Chapter 204 All-round cooperation
When Zhou Ming and Liu Qiang came out of Saifuk Company again, today's Fort Technology Exhibition had ended. Tang Ran was asking all the company's employees to have dinner at the very famous Sunflower Restaurant. They rushed over quickly. A quarter of an hour later, all the people from Jeko Company were already sitting at the dining table.
At the company dinner, Tang Ran, as the president, spoke first: It has been half a month since I took over Jeke Company. With the joint efforts of me and everyone, our Jeke Company has transformed from a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy to a prosperous company. Although today is the second day of the Science and Technology Exhibition and the lowest popularity day, we still signed a three-point order and developed many customers who are interested in our company.
This is very exciting, which also shows that everyone here is very excellent. On behalf of my board of directors and myself, I would like to thank you everyone.
Tang Ran said as he stood up and bowed to everyone, and all the employees of Jieke Company stood up and bowed to Tang Ran when they saw Tang Ran like this.
Zhou Ming saw this situation and he was very satisfied with it. It seemed that Tang Ran was indeed learning how to be a competent leader.
After Tang Ran, General Manager Cheng Qian said: President Tang thanked us just now, but I think we should thank President Tang and Vice President Zhou more. After all, if it weren't for them, there wouldn't be the current Jieke. We might still have to live a nervous life, fearing that the company will declare bankrupt one day, where will there be a chance to participate in the Futai Technology Exhibition and how can we get in touch with such information technology?
After saying that, Cheng Qian also took the lead in standing up and bowing to Tang Ran and Zhou Mingshen respectively, and the others followed suit.
After Chengqian, Zhou Heng from the marketing department also said: General Manager Cheng is right and it is true. Today I asked several of my customers to come to the technology exhibition. After watching our display products, they all showed great interest. This is all the credit of President Tang and Vice President Zhou.
Everyone was praising it, but only the accountant Susan was going to complain: It’s just that our Jeke company is getting better and better, and there are more and more financial matters. I just hope that President Tang and Vice President Zhou must hire two more accountants as soon as possible, otherwise financial work will be very troublesome. I don’t want to drag the whole company down due to financial reasons.
Everyone said it all the time. The atmosphere in the box was very good. Even Susan's complaint, her face was still filled with a joyful smile. After all, she would be fine if the company was good.
In this joyful atmosphere, Zhou Ming stood up and said: Seeing that everyone is so happy, I can't hold back. I will tell you something better. Today, Manager Liu and I went to Saifok to evaluate the situation of their information database. The result was that if the equipment and software were updated according to their requirements, it would require a budget of at least five million.
This number was immediately shocked everyone. Although everyone knew that Zhou Ming and Liu Qiang went to Saifok today, no one expected that such a large order would be negotiated.
This is incredible, how could there be five million? Isn't it just two million?
Someone asked Liu Qiang immediately, but Liu Qiang didn't know how to answer this. It can't be said that Zhou Ming was deliberately cheating the Saifuk company. He said the small matter of cleaning up garbage files was very serious, and finally the five million project was created. Although this was a cheating company, it also damaged the image of the leader.
In the end, Zhou Ming cleared the siege for him: there were indeed two million at the beginning, but they wanted the best of everything. After recalculating it for them, we finally gave a number of five million. After this technology exhibition, we can go to sign the contract at any time.
As Zhou Ming finished speaking, there was another warm cheer on the scene. Although the contract has not been officially signed yet, Tang Ran and Zhou Ming have already brought so many miracles, so Jeko's employees are very confident in them.
Of course, someone asked a question, Cheng Qian asked: Vice President Zhou, it is indeed great to get these five million projects, but can our technology and production capacity meet their requirements?
Cheng Qian was like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished the enthusiasm and made everyone stunned, because what Cheng Qian said was a very realistic problem. Because the situation in Jieke Company was extremely poor before, many people were fired. It is precisely for this reason that the original three departments of technology research and development and engineering were merged into one department. In addition, what they exhibited at this science and technology exhibition was not their own technology, so how could they complete the production task?
Faced with everyone's confusion, Zhou Ming answered them: General Manager Cheng, your worries are correct, but you seem to have forgotten that we had a cooperation agreement with Aipai Company at this exhibition, so the orders we have to reach during the Science and Technology Exhibition can be held responsible for any tasks that we cannot complete ourselves.
Zhou Ming's words stunned everyone. As employees of Jieke Company, of course they all know that Jieke and Aipai Company cooperated to participate in the exhibition, but can they still ask the other party to help their orders carry out production tasks?
Zhou Ming smiled and said: Of course, the agreement is not as clear as it is written, but this is also a technical service.
Is this OK?
All the employees of Jeke Company expressed doubts about Zhou Ming's method. After all, this is a bit too scoundrel. If Aipai Company doesn't want to be completely entangled, after all, this contract is just an ambiguous sentence to ensure all technical problems during the exhibition. In this sentence, this lawsuit can last for at least several years, but Jeke Company can't wait for such a long time.
No one understood where Zhou Ming came from. The next day, Zhou Ming and everyone from Jieke Company came to the Stanford Convention Center again, preparing to help Jieke Company achieve a wonderful closing at this conference.
However, when Zhou Ming and his team came to the booth of Jeke, they suddenly found that there were people around them again. However, this time the crowd did not surround their booth, but were all around the booth of Aipai Company next door. Zhou Ming looked around and saw that the current chairman of Aipai Company and the CEO John were both here, and they were talking to the reporters.
Today is the last day of the Futai Technology Exhibition. I am very honored to introduce to you the latest products of Aipai Company. It is a computer, a computer produced by our Aipai Company. All the configurations inside are the best in the world, and the price is the most reasonable and fair. You can see that there are many concept products on our booth. They are like girls who have already put on makeup, waiting for your choice at any time. Of course, I believe more that they represent future technology.
In front of countless reporters, Ball made a passionate speech, but Zhou Ming shook his head secretly. Although Ball's humor caused bursts of laughter from the crowd, it can be seen that they are not very interested in the product itself.
Ball himself seemed to have discovered this, so he saw that the people from Jeke Company came over and immediately changed the topic. He pointed to Jeke Company and said: Look, there is the booth of Jeke Company, which belongs to our cooperative company. Whether the products or software they displayed were developed by our Aipai Company.
It was not until this sentence that all the reporters were shocked. Of course, his argument also made Tang Ran very dissatisfied.
Who is this? At that time, these products and technologies were thrown to us like garbage. Now, Brother Ming, you have made all these things famous, and they say it is theirs, and they are shameless. Tang Ran muttered.
There is no way to do this, after all, these things are indeed from Aipai Company. Zhou Ming comforted Tang Ran, and the most important thing is that they may not be a good thing for us to say this.
Tang Ran didn't understand Zhou Ming's last words, so Zhou Ming just smiled at her. Then Zhou Ming walked to the booth of Aipai Company and took the initiative to say hello to Ball. When Ball saw Zhou Ming coming over, he said: This is the vice president of Jeko Company. He proposed the cooperation with our Aipai Company. He said that he liked Aipai Company's products and technology very much, so I gave him the best products of the company to show.
From planning to exhibition, we have formulated a series of plans for him. In addition, the best products of Aipai naturally made Jeko Company famous. However, no matter what, Mr. Zhou Ming is also a very excellent executive. Ball said condescendingly.
With Ball's words, all the reporters' focus immediately turned to Zhou Ming. After all, the speech on the first day of this science and technology exhibition was still very surprising.
Zhou Ming was not angry about Ball's obvious behavior of winning the credit. He just smiled and nodded and said: It is true, Jeko Company and Aipai Company have an in-depth cooperation agreement.
After hearing what Zhou Ming said, Ball was relieved. He told reporters: In order to be at the forefront of the times, our Aipai Company often cooperates with other small companies and gives them technology and products to them for publicity, so as to stimulate the renewal of our own technology, so that we can better maintain our vitality. This is very important.
Zhou Ming still smiled and said: Aipai Company is indeed a great company. The most important thing is that after they hand over the products and technologies to us for exhibition, they will also provide us with complete supporting technical services.
This is inevitable, because I don’t look down on you. Ordinary small companies cannot control the products and technologies of our Aipai Company. Now, in a critical place like the Science and Technology Exhibition, we will of course give you great technical support. In the end, Ball did not forget to boast about it. This is the responsible attitude of our Aipai Company.
Zhou Ming also said: That's right, Aipai Company not only provides services and help to us at the Science and Technology Exhibition, but if we sign any orders at the Science and Technology Exhibition, they will provide free help wholeheartedly as Mr. Ball said just now.
Ball nodded subconsciously at first, then reacted and said in surprise: When did I say that
Just now, Zhou Ming said, Didn’t Mr. Ball just say that Aipai Company is a responsible company? So, aren’t you going to be responsible for the support provided to us at the Science and Technology Exhibition? Or is it that Mr. Ball just said this in front of the media on purpose. In fact, you have other plans and are deliberately deceiving us.
Of course, there was no deception to Ball, but our understanding may be different.
What else can be different? Zhou Ming said innocently that in our cooperation agreement, there is a clear idea. At this technology exhibition, Aipai Company is responsible for providing us with technical and product support, as well as all supporting support, while Jeko Company has to pay 10 million US dollars for this. Does Mr. Ball mean that we spend 10 million US dollars just to buy these products and technology, and temporarily put them here for exhibition? Or do I need to come up with our contract to prove that we are truly comprehensive cooperation?
Zhou Ming's words made the scene suddenly in an uproar. All the reporters raised their hands in surprise and shot at Ball frantically.
Faced with so many media, Ball knew that he had no way out. He knew that once he nodded, not only would the image he had just built was destroyed, but he was afraid that the brand image of Aipai Company would also be destroyed.
