"We can poach!" Trench said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Poaching? No, no, my company can't afford to have five more system engineers! Raymond shook his head like a rattle and was very tough.

"I didn't say we were going to do it!" "This week there is a conflict with a senior executive at Microsoft, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend. We can try to work with Mr. Farrell and teach this Chinese kid a lesson! ”

Raymond heard that he didn't have to pay for it himself, and of course he had no scruples. Hurriedly nodded and said: "Good idea, Microsoft's name is much louder than ours, and the success rate will be higher if they come." ”

The two of them had made up their minds, and they returned to the Moskovskny Exhibition and Convention Center, and went straight to Farrell's door.

From Farrell's point of view, Zhou Shuo was indeed like a fish thorn choked in his throat, although it was not fatal, but it made him very uncomfortable. On the one hand, he finally got his wish and returned to the operating system project team, but on the other hand, if the most promising instant messaging software turned out to be really promising, then he would undoubtedly have to bear a lot of pressure to give up.

And Zhou Shuo did not leave the United States for a day, so there was no guarantee that the instant messaging software would not be put on the market. He either works with others or simply runs the project himself. In case Zhou Shuo really succeeds with shit luck, Microsoft will never ignore Farrell's serious mistakes because of his past achievements.

Although he really does not believe that a Chinese idea can be very successful in the United States.

After Trench reported to his home, Farrell patiently listened to him explain the idea of unity.

He quietly listened to the trench finish his plan, nodded coldly and said, "Okay, Mr. Trench." I know about this, you can go back. ”

He was stunned and asked, "Mr. Farrell, you haven't given me an answer yet." Do you agree to cooperate with the two sides to jointly suppress that Chinese kid? ”

Farrell waved his hand and turned back to his office. Although he did not say a word on the surface, it did not mean that he did not agree. If he goes to target the Northern Dynasty Computer Company with great fanfare, then doesn't it mean that he cares very much about Zhou Shuo's whereabouts? This in itself probably shows enough attention, whether it is for Zhou Shuo himself or for instant messaging software.

Theoretically, neither people nor software should be worth mentioning to Farrell, and he must maintain this consistent attitude.

Back in the office, Farrell picked up the phone, flipped through the phone book and thought for a while, and decisively dialed the number.

"Hi Jerry, it's me Farrell......"

Trench returned to Laco PET Printing Equipment and told Raymond about the interview. Before they could come up with a clue, they heard some noisy voices coming from outside.

Behind Mr. Johnson, a group of people walked over. Raymond and Zhou Shuo came out of the office one after another, and Johnson introduced: "These two are Mr. Raymond of ELR and Mr. Joy of Beichao Company, they are designing and planning for the development of Laco's ERP software, they are very good young men!" ”

Turning around, Johnson pointed to a group of people behind him and said: "These are my partners, I saw Microsoft's display of ERP software at the COMDEX exhibition, and they all hope to integrate our entire industrial chain for a ......."

Raymond's breath became short of breath when he heard this, this is a big business! There are no more than twenty or thirty people behind Johnson, involving the entire upstream and downstream supply chain of circuit printing, which is where ERP software comes in! Not to mention the publicity effect caused by the upgrading of such a supply chain management, whether it is to eat meat or drink soup, it can be said that it is in one fell swoop!

Raymond's face was full of spring breeze, showing his self-esteem greatest personal charm, and said happily: "Hello gentlemen, I am Raymond, the manager of ELR company, although our ELR is a new company, but we have at least ten years of experience in enterprise management software, it is definitely the right choice for you!" ”

I have to say that Raymond's American identity and white face still won him a lot of impression points here. Hearing his introduction, many people showed admiration and belief, which made his confidence improve a lot.

Raymond glanced at Zhou Shuo proudly, and said with persistent efforts: "Gentlemen, software development is a very serious job. ELR doesn't say all that fancy propaganda, but we can assure you that ELR knows better than anyone how Americans do business. ”

This point is indeed on Zhou Shuo's seven inches, and localization has always been a hurdle that multinational companies must face. If you can't get past it, naturally all your ambitions don't need to be mentioned. He said cautiously: "I would like to ask you gentlemen to note that the North Dynasty Company is not a foreign company, and 95 percent of our employees are Americans. Our technicians have a long history of software design experience and are all excellent. In fact, the ERP software launched by Microsoft is produced by the North Dynasty Company, and you can consult Mr. James of Microsoft for this point. Of course, these are not the focus, past achievements can only represent the past, and excellent businessmen must be based on the present. ”

He slowed down, and continued: "ERP software as a management tool has a cost, and this cost generally has three indicators, namely technology, time and money. The level of technology determines the cost of operating this system in the future, and the development time reflects the strength of a company's technical strength, of course, the most important cost is the amount of money you invest. If you choose Beichao as the service provider, I guarantee that the service fee for each individually developed system will not exceed 100,000 US dollars. ”

As Zhou Shuo finished speaking, the crowd was shocked. $100,000 in service fees! What is this concept? At least less than one-third of the cost of the MRPII system that everyone is currently using!

Raymond was also stunned, how is this possible for a hundred thousand dollars? In his experience, the complexity of ERP software is still on top of the MRPII system. $100,000 is a month's salary for 20 programmers, and the cost of losing money must be more than half! Could it be that he has such abundant capital that he wants to directly rely on low prices to monopolize this industry?

Immediately, he thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked in a loud voice: "Mr. Zhou, you don't seem to have said the development cycle of 100,000 US dollars, right?" $100,000 is a real deal, but are you going to delay it for half a year or a year? ”

"Of course not." Zhou Shuo spread his hands and said: "We can guarantee that within half a month after the plan is determined, the software will be delivered and the implementation stage will be." ”

"It can't be!" Raymond sneered, "Just the skills of the five of you? I'm afraid that the development can be completed in half a year! ”

"We can sign a contract." Zhou Shuo spread his hands.

"I ......" Raymond gritted his teeth, he also wanted to promise to produce results in half a month, but unfortunately this was impossible.

But he couldn't watch Zhou Shuo sign this agreement with them, at a price of 100,000 US dollars, even if the Beichao Company really defaulted in the end, the most was to pay liquidated damages, these business owners would still choose his software. However, if ELR is excluded from the beginning, and the model of integrating the industrial chain with ERP software, it is almost impossible to drink soup. At that time, even if someone wants to transfer the software that the North Dynasty Company can't complete to him, I'm afraid that the corpse of the ELR company will already be cold.

At this time, a voice suddenly came out of the door, and said loudly: "We can also guarantee the delivery and implementation in half a month!" ”

The crowd turned around and saw a black man coming in through the door. The man was all swarthy and wore a black suit, only the shirt with the collar of the suit showing and his teeth were white. From a distance, it looks like a big tree that has been scorched by lightning.

The black man came over with a business card in his hand, and handed it out to everyone. Holding his head high, he said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Jerry, the manager of Berkeb Software. ”

He smiled and said to Raymond: "Mr. Raymond, I heard that you have encountered a little difficulty in the competition with the Chinese, as a patriot, I would like to wish you a helping hand!" ”

Raymond didn't expect that there would be no way out, and there would be another village. Almost with tears in his eyes, he said, "Mr. Jerry, although I don't know who you are, where you come from, or what you are for, I am very grateful for your help!" ”

"You're welcome, in return for gratitude, Berkeb wants to be able to acquire a 70 percent stake in ELR." Jerry smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Uh-" Raymond cried out as if he had been choked by the neck, and his face flushed, "You can't do that!" ”

"I'm sorry." Jerry said to him with an innocent face, "I can." ”

Yes, he can. Raymond hung his head in despair, if he couldn't grasp Jerry's life-saving straw, his entire initial investment would be in vain. Not only will the house be taken away by the bank, but he will also have to owe a large amount of debt, his business reputation will go bankrupt, and he will not let him go, and he will lose his whole life......

Jerry patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Look ahead, Mr. Raymond." Berkebu is a promising company in the enterprise software industry, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. ”

After saying that, he turned to everyone and said with a confident smile, "I think, we can start signing contracts." ”

As he was talking, Pang Zhou suddenly ran out of the office in a panic and said in Zhou Shuo's ear.
