Zhou Shuo said goodbye to James and returned to the Courtyard by Marriott.

"Mr. Zhou!" In the lobby of the hotel, a black man suddenly chased after him and stopped Zhou Shuo and said, "Hello, I am Robert, an employee of the Northern Dynasty Company. Manager Pang said that you may need a life guide, so the company sent me over. ”

"Oh, hello!" Zhou Shuo looked him up and down, Robert was not a pure black, obviously after several generations of mixed blood, the genetic advantage of hybridization was very prominent in him. He was tall, with a delicate face, a straight nose and white teeth. From the first glance, you can feel that he is very spiritual.

Zhou Shuo shook hands with him, nodded and said, "Come with me, I'll take you up." ”

The two walked side by side to the elevator in the hotel, and Zhou Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Robert, don't you need to go home?" ”

"I'm an orphan." Robert shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm alone, and this night job can be paid according to overtime, which is very cost-effective." ”

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Zhou Shuo shook his head and said regretfully.

"It's nothing, there were a lot of orphans in America in the seventies, and it's just the damn war." Robert seemed optimistic and didn't take his identity as an orphan for a while.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, I saw two people in the hallway twisting into a ball.

"Hey, what's this doing?" Zhou Shuo grabbed a programmer from the six-eared IM development group who was watching and asked strangely.

"Oh, Principal Zhou, these two men said they were looking for someone named Joey. As a result, before the person waited, he inexplicably started fighting......"

"Stop, stop!" Zhou Shuo stepped forward to separate the two. Frowning and asking, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

"Who are you?" One of them asked dissatisfied.

Zhou Shuo frowned. He said calmly, "I'm the Joey you're looking for." ”

When the two of them heard that it was the main owner they were looking for, they hurriedly sorted out their images. They handed out their business cards and introduced themselves.

"Oh, I'm the Business Manager at Stevenson Communications Engineering, Mark."

"I'm the Business Manager at Berkeley Communications Construction, Hollande."

Zhou Shuo took the business cards of the two of them, looked at them carefully, and asked, "I said, what are you looking for me?" Why are you still fighting on the floor we've already packed? ”

I don't think so. Zhou Shuo's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest. The two who had already been separated glanced at each other and quarreled again.

Mark squinted, looked at Hollande viciously and said, "This is a problem between us, Joey, please step aside for a while, my fist doesn't have eyes." ”

Hollande held his wrist and waved a white crane with bright wings and said, "That's right, if I don't beat him into a pig's head today, this matter is not over!" ”

These two people are really thunderous. didn't agree with each other, and they scuffled together.

"Stop!" Zhou Shuo tried his best to separate the two people, but he couldn't defeat these two big men at all.

The two of them exchanged fists and feet for a while, and Zhou Shuo was almost hit. He had no choice but to withdraw from the battle group first and shouted to the people next to him, "Hurry up and call someone to help." It's really troublesome enough to attract the police! ”

The programmer who had watched the excitement before hurriedly nodded and agreed, turned his head and ran: "Oh oh." I'm going to call someone! ”

Zhou Shuo's eyes swept and saw Robert who was in a daze on the side. I couldn't help but shout, "Hey, Robert! Don't be idle. Come and give it a hand! ”

As if from a dream, Robert came back to his senses and said, "Oh, here it is!" ”

With Robert's helper, Zhou Shuo finally separated the two people. The development team of Six Ears IM rushed out of the room one after another, and only then did they completely control the two of them.

"Huhu, okay, it's really a toast without eating and drinking." Zhou Shuo was tired enough, and he held on to the wall and gasped loudly: "Can you talk about it now, why do you want to fight?" ”

Seeing that there were many people on Zhou Shuo's side, and the heroes did not suffer the immediate losses, although Mark broke free from the crowd, he finally did not make any more moves against Hollande.

He looked at Zhou Shuo, patted his chest and said, "You are the manager of the Northern Dynasty Computer Company, right?" I heard Mr. Hoffman say, you want to build a fiber-optic high-speed communication line? Look no further than Stevenson Communications Engineering! ”

Hollande also came out of the crowd angrily, and snorted when he heard this: "Phew, it's right to find us Berkeley Communication Construction Company!" You swindler who steals business information! ”

Mark was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "What kind of theft of business information, this news is what we got from Mr. Hoffman with real money!" ”

Hollande sneered: "Mr. Hoffmann is a shareholder of our Berkeley company, how can he give you the news?" You must have arranged commercial espionage! ”

"Alright, alright!" Zhou Shuo stood in the middle of them and pressed his arms, and the attitude of the two of them was really a little bit unserious about him, the landlord.

No matter how good his temper is, he can't help but say angrily at this time: "If you want something from me, at least give me some respect, right?" Could it be that the managers of American companies are the ones who will fight casually in other people's homes? ”

Hollande nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of the master here, I will spare you today!" ”

Mark didn't want to make Zhou Shuo anxious, so he said, "Hmph, let's see!" ”

Zhou Shuo saw that they finally had a way of talking about things, so he quickly pulled the conversation into the topic and said, "So, can you build an optical fiber communication line from the SBC?" ”

Mark held his head high and nodded, "That's right, you won't find a more professional contractor in Seattle than Stevenson Communications Engineering!" ”

Hollande hurriedly said-for-tat: "Berkeley Communications Construction Company is the top communications engineering contractor in Seattle!" ”

"Okay, okay, if you look like this again, I can only invite you out." Zhou Shuo rubbed his temples and looked at the two people with a headache.

Now, Zhou Shuo also understands what Hoffman is thinking. Obviously, he deliberately quoted a high price on the surface, and then let his related customers undertake the project again, so as to get his hands on it. As for why two people came at a time, maybe he sold two copies of a piece of news, maybe one of these two people really had a company out of the ghost. Who knows, that's not the point anyway.

Although this is not formal, as long as the line can be pulled up, Zhou Shuo doesn't care about how they operate internally. For him, as long as he can provide a 10G fiber line, whoever will do the project is the same. After all, the most difficult thing about the project is to rely on the acceptance to speak, and no one wants to take the money and not work.

Zhou Shuo crossed his hands, looked at the two people and said, "Then, you should quote a price first." Whoever has the lowest price, I will choose which contractor. ”

"Four million!"

"Four million!"

Mark and Hollande said this almost at the same time, and then the two looked at each other and snorted coldly in unison.

Zhou Shuole said: "If the price is the same, I can't make a choice." If any of you are willing to lower the price, I will consider who to hand over the project to. ”

"It's four million, not a penny." Mark shook his head and refused.

"That's right, that's the floor price." Hollande nodded, agreeing with Mark's statement.

Zhou Shuo frowned, four million was by no means his psychological price. If it can't be lowered below three million, his funds will be a little tight. The $10 million borrowed from Son has already cost a lot, and if another four million are invested in the construction of the line, the burden will be too great.

"But you're like this, who should I choose?" Zhou Shuo used a seductive voice to provoke the nerves of the two people. However, things were contrary to his expectations, and the two of them did not have the slightest intention of reducing the price.

"Please wait for me to call, Mr. Hoffman will definitely support our Stevenson company." Mark took Big Brother out of his purse and immediately dialed his number.

The phone was connected, and Mark hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Hi, Mr. Hoffman, I'm Mark of Stevenson!" ”

"I'm already at the Courtyard by Marriott, yes, I've met Mr. Joy of the Northern Dynasty Computer Company."

"But here I ran into Hollande of Berkeley......"

"Well, I see, we can give you an extra three percent of the intermediary fee."

Hollande heard Mark and Hoffman talking, and hurriedly snatched his big brother and shouted to Hoffman: "Let's go out for five points!" ”

"Seven!" Mark hurriedly raised the price and shouted back.

"Ten! 10% of the total project cost! Hollande tugged at his neck and stared at Mark with a red face. I don't know if he overwhelmed Mark in momentum, or if the 10% rebate was too much, and Mark didn't offer a higher price after all.

Berkeley's Hollande looked at Mark triumphantly, his face changing again and again, and he sighed in defeat.

Hollande hung up the phone, threw it back to Mark, and said to Zhou Shuo with a smile: "Okay Joey, we will take this project." ”

Zhou Shuo was stunned, it was the first time he had seen a contractor talk about kickbacks in front of users. This is no longer a matter of disrespect, it can be said that it is very unsightly.

However, the person had to bow his head under the eaves, and he could only continue to talk: "Three million, this is the maximum price I can offer." If you agree, we sign the contract. ”

Like a cat whose tail has been trampled on, Hollande jumped three feet high and shouted: "What! Million? That's impossible! Four million, not a penny. As you heard earlier, we at Berkeley have the support of Mr. Hoffman, and you can't find a second company in Seattle that can take on this project. ”

"No, it's only three million. If you don't accept it now, you won't even have this price in the future. (To be continued......)
