Chapter 16: The Graphics Card Business
"Thank you, brother, I will work hard, then let's go to the mining machine first to see if they have the sincerity to buy?"
In the past, Ye Tian was incapacitated, he always wanted to call to solve problems, and when he encountered something, even if he knew that it was a business that could make money, he would grind and hesitate, instead of taking action immediately.
Now that he has completely changed, since Zhang Peng is here to sell mining machines, then don't waste time here.
Ye Tian accompanied Zhang Peng to the innermost counter of the computer city, specializing in mining machines.
When he arrived here, Zhang Peng sighed, because the ground inside and outside the counter was full of mining machines, stacked all the way to the roof.
The emergence of mining machines is a revolution in the computer industry, with ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and too many stories of getting rich overnight and returning to poverty overnight.
Originally, the graphics card of the computer was only used to play games, and the more advanced the graphics card, the more gorgeous the game.
Those game manufacturers, in order to make money, are in cahoots with graphics card manufacturers, and games are eating more and more graphics cards, and players can only spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to upgrade their graphics cards infinitely in order to get a good game experience.
The people who produce the mining rigs are so smart that they use the graphics card for mining, so that the graphics card manufacturer has grasped a more lush lifeline.
Nowadays, these mining machines are all idle, and the graphics card is removed from the counter and sold separately.
In fact, within the industry, these graphics cards are called "slag", and in the process of 365 days of non-stop mining for 24 hours, they have long been overconsumed and have problems with their physique.
If someone else buys it back, it won't take half a year or six months, and there will be problems.
It is equivalent to just after the warranty period, the graphics card strikes, and then scrapped.
Ye Tian is familiar with the operation of the computer city, knows every counter, the boss's mind, as long as the graphics card can be sold, it doesn't matter if the motherboard and box of the mining machine are thrown away.
Ye Tian asked the price, which was two hundred yuan cheaper than the last few units sold by Yu Bing.
Zhang Peng shook his head angrily and pointed at the boss at the counter: "You mean, my mining machine is not as valuable as a graphics card, so I'll just remove the graphics card and just sell the graphics card to you?" β
The boss at the counter smiled: "Big brother, you're so right, do you know why a graphics card is more expensive than a mining machine?" That's because I bought your mining machine, and I had to hire a worker to remove the graphics card, and in the process of disassembly, there may be dangers. Do you know? Some miners are overworked, and the graphics card has been burned on the motherboard and cannot be removed. Pull it down hard, all the gold fingers are cracked, and it will be a waste when it comes down, and I will lose thousands of dollars in vain. If you only send the graphics card over, I'll pay for the installation test as soon as it can light up. β
"Holy shitβthere's still that in the world, flour is more expensive than bread!" Zhang Peng couldn't help but use foul language.
Inside and outside the counter, both of them are beneficiaries and victims of mining, and they empathize, and the boss of the mining machine has also played mining before, and the losses are equally heavy. When I quit, all my savings were gone.
Ye Tian looked at these two people, they seemed to be very rich and courageous, seized the opportunity and worked hard, but they were born in the wrong era, and made wrong judgments, and they were out of the game ahead of schedule without waiting for the peak of Bitcoin, so poverty has become inevitable.
Now, Ye Tianneng realizes that a real investment expert must be good at patience, just like a cheetah that comes out to hunt, silently hide, wait for an opportunity, rush out, and hit with one blow.
All he has to wait for is the relative highs of bitcoin in November. As long as he seizes this opportunity, it has nothing to do with him.
He was only a businessman, making money from price fluctuations, and he did not need to work hard at all to become a producer.
Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people.
China's ancestors have already made these things clear, and it is indeed the book's own golden house, and the book's own Yan Ruyu.
Zhang Peng regarded Ye Tian's silence as inferiority, turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, can you help me find someone, go to the warehouse, remove all the graphics cards on the mining machine, and then send them over for testing." Don't worry, I will give you all the wages and meals, and I will give you another commission. β
Ye Tian didn't think about it, and agreed: "No problem, brother, you leave this matter to me, the price is easy to say." Besides, you don't need to find someone at all, I'm okay on the counter anyway, bring two electric drivers, and a set of screwdrivers, go to your warehouse, and give it to you for free, I don't want a commission, there will be a good opportunity to make money in the future, you just take care of me. β
Zhang Peng didn't expect Ye Tian to be so righteous, so he agreed to come down in one bite, and he was a little caught off guard.
"Righteousness, brother, what a righteousness!" Zhang Peng gave Ye Tian a thumbs up.
The boss at the counter echoed with a smile: "Okay, Ye Tian, it's righteous enough!" β
From the eyes of the boss, Ye Tian clearly saw the other party's mockery - "Stupid, Bai Gang dismantles the graphics card and doesn't charge money, is it fucking stupid to learn advanced and do good deeds?" It's so stupid! β
He didn't understand at all that since Ye Tian decided to make money in the Bitcoin industry, he was trying to get close to these mining farm owners who owned Bitcoin, and only after hearing first-hand information could he decide how to plan next.
Ye Tian's ideological height is a hundred times higher than that of these stupid mine owners.
This time, only Ye Tian can become an invincible predator in the Bitcoin market, and finally jump into a generation of brilliant bosses.
Zhang Peng gave Ye Tian the address of his warehouse and asked him to go at any time.
"300 mining machines, you can dismantle them slowly, and it may not be dismantled in a week." The boss at the counter smiled, and he handed Ye Tian a business card.
"When you finish slowly dismantling it and send it over, it's best to help me test it again, and I'll give you money after the test." I'm not like others, I said I would give money but didn't give it, and when the time comes, help me test one, 20 yuan, and a penny won't be missing you. β
The name on the business card is Song Jian, Ye Tian looks a little familiar, but he can't remember who it is.
Ye Tian remained silent, just accompanied by a smile: "Anyway, disassembling and assembling the computer is not complicated, and the work done by the small workers has no technical content." β
Zhang Peng was next to him, listening to Song Jian's words, his face was a little unpleasant: "It costs 20 yuan to test a unit, do you treat this brother as a small worker?" He helped me dismantle one, and I gave 30! β
Ye Tian looked at the two of them, for 10 yuan and 20 yuan, he felt meaningless, and hurriedly said: "Two bosses, I don't want money for the mining machine to measure the graphics card, anyway, there is no one at my counter, and if you are idle, you will be idle, so you should make friends." However, I put it in my head, this business is what I introduced to the two of you, in the end, I don't want a commission, but you must have a reputation, as long as the price is finalized, how many graphics cards there are at that time, calculate clearly, don't pay a penny less to the other party, let's be honest, do business honestly, no one can cheat anyone. β
Zhang Peng and Song Jian laughed together, they probably hadn't seen a fool like Ye Tian, doing so much work, neither wages nor commissions, they were completely learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds, they were absolutely stupid!
