Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 143 Final decision
Judging from his age, the young man who should have just graduated from college smiled politely, nodded and asked, "Are you here to discuss business with our company?"

"Can I ask you something?" Lu Feng did not answer his question.

"You say!"

"I heard that your company doesn't take orders below one million?"

The young man was a little confused and asked curiously, "No, where did you hear that rumor? I signed a contract last month with a startup company, and the annual service fee was only 120,000. How can they not do it for less than 1 million?"

Next to him, Xian Ruijin immediately understood what had happened.

Lu Feng continued to ask: "Are you going out to discuss business?"

"No, I'm just going out for a walk to see if there are any opportunities." Qingnian Bao smiled wryly and said self-deprecatingly, "The company's major businesses are all controlled by the old employees, and we newcomers can only run errands."

"Is there a cafe nearby?" Lu Feng asked again.

The young man showed no impatience at all and said seriously, "Turn left downstairs and go into the mall. There is a Starbucks."

"I'm not familiar with this place. Can you help me show the way?" Lu Feng looked at him earnestly.

The young man smiled and said, "Of course, I'm on my way to the subway."

Xian Ruijin was listening to Lu Feng chatting with him in a random manner and had no idea why Lu Feng suddenly wanted to drink coffee.

Soon, the young man brought the two to the entrance of Starbucks. "I'll leave first."

"Stay." Lu Feng stopped him, "How about I buy you a cup of coffee?"

"No, I still have to go out and sweep the floor, you guys enjoy it."

"It's okay. It won't take you more than a few minutes."

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, the young man was a little shy. He looked up at the Starbucks sign, nodded quickly, and said thank you softly.

There were not many people in Starbucks, so Lu Feng took the two people in and asked them what they wanted to drink. He then took the document from Xian Ruijin and handed it to the young man, saying, "Please take a look at this demand document first. I'll go take the order."

The young man's face was full of suspicion.

Xian Ruijin had already guessed what Lu Feng wanted to do, and immediately took the initiative to invite the young man to sit down.

"Don't know what to call me?"

"My last name is Zhuo, Zhuo Dongqiang. Dong means east, which means strong and powerful."

"Mr. Zhuo, you take a look first."

Zhuo Dongqiang opened the four-page document, glanced at the first page, and asked, "Is this the project you're working on with our company? It looks like it's quite big."

"Oh? Can you give us a rough estimate of the cost of your company's services for setting up such a project?"

“Do you have your own server?”

"no!"

"Where's the technician?"

"I am!"

"Ah? I thought you were the boss. Then that little brother just now..."

"That's our President Lu."

"So young?" Zhuo Dongqiang was very surprised, but he quickly focused on the requirements document, quickly browsed to the end, and said seriously: "According to my own experience, you should have signed a contract with the company for 100,000 for this project, right? I'm talking about the most basic version."

"No! We haven't signed yet!" Lu Feng walked over with two cups of coffee and a matcha frappuccino.

"Not signed? Aren't you from our company?"

"To be precise, I was kicked out!" Lv Feng put down his coffee with a smile. "Kicked out? How is that possible? Don't be ridiculous."

"Really? It's a short, thin man with a mole near his mouth."

"Ah...that's my department head, Mr. Su. He is responsible for all the customers from the entire network, and he can sign at least a few big orders every year." Zhuo Dongqiang looked envious.

He has been in the company for three months, but now he can't even get a permanent job. He is still 80,000 short of the sales volume of 200,000.

Lu Feng sat down with a smile: "He was the one who told me that your company doesn't accept orders below one million."

Zhuo Dongqiang scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed, and tried to explain: "Our President Su is indeed more picky about his clients..."

He looked at Lu Feng and Xian Ruijin carefully, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe seeing the two of you dressed like this, you think there is nothing to do. After all, no matter how small the order is, the company requires the person who signs the order to follow it from beginning to end, and also to provide service evaluation feedback."

He suddenly realized something, and his eyes lit up: "I can take this order."

Lu Feng laughed secretly in his heart. This guy is also a slow realizer. Until now, he still hasn't figured out his intention.

"Have you seen the request?" Lu Feng asked.

Zhuo Dongqiang nodded vigorously: "I have seen it. The functions are very simple, and other special customized parts do not involve too much development. If you just want to realize simple transaction functions, one hundred thousand yuan can cover it all."

Thinking that he could become a regular employee with just one more order of RMB 100,000, he even quoted the lowest price.

This is a life-saving straw.

“What if thousands or tens of thousands of people are required to be online at the same time and perform high-frequency trading?”

"Then the server and broadband requirements will be much higher." Zhuo Dongqiang calculated silently by himself, and added the deposits and withdrawals, third-party funding interface, custody, warehouse receipts, etc. to the requirements.

After a few minutes, he frowned and said, "It will indeed take millions to meet your requirements."

"Can you calculate it specifically?"

"Wait a minute, I haven't dealt with anything this complicated myself, let me make a phone call and ask." Zhuo Dongqiang picked up the phone and made a call on the spot.

"Hey, Master... yes, that's it... yes... help me calculate, what is the lowest I can sign... one hundred and eighty? Is it that high... OK, I understand."

He hung up the phone and looked at Lu Feng, "My master said that it would cost at least 180,000 yuan. If you add the five-year service fee, it would probably be 2.3 million yuan."

"Are you sure this is the lowest price?" Lu Feng asked.

"Yes." Zhuo Dongqiang felt a little nervous. Such a big order was rare even in the group. How could he possibly come across it?

Moreover, the young man in front of him didn't look like someone who could afford to spend more than two million to buy software.

Lu Feng turned and looked at Xian Ruijin.

The latter immediately understood, opened the document, began to refine each requirement and confirmed with Zhuo Dongqiang.

The two of them carefully compared the contents and discussed many issues that Lu Feng could not understand at all.

Lu Feng was watching from the side and found that he was increasingly unable to get a word in. He simply became too lazy to care and left everything to Xian Ruijin to handle.

A full hour passed.

Xian Ruijin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously at Lu Feng. "It will take about a month to build and test it. It's best to reserve more time for testing and detail modification. The bank interface and other things are ready-made, so don't worry about that."

"Okay! Then it's 2.3 million. Let's finish our coffee slowly and go back to your company to sign the contract." Lu Feng said directly.

"Ah?" Zhuo Dongqiang suddenly froze in his tracks, "Two million, three hundred thousand... just like that..."

Lu Feng raised his head and drank the last sip of his frappuccino, then stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's get it done as soon as possible. Don't waste Mr. Xian's time."

Lu Feng felt somewhat apologetic.
