Life 1984

Zhuang Yong drove his car quickly through the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, leaving the motorcycles behind him farther and farther away.

Li Yunhai told Zhuang Yong to go home directly and stop going to KTV for entertainment.

Chen Meilin also knew that it was dangerous outside and no longer asked to go out to play.

There was no words for the night, and the next day, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua came to the company.

Representatives from 16 companies interested in purchasing photolithography machines were also invited.

The company has prepared an exhibition hall to display all Sihai Group's existing products, including photolithography machines.

These 16 companies are all from various Asian countries.

Li Yunhai had seen the information of these companies before, but when he saw the company representatives, he could tell at a glance that there were two Japanese people among them.

He asked Guo Wanhua: "Sister Guo, how come there are Asians?"

Guo Wanhua said: "I don't know. Can't there be Japanese people?"

Li Yunhai said: "There are two photolithography machine manufacturers in Japan. It is impossible for them to buy our products. I suspect they have an ulterior motive for coming here."

Guo Wanhua asked what to do?

Li Yunhai said to introduce the product to the customers first!

Guo Wanhua stepped forward with a smile, greeted the company representatives, then invited them to visit the lithography machine, and explained various parameters of the lithography machine to them. Then he took out the chips produced by the photolithography machine and showed them to everyone.

Someone asked if I could test the machine?

Guo Wanhua said yes.

During the test, a short Japanese man suddenly asked: "Mr. Guo, where did your photolithography machine technology come from?"

Guo Wanhua said: "Of course it was independently developed by our company."

Dongyang Rendao: "Our company has cooperated with Nikon. I see that the photolithography machines you produce are very similar to Nikon. I heard that you have also purchased Nikon's photolithography machines. Are you counterfeiting Nikon products? ?”

There was a small commotion at the scene.

Li Yunhai stared at the Japanese man sternly, and then said calmly: "Sir, since you know very well about Nikon's products, let me ask you, what is the original resolution of Nikon's latest machine in nanometers? ?”

This Japanese man is really short, only about 500 meters. When talking to Li Yunhai, he had to look up. He replied firmly: "Of course I know, nanometers!"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Mr. Guo just introduced that the original resolution of our lithography machine is 400 nanometers. Everyone knows that the original resolution of the lithography machine represents the real technology of the lithography machine. We are a global The first company to reach 400 nanometers. Our technology is more advanced than Nikon. Is it necessary for us to imitate Nikon? This is like saying that a student who scored 98 points copied a student who only scored 59 points. Say it Do you believe it?"

Other business representatives nodded.

The short man from Japan frowned, his eyes widened like two lanterns, staring at the Sihai lithography machine, obviously very unconvinced, but unable to say anything to refute.

Sihai Group's photolithography technology is more advanced than Nikon's. How can an advanced enterprise imitate a backward enterprise? If the debate continues, there will be no result, and it will even make people suspect that there is something wrong with this person's mind.

After the introduction, several people on the spot were willing to sign the purchase order.

What surprised Li Yunhai even more was that the short man from Japan just now also placed an order.

Li Yunhai checked specifically and found that the company Dongyangren worked for was a technology company in Singapore.

Guo Wanhua continued to promote photolithography machines to others.

Finally a few more people placed orders.

Out of 16 customers, 11 placed orders, and the remaining five said they would go back and think about it.

This result is not bad.

Li Yunhai signed a purchase letter of intent with the customers and then invited everyone to dinner.

After the meal, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua returned to the company.

Guo Wanhua said: "Yunhai, that Japanese guy who purchased our machines probably took it back to study to see if we were counterfeit Nikon products. Otherwise, we wouldn't sell it to him. Anyway, we have only initialed an intention agreement. "

Li Yunhai had a different idea: "Sell it to them! If they want to study it, just study it. If we sell one more machine, we can earn tens of millions more. Why not?"

Guo Wanhua said: "Aren't you afraid that they will find this counterfeit evidence and then sue us?"

Li Yunhai said: "Don't be afraid. Our technology is all our own. When it comes to counterfeiting, they also copied the Americans. Everyone is copying, it just depends on whose technique is better."

Guo Wanhua said: "What if we get into a lawsuit?"

Li Yunhai said: "It's not a big deal if we get into trouble. We achieved the technological breakthrough ourselves. At worst, I won't sell it to them, Dongyang. Anyway, I never thought about doing this business with the Dongyang people."

Guo Wanhua felt relieved when she saw that Li Yunhai spoke so firmly.

In the afternoon, Guo Wanhua accompanied Li Yunhai to inspect the new building in Causeway Bay.

This building is named Sihai International Center. The podium is used for shopping malls and the floors above are used for offices.

The building has established a management company, which is managed by Sihai Xiangjiang Company.

Because it is about to open, the building is full of people. Various brands that have settled in are making their final entrance displays. Many companies have already moved into the office building upstairs.

Li Yunhai finished his inspection and it was evening.

He and Guo Wanhua returned home and were hugged by Chen Meilin as soon as they entered the door.

"Brother, why did you come back?" Chen Meilin said, "I have something to ask you."

Li Yunhai asked: "What's the matter?"

Chen Meilin smiled and said: "Eat first, and I will talk to you in the evening."

After dinner, Chen Meilin took Li Yunhai to the next door.

Guo Wanhua said: "Meilin, what do you want from Yunhai? Are you still hiding it from me?"

Chen Meilin said: "We are talking about business, don't come over and eavesdrop!"

Guo Wanhua smiled and shook her head.

Li Yunhai took Chen Meilin into his house.

It turned out that Chen Meilin had found a good investment project and wanted Li Yunhai to invest in it.

Li Yunhai asked her what kind of project it was?

Chen Meilin said: "Brother, I heard from a friend that the British are going to build a new airport in Hong Kong with a total investment of more than 100 billion! The new airport project is definitely a good project that will make a profit without losing any money! Brother, we can Invest more funds, whether it’s one billion or tens of billions.”

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Meilin, stop dreaming, this project cannot be successful."

"Why? This is what the Hong Kong government wants to do. Are you afraid that it won't succeed?"

"How much money does the Hong Kong government have in its finances? They definitely can't provide more than 100 billion, they can only raise financing and loans. If they finance, they can raise 10 to 20 billion, I believe it is possible. If they have more than 100 billion, they can only Rely on bank loans.”

"That's okay. It's popular to buy houses with loans now. It's also feasible for them to take loans to build an airport. Building an airport is understandable. You see, Kai Tak Airport is very old, and accidents of varying degrees often occur, so we need to build a new airport. It’s a very reasonable thing. I think this project will definitely be successful.”

"Then do you know how much fiscal revenue there is in Xiangjiang?"

"I don't know."

"I know better than you, it's probably only a few billion. The more than 1000 billion to build the airport almost all depends on external forces. This more than billion is a huge sum of money for the Hong Kong government, and it needs installment loans to support it. The construction of the entire airport. This means that in just a few years, this loan will not be repaid at all. So after the return, who should repay this loan?"

"Huh? I didn't expect this."

"Also, if we invest, will our investment go to the British? Or to the Hong Kong government? When the British leave and do not recognize our investment, who should we ask to reason?"

"So the risk is very high?"

"Let me tell you, this project cannot succeed. Let alone us, even the banks in Hong Kong cannot lend money. No one is a fool. The richer people are, the more cautious they are and will not make large investments easily."

"Why did the British propose to build an airport?"

"If I'm not wrong, they did this deliberately and wanted to leave a huge debt to our country. How much did it cost to build the airport? No one will know then. Once the British leave, who will we go to settle the accounts? But the airport is For Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang still has to repay the loan. With a debt of more than 100 billion, how long do you think it will take to pay it off?"

"Brother, you are so powerful. You even saw through the British conspiracy."

"When things happen, think more! Don't listen to the wind. If you want to be an investor, you must learn to analyze current events and see the essence through the phenomena. When you see the benefits, you must also see the risks of the project. .”

"I got it, brother." "I think what you told me last time, the idea of ​​investing in a movie is still feasible. Now the film market in Hong Kong continues to rise, and movies by people like Li Yili and Li Yiliu in two weeks , as long as the script is decent, the box office will be guaranteed, and at least it won't lose money. You can try investing."

"Brother, we agreed to go to the KTV last night, but we didn't go. Shall we go and have fun now?"

"There's nothing interesting in KTV. It's better to watch TV series at home."

"Watching TV at home is a life only for the elderly. We young people should go outside and play. Let's go!"

Li Yunhai sat still.

Chen Meilin took his hand and pulled it out.

Li Yunhai was annoyed by her noise, so he had to say: "When you go out to sing, you need a lot of people to make it lively. Please call Wu Wenfang and Qiu Shuzhen! Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for a long time."

Chen Meilin said: "Brother, you are really powerful. The women you know have all won the rankings in the Hong Kong beauty pageant. The most powerful one is Yuan Yongyi. She won the Miss Hong Kong title last year and also won the She won the title of Miss Photogenic!"

Li Yunhai said: "I heard them talk about it on the phone. I have been too busy in the past two years. I rarely come to Xiangjiang and have little contact with them."

Chen Meilin said: "Qiu Shuzhen and Yuan Yongyi are doing pretty well in the entertainment industry, but Wu Wenfang is not doing so well. I heard that she offended TVB executives, and because her contract expired, her contract was not renewed. , she is now a free person, or unemployed.”

"Do you have regular contact with them?"

"No need to contact us, Xiangjiang is only so big. Just read the newspaper and you will know everything. As a public figure in Xiangjiang, there is no privacy at all. My mother has been followed by paparazzi before."

“Why are the paparazzi following your mommy?”

"Because someone spread rumors that An An is not my father's posthumous son. Those reporters are waiting for my mother every day, trying to find An An's biological father!"

Li Yunhai was startled.

Guo Wanhua never mentioned these things to him.

Chen Meilin said: "No matter which man my mother comes into contact with, even if they just have a meal or a cup of coffee together, whether they are talking about work or doing something else, it will definitely appear in the newspaper the next day. I suspected at the time that An An was He’s not my father’s posthumous son anymore. It’s really like everything is under control! It’s very scary!”

Li Yunhai sighed leisurely.

He now understood why Guo Wanhua suddenly wanted to stay away from him.

By doing this, Guo Wanhua was not only protecting herself and her children, but also protecting Li Yunhai.

If something was really captured by the paparazzi and made public, both the families of Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua would be torn apart.

Reporters in Xiangjiang only want topics and eyeballs, but they don’t care who you are.

Even for Hong Kong's top celebrities and rich men, reporters dare to expose their family affairs, scandals and gossip.

What's more, Li Yunhai is just a businessman from the mainland, and the reporters in Xiangjiang will not take him seriously.

Li Yunhai rarely comes to Xiangjiang and doesn't read much news here. He asked: "Meilin, what happened next? Did the reporters find any evidence that your mother cheated?"

"Of course not!" Chen Meilin said with a smile, "My mommy said that she will never find another man for my brother and me. She will only have one husband in her life, and that is my dad! Those boring things Xunde has been tracking a lot, but no evidence has been found, and now we don’t track my mommy much anymore.”

Li Yunhai frowned, his face gloomy.

Chen Meilin was very happy and called Wu Wenfang.

When Wu Wenfang heard that Li Yunhai had come to Xiangjiang, she was so happy that she said she would come right away.

Chen Meilin asked her to bring some friends over to play in the KTV.

Wu Wenfang said that Qiu Shuzhen and Yuan Yongyi were both filming and were unavailable. She also said that I should bring a friend over!

Chen Meilin said we should meet at Diamond KTV.

Wu Wenfang said yes.

The Diamond KTV that Chen Meilin was talking about is in Causeway Bay.

When Li Yunhai and Wu Wenfang arrived, Wu Wenfang and her two friends had already arrived.

These two people are also from the entertainment industry, and Li Yunhai knows them both.

The man is the singer Zhang Xueyou, who has long been famous and has made great achievements in both the music and film circles.

The woman is Li Ruotong, who has just debuted and has no successful works yet.

Wu Wenfang introduced them to Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai shook hands with Zhang Xueyou and Li Ruotong, then walked into the KTV together and opened a box to sing.

Zhang Xueyou has a gentle and sincere personality, and he got along well with Li Yunhai, and the two quickly became friends.

Li Ruotong is approachable, easy-going, and has a cheerful personality. She is completely different from the Little Dragon Girl she later starred in. She is more like a cute sister next door.

Wu Wenfang hasn't been able to get any roles recently, so she and Zhang Xueyou are learning to sing, hoping to fulfill her dream of becoming a singer.

It's a pity that the album she put all her efforts into producing and releasing did not arouse any response, not even a bubble emerged.

Continuous career failures made Wu Wenfang doubt whether she was suitable for a career in the entertainment industry.

She told Li Yunhai that she was particularly confused and didn't know which way to go.

Li Yunhai said that your personality is too strong and you are not suitable for development in this circle. If you believe me, you should quickly find a suitable rich man to marry while you are young and somewhat famous, and then you can raise your husband and raise your children to become a wealthy wife. You must be very handsome with such a chubby face.

Wu Wenfang said dumbfounded, "Brother, I'm your god-sister, and you're just giving me advice like this?" You won't give me a hand either? I don’t want to get married so soon!

Li Yunhai said, "Then I'll give you another chance. Meilin plans to invest in a movie. Ask her for a role!" If you are still not popular, then I can't help you.

Zhang Xueyou smiled and said: "Mr. Li, you want to invest in a new movie? Ask me to play the leading role! I am very good at acting. I have won the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award, but unfortunately they were all Best Supporting Actor Awards. You Give me a chance, maybe I can win the Best Actor Award!"

Li Yunhai quite liked watching movies starring Zhang Xueyou and said, "Okay, Xueyou, you can play a role, but you can only play a supporting role because you can't be the protagonist of a movie."

Zhang Xueyou said: "Can I only play the role of the thousand-year-old second child?"

Everyone laughed.

Li Ruotong pursed his lips and smiled, hesitating to speak, but finally mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Li, can I play a role?"

Li Yunhai said: "Of course, you are the kind of artist who can be the heroine. If you can schedule it, you can contact Mei Lin and let her make arrangements."

Li Ruotong said in surprise: "Am I playing the heroine? Really? Thank you Mr. Li! I told my fortune this morning, and blind man Chen said that I would meet a noble person when I went out today, and I really did! Mr. Li, you are my noble person. .”

Li Yunhai said: "Do you believe in fate? Then let me give you a message: you will be hurt by love in your life and die alone. If you see through it earlier, you might be able to change your fate against the will of heaven."

Li Ruotong smiled and said: "I don't have a boyfriend yet, nor have I ever been in love. Mr. Li, isn't it too early for you to do this to me? If I like a man, I will love him wholeheartedly. I leave everything to him, so I believe that my future love and marriage will be wonderful."

Li Yunhai smiled and said nothing.

A few people drank and sang until twelve o'clock in the evening.

When Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin returned home, they saw the Guo family's house was dark. It was obvious that Guo Wanhua and others had gone to bed long ago.

Chen Meilin said: "Brother, should I sleep with you? Don't wake up my mommy and the others."

"Okay." Li Yunhai said, "It's just that I don't have your clothes here."

"I'll wear yours." Chen Meilin smiled sweetly.

She drank some wine, and a touching blush appeared on her fair face, making her look even more pretty and charming.

Li Yunhai vaguely saw the shadow of Guo Wanhua in her body.

Thinking of the love he had with Guo Wanhua in the past, he couldn't help but feel hot and unbearable.

He looked at the second-floor window of Guo's house.

Chen Meilin pushed him into the room: "Brother, I really want to sleep!" (End of Chapter)
