Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 86 When doing business, honesty is the key.

The next morning, Cheng Yi started writing the forum code after dinner.

In this era, there are no source code templates that can be applied, so you can only type it by hand.

Now that the competition is approaching, Cheng Yi plans to write some rough functions first and set up the forum.

The user registration and login process is too cumbersome, so it has been temporarily deleted and visitors can now leave comments instead.

Add an administrator posting function, add a daily visitor function, and add a few more banner advertising spaces.

A rough outline of the forum gradually emerged.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Yi finally finished writing the code.

Due to the lack of UI, the forum looks ugly, but it is practical.

He registered three domain names and added five virtual IPs to prevent small-scale DDOS traffic attacks.

After designing the logo for Toutiao, Cheng Yi hung it in the upper left corner of the forum.

Live together!

After finishing all this, Cheng Yi saved all the logos and programs into a newly bought USB flash drive and hurriedly left the Internet cafe.

Now that we have done what we should do, we must also keep up with the intellectual property rights.

In addition to the registration of the Honor Computer trademark in Hong Kong, the Momo Internet Cafe trademark, the Toutiao trademark, and the software copyright applications for various programs must be implemented as soon as possible.

At present, the country is still in a rough development period in terms of trademarks and software copyrights, and there are no application restrictions. This period is also the easiest time to apply for trademarks, software copyrights, and version numbers.

Cheng Yi went to three departments in succession and finally submitted all the application materials. By the way, he also submitted the registration verification form of Jingzhou Momo Internet Cafe Co., Ltd.

When I finished all these and returned to the Internet cafe, it was already dusk.

At this time, a brand new Santana 2000 was parked in front of the Internet cafe.

"Now even people who drive Santana need to go to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet?" With a hint of curiosity, Cheng Yi walked into the Internet cafe.

As soon as he entered the Internet cafe, he heard Du Yusheng's voice from the second floor: "I'll go out for some fresh air and think about it."

"Boss Du, could you please negotiate with us more seriously? We come here with sincerity this time." The voice of the person who spoke was also very familiar.

It sounds like Li Bing's voice.

After going up to the second floor, Du Yusheng was relieved when he saw Cheng Yi. He pointed at Cheng Yi and shouted, "This is our... um... our financial director, Cheng Yi. You can talk to him about the sponsorship. I have too much on my hands and I'm almost overwhelmed."

A lot? Li Bing and the manager in a suit were both stunned.

You were clearly playing games just now, right?
Li Bing turned around angrily, and when he saw Cheng Yi, he immediately became even more angry. Did he not check the almanac before going out today? How did he run into this bastard?
"Hello, hello, I'm sorry, our boss Du has been busy all night and neglected you two." Cheng Yi laughed and walked up to Li Bing as if he didn't know him, and shook hands with the two of them cordially.

Li Bing felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of Manager Chen.

Manager Chen is his father's most capable subordinate. If he gets into a fight with Cheng Yi, Manager Chen might cut off half of his living expenses if he goes back and says something wrong.

Li Bing gave Cheng Yi a fake smile that was uglier than crying, turned her head to the side and said nothing more.

Manager Chen, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic. He took out his business card and handed it to Cheng Yi respectfully, saying with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Cheng. I'm Chen Qingquan from Jingzhou Lianxiang Computer Sales Center. We're here to discuss sponsorship for the competition with your internet cafe."

"Oh, hello, Manager Chen." Cheng Yi shook hands with Chen Qingquan again with a bright smile.

Chen Qingquan said, "Well, our boss, Mr. Li, still wants to get the exclusive sponsorship rights. I'd like to ask, if we offer a higher price, can you give us the exclusive sponsorship rights?"

Cheng Yi sighed and said, "Hey, if you had come here with sincerity yesterday, there would still be some hope. After all, we hadn't signed the contract with the championship sponsor yesterday. But now it's no longer possible. The contract has been signed, and we can't afford to pay the liquidated damages alone."

Manager Chen looked at Li Bing beside him in surprise and said, "Didn't we send someone over here yesterday?"

"I did come, but your bid yesterday was too low. You wanted to get the exclusive sponsorship rights for just 100,000 yuan? How is that possible? Manager Chen, the exposure of my competition is tied to the sales of Jingzhou Daily. Let alone 100,000 yuan, even if it's 500,000 yuan in sponsorship fees, you can make it back by selling 200 to 300 computers. I really don't understand. Do you look down on our competition or Jingzhou Daily?"

As soon as Cheng Yi said this, Manager Chen's face turned green.

One hundred thousand yuan?
How could the bid be one hundred thousand yuan?
Isn't it a low price of 300,000, with an additional 200,000 in negotiation space?
Manager Chen turned his head and glanced at Li Bing beside him, with a hint of horror in his eyes.

Li Bing's face had turned black at this point. He shouted, "I offered a hundred thousand to give you room to raise the price, and you didn't raise the price."

"Who is this?" Cheng Yi asked deliberately.

"This is the eldest son of our boss Li." Manager Chen forced a smile.

"Oh." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Li, when it comes to buying and selling things, honesty is paramount. Just like that Santana 2000 outside, if you go into the car dealership and offer yuan, do you think the store manager will continue to negotiate with you?"

Li Bing's face was as ugly as it could be. He snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Cheng Yi said to Manager Chen with a professional smile, "Manager Chen, we still have two sponsorship slots for the runner-up and third place. You can choose one. Although it's not as conspicuous as an exclusive, the advertising effect is also good. Xizi Hanyan Clothing Store is also in talks with us. If you want to sponsor, it's best to decide as soon as possible."

"We've already booked both sponsorship slots," Manager Chen said immediately. "Let's discuss the fees."

"The second-place sponsorship is 20 yuan, and the third-place sponsorship is 10 yuan. The price cannot be reduced." Cheng Yi said with a smile: "We want to include your information in the reports and photos of Jingzhou Daily, so we need to share a portion of the advertising fee with Jingzhou Daily. The profit is already very low."

"Okay." Manager Chen had not originally intended to lower the price. To place an advertisement on a popular page in Jingzhou Daily would cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a day, and the benefits and publicity brought by that kind of advertisement were not very great. Compared with sponsoring such a well-known competition, it was far behind.

Manager Chen added, "But we also have requirements. We must post our promotional posters as much as possible."

"No problem. You can put it anywhere you want, whether on the inner or outer walls, doorways, or buildings. If that doesn't work, you can also put your brand stickers on the computers in our Internet cafe. As for the bus advertisements, shopping mall advertisements, and booth advertisements outside, you can also write that you are the sponsor of this competition, but you must specify that you are the runner-up sponsor and the third place sponsor, otherwise our champion sponsor will be unhappy." Cheng Yi said generously.
