Chapter 208: It's all a pretext
"Good morning, Mr. Maxi!"
After two days of preparation in Brussels, early on the third morning, Alex and Clark, eager to know the outcome of the ISO discussions, arrived at Maxey's office early.
"Good morning, gentlemen, is there anything I can do for you?"
It seems that these two people are very anxious, but no matter how anxious they are, the end is already doomed, now all he has to do is to continue to fool these two people, the longer the two are dragged here, the more beneficial it will be for Metcalfe's actions in Brussels, and correspondingly, his old friend Gate will be more satisfied.
"Mr. President, can we know anything about the progress of our OSI Internet Reference Model technical standard?"
Hearing Maxi ask this, Alex suddenly felt a bad feeling, the other party obviously knew why they came, but now that he said so, things must not be going well.
"A good news plus a piece of news that is not bad news, the good news is that the information team in our organization has been formally established yesterday, and the other is that we should not only consider your company's standards in the information standard, but also need to learn from the technical standards of other companies, only by taking into account various technical standards, so that the final result is very convincing.
However, it may take us more time to establish the final technical standards, and it may take days, weeks or months to complete the process, so I hope you can be patient with this.
Other than that. If I can, I can also arrange a public lecture for you, and then you can introduce your technical standards and technical concepts to our informatization working group in detail, so as to gain the recognition and support of our informatization team in the International Organization for Standardization! ”
I have to admit that Jiang is still old and spicy, at this time, it is not a wise choice to refuse the other party's request or give a specific time node, and it is also very easy for the other party to see the clues.
Only persuasion like this can often make the other party hesitate left and right, so as to achieve the ideal delaying effect. I'm really waiting for the other party to react. Maybe the matter is already in the boat, and it is too late to regret it.
"Thank you very much Mr. President for your support, and if possible, we are very grateful to you for giving us such an opportunity!"
Hearing that the other party Maxi was so supportive. Although Alex was still thinking carefully about the other party's words before. But Clark thinks that the other party is genuinely helping them. immediately expressed his gratitude to the other party.
"That's what we should do, and since you agree, I think it's going to be three days from now. With that time, I think we can both be better prepared! ”
Looking at the happy expressions on the faces of the two, Maxi felt a burst of pride in his heart, these people are too easy to fool, wait until three days later, then he can study the other party's speech and delay the time for a few more days, after the study is over, there will definitely be time to continue the discussion.
Anyway, in general, it is to constantly disappoint the other party and continue to give the other party hope, and according to people's subconscious always like to consider things for the better, you can naturally drag the other party for a long time, even if the intention is detected by the other party, it doesn't matter, because the other party can't find any theoretical support at all.
"Thank you, we will make the most of this very precious opportunity, and thank you again Mr. President for your recognition and support!"
Although he wondered why CEO Mr. Alex suddenly fell silent, Clark seemed very happy, and in three days it would be a good opportunity for him to perform, and at this time he was very happy and happily replied to Maxi as if he had seen the dawn of victory beckoning to him in the near future.
And when Maxi saw Alex, who was still smiling and smiling silently, he also did not suspect him, thinking that the other party was showing a tacit attitude.
"You're welcome, it's my duty and job!"
Maxi smiled more politely to the two.
"In that case, Mr. President, then we will go back and prepare first, if there is any news, please feel free to contact us......"
Seeing that Clark looked at him at the end, Alex, who came back to his senses, did not refuse, even when he expressed their gratitude to the other party.
"Please take care of yourself!"
The other party said goodbye, and Maxi did not stop him, and watched the two leave.
"Mr. Alex, I don't think we should leave in such a hurry, Chairman Maxi has a very good impression of us, I think this is our chance......"
Although the relationship is not a day or two, it is certain that it will accumulate over time, and Clark believes that as long as he and the other party find more common language, then he is still more confident that he can use the other party to promote the process of ISO acceptance of their OSI Internet Reference Model technical standard.
"Mr. Clark, I don't know if you have noticed the tone in which Maxi spoke to us at the beginning, he actually asked us if we needed help, and that was meant to tell us.
When we were in contact with them before, they didn't take us seriously at all, and when they turned around, they left us behind; Another meaning is that the chairman is completely perfunctory, before he asked us to wait for two days when he threw out a message, and now he said that he arranged for us to give a speech and let us wait for another three days, and it is estimated that in the future, he will definitely find other reasons to continue to let us wait.
At this point, I think we need to prepare for the worst, but before that, we need to understand the things clearly, and then I will ask you to continue to prepare when we go back, and I am going to call my boss and ask for his help......"
None of the people who can take on the role of CEO are simple, and from Maxi's casual words, Alex keenly captured that the other party's attitude was debatable, and he planned to prepare for both at the same time.
"Mr. President, please take the time to take a look at this document in my hand......
In the office of Thomas, the chairman of the European Standards Committee, Emerson, who is responsible for the formulation of information technology standards, handed him the technical standard materials that were more suitable for European standardization that Metcalfe handed him yesterday.
"Okay, please give me the information......"
There are only four vice presidents in their committee, and each person is responsible for a wide range of areas, so they generally only control the overall situation, and if they appear directly in their office like the other party, something important must have happened.
And sure enough, when he opened the technical information that he had taken over, just the first few contents, his expression immediately became solemn, and his body tightened...... (To be continued......)
