Life 1984

Chen Meilin heard from the side and said to Li Yunhai: "Since they copied ours, we can sue them! There must be an intellectual property protection law in the mainland, right? We can't sue the color of the mobile phone, but our appearance must have been registered. Then you can sue them for infringement.”

Professor Ni smiled bitterly and said: "Ms. Chen, you don't know something. Lianxiang Company is not an ordinary company. Even if we file a lawsuit, it will not be easy. Firstly, the superiors will negotiate with us and let us coordinate to solve the problem. Secondly, sue It takes time, and it won’t be judged until one or two years, and by then the bonus period of this model will have passed!”

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "There is also the most important third point. They deliberately copied our work just to gain our popularity. If we sue them, we will fall into their trap. They will take the opportunity to make a big fuss and take advantage of it." It’s not uncommon for lawsuits to gain momentum again, and we have also used Intel’s traffic before.”

Shen Xiulan said: "Do you need to say this? Li Juan definitely learned the method from you! If you use it in Lianxiang Company, it will harm us."

Chen Meilin let out a sigh. She really didn't know that business wars could be fought like this, deliberately exposing herself to lawsuits and taking advantage of the traffic of big companies!
Even if a design patent is infringed, fines are limited.

By filing lawsuits and gaining traffic, the other party can gain attention and thus sell more goods and make more money.

Professor Ni said: "It's almost the same thing, but Lianxiang Company deliberately made it 200 yuan cheaper. It's clear that they want to snipe us."

Li Yunhai said calmly: "I think their products are far inferior to ours. When looking at a product, you can't just look at the performance. Even if two products look exactly the same, they are completely different inside."

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li, they blocked the information very tightly. Until today, my talent saw the real machine and immediately took a photo and faxed it to me."

Li Yunhai couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what Li Juan said the day he left: "Don't worry. We will continue to hold the press conference."

Lin Zhi said: "Do we need to adjust our selling price? Since Lianxiang mobile phone is 200 cheaper, we can also reduce it by 200."

Li Yunhai said: "Why do you think they are holding a press conference behind us? We are reducing it by two hundred now, and when they release it, they can reduce it by another two hundred! We will always be passive!"

Professor Ni and others all agreed.

Chen Meilin said: "Is there no way to cure them?"

Li Yunhai said proudly: "Of course there is a way! The market is the only truth for testing products! Who will consumers buy? Whoever will make a fortune. No matter how many tricks you try, it will be useless. I never thought that even Xiang Company could become ours. Opponent. Why should an opportunistic and cunning company fight with us?”

His confidence also infected those around him.

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li always does things with confidence. Since you say that, there must be some truth to it."

Li Yunhai looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, Meilin, let's go on stage."

Next is the time for the major release of the third generation of Meihua mobile phones.

Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin continue to host.

Chen Meilin was wearing an elegant dress. The hem of the skirt, right at the knees, revealed her slender and round calves.

Li Yunhai was wearing a white shirt and blue trousers, which was already a very formal dress for him.

"Everyone! The ten-minute break has passed. Let's continue with the release of new products!"

The third generation of Meihua mobile phones has already made its debut.

Therefore, the release of this mobile phone can be said to be without any suspense.

Li Yunhai focused on explaining the new functions of Meihua 3.

The two most important changes of this phone are the external memory card and MP3 music playback functions.

In an era when mobile phones can only make calls and send text messages, suddenly there is a mobile phone that can play music. It is really amazing!

After Li Yunhai showed off the appearance of the phone, he pressed a few buttons.

A guzheng sound from "Ambush from Flying Daggers" suddenly flowed out from the compact fuselage.

Plum Blossom 3 and Plum Blossom 2 are of the same origin and also use a sliding cover design.

Li Yunhai believes that this design will not be outdated in the next ten years.

Since Plum Blossom 2 can be successful, then Plum Blossom 3 can also be successful. There is no need for him to risk other designs.

Most of the people present were shocked when they saw this phone for the first time.

Li Yunhai also showed how to replace the memory card and how to download music files.

"The same mobile phone, the same style, the same color, may be produced by many brands, but there is only one Meihua mobile phone from Sihai Technology, and it is unique and unique! When we look at the mobile phone, it is like appreciating a beautiful woman , you can’t just look at the appearance, but also take into account the inner soul!”

These words were added temporarily by him.

Because Lianxiang Company is plagiarizing, Li Yunhai must speak clearly.

"The chips, motherboards, and memory used in Meihua mobile phones are all developed and produced by our Sihai Group. All spare parts have undergone strict quality inspection. Everyone here is our company's most loyal partner. Please pay attention. Keep your eyes open, don’t be fooled by cheap products!”

"You are dealers and agents. After you go back, you must also preach to your customers that you must not be greedy for cheap when buying things, so as not to lose the big with the small."

These few paragraphs of Li Yunhai's words are clearly aimed at Lianxiang's new mobile phone, and those who understand will understand.

He also believed that among these people, there were one or two or even several undercover agents who had even thought about it.

What happened at the Sihai press conference will be reported back to Lianxiang Company in a short time.

New product release completed.

The next step is to order.

The dealer can place an order on site, or he can place an order by phone later when he goes back, it's all the same.

But whoever places the order first will definitely get the goods first.

As for those regional agents, they have already discussed the details of getting the goods with Sihai Group.

People like Shi Wentao from Taiwan, Liang Wei from Beijin and others directly asked Li Yunhai for goods, and the prices were all friendly prices, which were lower than others. However, these were all commercial secrets and could not be disclosed. go out.

At the press conference, Li Yunhai will only announce the retail price of new products. As for the ex-factory wholesale price, these are all internal discussions.

Each of these dealers are regular customers of Sihai Group, so they naturally know what to do.

Shen Xiulan was in charge of taking orders, and now it was her turn to be busy. She led her colleagues in the finance department to receive dealers.

Lin Zhi took Chen Meilin and others over to help.

Li Yunhai stood aside and chatted with Professor Ni and others.

Professor Ni crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, can you guess the transaction amount?"

Li Yunhai didn't even think about it and said: "Four billion US dollars! After all, there is a bonus for mobile phone orders!"

Professor Ni laughed and said: "That's good! I don't have to guess. The amount mentioned by Mr. Li will definitely be achieved!"

Li Yunhai said: "We have invested so much money in research and development. If we can't make a big profit, we will lose money."

Professor Ni said: "The development of graphics cards requires a lot of funds. Next, we have to develop a new generation of 3D graphics cards, which is another expensive project."

Li Yunhai said: "Since we have started this track, we must go all the way to the end."

Professor Ni asked: "Mr. Li, if you open a separate company for graphics cards, will our research institute also be separated in the future?"

Li Yunhai said: "I have this idea. It would be great for most scientific researchers to be proficient in one of them. There are very few generalists like you, Professor Ni. We can divide them according to their specialties and recruit new people in the future." Targeted recruitment.”

Professor Ni enjoyed the boss's praise very much and said: "Good wishes, Mr. Li!"

Li Yunhai said: "After the Scientific Research Institute is subdivided, a rising tide lifts all boats. You are the chief dean! You have been promoted to one level!"

Professor Ni said: "In this case, wouldn't there be many more dean positions in the scientific research institute?"

"Yes, I have to ask you to put more effort into recommending relevant candidates."

"This is no problem!"

"Professor Ni, we still need to recruit a large number of scientific research talents, especially those in graphics card technology. As long as there are talents in this field, whether at home or abroad, we can spend a lot of money to recruit them. There are plenty of talents in Qingbei Shanggao, and we must also think about it. We can recruit them here. If they can earn the same income at home, I believe many talents will choose to stay in China.”

"Since ancient times, it has been believed that studying is just for the sake of promotion and wealth!" Professor Ni said, "If you make great achievements but cannot get promotion and wealth, then people will definitely have complaints. This is also the reason why they run away."

Li Yunhai said: "So we have to break down the barriers to talent promotion, and we can't use seniority. Whoever has the ability can be the project leader. Whoever overcomes difficulties can get generous bonuses and can also be promoted. Chance."

Professor Ni said: "It would be best to form a promotion mechanism. When governed by people, we must obey people's arrangements. Under rule of law, everyone must act in accordance with the laws. In a society governed by people, ordinary people may be worse than dogs. This is why we want The basic reason for building a legal society." The more the two chatted, the more they became more and more speculative.

The dealer who had already placed the order came over to greet Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai told them that they would have dinner in the banquet hall of the Sihai Tianhua Hotel in the evening and that everyone would settle the matter on their own at noon, and the company would not entertain them together.

The dealer came all the way, and of course he had to stay for a day or two, and he definitely had to attend the dinner.

Li Yunhai's phone rang.

When he saw that the call was from Li Juan, he smiled at Professor Ni and said, "Lianxiang Company couldn't sit still anymore and called me."

Professor Ni smiled softly.

Li Yunhai answered the phone and said hello.

Li Juan's sweet laughter came: "Brother Li, have you finished your press conference?"

"Asking knowingly! You didn't know that you would call me after I finished driving? Tell me, have you arranged a few undercover agents to be here with me?"

"Hehe, no, a friend just told me that your press conference was a success! I congratulate you."

"Thank you! I thought you were here to provoke me!"

"I'm going to challenge you by the way! I wonder how many orders you can get? Can you reveal it? Let me also express the shock of a passerby!"

"Not out yet."

"Then we will contact you in the evening, and I will also tell you the data from Lianxiang Company. Let's encourage each other and work together! Do you agree?"

"Hey, have you changed your temper? When you left Xizhou, you were so arrogant that you wanted to defeat me right away."

"I was indeed a little complacent at that time, and my heart was as high as the sky. I made you laugh! You have a lot of money, so you won't be angry with my sister, right?"

Li Yunhai already knew that this little girl looked innocent and cute, but was actually very scheming. If he believed her, he would probably die without knowing how.

"Don't be angry!" Li Yunhai said calmly, "I heard that your new mobile phone is a copycat of ours?"

"It's just a reference! Hey, how did you know? Our information was sealed very tightly and was not made public until today. It turns out that you are on our side and also arranged an undercover agent?"

"What a word! What a wonderful use! I really don't have any undercover agents, but I have many friends!"

"If you take fifty steps, you don't have to laugh at one hundred steps. You won't be angry that we borrowed your products, right?"

"Learn from it? That's right. How can a businessman's business be called stealing?"

"Brother Li, you love me the most. Just tell me. Will you sue us?"

"Are you afraid to sue you? If you were afraid, you wouldn't steal."

"Brother Li, I'm not stealing! I'm paying tribute to the classics! I'm your little fan girl, and I take you as my idol. Who can I learn from you? You also know that we are bad at everything. If we compete, it will definitely be a competition. But for you, you can eat meat and we can drink some soup. So please don’t be offended. The prime minister’s belly can hold a boat!”

"Okay, it makes me sick to death! I won't sue you! However," Li Yunhai said solemnly, "I have a request."

"What request? You said, as long as I can make the decision, I will definitely agree."

"For every mobile phone you sell, give me one dollar in royalties. Isn't that excessive?"

"One dollar for a mobile phone? That's quite a lot!"

"Is this still a lot? You have been learning from me for so long. Do I want to pay you a penny? Just treat it as the master's fee! In this way, I also have an explanation to the company's legal department. And you can also be fair and aboveboard. promotion of."

"Yeah, that makes sense! I'll give you the price, can it be one dollar?"

"You don't call this a counteroffer, you call it sending a beggar away."

"Okay, if you say one dollar, it's just one dollar. I can still make the decision on this little thing. Who made us really learn from your products! Hee hee! Thank you, Brother Li, for making it happen! I love you!"

"It's so disgusting! Goodbye!"

Li Yunhai trembled and hung up the phone.

Professor Ni heard from the side, gave a thumbs up, and laughed: "Mr. Li is still smart! Now I can sit at home and collect money."

Li Yunhai said: "I estimate that they can sell about one million units, and I can also earn US$7 million! Isn't this more cost-effective than going to court? It doesn't cost any money, and you can still make money."

Professor Ni sighed: "How else can you make money! Turn enemies into friends and get the best of both worlds!"

Li Yunhai said: "Li Juan is indeed very smart. She used this move first and then played it out, and she used it very skillfully. She knew that if she asked for permission in advance, I would definitely not agree to their imitation. They imitated it first, and then reported it to me. Agree to my request and their goal will be achieved."

Professor Ni said: "It's just a little cleverness! Break through ten guilds with one force! People who are truly capable don't care about these little clevernesses."

I was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon before the statistics were completed here.

Shen Xiulan handed the final summary of orders to Li Yunhai and said with a smile, "Guess what our total turnover is?"

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li just guessed it and said it would be around US$40 billion!"

Shen Xiulan chuckled and said, "Guessed wrong! Guess again."

Li Yunhai said: "Did I miss the guess? Five billion US dollars?"

Shen Xiulan snapped her fingers with her right hand and said, "It's almost the same, you can see for yourself!"

Li Yunhai couldn't help being shocked!
50 billion dollars!
In 1993, the U.S. dollar exchange rate was extremely unstable, with only 5.7 at the beginning of the year. In May, the country lifted the price limit, and the U.S. dollar-RMB exchange rate depreciated in the market, once falling to 11.20 RMB per U.S. dollar.
Subsequently, as the country strengthened macroeconomic control and the People's Bank of China intervened in the market, the exchange rate fell back to 8.72 yuan per US dollar at the end of the year.

No matter how you calculate it, 50 billion US dollars is equivalent to 400 billion yuan!

This achievement is the first time in the history of Sihai Group!
You must know that the turnover of one Canton Fair is more than 10 billion US dollars!
Sihai Group held a press conference and was able to capture half of the Canton Fair's turnover?

If such incredible results were known to the outside world, we don’t know how big of a chain reaction it would have!

Li Yunhai looked at the order statistics table and found that the main orders were still concentrated on Meihua third-generation mobile phones.

This was within his expectations.

The third generation of Meihua mobile phones has been warmed up for a long time. In the past few months, the popularity of this music mobile phone has not dropped.

The world's first music phone!

This gimmick was successfully hyped by Li Yunhai!
In addition to mobile phones, sales of computers and printers are good, followed by graphics cards.

Sihai graphics card is a new product. Unexpectedly, it has received strong support from dealers just after it was launched.

Shen Xiulan said: "Orders are mainly concentrated on mobile phones. In fact, this sales volume is not too much."

Li Yunhai nodded slowly.

The sales volume of Plum Blossom 2 exceeded million units, approaching million units!
Each mobile phone sells for more than 10,000 yuan, which is more than 100 billion in sales.

But this is the retail price.

Sihai Group supplies to dealers at wholesale prices, so the factory's profits are of course limited.

During this period, the mobile phone industry was considered a hugely profitable industry.

Each brand's mobile phone profits vary. Like Apple in later generations, you can earn about 1500 yuan per unit sold. Samsung's mobile phone prices range from high to low. On average, they earn 262 yuan per mobile phone sold.

For genuine Meihua mobile phones, the wholesaler's profit is around 20%.

Retailers' profits range from 10% to 30%.

Li Yunhai must fully ensure that every link is profitable, so that everyone will work hard to promote your mobile phone.

This is a huge industrial chain, and it is difficult to get rich by eating alone.

Today's transaction volume is very large, but it is far from reaching the sales limit of Meihua third-generation mobile phones!
After all, the dealer has only placed the first order!
Li Yunhai's sales of the third generation of Meihua exceeded 30 million units, setting a new record for global mobile phone sales! (End of chapter)
