Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 182 I would like to call him the chief villain of Jingzhou City
Yue Lei said: "These guys are all troublemakers in the major streets. It won't be a problem for them to gather 70 or 80 people."

"Yes, many people can even gather hundreds of people. For example, Wu Fei. His network administrators recruited followers from several nearby vocational schools. They mess around all day long. Those followers from the vocational schools recruited followers from nearby high schools..." Qi Yong smiled helplessly, "I really don't understand the point of them doing this."

Cheng Yi has not only heard of this kind of thing, but has also experienced it.

It's like this at their Dongcang No. 1 Middle School. Many sports and art students at Dongcang No. 1 Middle School are proud of knowing young people in society, and they always ask "who am I following?"

In fact, those "whoms" they mentioned were nothing in the eyes of a big shot like Li Ziqiang. Not to mention those "whoms", even the "whoms" of those "whoms" were only fit to pour wine for Li Ziqiang when he was drinking.

It's like a Russian nesting doll, with layer upon layer, and everyone gets great vanity.

Cheng Yi said: "That's easy, let me tell you my plan first."

"First, force the Tianqin Group to reveal its true strength. The sooner the better. Ideally, we should get them to lower their prices to the lowest within half a month. At the very least, we need to get them to reduce their prices to 0.30 yuan."

"Then why don't we just offer three cents directly?" Qi Yong said.

Cheng Yi looked at Qi Yong helplessly and said, "Boss Qi, when you play Landlord, do you always play the King Bomb first?"

"No." Qi Yong answered calmly.

"That's it. You throw the royal bomb at the beginning. What if they don't follow?" Cheng Yi said, "Will they just sit there and wait for their opponent to kill them?"

"That's right." Qi Yong chuckled.

Cheng Yi continued, "The key to winning or losing in this matter is that they must play the first card. We are only responsible for following. If they play 50 cents, we will follow 30 cents."

"If all our internet cafes offer 30 cents and they insist on 50 cents and refuse to follow, then their internet cafes will be empty. We only lose 1 cent on 30 cents, but they lose all 50 cents. So they will definitely follow us to 30 cents and then continue to fight with us until we can no longer hold on and are eliminated," said Cheng Yi.

"What if they offer 20 cents?" Yue Lei asked again.

"That's up to them." Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Our goal is to lower their low price to less than 50 cents, so that they will lose money."

Qi Yong and Yue Lei still looked at Cheng Yi in confusion.

Cheng Yi added: "Tianqin Internet Cafe is an airborne landing site, and the cost it incurs far exceeds ours. Whether it's rent or the corresponding cost expenditures, it's definitely more than 50 cents."

"That's right. I heard that they paid 110,000 yuan in relocation fees just to move the popular store next door. The cost for a new store like theirs is at least 70 cents." Yue Lei said.

"That's right. Their Internet cafe has suddenly been established, so they must take care of all aspects of it. At the very least, they have to visit all four departments, right?" Qi Yong also said.

"If we calculate it based on 70 cents, and they reduce it to 30 cents, it means a net loss of 40 cents. If they invest 10,000 computers upfront, they will lose nearly 3 million a month." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "In a year, that's 40 million!"

The number Cheng Yi said made Qi Yong and Yue Lei's faces change drastically.

They had not calculated it carefully before and did not know how terrible this price war was. Now that Cheng Yi had calculated it so clearly, Qi Yong and Yue Lei couldn't help but feel terrified.

Forty million? That could buy all their internet cafes!
Qi Yong asked in a trembling voice, "You mean, if we pay 10 cents and they pay 40 cents, we can continue to fight?"

"No." Cheng Yi shook his head and said, "The internet cafe owner here will probably run away after three months of losses."

"Yeah." Qi Yong smiled bitterly, "Anyway, I can only hold out for two months at most. I have 14 internet cafes. If I lose even a dime, I'll lose yuan a month."

"Boss Qi, please don't interrupt. Let Boss Cheng tell you how to deal with it." Yue Lei said anxiously.

Qi Yong nodded quickly and looked at Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi said, "The next step is a tug-of-war. As long as the price of Tianqin Internet Cafe drops to 30 cents, we will mobilize all Internet cafe owners and ask them to send people to Tianqin Internet Cafe to surf the Internet. They will pay for this fee individually, and we will share it among the Internet cafes, with each Internet cafe covering the cost of people."

"Based on 30 people, we need to pay 6000 yuan a month." Cheng Yi said: "This amount of money may seem a lot, but at the same time, as long as we fill up the seats in Tianqin Internet Cafe, we can raise the price to one yuan."

"Compared with the 30 cents at Tianqin Internet Cafe, I'm afraid those users would rather wait at Tianqin Internet Cafe?" Yue Lei said worriedly.

"It will be like this for the first few days, but as long as our people continue to occupy Tianqin Internet Cafe for a few days, these people will gradually choose to surf the Internet in our Internet cafe." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "After all, they used to pay two yuan for Internet access, and now it's one yuan cheaper, so they can probably accept it. It's just like a supermarket promotion. Everyone knows that eggs that cost a few cents a pound are good, but you may not be able to grab them. Most people still have to buy eggs at full price because they eat them every day."

"Right, right, right." Yue Lei also figured this out and said excitedly, "This way, we'll be profitable, and Tianqin Internet Cafe will be losing money every day, hahahaha."

Qi Yong frowned and said, "What if Tianqin Internet Cafe sets a maximum number of hours for each person to use the internet?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Then we can let people circulate in all the Tianqin Internet Cafes. As long as we occupy 70% of their occupancy rate, then the Tianqin Internet Cafes will be left with nothing but empty eyes."

Qi Yong added, "What if Tianqin Internet Cafe also chooses to raise prices?"

"As soon as their price reaches 50 cents, we will immediately withdraw our people and then reduce the price to 30 cents." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "I just said that this is a tug-of-war. The core of this tug-of-war is that we make them lose millions every month while ensuring that we do not lose money or lose as little as possible. This method can expand our scale and shrink theirs, narrowing the financial gap between us."

Qi Yong and Yue Lei thought for a while, and their brows relaxed.

This plan is worth a try!
"Also, if Tianqin Internet Cafe changes its prices three times in a row, we can send people to encourage unsuspecting users to protest and pressure Tianqin Internet Cafe. But be careful not to use force, or deliberately occupy their computer slots, and definitely don't send people to deliberately disrupt their connection by downloading things to slow down their internet speed."

"These methods may be fine against small internet cafes with no background, but if they are used against the Tianqin Group, they will immediately seize the opportunity and label us as bullies, which will result in a prison sentence of 1 to 3 years," Cheng Yi warned.

"I've got it." Qi Yong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. Before Cheng Yi came, he had been planning to use this method to deal with Tianqin Internet Cafe. Now that he thinks about it, he's really scared.

Cheng Yi thought for a moment and said, "Also, when they first lowered the price by three cents, they probably wouldn't have thought too much about it. If they hadn't set a maximum purchase limit for each person, they could have just let us pay anywhere from 100 to 300 yuan to buy a dozen days of internet time."

"When they raise the price, they'll either recalculate the time based on the new price or refund the money. No matter what they do, it's consumer fraud! First, file a complaint with 12315, then report it to the Market Supervision Association and the Industry and Commerce Administration Association. Internet cafe owners like us aren't favored by these departments to begin with, and they won't let go of such a good opportunity. They won't stop until they've completely stripped Tianqin Internet Cafe clean."

"If Tianqin Internet Cafe tries to use connections to resolve this matter, then we'll publish advertisements, condemn them, and apply pressure. Let's see if they can withstand it!"

The more Qi Yong listened, the more frightened he became. He looked at Cheng Yi in shock and said in a trembling voice, "Boss Cheng, you can't treat me like this in the future, okay?"

"And me." Yue Lei also said quickly: "Even if we really did offend you somewhere accidentally, you should tell us before you deal with us. We will apologize if we can, and pay compensation if we can. You can't just treat us like Zhou Rongjun and deal with us without saying a word."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Why would I deal with you? We are friends."

At this time, Qi Yong and Yue Lei looked at Cheng Yi with a hint of fear in their eyes.

This man is too cruel and insidious. Before, they thought that villains were bad people, that is, they were in the eyes of ordinary people. But now when they saw Cheng Yi, they suddenly understood why the ancestors designed a term for villains after designating a term for villains.

These bad guys, at most, just behave improperly and have some bad behavior.

But a villain like Cheng Yi is simply cruel, evil, has no bottom line, and his methods are even more outrageous.

It would be really hopeless to offend such a person.

Thinking of Zhou Rongjun pedaling the sewing machine in prison, Qi Yong and Yue Lei secretly swore in their hearts that they must never offend this guy in front of them.

They would like to call this guy the chief evildoer in Jingzhou City.

Seeing that Qi Yong and Yue Lei understood, Cheng Yi couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This time, he only spoke seven-tenths of the words to Qi Yong and Yue Lei, and kept the remaining three-tenths to himself.

If he were to fight against Tianqin Internet Cafe, he would be confident that the battle could be resolved within a month, but this time the ones fighting against Tianqin Internet Cafe were Qi Yong and his men, so the battle could not end so quickly.

They should be allowed to fight for at least two months, using Qi Yong and his men's funds to wear down the confidence of the Tianqin Group.

After all, sooner or later, their Momo Internet Cafe will have a fierce battle with the Lianjiang Group led by the Tianqin Group, so it would be great if they could make more losses.

"By the way, Boss Cheng, doesn't Tianqin Internet Cafe rent a shop next to your Momo Internet Cafe?" Yue Lei asked curiously at this time.

"I haven't paid attention to this. I'll call and ask." Cheng Yi picked up his phone and called Zhang Lingyu, asking, "Lingyu, are there any new shops rented out next to our Momo Internet Cafe?"

"No," Zhang Lingyu said uncertainly, "I'm not too sure about the branch, but there's definitely none at the main store."

"Call and ask the branch now." Cheng Yi ordered.

"it is good."

Zhang Lingyu hung up the phone. Seven or eight minutes later, she called back and said, "I've asked, no, all the nearby shops are operating normally."

"Ah."

Cheng Yi put away his phone and frowned, "Tianqin Internet Cafe didn't settle down next to my Internet Cafe."

"That's really weird. Logically, Chen Zhi should hate you the most." Yue Lei muttered, "Four of your seven branches are in the northern counties."

Without Yue Lei's words, Cheng Yi also noticed that something was wrong.

This is so weird.

Just as Yue Lei said, when Chen Zhi returns to Jingzhou City this time, the first person he must deal with must be him.

Not only did he destroy Chen Zhi's plan, he also sent Chen Zhi's newly recruited younger brother to a sewing machine training school.

Cheng Yi quickly put his thoughts on Chen Zhi.

If he were Chen Zhi, how would he deal with Momo Internet Cafe?
Soon, he discovered the problem: the Internet cafe business license!

Although the country only promulgated the "Internet Access Service Business Premises Management Regulations" in 2002 to provide legal basis for Internet cafe management, Internet cafe operating licenses have been introduced since 1997.

If they could find the direct relationship with the four departments in charge and make a big fuss about it, their Momo Internet Cafe would be forcibly closed immediately.

"I think Chen Zhi doesn't want to provoke Boss Cheng." Qi Yong said with a smile, "If I were Chen Zhi, I wouldn't provoke Boss Cheng either."

"That's right." Yue Lei agreed very much.

Cheng Yi didn't show any fear and smiled, "I hope so. Boss Qi, Boss Yue, I've said everything I need to say. Just proceed according to the plan. I have other things to take care of, so I'll go back first."

"Okay." Qi Yong and Yue Lei quickly stood up and sent Cheng Yi out of the building where the Internet Cafe Alliance was located.

Watching Cheng Yi riding his bicycle away, Qi Yong couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Cheng is really low-key. He has such a big business, but he still rides a bicycle."

"Yes." Yue Lei also nodded and said, "I heard from my friends at the bank that he is now a major client of Handong Commercial Group."

After leaving the street, Cheng Yi quickly called Yu Sen.

After receiving Cheng Yi's call, Yu Sen said unhappily, "Are you feeling bad about this, so you're calling to apologize?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Yeah, thank goodness Teacher Yu stepped up today, otherwise our move into the research building would have been a failure."

"Stop flattering me. Is there something else you're calling me about?" Yu Sen asked.

Cheng Yi said, "I just want to ask what the status of China Software Group's investment is."

Yu Sen smiled and said, "Their executive meeting has already passed it. I estimate that Huang Ganping will be here the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay." Cheng Yi understood.

Although there are no restrictions on Internet cafe operating licenses now, it is very complicated to apply for. The most important thing is that once you have obtained an Internet cafe operating license, you will almost never be able to obtain a chain Internet cafe license.

In 2003, the first ten companies that applied for licenses were all cultural and communications companies that had nothing to do with Internet cafes. Moreover, five of these ten companies were screened out within less than a year.

There are even rumors in the industry that "it's easy to get a chain internet cafe license but difficult to defend, with more than half of the top ten companies having withdrawn." The reason why it's easy to get a chain internet cafe license but difficult to defend is because of the eight-character principle.

The construction is scheduled within a certain period, with both inflow and outflow.

The four words "preparation and construction within a time limit" are enough to explain that although it is nominally a chain Internet cafe license, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to allow cultural enterprises that are on the right track and have no involvement in Internet cafes to make a major and benign reconstruction and change to the Internet cafe industry. Only non-Internet cafe enterprises can be called prepared for construction, if it is an Internet cafe enterprise, it is called rectification.

As long as you have applied for an Internet cafe operating license, it means that you are an Internet cafe practitioner. How can you let Internet cafe practitioners with a very bad reputation apply for a chain Internet cafe license that is full of cultural atmosphere?
Sorry, you are not eligible for admission.
