"Chairman, this is the budget for the internet café!" Although Boss Jia was only running a small internet café for fun, the Daqian people wouldn't slack off. In less than half a day, a detailed budget was placed in front of Boss Jia.
"4 million, why is it so expensive!" Boss Jia couldn't help but cry out when he saw the final price.
Although 4 million was nothing to Boss Jia, the problem was that Boss Jia wasn't a fat sheep that could be slaughtered easily.
In fact, the other prices on the list weren't too bad. The decorations only cost about 20 thousand, the various seats only cost about 30 thousand, and the house was free. All the other costs added up to less than 100 thousand RMB.
The remaining 3.9 million was all for the computers. According to the price on the list, a computer cost 9,750 RMB. Boss Jia wanted 400 computers, so that would be 3.9 million RMB.
Logically speaking, this wasn't too expensive, but Boss Jia took a look at the configuration of the computer.
Good heavens, a 486 processor. This thing could be called a god-level CPU, and some people even used it to order important people.
But the problem was that the 486 was released in 1989, which was one year before Boss Jia transmigrated. It was now 1997, and he was about to celebrate his 8th birthday. This thing was still installed in this batch of brand-new computers.
And the memory, it only had 4 MB of memory. Boss Jia's lowest TF card was 8 MB.
The hard disk only had 16 GB, and it couldn't even install a few games.
As for the graphics card, it naturally didn't exist.
Finally, because it was a computer for the internet café, it didn't even need a CD-ROM drive or a USB drive. But such a thing actually cost 9,750 RMB. This was treating Boss Jia like a fat sheep that could be slaughtered!
"Call the person in charge of purchasing here!" Boss Jia said angrily. He originally wanted to teach this guy a lesson.
This guy must have taken Boss Jia's kickback, so Boss Jia wanted to teach this guy a lesson and make him get out of here.
However, Boss Jia realized that he was wrong after he called the person in charge of purchasing in and scolded him. The person in charge of purchasing was just stupid, but he wasn't greedy.
After all, he was working directly for Boss Jia, so he didn't have the ability to be greedy.
He just thought that since Boss Jia wanted to buy a computer to open an internet cafe, then he had to buy the best one on the market, the one with the best brand. That was why he handed in the purchase list.
They bought the most famous models in the country.
What? You're asking what brand of computer this is?
Of course, it was an association.
That's right, this staff member planned to purchase a full set of Lenovo computers, and 9750 was the official price after making a phone call.
Moreover, this was the real price. It did not include any rebates. After all, this model was sold to ZF for 15,000 yuan each.
This made Boss Jia feel like he was retarded. Didn't this guy know about the grudge between the Daqian and Lenovo?
Oh, it seemed like the grudge between the Daqian and Lenovo happened a few years ago. The internet wasn't developed now, and news didn't spread widely. Most people in Daqian didn't know about the grudge between the Daqian and Lenovo.
After knowing that this was a Lenovo computer, Boss Jia was even less likely to buy this annoying computer.
However, if he didn't buy a Lenovo computer, then what brand should he buy?
IBM?
The price wasn't much lower than Lenovo, and it was in USD. It wasn't worth spending USD to open an internet cafe!
"Then let's assemble it ourselves!" Boss Jia remembered the first time in his life when he went to Jingdong to buy all kinds of CPUs, graphics cards, motherboards, memory, hard drives, and so on. Then, he followed the video of himself assembling it. He slapped his thigh and said.
Fine, since he decided to assemble it himself, then he would buy all kinds of parts.
Then, Boss Jia opened Taobao and began to look for computer parts.
Logically speaking, in 1997 in the other world, Taobao didn't exist. Even if it did, no one would sell computer parts and let players freely DIY and assemble it.
In this era, the concept of PC didn't even exist.
However, it was a coincidence. Because Taobao was basically doing business with enterprises, it basically sold products produced by various enterprises. There were some computer parts on display in the online shop.
"Oh, Sanghai memory, the world's leading memory technology, 10 MB per second, 32 MB wholesale price, 320 RMB for one. 64 MB for one, 700 RMB for one, 128 MB for one, 1500 RMB for one. "
"Also, Jijia motherboard, supports all series of Intel CPUs, supports all mainstream devices in the world, has all kinds of slots, can install two memory cards, wholesale price is only 385 RMB for one."
"Red Magic Hard Drive, 32 GB, also 800 RMB!"
"Wuji Case, 20 RMB for one, you can choose any shape!"
Boss Jia quickly found most of the parts he needed on Taobao. Except for the CPU and GPU, everything else was complete.
A 486 CPU, the market price was 800 RMB. After all, this was a product that was about to be phased out, and people in the United States didn't sell it.
Of course, Boss Jia wouldn't buy such an outdated 486 CPU, but even if Boss Jia bought the most advanced Pentium 3 CPU, it would only cost 4,000 RMB.
Therefore, Boss Jia directly assembled a Pentium 3 CPU, 64 MB RAM, 32 GB mechanical hard drive, and a computer with a display screen on Taobao, and it would only cost 8,000 RMB.
If Boss Jia assembled the computer according to Lenovo's 10,000 RMB configuration, it would not even cost 2,500 RMB. This was a full four times profit!
"Tsk tsk, buying computers is indeed the most profitable. It's more profitable than selling phones!" Boss Jia sighed. No wonder Lenovo was able to develop so quickly at the beginning of the 21st century. At the same time, they refused to relax the trade technology policy. It turned out that trade technology was really profitable!
After sighing, Boss Jia used the online message function of Taobao to communicate with a RAM seller, Sanghai RAM. He hoped to buy 500 128MB RAM.
However, the other party replied, "Our company's minimum order is 1,000 sticks. Your order is too small, so we won't ship it. Otherwise, there will be no profit!"
"Who owns this Sanghai RAM? They are so arrogant. Do they know how to do business? The Taobao of the modern era even sells a towel, and it even includes shipping. I want to buy 500 RAM sticks. How can they say that there's no profit?" Boss Jia was furious when he saw this.
"Chairman, Sanghai RAM is actually in our Yuzhang Electronics Industrial Park. It's a company under the Daqian Group!" The secretary behind him whispered.
"Uh … it's my company?"
"That's right. There are also Jijia motherboards, Hongmo hard drives, and so on. They are all under the Daqian Group!" The secretary continued to report.
So, these were all Boss Jia's own.
