Life 1984

Chapter 352 A good start!

As soon as the launch time arrived, Li Yunhai and others went all out to prepare to welcome the buyers.

In order to attract attention, the early CES invited many models, who were actually girls with big breasts. There was even a term specifically referring to these girls: trade show girls, also called booth babes. It was quite controversial at the time. Of course, these beauties were also gathered at electronics exhibitions. A theme for engineers and nerds to dream about.

Sihai Group is not immune to this and invited Chen Hong and other three beauties to take the stage.

On the first day, Chen Hong and the others were all wearing bikinis.

Compared to the models at other booths, their one-piece bikinis were considered very conservative.

The babes in foreign booths are all wearing the coolest three-point swimwear.

More than 98% of the skin on the model can be seen.

The models they hired all had curvy fronts and backs, and they looked as stunning as they wanted.

Shen Xiulan had heard Li Yunhai talk about this before and was prepared, but when she saw such a scene, she was still shocked and found it unimaginable.

She asked Li Yunhai in a low voice: "Yunhai, don't Westerners pretend to be gentlemen? Why do they engage in such activities?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Gentlemen? In fact, they are the so-called gentry, which refers to powerful local landowners or retired bureaucrats! In ancient times in the West, gentlemen were slave owners! This term is completely different from our gentleman. No comparison!”

Shen Xiulan said: "That's right! But subconsciously, we equate gentlemen with our gentlemen!"

Li Yunhai said: "A gentleman's courtesy is only expressed to the same level and the upper class. No one treats the lower class as a gentleman."

Shen Xiulan said: "Look at those foreign men, looking at the treasures in the booth, your tears are about to leak out! How disgusting!"

Li Yunhai said: "Food, sex, sex! What's there to be embarrassed about? Don't say they are just taking a look, as long as you are willing to do it, it doesn't matter what they do? Don't you think so?"

Shen Xiulan hummed shyly.

From time to time, foreign businessmen came into the booth.

Li Yunhai and others braced themselves to deal with it.

Every foreign businessman who came in was first attracted by the dazzling array of electronic products, and then discovered the Chinese characters on the wall. They were surprised and asked: "China?"

Li Yunhai and others would answer affirmatively: "Yes, China!"

This time, Li Yunhai and the others also brought a brand new Alienware 386PC with a transparent chassis.

The improved transparent chassis is more cool and shiny.

When it was started and running on site, the dazzling lighting effect attracted foreign businessmen.

In order to get more orders, Li Yunhai and the others focused their sales on Longteng PCs, Alienware computers and fourth-generation typewriters.

As for the newly developed Chinese learning machine, it was of little use to foreigners, so it was not exhibited at the exhibition.

PCs and typewriters are two products with high unit prices and high profits.

Just one order can cost millions of dollars.

Li Yunhai received several foreign businessmen and introduced Longteng PC to them.

"PCs produced by Chinese?" the tall-nosed foreign businessman shouted in shock, "Are you assemblers?"

Li Yunhai took out a separate Longteng motherboard and said: "Sir, this is a 386 motherboard that we independently developed and designed. Among global PC manufacturers, only a few companies such as Intel and Compaq can design and produce this kind of 386 motherboard. Our motherboards have many self-developed technologies, making our motherboards more than 1.5 times faster than similar motherboards."

"Is it faster than Compaq's computer?" Gao Nozhi obviously didn't believe it.

Li Yunhai said: "We have done tests, and it really needs to be fast! Last year, we participated in the Hannover Electronics Show and were unanimously recognized by our peers at the show. We can do a test for you to see."

Gao Nozhi said: "You produce the motherboard? What about the chips and memory? They must be imported, right?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Everything is produced by ourselves. We also have our own Chinese system, but this is an export product, so we have MSDOS pre-installed."

Gao Nozhi tried to operate the alien computer, then checked the configuration information, and said: "This PC has very high configurations!"

Li Yunhai said: "This is a gaming PC we launched, specifically aimed at young people who like individuality. They buy computers not only for work, but also for playing games. Our high-performance computers are not only capable of high-intensity design work , and can also take advantage of all game software on the market.”

Gao Noi asked: "How much does such a computer cost?"

Li Yunhai said: "Our ex-factory price is US$4599. As for how much you can sell it for, you can price it based on local prices."

After hearing the price, Gao Nozhi exclaimed: "Wow! Such a good computer only costs $4599? How is your quality? Isn't it rubbish?"

Li Yunhai said: "We provide a global three-month replacement service! One-year warranty for the whole machine and three-year warranty for key parts! Our company is headquartered in Xiangjiang. There is a Sihai Building in Xiangjiang, which is the original British Navy Building. Now It was bought by our company. If you have ever been to Xiangjiang, you will definitely see the towering signboard of our company."

"Xiangjiang Sihai Building?" The tall nose turned to ask a bearded man, "Hey, Renault, you have been to Xiangjiang, do you know this company?"

The British man named Renault thought for a while and said, "I think I've heard of it! Our country's Navy Building in Xiangjiang was indeed sold. It seems to be called Sihai Building now. Allen, this is a very powerful company. ! At least that’s the case in the Chinese world.”

Allen, a tall-nosed man, nodded and said to Li Yunhai: "I want to purchase 1000 of this kind of computer. If they sell well, I will place additional orders."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Allen. I'm glad to cooperate with you!"

1000 computers is not a lot, but there are almost 460 million orders, which is a good start and brings confidence to the people of Sihai Group.

Li Yunhai introduced the fourth generation typewriter and translator and other products to Allen: "Mr. Allen, please allow me to introduce to you our fourth generation computer typewriter. This is by far the most advanced and functional in the world." The most complete smart typewriter. I wonder if you have ever come into contact with it before?"

Allen was very interested in typewriters and said to Renault: "I have seen this product in a company before. They use this typewriter. It is more advanced than the English typewriter and can type in several languages."

Li Yunhai introduced them to the functions of the fourth generation typewriter and said: "This typewriter of ours can type in six languages. It can not only type but also translate. Mr. Allen, you can try it out. The English you type , can be translated into Chinese.”

"Oh? Can it be translated into Chinese? I'll try!" Allen typed on a typewriter.

Translation machines have been around for a long time, but a translation typewriter with such multiple functions is unique.

For those who have study and work needs, this typewriter is absolutely an irreplaceable and perfect product.

Allen typed a line in English, then pressed the translation key and selected the Chinese option.

Touch the English on the screen and it will be converted into Chinese immediately.

"That's great!" Allen smiled. "A machine like this is simply the best working tool for translators and writers! How can I sell this?"

Li Yunhai knew that the other party must be a big boss, so he said: "3500 US dollars per unit."

"Oh! It's a bit expensive, the PC is only $4599." Allen shook his head slightly.

Many people will sigh like this when they look at computers and then look at computer typewriters: It’s too expensive!

Li Yunhai had already prepared a set of words and said: "Our product uses a touch screen and comes with a typewriter, which also has computer functions. It can be said that this is a full-featured computer typewriter. Its use The scene is completely different from computers. Some people may not need a computer, but they definitely need a computer typewriter."

This convinced Allen, and he nodded and said, "That's right. Well, I'll first purchase 500 computer typewriters. I'm not sure if there are many people who need this machine!"

Li Yunhai was ecstatic and won another order of US$175 million!

Allen's two orders combined totaled almost US$635 million!
Li Yunhai brought the contract documents and carefully discussed the details of the contract transaction with Allen.

After both parties had no objections, they signed.

Li Yunhai has made two orders here, and Shen Xiulan and others are also receiving foreign businessmen over there.

The electronic products of this large Eastern country have attracted the attention of countless foreign businessmen.

Many people didn't understand or trust it at first, but when they saw that Sihai Group had so many patented technologies, they became very shocked.

Sihai Group designs and produces its own motherboards, chips, and memories!This is enough to establish itself among the world's PC manufacturers!

Coupled with its unique industrial design, Sihai Computer's performance, speed and appearance are all superior.

The buyers who come here are all smart people. They shop around and make comparisons. Whose computer configuration is better?How does it perform and look?They know it all.

The computers of this period were almost all similar in appearance, square and square, and the colors were either black or white.

It wasn't until they saw the alien computer of the Sihai Group that they were shocked.

Not surprisingly, Alienware Computer became the most eye-catching presence at the CES show.

Shen Xiulan also quickly negotiated a computer order. The other party ordered Longteng PC because they mainly target business customers.

The price of this computer is US$3999. Compared with the Alienware computer, the configuration is slightly worse, and the chassis is also an ordinary chassis.

The other party purchased 500 PCs for US$200 million!
After just over an hour of work, an order worth more than 800 million US dollars was obtained, and half of the task was completed. Li Yunhai and others were very excited.

Li Yunhai saw the Mike he had bet with yesterday walking over.When Mike saw the Sihai Group booth crowded with people, he was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes!

How come Chinese electronic products are so popular among buyers?

When they came yesterday, Sihai Group had just set up the exhibition and the computers were not turned on.

Today, when he saw the cool appearance of the alien computer, he was stunned.

He came over and let out a cry of surprise: "What kind of computer is this?"

Li Yunhai said: "Mike, you came just in time! We sold 1500 computers today, you should cash in this part of your bet first! Also, what is your friend's name? James, yes, that's James. Sir, he has already lost! Because we have already opened a bill. Can he pay me the $10 he owes me?"

Mike was shocked: "You sold 1500 computers? It has just been more than an hour, and you actually sold so many computers?"

Li Yunhai said: "This is absolutely true. There is also a buyer who is signing a contract! This is not a fake on our part. Mike, you can't afford to lose, can you?"

Mike had a weird look on his face. A burger costs US$2. 1500 burgers is US$3000!His monthly salary is gone!

And this is just the beginning!
Next, for every additional computer Li Yunhai sells, Mike will have to pay an extra $2 for burgers!

As for James, he lost $10 because he bet on his good friend Mike!
Mike scratched his head and said calmly: "This, that, of course we won't cheat. Let's wait until the exhibition is over!"

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Li Yunhai sneered: "Americans can't afford to lose!"

This CES electronics show is indeed better than the Hannover exhibition. There are more foreign businessmen coming and it is easier to make deals.

After a busy first day, Li Yunhai and the others secured an order worth US$2000 million!

The task was exceeded.

PC sales increased by 1000 units!
Micropiezoelectric printers and translators are also on the market.

When it was almost time to get off work, several more foreign businessmen walked into the booth.

A foreign businessman stared at Chen Hong and the three models without blinking. He suddenly reached out and wanted to touch Chen Hong's breasts.

Chen Hong was so frightened that he backed away quickly, covering his chest with his hands, and ran towards Li Yunhai.

The other two models also backed away in fear.

Li Yunhai stood in front of Chen Hong and said to the foreign businessman: "Sir, please be more respectful!"

The foreign businessman said indifferently: "I just want to touch it, I don't want to do anything!"

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "You can't touch it!"

The foreign businessman said with disdain: "I just want to touch it to see if it is real or fake! Just don't touch it!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Chen Hong had just stopped being frightened and clung to Li Yunhai's back, grabbing his arms nervously with both hands.

Li Yunhai turned around and said: "It's okay. It's almost time to get off work, please put on your clothes! Thank you for your hard work today, you attracted a lot of traffic to us!"

Chen Hong and the others really contributed a lot!

Three pretty beauties with great figures are very attractive to foreign businessmen.

While Chen Hong was getting dressed, he asked, "Mr. Li, how many orders have you received today?"

Li Yunhai said: "About 2000 million."

Chen Hong asked again: "2000 million US dollars? How much money can you earn?"

Li Yunhai said: "Extract all costs and make a profit of 50%!"

Chen Hong said: "That's 1000 million U.S. dollars, and the official exchange rate is 3800 million yuan?"

She was stunned by this number!
In her opinion, making a movie and selling a box office of 2000 to [-] million is already a great achievement.

Li Yunhai can earn 1000 million US dollars in one day from doing business!

No wonder he despises the little income from making movies!
Chen Hong is a smart person. She worked hard to get into the theater, isn't it just to become a star?And what is the purpose of being a star?To make money of course.

But compared to the speed at which Li Yunhai makes money, the little money celebrities make is insignificant.

Li Yunhai's image in her eyes instantly became three-dimensional and taller.

After get off work, Li Yunhai invited everyone to a local restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, Chen Hong suggested that we go shopping together?There is strength in numbers, and we are not afraid of being bullied by the locals.

Otherwise, the three little girls would really not dare to run around casually.

Li Yunhai said okay, let’s go for a walk together!

Every hotel on both sides of the casino street is worth visiting.

Each hotel has a different exotic style and will also set up different entertainment projects to attract guests.

In this place, nothing is impossible.

Even the tricks played in the dance hall were different. Several women were posing in the cage and taking off their few clothes one by one.

Li Yunhai and the others didn't know it was this kind of place, so they went in to take a look, and happened to see several pretty girls and two fit men doing this kind of strip dance.

The men watched with gusto, while the women covered their eyes repeatedly.

Shen Xiulan pulled Li Yunhai: "Let's go! What's so good about this? It's so ugly!"

Professor Ni smiled and said: "Did you see it? This is the capitalist way of life, which is particularly corrosive to people!"

Li Yunhai said: "We should look at this kind of thing with a critical eye. Only after we have appreciated it can we criticize!"

Everyone laughed together.

The next performance was even more unsightly!
Several women said let's go, but Li Yunhai and the other men were too embarrassed to stay, so they had to leave angrily.

Chen Hong chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that a good song and dance hall would have such a performance! I thought it would be like listening to music and dancing like in China!"

Li Yunhai said: "There must be such a song and dance hall, but it will not be popular. Because Westerners are too open-minded."

Shen Xiulan said: "To put it nicely, it is openness, but to put it badly, it is primitive and barbaric!"

Professor Ni said: "This makes sense! So, is it civilized when these clothes are put on? Or is it civilized when they are taken off? Obviously, primitive people did not have clothes to wear, so the development of civilization should make people wear them well. clothing."

The crowd took it for granted.

When everyone goes shopping, they stop to linger when they see something good-looking, and when they see something delicious, they buy it and try it.

They came to a restaurant again and went in to gamble and enjoy themselves.

Shen Xiulan won five hundred US dollars yesterday, and she also wanted to win money today.

Everyone bought a hundred dollars worth of chips to play.

Shen Xiulan was very lucky today. She won $30 while playing the slot machine.

Chen Hong's luck was very bad. When he was betting big or small, he lost all his chips in one go.

"Mr. Li, lend me some money and I'll repay it." Chen Hong was unconvinced and stretched out his delicate little hand in front of Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai gave her all his chips: "Chen Hong, forget it if you lose, don't gamble anymore. You are still a student! Don't play so big."

Chen Hong pursed his lips: "I can afford to lose! I'm just not convinced! At worst, I'll mortgage myself to you. How much am I worth?"

Li Yunhai snorted, thinking that with your appearance and figure, you are really worth a lot of money!

But he didn't answer the question.

Chen Hong turned around and bet all the chips Li Yunhai gave her.

Shen Xiulan won another two hundred dollars today, and she bet all on Xiaoshang.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, if you place bets of different sizes, only one of you can win!The other person will definitely lose everything!
