Chapter 1209 With the concept of the future, run Internet cafes

"Boss, what is 11 Computer?"

Xue Shan heard Jiang Hua read the news headline just now and asked curiously.

"To put it simply, it is one megabyte of memory, plus a floppy drive, and it is an 11 computer. The biggest advantage of this kind of computer is that it is cheap, and the price is only one-third of that of imported computers."

Jiang Hua explained to Lao Xue with a smile.

"That's great. Now we have not only domestically produced mobile phones, but also computers. Who said high-tech products are exclusive to foreigners?"

Xue Shan grinned and started the car happily.

Like Jiang Hua, he has very strong national sentiments and is relatively hostile to the invasion of the domestic market by foreign brands.

"If domestic computers want to truly stand up, they still have to develop their own chips. This road is long and arduous."

Jiang Hua closed the newspaper and sighed.

In terms of performance, imported computers are currently better than domestic brands in various accessories.

Although Lianxiang Company has a background in computer science and its research and development capabilities are among the best in the country, it still has a long way to go before it can surpass imported computers.

At this moment, the mobile phone in his handbag rang.

"Turn off the music in the car and I'll take a call."

Jiang Hua took out his mobile phone from his bag.

I looked at the caller ID and saw that the call was from Danjun, probably about a chain of Internet cafes.

"Brother Jiang, I have a difficult matter now and I need you to help me make up my mind."

After the call was connected, Dan Jun didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Well, tell me, I'm listening."

Even through the phone, Jiang Hua could hear the embarrassment and distress in his tone.

"It's like this. Because of Xiao Yu's help, the computers in our Internet cafe are all purchased from Xiangjiang. But some time ago, a salesperson from Lianxiang Company found me and said that they can provide assembled machines with the same performance as foreign ones.

The machine is similar, but the price is one-third cheaper.”

Dan Jun said on the phone.

"It's one-third cheaper, which can save a lot of costs. What are you struggling with?"

Jiang Hua asked calmly.

He was not surprised that Lian Xiang approached Dan Jun. After all, Dan Jun was now the number one Internet cafe chain in the country.

Before this, there was not even an Internet cafe in inland cities.

Lianxiang wanted to develop the domestic computer market, so it was impossible to let go of such a big customer as an Internet cafe.

"The problem is, I don't know how the performance of their assembled machines is. If the configuration is not good, it will affect the reputation of our Internet cafe."

Dan Jun said in a troubled tone.

"When they were discussing business with you, they didn't bring a prototype over for you to experience?"

Jiang Hua asked slightly curiously.

Even when Qiao Binbin was exploring the rural market, he knew how to get a few video disc players as samples for the villagers to experience. He didn't trust Lianxiang's salesmen and couldn't even think of this.

"Of course there are prototypes. I have compared them. Whether it is boot speed or running smoothness, they are much worse than the computers we purchased in Xiangjiang."

Danjun sighed and said.

You get what you pay for. Although the assembled machines from Lianxiang are cheap, their performance is not as good as the imported machines.

"What brand is the computer you purchased there?"

Jiang Hua asked on the phone.

After he gave Dan Jun the idea of ​​opening a chain of Internet cafes, he left the young couple to Yu Liwei and didn't pay much attention to the follow-up.

Therefore, he really doesn't know what brand of computers are currently used in Danjun's chain of Internet cafes.

"It's called Tuopu. Xiao Yu said it's a brand from Sam's and the price/performance ratio is pretty good."

After receiving the surprise training from Yu Liwei, Danjun now has a basic understanding of the computer brands on the market.

When he first decided to adopt the Tuopu brand, Lianxiang was still on one-third of an acre of land in Zhongguancun.

It wasn't until the past six months that Danjun's chain of Internet cafes became a phenomenon that Lianxiang noticed that he had missed such a big customer.

"Actually, you can divide the Internet cafe into two areas. The high-end area uses imported computers and the Internet fee is more expensive, and the general area uses domestic computers and the Internet fee is cheaper."

Jiang Hua gives advice to Danjun.

In the past life, when domestic Internet cafes first emerged, everyone was in one Internet cafe and all used the same model.

Even if it is an upgrade, all computers must be replaced together.

There is no division between high-end areas and ordinary areas.

Until later, the competition in Internet cafes became more and more fierce, forcing Internet cafe owners to target their customer groups more accurately.

In order to improve the user experience, Internet cafes are divided into private rooms, competition areas, and chat areas.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it? You can actually have your cake and eat it too."

Dan Jun felt like he had a sudden enlightenment.

He had been struggling before, saying that if domestically assembled machines were used, the experience of Internet cafe users would be degraded.

However, all imported computers are used, and the cost is too high, and the Internet cafe's return on investment is too slow.

After all, computers are updated very quickly. After two or three years of use, the configuration gradually begins to fail to keep up.

He runs a chain of Internet cafes, so the cost of hardware upgrades must be taken into consideration.

"Lao Dan, actually you can suggest Lianxiang to import some computer parts and then match them with domestic parts to make a mid-range assembly machine. Although the 11 computer is suitable for ordinary users, for our company, the performance is somewhat unsatisfactory."

Jiang Hua pondered for a moment and said.

Currently, most of his company's computers are imported.

It's not that he doesn't want to support domestically produced computers, it's mainly that the current domestic computer market is still in its infancy. Even if he wanted to support it, he couldn't find a target.

However, the appearance of Lianxiang gave him hope. He remembered that after Lianxiang's success in his previous life, a large number of computer merchants appeared in the country.

Subsequently, domestic computers officially entered an era in which a hundred flowers bloomed.

"Brother Jiang, thank you for giving me some guidance. When you return to the provincial capital, my brother will treat you to dinner."

Dan Jun now has confidence in his heart and his tone has become much more relaxed.

"Lao Dan, I have developed a chat software. You can ask the network administrator of the Internet cafe to install it later and help me collect feedback from users."

Before Jiang Hua hung up the phone, he did not forget to promote his company's Feixun chat software.

"It's a small matter, don't forget, you are also a shareholder of our chain of Internet cafes."

Dan Jun chuckled lightly.

At first, Jianghua wanted to lend money to Danjun to open an Internet cafe, but did not intend to invest in it, but Danjun insisted on giving Jianghua a part of the shares.

He felt that as a person, you should not forget your roots, and when you drink water, you should not forget the well digger. When his Internet cafe makes profits, it is natural for him to pay dividends to Jianghua.

After talking to Dan Jun on the phone, Jiang Hua stretched himself out, and then said to Xue Shan: "Stop at a bank and I'll withdraw some cash."

"Can CCB do it?"

Xue Shan happened to see a bank in front of him.

"Just park on the side of the road."
