Chapter 209: Debunking the Trick
"Boss, I need your help......"
Alex is a man who does what he says, and since he is already suspicious, he has to verify Maxi's words today no matter what.
In Geneva, the two of them must be too weak to even try to find out, not to mention that Clark has to prepare for his speech in three days for the sake of conservatism.
In this way, Alex can only seek Yao Fei's help, not far from Geneva, Zurich has a joint venture factory between An Baishen and their company, as long as Yao Fei can get the other party to give him some help, this matter is not difficult to solve.
"No problem, how can I help?"
There is no need to ask in detail, Yao Fei also knows that the other party is encountering a very tricky thing now, otherwise with the other party's ability, he definitely doesn't need to worry about it.
"Vice Secretary Clark and I are visiting the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in Geneva in the hope that they can adopt our company's OSI model as their IT standard, and although things seem to be going well, there is no substantial progress at all, so I hope you can give me some resources.
I need to know and certify the inside of their organization to make sure that what their chairman, Maxi, is saying to us is true. ”
Going to someone's ISO lair to find out the intelligence is a difficult technical job, and it will be more troublesome if you investigate it from the outside, but if you can get help from insiders, it will definitely be a breeze, just need to confirm the time when the ISO internal information team was established, and the general situation of the other party's work content these days.
"No problem. You can go to General Manager Smith of An Baishen for this matter, just say that I asked you to find him, what help you need, you just tell him, the phone number Miss Brenda should know.
As a side note, I'm very sympathetic to yours, because as far as I know, there has always been a very close relationship between ISO and IEEE, and now when it comes to Internet technology standards, IEEE has chosen each other. Then quite possibly. The two of them will join forces again to further gain the trust of ISO, and such an action will certainly be a win-win situation for both of them. We can see that. I don't believe the other side will not see the benefits of this! ”
Yao Fei was previously a well-known expert in electronic engineering. I often participate in some international academic exchange conferences, whether I have studied or heard, I have heard of the cats between IEEE and ISO. Although the starting time is not delving, it is enough to know this.
"I think so too, so I want to find out right away, and I'll ask Deputy Secretary Clark to be prepared for the other during the investigation!"
With Yao Fei's strong support, Alex's previous psychological worries have been even more precipitated, because if Yao Fei's speculation is true, then there is no doubt that this will be another heavy blow to them!
But since this thing has been carried out to this point, it must be carried out no matter what.
"Mr. President, I hope you can give us an explanation!"
Two days later, with the help of An Baishen, Alex successfully obtained the information he needed to know, and when he learned about the contents, he was immediately furious.
"A statement? What is the statement? Don't you two need to be more prepared for tomorrow's presentation? ”
Seeing that Alex and Clark were not good, Maxi felt a sudden burst in his heart, and deliberately said very innocently.
"Mr. President, your informatization working group within the International Organization for Standardization was established a month ago, is that so?"
Seeing that the old man in front of him was so good at acting, Alex was already expressionless, and all the relatively gentle words before coming were forgotten by him at this time, and he directly exposed the lies prepared by the other side.
"Yes, but at that time our working group was still in the trial operation stage, and we only formalized his job responsibilities two days ago!"
Even if Alex exposed his lies on the spot, Maxi was not in a hurry, and explained to the two of them in a calm tone and a kind smile as before.
"Okay, Mr. President, let's not go on with this topic for a moment, but how can you explain the fact that Mr. Metcalfe from the DIX Group remained in your office during our visit to you?
And, as far as we know, your ISO Informatization Working Group is currently working on developing your Internet technology standards based on the Ethernet Protocol, am I right? ”
With the help of insiders, it was too easy to get this information, so the person sent by Smith to help only took a little more than a day to help Alex get the information he needed.
"Gentlemen, I don't deny it, but you should understand that an international organization like ours has to be more respectful of the facts, and that we need to consider your technical solutions, but what we need to consider more often is the Internet technology that is already being used in practice, which is crucial.
Still, we'd like to give you the opportunity, because it's not hard to see that your OSI Internet reference model makes more sense in terms of technical concepts, which is why I'm willing to arrange a presentation for you tomorrow, and if not, then I don't mind canceling it immediately! ”
True and false, false and real, Maxi has been through the ups and downs of most of his life, and he has long been extremely proficient in the use of these skills, and when he said this, Clark's originally somewhat firm expression on the other side suddenly softened.
However, Maxi's tricks are a little contemptible for Alex, who is also a perennial socializer.
"Thank you, Mr. President, for your kindness, I don't think we need to, and then we have to go somewhere else, bye!"
Exposed the other party's conspiracy, slapped the other party's old face for a while, and stayed any longer, it was just a complete waste of time, it was better to leave early, and maybe feel the next destination before getting off work this afternoon.
"In that case, good luck to you!"
With a polite remark, Maxi watched the two leave, until the office door was closed again, and the original smile on his face suddenly became a little playful.
"Mr. Metcalfe, your opponent is already on his way to Brussels, good luck!"
Picking up the phone in hand, Maxi told the other party what had just happened.
"Mr. President, anyway, thank you very much for your help, next year's West Coast Electronics Fair, I will definitely accompany you for a few drinks......" (To be continued......)
