Chapter 68 What the Internet Can Do

"The computer seller? That's right!"

When Chen Hao heard this, his eyes lit up. This was such a coincidence.

"What? Do you want to buy a computer?"

Zhang Ming immediately became interested. These days, computers are luxury goods and one can rarely be sold in a month, so he naturally didn't have any commission. He could only live with a guaranteed salary. He quickly said, "If you buy a computer, I'll give you a discount, which can be cheaper."

"How much does it cost to buy five units? By the way, do you know how to assemble it?"

Chen Hao asked.

"Five?"

Zhang Ming took a breath, his eyes at Chen Hao changed, and he said in surprise: "Why are you buying so many? Do you want to open an Internet cafe?" He could never find the second answer except for opening an Internet cafe.

"Congratulations on your answer right."

Chen Hao smiled and said, "Can you be cheaper?"

"You want to assemble a computer, right?"

Zhang Ming entered the working state and began to think carefully. He said while thinking: "If you don't want a branded machine, just to surf the Internet, you can save some money..."

"Brother Zhang."

Chen Hao interrupted him and said with a smile: "Besides buying a computer, I have another thing I want to discuss with you."

"ah?"

Zhang Ming was stunned, came to his senses, looked at Chen Hao, and said, "What else is there?"

"Have you considered changing a job?"

Chen Hao asked him first.

“Change jobs?”

Zhang Ming sighed and said in a nagging voice: "What job can I change? I graduated from high school. Now the surrounding factories are laid off everywhere. I have never heard of recruiting people. The best factory in our city is the Chen Laoji Beverage Factory, but the factory does not recruit people at all. I will tell you that I have a younger brother who is one year younger than me. He also graduated from high school. He is still sitting at home..."

“Stop and stop.”

Chen Hao was very angry. This guy actually wanted to work at Chen Laoji Beverage Factory? Chen Hao really didn't expect it, but if you think about it carefully, it's normal. He is in the most "hot" era of economic transformation. Many private enterprises are much more prosperous than state-owned enterprises. However, private enterprises are not like state-owned enterprises. They can enter by following the back door if they have connections.

For example, Chen Laoji Beverage Factory, who is like him and Tao Guoqiang, if you want to enter the factory, Chen Hao and Tao Guoqiang will nod and agree.

So far, Chen Hao has arranged for Dalong and Yin Gang to go in to work.

"Would you do it if you do it by the network administrator?"

Chen Hao asked Zhang Ming directly.

“What is network administrator?”

Zhang Ming was stunned.

"It's just to work in an Internet cafe, help others check information, or the computer is broken, and repair it."

Chen Hao forgot that the word Internet management has not yet been born. Thinking of the fact that he told Zhang Ming just now and asked him to go online for two hours, he added: "If it's okay, if there is a machine, you can sit there and play. Of course, if there are guests, you have to be only the guests first."

"How much is the salary?"

When Zhang Ming heard that he could surf the Internet, he was immediately moved. Although he sold computers, he couldn't surf the Internet there. Moreover, a computer is so expensive now that he couldn't turn on the computer and fiddle with it when he was fine.

"How much does it cost to sell a computer for a month?"

Chen Hao asked him first.

"Three hundred dollars."

Zhang Ming coughed dryly.

No wonder, this guy is so poor that he can't even afford to go online.

Chen Hao felt a little sympathetic to him. The current consumption of Internet cafes is four yuan per hour. For Zhang Ming, who has a salary of three hundred yuan, it is definitely not a low price. The salary of three hundred yuan is enough for him. He only spends two and a half hours a day on the Internet.

"I'll give you six hundred dollars."

As soon as Chen Hao spoke, he doubled his salary, and then said: "But the Internet cafe is in the town below, and you will be reimbursed for the monthly round-trip fare. How about it?"

"No problem, I've done it!"

Zhang Ming nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.

If your salary doubles and you can access the Internet for free, you will be a fool who doesn’t agree with this kind of good thing!

“When will I go to work?”

Zhang Ming said excitedly: "I have to go back to the store and talk to the boss first and quit my job."

"Don't worry, I'll give you three days to quit."

Chen Hao said with a smile: "Let's go buy a computer first. By the way, there are computer desks and chairs, right?"

“There is anything.”

Zhang Ming turned around and returned to the Internet cafe, turned off the machine, and excitedly led Chen Hao to the computer store where he worked.

On the way, Chen Hao learned that Zhang Ming was working for a private computer seller. He could take a day off every week, guaranteed a minimum of 300 yuan, sell a brand computer with a commission of 100 yuan, and sell a assembled computer with a commission of 50 yuan.

"...The brand computers in specialty stores are too expensive. One machine can cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. And those configurations are really too garbage. They are just fools. The only advantage is that they have after-sales service."

Zhang Ming said disdainfully: "The so-called after-sales service is nothing more than asking maintenance personnel to come to the door for two more trips. Only those who don't know anything will buy brand computers. They also think that the quality of brand computers should be guaranteed."

"Are there many people buying computers in Huaqiang City?"

Chen Hao asked curiously.

"Haha, Chen Hao, do you think it's too much?"

Zhang Ming laughed and asked him back: "How many people have computers at home? To be honest, most people don't know what they can do if they buy this computer! If it weren't for the Internet, I wouldn't know that it was called a computer today... We used to call it a computer. Before I came here to work, I always thought that it could only calculate some mathematical formulas and conduct scientific experiments."

Chen Hao suddenly smiled, yes, now that the economy is not yet developed and the price of computers is expensive, most ordinary people still have the impression of it in the past "computer" era. Even if some schools introduced computers, they all regarded it as treasures.

Apart from teaching students to practice typing, the second function cannot be found.

"How much do you know about computers now?"

Chen Hao intentionally wanted to test Zhang Ming's ability. The role of network management can be said to determine whether an Internet cafe can operate normally. A good network management is usually responsible for the safety and operation of machines in the Internet cafe, and also needs to be regularly maintained.

To put it bluntly, ordinary network administrators only know how to collect money and sell instant noodles and drinks, which is equivalent to the role of a cashier.

“Not a lot.”

Hearing Chen Hao's question, Zhang Ming said humbly: "I just went to work in a computer store last year. At first, I was in the store, and most of the time I only read some books about computer hardware knowledge. Later, I accidentally learned that this thing can use a telephone line to connect computers together, thus forming an Internet larger than a local area network. So people on this Internet can share their own things with each other, so they become interested in surfing the Internet, and then they start to contact the Internet..."

He talked endlessly.

Chen Hao listened carefully and according to Zhang Ming's description, this guy is considered a person who likes to come into contact with new things - but this is also a common problem that many young people have, yearning for freshness and yearning for unknowns.

Zhang Ming was originally interested in computers, otherwise he would not have gone to the computer store to work. When he had nothing to do, he basically read all kinds of books on computer hardware principles, and then when he came into contact with the Internet, he would be out of control.

"...I've known someone on the Internet recently, and he knows a lot about the Internet."

Zhang Ming said to Chen Hao in a daze: "We often talk about what should happen to the Internet in the future, or how this thing can change human life. I, a netizen, put forward many novel ideas, many of which you will never imagine!"

"What could I do not expect?"

Chen Hao laughed silently and said casually: "In more than ten years, every Chinese person will have a computer at home. Everyone's life cannot be separated from computers, and they work from home or something like that."

“Huh?”

Zhang Ming was stunned and said in a daze: "No, do you think so too?"

"Isn't this an obvious thing?"

Chen Hao smiled and said disapprovingly: "The Internet has great potential, but many people are currently exploring and trying to see what it can do during the exploration." He thought that more than ten years later, Penguin Software has become an inconspicuous communication tool at this time and can be seen everywhere in daily life.

"Then what do you think the Internet can do in our daily lives? Or, what convenience can it provide us?"

Zhang Ming did not think that Chen Hao could bring up any insightful opinions, at most he was bragging and talking big with himself here. He was a teenage student who was still in school and probably didn’t even know what the Internet could do!

Although Chen Hao said just now that everyone has a computer at home and can work at home in the future, these statements have been raised in some forums. Perhaps Chen Hao also saw such posts, so he pretended to himself.

You should know that his netizen is currently the moderator on the most famous forum in China. He has a very advanced mindset. Every post he posted is very in-depth and has aroused discussions and praise from everyone on the forum.

"Haha, there are so many things that can be done in daily life."

Chen Hao pointed casually and rode a bicycle, passed by passers-by next to them, and said to Zhang Ming: "Take this bicycle as an example. In the future, with the popularity of the Internet, no one or few people will buy this thing specifically. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Zhang Ming frowned and thought for a while, saying, "Can this Internet affect bicycles? I don't believe it."
