Life 1984

Chapter 470 Mr. Li, how much money do you have?

Li Yunhai never dared to underestimate a woman's intuition, especially his wife's sixth sense, which was often extremely accurate.

Lin Zhi said that Zhu Lin and Gong Jie were pregnant with someone else's illegitimate child, which almost shocked Li Yunhai.

"How do you know?" Li Yunhai asked with a guilty conscience.

Lin Zhi shook her head slightly and said, "Isn't this something obvious? They were both movie stars in the past, and the men who like them have a division even if they don't have an army, right?"

"It's probably more than 100 million."

"So, they don't lack the pursuit of men at all, so why haven't they gotten married? Isn't it because they have become other people's lovers? Let me tell you, the world is no better than before, and women can't be other people's lovers. It’s not a rare thing. The drivers in Xiangjiang who drive trucks in the mainland will raise a few Xiaomi in Pengcheng! What’s more, those big and wealthy bosses?”

"Isn't that true? I mean Sister Gong and Sister Zhu."

"I guess that's it. Maybe it belongs to a leader? Or it belongs to a big boss."

"Can't it be mine?"

"You? What a beautiful thought you have!"

"Hey, are you looking down on me?"

"Yunhai, you really have this charm and strength. But you don't have time to commit crimes. One of them is in Beijin, the other is in Shanghai, and you stay in Xizhou all day long. Besides, although they are beauties, they have rich experience and sophisticated people. They wouldn't do such crazy things for a young man. What they like should be mature and steady men, at least over 45 years old."

"Your analysis makes sense."

"Of course. Look, when they gave birth, no one came to accompany them. It shows that their men were shady and did not dare to let them give birth locally for fear of attracting the attention of reporters. Xizhou is different, here Although it is a provincial capital city, it is a small place after all. When they give birth here, they receive much less attention. As long as there is no special publicity, basically no one will notice them."

"You understand them very well!"

"How else can we become good friends? By the way, we only need to know what we say, but we must not say it outside, let alone in front of them."

"Don't worry, I know. After they give birth, should we invite them to live at home for a while to finish the confinement period?"

"I don't care. Anyway, there are nannies to cook and take care of them. It just depends on whether they are willing. You can ask later."

"it is good."

The two bought supplements and fruits and came to the hospital.

Zhu Lin and Gong Jie walked around the room with their big bellies.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi chatted with them and asked the doctor how long it would take for them to give birth.

The doctor said that after examination, the fetal position was very correct. If nothing unexpected happened, it was possible that the baby would be born at any time in the next two days.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi had dinner with them in the delivery room and chatted until nine o'clock in the evening before going home to rest.

Since having children, Lin Zhi and Li Yunhai have basically slept in separate rooms.

But every night, after Lin Zhi put her daughter to sleep, she would come over to spend some affection with Li Yunhai.

That night, when Lin Zhi checked her private calendar, she suddenly discovered that her period was five days late.

Normally, it is common for a period to be delayed for a few days. Especially for a woman like her who has to go to work and take care of her family, she is under a lot of mental pressure.

Because Lin Zhi had been preparing for pregnancy, she was particularly sensitive to the postponement of her period, but she was afraid of causing trouble, so she didn't tell Li Yunhai for the time being. After making love in the evening, she still went back to accompany her daughter.

Li Yunhai finished squandering his energy and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but his pager beeped.

Li Yunhai woke up with a start and saw that the time was five o'clock in the middle of the night.

When he saw that it was a local call from Xizhou, he went downstairs to resume the call.

The call came from the hospital. Zhu Lin was going to give birth!

Li Yunhai was very familiar with the doctors and nurses in the hospital and had specifically told them that once Zhu Lin and Gong Jie went into labor, no matter what time it was, they must contact him.

After the phone call, Li Yunhai went upstairs to find Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi was also awakened by him. When he heard that Zhu Lin was about to give birth, he said, "I'll go with you."

Li Yunhai pretended to be indifferent and said: "I'll just go and take a look. You can stay at home with your children."

Lin Zhi was also very tired, yawning profusely, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the hospital to see them tomorrow."

Li Yunhai drove to the hospital.

Zhu Lin had been in pain for several hours at night. He had seven fingers open and was about to give birth.

Gong Jie's stomach still only hurts slightly.

Li Yunhai waited outside the delivery room for more than an hour, and the nurse came out holding the baby.

Zhu Lin gave birth to a daughter, weighing six pounds and three ounces.

Gong Jie looked at the baby and smiled: "Yunhai, do you think this child looks like you?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "She looks like Sister Zhu, very beautiful."

Gong Jie was still laughing one second, and groaned the next second. She squatted down in pain and said, "I'm in severe pain. I should be giving birth."

The nurse took her into the delivery room.

Half an hour later, Gong Jie also gave birth to a boy, weighing seven pounds and sixty ounces.

No wonder Gong Jie's belly was bigger than Zhu Lin's, and the baby she gave birth to was indeed heavier.

Both of them are considered advanced mothers. Fortunately, everything went well and they were safe.

Li Yunhai stayed with them in the hospital for a day, and then arranged for a nanny to come and accompany them.

Three days later, Zhu Lin and Gong Jie were discharged from the hospital.

Li Yunhai invited them to come to his home for confinement so that they could be taken care of easily.

But both Zhu Lin and Gong Jie said it was too disturbing to you.

Li Yunhai said it's okay. You must keep up with your nutrition during confinement. It's easier to take care of you if you live in my house.

But Zhu Lin and Gong Jie both said that staying in a hotel is more convenient and comfortable. As for food, the hotel has a wide variety of dishes.

Li Yunhai insisted on inviting them to live at home so that they could see each other every day, and said that this was Lin Zhi's intention as well.

Zhu Lin and Gong Jie couldn't resist their hospitality, but they both knew that staying at Li Yunhai's house was convenient, but also prone to many conflicts, so they decided to stay in a hotel.

Li Yunhai had no choice but to send them back to the hotel.

The hotel suite is very spacious and is no different from living at home. The only inconvenience is that you can't cook meals together.

But this does not trouble Li Yunhai.

The entire Tianhua Sihai Hotel is his property.

Since Zhu Lin and Gong Jie moved in, he has specially arranged several chefs to cook for them. The nanny will inform them of what they want to eat, and the nanny will serve it after it is ready.

Now that they are going to confinement, Li Yunhai is naturally more concerned.

He found the hotel's chefs and asked them to come up with a nutritious menu and cook different delicious dishes in different ways every day.

Everything is easy to do if you have money, so the chefs naturally agree to it.

Li Yunhai looked at Zhu Linsheng's daughter and then Gong Jiesheng's son, grinning from ear to ear with joy.

Zhu Lin had agreed with Li Yunhai before that the daughter he would give birth to would be named Yan Fei.

But if the surname was also Li, it would be too eye-catching. Zhu Lin said to call her Zhu Yanfei. He also felt that Zhu Yanfei was not as nice as Li Yanfei, so he named her Zhu Fei.

Li Yunhai felt that the name didn't matter, as long as Zhu Lin and the child were his own.

Gong Jie put a lot of thought into naming her son. Since Zhu Lin's daughter's surname was Zhu, her son could not be surnamed Li, so he named her Gong Tao.

What she means is that the sea of ​​clouds creates waves.

Li Yunhai thought the name was quite good, so he agreed.

The two women were content to confine themselves to confinement without mentioning it.

Li Yunhai had been busy for a few days and returned to work at the company this afternoon.

After our country relaxed the access system for electronic products, foreign computers, copiers, printers and other products have flooded into our market.

As expected, many domestic brands have been greatly impacted.

The first brands to bear the brunt are Great Wall, Inspur, Donghai and other brands.

In the third quarter, the market share of domestic brands plummeted.

Lianxiang Company's computer brand sales were sluggish, so it started acting as an agent for the AST brand.

In order to catch up with IBM, Compaq made the decision to seize the East Asian market.

In the early 90s, Compaq Computer's sales in my country were pretty good. Foreign monks like to chant sutras, and foreign brands such as Compaq, HP, and IBM are loved by Chinese people.

The strongest among domestic brands is Sihai.

Sihai Group's products are well-known, have their own chips, memory and technology, and form a complete industrial chain of office equipment, which are deeply loved by users.

While the market for other domestic brands has shrunk, Sihai Group's sales have increased.

When the cloak of the planned economy was torn away and all units and agencies were allowed to purchase goods, Sihai Group's products became the best targets for purchase.

Comrade Xixian had praised Sihai Group's products a few years ago, and he himself even still uses computers from Sihai Group.

As a result, Sihai brand office equipment has become the first choice for domestic government agencies to purchase.

Since the 90s, the sales of office equipment in our country have been rising year by year, especially the sales of computers, which have increased from hundreds of thousands of units per year to millions of units per year.

Li Yunhai seized this rare opportunity and launched a war to defend domestic brands, using the banner of domestic computers to publicize and promote them domestically.

Sihai Group will bring several new products to the 1990 Autumn Canton Fair.

In order to better increase the popularity of the product, Sihai Group decided to invite the popular actress Gong Li to be its spokesperson, and she would re-shoot the product advertisement.

"Ju Dou" starring Gong Li won several awards abroad, and her previous starring role in "Red Sorghum" made her famous for a while.

Gong Li, who was 25 years old at the time, was in his prime, youthful and beautiful, and was in the golden period of his career.

In the 1990s, when we desperately need to be affirmed and recognized by the Western world, Gong Li won the grand prize from Westerners and became a big star.

Before the Autumn Canton Fair, Li Yunhai wanted to use her fame to advertise, so he sent someone to contact Gong Li.

Of course Gong Li also wanted to make money, so he immediately agreed to the request to shoot an advertisement and offered a price of 5 yuan.

This little money didn't matter to Li Yunhai, so he agreed.

After Gong Li came to Xizhou, Li Yunhai received her personally.

When talking about cooperation, Li Yunhai proposed that he want to sign a long-term endorsement contract with her.

Although Gong Li was somewhat famous at the time, he was not very profitable.

So far, she has only made a few movies, and her salary for each movie is limited. She really made money after she moved to Hong Kong in 1993. Her salary and income have skyrocketed. Making a million a year is no longer a dream.

Li Yunhai knew that this woman would be very popular in the future, so he wanted to sign a contract for several years in advance.

Gong Li asked how many years you want to sign?

Li Yunhai said ten years!

Gong Li smiled and said, are you so optimistic about my future development? What if I don’t become popular in the future?

Li Yunhai said, what we want to build is a century-old brand, and I hope our spokespersons will remain the same. If you are willing, we can sign them for twenty years.

Gong Li said it was difficult to say what happened in the future, so we should sign for five years first. How about that?

Li Yunhai said that he would sign for ten years, and the conditions would be up to you.

Gong Li discussed it with his entourage and said, Mr. Li, if you want to sign for ten years, the endorsement fee will definitely increase, every year.

Li Yunhai made a gesture to ask for a price.

Gong Li bit the corner of his mouth and said, "Can you accept the increase of 20,000 yuan every year?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "No problem!"

For people in 1990, the annual endorsement fee increased by , which was already considered a very high increase.

You must know that the salary of ordinary people is only two to three hundred yuan a month.

The endorsement fee is now 5, rising by 2000 per year. Ten years later, in 25, it will rise to per year.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Do you want to sign for 20 years? After ten years, the annual increase will be !"

No one thinks that he can be famous for a lifetime, but Li Yunhai knows that the next 20 years will be Gong Huang's most prosperous 20 years!

Gong Li himself must have never imagined that he could be famous for so long, right?

Once the contract is signed, it becomes legally binding.

Even if Gong Li becomes less popular in the future, Li Yunhai will still have to pay her endorsement fees every year.

Ten years later it will be 25, rising by 2010 every year. By 75, the endorsement fee will rise to !

For people in the early 90s, this was an unimaginable amount of money.

Gong Li pursed his lips and smiled: "Mr. Li, do you think so highly of me?"

Li Yunhai said boldly: "Miss Gong is so beautiful, I am very willing to pay for a beauty like you! If you don't like it, the price will increase by 10 yuan every year in 10 years!"

Gong Li was moved.

She couldn't predict what her future self would be like.

She has suffered from poverty since she was a child, and she has not made much money since entering the film and television industry.

Now there is a rich man who says that he appreciates her, likes her, and is willing to pay for her endorsement for the next 20 years!

This has never happened before.

Gong Li's female assistant said: "Mr. Li, isn't 20 years too long? To put it bluntly, I don't know how your company will develop after such a long time!"

Li Yunhai waved his hand confidently: "You want to say that maybe in less than 20 years, our company will collapse or even disappear. Right? Then let me tell you, our company will definitely only get better and better. Okay. Let’s take a step back and say, even if our company collapses, what will be the loss to Ms. Gong? It’s just a contract, and we don’t need Ms. Gong to compensate us. When the time comes, it’s impossible for Ms. Gong to ask us for compensation. , right? As long as our company still exists, this contract will be valid!"

The assistant discussed with Gong Li in a low voice.

Li Yunhai praised Gong Li very highly, which made her very happy.

Gong Li is indeed beautiful, not only her skin is beautiful, but her bones are also beautiful.

Her skin is fair, smooth and flawless, and her facial color contrast is high, making her look like a beauty that lasts forever.

Observing her face carefully, Li Yunhai found that every inch of her bones fit perfectly with the other bones. There was no depression in any place, and no one was particularly prominent.

Even the cheekbones, which are the most powerful corners, are still expanded within a just right range. This makes her entire face look very aesthetic, majestic and attractive.

At the same time, Gong Li's profile and skeletal lines are also very wonderful. Not only does it grasp the traditional three highs and four lows, but it also grasps the protrusions of the bones in the eyebrows just right, which greatly stabilizes the three-dimensionality of the face and makes the ups and downs of the side face lines more graceful, making it look like the darling of light and shadow. .

Li Yunhai is optimistic about her, of course not because she is beautiful, but because he knows that she will be prosperous in the future.

And the price he offered was enough to make Gong Li tempted.

Let alone mainland movie stars, they are Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. If you can get so much money from one endorsement, it can be considered a high price.

No one can imagine how prices will rise in 10 years.

After discussing with his assistant, Gong Li decided to agree to Li Yunhai's request.

"Mr. Li, this is the first time I have seen a courageous entrepreneur like you!" Gong Li held his chin in his hand and looked at Li Yunhai with a smile.

Her eyes were not charming peach blossoms, and even the undulations of her lips were not as good as the smiling lips that became popular in later generations, but the combination of her facial features was so dazzling.

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Miss Gong, I'm glad that you can agree to my request. Our cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation! If the brand you endorse can continue to be prosperous and the brand gets bigger, it will be great for you. It is also a kind of positive publicity. On the contrary, if a certain star endorses a brand and loses one, it will become poison in the eyes of others."

Gong Li said: "Mr. Li, I am very happy to cooperate with such a good company like yours. I have also heard of Sihai Group before. You have a lot of advertisements on TV."

Li Yunhai said: "Miss Gong, I'm not bragging. Our company enjoys a high reputation both domestically and internationally. Then we can sign the contract later?"

Gong Li said: "Okay!"

Both sides toasted to celebrate.

After signing the contract, Li Yunhai said: "Miss Gong, please keep this contract. This is a 20-year contract!"

Gong Li smiled and said: "Of course, I will keep it safe."

In the afternoon, Li Yunhai took her to visit the factory.

This was Gong Li's first time entering an office equipment workshop.

When she saw the lithography machine, she asked, "Mr. Li, what kind of machine is this?"

"Photolithography machine, used to produce chips."

"Oh, this machine is imported, right? It's all in foreign languages."

"Yes, this is a machine we imported from Japan."

“Is this machine expensive?”

"It's okay, it costs several hundred million yuan."

"Hundreds of millions?" Gong Li was shocked after hearing this. Although she had heard of Sihai Group and knew that Sihai Group was very rich, this was the first time she had seen how rich it was.

Li Yunhai nodded and said: "Lithography machines, memory production lines, a complete set of equipment will cost billions."

"I can't imagine!" Gong Li asked, "Mr. Li, how much money do you have?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "My wife has never asked me this question."

Gong Li asked with a smile: "So, I asked, can't you tell me?"
