章節 111: Chapter 105: The Foundation of Social Hierarchy

"Dean, back to business, Morgan Tailer can't do much with CompuServe. They're determined to enter the international market, so they've made a whole new adjustment to their payment model."

Gary pulled out a document from his desk and handed it over to Dean, "Look, individual users are still charged by the hour.

But for BBS and other commercial websites, CompuServe has adopted a volume-based charging model. The greater the traffic, the higher the charge.

Clearly, Price's List is the one with the highest traffic among commercial websites. Add in the server costs, and that's how you get an exorbitant expenditure of 20,000 US Dollars."

"So we have no other choice?" Dean was already prepared for this; until the networks were interconnected, Price's List was in a passive position.

Facing his probing gaze, Gary shrugged, "Luckily, we do have a bit of room to negotiate, don't forget that Morgan Tailer is a venture capital firm."
