Chapter 249: Encounter at the Airport [Ask for Subscription]
Li Yunhai gave a lecture on the ordering link.
In order to encourage dealers to take more goods, Li Yunhai set up rewards.
In 1986, the sales champion was rewarded with a car, the runner-up was awarded a motorcycle, and the third runner-up was awarded a large color TV.
In the 80s, all kinds of lottery and prize activities were very popular, such as fools and melon seeds held an event, in the melon seed package to put lottery tickets, the highest reward is a car.
In this era, the value of a car is not low, and not everyone can have channels to buy it, and rewarding cars can be said to be extremely high-end marketing methods.
In 1986, China's automobile production gradually increased, and Tianjin Dafa and Shanghai Volkswagen successively produced domestic brand cars by assembling SKD parts. The state began to relax restrictions on private car purchases, and the first private license plate Shanghai AZ0001 in the real sense was also born in this year.
Li Yunhai's current cars are all purchased in the name of the company.
And when he held the dealer conference, this policy had not yet been introduced.
So he said that reward cars, for these dealers, is very attractive.
If a dealer proposes it, can you see the goods on site?
Li Yunhai had already prepared, and asked someone to bring in prototypes of various machines, which were placed on both sides of the auditorium, and let everyone go to visit.
The company's employees explained what model and what machine it was.
The dealers are interested in different machines, but the assembly machine and the typewriter are the most crowded.
Everyone gathered around the computer typewriter in the four seas, talking non-stop, and some people stepped forward to operate, shouting while typing: "This machine can be, it is very convenient, all the functions are displayed on the screen, at a glance." I want to order this machine, I want to order 1000 units! β
Shen Xiulan led the people from the finance department, who were already ready under the podium, where a row of desks was placed, and those who needed to place orders were registered here.
Sihai Group has always been the first payment after the goods, after the order to pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan, if the breach of contract, the deposit will not be refunded.
The dealer asked, "When will the second-generation typewriter be shipped?" β
The staff has long been trained in a unified manner and said: "The new model is for pre-sale. Unified delivery after the year, the earliest Spring Festival will be out, that is, after March 10th, this is a new product, the production capacity of the touch screen is limited. β
"It will take more than a month to ship?"
"Yes, on a first-served, first-served basis. Whoever pays for the goods to our company's account first, we will also give priority to who to ship. β
"What are we selling this month?"
"You can sell the first generation of typewriters!"
"The price of the first generation of typewriters is 7,000, right?"
"The unified price adjustment of the old model will not be counted until the new model is fully distributed. That is, the price will be reduced after March 10. Now the price of the goods is still 10,000 yuan, and the retail price is unchanged, which is still 13,800 yuan. β
"Huh? So how do we get the goods? β
"You can take some of the first generation of products less. Pre-order more second-generation products. During the Chinese New Year, you can take as much as you think you can sell. β
Li Yunhai did this by clearing the first generation of products.
The first generation of typewriters, there are not many goods in his warehouse, and clearance will definitely not be a problem.
After the second generation of products is launched, the sales volume will definitely cover the first generation of products.
Even if someone continues to order the first generation of the product, he can still sell it and attract customers with low prices.
And with this one-month buffer period, the first generation of typewriters in the hands of various dealers will definitely sell about the same.
Although Li Yunhai promised that he could recycle the goods that had not been sold out before in the hands of buyers.
But for buyers, if they can sell out at a low price within this month, it is of course the best, and it saves the trouble of moving around.
Even if you want to sell a typewriter for 12,800 yuan, and the first-generation typewriter of Sihai, the price is only 10,000 yuan, even if it is dumped at the purchase price, it is better than taking it back to the company to exchange the goods.
In fact, the sales momentum of typewriters in the four seas has been very strong, and it is not to the extent of dumping at low prices.
At most, as long as it is reduced to the same price as Lenovo typewriters, there will be no worries about sales.
This is also the method adopted by Li Yunhai to advance by retreating.
The staff of Sihai Group created a tense pre-sale atmosphere, constantly emphasizing how good the second-generation typewriter is, how expensive the touch screen is, and the limited output is to pull orders.
Everyone heard that the production of second-generation typewriters was tight, so they rushed to place orders.
Someone shouted:
"I order 100 second-generation aircraft!"
Someone shouted:
"Get out of the way of 100 units, I want to order 500 units!"
Someone else shouted:
"Let 500 units go first, and I will order 1,000 second-generation aircraft!"
Someone else asked, "Can I buy a prototype and go back?" Put it in the store for customers to see, if there are many people who consult, I can also get more goods! β
The staff replied that of course it can, but the prototype is limited, and only dealers who purchase more than 200 units can purchase additional prototypes.
This is another trap designed by Li Yunhai.
He only has 200 prototypes in his hands, and if every dealer takes them, the prototypes will definitely not be enough.
So he deliberately set a high threshold and allowed powerful dealers to buy prototypes.
This time, if the dealer wants to get the prototype, he must increase the number of orders.
200 second-generation typewriters, the purchase price is 2.4 million!
Dealers who can reach a value of more than 2 million are definitely high-quality partners.
In 1986, two years after the development of the private sector and almost a decade after the development of the individual economy, those who had the courage and courage had already taken advantage of the east wind of reform and earned the first pot of gold.
In this era, there are many people who make a fortune by dumping agricultural and sideline products. Many people used to sell pork, eggs, and fish, and after earning their first pot of gold, they wanted to switch careers to high-tech industries.
Li Yunhai once heard a story about an eldest sister who sold eggs in a certain place, and in just a few years, she earned a net worth of tens of millions. With the reform of China's price system, these egg sellers will also make a fortune, because the price of eggs will rise exponentially.
This is truly a time of opportunity.
No matter what industry you are in, you can become a multi-millionaire by accident.
With the gradual popularization of office equipment in China, many people with flexible minds have smelled business opportunities and begun to enter this industry.
In recent years, it has also been a golden decade for the rapid development of the domestic office equipment industry.
Many technology companies have made a fortune by selling Han cards, typewriters, computers, and photocopiers.
The cost of ordinary people is limited, and it is great to be able to run one of them well.
Li Yunhai has integrated into a group company!
At the dealer conference, there were many people who placed orders on the spot.
No matter what project he is working on, he will order a batch of second-generation Sihai computer typewriters.
This product has been unanimously loved by everyone.
There are also dealers at the scene.
These people come from relatively remote places, and after they see the advertisement, they rush to Xizhou, but they have no choice but to travel a long way, just by car or boat, it takes two or three days.
By the time they arrived, the dealer conference was coming to an end.
Personnel were arranged on the spot to receive and promote the products to these latecomers individually.
200 second-generation typewriters were sold out!
Li Yunhai has not yet counted the orders, but he can probably calculate it.
There are at least 200 dealers on site, and 200 second-generation aircraft have been purchased.
That's 40,000 units!
Worth 400 million!
Coupled with other orders, wouldn't today's dealer conference really reach 800 million as Lin Zhi said?
It's so brutal!
Li Yunhai couldn't help but sigh, he still underestimated the wallets of the Chinese people!
Orders will continue to heat up!
Lin Zhi ran to Li Yunhai and said with a smile: "What did I say last night?" Eight hundred million, eight hundred million! β
Li Yunhai laughed and said, "You are such a cutie!" Maybe you can really get 800 million? β
"If there are so many, you'll have to reward me?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you want."
"No, I don't lack anything! You're all there is to it! β
Li Yunhai looked at his fiancΓ©e with a happy smile on his face, and suddenly felt that there was a hot gaze staring at him, so he turned his head to look, and he happened to meet Shen Xiulan's eyes.
Shen Xiulan sat in the front row of the finance seat and beckoned to him.
Li Yunhai walked over, bent down and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Shen Xiulan held a large stack of materials in her hand and said: "Yunhai, there are the most people who purchase assembly machines, second-hand photocopiers, and second-generation typewriters, and the most orders, have you ever wondered if our production capacity can keep up?" Don't forget, we still have to participate in the Canton Fair in April! β
Li Yunhai touched his chin and groaned, and asked: "Everything else is easy to say, assembly machines and second-hand photocopiers, we still have goods in the warehouse, and I have enough stock." How many orders are there for the second-generation typewriter now? β
"Nearly 50,000 orders!"
"So much?"
"Yes! 50,000 units, with the production capacity of the Shanghai Typewriter Factory, it will take two months, right? β
"I am not worried about the assembly capacity, one factory does not have enough capacity, I can find two more factories to cooperate. The most troublesome thing now is the touch screen. β
"yes, how many screens did you procure this time?"
"Twenty thousand."
"Too little! I estimate that I will be able to receive more than 60,000 orders today, plus the Canton Fair orders in April, the number will exceed 100,000 units! β
"That's a problem."
"Can't you hurry up and place an order?"
"It's not a matter of not being able to place an order now. I wanted to buy the patent for the invention of resistive touch screens, and the other party agreed to sell it to me for $2 million. β
"So what?"
"What I'm worried about now is that if we suddenly buy a lot of touchscreens, it will attract the attention of the patent owner, and he may realize that the spring of touchscreens is coming, and then raise the patent transfer price, or even stop selling to us."
"Possibly, people are all after profit. So what to do? β
"In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, I want to fly to the United States and take down this patent first."
"Are you going to leave soon?"
"Well, I'm going to go to the United States as soon as possible."
"Do you have a visa?"
"I wanted to go to the United States before, so I have already applied for a passport, because I am going to invest, and I have been invited by the United States company, and their embassy quickly applied for a visa for me. I have already obtained a business visa for tourists in the United States. The visa is valid for one year from the day the visa is issued, and can be visited multiple times within one year. β
"You're alone? Or with Nyingchi? β
"Where does she have a visa? Of course, I was the only one to go. β
"Are you going to the United States alone? That's too dangerous, right? I've heard that the country is very chaotic! β
"Everywhere there is chaos, and there are chaotic people. This one doesn't have to worry about. If there is really chaos everywhere, how can the United States develop at a high speed? β
"Makes sense. Then be careful all the way! When you get there, remember to give me a call. β
Li Yunhai saw that her eyes were full of concern, and smiled slightly: "Okay." β
He returned to Nyingchi and said that he was going to the United States.
Lin Zhi sighed: "Go to the United States? Didn't you say okay and go back after the New Year? β
"Businessmen always focus on affairs. If you don't have a New Year, you have it every year anyway. β
"However, there are really only a few days before the New Year, are you sure you want to go to the United States?"
"In a week, maybe I'll be able to get back. Buying the touch screen technology of the United States is a top priority. β
He told Lin Zhi about his analysis and concerns.
Lin Zhi expressed his understanding and said, "But my visa hasn't been issued yet!" You went out this time, didn't you take me with you? β
"Linzhi, the company has a lot of things to do, and you have also seen it, we have received so many orders today, so you can stay, and work with Sister Guo and Aunt Guo to handle the orders and arrange production. I'm just going to sign an agreement, and I'll come back when it's done. I'll take you on a trip abroad next year, okay? β
"Okay!" Lin Zhi is not a vexatious person, although he is extremely reluctant, he can only obey Li Yunhai and say, "Are you going alone?" Take Zhuang Yong there? β
"No need, I'll go and sign a contract and come back alone. Over there, no one knows me, so nothing can happen. So many big stars and rich people have gone to the United States, and I haven't heard of anyone being killed over there. β
Guo Wanhua heard that he was going to the United States soon, and she also sighed faintly, because she couldn't leave without something, and she definitely couldn't accompany her.
Li Yunhai immediately contacted Professor Ni and said that I would go to the United States today, and asked him to contact the United States and ask them to prepare all the materials, and they could sign the contract when Li Yunhai arrived.
Guo Wanhua and Shi Wentao both have friends and business partners in the United States, and they told Li Yunhai the contact information of their friends, and if they encounter anything over there, they can solve it.
Li Yunhai wrote down the contact information of these people, maybe he can really use it?
Chen Wanzhao used to invest in the rice state, and there was a branch there, but now it is managed by his eldest son, Chen Guangxin.
Guo Wanhua contacted Chen Guangxin, and she transferred 2 million from Xiangjiang's account to Chen Guangxin's account in the United States branch, and Li Yunhai went to the United States to conduct transactions, and directly transferred or withdrawn cash there, reducing the waiting time for transfers.
Chen Guangxin agreed, saying that if you are in a hurry to use the money, you can advance from the Mi branch first, and then we will settle it slowly.
Guo Wanhua said that the funds would be used in two days, and asked Chen Guangxin to be ready.
Lin Zhi asked Li Yunhai: "Then are you going to Shanghai to take a plane?" β
Li Yunhai nodded yes, and said, "The family affairs will be handed over to you." β
Lin Zhi asked, "You said before that you were going to hold a typing competition, but can you still hold it?" β
Li Yunhai said: "It's just like this, after the New Year, we will advertise in the newspaper to solicit typists from all over the country to participate in the competition, and we will set the competition reward a little higher, and there will definitely be many people who will participate." In the end, the winner must be our typewriter from all over the world! At that time, it was more possible to become famous in one fight. β
"Well, I'll wait until you get back. Yunhai, I'll take you to the station. β
"No need, man, ambition! There are so many dealers on site, you stay here to help. β
Li Yunhai said goodbye to everyone, returned home to pack his things, and hurried to the train station.
When he decided to go to the United States, he arranged for someone to go to the station to buy an express sleeper ticket to Shanghai.
From Xizhou to Shanghai, it takes more than ten hours.
Li Yunhai got out of the car to read and sleep.
The journey was unimpeded and arrived in Shanghai.
Li Yunhai took a taxi to the airport and bought a ticket to the United States.
Approaching the end of the year, not many people go abroad.
Li Yunhai successfully bought a ticket to the United States.
January 1981 was an important moment in the history of China's civil aviation. At that time, the civil aviation Beijin-Shanghai-San Francisco-New York route was officially opened, with a total distance of more than 15,000 kilometers.
Li Yunhai will board the plane in Shanghai.
The Mr. Semir Haast he was going to meet was in Kentucky, the United States.
This is a state in the eastern part of the country.
Li Yunhai has learned that this state is 5,000 kilometers from San Francisco and 900 kilometers from New York.
In other words, if Li Yunhai wants to meet with Haast, it is best to fly to New York and get off the plane.
It will be a very long journey, and it will take about a dozen hours to take him by train from Xizhou to Shanghai.
Li Yunhai bought two newspapers at the airport and brought them to the plane to read.
He sat in the departure lounge waiting for boarding.
Suddenly, he saw that the woman next to him seemed to be a little familiar.
Although she wears sunglasses, her outstanding temperament is still recognizable at a glance.
The beauties of this era are not as uniform as awl faces and thin paintings.
The beauties on the screen have their own characteristics, which are unforgettable, and you can recognize her at a glance.
For example, the one in front of him, Li Yunhai also watched a movie starring her not long ago.
"You're Miss Gong, aren't you?"
The woman turned her head slightly, glanced at Li Yunhai, and did not speak.
Li Yunhai recognized her, she was indeed the female star with clear eyes, beautiful and generous, and popular.
"If you're going to the United States, right?" Li Yunhai asked, "I've heard everything about you." β
The woman picked up the newspaper on her lap and held it high, covering her face with a look of seclusion.
Li Yunhai smiled helplessly.
Recently, the news about this beauty has been very loud.
However, Li Yunhai knew that she was wronged.
Regarding her affairs, Li Yunhai can only love and help.
The 80s were really a time of great polarization.
There are people who are extremely open-minded, even more open-minded than they are 40 years from now.
But some people are extremely old-fashioned, even more old-fashioned than the old feudal.
The collision of these two currents of thought has caused many people to get hurt and then leave the country to develop abroad.
This beauty in front of me is like this.
Li Yunhai coughed lightly and said, "I know that you were wronged, and you are just escaping when you go abroad, and it will not solve the problem." β
The woman ignored him, and it was clear that she, who had just been extremely hurt, did not want to talk to anyone.
The reason why she chose to leave her motherland was also because she wanted to fly away from now on and no longer have contact with everything she was familiar with in China. Find a pure land and live a life without contention.
Li Yunhai saw that she refused to be thousands of miles away, so he stopped talking to her and said, "I'm sorry, I think I recognized the wrong person." (End of chapter)
