When Mr. Guan, the nine-door admiral, looked at the silly Li Chengtao, he always felt that he liked Suning more. After all, Suning was his disciple, and Li Chengtao was obviously not interested in antiques. All he could think about was Cai Xiaoli.
"Taozi, has Chunming written to you?"
"Ah? Old man, Chunming has only been gone for less than a month, how can you write a letter to the capital?" Li Chengtao looked at Mr. Guan in surprise.
"Humph! It's just you young people who have no conscience, you are all like the little bird out of the cage, never to return!"
"Huh?" Li Chengtao didn't know how to comfort Mr. Guan.
If Suning were here, he would definitely understand that Mr. Guan misses his son who is far away in the United States. After all, Mr. Guan is an only child and has chosen to live in the United States all year round. The old man must be very uncomfortable in his heart.
And now Suning didn't know where he had gone. He, who was used to Suning's care, felt very uncomfortable, and he felt a little regretful for agreeing to Suning's departure.
Li Chengtao obviously couldn't understand Mr. Guan. He just thought that he was a difficult person as a descendant of the Nine Admirals, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
After leaving Mr. Guan's home, Li Chengtao rushed to his own home. On the way, he saw Cai Xiaoli and immediately ran up with full health. He was not as depressed as when facing Mr. Guan.
"Xiaoli, why are you here?"
"Huh?" Of course Cai Xiaoli couldn't clearly say that she was waiting for Suning here, "I was passing by here and wanted to take a look at Chunming."
"What? Don't you know?" Li Chengtao was obviously surprised, and then quickly explained, "Chunming has gone to the south to work."
"What? Why didn't I know?" Cai Xiaoli immediately thought that Li Chengtao was deceiving her.
"Xiaoli, Chunming has been gone for almost a month." Looking at Cai Xiaoli's questioning look, Li Chengtao explained with a wry smile, "Didn't he tell you?"
"Ah?" Cai Xiaoli felt uncomfortable after confirming that Li Chengtao had not deceived her.
Looking at the dumbfounded Cai Xiaoli, Li Chengtao certainly knew that it was Cai Xiaoli who could not accept Suning's neglect of her. He also knew that Cai Xiaoli was thinking about Suning, but he didn't mind anything and quietly followed Cai Xiaoli as a flower protector.
.
"Why!"
It wasn't until Li Chengtao sent Cai Xiaoli back home that he sighed helplessly, then turned around and rode his bicycle towards his home.
Li Chengtao suddenly felt that his life without Suning had become a mess, and he needed to worry about everything. Even Cai Xiaoli, who had been thinking about Suning, Li Chengtao, could only love but couldn't help but look at him in distress.
...
Suning finally got his official ID card. After several days of recruitment advertisements, more and more workers came to apply. Now the factory has begun to install production lines.
Since there were no suitable engineers and other technical personnel, Suning could only take action in person. Li Ping'an, who occasionally came over to check on the situation, was completely shocked when he saw Suning's "all-rounder" style.
"Suning, you have been busy for so long, come down and take a rest!"
"Brother Li, if you really feel sorry for me, help me recruit technicians quickly." Suning looked at Li Ping'an with a wry smile, "I am so busy, sooner or later I will follow Zhuge Liang's footsteps."
"Ah? Zhuge Liang?"
"Yes! Die first!"
"Haha, Suning, what you said is too exaggerated!" Li Ping'an was amused by Suning's statement.
"Hey! It's not an exaggeration at all!" Suning looked at Li Ping'an quite speechlessly, "Don't they say that Hong Kong is full of talents? How come I have changed everything?"
"Haha, Hong Kong is such a small place, how could there be so many high-tech talents in home appliances?"
"Ah? What should we do?" After hearing Li Ping'an's explanation, Suning became a little confused, "Do we really need to send people to Xiaodongyang to recruit technicians? Then I don't have the energy?"
"Suning, there is a way, it just depends on whether you are willing to use it."
"Oh? Brother Li, please tell me."
"I brought your production line data back to China, and experts unanimously commented that it is at the world's leading level." Li Ping'an looked at Suning, who was facing a lawsuit, and finally stated his purpose, "So some domestic manufacturers are very optimistic about your product."
I’m willing to buy a production line at a high price.”
"Huh? Brother Li, are you kidding me?" Suning really admired these domestic seniors, and their vision was really impressive, but it always made Suning feel a little uncomfortable, "I haven't even started work yet, and someone is staring at me.
Are you on my production line?"
"This..." Li Pingan was a little embarrassed at this time, but still persuaded Suning, "Although this is not good, sometimes giving up is also a skill."
"hehe......"
Suning really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She sat aside and thought about it carefully. After a while, she looked at Li Ping'an and said, "They want this production line, no problem!"
"Ah? You agreed to sell?"
"However, I want to deliver it in the second half of 1980, and then they can have as many production lines as they want."
"Ah? Eighty years?" Li Ping'an couldn't help but look at Suning in surprise, "That means there are still two years left?"
"Yes! And I ask them to provide me with two hundred technical personnel immediately."
"this......"
"Of course, in exchange, I can accept them paying in RMB to purchase the production line."
Hearing Suning's last condition, Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel excited. Now is the time when the mainland is short of foreign exchange. If such a large sum of foreign exchange can be saved, it will definitely be a good thing for the country and the people.
At this time, Li Ping'an wanted to agree to Suning's request, but he knew that he had to ask the mainland for instructions, so he returned to his unit.
As a result, Li Ping'an brought good news to Suning the next day. Mainland manufacturers agreed to Suning's request, and 200 technical personnel had already left for Hong Kong. They were absolutely skilled people.
This is absolutely a win-win situation for Suning. It not only solves its most urgent technical personnel problem, but also lays the foundation for the subsequent construction of domestic factories.
...
Suning purchased a Mercedes-Benz 450SE for daily transportation. After 200 technicians arrived in Hong Kong, Suning obviously felt much more relaxed and could have time to think about the next thing.
The operation of household appliances does not only require production, but also sales. Although Suning's Xia Ning TV is advanced enough and has applied for a number of patented technologies internationally, it still does not have its own sales channels.
Suning was too lazy to contact sales channels bit by bit, leaving these tasks to the newly formed Suning sales team. Suning decided to participate in the International Expo held in Los Angeles, USA, in mid-March this year.
Taking several TV sets produced by his own factory, Suning boarded a plane to the United States, and at the same time brought his own full-time lawyer Lin Youtian Dazhuang. After all, having specialized legal personnel to handle legal documents is the safest thing to do.
matter.
"Boss, don't you need to hire a translator?"
"Haha, I'll think about it when I get to Los Angeles. I still prefer open-minded foreign women."
"Haha, the boss is smart!" Lin Dazhuang showed a clear expression, "When I get to the United States, I will help the boss contact translation talents in this field."
"Well! This international expo is very important, and we at Xia Ning must fire the first shot." Suning set the tone for this trip to Los Angeles. "It will be much easier to go back and develop the Hong Kong local market by then."
"Yes! Boss!"
The plane landed at Los Angeles Airport in the United States. Although no one came to pick them up, Suning and Lin Youtian were familiar with each other and arrived at the hotel they had booked long ago with ease.
Then Lin Youtian went to call the translator. In fact, Suning did not need the so-called translator at all. He was not a greedy "lecher". He just wanted to find beautiful women who were proficient in Chinese and English, so that it would be more convenient for him to attend international expos.
Promote Xia Ning TV.
The reason why I explained it to Lin Youtian like that is to make his work meet my own requirements, which is much more lively than rigid and boring orders.
"Boss, my friend has contacted three female college students at the University of Southern California and will bring them over tomorrow for you to select personally."
"Oh? Is your friend so fast?"
"Huh? My friend is engaged in translation work. He has a special translation studio."
"It's no wonder! It seems like hiring you is really cost-effective." Suning looked at Lin Youtian with satisfaction.
"Boss, this is what I should do."
"Well, since they meet the Chinese-English bilingual requirements and are still college students, there is no need for interviews and we can hire them at the same time."
"Ah? Three translators?" Lin Youtian swallowed in surprise and looked at Suning with eyes full of doubt and ambiguity.
"Huh? Lin Youtian, you don't really think I'm here to hunt for beauty, do you?" Lin Youtian's ambiguous eyes, how could Suning not understand, "I just arranged for them to introduce our Xia Ning products at the international expo."
"What? Boss, you scared me. I thought you were going to kill all three of them!" Lin Youtian still felt a little scared.
"Hey! Hurry up and contact the organizer of the International Expo!" He did not continue to explain to Lin Youtian, and then arranged the most important thing, "The organizer of the province thought that our reputation in Xia Ning was not enough, and gave us a poor booth.
.”
"Yes! Boss! I'll contact you right away."
"Well! Don't be afraid of spending money. Take your friends and these organizers out to have fun. Foreigners also need to connect with each other."
"Boss, don't worry! I will arrange it."
To be honest, Xia Ning's reputation is basically zero. Being able to participate in this international expo is already the biggest victory. However, Suning is still unwilling to accept it and is willing to take some unconventional measures.
Suning has always known that foreigners also value human relations. Now he has no shortage of money. When he came to Los Angeles, a place he was unfamiliar with, he did not hesitate to spend money.
Lin Youtian was indeed a knowledgeable and senior "gangster". He easily understood Suning's intentions. He returned to the hotel very late that day drunk, and at the same time brought back good news, that is, the organizer agreed to bring Xia Ning to the hotel.
Industrial TVs are ranked third in the introduction list.
This is a very remarkable thing. The current international TV market has been occupied by Japanese brands such as Panasonic and Sony. Even American TV brands cannot compete. It is impossible to say that Americans do not hate the Japanese.
of.
The sudden appearance of the Chanin TV set has given Americans hope of revenge. Especially when the organizers saw the excellent quality and technological content of the Chanin TV set, they couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. You must know the organizer
Behind them are major supermarkets in the United States. Of course, they welcome high-quality and low-price products so that they can maximize their profits.
Suning didn't have time to interview three female college students. She learned about the approximate figures of the three girls from Lin Youtian, and then took out three sets of Chinese red professional attire from the space world. The reason why she chose red was because it was eye-catching enough, and she would definitely wear it.
Catch the attention of international merchants immediately.
"Lin Youtian, give these three sets of clothes to the three foreign women and ask them to put on their makeup more beautifully."
"Yes! Boss!" Hearing Suning's instructions, Lin Youtian was very surprised and admired. At the same time, he suddenly seemed hesitant to speak, "It's just..."
"Just what?"
"Uh! Nothing!"
Seeing that Lin Youtian didn't say anything in the end, Suning knew that it wouldn't be too important, so he didn't take it to heart, because the next step was when his own Suning would compete with Japan's Panasonic and Sony.
...
The Los Angeles International Expo in 1978 was held as scheduled on March 15th. Suning left the capital for Hong Kong on February 16th. In less than a month, the company registered and recruited employees.
, from the installation and production of the production line, to now participating in the Los Angeles International Exposition, Suning can really be said to be non-stop, and the hardships can be imagined.
When Suning arrived at the booth belonging to Chaning Electric, she saw the layout, and also saw three foreign college students. What surprised Suning was that there was an Oriental face among the three.
The most amazing thing is that Suning still feels vaguely familiar. Just when Suning was guessing whether it would be a Hong Kong actress in the future, Lin Youtian had already ran up to her.
"Boss, you're here!" Lin Youtian looked at Suning with a smile on his face, then pointed at the three female students and said, "Let me introduce to you our three new employees of Xia Ning."
"This is our Xia Ning boss, Suning."
"Hello boss!"
"Well, hello!"
"Boss, this is Nancy, who is nineteen years old this year, and this is Delia, who is twenty-one years old." Lin Youtian's smile made Suning very uncomfortable. It seemed that he still thought that Suning wanted to pursue beauty.
"cough!"
"Huh? This is our Chinese compatriot, Gillian, whose Chinese name is Guan Xiaoguan."
"..." Suning was almost shocked. No wonder she felt familiar. It turned out to be Mr. Guan's granddaughter Little Lazy Cat.
It was obvious that Guan Xiaoguan did not recognize herself. It was no wonder that she did not recognize herself. It was now seven or eight years ago. Their family came to the United States at least six or six years ago. At that time, everyone was just a kid. Now, now
Who else knows who?
"Well, you are welcome to join Xia Ning Electric." Suning did not choose to recognize Guan Xiaoguan, but said in proficient English with a smile, "I hope you can recite our brochure skillfully so that you can introduce our Xia Ning appliances to guests in detail.
Ning’s products.”
"Yes! Boss!"
Suning casually explained a few words and then went to other booths to spy on the enemy. After all, Suning knew well that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Looking at Suning's leaving figure, Guan Xiaoguan always had a strangely familiar feeling, as if he had seen Suning there before, but he just couldn't remember this person in his mind.
"Gillian, it seems that our young boss is very interested in you, and his eyes are shining when he looks at you." Delia suddenly looked at Guan Xiaoguan with an ambiguous look.
"Delia, don't make such jokes, I don't like it very much." Guan Xiaoguan frowned unhappily.
"Haha, okay! You Orientals are too traditional and have no fun at all!" Seeing the displeased Guan Xiaoguan, Delia shrugged helplessly.
