Life 1984

Chapter 355 She and I are learning foreign languages

It happened to be the weekend. Lin Zhi was resting at home. She was very happy to receive a call from her aunt. The two chatted for a long time.

When she heard Lin Xiaofeng tactfully remind her to pay more attention to Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Aunt, you are worrying too much! Yunhai and Xiulan are very good friends. They should be closer together. It's a normal thing. I believe in Yunhai and I believe in Xiulan."

Lin Xiaofeng sighed softly and said: "Okay, since you have said so, then if I continue to say it, it will appear to be a villain. I am your biological aunt, and I am saying this for my own good. You don't want to Talk to Yunhai!"

Lin Zhi said: "Auntie, I know, I am sensible. Thank you for being willing to say these things to me."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhi saw Ding Miao sitting watching TV and shouted: "Miaomiao! Come here."

Ding Miao stood up and walked to her: "Sister Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Zhi took out ten yuan and handed it to her and said, "I suddenly want to eat something sour. Go out and buy me some oranges and come back to eat."

Ding Miao agreed, got up, changed her shoes and went out.

Lin Zhi wrote down the phone number of Li Yunhai's hotel room and called him immediately.

Li Yunhai quickly answered the call.

"Hey Yunhai, what are you doing?"

"I'm playing games with Xiulan! I bought a game console at the electronics show. When we get home, we'll play together."

"Oh, is Xiulan here? Let me have a few words with her."

Li Yunhai called Shen Xiulan and handed the microphone to her.

Shen Xiulan smiled and said: "Ling Zhi! Do you miss me?"

Lin Zhi said: "Yes! Thank you for taking care of my Yunhai these days."

Shen Xiulan was alert and said: "I have never taken care of her. There are many women taking care of her! There are Gong Jie and Chen Hong, all of them are super beauties. Compared with them, I am not the best. The shoes don’t even match anymore. In terms of closeness, Mr. Lin is closer to Yunhai than me, right? If he hadn’t insisted on dragging me over to play games with him today, I wouldn’t have bothered to care about him!”

Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "That won't work. You must take good care of my Yunhai."

She spoke of my family's sea of ​​clouds, declaring sovereignty to Shen Xiulan all the time.

"Xiulan, think about it, Gong Jie and the others are not familiar with us, so they don't know how to take care of Yunhai! My aunt is with David. Although they have not remarried yet, they are still in love now. How can she have time? Are you here to take care of my Yunhai? I can only leave it to you. Those who can do the hard work, and when you come back, I will reward you with delicious food."

"Okay, I'll be back in two days at most anyway! The electronics show ends tomorrow. It's too difficult to travel on business. I don't want to go on a business trip in the future. When you give birth to a child, I would rather help you take care of the child at home!"

"Okay, this is what you said! Don't go back on it then."

The two of them chatted casually, seemingly casually, but in fact they were always being playful.

Li Yunhai heard the clue from the side.

After Shen Xiulan put down the phone, Li Yunhai asked, "What did Lin Zhi tell you?"

Shen Xiulan had resisted getting angry just now, but now she couldn't hold it in any longer and sneered: "Your sea of ​​clouds, your sea of ​​clouds! Is the sea of ​​clouds yours? I'm afraid I don't know!"

Li Yunhai put down the game controller, held her hand, and said, "What did she say to make you angry?"

"Someone must have talked to her!"

"what's up?"

"It's about us being together! I told you to pay attention, but you didn't pay attention. It's okay now! Someone has complained to Lin Zhi!"

"No way? Are you too worried?"

"Don't I know what kind of person Lin Zhi is? Her mind is just a little bigger than the butt of a pin! Every word of what she just said is reminding me to stay away from you! "

"Impossible! Lin Zhi would never say that. Even if someone snitches, she will choose to believe us."

"Yes, she did say trust me and let me take care of you more. But when I heard her tone, it was clear that she was speaking sarcastically! Do you think I can't hear it?"

"Who would snitch? It doesn't make sense! No one has seen us together!"

Shen Xiulan stood up to leave and said, "How do I know? I'd better hurry over! If someone sees us again, they might be able to arrange something for us again."

Li Yunhai held her hand: "What are you afraid of? Let's play games."

Shen Xiulan sneered and said: "I'm not afraid! I'm single, what do I have to be afraid of? In this world, let alone you and her not married yet, even if you are married, I can snatch you over! I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you Be a human being!”

Li Yunhai shouted: "Xiulan!"

Shen Xiulan broke away from his hand. This time she walked resolutely and went straight back to her room.

Li Yunhai sighed helplessly.

He was thinking, who called Lin Zhi?

Gong Jie is impossible!
Li Yunhai believed her on this point.

Chen Hong?

She didn't know Lin Zhi's phone number at all. She didn't even know that Li Yunhai already had a fiancée, right?
Li Yunhai was not familiar with her either, so there was no need to talk about these private matters.

He was puzzled.

Li Yunhai was no longer interested in playing games. He got up and went to Gong Jie's room door and knocked on the door.

Gong Jie came over, opened the door, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, what's the matter? Please come in and talk."

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "You haven't rested yet?"

Gong Jie said: "I am watching TV and learning English from the TV. When I encounter a word I don't know, I use a translator to translate it. I am old and it is difficult to learn English well."

Li Yunhai said: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing. Sister Gong, do you know my home phone number?"

Gong Jie said: "I don't know, what's wrong?"

Li Yunhai said: "That's it. I'm afraid if you have anything to do with me in the future, you can call me at home!"

Gong Jie said: "Don't you have a pager? If I'm in China and I need to see you, I can just call your pager."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, it must not have been Gong Jie's tip.

Who is it?
Couldn't it be Lin Xiaofeng?
After much thought, only Lin Xiaofeng was the most likely suspect.

Gong Jie lived in a single room. She was sitting on the bed watching TV. The bed was opened and her clothes were very cool.

Li Yunhai couldn't stay for long, so he said, "Go on, we'll talk tomorrow."

Gong Jie said: "Mr. Li, it's okay, I just want to chat with you!"

Li Yunhai had no choice but to sit down and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Gong Jie said: "Can our Shanghai branch sell goods to surrounding provinces and cities?"

Li Yunhai said: "Of course."

Gong Jie said: "Then what happens when the group sets up branches in these provinces and cities? There will be competition between us and them."

Li Yunhai said: "What we sell are all the company's goods, it doesn't matter! You are all branches, not agents or distributors."

The collar of Gong Jie's pajamas was opened a little low, and when she lowered her head, a large patch of white flowers could be seen.

Li Yunhai almost couldn't look away.

Gong Jie also realized this, smiled shyly, and said without deliberately covering it up: "Mr. Li, this time I participated in the CES show, I opened the smallest order. Am I particularly useless?"

Li Yunhai said: "Don't say that, you have opened a lot of orders. Once you learn English well, you will be even more powerful."

"Mr. Li, you are so good at English, teach me." Gong Jie held an English book and sat on the edge of the bed.

There is only one chair in the house, and other than that, there is room for people to sit on the bed.

Li Yunhai had no choice but to turn his chair around, lean against the bed, and read the contents of the book with Gong Jie.

Gong Jie has been learning English for the past two years and has greatly improved her level, but her vocabulary has not improved yet.

Li Yunhai asked her some grammar and sentence patterns, and she could answer them fluently.

"Sister Gong, your problem is mainly that you don't have enough vocabulary. You need to memorize more."

"I usually read and study every day and memorize a lot of vocabulary. But when it comes to communicating with foreign businessmen, I feel that it is not enough."

"Because this is actual combat. You may know some words, but when you actually say them, you forget them."

"Yes, that's it. Sometimes I have learned a word, but when I want to say it, my mind goes blank and I can't find it."

"So you need to practice more, and you can also talk to people who understand English. Also, our sales pitches all have a set of printed scripts. There are professional terms in our industry on them. You just need to use this set of pitches Once we figure it out, it won’t be difficult to deal with foreign businessmen.”

"Where can I find such words?"

"Oh, you haven't participated in the Canton Fair, so you don't have it. I'll give you a copy later."

"Do you have any over there? Give it to me now."

She put on her coat and went out with Li Yunhai.

As soon as the two of them walked out, they happened to bump into Chen Hong.

Chen Hong smiled and said: "Sister Gong, I was just going to chat with you! Are you and Mr. Li busy? Let's chat then!"

Seeing that Gong Jie was wearing pajamas, she couldn't help but blinked and turned around to go back to her room.

Li Yunhai brought Gong Jie to his room, took out a sales pitch and handed it to her, and said: "This is what we summarized at the Canton Fair. The language, tone, and vocabulary when chatting with foreign businessmen are all written down. . As long as you memorize this and practice more, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Gong Jie smiled and said: "Mr. Li, let's practice now. You will be a foreign businessman and we will have a dialogue."

"it is good!"

There are a certain number of questions that foreign businessmen often ask after entering the booth.Li Yunhai summarized it very comprehensively.

This training material is equivalent to a Canton Fair sales textbook.

Gong Jie studied it several times and benefited a lot.

The two practiced until 10:30 in the evening, and then Gong Jie went to sleep.

The next day is also the last day of the CES electronics show.

Chen Hong and the others put on the suspender skirts they bought in an American mall, showing off their beautiful figures.

Among the three models, Chen Hong's legs are the most beautiful, long and round, white and delicate, and her whole body exudes a gentle temperament.

Last night, the local TV station in Las Vegas broadcast an interview with Sihai Group, praising this company from the Eastern country.

It's just that this kind of publicity doesn't help much with billing.

Today is the last day, and Li Yunhai and others go all out.

Seeing Shen Xiulan's cold face, Li Yunhai stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Shen Xiulan sneered: "Don't provoke me! Don't you have Sister Gong?"

"Hey, why is it related to Sister Gong again? When does the matter between us have anything to do with her?"

"Humph, you think I don't know? She was in your room the whole time last night!"

"Oh! Last night, Sister Gong and I were learning foreign languages. We were really learning foreign languages! She has never participated in the Canton Fair before, so I gave her a sales pitch material and practiced it twice with her."

"What does it have to do with me? You don't have to explain it to me." Shen Xiulan rolled her eyes at him, but her tone was obviously much better.

It's really scary for a woman to be jealous, and there's no reason to explain it.

Li Yunhai touched her hand lightly and said, "After get off work today, let's go out and play!"

"I'm very busy after get off work today!"

"what are you busy at?"

"Aren't you allowed to summarize the results of this exhibition? I want to take stock and settle the accounts. You can take others to play!"

"Then let's go out and play tomorrow!"

At this time, the booth became busy again, and Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan had to step forward to receive foreign businessmen.

A tall and beautiful blonde girl walked in. She looked in the booth and suddenly saw Li Yunhai, staring at him.

Li Yunhai had just finished receiving a group of guests. He turned around to see her and smiled at her: "Hello!"

"Hello, I think we have met somewhere?" The blonde girl showed a bright smile.

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, we met once at the bar of the New York Plaza Hotel. You were waiting for Michael Jackson at the time. Your name is Xiaosi, right?"

Xiaosi smiled and said: "Oh - yes, I remembered it. I didn't expect us to meet here again! What are you doing here? Like me, are you here to visit?"

Li Yunhai said: "This is our company's booth. We are here to participate in the CES electronics show."

Xiao Si nodded and said OK several times.

Li Yunhai asked: "I saw you at the casino the night before yesterday. Did you win or lose?"

"Lost!" Xiaosi covered her mouth and smiled sheepishly, "I lost miserably. You saw me, why didn't you say hello to me? Is it because we are not friends yet?"

Li Yunhai said: "You are at the gambling table, I can't disturb you."

Xiaosi pointed to the products in the booth and asked, "Are they all from your company?"

Li Yunhai said yes.

Xiaosi said: "You should advertise. In our country, if you don't advertise something, no one will know about it. No matter how good your product is, no one will buy it."

Li Yunhai thought about it and asked, "You know Michael very well? Can I ask him to shoot a commercial? It would be best if you work with him."

Xiaosi said: "Of course! But Michael's pay is not low."

Li Yunhai said: "I think I can afford this price."

Xiaosi said: "Okay, then I'll contact Michael first. How can I contact you?"

Li Yunhai took out his business card, then took out a pen, wrote down his hotel room and phone number on it, handed it to her, and said: "I have been staying here for the past two days. Please contact Michael as soon as possible. I waiting for your good news."

Xiaosi picked up the business card and left him a contact information, then raised her hand to him: "Don't worry, it's on me! Goodbye!"

She twisted her waist and left charmingly.

Shen Xiulan walked over, looked at Xiaosi's back, and asked, "Who is she?"

Li Yunhai said: "Her name is Xiaosi, she is a little star in the United States."

Shen Xiulan said: "She's so beautiful! Why do you know all the beauties? Who did you ask her to find for the commercial just now?"

"Michael Jackson."

"That singer?"

"Correct."

"Is it expensive if he shoots commercials?"

"Well, the most expensive celebrity in history! He signed two advertising contracts with Pepsi-Cola, and his annual salary is as high as 1500 million US dollars."

"So outrageous? 1500 million US dollars, just two ads!"

"But his influence is unparalleled. Even if he doesn't accept advertising and just relies on the sales of albums and singles, he can still earn US$1.2 million a year! Isn't it outrageous?"

"It's incredible! He alone can make more money than many companies."

"Our company's revenue last year was only this much."

Shen Xiulan was amazed by this.

Li Yunhai thought that if he could really hire Michael Jackson to shoot a commercial, he would have to use an alien computer to shoot it.

Michael’s Typhoon matches the positioning of Alien very well.

This advertisement requires a salary of at least US$800 million.

Not worth it?

Li Yunhai thought it was worth it.

This may be the fastest entry point into foreign markets!

Leverage word-of-mouth through Michael's influence and his hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

In any case, it can at least enhance the global influence of Sihai Group.

Li Yunhai would have to sell 4000 computers to earn back this advertising fee.

With Michael's influence, couldn't he help Li Yunhai sell 4000 computers?
Li Yunhai thinks it is absolutely possible!
So he was willing to give it a try.

In order to cooperate with Michael's advertising, Li Yunhai had to establish overseas sales channels as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a dealer or an agent.

Li Yunhai thought of the two guys who owed him gambling money.

If they really have this ability, just give them an agent qualification.

He thought again of the old man who had taken [-] Longteng PCs. He wondered where this man came from?Maybe you can also develop into an agent!
Li Yunhai found the contact information of the customer. His name was Hebrew, and he was the owner of a trading firm in New York.

He decided to call Hebrews again that evening.

On the last day of CES, the exhibition hall was packed with people.

Sihai Group’s booth was packed with people.

In one morning, Li Yunhai and the others secured an order worth US$2000 million.

After lunch, Li Yunhai held a brief meeting and said: "So far, we have received an order of US$1.5 million, with a few hours left. We hope we can get another US$5 million and complete 2 A billion-dollar dream! Let’s work hard together!”

Chen Hong asked: "Mr. Li, if we don't complete the US$2 million, do we still have a bonus of US$[-]?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Don't talk about this now! We must try our best to achieve this goal!"

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li, are we still participating in CES in Chicago in the summer?"

Li Yunhai said: "Let's talk about it then! By the way, we will probably invite Michael Jackson to shoot an advertisement. If we can really invite him, then we will build a foreign sales network as soon as possible, especially in the United States. Sales channels! Tonight, we will have a meeting to discuss."

After everyone heard this, they all shouted "Wow!"
Chen Hong waved his hands and asked loudly: "Mr. Li, can we really hire a singer? Can I co-produce an advertisement with him? I just need to show my face!"

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "No! This is an advertisement for foreign consumers. It has a profound impact on our global strategy, so don't join in the fun!"

Professor Ni smiled and said: "That's right, you are still a student. Even if you have to choose someone from China to appear in an advertisement, you have to choose a well-known actress like Gong Jie!"

Chen Hong sighed regretfully.

Gong Jie just laughed.

After lunch time, more and more people came to visit the exhibition hall.

Li Yunhai and others worked hard to welcome foreign businessmen.
