Chapter 965: What to do if you have no money? Ask the eldest lady for investment.
Qin Hao was busy all day long installing management software for Feiyu Internet Cafe. He also had to teach the store manager and network administrator how to use it. Fortunately, the software functions he designed were relatively simple and the learning cost was not high. After being taught several times, everyone could basically use it.
Wang Yuesheng is very satisfied with the management software. Of course, the most important thing is that it helps him save money every month.
By the time Qin Hao had finished installing all 18 Internet cafes, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Wang Yuesheng insisted on treating Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi to a meal, and by the time they returned home after dinner, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
On the way back, Xiao Qianxi saw that Qin Hao looked tired, and asked with some concern: "Actually, I can go back to the dormitory by myself, you should go back and rest early."
"Let's go. It's only a short distance away. The security situation nowadays is not as good as you think. If something happens, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
There was a gleam of light in Xiao Qianxi's eyes and a hint of joy flashed between his brows.
Before they knew it, they had arrived in front of the girls' dormitory building.
"Then I'll go up first, you go back and rest."
"Ah."
Seeing that Qin Hao did not leave, Xiao Qianxi had to turn around and go back into the dormitory building, hiding in a corner, watching Qin Hao leave, staring at his back, in a daze for a long time.
"Girl, the door is about to close, are you going in?"
The dormitory manager shouted impatiently.
Xiao Qianxi finally came to his senses and ran upstairs.
As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted by two pairs of big eyes that were full of brilliance and burning with gossip.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin each held Xiao Qianxi's arm.
"How do you feel about going out with Qin Hao for a day today?"
"What did you do this day? Did anything romantic happen?"
Wang Ying was already somewhat numb to this scene, and turned her face away with an expression as if she didn't recognize these two guys.
Xiao Qianxi knew that if she didn't tell them, the two would probably pester her all night long, so she had no choice but to briefly tell them what happened that day.
"What? That's it. You did nothing all day but install software for others?"
Xu Lin smacked his lips and said, "The key is that this software is free. What are you trying to achieve by spending all day on it?"
Xiao Qianxi didn’t know much about the Internet, so he could only use Qin Hao’s original words: “Free things are the most expensive.”
"What do you mean?" Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were both confused.
Xiao Qianxi spread his hands: "I'm not too sure, this is what Qin Hao said."
Wang Ying's heart moved. She could vaguely sense Qin Hao's ambition from Xiao Qianxi's description.
"Miss, did you notice something?" Xu Lin usually looks careless, but he is actually very thoughtful and good at observing people's words and expressions.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi's eyes fell on Wang Ying.
Wang Ying shook her head: "I can only feel that Qin Hao should be playing a big game, but I can't guess how he is going to use this free Internet cafe management software to realize its value."
"This is really strange. There is something you, Miss, don't know." Xu Lin teased.
Wang Ying rolled her eyes at her. "How to monetize virtual traffic has always been a difficult problem for the Internet industry. Industry leaders like Amazon and Yahoo are still in a loss-making state. I don't know what's so strange about that."
After saying that, Wang Ying spoke again in an inexplicable tone.
"If Qin Hao can really make money using this Internet cafe software, even if it's just a few hundred yuan, it would be a great achievement."
Xiao Qianxi's brows were filled with joy when she heard that. She knew Wang Ying to some extent. The eldest lady was knowledgeable and usually calm about everything. To hear such words from the eldest lady was undoubtedly a high evaluation of Qin Hao.
Perhaps even Xiao Qianxi herself didn't realize it, but she was happier to hear others praising Qin Hao than to hear them praising herself.
In the following month, Qin Hao took Xiao Qianxi to visit all the Internet cafes in Beijing, regardless of size, and achieved a coverage rate of over 90%.
At the beginning, some Internet cafes scoffed at this management system and refused to install it even if it was free. Xiao Qianxi would be very frustrated when encountering such situations.
"Our management software is free to use. If you can't even sell a product like this, what will you do if you encounter a product that requires customers to pay in the future?"
"Don't be discouraged or stubborn when you encounter such a tough nut to crack. First try to cover all the Internet cafes around him. The owners of these Internet cafes often communicate with each other privately. Sometimes one of their words is more useful than ten thousand of ours."
"Nothing is smooth sailing when doing business. If it doesn't work this time, go again in a few days. Don't sentence your boss to death just because he is rejected once. Everyone's mood is different every day. Maybe when you go there that day, your boss encounters something unpleasant."
"The bosses who can open Internet cafes these days are not fools, but smart. They have their own behavioral logic. When facing this kind of customers, it is not what you say, but what you do. If you never come again after being rejected once, the boss will think you are not a person who can accomplish anything. On the contrary, you can go a few more times and make yourself familiar with the boss. Maybe one day the boss will see that you are down-to-earth and hardworking and agree to your request."
Following the method Qin Hao said, Xiao Qianxi kept encouraging himself and actually tackled some "hard bones".
People's self-confidence is accumulated slowly through repeated success.
Except for a very few people who are born with a "shameless" aura and can become more courageous as they face more setbacks, most people's self-confidence is eroded by repeated setbacks.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin hadn't noticed anything yet, but Wang Ying keenly felt that Xiao Qianxi had changed greatly since the beginning of the school year. He was more confident and mature than before.
This made Wang Ying curious about what Qin Hao had said to Xiao Qianxi in this month.
Of course, it's not all good news. Such rapid expansion has resulted in rising broadband and server costs. 3% of the 80 yuan Qin Hao earned from selling SIM cards and MPs was spent on this.
But this is still far from Qin Hao's goal. According to Qin Hao's plan, he has to cover at least 60% of Internet cafes in North China before he is qualified to discuss how to monetize this traffic.
"If you're really short of money, I have some here."
Before Xiao Qianxi could finish her words, Qin Hao shook his head and said, "It's not just the servers. We also need salesmen to promote it. Otherwise, even if the two of us run around, we won't be able to visit many companies. Time is the most precious thing for us right now."
"What should I do?"
Xiao Qianxi looked a little depressed. Suddenly she realized that Qin Hao was staring at her. She shyly avoided Qin Hao's gaze.
"Didn't you say that Wang Ying from your dormitory is a rich woman?"
"You don't mean to."
"What are you thinking? I mean to ask her for investment."
"invest?"
That night, Xiao Qianxi invited Xie Qiao and the others to dinner in the name of celebrating their salary distribution. Wang Ying originally didn't plan to go, but couldn't resist Xu Lin's constant nagging and had to agree.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I found Qin Hao was there too.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at each other and said with a wicked smile, "Qianxi, what do you mean by this? You said you would treat us to a meal, why are you bringing your family members?"
The word "family member" made Xiao Qianxi blush.
However, Wang Ying realized that things were not that simple.
Sure enough, just after ordering the dishes, Wang Ying just picked up the chopsticks to taste something, and Qin Hao put down his chopsticks and his true intentions were revealed.
"invest?"
Wang Ying's mouth twitched: "Is it too late for me to leave now?"
"You have to be grateful for the help you receive. You have to provide some support." Qin Hao said shamelessly.
"How many?"
"Five hundred thousand is not too little, and five million is not too much."
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were both stunned: "How much?"
Xiao Qianxi was also a little shocked. She originally thought that Qin Hao was only asking Wang Ying to borrow 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, but she didn't expect the funding gap to be so large.
Wang Ying said unhappily, "Is it too late for me to spit it out now?"
"That would be very detrimental to your image as a young lady. A million or eight hundred thousand shouldn't be a big deal to you, a young lady, right?"
Wang Ying was so angry that she laughed: "How dare you ask that? Have you ever seen a family give so much money to a college student at one time? If I ask my parents, they will think I was scammed."
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin both had expressions of deep agreement.
Qin Hao said slowly, "How about this? I'll borrow whatever you have, and the interest will be calculated at an annual rate of 10%. Of course, if you are willing to invest, I can give you a dividend of 30% of the profit from this project."
Wang Ying put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Whether it's a loan or an investment, you have to show me your profit point. As far as I know, your management software claims to be permanently free. If you suddenly charge a fee, a large number of Internet cafe owners will abandon it, and your efforts for this month will most likely be ruined."
Xiao Qianxi saw it and kept it in mind, but Qin Hao nodded calmly and said, "Yes, charging is undoubtedly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, so I don't plan to make money by charging software management fees."
"As for the profit point, tell me how much money you can take out first. If it's too little, forget it, so as not to disclose my business secrets."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes: "You're even picking up the bridge."
“You are the first investor I have found, but you are definitely not the only one.”
Seeing Qin Hao's calm and composed attitude, Wang Ying's curiosity was completely aroused.
"The New Year's money I've received over the years, added together, is at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. I can also ask my family for some more, so it shouldn't be a problem to get 800,000 yuan together."
Qin Hao thought for a while and said, "800,000 yuan can barely sustain for a while."
After saying that, Qin Hao took out a document and handed it to Wang Ying.
Wang Ying took it suspiciously. Although Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were very curious, they were too embarrassed to go closer because Qin Hao had said it involved commercial secrets. They could only watch the expression on Wang Ying's face gradually change, from disdain at first, to surprise later, and finally to astonishment.
“Did you do this feasibility report alone?”
After reading the document, Wang Ying asked in an incredible tone, and then looked at Xiao Qianxi beside her.
Xiao Qianxi waved his hands repeatedly: "I have never participated in this."
In fact, she didn't even know when Qin Hao produced this document, and what was in the document that could make such a knowledgeable young lady look like this.
"So, are you planning to lend me the money, or is it considered an investment?" Qin Hao asked back.
Wang Ying took a big sip of the drink and then slammed the cup down on the table.
"Of course it's an investment. I'm not an idiot."
“When will the money be available?”
Wang Ying rolled her eyes at Qin Hao in anger: "How can you attract investment like this?"
"Time is money, Miss. We are racing against time every moment now." Qin Hao said seriously.
"Okay, three days at most."
"Then I wish us happy cooperation."
Wang Ying hesitated for a moment, but still gently shook hands with Qin Hao with her fingertips.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were both dumbfounded.
What had they just witnessed?
An investment worth eight hundred thousand dollars was finalized just by a few words and a document with unknown content?
Then look at Wang Ying and Qin Hao's nonchalant expressions.
Others have already negotiated an $800,000 business deal right after college started, while I'm still gloating over the fact that I can have chicken legs as a snack every week.
Is this what they mean, that people cannot share the same sorrows and joys?
But isn’t this gap a bit too big?
Xiao Qianxi was also a little dumbfounded. She had always known that Wang Ying's family was rich, but to what extent they were, she had no idea with her imagination. Unexpectedly, she suddenly had an idea today. The New Year's money was more than 500,000 yuan, and she could ask her family for 300,000 yuan at any time. She felt guilty even if she asked her family for 300 yuan.
Is this the difference between people?
After dinner, I returned to the dormitory.
Wang Ying took out her cell phone, spoke a few words into the receiver in a calm tone, and then hung up.
Xu Lin blinked: "Miss, is the eight hundred thousand already settled?"
"if not?"
"No, you want so much money at once, don't your parents ask you what you want to do?" Xie Qiao really couldn't hold it in any longer.
Wang Ying blinked: "Yes, I asked her. I told her about investment. My mother asked me if it was reliable. I told her when I had ever been cheated by someone, and she agreed."
Xu Lin and Xie Qiao stared at each other for a long time, and finally lamented: "As expected of a young lady, if this happened in our family, our parents would probably call the police."
"It's not as good as you think. This is my first time investing. If I make money, it means I'm good at this and my family will continue to support me. If I lose money, I'll just have to collect pocket money for a while."
It would have been fine if Wang Ying hadn't explained. After she did, Xu Lin and Xie Qiao were even more shocked. After losing so much money, could they still be given another chance? That was a full 800,000 yuan.
Not to mention Xiao Qianxi, who just stared at Wang Ying blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Three days later, Wang Ying transferred the money to Qin Hao's account, and at the same time did not forget to complain.
"Can you register a company? My mother thought I was being scammed when she saw the money was being deposited into my personal account, and she almost refused to give me the money."
Qin Hao said helplessly: "I want to, too. I submitted the registration information a long time ago, but it hasn't been approved in a month."
"What is the name of your registered company?"
"Haoran Technology."
"Okay, I'll ask someone for you."
five minutes later.
"Go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau this afternoon, bring your documents, and ask Section Chief Zhao to help you."
As expected, it is easy to get things done when there are people in the court.
In the afternoon, Qin Hao went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and completed the process in less than an hour. He got the business license. Section Chief Zhao was also very considerate and applied for high-tech enterprise certification for Qin Hao, which can save a lot of taxes every year.
