Life 1984

Li Yunhai and Lin Xin returned home.

Lin Zhi has returned.

"Hey, you guys are out having fun too!" Lin Zhi said with a smile.

"Yes! You are only allowed to play outside?" Lin Xin giggled, "I'll take my brother-in-law out for a nice walk too!"

Lin Zhi said: "I'm having a gathering with my classmates. Our college has been upgraded and now it's an undergraduate course! Teacher Li Guyai even came back to participate in the celebration!"

Li Yunhai said: "I know. Last time I met Teacher Li in Shanghai, she told us! Are all your classmates still developing in the entertainment industry?"

Lin Zhi said: "Well, most of my classmates are still developing in the entertainment industry. After all, it is their hobby since childhood and they have studied for so many years. What a pity to leave them behind? However, their achievements are not great. Two of them became members of the song and dance troupe. Being a lead dancer is already an amazing achievement, but the salary is pitifully low, barely enough to make ends meet. They all envy me and say that I have a good marriage and will live a life of wealth and prosperity!"

Lin Xin said: "Sister, of course! You have such a good family, I don't know how many people envy you! My brother-in-law is so kind to you, and he has three lovely children! The most beautiful family in the world is nothing more than this."

Lin Zhi's face was glowing red. It seemed that she had drunk some wine and was praised and envied by others, so she was happy.

Fall asleep for a while.

Lin Zhi lay on her husband's chest and said with a smile: "No wonder some people say that a woman's ability to study well is not as good as her ability to marry well. Marrying a woman is the biggest change in her life."

Li Yunhai stroked her hair gently and said, "Okay, you've been saying it all night, go to sleep! I know your love for me!"

Lin Zhi chuckled and said, "I really love you! It's not because they praise me that I love you."

"I know that you married me when I had nothing."

"Well, that's why I married you because I really like you. It's just that I made the right bet, but as for Xiulan, she lost the bet!"

Li Yunhai couldn't help but sigh when he thought about his grievances with Shen Xiulan.

Lin Zhi took the initiative and even worked hard during the love affair that night.

Li Yunhai got a different kind of enjoyment.

The next day, Li Yunhai came to the company.

The company has been in a lot of trouble lately.

The mobile phone business is being pursued by international oligarchs, who want to kill Meihua mobile phones by monopolizing spare parts.

In terms of office equipment, more and more foreign brands are pouring into the domestic market. While a hundred flowers are blooming, it has also caused a hundred schools of thought to contend. Price reduction is just a routine battle. More often, the battle between domestic and foreign brands is a life-and-death battle. Rivers of blood flowed.

The traditional domestic planned sales system is gradually being broken, and it is no longer feasible to rely on unified purchasing and sales to make money.

The companies that can survive this stage are the ones that are truly powerful.

With the prevalence of the market economy, office equipment companies that were previously state-owned enterprises have undergone transformation, contracting, or shareholding reform, and have all been introduced to the market.

Without the halo of state-owned enterprises, some companies immediately became insatiable and their sales plummeted.

Some companies, because they have a strong leader, lead the company out of difficulties, meet market challenges, and forge ahead with determination, and have achieved outstanding results.

Li Yunhai's Sihai Group is having an increasingly difficult time in such a general environment.

Although product sales are increasing year by year, profits continue to decline as prices continue to fall and bottom out.

The golden age of office equipment has arrived, but its period of huge profits has passed.

The industry's pricing is gradually becoming more rational, attracting more consumers.

This is an inevitable process for industrial development.

Whether it is cars, computers, or mobile phones, there are such profit-making periods, equilibrium periods, and trough periods.

After Li Yunhai went to work, he started to deal with various tasks.

Lin Xin recovered from her cold and came to work today.

She came in holding the newspaper and said, "Brother-in-law, we are on the news!"

"Are we on the news?" Li Yunhai asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Look!" Lin Xin smiled brightly and put the newspaper in front of him.

Li Yunhai took it over and took a look, and couldn't help being stunned.

He and Lin Xin really made the news, and their photos were also included.

"Sihai Group Chairman Li Yunhai and his sister-in-law went shopping and watched movies hand in hand!"

The title is quite straightforward yet catchy enough.

Li Yunhai read the content carefully and said, "Fortunately, this person didn't talk nonsense. He just objectively described what happened to us last night."

"I didn't expect something like this to be on the news!" Lin Xin laughed, "Does being with you count as news?"

"Haha! Then there must be reporters at the scene."

"Brother-in-law, will this article have a negative impact on you? Uninformed people may think that you and I are really lovers! Do you want to sue this newspaper? Let them apologize!"

"No, everyone in the world is forgetful. Even their own lovers will be forgotten over time, let alone gossip news? After a few days, even if you want to talk about it, you may not be able to remember it!"

"Brother-in-law, you are so generous!"

"You don't have to worry about it. Who doesn't talk behind someone's back? Who doesn't talk behind someone's back?"

"I don't mind. Not being jealous is mediocre! I want all the women in the world to be jealous of me! Only I can become the lover of billionaire Li Yunhai! Hahaha!"

"You are still smiling, and if your sister finds out, see how she pinches you."

"My sister won't be so boring! If you don't believe it, look at it, she probably won't even take a chance."

Lin Xin was really right.

When he went home for dinner at noon, Li Yunhai took the initiative to talk about the news in the newspaper.

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I knew it was eye-catching at the first glance! If something really happened between you and Lin Xin, you wouldn't hold hands in public! You have to avoid suspicion. The more bold you are, the more it shows that you know how to do it. It's innocent. Lin Xin is a clingy girl and she doesn't have a boyfriend. I can accept some intimacy with you! But that's it! Lin Xin, did you hear that? Yun Hai is your brother-in-law! If you go too far, I'll tear your skin off!"

"I'm so scared!" Lin Xin chuckled, "Sister, just give me half of your brother-in-law, okay?"

"No! You don't even have to think about it!"

"I heard someone said that half of my sister-in-law's butt belongs to my brother-in-law?"

"Then you cut it in half, and I'll fry it with red pepper for him to eat!"

"Huh?" Lin Xin looked back at her perky butt, and was too scared to say anything.

The family laughed.

Li Yunhai answered the phone.

The call was from Liang Wei.

The Liang Wei brothers and sisters arrived in Beijin and have already started agency sales work.

"Mr. Li, there is something I need to ask you to confirm." Liang Wei said, "We have become an agent in the Beijin area. Can't your Sihai store steal our business?"

Li Yunhai pondered for a moment and said: "Logically speaking, Sihai Store can't steal your business. You are not in the retail business. No matter how good Sihai Store's business is, it is only a retail store, and its scope of radiation is also limited."

Liang Weidao: "Except for your Sihai store, all dealers in this area should come to me to get their goods, right?"

"Theoretically, that's the case."

"But Yue Hua said that if some dealers come to the branch to get goods, he will also provide them."

"Brother Liang, I think it should be like this. Some dealers are used to getting goods from the branch. Then just ask them to get the goods from you. I will tell Yue Hua about this matter."

"What I'm most afraid of is that if the branch's supply price is lower than mine, then I won't be able to act as an agent. If the prices are the same, that's fine."

"Please rest assured that our prices are definitely the same. Agents have one price level, and dealers have one level."

"Okay, then I'll be relieved."

"What do you think? Can you still adapt?"

"It's much easier than going to work, mainly because I have more freedom in time, and I'm more motivated to make money! I won't tell you, I'm busy!"

"OK, bye."

Li Yunhai thought for a while and called his sister Li Yunfang.

"Brother!" Li Yunfang's tired voice came over.

"Yunfang, are you still in the hospital?"

"Well, my mother-in-law will have to stay in the hospital for half a month."

"Is it that serious?"

"Broken bones! Old people are the least likely to fall. If you fall, you will break a bone. If you fall, you will lose half your life. To be able to save one life is already a great blessing among misfortunes."

"Well, then you should pay more attention to your health and don't work too hard."

"Brother, I know, no matter how hard it is, it will only last half a month. Brother, are you looking for me if you have something to do?"

"It's okay, let me ask you about your situation."

Seeing that his sister was so tired, Li Yunhai stopped talking to her about the matter. Instead, he called Yue Hua directly and stated Liang Wei's request straight to the point:
"Yue Hua, dealer of Beijin, please stop supplying goods. If anyone comes to you to get goods, give them Liang Wei's business card and ask them to find an agent to get goods. This will save you trouble."

"Brother, I know that there are indeed many agents who still come to us to get goods these days. I have explained to them one by one that after they get the goods this time, they will go to Liang Wei to get goods next time." "Very well. Okay. Are you busy?"

"Please rest assured, brother, I am qualified for this job."

"You have many brothers and sisters at home. Do you want to take turns going to the hospital to take care of her? I see that Yunfang is very tired. She hasn't had a good rest after so many days."

"Brother, I told you, but Yunfang didn't listen. She said that she was the daughter-in-law, and my mother was her mother. She should be filial in front of the hospital bed. I'll try to persuade her again."

"okay!"

Li Yunhai put down the phone and saw Zhao Jinping walking in.

"Mr. Zhao, sit down."

Zhao Jinping smiled and said: "Mr. Li, we have solved the problem of the supplier of accessories. We have also found a European supplier. This company is not subject to the control and interference of other countries. It is willing to supply us, and the price is better than The original one is cheaper.”

Li Yunhai said: "So, there are always more solutions than difficulties. There are a thousand ways to block others, but there are ten thousand ways to break through."

Zhao Jinping said: "This company originally produced very little. After cooperating with us, they wanted to expand their production capacity by more than ten times. I signed a two-year cooperation agreement with them, and they agreed to expand their production capacity."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhao, you have made another great contribution!"

Zhao Jinping said: "I was able to find an accessory supplier this time thanks to Michiko's help. She had been in contact with this company when she was at Toshiba and knew that they produced this accessory."

Li Yunhai said: "Michiko? Okay! I understand."

An accessory crisis has been temporarily resolved.

But Li Yunhai turned this crisis over to the other party.

He monopolized 75% of the global production of a certain accessory at a high price!
This incident quickly caused an uproar around the world.

With the arrival of the peak shipping season, many mobile phone manufacturers find that they cannot buy accessories!
Especially for small and medium-sized manufacturers, they generally do not order products from parts factories, but purchase from wholesalers in their own countries.

But they will soon be out of stock!

The entire market is out of stock.

Major manufacturers like Motorola and Nokia are running out of inventory. When they think about placing orders in advance, they suddenly find that their overall production capacity is tight!
No one took their order!
A small accessory that was originally very inconspicuous has become an important accessory that has stuck in the necks of many mobile phone manufacturers overnight.

Any product that can be produced in a certain country must be because there are mature supporting facilities and supply chains.

This product may not have high technical content, but it is not that easy to build a factory to produce it.

Once the industrial supply chain is formed, production costs will also be reduced.

Even if latecomers can produce, they will lack competitiveness.

No one knows why the production capacity of this accessory is saturated!

If you can't buy accessories, you can't assemble the phone, which will seriously affect the shipment rate.

Meihua mobile phones have a sufficient supply of accessories and have become the most popular and best-selling mobile phones for a while.

Li Yunhai swept the global mobile phone market with one move, and taught mobile phone competitors a vivid business war lesson.

In order to expand production capacity, many mobile phone manufacturers simply invest in the production of this small accessory themselves.

It takes at least half a year to build a factory, obtain approvals, recruit workers, train people, and then start production.

At that time, the third generation of Meihua mobile phones will be officially released.

And Li Yunhai can dump the spare parts he has hoarded at low prices.

Those newly built parts factories will be greatly impacted and may even go bankrupt.

Li Yunhai only needs to lose a small amount of money to win this beautiful sniper battle!

What he attacked was the arrogance of his peers.

He wants his opponents to understand that Sihai Group is not a weakling who can be manipulated by others!
Spring is here and the flowers are blooming.

This weekend, Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan made an appointment to go out for an outing.

Everyone discussed going to Huitang to soak in the hot springs.

Huitang Hot Spring was developed as early as the 1960s. The first sanatorium was built. By the 1980s, a huge hot spring resort hotel was built.

Li Yunhai and others have heard about this place for a long time, but they have never gone there to relax.

He discussed with Lin Zhi and brought Lin Zhenbang and Tang Yuxia over, and headed to Huitang together.

Huitang is 80 kilometers away from Xizhou, more than an hour's drive.

After arriving at the place, they stayed at the largest Xiangdian Hot Spring Villa, covering an area of ​​more than 300 acres, with luxurious decoration and multiple hot spring pools of various sizes.

Huitang Hot Spring has a history of more than 2,000 years and has the reputation of "natural medicinal spring" and "the first spring in Xiaoxiang".

In modern times, there have been several remarkable people around Huitang, making Huitang famous all over the world.

Some people praised this place as: "A unique place in the south of the Yangtze River, a gray soup resort, famous for its three Xiang and four rivers, hot springs boiling with jade, purple air rising, clouds steaming hundreds of miles into the sky, green mountains and green water floating in the moonlight, rice flowers fragrant with a good harvest, a treasure land in the world," The fairy villa is an eternal legend."

After Li Yunhai and the others checked into the hotel, they rested for a while before going to the hot springs in the afternoon.

Although we are all acquaintances, it is still unacceptable for men and women to hang out together.

So men and women came to the hot springs separately.

Leave the children alone and leave them all to the women.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhenbang soaked in a pool alone. Weng and his son-in-law talked frankly about each other in the mist.

Talking about the landscape manor built in the countryside, Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Dad, the house will not be built until the second half of the year. Can you please give it a name?"

"A house needs a name?" Lin Zhenbang brushed the hot spring water over his body from time to time and said, "How big is it?"

Li Yunhai looked around and said, "It's just bigger than this villa!"

"What?" Lin Zhenbang was startled and said in a voiceless voice, "Bigger than this villa? How big must it be?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "It is just a landscape farm. There are mountains and water, and there are swimming pools, basketball courts, sports fields and other facilities built inside. It is equivalent to a small community! It has everything it needs."

"You are not building a house, you are building a city!" Lin Zhenbang said, "What a waste!"

Li Yunhai said: "When you make money, you just want to spend it! Spending the money can drive economic consumption."

"how much did you spend?"

"It's not much, maybe more than 10 million!"

Lin Zhenbang was silent for a long time.

More than ten million!
He and Tang Yuxia had worked all their lives and never saved so much money.

"Alas! Yunhai, you have gone too far with this matter." Lin Zhenbang said, "How many rooms can your mother and I live in? Isn't such a big house too empty?"

"Dad, Lin Zhi and I will also come home to live in the future." Li Yunhai said, "We have many children, and we will hire staff so that it won't look too empty."

"What's a good name for such a big manor?" Lin Zhenbang pondered slightly and said, "How about calling it Homecoming Garden?"

"Gui Xiang Yuan, what a good name!" Li Yunhai said, "It sounds nice and has a meaningful meaning. It is very suitable for my father's identity."

Lin Zhenbang smiled and said: "Yunhai, thank you for your trouble! You built such a big manor for us to retire!"

Li Yunhai said: "This is my filial piety to you. You have retired, and no one can fault you. Don't you think you can't even enjoy the blessings of children when you get old?"

Lin Zhenbang nodded slowly: "You're fine! Lin Zhi is following the right person if he follows you."

Li Yunhai said: "I am also very grateful to my father for marrying Lin Zhi to me."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

After soaking in the hot spring, everyone went to change clothes.

After changing clothes, the woman took the children to a nearby peach forest to take pictures.

In the evening, they had dinner at the villa.

After eating, everyone returned to their rooms.

Li Yunhai was playing with his children when his cell phone on the table rang.

Lin Zhi said: "Who called your phone and it rang but then stopped?"

Li Yunhai said: "Who knows! Maybe it's a cross-number."

Lin Zhi picked it up and looked at it, then smiled and said, "It's Xiulan. She wants to find you, so she's just aboveboard. Why is she so sneaky?"

Li Yunhai understood what was going on, but said: "Maybe it's a child playing with a mobile phone!"

Lin Zhi said "oh" and didn't become suspicious.

Li Yunhai remained calm. After waiting for half an hour, he said, "I'm going out for a walk."

Lin Zhi glanced at him and said nothing.

Li Yunhai stepped out and saw no one in the corridor, so he came to Shen Xiulan's room door and knocked lightly. (End of chapter)
