Chapter 118 Pan Yinian, the Profitable Fisherman
The little old man is called Pei Changqing.
He was wearing a sweatshirt, long pants, and had a goatee.
When he doesn't speak, he looks exactly like the old man taking a walk in the village.
But the questions asked by this little old man who looked like he came from the countryside were so sharp that not only the senior students who were asked to help, but even Qin Yuyan couldn't answer them.
Qin Yuyan had no choice but to resort to the tactic of procrastination. "Uncle, we have a live lecture and Q&A session this afternoon. When you see it, we will answer all your questions together, okay?"
Mr. Pei narrowed his eyes and said, "Miss, you don't know, do you?"
Qin Yuyan: "..."
Qin Yuyan took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Uncle, the questions you asked involve a lot of professional content and some company secrets. I really can't answer them. Why don't you take a look at this brochure first..."
Qin Yuyan really couldn't stand this old man anymore, so she handed him a brochure and wanted to run away.
Who wants to.
This little old man followed her like a dog-skin plaster, and even waited at the toilet door when she went to the toilet.
Qin Yuyan had completely lost her patience and wished she could just ask Mr. Pei to get out.
Then, she threw 100 yuan in Pan Yinian's face and yelled, "I quit."
Pan Yinian, who happened to be coming downstairs, saw this scene and quickly winked at Qin Qin, "Sister Qin Qin, whether we can break the deadlock depends on you."
Who would have thought that just as Qin Qin was about to walk over, Uncle Pei waved his hand.
"Don't come over here, and you don't have to tell me. I came in after you, and you may not know as much as I do now. Also, businessmen like you are too cunning, I don't trust them." Grandpa Pei pointed at Pan Yinian and Su Ying, "Let them tell me."
"..."
Qin Qin almost died from anger.
But on the surface, Qin Qin chuckled and patted Pan Yinian on the shoulder, "I'm talking to you, why don't you go over there quickly? Oh, I have to listen too. Maybe I don't know as much as others."
Qin Qin was smiling on her face, but she started cursing in her heart.
If not, this little old man looked nothing like Pan Yinian, she would really doubt whether this little old man was Pan Yinian's biological grandfather.
Otherwise, why are these two people exactly the same when they are angry?
I want to see if you, an old man, can come up with any new ideas.
No, I have to sign a few orders quickly, otherwise, without this old man laughing at me, Pan Yinian, that little bastard, will laugh at me to death...
With this thought, Qin Qin locked onto a middle-aged man with a foreign accent...
As soon as Mr. Pei opened his mouth, Pan Yinian knew that this was the one from the imperial capital.
Pan Yinian did not delay and directly invited Uncle Pei into the negotiation room.
After Pan Yinian asked Su Ying to make a cup of tea for Master Pei, he sat down next to him and said with a smile, "Master, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. If I can't answer them, I'll ask our boss."
Who wants to.
Uncle Pei gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Little guy, stop acting with me."
"I'm just old, not stupid."
"I recognize your voice. You were the one who made the final decision when we called last night."
"Also, I've been watching outside all morning today. Every single one of these people listens to you. There's no other boss than you."
"If I'm not mistaken, that girl named Su Ying just now is your girlfriend, right?"
"Also, that girl named Qin Yuyan is also interested in you."
"Tsk tsk..."
Pan Yinian, “…”
Oh shit, what the hell is this!
He is already in his seventies and about to be buried, why is he still so weird?
Before Pan Yinian could speak, Master Pei glared at him smugly and said, "Little guy, no matter what I say, I'm still your client. It's wrong for you to scold me in secret, right?"
Pan Yinian, “…”
"besides……"
Grandpa Pei grinned and pointed at the introductions on the wall. His old eyes suddenly became piercing. "I came all the way from the imperial capital to see more than these empty things."
At this point, Mr. Pei held up three fingers. "Three questions. If your answers satisfy me, I'll sign the contract on the spot and help you break the impasse. Otherwise, I'll turn around and leave."
Pan Yinian picked up the teacup and made a gesture for him to speak.
"First, how can you guarantee that the price of a machine with the same configuration will be lower than what we got?"
"Secondly, how can you guarantee that we can make money other than just the internet fee?"
"Third, how can you guarantee that people will prioritize your franchise chain over other internet cafes?"
"I want to hear the truth about these things, not those empty words."
Mr. Pei asked these questions to every receptionist, but none of the answers satisfied him.
Others also asked, but few of them were as eager to get to the bottom of the matter as Mr. Pei.
No one would tell the truth.
Because these involve some company secrets.
Once people find out, they can immediately start a new business or even replace the original one.
After all, people of this era may not be as knowledgeable as people of later generations, but they are not stupid.
But Pan Yinian is different.
Because these do not involve his real trump card.
Therefore, Pan Yinian planned to reveal some of his cards, because he recognized the gunshot wound on Mr. Pei's shoulder, and more importantly, Mr. Pei's face was exactly the same as that of an old man who had a brief moment in the past but was unearthed before his rebirth and moved countless netizens.
That was a person in later generations who had moved countless Chinese people but failed to move some judges.
That is, there was an old man who, in later generations, supported and funded many orphans with his own efforts, and finally died in a foreign land, but was buried with countless people in mourning.
Pan Yinian took a sip of water and also extended three fingers.
"The first question, as you should have guessed, is centralized procurement, which I call group buying. However, the architecture technology developed by our company can not only maximize computer cost savings, but also ensure computer performance. I can't go into details, after all, it involves our company's patents."
"Second question, this is far superior to the current internet cafe management system. It allows customers to shop and order food in-store with just a few taps. Do you think this is a new profit point?"
"My third question is about this unique decor and layout. Don't even mention how few internet cafes there are these days. Even if this place became a street of internet cafes, my cafe would still be the most popular one on the street. So, if the prices were similar, which one would you go to?"
Pan Yinian's final question made Mr. Pei slightly stunned.
Mr. Pei was surprised: "You even applied for copyright and patents for the renovation?"
"Master, it has to be you!"
Pan Yinian complimented Mr. Pei. "To be honest, it's not just this style of decoration. I've also applied for copyrights and patents for the traditional culture passed down by our ancestors, including the twelve zodiac animals, the five divine beasts, ancient totems, the nine sons of the dragon, and even mythical characters like Sun Wukong."
"Tell me, if my internet cafe reaches a certain scale and truly forms a brand, or even becomes a label, who will be able to compete with us for customers?"
Pan Yinian did not hide anything about this.
Even, I am looking forward to the news getting out.
Firstly, it can eliminate hidden dangers and scare away the timid ones.
Secondly, by fighting with the courageous ones, you can not only get compensation, but also further enhance the brand effect, killing two birds with one stone.
"You kid, you're amazing!"
Uncle Pei gave Pan Yinian a thumbs-up and said, "Take the contract and sign it now. I will help you break the impasse."
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside.
"Manager Qin, I'll be the first to sign. We agreed on the terms, so you can't go back on your word!"
"Bullshit, I'm the first one. I came here first."
"So what if you came first? I can open an internet cafe with 50 yuan, can you..."
