141 Small gathering before the finalists test
Everyone is doing their own things in an orderly manner according to the plan.
Over the weekend, as soon as Zhang Wei returned to Guangzhou from Foshan, he received a call from Xiao Qiang about the barbecue in Shipai, his old place.
As soon as he heard the location, Zhang Wei knew that it must be him, Xiao Qiang, and Tao Jiang. This has become a tacit understanding among the three of them. As long as they don't have an appointment with anyone else, the three of them will basically choose to meet at this barbecue restaurant.
, if there is one less person, they will choose to eat porridge elsewhere, or find a Western restaurant, teahouse or something.
Although Zhang Wei had been to this barbecue restaurant many times, he was still worried when walking through the village in the city. There was no way, Zhang Wei would always look up to the sky involuntarily when walking in the dark alley.
It feels like something is going to fall from it anytime, anywhere.
When he arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Zhang Wei found that he was the first one to arrive, which made him very uncomfortable. In the past, Xiao Qiang was usually the first one to come and order barbecue and beer. He only needed to add more according to his own situation.
Some meat skewers and kidneys. He obviously has to do the job of ordering in advance today.
Asking the waiter to bring the order menu, Zhang Wei was thinking about what Xiao Qiang had often ordered before, while sketching out the order menu.
"Okay, let's just order this much for now." Zhang Wei felt that he had almost ordered, and handed the low-outlined single menu to the waiter waiting next to him.
The waiter took the order with a smile, checked it with Zhang Wei again, and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately said: "Pretty boy, would you like some drinks?"
Only then did Zhang Wei realize that he had missed the beer, so he said, "Two boxes of Pearl River, one with ice and one without ice."
Although the waiter was a little surprised that Zhang Wei drank so much alone, he still nodded politely and took note.
Xiao Qiang came late today, and Zhang Wei didn't show up until he had finished two bottles of beer.
As soon as he saw Zhang Wei, Xiao Qiang smiled and apologized: "Sorry, I'm late, the road is too busy."
After talking to Zhang Wei in detail, I found out that Xiao Qiang was rushing back from Guangzhou Port. Two trucks had an accident on the road and blocked two lanes, so the traffic jam lasted until after seven o'clock before entering the city.
"Hey, Old Tao hasn't arrived yet?" Xiao Qiang saw that only Zhang Wei's pair of bowls and chopsticks had been used on the table, and he knew that Tao Jiang hadn't arrived either.
"No, I thought you two were together." Zhang Wei said, opening two bottles of beer and passing them to Xiao Qiang. Xiao Qiang likes to drink one bottle with ice and the other at room temperature.
Xiao Qiang took the beer, poured himself a glass without saying a word, drank it in one gulp, then filled it up and drank another glass.
"It feels so good. I'm almost dying of thirst along the way."
Zhang Wei filled up the wine and had another drink with Xiao Qiang, and said: "Brother Xiao, Brother Tao didn't say when he will arrive?"
Xiao Qiang was stunned: "You've been here for so long and you haven't contacted him?"
Zhang Wei shook his head: "I thought you two were together. I'll send a message now to ask."
After the message was sent, Tao Jiang responded quickly. He was having dinner with Gary and the others and would come over right after.
After Zhang Wei told Xiao Qiang the situation, Xiao Qiang smiled understandingly and said helplessly: "It's no wonder. You don't know. There are a lot of things going on in the project these two days. Party A's test cases have all been changed."
It’s the fourth edition, almost one edition a day.”
"Is it so complicated?" Zhang Wei asked doubtfully.
In his opinion, Party A's test cases are to list the test items according to the product characteristics of each company according to its specific needs. As long as it doesn't look too biased towards one party from the outside, after all, the finalist for the test is to select
Choosing multiple manufacturers is not the only option like final bidding, as long as it is acceptable on the whole.
And like Xiao Qiang said, Party A has now produced the fourth version, which is a bit too serious.
"Haha." Xiao Qiang smiled a little reluctantly. "I thought it was a simple matter, but I didn't expect that many people who were demons suddenly appeared, and the simple matter became complicated."
Zhang Wei asked curiously: "What happened?"
Xiao Qiang didn't hide it, and said with a wry smile: "Eight family members are doing Party A's work, and it will be difficult for those who work after work."
Under Zhang Wei's careful questioning, Xiao Qiang explained the matter in detail.
It turns out that the simple matter of formulating product test cases has become quite complicated due to the intervention of eight manufacturers. Everyone wants to add the excellent features of their products to the test cases, and also wants to remove their respective disadvantages from the test cases.
It was eliminated from the test cases, so the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. When it was implemented by the executor, it became a big change in two days, two small changes in a day, and then it was changed to the fourth version.
After understanding the reason, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, just like what Lao Hu said at the beginning, Party A's internal affairs are not monolithic. No, as soon as the matter started, different voices emerged.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but become a little worried and asked: "How about our AC now?"
Xiao Qiang chuckled: "Actually, our AC is not bad. In fact, these manufacturers who participated in the shortlist are like a mirror. It is unrealistic to kick me and internationally renowned brands like AC and HD out of the industry. After all, the industry
Many technologies in the industry come from AC and HD, which are the ancestors in the industry. If anyone says that these two products do not meet the needs, then there will be no manufacturers in the world that meet the needs."
Zhang Wei thinks about it. Except for HD and AC, only Jianhai Company has certain innovative research and development capabilities. Most of the other companies copy the technology of HD and AC, which is called reverse research and development. To put it bluntly, they are plagiarism and imitation, kernel,
The agreement remains unchanged, just changing the vest.
If there were no legal monopoly laws in the world, it is estimated that such manufacturers would have been sued by HD and AC and went bankrupt.
Of course, such manufacturers also have their own value. In addition to cultivating the market for the two big guys, they can also discover various new needs, various system application integration methods, solutions, and small innovations, etc., and the two big guys
You only need to pay some low-end market share with little profit, and you can save a lot of trouble, so why not do it.
"Brother Xiao, I understand when you put it this way. Are those manufacturers other than HD and AC trying to fight for the remaining four places?" Zhang Wei has already received the news that this time the finalists will be finalized.
For five manufacturers, this news will also be announced together with the test cases next Monday.
"You're not wrong in saying that, but it's not entirely correct." Xiao Qiang smiled treacherously, obviously there was something inside.
"Brother Xiao, what did I say wrong?" Zhang Wei asked in confusion.
Xiao Qiang laughed and poured a glass of wine. After having sex with Zhang Wei, he said: "It's ridiculous to say it. Among the information I learned from Party A during this period, one thing surprised me. It's Jianhai Company.
They were jointly targeted by five other companies, and those five families were surprisingly unanimous in wanting to take Jianhai Company out of business. Don’t you think this is interesting?"
This news really surprised Zhang Wei, but he soon figured it out and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, traitors were indispensable in that era."
Xiao Qiang laughed loudly when he heard this: "If we are called traitors, the three of us are the real traitors. They are just excluding dissidents. Who makes Jianhai Company so different among domestic brands? They shout 'independent innovation' every day
, the slogan of "independent research and development," isn't this a slap in the face to others? So isn't it normal to recruit domestic peers to suppress it? "
Zhang Wei nodded noncommittally, acquiescing to Xiao Qiang's statement. He thought of the big domestic brand in the air-conditioning industry, which was already No. 1 in the world and often faced the dilemma of being smeared and poached by its peers.
Isn't Jianhai Company in a similar situation to this company? It's just because of its backwardness in technology that it can't become the global leader. However, its product technology and hardware performance are no longer as bad as those of HD and AC. In some places, they are even better than these two.
International brands are doing well.
Although Zhang Wei felt that Jianhai Company was particularly aggrieved in his heart, after all, the rivalry between the other six companies was definitely a good thing for AC.
Zhang Weiman drank a glass of wine with Xiao Qiang, expressed his sympathy for Jianhai Company's experience, and then asked Xiao Qiang about the purpose of organizing the game today.
Xiao Qiang gave it away with a smile, saying that he would wait until Tao Jiang came to discuss the matter, and then the two of them chatted about the romance.
When Xiao Qiang learned that Zhang Wei had returned from Foshan, he complained very dissatisfiedly, leaving Zhang Wei confused.
After Xiao Qiang explained it to him with a mean smile, Zhang Wei finally understood. At the same time, he also secretly laughed that his guess was indeed correct. Xiao Qiang is definitely a pervert who loves to take care of his "brother". His first reaction to anything is,
They are all thinking about that kind of thing.
It turns out that after Dongguan fell into disrepair, Foshan and Huizhou inherited a large part of Dongguan's industry. However, with the lessons learned from Dongguan's lonely brother, neither place dared to engage in it openly again. Therefore, although they inherited the industry, they did not
It did not inherit the spirit of Dongguan.
After Dongguan, there is no more Guan-style service, which is a great regret in life. Of course, this life refers to Xiao Qiang and has nothing to do with Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei considers himself a good man with a healthy mind and hard work.
pieces.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Tao Jiang arrived. Zhang Wei and Xiao Qiang had almost finished the two boxes of beer before he arrived late.
As soon as he sat down, Xiao Qiang stood up and shouted to the waitress not far away: "The person paying the bill is here, can you let us two leave?"
As soon as Xiao Qiang finished shouting, Tao Jiang kicked him back to his seat. When the waitress saw this, she understood that the two were joking, but she still came over with a smile.
"Beautiful boy, it's still early to pay the bill, would you like to add something else?" The waitress said this while looking at Tao Jiang, obviously seeing him arrive.
Tao Jiang was about to speak, but Xiao Qiang leaned forward and said first: "Beautiful girl, serve two dozen grilled oysters first and choose the bigger one. My brother is exhausted these days and must take a good rest..."
Before Xiao Qiang finished speaking, Tao Jiang kicked him back again, but he still did not forget to remind him: "Two dozen oysters, pick the bigger one."
To be honest, there are not many men who don't like to eat grilled oysters, so Xiao Qiang ordered two dozen grilled oysters and Tao Jiang didn't object, but he didn't order anything else.
But drinkers will never easily let go of someone who drinks less. Besides, Tao Jiang was late and didn't drink, so he definitely had to add another box of beer.
It is a rule to be fined for being late. Zhang Wei has been fined for being late in the past, and Tao Jiang is no exception. Tao Jiang only passed the fine after he asked the female promoter who brought Zhujiang beer to accompany him and drank a bottle.
This level.
Seeing that Xiao Qiang wanted to force him to take another penalty, Tao Jiang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Old Xiao, please let me slow down first. I drank a lot in the last game, and I really can't drink anymore."
Xiao Qiang said dissatisfied: "Old Tao, you are not interesting enough. You drank more with others in the last game. Now it is my brothers' turn to drink, but you stopped drinking. Isn't it obvious that you look down on our brothers?"
?”
"Old Xiao, I'm not saying I won't drink. I'm just taking it slow and letting me eat something to cushion my stomach. I was so drunk last time that I didn't even bother to eat."
Xiao Qiang wondered: "Didn't you accompany your colleagues from Singapore in the last game? Why did you say it as if you were bullied?"
Tao Jiang shrugged and showed a bitter smile: "Old Xiao, you are really right, I was really bullied at night."
Xiao Qiang expressed disbelief and said: "Who can bully you? Let alone that Singaporean colleague named Gary. He is an honest person at first glance. You are just as good as bullying others."
Zhang Wei also agreed with this. How could an old scholar with more than 800 degrees of myopia be a match for a sales elite like Tao Jiang?
As for Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, isn't Gary looking for abuse when he confronts this guy?
Tao Jiang shook his head and said: "Old Xiao, you must be very clever. Can Gary and I be bullied while eating? My brother was bullied by a foreign girl tonight."
Xiao Qiang jumped up when he heard this, pointed at Tao Jiang and said: "I didn't expect that you, a thick-browed man with big eyes, would actually carry your brother behind your back to open a meat shop. Do you still have justice in the world? What do you think of our revolutionary friendship?
?Hurry up and confess, your name, age, measurements, as well as your mobile phone number, WeChat ID, and QQ number, none of them are missing."
"Damn you! Do you think all men are like you?" Tao Jiang glared at Xiao Qiang angrily: "Okay, don't you want to know? Let me tell you, that foreign girl's name is Lisa, and I didn't ask about her age.
Yes, I haven’t touched her measurements and I don’t know her measurements clearly. I’m about to get her cell phone number. If you have the ability, you can go get her later. Remember to tell me when you’re done. I really want to know too.”
After speaking, Tao Jiang directly took out a business card from his wallet and threw it in front of Xiao Qiang.
"Hey, is this girl's business card still very delicate?" Xiao Qiang curiously picked up the pink business card on the table, and then couldn't help but exclaimed: "The American HD Global Product Director, Lisa... turns out to be this girl
Guys! Damn it, this card is actually gravure printed, the LOGO is painted in gold, and it’s bilingual in Chinese and English... Damn, this bitch is really good at showing off. I’ll print a box like this one day.
