Life 1984

Philips' sudden supply interruption has caused huge trouble to Sihai Group and will also bring immeasurable losses.

Li Yunhai absolutely cannot allow this to happen.

In mid-December, Li Yunhai took a small team from Xizhou to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is located in northwest Europe, bordering Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, the North Sea to the west and north, and the United Kingdom across the sea.

Li Yunhai and the others took several flights and finally arrived at their destination after a long and boring journey.

Several of them often go abroad to participate in various exhibitions, so they have European Schengen visas.

The Netherlands is one of the first five countries to join the European Schengen visa.

Therefore, Li Yunhai and others arrived in Amsterdam smoothly.

Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is located in the province of North Holland in the west of the Netherlands. It is the third largest city in Europe, after London and Paris.

Li Yunhai and the others stayed at the Crown Hotel, a five-star luxury modern hotel built in 1987. Located in the city center, close to the Central Railway Station and Water Plaza. The hotel is part of the ancient city of Amsterdam. There are various shopping venues, entertainment centers, and museums nearby. The hotel has convenient transportation, with subway and bus stops right outside the door.

They all came to the Netherlands for the first time. The Netherlands has a long commercial history and an international cultural background. The Netherlands was once a coachman on the sea. It is known as the land of windmills and tulips.

In the ancient city, exquisite European-style buildings can be seen everywhere, giving people the feeling of living in a real kingdom.

After Li Yunhai came, he regretted not taking Shen Xiulan on a trip here. It must have been a very romantic thing.

Some tourist areas are suitable for bringing your wife and family together, while in other areas, you must bring your lover or lover to have a better experience.

When he came this time, he only brought Zhuang Yong, Su Hong and Michiko with him.

After settling in, Li Yunhai first asked his secretary to contact the executives of Philips Company and once again confirmed the time and place of the meeting.

Negotiations between the two parties will be held at a golf club tomorrow.

Li Yunhai doesn't like golf. He prefers mountain climbing and swimming.

But he was here to negotiate, and it didn't matter whether he was a good golfer or not.

Li Yunhai and others tour the scenery of the city.

They first visited the Royal Palace, then the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.

The sky slowly turned dark.

After having dinner on the street, the four of them strolled around and enjoyed the night view.

"Mr. Li, what street is over there? The lights are so red!" Su Hong pulled Li Yunhai's hand and pointed to a street over there.

"Oh!" Li Yunhai only glanced at it and knew it was a famous red light district.

Michiko didn't have as many scruples as he did, so she said whatever came to her mind: "Secretary Su, that is the most famous custom area in the Netherlands."

"Custom area?" Su Hong still couldn't understand what it meant.

Although the degree of openness in the country is already very high, it is not yet so high that pornography is legal.

The Netherlands is a very unique country. Everything done here is legalized. It is called better management and prevents disorderly spread and illegal transactions from spreading diseases.

Michiko pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just the beauties on the window display, and there are many places where you can pay to watch the shows."

"Watching the show? Is it fun?" Su Hong asked.

Michiko said, "Just go and take a look and you'll find out."

Li Yunhai also wanted to find something new, so the four of them walked forward casually.

There are quite a lot of tourists here, but most of them just watch and don't go in to spend money.

On both sides of the street, there are countless shop windows with red lights.

What is displayed inside is not clothing and merchandise, but all kinds of coquettish and weird women.

These women wear the most fabric-saving clothing, exposing their proud bodies to the greatest extent, and attracting tourists to come in and spend money.

Su Hong reacted immediately and whispered: "What kind of place is this? Yihongyuan in ancient my country?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Almost! It's just that this kind of place is more direct and explicit. The girls in Yihongyuan don't dress like this. The high-end girls have both talents and talents, rather than just selling their body parts. .”

Su Hong blushed, but she didn't say she wanted to leave.

Anyone who comes to this drunken and glamorous world will be curious. Even if they don't go in to play, they can't help but want to walk through the street to see what kind of woman is displayed in the next window.

Su Hong said: "Isn't this capitalism too corrosive? It's simply unsightly!"

Li Yunhai made no comment on this.

Existence is reasonable?

Could it be that absurdity and grotesqueness, massacre and bullying are also justified?

But maybe most of the women in these windows are not forced?

For someone who doesn't even know where the next meal is, it seems too hypocritical and hypocritical for you to talk about etiquette, justice and integrity.

Therefore, Li Yunhai cannot comment on this.

"Is the security here particularly chaotic?" Su Hong asked.

Li Yunhai said: "It's conceivable! Even this kind of transaction is legal, do you think it can be avoided? Not only that, the cafe here not only sells coffee, but also sells contraband, with a limit for each adult Buy 5 grams. Do you think it refreshes your outlook on life?"

"Isn't it too scary?" Su Hong said in surprise, "It's unimaginable. I originally thought that Western developed countries must live a particularly rich, comfortable and leisurely life! I didn't expect it to be so chaotic."

Li Yunhai chuckled.

In a shop, I don’t know what happened. Several tattooed men beat a brown-haired man until he was covered in blood and dragged him on the ground.

No one dared to step forward and tourists just passed by as a matter of course.

The tattooed man punched and kicked him, knocking the brown-haired man to the ground, and then threw him next to the trash can, letting the sewage and dirt cover him. A mouse crawled over and bit the wound on the man's forehead twice. It turned out that there was a piece of meat on it.

This scene made Li Yunhai and others stunned.

Several people walked forward.

A tall foreign girl walked up with her hips twisted, hooked her finger at Li Yunhai, made a frivolous and provocative gesture, and asked in English: "Would you like to play?"

Li Yunhai shook his head.

The foreign girl did not give up. She wore black stockings and a thick fur coat wrapped around her upper body because she was afraid of the cold. She opened the coat and revealed a three-point style dress underneath, showing off her proud figure, and then signed up for a Very low price, stick out three fingers.

Li Yunhai still shook his head.

He knew that this kind of place was extremely chaotic, and there were people from all kinds of religions.

Let alone having fun here, if you take a few more glances, beware of people blackmailing you for dozens of dollars.

They walked quickly through the streets with flashing red lights.

Only when the noise and music were far behind her did Su Hong react from the shock.

After returning to the hotel, Li Yunhai went to take a shower.

No amount of water can burn out the heat brought by those red-light beauties just now.

He once again regretted not bringing Shen Xiulan over.

Li Yunhai changed the hot water to cold water.

The biting cold tap water instantly drowned all his dishonest thoughts.

But he couldn't stand the cold, and after only three seconds, he immediately turned the faucet back to hot water.

The figure of that tall foreign girl kept swaying in front of his eyes.

No wonder some people say this is a man’s paradise!

As long as you are not short of money, living here is indeed the ultimate enjoyment.

He came out of the shower and put on the pajamas he brought from home.

There was a knock on the door.

Li Yunhai asked who it was.

A very charming voice outside said in English: "Sir, room service."

Li Yunhai subconsciously felt that this could not be room service.

However, five-star hotels will have nightly room service, also called turndown service, or turndown.

The content of this service is different from what you imagined.

In star-rated hotels, beds are generally made in Western style. The beds are covered with bedspreads and the blankets on them are wrapped in sheets. The waiter removed the top bed cover, and then opened the top blanket and the top sheet at an angle of 35 to 45 degrees to facilitate the guests to sleep.

This is called turndown service.

Li Yunhai thought it was this kind of service and opened the door.

He was just about to say that there was no need, when he saw a beautiful and coquettish blond woman standing outside the door, posing with her hands, and there was an alluring fragrance.

Li Yunhai was startled.

The woman blew him a kiss and said, "Sir, my service is very good and the price is not expensive. Give it a try?"

Li Yunhai knew what the other party did, and thought to himself, this was the Palace Hotel, how could someone like this come to the door? This management is too bad. "I don't need it." Li Yunhai replied coldly, not wanting to give the other party a chance.

Even though he wanted to do it, he wouldn't do it so casually.

The woman's hand lightly moved across her thigh. Her slender fingers, painted with bright nail polish, stayed on the side of her leg. She grabbed the stockings and flicked them.

This action is indescribably charming!

Li Yunhai kept his eyes open.

After all, he is just a mortal, how can he stand such teasing?

At this time, a slight cough came from the corridor outside: "Mr. Li!"

Li Yunhai heard Su Hong's voice and quickly shouted: "Su Hong! I'm here!"

Su Hong walked over, looked at the blond woman suspiciously, and asked Li Yunhai, "Mr. Li, who is she?"

Li Yunhai smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't know either. She suddenly knocked on my door. I thought it was the turndown service provided by the hotel."

When the blond woman saw that there was a woman beside him, she stopped pestering him, gave Li Yunhai a wink, twisted around and left.

Li Yunhai asked Su Hong to come in and quickly closed the door.

The air is still filled with the fragrance of powder, which is confusing.

Li Yunhai was afraid that Su Hong would misunderstand, so he smiled and said, "Don't think too much. I only chatted with her for a few words and didn't do anything."

Su Hong fanned the air in front of her with her hand to dispel the strong fragrance. She bit her lip and said, "Mr. Li, you, you would rather call a woman outside to chat with you than let me accompany you? I can't accompany you. wanna chat?"

Li Yunhai groaned, shook his hands and said, "You made a mistake! Sister Su, do you have anything to do with me?"

Su Hong said: "I'll come here to help you sleep! I promised Lin Zhi that I would take good care of your daily life."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "As a big man like me, I often travel on business and I don't need you to take care of me."

Su Hong said: "Who makes you my boss? Serving you is also part of my job."

She had also just taken a shower, but she was dressed more neatly than Li Yunhai, and the skin on her face had a special rosy color that was discernible.

Li Yunhai watched her spread the quilt for him, admiring her graceful and exquisite back.

Su Hong could feel his fiery gaze and smiled slightly.

After laying out the quilt, Su Hong helped pour a glass of warm water and put it on the bedside.

After finishing her work, she seemed to have no reason to stay, but she didn't want to leave just yet.

She turned around and looked at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai looked at her calmly and without any shame.

Su Hong felt embarrassed by him. She gently stroked her hair on her temples and said softly: "I passed by that block with red lights today. My heart was ups and downs and it was hard to calm down. You said that there are so many women who are very good-looking. Yes, you have such a good figure, you are young, and you don’t have any disabilities, why do you have to do that kind of thing?”

Li Yunhai said: "There are thousands of choices in life, and there are also millions of ways to live. Don't persuade others to be good without others suffering. They have their reasons for taking that path. You laugh at them for not Be careful, maybe you can’t see through their laughter.”

Su Hong smiled and said: "What can't I see through? There are thirty-six thousand five hundred days in life, and every day is less. But no matter how short of money I am, I will not follow their path."

"Are you short of money?"

"Que, you know, I just bought a collective house. I managed to save a little money, but I used it all and borrowed a bank loan."

"This little money is nothing."

"It's nothing to you, but to me it will take many years of salary to pay it off. Sometimes, what do I want to do so hard? I might as well——"

She wanted to be like Mr. Shen, giving her body and then getting everything from you.

But she couldn't say this, so she stopped mid-sentence.

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "How about that?"

Su Hong plucked up the courage and said, "I might as well be your lover!"

Li Yunhai snorted and said with a smile: "Sister Su, you are so beautiful and versatile, how can you be my lover? This is a big joke!"

After all, Su Hong's face was not thick enough, and she couldn't throw herself into her arms. She smiled shyly: "That's all I said! You know I don't dare."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Li Yunhai took a long breath.

He was just a hair away from falling.

In this foreign country, and having just experienced so many temptations and temptations, even a normal man would not be able to hold himself back.

In this case, few people can still weigh the pros and cons, and few people can take the overall situation into consideration.

Otherwise, how can we say that a hero has a hard time being a beauty?

Even heroes are like this, but mortals are even more miserable.

Because of the time difference, Beijing time is 7 hours ahead of the Netherlands. Li Yunhai lay on the bed and tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning, at 8:30 local time, Li Yunhai was awakened by a knock on the door.

He rubbed his eyes, looked at his watch that had been adjusted to the time, sighed, and quickly got up to wash up.

Su Hong and Michiko both got up and called him downstairs for breakfast.

They made an appointment with Philips executives at 9:30 in the morning.

After a quick breakfast, they rushed to the golf course.

Set on undulating land close to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, this championship course is suitable for golfers of all abilities.

Li Yunhai and the others arrived at the club door, but couldn't get in.

The club adopts a membership system, and only members can enter by swiping their cards.

Li Yunhai asked. To become a member, you need to pay Dutch guilders equivalent to US$50.

That's just the membership fee, and it's only for one year.

If you want to spend money there, you need to pay extra.

It is impossible for Li Yunhai to pay US$50 in unjust money just because of this negotiation.

After all, it is almost impossible for them to spend money here again in the future.

Su Hong explained to the doorman that we were here to negotiate with the customer, and that the customer had made an appointment for us to meet here. Could you please be accommodating?

The doorman, who was as fat as a pig, only shook his head and strictly followed the club's requirements, repeatedly emphasizing that only members could enter.

Michiko said: "Mr. Li, let's call the people at Philips and ask them to come out to pick us up?"

When Li Yunhai looked at the time, he was about to be late. He said in a deep voice: "Su Hong, go find a phone nearby and call the people at Philips."

Su Hong agreed and asked the doorman where he could use the phone.

The guard shook his head and said he didn't know.

Su Hong had no choice but to look for a public phone everywhere.

The terrible thing is that the golf club is far away from the city center and there are few neighborhoods around it. The only service area is still inside the club.

Su Hong wandered around like a headless fly, and there was no car to use. She was so anxious that she couldn't even find a taxi.

Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Li Yunhai and the others hadn't even entered the club yet.

At this time, a luxurious sports car drove to the door of the club.

Sitting in the car were two blond foreigners, a man and a woman.

The man is in his thirties and dressed in casual clothes.

The woman is much younger, wearing tight clothes, with blond hair shawl, waist and hips, skin as white as snow, and a figure so good that people can't help but look at it more.

In desperation, Li Yunhai stepped forward and said, "Hello, are you members of this club?"

The man doesn't speak.

The woman hummed nonchalantly.

Li Yunhai said: "It's like this. We are here to meet a client, but members are required to enter. Can you please take us in? I can pay you."

The man glanced at Li Yunhai with contempt: "Do you think we are in need of your reward? We don't know what kind of person you are, so we can't take you in casually."

Li Yunhai handed over his business card and introduced his identity.

The man paid it off because he had never heard of Li Yunhai's name.

When the blond woman heard this, she asked in surprise: "Are you the boss of Sihai Group, Mr. Li Yunhai?"

Li Yunhai took out his passport and said, "I am Li Yunhai. This is my passport. It is guaranteed to be genuine."

The man asked his female companion: "Do you know him?"

The blond woman smiled and said: "I have heard that there has been a lot of news about Sihai Group recently. They invented a photolithography machine and developed a chip! I think they are really going to negotiate."

The man nodded and said to Li Yunhai: "Come with us!"

Li Yunhai thanked him, thinking that he had met a good person, otherwise the negotiation would have failed. (End of chapter)
