He looked at Zhou Shuo in disbelief. He had never seen such a person in the mall for so many years. He didn't even knock on the bamboo robberies he sent to the door. Could it be that his head was sick?

However, the next moment, Hoffman knew that it was not Zhou Shuo who had a head sick, but him.

"At least, it's a 50% increase?" Zhou Shuo smiled contemptuously and said, "Otherwise, how can I explain to the three joint venture companies? The price of the partners' purchases is not as low as their competitors. In this case, how can I cooperate with others in the future?"

"Ah?" Hoffman said dumbfounded: "This price is too high, right? 50%, we will have no profit."

"It's not high anymore. Joint ventures still have to bear the cost of standard promotion." Zhou Shuo knocked on the table and asked jokingly: "They are promoting technical standards in front. You can't say nothing about SBC, right? Although the profit may be a little lower, at least SBC has kept the existing market. This is the most important thing."

"This, okay." Hoffman was a mute and could not say what he had to suffer.

No matter how high the promotion costs of the three alliances are, they do not need to increase by 50%. This is obviously Zhou Shuo took the opportunity to blackmail, but whoever made SBC not eat hot is now able to pay tuition fees.

Zhou Shuo didn't wait for his words to finish, and hurriedly continued: "Also, the payment for the goods must be paid first."

"This—" Hoffman clenched his fists and calmed down his mood: "There is no such reason in the market. SBC always pays for the goods. At most, we can pay a deposit."

"The patent authorization fee for the joint venture is paid first. SBC can't let me advance the payment, right?" Zhou Shuo looked at Hoffman with a expressionless face.

"That's not your wallet?" Hoffman couldn't help but feel angry and said, "It's just that the left hand is just a right hand, and it's not really costing."

Hoffman was really a little unbearable. He had never experienced such a completely disadvantaged negotiation in his career. Who is SBC? When did he be so humble to be played with by others? Not to mention paying in advance for purchasing, it is a gift for all the products of a company that he likes.

"The patent licensing fees of the other three companies are paid in advance." Zhou Shuo sneered and said sarcastically: "Mr. Hoffman, who do you care about this patent licensing fee? You should know that business is business, and there is no one who can talk about it."

In the face of Zhou Shuo's tough attitude, Hoffman woke up that this was not an ordinary negotiation. From the perspective of SBC, they could not afford to lose this time.

"Okay, I will convey this condition to the sbc board of directors. Whether it can be passed is not something that I can decide at my level." Hoffman nodded weakly and said in frustration.

"Of course, you don't need to make a decision now. But it's better to hurry up. I think prodigy will also be interested in this share of my share."

Seeing that Hoffman's face suddenly changed color, Zhou Shuo smiled and did not continue to threaten, and said, "In addition, I have another thing here, I need Mr. Hoffman's help. Regarding the construction of the network dedicated line, you see..."

Hoffman wiped the fine hair and sweat on his forehead, and when he heard his request, his face turned much better. He was not afraid of Zhou Shuo begging him, but was afraid that Zhou Shuo would not beg for him. If he had found an alternative to network access, he would have no bargaining chips at all.

"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to use the telephone line to pull a fiber optic line first." Hoffman said sincerely.

"No, no, Mr. Hoffman, you misunderstood." Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said, "Not only is Seattle a city, I hope every county that can be laid on the SBC telephone network has a dedicated computer room. Of course, the dedicated computer room in Seattle here is the largest, and 10g bandwidth is the minimum requirement. Each county must have at least a 100m machine room. Large counties like Los Angeles need to configure a dedicated line with a 1g bandwidth..."

Hoffman said in a daze: "This is a big investment! And it involves too much, and I can't make a decision."

Zhou Shuo laughed and said, "Of course, I didn't expect you to agree immediately. As long as Mr. Hoffman conveyed my request to the senior management of SBC."

"Okay." Hoffman nodded in frustration and agreed, deeply hated his greed.

If he hadn't turned off Zhou Shuo's request and planned to make some kickbacks for his wallet, he wouldn't have had such a stiff relationship with him. If he had known that his business was so large, he would have completed this business and promoted another position.

Or at the beginning, he didn't want to monopolize the transaction commission and buy patents at the price. At this time, the three alliances might be the three ISP service providers who revolved around SBC.

No matter which of these two items can successfully complete the task, it is a great deal on his resume. Unfortunately, SBC has a good hand in his hand and has made him lose completely.

"Then I'm waiting for the good news from Mr. Hoffman. I hope SBC won't disappoint me." Zhou Shuo narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Mr. Zhou, please rest assured. I will do my best to convince the company's senior management." Hoffman nodded with a diligent smile.

"Then let's stop here today. It's a pity that none of you can agree to my conditions." Zhou Shuo shook his head in disappointment.

Hoffman lowered his head awkwardly when he saw it, and said guiltily: "I'm really sorry, my level is really not enough to make these decisions."

"I understand." Zhou Shuo opened the door and sent Hoffman out, watching him disappear little by little at the end of the corridor.

"Zhou'er, the program you mentioned has been developed. Do you want to go and take a look?" Shao Shiming walked out of the room next to him and happened to see Zhou Shuo standing against the door.

"Oh? It's done? So fast!" Zhou Shuo asked in surprise.

"Of course, everyone has grown mushrooms these days. I finally have to do something, but I still have to work hard?" Shao Shiming said with a laugh.

"It's great, take me to see it. By the way, how is the effect? ​​Have you tried it?" Zhou Shuo asked Shao Shiming as he walked.

"Of course, I'm going to use it now!" Shao Shiming said with a sarcastic look: "I really never thought that the game can still be played like this!"
