Li Yunhai stayed in the Nanjing Road store for two hours, and saw that there were many customers entering the door, and the most people asked about typewriters and computers, but he found a problem, that is, the shopping guide's introduction to Longteng PC was not comprehensive, and he did not say the characteristics of this computer.

He discussed with Gong Jie that it was necessary to train shopping guides to make them more familiar with the characteristics of the product.

Gong Jie said that you happen to be here, so please train you, right?

Li Yunhai said that tonight, I will ask them to work overtime, and I will give them training, and the training location is in the store, starting at 7 o'clock in the evening, and the training will last until 10 o'clock, three hours.

The store here is large, and there are usually many customers, with a total of four female shopping guides.

Gong Jie informed them to stay in the evening and work overtime for three hours of training.

Li Yunhai looked at the business hours and said, "The business hours of other branches have been extended to nine o'clock in the evening, do you also want to extend the working hours?" Many office workers only have time to go out shopping in the evening. Nowadays, we pay attention to the night economy, and although Shanghainese do not live overnight, it should be possible to work until 9 o'clock in the evening. ”

Gong Jie said: "We are Saturday and Sunday nights, and we will go up until half past nine in the evening on these two days, so let's change this work and rest schedule from now on!" ”

At half past eleven in the morning, Li Yunhai and Gong Jie went to the Yangtze River Hotel.

The branch also bought a Santana, which was a car for Gong Jie, and also bought two small trucks for delivery.

Gong Jie got a driver's license and drove very steadily.

Li Yunhai sat in her passenger seat.

After arriving at the Yangtze River Hotel, the two picked a quiet seat.

Because they didn't know how many people were coming from the other party, they picked a larger table and ordered the meal first.

At twelve o'clock, the other party did not come on time.

Gong Jie looked at the time and said, "I'm going to make a call and ask?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "They are already off work, unless you have his buckle?" ”

Gong Jie said no, the two could only wait.

After another twenty minutes, the waiter came over and asked if it was okay to serve.

Li Yunhai said it! Whether they come or not, we have to eat.

Gong Jie sighed: "You said that these people are true, obviously made an appointment at 12 o'clock, it's almost half past 12, and they haven't come yet!" ”

While the food was being served, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head walked over.

Gong Jie got up and said with a smile: "Leader Zhao Ji, hello!" Have a seat. ”

Zhao Ji looked at them and asked, "Comrade Gong Xue, who is this?" ”

Gong Jie said with a smile: "He is Li Yunhai, the boss of our Sihai Group. ”

Li Yunhai smiled slightly, got up and stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Hello Leader Zhao, I am Li Yunhai of Sihai Group, please advise." ”

Zhao Ji didn't shake hands with Li Yunhai, sat down directly, and said, "Comrade Gong Jie, I only came out to eat for the sake of your face, and don't bring irrelevant people!" ”

Li Yunhai's face froze, thinking that this person was very official.

He didn't care, withdrew his hand and sat down.

Gong Jie felt very embarrassed and said: "Leader Zhao, our President Li made a special trip from Xizhou to open up the SH market. You are our first customer of Mr. Li. ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "When it's time to eat, don't talk about business." ”

He didn't have a perfunctory explanation for why he was so late, as if he was used to it.

Eat Western food, drink red wine, and eat fast at a meal.

After the meal, Gong Jie mentioned the matter of procurement again.

She invited people out for dinner, just to talk about procurement, otherwise the meal would be in vain.

Zhao Ji took out two tissues, wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth, and said, "You have told me about this matter several times, and I tend to ask you for purchases." However, the city's request is to purchase the city's Donghai computer. Donghai computer you know, that is our domestic famous products, market share of 75%! It's not something that a niche brand like yours can match. ”

Li Yunhai couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Leader Zhao, Sihai Group's Longteng PC has already gone abroad, and even foreigners buy our computers, how come it has become a niche brand in your mouth?" Tokai Computer's previous market share was indeed very high, and that was caused by planned procurement, and the market share you mentioned, that is also in the past. When I say this, I don't mean to slander my peers, I admit that my peers are very good, but our computers are not aimed at domestic products, but big brands such as IBM and Compaq. ”

Zhao Ji glanced at him and said, "Of course you said so, Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself!" However, our purchasing unit still only recognizes the big brand of Donghai! Donghai was founded in 1966, what year were you founded? ”

Li Yunhai was stunned, if you want to talk about the number of years of establishment, it is indeed incomparable.

Gong Jie said: "Our company was founded in 1984, but we have grown very fast! ”

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "Look, you have only been established for three years, how can you compare with other old brands?" Tokai Computer produced a mainframe computer in 1974, and in 1984, Tokai PC had an annual output of 20,000 units! You're just getting started! ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, he looked down on this guy, he didn't seem to know how to learn, but he was actually a very knowledgeable person.

Since he is a knowledgeable person, he is easy to do.

Li Yunhai started with the three major parts of the computer: chips, memory, and motherboards.

Sihai Computer uses self-designed and produced chips, and the performance of the chips is as strong as that produced by Intel.

The Tokai computer uses an imitation Intel chip, the instruction system is the same, and it is composed of a large-scale integrated circuit with four N-channel silicon gate MOS processes, which is controlled by a microprogram.

The algorithms and functions of these two chips are completely different.

Zhao Ji sighed slightly, putting away the contempt for Li Yunhai just now. He saw Li Yunhai so young before, he definitely didn't know any computer technology, he was just a computer dealer.

When he heard Li Yunhai say the truth, he couldn't help but be impressed.

Li Yunhai also talked about the Nikon chip lithography machine and memory production line that Sihai Group has spent a lot of money to introduce, as well as the Longteng motherboard independently developed by Sihai Group.

The performance and speed of Longteng PC are 1.7 times that of IBM286 microcomputer, and as for several times that of Donghai PC, this does not need to be tested, at least more than 3 times.

Zhao Ji looked disappreciative and said, "So what? Tokai PC can also be used! We still support domestic brands! ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Longteng PC is also a domestic brand, and all accessories are produced and assembled in China. Our computers are the most cost-effective. ”

His remarks made Zhao Ji speechless.

In the end, Li Yunhai made the lowest quotation for his two high-end and low-end computers, the high-end Longteng PC, which was 20,000 yuan, and the low-end price was 13,000 yuan.

Such a price can be said to be extremely low.

If the other party is still unwilling to purchase, Li Yunhai feels that it is not a cost-effective thing, and this purchase order can also be discarded.

He has long understood that it is not that your product is good enough that others must buy your product.

In any industry, unless there is a monopoly, no company can dominate the world.

Not even IBM.

Zhao Jiwei groaned and said, "I know, I will think about it seriously." Comrade Gong Jie, thank you for inviting me to dinner, goodbye. ”

With that, he got up and left.

Gong Jie watched him walk away and said, "Mr. Li, he is a little rude, please don't mind." ”

Li Yunhai said: "It's okay, if I don't even have this bit of elegance, I won't do business." We do business with him, he is the buyer, and of course he can ignore our existence. ”

Gong Jie said: "Mr. Li, it seems that this order is still very hanging. ”

Li Yunhai sighed: "I know, because Shanghai has Donghai computers, no matter how good our computers are, it will be difficult to beat them." ”

In the afternoon, the two still came to the store.

A woman walked into the store to look at the computer, looked around, and found that it was too expensive, and asked, "Do you have a computer for about 1,000 yuan?" I bought it for my children's study. ”

The shopping guide shook his head with a smile and said, "Auntie, the cheapest computer is more than 10,000 yuan, and there is no computer with a thousand yuan in this world." ”

The woman said, "Even if you don't have so many functions!" As long as you can learn five strokes, learn watchmaking, and learn English, you can do it. Little kids don't need so many features either. ”

The shopping guide just shook his head and said no.

The woman left disappointed.

A few shopping guides giggled, saying how could there be such a cheap computer?

Li Yunhai suddenly had a big brain, why not produce a simple computer learning machine?

He has the impression that for a long time, computer learning machines were very popular.

The price of this kind of computer learning machine can be less than 1,000 yuan!

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately called Professor Ni to discuss the matter.

Professor Ni listened to his idea and asked, "A computer learning machine within 1,000 yuan?" How does this work? Not to mention anything else, a monitor will sell for hundreds of dollars, even if it is second-hand, it will cost 600 yuan! How to control the cost of the host at 400 yuan? That's impossible. ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "It is not equipped with a monitor, but it can be connected to a TV at home!" We only make a simple mainframe, and the mainframe and keyboard are one, just like a computer typewriter. However, the functions can be simplified, the hard disk does not need it, and only uses the most basic chip and the minimum memory. ”

"That's a great idea! Connect it to a TV and you can save money on a monitor. ”

Li Yunhai put forward his own idea: "Since it is for students, then we will solidify arithmetic operations, composition and performance, and typing exercises in the host, and only retain 1 external power interface, 1 group of tape recorder interface storage programs, 1 video interface, 2 gamepad interfaces, 1 game card slot, using the popular computer 101 keyboard layout, RAM 96K is enough, and the learning card is integrated in the motherboard." You can connect more abundant study cards, and we can also develop a variety of study cards for sale! ”

Professor Ni said: "This can be realized, using Basic to write programs, can realize Chinese typing function, can also be equipped with a mouse, printer, floppy drive interface, then the function is very rich." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Most parents do not have enough understanding and recognition of computers, thinking that computers are typing tools, and there is still such a public opinion in society: computers are updated too quickly, and the configuration is low, and they will be eliminated in two or three years." As a result, many parents are on the sidelines to buy a computer, and their desire to buy is not strong. Due to the high cost of computers, many schools do not have computer rooms, even if there are computer rooms, at most there are only one or two, the number of construction is insufficient, a semester to take several operation classes, a computer for several people. The market is in urgent need of a low-cost machine that can experience computer operation, and the demand of the market is our business! ”

Professor Ni smiled: "You are professional in business, and I think it is feasible." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Also, we must integrate game functions. Isn't it popular for Nintendo's consoles right now? We had better be compatible with their game cards, and that would be perfect. This is both a learning machine and a gaming machine. ”

Professor Ni said: "Only in this way can we attract children to cry and shout to buy!" ”

The two laughed into the microphone.

Li Yunhai asked: "If you want to implement these functions, how much can the cost be controlled?" ”

Professor Ni said, "That's cheap! Just a simple integrated motherboard, plus a plastic case, plus a keyboard. The ex-factory price can be controlled within 500 yuan. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Yes! Let's make this product in the next step, as well as the translation machine, and we must get it out as soon as possible. ”

Professor Ni said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you have too many ideas, we don't have enough manpower, we now have to do a few research projects, 386 computers must be studied, we have been doing the localization of photocopiers, the translation machine is easy, and it will be available soon." Now we have to do a learning machine, which requires a scientific research team. ”

Li Yunhai said: "If there are fewer people, then recruit people." I'll tell Lin Zhi about this and let her be in charge of recruiting. ”

Professor Ni said: "Okay, someone is easy to do." ”

Li Yunhai called Lin Zhi again and said that she should recruit another 50 scientific research talents with high-end academic qualifications.

Lin Zhi said that this is difficult, where are there so many masters and doctorates in China?

Li Yunhai said that it would recruit undergraduates, majoring in electronic computers.

Lin Zhi said then I'll give it a try.

Li Yunhai also knows that it is difficult to recruit high-end talents.

High-end talents are either in state-owned enterprises and government agencies, or they are starting their own businesses.

Li Yunhai asked Lin Zhi to find a large media to advertise for recruitment, and took advantage of the opportunity of Longteng PC to go abroad, maybe it could attract some people with lofty ideals to come and take refuge.

Lin Zhi smiled and said I know.

That night, Li Yunhai and Gong Jie stayed in the store to conduct internal training for shopping guides.

Li Yunhai asked the shopping guide to be familiar with all the equipment in the store, and to be able to tell the configuration, function and advantages of each equipment.

After three hours of intensive training, the quality of the shopping guide has improved a lot.

Li Yunhai said that everyone had worked hard and gave everyone an overtime allowance of 10 yuan.

The employees received the money and left happily.

The next day, Li Yunhai found Jiang Zhijun from the typewriter factory.

As soon as Jiang Zhijun saw him, he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li, I want to resign, but the above does not approve it." ”

Li Yunhai asked, "Why don't you approve it?" ”

Jiang Zhijun said: "Say that I am a talent, don't let me go." ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "This thing is easy to do, you just let your wife come over and make trouble." ”

Jiang Zhijun was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said: "This trick is a little bit of damage, but it is estimated that no one can withstand her noise!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "There is another trick, which is to leave directly." If you don't come to work, they'll fire you. But it's better to leave amicably, and we'll have to work with a typewriter factory in the future. ”

Jiang Zhijun said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will try to leave as soon as possible." ”

Li Yunhai asked, "How is your father-in-law?" ”

Jiang Zhijun said: "Thank you for the money, I have been admitted to the hospital, and I need to have an operation, and I may have to stay in the hospital for half a month." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Then you can wait for the arrangements to be made and report to Xizhou." ”

Jiang Zhijun was grateful.

Li Yunhai came to Shanghai to poach Jiang Zhijun, and now that his goal has been achieved, he is ready to leave.

Jiang Zhijun stopped him and asked, "Mr. Li, does the company still recruit people?" ”

Li Yunhai thought that he wanted to leave with him, so he said, "Of course you are recruiting!" If anyone in your factory is willing to come with you, you can bring it with you. As long as it is a technical secondary school degree or above, it is a talent. ”

Jiang Zhijun said: "That's the case, my brother's scientific research institute is too poor, I told him that I want to go to Sihai Group for development, and when he heard that the salary is so high, he also moved his mind." ”

Li Yunhai asked, "Where is Brother Ling?" What is your major? What are academic qualifications? ”

Jiang Zhijun said: "He works in the Municipal Computer Research Institute, and he usually takes over the scientific research projects of Donghai Company and gets a dead salary. He studied computer science and graduated with a bachelor's degree. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, you let him come, our Sihai Research Institute is just going to recruit people, and if someone from his unit is willing to follow, I want it!" The welfare of our research institute is not ordinarily good. A scientific research project, as long as the research is successful, the prize money is tens of thousands! ”

Jiang Zhijun said: "Okay, I'll talk to him after work, and if it can be done, I'll contact you again." ”

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this is really an unexpected joy!

He's looking for talent!

Li Yunhai left the typewriter factory and came to the branch.

Gong Jie saw him and said with a smile: "Director Wang Pei called me and asked you if the investment matter has been decided?" ”

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "I have to look at the script first, as well as the list of actors that have been determined." ”

Gong Jie said: "That's how I replied to Director Wang, he said to make an appointment to meet?" ”

Li Yunhai said that it will be made tonight, and I will leave Shanghai tomorrow.

A touch of melancholy flashed on Gong Jie's face: "You're leaving?" ”

Li Yunhai said that Xiangjiang Sihai Group is about to go public, and I want to go to Xiangjiang.

Gong Jie knew that this was a big deal, so she said, "Can I buy the company's shares?" ”

Li Yunhai said with a smile: "Of course you can, but it is listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and you have to go to Xiangjiang to buy stocks." ”

Gong Jie has been busy lately and can't leave, so she said, "Then you can buy some for me." ”

Li Yunhai asked, "Yes, how many shares do you want to buy?" ”

Gong Jie asked the issue price and said, "15 Hong Kong dollars a share?" Then I'll raise some more money and buy 3,000 shares! I'll give you the money when you come back. You're welcome to you. To be honest, I'm bullish on the company's stock. I hope it will rise to 100 yuan a share, then I will have 300,000! Hee-hee! I don't have to take out a loan to buy a house! ”

Li Yunhai laughed and said that I also hope to rise to 100 yuan!

Sihai Group plans to issue 200 million shares, and if each share rises to 100 yuan, it will have a market value of 20 billion!

Li Yunhai can wake up with a smile when he thinks about it!

Gong Jie called Wang Pei and made an appointment to meet in the evening.

At noon, Gong Jie invited Li Yunhai to dinner: "Don't go out to eat, I bought vegetables, you can eat at my place at noon, right?" I cook a few good dishes. ”

"Yes." Li Yunhai is not hypocritical.

Gong Jie's cooking skills, Li Yunhai learned when he was in Huacheng, it was quite good.

The two came to her rented room.

Gong Jie turned on the TV and asked Li Yunhai to sit for a while, and she went into the kitchen to get busy.

Li Yunhai picked up a magazine casually and read it.

This is a movie magazine, and the cover character happens to be Zhu Lin.

This is the third time that the "King of the Daughter Country" has appeared on the cover of the magazine, and it is also the last time, in this year, she won the 5th "Golden Eagle Award" Best Actress Award for starring in "Triumph at Midnight", the first TV Top Ten Actor Award of "TV Monthly" "Yongfang Cup", and the Best TV Drama Female Star Award of "Times Movie".

After this year, Zhu Lin left the screen for several years, and did not make a comeback until 1992 and participated in many TV series.

In the photo, her skin is delicate and smooth, like congealed fat, exuding a dignified and elegant temperament.

Li Yunhai looked at the photo, and the smile she looked back at in Journey to the West flashed in her mind, thinking that this is really a beauty, the older she gets, the more flavorful she is.

He opened the magazine and saw that there were relevant articles about Zhu Lin in it, and also said that she was about to cooperate with Shanghai Film Studio to make a movie.

Gong Jie came out to make tea for him to drink, and said with a smile: "If I ask you a word, you have to answer me honestly." ”

Li Yunhai said: "What? ”

Gong Jie smiled and asked, "Me or her, who is more beautiful?" ”

Li Yunhai knew that she was talking about Zhu Lin, so he said, "You are more beautiful." You are the first beauty on the mainland screen in the 80s, no one can compare. You're also more well-known than her. ”

This answer made Gong Jie very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Tonight, she will also come, and I will stand with her at that time, and you will compare it again, and you will know who is more beautiful." ”

Li Yunhai said: "Is Zhu Lin in Shanghai?" ”

"Yes, I listened to Director Wang."

"Then I'll have to prepare a pen and paper and ask her to sign it."

"Why don't you ever ask me for an autograph? My signature isn't worth anything? ”

"I'm your boss, and I have a lot of your signatures! Don't you have your signature on the report you gave me? ”

Gong Jie chuckled: "That's not counted!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Then can you send me a signed photo?" ”

Gong Jie said: "I asked you, you just want it, it's insincere, I don't want to give it." ”

With that, she twisted around and went into the kitchen.

Li Yunhai smiled, thinking that Sister Gong also has a childlike side.

Gong Jie carefully prepared a few good dishes and a bottle of foreign wine.

Li Yunhai said: "You won't drink at noon, right?" ”

Gong Jie said: "One bottle, we will drink it, and we will finish it in a few sips." ”

Li Yunhai said: "I'm afraid this wine is not serious. ”

Gong Jie picked up the wine bottle, looked at the label, and said, "The imported wine I specially bought, where is it not serious?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "If you don't get drunk with wine, everyone gets drunk, and if you don't have charming, people are obsessed with yourself!" I'm afraid that I will mess up my nature when I get drunk and do things that are not serious to you. ”

Only then did Gong Jie know that he was joking, and said with a smile: "Seriously, you give me the impression that you are serious, and even have an old-fashioned style that does not match his age!" I don't believe you can mess around drunk! ”

She poured two glasses of wine and said, "I salute you, thank you for taking care of me and allowing me to find the best job in my life!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Don't say that, if Director Wang Pei hears it, he will definitely scold me for tricking you into the business world, and make you lose the best beauty on the screen." ”

Gong Jie smiled coquettishly: "You haven't drunk yet?" Why are you drunk? ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, then raised their glasses to each other.
