Chapter 547 - Big Business Delivered to the Door (Page 1/1)
Under the nervous gazes of Henry, Nelson and Kawa, Chen Geng finally raised his head: "So you think the mastermind behind this matter is most likely General Motors?"
"Yes. โ
"That's right. โ
............
The three of Nelson nodded in unison, and at the same time looked at Chen Geng expectantly: According to the contract signed by the two parties, the investigation is here, and this is considered to be the completion of the first phase of the investigation task, and Mr. Fernandez should pay.
Chen Geng didn't deliberately set up any obstacles for the $100,000, he didn't even bother to sign the check, he directly took out a stack of fixed cash checks, tore out 10 of them and handed them to the three of them.
Looking at the cash check for $10,000 in their hands, the three Nelson were full of joy, and they were not worried that the money would not be able to be cashed at all. Nelson, who was the leader, patted his chest and said to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, please rest assured, I, we promise to send you the next stage of the situation as soon as possible." โ
Chen Geng smiled and nodded.
........................
After sending off the three Nelson, Chen Geng thought about it, picked up the phone and called Jotson.
"I'm Jotson, who are you?"
"Jotson, I'm Fernandez. โ
"Fernandez?" Hearing that it was Chen Geng, Jotson's voice suddenly became happy: "Ha...... My friend, what a pleasure to receive your call, seriously, brother, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, why don't we have a drink together?"
Chen Geng was a little surprised, why haven't I seen this guy for a while, this guy Jotson has suddenly become so enthusiastic? What he was going to say was put aside for the time being, Chen Geng said with a smile: "Old Joe, you don't beat my idea, let me tell you, I don't have anything to sell to the Pentagon bigwigs in the recent period." โ
"Fernandez, my friend, what do you call me Jotson?" Joterson cried out, "We're friends! Best friends! You don't know how sad it makes me say that?"
Chen Geng couldn't help but pout: I believe you are a big-headed ghost!
What is a broker?
Brokers are a bunch of bastards who have milk and mothers, one moment they call you brothers, but the next moment, when they can't make any money from you, they will immediately kick you away without hesitation!
Brothers?
Hehe......
In Jotson's eyes, with the thinkcenter personal computer and "CP/M+ trackball + indos" visual operating system and various application software selling well in the market, the current Fernandez is no different from the beginning, he has changed from a "relatively good partner" to a "partner who must firmly hold the thigh": like this rich and generous, And where to find a partner with a thriving career?
Of course, the broker also knows what he looks like in other people's hearts, but it doesn't matter, Joterson's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his heart, and before Chen Geng could speak, Joterson lowered his voice: "My brother, do you know the news?"
Well?
Chen Gengleng paused: What news do I know?
Of course, Chen Geng would not ask "what news" stupidly, but muttered for a few seconds before he spoke: "......What are you talking about?"
But Chen Geng still underestimated Jotson's sensitivity, there is no way, people eat this bowl of rice, Chen Geng's deep groaning in these few seconds made Jotsen immediately understand that Fernandez didn't know about it, he lowered his voice and said to Chen Geng: "The Ministry of Defense is discussing the purchase of a batch of personal computers to improve office efficiency, and the total number is not less than 5,000." โ
Hiss!
Chen Geng gasped!
5000 units?
It's a big business with a total value of not less than $200 million!
Some brothers said Did you miscalculate? The retail price of a single Thinkcenter unit is only more than $2,000 per unit, and the Department of Defense has to bid for large-scale purchases, so why do you have to lower the unit price by two or three hundred dollars, right? The total contract amount is a little more than $100 million, why is it more than $200 million?
At first glance, this is true, but in practice, it is not the case.
First of all, what kind of unit is using these computers? The Pentagon, as the brain of the US military and the core unit of the United States, can the computers used be the same as those sold on the market? What military-specific requirements such as anti-theft and shielding must also be present?
Well, with this layer, there's a lot of room to maneuver in:
What do you say? The ordinary shielded wire on the market is 50 cents a meter? Can the ordinary civilian shielded wire of 50 cents a meter meet the requirements of the military? The military-grade shielded wire must be purchased for 2 dollars a meter!
Considering the special use requirements of the Ministry of Defense, the electronic components inside must be specially customized models, and the cost of a motherboard is so-so, and it is not impossible to triple it, maybe five times......
............
In this way, a personal computer with a market price of 2,498 US dollars, the purchase unit price of the Department of Defense reached 5,000 US dollars, it is not surprising, you still don't have to question, these special requirements are written into the public bidding documents, since there are special requirements, it means that the cost is rising, do you have an opinion?
As for how the extra selling price is divided among the layers, that's another matter, anyway, people can always get a good reason for doing so: for example, the U.S. military only provided American GIs with a bottle of bottled water for two dollars a bottle on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and the reasons were written for more than a dozen pages, each of which was sufficient and detailed, making you think that it was a heinous crime not to provide bottled drinking water to American GIs on the Afghan battlefield......
But the question is, is it really necessary to buy bottled water? Even if it has to be bottled, why not from Huaxia, which is next to Afghanistan, but from Southeast Asia?
There's a lot of stuff in here!
Chen Geng has seen and heard a lot about the US military government and military procurement, and when he heard the news of Jotson, he immediately understood what a big cake it was, and instantly forgot to ask Joterson about Ivan Caruso...... Compared to 5,000 personal computers, Ivรกn Caruso is a fart!
"Is the news confirmed?" Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "Brother, why don't we cooperate?"
Joterson grinned: It's a pleasure to talk to smart people!
He was not worried about Chen Geng's reversal, and immediately said: "The news is true, believe me, I am eating this bowl of rice, but you also know that we are facing a lot of competition." โ
