Ford tried his best to finally get Lin Zhenhua to lower the price and control the total amount of the price within $500,000. In fact, Lin Zhenhua didn't intend to get too stiff with Spischer, such as making the bug public or selling it to Xihu Company, it was just Lin Zhenhua's negotiation skills. Lin Zhenhua will have to mix in the mechanical circle in the future, and he can't do things so desperately.

The total price is roughly agreed, and the next step is to talk about the details of payment. Lin Zhenhua was confident and talked eloquently, and Ford held a small notebook and recorded Lin Zhenhua's requirements one by one.

"I want $200,000 in cash, but, given the current situation in China, help me keep it in a Swiss bank for the time being."

"Absolutely."

"I need $20,000 in small commodities, please ask your Hong Kong business department to purchase in Hong Kong on my behalf, and then help me ship them to the mainland through your channels, and I will pick up the goods in Guangzhou. I will inform you of the details separately. After the $20,000 is used up, if you want to trouble your company to continue to purchase goods for me, I will pay the full amount. ”

"We're more than willing to help."

"My factory, which is Hanhua Machinery Factory in Jiangnan Province, hopes to get an MK800 machine tool, and I want to buy one from your company at the expense I deserve, and then give it to our factory in the name of your company. When donating the machine tool, I hope that your company can recognize Hanhua Machinery Factory as your partner in China. ”

"There is no problem with the gift of machine tools, and I need to ask the company's headquarters to confirm the partner, but I believe that there is no problem, and we are very willing to establish a cooperative relationship with Mr. Lin's company."

"And ...... I would like to be able to get some research equipment and materials from within the United States. I would like to ask you to purchase a batch of Z80 chips for me, as well as two IBMPC computers. ”

"There is no problem with the Z80 chip, but the computer side is ...... I'm very sorry, Mr. Lin, I didn't know that IBM had such a computer model as a PC......"

"Well, a PC is a personal computer, haven't you heard of it?" Lin Zhenhua was a little embarrassed, he couldn't remember when IBM launched the PC, could it be that there was no PC at this time? So what about Microsoft, is the famous DOS not yet written?

Lin Zhenhua was a little tempted for a while, perhaps, plagiarizing the DOS system and then selling it to IBM is also a good opportunity to make money, right? Lin Zhenhua clearly remembers that Gates signed an agreement with IBM back then, agreeing that he would pay one or two dollars for the use of the DoS system pre-installed on each ibm_pc machine, and as a result, he made a fortune with this amount alone. Plagiarism dos? Lin Zhenhua shook his head vigorously and squeezed this nonsensical idea out of his mind...... Is this something that can be written while sitting in a guest house with a pencil? This requires you to be proficient in 8088 compilation, understand all the interruptions, and have genius programming skills, all of which, I'm very sorry, Lin Zhenhua doesn't. All Lin Zhenhua needs is a computer for his own use.

"Sorry, maybe I'm mistaken? What kind of personal computers are available in the U.S. today? Lin Zhenhua asked.

Ford said: "Maybe I've been abroad for too long, I just know that the most popular personal computer in the United States is Apple's Apple-II, do you think this model is suitable?" ”

The legendary Apple-II, the miracle of the IT industry in the 70s, is 10 years older than Lin Zhenhua in later generations, Lin Zhenhua has only seen her in nostalgic pictures on the Internet, what does the real Apple-II look like, Lin Zhenhua really doesn't know.

"Apple-II is also available, do you know the price of this machine?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"It's about $1,300, and there's a high-configuration one, maybe more than $2,000."

"I need two, the cost is ......"

"There is no problem, our company can take it all."

"Then thank you, Mr. Wilson, for I don't think his kindness will go unrewarded."

"Yes, Mr. Wilson is very much looking forward to forming a long-term cooperation with Mr. Lin."

"I also need some professional books on mechanics and electronics, as well as the latest monographs on finite element analysis, please ask the technicians of your company to choose some for me."

"I will let them continue to provide Mr. Lin with the latest information."

"Okay...... That's all for now, computers and books may require your company to spend another expense. ”

"Oh, that's what we're supposed to do as friends."

……

The meeting ended in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, and Ford took a closer look and found that the entire cost was less than $250,000, half of the bottom line Wilson had given him. Wilson had promised that he would withdraw a tenth of what he could reduce as a bonus, which means that Ford earned a commission of $25,000 just by negotiating with Mr. Lin.

Ford knew that the benefits he had gained from this incident were far more than the $25,000 commission, and he got the patch from Lin Zhenhua to avoid a possible disaster for the company, a contribution that no one else in the company could match. In fact, in the morning call, Wilson had already hinted at the possibility of being promoted to deputy general manager of Asia when he completed the task.

When Lin Zhenhua negotiated with Ford, he kept a faint smile, as if his income of hundreds of thousands of dollars was just a breeze for him. But after leaving Ford, Lin Zhenhua couldn't help but want to sing loudly: Dude! A Swiss bank deposit of $200,000, even in 2011, was the salary of an ordinary white-collar worker for more than ten years, but in 1980, it was almost a mountain of gold. At the black market price of 1:10 against the US dollar, this money is equivalent to 2 million yuan, which is enough to buy half of the Hanhua Machinery Factory. Xiaofang, in the future, our family will make boiled fish every day, two at a time, one for people to eat, and one for feeding cats......

"When the sun shines in the sky,

The flowers smile at me,

The bird said early, early,

Why are you carrying a bag of explosives?

I'm going to blow up the school,

The teacher doesn't know,

As soon as I pull the line, I run,

Boom, the school blew up! ”

Lin Zhenhua hummed a little song and walked happily on the boulevard, when he suddenly found a young woman standing in front of him, looking at him with surprised eyes.

"Hey! Shen girl, how are you? Lin Zhenhua waved his hand to the young woman and came with a singer-like greeting. He recognized that the girl in front of him was Shen Jiale, a talented woman in electric welding. These days, Lin Zhenhua stays in the petrochemical machine, but from time to time he will meet Shen Jiale on the road, but Shen Jiale has repeatedly ignored him. Today, Shen Jiale actually stopped on the road to see him, which made Lin Zhenhua a little surprised. Taking advantage of the happy mood, Lin Zhenhua decided to seize the time to tease the little girl.

"Can you change your name? Girl, girl, it's ugly. Shen Jiale frowned and asked, "Also, what kind of nonsense did you just sing, why did you blow up the school?" ”

"Hehe, you know, I hated school since I was a kid, so my biggest dream was to tie a dynamite bag to the school." Lin Zhenhua opened his mouth, "I can tell you that when I grow up, my ideals have really come true." ”

"Did you really blow up a school?"

"That's right." Lin Zhenhua said, "During the self-defense and counterattack, a group of Vietnamese devils were entrenched in a school and resisted stubbornly. I was ordered to send a bag of explosives, just like the song goes, as soon as I pulled the string, I ran, and with a bang the school blew up! ”

"Really?" Shen Jiale said, with her pure heart, she really couldn't understand Lin Zhenhua's nonsense, she said thoughtfully: "Isn't reading bad? I now regret that I read too little. ”

"Why do you read so many books?" Lin Zhenhua said, "The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you are." ”

"Isn't that what the Gang of Four said, why do you say that?" Shen Jiale asked in surprise, and when she saw the playful smile on Lin Zhenhua's face, she immediately reacted: "Are you kidding me?" It's annoying! ”

This disgusting sound, Lin Zhenhua suddenly had a feeling of closeness to Shen Jiale, this is the true face of a 20-year-old girl, how uncomfortable it is to have a tense face all day long.

"Shen girl, you're standing here, aren't you waiting for me?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile.

"I'm just waiting for you." Shen Jiale said.

"What are you waiting for me for?" Lin Zhenhua hurriedly looked around, and even exaggeratedly half-squatted down to see if there was someone hiding under a truck parked next to him.

Shen Jiale asked strangely, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I'm looking to see if you have arranged someone on the side to beat me up."

"You...... You're a real nuisance! Shen Jiale finally broke out, "Lin Zhenhua, can you be serious!" ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a bitter face: "Miss Shen, I really want to be serious, but I want to think about it, and I can't figure out why you are waiting for me." The only intersection between me and you is that I have offended you, you said that you are waiting for me here, can I not be careful? A beautiful girl like you, there aren't too many strong guys around. ”

Shen Jiale knew that Lin Zhenhua couldn't spit out ivory in his dog's mouth, so the surname Suo directly filtered out his nonsense: "Lin Zhenhua, in fact, what happened that day was that I was wrong, I shouldn't look down on people like that." When I went back, my dad scolded me. I'm waiting here today to apologize to you. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Lin Zhenhua hurriedly said, the person apologized solemnly, no matter how serious he was, he couldn't say it, "Miss Shen, in fact, I was wrong that day, I shouldn't have bet with you to joke." However, everyone is young, and it doesn't hurt to make a joke, so don't take it to heart. ”

"Well, there's one more thing, I'd like to ask you a favor, okay?" Shen Jiale lowered his head and began to hesitate.

Lin Zhenhua became uneasy, couldn't it be that Shen Jiale knew that he had made money and came to him to borrow money, right? In later generations, Lin Zhenhua can be regarded as reading countless women, those girls born in the 80s or 90s, hugging, kissing and opening a house are all calm, and only when they are looking for someone to borrow money, they will show a trace of timidity.

"Master Shen, I'...... How can I help you, I'm just a porter. Lin Zhenhua said with a dry smile, and immediately changed his name to show that there was a sense of distance between the two sides. Please, it's okay if you want to borrow a little money, if it's more than ...... 5000, just don't open your mouth.

Shen Jiale had a bitter face: "Lin Zhenhua, you have changed so many titles, is it messy?" Can't you just call me by my name? ”

"Messy?" Lin Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about it, it was indeed messy enough, girl, miss, girl, master, he really didn't know how to call Shen Jiale.

"That, sister of the Shen family, I really don't know what to call you, if I call you Lin Shen's ......"

"I'll kill you!" Shen Jiale completely collapsed.
