MH Company couldn't find a replacement chip in a short period of time. In desperation, they could only order from other chip companies while urgently modifying the program and motherboard design. They also told all customers that their smart toilet bowl would be delayed for a period of time. Finally, they managed to muddle through this problem.
However, before the chairman could catch his breath, his secretary received another call.
"What other problems do you have?" The chairman looked at his secretary with a pained expression.
"It's like this …" The secretary felt a little tongue-tied. "Just now, the Daqian Group sent an email. The Daqian Group said that they found out that the Hongmeng system, furniture design program, and so on that we are using now, a total of 12 software, are all products developed by the Daqian Group."
"They asked us if we should reject the services of these Daqian products."
"Reject? Why should we reject them?" The CEO yelled. "I paid for them. What right do they have to refuse to provide services to us?"
"This … Among the 12 software, 10 of them are free software. Therefore, they have the right to terminate the services at any time. There are also two paid programs. The Daqian Group said that they can immediately refund us all the money we paid for the software and then terminate our services. These are all written in the contract! "
"Nonsense. When did I sign such a contract?"
"Actually, you did. When we install the software, we have to click on the agreement to agree to the other party's service agreement. Otherwise, we can't install the software. These rules are all written in the service agreement. As long as you successfully install the software, it means that you have agreed to their service agreement! "
"I …" The chairman of MH Company was about to explode. Although he was ignorant and incompetent, he was very clear about the 12 software that the Daqian Group had named. These were all essential software for the company's office design and production. If the use of these software was not authorized, the entire company would have to stop production immediately. Without a three-month adjustment period, it would be impossible to resume production!
"How can these software be the Daqian Group's alone?!" The chairman wailed. The secretary didn't say anything. In fact, she had already analyzed the risks to the chairman. However, the chairman was too eager to please the Morgan consortium at that time, so he didn't care about anything else.
At the same time, he also felt that the Daqian would not be so calculative with him over a mere $40,000, so he patted his head and accepted it. In the end, the Daqian threw all kinds of disgusting means forward, and the chairman was about to explode.
"Chairman, actually, the Daqian sounded like he was asking. If we say that we want to continue using the Daqian software, I don't think the Daqian will force us to terminate the service!" The secretary read the notice carefully a few times and finally said with certainty.
"Good! Go find the Daqian and tell him that we need service! We still need these software services. We will not cancel them!!! "The chairman did not dare to be stubborn. After all, if the company was gone, he would be nothing.
"Yes!" The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was not easy to find a job in Europe these days. She had to find a way to stay.
Soon, the secretary wrote a reply, saying that MH Company still needed these software services and asked the Daqian not to terminate them without permission.
A few hours later, the Daqian's reply finally arrived. The chairman of MH Company, who had been waiting anxiously, rushed to the computer screen. However, he felt like he was going to explode after just one glance.
"What kind of words are these …" The chairman pointed at the dense square characters on the computer screen and asked with a pained expression.
"This should be Chinese!" The secretary said after carefully confirming it several times.
"Chinese … how can we understand this stupid language?!" The chairman scolded.
"Why don't we find someone who understands Chinese to translate it into English?" The secretary asked.
"No, there's no need to ask. I think this email just means that they are willing to continue providing us with services. There's nothing to ask. Would the Daqian really dare to terminate all of our software licenses?" The chairman of MH Company was stubborn, but he soon paid the price for it. An hour later, a string of words appeared on the desktop of all the computers in MH Company. It said, "We are very sorry, we are unable to provide you with services. The system will automatically restart and delete it after three hours!"
Well, the Daqian's Hongmeng System was fully connected to the Internet. As soon as the Internet was connected, they would immediately receive a message from the headquarters and respond immediately.
"Hurry up and find a Chinese translator!!" The chairman immediately shouted when he saw the message.
MH Company was built in a small town. In such a small place, it was difficult to find someone who understood Chinese. In the end, they found a couple who were traveling to Ezhou.
The couple glanced at the email and could not help but laugh. In the end, the husband translated, "You have been blacklisted by the Daqian. The people who are connected to the blacklist are the customer service in Hua Xia. They don't understand English, so they can only accept communications in Chinese!!"
"This is outrageous!!" The chairman was furious. "No matter which company we communicate with, we have always used English. Our company has been established for 60 years, and we have always used English. What is Chinese? I will never use Chinese. Go and send them another email in English. Ask them to restore our software immediately. Otherwise, I will sue them!!"
"Mr. Chairman, since it is a communication between a Chinese company and an English company, it is normal to use either language. There is no law in the country that requires communication in English."
"Also, from the looks of this email, you are the one who begged us to restore the Daqian Group. Shouldn't you have a begging attitude?" The husband questioned angrily. Then, he pulled his wife and left, leaving the chairman who was even more furious.
"Chairman, should we send an email in Chinese?"
"No!!" The chairman raised his head and said proudly, "As a great citizen of Ying State, even if MH's production stops and the company goes bankrupt, even if I, Jinzek Wong, starve to death, I will never send an email in Chinese. I will never send one!!!"
— — —
"Find a Chinese translator and help us write an email. Tell the Daqian Group that we are very willing to use the Daqian software and ask them to restore the use of our software." Early in the morning of the third day, the chairman, who had dark circles under his eyes, instructed his secretary.
He had no choice but to do so. After the software failed, not only did the entire company stop production, but all communication with customers also stopped. Half of the orders were gone. If he continued to insist, he would probably be beaten to death by the shareholders.
