Life 1984

Chapter 381 Only Seeking Once Owned
Shen Xiulan opened the door and asked Lin Zhi to come in.

"Why are you here so late with your big belly?" Shen Xiulan stroked her hot cheek with her hand and looked at Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi came here with Ding Miao, who was carrying two bags in his hands.

"I heard that you are not in good health, how are you? This is a tonic to replenish blood and replenish qi. You should take some on time every day." Lin Zhi asked Ding Miao to put the gift bag on the coffee table.

Shen Xiulan said no, no, I am in good health, and then said thank you.

Lin Zhi chatted for a while and said, "Okay, it's too late, so I won't disturb your rest. Come and sit at my house when you have time."

Shen Xiulan said hello, sent them out, and asked deliberately: "Why didn't Yunhai come with you?"

Lin Zhi smiled and shook her head: "He is a busy man. He leaves early and comes home late. He doesn't know what time he will be back!"

Shen Xiulan forced a smile and watched them go downstairs and leave. It wasn't until they left the courtyard that she returned to the room and asked Li Yunhai to come out.

"You go home! Remember, don't lie, she can tell."

"It's already too late anyway, so there's no shortage of time."

"Your psychological quality is so strong! I was scared to death just now! If Lin Zhi finds out, we will never be human again."

"It's not that easy to find out. As long as we don't catch him in bed, we all have excuses."

"You speak lightly! As long as she becomes suspicious, she can sentence you to death at any time!"

Shen Xiulan indeed had no feeling of affection at all.

Li Yunhai had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Lin Zhi returned home and lay down, Li Yunhai came home.

"Are you very busy recently?" Lin Zhi smiled and said, "When you have time, go and see Xiulan. I went to see her today and she said she misses you!"

"Really?" Li Yunhai said calmly, "Let's go see her another day."

In a blink of an eye, it’s time for the Spring Canton Fair.

At the beginning of this Canton Fair, Sihai Group organized a professional Canton Fair team, all composed of highly educated professionals with good foreign languages.

Li Yunhai, Shen Xiulan, Professor Ni, Zhao Jinping, Lin Xiaofeng, David and others are all members of this Canton Fair team.

Anyone who is free will go there, and no one is allowed to take leave without any reason.

Sihai Group attaches great importance to foreign markets and has also made a lot of money relying on the international market.

Lianxiang Company in the north also attaches great importance to the international market, participating in overseas exhibitions and setting up a headquarters in Xiangjiang.

The development trajectories of Sihai and Lianxiang are similar.

Lian Xiang has always followed the steps of Sihai Group.

It's just that the two companies have taken different paths. Sihai has taken the path of trade, industry and trade, while Lianxiang has taken the path of trade, industry and technology.

Therefore, Sihai Group's product line is extremely rich, many of which are self-developed products and have gained greater market recognition.

This year, Lianxiang has not yet participated in the Canton Fair because they actually do not have any competitive products.If nothing else happens, they will have to wait until the mid-90s to have self-developed PC products before participating in the Canton Fair.

Sihai Group is the first domestic computer company to participate in the Canton Fair.

At this Canton Fair, Sihai Group grandly launched the Blue Ocean home computer, hitting the market with super high cost performance.

Whether the annual sales target of 100 million units set by Li Yunhai can be achieved depends on this year's two Canton Fairs.

Lin Xiaofeng and David have returned from Europe.

The European branch was formally established in London, and all members were recruited locally.

The role of overseas branches is to connect the headquarters and regions, develop local market share, and maintain local customer groups.

Zhao Jinping and others also returned from Africa.

The African region adopts an agent system, and the entire African market is handed over to these three agents to develop and sell.

As for whether to establish a branch, we will talk about it later.

Lin Xiaofeng's return to China this time also brought good news. They have received several more orders overseas and developed several dealers. The order amount is more than 1000 million US dollars.

The Spring Canton Fair is approaching.

Li Yunhai summoned all team members and held a short meeting to set the goals and requirements for this Canton Fair.

At the last Hannover Show, Li Yunhai set his goal too high, but reality slapped him hard in the face.

He set a goal of 15 to 20 Blue Ocean computers, but only sold more than 2 units.

This made him deeply realize that exhibitions are not a panacea, they are just one more opportunity to develop dealers.

Li Yunhai doesn't have high hopes for this Canton Fair. He only needs to sell 2 to [-] computers and get a total order amount of US$[-] million.

Professor Ni suddenly laughed.

Li Yunhai asked: "Professor Ni, do you have anything to say?"

Professor Ni adjusted his glasses and smiled: "I heard that many of the orders received by Lianxiang Company in Hannover were returned."

Everyone was surprised and asked: "Why was the order cancelled?"

Professor Ni said: "Why else? Because the product quality is not up to standard! Foreign businessmen are rich, but they are not stupid! The product is not easy to use after receiving it, and the motherboard cannot even light up. Do you think it would be canceled if it were you? ?”

Everyone laughed.

Li Yunhai said: "So I have repeatedly emphasized that product quality is the foundation of our company! If the quality is not good, no matter how many orders we get, we will not be able to eat them."

Professor Ni said: “In this regard, I very much admire Mr. Li’s foresight and refined management methods.”

Li Yunhai said: "We should not laugh at others or take pleasure in others' misfortunes. Instead, we should learn from their experiences and work harder to become stronger. If we don't work hard, today may be our tomorrow."

Professor Ni said: "Lianxiang Company could have almost gone global, equivalent to Sihai Group after two years. It's a pity that their defeat in Hannover this time has brought them a great negative impact."

Jiang Zhijun said: "I still remember that after they got the order in Hannover, they bragged domestically about how many motherboards they sold and how many computer orders they got. Now that it's like this, it shows that there is a lot of management inside their company. question."

Professor Ni said: "The biggest problem of their company is poor employment. Those in charge of technology are assigned to manage production! I know myself. I can never manage production. I can only do technical research."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, that's it for today's meeting. Do you have anything else to add? If not, we will set off tomorrow to Huacheng to compete in this year's Spring Canton Fair!"

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li, our X64 architecture chip is under development here. If nothing else happens, we will definitely succeed. Should we simultaneously research motherboards using X64 architecture chips?"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay! There are things about scientific research that I haven't thought of. Please pay more attention to Professor Ni."

He thought of something again and said, "Professor Ni, we can study graphics card technology."

Professor Ni said: "Graphics card? CGA? EGA? VGA?"

Li Yunhai said: "The latest graphics card now is VGA. We can skip VGA directly and study SVGA!"

Early computers used CRT monitors, and their images were processed by a chip integrated on the motherboard and output directly to the monitor.Although this method is simple and easy to use, it cannot meet users' needs for high-definition and high frame rate images.Thus, in the early 20s, the first discrete graphics card, the IBM CGA, was born.

Subsequently, EGA was launched in 1984 and VGA in 1987.

New technologies are steadily introduced every three years.

If nothing else, the fourth generation of graphics card technology will also be launched in 1990.

Li Yunhai plans to develop his own graphics card and launch an SVGA graphics card, which expands the functions that VGA can achieve, supports higher resolutions, reaching 1024 times 768, and also supports 24-bit color.And allows users to customize the screen refresh frequency.

He can only put forward ideas, and it is up to Professor Ni and his team to complete them.

After some thought, Professor Ni said: "Graphics chips are much easier than CPU chips. If we want to develop them ourselves, it won't be a big problem."

Li Yunhai said: "What we want to do is to be the best and the most powerful! With the development of technology and the emergence of large-scale games, computers will definitely have higher and higher requirements for graphics cards. This matter, Professor Ni, please keep this in mind. After we come back from the Canton Fair, the scientific research institute can start a research and development project and even set up a dedicated graphics card research team!"

Professor Ni said: "Okay!"

The next day, members of the Sihai Group Canton Fair delegation went to Huacheng together with the Xijiang provincial and municipal delegations.

For Canton Fair people, the Canton Fair held twice a year is an unshakable and compulsory course.

Every year for the Canton Fair, everyone is full of expectations, but also anxious.

Even though it received hundreds of millions of orders in the last session, Sihai Group still has no confidence in this session.

Lin Zhi will be absent from this Canton Fair because of her pregnancy.

Linzhi has not participated in any of the recent large-scale exhibitions.

All the way to the flower city.

Guo Wanhua has already arrived to live in Huacheng, and she has arranged for the exhibition to be completed by her own hands.

Of course Li Yunhai wants to live in Zhiyuan.

Because Lin Zhi was away, Shen Xiulan couldn't live in Zhiyuan alone, so she really became the biggest conspicuous person.

Li Yunhai and his secretary Su Hong moved into Zhiyuan. He invited Lin Xiaofeng to move in, but Lin Xiaofeng wanted to live with David, saying that it was more convenient to live in a hotel.

Although Su Hong was also a woman, because she was Li Yunhai's personal secretary, she usually had to help process documents, communicate affairs, and take care of Mr. Li's daily life, so no one made any comments.

Guo Wanhua is already arranging people to complete the exhibition installation work.

After Li Yunhai and the others arrived, they walked around the exhibition hall and were deeply satisfied when they saw that the booths were well arranged.Li Yunhai arranged for Gong Jie to attend this Canton Fair.

Chen Hong and her friends followed Gong Jie.

When Gong Jie and the others arrived, they discovered that Guo Wanhua had not made any plans for them in advance and had not booked a hotel room for them.

Li Yunhai had no choice but to invite the four of them to live in Zhiyuan.

When Chen Hong and others entered Zhiyuan, they all gasped in admiration when they saw such a beautiful villa. They walked around inside and out. When they heard that the house was worth several million, they were in awe. The envy is even stronger.

Gong Jie has bought a house in Shanghai and said that she would invite Li Yunhai to be a guest, but Li Yunhai never had time.

She smiled softly and said: "Mr. Li, I have never had sex. I'm waiting for you to be free one day. When you come to Shanghai, I will have sex again!"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "Why do you have to wait for me?"

Gong Jie said: "Because only you have the big red envelope!"

After hearing this, Chen Hong and others giggled together.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Okay, after the Canton Fair, I will make a special trip to Shanghai to meet you."

Gong Jie smiled and said yes.

In the evening, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua hosted a banquet for all team members to have dinner at Panxi Restaurant.

Halfway through eating, Li Yunhai got up and went to the bathroom.

As soon as he walked out of the box door, he saw a pretty figure.

The woman also recognized him and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Li, we meet again!"

"Who are you?" Li Yunhai tapped his forehead, unable to remember the woman's name for a moment.

"Mr. Li, my name is Chi Rou. We met in Beijin. How about I dance with you?"

"Oh, yes! Chirou, a pool of tenderness and a touch of fragrance! What a beautiful name."

"Mr. Li complimented me. Mr. Li, which hotel are you staying in?"

"I have a house here, not a hotel."

"So where do you live? Can I visit you?"

"Oh, of course."

Li Yunhai told her the address of his villa, and then said: "I am at the Canton Fair during the day, and I may have social events in the evening. I am usually not at home. Before you come, you'd better contact me."

Chirou said okay.

Li Yunhai came back from the bathroom and continued eating and drinking with everyone.

After dinner, everyone suggested that we go outside and play, right?See the prosperity of the colorful world.

Naturally, Li Yunhai couldn't dampen everyone's interest, so they went to Beijin Road together and found a music cafe to listen to music.

The music cafes in Huacheng are not much different from those in the mainland.

The biggest difference is the songs.The songs sung here are more Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, and they dare to sing anything hot, while the dance halls in Xizhou are relatively more conservative.

When the audience came on stage to sing, Li Yunhai asked with a smile: "Which of you can sing?"

Everyone encouraged Gong Jie to come on stage.

Gong Jie pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I won't show off my shame."

Chen Hong said: "Let me sing!"

After speaking, she raised her hand gracefully.

The host was very happy when he saw that she was a beautiful woman. He invited her to the stage and said, "Miss, I think you look familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

Chen Hong smiled and said: "I probably saw it on TV! I'm an actor."

When the host heard this, he suddenly realized and asked: "Which film and television dramas have you acted in?"

Chen Hong said: "I have acted in the chain in Liaozhai."

Chen Hong was not very famous this year, so it was normal not to recognize her.

The host didn't seem to have watched Liao Zhai, but he stopped answering the question and asked Chen Hong what song he sang?
Chen Hong said: "Pingju."

The host said: "Okay, this is a popular song in Taiwan. When it was released last year, it became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait! Miss Chen Hong singing this song here has extraordinary significance. She is looking forward to the reunion of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait! Excuse me Do you sing alone or with a partner?”

Chen Hong said: "I will sing alone!"

Music sounded.

Chen Hong held the microphone and said: "This song is for all the friends here who meet by chance!"

"No matter how it ends in the future, at least we have been together before. There is no need to bother to restrain each other, and there is no need for verbal commitments. As long as we have had it before, it is enough for you and me."

This was the first time Shen Xiulan heard this song, and she was immediately shocked by the bold and passionate lyrics!

Historically, the relationship between people has emphasized that the purpose of love is to get married. All love that is not for the purpose of marriage is prostitution.

But now, the song sings a completely different emotion.

Just ask for what you have once, don’t ask for eternity!
What kind of person can write such lyrics?
Shen Xiulan was stunned and turned to look at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai happened to look at her as well.

The two eyes met.

Li Yunhai blinked at her and whispered, "I'll go find you tonight."

Shen Xiulan hummed, fearing that others would notice, so she quickly sat upright without squinting.

In the late 80s, the deepening of reform and opening up not only changed our economic life, but also changed our emotional life.

The divorce rate probably started to spike around this time, right?
Men and women are no longer willing to be locked in an unhappy marriage and boldly break the shackles to find new happiness.As for whether you can still be happy after divorce, who knows?

Everyone played until ten o'clock in the evening before leaving.

Li Yunhai came to the Oriental Hotel where they were staying on the pretext of talking to Professor Ni about work.

Shen Xiulan is the vice president of the group, so of course she has her own private room.

Li Yunhai talked with Professor Ni about the development direction of graphics cards and did not leave his room until eleven o'clock.

He walked to Shen Xiulan's door and knocked gently.

Shen Xiulan opened the door.

Li Yunhai smiled slightly and ducked in.

Shen Xiulan took a bath, and her body exuded a refreshing fragrance.

They were almost broken up by Lin Zhi last time, so Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan didn't have any contact with each other for a few days.

Now that they have arrived in Huacheng, the two of them can't wait to have a good time.

Shen Xiulan, who was originally despairing, was shocked again after hearing the song "Pingju".

"Yunhai, between you and me, I don't ask for eternity, I just ask for now. There are many memories in a person's life, I just hope that you have me in your memories!"

"Xiulan!" Li Yunhai kissed her, inseparably.

Shen Xiulan was completely lost!

It was past twelve o'clock when Li Yunhai returned to Zhiyuan.

As soon as he opened the door, Gong Jie woke up.

Gong Jie went downstairs to take a look and smiled: "Did you just come back? Or are you going out?"

Li Yunhai said: "I just came back. Did I wake you up?"

Gong Jie said: "It's okay, I just got up and went to the bathroom. How long until Linzhi's due date?"

Li Yunhai said: "There are still more than two months."

The two chatted for a while, then went upstairs to rest.

The next day, Li Yunhai and others came to the Canton Fair exhibition hall to start the first day of exhibition activities.

There were many elites coming this time, so Li Yunhai didn't have to stick to the exhibition hall.

After the launch, he walked around to see if there was anything good or if there were any peers participating in the exhibition.

Not surprisingly, none of the domestic computer manufacturers came to participate in the exhibition, and Sihai Group was the only one.

However, there are many domestic joint venture copiers and printers participating in the exhibition, and the competition is very stressful.

Li Yunhai was walking around when he saw the loud noise in front of him and many people surrounding him. He didn't know what big thing happened.

He was also curious and stepped forward to watch.
