Director Wu promised Li Yunhai to take him to meet the leader.

The leader said very simply, it is not a matter of price, Mr. Li, the price you paid is high enough, but we vacated the venue yesterday to move other people's booths, which is already a special care for Sihai Group. I told the exhibitors that it would only take half a day. Yesterday at two o'clock in the afternoon, they had returned to their original positions. How do you convince me to convince them?

Li Yunhai also knows that this is indeed difficult to handle, but yesterday he received an order of 80 million US dollars, which was twice as high as the first day of the launch, how much profit is this? No matter how hard it is, he has to try again.

He said to the leader that since the venue could be vacated yesterday, it must be possible today, and if those exhibitors are unwilling, I can give them some compensation.

The leader was very surprised and asked Li Yunhai, does your Sihai Group have such a high profit? Can this event bring you so much profit?

Anyone will have such doubts.

Li Yunhai said that I am willing to try again, although it is a bit much, but as long as it is effective, I can get more orders every day.

The leader groaned slightly and instructed Director Wu to communicate with the exhibitors.

Li Yunhai and Director Wu came out together and found the exhibitors in Daping.

There was a serious shortage of booths at the Canton Fair, so Daping was also taken out to build a booth.

These booths are all built with canopies, and they are all exhibited by small enterprises that cannot enter the exhibition hall, and the sales volume of these exhibitors is generally relatively low, and some even cannot open orders.

Director Wu discussed with them and asked them to move their booths to Daping near the side of the road, and each booth would be compensated with 1,000 yuan per day.

Surprisingly, these exhibitors were willing to move to the side of the road.

Their booth was originally close to the exhibition hall, and business was not good. After moving to the side of the road yesterday, business has improved a bit.

What's more, you can get a thousand yuan in compensation every day!

It only took more than ten minutes for Director Wu to negotiate with the exhibitors and come back to report to the leaders.

The leader was also surprised, since the venue could be vacated, then of course he agreed to the request of Sihai Group, which was a good thing for mutual benefit.

Director Wu immediately arranged for people to build the stage.

With such a delay, it will not be possible to hold another event in the morning.

Li Yunhai finished this matter and returned to his booth.

Not surprisingly, this morning's passenger flow is obviously not as high as yesterday's.

It seems that there are activities in Daping outside, and the drainage is very obvious.

At noon, after the stage was set up, Li Yunhai asked Li Yunfang and Su Hong to go out for activities.

He negotiated with Gong Li and invited her to participate in the next 13 days of activities at a price of 20,000 yuan per day.

Gong Li agreed with a smile.

She can earn 260,000 in 13 days!

This is more than the salary of acting in a movie, and the time taken is shorter.

Purely from the perspective of making money, the income from participating in commercial activities is more cost-effective than making movies.

Li Yunhai transferred a few people from the Huacheng branch to distribute leaflets and guide foreign businessmen to visit the booth for negotiation.

In this way, Sihai Group is equivalent to having two large booths inside and outside.

But it's a resource he's bought at great expense.

In the afternoon, there was a large increase in foreign businessmen, and Li Yunhai, Shen Xiulan and others worked hard to promote them.

Once people get busy, they feel that time flies very quickly.

The day's work is over again.

After Li Yunfang was busy, she came to the booth and saw Li Yunhai and Shen Xiulan counting today's sales data.

Shen Xiulan entered all the orders into the computer.

"Brother, how are you selling today? Is there any effect? Li Yunfang said with a smile, "We are really working hard to promote." ”

Li Yunhai stood beside Shen Xiulan, looked at the computer screen, and said, "It's still counting." What about Su Hong and Gong Li? ”

"They're waiting outside for us to get off work!" Li Yunfang said with a smile, "Thanks to Gong Li today, she is a magnet that can attract guests over." Many foreigners even ask to take photos with her! ”

"Well, I've worked hard for you, I'll invite you to dinner when I go back." Li Yunhai patted his sister's shoulder, "Are you tired?" ”

Li Yunfang said: "I'm not tired, it's easier than you, Su Hong and I take turns, and we don't have as much time to stand as you do." ”

Shen Xiulan finished counting, raised her head and said, "Yunhai, today's sales are only more than 30 million US dollars. You say that we are doing this activity in vain? ”

Li Yunhai said: "From the third day, sales will fall off a cliff. You can call up the previous data and compare it. ”

Shen Xiulan checked the data of the exhibition in previous years and found that in the past, there were more orders at the Canton Fair, that is, on the first day, and there were only a few million sales per day from the third day.

"Huh! Yunhai, then you say, this activity is really useful? If we can get 30 million orders every day, then we can break the record this year, maybe we can get 400 million or 500 million US dollars! ”

"It's hard to get four or five hundred million, but it shouldn't be hard to do it beyond the past. I don't have a high demand, I can only get more than 300 million US dollars, then we will not suffer. ”

"How much will we spend on this event?"

"Less than 2 million yuan."

"That's a good deal! We only need to make an extra $500,000 to make a cost. ”

"Yes, we do that, and the most important thing is to attract new customers. Although these customers purchase relatively small quantities, if they sell well, they will replenish the stock in the future. ”

"Makes sense!"

was chatting, Liu Jie came over with a smile.

Liu Jie also works in the Commercial Bureau, and every year at the Canton Fair, he will come to represent the province and do some service work.

The director of the Commerce Bureau was replaced, and after Tang Yuxia was promoted to the provincial bureau, Zhang Delu, the former deputy director, served as the director.

Zhang Delu is also the leader of the team this time, he has a good relationship with Tang Yuxia, and he also takes care of Sihai Group. Sihai Group used to have only three booths, but now it has become four, which was also arranged by Zhang Delu.

Liu Jie greeted from afar: "Mr. Li is good!" ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "Liu Jie, you are very busy!" ”

Liu Jie smiled: "It's okay!" It's all trivial. I heard you rented a space outside? Spent more than a million? ”

"Almost." Li Yunhai said, "If you are poor, you will think about change!" Our company's business is not good, so we can only be flexible and look for new channels. ”

"Who will believe you when you say that?" Liu Jie hooked his shoulders and whispered, "Have you a treat at night?" Let's hang out? ”

"It's okay to have a treat, where do you want to go?"

"There are good places in Huacheng, and I heard them say that it is very interesting to have a song and dance hall called What Art Garden. Do you want to check it out? ”

"Don't you dislike cabarets?"

"Hehe, let's go and see if it's nothing! I've heard people say it's fun over there, and there's a girl from the dance academy teaching people to dance there! ”

"Really?"

"So let's go see it! Maybe there are beautiful women! ”

The two spoke in a low voice, but Shen Xiulan heard it, she glanced at Li Yunhai and snorted softly.

Li Yunhai smiled: "Xiulan, will you accompany me to dance at night?" ”

Shen Xiulan said: "I'm not going!" It's a place where unscrupulous men and women go. ”

For a long time, in the eyes of many citizens, people who went to the dance hall to play were some immodest people.

In fact, it is true that many of the people who mixed in these entertainment venues back then were laid-off self-employed people, as well as street walkers who had nothing to do.

Serious office workers, or people with families and rooms, have no time, and no money to go to that kind of place for recreation.

Li Yunhai heard that Shen Xiulan was angry, and smiled awkwardly: "I mainly accompany Liu Jie to play." If you don't go, I'll take my sister with me. ”

Li Yunfang said: "Brother, I won't go!" I'm not married yet, how can I go to that kind of place? I won't be able to get married in the future. ”

Although she went to university, she came from the countryside and was much more conservative in her thinking.

Shen Xiulan laughed and said, "Yun Fang, you and your brother are going to dance, what are you afraid of?" ”

Li Yunfang said: "Then I won't go, Sister Xiulan, I'll play cards with you." ”

After getting off work, Li Yunhai invited Su Hong and Gong Li to dance.

Su Hong rubbed her feet and said that she was too tired and didn't want to go out.

Gong Li happily agreed.

Li Yunhai said to Shen Xiulan: "You really don't go?" Then I danced with Miss Gong. ”

Shen Xiulan said: "Go ahead!" I'm playing cards with Su Hong and Yun Fang, if you come back too late, we'll go to sleep first, don't wake us up! ”

This is telling Li Yunhai that she will not come to accompany him tonight.

Li Yunhai and Liu Jie, as well as Gong Li, went to the art garden.

The art garden is located in Tongfu East Road, Haizhu District, which is the most famous and influential night market in Huacheng.

There are remnants of the old era everywhere here, and there is a unique polygonal Lingnan old architectural style everywhere.

The art garden dance hall is retro and looks like a dance hall in the Republic of China era.

It used to be a prosperous place in the old city center, with many shops and restaurants, bus stops extending in all directions, and I heard that many customers from far away in Panyu also came to visit, and went straight to the dance floor when they got off the bus.

The ballroom is large, with a huge circular dance hall, covered with cobweb-like light stands at the top, and the floor is covered with wooden parquet, and the music is played, and the colorful dance costumes are shining. The song has ups and downs, the floating shadows turn around, and the dance steps of life also rise and fall.

There are no pillars on the dance floor of the art garden, and it doesn't matter whether the dance steps are beautiful or ugly, the level of culture, age, wealth, poverty, etc., you just know that everyone is happy when you dance.

This is a very serious dance hall, just look at the dress of the men and women inside. Ladies wear professional glittering costumes and high-heeled shoes studded with rhinestones, men wear pointed-toe shoes, and some wear very high-end men's dance costumes.

Liu Jie was stunned when he saw this posture, and said, "Brother, we are in the wrong place, this is really a place to dance." ”

Li Yunhai said: "I knew that you didn't want to dance, but to pick up girls." I took a quick look, and there are still a lot of beautiful women. I have Miss Gong as a dance partner, you can find a dance partner yourself! ”

Liu Jie, with a pair of big eyes, has been searching for a beautiful girl for a long time.

There were many men and women sitting or standing next to them, all of whom had no dancing partners for the time being.

Liu Jie took a fancy to a young and beautiful girl at a glance and walked up to talk to her.

The woman replied directly: "It's okay to dance, five yuan a song." ”

Only then did Liu Jie know that the other party was a professional dancer, five yuan a song, this consumption was much more expensive than Xizhou, but it was impossible not to dance, no matter how expensive it was, it had to support this face.

"Okay, I'll let you finish tonight's show!" Liu Jie said boldly.

The woman's eyes lit up, pursed her lips and smiled, and she walked into the dance floor with Liu Jie very generously.

Li Yunhai and Gong Li danced together.

"You're a good dancer, haven't you?" Li Yunhai asked.

Gong Li snorted: "I've loved dancing since I was a child. ”

The two have known each other for so long, but they have never had time to chat alone.

When dancing, it's a good time to talk about your thoughts.

Gong Li is the youngest daughter in the family. When she was less than a year old, she moved to Quancheng with her parents due to her parents' job transfer, and she loved singing and dancing since she was a child, dreaming of becoming a singer one day. When I was in middle school, I was a member of the school's art team, and I was often active in the dance hall of Quancheng middle school students.

"I failed the college entrance examination, and then while working, while reviewing, I took the college entrance examination twice, but unfortunately there was still a difference of 11 points, and then the admissions teacher of the Chinese opera saw that I had a good foundation, and felt that it was a pity, so I reported to the Department of Art Education of the Ministry of Culture, asking for a special admission to me. Later, I was specially recruited to study Chinese opera. ”

"You are very lucky to meet noble people in your life."

"yes, that's true when you think about it. I was able to enter Chinese opera because I met a nobleman, and later I was able to make a movie, and I also met a nobleman, and now I have met you again, and you are also a noble person in my life. ”

"I didn't help you much."

"You gave me a big stage for commercial performances! An actor can't just be active on the screen. I can't make two films a year now, and more often than not, I'm idle. Through endorsements and commercial performances, I can always be active in front of the audience and fans, and I will not be forgotten by them too quickly. ”

"Well, that makes sense. So being an actor is also a hard road. ”

"I will definitely persevere, and I won't give up halfway like Zhu Lin and Gong Jie."

"How do you know they're halfway? Maybe they've found a more important meaning in their lives? ”

"The most important thing in life is career."

"Isn't there anything more important than a career?"

"You mean love and family, right? I don't think about getting married until I'm 30. ”

"Did you not think about it, or did he not agree to marry you?"

"Do you know about me and him?"

"I've heard about it, is that true?"

"I don't know what to say!"

"Then don't talk about it."

Both of them stopped talking and danced silently.

This is a professional dance hall, in addition to ordinary waltzes, but also tango, rumba, cha cha and other more advanced dances, although they are all national standard ballroom dances, but the difficulty is different.

Li Yunhai couldn't dance a lot of dances, so he sat down with Gong Li to rest.

"Why did you get married so early?" Gong Li suddenly asked.

"Because of love."

"Let me answer speechless."

"I mean it. If you really love someone, you will get married. ”

"Isn't marriage the graveyard of love?"

"He told you, right? If you don't get married, won't love die without a place to be buried? ”

Gong Li was stunned for a moment and said, "Actually, I also asked him, and he said no." ”

"Then he may not really love you. Liking and loving are two different things. Enjoying a woman's youthful body and taking responsibility for her for a lifetime are also two different things. A man can like many women at the same time, but he can only choose one to marry. Obviously, you're not the one he wants to marry. ”

"Is it because I'm not pretty enough?"

"You are beautiful, but a beautiful woman may not be a suitable wife. Maybe you think that women are still very young when they are 30 years old, and there are still many choices, but for a man who has made a name for himself, why should he choose a 30-year-old woman who has played badly? Instead of choosing a younger woman? ”

"Are men so practical?"

"Human nature is like that. Aren't you coveting his resources when you're with him? ”

"Not really!" Gong Li said angrily, "You don't know me at all!" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Maybe you can ask your heart." ”

Gong Li Huoran got up and left in a hurry.

Li Yunhai looked at her back in amazement, and didn't get up to chase after her.

Liu Jie is looking for a professional dance partner, and the other party can take him to dance any dance.

Li Yunhai sat next to him alone, looking at the men and women on the dance floor, and the colorful light of the laser lights painted a layer of psychedelic color on everyone's faces.

There was an old man in his seventies sitting next to him, because he was too old, no one wanted to dance with him, he sat next to him and watched, his companion saw that he had not moved for a long time, he reached out and pushed it, but he did not expect him to fall to the ground softly, and his companion reached out to probe his snort and found that the person was gone.

There was a little commotion in the ballroom, but it soon calmed down, and everyone laughed and said that it would be a happy death if I could be like an old man and be so absent in the ballroom.

Li Yunhai didn't expect to come to dance and see life and death.

At this time, a crisp voice came to my ears: "Hello, Mr. Li." ”

Li Yunhai looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him.

The woman was in her early twenties, with long black and bright hair, fluttering lightly on her shoulders, reflecting her fresh face, and her eyes were like bright stars, full of wisdom and agility.

She was tall and thin, but where there should be flesh, there was no ambiguity.

The Creator gave her not only a beautiful face, but also a good figure that she was proud of.

She looked at Li Yunhai with a smile, and there was a surprise in her eyes that she had been reunited after a long absence.

Li Yunhai felt that the woman was very familiar, and pointed at her and said, "Are you?" We seem to have met? ”

"Mr. Li, you are a noble person who forgets things. I used to play the guzheng at Panxi Restaurant. We've met more than once! ”

"Yes, yes, you're the woman who plays the zither! Sorry, I don't remember your name. ”

"It really makes me sad! I couldn't remember Mr. Li with such a nice name. ”

"I'm sorry, I've been busy with mundane affairs lately, and I haven't heard of the guzheng for a long time. You are? ”

"Liu Ruyi."

"Oh! What a beautiful name! ”

"I wonder if this time, I will have the honor of letting Mr. Li remember my name?"

"Haha! I don't know, I've been very forgetful lately. ”

"It's the first time I've seen a man as straightforward as Mr. Li. You don't even want to say anything to make me happy, do you? Can I ask you for a dance? ”

It is rude to refuse an invitation from a woman in a ballroom.

Li Yunhai got up and said, "Of course, it's my honor. It's been a long time since I saw you. ”

"Yes, after I graduate, I will go back to my hometown to work."

"Where are you from?"

"Shuchuan."

"The land of abundance, a good place. So how did you end up here? ”

"I found that after working, the salary I received was not as much as what I earned playing the guzheng at Panxi Restaurant when I was a student. So after careful consideration, I resigned and went to sea. ”

"And where do you work now?"

"I just came to Huacheng, and I haven't found a job yet! I heard that the art garden is very famous, and I wanted to come here to see if I could get a job, I just went to the interview, and they said that they would not recruit musicians. ”

"Oh!"

"But I didn't come in vain, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Li here. I'll always remember you. ”

"I don't have that much charm, do I?"

"Maybe after I left Huacheng, the people I met were too boring! I often think back to my life in Flower City. So I haven't forgotten a lot of people and things here. And the people and things you encounter in your life are much more interesting than mine, so I will be erased from your memory. ”

"You put me to shame when you say that. I think I will remember the name Liu Ruyi in the future. ”

"Thank you."

"Do you only know how to play the guzheng?"

"I know a lot of musical instruments, pipa, flute, erhu, anything."

"You study folk music?"

"The piano will too."

"It's good to be versatile!"

"It's not good, it's hard to get a good job."

"By good job, do you mean with a high salary?"

"If you can't make money, but you say it's a good job, it's mostly used by the boss to fool the workers."

"Haha, your words are very philosophical, you are a very thoughtful person."

"Mr. Li, are you here to attend the Canton Fair?"

"Hmm."

"Do you come every year?"

"Not necessarily, I've been gone for several years."

"Then I'm so lucky, you're here, I'm here. We're quite close! ”

"yes!"

Li Yunhai and Liu Ruyi chatted happily, and the cooperation of dance steps was also very tacit.

When she took a break from dancing, Liu Ruyi asked, "Mr. Li, can you leave me a contact information?" Don't get me wrong, I just want to greet you at some time in the future and ask if you remember a girl named Liu Ruyi. ”

"Absolutely!" Li Yunhai smiled, took out his business card and handed it to her.

Liu Ruyi took it and saw that there was only one person's name, one pager, and two Xizhou landlines on it.

"It's the first time I've seen a business card like this. What title is it? Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Only the business cards of big people will be so simple." ”

"Miss Liu is really good at joking, I'm a normal person."

"The chairman of Sihai Group, is it still ordinary?"

"So you know who I am?"

"Mr. Li, my classmates and I have worked in your company at the Canton Fair before. You've forgotten it, have you? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm really not impressed."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I don't know if you still want people? Maybe I can get you a temporary job? ”

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Yes, we just need people." Come to me tomorrow morning at the Canton Fair! (End of chapter)
