Chapter 764 Drawing the Bow
The most profitable business of Lingyun Technology now is the chain copy shop business. Now I dare not say that in the streets, at least now, Lingyun chain copy stores have appeared in medium and large cities in the country.
Having opened so many stores, Wang Jizhi certainly knows what is the most important thing when opening a chain store, and that is of course replicability. That is, after a store is opened, it can be copied quickly with the same staffing and equipment configuration. There are a lot of the same stores.
This is easy to manage in the later stage and is also the most cost-effective. For Internet cafes, with this Internet cafe management system, they can continue to copy.
An Internet cafe is equipped with a cashier to turn it on, a maintenance person, a person responsible for on-site order, and cleaning, plus people working shifts, and the entire stall running the Internet cafe can be set up.
"Power on!"
Guo Jingyun shouted to the technician, and then the machines in the entire Internet cafe were turned on one by one.
Guo Jingyun tried several machines, which were pre-installed with office and game software such as Kingsoft WPS, Tianya Forum, Himalayan Radio, Swordsman Romance, and Red Alert to ensure that people with different needs would have usable software when they came to the Internet cafe.
After all, Lingyun Internet Cafe Chain is Dongling Hi-Tech's own property, and the pre-installed software on it will definitely tend to be software owned by Tanglin Hi-Tech.
But Internet cafes, if nothing else, are still focused on games. Whether it is now or in the future, most people who come online come to relax with casual games. It is not ruled out that they watch news broadcasts and write papers in Internet cafes. Yes, but after all...it's rare.
"Mr. Wang"
Guo Jingyun's tone was much more formal. Wang Ji was clear and he started talking about business.
"The Internet cafe machines have been installed and debugged. I will leave two technicians here to handle the handover with you. The subsequent management will be handed over to Lingyun Technology!"
Now that the situation is urgent, Tianya Company has dispatched manpower to help build the Internet cafe. Subsequent construction of the Internet cafe, assembly of machines, installation of the Internet cafe management system, etc. will definitely need to be done by Lingyun Technology itself.
Otherwise, Tianya Company's limited manpower would be too exhausted to help Lingyun Technology build so many chain Internet cafes.
"Manager Guo, please rest assured!"
Wang Jizhi also said seriously, "Lingyun Technology has reached an agreement with Hanxi IT Training Center. Hanxi IT Training Center will support some manpower to help Lingyun Technology open a chain of Internet cafes."
For Internet cafes, the most important person is undoubtedly maintenance. If there is a problem with the machine on weekdays, this kind of technical work requires maintenance.
In most small Internet cafes in the previous life, if there was a computer problem, the boss would either fix it himself or hire someone to fix it.
But for large-scale Internet cafe chains, if they do it this way, there will simply be not enough manpower. But these days, there are only a few people who can repair computers. Other companies may find it difficult to solve this problem.
But for Lingyun Technology, it's not that troublesome. If you are in trouble, then... move reinforcements to the headquarters.
Don’t forget, there is the Hanxi IT Training Center, the earliest and largest in the country, at the headquarters, which recruits many people to learn programming and repair computers. Lingyun Technology can recruit people directly from there.
……
“Lianxiang’s new machine, just six days after its launch, has achieved a new sales record of 20,000 units!”
"Great Wall Computer, Inspur and other computers have set new records of sales exceeding 10,000 in a single week!"
Even thinking about the headquarters, Boss Liu flipped through the newspaper in his hand with a slightly satisfied look on his face.
The invisible war of encirclement and suppression launched by Lian Xiang has been quite effective so far. Even before the launch of Shenzhou Computer, a wave of price cuts has already started in China.
The sales of major computer manufacturers have now reached record highs. This wave has allowed a considerable number of users to spend money to buy computers. After the Shenzhou Computer is released, how many people will buy Shenzhou machines?
This move may not completely cut off Shenzhou's sales, but it will definitely affect the other party's sales to a large extent. Boss Liu is sure of this.
Looking at the Industrial and Commercial Times in his hand, Boss Liu accidentally saw a piece of news in the news at the back of the newspaper.
"The first chain Internet cafe in Yanjing City, Lingyun Chain Internet Cafe, officially opened today. Lingyun Chain Internet Cafe has obtained the first temporary Internet cafe license issued by the Yanjing Cultural Department!
Lingyun Chain Internet Cafe is an Internet cafe that has been approved by Yanjing's industrial and commercial, fire protection, health and other departments. The general manager of Lingyun Technology declared that Internet cafes will be one of the important ways for domestic users to access computers in the future..."
"Crack!"
Halfway through reading it, Boss Liu casually threw the newspaper aside. Whether it was an Internet cafe or an Internet cafe, this kind of thing had appeared a year or two ago.
Including Yinghaiwei, they also built an Internet cafe, but it was mainly used for science popularization or publicity. There were also Internet cafe-style stores in Shanghai, but the Internet fee was 40 yuan an hour, so I was immediately discouraged from wanting to do so. Young people who go in and try new things.
So when he saw the Laoshizi Internet Cafe in the newspaper, Boss Liu didn't care at all. Although he felt that the Lingyun Technology brand seemed familiar, he didn't take it too seriously. How could a broken Internet cafe turn the world upside down?
"Tomorrow, Shenzhou Computer will be officially released. You must keep an eye on it. In addition, after Shenzhou Computer is released, you must get the machine for disassembly as soon as possible!" Boss Liu explained to Lianxiang's senior executives, Although he felt that Lian Xiang had the upper hand now, he still did not dare to take Shenzhou lightly.
Amid the commotion, one week after the press conference, Shenzhou Computer went on sale. Each machine was delivered to various sales channels and agents, and then appeared in various stores.
However, because Lianxiang waited for the machine, it had already taken the lead in reducing prices. In addition, large household appliances such as computers cannot be purchased at random prices. Moreover, Shenzhou Computer is a new brand after all, and it will take time for users to accept it.
Therefore, after Shenzhou Computer went on sale, there was no rush on the market like the previous new products of Donglin Hi-Tech.
When seeing this scene, Lian Xiang and other major computer manufacturers finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they can suppress Shenzhou Computer at the beginning, it will probably be difficult to turn around later!
In Qi Jie's computer store, there were two Shenzhou computers at the moment. Advertisements promoting Shenzhou computers were also playing on the speakers at the door. There were people coming in to look at the computers, but no one seemed to be buying them.
"Can this machine get cheaper?"
Another man came in. He seemed to be choosing a computer for his children at home. He looked at the silver-white Shenzhou home computer for a while, and finally asked Qi Jie.
"This price is the manufacturer's price, which is unified across the country. I really can't change the price here. I really didn't charge you a penny more!"
Qi Jie said to the man, "The configuration of Shenzhou Computer is top-notch. The computer screen is the only STN LCD screen in China. The mouse and keyboard are Silver Sable optical mice, both of which are big brands..."< br>
"The big brand Lianxiang Computer next door only sells it for 7,899. I've never heard of Shenzhou Computer. Why does it sell for 8,000?!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The man shook his head and said that he was quite satisfied with the appearance of the Shenzhou computer. As a man, he felt that the design was beautiful. If he bought it home, his daughter would definitely like it.
"I heard that this computer chip is made in China?"
The man asked again, and without waiting for Qi Jie's answer, he said directly, "Are domestic chips reliable? I heard that domestic chips will break down soon, and the machine will be useless by then!"
"Shenzhou computers come with a two-year warranty and are free of maintenance for half a year. This is the only domestic computer brand that dares to make a warranty promise!"
"You can try the computer first..."
Qi Jie continued to persuade the man, but at this time, the man had already turned around and left.
Qi Jie could only sigh helplessly. This is not the first time that this situation has occurred today. Many people who know little about computers still have doubts after hearing about domestic chips, domestic motherboards, and domestic memory sticks, even if they bear the Shenzhou brand. Many people have doubts.
Looking at the two Shenzhou machines, Qi Jie also looked a little sad. He didn't know when these two machines would be sold.
……
"Is Shenzhou Computer going to face a disaster this time? I passed by a computer store and when I saw Shenzhou Computer, not many people looked at the machine!"
In the technology section of the Tianya Forum, a post about Shenzhou Computer appeared again today. As soon as this post appeared, it immediately attracted many new posts.
“The store where I store Shenzhou computers seems to be deserted!”
Many posts have appeared, showing that Shenzhou Computer went on sale today and its performance did not seem to be very good.
But after these posts, a new one popped up.
"Shenzhou Computer has just been installed at my home. It was delivered by Oriental Express and installed by Shenzhou Computer after-sales staff. I just tried it for ten minutes. To be honest, the smoothness is a bit beyond my expectation. I won't say anymore, I will continue to play Swordsman Romance!"< br>
After this post appeared, it attracted a lot of inquiries. Some asked about the experience of using Shenzhou Computer, and some asked what kind of game Swordsman Love is.
But the account owner of this post seemed to have gone to play games and never responded to the post.
"A new Internet cafe has opened in Haidian, Yanjing. I heard that it is equipped with Shenzhou computers. Have you tried it in there?"
As soon as this post came out, many Tianya users in Yanjing began to discuss it.
As a senior member of the Tianya Forum, Yuan Quan, who works at a Sinochem research institute, also saw this post.
Yuan Quan's research institute happened to be in Yanjing. He was living in a house assigned by his work unit, and there was no computer installed in it. After seeing the post on Tianya.com, Yuan Quan thought about stopping by to see what this Internet cafe was like. , and he also happened to have the idea of buying a computer.
