Life 1984

Li Yunhai didn't know what to say to Michiko for a while, and remained silent for a long time.

The end justifies the means, and it is for his company, and the person who benefits is himself, so why not do it?

In fact, it doesn't matter what method Michiko uses, as long as it can win the contract, Sihai Group will win, and the negotiations between Li Yunhai and Philips will be more confident.

Michiko was on the other end of the phone and couldn't hear Li Yunhai's answer. She thought there was something wrong with the line, so Moximo said a few words and hung up the phone.

After hearing the busy signal on the phone, Li Yunhai silently put down the phone and called Kelen.

Coren's phone calls went unanswered.

Li Yunhai gave up and thought about talking about it tomorrow!

Blizzards have fallen across large areas of the Netherlands, and the old and new cities of Amsterdam have been covered in white snow.

Li Yunhai and Su Hong had just returned from playing in the snow in Fengche Village. At this moment, they had no interest in walking in the sewage with others on the city roads.

In the evening, Bella did not come as promised, but she called and explained that she had something to do and had returned to The Hague.

Li Yunhai expressed his understanding.

The relationship between the two of them lasted only last night, which was considered satisfactory.

The next morning, Li Yunhai took a nap.

Snowy winter is especially suitable for sleeping. You don’t want to do anything but just lie in bed and enjoy the warmth.

Su Hong came over and called him several times, and then he lazily got up and went downstairs to have breakfast.

"Mr. Li, should we go to Philips Company to negotiate?"

"not going."

"Ah? Then we don't want this contract?"

"Well, Michiko negotiated a contract in Toyo. She called me last night and said that the purchase and supply contract had been successfully signed."

"Michiko is so powerful? We talked for so long and couldn't win it, but she won it as soon as she took action?"

"Yes, she is indeed very powerful!" Li Yunhai smiled self-deprecatingly, "Whatever we can't do, she can do it just by talking about it."

"Mr. Li, then you must reward her and promote her."

"Well, when she comes back, I will give her a promotion and a salary increase."

"Mr. Li, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? You haven't recovered from your cold yet? I think you're not in good spirits."

"I am fine."

Su Hong was still a little worried about him, so she stretched out her hand and put it on his forehead to try, and found that there was nothing abnormal.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Sister Su, why are you like my mother?"

Su Hong's pretty face turned red and she said, "Am I that old?"

Li Yunhai said: "It's not that I am old, but that I care about me like my mother. After I entered the society, no woman has ever cared about me so considerately, not even Lin Zhi. You are really good to me. Yes, I was very moved.”

Su Hong smiled shyly.

After the meal, the two went shopping nearby and asked if flights had been resumed.

They bought tickets to return to China tomorrow.

Back at the hotel, as soon as I walked into the lobby, I saw Colon.

Kelen brought several people to look for Li Yunhai, but they couldn't find him. When he asked if the room had not been vacated, he waited in the lobby.

Li Yunhai walked over calmly.

Colen asked: "Mr. Li, where have you been?"

Li Yunhai said: "Let's buy air tickets and return to China after flights resume tomorrow morning."

Kelen said: "Mr. Li, when will the negotiations between us continue?"

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said, "No need to talk!"

Kelen said: "Mr. Li, don't you want the parts provided by our company?"

Li Yunhai said: "Mr. Kelen, I have said before that the reason why we come to you to negotiate is not because we can't find other partners, but because we want to continue to cooperate with you. It's a pity that your attitude makes me so disappointed! "

Kelen was stunned and speechless, and explained feebly: "Mr. Li, I think there is a misunderstanding between us."

Li Yunhai said: "I don't care how you treat guests, but I can feel whether your attitude towards us is good or not. I don't want to cooperate with you anymore!"

"Why? Don't you want the parts we supply?"

"Mr. Colen, I think you must understand one thing: Philips is the only manufacturer that can supply these parts around the world. There are companies in Japan, Germany, the United States and other countries that can provide them."

"Mr. Li, are you saying that you have found other cooperative manufacturers?"

"Yes, Mr. Colen, I am happy to tell you that we have negotiated other contracts. Of course, there are people who care about the business partners you don't want to cherish."

"This?" Colen asked with a face full of shock, "Who is it? Who has negotiated cooperation with you?"

"Please forgive me for having no comment. This is our company's business secret." Li Yunhai said plausibly.

Colen groaned, raised his unruly face, and glanced unconsciously at a 45-degree angle. His expression was as proud as ever, but he could no longer intimidate Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai's attitude towards Kelun has undergone a 180-degree change.

He came here with sincerity and was ready to renew his contract with Philips, but he was repeatedly treated coldly and even unfairly.

Li Yunhai had no choice but to beg Colon.

Now that Michiko has successfully won the supply contract from the Japanese, Li Yunhai can finally feel proud in front of Column and no longer has to care about the Westerner's face.

Su Hong raised the ticket in her hand and said: "Mr. Kelen, we will return to China tomorrow. We no longer need your parts. You can sell them to whomever you want to keep!"

She became angry when she thought about what had happened before when Li Yunhai accompanied them to play golf and swim in ice water in order to ask Column to do something.

Now that she finally has a chance to regain her position, Su Hong certainly wants to vent her anger.

Kelun suddenly stretched out his arms and blocked Li Yunhai's path.

Li Yunhai asked calmly: "Mr. Kelen, why are you blocking my way?"

"No, no, no," Coren said a little incoherently, "Mr. Li, please stay, I have something to tell you."

"I guess there's nothing left to talk about between us."

"Mr. Li, we can still discuss cooperation."

"I remember you said that it is a transaction between us. Each of us has to come up with matching chips to obtain the corresponding conditions of the other party."

"Yes. That's what I said. We can continue to cooperate."

"But we no longer need your chips."

Li Yunhai's sharp answer gave Coren 10,000 points of critical damage.

"But, Mr. Li, we need your chip technology." Colen finally said what was in his heart.

Li Yunhai said arrogantly: "You want our chip technology? There's no need to discuss this! Unless you can exchange it for equivalent technology."

After saying that, he walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Kelun chased after him, but was stopped by Su Hong and Zhuang Yong.

Su Hong raised her head slightly and said: "Mr. Kelen, if you want to cooperate with us, please come to Xizhou to see us, Mr. Li! By the way, you must remember to make an appointment before coming. Don't worry, as long as Once we agree to your reservation, we will never let you go. Because our Sihai Group is an honest and trustworthy company. Goodbye!"

Kelun was beaten hard and watched in shock as Li Yunhai and Su Hong entered the elevator door.

When they gave Li Yunhai a cold reception, how could they have thought that they would be where they are today?

If they had been open and honest from the beginning and showed sincerity in negotiating with Li Yunhai, the two families would have reached a cooperation long ago.

In this situation, Colen is guilty. His cleverness was misled by his cleverness. He originally wanted to embarrass and disgust Li Yunhai and take advantage of him before negotiating terms, but he shot himself in the foot.

Coren turned around dejectedly and let out a long sigh.

Colleagues asked, “What should we do?”

Kelen said: "Reporting to the superiors, we failed to obtain the authorization for the Longteng chip."

A colleague said: "Colen, the board of directors has repeatedly emphasized that we must discuss chip authorization!"

Colen's fiery temper broke out instantly: "Did you see it? It's because he doesn't want to talk to us! It's not that I don't want to talk to him!"

"Colen, your previous arrogant attitude has indeed hurt Mr. Li Yunhai. We need to explain the situation to the board of directors!"

"You, what do you know? I made a strategic decision!"

"Regardless of your decision-making, your outcome is failure."

"I will still find a way!"

"What can you think of? I think Mr. Li is no longer qualified for you. The company must assign another talent to take over this project." "Talent? Abt, when you say talent, do you mean yourself?"

“If the board appoints me to take over, I think I will succeed!”

"Abut, your ambition is too great! You can't replace me! Never!"

"See you at the board meeting, my boss Coren!"

Abt puffed out his chest, swung his sleeves and walked away.

Coren gritted his teeth, and his triangular eyes seemed to be emitting a cannibalistic light.

He said to the secretary beside him: "Contact Mr. Case immediately."

The secretary asked: "BOSS, who is Mr. Keyes?"

Colen glared at him sternly, not wanting to rely on this useless secretary anymore, but quickly walked to the front desk and dialed a number using the front desk phone.

However, Keys returned to The Hague with Bella and declined Cologne's invitation.

Coren put down the phone, sighed, loosened his tie, turned around and left cursing.

The next day, Philips executives held a meeting.

At the meeting, Abt complained about Colen's major crimes, placing all the blame on Colen for offending Li Yunhai, losing overseas customers and orders, and disrupting the yellow chip negotiations.

As Coren's first deputy, Abt had long disliked the boss and wanted to replace him.

Now the time has finally come, and Aibt will use his killer move to kill the boss.

Of course, Kelen couldn't just sit back and wait for death. He argued hard and argued that all his interactions with Li Yunhai were correct. His plan to survive the eagle almost succeeded, but he didn't know why it suddenly failed. His only wrong calculation was that he did not expect that Li Yunhai would find a third partner.

Aibte said that all the mistakes were made in Cologne. It was he who offended Mr. Li from Sihai Group. Mr. Li returned to China today. He has deep resentment towards Cologne and is even hostile to our company because of this. Sihai Group is the largest semiconductor company in the East and has huge business dealings with us. We should not decouple from such a company.

After carefully listening to the opinions of many parties, the board of directors decided to appoint Aibt as the representative to re-engage with Sihai Group and start a new round of negotiations as soon as possible.

Colen was unconvinced. Although the board of directors did not remove him from his position on the spot, it no longer trusted him and would not reuse him. This is a very dangerous signal.

Once Abbot negotiates this deal, it will be a matter of time to replace Colen in the future.

However, the board of directors ignored his arguments and decided to send Abbott as a representative to Xizhou to negotiate business.

After Aibte received the order, he immediately contacted Li Yunhai.

Unfortunately, their meeting was a bit long. When he found the hotel, Li Yunhai and the others had just checked out of the room.

Abbot decided immediately and drove to the airport.

The special car he took rushed all the way from the hotel to the airport.

Aibt learned that the flight to our country had not yet taken off, but the passengers had already entered the waiting room.

He tried his best to enter the waiting room and found Li Yunhai who was waiting for his flight.

"Hello, Mr. Li!" Abot ran over and said breathlessly, "Do you remember me? My name is Abot, and I am the vice president of Philips."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Abbot." Li Yunhai nodded, "We have met before. Are you also taking this flight?"

"No, I came here specifically to see Mr. Li off."

"Send it to me? I don't think so? There is no cooperation between our two families, and there is no friendship or friendship between you and me."

"Mr. Li, on behalf of the company, I would like to express my deep regret to you for all the unfair treatment you have received in Amsterdam these days. Before this, the person responsible for contacting you was Colen. I I'm just his deputy, I can't influence his thoughts, nor can I change his approach."

Li Yunhai pondered slightly, wondering why this Abbot suddenly came over?

Aibte said sincerely: "Mr. Li, please believe me. From this moment on, I will negotiate all business with you on behalf of Philips. We are very optimistic about the future development of Sihai Group, and we are also willing to reach a deeper understanding with you." cooperate."

At this time the radio sound sounded.

Su Hong stood up and said, "Mr. Li, it's time for us to board the plane."

Li Yunhai stood up slowly and said, "Mr. Abt, we are leaving. Goodbye."

Abt followed him closely and said: "Mr. Li, I know that you came to Amsterdam this time to negotiate a cooperation with us. Originally, we should have agreed to sign a contract, enjoy a delicious lunch together, and raise a toast to celebrate." . All this was messed up by Coren. If you still want to cooperate with us, please stay and we will restart negotiations. This time, I will discuss everything with you on behalf of the company."

Li Yunhai, Su Hong, and Zhuang Yong lined up to check in.

Abt did not give up and stood beside him, lobbying non-stop.

It was Li Yunhai's turn to check the tickets soon. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Abt, I think there are no projects between us that we can cooperate on."

Abt said loudly: "Mr. Li, I will fly to Xizhou to find you. Let's make an appointment to meet!"

Li Yunhai looked at him deeply: "I will give you this opportunity. I will wait for you in Xizhou."

Abt waved his hand: "OK, see you in Xizhou!"

Li Yunhai and others finished checking their tickets and disappeared from Abot's sight.

Abbot called the company back, explained the situation to the board of directors, and applied to go to Western State.

The board approved his application.

Aibt has never been to my country before. If he wants to go to Xizhou, he must first obtain a visa from my country.

Philips has investments in my country. It established its first joint venture in my country in 1985 and has become one of the largest investment partners in my country's electronics industry.

Therefore, it is very easy for Aibt to get a visa to come to our country. The company sends him to our country on a business trip, so he can get the visa as quickly as possible.

But it will be at least half a month before he comes to Xizhou.

And Li Yunhai had already returned to Xizhou.

After Li Yunhai returned to Xizhou, he took out the specialties he bought in the Netherlands and gave them to Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan.

"Wooden shoes?" Lin Zhi laughed so hard, "These shoes are very clumsy. Who would wear these? Modern people are all about comfort when wearing shoes."

"I know, why don't you buy this as a souvenir?"

"What's so good about a pair of wooden shoes? They take up a lot of space at home!"

"You don't like it? Then I'll throw it away!"

"Don't throw it away. Just put it away after you buy it! At least, let it sit for a few days before throwing it away."

Li Yunhai was speechless.

After receiving the same gift, Shen Xiulan was very happy and loved it.

Shen Xiulan held the wooden shoes in her hands and said with a smile: "The wooden shoes are gifts given by the Dutch to their relatives and friends in daily life. If someone gives you a pair of wooden shoes that you can just wear, it means that you are his most noble friend. "

Li Yunhai exclaimed: "You have never been to the Netherlands, how do you know?"

While trying on wooden shoes, Shen Xiulan said: "When I was learning foreign languages, I learned about the customs and habits of major countries around the world. The Netherlands is one of the important countries in Europe, so of course I have to get involved."

"Awesome! As expected of a master's student!" Li Yunhai said in admiration.

Shen Xiulan put on her wooden shoes and walked in front of Li Yunhai.

The wooden shoes fit her feet well, as if they were custom-made for her.

Shen Xiulan's eyebrows were full of smiles, and she admired Li Yunhai's intentions.

But these shoes were really not suitable for walking. Shen Xiulan just walked around the living room twice before she became unsteady and swayed.

Li Yunhai hugged her and said with a smile: "Don't put it on, take it off!"

Shen Xiulan fell into his arms.

Li Yunhai hugged her, and the two kissed passionately.

"Hey, I heard that the Netherlands is very open. After playing there for so long, have you found a confidante or two?"

"No! How can it be so easy to find?" Li Yunhai said with some guilt.

"Did you lie? You must have!"

"Yes, yes, I even found a princess and had a night of passion! Do you believe it or not?"

"Princess? A princess from a KTV, right? Or a princess from a dance hall? How much does it cost per night?"

"Uh?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that you would fall so low as to find a princess!"

"Hey, the princess I said is a real princess. The Netherlands is a kingdom and there are real princesses!"

"Hehe! A real princess? Then invite her over and let me see what she looks like!"
