Chapter 71 Buying a computer
Together with Li Yanran, Li Yuting was sent to the car from Jingcheng to Shanghai. Looking at the bus slowly disappearing at the corner of the highway, Li Mo withdrew their reluctant eyes.
"Sister Li, have you called your uncle and aunt? Don't let Xiaoting go home. They don't know it. Li Mo opened the door and asked Li Yanran to sit on it first. Then she followed up and sat down. She asked casually.
Li Yanran glanced at Li Mo with dissatisfaction and said reproachful, "If I don't call, I'm afraid you won't even think of making a phone call."
Li Mo smiled when he heard the words and defended, "Isn't there your sister here? It's not appropriate for me, my son-in-law-to-be. By the way, Sister Li, I may go to the provincial capital later. The Internet cafe has been renovated, and I need to buy a computer. I suddenly remembered that the thin monkey called in the morning to talk about the Internet cafe, and I had to report it to my wife first.
Sister Li was sent to the factory. Li Mo did not get out of the car. After witnessing Li Yanran enter the door of the factory, he nodded with a smile to Zhang Zhigang, who was standing by the gate.
Before going to the Internet cafe, Li Mo first called the thin monkey and asked him to go to the Internet cafe to wait for himself.
"Skinny monkey, you can go to the provincial capital with me to buy a computer later. As for what I ordered yesterday, you can let the beasts and thunder do it. In the Internet cafe, Li Mo checked around, because he added some Internet cafe decoration elements that Li Mo brought from his previous life. This Internet cafe looks much more comfortable than the Internet cafe of this era.
The ceiling is black, and the walls are blue, green and yellow latex paint. Various lamps can choose different brightness. But the computer desk hasn't been put in yet. This hall is empty.
"Skinny monkey, when will the computer desk be delivered to us?" Li Mo finished watching the decoration of the Internet cafe and said with satisfaction.
"Boss, I called the furniture factory, and they said they could deliver the goods tonight. I asked them to send someone to install it all at night. The thin monkey's face was calm and he didn't pause at all.
Li Mo took the thin monkey to the bank first to check whether the loan application had been made. If not, he will go to the provincial capital to place an order first, and he can pay the deposit first. If it is done, go directly to the provincial capital to buy the computer.
After consulting a deputy section chief of the bank credit department, he learned that the loan bank had approved it. You can transfer to Li Mo's account at any time.
I was happy to check the extra 300,000 yuan in the card. Li Mo got on the car and asked Stone to go to the provincial capital now.
In Wanping City, the provincial capital, Li Mo is not very familiar with it. Although he had stayed in this city for more than a year before he was reborn, Li Mo was not a person who liked to run around. In that year, he only played near the school.
Jinzhai Road is the main digital street in Wanping City. More than half of the computer sellers in Wanping are gathered here.
Li Mo is not very clear about the computer configuration in this period, but he also knows 128 memory, 3 CPU and 40G hard disk.
When the owner of this computer city heard that Li Mo opened an Internet cafe to buy a batch of computers, he quickly smiled and invited Li Mo to his office and made a cup of tea in person.
"What configuration of computer does the little brother want to buy?" After hearing that Li Mo said some computer parameters, the boss did not dare to regard Li Mo as a wrongdoer.
Li Mo smiled and didn't answer. He had to wait for the boss to say what the mainstream configuration was and the price. And before he came in, Li Mo asked the thin monkey to go to other computer cities to inquire about the price.
When the boss saw that Li Mo didn't speak, he was also worried. The young man in front of him is a big customer. It takes a hundred to open your mouth. If you ask for too much price, maybe the other party will change to another one immediately. This is not what he wants.
Thinking of this, the boss took out a price list from the drawer, handed it to Li Mo with a smile, and said, "The configuration above is the mainstream configuration of the Internet cafe now. A computer is 4500. This is still the price that you buy as much as you buy. If ordinary people come to buy it, it will cost 5,000 yuan.
Li Mo disdained the boss's words. Why did I buy more for only 4,500? But I still took the order and took a closer look.
The configuration is similar to what I thought, but I just replaced the 40G hard disk with 20G. I calculated the unit price for a while, and the assembly machine of this configuration cost 4550. The boss said that 4500 is about the same. However, Li Mo didn't believe that the boss only had such a statement. There must be several orders with different prices.
For hard disks, 40G and 20G Li Mo doesn't care. At this time, there are few online games, and there are not many stand-alone games. I can't use that much hard disk space. It's just that the price is too different from the price in my heart.
"Boss, your price is too high." Returning the list in his hand to the boss of Computer City, Li Mo leaned on the sofa and said with a smile.
"Is it too high? No, little brother. The price of computers is the same now. How could I lie to you?" When the boss heard Li Mo's words, he said with an unhappy face.
At this time, the door of the office was knocked.
"Come in!" The boss smiled apologetically at Li Mo, sat upright and said in a low voice.
An employee here came in with a thin monkey and said respectfully to the boss of the computer city, "Boss, this man is here to find him." With that, he pointed to Li Mo sitting on the sofa.
The boss was stunned when he heard the words and looked at Li Mo with inquiring eyes.
"This is my employee." Li Mo nodded and replied with a smile.
"You go out first." The boss waved to the employee under his hand.
The thin monkey walked to Li Mo and whispered a few words to Li Mo's ear. Li Mo nodded and motioned him to go outside and wait for himself.
"How's it going, little brother? This price is already the biggest discount I can give you. If it is lower, I will lose money." The boss said with a sincere smile on his face.
Li Mo didn't say anything about the boss's words. He is not a good negotiator, and the thin monkey just told him that the configuration in a computer city is similar to what the boss showed to Li Mo, and the price is only 4,000. It can be imagined that this boss slaughtered himself.
One is 500 more expensive. One hundred units is 50,000. Isn't it true that your money is in the water?
"Boss, the price here is different from that of other places. If you can't get another discount, I'll have to go to another one. Li Mo finished talking with a smile and looked at the boss leisurely. He is not afraid that the boss will not reduce the price. If he really can't do it, he can go to another place to buy it.
When the boss heard Li Mo's words, he didn't know that the employee who just came in went to other stores to inquire. I scolded in my heart that this must be a good thing done by Lao Chen, the owner of the store next to him. There is something wrong with Lao Chen and himself here. I probably saw that I had a big customer. I also want to grab this business.
Thinking of this, the boss's face was immediately full of apologetically smiling and said, "I'm sorry, little brother. I took the wrong list just now. The one you just saw is to buy a personal computer. After saying that, he quickly took out another quotation form from the drawer and handed it to Li Mo. There was a trace of heartache in his eyes.
"Oh?" Li Mo took the list with a smile and glanced at it. The configuration is still the same, but the price is only 3800. It's still a little expensive! Li Mo only brought 340,000 yuan with him, but this 100 computer cost 380,000 yuan.
After another bargain, Li Mo finally bought 100 computers with 350,000 yuan. And the other party also needs to send the computer to Jingcheng and be responsible for the installation.
A deposit of 100,000 yuan was paid, and the rest of the money will not be paid until the computer is sent to Jingcheng for installation.
He said goodbye to the boss of the computer city with a painful face, and Li Mo got into the car with a smile.
After walking around the city, Li Mo found a famous local technology company. I bought the right to use a set of paid software, with an annual usage fee of 30,000 yuan.
Three people left Wanping after having lunch in a restaurant in the city. When the car was passing through the suburbs of Wucheng, several people saw a group of hoodlums fighting through the window.
A total of dozens of hoodlums fought together with steel pipes and machetes. From time to time, someone screamed and fell to the ground.
Li Mo asked Stone to slow down the speed of the car and watched a group of people fighting in a gravel factory with great interest.
Suddenly, a long-haired young man took out a short-barreled shotgun from his waist and turned to the sky. Just fired a shot.
All the melee hoodlums were stunned by the gunshot at the same time. The movements in the hand also stopped.
When the car moved farther and farther, Li Mocai smiled and said, "Now the underworld can suppress the scene with a small shotgun."
The thin monkey was not easy to interrupt, and the stone's face remained unchanged, "Domestic arms are not easy to deal with. Most of them are homemade; shotguns. Only a big force like the Golden Dragon Gang will have real weapons.
Li Moruo nodded thoughtfully and suddenly whispered, "Stone, do you think if we sell guns in China, is there a market?"
"Squeak!" The stone was shocked and quickly stepped on the brake. Li Mo, who looked at the solemn matter with an incredible face, was also stunned by Li Mo's bold idea.
Selling guns in China? It will definitely not escape the punishment of the state organs.
Stone glanced at the thin monkey sitting in the back and didn't say anything. Keep driving.
Back to Jingcheng, Li Mo ordered the thin monkey to recruit two cashiers and a technician. After the Internet cafe opens, it will definitely have people. As for the thin monkeys, it's almost the same to be a show. Let them collect the money, maybe how much money will be lost in a day. The network management does not need it for the time being. The general problem is that the thin monkeys can help with it. If it really doesn't work, there are technicians.
In the stone residence, the room is smoky. Li Mo and Stone sat on the sofa and kept smoking. Both of them are analyzing whether Li Mo's idea is possible.
"Boss, if we just sell in small batches, and be careful, there will be no problem with safety. But we still have a few problems to solve. The stone pondered for a long time before he said in a low voice.
Li Mo did not speak, but motioned Stone to continue.
"We must first solve the problem of the source of munitions. We only have more than a dozen guns, and we still need to use them ourselves. There must be no extra guns to sell. The second is the problem of manpower. This is not an ordinary thing. It's exposed, but I'm going to lose my head. I'm not sure about the sincerity of the skinny monkeys. The third is the seller's problem. Who should we sell the gun to? This question is related to the second question. We all need a large number of heartfelt people to sell and trade.
Hearing Stone's words, Li Mo looked at him with admiration. These problems are also what Li Mo thought in his mind. His ideal is to be an arms dealer; and his power has a special bonus to machining. Especially arms. As long as it is a three-dimensional picture of the ordnance stored in your mind. You can take out the detailed drawings and parameters of each part by yourself. Although I can't get the precision machines of military enterprises now, I can transform them by myself. It's just that I don't have enough control and hands-on ability. You need to exercise your manual transformation and control ability.
Thinking of this, Li Mo said flatly, "When the Internet cafe opens, you can train the thin monkeys. Sincerely, it also needs to be cultivated. We don't have that much money to buy machinery and equipment now. Only cultivate manpower first. And you can also find some veterans, go to poor places, and find people who are in urgent need of money to save their lives. As long as we can solve their problems, we can let them help us. After saying that, Li Mo knew that the biggest problem now was still money. And there are many shortcomings in their own words. For example, some veterans are strong patriots. If they are allowed to make and sell arms in China, will they be disgusted or even rejected? This needs to be tested and verified in the future.
" OK, I can go to my former comrades-in-arms first. Some of them have difficult families. I don't know if it's ready now. I haven't contacted them for several years. Stone thought about Li Mo's words for a while and nodded in agreement.
