Chapter 1121: Human Heart
As time went by, more and more people came to the exhibition hall. Many people came to Li Yi to check out the laptop. Because this thing was not common in the market, more people were still very curious. Li Yi also patiently explained to them the purpose and advantages of this computer. However, the big companies on the list were still not seen on the scene. Occasionally, a few companies purchased it, but they all went to IBM. Google search reading
Shi He's face has always been solemn. Li Yi's words just now made him alert. He is not a young man who has just come out to struggle in society. Now he has a lot of experience. The older people are, the more things they have seen, and the more vigilant they are about this world. With Shi He's help, Li Yi certainly doesn't need to be so nervous.
Thinking carefully, when they went to the warehouse to help the middle-aged uncle lift the computer yesterday, there was indeed no one left next to the booth. Although there are surveillance cameras in this era, not every place can afford to install them. This is a bit of negligence.
If it is a coincidence, it is not impossible, but this incident inexplicably gave Li Yi a very strange feeling.
I would rather believe that someone was playing tricks, so Li Yi made preparations early.
It was noon soon. IBM had a good harvest. The entire electronics expo was very successful. Many people successfully exchanged their things for a large order. Only Li Yi's sales of this laptop were too bleak. So far, only about 50 units have been sold.
There were many booth managers around, and they looked at him with mockery or gloating eyes.
Shi He didn't care. He was still operating the computer in front of him. Anyway, he had let it go now. Li Yi said there was a way, so he didn't have to worry. If you compare Li Yi with the boss Wang Fucheng, although Wang Fucheng paid him a lot, that guy was really disappointing. Li Yi was different. He never painted cakes for people around him, and never mentioned that everyone worked hard now, and we would be able to get to what level in the future, and everyone would be relaxed at that time.
More often, Li Yi likes to explain everything with practical actions.
The two were just about to pack up and go out for a bowl of noodles, when suddenly there was a commotion in the lobby.
"Hey, did you see that?
General Manager Tianjiang's car just entered the yard!"
"General Manager Tianjiang?
Why are people from Tianjiang here?
I didn't receive any notice before?"
"Hurry up, this is an opportunity! They are people from Tianjiang!"
Tianjiang?
Li Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. People from Tianjiang are here?
This was beyond his expectations. Tianjiang, whose full name is Tianjiang International, is a well-known international company that spans many industries. It also has a considerable position abroad. The industries involved are probably food, catering, electronic products, hotels, tourism, etc., etc. The chairman of Tianjiang seems to be one of the richest people in Asia this year!
The chairman of Tianjiang is a real legend. He started doing business halfway through his career. He accidentally made a name for himself in Gyeonggi Province. The most famous thing is that he directly acquired several famous hotels and threw out several hundred million.
With such a legendary figure these days, many newcomers who have just emerged in Gyeonggi have a goal to pursue, but so far, they have not had any particularly strong competitors.
To put it bluntly, Tianjiang International is the real ceiling of Gyeonggi's business community.
The general manager of Tianjiang is also a person of high status in Tianjiang. I don't know why even the general manager came to Zhongcheng Science and Technology Park this time. It stands to reason that there is no need for him to come in person.
But it is precisely because of this that Li Yi smelled a hint of opportunity!
If this time is grasped well, perhaps the sales of more than 200 units may not be a dream!
...
A group of people in suits came from the door of the lobby. They were not pursuing a card. To be honest, they didn't need it at this level. The people who came this time were all headed by the general manager of Tianjiang International, and some of the heads of the subsidiaries below. They just happened to catch up with them purchasing here, so when they heard about the expo, the general manager of Tianjiang International became interested and wanted to come and see, so there was such a scene. Li Yi was also very surprised. He didn't expect such a big man to come before.
But the most interesting thing is that the relationship between Tianjiang International and IBM is not that good!
This is the point...
Li Yi smiled and said to Shi He: "Maybe we can see a good show today..."
Shi He also nodded and said: "You mean the conflict between Tianjiang International and IBM?
Tsk tsk, the IBM people probably never thought that Tianjiang would come to the scene..."
The whole capital knows that Tianjiang International had a lawsuit with IBM before. IBM's products had a very fatal problem, and Tianjiang International was the first to bear the brunt and suffered a lot of losses. Later, it asked for repairs, but IBM dragged its feet. The headquarters obviously looked down on Tianjiang International. In the eyes of the people at the IBM headquarters, it was Tianjiang's own fault. How could their IBM computers go wrong?
Therefore, it was difficult for the two parties to get along with each other. When the chairman of Tianjiang International heard about this, he directly sued IBM.
After careful study and inspection by technicians, it was discovered that the problem did occur with IBM. There was a problem with the integrated circuits inside their batch of computers. It was not due to improper operation by Tianjiang International employees. Now IBM and Tianjiang seems to have a grudge against each other.
But after all, Tianjiang International is in charge. Although IBM later launched epoch-making products, Tianjiang still uses other brands of computers and has never talked to IBM again. I even heard that Tianjiang International’s The chairman is ambitious and is already preparing to develop Longguoren's own computer.
Of course Li Yi knew something about this, but he couldn't figure out what it meant for a group of them to come to the expo today. Could it be that they were here to embarrass IBM?
It's not that it's impossible, but I don't know what kind of person this general manager is. If someone with a tough enough personality comes, IBM may not be able to step down today.
Just when Li Yi was frowning and thinking, Shi He patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said: "This general manager is not a good person. It is said that the chairman hired him from a competitor's company. Given his age, he should He is around thirty-seven or eighteen years old. I heard that he has a good relationship with the chairman, but the most important thing is his ability. He graduated from a business school with a bachelor's degree, but he doesn't look like a businessman at all, and he still gets along well with young people. The little gangster had a fight! This guy is not that easy to mess with!"
Li Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said in a low voice: "It seems that we have a good show today! Maybe this general manager is here for IBM..."
Shi He rubbed his chin and said: "It's not impossible, but I'm still curious about a question. Is it really a coincidence that this guy put up such a formation before he came?
No personal grudges?
You see, all the people in charge of Tianjiang International's subsidiaries are here this time. Most of them are here to buy electronic equipment such as computer printers, right? "
In the final analysis, it still depends on what the general manager wants to do. Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with us, just watch it carefully!"
Compared with Li Yi's relaxation, the person in charge of the IBM booth opposite and the foreigners looked obviously a little ugly. They also did not expect that they would meet people from Tianjiang International here. .
IBM's company portfolio is not small, but after all, it is a foreign company. When it comes to status and strength, here in Gyeonggi, although Tianjiang International is not so public, who doesn't know their strength?
The general manager, who was in his thirties but not forty years old, was smiling and observing something at each booth. He also chatted with the people around him from time to time. He seemed quite friendly.
But after hearing Shi He's brief introduction, Li Yi certainly wouldn't naively think that this guy has the same personality as he appears on the surface. Such a person who seems to be easy to talk to will really be very difficult to talk to once he becomes difficult to talk to. …
Seeing that, the general manager came over immediately. Li Yi saw the IBM people started to pack their things. Did he want to run away?
It was interesting, Li Yi said loudly: "Hey, this machine from IBM is good, what's wrong?
What are you panicking about?
Where to go? "
