The next day, it was time for the official election of the association president. The process was quite formal. Everyone elected a few candidates, and then the candidates would give a speech. Finally, all the members of the association would vote to decide who the president would be.
Of course, this result was already decided internally. If it wasn't for Zhang Zhahui, who else could it be? In the future, Zhang Zhahui would have a bunch of brothers who owned internet cafes.
Yes, I'm referring to the online games.
However, the basic process still had to be followed. For example, the speech segment still had to be done. Although the candidates' speeches were very perfunctory, each of them left the stage in less than five minutes. Moreover, three of the five minutes were spent praising Zhang Zhahui for being an excellent person.
This made the atmosphere of the meeting very boring. Everyone was about to fall asleep.
Fortunately, it was finally Zhang Zhahui's turn to give a speech. Everyone finally regained some interest. After all, after Zhang Zhahui's speech, this boring meeting would end, and they would be free.
Therefore, under the rare expectant gaze of everyone, Zhang Zhahui went up to the podium and said with a smile on his face, "Friends from all over the world, I, Zhang Zhahui, am a rough person. I don't know how to talk too much. However, I feel that since I'm the president of the association, I should seek benefits for everyone in the association!
After all, everyone joined the association to help each other. Actually, I've been busy with this matter for the past few days. Last night, I finally had a result. Today, I'm here to share the good news with everyone! "
"What?" The originally bored crowd was suddenly curious. What benefits did Zhang Zhahui seek for everyone? Could it be some kind of commemorative album or notebook?
"Alright, I won't keep everyone in suspense. As everyone knows, Yuzhang is the hometown of the Daqian Group. It's also the hometown of Xiaomi Computer. 80% of the components in Xiaomi Computer are produced by the Daqian Group's military companies!
Therefore, I've been communicating with Xiaomi Computer and related companies recently. I hope that our association can have some preferential terms when purchasing their products! "
"Originally, this condition was very difficult to negotiate. However, after everyone agreed to support the association's use of the latest Bili Bili Internet Cafe management system, the other party immediately reciprocated and finally reached an agreement last night!"
"I hereby announce that from today onwards, Xiaomi Computer and all the electronic products manufacturers of the Daqian Group have reached an agreement with a targeted purchasing channel. This means that whenever we purchase computer-related products from Xiaomi Computer and related companies through the Internet Cafe Association, the price will always be 5% lower than the normal purchasing channel!"
"F * ck!" Everyone at the scene immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, and then a terrifying light appeared in their eyes.
Zhang Zhahui actually reached such an agreement with Xiao Mi. This was too f * cking tempting.
One had to know that almost all the computers in the internet cafes were supplied by Xiaomi Computer. The reason was simple. There was no other manufacturer in the country that could produce a computer cheaper than Xiaomi.
The internet cafes didn't care about the brand. They only cared about the price-quality ratio. Xiaomi was undoubtedly the most price-quality ratio. This was acknowledged by all the internet cafes' owners. Therefore, almost all the internet cafes were buying Xiaomi products.
Now, the price was going to be lowered by 5%. Although it sounded a little small, to the internet cafes' owners, it was a huge sum.
Opening an internet cafes now, just the cost of purchasing these two items was no less than 300,000 RMB.
And 5% was 15,000 RMB. 15,000 RMB in this day and age was about the same as 150,000 RMB in the future. Who could resist such a temptation?
As long as they joined the association, they would be able to save this amount of money. This made all the shop owners drool.
Although they had already purchased computers, the computers in the internet cafes had to be updated once every two years.
Don't think that the display screen and chassis of the internet cafes haven't changed. Look at the CPU, GPU, and other configurations inside. They had to be updated with the times. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to run the latest games.
And if they couldn't run the latest games, they wouldn't be able to retain customers. This formed a vicious cycle.
Therefore, although many people couldn't use this discount now, they would definitely use it in the future.
Hearing this, many of the shop owners who were against joining the association had their thoughts melted away. At the same time, they were cursing Zhang Zahui in their hearts. If you had this condition, you should have said it earlier. Everyone would definitely support you and Biri Biri. Why did you only say it now?
For the price of 5%, only a fool would refuse to join the association.
Actually, Zhang Zahui was also very curious about this point. He specially asked Boss Jia. Boss Jia explained it like this, "At the beginning, you directly used the cost of the original Windows system to force them. This is power."
"Then, you use 5% to lower the price. This is kindness."
"If you only use force to do things, sooner or later, everyone will rebel against you. If you only use kindness to win them over, once there are no benefits in the future, everyone will rebel against you. "
"Only by using kindness and kindness, with a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, can you make these people listen to you for a long time." Boss Jia's words were very simple and easy to understand. It made Zhang Zahui feel very enlightened. Then, he admired Boss Jia even more.
In fact, Zhang Zahui also had his advantages. For example, other people used 5% to buy goods, but Zhang Zahui used 6%, which was 1% cheaper than others. This made Zhang Zahui feel very happy.
After Zhang Zahui's speech announced this news, the official voting process began. Then, there was a live vote count. In the end, Zhang Zahui got as high as 98% of the votes and was successfully elected as the chairman of the first Hua Xia Internet Cafe Industry Association. At the same time, the rules of the association that Zhang Zahui had prepared in advance were directly passed.
These rules were actually quite broad. For the shop owners, there were some requirements for safety, fire protection, and prevention of minors. However, these were all just for show.
But for all the shop owners to use the new version of Biri Biri Internet Cafe Management System, the requirements were very strict. The association would send people to do spot checks. Once they found a problem, they would immediately be kicked out of the association without hesitation.
These were all expected conditions, so all the shop owners agreed very quickly. The rules were quickly passed by a show of hands. Finally, the rules were finalized.
Then, the meeting ended. All the shop owners played in Yuzhang for one more day, and then they could take the arranged plane back home.
