Hello 1983

  Chapter 555 There is a contempt chain here (ask for a monthly ticket, don’t waste it at the end of the month!)

  Although Pan Famous Brand started out as a luxury business, in the past two years, he has been moving into other fields, such as movies.

  When China and Britain were negotiating, people on Hong Kong Island were also unstable, and some capital chose to withdraw.

  Pan Mingpai's plan was to take advantage of the situation, set up a film company, and acquire theaters. In fact, his company did become one of the five major film companies on Hong Kong Island.

   I have to admit that this is a man with great vision.

  After hearing the second legend of the Golden Hand from his girlfriend, he became very interested in that young man.

  A self-made rich man is also worthy of respect.

  Even Pan Mingpai, who has a high self-esteem, borrowed one million dollars from his father at the beginning of his business.

  Especially if the other party has a golden hand who can turn stones into gold, he will definitely occupy a place in the entertainment circle in the future. This is exactly the kind of contacts that Pan Mingpai needs to make.

   I happened to meet him in a computer store, and of course Pan Mingpai would not miss this opportunity to strike up a conversation.

   Several people left the store together, and then re-introduced each other.

  When Yang Wuxing was introduced, the other party looked at Liu Qingshan with a smile: "Mr. Mountain's deeds at Boss Huo's ball that night have now become a legend."

  Liu Qingshan could only say a few polite words, and secretly laughed in his heart: This Pan Mingpai is not small, if he marries a woman with good skills as his wife, is he not afraid of being beaten?

   This is of course a joke. In fact, Yang Wuxing was born as a dancer, not a real practitioner. At least she couldn't tell that Liu Qingshan had kung fu.

  At first, Pan Mingpai thought that He Wanqing was Liu Qingshan's girlfriend, but after learning about the situation, he couldn't help being awe-inspiring, and praised Liu Qingshan as a person who values ​​love and righteousness.

  Although he knew that these words were mostly flattering, but from Pan Mingpai's mouth, it just sounds comfortable, and it's good to want to come to this guy as a friend.

  After learning that Liu Qingshan was going to order a batch of computers, Pan Mingpai also went for a walk with him. After all, it was still early for dinner.

   Everyone went into another computer store next to it, which mainly sold computers of brands such as Apple and IBM, and the prices were higher than the one just now.

   Probably recognized Pan Mingpai and his girlfriend beside him, a middle-aged manager with parted hair, who claimed to be surnamed Gu, and personally greeted the guests with a very respectful demeanor.

   "It's Mr. Liu who wants to buy computers. Manager Gu, you're worshiping the wrong god." Pan Mingpai joked with a smile on his mouth.

   "All the guests who come here are guests, especially distinguished guests like Mr. Pan and Mr. Liu. We can't even invite them." Manager Gu naturally regarded Liu Qingshan as a guest of the same level as Pan's famous brand.

  Liu Qingshan didn't need to go around in circles: "I'm going to buy a hundred computers. What price can Manager Gu give for these big brands?"

   Big business!

  Manager Gu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. These days, even in Hong Kong Island, computers are definitely high-end products, and ordinary families would not buy them.

  Of course, it is also because after buying it, it is basically useless.

   It was the first time Manager Gu met a big customer who purchased 100 units at one time.

  He wondered, which big company does this young man belong to?

  So he smiled all over his face: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, our store will definitely give you the best price."

   "If you want to work, I suggest you buy a computer produced by Wang An Computer Company. The word processing system inside is very easy to use."

   "If it is a personal adaptation, then Apple's new personal PC this year is also more convenient..."

   Manager Gu is really good at doing business. He didn't talk about the price first, but introduced the pros and cons of these computers endlessly.

  Liu Qingshan was a little fascinated, not listening, but he heard the name of Wang An Computer Company and saw the products in front of him.

   When computers were just developed, Wang An Computer was a well-known brand in the entire computer industry. Mr. Wang An has also been the richest Chinese man for many years.

  It was only after Mr. Wang An died of illness and his son took over the company that it gradually faded away and withdrew from this field.

  What Liu Qingshan thinks about is: In this era, the entire computer industry has just started, and Huaxia is not far behind.

   If you seize the time, seize the opportunity, and catch up, you will not have no chance. I don’t know, how is the computer company in the United States doing now?

   "Mr. Liu, you..."

   Manager Gu's words brought back Liu Qingshan's thoughts.

  Liu Qingshan nodded towards the other party: "This kind of keyboard and the host are integrated, and I'm not used to it. There is also a chassis. Is there a vertical one?"

   What he means is that it is best to assemble it by yourself, so that the configuration can be higher and save some money, after all, he pays for it.

   As soon as Manager Gu said it, Liu Qingshan was a little disappointed. The current computers are all complete machines. If you want to assemble them yourself, you have to wait.

  After thinking about it, Liu Qingshan still prefers to choose a personal computer, after all, this is the development trend.

   As for the price, it is still acceptable. This manager Gu gave him a 15% discount, which should have reached the limit of his rights.

   Even so, one hundred computers still cost more than three hundred thousand dollars.

   Liu Qingshan felt a little wronged by this kind of broken computer, so he asked Manager Gu to match it with two printers.

   At this time, if the printers are purchased in China, there will be tens of thousands of them.

  He Wanqing next to him was also deeply shocked by Liu Qingshan's generosity, and she also couldn't understand why this younger brother bought so many computers?

  I thought I would buy one, but it turned out to be multiplied by one hundred.

  Pan Mingpai was also a little shocked. Although he also has the courage to spend a lot of money, it is not worth it to buy a computer. Buying a famous brand is not bad, at least it can preserve its value, right?

  He guessed that when Liu Qingshan bought a computer, he would definitely have to ship it back, so he might have to pay a lot of customs duties, which is not cheaper than buying a computer.

  This is why, when the computer is shipped to China, the price has to be doubled or tripled on the basis of 10,000 yuan.

  So he decided to send a favor, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingshan, do you want me to help, the customs side, it's still a bit face-saving."

  Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hands, there is no need to worry about such a small amount of tariffs.

  Of course Pan Mingpai understood, so he didn't continue on this issue.

  Order a hundred computers at once, and this computer store doesn’t have so much in stock. It needs to go to the United States to replenish the goods temporarily. It is estimated that it will take a month before they can be shipped back.

   Calculating the time, Liu Qingshan also felt that it was about the same. He would stay here until mid-November.

   Afterwards, he asked Manager Gu to help him purchase a batch of computer-related books, including programming, and then ship them back together.

   It took more than an hour before the deal was settled. Finally, Manager Gu no longer felt pain, but put on a smile instead.

  Although I didn’t earn as much as I expected, I couldn’t stand the large amount.

  Liu Qingshan and the others were just about to leave, but they were stopped by a foreigner in the store: "Mr. Liu, please wait a moment, can I delay you for a while?"

   Manager Gu quickly introduced: "This Mr. Charlie is a technical representative sent to Hong Kong Island by a computer software company called Microsoft in the United States."

  Microsoft?

  Liu Qingshan also stopped and shook hands with the foreigner.

  The guy named Charlie also seemed very polite: "That's right, Mr. Liu, the Windows operating system developed by our company, Microsoft-Windows 1.0, is simple and fast, and can be installed for free now."

   "And try it out for half a year, within half a year, without charging any fees, are you interested?"

   It was originally for sales promotion, but Microsoft now needs to conduct business in this way.

  The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth curled up slightly, thinking it was amused.

  Of course he knows in his heart that the current Microsoft is not the behemoth it will be in the future, it is only a small company that has just gone public, and Bill is still working hard towards achieving financial freedom.

  So he said with a smile: "Mr. Charlie, you have worked very hard. In fact, even without your introduction, I would choose Windows."

   This Charlie is really sincere. Hearing what Liu Qingshan said, he immediately shook his hand excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, thank you for your trust."

   "During the use of our products, if there is any problem, please be sure to give feedback, and we will work hard to improve."

"certainly."

  Liu Qingshan also shook hands with him with a smile, but he didn't say a word: I am now the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, and of course I hope that Microsoft can develop better.

  This Mr. Charlie also looked very excited, and seriously took out a business card, and sent it to Liu Qingshan with both hands:

   "Mr. Liu, here is my email address. If you have any suggestions, you can email me. By the way, how can I contact you?"

  Liu Qingshan does have an email address, but the point is that he won’t be able to use it now.

  Charlie probably guessed it too, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, let me register your information, so that I can return to visit later."

  Return visit, it seems that the difficulty is relatively high, Liu Qingshan was about to refuse, and saw that Charlie had come to a computer that was turned on, and then opened a Word interface very skillfully.

  The content such as name and contact information has been listed above, and only need to be added.

  Since it was a questionnaire for all customers, Liu Qingshan didn't want to specialize it, so he handed over the certificate, and Charlie began to enter the work seriously.

  He stood by and took a look, feeling that the word at this time was still quite crude.

  And he also saw the icons on this computer just now, there is only one vertical row, even so, there are two or three small game icons in it.

  Liu Qingshan can only sigh: There are really too few software at this time.

  Just like the Office series of office software that will be widely used in the future, Word has only just been researched, and the rest, including commonly used spreadsheets, are still dozing in their cradles.

   "Oh, cake seller!"

  Suddenly, I heard Charlie in front of the computer exclaim.

  Then he stood up with a huff, rushed to Liu Qingshan, and shouted even more: "You, you are Mr. Mountain, from our Microsoft..."

  Liu Qingshan blinked at this guy, and quickly interrupted the other person: "You are a loyal user of Microsoft."

  Charlie is not very skilled, so he was sent here to work as a salesman.

  But his biggest advantage is that he is more concerned about these shareholders of the company. Maybe when he is free, imagine: what would happen if he were replaced by himself.

  So when I entered Liu Qingshan's information just now, the more I typed, the more familiar I felt.

  So he took a closer look at the photo, and he finally confirmed that the one in front of him was Mr. Mountain, the third largest shareholder after Bill and Allen among the shareholders of the company.

   How could he not scream excitedly?

   But after hearing Liu Qingshan's remarks, Charlie also reacted. Obviously, this mysterious Mr. Shareholder did not want to reveal his identity.

  So he nodded again and again: "Mr. Mountain, the probationary period should be increased from half a year to three years. This is already my greatest right."

  Liu Qingshan patted him on the shoulder accordingly: "Thank you Charlie. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely explain your situation to your company. You are a very hardworking and competent employee."

  Charlie was almost knocked out, and felt a sense of ecstasy. Of course, he could understand the meaning of Mr. Mountain's words.

  So he immediately straightened his back: "Mr. Mountain, our company has contacts with those manufacturers for the computer you ordered just now. I will call them later, and maybe the price can be lowered."

   After finishing speaking, Charlie happily ran to make a phone call.

   Not long after, he ran back happily and announced the good news to Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Mountain, the other party agreed to reduce the rate by 10%. This is already the maximum authority I can win."

   "Mr. Charlie, thank you very much for your hard work." Liu Qingshan felt that this Charlie was really good.

   This time, I saved another nearly 30,000 yuan, which is still in US dollars.

   "This is what I should do." Charlie nodded, humming quickly.

   This scene made Manager Gu stunned: This foreigner, it wasn't like this before, he always looked at people with his chin?

  There is a chain of contempt here: foreigners are arrogant in front of Hong Kong people.

   Then the Hong Kong people behaved in the same way in front of those mainlanders. I really don’t know, where does their sense of superiority come from?

  Pan Mingpai, who had been on the sidelines, seemed to have thought of something, and an inscrutable smile appeared on his face.

  Charlie doesn’t bother Liu Qingshan to fill out any questionnaires anymore. He can memorize those materials, so there is no need for this.

   Seeing that it was noon, Pan Mingpai was going to invite Liu Qingshan to have lunch together.

  At this time, that Manager Gu approached with a smile on his face again:

   "Mr. Liu, according to the regulations of those dealers, you need to pay a 20% deposit in advance for ordering bulk goods. We can't do anything about this. I hope Mr. Liu understands."

  Pay a deposit, how could I forget this.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he is empty-handed now.

   Not only him, but also in the company, those foreign exchange are all pressed on gold futures.

   These days, gold futures have been falling. If you withdraw funds at this time, it would be something a fool would do.

  I was thinking about it when I heard that Mr. Charlie yell at Manager Gu:

   "What deposit is needed? I will guarantee Mr. Mountain. If there is any problem, our company will be responsible!"

   Manager Gu also nodded in agreement, but secretly cursed in his heart: Did this guy take the wrong medicine today?
