Chapter 562: Divorce
Li Yunhai's tough attitude made Ken very annoyed.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he personally went to Li Yunhai's home in the countryside to negotiate, but was rejected by Li Yunhai! The problem is that although he is angry, he can't lose his temper at all.
Although the X64 chip is a new product that has just been released, it has been valued by major chip manufacturers around the world and sought after by consumers.
Many of Compaq's old customers called to ask if there were X64 computers, but the factory could not produce them. They ordered X64 chips from Intel, and they started selling them for more than $100 more than X86 chips.
The chips sold by Sihai Group are very cheap, cheaper than X86 chips.
If you buy your own lithography machine for production, then the price is even lower.
After careful consideration, Compaq decided to cooperate with Sihai Group, and it was eager to reach a cooperative relationship.
At the past CES exhibition, Sihai Group led the trend of the 1992 CES exhibition, and also made Sihai lithography machine and X86 chip out of the limelight.
With the publication of Li Yunfang's article on the Antarctic expedition, the X86 chip has gained more international attention, and more and more people know and like this chip.
The global demand for X86 chips has expanded a lot all of a sudden.
Compaq's customers come to the manufacturer to ask for goods, but the company can't provide them, so these customers can only find other dealers to get the goods.
In order to keep the old customers, Ken took the company's mission, and couldn't wait even for the Spring Festival in the past few days, and came to this small ravine to negotiate business with Li Yunhai.
In the past, people from Sihai Group came to sell, and people from Compaq Company refused, but now they came to ask for cooperation, but Li Yunhai refused.
The negotiations reached an impasse for a while.
Li Yunhai thinks so, his company's current chip production capacity is certain, in order to complete the orders on CES, he still has to expand the factory, but it takes time to expand the factory, and there is also a certain risk, there are orders this year, it does not mean that there will be orders next year.
So he would rather Compaq purchase lithography machines to produce chips.
If the other party must purchase chips, then Li Yunhai must stick to his bottom line and act according to his own rules.
In the end, Ken had to compromise and cooperate according to Li Yunhai's rules to purchase chips from Sihai Group.
Ken asked, "Mr. Li, we want to get your company's chips as soon as possible, can we sign the contract today?" You can provide us with the chips tomorrow. ”
"In such a hurry?" Li Yunhai said, "Wait until our vacation is over and we will sign the contract after returning to Xizhou, can we?" ”
"No, Mr. Li, we have a customer who has designated the purchase of X64 chip computers. The Spring Festival is your Spring Festival, you have a holiday, we Westerners don't have a holiday. Businessmen, of course, should focus on contracts. ”
Li Yunhai thought to himself, no wonder you braved the wind and snow and rushed from Xizhou to negotiate with me, it turned out to be waiting to be used!
He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we will sign a procurement and supply contract here." After you place an order, I will notify the headquarters to arrange production for you. ”
"Isn't it in stock?" "Still waiting for production?" How long do you have to wait? It's better to have it in stock, I'll want it in these two days. ”
"How many chips do you need?" Li Yunhai asked.
Ken said, "Give us 20,000 chips first, is there any?" ”
Li Yunhai made a phone call to the Xizhou headquarters, although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the company also had people on duty.
Today's vice president on duty happens to be Jiang Zhijun, who is in charge of production and is very clear about the company's inventory and output.
After Li Yunhai asked about the situation, he said to Ken: "Knowing that you are anxious, I can coordinate a batch of goods and give them to you in three days." By the way, Mr. Ken, our company has a rule that whoever buys our products must pay for it before they buy it. You have to transfer the money to our company account before we can arrange the delivery. ”
"When we get back to West, we'll pay right away," Ken said. ”
Li Yunhai nodded: "Then there is no problem." ”
With a computer and printer at home, Li Yunhai printed a contract and signed it with Ken.
After receiving the contract, Ken took his leave and left.
Lin Zhi said to Li Yunhai: "Do you say that they are really forced by the customer?" ”
Li Yunhai smiled: "Probably yes, otherwise they wouldn't have come to us to pick up the goods." ”
Lin Zhi said: "In this way, our chips have been selling very well recently. ”
Li Yunhai said: "We received a lot of orders at CES, so many that we had to expand the factory. ”
Lin Zhi said: "Over the years, we have invested heavily in lithography machines and chips, and it is time for us to make some money!" ”
Li Yunhai smiled and said yes.
He called Shen Xiulan and said: "Compaq Company signed a purchase contract with us, and we will ask for 20,000 chips within three days. ”
Shen Xiulan said: "Three days? The money may not be able to arrive! Now the banks are all closed. ”
Li Yunhai was stunned for a moment, thinking that he hadn't thought of this question just now.
Shen Xiulan said: "With 20 million US dollars, they can't have cash, right?" ”
Li Yunhai groaned: "This is indeed a troublesome matter! ”
Shen Xiulan said: "The bank will definitely not be able to work until after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. What if their money doesn't come? Do you want to ship or not? ”
Li Yunhai said: "If the money is not in the account, it must not be delivered." If they can't remit the money, they will definitely contact us, and you can talk to them. ”
Shen Xiulan said: "I'm also on vacation, how can I communicate with them?" So, I'll contact the people on duty in the finance department and let them communicate. Do I have a way to complete the transaction through the overseas branch? ”
Li Yunhai said: "Yes, you can do it." After Compaq's payment arrives, you remember to notify me as soon as possible, so that I can arrange the delivery. ”
Shen Xiulan said: "Well, when will you come back?" ”
Li Yunhai saw that Lin Zhi was not in the living room, so he laughed in a low voice: "You miss me, right?" ”
Shen Xiulan said faintly: "It's just a little boring." ”
"Didn't Xiaoling accompany you?"
"She took Xiao Jin home, and I lived alone in the villa."
"Going out shopping?"
"And there is no one to accompany me! A person is lazy and waits to move. ”
"Then go for a walk in the park and take a walk?"
"I don't want to go, I just want to eat at home. I'm so good at eating now, and I'm telling you, I'm definitely pregnant. ”
"When I return to Xizhou, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
"Hey, you dare to take me to the hospital? Aren't you afraid that people will recognize you? When people ask you if you are the child's father, I see how you answer! ”
At this time, Lin Zhi's voice came from Li Yunhai's ears: "Who is sick?" Going to the hospital? ”
Li Yunhai was startled, looked back at Lin Zhi, waved his hand, and signaled to talk later.
Shen Xiulan also heard Lin Zhi's voice, and snorted hatefully: "Look at how dare you talk nonsense!" Be careful that you can't go back to Xizhou! ”
Li Yunhai smiled awkwardly and said, "Compaq's payment will be handed over to you." Good bye. ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Yunhai said to Lin Zhi: "I told Xiulan to let her pay attention to Compaq's payment." She said that the bank has not been working for the past few days, how can people make money? ”
Lin Zhi sighed: "Yes! Why didn't we think of this just now? So what to do? You said that the people of Compaq are really, knowing that they are all on holiday, but they want to rush to us to get the goods in the next few days! Do you think they're full and have nothing to do? ”
Li Yunhai said: "Foreigners are not the Spring Festival!" They certainly don't think the same way we do. ”
Lin Zhi said: "What now? ”
Li Yunhai said: "Xiulan thought of a solution and asked the overseas branch to complete the collection. ”
Lin Zhi sighed: "So, is Xiulan uncomfortable?" You're going to take her to the hospital? ”
Li Yunhai went around in such a big circle, and he didn't take Lin Zhi's thoughts around, but he still turned back, he had to smile and say: "Xiulan said that she was uncomfortable, so I said it in passing, and when I returned to Xizhou, I took her to the hospital for a check-up." ”
Lin Zhi said: "She is young, where is she uncomfortable?" It's nothing more than bloating after eating too much, right? Now that life is good, she must have eaten too much fish and meat! ”
Li Yunhai laughed: "Who knows about her!" Let's go out for a walk? ”
Lin Zhi snorted.
Li Yunhai took her and her children to a relative's house to visit the New Year.
No matter who they go to, they will be treated as VIPs.
There are many families to move around, and each family will only sit for a few minutes before leaving.
Because with children by your side, no matter where you go, you will receive red envelopes.
Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi went out for a walk, but they didn't prepare red envelopes, which was a mistake.
Fortunately, Li Yunhai has money in his wallet, and if someone else gives a child a red envelope, he will give the elders or children of the family a few hundred yuan, which is a gift in return.
They came to Peng's house.
Peng's house is neat and clean, which shows that Zhang Guifen is still very housekeeper. After they got married, they did not have any more children. Peng treats Zhang Guifen's children as his own, and the money he earns is also used to supplement the family.
A halfway family is also living a prosperous life.
Li Yunhai gave each child two hundred yuan.
Zhang Guifen pulled the children and asked them to kowtow to Li Yunhai.
Li Yunhai didn't even dare to say it, what age is it, you still let the child kowtow?
After walking out of Peng's house, Lin Zhi said in a low voice, "Do you say Uncle Peng is too stupid?" If you marry a wife but don't have children, isn't it in vain to help others raise children? In the future, when the children grow up and don't support him, what will he do? ”
Li Yunhai said: "Not really, right? People's hearts are made of meat, Uncle Peng is good to the children, can the children not remember his good? ”
Lin Zhi said: "I have seen a lot of this kind of thing, human nature is selfish, and my own children are not necessarily filial, let alone other people's children?" Uncle Peng handed over all the money he earned to Aunt Zhang for safekeeping, and spent all of it on them, and he was old and had no pension, so he was afraid that it would be difficult. ”
Li Yunhai didn't know what to say for a while.
It's hard to get old, and you don't know how hard it is until you're old.
How bleak the five guarantee households in the village are, everyone can see.
However, this is Peng Luozi's family matter, and Li Yunhai is not close to each other, and Li Yunhai is not good at saying anything.
The day slipped away quietly.
The New Year passed quickly, and I was still looking forward to the New Year, and the New Year passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of Ding Miao's wedding, Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi drove to Shuangxi Township.
The two townships were very close to each other and arrived quickly.
When they arrived at Ding's house, they found that there was no festive atmosphere.
Lin Zhi said: "Don't you need to prepare anything to marry a girl in the village?" ”
Li Yunhai also felt puzzled, and said: "Generally, they will be prepared, at least relatives and friends will come, and the villagers will also come to eat the morning banquet." ”
Stop the car in front of Ding's house.
Ding Qiang heard the sound of the car, rushed out of the house, sighed, patted his head, and bowed to Li Yunhai and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I forgot to inform you!" I'm sorry! My sister's marriage was cancelled. ”
Li Yunhai asked, "Has the wedding been postponed?" ”
"It's not a postponement, it's a cancellation." Ding Qiang smiled bitterly, "We're busy with this!" I forgot to tell you. ”
Li Yunhai said: "What's the matter? What happened? ”
Ding Qiang shook his head and said: "The two sides have already negotiated, and the man will give a bride price of 3,000 yuan, and then buy three gold and two sets of new clothes." As a result, the other party repented and said that he could only give a bride price of 1,000 yuan. He also said that when other people's families get married, they don't need to give a bride price, my family is selling their daughters! Miao Miao got angry when she heard it, and said that we are not rare for your bride price, and when you talk about the bride price you give, our family will buy furniture and send it over! So the marriage was blown up. ”
Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi looked at each other speechlessly.
Ding Qiang invited them to sit at home.
This is a very ordinary old-fashioned adobe house, and the furnishings in the house are relatively shabby.
Li Yunhai was surprised.
Ding Qiang has a formal job in Xizhou, plus the extra money he gets from running long distances, he should make a lot of money every year, why don't he engage in the construction of his family?
"Miao Miao! Miao Miao! Ding Qiang shouted into the inner room, "Mr. Li and his wife are here!" ”
Ding Miao came out of the back room and could see that she had cried, and her eyes were red and swollen.
"Mr. Li! Sister Lin Zhi! Ding Miao smiled reluctantly, "Let you see the joke." ”
Lin Zhi took her hand and asked, "How did you and him meet?" ”
Ding Miao blushed and said: "I went home for the New Year last year and met on a blind date." I exchanged letters with him for a year, and I agreed with the matchmaker, and then the wedding date was set. Who knew it would happen? My family even prepared a dowry for me, a big color TV costs 1,800 yuan, as well as other furniture and quilts, and the total amount of money sent by my family is more than 3,000 yuan! Why do you think their family is so small? ”
Lin Zhi said with a smile: "That's because his family is not blessed, and he is not blessed to accept a good woman like you!" If you don't get married, or come to my house to work for me, I am just about to give birth to three treasures, and I am really reluctant to you. ”
When Ding Miao's family heard that the people who came were Li Yunhai and his wife, they were all pleasantly surprised, and even invited them to take a seat.
Li Yunhai asked Ding Qiang: "You have made a lot of money outside over the years, right?" Why hasn't the house been renovated yet? ”
Ding Qiang smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Li, you see that I am busy, it seems that I have made a lot of money, but the family expenses are also large, and I haven't saved a few dollars all year round." I help people bring goods, and the money I earn has to be shared equally with my colleagues who are with the car, and besides, this kind of extra money is not happening every day. ”
"Ahem!" Ding's mother said weakly, "It's all my fault, I'm a medicine jar, and all the money Xiaoqiang earned outside was spent on my medical treatment." ”
Li Yunhai sighed and said: "Ding Qiang, I always thought that your job was quite profitable, so I didn't look for you, in fact, I have always wanted to find another driver, and Zhuang Yong will drive me instead, if you want, come and follow me, right?" Of course, if you are reluctant to do this iron job, then I didn't say it. ”
Ding Qiang straightened his waist and said, "Mr. Li, to be honest, I have long wanted to resign and go to the sea, but I don't know what kind of work I can do." With this salary in the unit, it is really too much to die! Watching others build new houses and buy new houses, I am also very greedy! Mr. Li, if you don't dislike it, I will follow you in the future! ”
Li Yunhai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I can trust your skills, you come to help me, the salary is the same as Zhuang Yong." ”
Ding Qiang knows that Zhuang Yong has followed Li Yunhai for many years, he is both a driver and a bodyguard, and his salary is extremely high, even if it is compared with the salary in Xiangjiang, it is not bad.
And Ding Qiang just came over to help Li Yunhai, and he was able to keep up with Zhuang Yong, and this treatment was so good that needless to say.
"Mr. Li, thank you! I must work hard. Alas, I am also stupid to think about it, I have known you for a long time, and I have watched you develop, but I am stupid not to know how to resign, and I have wasted so many years in vain. Ding Qiang sighed.
Li Yunhai said: "It's not too late. ”
was chatting for a while, and suddenly there was a shouting voice outside: "The surname Ding, get out!" Why did you get out of the marriage? ”
Ding Qiang picked up a flat pole, rushed to the door in a few steps, blocked the comer, and roared loudly: "What are you doing?" Why did we get out of the marriage? Don't you know? I am reluctant to give a bride price of 3,000 yuan, do you want to rob a wife for nothing? The rule of our Sungai Township is a bride price of 3,000 yuan! If it's too expensive, get out! ”
Li Yunhai walked to the door and took a look, only to see several men and women coming outside, standing outside the door with their waists crossed, pointing at the Ding family and scolding.
These people are the family of the man who was divorced by Ding Miao, and they felt embarrassed and ran out to make trouble. They called out to the nearby villagers to come and watch, and counted the Ding family, saying that the Ding family only recognized money and sold their daughter. He also said that the rule on their side was a bride price of 1,000 yuan!
In the first month, there were many people in the village, and soon hundreds of people gathered to watch the excitement.
Ding Miao was so angry that he cried.
Lin Zhi pulled Ding Miao into the inner layer and comforted her not to be angry with these indifferent people.
Ding Miao choked up and said: "Sister Lin Zhi, in fact, it really doesn't matter if I want a bride price or not, we send more furniture than the bride price." I can't see them paying so little attention to people! If I get married, will I be able to live a good life in the future? I really envy you, when you got married, how much bride price did Mr. Li go? He's still so nice to you! ”
Lin Zhi thought to himself, if you compare with me, then you will never think about it in your life.
She couldn't say this, she just comforted Ding Miao and said, "Then find a better one." ”
There was crackling and shouting outside!
Ding Miao exclaimed: "Sister Lin Zhi, there's a fight outside!" ”
