Chapter 18: I Said You Don't Understand
With 10,000 yuan in labor fees, mobile phones, and brand-new computers, boxing champion Liu Changjiang drove Zhao Lei and Skinny Monkey back to Qingyun County, along the way, Skinny Monkey was full of praise for this computer, as a hacker, he dreamed of having the world's most advanced configuration of computers.
"Ah Lei, will you go back to your hometown during the summer vacation? There is a Heiquan Lake field training base near your town, which is run by the Provincial Sports Bureau, and the Sports Bureau just entrusted me to open a speed training class there during the summer vacation, and there is a place to eat and live. Before saying goodbye, Liu Changjiang took Zhao Lei's hand, since he helped Yang Mei a lot, Liu Changjiang was also grateful to him, "Didn't you say yesterday that you want to learn sanda tricks from me, big brother will teach you some of the most effective self-defense techniques." β
"Ah, that's great." Zhao Lei thanked him repeatedly, in the future, the business route will be dangerous, and it is impossible to practice some self-defense skills to prepare for the unexpected.
Zhao Lei did not go to school, but came to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau with the thin monkey with the materials that should have been prepared a long time ago. He wants to register and set up a shop that operates and repairs computers, and digs up as much gold as possible in his first pot of gold.
At present, the business of repairing computers is not very good, because the computers that are bought at home are not easy to break, and this business will not be revitalized until three or five years later.
This store will be a miracle soldier for Zhao Lei to complete the mysterious product.
After the two of them filled out various forms, checked the formalities completely, and paid a fee of several hundred yuan, the industrial and commercial personnel told them that the business license of the individual industrial and commercial household could be completed in two or three days at most.
This business license will be the first stop of Zhao Lei's grand plan.
Then he walked to the mobile company, completed the mobile phone transfer procedures, pinned it on his waist, and said very arrogantly.
The two of them rushed to a commercial street not far from the downtown area, and at the end of the street, threw out 3,000 yuan and signed a one-year lease with the landlord.
This storefront has been empty for a long time, and the two of them have long taken a fancy to it. To do a number of business, the store does not need to be in a too prosperous area, as long as the reputation of this thing is spread, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. The annual rent of 3,000 yuan is not expensive.
The two cleaned up, and the thin monkey moved all the equipment in the video store.
Zhao Lei is working hard to write a recruitment revelation and business advertisement, he counted 1,600 yuan to the thin monkey, ready to recruit two people who know how to use computers, with a monthly salary of 800 yuan, slightly higher than the local average.
In addition to introducing the strength of the store, this business advertisement focuses on the restoration of the photos of Yang's Electronics Company, an innovative enterprise in our province.
Zhao Lei knows that although at the moment, people are still relatively unfamiliar with the number of repairs, but it will not be long before competitors will bloom all over the street, driven by interests. The experience of repairing several jΓΉ to Yang's company can greatly maintain the reputation of the store and establish a brand.
The market has been opened, and the next thing is that it is enough to have a thin monkey as the leader, and two hired personnel are responsible for giving the thin monkey a hand, in addition to the core technology, ordinary technology is done by the hired personnel.
In this store, Zhao Lei and Skinny Monkey invested in all the previous operating income, Zhao Lei accounted for 70%, and Skinny Monkey accounted for 30%.
In the past few days, they have earned a total of more than 12,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan is Yang Mei's remuneration, and the other more than 2,000 is the income of the thin monkey's business. The two agreed that all income would be used for the development of the enterprise.
Originally, Zhao Lei planned to let the thin monkey account for 40% of the shares in the newly opened store, but the thin monkey refused to live or die, saying that 30% was too much.
According to the business situation in the past few days, this store will earn four or five thousand yuan a month in the future, which is basically not too difficult. In other words, this small store is already the sum of the salaries of four or five local employees.
But this is only a small step in Zhao Lei's plan, he didn't think about the long-term operation of the store at all, he was pinching his fingers, hoping that a few competitors would appear on the street as soon as possible.
That's right, the sooner the competition comes, the more it comes, the better it will be for him!
The only time the competitors are busy, the more valuable the store will be. Otherwise, just rely on him and the thin monkey to operate, even if you earn 5,000 yuan a month, it is only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, and if you want to do big things, you have to wait until the year of the monkey?
Thin Monkey took the initiative to propose that all businesses were developed by Zhao Lei, and in the future, his income, in addition to daily living expenses, would be combined into the operation and development of Zhao Lei's other businesses. As much as Brother Lei gives, then it counts.
Zhao Lei did not refuse, now is not a matter of how to share, after the enterprise is developed, it is impossible for him to treat the monkey badly.
A few days ago, the income of more than 12,000 yuan, half of 2,000 yuan per person, was used as living expenses for himself and the monkeys. The remaining 10,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan paid for rent, a few hundred yuan paid for mobile phones, a few hundred yuan paid for business licenses, 1,600 yuan for labor wages, and another 1,000 yuan for the daily expenses of the store.
There is almost 5,000 yuan of liquidity.
These working funds are more than enough to cope with daily chores, but they are still 20 times short of the starting capital of 100,000 yuan he originally calculated.
The 100,000 yuan must be earned before the start of the school creative competition, 50,000 yuan is used to develop products, and the other 50,000 yuan is used for various expenses, otherwise everything is in vain.
The core part of his own mysterious product is software design, and with the parameters provided by the former president of Shanxing, Zhao Lei is confident that it can be completed. However, other auxiliary accessories need to be customized by different manufacturers.
This product is far ahead of the current society, and no accessories can be found off-the-shelf.
Customized, you need to open a mold, and the cost of each mold is less than thousands, and more than tens of thousands. And for their own mysterious products, they need at least seven or eight sets of molds.
In the next step, it will take half a month to develop the software production, and at the same time, take the time to find different manufacturers, design and develop accessories molds, and carry out product assembly and testing!
And now, this mysterious product, can also completely unveil its mystery, it is called mobile music player, of course, you want to call it MP3, it is completely correct, but the two are slightly different, Zhao Lei's mobile music, will directly cross MP4 in the future, into the point of audio and video fusion.
Under normal circumstances, MP3 was not inadvertently invented by the son of the former president of Shanxing until after 1998, and Zhao Lei planned to use the technology given by the former president of Shanxing to make it come out in 1995 in advance.
Zeng Biao just used the improved version of the Walkman, and he coaxed him to think that he could stand alone, but he didn't know that the mystery of this technology lies in the second kill!
β¦β¦
The next day.
When Zhao Lei appeared in the lecture hall with a Pingguo computer on his shoulder and a mobile phone holster on his waist, the children who participated in the salon were all stunned.
"Wow, the BP machine on Zhao Lei's waist, why does it look so awkward?"
"A mobile phone, it's a mobile phone, not a BP machine."
"Na Mu? Cell phone? In addition to the school leaders, no one in the school uses a mobile phone, so Zhao Lei is equipped with it? β
"Look, what is he carrying? There is a bite of the flat fruit printed on the outside of the bag, is it a computer, is it a computer, is it a computer? β
"I don't believe it's a computer, it's probably just a bag, it's just scary."
Today's salon is still lectured by Zeng Biao, Zhao Lei originally did not plan to participate, but thinking of Zeng Biao asking him why he couldn't afford a digital computer the day before yesterday, he was angry, and in a fit of anger, he simply carried the computer on his back, planning to come to the lecture hall to find a secluded place and start his software development.
Let's talk about the truth, my brother is here to show off, since he wants to show it, he has to blind the titanium alloy dog eyes of these people.
In the midst of the chatter, Zeng Biao froze on the stage, his eyes were staring at Zhao Lei's backpack, unable to accept the fact that it was a computer.
Liu Yan, who was sitting in the front row, looked at Zhao Lei's back in a daze, and her eyes revealed a kind of complexity.
She is too familiar with Zhao Lei, from childhood to high school, the two of them are neighbors, playing together, studying together, and even eating together and occasionally sleeping together when they were young.
She knows very well that Zhao Lei has a tenacity that others can't match, as long as he recognizes something, he will risk his life and complete it.
It's just that Zhao Lei is too poor and the world of flowers is too tempting, she can't wait for the day when Zhao Lei succeeds, and wants to copy a rich shortcut, so she chose Zeng Biao, the first tyrant in the college.
And now, Zhao Lei has opened a number of jΓΉ shops and the business is better than imagined, which has vaguely spread to the school. As long as there is a chance, Zhao Lei, who has to do it with his life, will he not be able to catch it?
If Zhao Lei's back is really a Pingguo laptop, what does that mean?
If Zhao Lei has something else on his waist is really a mobile phone, what does it mean?
It shows that even Zeng Biao can't afford it, and no one in the entire academy has it, but he Zhao Lei already has it.
Zeng Biao on the stage remained calm on the surface, but his heart was also mixed. He hated Zhao Lei, and hated that the day before yesterday he secretly ordered the sworn friends of the Sports Academy to punish him, but he was still escaped by Zhao Lei. Today, Zhao Lei is back, with a light that he can't understand or accept.
The squad leader and several roommates in the dormitory all came up, and Zhao Lei did not live in the dormitory for two nights.
Walking straight to the back row, Zhao Lei opened the bag, took out the computer, plugged it in, turned it on, and the entire lecture hall exclaimed with envy.
"Wow, it's really a computer, Pingguo's, look at the silver-gray, aluminum alloy light and thin cover, wow, I'm hungry!"
"I know, this computer has not been listed in China, it should be brought from the United States, you see, the plug still needs to be connected, the voltage in the United States is different from ours."
"Overnight, how did Zhao Lei become a rich man?"
The melodious music of the computer turned on spread all over the classroom, and in the exclamation of everyone, Zhao Lei hugged his arms and quietly cast his eyes on Zeng Biao on the stage.
Zeng Biao's eyes also happened to be on Zhao Lei.
The two lines of sight met in the air, as if with a bang, Zeng Biao's whole body trembled, and instinctively looked away.
Seeing that the surname Zeng avoided his gaze, Zhao Lei's eyes fell on Humpty Dumpty not far away.
Humpty Dumpty was also twisting his head, staring viciously at the glittering Pingguo computer, his shoulders were still wrapped in gauze, and he was still aching faintly from the knife wound given by Zhao Lei.
However, I wanted to teach Zhao Lei a lesson yesterday, but I was hurt by the other party, how can I talk about it?
Suddenly, Humpty Dumpty stood up, rushed to Zhao Lei's seat in a few strides, pointed to the computer and asked viciously: "Fake, right?" Or was it stolen? β
Zhao Lei smiled slightly, clicked on the computer, right-clicked on my computer on the desktop, selected properties, the version of the system, the main frequency of the computer's CPU, memory and other information, all of which were realistically presented in front of him.
He looked at Humpty Dumpty: "Fatty, you were not qualified to come to Brother Cha's computer, but for the sake of you being beaten up the day before yesterday, Brother fulfilled your wish." Fake? Haha, raise the dog's eyes to see the real thing, is it fake? β
As he spoke, he took out the invoice, warranty certificate, and user manual from his bag.
"Fatty, you know all these English words, right? The computer, 10,000 eight, was bought by the chairman of Yang's Electronics Company, a high-tech enterprise in Sichuan Province, from the United States, and she transferred it to me as a labor fee. As for mobile phones, the same is true, they are all earned by my brother. β
Humpty Dumpty's eyes were about to fall out of their sockets, and he stammered: "You...... Where are you from...... Got so much money? β
Zhao Lei smiled contemptuously: "The day before yesterday, in this lecture hall, I personally said that 100,000 yuan is not a problem for me. Now the computer is 18,000, the mobile phone has only been used for more than a year, the discount is 4,000, my brother just rented a room in the downtown area yesterday, opened a number of jΓΉ repair shops, in terms of principal, this shop is worth 5,000 yuan. After a few days of hard work, I brought cash with goods, and completed a total income of more than 30,000 yuan, will you be too little? β
"I ...... I ......" Humpty Dumpty stepped back again and again, not daring to look directly into Zhao Lei's eyes.
Zeng Biao, who had been silent for a long time, finally deigned to walk down from the podium and came to Zhao Lei, with a sinister gaze: "Zhao Lei, I remember the matter of charging me 500 yuan the day before yesterday." β
Zhao Lei nodded: "Well, just remember." But this is just a warning to you. β
Zeng Biao also nodded: "I have received your warning." I'll give you a warning too. β
"Does it mean the Campus Idea Competition?" Zhao Lei asked rhetorically.
Zeng Biao stared at him: "Not bad." The day before yesterday you said that you would make a mysterious product. Now, my technology is published to the public except for the core technology, do you dare to sue me, what is it? β
Zhao Lei lowered his head, Nima, this matter is quite difficult, moving the name of music or MP3, no one in the world can understand it.
"Zeng Biao, I said the day before yesterday that you don't understand the name of this product. I'll give you a rough idea. β
"Listen up." Zeng Biao's words obviously did not dare to be arrogant.
"Your technology can only be regarded as an improved version of the Walkman. My technology, on the other hand, is a complete subversion of Walkman technology. For example, in the past, we used to use calculators to calculate, but today with computers, we can complete calculations in a few seconds that calculators can't do in years. β
The muscles on Zeng Biao's face twitched a few times: "You dare to say that your products can be compared to computers." β
Zhao Lei said: "In the audio industry, it can be said that it is the computer in audio products!" β
"How do you understand that?" Zeng Biao asked.
Zhao Lei smiled: "Three aspects of understanding, first, smaller size, more portable; Second, the Walkman must use CDs, and if you want to listen to as many songs as you can when you go out, you need to bring a box of CDs. My products, download as you go, as long as the space allows, you can save as much as you want; Thirdly, and most importantly, the quality of my voice is something that the Walkman can never match. β
"I don't understand!" Zeng Biao decisively threw out these two words. Under today's conditions, it is true that few people can understand what Zhao Lei said. You must know that Walkman technology, no matter in any aspect, has reached the peak of portable audio and video products, and there can be no breakthroughs.
Zhao Lei smiled again: "Brother Zeng, it's normal, because I already said it the day before yesterday, and you won't understand it if I say it!" β
Zeng Biao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, Zhao Lei, I don't understand the product, but don't forget, my family runs an electronic product company, I won't not understand the market." Your product, no matter how fanciful it is, but the market is unlikely to accept products that people are not familiar with, which is the inertia of consumer psychology. β
Zhao Lei did not answer, this is also what he is most worried about, with the product, it needs to be accepted by people in the continuous promotion, otherwise, no matter how subversive the technology, people are not familiar with it, and it is impossible to buy it.
But Ruth went step by step, and with the product, if you don't believe it, you can't hit the brand.
Zeng Biao pressed step by step: "Zhao Lei, don't forget, the final award of the school creative competition is based on the highest standard of market acceptance of Cheng DΓΉ. My products have a mature market and can bring people a higher level of experience; Your product, people are unfamiliar with it, and you can't measure the market share, which jury will vote for such an uncertain product? β
Zhao Lei puffed up his chest: "The market will eventually make the right choice." β
Zeng Biao's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light: "Zhao Lei, no matter what backer you have, no matter what technology you have, even if the market can accept it, I only have one thing to tell you." β
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"You can never win the school creative competition."
Throwing down this sentence, Zeng Biao strode away.
Zhao Lei also knows this person's personality, and if he says it, he will definitely be able to do it, could it be that he has any unique secret skills that have not been announced to the public?
Yes, Zeng Biao left a hand, and this hand is precisely the hand that kills the opponent, and he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
There is one thing, Zhao Lei really ignored, technology leadership is one thing, whether it can be accepted by consumer groups is another.
This negligence will bring about a catastrophe. Can Zhao Lei cope?
