When Yao Zhifang looked at the list, he saw that it contained relatively simple electronic components. Even the chip processor on the list was a common and inexpensive Z80, which he could purchase at a low price from Shenzhen through a friend.
"Mr. Zhao, I can get all the electronic components on the list. Don't worry, leave this to me, and I'll handle it perfectly!"
Zhao Ye smiled noncommittally, “Boss Yao is able to open such a large store in Zhongguancun, which means he is naturally very capable and has a wide network of connections. I trust you. However, in the spirit of being responsible, I need to get a batch of samples first to test them and determine whether the quality can meet my requirements! You know, the main users of the Chinese character cards I develop are high-end people who can afford expensive computers, so they will have particularly strict requirements for the quality of the Chinese character cards.”
After listening, Yao Zhifang sensed that something was amiss.
It seems the other party wants to get a batch of samples for testing for free.
If the other party is a scammer and runs away after getting the goods, then I will suffer a huge loss.
But... if the other party isn't a scammer, then the upcoming cooperation will definitely make me a fortune!
I'm so conflicted!
Yao Zhifang frowned slightly, but when he thought that the profits were much greater than the risks, it was worth the risk.
Even if it's a loss, it's probably only around a thousand yuan.
Of course, Yao Zhifang was still quite cautious.
He verbally agreed, but then began to test the waters.
"It's only right to have strict requirements for product quality! Mr. Zhao, just tell me how many samples you want, no problem at all!"
Yao Zhifang said with feigned generosity, then paused and tentatively asked, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, could I have a look at the Chinese character card? Hehe, to be honest, I'm a big fan of electronic products. As soon as I heard that you developed the Chinese character card, I was itching to see it right away!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ye felt quite helpless. Not only Yao Zhifang was questioning him, but Xun Wenshan, the former bank manager, was also questioning him. They were all testing him. Fortunately, he was not guilty and remained calm and composed.
"Mr. Yao, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. The Chinese character card has indeed been developed, but it's still in the confidential stage and hasn't been publicly announced. I can't easily reveal it. You see, it's not just my team developing Chinese character cards; other teams are also working on them. If our competitors find out that my team and I have developed one, it will definitely severely provoke them, triggering fierce competition prematurely. Currently, we are not fully prepared to build a Chinese character card manufacturing plant, establish comprehensive electronic component procurement channels, or Chinese character card sales channels..."
Zhao Ye shook his head and refused. He paused, as if he had thought of something, rummaged in his bag, took out a letter of introduction proving his identity, and then said, "Oh, right, I'm really sorry, I forgot to introduce myself in detail just now. Actually, I am a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is a letter of introduction from my unit."
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhifang immediately looked at the letter of introduction in Zhao Ye's hand.
Upon seeing the seal of the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences on the letter of introduction, Yao Zhifang was startled again. He hadn't expected Zhao Ye to have such a powerful background, being a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In other words, the development team of the Chinese character card came from the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
I understand!
"Haha, no wonder Mr. Zhao is so outstanding and exceptional! It turns out Mr. Zhao is an expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences! My apologies for not recognizing him. I never expected someone from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to come to my humble shop. It truly brings honor to my humble abode!" Yao Zhifang said excitedly. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has a great reputation in China. In the eyes of many ordinary people, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a place where the country's top scientific and technological figures gather. Zhao Ye's ability to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that he is also extraordinary.
Zhao Ye smiled slightly and said modestly, "Mr. Yao, you flatter me. I'm just a small researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, running errands for the leaders on a daily basis. I'm not an expert or a boss. You can just call me Xiao Zhao. By the way, Mr. Yao, when can you give me the samples? The sooner we finalize the cooperation, the sooner we can make money."
After finishing his sentence, Zhao Ye paused, then sighed, "Sigh, times are tough these days. Many organizations are short on funds, and my team and I are counting on the Chinese character card to make money..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhifang immediately made a promise, saying, "Brother Zhao, come over tomorrow at noon, and I guarantee I'll get a batch of samples for you to take back and test."
Nowadays, many businesses and factories are struggling and finding it difficult to do business.
Even the Chinese Academy of Sciences probably doesn't have much money, after all, there's a saying among the people: those who do scientific research are not as well off as those who sell tea eggs.
This shows that scientists earn very little.
Yao Zhifang couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhao Ye and other researchers; they were truly selfless and dedicated to benefiting society.
Perhaps they genuinely lack funds, but technically, they certainly have no problem.
Yao Zhifang was extremely excited when he thought about the profits that the Chinese character card could bring.
His suspicions about Zhao Ye were completely dispelled at this moment.
Upon hearing Yao Zhifang's promise, Zhao Ye couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking to himself, "The Chinese Academy of Sciences is really useful; I'm almost reluctant to give it up..."
Ten minutes later, Zhao Ye said goodbye to Yao Zhifang.
The quantity of samples for various electronic components has been agreed upon; he will come to pick them up tomorrow at noon.
Originally, Boss Yao wanted to invite him to dinner and drinks, but since the matter had already been settled, Zhao Ye didn't want to have too much contact with him to avoid any complications or revealing his true colors. He decided to wait until tomorrow.
