widely, his mouth is as big as an African hippopotamus.

When Ford called, it was already past 9 p.m. Eastern time, but Chairman Wilson had not yet returned home, and he and a group of members of the board of directors were waiting for a call from China. In the end, Ford succeeded in convincing the bigwigs in the United States that China, a young man who could write a patch, could not be dealt with for a mere $2,000.

After obtaining the approval of the board of directors, Wilson solemnly authorized Ford that he could negotiate with Lin Zhenhua within the range of $500,000, and if it exceeded this range, then Lin Zhenhua had to communicate with Wilson himself. In order to mobilize Ford's positive surname, Wilson also put a heavy reward, in the range of 500,000, how much money can Ford can reduce, one-tenth of which can be used as Ford's bonus.

500,000, half of Lin Zhenhua's requirements, can Lin Zhenhua accept it? With a drum in his heart, Ford walked out of the post office and ran to the workshop. In the past two days, he has come and gone at a trotting speed, and his body has been exercising quite well.
