Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 121 Judging from the voice, it sounds like my eldest son.

Businessmen are all driven by profit.

Every step they take is calculated. All that emotion, righteousness, and morality is nonsense.

Could it be that Li Baoliang gave away five computers because the sponsorship was very successful?

Cheng Yi quickly denied it.

He likes to think from other people's perspective. If he were Li Baoliang, he would definitely not give five Pentium 4 computers as a gift.

Because there is no benefit in giving it away, this competition is sudden and cannot be replicated.

Besides, even if Momo Internet Cafe holds similar activities in the future, he can still participate. There is no need to give away a gift worth 50,000 yuan for nothing. After all, the cost of the next sponsorship will not be reduced because of this gift, right?

Could it be that Li Baoliang is such a kindhearted person? Knowing that he needed a computer, he immediately sent one to him? Cheng Yi thought to himself.

Cheng Yi originally set up a trap for Li Baoliang. On the day of the final, this trap will explode and teach Li Baoliang and Li Baoliang's stupid son a lesson.

But when Li Baoliang suddenly came to give gifts, Cheng Yi started to feel uneasy.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Even if the business competition is fierce, you still have to leave some room for others.

Li Baoliang took the initiative to show goodwill, which really made him feel a little embarrassed to throw that punch again.

The reason he set up the Tiankeng trap for Li Baoliang was all because of that idiot Li Bing...

Cheng Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Return the computer to him."

"Ah?" Du Yusheng wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Zhang Lingyu was also puzzled and said, "Master, these are five Pentium 4 computers. You must think carefully about this."

"I've thought it through clearly." Cheng Yi said with some pain: "Hey, I want more than these five computers."

Du Yusheng said, "But, but if we return it to him, wouldn't that offend him?"

"Just offend him if he wants to. Just consider it as helping him warm up in advance, so that his heart won't be unable to bear it in a few days." Cheng Yi grinned.

If he accepted the computer and went to deal with Li Baoliang, he would be violating the rules of the underworld.

The business world is like the martial arts world. It doesn’t matter if there are deceptions and schemes, but you still have to follow the most basic rules of the martial arts world. If you can’t even follow these, then you are a bad person.

His dream in this life is to win the title of one of the top ten good people in Handong Province, and he absolutely cannot leave any stain on his resume.

"What? It was returned to us?" The next morning, Li Baoliang was stunned when he looked at the five unopened computers.

He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why.

Even a fool would accept this free gift, right? This isn't bribery. They didn't even mention any conditions.

This is truly a free gift.

At this moment, many thoughts popped up in Li Baoliang's mind, but he still couldn't figure it out.

If a gift is returned, there are only two possibilities: one is that the other party is not in a position to accept the gift, and the other is that you have offended him.

If it is the latter, Momo Internet Cafe should not agree to their outrageous promotional conditions.

If it's the former, then it's worth considering carefully.

Recalling the words of the Handong Commercial Bank official, Li Baoliang murmured, "Who exactly is the owner of this Momo Internet Cafe?"

Li Baoliang glanced at the equally bewildered Manager Ding and asked tentatively, "Do you think our gift is too small?"

"That's a lot! When we visited those high-ranking officials during the New Year, we only got about this much." Manager Ding murmured, "Perhaps it's because of his status that it's inconvenient for him to accept gifts?"

"Maybe." Li Baoliang sighed, "What a pity, such a good opportunity."

"Mr. Li, it's okay. There will always be a chance. Right now, we have the closest relationship with Momo Internet Cafe." Manager Ding said with a smile.

"You're right." Li Baoliang smiled and said, "Sometimes, gifts aren't necessary to build closer relationships. When they were in the quarterfinals, I went there in person to show my support and give them some face!"

In the following days, the round of 32 and the round of 16 came to an end respectively.

The highly anticipated list of the top eight teams finally made it to the front page of Jingzhou Daily.

Division 1 Huaxing Electronics Team 1 VS Division 2 Huanzhu Shaoye Team.

The Hong Kong Style Trend Team from Division Three VS the second team of the Feiyang Team from Division Four.

The third team of Tianxing Training in the fifth competition area VS the Taosheng Yijiu team in the sixth competition area.

The first team of Feiyang Team from Division 7 VS the Momo Internet Cafe Team from Division 8.

The quarterfinals directly adopted a knockout format, with each team playing three games in a best-of-three format.

"Kill them! We must kill them in the quarterfinals!" In Feiyang Internet Cafe, Li Bing looked at the battle schedule in front of him, his eyes red with excitement.

It’s God’s will that their strongest team will face the Momo team in the quarterfinals!

Zhou Rongjun on the side was also a little excited. This competition mechanism is really great.

Divisions 1-4 will determine one spot in the finals.

Divisions 5-8 will determine one spot in the finals.

If both their first and second teams qualify, then just as planned, the first and second place will be taken by Feiyang Internet Cafe.

Zhou Rongjun has already started thinking about how to expand the Internet cafe's territory.

With such huge attention, it wouldn't be excessive for their Feiyang Internet Cafe to expand to the entire city, right?
Thinking of the wonderful point, Zhou Rongjun laughed out loud in his heart.

Zhou Rongjun looked at the people still training and said with a smile, "The quarterfinals will begin tomorrow. Everything depends on you. Everyone, go to bed early today, recharge your batteries, and strive for the decisive battle tomorrow!"

Zhang Wei put down his mouse and laughed, "Don't worry, Boss Zhou. I can't say anything else, but the qualifying spot for Division 1-4 will definitely go to our second team."

Zhou Rongjun nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Okay, keep up the confidence. When you win the first battle, I will give you an extra 1,000 yuan bonus!"

At this time, Meng Tao suddenly said: "Boss Zhou, I have a concern in my heart, and I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

"Concerns? Just tell me." Zhou Rongjun said with a smile, "We are family now, no need to be polite with me."

Meng Tao glanced back at Zhou Rongjun and Li Bing and said, "During the round of 16, I felt that the masked contestant at the Momo Internet Cafe looked familiar. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I felt like I'd seen him somewhere."

Sun Ling also said: "Yes, I had the same feeling, but it was too chaotic at the time and I didn't have the chance to take a closer look."

"Looks familiar?" Zhou Rongjun frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

Meng Tao was about to say something, but then he shook his head and said, "It must be an illusion. I won't say anymore."

Li Bing smiled and said, "Meng Tao, don't feel pressured. Just fight with all your strength. With your strength, you won't find any rivals in Handong Province."

"Yeah." Meng Tao nodded and said no more.

He stood up and said, "If nothing else, let's go back to the hotel and rest."

"Okay." Zhou Rongjun patted Meng Tao's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's up to you guys tomorrow." Li Bing also smiled and said, "You must perform exceptionally well! As long as you win, if Cheng Yi loses my 300,000, I'll give you 10,000."

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Meng Tao smiled and left the Internet cafe with Sun Ling and others.

After leaving the internet cafe, Sun Ling asked in confusion, "Brother Meng, what did you want to say just now?"

Meng Tao frowned and said, "Did you pay attention to the three players at Momo Internet Cafe during the round of 16?"

"I don't really care." Song Hua shook his head and said, "There are so many participating teams, I don't even know which contestant from Momo Internet Cafe is this."

Sun Ling said, "I did take a quick look, but they were wearing masks and hats, so I couldn't see anything."

Meng Tao said in a deep voice: "I think one of them looks like a mynah bird."

"Brother Meng, stop kidding me, damn it." Sun Ling immediately became anxious.

Tang Feng, who had been silent the whole time, also looked shocked and said, "Brother Meng, if you are not sure, don't say anything. This will really damage our morale."

Meng Tao frowned and said, "You haven't played against Bage many times, so it's normal that you don't have much impression of him. I played against him in the championship and runner-up finals."

"If it really is a starling, then what the hell is the point of fighting?" Sun Ling cursed. "We ran from Yantai City to Jingzhou City, and we still ran into a starling? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Wasn't the starling sent to another province by his father?"

"I hope I'm mistaken." Meng Tao sighed, "But you should also be mentally prepared. What if it really is a starling?"

This……

Sun Ling and the other two were silent.

They pride themselves on being very strong, but their strength is totally inadequate when compared to the starling, which is simply a monster.

Sun Ling swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's not scare ourselves. Even if it really is a starling, we will fight it with all our strength tomorrow."

"When I say mentally prepared, I mean what if we lose?" Meng Tao frowned. "If we lose, will Boss Zhou and Li Bing let us off? Putting Boss Zhou aside, it'll be hard for us to get through Li Bing alone. Li Bing bet 300,000 yuan with Momo Internet Cafe."

"Stop talking, Brother Meng! If you keep talking, I won't be able to sleep tonight." Song Hua, who was a little timid, murmured, "Anyway, I don't believe we'll encounter a starling. Our luck can't be that bad."

"Well, let's take it one step at a time." Meng Tao said, "If you really run into any trouble, just follow my lead and don't panic."

"Okay." Sun Ling and the other two nodded.

Early the next morning, Zhou Rongjun and Li Bing drove the seven contestants to Momo Internet Cafe.

This is the quarterfinals, which is incomparable to the previous games.

It was just past 8 o'clock in the morning, but the University Town Commercial Street was already as bustling as it would be during the Spring Festival. Looking around, it was a sea of ​​people.

"It's someone from Feiyang Internet Cafe."

“The pride of our local people!”

"Come on! Feiyang Internet Cafe Team! Love you!"

As soon as Zhou Rongjun and Li Bing got off the car, they received countless cheers.

This feeling was so great that Li Bing stood there, feeling a little intoxicated.

He walked up the steps of Momo Internet Cafe, turned around, waved his hand, and shouted to the crowd, "Don't worry, everyone. I will definitely humiliate Momo Internet Cafe this time. I want them to know that the honor of Jingzhou City cannot be desecrated by anyone!"

"Wow!"

The crowd on the street immediately started cheering.

Faced with this scene, Li Bing wanted to recite a poem.

He resisted the urge to recite poetry and walked into the Internet cafe with Zhou Rongjun and others.

Not long after they entered, an Audi sedan slowly stopped at the entrance of the Internet cafe.

The driver got out and hurriedly opened the back door.

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a pair of shiny leather shoes.

"Who is this? Such a grand ceremony."

"It seems to be Li Baoliang."

"Who is Li Baoliang?"

"Boss of Jingzhou Lianxiang Computer Sales Center, you've never bought a computer before?"

Li Baoliang got out of the car, straightened his neat suit, and put on a smile that only a successful person could smile.

As the godfather of Jingzhou City's computer industry, he came in person to show his support. Doesn't this give Momo Internet Cafe enough face?
You know, all the Internet cafe owners in Jingzhou City regard him as a god because he can decide the direction of Jingzhou City's computer market.

Manager Ding, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hurried into the internet cafe first and said to the two girls greeting guests at the door, "Go in and tell them that General Manager Li Baoliang of Lianxiang Computer is here to visit."

The two girls also sensed that Li Baoliang was unusual, and one of them quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go call our boss right away."

Li Baoliang wore an elegant smile on his face and said, "No need to trouble your boss to come and greet us, just take us there."

"Okay." The girl said quickly, "Please come in."

Li Baoliang walked into the internet cafe with a proud demeanor. His professional instincts forced him to glance at the computers on the first floor. After just one glance, he frowned and said, "What kind of computers are you using at Momo Internet Cafe? Aren't these Pentium 3s?"

The girl quickly laughed and said, "The computers in our internet cafe are all Celeron 1 computers, they run very fast."

"Celeron 1?" Li Baoliang laughed in silence.

You can actually run an internet cafe with this kind of crappy computer? Are you kidding me? Celeron 1 computers are considered junk in Europe and America, and only some less well-off people in Asia and Africa still use them.

However, this was the first time Li Baoliang had seen someone dare to use Celeron 1 to open an Internet cafe.

It seems that only those illegal Internet cafes in rural areas use Celeron 1 computers. No, that's not right. Even those illegal Internet cafes in rural areas mostly use Pentium 2 computers with more stable performance.

"What's going on with this Momo Internet Cafe?" Li Baoliang was a little confused.

"Mr. Li, why don't we go up and take a look first?" Seeing that Li Baoliang had an occupational disease, Manager Ding quickly reminded him.

"Well, let's go up and take a look." Li Baoliang nodded and walked towards the stairs under the guidance of the girl.

As soon as he reached the second floor, he heard an extremely arrogant voice coming from the fourth floor: "If you, Momo Internet Cafe, lose, don't deny your debt to us, okay? Regarding the newspaper apology, you must follow my instructions!"

"Okay, tell me what we should do."

"I want you to publicly apologize on the front page of Jingzhou Daily! Especially you, Cheng Yi! I want you to write in your own handwriting that you are not worthy of being my opponent, and then publish your handwritten apology article on the front page!"

This voice? Li Baoliang was slightly stunned.

He looked at Manager Ding beside him with a shocked expression, and Manager Ding also looked shocked.

This, this voice seems to be from Li Baoliang’s eldest son?
