"We can poach!" Hao Ge said with a flashing look.

"Died? No, my company can't afford to support five more system engineers!" Raymond shook his head like a rattle, and his attitude was very tough.

"We didn't say that we were going to do this!" Haoge explained: "This Zhou has a conflict with a senior executive of Microsoft. As the saying goes, the enemy is a friend. We can try to cooperate with Mr. Farrell to teach this Chinese boy a lesson!"

When Raymond heard that he didn't have to pay for it himself, he was of course rude. He nodded quickly and said, "Good idea, Microsoft's name is much louder than ours, and if they do it, the success rate will be higher."

The two had decided to make up their plan, and Haoge returned to the Moscow Convention and Exhibition Center and went straight to Farrell's door.

From Farrell's perspective, Zhou Shuo is indeed like a fishbone choked in his throat. Although it is not fatal, it makes him very uncomfortable. On the one hand, he finally got his wish and returned to the operating system project team, but on the other hand, if the facts finally prove that instant messaging software is really promising, then he will undoubtedly bear great pressure if he advocates giving up.

If Zhou Shuo did not leave the United States for one day, he could not guarantee that instant messaging software would not be put into the market for one day. He either cooperated with others or simply operated the project by himself. If he really had the luck to make Zhou Shuo successful, Microsoft would never ignore his serious mistakes because of Farrell's past contributions.

Although he really doesn't believe how successful a Chinese person's idea can achieve in the United States.

After Haoge reported to his family, Farrell patiently listened to him explaining the idea of ​​union.

He listened quietly as Haoge finished his plan, nodded coldly and said, "Okay, Mr. Haoge. I understand this, you can go back."

Haoge was stunned and asked, "Mr. Farrell, you haven't given me a reply yet. Do you agree to the cooperation between the two parties and jointly suppress that Chinese boy?"

Farrell waved his hand and turned back to his office. Although he did not argue on the surface, it did not mean that he did not agree. If he went to target the Northern Dynasties computer company with great fanfare, wouldn’t it mean that he cared about Zhou Shuo’s stay or leave? This itself might have shown enough attention, whether it was for Zhou Shuo himself or for instant communication software.

Theoretically, both human and software should be worthless to Farrell, and he must maintain this consistent attitude.

Back at the office, Farrell picked up the phone, opened the phone book and thought for a while, and decisively dialed the number.

"Hi, Jerry, it's me Farrell..."

Haoge returned to Laco PET Printing Equipment Company and told Raymond the meeting. Before they could figure it out, they heard some noisy voices coming from outside.

Behind Mr. Johnson, a group of people came over. Raymond and Zhou Shuo came out of the office after hearing the sound. Johnson introduced: "These two are Mr. Raymond of ELR and Mr. Joey of Northern Dynasties. They are designing and planning for the development of Laco Company's ERP software. They are both very good guys!"

Turning back, Johnson pointed to a group of people behind him and said: "These are my partners. I saw Microsoft's display of ERP software at the COMDEX exhibition. I hope to integrate our entire industrial chain..."

Raymond's breathing became rapid after hearing this. This was a big business! Look at Johnson, there were twenty or thirty people behind him, involving the entire supply chain upstream and downstream of circuit printing. This is exactly where ERP software comes in! Not to mention the publicity effect caused by the upgrade of such a supply chain management. Whether to eat meat or drink soup, it can be said that it is just a blow!

Raymond looked at him and showed his greatest personal charm. He said happily: "Hello, gentlemen, I am Raymond, the manager of ELR. Although we ELR is a new company, we have at least ten years of experience in enterprise management software. It is definitely your most correct choice!"

I have to say that Raymond's American identity and white face have won him a lot of impressions here. Hearing his introduction, many people showed appreciation and belief, which greatly improved his confidence.

Raymond looked at Zhou Shuo proudly and continued to say: "Sir, software development is a very serious job. ELR will not say those flashy slogans, but we can guarantee that ELR will definitely understand how Americans do business better than anyone else."

This is indeed hitting Zhou Shuo's seven-inches. Localization has always been a hurdle that multinational companies must face. If they cannot get over it, they naturally don't need to mention all their ambitions. He said cautiously: "I would like to ask you guys to pay attention to the Northern Dynasties Company is not a foreign company. Ninety-five percent of our employees are Americans. Our technicians have long-term software design experience and are all very excellent. In fact, the ERP software launched by Microsoft is produced by Northern Dynasties Company. You can consult Mr. James of Microsoft. Of course, these are not the key points. Past achievements can only represent the past. Excellent businessmen must base themselves on the present."

He slowed down and continued: "ERP software has costs as a management tool. There are generally three indicators of this cost, namely technology, time and money. The level of technology determines the cost of operating this system in the future. The development time reflects the strength of a company's technical strength. Of course, the most important cost is the amount of money invested by everyone. If you choose the Northern Dynasties company as a service provider, I guarantee that each individually developed system will charge no more than 100,000 US dollars of service fee."

As Zhou Shuo finished speaking, the crowd was shocked. A service fee of $100,000! What does this mean? At least one-third of the MRPII system cost that everyone is currently using!

Raymond was also shocked. How could this be possible with a hundred thousand dollars? In his experience, the complexity of ERP software is still above the MRPII system. A hundred thousand dollars is just the salary of twenty programmers per month, and the cost of loss must be more than half! Is he so strong in capital that he actually wants to rely directly on low prices to monopolize the industry?

Then he thought of a possibility and asked loudly: "Mr. Zhou, you didn't seem to say the development cycle of 100,000 US dollars, right? 100,000 US dollars is indeed affordable, but are you planning to delay half a year to deliver it to use?"

"Of course not." Zhou Shuo said with his hands spread out: "We can guarantee that the delivery of the software will enter the implementation stage within half a month after the planning plan is determined."

"This is impossible!" Raymond sneered: "Just based on the technical departments of the five of you? I'm afraid it will be almost done in half a year!"

"We can sign a contract." Zhou Shuo spread his hands.

"I..." Raymond gritted his teeth. He wanted to promise results in half a month, but unfortunately this was impossible.

But he couldn't watch Zhou Shuo sign this agreement with them. For a price of 100,000 US dollars, even if the Northern Dynasties company really breached the contract in the end, at most it would pay the liquidated damages, and these business owners would still choose his software. However, if ELR was excluded from the beginning and the ERP software integrated industrial chain model would almost not even be able to drink the soup. At that time, even if someone wanted to transfer the software that the Northern Dynasties company could not be completed to him, the ELR company's body would probably be cold.

At this time, a voice suddenly appeared outside the door and said loudly: "We can also guarantee that it will be delivered and implemented in half a month!"

Everyone turned around and saw a black man walking in from outside the door. The man was dark all over and wore a black suit. Only the shirt exposed on the collar of the suit and his teeth were white. From a distance, he looked like a big tree struck by lightning.

The black man came over, held a business card in his hand, and sent him to everyone. He raised his head and said, "I'll introduce myself. My name is Jerry, the manager of Burkeb Software Company."

He smiled and said to Raymond: "Mr. Raymond, I heard that you have encountered some difficulties in competing with the Chinese. As a patriot, I would like to wish you a handful of strength!"

Raymond didn't expect that he could have no way out, and there was another village with dark flowers and flowers. He said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Jerry, although I don't know who you are, where you come from, and why, I really appreciate your help!"

"You're welcome, as a reward of gratitude, Burkeb hopes to acquire 70% of ELR's shares." Jerry smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"Uh--" Raymond shouted with a flushed face as if he was choked, "You can't do this!"

"I'm sorry." Jerry said to him with an innocent face: "I can."

Yes, he could. Raymond lowered his head in despair. If he could not grasp Jerry's life-saving straw, his entire initial investment would be wasted. Not only would the house be taken away by the bank, but he would also have to owe a large amount of debts. His business reputation went bankrupt, and Haoge would not let him go. He would lose his entire life...

Jerry patted his shoulder and said comfortingly: "Look forward, Mr. Raymond Burkeb is a promising company in the enterprise software industry, and I believe you won't be disappointed."

After saying that, he turned to everyone, smiled confidently and said, "I think we can start signing the contract."
Chapter completed!
