"Hey, Li Feng, I have already told my dad what you said yesterday, and he said that the technology is completely fine, it depends on what you ask. Are you free now, come to my father's company, Qichuang Technology on Fuxing Road, he happens to be free today. Xue Yingying said.

"Okay, I'll be right here. Unexpectedly, Xue Yingying was quite effective, Li Feng didn't stop, and immediately got on the bus and went to Xue Guoqiang's company on Fuxing Road.

Founded at the end of 1999, Qichuang Technology Co., Ltd., founded by Xue Guoqiang, is a technology company with very good growth prospects.

This company was co-founded by Xue Guoqiang and private entrepreneur Luo Xiangdong, who contributed and provided the venue and was the majority shareholder of the company. Xue Guoqiang invested in technology, accounting for 40% of the shares.

This company is well-known in Xianhu City, and it is also the company where Li Feng has a crush on the goddess's father, so Li Feng has also paid attention to it in the following years and understands its general fate.

From about the second half of 2002, the company had a very unpleasant quarrel because of the shareholding structure.

After several large-scale financings, Xue Guoqiang's shares were constantly diluted, and the major shareholder Luo Xiangdong is a shrewd businessman, who has continuously brought several close friends in the business field to invest and included them in the board of directors, making Xue Guoqiang's voice on the board of directors continue to decrease.

After a few years of development of the company, the technology brought by Xue Guoqiang has been almost absorbed by the company, and the short-sighted Luo Xiangdong believes that as long as the status quo is maintained, it can continue to make profits, and Xue Guoqiang's use value no longer exists.

Therefore, Luo Xiangdong began to dilute Xue Guoqiang's equity through capital operation, making his position on the board of directors constantly marginalized.

In the end, the contradiction broke out, Xue Guoqiang angrily withdrew his shares and left Qichuang Technology, and due to the departure of the technology leader, the company gradually lagged behind in technology research and development and completely fell into mediocrity.

Later, Xue Guoqiang went to the United States as a visiting scholar, and then simply took his family to settle down in the United States.

Li Feng had seen Xue Guoqiang before, tall and thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his two eyes were particularly full of brilliance, with the demeanor of a wise elder.

In terms of Xue Guoqiang's professional level, he has long been able to be rated as a full professor at Xianhu University, but his ambition is not to evaluate the title, but has been committed to the market-oriented application of electronic information technology.

Under his appeal, in recent years, the school-enterprise docking between Xianhu University and enterprises has gradually matured, and he himself met Luo Xiangdong, a private entrepreneur, at a school-enterprise docking event.

Because the two could talk, they soon jointly established Qichuang Technology Co., Ltd., which mainly promotes the bus card system and the production and manufacturing of bus cards.

2001 was still an era dominated by cash transactions, and people's daily economic activities basically relied on cash transactions, and there were few credit card transactions.

It can be said that the various chip cards launched by Qichuang Technology Company were still relatively advanced in that era.

After six stops on the bus, Li Feng came to Qichuang Technology Co., Ltd., which is located on Fuxing Road.

It has been almost two years since the company was founded at the end of 1999, and this small four-story building on Fuxing Road is its headquarters and production center.

Xue Guoqiang's office was on the fourth floor, and Li Feng went upstairs and knocked on the door.

"Please come in. An elegant voice came from inside the door.

"Hello Uncle Xue, I'm Li Feng, Xue Yingying's classmate. Li Feng pushed the door and walked into the office and said.

"Oh, it's Li Feng, please sit down. Xue Guoqiang poured Li Feng a glass of water and asked with a smile, "Listen to my daughter, your family wants to open an Internet café?"

"Yes, I not only want to open an Internet café, but also want to be a modern Internet café with standardized management, so I thought of the Internet café settlement model of credit card settlement. Li Feng said, "I wanted to buy a set of Internet café recharge card system, so I thought of your company." ”

Xue Guoqiang occasionally goes to the Internet café, and feels that the local Internet café management in Xianhu City is very backward, and it is currently registered manually.

This method is indeed very primitive, Xue Guoqiang once thought of making a set of Internet café recharge card system, but these Internet café owners don't seem to have much culture, and they are not interested in these high-tech products, so Xue Guoqiang just thought about it.

"The Internet café recharge card system, this is not difficult at all technically. You only need to slightly modify our existing bus recharge card system, add time control and price setting modules, and the membership card you use is essentially the same chip card as the bus card. Xue Guoqiang said.

"Uncle is right, the existing Internet café charging method not only increases a lot of labor costs, but also is easy to make mistakes. Li Feng said, "After using the card system, there is another benefit, which is prepayment." ”

"Haha, you're also very good. Xue Guoqiang smiled and said, "Prepayment can bring you greater cash flow, a recharge card, generally have to be recharged fifty or one hundred yuan, these money has not been spent, it has already arrived in your hands." ”

"So I attach great importance to this system, and I hope that Uncle Xue can support it. Li Feng said, "If my Internet café works well and plays an exemplary role, your company can even add a business, which is to sell the Internet café recharge card system." ”

"What do you think of the future of this system?" Xue Guoqiang felt that the young man in front of him was a little interesting, at least in terms of ideas, surpassing the group of college students from Fairy Lake University.

"China's Internet cafes are still in their infancy, with the popularization of network awareness, there will be a large number of Internet demand in China, and there is a market for demand. Therefore, before the personal computer was completely popularized, Internet cafes were still the mainstream Internet access place for most people. Li Feng analyzed, "With the hot momentum of students going to Internet cafes now, what prospects do you think this market will have?"

"Haha, interesting. Xue Guoqiang said, "According to what you said, before personal computers were completely popularized, the main place to access the Internet was Internet cafes. But what about the personal computer once it's widespread? How many years will that window of time be?"

Xue Guoqiang's occupational disease came up, as if he was discussing technical topics with the college students in his class.

"You know Moore's Law, PCs are still very expensive, and people's average income levels aren't high, so the vast majority of people can't afford computers. However, the price of personal computers will continue to fall, coupled with the rising income level of people, it is expected that in five years, personal computers will be popularized on a large scale, and then it will enter every household like color TV refrigerators. Li Feng said.

"Are you saying that this time window will be about five years?" Xue Guoqiang asked, this is similar to what Xue Guoqiang expected, I didn't expect this kid to be quite level.

"Yes, the current five years have been the golden age of running an Internet café. Especially in the last two or three years, there will definitely be a large number of Internet cafes opening. Li Feng said, "In the future I foresee, the Internet is not only a technological tool, but also a basic way of life for human beings." The historical role assumed by the Internet café is the first Internet enlightenment of the Chinese people. ”

Li Feng's words completely shocked Xue Guoqiang, the Internet will become the basic way of life of human beings? ! The historical role of Internet cafes is the first Internet enlightenment?!
