Chen Xiao did not urge or force his father to do what he wanted.
He was reborn as a middle-aged man and knows the troubles of middle-aged people.
At Chen Qiang's age, it is no longer the age to seek change. What Chen Qiang needs is stability.
He has long been accustomed to the days of being a worker, the kind of days where he works step by step and knows what work he will do tomorrow.
Although his income is not high, he can barely support his family and he feels that his life is stable.
But if you change the environment, instead of going to work but starting a business alone, this requires some courage.
After a while, Chen Qiang seemed to have gone through a fierce inner struggle and said: "Son, I think what your mother said makes sense."
Chen Qiang took a puff of cigarette and said: "Your mother said that people move living things and trees move dead. Your uncle started out as a construction site worker. He and a few friends worked alone and gradually became famous."
"We work in a factory. Although it is stable, there are no surprises when we look at our age."
Chen Qiang had a heart-to-heart talk with his son tonight. He felt that his son had grown up. He said, "Your uncle has a car to drive. If I work in a factory, I will never drive a car in my life."
Chen Qiang shook off the cigarette ashes and said: "You have been admitted to Jiangzhou University with a full scholarship, and you also used the bonus given to you in the market to buy mobile phones for your mother and me, so I am not worried about you going to college. "
"I also want to take advantage of the fact that I am young and still have energy to work hard. I agree with what you just said!"
Chen Xiao smiled, picked up the tea cup and said, "Dad, I think your ability is no worse than that of my uncle. Grandpa Xiaoping also said that you must emancipate your mind!"
Cheers, father and son!
The addition of Chen Qiang really made Chen Xiao worry a lot.
Soon the first batch of Internet cafe card readers and more than two thousand magnetic cards were delivered by Zhou Linghua.
Chen Qiang took the knife and others to deliver it to one Internet cafe after another, and visited others to teach others how to use it.
Chen Xiao rode the 28-meter bar in high school, but his master became Chen Qiang again.
The promotion progress of the Internet cafe management system completely exceeded Chen Xiao's expectations.
In less than a week, 80% of regular Internet cafes in Jiangcheng City have used the Internet cafe management system.
In Jiangzhou, the Internet cafe management system also quickly gained popularity through word of mouth. Coupled with the fact that it is free, the coverage rate has reached about 70%.
Internet cafes compete with each other.
If the other party sees that you have a good thing, it is free to use and saves labor costs, and it can intelligently manage computers, then you must have it too!
"Equipment and cards are not enough?" Zhou Linghua was a little surprised when he received Chen Xiao's call.
"I've sent you the order. Please pay more attention, Mr. Zhou." Chen Xiao was so busy that he was sweating profusely.
Zhou Linghua joked: "I originally planned to produce card readers and cards just to give you face, but I didn't expect the quantity to be so large. In this way, I really have to treat it as a business."
After the chip is determined, the production of magnetic cards is actually purely mechanized, and the cost of a magnetic card is less than two yuan.
Chen Xiao gives away ten tickets for free to all Internet cafes. If you need one at the Internet cafe, you can buy it from Chen Qiang for 10 yuan each.
Calculated in this way, Chen Qiang's net profit from a card is about 8 yuan.
During this time, card sales reached 3,000.
The profit is more than 24,000.
Chen Xiao did not want any of this profit, and gave it all to Chen Qiang, Daozi and his friends to distribute.
Even so, Chen Qiang made more than 10,000 yuan in just one week.
Chen Qiang was stunned when he saw such profits!
He worked exhaustingly in the factory for only four to five hundred yuan a month.
Later, I went to Delong Electronics Factory. It was because the boss took care of me that my salary was raised to about 600.
Now I go it alone and just sell some cards, and I actually make more than 10,000 yuan.
The total income of Lao Chen's family in a year is just this amount.
Only then did Chen Qiang know what his son was doing every day and what was thinking in his mind.
Chen Qiang felt happy because this morning, the director of Jiangcheng Machinery Factory asked squad leader Wu why Chen Qiang didn't go to work?
Squad Leader Wu was Chen Qiang’s former immediate boss.
After the equipment accident at Jiangcheng Machinery Factory, squad leader Wu was scolded by Su Desheng and had to wear small shoes because of Chen Qiang.
Monitor Wu held a grudge against this, and now seeing that Chen Qiang was actually coming back to work, he felt very proud and was ready to take care of Chen Qiang.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiang refused directly and readily.
"Labour and management quit!"
"What will you eat if you don't work? Just rely on the money from the small commodities your family Lin Hui sells to cover your family's expenses?" Squad leader Wu was a little confused. He thought Chen Qiang was joking.
"Even if your Chen Xiao does well in the college entrance examination and gets admitted to a good university, he will have to find a job and marry a wife in the future. If you don't go to work in the factory, then you will find money to marry him?"
Obviously, Monitor Wu's thinking is still within the scope of making money only by working in a factory.
Chen Qiang didn't bother to talk nonsense with Squad Leader Wu, so he directly invited Squad Leader Wu out of the house.
Squad leader Wu, who came out of the family area, sneered and said to himself: "You are still so conceited at this age. Now you are laid off everywhere. Do you really think it is so easy to find a job? I see you will be badly injured by then, please. Come to work!"
The bankruptcy of Delong Electronics made Squad Leader Wu even more determined that only working in a state-owned enterprise can be considered a stable job.
…
Zhou Quan came out of the detention center.
He was sentenced to fifteen days of criminal detention for fighting and reselling pirated copies and HS DVDs.
Fortunately, the amount is not very large. If the amount sold was larger, it would not be a matter of criminal detention, but a sentence.
What makes Zhou Quan most uncomfortable is that this time he was almost single-handedly dealt with.
Not only was he detained, but the employees he brought out were also detained.
This brought the computer shop run by Zhou Quan to almost a standstill.
In these fifteen days, not only did I not earn a dime, I also left myself with a criminal record.
After Zhou Quan turned on his phone, he found countless missed calls.
Most of them were from Internet cafe owners who asked Zhou Quan to come over to maintain the system or do repairs, and there were also calls from Shenzhen City.
Zhou Quan quickly called back one after another.
"Hello, Mr. Feng, hello. I was on a business trip a few days ago and I just saw your call."
"Are you repairing your computer? No problem, we'll send someone over right away!"
"Ah? You've already found another merchant, okay, okay..."
"Hello, Mr. Li...oh...has it been processed? Okay, okay..."
Zhou Quan made more than ten calls in a row, but the other party said that they had found another merchant to perform maintenance or repairs.
Jiangzhou Computer City is so big, and Zhou Quan is not the only one doing computer repair and system maintenance.
Those who opened Internet cafes relied on their time to make money. They could not wait for Zhou Quan to complete his fifteen-day administrative detention and come over to repair his computer.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Quan angrily kicked the sycamore tree on the side of the road.
Obviously, he put this debt on Chen Xiao's head.
"Made Chen Xiao, set a trap for labor and management!"
Zhou Quan calmed down again. He couldn't earn much hard money by doing computer maintenance and repairs, and the competition was very fierce.
"Fortunately, the cheater should make a lot of money!"
Zhou Quan thought to himself that the recharge access points for the plug-in were given to the network administrator of the Internet cafe, and the maintenance of the plug-in was also done by the Yangcheng Head Office.
During the fifteen days he was detained, there must have been some problems with the plug-in business, right?
He suddenly remembered the call from Yangcheng.
