Li Yunhai drove away the tall and thin man who was making trouble, and turned around to see Yang Huiwen walking over.
Yang Huiwen looked at the tall and thin man's back and said, "Comrade Li, do you know who he is?"
Of course Li Yunhai didn't know him, and he wasn't too familiar with Huacheng. He asked, "Manager Yang, what kind of Xiyu Company is he talking about?"
Yang Huiwen told Li Yunhai that Xiyu Company specializes in computers and other office equipment.Government agencies, enterprises and institutions here in Huacheng basically all purchase from his company.The tall and thin man who came just now is named Ye Lianxi, and he runs the Xiyu Company.I heard that this person is very good at making friends with powerful people and doing business well.The specific origin is unknown.
Li Yunhai couldn't help but think that he once sold office equipment all over Huacheng and left countless business cards and information. In the end, no unit came to him to place an order.He now understands that Huacheng's units are all purchased from Xiyu Company.
Just like the units in Xizhou, most of them will go to Sihai Group for procurement.
There are always one or two local companies in every place that can handle most of the business.
Li Yunhai couldn't help but worry about Sihai Group's business prospects in Huacheng.
Judging from Ye Lianxi's arrogance, this person must be a master who is not afraid of trouble.
Li Yunhai is not afraid of the other party causing trouble, he is doing legitimate business.
Now he just wants to open up the market in Huacheng as soon as possible.
Guo Wanhua and Lin Zhi also thought about this. What should they do if they discuss with Li Yunhai?
Li Yunhai said calmly: "Although strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, foreign monks like to chant sutras. We are immigrants, and we have technologies and products that they do not have. This is our advantage!"
Yang Huiwen provided another piece of information to Li Yunhai: "Comrade Li, I heard that the provincial office is preparing to purchase a batch of office equipment. You can go and sell it when you have time."
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Lin Zhi suggested to Li Yunhai whether Zhao Jinping should be transferred over?He is the sales manager, and he should be responsible for sales matters.
Li Yunhai believes that there are still many units in Xizhou that have not yet purchased computers. The past two years have been a critical moment for major units to purchase the first batch of computers. Zhao Jinping has been a manager at Wuyiwen for many years and has all his contacts there. Xizhou, even if he is transferred here, he will look down upon Huacheng. He will still have to develop the market from scratch. It would be more useful to keep him in Xizhou.
Now that he knew that the provincial office wanted to purchase office equipment, Li Yunhai decided to go there himself.
Guo Wanhua also thought of this and said: "Yunhai, without further ado, let's go to the provincial office now."
Li Yunhai looked at his watch and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, so he asked Lin Zhi to guard the store while he and Guo Wanhua went to the provincial office together.
Guo Wanhua owns a Rolls-Royce with a special license plate. This car and the license plate are an unimpeded pass in the mainland.As a Hong Kong businessman, she has many conveniences.
Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua took a Rolls-Royce and arrived at No. 305 Dongfeng Middle Road, Yuexiu District.
At the foot of Yuexiu Mountain, on both sides of the road, there is a provincial office and a municipal office, all of which are in the style of houses in the 50s. These buildings that have been accumulated through history have more charm and human touch than those newly built grand office buildings, and they still have a little bit of grandeur. a feeling of.
The low wall and the gate without any decoration. If there is no plaque hanging on it, people who don’t know it might think it is a local small factory!
When the gate guard saw the car, he saluted first and then stopped the car to ask.
Guo Wanhua rolled down the window, elegantly handed over a business card, and said I came to your leader Song to discuss investment matters.
The guard asked her to wait, made a phone call, and then let her go respectfully.
Li Yunhai asked Guo Wanhua, "Do you know Leader Song?"
Guo Wanhua smiled brightly: "When I first came to Huacheng, I met him twice. When we cooperated with Huacheng Copier Factory, we had dinner together."
Li Yunhai thought this was a good excuse.
The car drove into a courtyard shaded by greenery.
Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua got out of the car.
The two walked up the high steps and entered the hall.
Leader Song was responsible for attracting investment. After receiving the call from the security guard, he waited for Guo Wanhua's arrival in the office.
Guo Wanhua and Li Yunhai walked into the secretary room.
The secretary stood up, greeted them warmly, and then invited them into the office inside.
Leader Song stood up from behind the large desk, came out and said with a smile: "Mrs. Chen, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Guo Wanhua bent down slightly as a courtesy: "Hello, Leader Song."
Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Good morning, Leader Song."
Leader Song thought he was Guo Wanhua's friend or subordinate, and smiled politely: "Hello, please sit down, both of you."
The three of them sat down on the guest sofa.
Leader Song and Guo Wanhua exchanged pleasantries.
Li Yunhai sat upright, looking at the office from the corner of his eye.
His eyes fell on an inkstone on the desk.
Many leaders in this era are particularly fond of calligraphy and painting. Although some are not calligraphers or painters, their calligraphy and painting are not bad.
He also saw a picture of the rising sun hanging on the wall. The painting was as majestic as a rainbow, with a curtain of waterfalls flowing down and the red sun rising slowly in the distance.This painting is a common pattern in Chinese landscape paintings, implying that people or things are like the red sun rising in the morning, full of hope and vitality.
Guo Wanhua and Leader Song talked about the topic, saying that I am currently in the computer business. We purchase parts from the United States for assembly. The configuration is exactly the same as IBM's latest computer, but the price is half the price.I wonder if your organization has any procurement needs in this area?We can supply at a discount.
Leader Song pondered slightly, and to tell you the truth, we do have plans to purchase computers, but we have already negotiated cooperation with other suppliers.
Guo Wanhua took out the promotional materials, handed them to Leader Song respectfully with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is the configuration list for our computer assembly, with our quotation on it. For the same configuration, we are more than half the price. How many units do you want to purchase? Where’s the computer?”
Leader Song took it and took a look at the price. He was obviously startled and said, "We are doing centralized procurement this time and want to set up a regional computer center. I heard that Xizhou has already established one, so we are lagging behind. So we need to The quantity is relatively large, 1000 computers! 100 photocopiers.”
Li Yunhai thought to himself, this is a big order. If such a big order slips away from my hands, I will lose sleep!
He continued this and smiled: "Leader Song, the computer in Xizhou is looking for us to cooperate."
"Oh? Really? So, your business is quite big!"
"Leader Song, our Sihai Group is the largest office equipment supplier in China and the largest developer of microcomputer products in China. Our company not only sells computers, we also make all kinds of office equipment. We have what others have, and what others don't have. We also have them. Things like Sihai computer typewriters and Guangcai brand toner are all produced exclusively by us."
"Sihai Computer typewriter? Guangcai brand toner?" Leader Song raised his head and asked Guo Wanhua, "Mrs. Chen, why are you cooperating with Sihai Company again?"
Guo Wanhua smiled and said: "Yes, because I think Sihai Company is a real high-tech company. They have the largest microcomputer research institute in the country and have gathered the top scientific research talents in the country. When I cooperate with such a company, it is just like when I Cooperating with Huacheng Copier Factory is a wise choice."
Leader Song laughed: "Okay! I know the name of Sihai Company. In the last two Canton Fairs, Sihai Company has launched very eye-catching high-tech products, and even foreign businessmen are full of praise!"
Guo Wanhua pointed at Li Yunhai and said, "This Mr. Li Yunhai is the CEO of Sihai Group."
Leader Song then looked at Li Yunhai carefully and suddenly said: "I remember, Comrade Li Yunhai, I met you at the Autumn Canton Fair."
Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Yes. I still have fresh memories of Leader Song's style."
Leader Song sighed lightly and said: "It's a pity that you are late. We have already decided to cooperate with another company. Otherwise, next time we purchase office equipment, we will definitely come to you."
This is nothing more than a polite word. Who knows when the next time will be?
But they have made their stance clear, which is tantamount to rejection.
Guo Wanhua continued to lobby, saying that our computers are so cheap that you only need to spend half the money to buy 1000 computers. Our copiers are also very cheap. We also have second-hand copiers, each costing only [-].By cooperating with us, you can save tens of millions. Why can't you change your partner?
Leader Song looked embarrassed and said: "Mrs. Chen, this matter is a bit difficult to handle! You can't change your mind midway when you promise something, right?"
Li Yunhai knew very well that the purchaser they were working with must be Xiyu Company.
Whether it was to make money or to severely attack Xiyu Company, Li Yunhai wanted to snatch this order.
He pointed to the painting on the wall and said with a smile: "This painting is worth 20."
Leader Song laughed and said: "Comrade Li Yunhai, do you still know Chinese painting? But you are mistaken. This is not a famous painting. It is only worth 200 yuan at most!" Li Yunhai said seriously: "No, this painting The painting is worth 20. I know a North American businessman. He asked me for a large sum of money to buy a painting of the Rising Sun. He asked me by name and asked for this artist's painting. I can't find this artist's painting anywhere. I don't know if Leader Song is willing to do so. Cutting off love? How about fulfilling the love of foreign friends for our traditional Chinese paintings?"
Leader Song was stunned.
Guo Wanhua didn't know what kind of medicine Li Yunhai was selling in his gourd, so he thought it was a little strange that he suddenly changed his words.
Li Yunhai stood up, walked to the painting, and said, "Leader Song, I am willing to pay 20 yuan to buy this painting. I am not using it for myself, I am helping the foreign businessman act as an intermediary."
Leader Song pondered: "20? Are you sure?"
Li Yunhai said that I am very sure that the other party offered 7 US dollars. Leader Song, if you sell this painting to a foreign businessman, it is equivalent to creating foreign exchange.
As he said that, he glanced at Guo Wanhua.
Guo Wanhua understood. Although he didn't know why Li Yunhai said that, since he did it, there must be a reason for him, so he helped him and said: "Leader Song, you have a lot of money, so you should give up your love and give this painting to To foreign businessmen?"
Leader Song pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "If you really think this painting is worth 20, then just take it away."
Li Yunhai said overjoyed: "Thank you, Leader Song, for making it happen. We didn't bring so much cash today. I will write a purchase contract on behalf of the foreign businessman, and I will definitely send money to buy it tomorrow. If you fail to complete the transaction after the deadline, I am willing to pay three days in compensation." times the liquidated damages. To show my sincerity, I’ll put down a deposit of US$[-].”
He was afraid that Leader Song would regret it, so he immediately picked up his briefcase and took out [-] US dollars in cash.
This is real US dollars, 1 yuan!
Before Leader Song could understand what was going on, Li Yunhai took out a pen and paper again and wrote down the contents of the contract just mentioned.
"We will definitely bring money to pick up the painting tomorrow. If we don't come to pick up the painting, we are willing to pay three times the penalty, which is 60 yuan."
"This? Are you serious?" Leader Song took over the contract drafted by Li Yunhai and asked calmly, "Can this painting really sell for as much as 20?"
Li Yunhai said with confidence: "This painter has passed away. Although there are many paintings of his in existence, there are only ten paintings of this painting of the Rising Sun. Things are rare and valuable! For the rich who like this painting For people, what does a mere 20 mean?"
Leader Song felt that what he said was reasonable and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
Li Yunhai warned again: "Leader Song, we have made a contract. You cannot sell this painting to anyone else."
Leader Song said don’t worry!Except for the foreign businessman you mentioned, no one can afford such a high price. Last time, a teacher from the Provincial Art Academy said that such a painting is worth up to 200 yuan!
Li Yunhai said, "It's hard to buy a lot of money, but we can't understand the thoughts of foreigners."
He then said: "It's getting late, Leader Song, how about we have dinner together tonight?"
Leader Song said that we can skip the meal. I have a social event in the evening, so let’s get together another day!
Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua stood up and left: "Then we won't disturb Leader Song's work."
After they left, Leader Song looked at the Chinese paintings on the wall, then at the $[-] and the contract in his hand, and pondered slightly.
Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua went downstairs.
After getting in the car, Guo Wanhua couldn't help but ask: "Yunhai, why do you want to buy a painting for no reason? Are there really foreign businessmen who pay a lot of money to buy it?"
Li Yunhai smiled softly: "How can any foreign businessmen want to buy it? That painting is only worth 200 yuan at most. The paintings I saw in the Xizhou Cultural Relics Store are no worse than this one, and they only cost more than 100 yuan."
"Ah? Then why did you pay 20 for that painting?"
"I don't plan to buy it!"
"You didn't plan to buy? Then why did you sign a contract with them? You also said that if you don't buy after the deadline, you will pay three times the amount? Don't you have to pay 3?"
"Yes, I want to compensate him 60 yuan! No, it was the foreign businessman who broke his integrity, so I have to compensate him 60 yuan."
"Yunhai, you made my sister faint. What are you playing at?"
Li Yunhai smiled and said nothing.
Guo Wanhua couldn't figure it out. Seeing that he was pretending, she gently shook his hand and said, "Sister Foolish, just tell me what's going on?"
Li Yunhai said helplessly: "It's hard to explain. If you can figure it out, that's the best. If you can't figure it out, then there's no need to think about it anymore."
On the first day the Huacheng Sihai store opened, not a single order was placed.
Li Yunhai is not discouraged. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Before becoming famous, it is normal for him to have no business.
Although there are many customers in the department store, they all come here to shop or buy other goods.They have just learned that department stores sell office equipment, and even if they need it, they will not buy it immediately.
During this period, my country's office equipment was generally in short supply.
If you want to buy these equipment, most suppliers need to import them temporarily, and the cycle is extremely long.
Li Yunhai has the funds and can supply goods in stock, so he wins at the starting line.
The next day, Li Yunhai trained the clerk as usual.
Guo Wanhua specifically reminded him and Leader Song about buying paintings.
Li Yunhai smiled and said don't worry, I won't buy this painting.
Guo Wanhua was depressed.
There was still no order placed that day, and not a single machine was sold.
Li Yunhai decided to run a wave of advertisements on Lingnan and Huacheng TV stations. He had a soft spot for advertisements for TV dramas at [-]pm in the prime time slot.
The advertising content is all ready-made. Just use the advertisement he advertised on CCTV. All you need to do is change the purchase address to the first floor of the department store on Beijin Road, Huacheng.
The next day, Li Yunhai seemed to suddenly remember buying Leader Song's paintings, and said to Guo Wanhua: "Sister Guo, please go to Leader Song again and send him the liquidated damages. I leave this matter to you. It’s best to do it. Because the money has to come from you. I’ll give it to you later.”
"Yunhai, why are you doing this? You said you wanted to buy someone else's painting, but you deliberately didn't want it, and you still have to pay him so much money? This doesn't make sense!"
"There is a truth to everything in this world. Just send the money. Remember, this money is not mine, nor yours. It belongs to the foreign businessman who said he wanted to buy the painting but didn't want it. We asked him to recover the compensation."
"I don't understand your operations. But I'm still willing to follow your instructions and make a trip."
"Just go and do as I say."
Guo Wanhua actually went to Leader Song and told Li Yunhai what he said, emphasizing that this was liquidated damages for foreign businessmen's compensation.
She put down the money and left without saying a word.
Leader Song stopped her and said that since the painting was not taken away, the liquidated damages should be forgotten!
Guo Wanhua said no, but Li Yunhai said that after he signed a contract with you, he must act in accordance with the agreement.Contracts are legally binding.
After saying that, she tore up the contract in Li Yunhai's hand in front of Leader Song and threw it into the trash can.
This contract was made in duplicate, and the one in Li Yunhai's hand had been torn up.
Leader Song also has a contract in his hand, which can prove the origin of the money in his hand.
It wasn't until this moment that Guo Wanhua truly understood what Li Yunhai's purpose was.
Li Yunhai's purchase of the painting was just an excuse. He never thought about buying the painting.
After going around in circles, this painting is still led by Song.
However, due to breach of contract, Li Yunhai paid 60 yuan in compensation, plus a deposit of 1 US dollars.
After Guo Wanhua left, she couldn't help but sigh, Li Yunhai's gift-giving method was really clever!
First, ask for a monthly ticket.
(End of this chapter)
Li Yunhai drove away the tall and thin man who was making trouble, and turned around to see Yang Huiwen walking over.
Yang Huiwen looked at the tall and thin man's back and said, "Comrade Li, do you know who he is?"
Of course Li Yunhai didn't know him, and he wasn't too familiar with Huacheng. He asked, "Manager Yang, what kind of Xiyu Company is he talking about?"
Yang Huiwen told Li Yunhai that Xiyu Company specializes in computers and other office equipment.Government agencies, enterprises and institutions here in Huacheng basically all purchase from his company.The tall and thin man who came just now is named Ye Lianxi, and he runs the Xiyu Company.I heard that this person is very good at making friends with powerful people and doing business well.The specific origin is unknown.
Li Yunhai couldn't help but think that he once sold office equipment all over Huacheng and left countless business cards and information. In the end, no unit came to him to place an order.He now understands that Huacheng's units are all purchased from Xiyu Company.
Just like the units in Xizhou, most of them will go to Sihai Group for procurement.
There are always one or two local companies in every place that can handle most of the business.
Li Yunhai couldn't help but worry about Sihai Group's business prospects in Huacheng.
Judging from Ye Lianxi's arrogance, this person must be a master who is not afraid of trouble.
Li Yunhai is not afraid of the other party causing trouble, he is doing legitimate business.
Now he just wants to open up the market in Huacheng as soon as possible.
Guo Wanhua and Lin Zhi also thought about this. What should they do if they discuss with Li Yunhai?
Li Yunhai said calmly: "Although strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, foreign monks like to chant sutras. We are immigrants, and we have technologies and products that they do not have. This is our advantage!"
Yang Huiwen provided another piece of information to Li Yunhai: "Comrade Li, I heard that the provincial office is preparing to purchase a batch of office equipment. You can go and sell it when you have time."
After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Lin Zhi suggested to Li Yunhai whether Zhao Jinping should be transferred over?He is the sales manager, and he should be responsible for sales matters.
Li Yunhai believes that there are still many units in Xizhou that have not yet purchased computers. The past two years have been a critical moment for major units to purchase the first batch of computers. Zhao Jinping has been a manager at Wuyiwen for many years and has all his contacts there. Xizhou, even if he is transferred here, he will look down upon Huacheng. He will still have to develop the market from scratch. It would be more useful to keep him in Xizhou.
Now that he knew that the provincial office wanted to purchase office equipment, Li Yunhai decided to go there himself.

Li Yunhai smiled softly: "How can any foreign businessmen want to buy it? That painting is only worth 200 yuan at most. The paintings I saw in the Xizhou Cultural Relics Store are no worse than this one, and they only cost more than 100 yuan."
"Ah? Then why did you pay 20 for that painting?"
"I don't plan to buy it!"
"You didn't plan to buy? Then why did you sign a contract with them? You also said that if you don't buy after the deadline, you will pay three times the amount? Don't you have to pay 3?"
"Yes, I want to compensate him 60 yuan! No, it was the foreign businessman who broke his integrity, so I have to compensate him 60 yuan."
"Yunhai, you made my sister faint. What are you playing at?"
Li Yunhai smiled and said nothing.
Guo Wanhua couldn't figure it out. Seeing that he was pretending, she gently shook his hand and said, "Sister Foolish, just tell me what's going on?"
Li Yunhai said helplessly: "It's hard to explain. If you can figure it out, that's the best. If you can't figure it out, then there's no need to think about it anymore."
On the first day the Huacheng Sihai store opened, not a single order was placed.
Li Yunhai is not discouraged. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Before becoming famous, it is normal for him to have no business.
Although there are many customers in the department store, they all come here to shop or buy other goods.They have just learned that department stores sell office equipment, and even if they need it, they will not buy it immediately.
During this period, my country's office equipment was generally in short supply.
If you want to buy these equipment, most suppliers need to import them temporarily, and the cycle is extremely long.
Li Yunhai has the funds and can supply goods in stock, so he wins at the starting line.
The next day, Li Yunhai trained the clerk as usual.
Guo Wanhua specifically reminded him and Leader Song about buying paintings.
Li Yunhai smiled and said don't worry, I won't buy this painting.
Guo Wanhua was depressed.
There was still no order placed that day, and not a single machine was sold.
Li Yunhai decided to run a wave of advertisements on Lingnan and Huacheng TV stations. He had a soft spot for advertisements for TV dramas at [-]pm in the prime time slot.
The advertising content is all ready-made. Just use the advertisement he advertised on CCTV. All you need to do is change the purchase address to the first floor of the department store on Beijin Road, Huacheng.
The next day, Li Yunhai seemed to suddenly remember buying Leader Song's paintings, and said to Guo Wanhua: "Sister Guo, please go to Leader Song again and send him the liquidated damages. I leave this matter to you. It’s best to do it. Because the money has to come from you. I’ll give it to you later.”
"Yunhai, why are you doing this? You said you wanted to buy someone else's painting, but you deliberately didn't want it, and you still have to pay him so much money? This doesn't make sense!"
"There is a truth to everything in this world. Just send the money. Remember, this money is not mine, nor yours. It belongs to the foreign businessman who said he wanted to buy the painting but didn't want it. We asked him to recover the compensation."
"I don't understand your operations. But I'm still willing to follow your instructions and make a trip."
"Just go and do as I say."
Guo Wanhua actually went to Leader Song and told Li Yunhai what he said, emphasizing that this was liquidated damages for foreign businessmen's compensation.
She put down the money and left without saying a word.
Leader Song stopped her and said that since the painting was not taken away, the liquidated damages should be forgotten!
Guo Wanhua said no, but Li Yunhai said that after he signed a contract with you, he must act in accordance with the agreement.Contracts are legally binding.
After saying that, she tore up the contract in Li Yunhai's hand in front of Leader Song and threw it into the trash can.
This contract was made in duplicate, and the one in Li Yunhai's hand had been torn up.
Leader Song also has a contract in his hand, which can prove the origin of the money in his hand.
It wasn't until this moment that Guo Wanhua truly understood what Li Yunhai's purpose was.
Li Yunhai's purchase of the painting was just an excuse. He never thought about buying the painting.
After going around in circles, this painting is still led by Song.
However, due to breach of contract, Li Yunhai paid 60 yuan in compensation, plus a deposit of 1 US dollars.
After Guo Wanhua left, she couldn't help but sigh, Li Yunhai's gift-giving method was really clever!
First, ask for a monthly ticket.
