Three days later, on the train to Shenzhen City, Comrade Xu was lying on the bed in the sleeper compartment, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Taking a train from Shuiniao City to Shenzhen City takes more than 20 hours, which is a long-distance journey.
This was one of the reasons why he bought the sleeper ticket. Another reason was that this time he was not going to Shenzhen City alone. He was accompanied by Dai Yang, a teacher majoring in computer science at the Naval University.
At this time, Dai Yang was sleeping in his lower bunk.
Dai Yang is a teacher, and Comrade Xu asked him for help this time. Naturally, he had to pay attention to travel and accommodation along the way. This can be regarded as respect for Dai Yang.
As for Dai Yang accompanying him this time, what help can you give him?
Do you still need to ask?
Of course, it was to help him configure the computers needed in the Internet cafe. Although Xu Tongdao himself was not too unfamiliar with the main accessories of computers, after all, he only had a junior high school education before his rebirth and had never studied computers specifically. He was familiar with various current computer accessories.
He didn't know much about its performance, price, and other information.
If he goes to Shenzhen this time and just wants to buy one or two assembly machines, then it doesn't matter. If he goes there, he can just find a larger computer store and ask the clerk to help him install an assembly machine.
Even if there is a problem, it won't be big.
But this time he went to Shenzhen City and wanted to assemble all the computers in an Internet cafe. So, could he still completely listen to the arrangements of the people in the computer store?
What's the difference between holding a drum and playing it for others?
As for how he hired Dai Yang, a teacher majoring in computer science?
It’s actually very simple, just give money!
Who doesn’t want to make more money these days?
It is true that Dai Yang is a computer teacher at the Naval University, but if there is an opportunity to make extra money, he will be interested.
Tongdao Xu didn't even find an intermediary to introduce him. He just went to the computer major of the Naval University and asked a few people to inquire. He found out that Dai Yang was the best teacher in the computer major.
What happens next is simple.
Comrade Xu waited until Dai Yang finished class, stepped forward to stop Dai Yang, and said a few words of compliments. A smile appeared on Dai Yang's face. After following Comrade Xu, he revealed his purpose and invited Dai Yang to go out to dinner and talk in detail.
Dai Yang hesitated slightly and then agreed.
University teachers are different from teachers in junior high schools and high schools. They only have to attend a few classes a week and usually have a lot of spare time. Therefore, many university teachers actually have part-time jobs outside.
Making extra money is a common phenomenon.
While having dinner together, Comrade Xu and Dai Yang had a detailed discussion, and the cooperation was finalized.
Dai Yang didn't have many requests. Apart from a few more words about treatment, the most important requirement was that he would leave on Saturday and be back on Monday night at the latest.
His reason is: In this case, he only needs to take one day off at most.
So, today Comrade Xu went to Shenzhen City with him.
At this moment, Comrade Xu was lying on the bed. Although he was closing his eyes to rest, he was also thinking about something in his mind.
He was thinking about how many computers he could buy when he went to the Shenzhen market this time.
He didn't bring much money with him this time, only a little over 150,000 when he was full.
Most of it was earned from his business. In addition, 20,000 yuan was borrowed from Zheng Qing, and another 10,000 yuan was given by Zhiweixuan for selling whole-sheep banquet technology.
Originally it was more than 150,000.
But the small building I recently rented and the renovations all cost money.
Before he decided to officially leave for Shenzhen City, he had never thought about asking relatives and friends to borrow some. He believed that after opening a barbecue restaurant, he could borrow and repay easily with his cousin. If he spoke again this time,
If you borrow money from them, you should be able to borrow more.
If he promises a higher interest rate than the bank and borrows tens of thousands more, it is possible.
But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up the idea.
He felt it was not necessary for the time being.
He is still not sure how long it will take for his Internet cafe to become popular after he opens it. If he buys too many computers at the beginning, and if not many people go to his Internet cafe in a short period of time, then he will definitely
There will be many computers that are idle all the time.
This is not cost-effective.
It’s better to buy less computers first and try the waters.
When the business of the Internet cafe is good and the computers are not enough, he will definitely have some money on hand. The Internet cafe and barbecue restaurant are continuing to make profits, and the speed of saving money is not slow.
By that time, it would be too late to go to the Shenzhen market, or call directly to place an order and buy a batch of computers.
Moreover, according to his estimation, the desktop computers currently on the market, even complete ones from major brands, only cost a few thousand yuan each. But this time he went to the Shenzhen market to buy an assembled computer, and the price was expected to be cheaper.
About 40%.
Based on this calculation, he should have no problem buying thirty or forty computers with the 150,000 he has.
Thirty or forty computers are enough to open a small Internet cafe.
After thinking about it, Tongdao Xu suddenly felt that it was actually good for him not to rush to big cities after his rebirth.
If he had gone to Shenzhen City, or the magical capital, or the capital city from the beginning, perhaps the profit from catering would be higher at the beginning, but then if he opened an Internet cafe... With the little funds he has, he would probably open an Internet cafe in those big cities.
It's simply not enough to watch.
The main reason is that there are too many wealthy people and too many business people in first-tier cities.
He estimated that there may already be quite a few people opening Internet cafes in Shenzhen, Shanghai, or Beijing.
There may already be many large-scale Internet cafes.
With the little money Comrade Xu has, even if it is doubled, he probably won't be able to make any money in those big cities.
But in Shazhou County and Shuiniao City, there are still not many people like Tongdao Xu who dare to spend 150,000 to 60,000 yuan to open an Internet cafe, which is rare in the market.
This is one of the great benefits of developing in small inland cities.
There are not many strong opponents, which is the biggest advantage.
…
At around 9 a.m. the next day, Tongdao Xu and Dai Yang finally arrived in Shenzhen City.
The two spent the night on the train, which saved them money for a night in a hotel.
Even today's breakfast, they both had it on the train.
After coming out of the train station, the two of them didn't hesitate, took a taxi and went straight to Huaqiangbei.
On the day Comrade Xu first asked Dai Yang to have dinner, they agreed that this time when they came to Shenzhen City, they would go to Huaqiangbei to buy assembly machines.
It is the distribution center for various domestic electronic products. Both the reborn Xu Tongdao and Dai Yang have long heard of this.
When they finally arrived in Huaqiangbei, the two of them walked around and both had big smiles on their faces.
Dai Yang: "Xiao Xu! We are really in the right place, don't you think so?"
Comrade Xu handed him a cigarette, "Yes! I think we can finish the work today. Maybe we can buy a ticket and go back tonight."
Dai Yang took the cigarette and laughed, "Isn't it? We rarely come here once, do we need to be in such a hurry? We have to spend the night here to see the legendary city that never sleeps!"
Comrade Xu said with a smile on his face, "Okay! Then I'll listen to you and leave tomorrow! Let's hurry up and get down to business first. I'll treat Teacher Dai to a big dinner tonight! Let's see the city that never sleeps here."
