Chapter 516 Just Treat Me as a Messenger
Wine has a history of thousands of years among flower growers, and along with it comes a wine culture with mixed reviews.
Some people say that the wine culture in the Mainland is the only ancient heritage that will never be lost without the need for deliberate protection.
It's just that some people like to recite poems after drinking wine, and create the famous poem "Singing to Wine, What's the Shape of Life"? Some people like to speak arrogant words and talk nonsense after drinking wine.
"It's our first time to cooperate. You don't know much about our strength and are not sure about it. This is all excusable.
But I believe that after half a year, we will have a new basis for cooperation. To be honest, the program-controlled switch is really a big deal for us.
We are actually more optimistic about the personal computer market. As long as there are sufficient funds, we can develop a world-class personal computer in up to two years."
"Whether it is program-controlled switches or computers, the main markets in the mainland are enterprises and institutions, so we have an absolute advantage in sales."
Liu Lenovo has a good drinking capacity. After drinking three and a half glasses, he can still maintain a tight logic in his speech and continue to show off his consignment strength.
He does have this strength. Even without Li Ye's early intervention, he would have won a large number of orders from mainland enterprises and institutions by virtue of his strong organizational background, and made a lot of money from the sales process alone.
But Li Ye couldn't listen anymore, because he knew how far the mainland was from the world in terms of computers. It was definitely impossible to reach the world's top level in two years.
Instead of listening to his big talk here, it is better to do things step by step.
"I'm going out to get some fresh air."
Li Ye whispered to Luo Runbo, then left the wine table and went to the corridor outside.
Luo Runbo nodded, and after Li Ye went out, he opened his mouth again and directed Liu Lenovo's conversation elsewhere.
When Liu Lenovo proposed selling as an agent this morning, the boss didn't agree with it very much. Now he suddenly went out for some fresh air, so he had better not make any mistakes.
Technology and sales are the lifeblood of an enterprise. If they are captured by others, wouldn't it be like spending money to make someone else's wedding dress?
Li Ye stayed in the corridor for a while and saw Dashen Ni coming out.
He made eye contact with Li Ye, smiled, and then went to the toilet.
After coming out of the toilet, Dashen Ni did not immediately return to the wine table. Instead, he walked to the other end of the corridor, took out the cigarette case, and took one for himself.
Mainlanders like to get together when smoking, but people who have spent time overseas may habitually stay away so as not to disturb others.
But when Master Ni wanted to light a cigarette, he found that there was no fire on him.
Master Ni looked around and saw that Li Ye was the only one in the corridor, so he asked with a smile: "Classmate Li Ye, is there a fire?"
"Oh, yes."
Li Ye subconsciously reached into his pocket, but when Master Ni came over, he dug left and right, but did not take out the fire.
Two years ago, Li Ye never left his side with fireworks, but since he got along closely with Wen Leyu, he smoked less and less.
It's not that Wen Leyu hates him smoking. These days, there are not many women who dislike men smoking.
It's just that when Li Ye smokes, Wen Leyu next to him will take a small breath. She will wash the clothes Li Ye wears after smoking on the same day if they are not dirty, so Li Ye hasn't smoked for a long time.
Li Ye smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Ni. I smoke less after I have a girlfriend, so I don't have the fire."
"Pfft~"
I don’t know whether it was because Li Ye’s expression changes were very comedic, or because Ni Dashen’s laughter point was too low. Anyway, Li Ye’s words made Dashen Ni laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, little brother, you are so funny, but your girlfriend has a bad temper, and she still doesn't let you smoke?"
"No more," Li Ye said with a smile: "When you are with someone, you must feel comfortable with each other in order to stay together for a long time. If you insist on doing something even though you know she doesn't like something, isn't that a score sooner or later?"
"Um?"
Dashen Ni glanced at Li Ye unexpectedly, nodded and said, "Little brother, what you said makes sense."
Master Ni put away his cigarette case and stood in the corridor to get some fresh air. It seemed that he had no intention of returning to the wine table for a while.
Li Ye asked: "Teacher Ni, won't you go in?"
Master Ni smiled and asked, "Then why don't you go in?"
Li Ye said cheerfully: "I don't want to listen to people bragging, so I came out for a while."
"."
Master Ni looked at Li Ye and was very surprised. At the wine table just now, he thought Li Ye was a very reserved person! Why has it become so "direct" now?
Li Ye turned to look at Master Ni and asked directly: "What? Teacher Ni, do you think you can develop a world-class personal computer within two years?"
Master Ni shook his head and said calmly: "I never said that. Computers are composed of many parts and there are too many units that need to be coordinated, so no one can be sure whether we can create another miracle."
After all, Li Ye is the accompanying translator for the Hong Kong side, and Liu Lenovo is still boasting inside at this moment! How could Dashen Ni cause trouble on his own?
Therefore, what Master Ni said is absolutely watertight.
I don’t think the Institute of Computer Science can develop a world-class computer within two years, but I don’t deny that we have the ability to create miracles again.
If you can give us a sky-high price, we may not be able to give it a try, but no one can afford this sky-high price.
However, what Li Ye said next made Master Ni understand that people are not that easy to fool.
"What if we only develop a part of the entire computer?" Li Ye asked: "For example, the power supply, hard disk, memory, or South Bridge, North Bridge, or even the central processor, how confident is Mr. Ni? "
Dashen Ni asked Li Ye in surprise: "Don't you study economics? Do you know these things?"
In a few decades, computers will no longer be such a rarity. Individuals can buy a bunch of accessories online and build a host computer by themselves.
But in 1985, computer rooms were all carpeted. Just think about what a mysterious thing computers are! Ordinary people have no idea what's inside a computer case.
Li Ye smiled and said: "I am relatively familiar with Mr. Pei, so I often ask him to buy some fresh magazines from Hong Kong Island, so I learned more about it."
"Oh~"
Master Ni nodded silently, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "I can't answer you now, but the technical threshold for some computer components is indeed not that high. If Mr. Pei is interested, we can talk about it in the future."
Yes, Master Ni regards Li Ye as the "messenger".
That's fine, just think of me as the messenger, otherwise we wouldn't have had the chance to get acquainted!
Let's get to know each other first, then we can have some "intimate words" later, right?
"Mr. Pei mentioned to me last time that he does not understand the specific strength of the mainland's semiconductor industry, but now that the overseas division of labor and cooperation model has become very popular, the mainland may not be unable to get a share of the pie."
"Yes, I think so too."
As Lenovo grew up, it had two major businesses, one of which was assembling computers. Li Ye was also interested in the computer assembly piece, but he had the idea of "gradual replacement".
And Master Ni seems to have the same idea.
Once two men have a common topic, they can quickly chat together. As Ni Dashen chatted with Li Ye, he suddenly felt that it was much more interesting than going out to drink.
"I remember, little brother, you are from Dongshan, right? How old are you this year?"
"I'm from Dongshan and I'm a junior this year."
"Oh~, Dongshan is a good place,"
Master Ni nodded and said, "What are your plans when you graduate next year? Stay in the capital? Return to your hometown? Or study abroad?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "I may stay in the capital! My girlfriend is from the capital, and we have made an appointment to be together."
"Hahaha, it's not easy to stay in the capital," Master Ni shook his head and laughed, and then said: "But since you are very familiar with the rich man from Hong Kong Island, if you can't stay in the capital, it is a good choice to go out and have a look.
I have seen some work-study students overseas. After surviving the first year, the rest is not difficult. Now that the mainland is in an era of change, there is still a promising future after returning from studies. "
"Go out and take a look?"
Li Ye smiled slightly and asked: "Teacher Ni, you have spent time overseas, so what do you think you can gain after going abroad?"
Master Ni was stunned for a moment, very surprised by Li Ye's reaction.
All the young students he came into contact with after returning to China were very eager to go out and have a look. Even if they couldn't get the opportunity to study abroad, they would try their best to go out.
But Li Ye doesn't seem to be interested in going abroad at all. Is it because he is deeply in love with his girlfriend?
"The biggest gain is that I have broadened my horizons and gained an objective understanding of the world,"
Dashen Ni thought for a while and said: "I have been overseas for several years and have deeply felt the gap between us in science and technology, and I have also seen some efficient methods in business operations."
"Overseas technology-based companies attach great importance to technology research and development. In this regard, Mr. Pei's Seris Company is somewhat similar."
"But at the same time, I also realize our advantages. As long as we make some changes, catching up with developed countries is not impossible, but very possible."
"Change?"
Li Ye smiled and whispered: "Teacher Ni, are the changes you are talking about changing the corporate bureaucracy in the mainland?"
"."
Master Ni was stunned for a long time, then he smiled and waved his hand and said: "Little brother, please don't talk nonsense, I don't have that much ability."
[Okay, it’s my fault. 】
Li Ye smiled and said nothing.
Of course he knew what changes Dashen Ni was talking about. From the establishment of a project to the realization, he didn't know how many meetings and processes were required.
After finally finishing the trip, something unexpected happened, it was better to buy than to build, and the project was cancelled.
The situation hits technicians especially hard.
So there needs to be change, and there needs to be more people who want to change that.
Dashen Ni suggested that Li Ye go out and have a look, maybe because he hoped that Li Ye would become a person like him when he came back!
However, at the end of the chat between the two, Dashen Ni suddenly said: "Actually, I have seen it clearly over the years overseas. This kind of style can be found everywhere, and some places overseas are not bad at all."
"Since it's everywhere, why don't I go back to our land and fight?"
"."
Li Ye couldn't help but give a thumbs up in front of Dashen Ni.
Dashen Ni is no longer a hot-headed young man in his twenties. As a middle-aged man who has already obtained a high-paying position overseas, he still resolutely returns to the mainland. For this reason alone, he should be admired.
