Sihai Group held an overseas dealer conference for the first time, and only a dozen foreign businessmen decided to come, which made Li Yunhai unable to calm down, and he discussed with Guo Wanhua how to attract dealers to come.

Guo Wanhua thought for a while and said, "We first have to figure out, what do foreign customers want?" What do we have to attract foreign customers? Those foreign businessmen must also consider, what is the use of participating in the conference? Who are the attendees? Otherwise, why would they make this trip? You say, don't you? ”

Li Yunhai nodded calmly, the environment at home and abroad is different, in China, every product released by Sihai Group has a leading edge and can attract customers. But there are too many choices of foreign office equipment, and most of the foreign customers are made at the Canton Fair, Hannover, CES, and they already have an understanding of the products of Sihai Group, and if there is no novelty, many customers will not come.

Guo Wanhua proposed, first, to show more sincerity, such as inviting dealers and their families to travel to Xiangjiang, in the form of tourism, to talk about business. This also seems to be more crowded, but the cost is higher. The second is to have new products released at the conference, with new products as the highlight, to attract foreign merchants, and to form a routine, in the future, every dealer conference will release new products, dealers will naturally come. The third is to engage in some activities, such as inviting celebrities to sing and the like, to raise the height of the dealer conference, so that people feel that it is worth coming to this trip.

She smiled again: "Yunhai, can't you invite Michael to shoot an advertisement?" If we can invite him to our dealer conference, then I guess the people who come will not even be able to fit the Red Pavilion! I'm just making an analogy! Of course it's impossible to invite Michael, that's too costly! ”

Li Yunhai's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Sister Guo, you have a good idea!" Then let's invite MJ over! ”

Guo Wanhua was taken aback: "Please MJ?" That doesn't work, right? His appearance fee is high! ”

Li Yunhai said: "MJ's appearance fee seems to be 5 million US dollars, and we don't need him to hold a concert, as long as we can invite him over, sing two songs, and dance two dances, what we want is this coaxing effect." ”

Guo Wanhua said: "If you can really invite MJ, it will definitely be a special sensation!" ”

The more Li Yunhai thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible: "If you want to play, just play a big game!" You tell me? ”

Guo Wanhua said: "Then it's good to merge the mainland dealer conference into Xiangjiang to be held?" Heung Kong is our global headquarters, so that customers in the mainland can also take a look at our headquarters in Heung Kong! It can increase their understanding and trust in the company. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Dealers in the mainland do not necessarily have documents to go to Hong Kong. ”

Guo Wanhua said: "That's right! Well, it will be held separately, but we can tell them that as long as they are willing and can come to Xiangjiang, then we can invite them to participate in the overseas distributor conference. What do you think? ”

Li Yunhai said of course it can.

After the two finished discussing, Xiao Anan also fell asleep.

Guo Wanhua carried the child to the bed in the bedroom and covered it with a quilt.

Li Yunhai hugged her from behind.

Guo Wanhua turned around, and the two kissed each other passionately.

After having children, Guo Wanhua's energy is focused on work and children, because she is separated from Li Yunhai by two places, she also fades her children's personal feelings.

Now that she is with Li Yunhai, the passion in her body is immediately ignited.

When he returned home in the evening, Li Yunhai first called Xiaosi and said that he wanted to invite Michael to Xiangjiang to attend the global dealer conference of Sihai Group.

When does Kosi ask?

Li Yunhai said the date.

Smallness is not Michael's agent, just a good friend. She didn't know if Michael was free or not, so she asked Li Yunhai to wait for a while, and then contacted Michael.

Half an hour later, Xiaosi called back to Li Yunhai, saying that Michael happened to be free for a few days, because he was an old friend, and his appearance fee was set at $5 million, and if he needed to record the VCR, he would need to pay an additional $500,000.

Li Yunhai said okay, then it's decided.

Xiaosi said with a smile, I have now become MJ's agent, and I have helped him pull so much income! Why don't you take care of me?

Li Yunhai said that if you want to come, come! How much is your appearance fee?

Xiaosi said forget it, I'll accompany MJ to Xiangjiang to play, and it's for free.

Li Yunhai laughed and said that a big beauty like you will give it to me for free, then I will definitely want it.

After chatting, Li Yunhai hung up the phone, and when he saw Lin Zhi staring at him, he said: "She is a star in the United States, I will cooperate with MJ through her!" ”

Lin Zhi said: "Michael is so expensive? $5 million, just come over and sing a few songs? ”

Li Yunhai said: "People have this strength, but there is no way." ”

Lin Zhi sighed: "This person is too powerful! So how much money does he have? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Then I don't know, but he has done a lot of charity." He often earns 10 million, so he donates 5 million. ”

Lin Zhi said: "Then he should make more money." ”

The next day, Guo Wanhua handed over the child to Ding Miao and Zhang Guifen to take care of, and then went to work with Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai held a meeting to discuss with everyone how to hold this dealer conference.

The meeting venue is located in Tianhua Hotel.

At this conference, the latest ink cartridge printer will be announced, and the price of this printer will also be adjusted. At the same time, the Xerox photocopier will be officially launched.

After the cooperation of Xerox, this photocopier is only sold in China, and has not held a press conference or participated in various exhibitions.

The invitation to the annual meeting has been mailed out beforehand, and those dealers who have cooperated with have also called to inform them.

Most of the domestic dealers will come to participate.

After the meeting, as soon as Li Yunhai returned to the office, he received a call from Professor Ni.

"Mr. Li, I heard the news that Lianxiang Company in the north will also hold a dealer conference."

"Didn't they always like to fight us in the ring? We've won the last two years. ”

"I've heard that they're going to be releasing a new product this year."

"What kind of product?"

"It's like a computer."

"Professor Ni, do you know what their computers look like? What are the self-developed technologies? ”

"I asked my former colleagues, and they said it was mainly about the technology of motherboard circuitry."

Li Yunhai said lightly: "Then don't be afraid!" Lianxiang is indeed our biggest competitor in China, but what we are facing now is global pressure. ”

Because it is difficult to innovate in other aspects of the computer, coupled with extremely high technical barriers, it is difficult to break through, so we can only find more value-added space from the circuit design of the motherboard.

This is the consensus of all PC manufacturers.

Li Yunhai and Professor Ni can think of this, and even think that the company will definitely do the same.

In this regard, Li Yunhai is not worried, because Sihai Group is far ahead in this regard, and even if the company has some achievements, it is not afraid.

What he is most worried about now is the suppression and sanctions brought by Intel.

In order to monopolize the chip market, Intel has made continuous efforts in recent years, and even AMD, the largest partner, has been sued by them and wants to cut off AMD's X86 authorization.

With the continuous improvement of chip integration, Intel has also entered the microcomputer support chipset market and provided "public boards" to PC manufacturers, which shortens the cycle for its new CPUs to enter the market, but also compresses the innovation space of other manufacturers.

If you want to make a computer, you can only eat by following the rules set by Intel.

In this case, there is less and less room for adding value to the motherboard circuit design. The long-term technical practice has made Professor Ni deeply aware that if China's computer industry does not master the core technology of integrated circuit chips in terms of hardware, it will always be controlled by others.

Therefore, in 1987, Sihai Group began to develop ASIC, that is, application-specific integrated circuit chip technology.

A few years ago, Professor Ni first adopted the self-designed ASIC chip on the Type 7 Hanka and achieved success, so he added the self-designed ASIC chip to the PC design of Sihai Longteng to improve the value-added, and developed the IDE control chip of VL bus and PCI bus.

Later generations all know that integrated circuit technology "chips" and software technology are the core technologies of the information industry, but in China in the 1980s, people still did not know much about chips, and few companies dared to touch chip research and development.

In 1985, Sihai Group began to develop ASIC chip technology.

Since the new products of foreign companies were first released abroad, the release of foreign companies in China was delayed for about half a year, and domestic companies generally did not have their own development department, and new models had to be imported from abroad, which took a long time and was very slow.

However, Sihai Group has been able to independently develop motherboards and produce chips by itself, which has basically synchronized with foreign manufacturers and is more than half a year ahead of other domestic manufacturers.

It's just that all this research and development is based on Intel's X86 architecture.

Now they realize that they can't put their eggs in the same basket.

Because Intel is already tightening its authorization, it will also suppress the production of other manufacturers and expand its influence.

In this environment, Li Yunhai and Professor Ni decided to take a two-pronged approach.

On the one hand, they continue to work on X86 systems, and on the other hand, they collaborate with Professor Dave at Berkeley to work on chips based on RISC architecture.

In the 80s, there were at least five chip architectures in the world, but in the end they were dominated by Intel's X86, they were willing to invest money in research, new technologies emerged in an endless stream, and they got the full cooperation of IBM, coupled with the compatibility and support of Microsoft software, where is there room for other chips to survive?

Even Apple used the x86 architecture during this period.

Li Yunhai told Professor Ni: "We must come up with independent and controllable chip technology as soon as possible!" ”

"We can now produce the first generation of chips based on the RISC architecture, but the performance of this chip is not powerful enough, which is about the same level as Intel's chips in the early 80s," Professor Ni said. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Then we must speed up the pace of research and development!" Reach the level of 386 chips as soon as possible. We can contact other research institutes in China to jointly develop them. ”

Professor Ni said: "Mr. Li, you should know Academician Ding, who has won the Nobel Prize in the United States, right? ”

Li Yunhai said: "I know, Academician Ding Zhaozhong, he was born in the United States, so he automatically obtained the nationality of the United States." But he had a patriotic heart. At the 1976 Nobel Prize ceremony, he delivered speeches in Chinese. He said he needed someone who understood Chinese to listen to him. ”

Professor Ni said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you really deserve to be a good leader dedicated to scientific research, and you know Academician Ding so clearly. We can try to contact Academician Ding, if we can get his help, then we will definitely be able to go further in chip development. Academician Ding has been engaged in high-energy physics experiments for a long time, looking for new particles and new physical phenomena, and has achieved a series of major results. ”

Li Yunhai said: "If you can get the help of Academician Ding, of course, it will be like a tiger with wings!" Professor Ni, please contact Academician Ding, hoping to get the opportunity to cooperate with their team! ”

Professor Ni said: "There is also a Chinese scientist, this person is also a very famous entrepreneur, named Wang An, I don't know if Mr. Li has heard of it?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "You know, one of the largest computer manufacturers in the United States and one of the top ten richest people in the United States!" ”

Professor Ni said: "Wang An Computer Company, founded in the 50s, once surpassed IBM. His lifelong pursuit and goal is also to surpass IBM. There's a story here. ”

When Wang An first arrived in the United States, he went to IBM to seek a part-time job, but the interviewer he met was a person who discriminated against Chinese, he looked down on Wang An very much, saying that IBM is a high-tech place, not suitable for people from the East like you, and it is better for you to find a car repair shop to work. Wang An suffered a great insult, in fact, IBM's corporate culture does not exclude Chinese, but Wang An happened to meet this interviewer. After Wang An left IBM, he made it his life's goal to surpass IBM.

Li Yunhai said: "He almost succeeded!" ”

Professor Ni continued to tell the story of Wang An's entrepreneurship.

At that time, the storage devices used by computers were basically from IBM punchcards. In less than a month, Wang An developed a magnetic core memory, breaking the monopoly of IBM. This was followed by the successful development of a calculator called Loz. This calculator was the size of a computer today, while IBM's computer was the size of a refrigerator at the time. Wang's calculator costs $3,000, and IBM's computer rents for $10,000 a month. There is no doubt that Wang An has won the market. At that time, Intel was not yet founded!

It didn't take long for Wang An's company to launch an epoch-making "WPS" computer, which is composed of a chassis, a display screen, and a keyboard, which is basically close to a modern computer.

It can be said that Wang An can be regarded as the father of modern computers.

Li Yunhai knew that it was impossible for Professor Ni to tell Wang An's entrepreneurial story for no reason, and asked, "Professor Ni, what do you mean?" Let's work with Wang An Computer Company? ”

Professor Ni said, "Wang An is old and suffering from cancer, and he is no longer able to manage the company's affairs. The company's decline is inevitable. There's never been a better time for us to acquire it! ”

"Acquisition of Wang An Computer Company?" Li Yunhai was shocked, "How can we have such a large capital acquisition?" ”

"The company's share price peaked at $43. But now it's at rock bottom, at just $4 per share. I'm afraid it will fall. In the past year, Wang An's company has lost as much as 424 million US dollars, and has been boycotted by IBM, Microsoft, Intel and other companies! I'm afraid it's going to be hard to continue. But the company's heritage is still there, and if we buy it now, we can own one-fifth of the market in the United States! ”

Li Yunhai said: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Wang An's company declines, we can't afford to buy it." ”

Professor Ni is mainly engaged in research work and is not an expert in commercial acquisitions, and said, "Mr. Li, do you want to talk to them?" If the acquisition fails, cooperation can also be discussed. Wang An is a patriotic businessman who also invested in the construction of factories in Shanghai. Now that their company is being squeezed out, cooperating with us may be the best way out! I have the contact details of their company, I tell you. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, I'll contact them!" ”

After he got the contact information of Wang An's company, he thought of the time difference, and the other party was still asleep at the moment, so he first sent an email to the other party through Xiangjiang Company.

While he was busy, Zhu Lin walked in.

"Sister Zhu!" Li Yunhai smiled, "Is Xizhou fun?" ”

"I went to a few attractions, and the attractions were very good, but I didn't find it interesting alone! You don't have time to accompany me! ”

"I've been busy with dealer conferences these days. I'll be with you when I'm free. ”

"Tonight?" Zhu Lin winked at him.

Li Yunhai was also moved, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to the hotel to find you after work." ”

Zhu Lin smiled: "Then I won't bother you, we'll talk in the evening." ”

After getting off work that day, Li Yunhai came to Tianhua Hotel to find Zhu Lin.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Lin threw himself into his arms: "You are really! Ignore me for so long! ”

Li Yunhai held her face and said with a smile: "Haven't you been busy all the time!" Sister Zhu, you miss me to death! ”

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "True or fake?" I don't think you miss me at all! ”

Li Yunhai didn't speak, and used his actions to prove whether he missed her and how deeply he thought about her.

Zhu Lin sighed, and all his unhappiness turned into tenderness and sweetness.

Afterwards, Li Yunhai stroked Zhu Lin's smooth back and said, "Are you hungry?" Shall we go down to eat? ”

Zhu Lin snorted and said softly: "I miss the days in the Beijin Courtyard so much, when will you accompany me in Beijin again?" ”

Li Yunhai hooked her chin, kissed it, and said, "After the Sihai Square project starts, I will go to Beijin." ”

Zhu Lin said coquettishly: "That's still early!" It will take another two months to complete the preliminary demolition work. ”

Li Yunhai asked, "Your parents didn't urge you again, did they?" ”

Zhu Lin Yanran smiled: "Every time they come to see me, they will ask where you have been!" I said you were busy and went abroad. They say, heck, it's not good to find a rich man, it's so busy every day, all year round, gather less and leave more! I said that it has been like this since ancient times, businessmen value profit over parting! ”

Li Yunhai laughed: "I can't bear to part, but I can't help it!" ”

Zhu Lin said: "Well, I said the same thing, I said that I used to film, didn't I leave for more than half a year?" My mom said that this is how the family is scattered! The two of them are still reliable together. ”

Li Yunhai didn't want to continue the topic, picked her up, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to Xizhou to visit the night market." ”

Zhu Lin hung around his neck, wrapped around him like an octopus, and said with a smile: "Don't go downstairs yet, I still want to be in love with you." ”

Li Yunhai choked her lips again.

Once again, the two were inseparable.

Li Yunhai said in Zhu Lin's ear: "If I were Tang Seng, it would end in your episode, what kind of scriptures, how can I be worthy of my Majesty the King!" (End of chapter)
