Life 1984

Chapter 354 Conquered!

Shen Xiulan chose a long coat and tried it on. It felt good. When she looked at the price, which was US$249, she decided to buy it based on her ability to spend.

What Gong Jie said just now reminded Li Yunhai that he no longer scrambled to pay for Shen Xiulan. If he wanted to give her money, there were plenty of opportunities.

Chen Hong and three other models chose a very sexy suspender skirt priced at US$199.

These are their work clothes, and Li Yunhai pays for them.

Chen Hong also took a fancy to a mink fur coat. It was made of all-white lynx-level fur material. It was pure white and shiny, soft and comfortable to the touch. It was the best mink fur. The price was $18999.She stuck out her tongue slightly and exclaimed, "It's so precious."

If she hadn't lost the money yesterday, she would have dared to think about it. Now that she is short of money, she can only take a look at it even if she likes it.

Li Yunhai was thinking of bringing some clothes for Lin Zhi, but happened to also like this mink coat.

The mink fur coat is very loose. Lin Zhi is pregnant now, but her belly is not too big. There is no problem in buying it and wearing it through this winter.

Li Yunhai took it and looked at it, then called Shen Xiulan and asked her to help her try it on.

Because Shen Xiulan's figure is similar to Lin Zhi's, as long as she can wear it, Lin Zhi can definitely wear it.

Shen Xiulan tried it on and said with a smile: "This dress is good! It feels so comfortable! It must be very warm too! Did you buy it for Lin Zhi?"

Li Yunhai glanced at her and said, "Do you like it? Buy one piece each?"

Shen Xiulan pursed her lips: "No!"

After a while, everyone chose the clothes they liked and went to pay for them.

After going shopping and returning to the hotel, Li Yunhai discussed with Professor Ni, Ji Wenshu and others about modifying the micro-piezoelectric printer.

Professor Ni listened to Li Yunhai's idea and said: "This is easy to implement. Just connect the ink cartridge to the outside and make the ink cartridge larger. In this way, one set of ink can print many sheets of paper."

Li Yunhai said: "An ordinary ink cartridge can only print 300 sheets of A4 paper, but with our design, a set of ink can print about [-] sheets! This is the biggest selling point of our printer."

Ji Wenshu said: "Then those who sell ink cartridges will no longer be able to sell them?"

Li Yunhai said: "I estimate that with this change, the sales volume of our consumables will be even greater."

Professor Ni said: "Yes, for sure, it is like the difference between drinking bottled water and tap water. When consumers think that the ink is enough to print [-] sheets, they will not know how to save and print any information they have. However, they do not know that consumables also cost money. Money, but this money is spent all at once, rather than like a small ink cartridge, which needs to be bought every few days.”

Li Yunhai said: "Then transform it like this. After we return to China, you will realize this idea."

Professor Ni said: "No problem."

After talking about the matter, Li Yunhai returned to his room.

After he finished the phone call with Lin Zhi, he thought about going to Shen Xiulan, but he was a little hesitant. Maybe there was someone secretly watching his dealings with Shen Xiulan!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Li Yunhai stood up and opened the door and saw Shen Xiulan standing outside.

"Xiulan!" Li Yunhai invited her in and closed the door.

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "What's wrong? You don't dare to come to me today?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "I just finished talking to Lin Zhi."

Now Li Yunhai has learned to behave well. When facing Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan, he will not lie, only tell the truth, but he will have selective answers.

In this way, regardless of whether they could really tell that he was lying, he was not lying anyway.

Shen Xiulan had taken a shower, she was clean and exuded a natural body fragrance.

Li Yunhai was distracted, so he ignored her and hugged her into the bedroom.

The CES electronics show enters its third day.

More people came today because the organizing committee held a free performance at the door to attract more people to the exhibition.

Chen Hong and the others were dressed in ancient costumes and classical Chinese makeup. Although they were not exposed, they were an alternative and beautiful scenery.

Especially Chen Hong's outfit looks as beautiful as Diao Chan.

Even Gong Jie sincerely praised her for her good looks.

As soon as it started, Li Yunhai received an order.

Two buyers, one fat and one thin, who came for consultation yesterday, after going around in a circle, sent the information of each exhibitor back to the company headquarters. After careful research, the company's senior management believed that Sihai Group's products were the most cost-effective and decided to purchase them. .

The quantity they purchase for each product is not large, 500 Longteng PCs, 500 Alienware computers, and 500 fourth-generation printers.

The total order value adds up to US$605 million.

The important significance of participating in the exhibition is to make friends with buyers from all over the world. As long as the products are good enough, there will be more orders in the future.

On the contrary, if the product cannot be sold, even if it sells more at the exhibition, it may be returned later.

Electronic products are all time-sensitive. The manufacturing cycle, export, and return will take more than half a year. When the goods are returned, the product may have been updated, which will cause immeasurable losses to the company.

Therefore, Li Yunhai hopes to achieve sincere long-term cooperation with foreign buyers.

Just after signing the contract for this business, Shen Xiulan received another order.

Among the people in the Sihai Group, Shen Xiulan is the most fluent in foreign languages. In addition, she looks particularly innocent, and her tone and service are also extremely sincere, which can win the trust and love of foreign businessmen.

Every time she participated in an exhibition, she received more orders than anyone else. Even Li Yunhai felt inferior.

Lin Xiaofeng, David and others are also very good at billing. They have lived abroad for a long time and are more accustomed to dealing with foreigners.

It was busy here, and a camera crew from a local TV station came over.

As the first Chinese company to participate in the CES exhibition, Sihai Group attracted the attention of local media due to its outstanding transaction volume, so it came to interview.

Li Yunhai and Lin Xiaofeng are responsible for receiving reporters.

A male host in a suit asked Li Yunhai: "How do you know about CES, an electronics show? How did you know about it?"

Li Yunhai said: "There are many electronic magazines in our country, and there are many reports about the CES electronics show. Today's world is a globally connected world, and high-tech and products from various countries circulate with each other. In our domestic Canton Fair, every year It can attract tens of thousands of buyers from dozens of countries, including customers from the United States. We are the first Chinese company to participate in CES, and more Chinese companies will come to participate in the future!"

The host asked: "Can you introduce what unique technologies your company has?"

Li Yunhai said: "We have independently developed many technologies, such as CCA. This is the most significant invention and breakthrough in the field of office supplies. In just over three years, it has occupied 70% of the global market share."

The host said: "Oh, CCA! I remember, I have seen relevant reports in Time Magazine. Besides that? Are there any special technologies?"

Li Yunhai introduced typewriters, micro-piezoelectric printers, and Longteng PCs.

The camera follows Li Yunhai and takes pictures of these products.

After the interview was completed, Li Yunhai took a translation machine and gave it to the host: "Sir, this is a small gift for you. I hope you can use it in your work and life."

The host happily took it and said, "Thank you! I like it very much!"

After lunch, Li Yunhai took the time to browse the entire exhibition.

What surprised him was that many local electronics companies in the United States did not participate in the CES show.

Not even Apple is participating.

Apple has not attracted much attention in recent years.

Jobs was kicked out of Apple in 1985. In anger, he sold out all his Apple shares and started his own company.

Thus, Apple began its lost decade of journey.

In the past few years, Apple has not innovated much and has produced many failed products, which are extremely expensive. A Lisa computer sells for US$1, more than twice as much as other similar products. As a result, no one After asking about it, it was discontinued after only two years of production.

However, Li Yunhai was surprised that this company did not participate in the CES show.

Li Yunhai saw many Japanese companies.

Toyo's electronic products have been very popular in recent years. Audio-visual, PC, office equipment, game consoles and other fields are dominated by Toyo.

Li Yunhai came to Nintendo's booth.

Nintendo's Famicom and FC game consoles have been selling extremely hotly in the past two years.

It was also in this year that a popular game appeared on the scene: Tetris.

When Li Yunhai was visiting, a very kawaii-looking saleswoman came to entertain him, which reminded him of Michiko from Nikon.

"Can these machines of yours be retailed?" Li Yunhai asked, pointing to the FC game console.

"Okay, how many do you want to buy?"

"I'll buy one of each of these game consoles!"

"Sir, are you from Japan?"

"I am Chinese."

"A person from Xiangjiang? Or a person from Taiwan?"

"I'm from mainland China."

"Oh! That's it. Our game disks may not be available for sale in your country. Do you want to buy more of our game disks?"

"Okay!"

In fact, in China, there have long been copies of Nintendo games sold.

Nintendo's FC package costs 14800 yen, and a game costs 3000 yen.

This routine is the same as selling printers. It mainly relies on selling expensive consumables to earn income.The shopping guide then sold their FC disk drive to Li Yunhai, and the price was 9800 yen.

The FC game console uses cassette games. After connecting the FC disk drive, you can use a 3.5-inch floppy disk like a computer.This kind of floppy disk is more convenient for copying games.

Most of the replica games sold in China are floppy disks.

Li Yunhai bought a whole game console and some game disks, buying them in pieces, spending more than 700 US dollars.

He paid and returned to his booth with his items.

Shen Xiulan saw him holding a bunch of things and asked with a smile: "What did you buy?"

Li Yunhai said: "Game console."

Shen Xiulan said: "How old are you? You still buy a game console to play! Aren't there many games on the computer?"

Li Yunhai said: "These games have not been ported to computers yet. Buy them and play them to pass the time."

Shen Xiulan said: "Do you still have time to play games? Have you finished reading all the books at Adult Education University?"

Li Yunhai snorted and said with a smile: "Not yet. Don't rush, take your time. Come to my room in the evening and we will play games together. Look, there are 3D glasses!"

"3D? What's it like?"

"This is the latest product released by Nintendo. When you wear it to play games, you can see a three-dimensional picture."

Nintendo's earliest 3D system, using shutter-type 3D glasses and alternating frame sequences to create the illusion of depth.However, this system was a failure. Only six games were produced and there was no follow-up.

Li Yunhai is not afraid of being taken advantage of because he wants to fully understand the current development trends of electronic products.

Especially after having the Sihai Learning Machine, because he needs to be compatible with games on the market, he needs to know more about the development of these games.

Li Yunhai learned a few Tetris handheld games, took out one and handed it to Professor Ni, and said with a smile: "Professor Ni, you should also play with this."

Professor Ni turned on the computer, played for a while, and said, "This is quite fun, simple and you won't get tired of it. Japanese people really have a way of making games!"

Lin Xiaofeng said: "We can also develop some game software and sell it together with our learning machine, and some people will definitely buy it."

Li Yunhai said: "That is a huge industry. This is not our expertise. We should focus on electronic products and office equipment!"

He took another game console to Shen Xiulan: "This is for you."

Shen Xiulan smiled and said: "Are you trying to drag me into trouble? Playing games with you will delay my study, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "You don't want it? Then I'll give it to someone else."

Shen Xiulan reached out to take it and said, "Of course I want it! I'll keep it to play with when I'm at work!"

Everyone laughed.

Li Yunhai bought a handheld computer for everyone. This kind of machine is very cheap and does not cost a few dollars.

In the afternoon, Mike and James, who had signed a bet with Li Yunhai before, came over.

Li Yunhai greeted them and said: "You two gentlemen, must be here to fulfill your bet, right? We have sold more than 1 PCs! Mike, you have to prepare tens of thousands of dollars to buy burgers."

Mike raised his hands and said, "I surrender! I really didn't expect that your PCs are selling so well. We are here to discuss cooperation with you."

Li Yunhai asked: "What kind of cooperation are you talking about?"

Mike said: "Your PCs are sold so cheaply and the sales are very good. We want to represent your products."

Li Yunhai knew that they were also a PC manufacturer, but their PCs were not very competitive.

And these two people are just managers of the company, not the boss.

Li Yunhai asked: "Who do you represent? On behalf of your company?"

Mike said: "No, we represent ourselves. James and I discussed it and we want to open our own company to act as an agent for your products."

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, but it requires a lot of funds! Our company's purpose is to pay first and then deliver the goods."

Mike said: "We have money."

Li Yunhai said: "Very good, then before we cooperate, can you please honor the bet first? I don't want to cooperate with people who have no integrity."

Mike and James showed a helpless smile at the same time.

James smiled and said, "Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll give you $10 tomorrow! To be honest, I'm conquered by your company's products! I didn't expect your products to sell so well!"

Mike said: "Me too! I'll come back to settle the settlement with you tomorrow after the electronics show is over. When will we talk about cooperation?"

Seeing how sincere they were, Li Yunhai said: "The day after tomorrow!"

Wan Ke asked Li Yunhai where he was staying in the hotel room and then left.

Shen Xiulan asked: "Are they reliable?"

Li Yunhai said: "It doesn't matter if you pay first and then deliver the goods. How much they can sell is their business."

Shen Xiulan said: "Why don't we open a branch in the United States?"

Li Yunhai said: "Please come over and be the manager?"

Shen Xiulan said: "I can't. I think Mr. Lin is pretty good."

Li Yunhai said: "You mean Aunt Lin?"

Shen Xiulan said: "Otherwise? Do you think I am talking about Lin Zhi? Her English is not even as good as mine!"

Li Yunhai really started to think about it.

There are already branches of Sihai Group in several big cities in the country.

Li Yunhai's next step is to establish a branch in Shenzhen and then gradually expand overseas.

The domestic PC market will definitely surge significantly.

What Li Yunhai knows is that in later generations, my country's annual PC sales will reach 6000 million units, accounting for one-eighth of the world's total PC sales.

Sihai Group cannot grow without the global market.

Participating in the Hannover and CES electronics shows also allowed Sihai Group to officially go global.

Li Yunhai felt it was time to start global expansion.

He discussed it with Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng said: "I don't care, there are jobs everywhere anyway. However, you'd better recruit talents locally in the United States, local talents, who understand the local market better. Look at those foreign companies that open branches in our country, and they will Hire someone to manage it locally. David and I can be responsible for liaison with overseas branches."

Li Yunhai said: "That's fine! Let's discuss how to operate the overseas market after we go back."

He had never managed such a large multinational company in his previous life.

The current Sihai Group is developing rapidly and has long exceeded the scope of Li Yunhai's control.

He is also working hard while seriously learning how to manage.

On the third day, Sihai Group won another US$4000 million order!

The total transaction volume reached US$1.3 million.

This result far exceeded Li Yunhai's expectations and strengthened his belief in going abroad.

In the evening, Shen Xiulan came to Li Yunhai's room to play games.

Li Yunhai connected the FC game console to the TV, and he and she played with a controller.

They played a two-player game, which was quite fun.

"By the way, Xiulan, I forgot to tell you something." Li Yunhai said, "Last time I was in Xiangjiang, I saw your old classmate Liu Heping."

"Liu Heping? What did he do in Xiangjiang?"

"I lost everything by trading in the stock market. I set up a street stall in Xiangjiang and was bullied by the local young and Dangerous guys. Has he contacted you recently?"

"No! Why is he like this! He got into this field!"

"I wonder if he has returned to China? It is estimated that after this incident, he will never touch stocks again."

Shen Xiulan said: "Hao Duanduan, why are you talking to me about him?"

Li Yunhai said: "Isn't he your old classmate? I saw it, so I will tell you naturally. There is no other meaning."

Shen Xiulan said: "Let's play games! Hey, can you jump? Can you fall to death?"

There was a knock on the door.

Li Yunhai stood up and opened the door.

The visitors were Lin Xiaofeng and David, who came to discuss overseas expansion with Li Yunhai.

Lin Xiaofeng was slightly surprised when she saw Shen Xiulan in the living room.

She has seen Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan alone together several times!
At first, she didn't think about it in other directions, but when she saw the flush on Shen Xiulan's face today, she couldn't help but be filled with suspicion, wondering if there was some improper relationship between Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan?
However, she was very wealthy, but she didn't show it at the time.

After talking about the matter, she returned to her room and couldn't help but call Lin Zhi.
