Chapter 195 Do You Want It For Free?
In the office, Keller did not question Jiang Deming Xingshi, but politely gave Jiang Deming and Xu Zheng a cup of coffee.

"Sorry, I only have American style here, and I don't know if it suits your taste."

"It's okay!" Jiang Deming waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I don't drink this, so just tell me what you want, I'm very tight on time."

Keller's expression froze, and he tried his best to maintain a smile, and said, "I just heard the content of your chat with my colleague. Sir, you seem to know our new type of computer very well?"

"It's okay, I just did some research, and the main reason is that your machines have too many problems." Jiang Deming said helplessly.

hehe!Keller sneered in his heart, and he almost believed it.

He can tell so many shortcomings of their new IBM products at one time, and he believes that he is an engineer of IBM.

If you haven't been deeply involved in this project, how can you know so much.

Although Keller is also one of the researchers, many of the flaws mentioned by Jiang Deming made him feel a little dizzy.

"Sir!" Keller unconsciously increased his tone, and then felt that this might not be good for him, and lowered his voice, saying: "I wonder if you have time to visit our headquarters? I think the designers of our company , will definitely be willing to discuss these issues with you.”

Jiang Deming gave Keller a sideways glance, deliberately emphasized his tone, and said, "But my time is precious!"

Keller is a researcher, but he also has a good talent in business, otherwise IBM would not have sent him to be in charge of this exhibition. He understands what Jiang Deming means, and the discussion is fine, and it must be beneficial!
"Sir, you may not know about our IBM company. For this project, we have invested nearly 50 billion knives, which is 2.5 times that of the Manhattan Project, which is enough to prove our determination to do a good job in this project."

The implication is that their IBM company is not short of money.

But Jiang Deming knew that it was precisely because of the huge investment in this project, although it also gained good profits later, that made this 360 computer a classic.

But compared to the energy and time they put in, it was not worth the loss. After that, IBM never hosted a project with such a huge investment like 360.

In the end, I even gave up on hardware manufacturing altogether.

However, after hearing Keller's words, Jiang Deming still shook his head and said, "I believe that, but going to Armonk is too much trouble, I have a proposal, you can consider it."

"You say."

"I can write down 360's defects and ways to improve it for you, but you need to pay some price."

Keller was silent for a while. If Jiang Deming dared to say that, the price would definitely not be low.

For this project, IBM is almost selling their iron. If Jiang Deming can really improve the defects of 360, they are willing to pay some price. Compared with the investment of 50 billion US dollars, the rest can only be regarded as small money.

What made him hesitate was, does the Asian in front of him really have this ability?
Seeing Keller's hesitation, Jiang Deming smiled. He wasn't sure about it.

But just now, he remembered that he hadn't signed in today, so he stood beside the 360 ​​machine and chose to sign in.

Then, the system packaged and sent him the defects and improvement methods of this machine.

Jiang Deming was instantly ecstatic. With this thing, he can hold IBM.

But you can't release everything at once, or IBM will send someone to tie him back.

Just think about who IBM's partners are.

You can pull it, but you have to have a certain limit. If you pass it, it will easily hit the street.

Jiang Deming was not prepared to wait for Keller's reply, he snapped his fingers at Xu Zheng, and Xu Zheng immediately took out the paper and pen from the briefcase he was carrying.

In front of Keller, Jiang Deming listed several defects of the 360 ​​machine on paper, and attached solutions.

These are just minor problems, even if there is no Jiang Deming, with the help of IBM engineers, it can be solved with a little time.

And what Jiang Deming has to do is to save them this time.

Keller understood this, and after Jiang Deming finished writing, he immediately handed over the paper to his subordinates for verification.

It didn't take long for the verified answer to come back.

The problems mentioned by Jiang Deming do exist, and the solutions given are also feasible.

In this way, the way Keller looked at Jiang Deming changed again. Reminiscent of the series of questions he said earlier, Keller knew that this was something he could no longer decide on.

You can only contact the headquarters and let them make a decision.

In front of Jiang Deming, Keller discussed with IBM's current president and chief engineer on the phone for a while, then he pressed the microphone and asked Jiang Deming: "Sir, can you tell me your needs? We at IBM always like to communicate. Friends, I am also happy to help friends solve some things."

"Although this machine has many problems, I'm still very interested, but I don't have much money with me. I wonder if your company can borrow a few machines?"

How many?Keller was speechless for a while. The price of their 360 is 300 million knives. Even if the cost is only counted, it is not a small number.

This young Asian really dared to speak.

However, Jiang Deming's conditions have not been mentioned yet. When Keller was thinking about it, he continued: "In addition, I spent a lot of thought and money on researching these improvement methods. Can your company pay for my expenses?"

"..."

Keller almost rolled his eyes in front of Jiang Deming. He had already investigated it just now. In the sales records, he could not find the name of this person at all. Not even a single machine was sold to Asia. Although several companies have intentions, they are still negotiating, and it is still a question whether they can make a deal.

After shaking his head, Keller relayed Jiang Deming's request to his superior.

Listening to the voice coming from the microphone, Keller said yes a few times and ended the call.

He put down the microphone, looked at Jiang Deming and said, "Jiang, our supplier is willing to lend you two machines for your research. In addition, for the problems you found, as long as we can provide solutions, we will price them according to the seriousness of the problems. The minimum price is [-]." , the highest price is [-], what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, but the machine alone is not enough. I hope you can also send professional personnel to teach me how to use it and take care of daily maintenance." Jiang Deming said.

Keller felt that Jiang Deming had made him lose his temper. With his professionalism, he still doesn't know how to operate and maintain it?What a joke!
Shameless, so shameless!

But millions of machines have been given, and it is impossible for Keller to give up the deal because of this matter. Isn't it just a few people? He has nothing else in IBM, just a lot of talents!
