Chapter 446: An Unavoidable Fierce Battle

Li Yunhai pretended to be surprised and asked, "Do you still want to be paid?" I thought you were volunteering. ”

Wu Wenfang flattened his mouth and said, "We are obliged to perform?" That, that's okay too. ”

Li Yunhai patted her cute face and said, "I'm joking, your salary will be calculated according to the actor's salary!" There are as many male protagonists as there are female protagonists. There are many supporting actors, and there are also many supporting actresses. ”

Wu Wenfang sighed: "Great! ”

They contacted Zhou Xingxing and others.

Zhou Xingxing's salary is 400,000.

The few movies he made in the 80s were all paid less than 100,000 yuan, and very few could reach more than 100,000 yuan.

This time, he offered a high price of 400,000 yuan, which is already extremely high.

After all, Zhou Xingxing in the 80s has not yet got a high-grossing movie.

Lin Zhi and others are very puzzled, why did Li Yunhai also invest in movies?

The reason given by Li Yunhai is very convincing, spending millions of dollars to play, mainly to promote his company. If a movie becomes popular, the number of viewers reaches tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and a soft advertising line in the movie, or soft implantation, can allow tens of millions of people to see the products of Sihai Group.

He asked MJ for an advertisement, and it would cost him $8 million, which could make more than a dozen small-budget movies.

Lin Zhi didn't understand these either, so he just tossed it.

Li Yunhai and his entourage played in Xiangjiang for a few days, and at the end of the year, they had to prepare for the CES electronics show in January 1990, so they went home.

Chen Meilin told Guo Wanhua that she wanted to follow Li Yunhai to travel to the United States.

Guo Wanhua felt that asking for leave to go out to play was not the way of a student, blocking her daughter's travel plan, and said that she would take you on a trip after the holiday.

Of course, Chen Meilin didn't give up, saying that it would only be a few days, and there was a weekend in between, so she couldn't delay much homework, crying and shouting to play.

Guo Wanhua really couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.

Let's say that after Li Yunhai and they returned to Huacheng, they stayed in Zhiyuan, walked in Huacheng for two days, and inspected the Huacheng branch by the way.

After the completion and opening of Xizhou International Airport, it will be much more convenient to travel.

From Huacheng back to Xizhou, it only takes more than an hour to arrive by flight.

After returning to Xizhou, Li Yunhai began to prepare for the CES exhibition.

The orders obtained by this dealer conference should also be arranged for production.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the time came to New Year's Day in 1990.

As soon as New Year's Day passes, Sihai Group is about to participate in the CES electronics show.

1990 is a special year worth remembering for China's electronics industry.

Few people know that China's electronics industry started in 1952, at the same time as the East, and developed 20 years earlier than South Korea and Taiwan. After 30 years of hard work after the founding of the People's Republic of China, by 1980, the electronic industry system composed of China's Academy of Sciences, Qingzhou, Beibei, Fu, Jiao, and the Ministry of Electronics Industry was able to develop a full set of core equipment for chip production, such as: step-by-step laser projection lithography machine, ion implanter, pattern generator, mask shrinking machine, single crystal furnace, etc., all of which are domestically produced.

At that time, the manufacturing accuracy of China's military chips could reach about 5 microns, and it evolved to 3 microns. It can imitate Intel 8080 chips and 16K/64K memory chips. China's various satellites, fighter avionics systems, ship electronic equipment, ballistic missile navigation systems, air defense missile guidance heads, phased array radar arrays, and torpedo sonars mainly use domestic components.

The Moore cycle of the rapid upgrading of the electronics industry will lead to the laggards being thrown farther and farther away, and it is difficult to catch up.

Fortunately, the emergence of Sihai Group has allowed domestic electronic products to keep up with the pace of the world.

In 1990, China began to relax the access of electronic products, canceled the restrictions of approvals, and greatly reduced tariffs.

The benefits of this are obvious.

A large number of foreign PC brands have entered China, which will produce healthy competition.

The price of electronic products will drop significantly.

There is no doubt that Sihai Group will also bear the huge impact of foreign electronic products.

The problem of electronic components is not the problem of any company, it must rely on the strong strength of the country to solve it as a whole, which is a life-and-death struggle between industrial systems. Otherwise, even if Intel was born and raised in our country, it will definitely not live long, because the United States is the standard-setter of the electronics industry, and it can easily strangle you.

On December 12, 1986, the former Computer Administration of the Ministry of Electronics Industry led the 0520 computer development team to establish Great Wall Computer Company. In the following four years, under the protection of the import licensing system, the Great Wall lived a very nourishing life. At that time, the price of IBM's PC in Zhongguancun was 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and the Great Wall 0520CH sold more than 20,000 yuan a unit, with a total of more than 15,000 units and an income of several hundred million.

Sihai Group also rose rapidly during this period of time and earned its first pot of gold.

Before 1990, Li Yunhai had completed the overall layout in the field of electronics industry.

This is also the deep reason why he spares no effort to invest all the money he earns in research and development.

Because there is not much time left for Sihai Group!

Before 1990, this was the best opportunity for China to establish a computer localization industrial chain. At this time, the gap between China and Europe and the United States is not large, once the positive cycle of investment profits is realized, it will enable China's electronics industry to have the energy to catch up with the two-year wave of Moore cycle. With domestic enterprises as the core of industrial upgrading, it will not be thrown out of sight by Europe and the United States, and even South Korea and Taiwan dare to step on it.

The industrial investment window is fleeting!

When you invest 400 million yuan, you can catch up, and after 40 years, you may not be able to catch up with 4 trillion yuan of investment! If you make a mistake, you will be resentful for forty years.

Fortunately, Li Yunhai and his Sihai Group persevered!

Li Yunhai did not take a short-sighted view of this little interest in front of him, but gritted his teeth and invested, and achieved great success.

The huge investment of Sihai Group every year has caused domestic private capital to follow the scenery, and an industrial chain built by domestic capital has been completely retained.

In the 80s of the 20th century, computers were the preserve of a few. Before 1990, there was an approval for the import of PCs, and high tariffs of 200% to 300% were imposed. In 1984, China's computer sales were 110,000 units, of which IBM accounted for the vast majority.

In 1989, China's domestic PC accounted for more than 67% of the domestic market share!

Since 1990, China has gradually reduced tariffs and canceled approvals, and a large number of foreign brand PCs such as IBM, AST, and Compaq have entered China, and domestic brand computer enterprises have been greatly impacted.

Li Yunhai knew that a vicious battle was inevitable.

This trip to CES can also be said to be the most important campaign for Sihai Group in foreign markets.

Foreign brands come to China to harvest, and brands from all over the world will also take the initiative to attack foreign markets.

Therefore, Li Yunhai attaches great importance to this CES electronics show.

Li Yunhai, who has not participated in the exhibition in person for many years, will take charge in person.

Shen Xiulan made a comeback after giving birth and will also go with her.

Li Yunhai organized the strongest sales camp and brought the company's best products to Las Vegas.

After the X64 chip has been updated, there has been a breakthrough in performance, but it has not yet reached Li Yunhai's ideal appearance, so he does not plan to release it too early.

Li Yunhai led the crowd to fly to Xiangjiang, and after receiving Chen Meilin, he went to Las Vegas.

Guo Wanhua did not go because she had to coordinate orders for import and export products.

It's like Nyingchi wants to stay in Xizhou to preside over the overall situation.

Since having An An, Guo Wanhua's whole state has changed greatly.

She put all her focus outside of work on her youngest son.

Even Li Yunhai has only one symbol left for her: her son and his father.

The group departed from Xiangjiang and took a flight to the United States.

On the flight, Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin sat together.

Chen Meilin's excitement was beyond words.

"Meilin, haven't you been to the United States before?" Li Yunhai asked her, because he felt that with her family's conditions, it should be very common for her to go abroad when she was a child.

"Nope!" Chen Meilin smiled, revealing snow-white teeth, "My dad never took me abroad to play, and my mom took me to the East and Singapore a few times. ”

Li Yunhai said: "Remember, after you arrive in the United States, you must obey my command in all your actions." The country is very developed, but it is also chaotic, and danger is everywhere. Especially single women who go out of town are easy targets for criminals. ”

"Brother, don't scare me, okay? Every year, so many people go to the United States, and they all disappear without seeing them! ”

"Haha! You're a little girl, and you're so pretty, that's different! ”

"Okay, I'll just listen to you."

Shen Xiulan asked: "Do Xiangjiang people also like to immigrate to the United States?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Definitely! People go to high places. Now the global economic center is indeed in the United States, and even we have to go to the United States to make money! ”

It was very boring on the flight, but fortunately, there was Chen Meilin, a pistachio, to chat, which brought a lot of joy to Li Yunhai.

All the way to the United States Casino.

Li Yunhai and they stayed in the hotel.

At the 1990 CES electronics show, the number of reporters attending the conference reached 1,600, a new high, which made CES achieve unprecedented attention, becoming the first event in the field of consumer electronics, and the vane of the consumer electronics field every year. CES has a strong ability to focus on media, starting in the 1990s.

Li Yunhai laid out the layout here in advance, and advertised on the local TV station and on the street.

Posters of MJ and the Alien Computer were plastered all over the main streets of the city.

The eye-catching LOGO and Chinese logo of Sihai Group have also become the most conspicuous scenery of the city.

The exhibition work has been completed by the branch of the United States.

Li Yunhai went to take a look.

After last year's rectification, the Mi Guo branch has a new look.

The new branch manager is named Jack, a talented student at Harvard University.

Last year, the sales of Sihai Group's products in the United States increased significantly, especially the ink cartridge printer, which became one of the best-selling printers in the United States.

The consumables produced in China have also become sought-after goods in the United States.

The bargaining power of CCA, Li Yunhai is still firmly in his hands.

As long as he holds the patent rights to the raw materials, he can set the price of these products and then control the selling price of the CCA.

Jack led the staff of the branch to welcome the leaders from the headquarters and visited the CES booth.

That evening, Li Yunhai had dinner with everyone and delivered an impassioned speech, hoping that this CES exhibition would achieve good results.

According to the usual practice, Li Yunhai set a goal for everyone: 300 million US dollars!

Everyone felt that this goal was set a bit high.

But Li Yunhai feels that the goal is to be chased and achieved!

If it's just to get you done, then I'll just set $100 million, which can definitely be done, but what's the point?

After listening to it, everyone also felt that it made sense.

However, everyone knows that even if the goal is not achieved, the boss will not be held responsible.

For this year's exhibition model, Li Yunhai still invited Chen Hong and several of her classmates to come.

After eating, Chen Meilin asked Li Yunhai to take him to the casino to visit.

Li Yunhai agreed with her that he could only visit, not play.

Chen Meilin raised her small mouth and said that it was okay to just play?

Li Yunhai asked her how much money she had in her pocket?

Chen Meilin said she brought $20,000 with her.

Li Yunhai said, this is all your money in the United States for a few days, if you lose all your money in the casino today, then you can only stay at the exhibition every day in the next few days, or stay in the hotel.

Chen Meilin stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, Then I only took a thousand dollars out to play, okay? If I lose it, I won't play.

Li Yunhai then agreed to take her there.

Shen Xiulan and the others had already seen the casino, and they didn't have so much money to lose, so they didn't want to go, because they were tired from the journey, and they all went home to rest.

Li Yunhai took Chen Meilin to a casino.

Chen Meilin played the slot machine first, won dozens of dollars, and was very happy, so she pulled Li Yunhai to the hall to play.

She grew up in Xiangjiang and has watched gambling movies such as God of Gamblers, so she has a great curiosity about gambling.

As a result, as soon as she made a move, she won two thousand dollars.

Li Yunhai smiled: "Meilin, you are lucky, if you win, you will leave, right?" Otherwise, you're going to lose all your money again. ”

"No, I'm still going to bet! Anyway, lose all the money and leave. "Chen Meilin is on the rise, where is she willing to leave?

"Alas!" Li Yunhai shook his head, and he didn't know why a female college student would like gambling so much?

In fact, Chen Meilin simply regarded gambling as a game, just to play.

I don't know if it's luck, Chen Meilin won thousands of dollars in a row!

"Brother, this casino is very good to win! My $1,000 is about to turn into $10,000. Chen Meilin happily hugged Li Yunhai and kissed him on the face.

A few Chinese gamblers next to him heard it, and they all looked sideways.

A middle-aged Chinese said, "Miss, I lost 300,000!" How can you say it's so easy to win? ”

Chen Meilin chuckled.

She put all her money on the line.

As a result, she won again, and her assets increased to nearly $20,000.

Li Yunhai was very surprised.

Shen Xiulan's gambling calculation was very good, but she still lost in the end, so she was reluctant to enter the casino now.

I didn't expect Chen Meilin's gambling luck to be even more outrageous!

Chen Meilin's morale was high, and her big eyes gave off the brilliance of a gambler.

Li Yunhai thought to herself, it seems that if she doesn't lose this money, she doesn't believe in the casino.

So she was allowed to continue betting.

Chen Meilin is worthy of being born in a wealthy family, and she is very atmospheric in gambling, no matter how many chips she has in her hand, she is a stud.

If you want to lose, you will lose, and if you want to win, you will win.

When she pushed out all the chips again, Li Yunhai thought to herself that you must have lost this time.

Li Yunhai always believes that all gambling is actually a scam.

The dealer may let you win some money first, but it will all be withdrawn in the end.

After the cards were drawn, Chen Meilin won again!

Li Yunhai was amazed.

This kind of betting, all the cards are manipulated by the dealer, plus there is an electronic eye monitoring, the average person can not get out of the thousands.

Chen Meilin is a female student again, she has never been in a casino, and she will never be out of the house.

Is her luck so good?

Next, Chen Meilin won a few more, and the chips in her hand reached $120,000!

Li Yunhai began to have an inexplicable excitement with her!

The feeling of winning money in a row can really make people lose themselves!

Li Yunhai persuaded her and said: "Mei Lin, a clever gambler, will not win the last copper plate, you used a thousand dollars to win 120,000 US dollars, this is already a miracle." Let's go, shall we? ”

Chen Meilin's face showed a charming look: "Brother, I'm very popular now, let's play for a while!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Then don't go all-in, bet less." ”

Chen Meilin thought for a while and said, "I'll bet again!" All-in! If this one loses, I'll never play again. If I win, how about I continue to play? ”

Li Yunhai said: "Whatever you want!" Anyway, it's the money you win, and it doesn't matter if you lose. ”

Chen Meilin pushed all the money out again.

$120,000 may seem like a lot, but at such a table, it's actually nothing.

And Chen Meilin won it slowly, so she didn't attract the attention of others.

Li Yunhai saw that the middle-aged Chinese who spoke just now had lost more than $300,000!

I wonder if Chen Meilin's gambling luck can continue?

Li Yunhai, like her, was also excited and waiting for the cards to be opened.

"Lost again!" A middle-aged Chinese sigh came from the side.

At the same time, Chen Meilin shouted: "Brother, I won!" Do you think I'm very lucky? ”

Li Yunhai also felt incredible!

He has been to the casino so many times, and every time he comes, he will go into the casino to gamble, but he will lose thousands of dollars every time. It's time to play.

Shen Xiulan, Chen Hong and others also liked to play before, but they lost every time, and they knew that it was impossible to make money here, so they stopped playing.

If it weren't for Chen Meilin's desire to come and play today, Li Yunhai wouldn't have come.

What I didn't expect was that Chen Meilin's luck was so against the sky?

Since her gambling luck is so good, Li Yunhai will continue to play with her.

The cost of a thousand dollars was won by Chen Meilin for hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Chen Meilin's courage is also getting bigger and bigger, and every time she directly bets all the chips.

The gambler's personality is very strange, and the people next to him obviously saw that Chen Meilin had been winning, but they didn't follow.

They only trust their own judgment.

Half an hour later, Chen Meilin's chips became $960,000.

Nearly a million dollars!

Li Yunhai was dumbfounded!

Chen Meilin also felt that her luck could not last forever, so she decided to stop.

Just as they were about to leave, two casino staff came over and stopped them. (End of chapter)
