Chapter 5: Zhang Chen's 'Vision'
said that it was a celebration banquet, but in fact, it would be better to say that Hua Tian wanted to let the big guys get together together, and with Zhang Chen's ascension to the top of the beautiful clothes, he just called the people who Hua Tian and Zhang Chen knew together to exchange feelings.
"Zhang Chen, are you going to the bar?" After eating, Hua Tian, who came out of KTV, who had not yet had a good time, drunkenly hugged Zhang Chen and said. Huatian's nightlife is very rich, and the beautiful life has just begun, how can you go back so early?
"It hurts... Go home and go home. Before Zhang Chen was ready to refuse, Hua Tian began to wail. Chen Shiyun's hand began to torture the tender flesh on Hua Tian's waist, and Hua Tian, who was in pain, immediately put away his thoughts of going to the bar.
"Brother Tian, do you have something to do tomorrow? If it's okay, find a place to talk about low-end mechanical keyboards. When Zhang Chen mentioned the low-end mechanical keyboard in Xie Tian, he wanted to talk to Xie Tian about it, but because it was inconvenient in the private room, he wanted to talk to Xie Tian alone after sending away Hua Tian and Zhao Hao.
"It's fine. Recently, I have hired a few employees, and they are handling the affairs of the online store, and I mostly do reconciliation. Xie Tian shook his head and said. The company was quickly approved, and Xie Tian also recruited a few employees in advance, compared to the previous time when he and his wife dealt with the online store, it can be said that it is very easy now.
Seeing that Xie Tian was fine, Zhang Chen took a taxi with Xie Tian, found a nearby teahouse to sober up, and began to talk about peripherals.
"Brother Tian, do you think the mechanical keyboard has a way out in the future?" Zhang Chen directly asked the most critical question. The purpose of opening an online store is to make money, if the product has no sales, what can you do to make money?
"I think there will be good sales." Xie Tian said without confidence. He found this low-end mechanical keyboard, just because many people asked about the mechanical keyboard and said that the price was unacceptable, so he wanted to find a low-end mechanical keyboard and put it on the online store for sale. But what the real effect is, to be honest, Xie Tian has no bottom in his heart.
"Brother that day, you only plan to put the low-end mechanical keyboard on the online store to sell?" Zhang Chen asked again.
"Where else can you sell it? Is it difficult to go to an Internet café to sell keyboards? 300 yuan a keyboard, the owner of the Internet café refused to use such an expensive keyboard. Xie Tian said angrily, he didn't think about going to the Internet café to sell, but he was angry when he thought of the Internet café owner's face.
As early as when he used to focus on the magic scorpion keyboard and mouse set, Xie Tian once went to the Internet café to sell it. But most bosses shake their heads, what's the use of looking good? The Twin Swift is more than twice as cheap as your keyboard and is sturdy and durable. So thankfully I hit a wall in most internet cafes.
However, there are also young Internet café owners who want to buy the magic scorpion suit, but Xie Tian is a little speechless when he asks questions one by one.
"Sturdy or not? Is it waterproof? "The membrane keyboard is waterproof, and as for the quality, it is no worse than the double delphinium.
"Are there any lights? Do the keys feel like a mechanical keyboard? ”
"How many years does it last?"
"The price is about the same as that of Shuangfeiyan."
Xie Tian didn't want to continue to communicate with these Internet café owners. If you want the feel of a mechanical keyboard, well, the keyboard is the feel of the mechanical keyboard. To light, there is, too. How many years? How many years does this thank God know how many years it will last? If you leave it for ten years, it won't break, and if you tap the keyboard every day for a few days, it will break.
Finally, there are Internet café owners who want to buy it, but the price has to be about the same as Shuangfeiyan's. Thank you for wanting to slap this Internet café owner to death. There are many things you want, and the price can't exceed fifty yuan. The atmosphere of thanksgiving dropped a sentence, "The price is ten yuan a set, but it is not sold." And he walked away.
"It turns out that Brother Tian, you still have such a tragic experience." After listening to what Xie Tian said, Zhang Chen gloated.
"What are you laughing at, I'm glad I met you kid, otherwise I might still be selling keyboards in Internet cafes now." Xie Tian took a sip of tea, calmed down for a while, and said happily. At the beginning, Xie Tian didn't expect Zhang Chen to be able to make his online store so big, but he just wanted to sell one more and count one, and only cooperated with Zhang Chen after adding the introduction of the mood, but now that I think about it, I am really afraid that I will refuse Zhang Chen's mention at the beginning.
"Okay, don't laugh, but Brother Tian, you're really right, this keyboard is first promoted in Internet cafes." Zhang Chen saw that Xie Tian's feelings had calmed down, and brought up this stubble again.
"Then you kid will sell it yourself, I won't go." Xie Tian also said that if Zhang Chen really decided, then Xie Tian would have to bite the bullet.
"Then I must have gone to sell it, could it be that I can still ask you to thank Boss Xie to sell keyboards in person?" Zhang Chen looked at Xie Tian and quipped.
"Didn't I set up an Internet café with that Brother Tian, first replace all the keyboards in this Internet café, and then I will open a new Internet café, and use all mechanical keyboards." Zhang Chen told his plan.
"Then you can't always open an Internet café, how can a new Internet café be shipped without opening this keyboard?" Although the Internet café will buy a batch of keyboards at one time, how can there be so many Internet cafes that will buy it, it is estimated that only Zhang Chen's Internet café will sponsor a few orders for himself.
"Listen to me, Brother Tian." Zhang Chen was about to continue, but was interrupted by Xie Tian: "The important thing is not to buy from an Internet café. Rather, it's people who go online to buy keyboards. Have you ever used a mechanical keyboard? ”
"I've used it once or twice, and it feels like that, not to mention the price, it doesn't feel much different from other keyboards." Although Xie Tian is in the peripheral industry by himself, he is not fascinated by peripherals at all, and he uses mechanical keyboards because of experimental products.
"That's all it takes to tell you, so let's tell you. That Tiange played games in the studio for a few days, and then he went straight to a whole set of peripherals. Zhang Chen said that his saliva was dry for a long time, and he took a sip of tea and continued: "Do you know why? Because mechanical keyboards have dependencies! ”
"Dependency? I don't feel much worse. "Thank goodness I can't feel any difference.
"I said yes, yes!" Zhang Chen and Xie Tian couldn't communicate, so they had to ignore the topic of dependence, and continued: "Brother Tian, if you go to an Internet café, the keyboard and mouse of the first Internet café have a keyboard and mouse and headphones, and the Internet price is three yuan an hour, and the second Internet café headset is Steel's V2, the sound effect is very good, although the keyboard is not a famous brand, but it is a tall mechanical keyboard, the mouse is still very cool, the mouse feels very good, and even the mouse pad is very large." The price is also three dollars an hour, which Internet café will you choose to go to? ”
"It must be a second Internet café, they all cost the same money, why don't I choose the good one?" Xie Tian made peripherals, so he naturally knew that the peripherals of the second Internet café that Zhang Chen said were about to catch up with the equipment of amateur peripheral enthusiasts.
"That's it, my plan is to replace all the core Internet cafes with the peripherals I mentioned, which Internet café do you think our college Internet users will go to?" Zhang Chen continued.
"Then it must be to go to your Internet café, not to mention the high configuration of the machine, the peripherals are very good, but Zhang Chen, what do you do to make money? Besides, we're talking about this keyboard now, not your Internet café. Xie Tian saw that Zhang Chen said from the periphery that the Internet café was surfing, and even the Internet fee was said, and hurriedly reminded Zhang Chen not to divert the topic.
"Oh, Brother Tian, you just have to listen patiently." was interrupted by Xie Tian again, and Zhang Chen began to complain about Xie Tian. "With the same price and different game experience, I believe that people who go online will definitely choose the core Internet café to go online."
"In this way, other Internet café owners will definitely get the news, now the competition in Internet cafes is so fierce, I believe that seeing the core Internet café so popular, there will be an enlightened boss to choose to buy a mechanical keyboard."
After speaking, Zhang Chen lit a cigarette and quietly waited for Xie Tian to think about what he said.
"That's a good word, but what if there is no enlightened boss?" Although Xie Tian felt that Zhang Chen's words were very right, he still felt that those Internet café owners would not buy mechanical keyboards because of this.
"Brother Tian, why are you so stubborn? It's you who want to sell low-end mechanical keyboards, and now I'm helping you come up with ideas, but you all reject my plans, so don't sell them as soon as possible. Zhang Chen was completely speechless and said angrily.
"I..." Xie Tian also thought that he was very angry about selling keyboards back then, and he didn't have a good impression of those bosses. told Zhang Chen the reason.
"So, Brother Tian, if you let him use a membrane keyboard if you are used to a person who is used to a mechanical keyboard, it will feel very awkward, just like Brother Tian, why did he take a set of peripherals, not because he was used to using a mechanical keyboard?" Zhang Chen talked eloquently and began to talk about the dependence of mechanical keyboards. "Once the peripherals of the core Internet café are replaced, the popularity will inevitably be hot, and it will also cultivate a large number of fans of the core Internet café. When they use their own keyboards, they will feel very difficult to use, and the price of more than 300 yuan is not an unacceptable price, I believe that many people will choose to buy their own mechanical keyboard. ”
"Is it just the business of the stone market? Don't do other business? Although Xie Tian didn't understand what the dependence of mechanical keyboards was, after listening to Zhang Chen's words, he still knew that Zhang Chen planned to sell the keyboard in the stone market first.
"It's good that someone in the stone market buys it, and then you can accumulate popularity for free postage." Zhang Chen didn't want to do this, but now is not the time when mechanical keyboards are popular, far from the kind of Internet cafes in later generations, most of them have mechanical keyboards, so they have to rely on the dependence of mechanical keyboards to make online stores sell some.
"Brother Tian, I don't know if you believe it or not, Internet cafes will definitely popularize mechanical keyboards in the future. It's just not time yet. Zhang Chen said to Xie Tian with certainty. In the first few years, Internet cafes were used for people to surf the Internet, and now when they play online games, the development trend is more and more towards the game experience.
It is not only the requirements for the configuration of the machine, but also the requirements for the external components and the environment. This is also the reason why Zhang Chen is so sure that there is a market for low-end mechanical keyboards.
And what Zhang Chen wants is the opportunity for the innovation of Internet café equipment, and the replacement of keyboards in Internet cafes in Shishi alone will generate a large number of orders. As long as you get some of it, you will make a lot of money if you have it.
Under Zhang Chen's explanation, Xie Tian finally agreed to Zhang Chen's construction and decided to get the general agent of this keyboard in Ji Province.
This is also after Zhang Chen carefully looked at the keyboard before he decided to let Xie Tian do it, the keyboard of the Guantai green axis, one of the three mainstream domestic switches in later generations, although the feel is worse than the cherry axis, the Serial axis and other well-known foreign axes feel worse, but the low-end keyboard also wants a high-end experience, which is really unrealistic.
"In the past few days, I have tried to find a way to get the agent of Ji Province, and I have also discussed with Huaxin and Wang Feng about replacing the keyboard in the Internet café." After Zhang Chen finished Xie Tian's work, he still had to do the work of Huaxin and Wang Feng.
If Hua Tian is managing the Internet café, it must be a matter of one sentence, but the Internet café is managed by Wang Feng and Hua Xin with himself, and Hua Tian doesn't ask a word. This kind of thing has to be discussed with Wang Feng.
It was also more than one o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chen was also a little sleepy, and after finalizing the matter about the keyboard, Xie Tian also drove Zhang Chen to the rented community and drove home.
