Life 1984

Chapter 398 Throw them out!

Manager Huang looked at Li Yunhai and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly, pointed to the service desk next to him, and said, "Manager Huang, I saw that there is an open space next to your service desk. Can you rent it to us?"

Manager Huang looked at the surrounding area and said with a smile: "Isn't the area here a bit small? There must be a way out in the middle."

Li Yunhai didn't mind at all and said: "It's a little small, but it has its own tricks. The most important thing is that we can move in immediately."

Manager Huang was silent.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Li Yunhai said: "The area here is small, but the rent I will give you is still [-] yuan per year! One cent is a lot."

Manager Huang's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Manager Huang, I am the boss of Sihai Group. Can anything I say be false?"

Manager Huang laughed and said: "Okay! Deal! Mr. Li is indeed a generous person!"

Gong Jie whispered: "Mr. Li, this place is really a bit small. It's only over 20 square meters. Isn't 3.8 too expensive?"

Li Yunhai waved his hand gently, indicating that she should not discuss this matter yet.

Manager Huang made the final decision. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, he asked Li Yunhai and the others to go to the office immediately and sign the contract.

Li Yunhai paid one year's rent.

The contract comes into effect tomorrow.

Manager Huang ordered people to move the service desk to another corner.

Shen Xiulan and Gong Jie both felt that this area was a bit small and asked Li Yunhai what he could do in such a small place.

After Li Yunhai got the contract, he had no inhibitions. He led them to the door and said while gesticulating: "You guys, don't think this place is small, but it is the highlight of the entire shopping mall. We made a row of cabinets next to the wall. Directly flush with the ceiling, most of our products can be placed on this cabinet. Large items such as computers and copiers are placed on both sides. This way, the middle is full of space for activities, and it does not take up any space. place."

Gong Jie understood and said, "This arrangement is okay, but the rent we pay is a bit high."

Li Yunhai said: "As long as you can make money, what does this little rent mean?"

Shibai is the largest department store in Shanghai. Being able to win such a good counter is considered a victory in the first battle.

At noon, Li Yunhai and the others invited Manager Huang to have a meal.

This meal is not in vain.

After Li Yunhai toasted Manager Huang with a few glasses of wine, he asked him to introduce him to managers of other department stores in the city.

They all hang out in the same circle, these managers are all connected, and they even get together frequently.

Li Yunhai thought about it and wanted to take advantage of Manager Huang's network, and said: "Manager Huang, since you know so many department store managers, please contact them and ask them to arrange a counter facing the street for us. Every time the introduction is successful, one , I will give you 1000 yuan as hard work fee."

Manager Huang was really moved and asked: "Mr. Li, do you need so many counters?"

Li Yunhai picked up the wine glass, toasted him with another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Yes! Shanghai has a population of more than 1000 million, and they are all working class, which means there are more rich people. If we build more counters, it will definitely be better. It will increase product sales.”

Manager Huang patted his chest and said: "This is easy. I don't dare to vouch for other stores, but as long as it is a store of our company, I will definitely be able to convince them!"

Li Yunhai spent a little money, but saved a lot of trouble and time.

The situation of other department stores is generally similar to that of Shibai. If you want a good street frontage or a good counter, you can only snatch it from others.

Instead of negotiating each one yourself, it is better to hire someone to do it for you.

After the meal, Manager Huang asked Gong Jie if they could take a photo together.

Gong Jie generously said yes.

Li Yunhai brought a Polaroid and took a photo of them on the spot.

Manager Huang was so happy that he said goodbye and left.

Li Yunhai handed over the workload that originally took several days to completion to Manager Huang. They just had to wait for the news.

Gong Jie suddenly thought of something and said, "If we open so many direct sales counters in the city, will it affect the performance of local dealers?"

There will definitely be an impact.

However, this is not a problem for Li Yunhai. His idea is very simple: "The function of our store is not just sales, but also after-sales work, customer service, maintenance, etc. Therefore, these counters must be unified The decoration is the same, and the name is Sihai Sales and Service Center!"

Gong Jie suddenly realized: "This is a great idea!"

The sales and service center provides both sales and services.

This is also a good thing for dealers. After-sales service is the most important task for the products they sell. If a brand’s after-sales service can be found everywhere, wouldn’t it be more convenient for consumers?It also gives dealers more confidence to sell these products.

When one day Sihai sales and service centers open in department stores in various cities, the company's reputation will naturally improve.

Manufacturer-operated sales and service centers can also gain more trust from consumers, who are more willing to come here to purchase and consume.

These sales and service centers do not necessarily need to be equipped with professional maintenance technicians. After receiving the maintenance order, they can be sent to the centralized maintenance point in the city for maintenance.

Another advantage of Li Yunhai's doing this is that the sales channel does not completely rely on dealers in various places, so he is not afraid of dealers' betrayal.

The next morning, Manager Huang brought good news. He had negotiated the intention to enter five other department stores!

Li Yunhai only spent 5000 yuan in remuneration to successfully win so many department store counters!

That afternoon, Li Yunhai and Gong Jie signed admission contracts with the managers of these department stores.

Li Yunhai got tickets to six department stores in SH City, and the sales here are getting wider and wider.

These counters will be ready for business in one month.

The follow-up work will be left to Gong Jie and the people in the branch.

Gong Jie got busy, looking for decoration companies, discussing decoration methods, and recruiting employees for training.

Li Yunhai took Shen Xiulan to visit major attractions in Shanghai.

This morning, the two of them were playing in Yu Garden, and Li Yunhai's pager kept ringing.

He found a nearby public phone and called back.

Gong Jie said on the other end of the phone: "Yunhai, the Chinese representatives of Epson have come to our branch. They heard that you are in Shanghai and must see you."

Li Yunhai was too lazy to go see him and said, "They are colleagues! They are enemies! There is nothing to talk about!"

Gong Jie said: "Yunhai, do you know who this Zheng Wei from Epson is?"

Li Yunhai said disdainfully: "How do I know who he is? Whoever he is, just blast him out."

Gong Jie said: "We met him once. Do you still remember what happened at Jinjiang Hotel? A man struck up a conversation with me. That man was Zheng Wei."

Li Yunhai sneered and said: "Oh! I just said that this guy has bad character. He turned out to be someone who hung out with the Japanese! There is no need to talk about that!"

Gong Jie said: "Mr. Li, you'd better come over here! They said there is something important and they must negotiate with you face to face. They also brought a lawyer."

Li Yunhai's eyes flashed and he said, "Okay, I'll come over and meet them right now!"

While he was on the phone, his eyes never left Shen Xiulan.

Shen Xiulan was in front of a candy blower's stall over there.

After making the call, Li Yunhai came over and asked, "Want to eat candy?"

Shen Xiulan patted her belly gently and smiled sweetly: "It's not me who wants to eat, it's the baby who wants to eat."

Li Yunhai chuckled and said, "Then make one. What animal do you want?"

Shen Xiulan pointed to the sample products on the shelf and said, "I like this horse."

Li Yunhai asked the stall owner how much the horse cost.

The stall owner said the horse was bigger and cost 3 yuan.

Li Yunhai took out the money and asked the stall owner to make a horse.

When the candy player was playing, the stall owner handed the candy bar to Shen Xiulan.

Shen Xiulan puffed out her cheeks and blew a few breaths, and the horse's body swelled up.

The stall owner quickly pinched it a few times, and a candy horse was formed. He strung the candy horse up with a wooden stick and handed it to Shen Xiulan.

"It looks so big, but it's actually just a little bit of sugar." Shen Xiulan held up the candy horse and shook her head gently, "I think the bit of sugar in the pot can be sold for at least a month!" Li Yunhai said: "For business, of course. It’s money-making. Eat it quickly and be careful not to drop it. This candy will become brittle when it’s cold.”

Shen Xiulan snorted and handed it to Li Yunhai: "Take a bite first."

Li Yunhai carefully bit off the horse's tail, which was very crunchy.

Shen Xiulan then ate one of the horse's legs, and then handed it to Li Yunhai: "You eat the horse's head."

Li Yunhai bit the horse's head, but the horse's body was too thin and brittle, and it fell apart with a crash and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" Shen Xiulan chuckled, holding up the wooden stick and said, "That's just a little candy!"

Li Yunhai also laughed to himself and said, "I'll buy another one."

Shen Xiulan held his hand: "Forget it, don't buy it. It cost three yuan and we each had a bite, which is good!"

Li Yunhai took her to the branch.

When the front desk of the branch saw Li Yunhai coming, he respectfully shouted: "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said, "I'm looking for Manager Gong."

The receptionist walked out from behind the desk, led the way, and led Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan to Gong Jie's office. He opened the door and said, "Mr. Li, Manager Gong has ordered you to come in directly."

Li Yunhai said to Shen Xiulan: "Xiulan, you go to the front desk and take a rest. I'll go in and do something."

Shen Xiulan said good and stayed at the front desk.

Li Yunhai walked into the office with calm steps.

Gong Jie was sitting behind the desk, the flat-headed guy named Zheng Wei was sitting on the chair opposite, and two men were sitting on the sofa to one side.

"Mr. Li is here!" Gong Jie stood up.

Li Yunhai nodded, his sharp eyes sweeping across Zheng Wei.

He quickly sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs.

Gong Jie came over and saw Li Yunhai taking out a cigarette, so he picked up a box of matches on the coffee table and helped him light the cigarette.

Zheng Wei was stunned for a moment!
He knew very well what kind of person Gong Jie was.

This is the goddess in the hearts of countless people!

Gong Jie's attitude towards them just now had always been cold and indifferent, ignoring them.

In front of Li Yunhai, Gong Jie was willing to lean down and help him light the fire!

The difference in treatment was really big, which made them angry.

Gong Jie stood next to Li Yunhai and said, "Mr. Li, this is Epson's Chinese representative Zheng Wei."

Li Yunhai slowly blew out a smoke ring and asked, "I heard you want to see me? What's the matter?"

Zheng Wei felt an inexplicable and huge pressure. The man in front of him didn't look very old, but he was extremely experienced in speaking and acting, and he had the aura of a superior!

"You are Mr. Li of Sihai Group, right?" Zheng Wei calmed down his arrogance and said, "I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of Epson."

The staff came in with a cup of tea. Gong Jie took it and placed it next to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai took two puffs of his cigarette contentedly and said: "There is no cooperation between our two families. There has been no cooperation before, and there will never be any in the future. I wonder what you and I want to talk about?"

Zheng Wei twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't know if he was laughing or if he had a convulsion in his mouth.
"Ahem, Mr. Li, I heard that your company has a micro-piezoelectric printer?"

"Where did you hear it? Who said it?"

"This? We've seen reports."

"That's not hearsay, but real scientific research results!"

Although they only exchanged a few words, several moves had already been made between the two.

Zheng Wei did not dare to underestimate this young man anymore and said seriously: "Mr. Li, to be honest, we are here to acquire your micro piezoelectric printer and ink tank printer technology."

The corners of Li Yunhai's eyes were slightly raised, looking very cold and disdainful: "Acquisition? Why?"

Zheng Wei looked at the arrogant and unruly Li Yunhai, couldn't help but choked, and said: "Mr. Li, my self-introduction just now made it very clear. I am negotiating on behalf of Toyo Epson Company."

Li Yunhai said: "Epson? Never heard of it!"

Zheng Wei almost went crazy!

You are a businessman who makes office equipment, but you have never heard of the famous Epson?Who would believe it?

Zheng Wei had no choice but to introduce the company Epson in detail.

Li Yunhai waved his hands and said: "I don't want to hear this. What kind of company Epson is has nothing to do with me."

Zheng Wei said patiently: "Mr. Li, our company has enough funds and strength to acquire your printer business. Please give us a price! We can afford it."

Li Yunhai couldn't help laughing: "A few years ago, a few Japanese people came up to me and made arrogant promises, saying they wanted to buy out my CCA technology. They also asked me to set a price like you did! But I opened After the price was determined, they ran faster than rabbits! If I remember correctly, one of them is the president of Oriental Chemical Company and the other is the president of Baotugu Club."

Gong Jie heard what she said was funny, covered her mouth and laughed.

Gu Wei's expression changed, and he realized that Li Yunhai was far from being as easy to deal with as he thought.

Li Yunhai flicked the cigarette ashes: "Do you want to know how I set the price? I said 21000 tons of gold, because this is the amount of gold that the Japanese stole from our country."

Gu Wei's face turned the color of pig liver.

Li Yunhai snorted contemptuously: "Mr. Gu, are you Chinese too? Do you think the price I offer is reasonable?"

Gu Wei couldn't answer this question.

He currently represents Dongyang Enterprises. If it is reasonable, then subsequent negotiations will be unsuccessful. If it is unreasonable, he will be called a traitor and a lackey.

Gu Wei's face turned gloomy and clear, changing several colors in an instant.

Li Yunhai asked calmly: "Mr. Gu, do you want to talk between us?"

A fat man sitting on the other side of the sofa suddenly said: "Mr. Li, don't be arrogant!"

This man's Chinese was very stiff.

Li Yunhai glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, "Are you the Japanese representative?"

The fat man chuckled: "I am from Japan! Mr. Li, our company has been studying micro-piezoelectric technology! We have been studying this technology for many years! We suspect that your technology was leaked by our company! What you are plagiarizing is our technology!”

Li Yunhai laughed loudly and said: "Nowadays, when Japanese people come to our country to rob things, don't they even need to bring guns?"

The fleshy face of the fat man squeezed his two small eyes into two slits. He said without a smile: "Mr. Li, we are now willing to pay to buy back the technology that originally belonged to us. This is our kindness! Don’t be ungrateful!”

Li Yunhai looked sharply: "It's my kindness that I can sit here and say these words to you! Our way of hospitality is that when friends come, there is good wine, and when the wolf comes, there is a stick!"

The fat man was not offended by Li Yunhai's words. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Li, I am now offering 2 million yuan to buy your company's printing business. This is your best opportunity and your last chance!"

Li Yunhai waved his hand: "I don't need such an opportunity, you should keep it for yourself! If you have nothing else to do, please leave, I don't want to waste any more time."

Zheng Wei said: "Mr. Kudo, we have agreed that Mr. Li and I will negotiate. Please listen to me first, okay? We can't reach an agreement like this!"

The fat man was Kudo. He made a gesture towards Zheng Wei to stop talking, and then said to Li Yunhai: "Mr. Li, we have enough evidence to prove that before you launched the micropiezoelectric printer, our company had relevant The research has produced certain results!”

Li Yunhai suddenly smiled and said: "I also have enough evidence to prove that before the birth of the Dongyang people, the four islands in the East were originally our territory! And I can also prove that the Dongyang people are all descendants of Xu Fu during the Qin Dynasty of our country."

Kudo was stunned, and finally became angry and said: "Mr. Li, what we are talking about is a very serious fact!"

Li Yunhai picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said disapprovingly: "Kudo, I don't have time to waste saliva with you here. The patented technology of the micro-piezoelectric printer was successfully developed by our Sihai Research Institute and registered as a global patent. You want to plagiarize or seize our technology, but it’s impossible to succeed! If you don’t leave, I’m going to call someone to drive you away!”

He ordered Gong Jie: "Go and call Zhuang Yong and the others to come in."

Gong Jie agreed and walked out.

Kudo said angrily: "Mr. Li, we can sue you at the International Court of Justice!"

Li Yunhai shrugged: "Welcome! But you must leave now, otherwise my bodyguards will come over and throw you out instead of asking you out! You must have experienced their power last time at Jinjiang Hotel!"

Kudo was not frightened. He picked up a briefcase beside him, took out a stack of materials, put it on the coffee table, and said, "Mr. Li, this is our evidence! You can take a look! We had it before 1986, Huge funds have been invested in researching micropiezoelectric technology!”

Li Yunhai ignored them and said to Zhuang Yong who walked in: "Throw them out!"
