Life 1984

That afternoon, Li Yunhai finished his work and took the car home.

The sky was overcast, foggy, and drizzling. There is a lot of rain in spring in Jiangzhou. It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but it is very inconvenient for citizens who cycle and walk.

Lin Zhi had come back and was preparing meals with Ding Miao and Zhang Guifen. When she saw him coming back, she put down what she was doing, took his briefcase, and asked, "Why are you back so late?"

Li Yunhai said while changing his shoes: "We had another meeting later. Our cooperation with Xerox expired, and Xerox informed us that it would no longer cooperate with us."

Lin Zhi was surprised: "You won't cooperate with us? What's going on? Then our company can't produce copiers?"

"I guess the Americans and the Japanese have negotiated to suppress our company, so they took away Xerox's technology."

"Because we can produce photolithography machines?"

"Yes, our lithography machine has a cost-effective advantage. If it is really promoted globally, it will definitely take away most of the share."

“Aren’t the United States and Japan fighting a trade war?”

"There are conflicts between them, but that does not prevent them from uniting to deal with us. In the field of lithography machines, they have common demands. I estimate that this is just the first round of suppression."

"Now that we're at this point, how else can they suppress us?"

"There are too many ways to suppress it, such as banning our products from being exported to their countries, and for example not allowing Intel to license us anymore."

“Isn’t it said that technology knows no borders?”

"You are thinking too much! There is a word in this world called double standards. If our technology is leading, they will say that technology knows no borders and ask us to share technology. If it is their leading technology, they will restrict technology exports. Americans have long ago They landed on the moon, who did they share the moon landing technology with?”

"This is pure bullying!"

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. As the old saying goes, it is better to have your own father and mother, and it is better to have one upstairs than downstairs. It seems that we have to speed up the launch of the X64 chip! When the 386 chip authorization expires, will we be able to produce it again in the future? It’s all unknown.”

Daughter Li Yanxi was sitting on the bench and drawing on the coffee table.

Li Yunhai sat down on the sofa, looked down at his daughter's paintings, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xi, from now on, you have to go to the desk to do homework and draw. You can easily injure your back lying down like this."

"Dad, I like to lie here and draw. Dad, do I draw beautifully?"

"It's beautiful! Xiaoxi, do you like drawing? Do you want to learn to draw?"

"Well, I like to draw. Dad, what I drew was the boat in the park."

"Dad can tell, this is Yingfeng Bridge, right?"

"Yes."

Li Yunhai said to Lin Zhi: "Xiao Xi has a talent for painting. You can send her to learn painting."

Lin Zhi said: "But I want her to have a happy and playful childhood instead of spending it in a bunch of training classes."

Li Yunhai said: "Learning a hobby is not enough. Learning for an hour and a half every day will not delay her happy childhood."

Lin Zhi said: "Yeah, that's okay. Then find a suitable teacher to teach you. Please come to your home to teach."

Li Yunhai said yes.

Lin Zhi glanced at him and said, "Is Xiulan's suggestion really that good?"

"It's good. You see, people in Asia always use traveling abroad to attract people, and it really works."

"Yunhai, I don't think we can do this. This is a disguised form of bribing those corporate executives!"

"I know it's not good to do this. But times are different now. If we don't do this, and others do, we will be the ones who suffer, and we will be the ones who can't get orders."

"Isn't it good to be honest and shady? We ask for the cooperation of relevant national ministries and commissions to open up the domestic market."

"Ministries and commissions can control the procurement plans of military and state-owned enterprises, but not private and private enterprises. You also know that the reform of state-owned enterprises is accelerating. Needless to say, most state-owned enterprises will be restructured. How many orders can we get by then? Besides, Now, we are looking for leaders of ministries and commissions. Do you think it’s that simple? This is also a disguised way of going through the back door and building connections. In my opinion, it is better to invite corporate executives to go on a trip. At most, it will only cost a few dollars and no favors will be owed. "

Lin Zhi said angrily: "I will start my vacation tomorrow to prepare for the birth! Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I go to the company or not!"

"Okay, I told you a long time ago, you should rest."

"You wish I wouldn't go to the company, right?"

"I never said that."

"That's what you think. In your eyes, I can't compare to Xiulan in anything. She knows more foreign languages ​​than me, and she understands both finance and sales. She gave birth to a son, and I gave birth to a daughter!"

"Ling Zhi, you are right. I have never compared you with Xiulan."

"Do you dare to say that you have never compared? If you had no comparison at the beginning, why did you abandon her and choose me? Isn't it because I have better conditions than her? Now that time has changed, you have changed your mind."

"Hey! What's this? What do you mean I abandoned Xiulan and chose you? I only got together with you after we officially broke up, okay?"

"Anyway, this is how you feel to me. You used to obey my words, but since Xiulan gave birth to a son, your attitude has changed. You keep saying that you like your daughter, but in fact you still care more about your son."

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of my daughter?"

Li Yanxi stared at them with her big black eyes.

Lin Zhi touched her daughter's head and shut her mouth.

Li Yunhai didn't expect his wife to have such a big reaction. Thinking of what Shen Xiulan said during the day, he couldn't help but think that women really understand women better!

Maybe it's because she's pregnant and about to give birth?

Li Yunhai didn't think much about it. He softened his tone and said, "I can understand that you are about to give birth and are in a bad mood. But I have to make one thing clear. In my heart, you and my daughter will always be my best. Important relatives are closer than my parents!"

Lin Zhi said: "Then in today's meeting, why did you reject my proposal and agree to Xiulan's proposal in front of everyone?"

Li Yunhai laughed dumbly, held her hand, and said with a smile: "Wife, we were discussing work, not the individual. You were not such a stingy person before."

Lin Zhi also felt that she was being unreasonable and pouted: "Then you know that I have a bad temper, so you can't give in to me? You can accept both options. Wouldn't it be better to have a two-pronged approach?"

Li Yunhai kissed her forehead: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I will definitely take care of your feelings in the future. You are a lady, so you should be bolder. Don't be angry, okay?"

Lin Zhi borrowed the donkey to get off the slope and said yes.

After dinner, Li Yunhai received a call from Liu Jie.

"Brother, come out and play! There is a new group of girls in the store. They are of high quality and will suit your taste."

"I said Liu Jie, who do you think I am? Am I a person who specializes in cannibalism?"

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding, come sit down, have a drink and sing a little song."

"I want to spend time with my wife, so I don't have time. I said your Xiao Wen just gave birth, and you're not at home with her?"

"Brother, I have resigned from my job now and am focusing on running this industry. After I have a son, my family's expenses are bigger, and I have to work harder to make money. There are people taking care of my family, so I am not needed. Don't worry about your mother-in-law, come out! "

Li Yunhai looked at his wife.

Lin Zhi said, "You can go if you want. My feet are all over you, and I didn't stop you."

Li Yunhai said hello, put down the phone, and said to Lin Zhi: "Xiao Wen gave birth to a big fat boy for Liu Jie. This guy is very happy. He must treat me to a drink. I'll go and come back as soon as possible."

The fat boy's words almost made Lin Zhi break her guard again. She frowned and said, "Go! Go!"

Li Yunhai came to Jiangnan Meeting.

The guests here all know him and greet him with a smile.

The beautiful waiter personally took him to the box where Liu Jie was.

There were several people sitting in the box. In addition to Liu Jie, there were also the two nurse ladies whom he had met before, and there were also two unfamiliar beauties.

Liu Jie was shouting a song with the microphone, and he put his arm around Li Yunhai's shoulder, leaned into his ear and said, "I called your Xiao Xi over."

"Don't talk nonsense, she and I only have a two-way relationship."

"One time it's raw, two times it's ripe, three times four times it's hot."

"I'm not as sentimental as you. Xiao Wen knows that you are such a virtuous person, so he doesn't care if you are stricter!"

"Hehe, it's just a joke, don't take it so seriously, right? Every woman I sleep with has to be married back home, so I have to buy a building to use it. When I'm playing outside, I won't touch my emotions if I can move money."

"nausea!"

"I'm disgusted, but beautiful women are not disgusting."

As Liu Jie spoke, he pushed Li Yunhai towards Han Xiaoxi and said with a smile, "I'll leave my brother to you."

Han Xiaoxi smiled sweetly: "Hello, Mr. Li."

"You don't have to go to work tonight?"

"I work the morning shift."

Liu Jie put down the phone and said, "Come, let's have a drink."

Li Yunhai asked: "Your parents are helping you take care of your children?"

"No way! It's Xiao Wen's mother who is taking care of her. My mother likes peace and quiet the most, and she thinks the children are too noisy." "I don't understand family happiness."

"Well, my mother-in-law and I couldn't get along. We had a big fight and almost got divorced."

"Then you might as well hire a nanny. Living with elders is indeed a lot of trouble."

"How can I hire a nanny with my family's conditions? I don't even have a decent house now. I have to lay the floor at night!"

"So miserable? The dividends from Jiangnan Club are enough for you to buy a new house."

The original investment dividend method for this project was 622, Li Yunhai was 6, Gong Li and Liu Jie were both 2.

In the past few months since its opening, Jiangnan Club has earned 60 yuan, and Liu Jie can get 12 yuan, so buying a house is not a problem.

Liu Jie said that he was looking for a house and wanted to buy a villa in one step, but there was no suitable place.

Real estate in Xizhou is not as developed as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the area and type of commercial housing are not very good.

This is also the reason why Li Yunhai built his own house and villa.

Li Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Liu Jie, our company also has some villas over there in the park. If I give you one, you can afford it by paying in installments."

"Is it really possible?" Liu Jie's eyes shone brightly, "As long as you sell it, I will definitely buy it! How much is the total price? Nowadays, housing prices are not cheap. The price of a building has risen to 800 yuan per square meter. The one you have is fully decorated. The villa, the smallest villa, covers an area of ​​more than 500 square meters, and I'm afraid I may not be able to afford it in this life."

"I'll give you a set, one million yuan! We won't talk about the down payment. You give me 100,000 yuan as the down payment, and you pay back the rest slowly. We brothers, the interest doesn't count."

"Brother, you are so good! You are really closer than my real brother!" Liu Jie said excitedly, "I, Liu Jie, never dreamed in my life that I could live in a villa! Let me drink three glasses to show my respect. !”

He picked up the wine bottle, filled the glass, and drank three glasses in a row.

Li Yunhai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't get drunk."

Liu Jie burped from wine and said, "I won't thank you for your kindness. I, I will follow you from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Li Yunhai asked: "There has been no news about PC procurement in the province. Do you have any inside information?"

Liu Jie shook his head: "I have never heard of this. However, the province has always had plans to purchase PCs. Not to mention the need for modern office work now, even the PCs purchased a few years ago should be updated after so many years. It’s been replaced, hasn’t it?”

Li Yunhai said: "Yes! So I'm not surprised at all that the province wants to purchase 3 computers."

Liu Jie thought of something and said: "Brother, I can't make the decision on the province's affairs, but I will definitely tell my dad about the computer procurement for the province's banking system. The bank will also purchase computers recently!"

Why Li Yunhai was so kind to him was partly because of friendship, and partly because of the bank's purchase.

The bank's computers also need to be upgraded.

Li Yunhai gave Liu Jie some benefits, which was equivalent to repaying Liu Shitao's care.

There is no need to expose this point, each other knows it well.

Li Yunhai played at Jiangnan Club for more than an hour and then left.

When he returned home and passed Villa No. 3, he saw that the lights at Shen Xiulan's house were still on, so he asked Zhuang Yong to stop the car.

When I walked to the door, I vaguely heard the cry of a child coming from inside.

Li Yunhai knocked on the door.

Yang Xiaoying came over and opened the door and said, "Mr. Li is here."

"What's wrong with Xiao Jin? Have you been crying?"

"I have a cold, I feel uncomfortable, and I keep making trouble."

Li Yunhai walked into the living room and saw Shen Xiulan holding Xiao Jin while Shen Xiuling was feeding medicine next to her.

"Do you want to send him to the hospital?" Li Yunhai asked.

"It's okay, just a little cold." Shen Xiulan said, "This child is too stubborn. He bites his mouth tightly and refuses to drink the medicine. After finally feeding him a little bit, he pops it all out again."

When Xiao Jin saw Li Yunhai, she cried louder and stretched out her hands to him for a hug.

Seeing his son's tearful eyes, Li Yunhai felt soft, reached out and took it, held him in his arms and walked around the living room, caressing the baby's back.

Shen Xiuling chased after her to feed her medicine, but Xiao Jin slapped her in the face, almost knocking the spoon down.

"It's so difficult to take care of this child!" Shen Xiuling said dumbfounded, "It's so difficult to feed him medicine!"

Li Yunhai touched his son's forehead and said: "So, only by raising children can we know the kindness of our parents. Only after experiencing the difficulties of childbirth can we understand how difficult it was for our parents to raise us up. Fortunately, we don't have a fever, otherwise this medicine would Don't you want to feed him anymore? Let him have a nap, maybe he will be fine tomorrow."

"How can it be better without taking medicine?" Shen Xiulan said, "Give him to me and I will feed him! I don't believe he can't be fed!"

Li Yunhai said: "The child is too young, it is not good to cry so much."

Shen Xiulan didn't care about this. She took her son from his hand, held the child firmly, took the medicine bowl from her sister's hand, and when the child opened his mouth to cry, she suddenly put the mouth of the bowl in the child's mouth. Finished drinking the medicine.

Xiao Jin flattened his mouth and kept spitting out his saliva.

Although he wasted less than half of the potion, he drank a lot.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "You are still the best! When my family feeds medicine, it is just like fighting. The whole family may not be able to feed it if they go into battle together."

Shen Xiulan said: "Children should not be pampered! The more they are pampered, the more spoiled they become. Why are you here so late?"

Li Yunhai said: "I just came back from drinking with Liu Jie and saw you guys sitting in the living room. I came over to take a look."

Shen Xiulan said: "Is she not angry?"

Li Yunhai touched his nose and said with a smile: "I was angry. But I calmed him down again."

Shen Xiulan sighed: "It's good to have a husband. There will be someone to coax you no matter what."

These words stung Li Yunhai, he smiled awkwardly, said goodbye and left.

Three days later, Liu Shitao took the initiative to contact Li Yunhai and said that the provincial banking system would purchase 3000 computers, all of which would be purchased from Sihai Longteng PCs.

This is a big order worth tens of millions!

Today's computer prices have indeed dropped a bit compared to those in the 486s, but the most mainstream PC is still very expensive.

Even a brand new 286 computer can be sold for around yuan.

The 486 imported computers from IBM and Compaq cost to yuan each.

After all, the cost is there. An Intel 486 chip costs about one thousand US dollars. In addition, the price of hard drives remains high. These two things drive up the price of PCs.

Li Yunhai said that he would treat Liu Shitao to dinner.

Liu Shitao smiled and said, "Let's not be so pretentious between us. Thank you for taking care of my Liu Jie!"

Li Yunhai said yes, Liu Jie and I are equivalent to brothers of the opposite sex.

Liu Shitao pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, you can fight for the provincial purchase order in batches and defeat them one by one."

Li Yunhai thought about it and asked, "Uncle, what exactly should I do?"

Liu Shitao said: "The province said it wants to purchase 3 computers. It is not an organization or a certain unit, but a centralized procurement plan for many provincial units. In fact, many units are doing their own thing. You can first put the government together Get the orders on the side. Divide these 3 computers into dozens of orders, and it will be easier for you to handle."

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Sometimes, someone's words really outweigh your thoughts.

"Thank you uncle, I understand what to do."

"You can go to your mother-in-law first. The departments she is in charge of are definitely the easiest to take down."

"Are you afraid that there will be no separate allocation of funds in terms of government and finance?"

"Haha, don't you understand? Why was Zhao Jingwen angry at the last meeting? Why was the purchase agreement put on hold? Isn't it because the government has objections? You should have changed the direction a long time ago!"

"Okay, then I'll go door-to-door selling!"

"I still have some connections in the province. I will contact them one by one and ask them to purchase your equipment. Not only computers, but also copiers, printers, and typewriters in many units will be replaced. You can do more foreign work, and you can also Deal with them more.”

"Thank you uncle for the tip."

"Okay, bye."

Li Yunhai put down the phone and felt refreshed.

Zhao Jingwen wanted to centralize purchasing and give Compaq a meeting gift.

However, Li Yunhai divided the purchase order and broke through each one, breaking through from the bottom, causing Zhao Jingwen's plan to fail.

He thought for a moment and called Chen Hong and Zhao Jinping over. (End of chapter)
