Chapter 41: Free
It was already past nine o'clock, and when the two brothers came to the Internet café, the person who installed the computer was busy, and Taozi, Ah Hui and others were watching and asking questions, and it was obvious that they were hurrying up to study. Seeing them so serious, Chen Shi was very pleased, and Tao Zi and the others had a heart.
Chen Shi, the owner of the computer seller, knew him, after all, they had met. As soon as the other party saw him, he immediately greeted him warmly, after all, Chen Shi bought a hundred computers in one go, and he was the first big customer since he started business, and the impact was quite profound.
"Boss Chen is here. He enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Shi, one boss at a time, and the smile on his face made Chen Shi embarrassed to put on a cold face, so he had to answer him with a smile.
"You're the boss, you're polite, you're angry. Chen Shi said with a smile.
Boss is a kind of title in the business world, just like Mr. and Mrs. casual, whether people are bosses or not, you will not suffer if you call the boss, some people especially want others to call themselves bosses, as if calling the boss will really become the boss, but Chen Shi does not have this habit.
"For me, a big customer like you, Boss Chen, is the real boss, if there is any problem with the computer in the future, just come to me, the contemptible surname is Cui. Chen Shi is his number one customer, of course, he must give priority to taking care of it, not only after-sales service, but also the relationship, maybe it will not be long before there will be business again. If you don't want to do business for a long time, but make a fortune and leave, it will not last long.
"Boss Cui, I'm tired, I may have to trouble you in the future, if the machine is broken, repairing it is a troublesome thing, I can't find a talent now, I don't know if Boss Cui can introduce a few?"
Boss Cui frowned and said: "This is really a problem, now computer talents are really rare, especially in a small county like ours, the news is blocked, and some talents may not be willing to come back, even if they are hired with high salaries, there are not many people to come." ”
Chen Shicai didn't believe that this was Boss Cui's true meaning, if so, how did he find talents? But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find anything wrong, this is indeed a fact, and what he couldn't figure out was why Boss Cui could have so many talents.
He looked inside, and there were four or five people who were installing computers, and they were definitely not the kind of hard work that didn't know anything, and this kind of people couldn't do such technical work as installing computers. Looking at these four or five talents, Chen Shi was like watching pies falling from the sky, but unfortunately he couldn't eat these pies.
"Boss Cui, you have the ability, where did these people under you come from? Introduce a little way, you also know, if I open an Internet café without a few people who understand computers, it will not be a good thing. Chen Shi said.
Boss Cui smiled and said: "Boss Chen, I won't tell you, if you really want to recruit a few computer talents, I really have no way, if you can make up your mind to cultivate, then in two years, I guarantee that your people are stronger than them." ”
Chen Shi was slightly surprised, looked at Boss Cui and asked, "Are you saying that they are all trained by you personally?"
What is the most expensive in the 21st century? In the Xiaogang Cannon movie, it is said that it is talent, this sentence is not wrong at all, not only in the 21st century, in fact, no matter in that era, talent is the most expensive, because real talent is a scarce animal. If it is a craft, everyone will, then you can not be called a talent after learning this craft, the real talent is to master what most people do not grasp, understand the truth that most people do not understand, and be able to do what most people can't do, this is talent, but also a scarce animal.
Now, the 21 st century has just begun, and computers have not yet been fully popularized. And a person who can cultivate talents should definitely not be underestimated.
Chen Shi sincerely admired Boss Cui, it is indeed not easy to cultivate four or five computer talents by himself, and his business must become bigger and bigger.
Boss Cui smiled: "That's right, several of them are from my township, they just graduated from junior high school, and after two years with me, everyone has mastered the craft of mixing rice." ”
Cultivating talents is really important, but if Chen Shi has two years, even if he doesn't understand computers, he can cultivate more than a dozen talents, but it is precisely because he has no time, now is the last opportunity for Internet cafes to stake land, as far as he knows, after a year or two, the handling of Internet cafes is very difficult, the state began to govern the network environment, so the opening of Internet cafes is strictly controlled, and ordinary people can't get documents at all, not to mention the Internet cafes in the future, under the age of 18 is absolutely not able to enter, and there is no second-generation ID card。
Now, it is the last prime time of the Internet café, and he has no extra time to train talents, so he can only recruit in the market, but because this is a small county, it is very difficult to recruit such high-tech talents. For the method proposed by Boss Cui, he can only sigh with hope.
"Oh, it's too late. Chen Shi sighed.
Boss Cui didn't understand his thoughts, and asked: "It does take time to cultivate talents, but this is also a way to no way, if you are in the city, you can recruit some, but it is difficult for us in this small county." ”
Chen Shi thought about it, or decided to find Boss Cui to solve the problem, first of all, he has talents in his hands, and secondly, he sells computers, and he will continue to buy computers in the future, so there is a relationship of interest between the two, he knows that Boss Cui will not easily give up his big customer, and he also knows that Boss Cui also wants to be more closely connected with him, so this has the basis for cooperation.
He said, "How about we work together?"
Boss Cui asked, "What kind of cooperation method?"
Chen Shi said: "I am short of talents, but you have talents, I am out of stock, you are selling computers, and there is a basis for cooperation between us." I think so, you help me train talents, while providing me with repair services other than after-sales service, the price is negotiable, and I will expand the store in the future, and all the computers will be taken from you, how about it. ”
This can be described as a win-win plan, but it also depends on whether Boss Cui has extra time, if his talents have other uses and no spare time, then everything is not to be discussed, and another is to see how much Boss Cui can spend to retain him as a potential customer, because if he opens an Internet café in the future, it will be a big order.
Boss Cui pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "No problem, it is not a problem to train computer repair talents, but you have to be prepared in terms of time, without a year or two, even a genius cannot understand them all." "This is a win-win situation, he has four or five talents under his command, only one needs to be dispatched to solve the problem, and he can also make an extra amount of money, who doesn't want to do this kind of good thing to make money? Not to mention that it can also stabilize the relationship with Chen Shi, and there are potential orders in the future, so the best of both worlds can certainly not be missed."
As soon as Boss Cui agreed, Chen Shi was of course very happy, and he personally went to buy a cigarette and distributed it to several employees who were installing computers, and even invited them to lunch, which made Boss Cui happy again.
The installation of the computer was very fast, there were four or five technicians, plus Tao Zi and other five people to do coolies, it didn't take a day to get it done, and after sending Boss Cui away, Chen Shi said with satisfaction: "It can be opened tomorrow." ”
Tao Zi and the others also nodded happily. Chen Shi said: "How are you preparing for the opening? Is there any publicity?"
Ah Hui said: "I advertised it when I sold membership cards before, and we expect it to open tomorrow, so there will be no mistakes, but if you want to hold an event when you open? ”
Of course, the opening of the event is almost a rule, one is to be auspicious, the other is to be lively, in order to attract more guests, but also to promote their reputation.
Chen Shidao: "Of course, we must hold activities, not only to do them, but also to hold special ones. "He has already thought about it, the first day of opening, completely free, of course, the free can not go online, can only play stand-alone games.
Tao Zi asked, "What should I do? How big is it? Is there time to do it?"
There is no problem with the time, but Chen Shi was worried that there would be a conflict with Ah Hui's previous publicity, so he asked Ah Hui: "You advertised the opening before, did you say anything about the event?"
Ah Hui said: "No, you haven't said it yet, I can't just talk nonsense, just say that our membership card will not be discounted after it opens, and I don't say much else." ”
Chen Shi nodded, Ah Hui is still reliable, and he didn't publicize anything without asking him, which is very good, he knows how to be measured.
"Good. Chen Shi nodded and smiled: "Since this is the case, then you will start to publicize now, use your own connections, and tell your friends that it will open tomorrow, and it will all be free." ”
"Free?" Tao Zi was surprised: "Isn't this a loss?" There was no concept of promotion in his consciousness, and there was no concept of publicity.
Chen Shidao: "It's not completely free, you will be charged money when you go online, and you will be free if you don't go online to play stand-alone games, but there must be a little limit, first of all, a person can't be more than two hours in a row, and you have to queue up again after obsolescence, otherwise there are too many people and a hundred people occupy the machine, then the remaining people will be dissatisfied, and the effect of propaganda has not been achieved, only a hundred people, and the coverage area is too small." ”
On the opening day, the matter was decided, and then Tao Zi and others used their connections to publicize, and they began to call, no matter whether the relationship was good or not, as long as the people they knew were notified one by one, especially emphasizing that it was free. Tao Zi and others are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, and the main force of the Internet is seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, they say, one hundred, one hundred, one thousand, so that they can't live overnight, know that the Internet café is open about tens of thousands, and they are all potential customers, is the main force of the Internet in the future.
