The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 498

Chapter 498 496. So the steak is here

After finishing the wine, Cao Yang put down his glass and started cutting his own steak.

After two seconds, Yanagawa Zhi didn't speak. When he raised his head, he realized that Mr. Liu had been staring at him.

"What's wrong, Mr. Liu? Do I look weird when I eat?" Cao Yang put a piece of beef into his mouth and asked him vaguely.

"No." Yanagawa shook his head and laughed. "Seeing this steak, I suddenly remembered a past incident."

So Yanagawa took this opportunity to explain to Cao Yang:

"Lenovo was founded as the China Computer Research Institute. The process of its establishment was complicated and tortuous. It can be said that its development to today has gone through many life and death challenges.

I know you are very familiar with Guangnan, and I have a deep affection for Mr. Ni, so I believe Mr. Cao has a certain understanding of Lenovo.

I won't go into too much details, I'll just talk about things related to this steak.

Lenovo made its fortune in the beginning mainly because of Hanka, and Guangnan played an indispensable role in this aspect.

However, in 1986, Hanka did not show its advantage in the market, with only 1,300 units sold.

By 1987, the atmosphere in the market was even more tense.

There are many smart people in this country, and Ni Guangnan and I are not the only ones who see the value of the Chinese character system.

Before, there were still some people who worked hard and devoted themselves to research. Now they feel that the time is right and they have come out one after another.

At that time, there were Giant Hanka, Xiaojun Computer, and the "Soft Chinese Character System" of the Sixth Institute of the Fourth Department of Machinery of the State Council.

The latter is a particularly interesting thing, because it only has software and no hardware, so it can be copied for free and is overwhelming, accounting for 60% of the Chinese character system market. The sales staff of Liushuo were in high spirits and declared that "LX-80" would never be their rival. "

Yanagawa Zhi listened while talking about Cao Yang.

He seems to be focusing only on recounting these past events, and his true intentions are still puzzling to this day.

However, Cao Yang is also happy to be an audience. He is not very interested in Yanagawa Shi, but he is very interested in Ni Guangnan and wants to know what happened back then. Lenovo actually has very little external information, including Yanagawa Shi himself. The only things that can be found on the Internet are his titles as president of the Entrepreneur Club and the title of National Advanced Model Worker.

As for his experience at Lenovo, what Yanagawa has done for Lenovo, or what Yanagawa has done for himself, these are actually secrets within the industry, and Cao Yang has no place to ask if he wants to.

Of course, based on the memory of his previous life, Cao Yang still knew something about him, but he didn't go much deeper.

During dinner today, Yanagawa Shi chatted with him. It was a conversation between friends. Although he might not be able to tell the truth, or he would definitely not disclose some dirty tricks, it could still give Cao Yang a glimpse.

So Cao Yang quietly listened to Yanagawa Shi's story while eating.

And for the first time, he knew that Lenovo had many competitors back then. It turned out that Hanka was not the only one, and Ni Lao's technological leadership was not that far ahead.

Yanagawa raised his big hand, frowned, and said, "The situation at that time seemed to be more dangerous than a year ago.

But for the company, 1987 was a turning year for Hanka. This year, Hanka sold at least 6,500 sets, occupying the national sports committee, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, the Family Statistics Bureau, the Provincial Heilongjiang Government Finance Department and the Taxation Bureau, and also sold at least 1,000 foreign computers. "

"By the way, microcomputers are what you call computers now. We didn't have such an advanced vocabulary at that time, because they were all made of tiny chips, so we called this thing a microcomputer.

If you think about it, we would not have thought that computers could be used to watch movies in the future, let alone play games. At that time, the main purpose of microcomputers was for calculations. "

Cao Yang nodded to express his understanding.

Maybe some people born in the 1990s are quite unfamiliar with this term, but Cao Yang was born in the 1980s. He had heard of this thing when he was a child, so he knew what it was.

But he didn't interrupt Yanagawa Shi and continued to listen to him.

but…

Cao Yang thought to himself, does this have anything to do with steak?

Mr. Liu continued, “It is precisely this that allows the company to quickly accumulate wealth.

The year-end review by the Commercial Bureau showed that the company already had sales revenue of 73.45 million yuan, working capital of 5.5 million yuan, fixed assets of 4 million yuan, and paid taxes to the government of 3.47 million yuan.

In comparison, my goal of "2 million yuan in sales revenue" in front of Zhou Guangzhao pales in comparison.

In fact, I have been looking forward to this ending. After all, the company has made money and achieved good status and achievements.

But when the ending came, I wasn't that excited. "

Cao Yang looked calm on the surface, but the knife in his hand paused inadvertently.

I thought to myself, I believe you, you are such a bad old man.

If you are not excited about making money, you already have some of my style.

"Do not believe?"

Mr. Liu burst into laughter, then took a sip of his wine and explained, "Because, I think there are more and more things [asking for help]." When things are not done, ask for help;

After things are done, you still need to ask for help.

I rarely complain. I always swallow all the unpleasant things by myself, and I can even tolerate them. But at the end of that year, even I couldn't help but complain.

The matter still starts from the relationship between enterprises and the government. I have predicted it long ago [Environmental barriers that enterprises must pass]

I believe that Mr. Cao must feel the same way.

After all, when we entrepreneurs want to do business, it's not all consumers who have the final say. We still have to look at God's face.

God says he won't let you do it, no matter how good you are, you can't do it.

God tells you to do it, but no matter what you do, you won't get any worse. "

Cao Yang looked at him silently without speaking.

He didn't nod or shake his head, which made Mr. Liu a little embarrassed.

I originally wanted to find some common ground with Mr. Cao, but it seemed like I couldn't find it.

He was also wondering in his heart, could it be that this young man Cao Yang never looked at the sky to make ends meet?

No reason?

God can't chase him and feed him, can he?

That is so unreasonable.

Yanagawa Zhi only thought that Cao Yang was a very scheming person and would not reveal his inner thoughts easily or talk about his past. He was careful to make the Wannian Ship, so he would not complain to God outside.

He can still understand this.

"The sales of Hanka are booming day by day, which has attracted the attention of the commodity bureau. There is a characteristic of our country's government. Everyone who runs a business knows that when your product is half dead or even dying, no one will care about you, but your If the product is so popular, it will be packed with customers every day.

On this day, a price official from the Commodity Bureau came to the company and declared that Hanka's prices were too high, making huge profits, and violating the country's price policy. He would be fined 1 million yuan on the spot.

This is no small sum.

You may not know what 1 million is. In 1987, 1 million was an astronomical figure. That year our income was less than 30 yuan per month.

Think about it, how scary 1 million can be.

The total remaining profits after our company paid taxes that year were only 700,000.

Where can I find this 1 million fine? "

Recalling this paragraph, Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but feel angry, "I thought to myself at the time, this Hanka is a product we developed ourselves. All the people in the company worked hard to make it what it is today. What reason do you have to say that our price is too high?

My subordinates were furious and gathered around me to demand a press conference for the media to comment.

These people were new to the business world and thought they could travel all over the world if they were right, but their voices calmed me down.

"What do you want to do?"

I angrily said, "If you still want to start this company, stop giving me such ideas."

why? Because I know the nature of the officers in front of me very well. Sometimes their face is more important than the merits of the matter itself. The key to many things is not between right and wrong. Only by surrendering first can you gain a turning point for yourself.

"You have to know who you are!" I said this sentence several times that day.

Rather than educating his subordinates, these words are more of a warning to himself.

Even now I still feel scared when I think about it. "

Yanagawa smiled and said to Cao Yang, "Really, I still feel a cold sweat on my back when I touch it."

Cao Yang smiled noncommittally.

I thought to myself, if you really have a sense of awe, how dare you turn Lenovo into your own private property?

Were you afraid back then?

He must be afraid, Cao Yang believed this.

Now, it's hard to say.

After all, Lao Liu now has money and a wide network of contacts. Countless entrepreneurs even call him Lao Liu and regard him as a leader in the business world. It is hard to say whether he will become drifting.

Just like what was played in the Kangxi Dynasty, Kangxi's grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, commented on Obai, saying that it was true that Obai was sincere when he entrusted his orphans. Now that his power has grown, it is also true that he rebelled.

This is a typical example of how the **** determines the head and the environment changes the person.

But on the other hand, it also depends on whether the person has the corresponding concentration.

When Cao Yang didn't make money, he still couldn't resist temptation and wanted money very much. Now that he has money, he feels popular and professional inside. It's hard to say why.

There is also a possibility that it is because he was beaten too many times by capitalists when he was a worker in his previous life, so now even if he becomes the richest man in the world, Cao Yang does not dare to forget this.

Anyway, he has lived for two lifetimes, and he only wants to be a prosperous and profitable capitalist who treats his employees well. This is Cao Yang's biggest pursuit now.

Yanagawa Shi continued to recall what happened that year, "I asked people everywhere to plead for mercy and went to visit the office of the director of the department. They said, "I don't have time." Then I asked about the director's home and went to visit in the evening.

It was a Sunday, and I climbed upstairs with a pretty-looking female employee named Wang Xiaoqin from the company. When I knocked on the door, "my heart was pounding."

The director's family was having dinner, and they obviously came at the wrong time. They walked in bravely, but they were speechless and stood aside with their hands hanging.

In this situation, it is better to be a woman. "

As if thinking of happy things, Mr. Liu's face was filled with a smile.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Cao Yang was already married, and considering that as the world's richest man, he usually had no shortage of women around him, Yanagawa Zhi would have planned to bring one or two beautiful little secretaries to accompany him today.

Cao Yang's character design is so good, even if you have some scandals, it's easy to get some.

However, from the channels he inquired about, they all said that Cao Yang was a man who loved his wife but was afraid of his wife.

Those who have no money can be impressed with money, those who like beautiful girls can be impressed with beautiful girls, and those who have no status can be impressed with status.

Now that the first two roads are directly blocked, Yanagawa Zhi doesn't know whether the last one can be effective.

These thoughts flashed in Mr. Liu's mind, and he continued, "Wang Xiaoqin nodded and smiled at the director, then stated softly, and was pulled out of the door by me before she finished speaking.

Wang Xiaoqin is beautiful and generous, but she is not very polite.

When I saw it, how could this work?

When you ask for help, don't you act like you're asking for help?

While others are having dinner, if you talk about the problem directly at home and ask others to help solve it, isn't this putting others at risk?

So I pulled her outside the door and criticized her.

I stood outside the door and kept teaching Wang Xiaoqin: You can't just be happy, you must also be measured. Don't join in when people bother you.

Later, the two of us came to the deputy director's home.

The deputy director was very kind, listened carefully to our statement, and finally accepted their invitation to have dinner.

The dinner was held at the Moscow Restaurant in the western suburbs of the capital. It served Western food.

Wang Xiaoqin got the courage from nowhere, and the first thing she asked during the dinner was: "Have you ever eaten Western food?"

The director's face changed, but he still maintained a bit of humor: "We are from an old-fashioned background, where have we seen this?"

I stayed aside, terrified: How could she say that?

Then Wang Xiaoqin continued: "I have never eaten before. In order to treat you to this meal, I learned from others. I know how to hold a knife...and hold a fork like this."

She gestured as she spoke. It turned out that she was afraid that the director had never eaten Western food, didn't know how to use tableware, and was unwilling to put down his arrogance and ask others, so she did this.

The outcome of this matter was a compromise. The price was still fined 400,000, but it was reduced a lot after all.

As for me, I have not completely achieved my goal, so I am still summarizing the lessons learned over the years.

It really scared me that day.

Your method is acceptable, but the first sentence is really not good and deserves consideration.

I said to Wang Xiaoqin, "You have to understand who you are." 】

Mr. Liu emphasized this sentence again.

It sounds a little strange to Cao Yang.

Mr. Liu smiled, raised his glass and touched it with Cao Yang, and concluded:

"The storm has just passed. Hanka seems to be able to run smoothly again and drive straight to the forefront of sales. I have completed another test with humiliation and humiliation.

However, whether it is Hanka's smooth flow or my ability to endure the humiliation, it is only a small step on the road to the future of the company. "

Cao Yang nodded silently. He actually admired Mr. Liu's storytelling ability and listened with interest.

It took him a long time before he suddenly regained his composure—

Oh, it turns out [steak] is here.

Mr. Liu's storytelling skills are really great.
