The next day, the registration had not yet started, and there was nothing to do, so Su Zelin ran to the computer city.

He's going to get a computer.

It just so happens that in the first half of this year, the financial institute has built the second generation of campus network, the network has radiated from the previous teaching building and library to the student dormitory, and you can access broadband in the school, so the computer must be bought as soon as possible.

Like the vast majority of college students, Su Zelin's chosen solution is DIY.

A whole set of brand machines is too expensive, and a lot of unnecessary money is paid IQ tax, and people who know a little bit of computers will install their own machines.

Bastard is the earliest group of netizens, even in the previous life, this timeline is more familiar with computer hardware, and later many classmates in the college class still asked him to help DIY computers, not to mention after being reborn.

When I entered the computer city, there were small shops in it, and business was very good.

It was only in the 90s that computers were gradually recognized and accepted by the public, and the emergence and popularization of the Internet made the computer market hot.

The year 2000 was the beginning of the golden decade of the domestic PC market.

There are a lot of brands of various computer accessories, some of which people in later generations have never heard of, such as the Quantum Fireball.

The hottest hard drive brand in the 90s of the last century was not IBM, not Maxtor, but Quantum.

In that era when the performance requirements for hard drives were not very high, Quantum won a large number of users with the low price of big foot hard drives. Bigfoot HDDs are not traditional 3.5-inch, but 5.25-inch, which makes it easy to make large capacities and reduce the price.

The brand's high-performance hard drives are the Fireball series, which led to the eventual collapse of Quantum's hard drive division. On the 10th generation of fireball hard disks, because the driver chip of the motor is very unstable, the hard disk repair rate remains high, and the reputation among users plummets.

However, the current Quantum fireball is still quite capable of fighting, and it is also the first computer hard drive for many post-80s netizens.

The same brand that disappeared from the public eye in later generations is the elite motherboard, which was earlier than ASUS in terms of its establishment time, and once achieved the second place in the world's DIY motherboard shipments with its high cost performance, but with the shrinking of the DIY market, the elite eventually withdrew from the field of DIY motherboards and focused on OEM foundry, but its fate is better than Quantum, at least it can still live.

In addition to the Cyrix processor, the CPU market in the nineties can be described as a hundred schools of thought, Cyrix's processor is not inferior to intel's processors of the same period, and there is a good price advantage, but with the release of the toothpaste factory Pentium, it has achieved an absolute leading position in the processor market, and the unrivaled Cyrix gradually declined, and was later acquired by VIA, which is also the source of VIAx86 technology.

In the 20 years before Su Zelin's rebirth, some companies have become big brothers from little brothers, such as Nvidia defeated and acquired Voodoo, and massage parlors acquired ATI, becoming a global duo in the field of CPUs and graphics cards.

The big waves sweep the sand, and those who can still stand firmly after the tide of the times have receded can become the real tide makers.

Feeling the cruelty of the times, Su Zelin went straight to a small shop.

A small plaque of "Fenfei Technology" hangs on the door, and inside the store, a young man in his early thirties is installing a system on a new machine that has just been installed.

"Brother Xiao Yang!"

The bastard took the initiative to say hello.

The young man was slightly stunned, his real name is Yang Fen, Brother Xiao Yang is a nickname, and people who are generally familiar with him know it, but this guest is very raw, not like a regular customer.

Maybe I was introduced by a regular customer, so let him call me that.

"Hello!"

Brother Xiao Yang nodded politely at him.

Su Zelin naturally knew him, of course, only in his previous life, when his first computer was equipped here.

The owner Xiao Yang is enthusiastic and kind, the charge is reasonable, and the usual recommendations are cost-effective configurations, and later many people in the class looked for bastards to help with computers, and he chose this store, and the two of them became familiar with each other.

More than ten years later, Yang Fen developed a large channel business from this small computer accessories store, and Su Zelin is also the president of a large company in Shenghai.

These shops in the computer city are mixed, there are honest businessmen and black businessmen, although Su Zelin is knowledgeable, but since there are acquaintances, there is no need to trouble and try his luck with other shops.

"I want a computer!"

Su Zelin got straight to the point and handed over a computer configuration sheet that had already been written.

Brother Xiao Yang took it in his hand and glanced at it, and couldn't help but be slightly moved.

This configuration is a high-end route,Pentium3CPU,128M memory,20G hard disk,The three major pieces were the top at the time,Plus17Inch Meig796FDThe diamond long display,The operation performance and visual experience are basically full at the moment。

However, high-end belongs to high-end, but no one is stupid and has a lot of money, none of the brand accessories on this configuration list have adopted the IQ tax, and the procurement needs of each accessory are clearly written.

Take the MeiG 796FD as an example, which is benchmarked against Sony's 17-inch Trilon display, the best CRT technology display at the moment.

As we all know, Sony Dafa is good, and Sony Dafa is wonderful, but Dafa is so expensive that it croaks.

There is no doubt about the things that Dafa has produced, but it's a pity that if you buy something from it, part of it has to pay a brand tax, which is commonly known as the IQ tax, and this part of the money is quite a lot.

Meige 796FD uses the original picture tube of Mitsubishi Diamond Long, which is similar to Dafa's Trilon technology, color performance and clarity are not said, 1600*1200 resolution in the general 1024*768, and even 800*600 The era can be called amazing.

The slight difference is that the former has three beams with a single gun, and the latter has three guns and three beams, but the actual experience gap is minimal.

However, it's such a small difference,Because of the IQ tax,Dafa's 17-inch Trilon display is more than a little bit more expensive,With this high money,You can invest in creating other good accessories。

There are some black businessmen in the computer city, and when they see customers who are stupid and have a lot of money, they will highly recommend Dafa's Trilon display, after all, it is expensive, and the profit is naturally high, but Brother Xiao Yang will be kind to the guests who pursue high-end, and usually recommend Meige or ViewSonic .

Except for the monitor, the other accessories are almost all cost-effective types, at least they will not pay IQ tax.

Behind this guest, there is a high finger point.

Brother Xiao Yang quickly came to a conclusion.

But he didn't expect that the configuration sheet was written by Su Zelin himself, because such student dogs usually don't know much about computers, or at most they don't know much about it, and they can't DIY such a good configuration sheet.

"Wait a minute!"

Brother Xiao Yang picked up a pen, and when it didn't take long, the quotation list was written, with a total price of more than 10,000 yuan.

If it weren't for the good writing of this configuration sheet, the same performance and experience, I'm afraid it would have been more than 16,000, and this successful DIY would have left 6,000, which is enough for another mid-range computer!

Su Zelin glanced at it casually and nodded with satisfaction.

Brother Xiao Yang's offer is still quite kind.

"Okay, you can match me!"

Su Zelin was also very cheerful, he could see that there was very little room for talking about this list.

"Some accessories are out of stock in our store, but we can transfer them to you, and the transfer fee is also free for you!"

Brother Xiao Yang explained.

The shops in the computer city will transfer goods to each other, which is not surprising, after all, there are various accessories brands, and it is impossible for a small store to have such a complete reserve, not to mention that the computer is still a luxury product, and a lot of reserves are needed.

"Yes!"

Su Zelin had already known these rules.

"I still have two machines to install here, and the guests are waiting for them, can you please sit down first!"

Brother Xiao Yang said apologetically.

Some businessmen will not remind them when they encounter this situation, and they will stabilize the customers first, so as not to let others have the patience to go to other stores to match.

This small detail can also see the character problem.

"It's fine!"

Su Zelin smiled.

"That's okay, you can give a deposit casually, and I'll let someone transfer the goods!"

It's another small detail that sees character.

The deposit of other computer shops usually costs several hundred, but Brother Xiao Yang has no requirements for this.

Of course, as long as the guests are not very extreme, at least a 100 deposit will be given.

These behaviors, which seemed silly to his peers, became the key to his future success.

There are so many shopkeepers in the computer city, but it is not unreasonable that Brother Xiao Yang in later generations is the most accomplished among them.

Su Zelin didn't ink either, and directly swiped the full amount.

Other people generally pay a deposit first when buying a computer, and then pay the balance only after the machine is ready.

Brother Xiao Yang glanced at him, and had a good impression of this student dog-looking person - this is a cheerful person who does things in an eclectic way!

Since there is a high finger behind his back, the master will definitely tell him to give a deposit first, but this college student didn't do it, which is related to personality.

Stingy people don't like stingy people, but cheerful people like cheerful people the most.

"I'll give you another fifty discounts!"

Su Zelin doesn't ink, and Brother Xiao Yang is better at talking, so he should make a friend.

After a few phone calls, the accessories that were not available in the store were quickly transferred.

After writing the receipt, Brother Xiao Yang poured a glass of water for Su Zelin: "Why don't you sit down first, or you can go to other places casually, and you can come back in about an hour to fill it for you!" ”

Su Zelin smiled: "Hehe, no need, I'll pretend it myself!" ”

"Do you pretend to be yourself?"

Brother Xiao Yang was a little surprised and a little embarrassed.

Su Zelin understood what he was embarrassed about.

"It's okay, if you break it, it's my own!"

"That'...... All right! ”

Brother Xiao Yang hesitated, and nodded the most.

Since the customer has bought this machine in full, even before the assembly is completed, it is someone else's, and of course has the right to assemble it himself.

Then when Brother Xiao Yang saw Su Zelin assembling the host in a slippery manner, and his skillful techniques and speed were almost not below him, he was surprised and understood one thing.

This college student is not a master behind him, he is the master himself!

Su Zelin opened an Internet café before his rebirth, and also did business in the field of digital computers, and he once cooperated with Brother Xiao Yang, so the installation is naturally a small case.

"It seems that my brother is an expert!"

Brother Xiao Yang praised him, intentionally or unintentionally chatted about the field of computer accessories, and then found that this young man knew more than he imagined.

No matter what topic, which brand, he can catch up with you and talk to the point, including the technical advantages of this brand, future prospects and so on.

This is no longer the standard of ordinary computer staff, and some computer store managers may not have such a good vision.

Brother Xiao Yang had to wonder if Su Zelin's family had ever opened a computer store, but he quickly denied this idea, the computer market was in full swing in 2000, who would be so stupid, knowing that he could make a lot of money but suddenly stopped opening it.

"Brother, your vision is really powerful, I don't know what to call it?"

After chatting about topics related to computer accessories, Brother Xiao Yang asked again.

Such a master, and a college student, is likely to be a good connection.

"My name is Su Zelin, a freshman from the Finance Academy!"

In addition to his name, Su Zelin directly reported the college, because he knew that Brother Xiao Yang would definitely ask next.

This person is very good at discovering the connections around him, even if it is an insignificant little person, in Xiao Yang's opinion, it may be very helpful to his business.

For example, if you are a college student or a freshman, and the DIY level is so high, you will definitely have classmates and friends who ask for help when you configure the computer in the future, and it is not your own decision to bring it to that store at that time, so this is a pretty good network, and it is likely to bring you a lot of future customer resources.

"I have this DIY level in my freshman year, and I have such a thorough understanding of this industry, and I have a future!"

Brother Xiao Yang gave a thumbs up, not just a sycophant, this student's ability is really strong, his mouth is very slippery, he is young and old, even if he doesn't study now, he can take off when he comes out and opens a computer shop.

"Hehe, it's okay!"

Su Zelin smiled slightly, his expression calm.

"Brother Zelin, are you interested in making some extra money?"

Just as the bastard guessed, Brother Xiao Yang really had an idea.

"In the future, there will definitely be many people looking for you to match, you can bring them to me for matching, and I will give you a five-percent commission!"

After a pause, he added: "Don't worry, I will never cheat your classmates and friends, the commission will be reduced from my own profits, and the price will not be raised because of this!" ”

It's another small detail that sees character.

If it is replaced by a black businessman, then the wool will come out of the sheep, but Yang Fen will not do this.

Some businessmen can play clever, while others are wise and foolish, and Yang Fen is the latter.

In the current market, even if the student dog is equipped with a low-end machine in Taiwan, it will cost more than 4,000, and some of the good ones will get 6 or 7 thousand, and the average is 5,000, and the 500% increase is 250 yuan.

Now the wages of many office workers and migrant workers are no more than four or five hundred yuan, and you can get an objective pocket money by bringing a helper machine.

However, Su Zelin is not an ordinary person, and the commission of more than 200 yuan is really not in sight, and the bastard has a longer-term goal.

"Hehe, of course you can, but maybe we have better opportunities to cooperate in the future, and we can make it bigger!"

Su Zelin narrowed his eyes.

In addition to equipping himself with a computer this time, the bastard also got to know Yang Fen by the way.

He plans to start his own business on campus, and his first business is related to computers and computer accessories.

The computer market is too hot, the demand is large, the profit is high, it is not too late to enter the market at this time, and he is aimed at college students, and the target group is very clear.

But it's not time to start school yet, so there's a lot going on, and I haven't met a few people yet, so I have to be patient.

Yang Fen was slightly awe-struck.

He heard Ye Wang from Su Zelin's tone.

This college student doesn't seem to be willing to be an intermediary for himself.

If it were someone else, Brother Xiao Yang might not take it to heart when he heard the word "cooperation".

After all, if you want to cooperate, you have to have strength.

What strength can a college student have?

But Su Zelin is different from ordinary college students.

First of all, the machine with tens of thousands of dollars showed its financial resources, and it is likely to be the background of the rich second generation.

Secondly, his strong DIY ability and analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the computer market and many of its spare parts brands, as well as his vision for future development, are also very profound and unique, which makes Xiao Yang dare not despise him.

Of course, he will not regard Su Zelin as a future partner because of this, these are not enough, the other party needs to come up with more things to attract him.

No matter what, Brother Xiao Yang still nodded: "Hehe, it's a good thing that young people have ideals and goals!" ”

This is said very tactfully, neither agreeing nor refusing, it depends on the situation.

The host is quickly installed in the chat.,Connect the monitor and power keyboard and mouse,Install the windows98 system,Ghost disk wind forest volcano version,It's faster than the direct pure version.,You can also restore the system at any time.。

By the way, I debugged the display, this MeiG 796FD has good quality control, and there are no bright spots and dark spots.

Before leaving, Su Zelin copied dozens of movies and thousands of songs in the store, and bought some game discs.

It takes time to apply for the campus network, and besides, it hasn't officially started yet, so it will definitely take several days to open it, and during this time, you can only watch movies and play stand-alone games for fun.

"Resident Evil 2", "Half-Life", "Tomb Raider", "StarCraft", "Heroes of Might and Right", as well as "Diablo" and "Diablo II", which was released this year and became a hit, is commonly known as the big pineapple, an ARPG game that is still very classic in later generations.

Brother Xiao Yang simply didn't charge money for these CDs, and even stuffed him with a few more, "Neverwinter Night" and "The Elder Scrolls" and "Might and Magic".

Dealing with such a bold person is happy, it is easy to have a good impression, and the after-sales of this Fenfei technology is also very competent, what problems are there during the warranty period, others will directly deal with you, even if the warranty period is not a small problem, the charge is low, just charge a cost price and labor money, unlike some black businessmen who often claim that the accessories are broken and have to be replaced.

These are the reasons why Su Zelin liked to find Brother Xiao Yang to match the machine in his previous life, and it is also the reason why he plans to cooperate with this computer store owner after he is reborn.

Subsequently, Brother Xiao Yang called a horse boy and drove a pickup truck to send the computer and Su Zelin back to the dormitory.

This intimate delivery service is not available in every store, and now the computer market situation is very good, many shopkeepers feel that it is not necessary, let customers take the computer back by themselves, but they do not know that many times the details determine the reputation and success or failure.
