After shaking hands with each other, Li Ran and Yang Yuanqing sat opposite each other, and Zhao Ya sat on his left.

"Mr. Yang has been waiting for a long time. Li Ran said with a little apology.

Yang Yuanqing: "No, I just arrived, and Mr. Li is polite." ”

Li Ran smiled and didn't speak again. Originally, it was just a polite gesture, the appointed time was two o'clock, and now it is one and fifty, he is not late, but Yang Yuanqing arrived first to wait for him, so he just said a few words.

Soon after the three of them were seated, a waiter came to order. The waitress who ordered the order was still a white girl, which made Li Ran quite curious about this store.

After all, it is not the afterlife, and the reform and opening up has not been long in coming. In the 90s, most people in Western countries still had a dreadlocked, robe-wearing Manchu image of China, and it was a bit surprising that an all-white café opened in the mainland.

However, he thought about it, this is the embassy area, and there are many foreigners. With this demand, it is not surprising that there is such a store.

The waiter also spoke English when ordering, he didn't speak English well, and he didn't plan to be ugly, so he told Zhao Ya next to him that he wanted a latte and asked her to order it for herself.

He is not used to drinking simple coffee, even if it is sweetened with milk. And the special latte, which is similar to milk tea, tastes more agreeable.

Yang Yuanqing came early, and there was already a cup of coffee in front of him. After Zhao Ya helped Li Ran and herself order coffee, Yang Yuanqing ordered a few more plates of dim sum.

The waiter ordered the order and turned to leave, Yang Yuanqing looked at Li Ran and smiled and said, "I took the liberty to invite Mr. Li to meet, but I couldn't find a suitable place for a while." After thinking about it, I think this place is not bad, the coffee tastes very pure, and I often come here to drink. So it's arranged here, please forgive me for any inconsiderateness. ”

Li Ran said: "No, the environment here is very good, and ordinary people must not be able to find such a good place." ”

What he said was definitely from his heart, and it is not so easy to find an ordinary café in Yanjing City now. There are still a few low-grade shops in some bustling office business districts, and there are basically no ordinary streets. And like this, I am afraid that there are few in Yanjing with a higher grade and unique style.

Yang Yuanqing: "Yes, this store is really not easy to find, and I also came here once last year when I accompanied the chairman to discuss business with a few Hong Kong people." After that, I fell in love with this place, so I come often. ”

"Is it Liu Chuanzhi, Mr. Liu?" Li Ran asked curiously, he nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

In fact, you don't need to ask to know that the chairman of the board of directors in his mouth will have no one else except that bull.

For this "big bull", Li Ran can be said to have admired him for a long time. In the 80s, with 200,000 yuan and more than a dozen scientific researchers, Lenovo became the world's first in the field of consumer computers, a national brand in the true sense, and almost the first high-tech product in China to go to the world.

Lenovo is really of great significance to Huaxia. In the textbooks of the previous life, the development case of Lenovo was mentioned more than once, and the old professor who taught Li Ran industrial economics had experienced this era, although he was very unaccustomed to Lenovo's dismissal of Mr. Ni, but he has always respected the development of Lenovo.

However, compared with the development of Lenovo, in fact, the real reason why Li Ran admired Liu Chuanzhi was his treatment of Sun Hongbin. Shoot when it's time to do it, without mercy. But afterwards, he let him go very much, not worried about his revenge at all, and then made a comeback with a generous investment.

After knowing about Liu Chuanzhi and Sun Hongbin, Li Ran thought differently for a while, and finally found that he could not be like others.

What he has always pursued is to fight snakes and not die, but to suffer from them. So although his character belongs to the kind of person who does not offend me, I will not offend others, but once he makes up his mind to deal with someone, it is absolutely that the person he wants to fight will never be able to turn over. There is no possibility of letting the other party go, let alone helping him make a comeback.

It is precisely this gap in the realm that Li Ran has always respected Liu Chuanzhi very much. Naturally, with a hint of yearning, he half-jokingly said to Yang Yuanqing: "I don't know when I will have the opportunity to meet Mr. Liu, and I can learn from my predecessors." ”

Of course, Li Ran would not ask Yang Yuanqing, who met for the first time, to take him to see Liu Chuanzhi with a cheeky face, after all, although the current status of Lenovo is not as high as that of later generations, you must know that Lenovo will be listed in Hong Kong in February this year.

Different from the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges in the mainland, in this era, mainland companies that dare to go to Hong Kong to list in this context do not have a certain influence, who will bird you. It can be seen that Lenovo is not comparable to the current Wanjia even now, and Liu Chuanzhi, as the chairman of Lenovo, is not easy for him to see.

However, when he said that he wanted to see Liu Chuan, Yang Yuanqing said something that surprised him very much. He said, "If Mr. Li really wants to see Mr. Liu, it's not impossible?"

"What does Mr. Yang mean, I can have the honor to see Mr. Liu once?" Li Ran narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Although he wanted to meet the person he had admired for a long time, it was just a small wish, and it didn't mean that he would have to fulfill it. It's nice to have the opportunity to meet him, but if it's a matter of interest, then he doesn't care about anyone.

Yang Yuanqing obviously didn't know what he thought, and of course he wouldn't care even if he knew. After listening to his words, he didn't answer Li Ran directly, but asked, "Does Mr. Li know why I asked you for an interview this time?"

"I don't know the purpose of Mr. Yang's search for me. Li Ran replied calmly. But after a change of words, he continued: "But I know that Yang is always the new general manager of your company's microcomputer division. ”

Before Li Ran's words fell, Yang Yuanqing's eyes froze, and he immediately said: "Mr. Li really deserves his reputation, no wonder he can develop Wanjia to this point in half a year." ”

"Mr. Yang has won the award, and the current Wanjia is not worth mentioning compared to Lenovo. Li Ran smiled and said modestly. At the same time, he was even more sure that Yang Yuanqing was looking for him for Lenovo's personal computer sales.

In fact, at the beginning, he guessed in his heart that the reason why Yang Yuanqing was looking for him was that he fell in love with Wanjia's sales channels in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. At this time, Yang Yuanqing obviously has not come up with the sales concept of distribution, as the general manager of the newly established microcomputer division, he wants to increase the sales of Lenovo computers, so he naturally can't ignore retail enterprises like Wanjia.

Since it was impossible to ignore it, Li Ran also vaguely told him that he knew his purpose, which meant to let him talk directly.

After understanding the implicit meaning of his words, Yang Yuanqing said bluntly: "Since Mr. Li knows my purpose, then I won't beat around the bush, just say it directly." He paused and continued.

"I just took over as the general manager of the company's microcomputer department, and the whole company is watching, and I want to make a difference. Therefore, I hope to reach a cooperation with your company to make Lenovo products appear in your stores around the world. After speaking, Yang Yuanqing looked at Li Ran, perhaps wanting to see his thoughts from his face.

Li Ran didn't expect Yang Yuanqing to say it so straightforwardly at first, because it would put him on the passive side. This is very disadvantageous in business negotiations, and Li Ran does not believe that Yang Yuanqing does not know this.

But when he thought about it, he found that he had fallen into the trap of habitual thinking. After all, there is no contradiction between the two sides, and cooperation is also a win-win situation. It's nothing more than a ruffle on profits later, so it makes sense for him to say it so bluntly.

But although there was no reason to refuse, Li Ran still did not reply immediately. Cooperation was fine, but there were a few issues that he had to think about what to say.
