Qin Hongfei naturally knew that it would cost more to open an Internet café than an electrical appliance store, and was not surprised by Xia Shangxu’s reaction: “TVs and other things were fine a few years ago, but now they are not so much in demand, but computers are different.”
Around the millennium, as long as the families in Qinhuai Street were not so poor, they could scrape together enough money to buy a TV.
Computers were different!
Luxury goods, high-priced goods, no one can afford them.
If someone want to play, just go to an Internet cafe!
And there were five Internet cafés in Qinhuai Street! Qin Hongfei investigated all these.
“Uncle, if you don’t have a TV at home, you can go to someone else’s house. What about a computer? If you want to use it, you must come to an Internet café.”
After all, this thing was not something that can be borrowed or used whenever you want: “Do you think I’m right?”
Xia Shangxu crossed his arms and nodded: “Yes, you are right, but Feifei, do you know how much a computer costs? 10,000 is a low base price. If you want to open an Internet café, even if it is a black Internet café, you must have at least 50 computers, which cost 500,000. You also have to rent a place! The electricity bill is also amazing, which is another expense.”
“500,000…”
“After spending 500, 000 yuan, you have to spend more money on this thing. If you don’t spend enough money, the equipment will be bad, it will get stuck, and the business will not be good! And there are many Internet cafés on Qinhuai Street, at least five. Are we competing with them for business?”
Children were so naive.
“What if it doesn’t cost 500,000?” Qin Hongfei was refuted one by one, but she was not angry. Instead, she felt that Xia Shangxu was thinking long-term, which was good. This was the way to do business.
“What if the cost can be controlled within half the price? And the performance of the equipment can be guaranteed.”
“Impossible.” Xia Shangxu said: “I know about computers. A good computer is worth at least 20,000, and an ordinary one is worth more than 9,000 or 10,000.”
“The assembled one is different from the reassembled one.”
Qin Hongfei explained to him seriously: “Computer parts are all kinds of things. Every part is shipped from a channel, purchased, and passed through the hands of the middleman, and then there is a profit. When it is in the hands of the technicians, it takes time to assemble it, and then there is another profit!”
The profit of assembling a computer was at least not less than 1,000 yuan! It sounds exaggerated, but it was very normal.
After all, not everyone knows the computer assembly technology.
And the middleman will make 2,000 yuan after the parts are all kinds of things.
In other words, the cost of a 9,000 yuan computer saves the retail price of the middleman, and its real value may be around 5,000 yuan.
After Qin Hongfei analyzed these a little bit.
Qin Yun and Qin Fei already looked serious as if they understood, but they were biting their chopsticks. They couldn’t understand it at all!
But seeing that everyone understood, they had to understand even if they didn’t, otherwise wouldn’t it show they were little fools?
Tang Jinnan, Shou, and Xia Shangxu understood.
Xia Shangxu smiled and crossed his legs: “Feifei, even if it’s only 5,000, 50 units will cost 250,000! This is feasible, but you also said that it’s not so easy to save the price of the middleman and the assembly price…”
You must have a channel first!
You must have connections and acquaintances. Even if they open it now, it will cost money: “50 units can make some money, but it will take a long time to return to the profit cost. Besides, it is difficult for me to raise so much money at the moment.”
“What if we can save more?” Qin Hongfei asked calmly. Since she had given a plan, she was thoughtful.
“… Save more?” Xia Shangxu was stunned: “How to save?”
Isn’t it already very economical? The profit of the middleman and the profit of the technical assembly are all saved. How can people be so capable? Saving here and there.
“Second-hand machine?” Tang Jinnan suddenly spoke up, looking at Qin Hongfei, and asked: “Really?”
