Life 1984

When Li Yunhai accompanied Zhu Lin downstairs, he happened to meet Guo Wanhua.

Guo Wanhua came to Xizhou this time and brought a driver, assistant and a nanny.

When she went to work at the company during the day, she put her child at Li Yunhai's house. She had just arrived at Li's house for dinner, took her child back to the hotel, and met Li Yunhai and the others in the lobby.

Guo Wanhua was a newcomer. She glanced at Zhu Lin and found that her cheeks were pink and her eyes were blurred. She couldn't help but be stunned, thinking what had Zhu Lin experienced?
Li Yunhai smiled and greeted Guo Wanhua: "Sister Guo, I'm going out to eat with Sister Zhu, do you want to come with me?"

Guo Wanhua said with a dignified face: "I have eaten at your house. Why did you come down to eat so late?"

Li Yunhai said without changing his expression: "Sister Zhu and I are talking about the work in Beijin."

Guo Wanhua knew about Sihai Square, so she hummed, looked at Zhu Lin, and said with a smile: "You are so beautiful as a flower!"

Zhu Lin heard that there was something wrong in her words, but she was indeed an actress and said calmly: "Mr. Guo, you are also beautiful."

She looked at An An and smiled: "An An, come here, let auntie give you a hug!"

An An put down the fingers in her mouth and rushed over with open hands.

Zhu Lin hugged the child and said with a smile: "It's so cute! Mr. Guo really knows how to take care of children. This child is so handsome!"

An An asked Li Yunhai to hug him again and shouted: "Daddy!"

Li Yunhai took it and kissed An An's forehead.

The three of them chatted, and Guo Wanhua took the nanny and the child upstairs.

Zhu Lin and Li Yunhai walked out of the hotel and said with a smile: "The kid is really like an elf, so lovable!"

Li Yunhai asked her to get in the car and said, "Would you like to have one?"

Zhu Lin touched his forehead lightly and said: "It's a lie to say that I don't want to have a baby, but who will I have a baby with? With you? Do you think it's appropriate?"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, if you ask that, it must be inappropriate.

Every woman has different ideas. Some women really like children and want to have children, but some women like children but don’t want to have children themselves.

Li Yunhai did not insist on this.

He took Zhu Lin to the night market street and went to Yinyuan Restaurant for dinner.

Li Yunhai knew that Zhu Lin couldn't eat spicy food, so he ordered some light dishes.

Zhu Lin looked at the menu and said, "I thought all Hunan dishes were spicy! I didn't expect there to be so many non-spicy dishes."

Li Yunhai said: "Many delicious dishes in Hunan cuisine are not spicy. Steamed cured meat, cross-bridge tofu, poached belly, perilla potatoes, and hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, these are all famous dishes. Even the spicy ones The dishes can also be made without spicy food.”

Zhu Lin put down the recipe in his hand, looked at the crowded night market street outside, and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many people in Xizhou at night. It's so lively!"

Li Yunhai said: "Now we are focusing on the economy. There are particularly many migrant workers and self-employed people, so the nighttime economy has prospered."

After dinner, the two went shopping in the night market.

Zhu Lin didn't want to buy anything, he just wanted to take a walk.

"Where is the Sihai Center? Take me to see it." Zhu Lin said.

The two came to the Sihai Center under construction, next to the Silver Star Cinema.

"This location is very good!" Zhu Lin still had some discernment. He looked at the location of the construction site and said, "This is the city center, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "This is the absolute city center of Xizhou City. It is between Wuyi Road and Jiefang Road."

In order to catch up with the project, there is also construction here at night.

Zhu Lin asked: "How long did it take to lay the foundation here?"

Li Yunhai said: "The foundation is the foundation of the building. It took six months to lay the foundation here."

"What about the building over there in Beijin? Will it also take so long?"

"more or less!"

"Then the building will not be built until the end of 1988?"

"Ok!"

The two of them did not enter the construction site, but passed by outside and came to the Silver Star Cinema. They both said they should watch a movie, so they bought tickets and went in.

After watching the movie, it was late at night.

Li Yunhai sent her to the hotel.

Zhu Lin knew that he didn't have time to accompany him at night, so he didn't invite him upstairs and got off the car directly and went back to the hotel.

Li Yunhai returned home and received a call from Guo Wanhua.

"Yunhai, I just received a call from Xiangjiang, saying that the American Wangan Computer Company responded to the email."

Li Yunhai perked up and asked, "Sister Guo, how are you? What did they say?"

Guo Wanhua said: "Wang An Company said that they refuse to be acquired. But they can negotiate cooperation."

Li Yunhai said: "Did they say how to cooperate? I mentioned before that if the acquisition fails, I can become a shareholder in their company."

Guo Wanhua said: "Wang An Company also rejected our investment."

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly, this was actually what he expected.

Because Wang An retired behind the scenes due to health reasons, the company was left to his son to take care of it.In Wang An's view, the company is their family business and will not allow outsiders to interfere. Therefore, even though he knew that his son's qualifications were average, he still passed the company to his son instead of passing it on to a more capable outsider.

In fact, Wang An Company made a decisive decision-making mistake in the 80s.Their company did not transform into personal computers in time, and still cooperated with the military and enterprises.

However, Apple and IBM successively launched personal computers in the early 80s, thus seizing the opportunity of personal computers.

In the late 80s, Wang An Company had another chance, but after they entered the personal computer business, they made an even worse choice and refused to be compatible with IBM computers, thus losing their last good opportunity.

Li Yunhai wanted to cooperate with them mainly because of their technology and market.

In the United States, the only computer company that can compete with IBM, apart from Apple, is Wang An Computer Company.

Unfortunately, Wang An Computer Company rejected Li Yunhai's acquisition and joining.

Guo Wanhua said: "Yunhai, I have an idea. How about our company and Wang An Company each invest part of the funds to establish a new company?"

Li Yunhai thought about it carefully and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed. The Wang family has a strong desire to control the company. Even if they set up a partnership, they will definitely want to have control. What is the use of a company that we cannot control? ?”

Guo Wanhua said: "Wang An Company is indeed an amazing computer company. Their Wang brand computers now rank eighth in global sales!"

Li Yunhai said: "What a pity! Wang An missed Sihai, and Sihai also missed Wang An! This may be the cooperation in which our Chinese computers are most likely to succeed in counterattack!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yunhai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He found the contact number of Wang An's company and called.

It's morning over there in the United States.

After the call was connected, Li Yunhai said in English: "Hello, is this Wang An Company?"

A crisp female voice replied: "Hello, we are Wang An Computer Company. Who are you?"

Li Yunhai said: "I am the president of Sihai Group, and my name is Li Yunhai. I want to discuss something very important with your boss, Wang An."

"Sihai Group, Li Yunhai?" the other party repeated, "What kind of company is it? Does it cooperate with our company?"

Li Yunhai had no choice but to be patient and explain to the other party what kind of company Sihai Group was.

"Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment. I'm going to ask our Mr. Wang for instructions."

"What I'm looking for is your old Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang An and Wang, not Mr. Wang."

"Sorry, our old Mr. Wang has retired, and now we, Mr. Wang, are responsible for all the company's affairs."

"Okay! I'll trouble you then."

Li Yunhai couldn't find Wang An, so he could only find Mr. Wang, who was now in charge.

After a while, Li Yunhai heard the other party reply: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, our Mr. Wang said that he knew that you were looking for him to discuss acquisitions and shareholdings, and he said that there was no need to discuss this matter."

Li Yunhai said: "Do you know Wang An's phone number? I want to contact him."

The other party said: "Sorry, no comment. Goodbye."

After speaking, he hung up the phone conveniently.

Li Yunhai listened to the busy tone on the phone and put down the phone helplessly.It seems that this cooperation of the century can only be cancelled.

In a blink of an eye, the day came for the domestic dealer conference.

The Tianhua Hotel was all occupied by dealers from the Sihai Group, and even the Changdao Hotel was occupied by attendees.

This is the third dealer conference of Sihai Group. After several years of accumulation, it already has thousands of fixed dealers and attracts more investors every year.

Sihai Group has experience in holding dealer conferences, and all steps were taken step by step without any mistakes.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yunhai led his people to the large conference room of Tianhua Hotel.

Except for Lin Xiaofeng who was still in the United States, all the senior executives of Sihai Group were present.

Even Guo Wanhua, Zhu Lin and Gong Jie also attended this dealer conference in Xizhou.

This conference was personally hosted by Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai delivered a welcome speech on behalf of Sihai Group, and then held a new product launch conference.

Ink tank printer, debuted for the first time.

In order to let everyone see the products more intuitively, a projector was used on site.

Projectors of this period were mainly used to display static images.

A picture of a printer was displayed on the curtain behind Li Yunhai.

"Dear friends, an epoch-making printer product has been launched! The printer you see is named Sihai Ink Tank Printer!"

"The ink tank printer has an ink tank that supports ultra-large capacity, which can achieve ultra-high printing volume and ultra-low printing cost for a single set of consumables, and users can enjoy the original factory warranty service including the print head. Ink tank printer It provides users with an alternative to laser printers and inkjet printers. All of this is patented by our micro-piezoelectric printer, and only our Sihai Group can produce this kind of ink tank printer!"

Li Yunhai talked eloquently and explained the advantages of ink tank printers.

Without Li Yunhai, this type of ink tank printer would have had to wait until at least the 90s to appear.

And the first one that appeared was not the original ink tank, but the continuous supply that was spontaneously modified by the private sector and modified using the siphon principle.

Li Yunhai directly introduced the ink tank printer, achieving freedom of printing at least ten years in advance!
After listening to the introduction, the dealers' eyes lit up.

No matter who you are, you can see the huge business opportunities.

The emergence of ink tank printers will definitely change the landscape of the entire printer industry!

Especially those printing shops, large units, and enterprises with high demand for printing volume will definitely purchase ink tank printers.

Li Yunhai finally announced the price.

"This ink tank printer can have a normal printing capacity of almost 1000 sheets with one refill of ink. It is paired with our original four-color ink. The wholesale price is 1599 yuan per unit and the retail price is [-] yuan per unit!"

The whole place is boiling!
There is no doubt that this printer has become the most cost-effective printer in the world!
Subsequently, Li Yunhai released the Sihai Xerox copier.

This copier, like all copiers on the market, has all the functions, but there are no highlights worth explaining.

However, even if there are no bright spots, Li Yunhai has to find bright spots, otherwise how can he boast about himself?
Li Yunhai talked about a lot of advanced copier technology. Most of the dealers below were old and rough. They were good at doing business, but in terms of technology, they were complete novices. After listening to it for a long time, they didn’t understand it at all, but they just didn’t realize how serious it was.

What dealers are most concerned about is the price of the product.

After Li Yunhai finished explaining the technology, he finally talked about the price of the copier.

In fact, this copier is already on sale in stores in major cities. The retail price is: "23999 yuan! The wholesale price is 16000 yuan!"

Compared with Canon and other brands, the retail price of Sihai Xerox is nearly 4 yuan cheaper!
With such a price advantage and the Xerox brand, this product can compete with copiers from major foreign manufacturers.

Li Yunhai also has great hopes for this copier.

Computers, printers, and copiers, these three products are the long-term solution for Sihai Group.

Translators, learning machines, and typewriters are just special products of a certain period. They will be eliminated in a few years or ten years.

And office equipment will continue to sell like hotcakes.

Sihai Group will continue to conduct new research and development and updates on PC, printer, and copier technologies!

Li Yunhai also explained products such as Longteng PC, Alienware, fourth-generation typewriter, Sihai learning machine, and translator.

Because it is the first time for many dealers to participate in Sihai Group's dealer conference, it needs to be explained to them in detail.

After finishing speaking, the next step is to place orders.

Li Yunhai said impassionedly: "At the just past CES electronics show in Las Vegas, our Sihai Group, representing Chinese companies, participated in the exhibition for the first time and received a record of US$2.55 million! Foreign dealers are very optimistic about our products. , they spoke highly of it!”

The projector screen behind was changed to a different picture.

This is a newspaper from the United States, all in English, but with pictures. It is a report about alien computers from all over the world. The aliens’ eye-catching LOGO is very dazzling!
There was once again a lively discussion at the scene!

I have to say that in this era, there are always people who admire foreign countries, and some people think that the moon abroad is rounder.

Therefore, foreign newspapers reported on Sihai Computer, which had a great impact on these people.

Everyone discussed:
"Even foreigners say Sihai Computer is good! It must be good!"

"There are so many computer manufacturers abroad, and they still purchase Sihai Computers. What does this mean? It means that Sihai Group has also become international!"

"Sihai Computer is great!"

"We must purchase more Sihai computers this time!"

At this time, the slideshow changed again, and advertising pictures of MJ and Alien Computer appeared.

Li Yunhai said loudly: "Everyone, our alien computer has invited MJ to shoot an advertisement. This advertisement will be broadcast in major media around the world and will also appear on the pages of Time Magazine!"

The whole audience cheered!

Many people don't know who MJ is. After asking people around them, they realize that he is the most famous superstar in the world and the singer with the most fans in the world!

"Are you better than those singers in Xiangjiang?" someone asked.

"Who are the singers in Xiangjiang? MJ has hundreds of millions of fans around the world! He holds a concert and the appearance fee is tens of millions of dollars!"

"That's awesome! It's amazing that Sihai Group can hire this person to shoot an advertisement!"

"I heard that this ad cost nearly tens of millions! Dollars!"

"Oh my God! It costs so much money to hire a foreign singer to shoot an advertisement!"

"It seems that Sihai Group really wants to go abroad this time!"

"Is it true? Is this advertisement true?"

Yes, some people have questioned this.

Although PS technology is not yet popular in this era, even Journey to the West can be photographed. Isn’t it easy to make a fake poster?
Li Yunhai's next words answered their doubts:
"Everyone, in three days, we will hold a global dealer conference in Hong Kong. MJ will be here in person, and he will bring songs and dances that are popular around the world! If you have the documents to go to Hong Kong, you can go and watch. Our global dealers The conference is scheduled to be held at the Coliseum in Hong Kong! This is also the first time that our Sihai Group has held a global dealer conference, and it is an unprecedented event! In addition to inviting MJ, we have also invited many famous Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars!"

Do you suspect that Sihai Group is committing a fraud by inviting MJ to advertise?
Li Yunhai directly invited MJ to the dealer conference in Xiangjiang!
With this, everyone stopped doubting the Sihai Group.

There were many MJ fans present.

Li Yunhai's move indeed won word of mouth and praise.

"Everyone, on behalf of all my colleagues at Sihai Group, I would like to thank you for coming from afar to attend this dealer conference. Next, if you need to purchase our company's products, please come to the front desk to register. We have set up a There are consultation and registration points, you can contact them for any goods you want to purchase.”

The dealers on site all rushed to the front desk to register.

Seeing the heated scene in the audience, Li Yunhai smiled happily.

Shen Xiulan led the staff of the finance department, and together with the sales department staff, they worked in pairs and set up a total of fifteen tables to receive dealers, register the quantities they purchased, collect deposits, and sign contracts.

Li Yunhai walked off the stage.

Lin Zhi handed him a glass of water and said, "Yunhai, the scene this year is very exciting, better than last year."

Li Yunhai drank up the water in the glass in one breath, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "It's time for us to work hard! IBM sells more than 300 million computers a year, so we can sell 30 units a year!"

Guo Wanhua said: "Yunhai, I think the distribution model is still a bit messy. Why not develop an agency model? In each province and city, select a few qualified and powerful big agents, and they will open up the following markets for us!"

Li Yunhai muttered: "Sister Guo, what you said makes sense. Let's discuss it carefully tonight."

Guo Wanhua smiled knowingly, and when she saw Lin Zhi taking the cup to pour water, she asked in a low voice, "What is your relationship with that Zhu Lin? Answer me honestly."

"Ah? Me and Sister Zhu? Haha! What are you thinking about?"

"You can't hide from my sharp eyes! That night, I saw you going downstairs with her. She had a pink face and a charming face. It was obvious that she had been nourished by someone's rain and dew! Besides you, who else?" (End of Chapter)
