'Mr. Zhou Ming, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but sometimes it would be better to have fewer impractical fantasies and focus more on researching and developing your own products and maintaining your own sales channels ability is just not the ability. It's like a construction worker who insists on designing skyscrapers. Do you think that building can be built? Just the structure and wind and earthquake resistance of a high-rise building is high-tech that he will never understand in his lifetime.
Walking the Forté Technologies exhibition at the Stanford Conference Center, Zhou Mingzheng led Xilai and the others towards the exhibition stand of the Epay company. Since he had already given Xilai the lowdown before, Xilai knew that their goal was the two million project in his company's logistics department. However, Xilai didn't think much of this completely unheard-of Jieke Company, and just kept walking, all the while lecturing Zhou Ming about how young people should behave themselves and not daydream about marrying a rich and beautiful woman.
Liu Qiang, the technical manager, Liu Qiang, the manager of the technical department, didn't really feel anything about what he said, and at most he was a little unconvinced, but Tang Ran was very dissatisfied, because in her eyes, Zhou Ming was the most amazing person in the world. This Xilai is from nowhere, how can he say such things about Zhou Ming?
However, due to what had happened before, and the fact that Zhou Ming didn't react, Tang Ran had to be patient. Her little mouth was pouting in great dissatisfaction, though.
Xilei glanced and saw Tang Ran's discontented pout, which made him even more disdainful: young people are young people, do they really think that they can start a company by just renting an office? They really have no idea . How dare you give me your project like this? I'll talk to a big company about a project in front of you today and teach you a lesson about what a deal is.
With this think, Xilai sighed and continued to say to Zhou Ming, 'My company also grew up from a small company. I can understand your feelings. You always want to do a big project at once. think that if others can do it well, you can do it too, but you never think about what you can do. If you don't do it well, you won't even have the money to pay for the compensation, so who will trust you? If you squander your trust like this, how can you talk about doing business?'
Xilie spoke more and more more and more passionately: 'Young man, don't be offended by what I'm saying to you. I'm only telling you this because I see that you are motivated. you, that normally if someone wants to hear me say this, I won't even bother with them, and I've only given a speech like this at Stanford University...'
Hille's words only ended, because he saw a booth with a lot of people gathered not far ahead. Hilaire pointed in that direction and asked Zhou Ming, 'Is that the booth of Apple Inc.?'
Zhou Ming glanced in that direction and casually replied, 'That is indeed the direction of the Apple Inc. booth.'
In fact, Zhou Ming's was that the direction of the Apple company, but it was not necessarily the Apple company. However, Xilai did not listen carefully to this sentence from Zhou Ming, or perhaps he simply did not bother to listen carefully.
Xilai said to Zhou Ming 'See, that's the booth of a real big company. Because big companies are willing to invest in research and development, their equipment is always up to date. Therefore, at every technology exhibition, the most advanced concept products they display can always attract a lot of attention, and our company's projects are the only ones that such large companies will cooperate on!'
'Is that true ? But it might not really be Apple, it might just be a small company,' asked Zhou Ming with a meaningful smile. Zhou Ming actually had no choice but to be honest.
Hile was very dissatisfied and frowned. Zhou Ming's tone of voice made him very uncomfortable. Xilai said angrily, 'Are you blind? Can't you see all those people over there?'
Xilai pointed his finger and said to Zhou Ming, 'There are so many people gathered around there. In places like this trade fair, it usually means that he is exhibiting something amazing, a new concept product, or even something epoch-making. And only large companies with strong financial resources can exhibit such things.'
'And this place the location is quite good, very close to the main stage. Generally speaking, those who can set up exhibition booths in such a good location are all large and powerful companies. I think Mr. Zhou Ming, your company, Jieke, has participated in this exhibition. You wouldn't know about this, would you?' Xile deliberately asked Zhou Ming, 'Zhou Ming, you were originally going to take me there, so in that case, if it's not Apple Inc., could it be Jacko Inc.?'
Zhou Ming shrugged and said a perhaps, which made Xilai unable to put on his cool appearance anymore, and he mocked Zhou Ming for being ignorant of the world.
Subsequently, Zhou Ming headed towards the crowd with Xilai, and as they got closer and closer, the chatter of the crowd gradually drifted into their ears.
'This notebook computer is really amazing. Look at its all-metal, streamlined shape. Compared to those square, plastic-looking things, it's like something out of a sci-fi . It's so beautiful, I think I'm already in love with him. I really hope that he will go into mass production soon, I can't wait to buy one!'
'What's the appearance is nothing. You should also take a look at his configuration and software. As far as I know, his operating system is not the one we are used to, but another one developed independently by them. And there is a lot of software inside. My God, this is a real internet technology company! security must be the best!
'And this, what is it? Why can I operate the computer screen directly with my hands? This is a touch screen, it's completely sci-fi! This is really that person's company, I feel like I've travelled through time to the future!'
'My God, This is truly epoch-making stuff, it's really incredible. I believe that nothing at this technology exhibition will be more unbelievable than the stuff here. Although these are all concept products from the laboratory, they have already fundamentally subverted my concepts...'
Hearing these exclamations , Hilaire said to Zhou Ming, 'Did you hear that? Everyone there is amazed by these technological products that transcend the times. If it wasn't for the laboratories of big companies like Epine, do you think a random roadside company could make it?'
Zhou Ming still answered with an unnecessary shrug: 'I didn't say that any random company could make it, I just said that it really wasn't Epine.'
Faced with Zhou Ming's completely unconcerned attitude, Xilai almost exploded, but in order to maintain his composure, he suppressed his anger and said to Zhou Ming, 'Are you an idiot? If it's not Epic, It's not Apple, but it's still a big company. Anyway, your Jieke company is rubbish. Don't even think about it. Originally, I saw that you were so dedicated, and I was thinking of giving you some projects, but if you keep this attitude, let me tell you, you can forget about all the projects at Suffolk!'
But when Hillaire gritted his teeth and vented his anger on Zhou Ming, he quickly walked over to the crowd, but suddenly he was dumbfounded because the people surrounding them did not seem to be Epay.
However, Xilai was admit this fact. With a last, futile glimmer of hope, he muttered, 'The company surrounded over there is Apple, right? And the company that no one cares about over here is Jieke?'
However, the product manager from the nearby Apple company's product manager mercilessly shattered his last illusion, saying, 'I don't know what you're talking about. This is the Apple booth. Can't you see our company's logo is so big, our booth is so big, and we have so many products? The booth next to ours is just a small booth of Jacko. It's unbelievable! Why are there so many people here! was clearly just trying to vent his frustration. He couldn't understand why Aipai had chosen to exhibit with a small company, which had attracted so much attention, while his own side of the exhibition had attracted almost no interest.
You have to understand that, although are not equal to sales, but they can give a good indication of market trends. But now that the other side is so successful, and in contrast to his own side, he obviously has to worry about his bonus. And on this premise he finally saw someone coming his way, but then suddenly heard the question that Hile asked in a whisper, and immediately lost his temper and said that outburst.
However, when he said that said in Hile's ears, but it was like a wake-up call to him. Suddenly remembering what he had the words he had said, and suddenly he felt as if those words were slapping him in the face. The punchline was that it was his left hand grasping his right hand and spinning it 360 degrees before slapping it on his left cheek, like a clown doing an acrobatic and funny trick.
Xilai looked back at Zhou Ming: 'You knew it all along, didn't you?'
Zhou Ming shrugged innocently: 'Mr. Hillaire, I've been trying to warn you since the beginning that this may not be the Epay booth, but you just wouldn't believe me. There's nothing I can do.'
Zhou Ming's words, with an innocent expression on his face, gave Hilaire an urge to vomit blood.
Hilaire then vented his anger on Brown's head. He turned his head and angrily said, 'Why didn't you tell me before that Jacko Company is a very powerful and big company?'
Facing Hilaire's groundless unprovoked accusations, Brown was really full of grievances, but that was the chairman of Suffolk, the absolute master of the company. What could the head of the logistics department say?
But Zhou Ming was different Zhou Ming was different. He explained very kindly to Brown, 'Mr. Hillaire, you are wrong to blame Mr. Brown. It's because our company, Jieke, is really not a big company. Our company's performance in the previous few months was less than one million, which is less than one million. It's completely a company on the verge of collapse! As for the fact that we are able to exhibit here and have these concept products is just a little bit of good luck.'
Xilain could hear the sound of his own heart being stabbed hard and bleeding uncontrollably. His heart kept screaming: Who needs your explanation, Timo? Since you are about to close down why don't you just close down and why are you still open for business? And is it just luck that you are exhibiting here with your concept products? Then why don't I have that kind of luck and get those concept products that are ahead of their time?
On the surface, Hile said to Zhou Ming said, 'Do you think it's funny to act like this in front of me? Do you think I'll be surprised, say you're amazing, and beg you like a dog to work with me and give you the logistics upgrade project? I'll tell you, you're delusional!'
Ming was still very guilt: 'Mr. Hille, you seem to have misunderstood. I did want to give you a good hard time, but before I could start, you fell.'
It was as if they had rehearsed it rehearsed, as soon as Zhou Ming's voice fell, someone immediately spotted Zhou Ming over there, and they immediately came over to him, speaking to him one said to him, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, you have finally returned. Your concept is what we want most. We want to collaborate with you on a project!'
Hearing these words, Xilai immediately felt disoriented, because his words had been his last shred of dignity. However, in the end, he discovered that the other person was not even remotely interested. He thought he could scare him with the project, but he probably didn't care about his project at all. This made Xilai want to cry but unable to do so It really was like he said, he had not even started to pretend to be cool, and he had already fallen.
