Life 1984

Chapter 113: Catch the duck and put it on the shelves [Please subscribe]

Li Yunhai looked at the joint defenders and didn't take them to heart.

Joint security team members are located in every corner of the city, with 200 million people nationwide.

Those young men, wearing baggy security uniforms, looked at the dancers up and down, and said in a scornful tone: "Who allowed you to dance here? Each of you will be fined five yuan!"

Li Yunhai took a step forward and asked with a smile: "Who allowed you to come here to fine people?"

Lin Zhi smiled after hearing this.

Lin Zhenbang and Tang Yuxia couldn't help but smile. With Li Yunhai coming forward, they remained silent for the time being, wanting to see how Li Yunhai would handle this unexpected incident.

A thin man pointed at Li Yunhai and stuttered: "Who are you?"

Li Yunhai said proudly: "An ordinary citizen."

"What are you doing here?"

"Dance! You're not blind!"

"Hey, you, comrade, you are so, so awesome! You dance, do you still have a point?"

"Then let me ask you, what is the park used for?"

"A park is a park! What else can it be used for?"

"So you don't understand! A park is a place for the public to visit, watch, rest, carry out scientific and cultural activities, and exercise. Dancing is an activity that combines sports and entertainment. It can not only enhance friendship, but also improve physical and mental health. healthy!"

"No dancing here!" The thin man waved his hand vigorously, and the flashlight in his hand moved along with his arm.

"Did you stipulate it?" Li Yunhai retorted, "Could you take out the stipulation documents and take a look?"

"..." The thin man didn't expect that he would encounter a tough situation this time, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhuang Yong, who had been sitting nearby, came over and stood next to Li Yunhai to prevent the other party from using violence.

Li Yunhai's words calmed the security officers.

A tall security guard sneered and said loudly: "You gathered people to dance, have you reported it? If you don't report it, it is an illegal event!"

Li Yunhai chuckled: "Then when you gathered a crowd to impose a fine, who did you report it to? Is it considered a violation? The Public Security Joint Defense Team is essentially a mass autonomous organization. Its power is not authorized by law, but entrusted However, you cannot carry out specific administrative actions in your own name alone. Don’t you understand?"

The tall man and the thin man looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Li Yunhai's domineering and aggressive attitude made them afraid to act rashly.

These people are usually arrogant and arrest people and fine them at every turn, but they always pick up the soft ones and pinch them when they encounter the hard ones, and they can only leave in anger.

The young people cheered together and continued dancing.

Tang Yuxia said softly: "This Li Yunhai really has two skills and a very good mouth. No wonder he is so good at making money."

Lin Zhenbang frowned slightly and said, "These people are arbitrarily paying fines everywhere. Is this phenomenon common?"

"It's okay! I'm not sure."

"This is simply playing the piano randomly! You will be fined even if you dance! You are crazy about money!"

"Zhenbang, don't be angry, this matter is under the city's control."

Lin Zhenbang hummed heavily and danced with his wife.

Tired from dancing, Li Yunhai spread out the newspaper, placed the food he brought on it, and invited Lin Zhenbang and his wife to have something to eat together.

He thoughtfully spread out a few newspapers and invited Lin Zhenbang and Tang Yuxia to sit down.

A few people sat on the ground, eating, listening to music, blowing the cool breeze, and watching the young people dancing, which was very comfortable.

Lin Zhenbang is busy with work and has not enjoyed such family outdoor activities for a long time. He is extremely satisfied with Li Yunhai's arrangement.

They danced until 08:30 in the evening, when the park was about to close, and everyone left.

Li Yunhai sent Lin Zhenbang and others home first, and then headed back home.

"Zhuang Yong, thank you for your hard work today." Li Yunhai took out a pack of cigarettes and put it in his hand.

"Manager Li, you are too polite. I am helping you with things now! It's all what I should do. I usually don't have much to do, so you can just call me if you need anything."

"Okay. You can go back to the dormitory and rest!"

Li Yunhai entered the room, put down the cassette player, turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, picked up the newspaper, read it, and listened to the TV.

1984 was the most important year of reform for our country.

Comrade Xixian delivered an important speech in the south, calling for the eradication of poverty.

In September, the country promulgated the "Interim Regulations on Further Expanding the Autonomy of State-owned Industrial Enterprises", and later issued the "Decision on Economic System Reform".

Another major event with profound impact was that Tianqiao Department Store became the first joint-stock company in my country's history, and Shanghai Feile Audio Company issued shares worth 40 yuan.

The occurrence of these major events has made some people realize that a new era is coming, and people who are unwilling to be mediocre are eager to try, including many big names who will shine on the economic stage in the future.

After Li Yunhai read the newspaper, he took a pen and paper and went to his desk to write the speech for this Sunday evening.

He sincerely wanted to teach the students at the Youth Palace.

This is sowing the seeds of computer technology. The students he teaches will become teachers in the computer training center and teach more students.

After being busy until twelve o'clock in the evening, Li Yunhai went to bed.

Lin Zhi took the time to help him decorate the room.

There are many beautiful pictures posted on the wall, and some beautiful furnishings are placed on the table.

Linzhi also bought two green potted plants and placed them next to the TV and computer.

The whole room looks warm and comfortable.

Lying on the bed, Li Yunhai thought of Lin Zhi's graceful figure sleeping on his bed that night, and her curvaceous figure, and couldn't help but tossing and turning.

The next day was another busy day.

Shi Wenyin personally led a convoy to deliver goods to Li Yunhai. They set off yesterday evening and will arrive in Xizhou at noon today.

Since cooperating with Li Yunhai, the Shi family's goods were taken away by Li Yunhai almost as soon as they came in.

The two companies now have a close strategic partnership.

Li Yunhai did not go to Huacheng to look for other suppliers. He identified Shi Wentao's company and planned to continue the long-term cooperation.

There are many people engaged in this industry in coastal areas, mostly Tai businessmen and Hong Kong businessmen.

Hong Kong and Taiwan connect the world, and businessmen there have a broader horizon. They collect various goods from all over the world and sell them to the mainland.

At a time when the mainland's economy is on the rise, thanks to the results of reform and opening up, the people are extremely receptive to foreign things.Not to mention these high-tech products, even used clothes that have been discarded from abroad are sold in the mainland, and many people are rushing to buy them.

There are more people making hardware scrap parts, forming a huge industrial chain.

People in this industry are digging for gold in foreign garbage.

Li Yunhai has also become a link in this industrial chain.

He connects coastal wholesalers and inland sales links.

The Shi family now mainly relies on Li Yunhai for sales, so they attach great importance to his development and provide them with the support they can.

On this day, Shi Wenyin not only brought 500 computers, but also sent four trucks of used copy machines to Li Yunhai.

In addition, she also brought several late-model computers and photocopiers.

Among them is IBM's latest model 5170, which is often referred to as PC AT.

AT is the abbreviation of "Advanced Technology" in English. It introduced the standard 16-bit ISA bus and adopted the latest Intel 80286 processor at the time.

Due to software compatibility reasons, PC systems after 40 years still support the bus structure of PC/AT machines.

This is also a computer with mouse operation, which greatly enhances the computer's ease of use.

The operating system is DOS 1.0 and the memory is 64k.

This computer comes with a 10-megabyte hard drive and comes standard with a 12-inch monochrome monitor.

Additional color monitors and printers can be configured, which cost an additional US$3000 abroad. In China, the price will be three to five times higher.

This brand-new model is priced at 52000 yuan in China. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a sky-high price.

Shi Wenyin’s price to Li Yunhai was 3 yuan per unit.

Of course, this is the price of the sample, which she bought from a friend.

If Li Yunhai gets more goods, she can purchase them from overseas, and the price will be much cheaper.

In addition to IBM's latest PC, Shi Wenyin also brought an HP folding computer.

Folding computers are the prototype of laptop computers.This computer, modeled by Hewlett-Packard's HP 110, is priced at US$3000. It has built-in office software such as Lotus and uses a lead-acid battery with a 16-hour battery life.

The sample price Shi Wenyin gave Li Yunhai was also 3 yuan.

There are two types of copiers, one is Canon NP-9030, which is Canon's world's first digital laser copying system.

There is also a copier, the FT-4085 desktop copier from Toyo Ricoh Company.

These two copiers are also relatively mainstream products on the Chinese market.

Canon's price is 2.7, and Ricoh's is 4.68.

The sample prices Shi Wenyin gave Li Yunhai were 1.5 for Canon and 2.5 for Ricoh.

If Li Yunhai wants to get goods in bulk, he also needs to make a reservation, and the price can be more favorable.

Shi Wenyin said to Li Yunhai: "These machines are all well-sold models abroad. What I'm getting you now are samples. I got them from friends. How much did I buy them for? I’ll give you as much as you want, I didn’t make any money.”

Li Yunhai expressed his belief in this and did not care about it.

The total price of the four prototypes is 10 yuan.

Second-hand IBM 5150 computers cost 1700 yuan each. He bought 500 of them this time, and the price was 85 yuan.

He had to pay Shi Wenyin a total of 95 yuan for the goods.

"Miss Shi, I have to tell you something." Li Yunhai said helplessly, "The other party has settled the payment for the 600 computers I sold last time, but the money has not arrived yet. It should arrive today and tomorrow. Pay the bill. How about asking you to stay here for one more night? I will give it to you immediately after the money arrives."

Shi Wenyin pondered for a moment and agreed readily.

Since both parties cooperate sincerely, they should be given a certain amount of trust.

What's more, Li Yunhai only delayed the settlement for one day.

Bank transfers are too slow in this era. There is no way around this. It is not that Li Yunhai intends to delay.

Li Yunhai placed four brand new sample machines at the most eye-catching booth in the store.

At this point, Sihai Store officially starts selling new office equipment.

Because these devices are very expensive, sales outlets do not stock much stock, and purchasing units often need to reserve them in advance.

Li Yunhai took another unique purchasing channel because of the different channels for obtaining goods. If he wanted to sell these brand-new machines, he had to stock up on himself.

In other words, Li Yunhai is not a retail terminal, but one of the largest wholesalers in China.

Doing so will result in higher profits.

But the investment is also greater!

The risks involved can be imagined.

The replacement cycle of electronic products is terrifying!

A brand new product can take up to three years from release to discontinuation!
Some models that do not sell well may even be discontinued after only a year or two.

Like IBM's 5150 model, production abroad has been discontinued.

The IBM 5170 model was actually discontinued after three years.

Li Yunhai purchases 200 units at a time. If he cannot sell them all in a short period of time, as new models emerge, his machines will become inventory and can only be sold at a reduced price, and no one may buy them.

After all, new machines are expensive, and the purchasing unit spends the same price, of course, buying the new machine instead of the old one.

Li Yunhai believed that wealth can only be found in danger.

Moreover, with the rapid development of the domestic economy, the demand for computers by enterprises and institutions will show a huge growth spurt. He is betting on the future!

On the same day, Li Yunhai contacted Hu Zongwei, the vice president of Xijiang University, and said that 400 computers had arrived and were being sent over now.

Hu Zongwei said you can send it over, we are waiting to use it!

Several of the large trucks coming from Huacheng drove directly to Xijiang University in Hexi without stopping, and unloaded their cargo at the university's computer warehouse.

Hu Zongwei was very happy and said that Li Yunhai was really a trustworthy partner and had all the goods delivered so quickly.

He happily took Li Yunhai to settle the remaining payment.

The order for 1000 computers has been completed.

The amount of 400 million will be transferred to Li Yunhai's four accounts one after another.

In each account, there is a huge sum of more than 100 million!
After the funds arrived, Li Yunhai settled Shi Wenyin's 95 payment.

Because he got an extra 10 yuan for a sample machine and 100 more computers, Li Yunhai still had a balance of 306 million yuan in his bank deposit.

In addition, there are 100 computers in his warehouse and 50 refurbished copiers!

There are four brand new computers and photocopiers on this side of the facade.

These are all assets!

Calculating this, his total assets have reached about 400 million!
The last time he was at Lin Zhi's house, he said that he earned 333 million. He only counted the money in the bank, not the goods in the warehouse.

In more than two months, Li Yunhai completed the accumulation of initial capital and became the leading office equipment supplier in Xizhou.

This Sunday, Li Yunhai invited Hu Zongwei to dinner as promised.

He did not call anyone else, he accompanied Hu Zongwei alone, and the two of them drank two bottles of Maotai.

The inscription that Hu Zongwei promised to Li Yunhai has been written and brought over.

Li Yunhai unfolded the folded rice paper, looked at the words on it, and praised the writing well.

He put the letter frame away, took out a package from his briefcase, placed it in front of Hu Zongwei, and said with a smile: "Principal Hu, this is the writing fee. It is a trivial matter and not respectful."

Hu Zongwei looked at the package wrapped in newspaper, measured it slightly, and knew that there was at least 1 yuan in cash. He shook his head and waved his hands and said, "No, I can't accept it."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "I know that Principal Hu has a lot of money in his sleeves. This is just a retouching fee for your inscription. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad."

Hu Zongwei chuckled: "Comrade Xiao Li, I can chat with you, that's why I give you an inscription. You don't have to do this. My words are not worth so much money, I know it in my heart."

Li Yunhai said that calligraphers' calligraphy should not be sold cheaply, let alone given away easily.You have practiced for decades to be able to write this well. No matter how much money you give, it is not enough.As the saying goes, words are valuable but friendship is priceless. I will beg you again in the future!You can't give me free inscriptions every time, right?

Hu Zongwei looked at him deeply: "You are a good comrade!"

That day, the two came home drunk.

Li Yunhai returned home in a daze, fell on the bed, and just wanted to sleep.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

Li Yunhai sat up suddenly and opened the door.

Seeing that the person standing outside was Shen Xiulan, Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Xiulan, why are you here?"

Shen Xiulan stood outside the door and said anxiously: "Yunhai! There is class today! Have you forgotten? I have been waiting for you at the Youth Palace for a long time!"

Li Yunhai groaned, half awake from the wine.

Yes!

Today is Sunday, and I have to give a lecture at the Youth Palace in the evening!

Li Yunhai has been so busy recently that he suddenly forgot about this matter!
"I'm sorry, Xiulan, I invited someone to drink tonight and I drank a few more drinks. Now I'm dizzy and I'm afraid I won't be able to give lectures on stage."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Xiulan pointed to the watch on her wrist and said anxiously, "Look at the time! Class is about to begin! All the students are here! You punished someone for being late last time, and you still have to do it today? Are you going to miss work?"

Li Yunhai shook his head, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Well, Xiulan, you give me a lesson first! I'll take a cold shower and come, and I'll give the second lesson."

Shen Xiulan pouted, stamped her feet anxiously, and said, "How can I do that? I have never been on the podium. I am afraid that I will be too nervous to speak. What should I say on the stage?"

Li Yunhai took out his lesson preparation book, grabbed her hand, put it in her palm, and said: "The content of my lecture is all written here. You don't have to be afraid, just go on stage. They are all your students. , they know less about computers than you do. Everything you talk about is new to them!"

Shen Xiulan held the Japanese diary, gritted her teeth, and said, "You are trying to catch a duck! What if they ask me a question and I can't answer it?"

Li Yunhai shook his head and said, "It's better than me giving a drunken speech on stage, right? Just go! They won't ask any difficult questions. I'll come back later."

Shen Xiulan had no choice but to support Li Yunhai and asked with concern: "How are you? Does it matter? If not, forget it? I'll tell them that you have something to do at home and can't come today. Just stay at home and take care of yourself." Get some sleep."

Li Yunhai smiled drunkenly: "I'm fine! Go quickly."

Shen Xiulan saw that time was waiting for no one, and she didn't care much, so she rushed to the Youth Palace on her bicycle.

Li Yunhai fetched several buckets of cold water, went to the tree outside the house, poured it over his head, and instantly sobered up a lot.

He took a shower, sat next to the bed, burped, and fell on the bed. He thought about lying there for another five minutes, but ended up snoring again and falling asleep.
