Chapter 352: If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do
After the dealer's fancy operation, he presses the dice clock down on the table.
The tourists who placed the bets all craned their necks to watch the dealer open the size.
Some people shouted: "Big, big, big!" ”
Another part shouted, "Small, small, small!" ”
Finally opened a small!
Shen Xiulan won again!
And Chen Hong lost it all again, she was very unwilling, turned her head to look at Li Yunhai, and obviously wanted to borrow money to turn over.
Li Yunhai knows that this woman has a strong gambler mentality and a strong sense of ambition. If he remembers correctly, Chen Hong in later generations, in order to win the favor of a certain director, was to be a junior, and he used the method of pregnancy and forced marriage.
In order to get a man, she can bet on such a big thing as pregnancy! It can be seen that she does dare to bet.
Li Yunhai didn't say much, took out $10,000 and handed it to her: "This time you are a model, you already have a reward of $10,000, I'll give it to you now!" You can play however you want. ”
Ten thousand dollars, even in the United States, is equivalent to a few months' wages of an ordinary worker, and in China, this money is even more valuable.
But Chen Hong did not hesitate to exchange all of them for chips.
This is a casino, and the gambling is her own money, and no one cares about her.
After Shen Xiulan won a few handfuls of sizes, she changed tables to play.
Li Yunhai has always been by her side.
Shen Xiulan said: "What are you doing with me?" Look at that little beauty! ”
"You're a beauty that's more worthy of my attention."
"Humph! Don't think I don't know your little moves! ”
"Heaven and earth conscience, how can I have any small actions with her? I gave her all the wages she deserved. ”
"I guess she'll lose."
"It's none of my business if I lose."
Shen Xiulan glanced at her with a smile, continued to bet, and asked, "Aren't you playing?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "I'm very happy watching you play." ”
Shen Xiulan lost this time, but fortunately she only bet half of the chips.
They came to a table, where they played at 21 o'clock.
This kind of play is very popular in casinos, and the rules are simple.
The game is played by 2 to 6 players, and the player's goal is to make the sum of the cards in their hand not exceed 21 points and be as high as possible.
To play this game, you not only need luck, but also know how to count cards.
But the conditions of this card counting method are also very harsh, the card counter must be very sensitive to numbers, and need a strong memory, so generally proficient in card counting are mathematical geniuses.
Li Yunhai unexpectedly saw an acquaintance at the gambling table.
Silk!
Her full head of blonde hair is particularly striking.
Li Yunhai thought to himself, but he didn't expect that she also liked to gamble.
Silk is obviously not in good shape, and there are not many chips left in front of her.
The chips range from large to small, with the smallest being 25 cents and the largest being hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Shen Xiulan asked in a low voice, "How to play this?" ”
Li Yunhai told her the rules.
Shen Xiulan said: "Let me play? ”
Li Yunhai snorted: "You play!" ”
At this time, someone got up to leave, and Shen Xiulan sat down.
Shen Xiulan bet all the remaining chips.
As soon as she got down, Shen Xiulan lost.
She turned her head and looked at Li Yunhai aggrievedly.
Li Yunhai smiled: "Forget it, let's go!" ”
Shen Xiulan said: "Alas, I will never gamble again in the future!" ”
Li Yunhai said: "What do you call gambling?" It's just for fun. ”
They found Professor Ni and Gong Jie and others.
"Where's Chen Hong?" Li Yunhai counted the number of people and found that everyone was there, but there was only one person missing.
Gong Jie pointed to a gambling hall and said, "I saw that she seemed to have entered a gambling hall over there." ”
Li Yunhai saw that it was the gambling hall where Shen Xiulan was playing at 21 o'clock just now, and said, "I'll go find her." ”
As soon as he came in, he saw Chen Hong, she and Xiaosi were sitting at the same table, and there were only 3 hundred chips left in front of them.
Li Yunhai patted Chen Hong's shoulder and said, "Let's go." ”
Chen Hong cried and said with a sad face: "Mr. Li, I lost everything!" There is only $300 left. ”
Li Yunhai smiled: "Bet! It's normal to lose. ”
Chen Hong bit his lip and said, "I'll play again, and if I lose it, forget it." ”
As a result, he lost unsurprisingly.
Chen Hong got up in frustration.
Li Yunhai glanced at Xiaosi, she actually won back a little bit of chips, and it seemed that she could continue to play.
Xiao Si stared intently at the desktop, and didn't notice Li Yunhai next to her.
Li Yunhai and Chen Hong walked out of the gambling hall and met Professor Ni.
Everyone loses money to varying degrees, but not much.
Chen Hong lost all the $10,000 he had earned so hard.
After returning to the hotel, Li Yunhai called Lin Zhi and chatted.
He is outside, as long as it is convenient, he will make a phone call with Lin Zhi every day.
After ending the call, Li Yunhai wanted to call Shen Xiulan over, so he got up and came out and knocked on Shen Xiulan's door.
Shen Xiulan had just taken a bath, her hair was still wet, and when she saw him coming, she smiled and said, "You still haven't slept yet?" ”
Li Yunhai flashed in and said, "Knowingly ask! I can't sleep without you with me. ”
"I believe your nonsense! I've only been with you for a few days? Can you tell me about it yourself? Didn't you sleep without me? ”
"I miss you so much when I'm around you."
"Forget it! It's because you don't have Linzhi by your side that you miss me! ”
"What's the good of you being so shrewd?"
"It's not good, so you go and sleep alone!"
"I see, you won yesterday, so happy? Lost today, so not happy? ”
Shen Xiulan laughed and said, "I don't have a mile!" Hey, you said that 21 points can be counted, how do you calculate it? ”
Li Yunhai laughed and said, "Are you still thinking about this? Don't think about it, nine out of ten bets lose, this is the theorem. ”
He put his arms around Shen Xiulan's waist, sat down on the bed, and said, "That's it, I'll accompany you on your side today." ”
Shen Xiulan said: "Don't! Someone else will see it tomorrow morning! If you want to play, hurry up, and go to sleep when you're done. Let's pay attention. ”
Li Yunhai turned her over and pressed her on the bed.
Shen Xiulan lay at the end of the bed, turned around, and smiled like silk.
Li Yunhai lifted her nightdress.
When he walked out of Shen Xiulan's room, it was already half past eleven.
The hallway was empty.
Li Yunhai returned to his room and could finally sleep in peace.
The second day of CES.
Chen Hong's three models changed into cheongsams, which were not so revealing, but they were all the same, and even more attractive than wearing a bikini, because such clothes are more oriental.
Yesterday, they received an order of 20 million US dollars, which made Li Yunhai full of confidence.
The weather in Las Vegas is clear, there are more businessmen out than yesterday, and the aisles are packed with people.
You need to buy a ticket to visit this exhibition, and the ticket is not cheap.
Many people are willing to spend money to buy tickets in order to come in to see the exhibition girls.
In the exhibition hall of Sihai Group, many foreign businessmen came.
People passing by will come in to see the Chinese electronics.
As a result, as soon as I came in, I couldn't get out, and I was attracted by several high-tech electronic products, some people were trying out alien computers, some people were trying out typewriters, and some people were holding translation machines and kept playing.
Li Yunhai and they have a lot of people, and no matter how many foreign businessmen come, they can take care of them.
Among these people, only Gong Jie's foreign language is relatively poor, but since she became the manager of the branch, she has been making up for her English, and there is a translator who can be used as an aid, so it is not a problem to communicate with foreign businessmen simply.
Li Yunhai found that foreign businessmen were most interested in alien PCs, typewriters, and translation machines.
The micro piezoelectric printer is obviously one of the greatest inventions of Sihai Group, but it is not brilliant in two foreign electronics exhibitions.
Li Yunhai thought to himself, it seems that this printer has to be more optimized.
Just like an alien's computer, it is also a computer, Li Yunhai just changed its appearance, repositioned it, and its sales were different.
In order to win the market advantage, Li Yunhai mainly considered the cost and price factors for the manufacture of printers, but now the price is not advantageous, and the benefits of micro-piezoelectric have not been revealed.
He decided to revamp the printer and use the killer feature in advance, that is, ink cartridges, and at the same time bundled four-color ink to increase the price.
Li Yunhai believes that in this way, the micro piezoelectric printer can truly show its unique advantages.
Many products are not blindly cheap and have a market, but also depend on the comprehensive performance.
There was a fat and a thin one, and two well-dressed foreign businessmen walked into position.
Li Yunhai came forward to greet them and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, I am very happy to serve you." Here is the booth of Sihai Group from Huaxia, we are mainly engaged in various office equipment. How can I help you? ”
The fat man looked at the booth, fixed his eyes on the typewriter, and began to ask about the functions of this typewriter.
Li Yunhai first handed each of them a piece of propaganda paper, on which the parameters of the Sihai computer typewriter were written in detail.
Then, he began to explain in a rambling manner.
The thin man asked, "Can you only type these six languages?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "There are only so many for the time being, do you need other languages?" ”
The thin man said, "No, just ask." ”
The two looked at the computer again.
Li Yunhai took the trouble to introduce them to the Dragon PC and the Alien Computer, and talked about the similarities and differences between the two computers.
The two men went through everything in the exhibition hall, bought nothing, and left directly.
Li Yunhai introduced it for most of the day, and his mouth was smoking.
He grabbed a bottle of water, filled most of it in one gulp, and sat down to rest.
It is very strange that there are obviously more foreign businessmen in the position today than yesterday, but in the past two hours, no orders have been received.
Not only Li Yunhai, but also Professor Ni and others slowly became anxious.
But no matter how anxious they are, it doesn't work, they can't open an order, they just can't open an order.
It was busy until noon, when the number of buyers decreased, and everyone bought fast food to eat.
Professor Ni said: "I haven't opened an order today!" What's the problem? ”
Li Yunhai ate a hamburger and said: "It's okay, some customers may have to fully understand before placing an order, we wake up and seriously receive every customer who progresses, as long as we do a good job of warm and thoughtful service, our products can impress them, I believe they will always make the right choice." ”
While he was talking, several foreign businessmen walked in.
Shen Xiulan put down the hamburger in her hand and got up to meet her.
These foreign businessmen have come to see it before, and after a round of shopping, they have come back again.
"Hello, sir." Shen Xiulan smiled, "I also received you just now. Have you had lunch? ”
An old man said, "Not yet, I've been visiting the exhibition." ”
Shen Xiulan said: "We still have a few hamburgers here, I'll invite you to eat them!" ”
As she spoke, she grabbed a couple of burgers from the table and handed them them.
The old man was not polite, took the hamburger, opened the package and ate it.
Shen Xiulan brought a few bottles of mineral water and handed them to them.
After eating the hamburger, the old man pointed to the Longteng PC and said, "This kind of computer, can you really replace it in three months?" ”
Shen Xiulan said with a smile: "Sir, yes, we promise that it will be replaced in three months, the whole machine will be guaranteed for one year, and the main parts will be guaranteed for three years." ”
The old man said: "The motherboard is also a three-year warranty, right?" ”
Shen Xiulan said: "Yes, the motherboard must be a three-year warranty. ”
The old man nodded calmly and said, "How soon will you be able to deliver the goods?" ”
Shen Xiulan said: "We are shipping according to the time of the order, it is the second day of our exhibition, if you place an order now, we will arrange the delivery as soon as possible." Pls sir, how many units do you want to order? ”
The old man held up a finger.
Shen Xiulan said: "A thousand?" ”
The old man said in a deep voice: "No, we want 10,000 units!" ”
Li Yunhai and others, who were eating, were all surprised when they heard this purchase quantity!
10,000 units!
That's a big order of $39.99 million!
Everyone had forgotten to eat, and they all looked at the old man.
Shen Xiulan was also incredulous, and asked, "Sir, do you want 10,000 Longteng PCs?" It's your first time cooperating with us, you can take a thousand units first and try to see if it's good to sell. ”
The old man said, "What's the matter?" You don't have that much to stock? ”
Shen Xiulan said: "No, we have the goods!" We can provide as much as you want. But 10,000 computers will be sold for a long time! And computers are updated quickly. I'm afraid that you can't keep up with the speed of selling goods, resulting in a backlog of products. ”
The old man laughed and said, "10,000 computers is not enough for us to sell!" Do you know how much IBM ships a year? ”
Shen Xiulan really knew this data and said: "More than 3 million units!" ”
The old man said: "Our company's main business used to be IBM computers, and we could sell hundreds of thousands of IBM computers every year. IBM PS/2 computers, we have sold 150,000 units in the past month! ”
When Shen Xiulan heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked!
IBM is one of the world's largest computer manufacturers, and it makes sense that it sells millions of computers a year.
But a dealer or agent can ship hundreds of thousands of units a year, which is terrifying!
The old man said: "I ordered 10,000 Longteng PCs produced by your company, but it is just to test the water of the market!" If it's a good sale, I'll buy it in large quantities! I've been around the globe looking for a better PC vendor. In the past two days, I have taken a few turns at CES and found that your PC is the best value for money. ”
Shen Xiulan smiled: "Yes, our product configuration is absolutely first-class, and the price is the lowest!" There is no other price in the world that can compare with us. ”
The old man asked: "Your configuration is so high, and the after-sales service is also in place, why is it so cheap?" ”
Shen Xiulan said: "Mainly because of two reasons, one is our small profit; Second, because our domestic labor is cheap, the cost is controlled lower. In the United States, a worker's salary is two or three thousand dollars, while in our country, a worker's salary is only 30 to 50 dollars. We save a lot of labor costs, making our products a lot cheaper. ”
The old man nodded slowly and said, "Okay! What I value most is quality! The product quality must be good! Your service attitude is very good, I believe that your company is an honest enterprise! Thank you for the burger you gave us! I take this order in return! ”
Shen Xiulan was overjoyed, brought the contract, and talked about the details of the contract with the other party.
The old man generously agreed to the transaction method of payment before delivery.
$39.99 million, for a big guy like him, maybe it's just a drop in the bucket!
The two parties negotiated the contract, signed and sealed.
After the old man put down the deposit of $100,000, he led the people to leave.
Shen Xiulan sent them outside the booth, then turned around.
Seeing that everyone was motionless, she asked, "Is there a problem with this contract?" Or is it a trap? Why are you all looking at me like that? ”
Li Yunhai and the others burst into laughter.
"Xiulan, you are so good!" Li Yunhai said with a smile, "You exchanged four hamburgers and four bottles of water for an order of $40 million!" ”
Shen Xiulan smiled and said, "Looking at your serious faces, I thought there was something wrong with this order!" Scares me! ”
Everyone's faces were beaming with joy.
Yesterday I received $20 million, and today I won another $40 million!
The goal of $60 million is so easy to achieve!
Professor Ni sighed: "IBM is still amazing! They make more than $5 billion a year! When will we catch up with this blue giant? ”
Li Yunhai smiled bitterly: "Professor Ni, the goal you set is a little too high, right?" If we can make $500 million a year now, I think it's amazing! ”
Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li, our goal is to surpass IBM!" You say, don't you? ”
Li Yunhai said calmly: "Yes, we should indeed aim high!" Maybe one day, we can buy IBM's computer business? ”
When the crowd heard this, they laughed.
Oh, yes!
In 1988, who would have dared to buy IBM's computer business?
This large order of 10,000 computers has injected a shot of strength into everyone.
Doing business is really about metaphysics, that is, opening a business.
As soon as the business is opened, the subsequent business will also come one after another.
In the afternoon, Li Yunhai and the others went all out, and received more than a dozen large and small orders, winning 30 million US dollars!
On the second day of CES, they took $70 million!
Professor Ni smiled: "Mr. Li, your goal is a bit low!" It seems that we will not have a problem taking 200 million dollars? ”
Li Yunhai said: "If it can really reach 200 million US dollars, everyone present, I will give you a cash reward of 10,000 US dollars!" ”
Last time in Hannover, Sihai Group only won an order of 40 million US dollars, and Li Yunhai also gave everyone a reward of 10,000 US dollars.
This time, another $10,000 is also the meaning of the question.
Everyone listened and became more motivated.
After getting off work, Li Yunhai invited everyone to the best local restaurant and had a luxurious meal.
After the meal, he asked everyone, "Do you want to go to a small gambling pleasure?" ”
Everyone laughed and shook their heads: "No, I'm not going!" It's totally giving money to capitalism! If you have money, you might as well find a place to shop! ”
Li Yunhai said: "Shopping is okay!" There are many shopping malls in the casino. Then go shopping tonight! I just had to buy a set of clothes for Chen Hong and each of them. For four days, the three of them had to change into different clothes. ”
The group came to the shopping mall.
Casinos use casinos and various exhibitions to attract a large number of consumers, so the hotel industry and department stores here are also very developed.
All kinds of international famous brands and luxury brands will come here to open branches.
After entering the mall, everyone first came to shop for clothing.
Women are more interested in clothing.
Li Yunhai said to Shen Xiulan: "Just buy what you like!" I'll pay for you. ”
Shen Xiulan glanced at him: "You also buy a few thousand dollars of clothes?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "Buy!" You deserve it! ”
Shen Xiulan just smiled.
Chen Hong came over and asked Li Yunhai, "Mr. Li, how much can we reimburse for the clothing expenses?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "A few thousand yuan is fine!" ”
Chen Hong wowed: "A few thousand dollars?" ”
Li Yunhai waved his hand: "You guys pick first!" Don't buy winter clothes! Gotta buy some dew. ”
Chen Hong chuckled: "I know, I'm going to wear it for you anyway, you say okay, we'll buy it again, okay?" ”
Li Yunhai nodded, he saw Gong Jie trying on a coat, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Sister Gong, this dress is good-looking, it suits your temperament very well." ”
Gong Jie said: "It's too expensive, $1599!" I can't afford it. Hey, let me ask you something. ”
Li Yunhai said: "What's the matter, you say." ”
Gong Jie pointed to Shen Xiulan not far away and asked, "What is your relationship with her?" ”
Li Yunhai said: "The relationship between colleagues was still a classmate before. ”
Gong Jie smiled: "What I'm asking about is your current relationship with her." ”
Li Yunhai thought to himself, Sister Gong won't see any clues, right?
He groaned slightly and said, "It's a friendship." ”
Gong Jie covered her mouth with her hands and whispered, "I can't stop watching, right?" Last night, in the middle of the night, I saw you come out of her room. ”
Li Yunhai was secretly shocked in his heart, if he really wanted people to know, unless he didn't do it!
He said calmly: "Oh, last night, I talked to her about work!" ”
Gong Jie said: "In front of me, are you still acting?" I could tell at a glance that you were acting! ”
Li Yunhai touched his chin awkwardly and asked rhetorically, "Sister Gong, it was so late last night, and you haven't slept yet?" What did you do out there? ”
Gong Jie said: "Chen Hong and I chatted and watched TV together, and when I went back to the room, it was a little late, and when I was about to close the door, I happened to see you coming out of Mr. Shen's room." I saw you, but you didn't notice me. ”
Li Yunhai secretly screamed ashamed.
Gong Jie said: "I don't care what the relationship between you is, and I don't care what you were doing last night. It has nothing to do with me. I'm not going to say it either. I'm afraid of being seen by others, so it's inevitable! Pay attention, you guys! ”
Li Yunhai sneered: "Sister Gong, you are laughing. ”
Gong Jie said: "Chen Hong seems to have seen it too!" Did she mention it to you? ”
Li Yunhai was even more surprised, but he didn't say anything, only said: "She didn't say it." ”
He thought that when he went abroad, he could do nonsense with Shen Xiulan, and no one would find out.
But I don't know that no matter how secret the corner, there will be eyes that can't be found!
Fortunately, Gong Jie didn't see the evidence, just suspicion.
Of course, Li Yunhai was killed, and it was impossible to admit it.
He believed that Gong Jie would definitely not betray himself.
But Chen Hong, that little girl, it's hard to say!
