Life 1984

The green leather train wheezed and wheezed like a tired old cow, clanking on the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway.

The two trains were running side by side and collided with the rails, making a loud noise.

The train rushed over with a huge rumbling sound, and a cloud of white mist sprayed by the locomotive covered the small bushes, followed by the deafening sound of machine grinding.

Breathing heavily, the train broke through the darkness, carrying the travelers' longing and love, and drove into the vast distance of the night.

As the sky dawned, Li Yunhai stood up and looked at Shen Xiulan sleeping on the upper bunk.

Last night, they were like two trains running side by side, but they collided because of Shen Xiulan's derailment.

At this moment, Shen Xiulan was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes covering her white face, and every pore exuded a youthful luster.

First love is unforgettable and beautiful.It's not because she is so beautiful, nor because what she can't get is good, but because when people first fall in love, their hearts are extremely pure, and they have no selfish thoughts and only know how to love each other with everything they have.And the love in the future will not be so pure and flawless.Innocence is the most precious on earth.It is this innocence that people crave, and Li Yunhai is no exception.

Li Yunhai walked out of the box gently and came to Tang Yuxia's side. Lin Zhi also woke up.

After Tang Yuxia took medicine and slept for a while, her fever subsided and her face looked much better.

Li Yunhai bought breakfast and came over to eat it, and brought some back to Shen Xiulan.

Lin Zhi took care of her mother last night and didn't get a good rest, so she caught up on her sleep in the morning.

In the afternoon, the Xijiang Provincial delegation arrived in Huacheng by train.

Both Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi invited Tang Yuxia to live in Zhiyuan.

But Tang Yuxia said that work is important, so you don't have to worry about me, I'm much better.

Guo Wanhua also rushed to Huacheng from Xiangjiang, and she sent a car to greet Li Yunhai and the others.

Lin Zhi and Guo Wanhua hugged each other as soon as they met after not seeing each other for a long time.

"Sister Guo, where is the baby? Have you brought it over? I really want to give him a hug!"

"An'an is too young, only a few months old. I left him in Xiangjiang. Next time you go to Xiangjiang to see him, okay?"

"Okay!"

Lin Zhi really likes children now.When a woman reaches a certain age, she will really develop the brilliance of motherhood!
Guo Wanhua has already sent people to clean up Zhiyuan. Li Yunhai and the others can move in immediately when they arrive.

After a short rest, Li Yunhai and others came to the Canton Fair.

The vanguard of the Aixiu Group has arrived in Huacheng long ago, and the exhibition layout work has also reached the final stage.

Li Yunhai checked the layout of the exhibition. He held his cheek, looked at his booth, and said to Zhao Jinping: "Mr. Zhao, overall it's very good. Then put three tables in front, put our fourth-generation typewriter, Translator and Longteng PC, these three products are placed in the most conspicuous position. Whether we can make money depends on these three flagship products."

After CCA launched global licensing, there was no sales at the Canton Fair. Li Yunhai earned licensing fees and material fees provided to licensees.

The more toner the authorized dealer sells, the more money Li Yunhai makes.

Relying on CCA's authorization, he can now earn about [-] million US dollars per year.

Sihai Group's current focus is to build the entire text and printing industry chain and surrounding industries.

Typing, copying, drawing, and posting pictures are just the terminal ecology of the printing industry.

A complete industrial chain of printing equipment and remanufacturing, consumables manufacturing and operation, computers, copiers, printers, and engineering machines are all part of this industrial chain.

Going a step further, packaging, papermaking, forestry, ports, and transportation also belong to the industrial chain.

What Li Yunhai has to do is huge!
Supporting tens of thousands of printing and printing shops across the country is just a small step in a huge industrial cluster, in order to better promote its products.

Now this plan is gradually being realized.

Before 1990, Li Yunhai will support [-] to [-] small printing and printing shops across the country to form a huge terminal industry.

Li Yunhai takes a longer-term view.

With the launch of micro-piezoelectric printers and Longteng PCs, Sihai Group already has a pivotal position in the global industrial chain.

The development of Sihai copier is also in full swing and will be available in the second half of the year at the latest.

By then Sihai Group will have a full line of products.

Zhao Jinping arranged for people to place three desks in the most conspicuous front of the booth, and placed three flagship products, Longteng PC, fourth-generation typewriter, and translator, on the table.

Li Yunhai posted photos of the company's participation in the Hannover Exhibition and reports from foreign media. These are also advertisements to help foreign businessmen better understand the international status of Sihai Group's products.

When everything was ready, Li Yunhai contacted the organizing committee and changed the advertisements on the rooftop of the Canton Fair venue to more colorful prints, and the content also changed to Longteng PCs, fourth-generation typewriters, translators and other products.

In the evening, Li Yunhai, Lin Zhi, and Shen Xiulan came to the Oriental Hotel to visit Tang Yuxia.

Tang Yuxia had just finished a work meeting and broke out in a cold sweat because she had not recovered from her cold.

Lin Zhi helped her mother go back to her room to rest. Li Yunhai came back after buying food, and they all ate together in the room.

Tang Yuxia told Li Yunhai good news that the number of merchants participating in the Canton Fair this year will increase unprecedentedly.

At the 1987 Canton Fair, thanks to E-MAIL, the history of staff staying up late typing and sending out invitations ended.Previously, each trade fair had to send tens of thousands of invitation letters to merchants from all over the world, and each invitation letter had to be typed on a typewriter day and night. After 1987, the use of computers greatly improved work efficiency, and the number of merchants at the Canton Fair also grew from more than 1 at the beginning to more than 10,000 later.

In other words, since 1987, the number of foreign exhibitors at the Canton Fair has increased sharply.

This is also due to the great results achieved by my country's reform and opening up, attracting more foreign businessmen who want to know more about our country.

The total transaction volume at the Canton Fair will also exceed the US$100 billion mark.

Tang Yuxia hopes that the Xijiang provincial and municipal delegations can achieve better results this year.

"Yunhai, you have to work hard!" Tang Yuxia said, "I have given you the best booths. Sihai Group is also the largest export trading company in our province. This Canton Fair must exceed US$2 million!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Okay, let's try to get [-] million US dollars!"

According to past practice, Sihai Group can get more than 1 million US dollars at the Canton Fair, which is already very good.At the Hannover Electronics Fair, Li Yunhai only won tens of millions of dollars.

But we still have to have goals, what if we achieve them?

The first day of the Canton Fair.

Li Yunhai and others came to the exhibition early.

Guo Wanhua is still in charge of Paiqi's booth.

Li Yunhai and others came to Sihai Group’s booth.

There were particularly many foreign businessmen coming to the exhibition on the first day.

Tang Yuxia assigned Liu Jie and Han Huizhen to Sihai Group as promoters.

Liu Jie and Han Huizhen have participated in several Canton Fairs. Their oral English communication skills are pretty good and they can become qualified shopping guides.

As soon as it started, Sihai Group's booth was crowded with foreign businessmen.

There are many foreign businessmen who used to be buyers of Sihai Group. Every time they come to the Canton Fair, they come to take a look.

Sihai Group never disappoints them every time and always launches new products, which also makes them feel the strength and R&D capabilities of this company.

Li Yunhai was talking to foreign businessmen and smelled a strong smell of perfume.

He turned his head and saw a familiar face.

It was Mary, the Canadian foreign businessman who once wanted to develop a super-friendly relationship with Li Yunhai.

"Hello!" Mary's figure has gained weight, her bulging muscles are more attractive, her face is round, white and tender, but she has a weakness unique to Westerners, the pores are too rough.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Hey! Hello, Miss Mary! Welcome, welcome!"

He wanted to shake hands with Mary, but Mary hugged him directly and gave him a kiss.

Mary bought [-] inkjet printers last year, and later ordered an additional [-] units. She is considered a big customer and a repeat customer.

Li Yunhai arranged for Liu Jie to come over to receive Mary.

Liu Jie was attracted by Mary's tall figure and diligently introduced new products to her.

Li Yunhai turned around and continued to receive the foreign businessmen just now.

This business deal was not successful.

After sending away the foreign businessmen, Li Yunhai came to Mary and said with a smile: "Miss Mary, we have many new products and they are very cost-effective. You must take some goods back to sell."

Mary was typing on a typewriter and experiencing the translation function of the typewriter. She said: "I like this typewriter very much. We are engaged in international trade and need to deal with people from different countries, but the language barrier is a big drawback. I believe There are many people with the same difficulties. This product of yours can solve our problems very well."

Li Yunhai explained to her the functions and applications of the typewriter in detail, focusing on the translation function.

Mary experienced it herself and thought it was very good, and said: "You must give me the best price."

Li Yunhai said: "This is our fourth-generation product, with many upgraded functions, but the price remains unchanged at US$3500 per unit. Of course, this is the wholesale price."

Mary said: "It's a bit expensive. A cheap computer only costs more than 3000 US dollars."

Li Yunhai said: "A computer cannot type, you also need a typewriter. The cheapest typewriter costs several hundred dollars. Our typewriter can not only be used as a computer, but can also type directly. "

Mary winked at Li Yunhai and said, "For 3000 US dollars each, I will purchase 1 units!"

This is really a big order!

In the past, foreign businessmen, even if they were interested, would not take so many goods. Some would only take one or two hundred units, and some would only take one or two thousand units.

Of course, Li Yunhai could sell it for US$3000 and make a lot of money.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Miss Mary, you are really good at bargaining!"

Mary is also a smart person. She analyzed: "The cost of this typewriter should not exceed one thousand dollars, right?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Miss Mary, you can't just look at the cost of the typewriter itself. We also have to pay taxes and invest a lot of money in research and development. These are all costs."

Mary said: "Then you can definitely sell it for $3000, right?"

Li Yunhai said generously: "Okay, I sold it to you. Who makes you our regular customer? This is the best price that can only be enjoyed by [-] units."

Mary showed a charming smile: "Okay!"

This is the highlight of this Canton Fair!

Of course Li Yunhai wanted to facilitate this deal.

Mary asked her people to pay a deposit of $5.

She knew that Li Yunhai's business rules were to put down a deposit first and then pay for the goods first.After the two parties signed the contract, Mary hugged Li Yunhai again and said in his ear: "Come to my room tonight. I have something to discuss with you. If you don't come, I will never order from you again."

Li Yunhai's scalp was numb, but he smiled and said: "Thank you, Miss Mary, for taking care of me."

Why is this foreign woman so proactive?

And still so horny?
Why don't you just come out to participate in an exhibition?

You won't stay here for more than ten or twenty days, only a few days at most. Is this difficult for you?
Mary waved charmingly towards Li Yunhai and left with her men.

Lin Zhi walked over and asked, "What did that foreign woman tell you?"

Li Yunhai said: "She asked me to meet at night to discuss business."

"Why do you have to discuss business at night?"

"Don't you know? Many exhibitors at the Canton Fair will visit foreign businessmen at night. This is called building friendships. Make friends first and then discuss business."

Of course Lin Zhi also knew this and whispered: "But I always feel that that foreign woman looks like she wants to eat you."

Li Yunhai said: "Are you thinking too much? Will a woman like her be short of men around her?"

Lin Zhi thought about it. Maybe foreign women have such behavioral habits, right?Not resistant to physical contact with men.

Mary brought a US$3000 million order to Sihai Group, boosting morale.

Lin Zhi and others also worked harder to promote it.

Liu Jie said with a smile: "Mr. Li, this Miss Mary is my receptionist. Do you want to give me a commission?"

Li Yunhai thought and said with a smile: "Okay! But this order is not a sure thing yet. Mary may regret and give up at any time. Tonight, you visit her at home, have a good talk with her, and show concern for the foreign businessmen! As long as she If you don’t give up on this order, I’ll give you a bonus of 1 yuan!”

Liu Jie didn't know this was a trap, so he laughed and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Li Yunhai laughed loudly, told Liu Jie the hotel room where Mary was staying, and said: "Liu Jie, you must dress handsomely. This is diplomatic work! You can't be careless!"

When Liu Jie heard that it was diplomatic work, he immediately straightened his waist and said, "I am also a handsome guy from Yushu Linfeng, right? Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with this foreign girl!"

Li Yunhai knew that he was a romantic young man who had a way of dealing with women, so he smiled and patted his arm: "Please!"

Liu Jie said boldly that it was all on me!

Li Yunhai showed a meaningful smile.

Many foreign businessmen saw Mary's large order just now. They saw that Mary dared to place such a large order, which is enough to show that this Sihai Group is very reliable and has no worries about selling its products.

This caused a chain reaction, and several foreign businessmen placed orders one after another.

A foreign businessman named Allen purchased 200 high-end Longteng PCs, and the order amount was almost US$80.

There are also foreign businessmen who are interested in Sihai Translator.

Sihai Translator is very compact and portable. It is a little larger than a traditional calculator and can be folded and opened. It is equivalent to the size of a 32-karat paper and pen diary. It is equipped with a 6-inch touch screen. The domestic price is 999 yuan. At the Canton Fair The wholesale price on is $200.

This translator has more comprehensive functions and a larger screen than the PD-1 produced by Sanyo at the same time.

The price of Sanyo's PD-1 is 4 yen, which is quite cheap.

But Sihai Translator is more cost-effective.

A foreign businessman named Jeff, after trying it out, gave it a thumbs up and praised it repeatedly, and ordered 5 translators with an order amount of US$100 million.

At the end of the day, I have gained a lot.

In the evening, Li Yunhai invited everyone to dinner.

During the dinner, Li Yunhai specially poured Liu Jie a few glasses of wine, saying that we could not win Mary's big order without Liu Jie's contribution, so we must toast him two more glasses.

Liu Jie was in high spirits and was popular with everyone. He was naturally happy and drank several glasses of wine.

After dinner, Li Yunhai specially reminded Liu Jie that he must visit Mary.

When they were resting in the evening, Lin Zhi asked, "Aren't you going to discuss business with that Mary?"

Li Yunhai touched her pretty face and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will be eaten by her? I sent Liu Jie."

Lin Zhi said: "Liu Jie? That's it. If he can't control it, he will probably be eaten by Mary."

Li Yunhai said: "Perhaps Liu Jie can't ask for it too?"

Lin Zhi laughed so hard that her branches trembled: "Okay, you arranged it like this on purpose, right?"

Li Yunhai imagined the scene of Liu Jie riding a foreign horse, and couldn't help laughing. He hugged Lin Zhi and chewed her.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Li Yunhai and others came to the venue.

Li Yunhai only saw Han Huizhen and asked, "Where is Liu Jie? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Han Huizhen said with a cold face: "Who knows about him! I haven't seen anyone all night! I don't know which vixen has taken away his soul!"

Li Yunhai quickly explained: "I sent him out to communicate with foreign businessmen, and he will probably not be able to go back to rest until very late! So he won't disturb you!"

Han Huizhen calmed down and said, "For work? That's okay."

It was not until lunch time that Liu Jie came to the exhibition hall.

I saw that he was listless and his eyes had dark circles like pandas.

"Mr. Li, I've suffered a big loss! You gave me a bonus of 1 yuan, and I guess it's not even enough to buy supplements!" Liu Jie took Li Yunhai's hand and said with a crying face, "You have to add more money!"

Li Yunhai suppressed his laughter and said, "Liu Jie, I just asked you to communicate with foreign businessmen. What did you do?"

Liu Jie whispered: "That Mary is so powerful! Even more powerful than a millstone pulled by a donkey!"

Li Yunhai teased: "Isn't this just what you want? You got a huge advantage and brought glory to the country!"

Liu Jie shook his head in pain: "I can't stand it. Next time something good like this happens, you'd better send someone else to fight! I have to rest for at least ten days and a half to regain my strength."

Business was good that day, but they were all small orders, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. We got five orders, with a total turnover of more than 400 million US dollars.

Tang Yuxia has recovered from her cold and visits the booths of her provincial and municipal delegations every day to help companies solve practical problems.

When he was about to get off work that day, Li Yunhai came to Paiqi's booth.

Guo Wanhua is looking down to take stock of today's expenses.

Li Yunhai took a look and said with a smile: "Sister Guo, it's not bad! It sold for more than 200 million US dollars!"

Guo Wanhua put down the pen in her hand and said: "Yunhai, what we sell are all large machines, which are expensive. Any order we place is worth millions of dollars. In fact, we don't sell many machines. What else do we want to do? How to improve?"

Li Yunhai pondered: "Speaking of which, engineering machines should indeed be improved. Let's discuss it and develop new functions for engineering machines."

Guo Wanhua said: "R&D requires a lot of capital investment. I'm wondering if it's cost-effective?"

Li Yunhai said: "We must continue to make engineering machines, and we must continue to develop new products. Paiqi's products do not have a high share in the engineering machinery category, but we can add new functions to expand market share. Rate!"

Guo Wanhua looked around and whispered: "Then come to my house tonight and we will study it carefully."

Li Yunhai understood what she meant and said, "Okay, if you have nothing to do tonight, just wait for me."

Guo Wanhua nodded.

The two talked about stock prices again.

After the Stock Exchange had a new leader, it quickly stabilized the situation. The Hang Seng Index continued to rise, and the share price of Xiangjiang Sihai Group rose to HK$36.4 per share.

After get off work, Li Yunhai, Lin Zhi, and Shen Xiulan returned to Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan went into the kitchen to cook together.

"Yunhai, Sister Gong is working in Shanghai, I don't know what's going on? I really miss her Shanghai cuisine!" Lin Zhi said.

Li Yunhai said: "I had a phone call with her yesterday. The sales of the Shanghai branch are now rising steadily, and translators and fourth-generation typewriters are selling very well."

He helped Gong Jie and Zhu Lin buy stocks, and also told them about the changes in stock prices.

These two women were indeed not good at stock trading. When they heard that it had risen so much, they told Li Yunhai to sell it.

Gong Jie bought 3000 shares and Zhu Lin bought 5000 shares.

Li Yunhai actually bought these stocks himself. The stock price has now doubled, and both Gong and Zhu have made tens of thousands of dollars.

The money Li Yunhai gave them was equivalent to welfare for them.

After Gong Jie got money, she bought a new house in Shanghai.

Houses in Shanghai were not expensive in this era. Gong Jie made tens of thousands of dollars in the stock market, and with her previous savings, she could buy a house without asking for a loan from the company.

As for Zhu Lin, he officially participated in the film shooting at Shanghai Film Studio and was very busy every day.

In the evening, after having dinner, Li Yunhai watched TV with Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan for a while, and then said that he wanted to go to Guo Wanhua's house to discuss something.

Lin Zhi said with a smile: "After Sister Guo gave birth to the child, she became estranged from us and did not come to play with us anymore! Ask her, what is the reason for this? Is it because we did not entertain her well?"

Li Yunhai knew the reason, but couldn't say it, so he sighed.

He didn't drive, so he walked to Guo Wanhua's house and knocked on the door.

The servant came to open the door and asked Li Yunhai to come in.

Li Yunhai came to the living room and found that there was a guest. This guest was none other than Shi Wentao.

Shi Wentao greeted Li Yunhai and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Mr. Guo, let's talk. I'll take my leave."

Li Yunhai felt a little baffled. After Shi Wentao left, he asked: "Sister Guo, what does Mr. Shi want from you?"

Guo Wanhua said: "He asked me to borrow money."

Li Yunhai said in a daze: "The Shi family is not short of money!"

Guo Wanhua said with a smile: "Who is not short of money? Aren't you also short of money? You even went to Xiangjiang to go public and raise funds!"

Li Yunhai thought about it and asked, "Why did he ask you to borrow money?"

He was a little confused. He had a very good relationship with the Shi family. If the Shi family was short of money, why didn't they come to him? (End of chapter)
