Chapter 52 "Lightning Deal" Settled

  The customer is always right.

  A good sales engineer should have the spirit of a monk: first, be able to cut flesh and feed eagles, even if it means sacrificing oneself; second, be able to let go of all worldly attachments, except for the contract; third, be able to endure hardship and torture oneself and clients; finally, only then can one become a true monk, who only cares about stretching out their hand for money.

  After prolonged discussion and negotiation, as well as Raymond's painstaking and outstanding translation, both sides finally settled the basic issues.

  The next problem can't be solved alone, he regretted not bringing his little sister again, and thought for a moment before saying: "How about we meet in Jiangning next time? It's not easy to come to Paris once."

  It's easy for him to come alone, but it's too difficult to bring his little sister along.

  Three people suddenly felt uneasy, with the leader looking left and right, a bunch of "China threat theory" suddenly popping up in his mind.

  He is not really afraid of China, he just thinks Chen Yi looks like a government representative no matter how you look at him.

  If it weren't for the Chinese government, why would they spend a huge amount of money to hide their heads and show only their tails? If it weren't for the Chinese government, why would they stay in luxury hotels but hire a poor translator? If it weren't for the Chinese government, which company could deceive the whole world by producing a 500 billion times computer?

  He thought and thought, and suddenly became excited, as if he had already made a deal. His heart was filled with longing for the vast number of Chinese people, and his longing for the vast amount of Chinese money.

  His eyes saw all kinds of banknotes, red, green, purple and black. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, actually we can provide some special services to our big clients, that is, the clients who own 100 billion computers."

  "What's so special?"

  "Not only can it trade at high frequency, but also flash trading." He said excitedly.

  "That's for you to explain." With his experience in the Kingdom of San Qiao, Chen Yi only asked with a superior attitude, even though he didn't understand the situation, but didn't appear weak.

  Leading the way, licking his lips, he said: "Flash trading requires a supercomputer, directly connected to an exchange that supports this business, synchronously analyzing the data of the exchange. You know, whether it's the New York Stock Exchange or the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, their computer equipment is not the most advanced. On this basis, we use more advanced computers than they do, and we can see the trading situation 0.3 seconds before individual investors. Then, faster than individual investors by three-thousandths of a second, we judge the market's instantaneous trend and take positions first."

  Chen Yi Ting was stunned and said: "Isn't this cheating?"

  "You are a cheater." The Frenchman laughed and clapped his hands, saying: "On the basis of lightning transactions, we only need to buy more before buying in large quantities and sell short before selling in large quantities. Not only is the income stable, but the profit is also several times that of high-frequency trading."

  Chen Yizhen was speechless, this is equivalent to facing a mouse warehouse in the entire market, and building a warehouse with great fanfare.

  "How much does this system cost?" Chen Yi couldn't help but ask.

  "Depending on your system, it's $70 million to $2.5 billion different." Xignite's new pricing is many times that of high-frequency trading software, also extremely profitable.

  "If it's really as good as you say." Chen Yi frowned and said, "I will pay your remuneration three months after the software is sold."

  The leader of the negative said: "If you are not at ease, you can retain a balance..."

  "This deviates from my previous requirements." Chen Yi immediately retorted: "If you can't afford it, then I can only switch to another company."

  "If it's a high-frequency trading software design, of course no problem, but if it's lightning trading..."

  "It makes no difference to me." Chen Yi spread out his hands and said: "You must make a decision. The terms of the deal are set, I am not able to change them."

  He just changed his words, but in the ears of the leader, it was as if someone was above him.

  This makes it easier for people to understand, after all, for them, a leader who looks so young is not like someone who can own a supercomputer, let alone a high-end product worth 500 billion times. But if it were the Chinese government or the offspring of Chinese government officials, everything seems natural.

  The cost of pulling a big customer is always more than operating small customers. The leader took another step back and said, "One-third of the tail money, we guarantee the quality of the software."

  "You should have guaranteed the quality of the software in the first place," Chen Yi said, standing up. "As for the specific quotation, I'll take it to Jiangning. The payment method will still be the same as before. Will you do it?"

  His tone was unmistakable, and Messrs. Shi and Bi had little room for choice.

  As Chen Yi said, the conditions they dare not promise will always be promised by more courageous companies. Especially for this kind of commonly used proprietary software, it only needs simple modification to go online, with low cost and high selling price. Even if it's a deferred payment, Shang Feng is also unwilling to give up.

  The leader sighed and said: "So, as we discussed earlier, the down payment issue..."

  "A down payment of $1 million, after running the test for a week, make up to one-third, three months later make up to two-thirds, and we'll talk about the final payment." Chen Yi's condition was quite harsh earlier, many small companies didn't dare to take it on because they were worried about being dragged down. However, in today's economic environment, few companies are willing to pay readily.

  See off three people who are hesitant to leave. Chen Yi refused Raymond's car, leaving the house to him and moved his luggage back to the subway.

  Kingdom of San Marino

  In a gigantic building comparable to a skyscraper, the number of people increased again. Timothy had a slightly tired look, but his expression was spirited.

  For him, it's better to expect the arrival of a great master than to pray for God's blessing. Perhaps, taking the great master as God's messenger is an idea that can satisfy both religion and reality.

  "Master Chen."

  "Master..."

  Chen Yi habitually smiled and pulled out the suitcase, a total of three boxes, two from Jiangning, two from Paris, and the last package contained some small things. The box from Paris still had the LV logo on it, showing its special origin. Unfortunately, the gentlemen of the Kingdom of Sanqiao were not concerned with brands.

  "It's all yours." He waved his hand generously.

  Timothy's eyes are all on the boxes. Now, even if there is a beauty beside him, she will be discarded like a worn-out shoe - at his age, beauties are probably just for visual appreciation.

  Two old men, disregarding their age and frailty, went up and took the box. Seeing their steady arm movements, Chen Yi guessed they had used some kind of strength-enhancing device.

  The crystal screen floated over, flickering imperceptibly for a couple of times.

  Timothy looked at the gigantic box that was half as tall as a person with surprise, his heart thumping.

  The kingdom is so weak, and the master is the greatest hope.

  In fact, Chen Yi didn't let them waste their emotions either.

  Classification of the items, nearly half of them are floating in mid-air, and a quarter of them are above yellow grade. That means materials for 4th-grade scrolls or corresponding elemental essences can be useful on the front lines.

  The remaining second and third tier scrolls were filled with red areas, although no ninth or eighth tier high level scrolls appeared, there were 8 seventh tier ones, which was several times more than before, and could still be used as strategic resources.

  Chen Yi found it somewhat strange, the rules of the law masters were not simply pure wood pulp paper, many papers that he had originally thought highly of were classified under the red third level.

  Newly purchased fragrances are mostly in the red zone, but the most attractive ones are still those floating at the junction of yellow and green, which are 6 or 7 grade materials.

  Timothy's thigh quivered violently. 21 years ago when he last played games in bed with a little girl, he was not so excited.

  "The total value is 6.82 million gold coins." A small mage carefully calculated twice and came to report: "7th-level scroll materials 8 pieces, 6th-level scroll materials 17 pieces, 5th-level multi-element base 52, each bottle 20,000 gold coins, 5th-level single-element base, each can 120,000 gold coins..."

  The so-called single element base is actually a portion of fragrance and spices purchased by Chen Yi, with a capacity of 5 liters per can.

  Timothy didn't seem to care about how many things would be exchanged, his happy mustache was raised, and he hastily said: "Master Chen, the Holy Knight, Mr. Glendler, whom we discussed earlier, is outside right now. If you have any questions about training, he has a lot of secret techniques."

  "Then let him come in quickly." Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, "Holy Knight", the name sounded very cool and powerful.

  Timothy introduced there: "Grendel, the Holy Knight of Saint Chio Kingdom, is the commander-in-chief of the Knights and one of the Four Great Holy Knights. If you want to train your physical strength, he's the most suitable person."
