Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 414 The Biggest Problem (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Momo membership has now become a multi-platform payment card, which can be used not only in any Momo internet cafe, but also for making payments in all Momo-related apps.

Previously, Momo memberships were upgraded using points. However, after the Momo series of apps were launched, the points system was changed to a consumption system.

The original Momo points have been replaced by points earned by completing tasks and making purchases at designated merchants.

The points earned can only be redeemed for free internet access time and cannot be used to upgrade Momo membership. The Momo membership level upgraded with points will be retained and can be upgraded again through subsequent spending.

A cumulative spending of 1 yuan will earn you a Black Iron Card.

A cumulative spending of 100 yuan qualifies you for a Bronze Card.

A cumulative spending of 1000 yuan will qualify you for a Silver Card.

A cumulative spending of 5000 yuan qualifies you for a Gold Card.

A cumulative spending of 10000 yuan qualifies you for a Platinum Card.

A cumulative spending of 50000 yuan qualifies you for a Diamond Card.

A cumulative spending of 100000 yuan qualifies you for a Star Card.

A cumulative spending of 500000 yuan qualifies you for the Supreme Card.

Currently, the largest consumers of Momo Coins are Xiaonei.com and Lianzhong Games, and Xiaonei.com has now enabled gifting and tipping.

The school beauties can post a lazy photo on their personal homepage and say a few words like "I'm in a bad mood today," and they will receive dozens of loving hugs.

A hug costs one dollar, the school beauty gets 50 cents, the school's intranet takes 35 cents, and the internet cafe takes 15 cents.

The "simp economy" has always been the safest entrepreneurial venture.

Xiaonei.com not only capitalized on the "simp economy," but also launched various paid services such as document writing, thesis editing, and Q&A. In addition, Xiaonei.com launched a university errand service, where users from the same university can place orders in the errand section to ask someone to bring them food, deliver documents, send flowers, send love letters, and so on.

Although it's only a small amount of money, like one or two yuan, it can't stop the huge user base.

If everyone contributes a little love, Renren.com will become a wealthy company.

In a few days, Gao Lifu will submit a letter of opinion on canceling broadband access in university dormitories to the National Education Industry Association.

Handong University, as a pilot university for canceling broadband in dormitories, has achieved very impressive results after a year of piloting the program.

There were 0 instances of unauthorized electrical wiring.

The survey found 0 instances of people playing games all night.

The number of people found to be addicted to the internet was 0.

These three zeros alone are enough to turn this letter of opinion into an official document.

Once this policy is implemented, Xiaonei.com will be twice as happy and its revenue will double.

However, this would require an increase in the number of computers in university computer labs, as each university only has about 200 computers, which is clearly insufficient.

The production speed of Honor computers has now reached a bottleneck, and this bottleneck is that the recycling speed of used computers cannot keep up with the production speed.

Although the supply of electronic waste has increased, Honor computers are still stuck at a daily production rate of 3000 units.

If Honor Computer wants to develop further, it needs to become a computer assembly company like other domestic computer groups. However, Honor Computer does not yet have the ability to independently research and develop and produce computers.

Although everyone says that Lianxiang Shenzhou is an assembly plant, this assembly plant is not the kind of assembly that normal people imagine.

Honor Computer's refurbishment of used computers only involves the system and cleaning process.

However, computer research and development and production is another process. Various components come from different manufacturers, and to integrate these different components, it is necessary to negotiate with the barebone system.

A barebone system doesn't refer to an operating system, but rather to a system that brings together all the components into an optimized whole, which is also the most expensive part of a computer.

Apart from Inspur Group and Lianxiang Group, which have the capability to design and assemble barebone systems, other computer companies in China order each barebone system from overseas companies for $260. In other words, before the computer even starts production, nearly $1500 has already been paid out, which is another reason why computer costs remain high.

Before Honor Computers possesses the capability to design and assemble barebone systems, it cannot venture into the branded PC market.

Honor computers are currently only producing enough to ensure the steady progress of Momo Internet Cafe; there are simply no extra computers to support university computer labs.

But now, university computer labs are a trump card against Shengda, and also the most important step for Honghuang Zhanji to gain a foothold in the market outside the province.

Shengda spent so much money to get college students to accept the Legend game and its gameplay. They've already built a strong market. It would be a real shame if they couldn't maximize their profits.

These past few days, Cheng Yi has been thinking about how to increase the production of Honor computers and increase the number of computers in the university's computer lab as soon as possible. Now that the university is about to have its summer vacation, he must come up with a solution during this period.

After all, when college students return from their Spring Festival holiday, they will receive the 'good news' that the dormitory internet will be cut off.

"Cheng Yi, you've been frowning these past few days. Is something bothering you?" At this moment, Lin Qingyin placed a plate of sliced ​​fruit in front of Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi briefly explained the problems they were facing to Lin Qingyin.

Lin Qingyin's logical thinking ability far surpasses his; she can clearly remember and thoroughly understand anything she has ever seen.

This is talent, something that ordinary people can't compare to.

You could say that geniuses like Lin Qingyin from the gifted youth program are somewhat like AI.

As long as they are fed enough knowledge and their knowledge base is expanded, they will be able to apply what they have learned to other situations.

After listening to Cheng Yi's description, Lin Qingyin frowned and began to think.

To acquire more than 600,000 computers in two months is simply an impossible feat.

In ancient times, only Zhuge Liang's "borrowing arrows with straw boats" accomplished this seemingly impossible feat.

We can't exactly use the "borrowing arrows with straw boats" tactic, can we?
Lin Qingyin thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I can't think of any good ideas, it's too difficult."

“Yes, I’ve been thinking about this for almost five days.” Cheng Yi pulled Lin Qingyin into his arms and laughed, “Let me hug you so I can find some inspiration.”

Lin Qingyin's cheeks flushed slightly as she let Cheng Yi do as he pleased. Feeling Cheng Yi's hands becoming increasingly excessive, Lin Qingyin whispered, "Don't...don't do this."

Lin Qingyin's soft murmur stirred a surge of impulse within Cheng Yi.

His past experiences have given him exceptional self-control, especially when it comes to women, where his self-control is terrifyingly strong.

Because most entrepreneurs who can't control their own groin end up wearing yellow vests as a form of public shaming.

Cheng Yi has suffered losses with women before, so he pays special attention to this aspect.

During the years he rose to prominence in the business world, his relationships with every woman were fleeting, physical intimacy without any real commitment.

For no other reason than fear. Once bitten, twice shy. He knew many successful internet entrepreneurs, some of whom had fallen victim to honey traps, some to marriage scams, and some to rape charges—a wide variety of cases.

Many people blame the woman for this or that, but it takes two to tango; the responsibility for such matters is equally shared.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of self-control.

If a person cannot even control their own desires, then they cannot control their own life.

Since his rebirth, Cheng Yi has been extremely cautious in such matters.

After all, there are far too many cases like "dying before achieving victory, but forever wearing a yellow horse."

But now, looking at Lin Qingyin's pretty face, which was like a budding flower, he felt a real restlessness.

Feeling the burning intensity in Cheng Yi's eyes, Lin Qingyin became somewhat frightened. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "This...this place won't work."

"Hmm?" Lin Qingyin's words made Cheng Yi's heart skip a beat.

Cheng Yi looked at Lin Qingyin with surprise and asked, "Do you know what I want to do?"

"Mmm." Lin Qingyin lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

Feeling Cheng Yi's slightly reproachful gaze, she, who was never one to lie, stammered like a child who had done something wrong, "Chen Shihui dragged us to see it. I didn't know it was that kind of movie."

"Domestic or foreign?" Cheng Yi asked.

"They seem to be from Hong Kong..." Lin Qingyin said in a barely audible voice, her head lowered and her hands clutching the hem of her clothes. "There was a girl with a big mouth, and a middle-aged man who looked fierce..."

Lin Qingyin's cheeks looked as if they were covered with a red cloth.

This matter troubled her for a long time because she felt like she was a bad girl.

"I only watched for a short while," Lin Qingyin tried to explain.

“You’re almost 19 now, it’s normal for you to watch this kind of movie,” Cheng Yi said with a smile. “Don’t feel guilty.”

Cheng Yi pulled Lin Qingyin onto his lap and said with a smile, "I'll get some high-definition, uncensored videos for us to watch together another day."

"High-definition and uncensored?" Lin Qingyin had heard Jiang Yuxi mention this term before; it was said to be a killer technique in the sales industry.

She was already interested in the word Jiang Yuxi used, and when she heard that Cheng Yi also had a high-definition, uncensored version, she immediately said, "Okay, when?"

"Hmm?" Cheng Yi felt something was off again.

At a time like this, shouldn't she be showing shyness? Why is she looking expectant instead?

His Yinyin has really been led astray by that bastard Chen Shihui.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qingyin asked in confusion, "I've always wanted to see what high-definition, uncensored images look like."

"Um... I'll go to the video store tomorrow and see if I can find it." Cheng Yi didn't know how to answer anymore.

He changed the subject, saying, "Does Chen Shihui often watch those kinds of movies?"

"No," Lin Qingyin said somewhat embarrassedly, "I only saw it once. Later, her computer couldn't connect to the internet, so she sold it cheaply."

“Sell it cheaply…” Lin Qingyin’s words immediately reminded Cheng Yi.

Yes, many people choose to sell their computers cheaply after they can no longer access the internet.

The selling price was less than half of what it originally cost.

At universities like Handong University, many freshmen are provided with computers upon enrollment. Although most of them only use them for playing games, the moment you enter university, you are in a phase where you can get whatever you want. You have to apply to your family for a mobile phone and a computer.

Why not just find a way to get these college students with computers to share their computers?
Those who are willing to share their computers for a year can receive 800 hours of free internet access, after which the computers will be returned.

If you are still willing to share after one year, you can continue to receive 800 hours of free internet access.

This will solve the problem of insufficient computers in the computer lab.

We'll give them a small banner later, change the newly added computer room to a shared computer room, and put the names of the sharers on the computers as a token of our gratitude.

Sometimes, many things become so easy to solve once you find the right approach.

As for recycling used computers, Cheng Yi had already come up with a solution.

By setting up a used computer recycling point in Momo Internet cafes in 274 prefecture-level cities, and having members of the family-finding website act as salespersons, offering a reward of 10 yuan for each computer recycled, the problem of sourcing used computers can be solved, as well as the livelihood problem of the family-finding website members.

The problem was easily solved. Cheng Yi immediately picked up Lin Qingyin and laughed, "Qingyin, you're simply my lucky charm. You wait here, I'll go get some high-definition uncensored stuff right now, and we'll watch it tonight."

"Okay." Although Lin Qingyin didn't understand why Cheng Yi was so happy, seeing him so happy made her feel happy too.

Cheng Yi turned on the computer for Lin Qingyin and said, "If you're bored, try hacking into the Legend server to kill time. If you succeed, you'll be the biggest contributor to our group."

"I definitely can't do it." Lin Qingyin shook her head slightly and said, "Their server's security level is too high."

"Just hacking around for fun." Cheng Yi smiled and quickly left the office.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Bai Yiheng arguing with a woman with a good figure. Bai Yiheng was a good person in terms of interpersonal skills and efficiency, but he just couldn't control his genitals.

In Zhang Gang's words, Bai Yiheng's mistresses could almost form a platoon.

Cheng Yi originally wanted Bai Yiheng to help him buy it, since Bai Yiheng was very familiar with this industry, but after thinking about it again, he felt he couldn't bring himself to ask.

He's still too thin-skinned when it comes to buying movies.

If the people in the group found out that he went to buy movies, wouldn't he lose face?
With this in mind, Cheng Yi could only quietly ride his scooter Mulan towards the bookstore and audio equipment street in the Shinan District.

Regardless of his past or present life, he has never bought such a thing.

In his previous life, he was an outstanding student who was admitted to Handong University. After graduation, he entered the Internet age and could watch anything he wanted on his computer without having to buy it.

This can be considered his debut in buying films.

Before long, he arrived at the bookstore and audio equipment street in Shinan District.

Based on online advice, he deliberately found the smallest and most secluded music and video store and sneaked inside.

The music store was small, with only two shelves displaying dozens of rows of discs. Judging from the disc titles alone, they all looked incredibly exciting. But Cheng Yi knew that these discs were just a facade, containing nothing of substance.

Cheng Yi really wanted to ask if they had any Japanese or Korean films, but the shop owner was a woman who still had a charming appearance. He tried several times but couldn't bring himself to ask. He could only deliberately search around, hoping that the shop owner would figure it out herself and ask him.

Just as Cheng Yi was rummaging through the discs, Lin Qingyin in the office dialed Jiang Yuxi's number and said, "Yuxi, Cheng Yi went to buy those high-definition, uncensored discs you mentioned. Do you want to come and watch them together?"
