Life 1984

Li Yunhai's righteous words did not scare the black man with dreadlocks in front of him.

Professor Ni and others gathered around and stopped Dirty Pigtails from leaving.

Li Yunhai didn't want to talk to this black man, so he gave Zhuang Yong a few words.

Zhuang Yong said he understood, stepped forward and grabbed the black man's wrist, then dug under his clothes and took out a Sihai translator.

The crowd of onlookers let out a roar of applause, accusing the black people of wrongdoing.

The man with the dirty braids was caught red-handed and instead of being ashamed, he was cursed.Zero Yuan Gou was still so confident and looked like he wanted to hit someone, so he almost had the word "robber" carved on his forehead.

Li Yunhai called the staff of the organizing committee over and explained the situation.

The people from the organizing committee immediately kicked the dirty braid out of the venue.

After this incident, this Chinese booth, full of Chinese and English bilingual words, became an alternative at CES.

Many foreigners came over to see it. Some people expressed admiration, while others expressed doubts.

More foreigners can't even believe that the Chinese can produce so many high-end electronic products.

Li Yunhai and others also encountered the same doubts and incomprehension at the Hannover Electronics Show, but that electronics show was smaller than this one, and there were not so many weirdos coming to express their stupid thoughts.

Shen Xiulan and others were all aggrieved, asking what happened to these foreigners?Can't you see us Chinese?Shouldn’t we Chinese produce some good things?We have built two bombs and one satellite, let alone such electronic products?
Professor Ni smiled and said: "Don't care what they say. We just have to do our own thing."

Li Yunhai said: "This is the significance of our going abroad to participate in exhibitions. We want people around the world to know that the electronic products made by us Chinese are better than their products. If we only participate in the Canton Fair, even if we export products No matter how much we do, we won’t be able to make a name for ourselves in the world.”

Because exported products are generally repackaged according to the requirements of buyers, even if they sell well locally, locals may not care where these products are manufactured.

It is of great significance to go abroad to participate in exhibitions. Sihai Group has made the world aware of the high quality of Chinese manufacturing.

For a long time, in the eyes of foreigners, my country's manufacturing has only been low-cost daily chemical products and agricultural and sideline products.

Products in the high-tech field like this are the patents of Westerners.

In fact, our country has been absent from exhibitions of modern electronic products.

Whether it is the Hannover Electronics Show or the CES Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Sihai Group is the first Chinese exhibitor.

Li Yunhai specially used Chinese and English labels on his promotional slogans to let the world know that this is a Chinese booth!

Two Americans stood in front of the Sihai Longteng PC, chatting non-stop.

From their chat, we learned that they were managers of a local PC manufacturing company in the United States. When they were setting up the exhibition, they were attracted by the commotion and found it novel when they saw the PCs in the Chinese booth.

A short white man said: "Mike, do you believe the Chinese can produce PCs?"

Another tall white man said: "Oh, James, they can definitely produce it, but the spare parts must be imported from us. And their computers may only be equivalent to our level ten years ago! I bet, Their PCs are still using the 8008 chip that we have phased out long ago!”

"Haha, I think so too. I wonder who gave them the courage to come to such a high-end electronics show?"

"I bet they can't even sell a PC! Hahaha!"

Mike laughed at Sihai Group's PCs wantonly, not caring that the owners of these PCs were right next to him.

Li Yunhai came over and said in fluent English: "Then let's make a bet! Every time we sell a PC, you can treat me to a hamburger! This is a gambling city, and you keep saying bet, then, a hamburger, I believe you can afford the gamble, right?"

Mike spread his hands with an indifferent expression: "OK, no problem! What if you can't even sell a PC? What do you have to lose to me?"

Li Yunhai said: "If we can't sell even one PC, I'll lose you $[-]! Bet $[-] on a hamburger. Isn't this a big bet? I wonder if you dare to bet?"

Mike was excited and said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you!"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly, walked to the computer typewriter, turned on the machine, quickly printed out a contract, picked up a pen and signed his name on it gracefully, and then handed the pen to Mike.

Mike read it first and found that there were no errors or omissions in the contract document. It was indeed the treaty they had just agreed on, so he wrote his name on it.

Li Yunhai said: "I hope you are an American citizen who abides by your contract and will not embarrass you Americans! I also hope you have enough US dollars to afford hamburgers!"

Mike was offended. He took out his wallet on the spot, pointed at the thick stack of dollars inside and said, "Look! This is all money! Enough to buy thousands of hamburgers!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Very good! Mr. Mike, a bet is just like a contract, it is also a contract! Both of us should abide by it."

He looked at James: "Sir, do you want to participate? Let me print out another bet and sign it between us, right? Eating hamburgers is not enough, I also want to drink Coke."

James laughed and said: "Okay! I also want to make this bet! However, I want to change the way. I want to bet on Mike to win! What odds do you dare to give?"

Li Yunhai's eyes lit up and he said: "One pays ten! How much do you want to bet?"

James said: "I bet one hundred thousand dollars! If I win, I will be a millionaire! I hope you can get such a large compensation!"

Li Yunhai said: "10 US dollars? Very good! I hope it won't bankrupt you!"

Li Yunhai printed out another bet agreement and signed it with James.

Seeing that there were still many people watching, he said loudly: "We came to the casino and are willing to make a bet with everyone! You can bet as much as you like! You can bet on me to win, or bet on Mike and James to win! If I’m willing to pay you ten dollars if you bet them to win! If you bet $1, I’m willing to pay ten dollars!”

Both Mike and James said this Chinese was crazy!

The spectators smiled and did not place this bet.

Mike thought of something and said: "You can't arrange for your own people to buy your own PC, that doesn't count!"

Li Yunhai said: "Please rest assured, we will receive the order. The purchasers of the order have been certified by the organizing committee. Having an order will be convincing!"

Both Mike and James said they were sure to win.

They don’t believe that a poor country from the third world can build any good computers. At such a high-end electronics exhibition, Chinese computers will definitely not be sold!

Because even participating PC companies from Western countries may not be able to place orders at this exhibition, so they are full of confidence.

Mike said: "I admire your courage and dare to come to CES to exhibit, but you will definitely not be able to place an order."

Li Yunhai patted the two bets in his hand and said, "As long as you have this! If you don't issue a bill, we will do it this way."

Mike and James turned and left.

Li Yunhai and the others spent a whole day setting up the booth.

After dinner in the evening, Li Yunhai came to see Shen Xiulan and asked about going shopping outside?

Shen Xiulan said: "Didn't you say that it's very chaotic here? It's such a sinful city, and there's the world's largest gang, and there's all kinds of porn, gambling, and everything. How dare we go out and walk around?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "These are things that cannot be put on the table, and Las Vegas has improved a lot in the past few years. There was an electronics show recently, and there were many police patrols on the streets. We don't cause trouble. That’s it.”

Shen Xiulan actually wanted to go out for a walk, so she agreed.

The two walked out of the hotel and onto the street.

It was the first time for Li Yunhai to come here and he didn't know where to find fun. When he came, he bought a city traffic map, took it out and looked at it, and then walked along the Las Vegas Strip.

This is the longest street in the gambling city, 6.5 kilometers long, running through the entire city. Both sides of the street are large theme hotels, and these hotels usually have casinos.

When the two passed by a hotel, they saw a free fire-breathing show and went to watch it.

This is a casino hotel. In order to attract tourists, these hotels will find ways to launch various free or paid performances to attract tourists, such as fire-breathing shows and fountain shows.

A few men in strange costumes held a torch and kept spraying wine from their mouths on the torch. The fire in the torch burned more and more fiercely, and the flames shot up several meters high, which was very scary.

Such performances attract a large number of tourists.

Recently, during the CES electronics show, more than 10,000 exhibitors, buyers, and tourists came. Free performances like this are the most attractive.

Shen Xiulan smiled and said: "We also have this kind of performance in our country! There is also a performance of swallowing fire and sword!"

Li Yunhai said: "Shall we go to the casino and have a look?"

"Betting? Don't want to?"

"Look, you will learn a lot. A small gamble will make you happy, but a big gamble will hurt your health. A big gamble will be wiped out. Just have fun and don't think about getting rich. It's okay to visit and exchange a few chips as souvenirs. Don't you think so?"

"All right!"

Li Yunhai held her hand naturally.

Shen Xiulan pulled it gently but did not pull it out.

Li Yunhai said: "There are too many people, be careful of getting separated!"

Shen Xiulan saw that the area was full of foreign tourists, so she let them do whatever they wanted.

The two came to the first floor of the hotel.

The casino is decorated magnificently and looks like a large amusement supermarket.

Li Yunhai exchanged chips for a hundred dollars and said, "Let's have some fun! No matter how lucky we are, we will leave after losing the 100 yuan."

The two came to the slot machine. Li Yunhai put the chips into the coin slot and asked Shen Xiulan to pull the lever.

Shen Xiulan said: "I don't know how to play."

Li Yunhai said: "Just pull this lever. Patterns will appear on this screen. The more identical patterns there are, the more we will win."

Shen Xiulan tried to pull down the lever.

The slot machine made a sound, and the graphics on the screen scrolled faster and faster, then slowed down.When the pattern remained motionless, Li Yunhai smiled and said, "You're lucky! We won!"

"Huh? Do you win now?"

The sound of coins falling and tapping hit their eardrums. It was really the sound of money falling to the ground!

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "You are lucky, come again!"

Shen Xiulan thinks this is quite fun. It is just like playing a game console. It is simple and the stakes are not high.

Slot machines only require one coin at a time, the play is small and the winning or losing is not big. Generally speaking, if you are lucky, you can make a small profit.

Shen Xiulan pulled ten poles in a row, losing and winning. At the last calculation, she won 40 coins.

"Why do you keep winning more and more? I can't even spend all the coins!"

"Go and see something else."

The two came to the hall, where there were many tables, and each table was crowded with people.

Li Yunhai took Shen Xiulan's hand and came to a table.

"What are you playing for?" Shen Xiulan had never been exposed to such a thing.

Li Yunhai said: "Bet on big or small! It's very simple. Just bet on what number you think the dealer will give. You can also just bet on big or small."

Shen Xiulan asked: "How can it be considered big? How can it be considered small?"

Li Yunhai said: "The banker has three dice in total, and the maximum number of each dice is six. If the total number of points is less than or equal to 10, it is considered small; if the number is greater than or equal to 11, it is considered large. You can bet on big or small."

Shen Xiulan said: "1 to 10 are considered small, and 11 to 18 are considered large? Then the chance of winning if you bet on the small one must be greater!"

Li Yunhai said: "This is metaphysics."

Shen Xiulan said: "Then I'll keep you young!"

She bet all the 40 coins she just won on the small one.

These coins are all 25 cents, which is 40 coins, which is 10 US dollars.

The croupier waits for everyone to buy and leave, then shakes the dice clock, and then decides the size.

"Little!" Shen Xiulan pointed at the three dice and smiled happily, "Yunhai, we won!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Not bad! Keep going!"

Shen Xiulan only bets with the chips she won.

Unexpectedly, she was very lucky and won another game.

"I only bet on the small one!" Shen Xiulan chuckled, "Because the small one has a greater chance of winning! If we lose, we'll go, okay?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, it's just for fun anyway."

Shen Xiulan once again bet all the winning chips on Xiaogao.

Another small one!

Li Yunhai was amazed, thinking that Xiulan's luck was really good!
Shen Xiulan gambled several times!Hit the mark!

They went to other tables to play.

Shen Xiulan only used the winning money as a bet anyway.

The two of them played for more than an hour without knowing it, and at the final settlement, they actually won more than 500 US dollars!
"Aha! We can still win money!" Shen Xiulan took the exchanged money and said with a smile, "This is equivalent to my monthly salary!"

"Do you want a treat if you win?"

"Okay! What do you want to eat?"

"When we go out for a walk, I don't know what delicious food is available here."

The two walked out of the hotel and onto the street.

They came to a dessert shop, which had a wide range of desserts, including long puffs, sugar puffs, fruit tarts, soufflés and apple pies.

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "Just eat this, shall we? It looks delicious."

Li Yunhai said yes.

Shen Xiulan bought some desserts and spent 30 US dollars. She felt distressed: "Consumption here is so high! Just this kind of food costs 30 US dollars."

Li Yunhai said: "Earn US dollars, spend US dollars, there is nothing wrong with it."

"But, even in China, 30 yuan is considered expensive, okay?"

"Well, prices here are indeed high."

Shen Xiulan fed Li Yunhai a piece of puff.

Li Yunhai took a bite and said, "It's not bad. It's as sweet as your mouth!"

Shen Xiulan rolled her eyes at him: "You are obviously a serious person, but every word you say is not serious!"

Li Yunhai said: "In front of you, I don't need to pretend to be serious!"

The two of you finished the dessert one bite at a time.

Back at the hotel, the corridors were deserted.

Li Yunhai said seriously: "Xiulan, come to my room, I have some work to discuss with you."

Shen Xiulan thought he really wanted to talk about work, so she followed him into the room.

Li Yunhai closed the door, turned around and hugged her.

Shen Xiulan oohed twice: "Hai of clouds!"

Li Yunhai ignored her, hugged her and walked to the bedroom.

Shen Xiulan tapped his chest lightly: "Aren't you talking about work?"

"That's an important part of our work, too."

"I hate you! You know how to lie to me every day!"

Li Yunhai laughed out loud.

The night in Las Vegas is full of enchanting magic that makes people obsessed and unable to extricate themselves.

It’s hard to imagine that this place used to be an uninhabited desert.Today's prosperity and splendor at night leave you no time to think about its past!
Shen Xiulan originally didn't want to stay here overnight.

But when you get excited about playing, how can you still remember the time?
Where can I get out of bed?
She fell asleep in a daze, thinking that she would get up after a short nap.

As a result, I fell asleep until dawn.

Shen Xiulan opened her eyes and looked at Li Yunhai lying next to her. She ouched and quickly sat up.

She pushed Li Yunhai and said, "Yunhai! Wake up! We are going to be late!"

Li Yunhai had already set his watch to the local time. He looked at his watch and said, "No rush, it's still early!"

The two get up and take a shower.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Li Yunhai knew that it must be Professor Ni and the others.

Shen Xiulan said with a sad face: "What should I do? If they find me in your room, they will make random guesses! I am dead!"

Li Yunhai caressed her pretty face and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? You can come find me early in the morning, can't you?"

Shen Xiulan finally calmed down and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Li Yunhai opened the door.

Professor Ni, Lin Xiaofeng, and Zhao Jinping all came and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, shall we set off?"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay!"

As soon as Lin Xiaofeng entered the door, she saw Shen Xiulan in the room and was surprised: "Mr. Shen, you got up so early?"

Shen Xiulan forced herself to calm down and said: "Well. I am more picky about beds. I always can't fall asleep in a strange environment, so I wake up early. Let's go downstairs!"

Li Yunhai counted the number of people and made sure that everything he should bring had been brought. They went downstairs to have breakfast together, and then rushed to the exhibition hall.

This is the first day of CES. According to their previous agreement, they will get at least 1500 million US dollars in orders today.

After arriving at the booth, Li Yunhai first counted the number of machines in the booth.

In this magical country, anything can happen.

Fortunately, the security at the exhibition hall was very good at night and nothing was lost. (End of chapter)
