Chapter 254: Erupting in Silence!
Li Yunhai and others saw the oncoming car stop on the front lawn, and they all stepped forward to greet them.
Lin Zhi shouted in surprise and ran over: "Dad, Mom!" How did you guys get here? ”
It was Lin Zhenbang and Tang Yuxia who came!
came with them, as well as Lin Xiaofeng's mother and daughter.
This is the first time that Lin Zhenbang and his wife have come to Li's house after Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi got engaged.
Now that the two families have become in-laws, Li Deming and his wife have already been to the Lin family, and it is also appropriate for the Lin family to come to the Li family for a return visit.
Lin Zhenbang's driver sent Lin Zhi to Li's house last year, so he drove the car over directly.
Lin Zhi was really overjoyed, hugged his mother, and giggled: "Mom! Are you coming and don't tell us? ”
Tang Yuxia stroked her daughter's head and said with a smile: "Let's come to see our daughter, do we still need to ask for instructions and report in advance?" ”
One sentence amused everyone.
Commissioner Zhao and others were all surprised, and stepped forward to meet Lin Zhenbang and shake hands.
After Lin Zhenbang met them, he looked around and said, "This is really a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers!" The air is exceptionally fresh and comfortable! No wonder my Xiaozhi always wants to come here for the New Year! ”
Li Deming smiled from ear to ear and invited everyone to come into the house and sit down.
Lin Zhenbang spent the New Year with his parents in Xizhou, and set off early this morning to come to Li's house.
For a time, Li Yunhai's house was very lively.
After lunch, Commissioner Zhao, Li Yunhai, Lin Zhi and others accompanied Lin Zhenbang to the village.
Lin Zhenbang is wearing a military coat, no matter who he meets on the road, he can chat a few words, ask the villagers how the harvest was last year, and how is the life going?
Li Yunhai knew that the leaders would definitely have to be considerate of the people's feelings.
Lin Zhenbang said in a deep voice: "Ten years have passed, but the material living standards of farmers have not been significantly improved!" ”
Commissioner Zhao hung his hands and said respectfully: "It's our fault, we haven't thought of more ways to make farmers rich." ”
Lin Zhenbang waved his hand vigorously: "It's not just your city!" The development of our province as a whole is backward. ”
Li Yunhai said: "The lives of the people in the village have actually changed a lot, and now there are at least more ways to make money." It's just that most of the villagers still eat in the fields. ”
Lin Zhenbang said: "Even if they are willing to go out to work, they have to have so much work for them to do, don't you say?" The coastal areas were the first to open up, but the number of factories was still limited. We can't just be a big province for exporting talents, but we also need to retain talents in our own province. ”
This is a big game of chess, and Lin Zhenbang still has a long way to go if he wants to play this game well.
Lin Zhenbang and others did not stay overnight in Shiban Village, and returned to the city in the afternoon of the same day.
Amy liked the scenery and wanted to play in the snow, so she stayed.
Li Yunhai and the others stayed at home until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and then returned to the city.
On Monday, the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Sihai Group started construction.
It's February 17th.
The company held a dealer conference a year ago and got 760 million orders, of which the largest sales volume is the second-generation computer typewriter.
A few years ago, Li Yunhai cooperated with CCTV and won the advertising time of TV dramas throughout 1986, as well as the advertising time period before the weather forecast.
In addition, Li Yunhai also bought sponsorship at the end of the two TV series "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", and the name of Sihai Group appeared at the end of these two dramas.
In the Spring Festival of 1986, "Journey to the West" officially broadcast the first 11 episodes on CCTV, all 25 episodes, and it was not until 1988.
At that time, the biggest challenge faced by my country in the production of this kind of fantasy TV series was the production of special effects, and there were no computer special effects at that time, and all special effects were completed with props.
As soon as the show was broadcast, it caused a sensation. From the elderly, to women, children and children, it can be said that almost everyone knows about it.
With the blessing of advertising, Sihai Group's computer typewriter sales have been good.
Last year, 160,000 first-generation typewriters were sold, making Li Yunhai a lot of money.
So the main product he promoted this year is the second-generation typewriter.
At the dealer conference a year ago, the number of reservations reached more than 50,000 units, and the ex-factory price of each unit was 12,000 yuan.
However, this is a reservation, and it will not be counted until the payment is credited to the company's account.
After the New Year, Shen Xiulan counted the payment received, and a total of 600 million yuan was received!
There are still 160 million orders, maybe they haven't paid yet, maybe they have given up.
Li Yunhai and Zhao Jinping discussed, according to the list left by the dealer, find out the ones who did not make the payment, call them one by one for a return visit, and urge them to pay the payment as soon as possible.
Shen Xiulan also classified and counted the purchased products.
Among the payments received, there are only 30,000 second-generation typewriters, 12,000 each, and the total price is 360 million.
For each machine, Li Yunhai can earn 6,500 yuan, a total of 195 million yuan, and pay more than 25 million taxes, with a net profit of 170 million yuan.
The other 240 million payments are assembly machines, glorious toner, and second-hand copiers, and the overall profit is also about 50%.
The dealer conference brought Li Yunhai a net profit of 290 million!
The data calculated by Shen Xiulan will generally not be wrong.
This is already a good sales performance for Sihai Group.
What makes Li Yunhai wonder the most is why so many people give up payment?
And most of this group are dealers who purchase second-generation typewriters.
Zhao Jinping contacted these dealers and quickly got feedback.
It turns out that Lian Xiang Company has made a trick again!
They give rebates to dealers!
Sales of 1 million yuan, rebate 5%.
Sales of more than 10 million yuan, 10% rebate!
That's a discount in disguise!
I have to say that this trick is very effective, and it is much more affordable than the car reward given by Li Yunhai. The jackpot can only be won by one person, but the rebate is available to everyone.
So Lianxiang Company snatched Li Yunhai's order of 20,000 units!
Although the typewriter has obvious advantages, even the typewriter has a good performance.
For dealers, as long as they can type, as long as they are fully functional, they are good typewriters.
What's more, the retail price of Sihai typewriter is 16,800 yuan, which is thousands of yuan higher than that of Lianxiang typewriter.
After Li Yunhai figured out the reason, he decided to fight back.
He had wanted to hold a typing contest before, and now he could implement it.
Li Yunhai originally wanted to hold this competition in the name of Sihai Group.
But he thought about it, if the organizer was himself, and the final winner was his own product, it would inevitably be true.
So, he thought of asking a third-party organization to hold the competition.
The venue of the competition, don't put it in Xizhou and Beijin, the best place is Shanghai.
Li Yunhai contacted newspapers and magazines such as "Electronic World", "Journal of Computer Science", "Children's Computer World", "Electronics and Computers", "Shanghai Science Pictorial", and "Knowledge is Power", and also cooperated with Shanghai Typewriter Factory to jointly hold the first national Chinese typing competition.
This year's Chinese Typing Contest is sponsored and named by Sihai Group.
The competition was divided into three groups.
Children's group, youth group, adult group.
Children aged 6 to 12 years old.
12 to 18 years old is the youth group.
Adults over 18 years old are in the adult category.
The registration, organization and holding of this competition will be held at the Shanghai International Hotel.
The competition is open to all school-age personnel in all provinces, cities and regions across the country.
The registration period starts on February 20 and closes on February 28. Applicants must provide the ID card or household registration book of the contestant.
In order to expand the influence of this competition, and let more people know and participate in this competition, Li Yunhai placed advertisements on CCTV and major mainstream media.
The three groups will compete separately, with one first prize, five second prizes, and 10 third prizes.
In order to improve the active participation of the broad masses of the people, prizes are set up in the competition.
The first prize is awarded a Sihai brand advanced assembly computer, worth 35,000 yuan!
The prize of the second prize is a second-generation computer typewriter worth 16,800 yuan.
The third prize is a computer typewriter of the fourth generation, worth 9,800 yuan.
Such a reward in 1986 was definitely a high reward!
Although they are physical rewards, these items can be sold for cash.
As soon as the advertisement for the first Chinese typing contest of the Sihai Cup was published, tens of thousands of applicants applied!
The number of applicants was so large that the organizers were unexpected.
In this competition, there is no room and board, no reimbursement of round-trip fares, and all expenses are borne by yourself.
There are so many people who have signed up, which shows the enthusiasm of the people for typing.
In order to be fair and impartial, the organizer of the competition will provide all types of typewriters available on the market for contestants to choose from.
It doesn't matter which typewriter you use, as long as you can win.
The first round of auditions will begin on March 1, with the top 50 contestants selected from each group to advance to the finals.
Li Yunhai contacted Gong Jie and asked her to stay in Shanghai without reporting to Sihai Group for the time being, and to be responsible for the organization and management of this typing competition.
In such a competition, you can't cheat, because it is a unified timing, and how many words the contestants can type within the specified time are displayed in black and white.
Li Yunhai provided 200,000 yuan for the competition and handed it over to Gong Jie for management.
Gong Jie helped Li Yunhai for the first time, and it was such a large-scale event, so she should have helped to complete it conscientiously.
By the end of February, registration for the typing contest had ended, with more than 20,000 people signing up.
On March 1, Li Yunhai came to Shanghai with his secretary Su Hong.
Starting at 8 o'clock this morning, the audition for the typing contest will be held in the conference room of the International Hotel.
The Shanghai Typewriter Factory and various magazines, as well as the Sihai Group, each sent a person to be a judge.
The judge on the side of Sihai Group is Su Hong.
The audition is a knockout round, and everyone has three minutes. Those with a typing speed of less than 120 words per minute are basically eliminated on the spot.
100 types of typewriters and 20 types of typewriters were prepared on site.
Because the number of people who choose to even want a typewriter is really small.
Each match can be played by 120 players.
Up to 20 knockout matches can be played in an hour.
Most people sign up for the competition, they focus on participation, and some people seriously overestimate their typing speed. But when I got here, I found that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, and my hand speed can only be regarded as the last stream.
Gong Jie sat next to Li Yunhai and supervised the game on the spot.
"Mr. Li," Gong Jie turned her head and smiled, "I didn't expect that even a few years old elementary school students can type so fast." There was an 11-year-old kid just now, and he could type 150 words per minute, which is amazing, right? ”
Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Typing is a skill, practice makes perfect. Children have a sharp mind, dexterous fingers, and are very good at typing. You went to the United States and came back, what did your family say about you? ”
Gong Jie smiled and said, "They are so happy! I also bought a cake for me to eat! Say it's a celebration of my new life! You're right, they still want me to stay in the country and develop. So, I also decided to stay in China and develop! ”
Li Yunhai was also happy for her and asked, "So, have you thought about it?" The next step is to continue to take the road of film and television performance? Or join my company? ”
Gong Jie smiled: "I want to join your company, but also want to continue performing?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "Of course you can!" I said, I invested in a TV series, you can play a role, right? ”
Gong Jie is now the top of the domestic film and television industry.
If she joins, the sitcom invested by Li Yunhai will definitely get more attention.
Gong Jie thought for a while and said, "I'm your person now, you can arrange whatever you want." ”
Li Yunhai looked at her in surprise.
Gong Jie knew that she was talking too fast, covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm not wrong!" I'm your man! Employees are also people! Don't you? ”
Li Yunhai smiled: "Okay! When the typing contest is over, you and I will go to Huacheng. ”
After the Chinese New Year, Guo Wanhua took her daughter back to Xiangjiang, arranged for her to go to school, and handled the affairs of the Xiangjiang branch.
At the same time, the Huacheng branch will also be formally established, and this part of the work will also be handed over to Guo Wanhua to do.
Lin Zhi and Lin Xiaofeng are located in Xizhou, guarding the base camp of the Sihai Group.
What Li Yunhai is best at is to expand his territory, constantly develop the global market, and focus on the group's grand strategy and development.
More than 20,000 contestants, each with only 3 minutes, and the vast majority of them were eliminated with only this round of opportunities.
By noon, there were more than 50 people in each group who had reached a typing speed of 150 words per minute. This also means that the next players, whose speed is less than 150 words, will be eliminated directly.
The knockout competition does not stop at noon, and the judges take turns to rest.
Li Yunhai invited Gong Jie to dinner.
Because the International Hotel hosted such an important event, the restaurant was full.
Gong Jie smiled: "Why don't you go to my house for dinner?" ”
"Your home?" Li Yunhai hesitated, "Is this appropriate?" ”
"What's wrong with that? I mentioned you to my family, and they thank you so much! Say you saved their daughter. ”
"You can't say that, if you can't have an epiphany yourself, no one will enlighten you. Why don't bother your family? Let's find a restaurant nearby. ”
At this time, there was a table in the restaurant that just sat down, looked at the menu, and silently got up and left.
Li Yunhai and Gong Jie were next to them, and then sat down.
Since its opening in 1930, the International Hotel has been one of the best hotels in Shanghai, with Nanjing Road, People's Square, museums and People's Park all within easy reach.
The Chinese restaurant here is richly decorated and grandly decorated, and the celebrity chef is in charge of cooking original and unique Beijing dishes.
Gong Jie looked at the menu and said with a smile: "I know why the people at the table left just now, because the dishes here are really expensive." ”
Li Yunhai said: "You live in Shanghai, you should often come here to eat, right?" ”
"Occasionally, when I was a child, my parents took me to eat a few times, and when I grew up, I often filmed outside, but I came to eat less. What do you like to eat? ”
"Whatever."
"I looked through the menu and couldn't find a single dish called casual."
"Haha! Beef and shrimp are fine. ”
"Then let's order a salt-and-pepper shrimp and a spicy beef. Then order a braised lion's head and a seasonal vegetable. All right? ”
"Okay."
"Mr. Li, what is the specific plot of the serial drama you are talking about?"
Li Yunhai explained the general content of the sitcom that was being prepared.
Gong Jie became interested when she heard this, and said that she could try it, and she asked with a smile, my sister is also an actress, and she hasn't been filming recently, can you help her arrange for her to come in?
Li Yunhai said yes, then you will join the crew and see if there is any role suitable for her.
The two of them had dinner and came to the large conference room.
Li Yunhai asked Su Hong to eat, and he sat down instead of her.
Su Hong said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect that there are so many typing masters, some people are simply fast in typing, you didn't see it just now, there is a woman who typed 260 words in a minute!" ”
"Is it so powerful?" Li Yunhai was surprised.
He knows that the fastest person in Chinese can type 316 Chinese characters per minute. With an average of 10 keystrokes per second, the hand speed is blurry.
With the Wubi input method, input more than 120 Chinese characters per minute, which is a good result. If you can reach more than 200 words per minute, the hand speed is amazing.
Su Hong said: "Really, I guess that person will definitely win the first prize." ”
Li Yunhai said: "There are many talented people in this world, go and eat!" ”
Su Hong answered and left.
Gong Jie stood beside Li Yunhai and watched more than 100 people typing together at the scene.
Only the sound of a crackling typewriter could be heard.
Typewriters use mechanical keyboards that make a crisp hitting sound.
The knockout round ended at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, with more than 20,000 people, and all the competitions were completed in one day.
In this round of auditions, the fastest speed is 260 words per minute.
Those who can enter the top 50 have reached more than 150 words per minute.
The finals start tomorrow at 10 a.m.
50 players in each group compete at the same time, and the duration of the game is 10 minutes.
Whoever types the most words and makes the fewest mistakes within 10 minutes wins.
After the audition, Li Yunhai invited all the judges to dinner.
Li Yunhai stayed at the International Hotel and stayed in room 605.
After dinner, Li Yunhai and Gong Jie came to the room to talk about work.
Gong Jie reported to Li Yunhai on the expenses of the typing competition.
She put forward her opinion: "Mr. Li, the purpose of our competition is to distinguish who is the best typewriter on the market. However, such a comparison does not seem to achieve the goal. ”
Li Yunhai nodded calmly: "Yes, so we have another evaluation event in the future." ”
"How do you evaluate it?"
After the three teams decided the winners, the winners of each group will be a total of 16 people, and these people will use the Sihai typewriter and the Lianxiang typewriter to type for ten minutes to see which typewriter is faster. This review will be published in various computer and science-related journals in China. ”
"Oh, it's better that way! More persuasive. ”
"Yes."
"Mr. Li, do you have any arrangements for the evening?"
"Not scheduled."
"Let's go outside, right? There are many places to visit around here. You have come to Shanghai, this is my home field, I want to do my best to be a landlord, right? ”
"Haha! It's good. ”
The two went downstairs and went shopping on nearby Nanjing Road.
Nanjing Road is one of the most prosperous main roads in Shanghai, and people who come to Shanghai will come here to take a stroll.
The two walked for a while and came to the front of the Great Light Cinema.
Gong Jie stopped and looked at the various posters posted on the walls of the movie theater.
Founded in 1928, this cinema was once the largest screening venue in the Far East for the eight major film companies in the United States, and it was also the highest-grossing cinema in China. In 1939, it took the lead in introducing the "Yiyi Style" simultaneous translation headset equipment. At that time, a small square box was installed behind each seat, which had wires connected to the pronunciation machine. For an extra dime, the audience can rent headphones to connect to the small square box and hear the pure simultaneous translation of the "Yifeng Style" ladies.
Li Yunhai looked at the screening schedule and asked with a smile, "Watch a movie?" The upcoming screening is "Two Souls of Clear Water", take a look? ”
Gong Jie smiled and nodded.
Li Yunhai knew in his heart that Gong Jie still couldn't let go of her most beloved acting career.
He bought two tickets and walked into the theater with Gong Jie.
It is a large screening hall with two floors and a capacity of 2,000 people.
Li Yunhai and Gong Jie found a place to sit down.
The film has not yet been screened, and there are many people on the scene, and it is very noisy.
Gong Jie is so popular with the audience, as soon as she walked in, someone immediately recognized her.
"Isn't that Gong Jie? It's really her! Look, Gong Jie has come to see the movie! ”
"Where? Where is it? ”
"Gong Jie? It's really Gong Jie! ”
More and more people recognized her and pointed at her.
Li Yunhai and Gong Jie walked to the back row and sat down.
The audience knew that Gong Jie was coming, so they stood up and looked around.
Someone shouted: "Didn't Gong Jie go abroad?" Haven't you all heard about her? She couldn't get along at home, so she went abroad! ”
Some people also said: "Don't talk nonsense, Gong Jie is a good actor, and our whole family loves to watch her plays!" She didn't commit a crime, so why did she run? ”
"Looks like you really don't understand, huh? I advise you to understand before you speak! Gong Jie has an improper relationship with others, and it has long been blocked! ”
"You talk nonsense! You are not allowed to slander Gong Jie! ”
"If it's a rumor, why did she go abroad? Why haven't I seen her acting lately? ”
Gong Jie listened to other people's discussions, and couldn't help lowering her head, she got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Yunhai.
"Do you want to run again? The more you run, the deeper the world's misunderstanding of you will be. ”
"I can't stand their talk!" Gong Jie covered her face with her hands because many people were looking at her.
Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "You are a public figure, the more people who know you, the more popular you are." You've only heard someone slander you? Don't you see someone defending you? ”
Gong Jie was stunned for a moment, and hummed: "I heard it." ”
Li Yunhai said: "This shows that you are very popular in China." Everyone knows that you have been wronged, and only a few people still misunderstand you. The silence effect is: if you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence! ”
Gong Jie's mood slowly calmed down.
Li Yunhai stood up and said loudly: "Comrades, Gong Jie didn't run, she has always been in China. She hasn't made a movie during this time because she is preparing a new TV series, as for what TV series it is, you will naturally see it then! There were rumors to slander Gong Jie before, but the verdict of the case has been announced, and the main culprit was shot! Accomplices were also imprisoned. If Gong Jie really has something, will she still be here? ”
His voice was clear and loud, and everyone in the audience could hear it.
Gong Jie was taken aback!
She didn't expect Li Yunhai to say these things in front of the audience!
For a moment, she was at a loss and didn't know how to face it.
