Life 1984

If it were Shen Xiulan a few years ago, she would have been panicked.

But now she no longer cares about this.

"You know it! Are you still afraid of her?" Shen Xiulan rolled her eyes at Li Yunhai, "How about you explain to her quickly?"

"What am I afraid of!" Li Yunhai said bravely.

In front of Shen Xiulan, no matter how scared he was, he couldn't show it.

Shen Xiulan smiled sweetly and said: "That's it! You should eat and drink! If Lin Xin dares to tell Lin Zhi, then you should divorce. Why should a man worry about having no wife? After divorce, you will not only have a new wife, I can still have children!”

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "This is what you said. If she really divorces me, you have no choice but to marry me!"

Shen Xiulan said: "Have I ever said I won't marry? From the beginning to the end, I have always been willing to marry you, okay?"

"Really?" Li Yunhai said, "I don't know who was against it in the first place, so we separated?"

Shen Xiulan said: "You have to tell me about the past, right? I didn't object to it at first, right? It's because you changed your mind. You saw that Lin Zhi is prettier than me and has a better family background than me - what's the point of saying this? significance?"

The music playing in the store was "Heartache Once Upon a Time", and it happened to be sung:

"Let it last forever,
As long as I have had it,

I really think so.

Why did the once heartache become a stranger?

Love is like life, which cannot be repeated. "

This song entered Shen Xiulan's heart.

She rested her chin on her hands and listened intently.

This shop is most famous for its yellow duck.

In Xizhou, yellow duck cries can be fried and eaten, or you can add some perilla and boil tofu.

This shop uses yellow duck eggs to cook eggs, which has a unique and delicious flavor.

Li Yunhai ordered a large bowl of yellow duck and two seafood dishes.

As a result, they only ate this pot of yellow duck and they were full.

The two of them did not leave, sitting by the window, chatting and watching the people coming and going on the street.

Shen Xiulan said: "When people start to reminisce, it means they are young. I think I am already old, and now I can't help but reminisce about the past."

Li Yunhai looked at the time and said, "Don't always think about the past. We create the present. Isn't the present the memory of the future? Let's go for a walk by the river?"

Shen Xiulan calmed down and sighed.

The two of them came downstairs and found that Lin Xin and the others had left.

Li Yunhai took Shen Xiulan to the river for a walk.

The trees along the river are lush and there is no cold wind, making it perfect for a walk after a meal.

After walking for more than half an hour, the two went to watch a movie again.

It was already 10:30 pm when I returned to the community.

Shen Xiulan asked him: "Are you still going to my house?"

Li Yunhai nodded and said: "It is necessary."

Shen Xiulan pursed her lips and smiled: "You are really brave."

Li Yunhai followed her into the house.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Le have already gone to bed.

After entering the house, Shen Xiulan was no longer so reserved and directly took Li Yunhai's hand upstairs.

It was already early morning when Li Yunhai returned home.

Lin Zhi and her family had gone to bed early.

Li Yunhai took a shower and went to bed to rest.

The next day, Li Yunhai came to the company and when he saw Lin Xin, he felt that the other party obviously dodges his eyes.

"Lin Xin, come in." Li Yunhai shouted.

Lin Xin said oh and followed him into the office.

Li Yunhai put down his briefcase and looked at her.

Lin Xin felt embarrassed and smiled coyly: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Li Yunhai said, "I thought you had something to say to me!"

Lin Xin really had something to say, but when the words reached her lips, they slipped away again.

It's better not to expose some things. Once the window paper is exposed, you may not even be able to have normal interactions in the future.

Moreover, this matter is related to her sister's lifelong happiness, and Lin Xin still doesn't know how to deal with it.

What if I get distracted? If you say it rashly, won't you destroy a perfect family?

Lin Xin smiled and said: "What do we have to talk about? You can talk to my sister!"

Li Yunhai said: "I was sleeping all the time yesterday afternoon, didn't anyone come to see me?"

Lin Xin snorted: "You're talking about this! Of course there are people. I arranged for them to come see you today. By the way, Professor Ni called you, please reply."

Li Yunhai didn't know whether to live or die, and asked directly: "You clean the lounge, right?"

Lin Xin panicked for a while, but quickly calmed down: "Well, yesterday, Sister Su had a treat, and I just cleaned it up. I don't know if you are satisfied or not?"

Li Yunhai smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, go out and work!"

Lin Xin withdrew.

Li Yunhai thought that Lin Xin might not have checked carefully. After all, who would take a serious look at the trash can?

When he thought about it, he felt relieved.

He called Professor Ni.

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li, you asked us to develop a music playback function on mobile phones. It is still difficult to achieve this."

Li Yunhai said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Professor Ni said: "The main problem is the memory. The memory of mobile phones is limited. If the memory is increased, the cost will increase and it will not be able to play many songs. Like MD players, you can change the tape, but the memory cannot be changed on mobile phones."

Li Yunhai said: "Using MP3 format, this is our own format."

Professor Ni said: "But there are too few MP3 music on the market now, and people with mobile phones may not necessarily have computers. Where can I download music?"

Li Yunhai said: "We just want to lead the trend and leave other things to the market. If our mobile phones can really play MP3 music, maybe a new profession will appear on the streets: downloading MP3 music."

Professor Ni laughed and said, "Mr. Li, your idea is quite interesting."

Li Yunhai said: "Don't believe it, just like after a CD-ROM drive is installed on a computer, CD-ROMs will immediately replace floppy disks."

Professor Ni said: "It makes sense, let's try it."

Years later, cities such as Xizhou have gradually opened GSM networks. The new Meihua mobile phone has the function of sending and receiving Chinese text messages, which has become very convenient and sales have soared.

If Meihua mobile phones want to remain invincible, they must constantly develop new features.

Li Yunhai's next goal for the scientific research institute is to add music playback to mobile phones.

Professor Ni likes to discuss technical matters with Li Yunhai.

Although Li Yunhai cannot provide technical support or help solve technical problems.

But Li Yunhai knew where the next selling point of the machine would be.

These are exactly what Professor Ni lacks.

Every time Li Yunhai comes up with a new idea, it can lead to hot sales of the product.

A balance must be struck between scientific research and sales so that there will be a steady stream of funds to support subsequent research and development.

If the results developed are not well-received and cannot be sold, then it will be useless no matter how good it is.

Therefore, in Professor Ni's mind, Li Yunhai is the well-deserved leader of Sihai Group.

After the company went public, Li Yunhai paid attention to the stock market every day.

1993 was a year of recovery for my country's stock market.

The wave of national stock speculation also officially started this year.

After the 1992 Southern Tour speech, 12 people in our country resigned and went to work, and more than 1000 million people were suspended without pay but joined industry and commerce without resigning.

In addition, there are millions of teachers, students and technicians in business.

This number is huge, because these people are young and middle-aged workers, and many of them are the breadwinners of their families. Their ups and downs are related to the fate of the whole family.

Tens of millions of people have joined the torrent of reform and opening up, and the domestic market has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity.

Office equipment, mobile phones and other products have become hot-selling commodities.

The number of street printing shops supported by Li Yunhai has increased exponentially.

Domestic sales of computers and printers have increased from hundreds of thousands to millions. Jiang Zhijun came over to report on work, mainly on production safety.

After listening to this, Li Yunhai gave important instructions and required the entire group to implement them and not be careless.

Jiang Zhijun asked for instructions on the reconstruction of the fire-damaged factory area.

Li Yunhai said: "We won't build it! We are now going to factory. In the future, except for core industries such as photolithography machines and chips, we will hand over all other products to foundries for production."

After Jiang Zhijun left, Zhao Jinping came in to report.

"Mr. Li, our products are selling very well in the United States, but they have also caused a wave of opposition."

"Are Americans opposed to our products?"

"Yes, our products are also considered foreign goods to Americans. I thought that only our country would boycott foreign goods, but I didn't expect that Americans would also boycott them."

"Where did you hear the news?"

"Jack from the North American branch gave me feedback. He said that this matter is very serious and that the headquarters should come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. If Americans really oppose our products, sales will severely decline."

Li Yunhai frowned and fell into deep thought.

This is an almost unsolvable problem!
Li Yunhai still remembers that when the Japanese semiconductor products were sold well in the United States, they also encountered a wave of opposition. Later, they also aroused suppression from the Americans, and now they have collapsed.

Sihai Group's products have just opened up sales in North America, but they have encountered similar opposition.

Obviously, this is a local competitive brand in the United States operating behind the scenes, with the purpose of driving competitors out of the United States.

This method is not only used by foreigners, but also by many domestic businesses.

In the battle to defend national brands, domestic products should be self-reliant, and if you are patriotic, buy domestic products. This voice has never stopped. This is also the last barrier for domestic brands.

The Americans have also built such barriers in their own country. How to break them?

Li Yunhai asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhao Jinping said: "Reducing prices to win over consumers. Cheap is always the last word, and there are always people who support cheap products. We use low prices to win the favor of consumers. As long as we have a fixed consumer group, we are not afraid of a few people’s objections.”

Li Yunhai said: "Reducing prices to reward customers is a great move. But once we lower prices, we will attract even more fierce counterattacks from our foreign counterparts, because we will eat into their market share."

Zhao Jinping said: "Mr. Li, what do you have in mind?"

Li Yunhai said: "I want to establish a positive image of the company. If we only make money in the United States and don't spend money in the United States, the local people will definitely have objections and think that we are sucking their blood. By the same token, foreign companies in The same is true in our country. If they only know how to ask for things but not what they want in return, then we will also have a rebellious mentality.”

Zhao Jinping said: "What should be done specifically? It is not easy to establish a positive image."

Li Yunhai said: "It's not difficult to say. We need to participate in more donations and charity activities locally, and hire as many local unemployed people as possible. And we need to promote it in a high-profile manner to win the favor of the locals. We want to occupy the American market. , you must first gain their goodwill, which is the beginning of successful sales.”

Zhao Jinping said: "We have not established a factory in the United States, and the number of workers we can hire is limited."

Li Yunhai said: "Jack once told me that he wanted to open stores in large and medium-sized cities in the United States. I thought the cost was too high at the time, so I didn't agree. I asked him to make a cost accounting sheet, and he had already done it. It was sent to my mailbox, but it was never implemented. I thought it was time.”

Zhao Jinping said: "Opening our stores in all large and medium-sized cities in the United States? The cost is very high!"

Li Yunhai said: "We have several advantages in opening a specialty store. One is to increase our sales channels; the other is to hire local employees, which can win the favor of Americans. Making other people's money cannot destroy their jobs. We If you can’t build a factory locally, you can only establish sales channels.”

"Okay!" Zhao Jinping said, "This is definitely a big investment."

Li Yunhai said: "You contact Jack and discuss with him how to establish a North American store network. Combine our office equipment and mobile phones and sell them in the same store. Create a unique store system all over the world! You make a budget first Come on, show me the plan and implement it as soon as possible!”

Zhao Jinping said: "Okay, Mr. Li."

Li Yunhai said: "Also, ask Jack to pay attention to any charity galas in the United States, or if there is a disaster somewhere, and ask him to give us timely feedback. We can do some charity donations to win over the locals. This amount of money is actually equivalent to advertising expenses.”

Zhao Jinping smiled and said: "Mr. Li, brilliant! Really brilliant! Why can't I think of these ideas?"

Li Yunhai said: "As a businessman, you can't make every last copper, otherwise it will cause a backlash. Make money from Americans and give part of it back to the locals. This is a long-term way to make money."

Zhao Jinping took the order and left.

Li Yunhai picked up the tea cup and found that there was no water in the cup.

He called Lin Xin in and said, "How did you become a secretary? I talked so much that my mouth was dry and I didn't even have anything to drink."

Lin Xin said sorry repeatedly, then picked up the cup to make tea.

She made tea and brought it over.

Li Yunhai said: "I'm thirsty now. If you give me a cup of hot tea, how can I drink it?"

Lin Xin pouted and said, "Can't you explain it clearly at once? You have to play riddles with me."

Li Yunhai said: "Interesting, you are a secretary and you don't know how to take care of your boss. You are still reasonable! Will you treat your husband like this in the future?"

Lin Xin said: "If you were my man, I wouldn't care about you. If you are thirsty, won't you find water by yourself?"

Li Yunhai said: "It seems that you are not suitable to be a secretary. You don't have the mentality to serve me at all!"

Lin Xin said: "You want to drive me away? Don't even think about it! I don't know how, I can learn! You don't teach me, you just let me guess your thoughts. If you are thirsty, just say, Lin Xin, give me a glass of water!"

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, I'll drink it, I want to drink water!"

Lin Xin brought her cup in, opened the lid, and smiled: "Do you want me to feed you?"

Li Yunhai took her cup, drank all the water in it, and said, "This is just this time, it won't happen next time!"

"Then how do I know when you have no water to drink?" Lin Xin said aggrievedly, "You are often away!"

"You don't understand? Go ask Su Hong for advice! Anyway, when she was my secretary, I was never thirsty!"

"Is she really that good? I'll ask her."

Lin Xin walked to the door with a smile and then stepped back: "Brother-in-law, are you hungry? Do you want some snacks?"

"Not hungry!"

"Oh, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your shoulders and neck?"

"You've learned to draw inferences from one instance, right?"

"Yeah, you can't just say you're thirsty and I'll give you water. Next time you say you're hungry, you'll blame me for not taking good care of you."

"Only you dare to talk back to me! Come out with me."

"Look, you didn't take a sip of the tea you just made."

"Long-winded!"

Lin Xin chuckled: "A cute girl like me can still serve you tea and water, so you can just have fun!"

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she becomes my secretary just to serve me. Do you still think of yourself as a princess?"

"I understand, brother-in-law!"

Li Yunhai took Lin Xin downstairs.

Lin Xin asked: "Where are we going?"

"Go to the Research Institute." Li Yunhai said, "Just walk there."

"Well, okay." Lin Xin smiled, "Brother-in-law, you are quite interesting when you are serious."

Li Yunhai ignored her.

Because the two of them were so familiar, he didn't have the authority of a boss in front of Lin Xin.

As I was walking, a motorcycle suddenly drove over from the side of the road.

They walked on the square in the center of Sihai, heading towards the Research Institute. The entire area between the two buildings was a pedestrian area. The motorcycle rushed from the road directly into the pedestrian area.

There was not much passenger traffic in the morning, so the rider drove a motorcycle, sped up, and rushed towards Li Yunhai.

The rider was wearing a helmet and could only be identified as a male.

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong rushed forward at the same time and blocked Li Yunhai without hesitation.

The rider freed his right hand, pulled out a long machete from behind, and struck Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai pushed Lin Xin away and took several steps back.

The motorcyclist missed a hit, turned around in front, and continued the pursuit.

Zhuang Yong seized the opportunity and pounced forward, knocking the rider off the motorcycle.

The motorcycle drove forward due to its inertia and crashed into a specialty store, making the salesperson inside scream.

Ding Qiang has been guarding Li Yunhai to prevent gangsters and accomplices from attacking Li Yunhai.

Zhuang Yong struggled with the rider, and he firmly grabbed the opponent's right hand holding the knife and refused to let go.

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Ding Qiang, go up and help!"

Seeing that there were no other gangsters nearby, Ding Qiang jumped up and kicked the rider on the helmet.

The rider's head was buzzing, and the knife in his hand was snatched away by Zhuang Yong.

He didn't dare to fight and wanted to break away from Zhuang Yong and escape.

Zhuang Yong tightly held his neck.

Ding Qiang picked up the machete, raised it high, and chopped it down hard.

"Ah!" The rider screamed. His right knee was smashed by Ding Qiang's knife!

This time the rider could no longer escape and was controlled by Zhuang Yong and Ding Qiang. (End of chapter)
