The penultimate day of the Canton Fair.

There are fewer foreign businessmen visiting the exhibition than before.

Li Yunhai no longer has much hope for getting more orders.

He found Guo Wanhua and discussed the matter of opening stores in major cities across the country.

Opening such a shop requires the use of large construction machines and printing equipment from Paige Corporation.

The main business of Patrick Company is to do printing, and engineering machines are just a few of the products.

Engineering printers are mainly used in some large industrial and mining enterprises and design institutes, which need to use engineering printers to print large-format design drawings; In addition, the construction unit of the real estate company is used for photocopying blueprints.

If you want to do advertising printing, you need more professional equipment.

One of the most important devices is called a UV printer.

The history of UV printers can be traced back to the 70s of the 20th century, when people began to use ultraviolet (UV) curing technology in the printing industry. It is a high-tech, plate-free, full-color digital press that is not limited by materials. Initially, this technology was mainly used to print materials such as flexible packaging materials and plastic films.

In the 80s and 90s, only high-end advertising and signage production would use this kind of printing.

UV printers were really popularized in the civilian field around 2000.

Someone in China has developed a flatbed printing machine, a universal flatbed printer, with a price of between 80,000 and 120,000 yuan, so that ordinary printing shops can afford it.

Of course, Li Yunhai knows about flatbed printers.

But with the current technology, I don't know if it can be developed?

Flatbed printers, still using the principle of UV printing, just put the whole set of printing equipment, concentrated on a not too big machine.

It can be said that this is a more powerful and comprehensive engineering printer.

There are also two most important machines in the printing industry, one is the inkjet printer and the other is the photo machine.

However, the inkjet printer of this era is a sky-high equipment!

At the beginning, tens of millions of foreign imports were required, and even if it dropped to several million, ordinary people could only sigh.

These machines have not yet been developed and produced in China.

Li Yunhai wants to gain a firm foothold in the printing industry, and he can't get around these equipment.

But you have to eat one bite at a time, and you can't become fat by eating one bite.

The research and development of machines should also be carried out one by one.

Li Yunhai's most important current R&D projects are color inkjet printers and large-format printers.

In today's society, the demand for spray painting and photo is not high, and it can also be replaced by other ways.

For example, printing, or hand-made, can also achieve the goal.

Of course, Guo Wanhua is willing to cooperate with Li Yunhai to provide relevant machines.

Li Yunhai said: "Sister Guo, have you considered moving the Paige factory to the mainland? The cost can be reduced by at least half. ”

Of course, Guo Wanhua had already considered this, and said with a smile: "Paige Company is about to sell to you, and you can do whatever you want at that time." I'm a woman, and it's really hard to manage such a large construction machinery company. You are a big man, and you have learned this, you must be better than me in management. ”

Li Yunhai asked her, have you discussed it with Chen Meilin?

Guo Wanhua said that she had already contacted her daughter, and Meilin said that it didn't matter, anyway, she was not interested in these cold machines.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, then he would buy Paige Company!

He just wanted to make engineering printing machines, and after the acquisition of the Paige company, he could take advantage of the situation to develop large-scale typewriters.

Li Yunhai decided to open a large graphic advertising shop in each of the most important cities in China, especially in Meishan, where there are many typing and copying shops.

The positioning of this store is different from that of ordinary typing and copying shops, and it will have the ability to print large-scale drawings and produce various printed products.

In order to facilitate management, Li Yunhai will set up a branch under the Sihai Group, called Sihai Graphic Advertising Company, to manage graphic advertising stores across the country.

This company can help typing and copying shops across the country to undertake engineering drawings, printing, advertising, and signage production that they are not currently capable of producing.

There is only one store in each city, and all the small shops can come to the big stores to make after undertaking the business.

The business of such a graphic advertising store is also very large.

After Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua finished discussing, they began to draw up a plan to set up a branch.

He returned to his booth and typed out the details that came to mind on his typewriter.

Two foreign businessmen walked in, and the staff stepped forward to greet them.

"Hello, what kind of machine are you using?" A tall foreign businessman pointed to the typewriter in Li Yunhai's hand and asked.

"It's called a typewriter from the four seas." Li Yunhai said, "This is an all-round typewriter. ”

"Can I also type in English?"

"Yes, input in several languages."

"Where did you buy it?"

"It's produced by our company."

"Oh! Show me one. ”

Li Yunhai asked people to move one next door, plug it in, adjust it to English input mode, and ask foreign businessmen to try it.

The foreign businessman is very fast in typing, and it can be seen that this is a person who types a lot.

"How much does a machine like this cost?" The foreign businessman asked.

Li Yunhai first asked him whether he was wholesale or just buying one?

Foreign businessmen: "Of course it's wholesale, isn't it all wholesale at the Canton Fair?" ”

Li Yunhai said that our wholesale price is $3,500 per unit.

When the foreign businessman heard this offer, he groaned slightly.

Li Yunhai asked him which country he was from?

Sihai computer typewriters, now sold in not many countries and regions, many people have not seen it, and it is not surprising.

The foreign businessman said that he was from the United Kingdom and had been to the Canton Fair before, why didn't he see such a good typewriter?

Li Yunhai said that we also came to the Canton Fair last autumn, maybe you missed it and didn't notice it.

The foreign businessman nodded and asked him: "How much do I have to purchase such a machine to be considered a wholesale price?" ”

Li Yunhai said that at least more than 1,000 units should be taken.

The foreign businessman said OK, then I will take 1000 units first.

Li Yunhai asked him what his name was? Which industry?

The foreign businessman said a list of names and said you can just call me Andrew.

Andrew runs a chain of shopping malls and is a part-time writer himself.

After using the typewriter from all over the world, he felt that this typewriter was simply perfect, although the price was a bit expensive, but it was fully functional and had the function of a computer, which was much cheaper than buying a computer and a printer.

Most importantly, this typewriter has an irreplaceable role.

People type on a computer and are easily distracted. Typing with a typewriter allows you to focus more on typing.

Li Yunhai said that you really deserve to be a professional typing and understand it very thoroughly.

Andrew liked this typewriter very much, so he took a thousand of them back and sold them in his chain store, which he sold as an electrical appliance.

Of course, this is also possible.

Andrew's idea gave Li Yunhai new inspiration.

Why don't you treat the typewriter as an electrical appliance and sell it in major shopping malls?

After all, there are not many people who visit office equipment and supplies stores, but there are more people who visit shopping malls!

Put the product in the electrical counter, so that more people can see the product.

Li Yunhai thought that the people who need to use this typewriter may not go to the mall, but they will definitely visit the bookstore.

Therefore, various book cities and Xinhua bookstores in China should also distribute goods.

Xinhua Bookstore has not yet opened a commercial counter, but everything can be discussed and cooperated!

Merchants, everything can be discussed.

Andrew and Li Yunhai signed a contract and left.

Lin Zhi smiled beside him: "You are amazing! Guarding the printer booth, but helping me sell a thousand typewriters! ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "Haha! This means you have to work hard! ”

He called Zhao Jinping over and said his idea of opening typewriter counters in various places.

Lin Zhi smiled: "Sell typewriters to shopping malls? Do you want to sell it to Xinhua Bookstore? Will this work? ”

Li Yunhai said: "I think it's okay." Typewriter is a tool that many people can use, but ordinary people don't have access to our products. Don't think that everyone can see that we advertise so much. Many writers may not watch TV, especially commercials. And they are the largest potential consumer group of typewriters. ”

Zhao Jinping slapped his thigh and said, "It makes sense!" Mr. Li, you are a trick! Then we contact various shopping malls and Xinhua Bookstore. ”

Lin Zhi smiled: "I also think this matter is reliable." We cast a wide net, and there is always someone willing to work with us. It's naturally better to let us in, but if we can't let us in, we will continue to negotiate with another company. ”

Zhao Jinping said: "I don't think it's difficult, this thing will definitely be successful." It's just that if every shopping mall and Xinhua bookstore have to open a counter, won't it recruit a lot of people? Is it better to sell it directly at the counter? ”

Li Yunhai thought about it seriously and said, "Let's recruit people!" If the teller doesn't recommend it seriously and doesn't know how to introduce the product, no one will buy it. We recruit and train ourselves, which is definitely more effective. The Canton Fair will end tomorrow, Mr. Zhao, after returning to Xizhou, you must first contact the local shopping malls and Xinhua Bookstore, and you must take them all! ”

Zhao Jinping said in high spirits: "Please rest assured Mr. Li, I will definitely be able to take down the shopping malls and Xinhua bookstores in our province!" ”

Li Yunhai waved his hand: "Okay, let's go to work!" In the last day and a half, see if you can take a few more orders. ”

It's the last day of the Canton Fair in a blink of an eye.

Li Yunhai's Sihai Group got an order of 320 million yuan.

No matter how hard you work on the last day, the goal of 500 million is probably difficult to achieve.

Liu Ruyi and others are working at the Canton Fair on their last day today.

After settling the account at noon, Li Yunhai expressed his gratitude to them, and said that in the autumn Canton Fair in the second half of the year, if you are all free, you are welcome to come and help me, and I can increase my salary a little more.

Liu Ruyi said that they are about to graduate, and they don't know where to be assigned yet! See you in the future!

By three o'clock in the afternoon, foreign businessmen were scarce.

Many of the booths have already started to pack up and are ready to go home.

Li Yunhai looked at the sparse pavilion and thought to himself that we could also leave.

With a turnover of 320 million, calculated with half of the net profit, you can earn 160 million!

It's a good record.

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan both came over and asked, "Is it okay to collect the stall?" The exhibitors of one of our delegations, they are all packing, and there are few foreign businessmen left. ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Don't accept it yet, even if we sit, we have to sit until the last moment." ”

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan smiled and returned to the booth.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Yuxia came over to inspect.

I saw that her face was blue and unhappy, pointing to the exhibitors who were ending, and reprimanded them loudly, saying, "Are you going to leave early?" The Canton Fair is not over yet! Do you think you're getting too many orders? Anxious to go home and hug your wife? If you have this attitude, you don't have to come back to the next one! “””

The exhibitors were all stunned! If their company's participation in the exhibition is cancelled, then they will not be able to eat and walk around.

They didn't dare to talk back, so they hurriedly untied the beaten bag again and put it on the table.

Li Yunhai smiled slightly, he expected that Tang Yuxia would come to inspect the work.

Because the results of this year's exhibition in Xijiang Province are not satisfactory and do not meet Tang Yuxia's expectations, she is angry! At this time, if anyone dares to leave early, it is tantamount to touching her moldy head.

Tang Yuxia glanced at the booth of Sihai Group and walked straight over there.

Li Yunhai's exhibition is in the middle, not in the front and not in the back.

But he really wants to compete for the front booth, preferably the kind of big booth at the crossroads, and put all his products together, which is very eye-catching!

Li Yunhai thought about the next Canton Fair to see if he could fight for the best booth.

Just thinking about it, a few foreign businessmen came talking and laughing, and walked straight into the typewriter booth in the middle.

Lin Zhi and Zhao Jinping were both over there, and they got up to receive them.

Li Yunhai didn't go over to help, and let them play.

Two more foreign businessmen walked into Li Yunhai's printer booth.

Li Yunhai didn't bother to get up and let the staff recommend him.

Sure enough, no miracle happened, and the two groups of foreign businessmen learned about it and left.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Spring Canton Fair in 1986 officially ended!

Li Yunhai's Sihai Group ended with a turnover of 320 million yuan.

Everyone packed together.

His booth was easy to clean up.

In the evening, Li Yunhai invited everyone to dinner, and then went home to rest.

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan will return to Xizhou with Tang Yuxia and them tomorrow.

Li Yunhai wants to go to the United States with Gong Jie.

Neither of them had expired visas, and they could go there after buying a ticket.

That night, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi were inseparable.

The two of them fell in love several times, and Li Yunhai fell asleep when he was so tired.

The next day, Lin Zhi and others left Huacheng and returned to Xizhou.

Li Yunhai and Gong Jie want to go to the United States, there are two routes, one is to fly to Shanghai, and then to the United States. The second is to fly to Xiangjiang and then transfer planes.

The two were familiar with Shanghai, so they decided to fly to Shanghai first.

The flight they took arrived in Shanghai in the afternoon of the same day, and they immediately went to buy tickets to the country of Feimi.

Who expected that there would be a flight tomorrow.

Li Yunhai and Gong Dough Cleaner looked at each other, and they could only buy tomorrow's tickets.

Gong Jie smiled and said, "Mr. Li, we can only stay in Shanghai for one night." Why don't you go to my house? ”

Li Yunhai knew that her family had a large population, and she might not have a bed for herself, so she said, "I'm sorry to bother, you go home, I'll find a hotel to stay for one night." ”

Gong Jie said: "Forget it, I won't go home either, let's stay in a hotel with you!" Lin Zhi told me, let me take care of your daily life. If I go home and live, who will take care of you? ”

"Do you really listen to her? I'm a big man, I can take care of myself and don't need to be taken care of. ”

"That won't do! Anyway, I've already told my family that I'm going to fly to the United States and don't have time to go home. ”

The two came to the city and stayed at the Peace Hotel.

The Peace Hotel is a landmark high-rise building on the historical landscape of the Bund in Shanghai, and it is also the city card of Shanghai.

Li Yunhai entered the room and rested for a while.

Linzhi and they are still in the car, and they will not be able to reach Xizhou until tomorrow.

When Linzhi arrived in Xizhou, Li Yunhai got on the plane again.

They would have to wait two more days before they could talk on the phone.

Summer is approaching and it gets dark late.

Li Yunhai and Gong Jie went to the restaurant for dinner and then went for a walk on the Bund.

The Bund is located on the banks of the Huangpu River in the HP District.

In the 80s, the Bund was already a characteristic tourist area of Shanghai and has become a symbol of Shanghai. There are 52 Gothic, Greek, and Baroque buildings here, and many rare buildings come together to form a temple of architectural art. There are cars and cars on the road, and people come and go on the walking path by the river.

Gong Jie wore a wide-brimmed straw hat, which not only shielded her from the wind, but also blocked her star face.

"Sell flowers! Sell flowers! Sir, buy a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend! Your girlfriend is so pretty, buy a bouquet! "A flower girl who specializes in selling flowers to young couples.

When she saw Li Yunhai and Gong Jie, she followed her, and kept stretching out the flowers in her hand in front of Li Yunhai: "Sir, buy a bouquet!" ”

Li Yunhai almost tripped over her feet, but she couldn't be pestered, so he asked, "How much does this cost?" ”

The flower girl shoved a bunch of hands into his hand and said, "5 yuan a bouquet, there are 9 flowers!" ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, the flowers I bought in Huacheng are only 1 cent and 5 cents each, the same peony flower, it is so expensive here!

He didn't bother to care, took out five yuan, bought a bouquet of flowers, and handed it to Gong Jie.

Gong Jie took it and said with a smile: "This is the first bouquet of flowers you gave me." ”

Li Yunhai put his hands behind his back, looked at the cruise ships and seagulls on the river, and said, "But it's definitely not the first bouquet of flowers you received." Is that right? ”

Gong Jieqiao's face flushed, and she said, "It depends on how you say this, is this the first bouquet of flowers you gave to a woman?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled stunned: "No." ”

Gong Jie smelled the fragrance of the flowers and said, "In that case, why do you care whose flowers I received before?" I have so many fans, and they give me flowers! ”

The two stood still by the Jiangti barrage, looking at the scenery of Pudong opposite.

As the sun sets, a remnant sun spreads on the river, and several freighters whistle as they sail by.

Li Yunhai propped his hand on the railing and said with a smile: "I don't mind!" ”

Gong Jie leaned on the railing and said with a smile: "You just mind, if you don't mind, you won't say it." ”

Li Yunhai turned his head to look at her and said, "Aren't you being amorous?" I have a fiancée, and I don't want to do anything with you. How many flowers you have received before, and what does it have to do with me? ”

Gong Jie's pretty face was eclipsed in an instant, she bit her lip lightly, and walked forward without saying a word, without calling Li Yunhai.

She's angry!

Li Yunhai didn't chase her, just stood in place, blowing the cool river breeze, watching the red sun and fiery sunset in the sky.

He is not in the habit of coaxing women.

What's more, Gong Jie is not his woman.

Not even a close friend.

The bouquet of flowers just now was just a coincidence, so I bought it and gave it to her.

After a while, Gong Jie turned around and came back again, stood beside him, and asked, "Hey, you haven't seen it, I'm not by your side?" ”

"See! I watched you leave. ”

"Then why don't you chase me?"

"You're not a little girl anymore, you know where you want to go."

"Then I went to the United States before, and who brought me back?"

"Uh- I just gave you a suggestion. The final decision is up to you. ”

"Well, sometimes, I think you're close, and sometimes I think you're far away."

"Not surprisingly, it's because your feelings have changed. For people after the age of 30, ten or eight years is just a matter of seams, while for young people, three or five years can be a lifetime. ”

"You're reminding me in disguise, am I old?"

"Yes, Sister Gong, you are not young anymore, you can no longer be like a little girl, I don't think anyone will coax you. Also, I am your boss, not your lover, and I have no obligation to coax you. ”

"It's really hurtful for you to talk."

"I've always been like this, but you're particularly sensitive today?"

"Is there one? I think you're particularly sensitive, aren't you? ”

"Sister Gong, you care too much about other people's opinions. Sometimes, we are tired of living, not because we are too mean, but because we are too easily infected by the atmosphere of the outside world and swayed by the emotions of others. In fact, you live for yourself, and not many people can keep you in their hearts. ”

Li Yunhai's words gave Gong Jie a spiritual impact.

She stood silently beside Li Yunhai, and the river wind blew her black and shiny hair, and the strands hit Li Yunshenghai's face.

"What does this flower represent?" She asked suddenly.

Li Yunhai was stunned and said, "What does it represent?" It doesn't mean anything. ”

"Forget it, you don't want to say it, and you don't want to face it. Then we'll all be dumb. ”

"Oh! It's windy, let's take a walk! ”

As soon as the two turned around, they saw that there were two people with cameras on their backs who had been staring at Gong Jie.

When they saw Gong Jie's back, they might have suspected that it was her, but they didn't dare to recognize it.

Seeing Gong Jie's front at this moment, the two of them immediately ran forward and raised the camera in their hands to take pictures at the same time.

"Gong Jie, hello! We are reporters from Xinmin Evening News, when did you return to Shanghai? We heard that you are filming in Flower City, is it true? ”

Another person chased after him and asked, "Are you in love?" ”

Gong Jie was stopped by them, and there was no way out, so she had to say: "I'm not in love!" ”

"Excuse me, who gave you this bundle of hands in your hand? Wasn't this a gift from your boyfriend? When will you officially announce your marriage? ”

Gong Jie said to Li Yunhai: "Let's go back and rest, right?" I suddenly didn't think it was fun at all. ”

Li Yunhai smiled slightly and accompanied her to go back.

The two reporters ran up again and asked, "May I ask who this gentleman is next to you?" Is it the person who sent the flowers to you? Is he your boyfriend? Are you in a secret relationship? ”

Gong Jie threw the flowers in her hand at the reporter and said, "Who said that sending flowers represents love?" It could also be charity! ”

The reporter hurriedly caught the flowers and looked left and right at a loss.

The third is to ask for a monthly pass.
