The history of Xinhua Bookstore can be traced back to 1937, it is the official bookstore of the country, the leader of the bookstore industry, and the behemoth in the eyes of all bookstore people.

In order to cope with the pressure brought by Xinhua Bookstore, Li Lin worked overtime until late at night for 3 consecutive days, making various data to increase the winning rate.

Daughter-in-law Liu Pandi also racked her brains to help Li Lin come up with ideas, and secretly scolded Bianjing Xinhua Bookstore in her heart for being a bastard, why should she rob my husband's business!

After making preparations, Li Lin drove back to Lan County, and on the day of the bidding, he joined five other bookstores, including Xinhua Bookstore, in bidding for 30,000 books in the Lan County Library.

There are three most important factors that want to win in the bidding competition, and in order of importance, they are relationship, ability, and price, with price coming last.

Li Lin thinks that he can wrestle with Xinhua Bookstore, and he thinks that his three elements are worthy of the other party.

The Library Expansion Working Committee reviewed 5 bids in detail and eliminated 4 bookstores after comprehensive comparison.

Inform Xinhua Bookstore and Wanjuan Wholesale to prepare for an interview campaign, and the winning bidder will be selected between the two.

After receiving the notice, Li Lin called a meeting with the staff, fully charged the notebook that night, and came to the library the next day as promised.

In front of the square of the library building, Duan Chun, the sales manager of Xinhua Bookstore in Bianjing City, shook hands with Li Lin cordially.

Duan Chun said: "It turns out that my competitor is a young man who is not as good as the weak crown, and Boss Li's achievements make an old guy like me embarrassed. ”

Xinhua's original bidder was not Duan Chun, but a deputy manager under him, and Duan Chun received instructions from the leader last night and rushed to Lan County overnight to personally take charge of the bidding.

Li Lin said modestly: "I don't think Manager Duan can describe himself as an old guy, as the saying goes, a man is forty is a flower." ”

Duan Chun said: "No wonder my leader asked me to be personally responsible for the bidding, Boss Li's ability should not be underestimated." ”

Li Lin was humble again: "Thank you and your leaders for the importance they attach to me, I will not live up to your trust." ”

Duan Chun laughed: "The leader gave me a death order, and I must eat the second bid of the Lan County Library, so I feel sorry for Boss Li." ”

Li Lin said: "It seems that Manager Duan feels that he has the chance to win, and he really didn't take me Li Lin in his eyes." ”

Duan Chun shook his head: "Boss Li, don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't take you seriously, but our Xinhua Bookstore has the strength to laugh and be proud." ”

This is a bit arrogant, Li Lin also shook his head: "I think you can be arrogant but not arrogant, and it is not certain who will kill the deer." ”

Duan Chun laughed: "Mr. Li's words also have some truth, so let's wait and see." ”

Li Lin was suddenly in no mood to deal with Duan Chun, glared at his daughter-in-law who was getting closer and closer, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Liu Pandi smiled coquettishly: "People specially asked for leave to come to cheer you on, I want to surprise you." ”

Li Lin rolled his eyes: "Don't tell me before you come, you're frightened and not surprised." ”

Liu Pandi said: "I'm safe with Sister Qin, don't be angry." ”

At this time, the library staff asked the bidders to enter, and Liu Pandi followed her husband with a laptop, opened the notebook and put it in front of her husband, and then sat beside her husband obediently.

A few minutes later, the bidding team entered the venue, including Director Qu and two directors of the Cultural Bureau, as well as two unknown leaders.

After the leaders took their seats, they took out pens and notebooks, and Director Qu first introduced the four leaders, and began to preside over the meeting after the introduction.

Director Qu said: "Both of you are very powerful pavilion distributors, but there is only one winner in the end, please be ready to run." ”

A trace of disdain flashed in Duan Chun's eyes, and he really wanted to ask Director Qu, where did a small company that had just entered the industry come from, were you kidding.

Director Qu said: "What we want is a powerful partner, and now I ask a few small questions on behalf of the Lan County Cultural Bureau and ask the two bosses to answer them enthusiastically." ”

After speaking, he picked up the list of books, looked at it a few times, and then asked with a smile: "Both of you have the list we provide in your hands, now please name the relevant information of "White Deer Plain" in the list." ”

The staff of Xinhua Bookstore immediately rummaged through the materials, and there was a commotion in the conference room.

Li Lin operated the computer to query the data of the spreadsheet, raised his head and said: "The 1993 edition of the People's Literature Publishing House has a total of 496,000 words and is priced at 13.96 yuan. ”

The staff of Xinhua Bookstore stopped what they were doing and looked at the laptop in dismay, Duan Chun's eyes flashed solemnly.

The leaders on the stage smiled one after another, and Director Qu was happy in his heart, and he hoped to continue to cooperate with Li Lin.

Liu Pandi looked at her husband's side face affectionately, thinking carefully that she was full of pride.

Duan Chun squinted his eyes and ordered his subordinates: "Give me a little bit of profit." ”

Director Qu continued to flip through the list, coughed and said, "Please introduce the ordinary world." ”

Xinhua's employees immediately quickly rummaged through the list, and Li Lin said lightly: "The 1995 edition of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing House, a total of 3 books with more than one million words, priced at 29.5 yuan. ”

Duan Chun sighed helplessly, his friend said that the human brain is not as good as a computer, he was very unconvinced before, but now he is convinced.

Li Lin also felt bored, this situation is a dimensionality reduction strike, how can a person's speed be faster than a computer?

Director Qu smiled and said, "Please be ready to answer questions about how many books in the list are published by the People's Education Publishing House." ”

The employees of Xinhua were instantly confused, the list was not sorted according to the publishing house, and it would be impossible to count the data that Director Qu wanted for a while.

Li Lin simply sifted through the spreadsheet and said unhurriedly: "There are 9,824 books in the People's Education Society. ”

The leaders applauded, and Li Lin's men also applauded, and the loudest applause was Li Lin's daughter-in-law.

Duan Chun's face was ugly, and he opened his mouth to say to Director Qu, "Isn't this a bit unfair?" We don't have a computer with us, so the statistics are certainly not fast. ”

Curator Qu asked gently, "Why doesn't Manager Duan bring a computer?" Don't you pay attention to the bidding work of our county library? ”

This is the upper outline, Duan Chun immediately defended: "Curator Qu misunderstood, the store is full of desktop computers and cannot be moved casually." ”

Curator Qu turned around to ask for the opinions of the leaders, and the four leaders handed him the note.

Lao Qu laughed after reading the note: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, the four leaders all support the winning bid of 10,000 rolls, then I can only follow the opinions of the leaders to announce that Boss Li won the bid." ”

The applause rang out again, Li Lin smiled and came to the stage to shake hands with the leaders, turned around and walked to Duan Chun and said, "Thank you Manager Duan for agreeing, Li Lin is grateful." ”

Duan Chunpi smiled and forced himself to maintain his demeanor, stood up and shook hands with Li Lin: "This time it is Boss Li who is a step ahead, but you won't have such good luck next time." ”

Li Lin said: "Luck is also part of strength. It stands to reason that I should do my best to be a landlord, but unfortunately I am too busy to purchase these 30,000 books, so I won't invite Manager Duan to dinner. ”
