Life 1984

Li Yunhai led his men and strode over.

Sitting in the car, Shi Wenyin saw the scene in front of her factory and did not dare to get out of the car.

The group of people discovered Shi Wenyin's car, but they didn't know whose it belonged to, and they didn't come to block it.

Li Yunhai came to Shi Wenyin's car and knocked on the window.

Shi Wenyin turned around and saw Li Yunhai, and quickly opened the door.

Li Yunhai held the car door and asked, "Sister Shi, what's going on?"

Shi Wenyin said anxiously: "I don't know either! When we built a factory here, we have always abided by laws and regulations. You know that we have never offended anyone."

Li Yunhai muttered: "Don't worry, I'll go over and ask about the situation."

Shi Wenyin was at a loss, so she naturally obeyed him, got out of the car, and followed him.

The group of people stood guard in front of the factory gate and knocked on the big iron gate with sticks.

The door to the reception room next to it was closed, and the two security guards inside didn't dare to come out, let alone open the door.

At this moment, the factory has completed the shift handover work, and the workers on the day shift are working normally.

Li Yunhai walked up to the group of people and asked calmly: "What are you doing here?"

The group suddenly turned around and looked at Li Yunhai. A man with a crew cut asked: "Who are you? What does it have to do with you here?"

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "My name is Li Yunhai, and I am the boss of Sihai Group! My factory is right next to it."

The crew-cut man shook his head: "I don't know you! We are looking for the director of Shi's PCB substrate factory! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Sihai Group is somewhat famous in Xizhou, but it is only in a small circle. In this era, there is no self-media, and no one pays attention to other people's lives. There are many people who don’t watch news or TV, so it’s normal if they haven’t heard of Li Yunhai.

There were so many large companies in Xizhou in later generations, including seven companies worth hundreds of billions, which contributed nearly 4% of the province's tax revenue. In addition, the Internet was so developed that Li Yunhai, as a businessman, could not name a few. Come by the name of the owner of a local business.

Li Yunhai pointed at the PCB substrate factory and said: "Our company cooperates with their factory, and their goods are shipped to our factory. You have blocked the door. How can this car get in and out? Besides, what you are doing is an illegal gathering to cause trouble. If someone calls the police to arrest you, you will go to jail for several years!"

These words frightened the gang, and they all put away their sticks and stopped knocking on the iron door.

The crew-cut man said angrily: "They dare to sue us? We still want to sue them! I don't believe it. Isn't there a reasonable place in the world?"

Li Yunhai glanced at Shi Wenyin and saw her confused look, so he asked: "Comrade, what is the matter with you? Why do you need to take such extreme measures?"

The flat-headed man snorted coldly and said: "We all worked in this factory before, but we were fired by them for no reason! Last month's wages were not settled! This month's wages were not settled either! We worked hard for more than a month Why don’t they pay us for our work?”

Others shouted: "Yes, why don't you give us wages?"

Li Yunhai asked Shi Wenyin in a low voice: "Sister Shi, is this true?"

Shi Wenyin shook his head: "I don't know about this."

Li Yunhai said: "Sister Shi, if this is true, then there is something wrong with the management of your factory. How could you not know about such a big thing?"

Shi Wenyin frowned.

Li Yunhai said: "Let's go to the factory and ask about this matter. If it's true, then you'd better pay them back their wages as soon as possible! It's not easy for workers to make some money. Besides, it's not much money. !——You won’t be able to even pay this salary, right?”

Shi Wenyin said: "Impossible! Everything in our company is operating normally."

Li Yunhai and Shi Wenyin came to the guard room and asked the security guard to open the small door.

When the security guard saw Mr. Shi there, he carefully opened the door.

As soon as the crew-cut man and others saw the door open, they all rushed forward, trying to squeeze in through the small door.

But Zhuang Yong and others blocked the door like an iron tower.

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I will help you go in and ask about the situation. Please be patient."

Suddenly someone recognized Shi Wenyin: "That woman, is she the manager of the substrate factory? She is the boss of Taiwan!"

These people are all grassroots employees in the substrate factory. The chance of seeing Shi Wenyin is very low. Some people may have seen him from a distance occasionally, but they dare not confirm it.

At this time, the door has been closed.

Li Yunhai and Shi Wenyin came to the company's office building.

This substrate factory only has a total of more than [-] employees, and there are only more than [-] clerks in the office building.

Companies and factories in Hong Kong and Taiwan are all about efficiency and will not set up idle jobs, let alone support idle people. What can be done by one person will never be done by hiring two people.

After Shi Wenyin came to the office, she asked Li Yunhai to sit down, and then called in the director in charge of human resources and finance.

"There are people outside asking for wages, what's going on?" Shi Wenyin asked in a deep voice.

"Mr. Shi, they are making trouble unreasonably, don't pay attention to them." the HR director replied.

"Tell me, were they employees of our company before? Why were they fired? Were they owed wages?"

"Mr. Shi, it's like this. They used to be our company's workshop employees, but because of a mistake, our day's work was in vain, and the loss was as high as more than 50! We did not seek compensation from them, we only fired them , which is already very merciful! Why do they have the nerve to ask for wages?"

"Oh! So this is what caused it!" Shi Wenyin knocked on her temple, obviously remembering this.

The HR director said: "Mr. Shi, we have reported this to you before."

Shi Wenyin said: "But you didn't say that you didn't settle their wages!"

The finance director said: "Mr. Shi, they were fired because they made a mistake, and they owe us more than 50 yuan! We know they can't afford the compensation, so we didn't sue. As for their wages, they will definitely not be paid."

Shi Wenyin looked at Li Yunhai: "Mr. Li, tell me how should I handle this matter better?"

Li Yunhai said: "Sister Shi, they are at fault. They should be fired, but the wages that should be settled should be paid to them! There is not much money, so there is no need to settle this grudge."

The HR director said: "Why should we settle wages for them? If they want to make trouble, just let them make trouble. They don't dare to come in anyway. Once we call the police, they will be dead!"

Shi Wenyin said: "Okay, no need to say more, let's settle their wages! You go to the door together, comfort them with kind words, and don't arouse their hostility. Don't lose a penny of their due wages." "

Both the HR and Finance Directors felt that this was an injustice and there was no need to settle wages. However, Shi Wenyin insisted so much that they had no other choice but to go and carry out the process.

Shi Wenyin put her hands on her head and said, "Yunhai, you are laughing. It seems that there is really a problem with the management of our company."

Li Yunhai asked: "Are all your main management personnel hired from Taiwan?"

Shi Wenyin said: "Yes, firstly, they understand technology, and secondly, they are from Taiwan, and I trust them."

Li Yunhai said: "Then I suggest you replace these managers! No matter where you are in charge of the people, they dare to hide such a big thing and not report it. Maybe there are many other things that you don't know about." Yes. They bully you because you are a female and you are too busy at work to take care of such a big factory, so they hide it from you. If this continues, there will be big problems in the factory."

Shi Wenyin said: "Yunhai, this is my first time running a factory and I am not capable enough. Please teach me more."

Li Yunhai said: "That's easy to say. You should handle this matter first. Sister Shi, I still have guests over there. I'll go over to entertain them. Let's get together again when we have time."

Shi Wenyin stood up and sent him away.

When Li Yunhai came out, he saw that the people surrounding the factory gate had dispersed.

For a salary of several thousand dollars, someone almost died!
  Li Yunhai thought to himself, maybe what they did is not wrong. From a capital perspective, there is nothing wrong with them not settling wages. A few thousand dollars is money!
  He came to his factory and found Linzhi and the others.

For people who do not understand the world's computer landscape and market conditions, they cannot understand the significance of Sihai Group's independent production of chips, motherboards, memory and other accessories.

The guests of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, listening to the staff of Sihai Group introducing these products, thought that this was normal, just like TV manufacturers producing spare parts.

Unless they can hear a sentence: How many factories in the world can produce this thing. Or: the only domestic manufacturer. When they heard similar words, they let out an ooh, and then exclaimed: "It's amazing."

This is a bit like playing the piano to a cow.

However, everyone still visited several factories of Sihai Group with great interest, and had dinner in the factory canteen at noon. Everyone drank too much last night and didn’t drink again at noon.

Chairman Rong is a well-informed person. He can see that Sihai Group's products have high technological content and the factory management is also well-organized, which is better than that of ordinary companies.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Yunhai took everyone to the Sihai Research Institute and met with Professor Ni and others.

Until this moment, people from the Federation of Industry and Commerce let out bursts of exclamations!
  Except for Sihai Group, no company can maintain a scientific research team of more than 300 people! Moreover, the salary and bonus of this team are still in line with those of foreign-funded enterprises!
  Everyone is an entrepreneur and knows how to calculate expenses. They casually calculated for Li Yunhai that to support such a large scientific research team, the annual expenditure would be calculated in units of hundreds of millions.

For people at the time, this was an astronomical figure.

The vast majority of companies cannot even make [-] million a year!
  Li Yunhai invests hundreds of millions in scientific research every year!
  With this alone, Li Yunhai killed all domestic companies in an instant.

Even President Rong was amazed by this, praising Li Yunhai as a person who really puts his heart into running a business.

Many things in the scientific research institute are confidential. Although the guests do not understand these, they cannot leak them.

Therefore, the inspection at the scientific research institute was just a quick glance.

Li Yunhai and others did not make an in-depth introduction.

The inspection team came to the Sihai Center Building under construction by Sihai Group.

The main body of the building is almost completed and will enter the renovation phase next year.

Four tall buildings rise from the ground and stand in the center of Xizhou City, becoming the most conspicuous landmark buildings.

Li Yunhai introduced to everyone that by 1990, the Sihai Center Building will be delivered for use, and the company headquarters and scientific research institute will be moved here.

The inspection team finally arrived at the second floor of the Changdao Hotel, where the headquarters of Sihai Group is located.

There is nothing interesting to see in the headquarters, so a walk around here will end the trip.

In the evening, Li Yunhai invited everyone to have dinner at Tianhua Hotel and presented everyone with an electronic translator as a souvenir of the trip.

Li Yunhai said at the banquet that Xizhou is a beautiful ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River. It has Lushan Academy, one of the four major academies in the south of the Yangtze River. Yuezhou is not far away, and there is the Yuezhou Tower, one of the four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. . If you are interested, you can take the time to travel. However, our company will no longer organize travel activities.

President Rong counted the number of people who wanted to travel on the spot. Almost everyone raised their hands. It seemed that everyone did not want this trip to Xizhou to end so soon.

Li Yunhai discussed with President Rong that he could contact the local travel agency and the travel agency would lead everyone on the next journey.

Chairman Rong agreed and expressed his sincere gratitude to Li Yunhai for his warm hospitality on behalf of the Federation of Industry and Commerce.

"Mr. Li, I sincerely hope that we can cooperate if we have the opportunity." President Rong said.

Li Yunhai is of course willing to cooperate with President Rong.

Not surprisingly, Chairman Rong’s CITIC will grow into a large company worth RMB 10 trillion, and will rank among the top 500 of the world’s top 100 companies.

This is an enterprise group engaged in comprehensive businesses such as production, technology, finance, trade, and services.

In 1987, CITIC spent 20 billion to acquire 12.5% ​​of the shares of Hong Kong Cathay Pacific, becoming the third largest shareholder.

Chairman Rong mentioned to Li Yunhai that they wanted to spend more than 100 billion to acquire 20% of Xiangjiang Telecom's shares and were planning to do so. He asked Li Yunhai if he was interested?

Li Yunhai gave a wry smile and said, "You guys are always making acquisitions worth billions or tens of billions. How can I have the money to play with you?"

Chairman Rong said that Mr. Li, you are too modest. The total market value of Xiangjiang Sihai Group in Hong Kong has reached more than 300 billion, so you should not say that you have no money.

Li Yunhai explained to President Xiang Rong the setbacks he had suffered in the past six months.

Only then did President Rong realize that a foreign company could strangle Sihai Group's most profitable computer industry with just a stranglehold on you!
  Li Yunhai said, if we had not suffered such a big blow, then I do have some money now, and I could still spend several billion to invest in Xiangjiang Telecom with you. Now my money is enough for me to maintain the normal operation of the business. The funds raised in the Xiangjiang stock market this time will also be invested in the development and construction of the company, and there will be no leftover money for other large-scale investments.

President Rong said with great regret that we would seek cooperation in the future.

The reception for the Federation of Industry and Commerce delegation finally came to an end.

1988 is coming to an end, and Li Yunhai has no time to miss it, so he devotes himself to the CES electronics show to be held in January.

Over the past year, Li Yunhai has not participated in many exhibitions held in various places.

Firstly, the company does not have any new products to offer, and secondly, the company has a strong team.

But this time at the CES electronics show in Las Vegas, Li Yunhai decided to compete in person.

Not only that, he also wants to take his wife with him and take a trip to the United States.

The CES show only lasts for four days. After staying in the casino for a few days, they will set off to travel to other states.

Everything is well planned, but the plans always fail to keep up with the changes.

Lin Zhenbang officially received the news that he will go to the capital to take up a post after the year.

Not surprisingly, both Lin Zhenbang and Tang Yuxia will retire in Beijin.

The situation in this province suddenly became turbulent again.

That evening, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhenbang had a long talk.

Lin Zhenbang told Li Yunhai that no matter who comes to govern this province in the future, you don't have to be afraid or panic. With the current size of Sihai Group, you have the capital to negotiate with anyone.

Li Yunhai knew in his heart that as long as Lin Zhenbang was still in an important position, whether in Xizhou or Beijin, his influence on Sihai Group would remain.

However, things are also unpredictable.

If you really meet someone who doesn't look down on Li Yunhai, Sihai Group will definitely be ostracized as well.

Li Yunhai is ready for this. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, he will move forward.

Lin Zhi no longer wants to go abroad and wants to stay with her parents.

As a result, Lin Zhenbang waved his hand and said that we don't need your company, you should go out to play when you should! It’s good to go to the United States and gain experience. Don’t be like a caged bird and know nothing about the outside world.

Tang Yuxia also said, we are just changing our work place. If you miss us in the future, come to Beijin to visit us. When the new airport opens, it will be more convenient to travel to Beijin. While we are still in Xizhou, we can help you take care of your children. You and Yunhai should go on a good trip!

Lin Zhi finally calmed down and decided to go to the United States with Li Yunhai.

This time at CES, Shen Xiulan was unable to participate, and one of her key players was missing.

Li Yunhai wanted to invite Shi Wenyin to go with him. Shi Wenyin knew sales and spoke English fluently. Although not as good as Shen Xiulan, she was better than others in the company.

Shi Wenyin asked Li Yunhai for advice on how to manage the factory, and she happily agreed.

In addition, the tradition of exhibition models cannot be lost.

Li Yunhai contacted Chen Hong and asked her if she was willing to go?

The reason for looking for Chen Hong was, of course, because they were familiar with each other and had visas from the United States, which could save a lot of trouble.

Of course Chen Hong was eager to travel with Li Yunhai and agreed.

After finalizing the accompanying personnel, Li Yunhai came to the Research Institute.

Sihai Research Institute has come up with its latest achievement - X64 architecture CPU!

After the hard work of Sihai Group's scientific research team, they finally succeeded in developing it!
  However, Li Yunhai didn't have high hopes.

This is only the first generation product. How can its performance compare with Intel's X86 chip? Only after testing and comparison can we know.

Li Yunhai has high hopes for the X64 architecture.

If the X64 architecture cannot surpass Intel's X86, how can it be used in gaming computers and servers?

Li Yunhai came to the Research Institute to witness the testing of the first-generation X64 chip with his own eyes!
  He made it very clear to Professor Ni that if the performance is insufficient, we cannot release it in a hurry and continue to immerse ourselves in research! (End of chapter)
