Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 271 Computers, 158600! (Third Update)

As Cheng Yi walked off the stage, the host immediately ran up to the stage and began to control the situation, shouting, "Thank you, President Cheng, for your wonderful speech. Now we're moving on to the highlight of this event. Momo Group has specially invited the rising star of Chinese pop music, Ren Xianqi..."

But no matter how loud the host's voice was, the people in the audience did not show any sign of quieting down. Instead, they kept shouting for them to be registered quickly.

What about the little kings or big kings of the music industry? Does earning 450 million really matter?

"Should I still go on?" Ren Xianqi, who was standing in the dressing room next to the stage, was a little dumbfounded. He glanced at Su Duo beside him and felt that his presence was a bit redundant.

He had never encountered such a chaotic scene before?
Su Duo rolled her eyes at Ren Xianqi and said, "You've already taken the 80 yuan. Tell me, are you going to go up?"

Ren Xianqi took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said, "Let me give it a try. Come on, Music!"

A burst of melodious music sounded, and Ren Xianqi jumped onto the stage and shouted loudly: "Friends from Handong Province, how are you?"

“…” No one responded.

"Oh!" Even though he looked a little socially awkward, Ren Xianqi still maintained a steady stage presence. He waved his hands and kept making various sounds into the microphone to the rhythm of the music, trying to draw the audience's attention to him.

But still not many people responded. At this time, everyone was staring at Cheng Yi on the side of the stage. As long as Cheng Yi nodded, they would rush up to sign up.

"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted."

"I cried alone until dawn!"

In desperation, Ren Xianqi could only sing to himself.

He was indeed too soft-hearted. If he had been a little harder, he would have gone down and smashed the heads of these people.

After Ren Xianqi finished singing "Heart Too Soft", he ran off the stage as if escaping, and said he would not go on stage to sing the second song no matter what.

He wants to wait until this illegal fundraising activity is over before singing!
Seeing that these people had lost the mood to even listen to Ren Xianqi's singing, Cheng Yi felt that the time was almost right. He strode onto the stage and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet and return to your seats. Since you are so impatient, I will arrange for the etiquette staff to go around and register your information one by one. Please fill in the number of Internet cafes you want to operate, your name, and your mobile phone number. After the event, we will send someone to contact you."

Cheng Yi clapped his hands, and immediately 20 etiquette ladies walked into the Golden Hall with paper and pen and began to collect everyone's information.

After more than ten minutes, the information was finally counted. After the counting was completed, the etiquette ladies immediately counted the number of information sheets they were responsible for and filled in the information sheet at the bottom.

Looking at the number of Internet cafes filled in on the 20 forms, Cheng Yi did a simple calculation and found 793.

This is equivalent to 158600 computers.

This number of computers is enough to change the Internet cafe industry in Handong Province.

Most importantly, Momo Internet Cafe now needs a large number of Pentium 3 computers to build high-priced VIP areas.

One million a year is indeed a loss based on the current income of Internet cafes. However, if games such as Momo Legend are taken into account, the situation will be completely different.

If Momo Internet Cafe only relies on profits to purchase computers, it will take at least a year to collect all 15 computers.

It would be better to give up this year's profits and treat it as an interest-free loan.

Cheng Yi walked onto the stage with the list and said with a smile, "Okay, the information has been compiled. Congratulations to everyone on becoming partners of Momo Internet Cafe! Now let me tell you a few things to note. First, the shop must be leased for six years at a time! Second, the number of computers must be 200! Third, they must have a Pentium 3 processor, 128GB of RAM, 32GB of video memory, and a 40GB hard drive. Remember, it must be this configuration, no higher and no lower. If a Pentium 4 computer appears in your Internet cafe, it means you have given up on this cooperation."

The people in the audience didn't understand Cheng Yi's words at all.

Is this Pentium 4 computer really that bad?

"Okay, now let's give a warm round of applause to welcome our king of music, Mr. Ren Xianqi!" Cheng Yi shouted loudly.

The audience applauded loudly, and a group of middle-aged women waved their arms and shouted, "Ren Xianqi, I love you."

I love you so much... Ren Xianqi was almost crying with anger.

You ignored me just now, but now you say you love me with a broken heart.

A woman’s mouth is a liar!
Ren Xianqi adjusted his mood, quickly stepped onto the stage, and sang loudly:

"Let me grieve, let me regret, let me hate the heavens, but you don't understand."

“Let me suffer, let me be tired, I will just float freely in the wind and across the world.”

"Ahhh, Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!"

"I love you the most."

"I'm dying. I'm dying."

At this moment, Ren Xianqi finally regained his lost confidence.

Cheng Yi stayed in the venue for a while, suddenly thought of something, and immediately stood up and walked towards the main entrance of the Blue Sea Hotel.

He remembered that he still had trouble with Wu Tao to deal with.

Now that their event is about to end, Wu Tao has invited so many bigwigs over. Can he resist showing up?
This is just like a murderer who likes to go to the crime scene to watch. How can he satisfy his own pleasure without going to the scene to take a look?

If Wu Tao comes to instigate him now, wouldn't the relationship he has worked so hard to build with Pan Sicong and others be disrupted by Wu Tao?

"Mr. Cheng." Seeing Cheng Yi coming over, Bai Yiheng, who was guarding the door, immediately stood up with a flattering smile on his face.

Cheng Yi said, "Don't let anyone in later. We've booked this hotel, especially a guy named Wu Tao. No matter what excuse he makes, you must keep him out."

"Okay, Mr. Cheng." Bai Yiheng nodded immediately and asked, "Should we be gentle or rough?"

"Try to be gentle." Cheng Yi said: "After all, he invited so many leaders for me, I have to do him a favor."

"I understand." Bai Yiheng understood.

Try to be gentle, the implication is that you can also be a little rough.

At 11:30, Chen Hui, sitting in a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle in the Blue Ocean Hotel parking lot, looked at the main entrance of the Blue Ocean Hotel and asked in confusion, "Senior, why haven't those people you invited come out yet? Are they really having a meeting?"

Wu Tao frowned and said, "Impossible. All activities will have a detailed seating chart for the first two rows. We're most afraid of this kind of situation where a leader suddenly appears. I've invited eight important people to the meeting this time, so their venue is bound to be in chaos."

Chen Hui looked at his watch and said, "But it's almost time for dinner."

"It's a bit strange indeed. I'll go in and see what's going on." Wu Tao's tone was a little low. Under normal circumstances, the big guys he invited would have already run out in frustration, but the current situation was indeed a bit strange.

He had put in a lot of effort to invite these eight big guys, as these were almost all of his connections in Handong Province.

Wu Tao opened the door and got out of the car, saying, "Just stay in the car to avoid unnecessary complications."

"Okay." Chen Hui nodded and said, "Senior, you have to be careful. I heard that Cheng Yi likes to beat people up."

"Hit someone? I'd give him three guts." Wu Tao sneered and strode into the security gate.

"Hello, sir. Admission to our event is suspended." The etiquette lady in charge of registration stood up and bowed.

Wu Tao didn't even look at the etiquette lady and rushed in aggressively.

Seeing this, Bai Yiheng, who was in charge of maintaining order at the door, immediately brought a few security personnel to stop Wu Tao at the door. Bai Yiheng looked at Wu Tao and asked, "Brother, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Wu Tao didn't take Bai Yiheng seriously at all and said, "Get out of my way. This is none of your business."

Bai Yiheng's face darkened. He put a hand on Wu Tao's shoulder and said in a fierce voice, "Boy, if this had happened two months ago, I would have made you eat your words back."

Wu Tao pushed Bai Yiheng's hand aside and said word by word, "Don't talk nonsense to me. I am Wu Tao."

Bai Yiheng looked at Wu Tao and grinned, "So your name is Wu Tao?"

"?" Wu Tao felt Bai Yiheng's unfriendly gaze and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Bai Yiheng put a hand on Wu Tao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go find a place to have a good chat."

"?" Wu Tao wanted to struggle, but found that Bai Yiheng was extremely strong and he couldn't break free from Bai Yiheng's restraints at all.

Bai Yiheng took Wu Tao to a private room and confiscated his phone. Then, looking at him seriously, he said, "One of our attendees just said you stole one of their phones. Is that the one you stole?"

Wu Tao was still a little angry at first, but soon, the anger in his eyes slowly disappeared.

He looked at Bai Yiheng and said calmly, "Did Cheng Yi tell you to do this?"

Bai Yiheng said angrily, "Don't throw dirty water on our CEO Cheng. Don't worry, once the person involved finds the phone, we will let you go."

Wu Tao was so angry at Bai Yiheng's lame excuse that he laughed and said, "This is called illegal detention, do you understand?"

"Stop trying to scare me! I know the law better than you do," Bai Yiheng said. "Unlawfully detaining someone more than three times, each time for more than four hours, or for a cumulative total of more than twelve hours, is illegal detention. We're controlling the scene and waiting for the person involved to come and confront you."

"Okay." Wu Tao smiled. He lay on the chair and said, "I'm doomed today, but tell Cheng Yi that the grudge between him and me is impossible to resolve."

"I don't even know what you're talking about." Bai Yiheng said, "Luckily you're a smart person, otherwise you'd be in big trouble this time."

"I guess you will let me go after they finish lunch?" Wu Tao said with a smile.

"I told you not to leave until the person involved has found their phone," Bai Yiheng reiterated. "Don't let your imagination run wild. If you're bored, I'll find you a book. Is there anything you'd particularly like to read?"

"The monk Dengcao." Wu Tao replied.

"President Pan, I offer you a toast and wish you..."

"Principal Gao, I..."

At the dinner table, Cheng Yi held a specially made 'red wine' and toasted everyone around the table one by one. As the glasses clinked, the relationship between everyone present became much closer.

After Cheng Yi finished his toast and sat down, Jia Jingming, vice president of the Handong Provincial Industry and Commerce Administration Association, said slightly drunkenly, "Mr. Cheng, your Momo Group has become very famous recently. I think you will definitely become the largest IT company in Handong Province."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for the good words from President Jia."

Jia Jingming said: "But I suggest that you change the company's registered place to the Cayman Islands. If you are willing, I can help you. I have operated several companies."

"The province still supports this?" Cheng Yi was stunned.

Jia Jingming sighed, "Of course we support it. Which province doesn't want to support a world-renowned IT company? You're an IT company, and IT companies naturally have to take a long-term view. Changing your registered place of business to the Cayman Islands will make listing and financing much easier. How does that song go? Even though I'm wearing a Western dress, my heart is still with my motherland."

Jia Jingming said, "Think about it. If you've made up your mind, call me. If your IT company doesn't move to the Cayman Islands, you won't be able to do any international business. Even the software you develop won't be able to go abroad."

Jia Jingming's tone was full of helplessness. He didn't say it explicitly, but Cheng Yi heard his voice-over.

This is a blockade of IT technology.

This is not only aimed at Chinese companies, but also at all developing countries.

"Brother Cheng, you're absolutely right to listen to Chairman Jia when it comes to industry and commerce." Li Chengxuan said with a smile, "He knows much more than you do."

"Thank you for the reminder, President Jia. I'd like to offer another toast to President Jia." Cheng Yi picked up the 'wine' glass and drank it all in one gulp.

He was originally planning to move Momo Group to the Cayman Islands and was worried that the province would not approve it. He never expected that the province would strongly support it. This was indeed something he had not expected.

No wonder almost all IT companies have moved their registered locations to the Cayman Islands.

This is like poor parents who know they cannot support their children. In order to let their children grow up, they can only choose to give their children to others for adoption.

This kind of helplessness and sadness can probably only be understood by those who have experienced it.

The drinking party lasted until after two o'clock in the afternoon and finally ended. Cheng Yi sent Li Chengxuan and others to the car, and the drunkenness on his face immediately disappeared.

"It was a perfect job!" Cheng Yi smiled as he watched Li Chengxuan and others drive away.

Back at the hotel, Bai Yiheng immediately came over and whispered, "Boss Cheng, that Wu Tao is still locked up in room 104. Do you want to go see him?"

"Lead the way, I'll go get to know him." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "I've only heard of him, but I haven't met him yet."

"This way." Bai Yiheng quickly brought Cheng Yi to the door of private room 104. Cheng Yi pushed open the door and saw Wu Tao, who was already showing impatience. He said with a guilty look, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, the quality of our security personnel is too low. Sorry, sorry."

"Cheng Yi?" Wu Tao stared at Cheng Yi, stood up and said, "Yes, we have met."
