rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 223 Brother Dong in 1998

In the following days, Chen Li became a little busy!

Not only does he have to attend classes every day, he also has to take care of the decoration issues in two locations.

The fried chicken branch is easier to tell, because the original store has been renovated, and Chen Li only needs to find someone to clean it up.

Then there are some wiring issues. Basically, you can go to the job market and find a plumber to do it in one day.

All that remains is kitchenware installation and staff training!

At present, Huang Biao still pays close attention to employee training.

Whether it's the previous Han Li or the newly recruited Xie Xiaoling, they are basically faster.

Of course, this is mainly related to the fact that most girls these days have certain cooking skills.

In addition, fried chicken is not difficult. As long as there are standard operations, everything will become quite simple.

There are no big problems at the branch, and things are going smoothly at the chicken farm.

Just like the evaluation given by the system, this engineering team, which can only be regarded as a guerrilla, is still quite professional in its work.

In addition, the money given by Chen Li was also in place, so the construction period here is progressing quite smoothly.

As for Chen Li's studies, it is even simpler.

The German major is not like English. German is a zero-based teaching, which is really relatively simple for Chen Li, who can now communicate in German.

Generally speaking, Chen Li's career and academic development are relatively smooth at present.

The only one with stagnant development is probably the hao123 he asked Mr. Xue to create before!

Chen Li didn't know how hao123 developed in his previous life.

Anyway, when he planned to promote hao123, he did encounter some problems.

First of all, there are not many Internet cafes nowadays!

Even in a big city like Yanjing, Internet cafes are actually relatively limited. Although Internet cafes are very profitable, the consumption is too high.

And even if you go to an Internet cafe, the network administrator will not let you set this thing as the browser homepage of the Internet cafe.

Chen Li quietly went to an Internet cafe to set it up, but it was of no use. Almost all Internet cafes had a restore system installed, and the settings would be in vain as soon as they were restarted.

There is no way~Internet cafes are also very helpless. After all, Internet viruses are rampant these days. If we don't install some safety facilities, then Internet cafes will not open.

Later, Chen Li tried to communicate with the network administrator. As a result, his operations were as fierce as a tiger, and the network administrator replied that he could not make the decision.

It's not like Chen Li hasn't communicated with the owner of the Internet cafe, but it's no use!

Except for a very few people who know a little bit about the Internet and choose to accept it, most Internet cafe owners don't pay attention to it at all.

The reason for this is very simple! Almost all the people who really know how to surf the Internet these days have some money and some knowledge about the Internet.

After all, the Internet fee costs more than ten yuan per hour, and ordinary people will not use this as a form of entertainment.

As for those who come to Internet cafes to play games, there are more people, but these people don't go online at all.

In short, let’s put it bluntly! Before the Internet evolved into entertainment, it was actually very difficult for Chen Li’s hao123 to be promoted in Internet cafes.

However, this problem is not unsolvable. At this moment, Chen Li came to the famous Computer City in Yanjing to solve this problem.

Zhongguancun Computer City!

"Fuck~what do you want to do?"

While Chen Li was still walking on the road, a man in a trench coat suddenly appeared in front of him. Without saying anything, he opened his trench coat to him.

"Nima~Hei Laozi jumped."

Chen Li was so frightened that he even spoke the Sichuan dialect.

"Brother, do you want to compete?"

The man in the trench coat was also confused by Chen Li, but he still came over.

"No, no, no~!"

Chen Li waved his hand and continued to walk forward with a depressed look on his face. He couldn't help but continue to curse.

"Damn you, just sell the CDs, you're acting like a pervert."

Chen Li entered the computer city and started wandering around.

In fact, it can't be regarded as wandering around, but he can't find the counter he wants to go to.

Chen Li took out his cell phone and planned to call the number Xue Zhihui gave him again.

The call had already been dialed, but Chen Li was stunned.

"Brother, let's find out."

At this moment, in front of Chen Li, stood a young man in his twenties. This guy was holding a stack of leaflets in his hand and was handing a leaflet to Chen Li.

"Hey~!"

The voice of Xue Zhihui's friend came from the receiver of the mobile phone, but Chen Li had no time to pay attention to him at this moment.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li took the flyer handed over by the young man, and then looked at the young man in front of him again.

"Like~ no~ this should be it, right?"

Chen Li murmured in his mind and picked up the flyer in his hand.

The flyer is very simple, it just promotes recorders and optical discs, and then I look at the counter it says on the flyer.

Yes, it is indeed Jingbei Multimedia.

Okay~ The person who is handing out leaflets to Chen Li in front of him at this moment is Liu Dong, who will become famous in the future and does not recognize the beauty of his wife!

It was only then that Chen Li remembered that Liu Dong seemed to be selling CDs and recorders in Zhongguancun, and even doing wedding photography, wedding recording and other businesses.

And not only that, because of Liu Dong in front of him, Chen Li even thought of some other people.

For example, Jack Ma, who should still be working in the Ministry of Commerce, and Xiao Ma, who just started a business this year.

The reason why I can think of these people is because Chen Li read an article in his previous life.

What was described in that article was the changes and developments made by future business tycoons from 1998 to 1999.

In the past two years, many business tycoons in the future can only barely be regarded as minions in their respective industries.

Of course, it all depends on who you are comparing with.

You know, these future business tycoons, even in the 1990s, still belonged to the social elite.

Take Jack Ma, who has been criticized for a long time. In the early days of his business, he was considered to be engaging in pyramid schemes.

But what about actually?

This guy has been cheating since he was admitted to college.

Not only did he serve as the president of the school’s student union, he even served as the president of the Lin’an City Student Federation for two consecutive terms!

After graduating from college, this guy first taught at a university and then started a translation agency.

Although the translation agency did not make Jackma rich, it opened Jackma's horizons.

The experience of going abroad made Jack Ma start to switch to the Internet, and this time he created a Chinese Yellow Pages.

Then, Jackma received an invitation from the Ministry of Commerce, and then Jackma went to Yanjing to work at the International E-Commerce Center under the Ministry of Commerce!

After that, Ali Baba was founded by the famous Eighteen Arhats!

If nothing else, just look at these resumes. Which one of them can be accomplished by ordinary people?

This is not only an issue of personal ability but also of personal charm! Otherwise, why would the Eighteen Arhats be willing to give up their jobs in the Ministry of Commerce and follow Jack Ma back to Lin'an to start a business?

Even Cai Congxin later, who was an executive of an investment company at the time!

As a result, I gave up my job with an annual salary of one million yuan and went to Lin'an to start a business with a monthly salary of 500 yuan.

Why? Isn’t it because of personal charm?

The same person with strong personal charm is Liu Dong who is in front of Chen Li at this moment.

Unlike Jack Ma's smooth sailing after entering university, Liu Dong's entrepreneurial life has been full of twists and turns.

This guy first became a famous figure in college by virtue of his own personal ability, but then his investment was in vain.

In this era where the catering industry is still a hugely profitable industry, Liu Dong actually closed down an originally prosperous restaurant.

Fortunately, this restaurant was opened and closed, otherwise there might be one less Jingbei Mall in future generations.

Of course ~ without Jingbei Mall, there must be other Internet malls emerging. But that must have nothing to do with Liu Dong!

Liu Dong in the future will be a big boss in the domestic Internet industry, but the Liu Dong in front of him is a small boss handing out leaflets.

What made Chen Li depressed was that after Liu Dong handed him the flyer, he turned around and left.

Liu Dong wanted to distribute leaflets to other people, but in fact the effect was not good.

Could you at least introduce it to the people who got the flyers?

"Hey~ buddy!"

Chen Li stretched out Erkang's hand, and then Liu Dong turned his head and looked over.

Chen Li watched helplessly as Liu Dong's face changed from doubt to "smile", but this smile looked fake no matter how hard it looked!

Looking at the boy with a fake smile in front of him, and thinking about the somewhat "domineering" Mr. Liu later, Chen Li felt a little dazzled.

The same person, different pictures collided in Chen Li's eyes, and the result was

"Where is your store?"

And as Chen Li opened his mouth, Liu Dong jumped over directly, the speed was really scary.

"Brother, please come this way and I will lead you over."

To be honest, Chen Li had never seen Liu Dong like this in his previous life.

After all, when Chen Li knew that there was a person like Liu Dong, this guy was already a big boss in the domestic e-commerce industry.

Even later on the Internet, Chen Li saw a video of this young man.

However, the preconceived notion and what Chen Li saw vividly at this moment were completely different things.

At this moment, Liu Dong seemed a little attentive. However, this was not Liu Dong trying to please Chen Li, but a store owner trying to please his customers.

This is a normal scene, but when it comes to Chen Li, it always feels a bit awkward.

In contrast, he would rather see the somewhat domineering Liu Dong!

Two minutes later, Chen Li followed Liu Dong and arrived at Jingbei Multimedia in 1998.

Chen Li’s first impression of this store was that it was small! The second impression was that it was still small!

How small is it? It is estimated to be no more than ten square meters!

Think about it! Chen Li’s fried chicken restaurant is more than thirty square meters! Even his new branch is more than fifty square meters!

Of course, it doesn't matter if the store is small, as long as the items sold are valuable.

But in fact, what Jingbei Multimedia sells at the moment is not anything valuable.

Optical discs are not valuable! But the profit is ok! Burners are still valuable, but the sales volume is average!

So Jingbei Multimedia needs to start business!

At the moment, Jingbei Multimedia is not as diversified as what Chen Li later saw in audio and video materials~!

At least in 1998, Jingbei Multimedia did not have wedding photography!

"Brother, what do you need? You can tell me and I will introduce it to you."

At this moment, Liu Dong really treated Chen Li as a customer, so he seemed particularly polite.

Chen Li thought for a while and said.

"Do you have a game disc?"

Brother Dong was a little depressed after just one sentence. Chen Li was so serious and serious before that he thought Chen Li was some big customer or something.

However, Liu Dong still has some talent in business. The smile on his face did not change, and he greeted a young girl at the counter and took out a stack of game discs.

"They are all genuine, and they cost ten yuan each. You can choose whatever you want!"

Liu Dong's introduction made Chen Li raise his eyebrows. He didn't believe it.

In his previous life, Chen Li heard Liu Dong say on the Internet that his Jingbei Multimedia did not sell fakes.

But fakes and genuine ones! Sometimes they are actually two different things! Especially when it comes to CDs!

Fake goods mean that the goods you buy are incorrect or even unusable. That stuff is called fake.

Genuine refers to a disc officially released by the game manufacturer.

If nothing else, just for the price of ten yuan, this thing cannot be genuine. At most, it can only be said that there are no fakes!

These days, many things cannot be downloaded from the Internet. Even if they can be downloaded from the Internet, just because of the network speed, if you download one thing, you will have to spend a lot of money just on the phone bill.

So these days, CDs are still very popular.

"Is there a Half-Life?"

Chen Li wasn't originally here to buy CDs, he just wanted to come here after seeing Liu Dong.

"Half life? Let me ask!"

Liu Dong was stunned for a moment, then went to the girl at the counter and asked. Finally, it was confirmed. No!

Chen Li actually had a bad memory. He only remembered that this game was released in 1998, but he couldn't remember exactly when it was released.

Actually, Half-Life won’t be released until November!

Finally, Chen Li chose a plate of Red Alert! After spending ten yuan, Chen Li left Jingbei Multimedia!

When passing the corner, Chen Li turned back and glanced at Liu Dong over there!

Seeing that Brother Dong was about to start looking for customers again, Chen Li smiled and took out his mobile phone.

"Hey~! Brother Zhang, where is your store? I can't find it!"

"Oh~ Okay! Then I'll wait for you at the door!"
