"No, I only have 140 computers. Where did 1,300 computers come from? Brother-in-law, you think too highly of me!" said the second brother-in-law.
"Oh, only 140 computers? That's good!" Hearing that the number of computers his second brother-in-law had was less than half of his, Geezer Wang was instantly satisfied.
But soon, a new doubt emerged in his heart. If his second brother-in-law only had 140 computers, then where did the 130,000 yuan come from?
"They said that my system is pirated. They fined me 900 yuan for that computer!" Geezer Wang voiced out his doubts, and his second brother-in-law explained.
"What? Your system is pirated?!" Geezer Wang was shocked again. Since a few years ago, Microsoft began to sue the internet cafes for using pirated Windows systems. Even if the owners of these internet cafes were unwilling, they could only buy the original system.
Fortunately, Xiaomi was established and lowered the price of the original system from 900 yuan to around 200 yuan. They attached it to the computer and sold it to the internet cafes. This allowed the owners of the internet cafes to buy the original system. This also allowed most of the internet cafes to use the original system.
So, Geezer Wang did not expect that his second brother-in-law was using a pirated system!
After asking carefully, Geezer Wang found out that his cheap second brother-in-law was really greedy. He didn't even want to spend 200 yuan more to buy a Xiaomi computer or 300 yuan more to buy a Meiliang computer. Instead, he directly bought a bare computer without any system.
This second brother-in-law actually knew a little about computers, so he specially bought a few pirated system disks and installed them on his own computer. Then, he applied to install the Bili Bili internet cafes management system. Then, he started his business.
In the beginning, because most of the internet cafes in the country were using the original system, Microsoft rarely checked the pirated system of the internet cafes. This allowed his second brother-in-law's internet cafes to operate smoothly for two months, and he even made a lot of money.
But this time, not only did they check the Pangu Axe software, but they also checked the pirated Windows system.
As for the pirated Windows system, the fine was not as cheap as 100 yuan. After all, the original Windows system was sold for 900 yuan. So, it was normal for him to be fined 900 yuan!
As a result, his second brother-in-law, who had installed 140 pirated systems, was facing a 130,000 yuan fine.
How could this guy have the money to pay such a huge fine? Therefore, he directly came to his sister and brother-in-law for help, hoping that they could help him pay the fine.
"You must be dreaming. You've done such a stupid thing, and you still expect me and your sister to subsidize you? Give me back my 100,000 yuan first!" Geezer Wang was angry, and his wife was crying and complaining about the unfairness of the world, and that those who suffered were good people.
"Sister, Brother-in-law, please help me. If I can't pay this fine, then I can only continue to close down. At that time, I won't be able to earn a single cent, and all my money will be wasted! This is our parents' pension money!! "Second Brother-in-law wailed, but Geezer Wang naturally refused.
However, the second brother-in-law obviously knew how to deal with his cheap brother-in-law. He just hugged his sister and cried bitterly.
Sure enough, Geezer Wang's sister quickly stood on Second Brother-in-law's side, and wanted her family to fork out the money to help her brother.
"You still want our family to fork out the money? I already have to pay 23,000 yuan, and you still want me to fork out 140,000 yuan? Do you want us to sell the house?" Geezer Wang said angrily.
"If you want to sell the house, then sell the house. This is my brother's and my parents' pension money. If they don't have this money, then they can only die, and I can only die with them!!" His wife wailed, and for a moment, the whole Internet cafe was filled with howling sounds.
"Well, you all can die, and I will die too. Anyway, I don't have money, but I do have a life!!" Geezer Wang also exploded, and it seemed that the whole Internet cafe was going to be filled with people soon.
Then, Geezer Wang's phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from Xi Jiang Province.
"I don't have any friends from Xi Jiang Province!" Geezer Wang muttered, and then picked up the phone. On the other side of the phone was a pleasant female voice.
"Hello, is this Comrade Wang Zhigui, a member of the Xi Jiang Province Association? I am Xiao Chen, a member of the Internet Cafe Industry Association! "The other party said.
"Geezer Wang, who is this woman? You didn't have an affair outside, right?" His wife, who was still screaming a moment ago, immediately asked vigilantly.
"Don't be noisy, it's official business!" Geezer Wang waved his hand, and then said, "Hello, I am Wang Zhigui. May I know why the association is looking for me?"
"Oh, it's like this. Recently, the country has been cracking down on piracy, right? Our association is very supportive of this, so we want to release a joint statement to the public, and unite all members to support this action, to show that the whole industry is standing together with the anti-piracy movement!" The member said, "If you support our action, then we will add your name to the joint statement!"
"I …" Geezer Wang heard this and wanted to immediately withdraw from the association. It was fine if the association didn't help him, but was this f * cking disgusting?
"I don't care about you …" Geezer Wang said.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. As an association, considering that many members don't understand the dangers of piracy, and at the same time, everyone is spending a lot of money to do their own business, our association has reached an agreement with Xiaomi Computer to make up for everyone's losses. As long as the members sign the joint statement and are fined in this anti-piracy movement, all the fines paid by everyone can be directly converted into shopping vouchers. Each voucher is 1000 yuan, no change. "
"The shopping vouchers can be used to purchase any of Xiaomi Computer's products and spare parts. For every 10,000 yuan product, the limit is a 1000 yuan shopping voucher!" The member said.
"I will definitely support the association, I will sign this!!!!"
"Okay, thank you for your support. I will go first, please mail your fine slip to the association's address. After verification, we will mail the shopping vouchers to you! Thank you for picking up, goodbye! "The other party hung up the phone. Geezer Wang was still somewhat unsatisfied, and there was a slight smile on his face.
In this world, fortune and misfortune were indeed interdependent. He had just been extremely unlucky, and now something good had happened. It actually made up for half of his fine loss.
Although the compensation was in the form of shopping vouchers, for an internet cafe, it was necessary to purchase new spare parts to upgrade the configuration, so these shopping vouchers could be considered as real money.
Thinking that the 23000 yuan fine was actually not much of a loss, Geezer Wang's expression instantly became much better.
However, Geezer Wang quickly saw his second brother-in-law's terrible face.
"Have you joined the internet cafe industry association?" Geezer Wang asked.
"No, I thought this was an association to cheat money!" Second brother-in-law shook his head vigorously.
"Then you better change the name of your internet cafe …" Geezer Wang's mouth revealed a trace of a playful smile.
