The first deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, who is nearly fifty years old, is called Yuri Brezhnev, and he knows his surname-the prince.

Regarding this, Tang Huan would naturally not have any timidity. After all, he had even enjoyed the treatment of a guest of the President of the United States, and from the point of view of commercial negotiations, the specifications were reasonable.

In fact, the Soviet side also pays attention to skills. Tang Huan’s product image endorsement and funding for women’s gymnastics star Nelkin, who is studying in Moscow for university studies, are included in the list of members of the trip, which is considered to be an active one. The middleman of the atmosphere.

At the beginning of the meeting, the two sides communicated really well during the greeting process, which set a good tone for the next meeting, and then entered the formal negotiation stage as a matter of course. Yuri Brezhnev frankly requested a price reduction of the Philosopher series software. .

Tang Huan shook his head with a wry smile, picked up a document and handed it over, "This is our sales statistics, and there are conclusions later, so you might as well take a look first."

After Yuri Brezhnev looked at it again, he couldn't help showing embarrassment and coughed slightly.

Whether a tool like a personal computer is useful or not can be judged by observing the effects of other people's use.

After the Xiaobawang game console and the first generation of Fangyuan computers were sold in the Soviet Union, the products were indeed very popular, but they also suffered various cracks. After all, people have this technical strength.

The situation of the Xiaobawang game console is better, mainly because some games have been ported to other platforms without authorization, but the first generation of Fangyuan computers is a bit miserable, just like the ibm system/360 mainframe at the time, it has become a set fire. The objects of the game, from hardware to software, have been cracked in an organized manner, which is called the need for technology localization.

However, technological cracking and industrialized mass production are two different things.

The U.S. personal computer industry has developed explosively in recent years, and that is the accumulation of civilian technology. Although the level of computer development on the Soviet side is tainted with the light of serving the military industry, the industry level of microcomputers is really limited.

You know, the instruction set of the cpu used by the personal computer determines the characteristics of the entire hardware platform, and the Soviet Union has to overcome this barrier.

In other words, if the Soviet Union wants to launch on the market its own-made products compatible with a generation of Fangyuan computers, it must also have a corresponding 6502 compatible product.

But the difficulty ends here. After all, the first generation Fangyuan computer is not like the second generation Fangyuan computer, except for the cpu on the motherboard. There are also more complex designs such as buses, north-south bridge chips, and so on.

Generally speaking, in terms of hardware, the Soviet Union can basically make products compatible with a generation of Fangyuan computers.

However, this sentence is not casual. They soon discovered that their product prices are not competitive in terms of competitiveness. At the same time, the previously overlooked application software problems are becoming more and more acute.

In fact, the software and hardware aspects of the Soviet Union's cracking process of the entire system of a generation of Fangyuan computers went hand in hand.

On the motherboard of Fangyuan Computer. It integrates a piece of electrically erasable programmable read-only memory for storing code. Products such as operating system, spreadsheet software, word processing software, database ebase, etc. will read function functions from it, or mark for authenticity verification.

This mechanism is not an absolute problem for those who are interested, and it can be completely bypassed.

So the situation of the first generation of Fangyuan computers in the Soviet Union is. More and more orders no longer include ebase, ebase, and even more excessive ones. We don't need the operating system integrated with your system anymore, so let's make a discount.

Tang Huan's effective countermeasures can only be. Through the continuous introduction of new versions of more powerful software.

In addition, Tang Huan acquiesced to this objective situation and deliberately no longer demanded software and hardware binding. For example, after the software detects an unauthorized environment, it only prompts or restricts the use of certain advanced functions, instead of forcibly quitting the program. It can be regarded as reducing the difficulty of cracking to a certain extent, but in fact it is to allow software pirates in disguise.

Slowly, users on the Soviet side began to discover that the latest version of Zheru's software has greatly reduced the difficulty of getting started. At the same time, local follow-up software has not been updated as motivated as before.

It’s better to save yourself the trouble of choosing. After all, the operating methods of each software are different, and learning to learn is very troublesome. Soviet users subconsciously accepted the pirated philosophical software to unify the market quietly.

However, sometimes, the experience of using pirated philosopher software is not perfect, and the program crashes sometimes. At this time, the user often scolds the person who cracked it for waste, then reopens the program and continues to use it.

This phenomenon generally does not have much impact on users such as office clerks. They often save or retype the missing piece of manuscript.

But for those users who count all kinds of real-time data, especially those who rely heavily on database ebase applications, they are becoming more and more intolerable. Whether it is data loss or data calculation errors, the consequences are very serious.

At the same time, unlike those electronic spreadsheet software and word processing software, ebase has very frequent after-sales service and technical support needs. It is obvious that pirated software cannot get such treatment.

Due to the high difficulty of ebase's research and development, so far, the Soviet Union has not had a product that can barely satisfy the trend.

But the objective needs wait for no one. Soviet officials have to come forward to solve such problems. Under the unified planned economy model, who are you not responsible for?

In addition, the products developed by the Soviet Union that are compatible with a generation of Fangyuan computers, to solve the application software problem, the easiest way is to directly use philosopher, ebase.

I don't know why, the same philosophical pirated software has a world-wide difference on the original generation of Fangyuan computers and its own technology compatible computers, the latter's stability is extremely poor.

The reason given by the technical staff is that the compatibility of the cpu may not be perfect enough, but more importantly, Zheru Software uses some techniques that rely heavily on hardware characteristics in the implementation of the underlying code.

Yuri Brezhnev's trip, in addition to intending to bargain on genuine philosopher software. I also want to bring a solution to this problem.

It's just that the former can be considered upright, while the latter is a bit hard to tell.

Especially after reading the documents handed over by Tang Huan, Yuri Brezhnev became more passive.

There are clear analysis data on it, summarizing how much money Tang Huan lost.

The total shipment volume of the first generation of Fangyuan computers in the Soviet Union has approached 20,000 units, and the statistics are based on the genuine license model. The cost of the software used with each computer often exceeds the price of the hardware itself. This is where the huge profit of software lies.

But as a result, Tang Huan lost at least 80% in software sales.

Since it is a business, it must be sincere in the distribution of benefits, right?

Tang Huan looked at Yuri Brezhnev with helpless eyes. How do you think I should lower the price?

Yuri Brezhnev was silent for a long time, unable to answer.

For the Soviet Union, where the planned economy occupies the absolute main body, the Fangyuan computer, which can be conveniently placed on the desk, has brought obvious vitality to the operation of the entire increasingly rigid national economy. For example, all kinds of statistics and summary, the speed of improvement is not a little bit, and the education level of the Soviet Union is enough to allow most of the staff to quickly master the use of office software.

How could the ruling elites not know these benefits? This is also the motivation for attaching so much importance to the first generation of Fangyuan computers.

So, no matter how difficult it is. Yuri Brezhnev had to find a solution. But what he didn't expect was that Tang Huan took out such a detailed document, which directly disrupted his pre-prepared rhetoric.

Is it possible to want horses to run but not to eat grass?

Tang Huan is very particular about social skills. Seeing Yuri Brezhnev embarrassed, he did not continue to persecute. Instead, he talked with Nelkin, the only acquaintance of the Soviet Union.

It has to be said that the Soviet Union brought Nelkin, which really played a role in a lively atmosphere.

After Nelkin retired, she stayed in Moscow with Tang Huan’s funding for further university studies. At the same time, she worked part-time in the office where Fangyuan Computer was sold, and received a salary. This is far better than returning to Belarus to accept official work arrangements . It is much more moisturizing, which can be seen from the aspects of its mental outlook and clothing.

Based on this relationship, Tang Huan and Nelkin are actually very familiar with each other, but in such occasions, they naturally have to talk about those clichés.

For example, recalling Nelkin’s achievements in the 1976 and 1980 Olympics, as well as inquiring about her current study, work and life, and then talk about the strength of the Soviet women’s gymnastics team.

In short, there was no coldness at all between the ramblings, and even Yuri Brezhnev was involved and talked a lot of light topics.

Since sports can be used for table tennis diplomacy and football diplomacy, it can naturally also play a lubricating role in caressing business negotiations.

Yuri Brezhnev glanced at a gap, then turned to the topic, "Anyway, focusing on the future is the most important thing."

Tang Huan nodded in agreement, saying that if I didn't focus on the future, would you let you pirate and use my software so comfortably?

"The purchase order I brought this time was originally 1000 units of radius computers, but now it has been doubled and changed to 2000 units. What do you think?" Yuri Brezhnev waved his hand brazenly.

Tang Huan smiled noncommitantly, not seemingly tempted, because the price of a generation of Fangyuan computers has fallen below $1,500, and its profit margin cannot be compared with that of software.

Seeing this scenario, Yuri Brezhnev continued to add weight unhurriedly, “The cooperation between us obviously needs to be further strengthened. Your office in Moscow has a somewhat similar operating capacity. The situation is not up to date, why not upgrade the specifications of this organization and change it to a branch or subsidiary?"

"Are you willing to provide support in this respect?" Tang Huan asked with interest.

Although the East and West are confronting each other with clear barriers, there is also a permanent communication mechanism between the two. Especially after the Cuban Missile Crisis, their connections have become more frequent. Normal people do not want a third world war with nuclear weapons.

Since there is political and political communication, there are naturally also economic contacts. For example, it was not until the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan that the United States began to ban the export of food to the other side.

If anyone can do business in all directions between East and West, there is no doubt that this man is definitely a powerful man. Tang Huan is more interested in this role.

"Of course. And this level of support, I can come forward to guarantee." Yuri Brezhnev replied proudly.

Obviously, in the capacity of this prince, it is not a problem for him to have this privilege.

"In this way, I will arrange a visit for the Minister first, and then I will discuss this issue." Tang Huan got up and invited him.

Yuri Brezhnev was inexplicable at first, but when he saw the second-generation Fangyuan computer demonstrating various applications. Can't help being a little dumbfounded.

Although he doesn't understand technology, Yuri Brezhnev can see it on the surface. Compared with the first-generation Fangyuan computer, the second-generation Fangyuan computer has significantly more powerful functions.

While our first-generation Fangyuan computer compatible products are still struggling with various problems, is the technology of the second-generation Fangyuan computer so mature? Then, before that, the resource investment was quite a futile crack, wouldn't it be in vain?

Obviously, the Soviet Union did not realize how intense and frequent the technological upgrading of personal computers was, and their thinking was still stuck in a mainframe model like ibmsystem/360.

"Your Excellency Minister thinks. Is the second-generation Fangyuan computer worthy of your mass purchase?" Tang Huan asked playfully.

Such a powerful product may be used for military purposes.

Thinking of this, Yuri Brezhnev nodded, acknowledging the value of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, and asked casually, "What price is this product?"

"The basic model starts at $5,000." Tang Huanyun made a gesture calmly.

The muscles on Yuri Brezhnev's face twitched. Xin said that this price is too high, more than the sum of the prices of three generations of Fangyuan computers.

After the tour, Yuri Brezhnev expressed his attitude solemnly, "I am willing to purchase 200 second-generation Fangyuan computers, but no matter how big the change is. I don't have the right to make a decision right away."

Tang Huan carefully observed Yuri Brezhnev's expression, and it seemed very real.

but. Compared with Japan's wealth and wealth, the Soviet Union's careful planning has obviously weakened its momentum. .

"Well, for the sake of your minister, I accepted this plan, and the software price was reduced by 10% at one time." Tang Huan finally relieved.

But Yuri Brezhnev was not satisfied with this and continued to bargain. Tang Huan shook his head again and again. He could temporarily tolerate not making big money in the Soviet market and leave it to the harvest in the future, but the bottom line of small profits must be insisted on.

This disagreement continued until the reception dinner began, and there was no consensus and satisfactory result between the two parties.

But everyone's appetite has not been affected in any way. You should eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, talk and laugh, and have no grudges. After all, everyone is a master of negotiation, knowing that the more you are at this time, the more you must be patient.

In a staggering covetousness, Tang Huan and Yuri Brezhnev drank a glass of Volga, and then tentatively asked: "I set up an office in Moscow, after upgrading, can I expand the business scope, such as video recorders and video tapes? ?"

Yuri Brezhnev understood that Tang Huan was asking for additional benefits outside the board to make up for the loss of his software on the board. This could be regarded as a normal response and the intended meaning of the question.

In this regard, he did not have any disgust, but asked jokingly, "What are the contents of the video tapes, are they Hollywood movies?"

Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help being overwhelmed. This idea did have a bug, and it could almost be regarded as a disguised promotion of Hollywood movies to the Soviet Union. This was obviously contrary to his principle that art serves politics.

Through the contact during this period of time, Yuri Brezhnev deeply understood Tang Huan's strength, and naturally sent his respect for the strong, which is also the tradition of the fighting nation.

Moreover, Tang Huan speaks proficient Russian, and the hospitality in all aspects is impeccable, which makes Yuri Brezhnev feel good about it.

Seeing Tang Huan's deflated opponent, Yuri Brezhnev laughed loudly, "Tang, you continue to look for benefits that interest you."

Tang Huan is a little unwilling to give up. He has to find benefits from other fields, otherwise he won’t be able to make substantive concessions to Yuri Brezhnev’s satisfaction tomorrow. "Since it’s the movie, let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about a sci-fi work with a child as the theme~www.wuxiahere.com~ which does not involve politics at all, can it not work?"

Yuri Brezhnev shook the wine in the glass while replied categorically, "As long as it's Hollywood, it definitely won't work."

"If it is issued by a non-American entertainment company." Tang Huan, who tirelessly asked, clearly exposed his enthusiasm for impossible achievements.

"You know how to work well. If you pack it properly, there is no room for manipulation." Yuri Brezhnev pondered for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "Are you sure, this is the compensation you need." form?"

"I still value the Soviet market." Tang Huan reluctantly spread his hands. "But the only products I can sell now are personal computers, game consoles and movies. Can I find other ways of compensation?"

"Think about it, and I will think about it too." Yuri Brezhnev continued to laugh loudly. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
