Life 1984

After years of research and planning by Li Yunhai, Sihai Group's advertisement at the Canton Fair can be called a three-dimensional bombing.

The billboard on the roof of the exhibition hall has been preserved. No matter how much others want to pay, Sihai Group can increase the price on top of theirs! There are also advertising slogans hanging from the ceiling inside the venue.

The free leaflets distributed by the Canton Fair also have the Sihai Group's logo printed on them.

Starting from the Autumn Fair in 1989, the Canton Fair time was shortened from 20 days to 15 days.

This Autumn Canton Fair is the 68th Canton Fair, which lasted for half a month from October 10th to 15th.

At the beginning of this year, the international silk market was in a structurally weak stage, and my country's textile exports dropped significantly. On the contrary, the export of mechanical and electrical products has jumped sharply, becoming the first type of export products to earn foreign exchange.

The turnover of products such as cassette recorders and color TV sets made in my country has exceeded 10 million US dollars.

This small trade fair, which was originally focused on agricultural products and local specialties, has now become "China's No. 1 Exhibition", and the exhibits made in my country have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Sihai Group's persistence in the Canton Fair for many years has also brought gratifying results.

Since participating in the exhibition, Sihai Group has been able to obtain the largest turnover of delegations from the province and city every time.

Nowadays, more and more office equipment products are participating in the Canton Fair. Domestic computers, copiers and printers produced by joint ventures are all eligible to enter this exhibition.

Sihai Group now has four of its best booths.

The design of the booth is also unique. The main products are placed on the most conspicuous booths at the entrance. All products are displayed in sections and are clearly visible at a glance.

Li Yunhai asked someone to contact Gong Li.

Coincidentally, Gong Li happened to be in Huacheng and was negotiating cooperation with a director in Xiangjiang. After she received a page from Li Yunhai, she immediately resumed filming. When she heard that Li Yunhai was at the Canton Fair, she promised to come over immediately.

Li Yunhai sent someone to the door to greet Gong Li as he entered.

Gong Li came to Sihai Group’s booth.

She wore sunglasses that were placed high on her head, a white women's shirt, and a pair of black trousers. The lower buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, and the hems on both sides were tied with bows. Her slim waist was exposed, and her round belly button was embedded in her white belly like a Tianchi.

This outfit looked very trendy and beautiful, and coupled with her slim and tall figure, she attracted the attention of countless people along the way.

Li Yunhai felt that this girl was truly a gift from the Creator.

In fact, when he first saw Gong Li, Li Yunhai didn't think she was very good-looking. Gong Li didn't bring him stunning beauty. Compared with Chen Hong's gorgeousness, Gong Jie's gentleness, and Zhu Lin's sweetness, Gong Li's Beauty is grand and chic.

This kind of beauty is more in line with Westerners' aesthetics, which is why Gong Li is so popular among Westerners!

"Hello, Mr. Li!" Gong Li smiled sweetly, his fleshy lips turning up slightly.

Li Yunhai shook hands with her and said, "Miss Gong, I have to trouble you again."

Gong Li chuckled and said: "You can have fun and make money, so why not? I have to thank Mr. Li for giving me such a good opportunity. Mr. Li, is your business good?"

Li Yunhai pointed to the negotiation area and said: "There are several foreign businessmen who are negotiating, but they have not opened yet."

Gong Li looked around and asked, "Mr. Li, how many orders can you get from a Canton Fair like this?"

Li Yunhai said: "It's hard to say. Normally, we can receive orders of about US$200 million."

"Wow!" Gong Li exclaimed softly, his beautiful eyes shining brightly, "Two hundred million, US dollars! Isn't that one billion yuan? Mr. Li, no wonder you make so much money! Compared with you, the income of us acting actors It’s just too low.”

Li Yunhai said: "You can't calculate it that way. Our profit is not that high, only about 30%."

Gong Li said: "That's not bad. You can earn 300 million yuan from a Canton Fair!"

Li Yunhai said: "But it requires a lot of effort on our part. For a product, we need a long process from research and development to production to sales, which is time-consuming and laborious. Most of the money we earn has to be invested in scientific research. , products must be updated every year, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the situation. There is still some money to pay for employee wages and various expenses."

“Then running a business is quite difficult!”

"Of course it is difficult, so I will ask Miss Gong to help with publicity in the future."

"It's easy to talk about. I am now the spokesperson of your brand. If you have any requests, just ask me. I will definitely come to participate when I have time."

"Thank you, Miss Gong."

"Then I'm here now, what should I do?"

"We rented a place in front of the Canton Fair, set up a stage, and held a new product launch conference. It will be held tomorrow, and you will be invited to attend."

"no problem."

"Miss Gong, where do you live?"

"I came here today to discuss cooperation with a director in Xiangjiang. They want to invite me to participate in a movie. I just arrived and haven't found the hotel yet. My luggage is all outside and my assistant is guarding it!"

"If Miss Gong doesn't mind, you can stay at my place."

Gong Li obviously misunderstood what Li Yunhai meant. He covered his mouth and chuckled: "Live at your place? Shall we live together?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, is that okay?"

Gong Li smiled a little at a loss: "Okay, I have no problem."

Li Yunhai arranged for Zhuang Yong to send Gong Li to his home, and said that he would treat you to dinner in the evening, and you could take care of lunch yourself!

Zhuang Yong sent Gong Li to Zhiyuan.

When Gong Li saw the villa, he couldn't help but laugh. Only then did he understand that what Li Yunhai meant by living together was not that two people slept in the same room in the hotel.

She looked at this beautiful house curiously and asked Zhuang Yong, "Is this Mr. Li's villa?"

Zhuang Yong said: "Yes, this villa is called Zhiyuan. Mr. Li's wife is called Linzhi. Mr. Li originally purchased this villa for his wife."

"Oh! That's it!" Gong Li and his assistant settled in the room on the first floor.

She asked Zhuang Yong, "Can I use the phone in the living room?"

Zhuang Yong made a gesture of invitation: "Of course."

Gong Li called the director in Xiangjiang.

The other party said that he was coming from Pengcheng and would not arrive until the afternoon, so he could only arrange to meet in the evening.

Gong Li said okay, let's meet in the evening. She asked Zhuang Yong for Zhiyuan's phone number and told it to him for easy contact.

Zhuang Yong settled them down and returned to the Canton Fair to report back to Li Yunhai.

On the first day of the Canton Fair, Li Yunhai and Professor Ni walked around to see other people's new technologies and products.

Sihai Group is mainly engaged in the office equipment business, but this business involves a wide range of disciplines.

New technologies in professional fields such as optoelectronics, chemistry, machinery, etc. can be applied to photolithography machines and copiers.

At every Canton Fair, most of the best domestic companies will come to participate in the exhibition, and any new technologies and products will be displayed.

Li Yunhai and Professor Ni were looking for suitable partners.

When passing the booth of a semiconductor factory, Li Yunhai stopped.

"Professor Ni, look at this company. Did we see it at last year's Shanghai Electronics Show?"

Our country also has an electronics exhibition, called CEF, which started in 1964. It is the oldest and most authoritative electronics industry exhibition in my country. It is also known as the five major electronics exhibitions in Asia together with the electronics exhibitions of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Domestic new electronic components, electronic materials and equipment, testing and measurement, industrial-grade electronic components, optoelectronic devices, high-performance integrated circuits and other products will all appear at this electronics exhibition.

Professor Ni smiled and said: "Yes, some of the testing and measurement tools of our scientific research institute are purchased from their factory."

The people at that booth did not recognize them, and seeing that they were not foreign businessmen, they did not come forward to entertain them.

Seeing that they were busy, Li Yunhai left with Professor Ni.

They walked around and returned to their booth.

The first day is the busiest time for ordering, and many regular customers will come directly to place orders.

Shen Xiulan and others introduced new products to guests and promoted new product transactions.

Zhao Jinping went to contact the stage before. At this time, he returned to the booth and reported to Li Yunhaihui: "Mr. Li, I have contacted the organizing committee. They are willing to rent a space for us outside the exhibition hall, but they can only rent it for half a day. time."

"Half a day is enough. The stage doesn't need to be big, we just use it to launch new products. There aren't too many programs." Li Yunhai said, "You will follow up on this matter, and we will hold a press conference at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. "

"Okay, Mr. Li." Zhao Jinping said, "If we want to build the stage, the organizing committee has a dedicated team and equipment, so we will ask them to cooperate."

"of course can."

What makes Li Yunhai happy is that the new Sihai laptop has been loved by many people.

This laptop is positioned as a business notebook, with an ex-factory price of US$2999 and a domestic price of RMB 15999. It was considered a relatively cheap mainstream laptop at the time.

There is also a touch-screen tablet computer that sells for $1999, but it has been ignored. Only a few regular customers bought a hundred units and said they would give it a try.

Li Yunfang learned how to sell from Shen Xiulan, but she had not received an order yet.

The first day passed quickly.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the first day of the exhibition ended.

Sihai Group received an order of more than 40 million US dollars, which is not outstanding, but very satisfactory.

Back home, Li Yunhai saw that Gong Li had actually cooked a table of meals at home, which was quite unexpected.

"Mr. Li, I saw a lot of dishes in the refrigerator, so I made a few, but I wasn't sure if they were enough?" Gong Li said with a smile.

Li Yunhai said: "I didn't realize that you can also cook."

Gong Li smiled and said: "I learned it from my mother at home when I was a child. Can you try it and see if it tastes good to you?"

Li Yunhai picked up the chopsticks, tasted a few mouthfuls, and said, "It's very good! Thank you for your hard work."

Everyone sat down and ate together.

Li Yunhai asked Gong Li, "Don't you have a social event in the evening?"

Gong Li said: "The other party hasn't contacted me yet! I guess they came a little late!"

After dinner, the phone in the living room rang.

Su Hong answered the phone and shouted: "Miss Gong, I'm looking for you." Gong Li said thank you, took the phone, said hello, and then smiled: "Director Wu, I have already eaten, I thought you Still on the way! Well, that’s okay, I’ll go there now. Okay, I understand.”

She put down the phone and said to Li Yunhai: "Director Wu and the others are here. They said they were having dinner at a Panxi restaurant and asked me to come over now. Mr. Li, are you free? Can you accompany me? My assistant and I are both women. , some feel unsure."

Li Yunhai knew what she was worried about. It was the first time she met and talked about things with a strange man. Of course, it would be more reassuring to have a man by her side.

"Is it appropriate for me to go over?" Li Yunhai asked.

Gong Li smiled and said: "What's inappropriate about this? We are also friends, aren't we?"

Li Yunhai nodded, told his sister, and went out with Gong Li.

The two of them just walked to the door of the yard and saw Shen Xiulan coming.

Because Li Yunhai lived with his sister and Su Hong, Shen Xiulan stayed at the Oriental Hotel to avoid suspicion.

"I also want to come and chat with you. Do you want to go out?" Shen Xiulan asked.

Li Yunhai said: "Xiulan, Yunfang and Su Hong are all at home. You have a chat with them. I'll go out with Gong Li to do some errands and come back. You can stay here with me tonight and don't go back to the hotel."

"Okay!" Shen Xiulan pursed her lips and nodded with Gong Li.

Gong Li said: "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Shen Xiulan entered the room and chatted with Li Yunfang, Su Hong and others.

Li Yunfang knew about the relationship between her eldest brother and Shen Xiulan, but because Su Hong was present, she couldn't talk about it. The women had many topics to talk about together, and they were not lonely.

Let's talk about Li Yunhai accompanying Gong Li to Panxi Restaurant.

The waiter came up to us and asked, "First of all, how many are there?"

Gong Li said: "Let's find friends."

She said the name of the box, and the waiter led them there.

Entering the box, there were five people sitting inside, four men and one woman.

Sitting in seat C is a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt. His hairline is very receding, his face is fair and somewhat swollen, and he has big bags under his eyes, giving people a feeling of weakness due to excessive indulgence.

As soon as Gong Li entered the private room, the eyes of several men inside were obviously brightened. It was as if their eyes were fixed on Gong Li and they couldn't pull them away.

"Come on, come on, Miss Gong, I've heard of you for a long time!" Flower Shirt stood up and smiled and waved, "You are much more beautiful in person than in the movie! You are indeed a peerless youth, not inferior to Hong Kong sister Li Jiaxin!"

Li Yunhai and Gong Li's assistants then walked in.

Gong Li pointed to the seats near the door and said, "Director Wu, let's sit here!"

The flowery shirt is none other than Hong Kong director Wu Qiming.

Li Yunhai has never heard of this person's name at all, but the film industry in Hong Kong is very developed, with many film and television companies, and naturally there are many directors.

If you are not from this circle, it is impossible to know all the directors. The only ones that ordinary people can remember are the few great directors.

Wu Qiming patted the back of the chair next to him: "Miss Gong, come and sit here. How can we talk if you sit so far away?"

Gong Li had no choice but to walk over, and Shi Shiran sat down and said, "Director Wu, you can eat, we have already eaten."

Li Yunhai and her assistant sat down outside.

Wu Qiming put his hand on the back of Gong Li's chair and said with a smile: "You have finished dinner, you can always have a drink with us, right?"

Gong Li said: "Director Wu, I don't know how to drink."

Wu Qiming said: "Women have a capacity for alcohol. How can there be a woman who doesn't know how to drink? There are only women who refuse to drink. If you don't drink, do you look down on us?"

He called to Li Yunhai again: "Are you Miss Gong's manager? Have you had dinner too? Then drink some wine! Give them a full plate, everyone should drink!"

Gong Li held the wine glass and said, "Then I'd like to propose a toast to Director Wu. Director Wu, I really don't know how to drink, so I only drink this glass."

Wu Qiming laughed and said: "That's right, let's have a drink first."

Li Yunhai didn't move. He didn't have to give anyone face in such a drinking party.

Wu Qiming only cares about Gong Li and doesn't care whether Li Yunhai drinks or not.

They drank from large wine glasses, one cup containing one tael.

Gong Li drank a glass, touched his neck, coughed twice, and said, "This wine is so choking."

Wu Qiming's hand naturally slid down from the back of the chair and placed it on Gong Li's back.

Gong Li was taken aback, leaned back quickly, and immediately pressed Wu Qiming's hand to the back of the chair.

At the same time, she turned her body to one side and said, "Director Wu, drink!"

Wu Qiming retracted his hand, picked up the cup and took a sip. He squinted his eyes and stared at Gong Li's chest, and said: "Miss Gong, we invite you to be the heroine in this drama, and you will be paid 20 yuan."

Gong Li was very surprised and said, "What kind of movie is it?"

Wu Qiming said: "It's similar to the movies you've made. It's also a literary romance film. If you can play Red Sorghum and Ju Dou, you can definitely play our movie well."

"Literary film?" Gong Li asked, "Is there a script? I want to read the script first."

"We make movies in Xiangjiang, which is different from you in the mainland. We write scripts while filming."

"Huh? There's no script?"

"There is no need for a complicated script, all the plots are in my mind."

Seeing Gong Li's distrustful expression, Wu Qiming pointed to a man wearing glasses next to him and said, "This is a well-known screenwriter in Hong Kong. With him, he can come up with several blockbuster commercial film scripts every minute. .”

Gong Li asked: "Isn't it a literary and romantic film? Why is it a commercial film again?"

"Literary films also have to be blockbusters and make money!" Wu Qiming pointed at another charming woman and said, "She is the supporting actress in this film."

He introduced the other two men: "They are the male lead and the male supporting actor. You will act opposite them."

Gong Li looked at these people. He didn't know any of them, so he was a little hesitant.

But the other party offered her a salary of 20 yuan, so she had to be patient and asked: "Director Wu, what is the general plot?"

Wu Qiming said: "It's about a Beigu, a girl from the mainland, that's you. You came to Xiangjiang to develop, but couldn't find a good job, so you went to work in a nightclub, and slowly fell into decline, becoming a young lady... "

When Li Yunhai heard this script, he thought, why is it so familiar?

Isn't this a common routine in Hong Kong's X-rated movies?

After working on it for a long time, it turns out that Wu Qiming is an pornographic film director!

No wonder I haven't heard of this person's name.

Gong Li was not a fool. He understood it as soon as he heard it. He forced a smile and said, "Director Wu, aren't you making that kind of movie?"

"This is a literary romance film. Of course, there must be some action between men and women, otherwise how will it be popular? You have filmed Ju Dou, are you still afraid of making this kind of film? Take advantage of your reputation now and make a few films. It's more practical than anything else to get a handful of it. If you agree, I'll sign a contract with you for 20 movies for a salary of 5 yuan, and I'll give you 100 million!"

Gong Li had made movies and watched many movies. He knew what type of movie the other party wanted to make, so he couldn't help but be stunned.

Wu Qiming put his hand on her thigh: "Miss Gong, what else is there to think about? Anyway, I take off my clothes, both in the mainland and in Xiangjiang. Once you take off your clothes, you will become famous, and once you take off your clothes, you will get rich! Hehe , Miss Gong, you have such a good figure."

Gong Li was startled, screamed, stood up, pushed the chair backwards and fell down, making a loud clanking noise.

Wu Qiming's expression changed: "Miss Gong, I think highly of you and invite you to make a movie. What are you doing?"

Gong Li took a few steps back, held up his chair, and said, "I'm sorry, Director Wu, I didn't know you were going to make this kind of movie. I don't think I'm qualified for it."

Wu Qiming frowned and said in a deep voice: "I've seen you play Ju Dou! The movie we made is similar to Ju Dou. You just need to act in your true colors."

Gong Li shook his head and said: "Director Wu, Ju Dou's artistic content is very high, and it is not the kind of film you mentioned. I know this."

Wu Qiming touched his chin and looked at Gong Li's slender figure wantonly. He chuckled and said, "Artistic content? How tall is it?"

Gong Li said: "Ju Dou expresses ethical conflicts, moral shackles and desire. Whether it is composition, light and shadow, color photography, etc., they are all masterpieces of art."

Li Yunhai listened and nodded slowly, thinking that Gong Li still knew a little about movies. No wonder Lao Mouzi favored her. It turned out that they were really in the same boat.

However, although the two movies starring Gong Li were well shot, some plots were indeed eccentric.

That's why Wu Qiming thought that Gong Li was also an actress who could take off her clothes.

However, Gong Li cherishes his feathers very much.

She understands that it is easy for a woman to take off her clothes in the film and television industry, but it is difficult to put them back on.

So as soon as she heard that this kind of movie was being made, she immediately felt resistant.

Wu Qiming tried to persuade her: "Miss Gong, can you stop pretending? It's not like you haven't taken off your clothes before! It's normal to have those scenes! It's a romance film! Our script is also very in-depth, and the artistic content is three or four levels high. It's so high! You'll know when it's filmed. This kind of movie is called a romantic movie in Hong Kong and it's very popular. If you think the pay is too low, I can give you more money!"

Gong Li is also a smart man and said: "Let's do this, Director Wu, when you take out the script, I will take a look at it first. If I think I am qualified, I will discuss it with you in detail."

Wu Qiming said: "Miss Gong, you want to enter the Hong Kong film and television industry. This is an excellent opportunity for you. If you miss this time, you will never have such a good opportunity! You see, many actors in Hong Kong are filming this I grew up making movies. You can do it too!"

Gong Li shook his hand: "Director Wu, let's talk about this today! Let's make an appointment another day."

Wu Qiming suddenly stretched out his hand, took her wrist, and said, "Don't leave, sit down and drink!"

Gong Li struggled hard, but couldn't break free from his opponent's clutches.

When Li Yunhai saw this, he stood up and walked forward, grabbed Wu Qiming's wrist, squeezed it so hard that the opponent's finger bones rattled, and said in a deep voice: "Let her go!"

Wu Qiming's fingers hurt and he had to let go of Gong Li's hand.

Gong Li hid behind Li Yunhai, pulled his clothes, and whispered: "Mr. Li, I don't want to cooperate with them anymore. Please take me away."

Li Yunhai hummed.

Wu Qiming and his accomplices stood up together and blocked the way on both sides.

Li Yunhai sneered proudly: "What do you want to do? Force good people into prostitution?" (End of Chapter)
