Chapter 362: Brown's Scam
"Yes, Mr. Li, let me give you a detailed description of the plan we offer."
Seeing that the first business had happily entered the substantive stage, Brown, as the leader, could already imagine the awards and generous bonuses he received after returning to the company's headquarters, and maybe even the future business in Huaxia would be handed over to him to be responsible.
Opening the market has always been the most difficult task.
Brown looked down at the document and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Li, according to the scale and location of the three companies and the communication requirements you have put forward, the plan we have formulated includes 300 high-power handheld walkie-talkies, a signal relay station, three signal transceiver terminals and supporting accessories to form a wireless communication system. Considering that your company has a good job with Chrysler Defense, and we have been working closely with Chrysler Defense and Chrysler Motors, we have decided to provide you with a preferential price of 3 million US dollars per set. ”
"Three million dollars?" Li Lu asked.
Brown affirmed, "Yes, that's right, it's only three million dollars." ”
Zhang Weiwei and Guo Hanwei both frowned, and Guo Hanwei couldn't help but say, "Brown, your offer is too outrageous, just this little thing, it costs three million US dollars." I've seen walkie-talkies, just a few things, three hundred you will cost three million dollars, a hundred thousand dollars, too expensive. ”
"Mr. Guo." Brown patiently explained, "It can't be understood that way. First of all, this is the price of a complete set of communication systems, including installation services, technical services and follow-up technical support. In fact, the price of 300 handheld walkie-talkies is only a small part, and the most expensive is the signal relay station. We needed to build a base station that could accommodate electronics, which would cost a lot of money. ”
Li Lu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Brown, put aside whether the price is reasonable or not for the time being, I would like to reiterate my request." The solution you just mentioned only solves the communication problem, and it is a point-to-point and point-to-point voice communication problem. For example, a commander needs to give instructions to a specific group, and there are only two ways, first, to issue them point-to-point, and second, to issue them on a given channel. Right? ”
"Yes...... Yes. Brown was secretly surprised in his heart, Li Lu's words surprised him, he thought that Li Lu didn't understand communication technology at all, and he also thought that his introduction just now seemed unfathomable to Li Lu and these people.
As everyone knows, he is facing a concept that knows better than anyone else in this era about the future development trend of communication technology and advanced technology. No one understands the specific concepts of advanced communication technology better than Li Lu.
Li Lu said with a faint smile, "What I ask is to be able to realize custom group division, independently set up several groups, and achieve flat communication and communication, so that communication confidentiality can be realized and the efficiency of communication command can be greatly improved." I distinctly remember that among the requests I made was text transmission. But there's no mention of that in your plan. ”
Brown's face was a little embarrassed, and it seemed like a stupid act to fool around on a technical level. Where are the Chinese people who have been closed off from the country for decades, and they are the fierce people who are familiar with the world's cutting-edge communication technology.
Li Luhe smiled and said, "As for the plan you mentioned, I'm sorry, can you explain what role the three sets of transceiver terminals can play under the condition of having a signal relay station?" The function of the signal relay station is to extend the communication distance of the walkie-talkie, and the walkie-talkie is not a transceiver terminal? ”
All of a sudden, Brown's face turned white, embarrassed and frightened.
That feeling is that he thinks that the other party is a cow who doesn't understand anything, no matter what kind of music he plays, the cow will not react, just need to know that Motorola can solve the problem, that is enough.
Now, it turns out that he is working hard to perform, and it is the cow who thinks he doesn't understand anything to watch the show with popcorn!
He was humiliated nakedly, and he humiliated himself.
Li Lu stood up, took out a cigarette and lit one, took two puffs, and said with a faint smile, "Three million dollars." Mr. Brown, a walkie-talkie within a distance of three kilometers can be bought from Hong Kong for just over a hundred dollars, and the so-called signal relay station is not as mysterious as yours. Hehe, I think, Mr. Brown, you need to continue to do your research on the market. I won't bother, good night. ”
With that, he turned and left.
Guo Hanwei stared at Brown and spit out a few words, "Hairpin oil--!" ”
Seeing Li Lu leave, Brown's face was red and white, and his heart was full of all kinds of air currents, ashamed and annoyed, and his mood was terrible.
The technicians around him were still in shock, muttering to themselves, "This Huaxia man, how does he understand this?" He mentioned the command-and-control wireless communication system, which is impossible to achieve with the current technical conditions! ”
In fact, if it is realized according to the requirements put forward by Li Lu, it is a digital trunking communication system. In the future, the internal communication system that will be widely popularized and even used by a shopping mall on a large scale is considered to be a high-tech technology at this time, and even at the military level, the US military has just begun to build.
The flat command and control mentioned by Li Lu is the communication command method that the Chinese army dreams of in the future. He made such a request to Motorola, just to prove the current technical level of Motorola, and did not think that he could really get such a communication system.
In fact, it will be a few more years before Motorola invests in this research.
Li Lu was angry about Brown's behavior of asking for $3 million when he opened his mouth, which was taking the Chinese people as the main culprit. 300 walkie-talkies plus signal relay stations, even with perfect after-sales service, absolutely do not need 200,000 US dollars!
That's a fifteen-fold increase!
Even Li Lu seriously suspected that it was the price that Brown quoted casually temporarily!
It's a shame too!
If you change to someone who doesn't understand technology, I'm afraid you will negotiate the price of $3 million. If you talk about it, you can't talk about it for less than half a million dollars!
"You don't have to let them go to the dry port, let's send them away politely and politely." Li Lu said to Guo Hanwei.
Guo Hanwei and Zhang Weiwei also had ugly faces, and they were treated as fools, and everyone was angry. Guo Hanwei said angrily, "It's good if I don't let them eat, and I send them off!" ”
"Calm down, we lack knowledge of the world, that's a fact." Li Lu said in a deep voice, "Just treat them as if nothing happened, send them away." ”
Guo Hanwei nodded sullenly, and when he returned to Building No. 1, he asked worriedly, "Third brother, what about our communication system?" ”
Li Lu said with a smile, "Without Zhang Butcher, I can't eat hairless pigs." There is a Siemens company in West Germany, which is also very good at this. ”
"Yes." Zhang Weiwei remembered something and said, "Didn't Mr. Lloyd of MBB mention it before, they have a good relationship with Siemens, and they have always cooperated. Siemens supplied most of their communication equipment systems. ”
Li Lu nodded slightly, glanced at Guo Hanwei and Zhang Weiwei, and said, "You have to study hard and expand your horizons, such things will be indispensable in the future." ”
"Understood!"
