Life 1984

Chapter 247 Sounding the Horn of Battle

Li Yunhai contacted the Xizhou City Department and asked about the exact area of ​​the land.

The other party's reply was 5.5 square meters.

After careful consideration, Li Yun finally acquired this 5.5-square-meter piece of land.

With such good land, as long as high-rise buildings are built, there will be countless financial resources.

After the trip to Xiangjiang, Li Yunhai's ambition and vision have further expanded.

Li Yunhai wants to build a financial center similar to Xiangjiang Central in the center of Xizhou, named "Sihai International Financial Center".

In his preliminary idea, Sihai Center covers an area of ​​5.5 square meters, with a total construction area of ​​about 76 square meters. It is composed of four towers and podiums. The height of towers No. 248 and 50 is 5 meters, and each tower has a height of 1 meters. It has 7 floors, 8 underground floors, and commercial podiums from 50 to 20 above ground. Floors 41 to 19 are office floors, of which the 40th and 50st floors are refuge floors, and the [-]th, [-]th and [-]th floors are transaction floors.

This is a large-scale project integrating commerce, offices, hotels and accommodation.

The four towers have a total commercial area of ​​21 square meters, an office area of ​​29.1 square meters, and an apartment area of ​​7.6 square meters.There is also a hotel in the design with more than 230 guest rooms.

The total investment in such a building is more than 10 billion yuan.

The construction period is between 5 and 7 years.

The four towers will be delivered separately, and the first tower will be delivered soon after 1991.

And 1992 happened to be the most critical node in my country's reform and opening up.

After the building is completed, the demand for both commercial and office buildings will increase significantly.

Sihai Center will definitely become the largest office building in the entire central region, attracting a large number of multinational and cross-border companies to rent it.

From the history of Hong Kong's wealthy families, it is not difficult to see that every billionaire's family that has been passed down for decades will build a building.

Li Jiacheng, Mr. Fok, Ship King and others are all building buildings in the most luxurious business districts everywhere.

High-rise buildings are one of the most effective ways for billionaires to preserve and increase their value.

A building, with an investment of several billion or even tens of billions, must be a local landmark building. Whether it is in Hong Kong or in the mainland, it will become a place for businesses to compete for lease.

What's more, Xizhou is Li Yunhai's base camp and the place of Longxing of the Sihai Group.

Li Yunhai's large-scale construction here can not only increase the value of assets in land and real estate, but also stimulate local economic development through investment means, thus gaining the respect of the local government office.

It’s an investment that brings fame and wealth.

Sure enough, when Li Yunhai presented his latest investment plan, the Xizhou Government Department was overjoyed and said they would hold a special seminar and a banquet to thank him.

Li Yunhai said don't make up for these lies, just go to my company and purchase more office equipment.

Of course, the leaders of the city department agreed and said that they would purchase more from Sihai Company in the future.

In order to show their sincerity, the city department leaders immediately placed a large order to purchase 500 computer typewriters and 500 Sihai assembled computers.

Let’s talk about that night, Li Yunhai returned home.

Zhuang Yong has returned in his Rolls Royce.

In the early 80s, as the exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland gradually increased, Hong Kong-branded cars with mainland vehicle license plates also emerged.

The earliest Guangdong and Hong Kong license plates had the license plate number in the form of "75 Hong Kong A" plus 4 digits.

With the changes in license plates in mainland my country, the styles of Guangdong and Hong Kong license plates have also undergone corresponding changes several times.

There are several types of license plates for both places. Some allow free passage between Hong Kong and the mainland, while others restrict travel between Guangdong and Hong Kong.

But as long as Hong Kong-branded cars can enter Lingnan, they can basically do so unhindered in the mainland. No fool would stop and fine such a vehicle.

Chen Wanzhao had previously invested in Guangdong and Hong Kong, and even in Shanghai, Beijing, and other places. Several vehicles under his name had obtained license plates from both places.

Billionaires like him were the targets of investment promotion in the Mainland at that time, so it was naturally convenient.

Just like Mr. Huo who invested in the White Swan Hotel, the mainland must be very convenient for him to travel in various ways.

Many privileges are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After Li Yunhai's Rolls-Royce came back, Lin Xiaofeng and others came to watch.

Amy is a person who knows things well. She touched the car body and smiled at Li Yunhai: "Brother-in-law, this is a real luxury car. I haven't ridden in it yet! Take me for a ride."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Okay, everyone get in the car and we will go around the city."

He drove the car himself, Lin Zhi sat in the passenger seat, and three women, Lin Xiaofeng, Amy and Lin Xin, sat in the back seat.

Li Yunhai drove the car carefully along several main roads in the city, and then stopped outside the night market street to treat everyone to a midnight snack.

It was already 11:30 when I got home.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi went to bed to rest.

This time, Lin Zhi was particularly proactive.

She used to be Tian.

Today she looks like a farmer plowing the fields.

Moreover, he is the kind of farmer who has just been assigned a responsibility field and works tirelessly on his own land.

I don't know what time it was before the two fell asleep hugging each other.

The next day, Li Yunhai came to the company.

The employees were extremely happy to see him and shouted to him happily: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

Li Yunhai smiled and greeted everyone.

As soon as he sat down in the office, Shen Xiulan walked in.

"Yunhai, you're back." Shen Xiulan smiled brightly, sat down opposite him, and asked, "Is Xiangjiang fun?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said it was fun, took out a gift he bought in Xiangjiang and handed it to her.

Shen Xiulan reached out to take it and asked curiously: "What? Such a small box? It can't be gold and silver jewelry, right?"

"Ah? That's not it. Giving you gold, silver and jewelry, how tacky is that?"

"I'm just a vulgar person who likes vulgar things. From now on, just hit me hard with these vulgar things."

"Uh!"

Shen Xiulan opened the gift box with a smile and saw a box of lipsticks. There were four lipsticks in each box, each in a daily color.

"Ah, what a beautiful lipstick. The tube looks special." Shen Xiulan didn't know anything about the brand of cosmetics. She only knew that this lipstick was very beautiful and definitely not cheap.

Li Yunhai said: "Don't use the one I gave you last time. I dropped it twice!"

"That's right!" Shen Xiulan closed the lid and smiled, "But that's the first lipstick you gave me. Even if I don't use it, I will keep it."

Li Yunhai felt a strange ripple in his heart and said, "How can a broken lipstick be worth collecting?"

Shen Xiulan pursed her lips slightly and said quietly: "What I treasure is the affection between us. Although it is gone forever, I still keep it in my heart."

Li Yunhai sighed softly, looking at her beautiful and fair face, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was eating barbecue in Xiangjiang.

"Xiulan, are you still coming to my house to learn foreign languages ​​at night?"

"I go occasionally. Lin Zhi is very busy recently. She has to organize a class reunion and is in contact with people every night. You see how good they are. They have a class reunion less than two years after graduation."

"Well, do you still have contact with your old classmates?"

"Just two female classmates who play well in school, and occasionally exchange letters."

"Is it Jiang Lijuan? The other one is Bai Xiaoxi?"

"How did you know?"

"Ha! How could I not know about your bestie? By the way, do you like barbecue? I brought a very good barbecue stove back from Xiangjiang. Tonight, you come to my house and have barbecue together! In winter, How fun it would be to have barbecue at night.”

"Okay, let's talk around the fire and have good wine and food. It's fun to think about it! Xiaoling lives with me now, can I bring her over?"

"Of course. I've always treated her like a sister."

"Xiaoling still misses you so much! She still remembers what you said, saying that if you became a brother-in-law, you would buy her bananas every day. It's a pity that you -"

Shen Xiulan was mid-sentence and quickly took it back, a blush flashing on her bright face.

"I report the financial work to you." Shen Xiulan placed a stack of reports in front of Li Yunhai and said, "While you were away from the company, we received several large orders. One was for a Xiangjiang businessman to buy back [-] computer typewriters. , the purchase amount reached [-] million.”

Li Yunhai had heard about this from Lin Zhi and nodded: "Sihai typewriters are sold in Hong Kong for almost 2 Hong Kong dollars each, and they are still very popular. It can be seen that our typewriters are very in line with the needs of the market. So we will A second generation product was developed.”

Shen Xiulan continued the report: "There is another big order, placed by the bank, for 1000 assembly machines, 100 copy machines, and 1000 computer typewriters."

Li Yunhai asked: "Did they add 100 more copiers later?"

"Yes, but the order is for a second-hand Ricoh copier. Linzhi made the decision and said he would give them the biggest discount, 1 yuan per unit. So the total amount of the bank's order is 3300 million."

"Okay, that's pretty good. Today the leaders of the city department promised me to purchase 500 assembly machines and 500 computer typewriters from our company. The order may be placed in the next two days."

"Yes, I understand. There are also some other retail incomes. The retail income of Xizhou Sihai Store is 1200 million, and the retail income of Huacheng Sihai Store is 500 million. The income of Sihai Computer School-"

Shen Xiulan told Li Yunhai every calculation.

She was calculating the company's accounts, but her mood was extremely passionate!
Li Yunhai earned all this money in a short period of time!

It’s incredible!
If Shen Xiulan had not come to be the financial manager, how could she have known that Li Yunhai made money so easily?

You can easily earn tens or hundreds of millions of dollars!
The company has grown bigger, the business has started, and making money is so easy!
More people can only clock in and clock out step by step. After working hard for a month, they can only get a salary of dozens or hundreds of dollars.

What's so different about Li Yunhai's head?How can you make money like this?
Shen Xiulan couldn't help but laugh when she thought that when Li Yunhai resigned, the Shen family thought that this person was useless and hopeless.

Li Yunhai was once looked down upon by the Shen family.

Today, Li Yunhai is beyond the reach of the Shen family.

After Li Yunhai finished her report, he thought of something and asked, "Do those domestic buyers have repeat customers?"

Shen Xiulan was stunned and said, "You have to ask Manager Zhao Jinping about this. He is in charge of sales."

Li Yunhai snorted and said, "Okay. Thank you for your hard work, Xiulan."

Shen Xiulan smiled and shook her head, holding up the lipstick box: "It's my turn to say thank you. I like this gift very much, especially when you are on a business trip and remember to buy me a gift. This shows that the friendship between us is still It’s always there.”

Li Yunhai looked at her with a smile.

She was really different, with a confident look on her face and stars in her eyes. She was still as reserved and docile as ever, but a little more calm and cheerful.

When they broke up, the self-pitying and entangled Shen Xiulan disappeared. Now she is a powerful financial manager. She looks young, but she is calm and collected. Every account, no matter how small, is in her hands. It will also be calculated clearly.

Li Yunhai asked: "Xiulan, do you regret resigning?"

Shen Xiulan replied: "I have never considered this issue. I like my current job very much. This is my job and the job that best reflects the value of my life."

At this time, Zhao Jinping walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, smiling: "Hello, Mr. Li, Mr. Shen."

Shen Xiulan walked out with a smile: "Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Jinping walked in. He also held a stack of reports in his hands. He held them in both hands and handed them to Li Yunhai for review with a smile.

Li Yunhai took a look and asked: "How many domestic buyers have repurchased?"

Zhao Jinping said: "Mr. Li, I was just about to talk to you about this. Now there is another computer typewriter on the market, called Lianxiang typewriter. It is produced by Lianxiang Company of Beijin Research Institute. Its functions are similar to ours. As for whether it infringes our patent rights, this remains to be investigated.”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, what is supposed to come will always come!

There is no doubt that Lianxiang Company is Sihai Company's biggest competitor in China!

Not only is this true now, but it will be true for decades to come.

Li Yunhai once thought about merging with Lianxiang, but the founder of Lianxiang was also a powerful figure and did not want to be inferior to others, so the acquisition ended in failure.

Now that the other party has also launched a computer typewriter, it will inevitably affect the sales of Sihai brand computer typewriters.

Zhao Jinping looked at Li Yunhai's reaction. He thought the boss would be furious, but he didn't expect the other person to be so calm. He couldn't help but admire him secretly. He was indeed a big boss, and he didn't change his face even if the mountain collapsed!

"Mr. Zhao," Li Yunhai asked in a deep voice, "Do you sell Lianxiang typewriters in Xizhou?"

"Not yet. It is impossible for us Sihai to cooperate with them. Wuyiwen and Kewen companies will only sell Sihai typewriters. Even if Lianxiang typewriters enter our Xizhou, there will definitely be no market."

"Well, in this case, you can find a way to buy two Lianxiang typewriters from other places."

"Okay, I understand. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle!"

"That's the truth. How much do they sell for?"

"More than 1, it seems to be 12800 yuan!"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Interesting, we sell it for 13800 yuan, but their price is one thousand less than us!"

Zhao Jinping said: "Isn't that right? They want to start a price war with us! So I was just thinking about asking Mr. Li whether our computer typewriters should also be sold at a reduced price? Otherwise, buyers will definitely come to Lianxiang. We have cooperated. I heard that they will also hold a national dealer conference to promote it nationwide."

Li Yunhai wiped his face, and Lian Xiang's battle horn had already sounded!
Since 1986, domestic microcomputer technology has developed rapidly, and the procurement budgets for computers and other office equipment will gradually increase in various places.

There are more and more computer companies in China.

The comfortable period for Sihai Group has passed.

Next, Li Yunhai will face competitors from domestic and even foreign countries.

But if there is a price war, Li Yunhai has never been afraid of anyone.

Because he knew that the cost of Lianxiang Company was much higher than that of Sihai Company.

Li Yunhai cooperates with the Shanghai Typewriter Factory, ordering [-] or [-] units each time. He has suppressed the manufacturer's profits to the extreme.

Lianxiang Company does not have sufficient funds as Li Yunhai. They can only order Lianxiang typewriters in quantities of a few thousand or [-] units, and there is definitely no advantage in terms of price.In addition, Professor Ni and his team were recruited by Li Yunhai, and the Chinese Lenovo input technology was also brought over.

Lianxiang Company either does not have this technology, or it can only find another way and invest heavily in research and development of new technology, or ask Professor Ni for authorization. No matter what the other party does, it will lag behind Sihai Company.

Zhao Jinping proposed to sell at a lower price?
Li Yunhai thought for a moment before replying: "After our second-generation computer typewriter comes on the market, the price of the first-generation product will be reduced."

Zhao Jinping asked: "How long will it take for the second generation typewriter to be produced? How much will the price of the first generation be reduced?"

Li Yunhai said: "I don't know yet. I just came back and I have to ask Professor Ni for advice. There is no need to worry about this. The difference of 1000 yuan is not very big. The dealer can also adjust the selling price himself."

Zhao Jinping said: "The problem now is that very few domestic buyers are buying back."

After the Canton Fair in October, that is, in early November, dealers began to pick up computer typewriters from Sihai Company.

It’s already the end of January, two or three months later!

The first batch of buyers will naturally need to replenish their supplies!

Is it really because Lianxiang Company has released the same competing product, so buyers want to wait and see?Wait until you attend Lianxiang's dealer conference before making a decision on which product to sell?
Li Yunhai asked: "When will the Lianxiang dealer conference be held?"

"This Sunday."

"February 2nd? Isn't that just our New Year's Eve in the South?"

"Yes, today is Monday. That means there are still six days left."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go to the scientific research institute."

Li Yunhai called Zhuang Yong and drove to the Provincial Chemical Research Institute.

Professor Ni and the comrades in the scientific research team are working hard.

Li Yunhai walked in without attracting their attention.

It wasn't until someone raised his sore neck and stretched out his hand to rub his cervical spine that he realized that it was Li Yunhai who came. He shouted in surprise: "Mr. Li is here!"

Everyone just woke up from a dream and stood up to greet Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai gave them the best welfare benefits and won everyone's love and affection.

He waved to everyone and said: "Hello everyone! Please continue to work, I will chat with Professor Ni."

Someone stood up and told him that Professor Ni was in the office.

Li Yunhai came to Professor Ni's office.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a different typewriter on Professor Ni's desk.

Li Yunhai thought it was the second generation of Sihai typewriter, but he immediately discovered that it was not because the screen was small.

"Professor Ni!" Li Yunhai shouted with a smile, "What are you studying?"

Professor Ni pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is back. Come, come and take a look at this typewriter."

Li Yunhai saw the trademark on the typewriter and said, "Is this the Lianxiang typewriter?"

Professor Ni said: "Yes, I heard that they came out with a typewriter, so I bought one. I have already disassembled it, and I will wait for you to come back and show it to you."

"Haha!" Li Yunhai laughed, "I was just about to buy theirs and dismantle it! Unexpectedly, Professor Ni has already taken the lead. Well, you can reimburse the purchase cost."

Professor Ni said: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Li. You can try this typewriter."

Li Yunhai turned on the phone, tried typing a few lines, and said, "They are using the Pinyin input method!"

"Yes, it is the Pinyin input method, and it also has a predictive input function. The technical content of this typewriter is very high!"

"How high? Is it as high as three or four stories?"

"Huh?" Professor Ni is an honest person and cannot understand the joke made by Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Professor Ni, this is the challenge our competitors are challenging us! If we want to win this war, we must come up with second-generation new products as soon as possible."

Professor Ni said: "Our second-generation product has already taken shape. Come on, I will take you to the laboratory to have a look."

Li Yunhai was pleasantly surprised: "Is it so fast?"

Professor Ni said: "How difficult is this? Isn't it just an upgrade? It's very simple. The touch panel is also easily compatible! The old guys in the north have long developed a touch panel foldable computer, but it's just not selling well. . I went to their Microcomputer Exchange Conference in Moscow last time and saw their finished products."

Li Yunhai was surprised: "Really? Scientists in Moscow have already developed a touch-screen notebook?"

Professor Ni led Li Yunhai to the laboratory and said: "Laptop? They call it a folding computer, but I think the name notebook is more appropriate. Yes, it is a computer with a touch panel as a screen, but it doesn't feel very convenient. We operate it When working on a computer, your hands usually don’t have to leave the keyboard. Now that you have a mouse, you can position the cursor more accurately, so what’s the use of a touch screen? It’s flashy!”

Li Yunhai immediately thought of the reason, because the current system could not keep up with the development of touch screens.

Today's systems are all DOS systems and don't even have a graphical interface.

Although many software have simple graphical interfaces, they are also developed based on DOS systems, and the benefits of touch screens are indeed not reflected.

It is extremely convenient to apply the touch panel to the computer typewriter and develop a graphical operation menu, which can be operated on the screen with your fingers!
This is also the trick that Li Yunhai thought of!
In the laboratory, the prototype of the second-generation typewriter was already in existence.

Professor Ni explained the operation to Li Yunhai.

This typewriter has an 8-inch touchpad screen, which is equivalent to the size of the later Apple MINI tablet.

All operations are menu-based. You can select language, font, font size, and font color!

Each option can be opened and confirmed with your finger.

Because the screen is large enough, more text content can be accommodated on the screen.

The previous screen could only accommodate five lines of text.

As for Lianxiang Company’s typewriter, it can only hold one line of text!
After Professor Ni finished explaining, he said, "Mr. Li, this typewriter is indeed more high-end than the first generation, but it also has a fatal weakness."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "I know, the cost is higher!"

Professor Ni said: "Yes, the cost is higher! Because such a large touch panel is added! The cost has directly increased by 3000 yuan! If the selling price is not adjusted, our profits will be very low."

Li Yunhai was mentally prepared and said: "Of course adjustments must be made! The second generation Sihai brand typewriter is priced at 15800 yuan!"

"Selling it so expensive?" Professor Ni crossed his arms and muttered, "In this way, the profit has indeed increased. But will anyone buy such an expensive product? Is there a market? Lianxiang's product only sells for 12800 yuan !”

Li Yunhai smiled confidently: "Lian Xiang, what kind of product is that? It can't be compared with our Sihai typewriter at all. If someone can accept the 13800 yuan first-generation product, they can definitely accept our second-generation product. Our The second-generation product is more like a computer because it has an independent large screen and a graphical easy-to-operate menu, which is extremely friendly to the majority of grassroots workers.”

"That's true. They don't need to understand English or memorize command formats. As long as they recognize the words on the screen, they will know how to operate."

"So, I think this is the real computer smart typewriter! The advancement of technology is to make humans lazy! There must be a market for things that can make people lazy!"

"Oh, Mr. Li, your theory is very good! This is the category of economics!"

"Haha, I'm just talking. Professor Ni, when will this new product be ready for mass production?"

"It can be done now! It can be done at any time, but this kind of touch panel screen can only be imported from abroad. Now it is generally only used in high-end car consoles, such as General Motors' Visual Information Center."

Li Yunhai only knew that there was such a thing, but he didn't know much about the history of this touch screen, so he asked Professor Ni for advice.

Professor Ni was indeed an encyclopedia and told him about the birth of the touch screen.

In 1971, Samuel Hast, a physicist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States, was teaching at the University of Kentucky. The massive amount of student homework required him to review a large number of graphics and data every day. This repetitive work made him It was so annoying that he began to think about ways to improve efficiency.

Professor Ni smiled and said: "Look, the theory of laziness you just mentioned has been put into practice again. In order to be lazy, this Haast wanted to develop a screen that can be directly controlled by touching with fingers to handle work. It is done by hand. Touch points instead of typing on the keyboard. He developed the first generation product, the resistive touch screen, in 1977. He resigned and happily founded the company. Two years later, the company's products had begun to take shape, but At the end of the year, Hastert had only $10 left!"

Li Yunhai burst into laughter: "What a brave man!"

Professor Ni said: "There are two types of touch screens on the market now, one is the infrared CRT touch screen and the other is the resistive touch screen. Sales are both very poor. In 1980, Haster's goal was to sell 10 pieces of products every day. "

Li Yunhai certainly knows about resistive touch screens.

Until 2007, when capacitive touch screens were applied to smartphones, resistive touch screens were the dominant touch screen type on the market.

Resistive touch screens use pressure-sensitive applications to control the conductive state of the screen.

Its structure is basically a film plus glass. The adjacent sides of the film and glass are coated with ITO, which is a nano-indium tin metal oxide coating. ITO has good conductivity and transparency.

When a person's finger touches the screen, the ITO on the lower layer of the film will contact the ITO on the upper layer of the glass. In the next step, the sensor transmits the corresponding signal, which is sent to the processor through the conversion circuit, and then converted into the X and Y values ​​on the screen through calculation. , thereby completing the clicking action and presenting it on the screen.

Li Yunhai asked Professor Ni to clarify the principle of the touch screen and asked: "Professor Ni, can we localize this touch screen?"

"Localization? Of course. But it requires patented technology."

"Well, then let's buy out this technology!"

“Buy out Hastert’s resistive touch screen technology?”

"Yes, if we can buy it out, that would be the best. If the other party refuses to sell it no matter how much we ask, then we will get his authorization. This is the most important invention in the field of microcomputers."

"This technology can indeed be applied to the field of microcomputers. Do you really think this technology is important? Nowadays, more and more foreign countries are applying it to cars and televisions. Computers equipped with touch screens are not very popular."

"It's okay, we are looking forward to the future! Maybe one day, touch screen computers will also be widely accepted by consumers?"

"Okay, since you have this idea, I'll try to contact Hastert's company to see if they are willing to sell it. What price can you offer?"

"In this case, you ask him first to see what kind of price the other party offers. If it is several million dollars, I can consider it. By the way, have they not registered a patent in our country?"

"no!"

"Then we can use this patent without paying a dime in royalties?"

"Of course. However, if our products are sold to the United States, we will encounter patent lawsuits."

"Well, so you'd better contact the other party first!"

Professor Ni was also a resolute person and immediately went back to the office to make a phone call.

Li Yunhai continued to visit the laboratory.

He also has a very important technology, which is micro-piezoelectric inkjet technology, which is still under intense research and development.

Li Yunhai learned about the progress of relevant technologies from scientific researchers.

Compared with the upgrading of computer typewriters, micro-piezoelectric inkjet technology is not so fast!
Li Yunhai encouraged them a few words and then came to Professor Ni's office.

Professor Ni is still on the phone with the American side.

He also found the contact number of the American Hastert Company through a friend in Canada.

Professor Ni's English level is extremely high and he speaks fluently, which makes Li Yunhai feel inferior.

After putting down the phone, Professor Ni smiled and said: "They are very generous and say that if you want to use this technology, you can use it! Haster registered the patent just to indicate that he is the inventor, and he did not intend to sell this technology. Make money. It's equivalent to an open source technology. He also said that if you can order a touch screen from him, he will be very happy."

Li Yunhai thought to himself that in this era, the fields of touch screen applications were not widespread, so people were so generous.Because I can’t sell a few machines anyway.

But when it comes to matters like patents, if you really want to argue about it, a verbal authorization like today's cannot be used as evidence at all.

Li Yunhai decided to buy the other party's patent for the sake of insurance.It is necessary to obtain the patent authorization letter from the other party.

Seeing how determined Li Yunhai was, Professor Ni called Haster Company again.

Hastert Company says it can be sold, as long as you pay $200 million!
Since he founded the company, he is still far away from earning US$200, let alone US$20 million!

Hastert applied touch screens to computers and televisions, but neither achieved the desired results.

Now, suddenly, there was an unjust enemy from a big Eastern country who was actually willing to acquire this useless technology, which Hastert could only wish for.

Who can see the world 10 years from now?
If Li Yunhai had not been reborn, he would not have been able to see the future world, nor would he have known about the major applications of this technology in various fields, especially the mobile phone field!

Professor Ni told Li Yunhai that the price offered by the other party was as high as 200 million US dollars!
When Li Yunhai heard that Hastert had offered a high price of US$200 million, he smiled slightly and said, "Agree!"

Purchasing a patent is not a big or small matter.

To be cautious, Li Yunhai had to go to the United States in person to sign a patent transfer contract with Hastert in person.

Li Yunhai can also entrust Professor Ni to go there and let him sign on his behalf.

However, Professor Ni would be more effective if he stayed at the institute.

But Li Yunhai is a boss, so he is much more leisurely.

Therefore, Li Yunhai decided to fly to the United States in person and sign a patent transfer agreement with Hastert Company.

In Li Yunhai's view, this technology will definitely be of great use in the future!
However, he has no time recently and has to wait for the Chinese New Year.

Professor Ni made an appointment with Hastert Company to sign a patent transfer agreement one month later.

Hastert Company replied that it is waiting for your visit at any time.

It seems that the other party is very happy to sell it for a high price of 200 million US dollars.

Professor Ni said to Li Yunhai: "Mr. Li, people don't value this technology! Are you sure you want to buy it at a high price?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Buy it! I always believe that science and technology are the primary productive forces."

"Of course! This is absolutely true! It depends on what kind of technology and what field it is applied to."

"Professor Ni, we still have an important thing to do before the end of the year. I want to purchase a batch of touch screens, and we want to produce a batch of second-generation computer typewriters."

"Are you so anxious to start production?"

"Yes, I want to do something big!"

"What's the big deal?"

"Isn't Lianxiang Company going to hold a dealer meeting? I also want to hold a dealer meeting! They have scheduled it for February 2, and we are also scheduled to hold a dealer meeting on this day!"

"Are you quarreling with Lianxiang Company?"

"They lowered the price first! Don't blame me for being ruthless! Hehe!"
