Chapter 71: Buying a Computer
and Li Yanran together sent Li Yuting to the car from Jingcheng to Shanghai; Watching the bus slowly disappear at the corner of the highway, Li Mo and the others retracted their reluctant gaze.
"Sister Li, did you call your uncle and aunt? Don't let Xiaoting go home, they don't know. Li Mo opened the car door and asked Li Yanran to sit on it first, and then he followed and sat down, and asked casually.
Li Yanran glanced at Li Mo dissatisfied, and said reproachfully, "If I don't call, I'm afraid you won't remember to make a call." ”
Li Mo laughed when he heard this, and argued, "Isn't there your sister?" It's not appropriate for my prospective son-in-law to fight. By the way, Sister Li, I may have to go to the provincial capital later. The internet café is renovated, and I need to buy a computer. "I suddenly remembered that the thin monkey called in the morning to talk about the Internet café, and he had to report it to his wife first.
sent Sister Li to the factory, Li Mo did not get out of the car, and after seeing Li Yanran enter the factory gate, he smiled and nodded at Zhang Zhigang, who was standing by the gate to guard.
Before going to the Internet café, Li Mo first called the thin monkey and asked him to wait for him at the Internet café.
"Skinny monkey, wait a minute, you will go with me to the provincial capital to buy a computer. As for what I commanded yesterday, let the beasts and the thunderbolts do it. In the Internet café, Li Mo checked around, because he added some Internet café decoration elements that Li Mo brought from his previous life. This Internet café looks much more comfortable than the Internet café of this era.
The ceiling is black, and the walls are painted in blue, green, and yellow latex. Various luminaires can be selected with different brightness. But the computer desk hasn't been put in yet. This hall was empty.
"Skinny Monkey, when will the computer desk be delivered to us?" Li Mo finished reading the decoration of the Internet café and said with satisfaction.
"Boss, I called the furniture factory and they said it would be delivered tonight. I asked them to send someone to pack it all up for the night. The thin monkey's face was calm, and he said without the slightest pause.
Li Mo took the thin monkey to the bank first to check if the loan application had been completed. If not, he will go to the provincial capital to order first, and he can pay the deposit first. If you do it, then go directly to the provincial capital and buy the computer back.
After consulting with a deputy head of the bank's credit section, he was informed that the loan had been approved by the bank. You can call Li Mo's account at any time.
happily inquired about the extra 300,000 in Kari, Li Mo got in the car and asked Shi Shi to go to the provincial capital now.
The provincial city of Wanping City, Li Mo is not too familiar, although he had stayed in this city for more than a year before he was reborn, Li Mo is not a person who likes to run around, and in that year, he only played around the school.
Jinzhai Road is the main digital street in Wanping City. More than half of the computer sellers in Anhui are gathered here.
Li Mo is not too clear about the computer configuration of this period, but he also knows 128 memory, Ben 3CPU and 40G hard disk.
When the owner of this computer city heard that Li Mo was going to buy a batch of computers when he opened an Internet café, he hurriedly invited Li Mo to his office with a smile and made a cup of tea himself.
"What configuration of computer does the little brother want to buy?" After hearing Li Mo say some computer parameters, the boss didn't dare to treat Li Mo as a wronged leader.
Li Mo smiled and didn't answer, he had to wait for the boss to say what the mainstream configuration was, as well as the price. And before coming in, Li Mo asked the thin monkey to go to other computer cities to inquire about the price.
Seeing that Li Mo didn't speak, the boss was also anxious. The young man in front of him was a big customer. Open your mouth and ask for a hundred. If the price is too ruthless, maybe the other party will change it immediately. It wasn't what he wanted.
Thinking of this, the boss took out a price list from the drawer, handed it to Li Mo with a smile, and said, "The configuration on this is the mainstream configuration of Internet cafes now." A computer 4500. This is still the price that you buy more little brother, if ordinary people come to buy, it will cost 5000. ”
Li Mo was disdainful of the boss's words, why do I buy more than 4500? But I still took the list and looked at it carefully.
It's similar to what I thought, but I replaced the 40G hard drive with a 20G one. After calculating the unit price at the back for a while, the assembly machine of this configuration costs 4550. The 4500 that the boss said is about the same. However, Li Mo didn't believe that the boss only had such a report. There must be several more orders with different prices.
For hard disks, 40g and 20g Li Mo feel that it doesn't matter. At this time, there were few online games, and single-player games were not large. It doesn't use that much hard drive space. It's just that this price is too different from the price in my heart.
"Boss, your price is too high." Returning the list in his hand to the boss of the computer city, Li Mo leaned on the sofa and said with a smile.
"Too high? No, little brother. The price of computers is the same now. How could I lie to you. When the boss heard Li Mo's words, he said with an unhappy face.
At this time, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in!" The boss smiled apologetically at Li Mo, sat up straight, and said in a deep voice.
An employee here walked in with a thin monkey and respectfully said to the boss of the computer city, "Boss, this person is here to find him." As he spoke, he pointed to Li Mo who was sitting on the sofa.
The boss was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Li Mo with an inquiring look.
"This is my staff." Li Mo nodded and replied with a smile.
"You go out first." The boss waved to his employees.
The thin monkey walked up to Li Mo and whispered a few words in Li Mo's ear. Li Mo nodded and motioned for him to wait outside for him.
"How's it going, little brother. This price is already the biggest discount I can give you. If it goes any lower, I'm going to lose money. The boss said with a sincere smile on his face.
Regarding this boss's words, Li Mo was noncommittal. He is not a good negotiator, and just now the thin monkey told him that there is a computer city with a configuration similar to the one that this boss showed Li Mo, and the price is only 4000. It is conceivable how ruthless this boss slaughtered himself.
One is 500 more expensive. One hundred is fifty thousand. When your money is a big drain?
"Boss, your prices here are different from other places. If you can't get any more deals, I'll have to go to another one. Li Mo finished with a smile and looked at this boss for a long time. He is not afraid that this boss will not reduce the price, but if he can't do it, he will go to another house to buy it.
When the boss heard Li Mo's words, he didn't know that the employee who came in just now had gone to other stores to investigate. scolded in his heart, this must be a good thing done by Lao Chen, the owner of the store next to him. Here, Lao Chen and himself are not at odds. I probably saw myself coming to a big customer. I want to steal this business too.
Thinking of this, the boss immediately said with an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry, little brother." I took the wrong order just now. The one you just looked at was for a personal computer to see. After speaking, he hurriedly took out another quotation form from the drawer and handed it to Li Mo. There was also a hint of distress in his eyes.
"Oh?" Li Mo took the list with a smile and glanced at it. The configuration is still the same, but the price is only 3800. It's still a bit expensive! Li Mo only brought 340,000 with him, but the 100 computers cost 380,000.
After some bargaining, Li Mo finally bought a hundred computers for 350,000 yuan. And the other party is asked to send the computer to Jingcheng and be responsible for installing it.
A deposit of 100,000 yuan was paid, and the rest of the money had to be paid after the computer was delivered to Jingcheng and installed.
After saying hello and saying goodbye to the boss of the computer city who was full of pain, Li Mo got into the car with a smile.
Walking around the city, Li Mo found a well-known local technology company. I bought the right to use a set of paid software, and the annual usage fee is 30,000 yuan.
The three of them had lunch at a restaurant in the city and left Wanping. When the car passed by the suburbs of Wucheng, several people saw a gang of thugs fighting through the car window.
A total of dozens of thugs fought together with steel pipes and machetes. From time to time, someone screamed and fell to the ground.
Li Mo let the stones slow down the speed of the car, and watched with interest as a group of people fought in a stone crushing factory.
Suddenly, a long-haired young man pulled out a short-barreled shotgun from his waist and pointed it towards the sky. And he fired a shot.
All the thugs in the scuffle were stunned by the sound of the gunfire at the same time. The movements in the hands also stopped.
When the car went farther and farther, Li Mocai said with a smile, "Now a small shotgun in the underworld can also calm the scene." ”
The thin monkey was not easy to interject, and the stone said with the same face, "Domestic arms are not easy to get." Most of them are homemade; Shotgun. Only a big force like the Golden Dragon Gang would have real weapons. ”
Li Mo nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly whispered, "Stone, you said that if we sell guns in China, is there a market?" ”
"Squeak!" Stone was startled and hurriedly stepped on the brakes. Looking at Li Mo with a solemn face full of incredulity, Rao was also stunned by Li Mo's bold idea with his surname that he was not afraid of heaven and earth.
Selling guns in the country? It will certainly not escape the punishment of the state organs.
The stone glanced at the thin monkey sitting behind him and did not speak. Continue driving.
Back in Jingcheng, Li Mo instructed the thin monkey to recruit two cashiers and a technician. After the Internet café opens, it will definitely be people, and as for the skinny monkeys, it's almost the same to be a spectator. Let them collect the money, and maybe how much less money will be a day. For the time being, the NMS does not need it. The general problem is that the skinny monkeys can help you get it, but there are technicians who really can't do it.
In the stone dwelling, the room was filled with smoke. Li Mo and Shi sat on the sofa and smoked non-stop. Both of them were analyzing whether Li Mo's idea was feasible.
"Boss, if we only sell in small quantities, plus be careful, there will be no problems with safety. But we still have a few issues to solve. The stone pondered for a long time before he said in a deep voice.
Li Mo didn't speak, but motioned for the stone to continue.
"We first have to solve the problem of the source of the arms. We only have a dozen guns, and we have to use them ourselves. There are certainly no extra guns to sell. The second is the issue of manpower. This is not an ordinary thing, but if it is exposed, I'm going to lose my head. Skinny Monkey, the sincerity of a few of them, I don't feel at ease. The third is the problem of the seller, who do we have a gun to sell to? This question is related to the second question, we all need a lot of heartfelt people to sell and trade. ”
Hearing the stone's words, Li Mo glanced at him appreciatively. These questions are also on Li Mo's mind. His dream was to be an arms dealer; And your ability has a special bonus effect on machining. Especially arms. As long as it's a three-dimensional diagram of ordnance stored in your mind. You can come up with detailed drawings and parameters for each part yourself. Although I can't get the precision machines of the military industry now, I can transform them. It's just that the control and hands-on ability of my current abilities are insufficient. You need to exercise your own manual modification and control ability.
Thinking of this, Li Mo said flatly, "After the Internet café opens, you will go to train a few thin monkeys." Heartiness is also to be cultivated. We don't have that much money to buy machinery and equipment now. The only way to do this is to train people first. And you can also go to some veterans, to go to those poor places, to find people who are in dire need of money to save their lives. As long as we can solve their problems, we can let them do things for us. After finishing speaking, Li Mo knew that the biggest problem now was money. And there are many deficiencies in his own words, such as some veterans are strong patriots, let them make and sell arms in the country, will they be disgusted or even refused. This needs to be tested and verified later.
"Okay, I can go to my former comrades first. Some of them have families in difficulty. I don't know if it's okay now. I haven't been in touch with them in years. Shi pondered Li Mo's words for a while, nodded and said in agreement.
