Chapter 161 Internet Cafe Plan
Back home.
Looking at how early it was, I turned on my computer to process today’s work emails.
Domestic matters are handled in the company, but matters involving the five subsidiaries in South Korea, Japan, Greater China, Zhongnan and Nanyang need to be understood and responded to in a timely manner.
After watching for a moment, Xu Liang picked up his cell phone and called Li Haizhen.
"President?"
"It's me. I saw the email you sent. Do you want to be an Internet cafe?"
"Yes. The Internet foundation in Indochina is too poor and there are too few users. . Even if we expand all our businesses, we won't be able to generate much revenue. However, if we open an Internet cafe, it will be very marketable.
In this way, we can not only get the benefits of the Internet cafe, but also directly benefit from it. The company’s software is pre-installed on computers to increase the number of users and increase market share.”
Xu Liang also knows that this method is good, but the investment is too high.
"With our company's current revenue, it is difficult for you to spread your stalls throughout the Indochina Peninsula."
"President, I have thought of two solutions to this problem.
First, most of the investment in Internet cafes is computer hardware.
I plan to purchase second-hand computers from China, South Korea, and Japan. Although they are a bit older, they can still surf the Internet and play games normally after replacing a few parts.
In this way, our investment costs can be reduced by 30 to 50%. ”
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
The countries in Indochina are generally poor, and ordinary computers can satisfy them.
“Second, in view of the chaotic security environment in Indochina, I plan to cooperate with local forces to give up the controlling rights and retain the management rights of the Internet cafe.
In this way, we can not only Gaining the protection of local forces can also reduce part of the investment. We can also earn back the reduced revenue from expanded games, advertising and other businesses.”
It sounded good, Xu Liang asked.
“Where do you plan to start?”
“Thailand, as the central country of Indochina, although its economy is not as good as that of Malaysia and Singapore, it is still in the middle reaches and has the greatest potential.”
“What about partners? Are you considering it now?”
“Not yet.
I plan to open a few first, then find local financial institutions for venture capital, and then slowly expand. Of course, if the president knows Thai business people, they can also cooperate directly. "
"Just use your method. ”
Xu Liang is also very unfamiliar with the Southeast Asian business community.
It can be seen that Li Haizhen has been thinking about this matter for a long time and has considered all aspects.
“ You can make a detailed report and I will evaluate it with the people at the head office first. ”
"Okay, I'll fax it to you tomorrow."
I arrived at the Hongmeng Company headquarters the next day.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Hui got Li Haizhen's investment plan and took a brief look at it.
“Fetch Mr. Xie.”
Lu Hui turned around and quickly found Xie Wen.
After inviting him to sit down, Xu Liang handed over the plan submitted by Li Haizhen.
“Take a look first.”
Xie Wen nodded and looked at it carefully.
After waiting quietly for nearly half an hour, I watched Xie Wen put down the document.
“How was it?”
"The feasibility is very high. If the operation is done well, it can be the key for us to open the entire Southeast Asian market. Li Haizhen is indeed very capable." Xie Wendao.
“But we’d better not use second-hand computers. There are two main reasons.
First, the market for second-hand computers is very deep. We don’t have the connections in this area, so we rushed in rashly. , the probability of being cheated is very high.”
Hearing this, Xu Liang thought of his experience in his previous life.
When I was in college, a buddy in the dormitory was greedy for cheap. He relied on his knowledge of computers and bought a second-hand one from Zhonghai.
When I first bought it, everything worked fine, but it broke within a few months.
I found out later after I found a really knowledgeable person to check it out.
The Micron 512MB memory listed on the purchase list was actually only 64MB, and it was second-hand. It can only run some simple programs. Once you play games or run too large software, it will easily burn the memory.
Of course, this is just the most common example.
There is nothing more complicated than this.
Unless you really know a lot about it, don’t touch second-hand goods.
Although Xu Liang can recruit professional hardware personnel through Hongmeng Company, if all the hardware in the computer is checked, the labor cost will be too high.
After all, they are purchasing not dozens or hundreds of computers, but thousands or tens of thousands.
“Second, we purchase large quantities and can directly contact manufacturers to purchase accessories. The price is not only lower, but also relatively simple to assemble computers, and the quality is guaranteed.”
“Third, Southeast Asian countries generally have relatively low levels of education. If you use second-hand computers, the failure rate will definitely be high, and it is difficult for us to find qualified maintenance personnel.
And when the failure rate is high, it also affects our revenue creation. "
Xu Liang thought for a moment. He admitted that what Xie Wen said made sense, but he still believed in the data more.
"First make a detailed financial investigation and analysis report for me. . "
Xie Wen nodded.
"Has the company's financial data for two thousand years been produced? ”
"Huaxia is expected to finish it in the afternoon, and the financial data of several subsidiaries is expected to take a few days."
Xu Liang nodded, "Have the finance department send me a copy when it's finished."
< br>"Okay."
"One more thing. The development of "Legend 2" and "Miracle MU" in South Korea has been successful. Miracle will be released first. When the source code is passed on, Jumang will first The studio has completed the Chinese version of "Legend 2". "
Although "Legend 2" and "Miracle MU" are both excellent, "Legend 2" must be promoted first in the Chinese market.
Once this order is reversed and players are accustomed to the gorgeousness and exquisiteness of "Miracle MU", players may not be able to appreciate the roughness of "Legend 2".
Although this worry may not come true, Xu Liang does not want to gamble with the company's future profits.
Once he fails, what he loses is not just a game, but a super IP with the potential of hundreds of billions of Chinese coins.
"I will accurately convey these to Lao Wu." Xie Wen said.
Xu Liang nodded and was about to explain a few more words.
The landline phone on the table suddenly rang.
Xu Liang picked up.
The voice of secretary Lu Hui came.
"Mr. Xu, a lady named Liu Jihong is looking for you."
"Liu Jihong?" Xu Liang thought for a while and couldn't remember that he knew such a person.
"Approximately how old is she?"
"She is about forty years old. She is well-kept. From the looks of her clothes, she is either rich or expensive."
"She has a good background." After a pause, "Ask the front desk to arrange her into the reception room No. 3. I'll be here soon."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone.
"Lao Xie, I left those things to you."
"These are what I should do." After sending Xie Wen out of the office, he also got up and walked towards the reception room No. 3.
“Mr. Xu.”
Seeing him coming, secretary Lu Hui said hello quickly.
"Is there someone inside?"
"Yes."
After Xu Liang nodded, he opened the door and walked over.
A beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a red coat came into view. The moment he saw her, Xu Liang was stunned for a moment.
He saw the shadow of Jiang Xiaoyang in the other party.
Liu Jihong's eyes were sharp and he slowly stood up.
"It seems that you have guessed my identity?"
Xu Liang nodded and smiled: "Hello, Aunt Liu."
Liu Jihong nodded slightly , "No wonder you can make Xiaoyang's ambitious girl reluctant to leave. You can make the company so big at such a young age. You are really outstanding."
Although she has also read about Xu Liang Company in the information. news, but the information on paper is ultimately shallow.
Seeing it ten times is not as shocking as going there in person.
Occupying half of the Wangjing Building and having nearly two thousand employees, it is a big company no matter how you look at it.
"You've thanked me. ...Please sit down."
When Liu Jihong sat down again, Xu Liang also sat down on the sofa next to him.
“Aunt Liu, what would you like to drink?”
"No need to bother, I'm just here to take a look, and I'll say a few words to you before I leave."
After Xu Liang nodded, he waved to Lu Hui.
"You go down first."
Lu Hui nodded and turned to leave. She also closed the door when she went out. Only Xu Liang and Liu Jihong were left in the reception room No. 3.
“Can you tell me what happened to Xiaoyang at your place on New Year’s Day?”
"I don't quite understand what you mean?"
Glancing at him, Liu Jihong said calmly: "After Xiaoyang went back that night, he seemed very lonely and asked me about men's cheating."< br>
Xu Liangliang was shocked and worried.
"Xu Liang, actually I understand you very well. There is no man who doesn't cheat. Especially for someone like you who is successful at a young age and is surrounded by beautiful women.
Perhaps you can still persist in the beginning, but as time goes by, even eminent monks who have practiced hard for many years will inevitably be tempted.
So I'm not surprised that there are several, or even more, women around you.
But understanding is understanding, as Xiaoyang’s mother, I never want my daughter to marry a playboy-style man, even if he is really excellent. "
Paused.
"Do you understand what I mean? "
"Understood. "Xu Liang smiled and nodded.
"As long as you understand, I hope you can keep a certain distance from our Xiaoyang in the future."
"I understand your difficulties very well, auntie. Don't worry, I will keep a certain distance from Sister Xiaoyang." ." Xu Liang said simply.
“Really?”
Liu Jihong said in surprise.
“Really.”
Looking at the man opposite who was always smiling, Liu Jihong couldn't help but say.
“Aren’t you angry?”
“Why should I be angry?”
Liu Jihong opened his mouth.
Isn’t it like this in idol dramas? Normally after a mandarin duck fight like this, the man from an ordinary background shouldn't be very angry and then say, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty"?
She had all her lines prepared, but this was the result?
“It seems that you don’t have deep feelings for our Xiaoyang.”
“On the contrary, I have deep feelings for Sister Xiaoyang. When I started my business, if it weren’t for With her help, I wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. New Dreams, Hongmeng and Hanhua wouldn’t have developed so fast.
However, it’s because I love her that I respect her decision even more.”
“You mean, if Xiaoyang is willing to be with you, you won’t give up?”
"That's right."
"Then what I just said is nonsense?"
"Auntie is wrong, why is it nonsense? At least it makes me understand your attitude, Auntie. Moreover, I will indeed keep a certain distance from Sister Xiaoyang, and I will not exceed the limits of affection."
Liu Jihong couldn't help but said: "Don't you love Xiaoyang the best? Just let it go, why are you struggling so hard?”
Xu Liang:….
You must have watched too many idol dramas.
In his dictionary, love means possession.
Mine, mine, all mine.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have found an opportunity to eat Jiang Xiaoyang.
Considering that the other party was an elder, Xu Liang smiled and didn't say much.
Seeing that the drama of bitterness was useless, Liu Jihong changed his tactics again.
"Xu Liang, if you agree to Auntie's conditions and leave Xiaoyang, I can come forward and ask the bank to grant you an interest-free loan, at least 100 million, to help you develop the company."
"Haha ….”
Xu Liang suddenly laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
"Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to laugh at you. I just think you really don't understand the technology industry.
Auntie, to tell you the truth, if I am willing, Hongmeng can easily raise $100 million. ”
“One hundred million dollars?”
Liu Jihong obviously didn’t believe it.
"If auntie doesn't believe it, go home and ask Xiaoyang, will you know whether what I said is true or false?"
Liu Jihong, who was shocked by this astonishing number, nodded.
"I will ask Xiaoyang personally, I hope you didn't lie."
Xu Liang smiled, "I never lie in front of my elders."
Liu Jihong He nodded, quickly stood up and walked outside.
He suddenly stopped when he was approaching the door.
Turning around and looking at Xu Liang.
"No matter how much money you make, the Jiang family will not allow a son-in-law who is messing around with women. No need to give it away."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out. .
Watching her walk away, Xu Liang always looked calm and did not take the other party's words to heart.
A rich man with a net worth of more than one billion does not have the right to be presumptuous.
But what if you are a top tycoon with a fortune in the trillions or more, and influence all over the world?
In this world, strength will ultimately speak for itself.
