Life 1984

After the launch, Li Yunhai saw Brown standing next to Chen Hong and other three booth models, teasing them to chat. Apparently he wanted to have a date?
  On the first day of the exhibition today, Chen Hong and the others were all wearing bikinis. Although the temperature in the exhibition hall was not low, it was still a bit cool to wear bikinis. Fortunately, Chen Hong and the other three are professionals and won't say anything if they are cold.

After a while, foreign businessmen who came to visit the exhibition entered the booth in an endless stream.

The main product promoted by Sihai Group this time is, of course, the Alienware computer. This computer uses Intel's original chips and is expensive, which lowers the overall profit of the computer, but it is still profitable.

In addition, it is an ink tank printer.

Last time at the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Center, Sihai Group and Dongyangren fought a lawsuit, and the result was a resounding victory, which also made the ink tank printer famous all over the world.

Although the profit of the printer itself is only US$200, it is very profitable to sell more, especially the subsequent consumables.

Everyone in the booth was busy, and Brown was still trying to pick up girls.

Li Yunhai said to Lin Xiaofeng: "Auntie, this Brown is not very good! The performance of the North American branch is also a mess."

"A bit." Lin Xiaofeng said thoughtfully, "Do you mean to replace him?"

Li Yunhai said: "Well, let's change it! The manager of the branch is very important. We must choose someone who is knowledgeable and has a pioneering and enterprising spirit. Let's talk about it after the electronics show in the past few days! At present, we are seeking stability."

While they were talking, a few more foreign businessmen walked in.

Li Yunhai waited for a moment to see if Brown would be discerning, but he completely ignored the foreign businessmen who were advancing.

Lin Xiaofeng stepped forward to entertain them.

Li Yunhai suddenly saw an acquaintance, it was Hebrew!

He stood up and came forward, shaking hands with Hebrews.

In the second half of last year, Hebrew helped Li Yunhai sell 10 high-performance computers, making it one of the company's largest purchasers.

Hebrew shook Li Yunhai's hand vigorously and said, "Have you asked MJ to endorse you this year?"

Li Yunhai said: "We have reached an agreement with MJ, and he will still be the spokesperson for Alien's global advertising."

Hebrew said: "Great! As long as MJ endorses it, your Alienware computer will definitely sell well. I have been placing an order with you for a long time. I thought you would come to CES, so I will give it to you here. Please place your order!"

Li Yunhai said: "Anything is fine, Mr. Hebrew, you can consider becoming our agent."

Hebrew said: "Okay! Let's do this. I will be your agent, so I don't have to buy too many products every time. Anyway, I can replenish the goods at any time."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, I have dug a hole for myself.

However, what Hebrews said is absolutely true. The company is looking at the annual income anyway, and does not need to care about temporary gains and losses.

Wouldn’t it be better if Hebrew could place orders every month?
  Heib pointed at Sihai Group's products and said: "I have basically sold all of these products. Among them, the best-selling products are Alienware, Longteng PC, and Sihai Ink Tank Printer. Of course, since I am Your agent, I should also purchase some of your other products. Well, let’s do this. For the three products I just mentioned, prepare 2 units for me first! For other products, prepare 5000 units for me. .How is it? Can your production capacity keep up?"

Li Yunhai didn't have much hope at first. After hearing what he said, he immediately became energetic and said with a smile: "Our production capacity will definitely keep up. Please rest assured, Mr. Hebrew."

"Okay! It's settled then. After the goods are sold out, I'll ask you to replenish the stock. I estimate that this year's Alienware computers will be able to sell at least 20 to 30 units. Please be sure to have enough stock. , especially chips.”

Li Yunhai said he would give priority to supplying goods to you.

Strictly speaking, this order cannot be counted as an order for the CES show.

Because Hebrew was going to place the order.

Otherwise, Li Yunhai's goal of US$2 million would have been achieved!

The total price of 2 Alienware units is US$9200 million.

2 Longteng PCs cost US$8000 million.

Together with other products, the total order value has exceeded [-] million US dollars.

When everyone saw that Li Yunhai had received such a large order as soon as he opened the business, they were excited but also under great pressure.

Li Yunhai is the boss and can take such a big order. As employees, why don't they have to work harder?
  After signing the contract with Hebrew, Li Yunhai said to his colleagues: "This order from Hebrew is not included in this year's CES performance. Mr. Hebrew originally wanted to give us the order. Let's see who can win the first place. An order!”

Everyone works hard to sell.

The first order was finally won by Lin Zhi.

The total order amount was more than 500 million, and the other party purchased Alienware computers and ink tank printers.

These two products are also the most distinctive products of Sihai Group and are the best-selling products abroad.

After the order was placed, everyone's enthusiasm became even higher.

The boss and the wife of the boss each placed an order, and the pressure was placed on all employees.

If you can't place orders, what's the point of your boss supporting you?

The sounds of negotiations on the scene came and went.

Li Yunhai knew that there was a mixed crowd of people visiting the exhibition, and there might be people fishing in troubled waters, so he arranged for Zhuang Yong and others to stand on one side and monitor.

When Brown saw that everyone was busy, he finally stopped picking up girls and turned around to start selling.

In the morning, Lin Xiaofeng received an order, and then Shi Wenyin also received an order.

Shi Wenyin was helping her out of friendship, but Li Yunhai would not treat her badly, and the order's dividends and rewards were indispensable.

At noon, Li Yunhai and others had a quick snack at the booth.

Li Yunhai ate three burgers in a row before he was full.

The money was spent, but the food was not enjoyable. There was no taste. After eating, my mouth felt bland and bland.

In the afternoon, everyone worked together and received a few more orders.

The total performance on the first day, except for the big Hebrew order, reached 4000 million US dollars.

This is still a bit far from Li Yunhai's goal.

It takes four days to get $2 million, an average of $5000 million per day.

If you don’t complete the task on the first day, the next three days will be even more stressful.

This guy Brown hasn't opened a single order yet.

This made Li Yunhai wonder, is this person a liar?

In the United States, people often falsify academic qualifications and resumes to get high-paying jobs.

Although Lin Xiaofeng must have carefully checked Brown's academic qualifications and resume during the interview, his performance was really poor.

Li Yunhai has been busy recently and has not paid much attention to the management of the North American branch. What's more, the overseas work has been left to Lin Xiaofeng, David and Guo Wanhua.

Maybe everyone has different requirements for subordinates, and Li Yunhai is more demanding.

Li Yunhai originally wanted to wait until CES was over before firing Brown, but the boy's recent performance made him unwilling to endure it for a day.

That night, Li Yunhai went to Lin Xiaofeng to discuss firing Brown and hiring a new manager while he was still in the United States.

Lin Xiaofeng said to David.

David got up and went to Brown to announce the company's decision to fire him.

Brown is a bachelor, so it's useless to plead for mercy. He only asks for all the legal rights and interests he had when he left his job to be met.

If you have worked for more than one year, you need to compensate for one month's salary.

Brown joined Sihai Group for almost a year and was compensated on a one-year basis.

Li Yunhai didn't hesitate and settled Brown's salary that night and let him leave.

When a branch manager became vacant, affairs were temporarily handed over to David until a new manager was found.

Lin Xiaofeng thought it would be better to place a dozen recruitment advertisements in newspapers and magazines? More visible to the elite.

Li Yunhai said yes. He contacted reporters from Time magazine whom he had known before and asked them for help. He published a recruitment notice in a New York daily.

Since the advertisement has been placed, of course you cannot just recruit one manager and recruit people for other positions at the same time.

When the time comes, we will select the best and eliminate existing employees who are not suitable.

The interview will be scheduled 4 days later at Sihai Branch in New York.

After Li Yunhai completes the CES electronics show, he will go to New York to participate in an interview.

That night, Li Yunhai and others did not go shopping because of the matter.

Chen Hong quietly told Li Yunhai that Brown had been seducing a few of them, saying that he could help them apply for green cards in the United States, as long as they were obedient.

Li Yunhai sneered and said, luckily you weren't fooled! Is it possible for him to apply for a green card in the United States? Don't think too much!

Chen Hong smiled and said, I know, I will not be fooled by him.

As she spoke, she sneezed.

"Are you catching a cold?" Li Yunhai asked with concern.

"It's okay, just a small problem." Chen Hong said with an indifferent expression, "We won't have to wear bikinis starting tomorrow."

Li Yunhai nodded: "Go to bed early."

"Mr. Li, are you really not going to my room?"

"It's inconvenient now. My wife is here. Be careful of them finding out."

"What are you afraid of? I won't keep you overnight, just for a while."

"Who do you look down on? Who did you look down on? You have forgotten how powerful I am, right?"

Chen Hong chuckled and said, "I mean, compared to spending the night together, isn't it just a short time for us to be together and fall in love?"

She plucked up the courage and quietly took Li Yunhai's hand.

Li Yunhai looked at the corridor. There was no one around, but he still had lust but no courage.

It's just too risky!     It's just a pleasure, not worth it.

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange it. There will be a chance."

After saying that, he Shi Shiran returned to his room.

Chen Hong looked at the back of him who left resolutely, and couldn't help but sigh.

What she was dissatisfied with was that she was obviously very charming and could charm other men, so why couldn't she attract him?

If the two of them had never had a relationship, it would be understandable for Li Yunhai to be so reserved.

The problem is that the two are obviously related!
  Chen Hong never made excessive demands.

The reason why she didn't ask for anything was not because she didn't ask for anything, but because she was playing a long game to catch the big fish. She was afraid that she might accidentally scare the big fish away. That's why she never asked Li Yunhai for anything.

In this case, why doesn't Li Yunhai get along with him?

What is he afraid of?
  Or are you saying that you are not having fun?

How many times did he get tired of playing?

Li Yunhai returned to the room.

Lin Zhi is on the phone with her family. Because of the time difference, she called home every night.

The child Li Yanxi is still young and can't speak. Apart from crying, he can only babble.

Listening to the child laughing non-stop on the other side of the phone, Lin Zhi felt endless longing for her and wished she could return to her child right away.

No matter how fun and developed the United States is, it can't keep her from missing home.

After putting down the phone, Lin Zhi pursed her lips and said, "Yunhai, I miss my child! When I think of her, I feel panicked."

"Yes, I know. After a few days, you will get used to it." Li Yunhai said, "In fact, children must be independent after all."

"So you have such a little independent baby? You need someone to feed you! Yunhai, how about we not go on a trip? We will go home directly after the CES electronics show."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. But it's rare for you to come to the United States! We have been together for almost five years, and this is your first time here."

"Well, let's talk!"

Li Yunhai hugged her, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Don't cry. Grandma is taking care of the child. He is very happy!"

Lin Zhi turned from crying to laughing: "To be honest, I was very attached to my grandma when I was a child, but as I grew up, I went there less. So my grandma always said that I was a white-eyed wolf who was not well-raised!"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "It seems that everyone has a grandma like this! My grandma is also like this. She said that when we were young, we had nothing to eat, so we always ran to grandma's house and asked grandma for sweets. When we grew up, we stopped walking around."

The two chatted and developed emotions.

Li Yunhai's hands became dishonest.

Lin Zhi let out a sigh and fell limply into her husband's arms, letting him knead her.

Silent all night.

The second day of CES.

Li Yunhai and others all wanted to make up for the [-] million they missed yesterday.

That means we have to get $6 million today.

Without Brown, Li Yunhai felt that the entire team would be much more pleasing to the eye.

As foreign businessmen entered, Li Yunhai and others stood up to receive them.

Brown was fired. Everyone heard about it, and they thought he was fired because he didn't work hard and didn't bill for a day.

Everyone feels unprecedented pressure.

Professor Ni comes to the exhibition mainly to learn more advanced technologies from others, so he feels most at ease and has no pressure to take orders. After work, he wanders around exhibitions and learns about advanced technical products when he sees them, or Buy a sample and come back to study.

Except for him, everyone else has the pressure to open orders.

At the beginning of the next day, Lin Zhi took an order.

The amount of this order is quite large, [-] million US dollars.

Lin Zhi happily signed a contract with the other party.

Unfortunately, when the contract regulations were informed, the other party regretted it and said that it did not accept the transaction method of payment first and delivery later.

Lin Zhi looked at Li Yunhai helplessly.

After Li Yunhai learned about the other party's qualifications, he decisively gave up the order.

Just like at the Canton Fair, some orders would rather be missed than accepted, otherwise you will lose more.

Li Yunhai is not greedy, he knows depth and advance and retreat.

Lin Zhi was very helpless, watching the ten million she received slip away so quietly.

Li Yunhai said there is no need to worry. Those who really want to purchase our goods will definitely agree to our conditions. If the other party hesitates, it either means that the other party is not strong enough, or it means that the other party has other intentions. It doesn’t matter what type the other party is, whether they cooperate or not.

Lin Zhi silently accepted this reality.

Just as another foreign businessman came in, she got up and went to receive them.

After a bad start, it was like a curse was planted, and several orders were lost in a row.

Even Lin Xiaofeng began to wonder if Li Yunhai's trading methods were too conservative?

Do I have to pay first and then deliver?
  How many orders will be lost?

However, Li Yunhai insisted on his own opinion and was not swayed by the immediate interests.

Once this opening is opened, other trading methods will be widely accepted.

In order to facilitate orders, salesmen will sign a contract first, regardless of the other party's qualifications.

At that time, as long as one of the ten orders goes wrong, all the work will be in vain!
  Li Yunhai's determination to stick to his principles amazed Lin Xiaofeng and others and they had to abide by it.

We had hamburgers for lunch.

Li Yunhai said while swallowing the burger: "I must go out to a Chinese restaurant to have a toothpaste tonight, and my mouth will be like a bird!"

Lin Zhi is also not used to eating. She feels good after eating it once in a while, but she gets tired of it after eating a few more meals. Now she feels like vomiting when she sees the hamburger.

In one morning, Sihai Group only took over [-] million orders.

The pressure in the afternoon was unprecedented.

Everyone goes to great lengths to promote their products.

In the end, we still encountered Waterloo.

By the time it closed in the afternoon, it had only taken in US$3800 million in one day, which was not as good as yesterday.

Everyone's hearts froze.

There are only two days left. If no big buyers come, they will definitely not be able to achieve their goal.

That night, Li Yunhai invited everyone to eat at a Chinese restaurant outside and ordered a table full of delicious food.

It is a pity that Chinese restaurants in foreign countries have also been localized, and the dishes they eat do not taste as expected.

After the meal, Li Yunhai held a short meeting in the box to analyze the problems that had existed in the past two days.

The CES trip is already halfway through, and the total transaction volume is only US$7800 million!
  Li Yunhai reminded all colleagues to keep in mind the US$2 million billing mission! Work hard and take big orders!

For the high commission, everyone has to fight to the death!
  Everyone has been trained in salesmanship and spoken language during introductions. Except for Shi Wenyin, everyone else has participated in several exhibitions and can be said to be veterans.

Since there is no problem with promotion, then it is a problem with the market?

Is the market going bad this year?
  Li Yunhai couldn't help but think that it seemed that he still had to cultivate more sales channels, and various exhibitions could only be used as a supplement.

After the meeting, Li Yunhai announced that the meeting was adjourned and everyone was free to move around.

Li Yunhai asked Lin Zhi: "Do you want to see the casino in the gambling city?"

"Go and have a look?" Lin Zhi also became interested, "But we can't gamble! Nine times out of ten we will lose!"

Li Yunhai said: "Of course. But it's okay to just do it for fun. Just think of it as entertainment."

Chen Hong and others also wanted to play.

The group arrived at a nearby hotel.

The casino is splendidly decorated, and the waiters serve customers like emperors.

Everyone who comes here will inevitably have an illusion: I am a rich man, so there is no harm in spending a lot of money here.

Chen Hong had lost his entire fortune before, but today he no longer dares to play big games, and only plays slot machines and the like.

Lin Zhi tried her luck, and as expected, she lost as soon as she made the move. After losing a few hundred yuan, she felt heartbroken and said she didn't want to play anymore: "A few hundred yuan, and I didn't even hear a sound."

Li Yunhai reminded her: "What you lost was US dollars."

Lin Zhi exclaimed: "Let's go, let's go! I won't come here to gamble again!"

Chen Hong smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, you are still the boss's wife. You can't afford to lose this little money? I came here last year and lost tens of thousands of dollars!"

Lin Zhi said: "This is nothing to compare with. With this money, I might as well use it to buy food and supplies."

She firmly pulled Li Yunhai out of the casino.

Li Yunhai couldn't help but sigh, Lin Zhi is really a sober person! (End of chapter)
