Life 1984

Chapter 323 I’m afraid this wine is not serious
Li Yunhai stayed at the Nanjing Road store for two hours and saw many customers coming in. The most people were asking about typewriters and computers. However, he found a problem, that is, the shopping guide's introduction to Longteng PC was not comprehensive, and he did not say this. Here are the features of this computer.

He discussed with Gong Jie that it was necessary to train shopping guides to make them more familiar with the characteristics of the products.

Gong Jie said that you happen to be here, so can I ask you to train me?

Li Yunhai said that he would ask them to work overtime tonight and I would give them training. The training location would be at the store. It would start at seven o'clock in the evening and last until ten o'clock, three hours.

The store here is large and usually has a lot of customers. There are four female shopping guides in total.

Gong Jie informed them that they would stay and work overtime for three hours of training in the evening.

Li Yunhai looked at the business hours and said: "The business hours of other branches have been extended to nine o'clock in the evening. Do you also want to extend your working hours? Many office workers only have time to go shopping at night. Now. We pay attention to the night economy. Although Shanghainese don’t live a night life, they should be able to work until [-] p.m.”

Gong Jie said: "We work on Saturday and Sunday nights, and we work until 09:30 on these two days, so let's change this work schedule from now on!"

At 11:30 in the morning, Li Yunhai and Gong Jie went to Yangtze River Hotel.

The branch also bought a Santana for Gong Jie, and two small trucks for daily delivery.

Gong Jie got her driver's license and drove very steadily.

Li Yunhai sat in her passenger seat.

After arriving at the Yangtze River Hotel, the two chose a quiet seat.

Because they didn't know how many people were coming, they chose a larger table and ordered their meals first.

At twelve o'clock, the other party did not come on time.

Gong Jie looked at the time and said, "Shall I make a call and ask?"

Li Yunhai said: "They have already got off work, unless you have his phone?"

Gong Jie said no, and the two of them could only wait.

After another 10 minutes, the waiter came over and asked if the food could be served?

Li Yunhai, tell me!Whether they come or not, we have to eat.

Gong Jie sighed: "What you said about these people is true. We made an appointment at 12 o'clock, but it's almost 12:[-] and they still haven't come!"

While the food was being served, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head came over.

Gong Jie stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, Leader Zhao Ji! Please sit down."

Zhao Ji looked at them and asked, "Comrade Gong Xue, who is this?"

Gong Jie smiled and said: "He is Li Yunhai, the boss of our Sihai Group."

Li Yunhai smiled slightly, stood up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, Leader Zhao, I am Li Yunhai from Sihai Group. Please give me your advice."

Zhao Ji did not shake hands with Li Yunhai, but sat down directly and said, "Comrade Gong Jie, I only came out to eat for your sake. Don't bring irrelevant people!"

Li Yunhai's face froze, thinking that this person had a very official accent.

He didn't care, he took back his hand and sat down.

Gong Jie felt very embarrassed and said: "Boss Zhao, our President Li came all the way from Xizhou just to develop the SH market. You are the first customer that our President Li has met."

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "We won't talk about business during meal time."

He didn't even have a perfunctory explanation as to why he was so late, as if he was used to it.

Eating Western food and drinking red wine will make you eat a meal quickly.

After the meal, Gong Jie mentioned purchasing again.

She invites people out for dinner just to discuss purchases, otherwise the meal would be in vain.

Zhao Ji took out two paper towels, wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth, and said: "You have told me this matter several times, and I am inclined to purchase it from you. But the city's requirement is to purchase Donghai from our city. Computers. You all know Donghai Computer, which is our famous domestic product, with a market share of 75%! It is not comparable to niche brands like yours."

Li Yunhai couldn't help but laughed angrily: "Boss Zhao, Sihai Group's Longteng PC has gone abroad. Even foreigners buy our computers. How come it has become a niche brand when it comes to your mouth? Donghai Computer used to Our market share is indeed very high, and that is due to planned procurement. The market share you mentioned is also in the past tense. When I say this, I do not mean to slander our peers. I admit that our peers are all excellent, but our For computers, the benchmark is not domestic, but big brands like IBM and Compaq.”

Zhao Ji glanced at him and said: "Of course you said that, Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself! But our purchasing unit still only recognizes the big brand Donghai! Donghai was founded in 1966. In what year were you founded? "

Li Yunhai was stunned. In terms of years of establishment, there is really no comparison.

Gong Jie said: "Our company was established in 1984, but we have grown very quickly!"

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "Look, you have only been established for three years, how can you compare with other old brands? Donghai Computer produced large computers in 1974. In 1984, Donghai PC had an annual output of [-] units. !You have just been established!"

Li Yunhai thought to himself that he had underestimated this guy. He seemed to be uneducated, but he was actually a very knowledgeable person.

Since he is a knowledgeable person, it will be easy to do things.

Li Yunhai started by talking about the three major components of a computer: chips, memory, and motherboards.

Sihai Computer uses self-designed and produced chips, and the performance of the chips is as powerful as those produced by Intel.

Donghai Computer uses an imitation Intel chip with the same instruction system. It is composed of four large-scale integrated circuits using N-channel silicon gate MOS technology and is controlled by microprograms.

The algorithms and functions of these two chips are completely different.

Zhao Ji let out a slight sigh and put away his contempt for Li Yunhai just now.He had seen Li Yunhai so young before, so he definitely didn't know much about computer technology and was nothing more than a computer dealer.

Hearing what Li Yunhai said so eloquently, he couldn't help but be impressed.

Li Yunhai also talked about the Nikon chip lithography machine and memory production line that Sihai Group spent a huge amount of money to introduce, as well as the Longteng motherboard independently developed by Sihai Group.

The performance and speed of Longteng PC are 286 times that of IBM1.7 microcomputer. As for how many times it is that of Donghai PC, there is no need to test this, it is at least 3 times more.

Zhao Ji looked disapproving and said: "So what? Donghai PC can also be used! We still support domestic brands!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Longteng PC is also a domestic brand, and all accessories are produced and assembled domestically. Our computers are the most cost-effective."

His words left Zhao Ji speechless.

Finally, Li Yunhai made the lowest quotation for his two high-end and low-end computers. The high-end Longteng PC was quoted at 2 yuan, and the low-end one was quoted at 1.3 yuan.

Such a price can be said to be extremely low.

If the other party is still unwilling to purchase, Li Yunhai feels that it is not cost-effective and the purchase order can be discarded.

He has long understood that if your products are good enough, others will definitely buy your products.

In any industry, unless it is a monopoly, no company can dominate the world.

Not even IBM.

Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and said, "I know, I will seriously consider it. Comrade Gong Jie, thank you for inviting me to dinner. Goodbye."

With that, he got up and left.

Gong Jie watched him walk away and said, "Mr. Li, he is a bit rude, please don't mind."

Li Yunhai said: "It's okay. If I don't even have this magnanimity, I won't do business. We are looking for him to do business. He is the buyer, so of course he can ignore our existence."

Gong Jie said: "Mr. Li, it seems that this order is still pending."

Li Yunhai sighed: "I know, because Shanghai has Donghai Computer. No matter how good our computers are, it will be difficult to defeat them."

In the afternoon, the two people still came to the store.

A woman walked into the store to look at the computers. After shopping around, she thought they were too expensive and asked, "Do you have a computer that costs about 1000 yuan? I bought it for my children to study."

The shopping guide smiled and shook his head and said: "Auntie, the cheapest computer costs more than 1 yuan. There is no computer in the world that costs 1000 yuan."

The woman said: "It's okay even if it doesn't have so many functions! As long as it can learn Wubi, tabulation, and English. Children don't need so many functions."

The shopping guide just shook his head and said no.

The women left disappointed.

Several shopping guides chuckled and said, "How can such a cheap computer be found?"
Li Yunhai suddenly had an idea. Why not produce a simple computer learning machine?

In his impression, computer learning machines have been very popular for a long time.

The price of this kind of computer learning machine can be less than a thousand yuan!

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately called Professor Ni to discuss the matter.

Professor Ni listened to his idea and asked: "A computer learning machine under a thousand yuan? How to realize this? If nothing else, a monitor costs several hundred dollars. Even if it is second-hand, it costs 600 yuan!" How can the cost of the host be controlled at 400 yuan? This is impossible."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "It doesn't have a monitor, it can be connected to the TV at home! We only make a simple host. The host and keyboard are integrated, just like a computer typewriter. But the functions can be more simplified. The hard disk is not needed, just use The most basic chip and the lowest memory configuration.”

Professor Ni said: "This is a good idea! If you connect it to a TV, you can save money on a monitor."

Li Yunhai put forward his own idea: "Since it is for students, we will solidify arithmetic operations, composing and performing, and typing exercises in the host machine, leaving only one external power interface and one set of recorder interfaces to store programs , 1 video interface, 1 game controller interfaces, 1 game card slot, using the popular computer 2 keyboard layout, RAM 1K is enough, the learning cards are integrated into the motherboard. More abundant learning cards can be connected externally, we can also Develop and sell various learning cards!”

Professor Ni said: "This can be realized. Using Basic to write a program, it can realize the Chinese typing function, and it can also be equipped with a mouse, printer, and floppy drive interface, so the functions will be very rich."

Li Yunhai said: "Most parents do not have enough understanding and recognition of computers, and think that computers are just typing tools. There is also a public opinion circulating in the society: computers are updated too fast, the configuration is too low, and they will be eliminated in two or three years. Many parents are on the fence about buying computers and do not have a strong desire to buy them. Because computers are expensive, many schools do not have computer rooms. Even if they have computer rooms, there are only one or two at most. The number of constructions is insufficient, and there are only a few operation classes in one semester. One computer can be used by several people. The market is in urgent need of a low-priced machine that can experience computer operation. The market demand is our business!"

Professor Ni smiled and said: "You are a professional in business, and I think it is feasible."

Li Yunhai said: "Also, the game function must be integrated. Isn't the Nintendo game console popular now? We'd better make it compatible with their game cards, which would be even more perfect. This is both a learning machine and a A game console.”

Professor Ni said: “Only in this way can we attract children to cry and buy!”

The two laughed into the microphone.

Li Yunhai asked: "If we want to realize these functions, how much can the cost be controlled?"

Professor Ni said: "That's very cheap! It's just a simple integrated motherboard, plus a plastic shell, and a keyboard. The ex-factory price can be controlled within 500 yuan."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay! Our next step is to make this product, as well as the translator, and we must build it as soon as possible."

Professor Ni smiled and said: "Mr. Li, you have too many ideas. We don't have enough manpower. We have to do several research projects now. 386 computers must be studied. We have also been working on the localization of copiers. The translator is easy and will be available soon. Now we have to build a learning machine, which requires a scientific research team."

Li Yunhai said: "If there are few people, then recruit people. I will tell Lin Zhi about this and let her be responsible for recruiting people." Professor Ni said: "Okay, it will be easier if there are people."

Li Yunhai called Lin Zhi again and asked her to recruit 50 more scientific research talents with high-end academic degrees.

Lin Zhi said this is difficult. Where can there be so many masters and Ph.D.s in China?
Li Yunhai said that we would recruit undergraduate students, majoring in electronics and computer science.

Lin Zhi said let me give it a try.

Li Yunhai also knows that it is difficult to recruit high-end talents.

High-end talents are either in state-owned enterprises, government agencies, or they start their own businesses.

Li Yunhai asked Lin Zhi to place recruitment advertisements in large media. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Longteng PC to go abroad, it might attract some people with lofty ideals to join the company.

Lin Zhi smiled and said I understand.

That night, Li Yunhai and Gong Jie stayed in the store to conduct internal training for shopping guides.

Li Yunhai requires shopping guides to be familiar with all the equipment in the store and be able to describe the configuration, functions and advantages of each equipment.

After three hours of intensive training, the quality of the shopping guides has improved significantly.

Li Yunhai said that everyone had worked hard and gave everyone an overtime subsidy of 10 yuan.

The employees received their money and left happily.

The next day, Li Yunhai found Jiang Zhijun at the typewriter factory.

When Jiang Zhijun saw his face, he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li, I want to resign, but the superiors don't approve it."

Li Yunhai asked: "Why not approve it?"

Jiang Zhijun said: "You say I am a talent and won't let me go."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle, just ask your wife to come over and make a fuss."

Jiang Zhijun was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said: "This move did some damage, but I guess no one can withstand her noise!"

Li Yunhai said: "The other way is to resign directly. If you don't come to work, they will naturally fire you. But it is best to resign amicably. We will also cooperate with the typewriter factory in the future."

Jiang Zhijun said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will try to resign as soon as possible."

Li Yunhai asked: "How is your father-in-law?"

Jiang Zhijun said: "Thank you for the money. I have been admitted to the hospital. I need to have an operation. I may have to stay in the hospital for half a month."

Li Yunhai said: "Then you will report to Xizhou after the arrangements are made."

Jiang Zhijun was grateful.

Li Yunhai came to Shanghai just to poach Jiang Zhijun. Now that his goal was achieved, he was ready to leave.

Jiang Zhijun stopped him and asked, "Mr. Li, is the company still hiring?"

Li Yunhai thought he wanted to take people away with him, so he said: "Of course we are recruiting people! If there is anyone in your factory who is willing to go with you, just bring him over. As long as they have a technical secondary school degree or above, they are all talents."

Jiang Zhijun said: "It's like this. The scientific research institute where my brother works is very ineffective. I told him that I wanted to go to Sihai Group to develop. When he heard that the salary was so high, he was also interested."

Li Yunhai asked: "Where did your brother study? What major did he study? What is his academic qualifications?"

Jiang Zhijun said: "He works at the Municipal Computer Research Institute. He usually takes on scientific research projects from Donghai Company and gets a dead salary. He majors in computer science and has a bachelor's degree."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, let him come. Our Sihai Scientific Research Institute is about to recruit people. Also, if anyone from his unit is willing to come, I will take it! The benefits of our Scientific Research Institute are not generally good." A scientific research project, as long as the research is successful, the bonus will be tens of thousands!"

Jiang Zhijun said: "Okay, I'll talk to him after get off work. If it works out, I'll contact you again."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this is really an unexpected surprise!

He is about to recruit talents in this field!
Li Yunhai left the typewriter factory and came to the branch.

Gong Jie saw him and smiled: "Director Wang Pei called me and asked if you have decided on the investment?"

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "I have to look at the script first and the confirmed cast list."

Gong Jie said: "That's what I replied to Director Wang. He said to make an appointment to meet?"

Li Yunhai said let’s make an appointment tonight. I will leave Shanghai tomorrow.

Gong Jie's face flashed with melancholy: "Are you leaving?"

Li Yunhai said that Xiangjiang Sihai Group is about to go public and I want to go to Xiangjiang.

Gong Jie knew this was a big deal and asked, "Can I buy the company's shares?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Of course you can, but it is listed on the Hong Kong stock market. You have to go to Hong Kong to buy stocks."

Gong Jie has been busy recently and couldn't live without it, so she said, "Then buy some for me."

Li Yunhai asked: "Okay, how many shares do you want to buy?"

Gong Jie asked about the issue price and said: "15 Hong Kong dollars per share? Then I will raise some more money and buy 3000 shares! When you come back, I will give you the money. I will not be polite to you. To be honest, I am very optimistic about the company. stock. I hope it goes up to 100 yuan per share, then I will have 30! Hehe! I don’t need a loan to buy a house!”

Li Yunhai laughed and said that I also hope it can rise to 100 yuan!

Sihai Group plans to issue 2 million shares. If each share rises to 100 yuan, it will have a market value of 200 billion!
Li Yunhai can laugh even if he thinks about it!

Gong Jie called Wang Pei and made an appointment to meet in the evening.

At noon, Gong Jie invited Li Yunhai to dinner: "Don't go out to eat. I bought the vegetables. Why don't you come to my place to eat at noon? I'll cook some of my specialty dishes."

"Okay." Li Yunhai was not pretentious.

Li Yunhai learned Gong Jie's cooking skills when he was in Huacheng, and he was quite good.

The two came to her rental house.

Gong Jie turned on the TV and asked Li Yunhai to sit for a while while she went into the kitchen to get busy.

Li Yunhai picked up a magazine and read it.

This is a movie magazine, and the person on the cover happens to be Zhu Lin.

This is the third time and the last time that the "King of the Daughter Kingdom" has appeared on the cover of a magazine. In this year, she won the fifth "Golden Eagle Award" for Best Actress for starring in "Triumph at Midnight" and "TV Monthly" "Yongfang Cup" first TV Top Ten Actor Award and "Time Movie" Best TV Series Female Star Award, it can be said that she has unlimited glory.

After this year, Zhu Lin left the screen for several years, and did not return until 1992, participating in many TV series.

In the photo, her skin is as delicate and smooth as gelatin, exuding a dignified and elegant temperament.

Li Yunhai looked at the photo, and his mind flashed back to her looking back and smiling in Journey to the West, thinking that she was really a beauty, and the older she got, the more beautiful she became.

He opened the magazine and saw an article about Zhu Lin, which also mentioned that she was about to make a movie with Shanghai Film Studio.

Gong Jie came out to make tea for him and said with a smile, "I ask you a question, and you have to answer me honestly."

Li Yunhai said: "What?"

Gong Jie smiled and asked: "Who is more beautiful, me or her?"

Li Yunhai knew that she was talking about Zhu Lin, so he said: "You are more beautiful. You were the most beautiful woman on the mainland screen in the 80s, no one can compare with you. You are also more famous than her."

This answer satisfied Gong Jie and she said with a smile: "She will also come tonight. Then I will stand with her. If you compare them, you will know who is more beautiful."

Li Yunhai asked: "Is Zhu Lin in Shanghai?"

"Yes, I heard what Director Wang said."

"Then I have to prepare pen and paper and ask her to sign."

"Why do you never ask me for my autograph? My autograph is not valuable?"

"I'm your boss, and I have a lot of your signatures! Don't all the reports you give me have your signatures?"

Gong Jie chuckled: "That doesn't count!"

Li Yunhai said: "Then can you give me a signed photo?"

Gong Jie said: "I ask you, you want it, you are not sincere and don't want to give it."

After saying that, she twisted her waist and entered the kitchen.

Li Yunhai smiled, thinking that Sister Gong also had a childlike side.

Gong Jie carefully prepared several delicious dishes and a bottle of foreign wine.

Li Yunhai said: "You won't drink at noon, right?"

Gong Jie said: "One bottle, let the two of us drink it, and we'll finish it in a few sips."

Li Yunhai said: "I'm afraid this wine is not serious."

Gong Jie picked up the wine bottle, read the label, and said, "I bought the imported foreign wine specially. What's wrong with it?"

Li Yunhai said: "If you are not drunk with wine, you will get drunk. If you are not charming with sex, you will be obsessed with it! I am afraid that when you are drunk, you will mess up your nature and do something inappropriate to you."

Only then did Gong Jie realize that he was joking, and smiled sweetly: "To be honest, you gave me the impression that you are serious and even old-fashioned that is inconsistent with your age! I don't believe that you can act recklessly after drinking! "

She poured two glasses of wine and said, "I want to toast you. Thank you for taking care of me and allowing me to find the best job in my life!"

Li Yunhai said: "Don't say that. If director Wang Pei hears it, he will definitely scold me for tricking you into the business world and losing the most beautiful beauty on the screen."

Gong Jie smiled charmingly: "You haven't drank yet? Why are you drunk?"

The two looked at each other, laughed, and then raised their glasses together.
