Zhou Shuo, Liu Gang, and Liu Guifang walked out of the Finance Bureau and watched the Fulin Group get into the car and drive away triumphantly.

Liu Gang spat indignantly and snorted: "Don't look at the smile now, be careful to pull the list in the future." Zhou'er, since the component factory was acquired by Fulin Group, what should we do? ”

Zhou Shuo smiled, shook his head and said, "The play hasn't finished yet, let's take a look." ”

Zhou Shuo and the three of them didn't take two steps, and someone chased after them from behind and shouted, "Is it Mr. Zhou?" Our boss would like to talk to you. ”

"Your boss? Do I know each other? Zhou Shuo asked curiously.

The man nodded and said, "We met in the conference room just now, my boss is in the back, you just wait a minute." ”

"Oh." Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "Okay then, I'll wait." ”

He is now worth tens of millions, and others say casually where to see someone, and they really don't dare to be stupid and follow. This man looks dressed fairly well, and is relatively polite, and it is reasonable to wait on the street.

After a while, a man about thirty years old walked over from the direction of the Finance Bureau, and he said with a smile: "This is Mr. Zhou, right?" Hello, my name is Li Jiufeng, and I have admired my name for a long time! ”

"Hehe, hello. Does Mr. Lee know me? Zhou Shuo asked suspiciously.

Li Jiufeng shook his head and said, "It's just that I've heard of the big name for a long time, and I can't say how to know it." But I really want to get to know Mr. Zhou, my father and Pang Zhou's father are colleagues. ”

Zhou Shuo said regretfully: "Oh, Pang Zhou didn't tell me much about his family. ”

Li Jiufeng sneered: "He has a strict family education, if he hadn't made a name for himself, he would still be a junior clerk." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and sighed: "Who would have thought that this kid would suddenly turn into a phoenix and go abroad to become a capitalist, which is really eye-catching." Just because of this, the old man of my family is going to die, let me learn more from him. ”

Zhou Shuo pursed his lips and smiled: "Pang Zhou is relatively well-behaved at home, Ha Luha." Is Mr. Li looking for me? ”

Li Jiufeng took out a business card from his pocket and said, "It's nothing, I just want to get to know Mr. Zhou today." This is my business card, I have run a small business by myself, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future. ”

Zhou Shuo took his business card and glanced at it. "Chenguang Group, what does Mr. Li do for business?" ”

"I do everything, I eat with a mouthful, mainly because I take the general agent of Bohai from several foreign companies. I'm not like Pang Zhou, I can still borrow some light from home, and I can mix food and clothing somewhat. Li Jiufeng said casually.

As soon as Zhou Shuo heard this, he understood in his heart what kind of path he was. But for the sake of Pang Zhou's face, he put away his business card. Then he touched it from his pocket, took out a notepad, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, don't laugh, I don't have a business card yet." Write you a school phone number, and you can usually find me. ”

Zhou Shuo really can't be blamed for this negligence, he hasn't used his business card for many years before he was reborn. Acquaintances dial each other's phone numbers, save a name is simple and convenient, and after being reborn, you will forget this troublesome way of communicating for a while.

Write down your name and contact details and rip off a page. Zhou Shuo wrote the three letters "PDA" on another page, which is also an important research direction, but it should not be forgotten.

Li Jiufeng took Zhou Shuo's note with both hands, peeked at it, and couldn't help asking, "What does Mr. Zhou's PDA mean?" Is it a new software design? ”

"Oh, this one." Zhou Shuo smiled: "Paper business cards are too troublesome, I just thought that it would be much more convenient to make a handheld device that can be used to check the phone, so I can write it down casually." ”

Li Jiufeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with interest: "If Mr. Zhou makes this product, you must notify me!" ”

Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

Li Jiufeng put away Zhou Shuo's contact information, held his hand, and said sincerely: "Then I won't bother Mr. Zhou, and I look forward to the day when I cooperate with you!" ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we will definitely have a chance." Zhou Shuo shook his hand vigorously and said.

"Haha Zhou Fulin waved the contract document in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Uncle Ping'an, how is it." As I said, what we FULIN Group fancies, how can we not get it? ”

Zhou Ping'an, director of Ping An Garment Factory under Fulin Group, piled up a smile and complimented: "Yes, yes." Zhou Shao is really wise and wise, and when he talks and laughs, he is in ashes! Ha Luha, now is the time for us to make a big difference. ”

"That's right! Have I made all the production equipment you acquired ready? Zhou Fulin crossed Erlang's legs and asked with great interest.

"Zhou Shao rest assured, it's all acquired." Zhou Ping'an nodded violently and said: "Just wait for the supply contract signed with Microsoft, we will be able to produce at full capacity immediately!" ”

"Great! Let's go to the imperial capital and talk to that Microsoft person. I heard that Zhou Shuo relied on the advantage of patents, and a keyboard could be sold for a high price of $20. Hmph, this time we will use 40 yuan to supply the Americans, I don't believe that he can't be squeezed! ”

Zhou Fulin and Zhou Ping'an took a group of people to leave, pulled out a convoy of six cars, and went straight to the imperial capital.

At this time, the manager of Microsoft's China office had already been replaced, and Tu Bin, a native of Baodao, took over James's class and was appointed as the new general manager. One of his key tasks is to secure a steady supply of Microsoft's X-architecture ergonomic keyboards.

When he heard that someone was willing to supply Microsoft for 40 yuan, he stood up on the spot. After turning around in place, he hurriedly said to the secretary: "Give me the phone number of Principal Xiucheng Zhou, quick!" ”

The newly recruited secretary hurriedly flipped out Zhou Shuo's phone in the phone book, beeped two rings, and the phone was connected.

"Hey, I'm Microsoft China, I'm looking for Principal Zhou."

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I have something here to confirm to you, has the patent of your X-architecture keyboard been transferred to someone else?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, that's good. I understand, of course, Mr. Zhou must have a good relationship when he comes to the imperial capital. ”

"Okay, see you again!"

Tu Bin shook his head with a smile, stood up and said to the secretary: "Okay, invite the guests to the reception room, and I'll go over in a while." ”

Seeing that the secretary was gone, Tu Bin whistled and fiddled with his hair, looked in the mirror and tightened his tie, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the office.

For him, James is different from himself. Tu Bin knows very well that Microsoft will make big moves in 1995, and before that, the best thing is to calm down, and the fewer changes the better.

Today, although the cost price of Microsoft's X-architecture keyboard is $20, it is sold for hundreds of dollars. Zhou Shuo's keyboard factory seems to produce 50,000 keyboards a month, and it seems to be very remarkable to be able to earn millions of turnovers. But is that really a lot?

Compared with the 200 million computers in the United States, 50,000 keyboards are not even a drop in the bucket. Although the cost price of the thin-film X-frame keyboard using flexible silver paste technology is much lower than that of the traditional crater rigid PCB keyboard, it is actually sold as a luxury item in the United States.

Before the production of the Windows 95 operating system, if you rashly change suppliers and greatly reduce the purchase price, should Microsoft sell it at a lower price? How do you explain the sale at a reduced price to users who have previously paid a high price? If the price is not reduced, if it is known that its cost price is known, how much turmoil will it cause?

So for Microsoft, the best way to seek stability is: seek stability.

Tu Bin entered the reception room with a healthy step, and said with a hearty smile in Taiwanese Chinese: "I'm sorry, I made everyone wait for a long time." ”

Tu Bin shook hands with Zhou Fulin and Zhou Ping'an one by one, and then said: "My person Tu Bin, Tian is the general manager of Microsoft's China office, I don't know what to call the guests?" ”

Zhou Fulin smiled solemnly: "Hello Manager Tu, my name is Zhou Fulin, this is my uncle Zhou Ping'an." We are here on behalf of the Fulin Group in Xiucheng City, Bohai Province, and we are here mainly in the hope of supplying X-architecture keyboards to Microsoft. ”

"Oh?" Tu Bin asked curiously: "Has your company obtained a patent for the X-architecture keyboard?" ”

Zhou Fulin said triumphantly: "That's not true, but it has been granted a patent." In terms of cost, hehe, even if others have patents, they can't compare to our advantages. ”

Tu Bin nodded and asked, "I don't know what industry your company is?" Do you have experience in the production of electronic products? ”

When Zhou Fulin heard this, he said proudly: "Fulin Group is mainly engaged in the textile and plastic products industry, with rich experience in international trade, you can fully trust our ability." ”

Tu Bin hesitated: "So, you don't have any experience in the production of electronic products?" ”

"No, no, no, we have it." Zhou Fulin hurriedly took out a document and handed it to him, saying: "Fulin Group has just acquired Xiucheng Components Factory, which is an electronics factory with a history of more than 50 years. With rich experience in production and management, I believe that it will be able to meet the production needs of X-architecture keyboards. ”

Tu Bin flipped through the introduction of Xiucheng Components Factory, nodded and said: "This factory is really good from the documents, how long will it take for you to put it into production?" ”

"Anytime!" Zhou Fulin saw that Tu Bin's words had a loose feeling, and said excitedly: "Our equipment and personnel are ready, as long as we sign the contract, we can organize production immediately!" And we have an advantage over others, because we invest more, the capital is stronger, and once we put it into production, the output is not the same as others! ”

Tu Bin frowned slightly when he heard his last words, and said unrecognizably on the surface: "Okay, show me your patent authorization certificate, if it's okay, I will recommend you to the head office." ”

Zhou Fulin was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much, Manager Xie Tu!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to Zhou Ping'an and said, "Uncle Ping'an, quickly show the authorization document to Manager Tu." ”

Zhou Ping'an hurriedly took out the authorization contract for the X-architecture keyboard from his bag and handed it to Tu Bin.

Tu Bin took the contract, turned the two pages and looked at it, and said with a "huh": "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid Microsoft can't cooperate with you." ”
