Chapter 188 The secret of pretending to be b

"As far as I know, Mr. Brown, Hamlet does not seem to be a compliment." Zhou Ming said with a wry smile.

"Is that true? But as Mr. Zhou Ming, you said himself, my words do not have the so-called positive or negative meaning, but only how you judge."

Brown laughed and teased, then he said seriously: "But in my opinion, I still like you very much, because in today's impetuous society, everyone is competing to be Hamlet in the eyes of others; just like your friend, he believes whatever I say, and does not think about it by himself, forgetting that every Hamlet has his most unique characteristics."

Cheng Qian blushed at this, but Brown said to him the novel: "You don't need to feel sad about it, because you are just an ordinary person, but this Mr. Zhou Ming is the one who truly sees through this world and can truly not be with the dirty people!"

For Brown's praise again and again, even if Zhou Ming was so embarrassed, he said to Brown: "I think I am just a little paranoid and cannot reach any height, especially the height of seeing through the world. And I asked Mr. Brown to come out with Mr. Cheng Qian today, and there are indeed problems that Mr. Brown needs to help us answer."

"But in my opinion, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are not paranoid, but a kind of attachment to the truth!"

After saying that, Brown sat back in his seat, and after a while he continued, "As for Mr. Zhou Ming's question, I think I know it is a project to update the equipment and software systems of our logistics department information database?"

Zhou Ming was not surprised that Brown could say it so directly. After all, even in Silicon Valley, a project worth 2 million is not a small number, and there will definitely be many companies to compete. Brown, as the most important direct person in this project, naturally became the primary breakthrough target for various companies. So under the bombardment of countless information about eating and chatting, he naturally formed a subconscious reaction.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "Yes, let's get to know Mr. Brown. I am Zhou Ming, the new first vice president of Jeko. I don't know how much hope you think I have for this project."

Brown raised his eyebrows meaningfully: "It seems that you are really different from others. At least until now, no one has ever asked me how much hope he has when he saw me. This is a mess!"

Brown was scolding Zhou Ming for his lack of rules, but he was not angry and said happily: "But please forgive me for saying that Mr. Zhou Ming, if you just sit down and chat with me like this, then I can be sure that you have no hope, because first of all, you have too many competitors, and secondly, in this project, I only have suggestions but no decision-making power, and I cannot make the decision directly on your documents."

"This is the most important reason why I made a special trip to meet Mr. Brown today." Zhou Ming asked him, "I really want to know other people in your company, including the Mr. President who really made the decision."

Faced with Zhou Ming's problem, Brown looked up and stared at him a few times and said, "For Hamlet, I can introduce a few people to you, but don't think I will sell the interests of the company and make any dirty deals with you."

Zhou Ming smiled and said thank you. Brown then told Zhou Mingsai some basic situations of Folk Company, which was similar to what Zhou Ming knew through other channels. This company is a large investment company, and its chairman and president are not the same person.

Xilai is the chairman of the company, the founder of the company and the final judge of all major affairs; while Liboteng is the president of the company, or it would be more appropriate to call him the executive president. He is responsible for all the daily affairs of the company. If he encounters major affairs related to the company's strategic direction, although he has the right to deal with the temporary disposal, he will eventually have to submit it to the board of directors, that is, let Xilai make the final decision.

"In addition to Chairman Shire and President Liboten, there is another name that is very important, and he is Cam." Brown reminded.

"Financial Director?" Zhou Ming blurted out.

Obviously, Zhou Ming had done some research on SaiFok in advance and had at least several major names in his heart. Brown was not surprised by this. He nodded and said, "He is the financial director, but he is also one of the founders of the company. He has all the funds of the company. Without his consent, even President Liboten, he can mobilize the funds within the company very limited."

Brown thought about it and said, "There are many other people in the company, but compared to them, the impact other people can exert too little on the company's major decisions. Especially this project is only for the information database, and many departments do not participate at all, so it is mainly these three people."

Zhou Ming thanked Brown. Through Brown's introduction, he could basically imagine the situation of Saifolk in his mind: Chairman Shire looked down on all the employees of the company, that is, his subjects, while President Liboten and Director Cam's financial officers performed their duties and checked and balanced each other like the left and right ministers.

"Thank you, I don't have to. I just like Hamlet, and I just provide you with some information you can find." Brown said, "But there is another thing I think I must remind you that this time the information library equipment and software upgrades are updated. Because the previous processing was too slow, your plan must ensure the stability and advanced of the entire project, and also ensure compatibility with the previous equipment."

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "I think you can rest assured that Mr. Brown is the top priority of our work!"

While talking, Zhou Ming gave Cheng Qian a wink. Cheng Qian knew very well that the violin artist played the Canon again. Then, in the melodious music, Zhou Ming and Brown finished the dinner together.

"I wonder if Jeko will also participate in the IT Technology Exhibition three days later? Because President Liboteng will go to the exhibition in person for inspection. Perhaps he will take this opportunity to select the company and plan he thinks is the most suitable. I will accompany you at that time. I am very much looking forward to Mr. Zhou Ming and Jeko's performance at that time. Goodbye."

Leaving the last sentence, Brown and Hawyce got in the car and left the restaurant. Cheng Qian stared blankly as the car Brown and Hawyce disappeared at the end of the road and said with emotion: "I really can't believe it. I didn't expect that Mr. Brown would reveal such important news in the end!"

Then Cheng Qian turned the slogan and continued: "But this time, thanks to Vice President Zhou, you, I always thought that I had already made good achievements in classical literature these days, but I was not taken seriously by Mr. Brown at all."

Speaking of this, Cheng Qian smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It seems that this temporary cram is still fake. Fortunately, Vice President Zhou, you really know classical literature. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to sit down and chat with Mr. Brown this time, let alone get such important information."

"Classic literature? Are you talking about Hamlet? I want to say that I don't know if you believe it?" Zhou Ming said.

Cheng Qian was stunned at the time, looking as if he was incredible as seeing aliens: "How is this possible? Didn't Mr. Brown just now say that Vice President Zhou, you are the real Hamlet? And you also told him so many classic dialogues in Hamlet. If you don't really remember Hamlet, how could you say it casually?"

"I really don't understand Hamlet." Zhou Ming thought about it and asked Cheng Qian, "Don't you feel familiar with the dialogues I said?"

Facing Zhou Ming's rhetoric, Cheng Qian was stunned again. He had no idea what Zhou Ming's question meant, so he could only answer: "It seems to be a little familiar. It seems that I remember these too..."

Before Cheng Qian finished speaking, Zhou Ming said to him: "Don't be so unconfident. The dialogues I said in front of Mr. Brown are the classic dialogues you picked out."

"So that's it. I'm very familiar with these sentences..."

Cheng Qian's words came to an abrupt end. He looked at Zhou Ming with horror, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't believe it.

Zhou Ming smiled and said to him: "It seems you have guessed it. I really don't understand Hamlet. The reason why I say these dialogues is that I only know these dialogues."

Although Cheng Qian had thought of this just now, when Zhou Ming said it himself, he still felt very incredible, because he couldn't imagine how a man who clearly didn't understand Hamlet could conquer a person who knew very well about classical literature with a few conversations he had just crammed. This logic simply doesn't make sense!

Zhou Ming saw Cheng Qian’s doubts, so he suddenly asked: “Do you know what the secret to pretending to be a b?”

Faced with Zhou Ming's sudden problem, Cheng Qian felt that his brain could not keep up with Zhou Ming's rhythm at all. Wasn't he still discussing Hamlet and classical literature just now? Why did he suddenly get involved in pretending to be a B? What's the secret to pretending to be a B? Is there any secret to this thing? For these questions, Cheng Qian suddenly felt that he was as mentally retarded as a primary school student, and could only shake his head blankly.

This time, Zhou Ming did not keep Cheng Qian in a silence. He told Cheng Qian: "The most important thing in installing a b is to install a b when it should be installed, and don't pretend to be a b when it should not be installed."

Zhou Ming's words were a bit of a tongue twister, but Cheng Qian suddenly realized: "I understand, Vice President Zhou, what you mean is that I have said too much before."

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "That's right, since you first saw Mr. Brown, you kept proclaiming in front of him how passionate about classical literature and art, and even took the initiative to take out the collector's version of Hamlet. This is too fake and hypocritical, and you can see it by yourself. Moreover, you don't know Hamlet at all, so if you say this in front of him, wouldn't you say more and more wrong?"

"But I didn't do this. I just left him with Hamlet's lines when he was about to leave, that's all." Zhou Ming said.

"But just one sentence that popped up suddenly is enough?" Cheng Qian still couldn't understand.

"You have to remember that you are facing a completely unknown client, and you are not a university professor who gives him a speech. He will not and will not be in the mood to listen to your long speeches. You must learn to give him the greatest impact and surprise within one or two sentences, so that he can illuminate you and want more desire to chat with you, otherwise you will easily fail." Zhou Ming said to Cheng Qian.

Every word of Zhou Ming hit Cheng Qian's heart like a morning bell and evening drum, giving him a feeling of enlightenment.

"I remember, thank you very much for Mr. Zhou Ming!" Cheng Qian said to Zhou Ming very solemnly.

Indeed, when facing unknown customers, you cannot make a long speech like a speech. You must use the most refined and simple language to point directly to the key points to the hearts of customers most effectively. But everyone understands this principle, but not everyone can do it in reality.
