Chapter 192: What kind of waves can a group of people who run Internet cafes create?
Zhao Wenxia didn't know why Tian Yisheng suddenly changed his mind. Her voice was a little low as she said, "Okay, then we'll handle it through business means. I'm really sorry to bother President Tian this time. I'll come to thank you another day."
"No, no, it's not a big deal. We're just enforcing the law as normal. Haha, we'll do the same no matter who reports us." Tian Yisheng said with a smile, "Okay, President Zhao, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. I have a meeting here."
"Okay." Zhao Wenxia hung up the phone, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Tian Yisheng's attitude has changed so much that he is like two different people.
Zhao Wenxia has been in the business world for so long that she naturally noticed something.
She stood up and walked to the window, muttering to herself: "Is Handong University really protecting Cheng Yi?"
Zhao Wenxia has also asked acquaintances at Handong University these days and vaguely found out that Cheng Yi knows Lin Shengjie, assistant to Vice President Gao Lipu.
As Gao Lipu's assistant, Lin Shengjie is indeed capable of allowing Tian Yisheng to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers.
"I have to treat Lin Shengjie to dinner someday." Zhao Wenxia thought it over and called Chen Zhi. "Chen Zhi, although President Tian forcibly closed the Momo Internet Cafe, it quickly reopened. President Tian suspects that someone is protecting Cheng Yi. It's most likely the leader of the District Government Affairs Association or Lin Shengjie from Handong University."
"Is this Momo Internet Cafe so difficult to deal with?" Chen Zhi's voice was a little low.
Zhao Wenxia said, "Chairman Tian's point is that we should use normal business methods. I think so too. Whether it's us or Cheng Yi, frequently using leadership relationships will eventually make the leadership impatient. Why don't we just use business methods to squeeze him out? With your financial resources and my help, can't you destroy a small Momo Internet Cafe?"
Chen Zhi sneered, "Of course I didn't take Momo Internet Cafe seriously. It's just that the group company only approved 100 million yuan for my Jingzhou City entry plan. I originally wanted to use Momo Internet Cafe as a warning to others. Once Momo Internet Cafe, the leader, falls, other Internet cafes won't have the energy to resist. This will achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting."
"Your plan is indeed a good one, but plans can't keep up with changes. President Chen and President Tian have already tried their best to help, but with little success. You should abandon this plan and act now." Zhao Wenxia said, "With my connections, President Chen and President Tian will also secretly help you."
"Okay," Chen Zhi said. "But if we go the commercial route, I won't be able to deal with Momo Internet Cafe. Our group's strategy is to advance from north to south. We'll first suppress the internet cafes in the northern counties, and then force the internet cafes in the southern counties to return to the negotiating table. This time, our goal is to recapture them, not to kill them."
Zhao Wenxia smiled and said, "You can decide this. Just tell me directly if you need me to do anything."
At this time, Cheng Yi and others also rushed to the Handong Hotel.
Liu Guiwu was in a bad mood. Chen Wenyu thought he was a little tired after the long journey, so he arranged for a waiter to take Liu Guiwu to the hotel room to rest.
The others came to the VIP lounge of Jingzhou Hall.
The Handong Hotel has a total of 26 halls, all of which are named after prefecture-level cities and county-level cities. Each hall is very luxurious.
The most luxurious of them is Jingzhou Hall.
Although the furnishings and layout of Jingzhou Hall are not as good as the reception hall of Handong Hotel, it is much better than that of ordinary hotels.
"Vice President Gao, Director Cao, Boss Cheng, please come sit down." Chen Wenyu picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "I was deceived before, which led to some friction between us. Before we begin, I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to everyone."
Hearing what Chen Wenyu said, Gao Yang and the other two quickly stood up.
Gao Yang said, "President Chen, you are too serious."
Cheng Yi also said: "President Chen, you and President Gao are both enforcing the law impartially. How can you apologize? This matter is caused by my youthful recklessness. I am the one who should be punished."
Cheng Yi picked up the tea and drank it all, then said, "I hope President Chen and President Gao will supervise and encourage me in the future. I was young and naive, and I handled many things too radically and roughly, which led to such a big misunderstanding."
Cheng Yi's words clearly resolved the awkwardness between Gao Yang and Chen Wenyu. Gao Yang smiled and said, "Boss Cheng is right. Actually, this is all caused by the lack of communication between our departments."
Chen Wenyu laughed and said, "That's right, then we should communicate well in the future."
After everyone chatted for a while, Cheng Yi asked, "President Chen, I heard that our Jingzhou City has built an e-commerce demonstration park?"
Chen Wenyu smiled and said, "Yes, this is the focus of our Information Industry Association's work this year."
"Is e-commerce widely accepted now? Do you have a shopping website?" Cheng Yi asked.
Cheng Yi doesn't know much about the e-commerce industry. He only knows that eBay is the dominant player in China. The transaction model is auction, and the payment method is remittance slip. The remittance slip is sent to eBay, and after eBay receives the payment, it will transfer the money to the seller. This process is very cumbersome and it takes at least fifteen days to complete the transaction.
"Shopping website?" Chen Wenyu was stunned and said, "Our e-commerce business is to promote online and then let buyers purchase offline."
"Oh, I see." Cheng Yi suddenly realized.
Then it is still the corporate yellow pages model.
In fact, this model is a healthy e-commerce development model. The Internet industry boosts traditional industries, and traditional industries feed back to the Internet industry, thus forming a perfect economic system.
Just as Cheng Yi and Chen Wenyu were inquiring about the details of e-commerce, trucks loaded with computers slowly drove into the warehouse base of Jingzhou Lianxiang Computer Sales Center.
Looking at the ten large trucks, Li Baoliang looked worried. He said to a middle-aged man next to him who looked very wealthy, "Boss Jiang, we are only responsible for providing computers to Chen Zhi, right?"
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged man glanced at Li Baoliang.
Li Baoliang said stubbornly, "Boss Jiang, although Chen Zhi is our big client, he's going up against the entire Jingzhou internet cafe community. If we help Chen Zhi deal with these local internet cafe owners, it's fine if he wins, but what if he loses? Will I still be able to work in Jingzhou? They're all big clients for computer sales."
"What kind of waves can a group of people who run Internet cafes make?" The middle-aged man laughed.
Li Baoliang said: "I think it's better to be cautious."
The middle-aged man sneered, "Li Baoliang, I find you're becoming more and more cowardly. Who is Chen Zhi? If he loses to a few crappy internet cafe owners, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself."
Li Baoliang looked at the middle-aged man and fell silent.
This was Jiang Hong, the Handong Province regional manager for Lianxiang Computers. He was well-known in Handong's IT community. A few days ago, Chen Zhi contacted Jiang Hong directly to place an order for 3 Pentium computers.
Such a big order made Jiang Hong excited.
That’s eight thousand units, which is equivalent to completing his two-month performance target.
In May this year, their group's CEO Yang Yuanqing announced to the media that the group's goal for 2001 was to sell 470 million PCs. This huge goal made all the group's regional managers act like crazy.
The target of 470 million units may seem small compared to the total computer sales of 2000 million units worldwide in 1.3, but for the domestic market, this number is already terrifying.
The total domestic computer sales in 2000 was only 600 million units.
Li Baoliang originally thought that Jiang Hong was only providing computers, but he didn't expect that Jiang Hong, out of gratitude or other purposes, was actually planning to help Chen Zhi wipe out the Internet cafe industry in Jingzhou City while providing computers.
To this end, Jiang Hong secretly mobilized two thousand computers in the name of Handong District, intending to cooperate with Chen Zhi to launch a powerful crush on the Internet cafes in Jingzhou City.
He specifically selected ten target Internet cafes and planned to relocate their Feiyang Internet Cafe branches next to these ten Internet cafes, and then expand the number of computers in each Feiyang Internet Cafe to 400.
Jiang Hong's plan was perfect. He planned to turn the Internet cafe into a computer testing area. Each computer would only stay in the Internet cafe for ten days, and then other franchisees would repackage it and continue to sell it as new computers, and then deliver another batch of computers.
In this way, the ten Feiyang Internet cafes became ten computer testing transit stations. He did not invest in any computers, but simply increased the number of computers in the ten Feiyang Internet cafes to 400.
Anyway, the annual computer sales volume in their Handong region is around 80,000 units, so the small transfer of 2,000 computers will not affect the overall situation at all.
"Li Baoliang, I'll leave this matter to you." Jiang Hong said with a smile, "Once Chen Zhi takes over Jingzhou City, the computer sales of your sales center will definitely reach a new level."
Li Baoliang frowned and said, "Boss Jiang, I can't do this. You should find someone else."
"Can't do it?" Jiang Hong looked at Li Baoliang seriously and said, "Give me a reason first."
Li Baoliang said in a deep voice, "Boss Jiang, we don't need to get involved in this matter. This way, we can still make money from Chen Zhi and the other internet cafes. This is the safest way. I think we should make money in harmony when doing business."
"You have a typical peasant mentality." Jiang Hong snorted coldly, "You're no longer a small trader, you're now an A-level agent of our Lianxiang Group! Think about it carefully. If we help Chen Zhi expand the market, we will be his partners. Then, all the computers Chen Zhi needs will come from us. Lianjiang Group's internet cafe business is expanding rapidly. If they only give us 10% of the business, it will be enough for both of us to stay flat."
Li Baoliang said, "Mr. Jiang, these are just your imaginations, not Chen Zhi's promises. Furthermore, if all the internet cafes in Jingzhou City were under Chen Zhi's name, he'd probably try to undercut us on price. He's a businessman, not a philanthropist. A monopoly would only do us harm."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Jiang Hong said angrily, "I'm just helping someone when they need it most!"
"There are risks in providing timely assistance. Otherwise, why would the banking industry only add icing on the cake?" Li Baoliang still wanted to try to persuade Jiang Hong.
But now Jiang Hong only wanted to curry favor with Chen Zhi, and he simply ignored Li Baoliang's advice.
After all, if Chen Zhi wants to destroy those old and dilapidated Internet cafes with his size, it would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, and there would be no suspense at all.
Jiang Hong snorted coldly, "I know what you're thinking. You think that Chen Zhi's acquisition of Jingzhou's internet cafe industry will lead to a massive expansion of computers and lower internet fees, affecting your personal computer business in Jingzhou, right? Li Baoliang, those who accomplish great things must be both attentive to details and possess a spirit of dedication."
"That's just one of the reasons," Li Baoliang whispered. "Another reason is that I think Chen Zhi will lose! If Chen Zhi loses, the Jingzhou Internet Cafe Alliance will definitely take revenge."
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Hong laughed heartily as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Chen Zhi will lose? He will lose to that Jingzhou Internet Cafe Alliance? That seems to be a non-governmental organization, right? I guess they haven't even registered with the civil affairs department, right?"
"The rotating chairman of the Jingzhou Internet Cafe Alliance is Cheng Yi," Li Baoliang said seriously, "If you underestimate him, you'll definitely fall flat on your face."
"Alright." Jiang Hong said impatiently, "Since you're still making excuses, I'm too lazy to say anything. You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll find someone else to take charge. But let me make it clear first, when Chen Zhi takes over Jingzhou City, he will skip your Jingzhou City Sales Center when restocking."
"Okay." Li Baoliang agreed readily and said, "Mr. Jiang, please take these ten trucks away and store them in another warehouse. I don't want the Jingzhou Internet Cafe Alliance to think I have anything to do with this."
"What a coward." Jiang Hong couldn't help but curse, and turned away with an angry look on his face.
Li Baoliang was not angry. He watched Jiang Hong leave and couldn't help sighing and shaking his head.
Looking at Jiang Hong’s confident back, he looks so much like myself some time ago.
He will definitely not get involved in anything involving Cheng Yi.
It is enough for a person to fall into the same pit once. If he falls into the same pit twice, he is a complete fool.
He is not Jiang Hong's subordinate. Besides, he earned this A-level agent position through his own ability, and even Jiang Hong cannot take it away.
Even at the Lianxiang Group’s annual meeting, A-level agents always sit in the front rows.
After waiting until the ten trucks left, Li Baoliang quickly called Cheng Yi and said, "Mr. Cheng, I have something to tell you."
Li Baoliang entrusted the whole matter to Cheng Yi and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, selling computers this year is so tiring. If it doesn’t work out, I might as well change my career.
In the Jingzhou Hall of Handong Hotel, Cheng Yi put away his mobile phone, his eyes full of smiles.
That’s great. He was worried that Chen Zhi wouldn’t be able to hold on for two months. Now he has the help of Jiang Hong, which is great.
Fight, the more intense the better.
