Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 7 Email
Cathy smiled suddenly. In this slightly serious meeting, there seemed to be a little disharmony. Xiaowei cast his gaze over immediately, waiting for her next words.

The suspected beauty still had a smile on her face, "Xiaowei, today is Thursday, right? Tonight is Teacher Liu's part-time job. You can ask him. Zhang Yong is his junior, and he should have a good relationship."

Oh, Xiaowei nodded, and an angry shadow appeared in his mind.

……

……

Zhang Yong knocked on Jin Taro's door again, "Director, I need to make a long-distance call."

Jin Taro didn't even have the mood to lose his temper with Zhang Yong, he looked coldly at the young man standing at the door who still seemed to have a lot to say. "Go to the front desk and make a call, and pay for it yourself."

Kintaro has already received Tiangong's quotation, so the three-day buffer he envisioned is completely meaningless.He can block Party A's inquiries, and as long as he can solve the problem, he can recover it in three days.But when it comes to maintenance costs, especially with such a large amount of money, he can only report it.

Responsibility is certain, even if everything can be pushed to Zhang Yong, but with such a large expense, he, the director, cannot evade responsibility at all.

If the cost is not high, Kintaro would rather pay for it himself than alarm the leader.What people don't know is that in this era when the average salary is only a few hundred, the low-key Kintaro already earns three thousand a month.He even had a bottom line in his heart, if the repair cost was less than [-], he would pay for it himself, and of course he would also involve Zhang Yong.Although five thousand is not a small sum of money, compared with a flawless official career, it is still worth it.

Zhang Yong didn't understand Jin Taro's complicated mood, but he could understand his dissatisfaction. He tried to explain, "Director, Tiangong's repair fee is very unreasonable. I think we can negotiate with them. I think..."

Jin Taro interrupted Zhang Yong indifferently: "Whatever you think is your own business, you don't need to tell me, you can do what you want, but unless Tiangong Group withdraws the quotation, otherwise you don't have to ask I report anything."

Looking at the back of Zhang Yong going out, Jin Taro added: "Remember that your data processing authority has not been restored, so don't touch any of the devices."

……

Zhang Yong came to the front desk silently, he dialed the paging station in Beijing, called the angry maniac, and then quietly leaned against the front desk and waited.

The aunt at the front desk looked at the big boy with a melancholy face in front of her, and she was inexplicably full of good feelings, so she warmly suggested, "You don't have to stand here, you can go back to your room and wait. When the call comes, I will transfer to your room .”

"Oh, thank you." Zhang Yong returned to the room.

long wait.

The phone finally rang, and the special voice of the madman came from the receiver, "Ah Yong?"

"Brother, do you know it's me?" Zhang Yong's aggrieved heart seemed to be warmed up.

"Nonsense, besides you, who would call me in Suzhou? The research institute doesn't make long distance calls casually. I asked the supervisor for a long time before I unlocked it. Don't you call my office during working hours?"

"Brother, I'm in a hurry."

The maddened man on the other end of the phone suddenly let out a low laugh, "Is it about upgrading the equipment?"

"You know it all?"

"Of course I know. But I don't know why you want me? I can't help you with this matter at all."

"You can definitely help me. The quotation Tiangong gave us is not reasonable at all. I followed the procedures and processes given by Skydon without making any mistakes. I can probably guess where the problem is. It should be a simple matter, but If Tiangong doesn't support it, we can't solve it at all."

"So? What do you want me to do?"

"I want to contact Skydon again, but it's definitely too late to write a letter. Has your research institute started to go online, can you lend me your online account, and I want to send Skydon an email."

The angry madman laughed, and he was quite appreciative in his teasing, "You are not small, you can even surf the Internet, and you can also send emails. Is there a modem on the computer? Also, do you have your own mailbox?"

"I went to the electronic market today and bought a PCMCIA card expansion dial-up modem. As for the mailbox, I checked the information and can register a free one by myself. Brother, please lend me your account, I promise to only use it this time When I return to Beijing, I will open an account and apply for one.”

"Ah Yong, don't think I'm an unprincipled person when you see me playing games in the computer room. This is the account assigned to me by the research institute, and it's state property."

"Who said that society can only progress if there are people who break the rules. I use it and it will not increase the cost of the research institute, but it will solve my problem at the same time, and my problem is also a problem of the public. Brother, this It’s not about taking advantage of the country, it’s about adding value to the cost already paid.”

"Okay", the madman didn't want to waste any more time, "Ah Yong, I will make a second bet with you now, do you remember the first bet?"

"Of course I remember, you bet that I won't stay in the center for a year. What's the bet this time?"

"The first bet has not been concluded, but I have basically won. The second bet, I can use my account for you, but I bet that you will not be able to solve any problems through the Internet."

Zhang Yong's heart tightened, "Brother, I don't care about the first bet, but I don't want to lose the second bet, I want to win."

"I understand very well, but brother, winning or losing is not up to me in many cases. You take a pen and I will tell you the account number and password. Although I don't need to ask you too much, I still have to say something, don't spread it outside."

Zhang Yong quickly wrote down the account number and password, but found that there seemed to be a string of numbers behind, and after counting, it happened to be ten.

"Brother, what is the last string of numbers?"

The angry madman pretended to be profound, "This is a gift from me. If you really can't solve the problem, you might as well try calling this number."

"It's a phone number? So weird."

"Silly boy, this is a mobile phone number, and it's a new global digital phone, not the big brother you saw in the Hong Kong video."

"Whose phone number?"

"I shouldn't be on the public phone for so long. I should hang up. When you need it, call this number, and you will know who it is. Perhaps, the owner of this phone is the only one who can help you solve the problem."

No one spoke on the phone, but Didi's blind voice.Zhang Yong also hung up the phone with a puzzled look on his face.

……

At this time, Lei had returned to Skydon's Asian headquarters in Singapore, but soon received a call from the after-sales executive from Silicon Valley.

There is no actual superior-subordinate relationship between the supervisor and Lei, but Lei's level is equivalent to VP, so the supervisor still called Lei after communicating with his boss first.

"The Chinese sent an email again? You can forward it to me, and I will answer it myself."

The supervisor was very dissatisfied, but he did not refuse Lei's request.

At the monthly meeting a few days ago, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two parties. The supervisor believed that he was only performing his duties, and he believed that it was Skydon’s duty to directly provide technical services to users.

But Lei claimed that China is a closed management system, and their internationalization is very limited, and the so-called reform and opening up has just started in the past few years.This realm has very different rules and order, and everything should be treated separately.

When the supervisor was about to continue to refute, Lei took out his trump card, "I went to China at the end of the 80s and opened up the Chinese market for Skydon. At that time, where were everyone here? After the opening of the Chinese market, Have any of you ever visited China? Do you know the country better, or me?"

The supervisor still retorted, "We have technical support to go to Chinese customers for training every year."

Lei sneered, "Excuse me, who arranged these trainings? Are you yourself? Apart from technical exchanges, have you ever learned about Chinese culture and the market? Do you really know how these customers come from?"

The supervisor was at a loss for words for a moment, while Lei looked at everyone with the attitude of a winner.

An old man stood up in the corner, this is Karl, the first vice president of Sykdon, he came to this meeting room temporarily after receiving some news halfway.

Carl came over with a smile on his face, patted both sides on the shoulders, and the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately eased.

"Hey, Lei, of course I don't know as much as you about Chinese culture, but I still know a little bit. For example, their baijiu is very strong, but these thin-looking orientals have a terrible drinking capacity. Am I right? "

Ray laughed immediately, "Yes, absolutely."

"Okay, don't quarrel, China matters, just do as Lei said. There is no way, Sales will always be the highest status person here." Lei bowed to express his gratitude.

After Lei left, Carl walked up to the supervisor, "Don't care what Lei said, after all, it's his territory, but continue with your work, what's the name of this Chinese man."

"It seems to be Young, oh, no, it's a Chinese name, Yong."

"Very good, continue to communicate with Yong by email, add him to our list, and send him monthly product news. His letters must be forwarded to me, but if there is no consent from me or Lei, Don't reply to him casually. Do you understand?"

The supervisor nodded, "I see."

Carl walked out satisfied, "Don't worry about many things, they will definitely change when it's time to change."

……

Zhang Yong was almost sleepless all night. He dialed up again and again to check if there was any reply to the email, and then disconnected and logged off after being disappointed again and again.He didn't know that his mail had been transferred to Singapore, where there was no time difference with China, and during this time of sleep, the person who should reply to him was also sleeping soundly.

At dawn, Zhang Yong, who was extremely tired, fell asleep instead.

At this time in Beijing, Kintaro's boss, Mr. Cai, just put down the phone call to Professor Tian with a displeased expression on his face.
