Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth
Panxing’s bid for Telfort’s network project has been reported recently by many media. The public has also attracted widespread attention for the important project of communication networks that may be handed over to a Chinese company. However, the Netherlands is the most liberalized country after all, a country that can openly openly, a country that can sell soft, poisonous and euthanasia.
In such a country, no matter how powerful the media propaganda is, it is impossible for everyone to hold the same view. Anyway, public intellectuals and anarchists will never disappear.
There are people who oppose the handover of the project to Panxing Company, people who oppose political interference in commercial freedom, and more people who are so-called, believe that since the bidding rules have been set long ago, they should follow the rules.
In mid-November, Telfort Company finally completed the entire preparation process for the bidding. The time for the second phase of bid evaluation was determined, and the entire project finally saw the final conclusion.
Panxing Europe Company mobilized the entire process to make complete preparations for the next second stage of bid evaluation. The so-called second stage of bid evaluation means rating the entire bidding plan. The first stage of bid evaluation is to determine that the bidder is qualified to be shortlisted, and then conduct qualification review, that is, sending an inspection team to inspect the bidder. Finally, the second stage of bid evaluation, and the results of this stage will basically determine the winning bidder.
As time goes by, the bid evaluation time of the second stage is getting closer and closer, and finally arrives at this critical moment before everyone is about to collapse.
After months of communication and revision, the final version of the bid will be delivered to Telfort. Who will be borne by this project in one week.
"Ready?"
"It's ready!"
Half of the final bidding team was Chinese, and half were local Dutch employees. They used their work and hard work to prove their reliability and value. Zhou Shuo looked at the tired and slightly disfigured people in the conference room, and his mood couldn't help but become solemn.
"Thank you for your persistence and hard work. Regardless of whether the results of Panxing Company's bid are successful, Panxing Company's strategy of developing the European market will not change. You are the first batch of employees of Panxing Company in Europe and will also be the most senior veterans in the company. The market is changing, and I can't give you too much guarantee. But one thing is that I can guarantee you, that is, your efforts will definitely be rewarded! Thank you everyone!"
After Zhou Shuo said that, he bowed deeply.
"Mr. Zhou, the time is up." The person who spoke was Robert, deputy general manager of Panxing Holland. That is the nephew of the Amsterdam MP Mr. Luke. He did not have much technical ability, but he was still very useful in dealing with people and establishing good relations with local forces.
In order to try to downplay the Chinese color of Panxing Company itself, there are only two Chinese people, Zhou Shuo and Li Baogui, who delivered the bid today. The others, from Robert, are all authentic Dutch people. These people are not only tall and outstanding in appearance, but also blonde and blue-eyed, and they are purebred at first glance.
Zhou Shuo nodded and handed over the bound bid to his own file package. Finally, he looked at the Chinese engineers who were left behind, and then turned around and pushed open the door and walked out.
Telfort and Panxing Company are very close. It takes only a ten-minute walk to reach Telfort's headquarters.
Today, not only are the people from Telfort Company welcomed the two bidders, but there are actually many reporters appearing at the gate of Telfort Company.
"Mr. Palunde, the people from Panstar have appeared." Schofield, a Dutch employee of Ericsson holding a small telescope, suddenly turned around and said to Palunde in the rear seat.
"I inform Mr. Orvemas that it's time for him to appear." Palund took the telescope and looked at Zhou Shuo and his party who were walking from a distance, nodded and said lightly.
Zhou Shuo led Panxing Company and his group to the gate of Telfort Company. Before he could see the reception staff, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Is it Mr. Zhou Shuo from China? Can the network equipment you produce ensure safety? Is it possible that it will be influenced by the Chinese government and steal high-tech information from Europe?"
"Hello Mr. Zhou, what do you think about this issue when some European newspapers accusing your network equipment of unsafe?"
"Does Panxing have evidence to prove that its products are safe? Is there any possibility of leaking technical details under political pressure?"
...
Seeing that the boss was surrounded by a group of reporters, Robert hurriedly took his subordinates over and isolated everyone. However, before Zhou Shuo continued to walk into the office building of Telfort, he was blocked by a white-haired old man walking out of the door.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Shuo of Panxing Company, I am City Councilman Orvemas, and I want to verify with you some questions."
Although this old man with gray hair looks a little old, he is not old at all. He is very tough and tall, with a gentle manner. His white hair sets off his wisdom and spirit.
"It's Mr. Orvimas--"
When the reporters around him saw the old man, they immediately became quiet. Robert frowned and quietly told Zhou Shuo's origin in his ear.
The Netherlands is one of the few countries with overseas colonies today. The city councillor Mr. Orvemas even participated in World War II when he was young. He was stationed in the Netherlands overseas and was the commander of the small squadron of Lerondo at that time. But it was this small squadron that severely damaged a German sneak attack fleet under the command of Orvemas...
As a result, after the war, Orvimas became a hero and even commander of one of the two naval squadrons and fleets in the army. After retiring, he participated in politics and was a famous hawk and is now a very important figure in the Amsterdam City Council.
"Hello, Mr. Ovemas, I am Zhou Shuo. It's a great honor to see you." Zhou Shuo smiled and reached out and walked forward with the initiative.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Shuo." Ovemas shook his hands politely with Zhou Shuo, and then said straight to the point: "I was entrusted by the Cybersecurity Committee of the Amsterdam City Council. I want to ask you a few questions about the information security issues of your company's network engineering construction of Telfort."
Ovemas waved his hand and said to the reporter below: "Mr. Zhou Shuo's answer is also very interesting, so why not listen to it together."
Wow—
Hearing his words, the reporters below began to run up the steps one after another. The employees of Panxing Company did not dare to stop him anymore. After all, they were not for Zhou Shuo, but for Ovemas in name. Stopping the reporter from "interviewing" Ovemas, the crime was a big deal.
Surrounded by reporters again, Zhou Shuo did not have much panic expression and smiled faintly: "Mr. Ovemas has any questions, just ask me if I have any questions. I will give you a satisfactory answer to the citizens of Amsterdam."
"Okay, then I'll ask. Recently, many media have expressed their questions about the cooperation between Panxing and Telfort, believing that Panxing's products have problems with network security."
Ovemas looked at Zhou Shuo with confidence and asked with a meaningful smile: "I don't know about this. Does Mr. Zhou Shuo have anything to say? Can you provide evidence of the safety and reliability of your products?"
After all, Ericsson has fallen to this point. Zhou Shuo shook his head and felt a little moved. Who is Ericsson? One of the three mobile phone giants, an existence on par with Nokia and Motorola, was forced to this point by Panxing Company. If we can gain advantages in technology or business model, why would Ericsson Dutch take such an external move?
From this point of view alone, Zhou Shuo does not think it is a difficult situation, but the glory of Panxing Company.
But this does not mean how easy this question is to answer. Zhou Shuo thought about it and said cautiously: "Our products were sent to the laboratory of Telfort before the second bid evaluation. Telfort's laboratory was approved by relevant Dutch departments. The equipment they tested showed that it complies with the Dutch network access requirements."
Ovemas had obviously done his homework a long time ago, so he immediately retorted: "But what Telfort only detects whether the equipment has defects. I'm afraid it cannot be completely detected whether the equipment has a back door. If your equipment has a back door that is deliberately hidden, it is normal not to detect it."
"Panxing Company should show evidence that it has not set up a backdoor, otherwise it may not be able to explain that its products have no safety risks."
Zhou Shuo smiled angrily, rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "No company in the world has this evidence. It is like asking the author to prove that the work was written by himself. He could not produce any powerful evidence except for his own mouth. The draft can be forged, and the content can be guided by relatives or someone. Only the desk lamp can witness this process on countless creative nights."
