Life 1984

Although Gong Jie's abacus skills are not as good as those of professional Liu Yan and others, he can calculate very quickly.

Li Yunhai felt that he had underestimated her before. She was really a multi-talented treasure woman.

Gong Jie finished the calculation and then checked the amount of money. He found a discrepancy in one of the amounts and pointed it out immediately.

Finance director Huang Ying, together with the accountant and cashier, did a careful calculation and said that it was due to financial problems and a miscalculation, so the amount of money was correct.

The two parties checked again and it was confirmed that it was correct. Then the financial staff took the money to the bank and deposited it into the company's account.

In a company, the accountant manages the accounts and the cashier manages the money. The two must be clearly distinguished.

Seeing how well she handled it, Li Yunhai couldn't help but nodded and asked, "How do you know the abacus?"

"I've learned that. I used to go to the countryside to join the team. Before the literary and art propaganda team was established, I helped calculate work points in the Production Corps."

"Oh, not bad."

"Later I made movies, and in order to experience life, I also went to a factory to experience being a manager."

There was a tea table in her office. Gong Jie stood up and poured a glass of water for Li Yunhai.

After the company develops stably, each employee usually performs his or her duties, and the branch manager does not have many affairs to manage.

After Gong Jie finished handling the company's finances and statements, she asked Li Yunhai if she wanted to go to the two stores for routine inspections?
Li Yunhai said that you are the manager now, and the entire Huacheng branch is under your management. You don’t need to ask me what you want to do, just pretend that I am far away in Xizhou.

Gong Jie smiled lightly and said that I would go down and check the work.

Li Yunhai followed her downstairs.

The two of them first came to the training class on the second floor.

Like Xizhou, most of the people who come to participate in computer training are employees or students. They are only available in the evenings and weekends. The computer classes during the day are for young people in the society to learn computers. They cost two yuan an hour. , as they type or play games.

In 1986, there were already a lot of games on the PC.

Compared with game consoles on the street, PC games are more playable and more suitable for killing time alone.

Domestic game companies have also begun to rise. Jingxun Company released a commercial game called "Ruyi Ji".

There is also a very classic FC game, Super Mario, which has also begun to be ported to PCs. This side-scrolling game is probably the memory and childhood of many people.

In addition, there are many RPG games online, such as Dragon Quest, Demon Realm, Underground Adventure, Dungeons, etc.

It was the first time for Gong Jie to watch other people playing computer games. She saw many young people sitting in the training class, all facing the computer and typing on the keyboard with both hands. She thought they were studying. When she looked at the screen , but he was playing a game similar to that of the Famicom. He couldn't help but be very surprised and asked Li Yunhai: "Isn't this a computer training class? Why are there still games to play?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Games are also an important function of computers and are the driving force for the development of computer software and hardware technology. Electronic games provide a very good way of leisure for modern people who are under great pressure."

"Is this considered playing with things to lose one's ambition?"

"As long as you are not addicted to anything and properly arrange work and entertainment, it cannot be regarded as playing with things. Playing with cats, walking dogs, raising flowers and birds, which one is not play? Some people are addicted to women and waste their lives, but they cannot So the relationship between men and women is forbidden, right?”

"What a metaphor! It's true!" Gong Jie blushed and watched others playing for a while, then smiled and said, "This game looks very fun. You can teach me how to play it when you have time, okay?"

"Yes. In fact, there is no need to teach. As soon as you get started, you will know how to play. Most people can learn by themselves without a teacher. The game is for entertainment, not for testing, so it won't be too difficult. .”

The two of them came downstairs again. In the sales department on the first floor, there were several customers choosing machines.

Office equipment stores, unlike ordinary stores, are rarely crowded with customers. Under normal circumstances, they are very busy. As long as dozens of customers come in every day and the transaction volume reaches one-tenth, the transaction volume is very high. .

The two of them walked towards the department store store again.

Gong Jie asked: "Mr. Li, the Huacheng branch had a turnover of 87 yuan yesterday. How much was the profit?"

Li Yunhai said: "After deducting costs, taxes, labor and other expenses, there is a profit of 40% to 50%."

Gong Jie did a quick mental calculation and said, "That's pretty good! I earn 40 a day, 1200 million a month, and more than 1 million in profit a year. This is just the income of one branch."

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "This income is unstable, and you won't have so much money every day. Yesterday someone bought 20 typewriters, so the revenue is a little higher."

Gong Jie nodded and said, "Then we have to open more branches as soon as possible. The more we open, the more we will make."

Li Yunhai said: "Theoretically, this is the case, but you must also choose the right address for opening a store. There is a lot of knowledge in opening a store. If the same store is run by different people, there will be losses and profits. The same person will run different stores. , there may also be losses and profits.”

Gong Jie wanted to change careers, so she specifically asked Li Yunhai for advice on business management.

The two of them came to the department store while chatting and laughing.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a customer arguing with the salesperson.

Gong Jie stepped forward to understand the situation.

It turned out that the customer bought a first-generation typewriter and used it for three months. When he saw the new second-generation typewriter, he wanted to replace it.I also want to trade in the original price.

The salesperson said that the customer had used it for three months and could not replace it.

The customer was reluctant and said that I bought my typewriter from you and it has been well protected and looks exactly the same as when I bought it new. Why don't you replace it for me?
The salesperson was so troubled by him that he really didn't know how to deal with it.

It happened that Gong Jie came, so the salesperson asked her for help and threw the hot potato to Gong Jie.

It's Gong Jie's first day as manager. How does he know how to handle this matter?Then he looked at Li Yunhai and asked her for help.

Li Yunhai looked like you were making up your mind.

Gong Jie couldn't help but pursed her lips when she saw that it had nothing to do with him and was hanging high.He made a fist with his right hand and put it to his ear. He extended his thumb and little finger and made a gesture of making a phone call. Then he said twice: "Is this Mr. Li? I am Gong Jie from Huacheng Branch. I have something to report to you now." "

Li Yunhai looked at her in astonishment.

Gong Jie smiled and said, "Aren't you in Xizhou? I'm calling you for advice now! Answer the phone quickly."

Li Yunhai snorted, thinking that you really know how to play!He also followed her example, put his hands to his ears and said, "Hey, I'm Li Yunhai, what can I do for you?"

Gong Jie is a professional actor. He entered the scene in a second and said seriously: "Mr. Li, there is such a thing now. Please tell me how to deal with it."

She explained the customer's request to replace the second-generation typewriter.

Li Yunhai also encountered this situation for the first time, but he quickly made a decision, saying: "It can be replaced, but it cannot be replaced at the original price. The minimum period for depreciation of electronic products is 3 years, so we will calculate it based on five years. Depreciation is 30% in the first year, 25% in the second year, 3% in the third year, 20% in the fourth year, and 4% in the fifth year. He used it for three months, which is one quarter, based on the first year's depreciation rate. Calculate a quarter of it!”

Gong Jie smiled brightly, said thank you to Mr. Li, and put down her hand, which was equivalent to hanging up the phone.

She explains this to her customers.

Just now, she and Li Yunhai pretended to be talking on the phone, and the customer was listening nearby, so they could understand clearly.

The customer bought the first-generation typewriter for 13800 yuan. After using it for three months, it has depreciated by 12%, which is 1656 yuan. He thinks it is too expensive!That much money after three months of use?Doesn’t it cost 552 yuan a month?

Gong Jie had already understood Li Yunhai's algorithm, and patiently explained it to the customer, saying that this brand-new machine has a relatively high depreciation rate. In foreign countries, a computer worth more than 5 yuan only needs three to five uses. years, it will be eliminated. Wouldn’t the depreciation rate be higher?When you buy electronic products, you must take depreciation and usage into consideration.A car that costs 20 yuan, if you buy it and take it home, it will become a second-hand car, which will be at least tens of thousands cheaper. This is the same principle.

She added, "We are willing to replace it for you. We are already a conscientious company. You have also bought other electrical appliances. Do you think their manufacturers will replace them for you?"

The customer was also an intellectual, and he couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. After thinking twice, he finally decided to replace it according to the store's regulations.

Gong Jie asked the salesperson to help the customer handle the procedures.

The business here in the department store is obviously better than that in the arcade, and there are more people visiting the store.

Gong Jie saw that the salesperson was too busy, so he went to help.

Li Yunhai sat leisurely and watched.

After the store was quiet, Gong Jie had time to go back to Li Yunhai and sit down.

She did pretty well just now, selling 3 typewriters.

In recent years, Sihai typewriters have been the best-selling products in Sihai stores.

Some customers recognize her as soon as they see her, and they feel a natural sense of intimacy, and they naturally have a sense of trust in the products she sells.

After many celebrities become famous, they will embark on the road of business, and most of them do very well, because their faces are their passports, which can bring them closer to most people and gain the support of fans.

The cooperation between Li Yunhai and Gong Jie will definitely be a win-win situation.

At noon, Li Yunhai invited Gong Jie to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

There are many restaurants here, offering all kinds of northern and southern dishes.

Li Yunhai knew that Gong Jie was from Shanghai and didn't like spicy food, so he found a Cantonese restaurant.

Cantonese cuisine is mainly fresh, fragrant and smooth. Li Yunhai ordered a roast duck, a plain-cut chicken and a delicious soup.

Li Yunhai asked her: "Sister Gong, what do you think? Can you still adapt to such a life?"

Gong Jie nodded and smiled: "I think it's pretty good. I live a fulfilling life. When I was an actor, I listened to the director's instructions. I had to act how they asked me to act. But as a manager, I can Commanding others, this change of role gives me a very special sense of accomplishment. It’s just that business doesn’t seem to be very good today, I’m afraid I haven’t sold as much as yesterday.”

The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became.

Li Yunhai comforted her and said: "Business is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Don't worry about gains and losses in a day. When we run a branch, it depends on its profitability for a year. I'm not familiar with Shanghai. If we open a branch there, you Where do you think it’s better?”

Gong Jie said: "Well, of course it's Nanjing Road. That's the business center."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay. After the Beijin branch is open and stable, we will go to Shanghai to operate it."

Gong Jie asked: "Why don't we drive together?"

"You'll be too busy. You can't become fat with just one bite. To develop an enterprise, it needs to grow and develop step by step. It will spread its net widely across the country and open branches all over the country. How do you think I can take care of it? If I don't take care of it. Well, if something happens to the company, it will lose money, so it is better not to open it. We have dealers in all major cities across the country, and we open branches just to better expand the market."

"You are very powerful. The most rare thing is that you will not rush into the world. I know a businessman who made tens of millions of assets by chance in 1980. Later, he invested blindly and lost everything. He again I want to make a comeback, but I never have that chance.”

"Some people don't have real skills, they just hit a niche, so they make money. It's like a person who suddenly won a jackpot and got millions in cash, but because he didn't know what to do with his wealth, he used the money to gamble. , and ended up losing everything overnight. Enterprise expansion and blind investment are actually a huge gamble."

In the afternoon, the two returned to the branch office.

The staff came in and reported: "Mr. Gong, there is a person who claims to be from Xiyu Company and wants to see you."

"Xiyu Company?" Gong Jie didn't know about this company and asked, "What's wrong with them?"

The staff member said: "They just said they wanted to see our boss."

Li Yunhai thought about his meeting with Ye Lianxi yesterday, and wondered if this kid would come to cause trouble again?However, he was not afraid of the other party, so he said: "Let him come in!"

The person who came was indeed Ye Lianxi. He walked in laughing, but when he saw that the person sitting in the office was not Guo Wanhua, he was stunned and asked: "Where is Mr. Guo?"

Gong Jie said calmly: "Mr. Guo is not here, what can I do for you?"

Ye Lianxi looked at Gong Jie and thought: "You look so familiar! Who are you? Aren't you the Qin Nan under the bridge?"

Gong Jie said: "I have played Qin Nan."

Ye Lianxi exclaimed: "I really like watching the movies you act in! You are really beautiful, but you are a little thin. As actors, don't you have enough food? I heard that the crew of Journey to the West It’s rare to eat chicken! Being an actor is really hard! Tell me, I will buy you delicacies from the mountains and seas every day!”

Gong Jie shook his head speechlessly and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Ye Lianxi said with a smile: "I have something to do, but the person I'm looking for is Mr. Guo, and I can't talk to you!"

Gong Jie said: "I make the decision here, I am the manager! If you have something to say, just say it. If nothing happens, then please do it yourself."

Ye Lianxi glanced at Li Yunhai and laughed loudly: "Miss Gong, are you also the manager? Okay, then I will talk to you the same way. I want to be the general agent of Sihai Group in Lingnan!"

This matter was so big that Gong Jie didn't dare to focus on it and looked to Li Yunhai aside.

Li Yunhai crossed his legs, read a newspaper, and said motionlessly: "Okay, the agency fee is 30 million per year, and it will increase by 1% every year." Ye Lianxi couldn't calm down after hearing this: "30 per year The agency fee of [-] million yuan? It will increase by [-]% every year in the future? Why don’t you go and rob it?”

Li Yunhai slowly turned over a page of the newspaper and said, "If you didn't have the strength, you wouldn't want to talk to us!"

Ye Lianxi snorted coldly: "What does my conversation with your manager have to do with you? Why are you so ungrateful? Miss Gong, tell me, can we cooperate?"

After he knew the power of Sihai Group, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, but he didn't want to give up such a good business, so he thought of becoming a general agent.

Gong Jie, of course, followed Li Yunhai's words and said: "We can cooperate. The annual agency fee is 30 million, which will increase by [-]% every year."

"This is impossible!" Ye Lianxi said solemnly, "Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? I come to cooperate with you sincerely! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Gong Jie couldn't help but laugh and said: "Comrade, what do you mean by this? You took the initiative to come to us for cooperation. We have the right to refuse to cooperate with you. We did not threaten you or induce you, so you don't have to be afraid of us!" "

Ye Lianxi said proudly: "I will give you an agency fee of 2000 million yuan per year. You will hand over the business in Lingnan Province to me! Including your two stores, they will be transferred to me. I will decide how much they are worth." pay!"

Li Yunhai let out a soft laugh.

This was the first time he heard such unreasonable words.

Gong Jie knew how much money Sihai Company could make here, so she felt that this person was simply unreasonable and said: "Comrade, you can leave then. We will definitely not be able to reach an agreement on this cooperation."

Ye Lianxi stood up and said: "Don't be shameless! I don't buy shares in your company, I only seek cooperation. This is already giving you face! If you piss me off, everyone will have a hard time!"

Li Yunhai finally put down the newspaper and said: "If you really want to cooperate, let me give you a suggestion. Get the goods from me and sell them back. There is no franchise fee or shareholding fee. You can take as much as you want! This That’s the greatest tolerance I can give you.”

Ye Lianxi sneered: "I am the big boss, you treat me as a small dealer?"

Li Yunhai smiled calmly: "You're right, any regional dealer in our company can get goods worth tens of millions every time. People like you can really only be regarded as small dealers! Don't He has a face that has never seen the world, and he is full of bitterness and hatred. Please go out and see more when you have time!"

Ye Lianxi's expression froze and he said, "I can't talk to you. I'll talk about it when Mr. Guo comes back! I don't know what to say!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Li Yunhai really didn't know how to judge this person, he could only say that he was speechless.

Gong Jie asked: "Mr. Li, who is this person? So arrogant!"

Li Yunhai said: "When you stand alone in the future, you may encounter people like this. You must learn to deal with them. There is no need to be afraid of them, and there is no need to provoke them! This person is a colleague, and we have robbed most of the business. He is thinking of ways to either kill us or eat us!"

Gong Jie whispered: "I didn't realize he was so vicious!"

Li Yunhai said calmly: "There is nothing to be afraid of! He can't kill us, and he can't eat us!"

In the afternoon, Gong Jie went to the two stores to check the work. Seeing that the stores were busy, she helped.

The day passed without incident.

Gong Jie roughly calculated today's turnover, which was only more than 50, which was not as much as yesterday.

She was a little frustrated, feeling that she was not as good as Guo Wanhua.

Li Yunhai comforted her and said that it couldn't be calculated like that. You had worked very hard today. Sister Guo usually didn't go to the sales department to help. Then he asked her where to eat?

Gong Jie said that business is so bad today, so why don’t you go out to eat?There are also some dishes in the refrigerator. It is enough for the two of us to make two dishes at will.

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "I didn't realize that you are a big star, but you can also cook?"
Gong Jie said, of course I will do it. You don’t think I am a capitalist lady, do you?I always cook and eat by myself.

Li Yunhai said hello, and the two returned home.

Cheng Lin has to work overtime and hasn't come back yet.

Gong Jie came to the kitchen to cook.

Li Yunhai called Xiangjiang and asked if Guo Wanhua would come back today.

After answering the phone, Guo Wanhua said that she would not be back today. She was too tired from the trip and had another parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon. Now she just wanted to lie down and sleep.

Li Yunhai asked Chen Meilin about her academic performance.

Guo Wanhua said that Meilin's grades were pretty good and she probably wouldn't repeat the grade.

"Yunhai, Meilin has a different view on my pregnancy!"

"She doesn't want any younger siblings?"

"Oh, I don't know what to say. I told her that this was his father's posthumous child. She probably didn't believe it. She seemed to doubt the relationship between you and me. Maybe she thought this child was yours!"

Li Yunhai wanted to say, is this our child?

But he couldn't say these words.

A strange thought flashed through Li Yunhai's mind.

As soon as Chen Wanzhao died, Guo Wanhua immediately became friends with Li Yunhai, and she was the kind who didn't take safety measures.

This woman, did she want to get pregnant on purpose?And you want to create an illusion?Just to make the world think that this child is Chen Wanzhao's posthumous son?

For more than a month before and after Chen Wanzhao's death, Guo Wanhua was in Xiangjiang and had close contacts with Chen Guangxin and others. No suspicious man appeared around him.The only one, Li Yunhai, also appeared as a cousin and only stayed in Xiangjiang for a few days.

All signs indicate that the child Guo Wanhua is carrying is most likely Chen Wanzhao's!
Anyway, it is impossible for Li Yunhai to admit this child in public.

If this is really the case, then Guo Wanhua's idea is really terrible.

Li Yunhai hung up the phone and seriously considered the relationship between himself and Guo Wanhua.

All along, he has fallen into Guo Wanhua's gentle trap.

And he was willing to jump in, unable to extricate himself.

If Guo Wanhua keeps this child, he can claim to the outside world that he is the blood of the Chen family, enjoy more welfare benefits, and gain more respect from the Chen family.You can use this child to control Li Yunhai, or even threaten Li Yunhai.

No matter what, Guo Wanhua is the biggest winner.

Li Yunhai shook his head, as if to throw away all his worries. He got up and went to the kitchen, where he saw Gong Jie wearing an apron and cooking.

"This is braised pork ribs," Gong Jie said with a smile, holding a soy sauce bottle in one hand and a can of sugar in the other. "I just didn't buy any chili. Are you used to it?"

"Get used to it! It's fine if I don't eat chili peppers. Do you Shanghainese particularly like braised dishes?"

"Yes, braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised fish cubes, sweet and sour short ribs, and fried fish are all sweet."

"No wonder you look so sweet. It turns out you grew up eating sweets."

"So you grew up eating chili peppers, do you have a particularly fiery personality?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't think so, maybe we haven't lived together for long! It takes time to see people's hearts!"

"Yes, it's such a wonderful thing that changes people's hearts over time!"

"Ok?"

"Well, I mean, our time together is too short."

"Here, take a bite." Gong Jie picked up a rib with a vegetable spoon and handed it to Li Yunhai's mouth.

Li Yunhai tasted a piece. It tasted sweet, had a thick texture, and had a rich soup. It was indeed delicious.

"Oh! It's delicious!" Li Yunhai praised, "Sister Gong, you are really good in the hall and in the kitchen. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed through several lifetimes."

"I'm an old girl, and I haven't even changed my horoscope yet! I'm afraid I won't be able to get married! I've heard a saying that if you want to keep a man, you must first keep his stomach. I was just thinking, why must What about a woman who wants to keep a man? Then what price does a man have to pay if he wants to keep a woman?"

"This sentence is for the ladies, they keep good men from the upper class! Just the trivial daily life between ordinary couples is annoying enough. Who cares about these things now? In rural areas, it’s good if everyone has a stutter. Who dares to pick the fat and the thin? Many people only eat meat once a month. Whose stomach do you think you can keep? It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!"

"Your opinions are always different and refreshing! From now on, I don't need to read idle books anymore, I can just listen to you."

"We can't live together often, so how can I have so much time to chat with you?"

Gong Jie turned her head to look at him and said with a smile: "Then come and spend time with me when you have time. I like your talk very much."

"Ahem, Sister Gong, what did you say?"

"What did I say? I said you should spend more time with me when you have time."

"The last sentence."

"I like you very much--"

"Stop, these five words are enough. Remember, I owed you two likes before, and now you have given me another like. I only owe you one like!"

"Ah? Can you still settle accounts like this?"

"Otherwise, how can we calculate it?"

"You should count it as yours, and I should count it as mine. This shows that we both appreciate each other, right? Let's do this, we each accumulate our own likes, and we will see when the time comes, whether you give me more likes or not I like you more."

"Sister Gong, you are truly an actress, you are so good at talking. By the way, Sister Guo won't be back until tomorrow afternoon, and you have to be the manager on duty for a day tomorrow."

"Okay! I'm addicted now and think it's quite fun."

"If you find work fun, it shows that you are really suitable for this industry."

"I'm an actor. I act like whatever I want."

Gong Jie cooked the vegetables and took them out to eat with Li Yunhai.

She fried a braised pork rib, a fat-free pork rib, and a vegetable.

Li Yunhai unexpectedly found it delicious and said, "It's amazing, your cooking skills are more authentic than the chefs at the International Hotel!"

"What I cook is authentic Shanghainese food. The chefs of the big hotels cook the food for outsiders, and the taste has been improved. Don't you think it's too sweet?"

"It's okay, I can accept it."

At this time, Cheng Lin suddenly came back and called the door from outside.

Gong Jie stood up and opened the door, smiling and saying, "Why are you back?"

Cheng Lin walked in and said, "Oh, you two are having dinner. Did it happen that I came back by chance? Did I disturb your candlelight dinner?"

"Fuck you, nonsense! What candlelight dinner?"

"Hey, let's call it light dinner! Hehe!"

"Stop being so glib. Have you eaten?"

"I haven't eaten yet!"

The three of them finished eating together and discussed going out to watch a movie.

Li Yunhai said he didn't want to go, but Cheng Lin pulled him up: "Go ahead! Two beauties are watching a movie with you, and you still refuse?"

Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang.

Li Yunhai answered the phone, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "What? The store in the arcade was smashed?" (End of Chapter)
