Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 120 Vision and Pattern
Early the next morning, many people arrived at Momo Internet Cafe. Every team has supporters, especially the Internet cafe team. Every Internet cafe has a large number of old customers. These old customers naturally tend to favor the team in their Internet cafe. When they see the team they support lose, they all want to know how the team lost.

Their curiosity also prompted them to become members of Momo Internet Cafe.

There is no way, business is too hot, and non-members are not accepted for the time being.

At the same time, with the large-scale promotion in Jingzhou Daily, the popularity that had been declining immediately reached a new climax. Zhao Gang, following Cheng Yi's suggestion, directly added the title of editor-in-chief of Toutiao Forum to the title of editor-in-chief of Jingzhou Daily, which further increased the exposure of Toutiao.

Yesterday's list of the top 64 and today's results in multiple regions first increased the sales of Jingzhou Daily by 11 points, and then the visitor rate of Toutiao increased by more than 80%, with the number of visitors soaring from 13 to more than 20.

Although the sales of Jingzhou Daily only increased by 11 points, this was enough to make the top management of Jingzhou Daily dance with joy.

This is 11 points, which may not seem like much, but if calculated based on Jingzhou Daily's daily sales of more than 120 million, this is equivalent to an increase of 13 sales.

These 13 sales all came from the young group they most wanted to develop but were unable to!

However, in the eyes of the top management of Jingzhou Daily, all this was the credit of Editor-in-Chief Zhao Gang and had little to do with Momo Internet Cafe.

After attending the celebration banquet held by Jingzhou Newspaper Group, Zhao Gang called Cheng Yi in a drunken state.

As soon as Cheng Yi answered the phone, Zhao Gang burst into tears.

He poured out all the grievances he had suffered over the years to Cheng Yi while drunk.

At first, Cheng Yi tried to comfort him with a few words, but later he kept talking on and on, so Cheng Yi became too lazy to listen.

He placed his phone next to the computer and let Zhao Gang talk from the day of his graduation to his rapid rise to fame today.

Cheng Yi hung up the phone only after hearing the sound of deep sleep from the other end.

While Zhao Gang was chattering for an hour, Cheng Yi took a look at the financial statements provided by Huang Wenrong. Huang Wenrong's statements were very beautiful, and the income and expenditure records were clear at a glance.

He also made clear charts showing the membership growth rate of Momo Internet Cafe and the visitor growth rate of Toutiao.

Now the number of registered members of Momo Internet Cafe has exceeded 100,000, and the number of recharged members has reached more than 14,000.

In addition to the huge increase in sales of Momo Internet Cafe and Jingzhou Daily, as the largest advertising exposure party of this competition, Li Baoliang also made a lot of money. In just less than a week, their computer sales increased by nearly one-fold, allowing Li Baoliang to truly feel the huge dividends of the Internet sector.

"The sales volume is so high now. By the time the finals come, the sales volume will be explosive." Li Baoliang stood in the store and began to imagine the days of counting money.

What is precise traffic? This is precise traffic!

Who in Jingzhou City still doesn’t know the name of Lianxiang Computer?
The three hundred thousand dollars was totally worth it! This sponsorship was the wisest decision of his life.

Li Baoliang finished his cigarette with a smug look on his face and said to the store manager, "How much stock do we have left in the warehouse?"

"There are still 3 Pentium 417 computers, and Pentium 4 computers... and more..." The store manager began to hesitate.

"Don't you know how many computers you have? Why are you hesitating?" Li Baoliang said impatiently, "I'm warning you, don't ruin my good mood."

The store manager swallowed and said, "There are 76 more."

"76?" Li Baoliang frowned slightly and said, "There haven't been many Pentium 4 computers shipped lately, right? I remember ordering 130."

Seeing the nervous look on the store manager's face, Li Baoliang immediately became angry. He grabbed the store manager's collar and angrily said, "Well, did you embezzle the money?"

"Boss Li, how dare I say that?" The store manager shuddered with fear and said in a trembling voice, "These are the numbers Supervisor Zhou reported to me. I'm just telling the truth."

Li Baoliang pushed the store manager aside, took out his cell phone, called warehouse supervisor Zhou Peng, and said, "Manager Zhou, come to the store immediately."

Soon, a Xiali car stopped at the door of the sales center, and a fat middle-aged man ran in panting.

Li Baoliang glared at Zhou Peng and said, "What's going on with the Pentium 4 computers in the warehouse?"

Zhou Peng hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Yes, Xiaobing asked to borrow it and return it in a few days. I, I agreed."

"Xiao Bing?" Li Baoliang suppressed his anger and asked, "How much did you borrow?"

"Thirty, thirty units." Zhou Peng said in a low voice without daring to raise his head.

"Thirty units?" Li Baoliang said in a deep voice, "You can do it, Zhou Peng. You didn't even write a report for such a large shipment. Can you move the things in my warehouse as you please in the future?"

Zhou Peng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Boss Li, I didn't handle this matter properly. I accept the punishment."

Seeing that Zhou Peng did not shirk responsibility, Li Baoliang's anger subsided a little.

Thirty Pentium 4 computers were nothing to Li Baoliang, and these computers were borrowed by his son. His anger now made him seem mean.

Li Baoliang said with a gloomy face: "I'll deduct half a month's salary from you first. If this happens again, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship." "Yes, I will definitely not do it again." Zhou Peng promised while wiping the sweat off his face.

Li Baoliang asked coldly, "Do you know what Xiaobing did with those computers?"

"I don't know. I only know that the computers were sent to the University Town branch of Handong Commercial Bank."

"?" Li Baoliang was slightly stunned and frowned, "What are you sending it there for?"

Zhou Peng said: "Is it because of the welcome party?"

"Oh, yes, that's possible." Li Baoliang nodded slowly and said, "He did mention to me about sponsoring their university welcome party, but he just wanted to use the sponsorship to chase women. He was too unpromising, so I didn't agree."

Zhou Peng smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Xiaobing has actually worked very hard."

"Humph, this guy is getting more and more boastful. Let's not talk about him for now." Li Baoliang frowned and said, "Manager Ding, the day after tomorrow, please go to Momo Internet Cafe with some gifts. They've given us such a big honor, we should thank them."

Manager Ding laughed and said, "Boss Li, didn't we give them 300,000 yuan?"

Li Baoliang said, "Three hundred thousand is three hundred thousand, but they can let us advertise it at will. This is not a matter of three hundred thousand. The business world is like a small world, and we still have to maintain social etiquette."

"I understand. I will go there early the day after tomorrow. But what gift should I bring?" asked Manager Ding.

Li Baoliang thought for a moment and said, "Let's just take five Pentium 4 computers."

"Such an expensive gift?" Manager Ding was slightly surprised.

Li Baoliang smiled and said, "Yesterday, a senior executive of Handong Commercial Bank accidentally revealed something to me."

Manager Ding looked at Li Baoliang curiously, and then he heard Li Baoliang say, "That executive said there's a big background behind Momo Internet Cafe, but when I pressed him, he didn't dare to say anything further."

"How is that possible?" Manager Ding said with a wry smile, "Would someone with a strong background open an internet cafe?"

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, what he said might be true. Which Internet cafe's competition can get such great support from Jingzhou Daily? Let alone a shabby Internet cafe, even if we organize a competition, do you think we can ask Jingzhou Daily to open a separate page to follow up on the report?" Li Baoliang asked.

Manager Ding fell silent.

Yes, they had organized a Jingzhou City High School Programming Competition before, and spent so much money, but the Jingzhou Daily just published a random news item.

Li Baoliang said: "Five computers are not a lot. If it can bring us closer to Momo Internet Cafe, any more is worth it."

Li Baoliang laughed proudly and said, "Haha, I've been in business for twenty years, and this time I finally made a good bet. Even the executives of Handong Commercial Bank dare not reveal the power behind this Momo Internet Cafe. This background is really extraordinary. Maybe we can also take advantage of this fortune to soar to the sky."

Manager Ding complimented him, "Boss Li's vision and vision are unmatched in Jingzhou's business community."

Manager Ding's compliment made Li Baoliang even more proud.

During the days of the top 64 competition, Li Xiang was working day and night. In just a few days, they assembled more than 800 computers.

Zhao Gang, Du Yusheng and others were guarding the competition, so it was not Cheng Yi's turn to do anything. Taking advantage of the free time of these few days, he and Sun Baxin brought seven or eight network administrators to travel back and forth between various districts, and successively set up Internet cafe branches in four districts.

On Saturday, the list of the top 32 teams was finally released.

Among the top 32 teams, there are as many as 22 local teams, which makes the locals proud.

Just as Cheng Yi expected, as soon as the list of top 32 contestants was released, many chess and card rooms started small-scale gambling.

This harmless small-scale gambling also gave many citizens a strong sense of participation, making the popularity of the competition reach its peak since the beginning of the competition.

In the evening, Cheng Yi and Sun Baxin had just stretched out their exhausted bodies on the sofa in the tea room when Du Yusheng and Zhang Lingyu walked in. Du Yusheng was the first to say, "Boss, Li Baoliang sent someone to deliver a gift."

"What kind of gift is this?" Cheng Yi asked puzzledly.

Du Yusheng said, "They gave us five Pentium 4 computers as a gift, saying they were thanking us for our tolerance this time."

"Tolerance?" Cheng Yi was confused.

This is a sponsorship that is mutually agreed upon, so how can we talk about tolerance?
Du Yusheng said, "The person who came this time is the manager of their main store. His surname is Ding, and he should be of a very high status. The person who came to discuss sponsorship last time accompanied him all the way."

"Did he say anything else?" Cheng Yi asked.

Du Yusheng said: "He said he still wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with us and asked when we were free so that they could send a car to pick us up to visit their main store."

"What on earth is Li Baoliang planning?" Cheng Yi frowned slightly.
