"I knew that when you brought me out, you must have wanted to repeat the love in the grove to me."

Shen Xiulan didn't say yes or no, she smiled shallowly, supported her hand, and looked at the Rhine River outside at night. At this time, the sky began to drizzle, and the whole city was covered with moisture. At this time, the Rhine River was a little misty and mysterious because of this drizzle, just like her pretty and unpredictable face at the moment.

Shallow piano music echoed in the café, and a foreign couple kissed outside the glass window as if no one was around, and the rain wet their hair, and they swallowed the rain together.

It was the first time Shen Xiulan had seen this kind of affectionate kiss, and the kiss she had understood before was just touching her lips.

She retracted her gaze shyly and said: "I know why you have become bad, you have gone abroad too much and have been corrupted by capitalism, you look at these people outside, there is no shame." ”

Li Yunhai got up and sat down on her card seat, held her hand, and kissed her on the lips.

Shen Xiulan trembled slightly, and suddenly bit Li Yunhai's lip.

Li Yunhai sighed: "It hurts!" ”

Shen Xiulan burst out laughing, and when she saw that his lips were broken and bleeding a little, she panicked: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Does it hurt? ”

Li Yunhai couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Of course it hurts!" If you don't believe me, let me try it? ”

Shen Xiulan gently touched his wound with her fingertips, and said coquettishly: "Who made you so bold?" Even if it's Lin Zhi, she can't accept making out with you in this kind of public, right? ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "You are different, you are my lover, and lovers are used for romance." ”

Shen Xiulan said: "I don't want to be your lover, I just want to be your wife." ”

Li Yunhai said melancholy: "We were husband and wife in our previous lives, so we can only be lovers in this life." ”

Shen Xiulan slapped his arm: "Nonsense! People die like lights go out, where did they come from in their past lives? ”

Li Yunhai said: "There really is, I dreamed that we had a daughter together, and later divorced." Then, I didn't remarry, and you didn't remarry. Maybe we can only be lovers for a lifetime? ”

Shen Xiulan said: "If I marry you, I will definitely stay with you for life, how can I divorce you?" You can see that you are daydreaming! ”

She wouldn't believe what Li Yunhai said.

After the two finished their coffee, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, so they had to sit in the café and wait for the rain to stop.

Li Yunhai reached out and grabbed her waist.

Shen Xiulan did not refuse, but leaned over gently and lay in his arms.

In this foreign land, no one knows them.

It's an open and tolerant country, and no one cares where they're coming from or what they're doing.

The two snuggled up like this, enjoying a rare time of attachment.

The rain stopped, the night was late, and the two of them were left in the café.

Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan got up to leave and returned to the hotel.

The hallway was quiet and empty.

Li Yunhai took her hand and wanted her to come to his room.

Shen Xiulan said in a low voice: "Yunhai, don't be like this. I'm tired and I want to rest. ”

After speaking, she gently took Li Yunhai's hand away and said, "You can also sleep well, don't think about it." ”

Li Yunhai returned to the room and took a shower before calming down his restless mood.

The next day, Li Yunhai and others came to the exhibition hall and continued to open.

Hannover is known as the city of trade fairs, and there are many exhibitions of all kinds, and this electronic technology trade fair lasts for ten days.

This is the world's highest level of electronic products exhibition venue, but also for global buyers and consumers.

Every year, the number of visitors to the exhibition comes from dozens of countries, and the maximum number of people reaches millions.

This year, IBM, which was the first to enter the microcomputer market, was at its peak, and their executives were carried away by the long-term victory, and they were not willing to be divided by other manufacturers, so they actually came up with a stupid trick and decided to monopolize the entire market and launch a new "P/S" series of microcomputers.

This machine is completely based on its own operating system and self-made chips, and other users' software systems are not compatible, IBM is trying to dominate the microcomputer market through this monopoly strategy. This closed strategy was the worst mistake IBM made in the 80s of the 20th century, and it directly led to the entry of many companies that produced compatible machines.

IBM's strategy makes all Chinese character input systems, including the Sihai Hanka, incompatible.

In such a situation, Intel, which was already dying, immediately announced an open system platform to support global compatible machine manufacturers.

Li Yunhai has long seen the decline of IBM and carried out the production of microcomputers in the four seas.

In the current Sihai store, the most sold is the compatible machine produced by Sihai Group itself.

Enterprises and units around the world are looking for a high-quality and low-cost PC product.

Compaq pioneered a new computer that costs up to $6,499.

The products of other companies are similar, and the price of computers with the same configuration is more than $5,000.

The Longteng PC launched by Sihai Group has a faster computing speed, but the price is more than 1,000 US dollars cheaper.

Li Yunhai's price for this computer abroad is $3,999.

The $4,000 computer has won the love of many buyers.

At that time, the official exchange rate of the US dollar against the yuan was around 3.8.

But the dollar exchange rate on the black market has been stable around 8.5.

At an exchange rate of 8.5, Longteng PC is equivalent to 34,000 RMB.

And this computer is only sold for 28,000 yuan in China.

This pricing is quite reasonable.

For foreigners, a $4,000 computer is a bargain.

After the foreign businessmen walked around, many people returned to the booth of Sihai Group to place orders.

Because it is the first time I contact Chinese PC companies, I don't know what the quality is, and they won't place too many orders, usually 100 or 200 units.

As long as it is an order, more than 100 units, Li Yunhai will accept it.

If Sihai Group wants to go global, it must first open up the situation and let foreign dealers realize the benefits of Longteng PCs, so that they will purchase more computers.

In 1987, less than 100,000 computers were sold in China.

And IBM is a company with an annual turnover of up to 28 billion US dollars!

How big is the global PC market?

Such a big cake is worth fighting for by Li Yunhai.

The English name of Longteng uses the first letter of Pinyin: LT.

The first generation of computers was called LT286PC.

In addition to computers, typewriters from Sihai Group are also very popular.

This kind of exhibition is different from the Canton Fair, where Xiangjiang Huayan Company invites friendly buyers from all over the world to come, and here comes all kinds of people.

In other words, Li Yunhai put his own products in front of global buyers.

The third-generation Sihai typewriter, priced at $3,500, is equivalent to a foldable laptop with a printing function, which is favored by many foreign businessmen.

And the $450 inkjet printer is also loved by foreign businessmen.

The next day, Li Yunhai and the others won a lot of orders.

In the evening, Li Yunhai held a short meeting with everyone, mainly to discuss solutions to some problems at the exhibition.

Many foreign businessmen are willing to purchase, but they are worried about quality.

In this regard, Li Yunhai proposed that in order to let foreigners rest assured of procurement, we can provide more optimized after-sales service.

Professor Ni asked, "How to optimize?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Three months for replacement!" The whole machine will be repaired for one year. ”

Everyone was taken aback.

Three-month replacement?

This is an international order!

The shipping fee alone is enough to drink a pot!

Li Yunhai said: "If there is indeed a quality problem, we will replace it in three months!" In this way, it can solve the worries of foreign procurement. To be honest, it's the first time we've all been dealing with each other, and it's normal to distrust each other. If we were sourcing someone else's product, we would have the same concerns. ”

Shen Xiulan and Ji Wenshu had no objections.

Li Yunhai said: "The purpose of our exhibition is to get more orders. If we want to open up global sales, we have to make more changes. ”

Professor Ni is a person who does scientific research, and he is not good at the way of management, and said: "You are the boss, you can take the idea!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "There is another thing, our global headquarters is located in Xiangjiang, and our products can be labeled as products of Xiangjiang Company. Our factories are all in the mainland, which is equivalent to a processing plant. ”

At that time, Xiangjiang was indeed more convenient than the mainland to connect with various countries around the world.

For foreign businessmen, a Hong Kong company has a greater sense of trust than a mainland company.

Everyone has unified the caliber, and when they promote their own products to foreign investors in the future, they will say that they are the products of Xiangjiang Sihai Group.

After switching strategies, foreign investors really have more trust.

From the third day onwards, the number of orders increased significantly.

After the 10-day exhibition, Sihai Group's Longteng Computer sold a total of 5,000 units, totaling 20 million US dollars.

Four seas typewriters sold 4,000 units for a total of $14 million.

8,000 inkjet printers were sold, totaling $3.6 million.

There are also many buyers who only order Longteng motherboards.

At this exhibition, Sihai Group received a total of almost 40 million US dollars in orders.

CCA has no sales, after all, this is an electronic technology exhibition, and CCA belongs to the category of consumables.

With an order income of 40 million US dollars, Li Yunhai is very satisfied.

These orders belong to hundreds of different buyers from more than 20 countries and regions around the world.

As long as the first business is done well, Li Yunhai believes that there will be follow-up orders.

On the last day of the exhibition, Li Yunhai disposed of the samples used in the exhibition cheaply, saving them from taking them home.

After successfully completing the task of exhibiting, Li Yunhai invited everyone to a local restaurant to have a good meal and drink, and the beer was enough.

After eating and drinking, Li Yunhai said to everyone: "Give you three days off, and each person will be given 10,000 US dollars for travel expenses, wherever you go to play, you can spend whatever you want." ”

The people who followed him to Hannover were the best of the company, and giving them bonuses and holidays was also an encouragement.

Naturally, everyone applauded.

Professor Ni snorted: "Mr. Li, you should have given me 10,000 US dollars earlier, I saw several advanced products at the electronics exhibition, and I originally planned to buy them back for research, but I didn't buy them because I didn't have money." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Professor Ni, why didn't you say it earlier? In the future, you can buy products like this for scientific research, and you can be reimbursed directly, without you having to pay out of pocket. ”

When Professor Ni was in a research institute before, no matter what electronic products he wanted to buy for research, he paid out of his own pocket, and basically all the money he earned was invested in scientific research.

Li Yunhai flattered him by giving him greater financial autonomy.

"Mr. Li is really a good leader!" Professor Ni said with a sigh, "Follow Mr. Li to do things, why should we worry about big things?" Next, we will also study the motherboard of the 386 computer, and strive to be available in the first half of next year! ”

Ji Wenshu said that he wanted to travel to Berlin, and asked Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan where to go?

Shen Xiulan said that there was no particular place she wanted to go.

Li Yunhai said then you can follow me, let's go around, and he told everyone that no matter where you travel, you must pay attention to safety.

The next day, everyone dispersed and traveled to their destinations.

Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan went to Hannover for a tour first.

They arrived at the Royal Court Garden, with its beautiful fountains and flower beds for strolling and relaxing, as well as the tallest fountain in Germany.

In the afternoon, they visited Hannover's town hall, with its imposing bell tower and beautiful town square. Climb the bell tower for a great view of the entire city.

They visited the Rossmann supermarket and brought German gifts for their family.

The next day, the two also visited Berlin and visited the local museum.

When passing by a commercial plaza, Shen Xiulan was attracted by some colorful dolls.

"Yunhai, look, what are these? What a cute doll. ”

"It's called The Nutcracker."

"The Nutcracker?"

The Nutcracker is a traditional German handicraft that is actually made from fairy tale characters into puppeteers. Flip the handle on the villain's back to use its mouth to crush walnuts.

The so-called walnut is a walnut.

Shen Xiulan picked up a puppet and said with a smile: "How can this be played?" ”

Li Yunhai pointed to the back of the puppet and said, "There is a handle here, you can try it if you pull it." ”

Shen Xiulan tried to play with it and said with a smile: "It's so fun." I'm going to buy a few to take home. ”

Li Yunhai said then buy it!

Shen Xiulan picked and chosen, picked seven or eight, and she thought they were all very beautiful.

Li Yunhai bought them all.

Shen Xiulan giggled, played with a puppet, and said, "Yunhai, look at this puppet's mouth, it's so cute!" Where do you sell walnuts? I'm going to give it a try! ”

They bought a bag of walnuts and sat on a bench on the side of the street.

Shen Xiulan seemed to have found the funniest toy in the world, stuffed a walnut into the puppet's mouth, and pulled the handle behind the toy.

Click!

The walnuts crumbled.

"Wow! It really can! Shen Xiulan took out the walnuts, peeled out the meat inside, and handed it to Li Yunhai to eat, "You eat!" ”

Li Yunhai ate it with her hand.

Looking at her innocent smile, Li Yunhai couldn't help but think of his previous life.

They used to live together, and Shen Xiulan also sandwiched walnuts for him to eat, and fed them by hand like this.

"Xiulan!" Li Yunhai called out to her.

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "Huh? I'll give you another clip to eat, it's fun! ”

She enjoyed the process of sandwiching walnuts very much, and then stuffed all the walnuts into Li Yunhai's mouth.

At this time, Shen Xiulan's innocent side was fully revealed.

"Xiulan!" Li Yunhai stretched out his hand to caress Shen Xiulan's hair and said, "You can eat it yourself, I've eaten enough." ”

Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "In the future, I can peel it for you to eat every day!" ”

Her face suddenly darkened, she put away the nutcracker, and said, "She should peel it for you to eat!" Eight clips, four for you and four for me. ”

With that, she got up and walked forward.

Li Yunhai silently followed.

Shen Xiulan was attracted by a bell seller, pointed to a small wooden box and asked, "What kind of clock is this?" I just saw a bird jumping out. ”

Li Yunhai said: "This is called the cuckoo clock, also called the cooing clock." At half and on the hour, the small wooden door above the clock opens automatically, and a cuckoo that chimes the time appears, making a pleasant cooing. ”

"Really? That's a lot of fun! Buy two and go home, right? One for each person! By the way, buy one for my mom too. ”

"Good!"

They walked all the way, tried something delicious when they saw it, and bought it when they saw something fun.

Shen Xiulan saw a shop selling shime dolls, took Li Yunhai's hand and walked in, wowed, and said, "Yunhai, look at these dolls, they are so beautiful!" ”

She picked up one and looked at the other, loving each one.

"Yunhai, didn't you dream of our daughter? What does she look like? Is there her in these dolls? Shen Xiulan asked with a smile.

Li Yunhai took a closer look at these dolls, pointed to one of them, and said, "This." ”

Shen Xiulan sighed: "Why are you so fat?" Neither of us is fat, but the daughter we gave birth to is so fat? ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "She was very delicious when she was a child, and you are used to her, so she is a little chubby, but very cute, and when she grows up, she will become as slender and beautiful as you." ”

Shen Xiulan listened to what he said, and looked at him with a very strange look: "Really? ”

Li Yunhai nodded.

The Himme Doll is a porcelain doll made of special clay for rural children, creating a warm and simple texture that easily captures the softest part of people's hearts.

Shen Xiulan chose more than a dozen Ximu dolls and went to the cashier to pay.

The cashier calculated the price and said, "35,000 marks." ”

In February 1987, the United States once again called the younger brothers together, and after the Plaza Agreement, there was a Paris Agreement. This is yet another conference in which developed countries have joined forces to manipulate exchange rates.

At the meeting, the United States set a central exchange rate price. 1 dollar is 153 yen, and 1 dollar is 1.8 marks.

35,000 marks, which is equivalent to about 20,000 dollars!

Shen Xiulan has been in Germany for more than ten days, and of course she has learned the calculation of these exchange rates, and she was immediately startled: "Why is it so expensive?" We buy so many nutcrackers, and it's not that expensive. These little dolls are too expensive, right? ”

Li Yunhai and the cashier chatted in English.

The cashier said that the production of these Sim dolls is very time-consuming, and it takes 3 years for each Sim porcelain puppet to change from a flat draft to a three-dimensional porcelain puppet. The more than 100 processes of the doll are all handmade, and the output is very small. Each porcelain figurine is hand-painted, and sometimes it can take an entire day to complete the coloring of a Shimu porcelain figurines. And coloring is where the vitality of the whole doll lies, so it is particularly valuable. The most expensive masterworks sell for tens of thousands of marks each.

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Xiulan, buy it if you like, this is called a work of art, not an ordinary clay doll." ”

Shen Xiulan shook her head: "$20,000!" It's too expensive! You can buy a lot of houses in China. ”

No matter how much she likes it, she won't spend so much money to buy a bunch of little dolls.

Shen Xiulan put the dolls back on the original cabinet, and said reluctantly: "Forget it, don't buy it!" Let's go! ”

Seeing that Li Yunhai was still watching, she took his hand and walked out: "Don't look at it!" Such a small doll, not as big as my palm, has to sell a house for money! ”

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "You can't say that! In addition to the house, we also have to have a spiritual pursuit, right? What about a bag that sells for tens of thousands of dollars, and a piece of clothing that sells for thousands of dollars? ”

Shen Xiulan said: "I won't buy it either!" ”

They walked into a leather goods store called BREE.

These leather goods are exquisite.

Shen Xiulan learned to be obedient, first asked the price, and then decided whether to buy it or not.

This is an old leather goods brand in Germany, and the price of each bag, the cheapest is two or three thousand yuan, which is not a luxury, but it is not cheap.

Shen Xiulan fancy a bag that costs more than 5,000 marks, which is equivalent to 3,000 US dollars.

As soon as she asked the price, she put down the bag in her hand and pulled Li Yunhai away without saying a word.

"I found out that I was very poor! Can't afford anything in Germany! Shen Xiulan smiled helplessly, "These high-end stores, let's not go shopping!" I'm so hungry, can I find a place to eat? ”

Of course, Li Yunhai followed her and found a restaurant nearby to eat.

This is the most prosperous neighborhood in Berlin, and the price of meals is also very expensive, but this is just needed, so Shen Xiulan doesn't say anything.

After dinner, the two came to a hotel for accommodation.

Li Yunhai asked Shen Xiulan, "Why don't we just open one room?" It is possible to save money for a room. With the money we saved, we can buy our daughter, I mean the shim. ”

Shen Xiulan blushed and said, "This money can't be saved, I have money, and I will pay for my own room." ”

Li Yunhai reluctantly opened two rooms.

After staying here, Shen Xiulan took a shower and found a hair dryer to dry her hair.

She bought a German-English dictionary and took it out to study.

This habit of learning wherever she goes has greatly improved Shen Xiulan's spoken foreign language.

She was reading a book when she heard a knock on the door.

Shen Xiulan was still quite alert, although she knew that it was likely Li Yunhai knocking on the door, she still asked, "Who?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled outside: "It's me!" Xiulan, open the door. ”

Shen Xiulan opened the door and said with a smile: "You still don't rest?" Still want to ask me out for shopping? ”

Li Yunhai handed her the two bags and said, "I'll give you a little gift." ”

"Gifts? What do you give me if it's not a New Year's Day? Shen Xiulan took the bag and invited Li Yunhai in.

Li Yunguan came to the door, picked up her dictionary and looked at it.

Shen Xiulan opened the bag and said twice!

It turned out that Li Yunhai bought all the Ximu dolls she had just taken a fancy to but were reluctant to buy, as well as the BREE bag!

Shen Xiulan turned to look at Li Yunhai and said, "23,000 dollars!" You're so willing! ”

Li Yunhai smiled gently: "It's hard to buy a beauty with a smile!" If you laugh at one and I'll take a look, it's worth the money. ”

Shen Xiulan smiled, walked up to him, looked at him fixedly, and said, "Yunhai, can you still check out now?" ”

Li Yunhai was stunned: "Huh? Why check out? ”

Shen Xiulan smiled shyly: "Because I don't want to waste a room." (End of chapter)
