Chapter 55 Licking the dog? What is that?
There are not many computer shops in Box Hill. Only on a street behind Tianfu Restaurant is a time-honored computer shop that has been operating for many years.
Most of the machines sold here are assembled machines. After customers enter the store, they only need to check the required configuration according to the form provided at the front desk.
For Chen Xi, he naturally knows how to choose cost-effective accessories.
Considering the future game market, only a computer that can play League of Legends is enough. After all, few people will go to Internet cafes to experience those large stand-alone games.
"That's it, 1,500 Australian dollars each, 30 units." Chen Xi looked at the list in his hand and said.
“Well, we’ll add more machines when business is good.” Xiao Ming nodded.
“Wait until the decoration is completed and the business license is approved before buying.” Chen Xi added.
After understanding the price of the computer and determining the required configuration, he planned to start handling matters related to opening a store.
After all, it is only 2006, and many things are different from his previous entrepreneurship.
"Lao Zhang, come here, I want to have a good chat with you."
"Sweet or salty?"
"Salty."
Ask Regarding opening a store, I naturally went to Zhang Guoqiang, after all, he has opened a store here for more than ten years.
After some in-depth communication, Chen Xi finally understood it.
The process of company registration is roughly the same as in the previous life, and an application still needs to be submitted to the Australian Companies Registration Authority (ASIC).
After successful registration, you will receive a Company Number (ACN) and a Business Number (ABN).
The last step is to go to the Tax Office (ATO) for tax registration.
However, it is worth mentioning that it is now 2006, and the online application process is still very slow, and staff usually give priority to offline applications.
Therefore, this current situation has also spawned a group of intermediaries, which provide customers with a new business of quickly processing company registration applications.
Customers only need to pay a certain service fee, and intermediaries can use their special channels to quickly handle company registration for customers.
For fiber optics, it is natural to contact the operator. Currently, the two largest operators in Tu and Australia are Optus and Tpg.
Tpg will be far ahead of the former in the fiber optic business in the future, so he directly chose the most suitable one.
In the afternoon, he contacted an agency and paid a service fee of 200 yuan.
Since the Tu'ao semester is relatively short, only about three months, the semester exams are coming soon.
In this life, he still decided to work more on his studies, and he devoted most of his time to intense preparation for exams.
"You have worked hard during this period."
On this day, in the library, Shen Xinyi nodded appreciatively to Chen Xi who was studying diligently next to her.
"The exam is coming soon, so naturally I have to work hard."
Chen Xi held the book in his hand and answered casually. At this time, the exam was approaching and the library was crowded. Everyone was there. Find a quiet reading nook.
Here, it has become the best choice for many students, and it is also convenient for students to print documents.
"Beauty, why don't you praise us? We work very hard too." Xiao Ming said with a blush. He had not had much dealings with girls.
"Your roommate is just like you, both are so eloquent." Shen Xinyi glanced at Chen Xi.
Although Dongdong, Xiao Ming and Shen Xinyi didn't communicate much, they were both international students in China, and Shen Xinyi was a beautiful woman, so the two of them were naturally happy to chat with her.
"That's not true. They two can say it better than me, especially when they see beautiful women."
Chen Xi glanced at the two living treasures in front of him, and they were extremely excited when they saw the beauty.
"What did you eat to grow up, and how can you be so strong?"
Zhang Ruoxi stared at Dongdong in front of him in surprise. His figure was obviously very different from that of his peers.
With his muscular limbs and powerful posture, coupled with his pectoralis major muscles as strong as steel, he is just like a professional gym trainer.
“Eat more vegetarian food!”
What Dongdong said is true. His daily diet is indeed mainly vegetarian, but he still takes protein powder in private.
"Be a vegetarian? Can you gain so much meat even if you are a vegetarian?" Zhang Ruoxi stared at Dongdong's strong muscles with disbelief in her eyes.
"There is indeed some truth to what he said. Those cows and horses all feed on plants, so they have grown tendons."
Xiao Ming realized that he was being Ignoring it, he immediately explained to attract the attention of the two beauties. "If you can't speak, speak less. You are the best."
"Okay, you better go to the school gym to show off your muscles. This is the library."
"Haha, you guys are so interesting." Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help laughing when she saw the two of them starting to bicker.
"Chen Xi, what do you choose for this question?"
Shen Xinyi held the test paper in her hand, pointed at the question, and signaled to Chen Xi.
“You study better than me, and you still ask me?”
Chen Xi glanced at the question and thought it was not too difficult. He didn't understand why Shen Xinyi was confused about it.
"Neither can you?"
She noticed that Chen Xi was silent, so she blinked and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Choose C.”
“Why?”
"Because C has the longest answer."
"This is a foreign country, not a domestic test question."
Shen Xinyi seemed very dissatisfied with his explanation.
Having no choice but to explain this question in detail, Chen Xi could only explain it in detail.
“I really envy you, all the beauties are surrounding you.”
"Yes, I obviously have a better figure, but they really have no discernment."
"Isn't it said that men who exercise can only attract men?"
On the way back, Xiao Ming and Dongdong said sourly, the two of them still couldn't figure out why they couldn't attract the attention of the girls.
"What girl would like you guys looking like licking dogs?" Chen Xi curled his lips.
"Dog licking? What is that?" The two asked at the same time.
This hot word hadn't appeared at this time, so Chen Xi could only patiently explain it to them in another way.
"I understand, pretend to be cold, right?"
"This is okay, I'm the best at it."
"..."
For Chen Xi didn't know how to answer these two idiots, so he could only continue to concentrate on driving.
"The decoration company has been contacted. My uncle helped find it." After returning home, Xiao Ming looked at his phone and said.
"What about quality and price?" Chen Xi asked.
“The two of us went to have a look, and there is no problem with the decoration of normal Internet cafes.”
“As for the price, my uncle personally negotiated with their boss. Since they are old customers, Therefore, the price is much more favorable than other merchants. "
"Just install it, paint the walls and replace the carpet."
"Well, it's probably more than 10,000. The materials are not much, but the labor cost is more expensive."
What Xiao Ming said is true, the labor cost in Tu'ao is indeed high.
On a construction site, even for simple bricklaying work, you can earn thousands of Australian dollars a month.
Not only that, their working environment is also quite leisurely, and you can enjoy coffee and music during work breaks.
There is no need to work on weekends, and there are fixed holidays every year.
"Just go to IKEA to buy a computer desk. It's economical and affordable, although the quality is not that good."
"I have contacted you about fiber optics. The price is a bit high because the fiber optics used in Tu'ao are relatively high. "No, we still need to wire it up."
"Yes."
The three of them discussed it, and Chen Xi felt that it was time to talk to Wang Li and the others.
