Chapter 768 The sky is falling
"That's nonsense!"
"How can the media report unverified news? Isn't this misleading the public?!"
Putting down the newspaper, Boss Liu forced himself to calm down, and then slammed the table angrily, causing even the senior executives present to remain silent.
But Guo Wei, Yang Yuanqing, Liu Jun and others who are familiar with Boss Liu can all see that Boss Liu is a bit panicked at this moment.
Guo Wei and others also took the newspaper and read it. Like Boss Liu, their faces were very solemn.
"This Lingyun Technology, if I remember correctly, should be Dongling High-tech, a company established by supporting Wang Jizhi, the former chief engineer from Sitong!"
"We have to make changes. Once this news spreads, I'm afraid even the sales of Xiangxiang machines will be affected!"
Guo Wei was the first to speak. Don't think about it. Once Internet cafes become popular, the major Internet cafes will probably purchase Shenzhou computers, and they can only be Shenzhou computers.
After all, Internet cafes are opened for the purpose of making money, not for worldliness. In the current domestic computer industry, only Shenzhou Computer has been optimized for mainstream games. If those Internet cafes do not purchase from Shenzhou, where else can they purchase? !
Once Shenzhou Computer becomes popular on a large scale and more users are exposed to Shenzhou Computer, then by comparison, we can know the performance of Shenzhou Computer. After all, this thing cannot be hidden at all.
At that time, even the idea of suppressing Shenzhou Computer by domestic computer brands such as Great Wall and Inspur was defeated.
Guo Wei and others did not expect that Shenzhou Computer would take a different approach and use a chain of Internet cafes to break the situation. This made even their previous methods useless.
Even if there is a price war now, it is completely useless. Those owners of Internet cafes will not purchase machines like these that cannot play games!
“Let’s reduce the price some more!”
Boss Liu said calmly, "Lianxiang's computers, regardless of high-end, high-end or low-end, have begun to cut prices.
Inventory needs to be controlled and not to accumulate too many computers. In addition, contact Intel. Lian Xiang needs Intel's second-generation Pentium chips to develop new computers! ”
Boss Liu is very decisive in his work and has begun to prepare a way out for Lian Xiang. Once the current models cannot beat the Shenzhou, he will be ready to clear out his inventory, and then turn to Intel for help to work hard on a new generation of computers!
……
When the article written by Feng Miaoyu in the Yanjing Business Daily was published, it caused an uproar in an instant, and then spread at an alarming speed.
Now is the era when thousands of troops are deployed to the sea. As long as they can find a way to make money, no matter whether it is a wild way or not, there are people who are willing to do it.
And now what everyone sees is that if you invest hundreds of thousands in a Laoshizi Internet cafe, you can get your money back in more than a month. Isn't this a profitable business? !
The Yanjing Business Daily report was reprinted by many media, including Tianya Forum, Yinghaiwei's website, Bihaiyinsha chat room, and BBS sites, where many voices discussed the matter.
On the Tianya Forum, Zhang Zhe used the account ID of "Professional Traitor for Thirty Years" to scold Fang Qiu in the forum.
The last time, he also questioned Li Dongling's speech in the forum. In the speech at that time, someone asked Li Dongling how to get rich. Li Dongling said three strategies in a joking tone, which were to buy big cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai. house, stock up on Moutai liquor, and wait for Moutai to go public, then stock up on Moutai stocks.
But Zhang Zhe completely denied the suggestions made by Li Dongling. He had only one point of view, "Everyone knows about the opportunity to make a fortune, is it still an opportunity?!"
Zhang Zhe is even ready to practice what he says. He will definitely not buy a house in Yanjing, even to death. If he makes money in the future, he can go back to his hometown and build a small two-story house. Isn't it delicious?
Now, Zhang Zhe has once again transformed into a master of justice, angrily complaining about the rumors that opening an Internet cafe can make money.
"Today, surfing the Internet costs more than ten yuan an hour. How many people have enough money to go to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet every day?!"
"There are only a few games on computers now. Who will play them when they get tired of them?"
"When there are more people opening Internet cafes and there are fewer people using the Internet cafes, how can we make money?"
"The relationship between Lingyun Internet Cafe chain and Shenzhou Computer's parent company Dongling Hi-Tech is also unclear. Who knows if this is a trap set up by both parties to clean up Shenzhou Computer's inventory!
Don't forget, Li Dongling asked everyone to buy a house in Yanjing before. Is he really doing it for everyone? ! ”
Seeing Zhang Zhe's questions, some friends on the forum who were still ready to make a move began to become suspicious.
What if this is indeed a game as Zhang Zhe said? If tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands are lost, what can be done if it is wasted? !
Jin Shiliang, who was also posting at the Temple of Heaven forum and worked for a company in Yanjing, suppressed the idea of opening an Internet cafe after seeing Zhang Zhe's post.
Over the years, Jin Shiliang has saved a lot of money, which is not much, about tens of thousands of yuan. He can buy four or five Shenzhou computers, rent a small store, and set up an Internet cafe. I saw a report in the Yanjing Business Daily before that Jin Shiliang wanted to give it a try, thinking that if he made a profit, he would be able to become a boss.
Even the location of the Internet cafe store has been chosen by Jin Shiliang. It is a storefront building on his way to work. There are office workers nearby, as well as two vocational schools and several middle schools. There is no shortage of young people.
Originally, after get off work today, Jin Shiliang was ready to pay a deposit, buy the store, and then go to the Computer City to buy Shenzhou computers. But when he saw the post "Professional Tragedy for Thirty Years", Jin Shiliang decided to go to the computer store again. Wait and see.
What if this is really a scam directed and staged by Lingyun Internet Cafe Chain and Dongling Hi-tech? Then all the hard-earned money he saved will be lost.
……
As for what other parties thought after seeing the report in Yanjing Business Daily, Lingyun Internet Cafe chain has no control over it. Lingyun Internet Cafe did not say that it would let people open Internet cafes. Anyway, it is constantly opening new Internet cafes in Yanjing.
"Mr. Li, by next week, we are planning to open 20 more Internet cafes in Yanjing. These Internet cafes will be medium and large-sized Internet cafes with more than 100 to 200 machines. They will also be equipped with drinks and snacks. , catering and other services.
When the Lingyun chain of Internet cafes basically covers all major urban areas in Yanjing, it will then begin to enter markets outside Yanjing! ”
Li Dongling also received a call from Wang Jizhi, reporting to him on the status of Lingyun Internet Cafe chain.
On the phone, Li Dongling could hear Wang Jizhi's slightly excited voice.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If Lingyun Technology opened its first Internet cafe, Wang Jizhi was a little worried because it was something Li Dongling had told him to do. He didn't know whether this new business would make money or lose money.
After the first Lingyun chain Internet cafe opened, Lingyun technology executives were shocked by the daily increase in turnover and the ultra-high profit margin that overwhelmed Lingyun chain copy stores.
When it became profitable, Lingyun Technology started to expand the scale of chain Internet cafe stores like crazy without any urging from Dongling Hi-tech.
When Li Dongling heard Wang Jizhi's words, he chuckled. Lingyun was also planning to use dozens of Internet cafes to occupy the Yanjing market.
You must know that in the past life, by 1999, there were more than a thousand Internet cafes of various sizes in Yanjing, and the total number of Internet cafe machines exceeded hundreds of thousands!
Just three years later, the number of Internet cafes in Yanjing exceeded 3,000. As a result, the management of these Internet cafes was uneven, and various illegal Internet cafes with poor conditions were rampant, resulting in constant accidents in Internet cafes of all sizes, and finally Yanjing was Internet cafes suffered a major overhaul, and a large number of black Internet cafes collapsed.
The batch of 50,000 machines currently ordered by Lingyun Chain Technology, to be honest, even if they were all put into the Yanjing market, they would probably not be able to fill the Yanjing Internet cafe market!
"Old Wang, the expansion of Internet cafes is one thing. On the other hand, Internet cafe management and security measures must also keep up. No accidents must happen." Li Dongling explained to Wang Jizhi.
As soon as he finished talking to Wang Jizhi, Zhang Ao entered Li Dongling's office and handed a document to Li Dongling, "Shenzhou Computer's order volume today has exceeded 10,000 machines!"
When Li Dongling heard this data, he was stunned for a moment. He knew that after the news about the Internet cafe spread, it would stimulate the sales of Shenzhou computers, but he did not expect that the effect would be so fast.
"A large part of these orders came from Dongling Hi-tech's previous product agents. Chen Zuhan from Yangcheng ordered a thousand machines in one go and established Hanhai Internet Cafe!"
Hearing Zhang Ao's words, Li Dongling understood what was going on. Others were still hesitant about the news about chain Internet cafes, but the agents of Dongling Hi-Tech did not hesitate. They directly purchased Shenzhou Computer and started to enter the Internet cafes. Get ready to make some money!
"Shenzhou Computer has received over 10,000 new orders in a single day. So far, the sales volume of Shenzhou Computer in the first month has exceeded 70,000 units, and this month it may hit 100,000 units in sales!"
The sudden report by Science and Technology Daily caused an uproar throughout the country. With the weight of Science and Technology Daily, no one can doubt the authenticity of this report.
But this sales volume is really scary. Even if a large part of these orders come from opening Internet cafes, it is really scary.
What is the concept if the sales volume of Shenzhou computers exceeds 100,000 orders a month? It is equivalent to one month, completing 36% of the sales volume of Dalian, the leader in domestic computer shipments last year!
But while the outside world was still discussing whether Shenzhou Computer could get an order for 100,000 machines in a single month, the next day, the Post and Telegraph also broke the news, "Shenzhou Computer received an order for another 17,000 machines in a single day!" ”
As for Shenzhou Computer, the reason why the order volume has soared is inseparable from the reports of Yangcheng Evening News, Chutian Weekend, Yangtze Evening News, Rongcheng Commercial News and other media. The Internet cafes established in these places, especially some Caotai Group Internet cafes, only have three or five machines. , it has been fully booked since its opening. Even with an internet fee of more than ten yuan, it is hard to find a machine!
When these media reported the news that Internet cafes were making huge profits, even more people were stimulated to enter the Internet cafe industry!
……
Jin Shiliang dragged his tired body from get off work. After riding his bicycle for a while, he suddenly braked.
Then he turned the car around and rode back. Then he saw the location of a small store with the sign of "Internet Cafe" and four computers inside. At this moment, people were already sitting in front of the computers, and there were many more behind them. People gathered around.
Vaguely, you can still hear words like, "Boss, how long does it take until it's my turn?" and "I have to work for two hours."
Looking at this Internet cafe, Jin Shiliang, who had been tired all day, stood there blankly, feeling as if the sky had fallen. This location was originally the place he wanted to rent to open an Internet cafe...
