Back to 84: Getting rich from collecting rubbish

Chapter 1836 Make it bigger

After talking about business, Shen Lin invited Mr. Yin and Mr. Yabo to the dining room.

Because Shen Lin did not reject Mr. Yabo and Mr. Yin's proposal, this meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.

However, neither Shen Lin nor Mr. Yin likes drinking, so the three of them drank one bottle of wine during this meal.

After sending Mr. Yabo and others away, Shen Lin returned to the bedroom. He wanted to take a rest, but all the suggestions from Mr. Yabo and Mr. Yin were in his mind.

Let MiKe Electrical Appliance Mall open a computer counter, and then finally settle the rent based on the quantity of goods sold.

This kind of situation almost guarantees that the two of them will only make a profit in this regard.

In this regard, MiKe Electrical Appliances Mall won the opportunity to develop a computer city, but in the first few years, it basically lost money.

If Shen Lin doesn't want to get involved in the computer industry, then this proposal is of little use to him.

As for the opportunity of computer city, he can wait until there is a market and directly build the computer city.

However, the system developed by Ma Yuancheng and his colleagues is close to success. If this computer sales counter is opened, they can also sell their own products.

In this way, only a small amount of money is consumed, but some opportunities are already in hand.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Shen Lin had already made a decision in his heart.

He directly called Lan Weidong, who had not yet left Beijing, and asked him to come to his home.

Lan Weidong was always extremely firm in executing Shen Lin's orders.

In just ten minutes, Lan Weidong arrived at Shen Lin's reception room.

Looking at a second-hand radio that was [-]% new in the reception room, Lan Weidong smiled and said: "Dr. Shen, with this radio, the quality of your place has been greatly improved!"

"Now, this 500 million second-hand radio is almost known to everyone on the street!"

Shen Lin glanced at the radio and said, "If Mr. Lan likes it, I'll let you take it home and listen to it for a few days."

"Forget it. If you break it, I will almost lose everything." Lan Weidong sat down opposite Shen Lin and said with a smile.

Because the two of them are familiar with each other, they talk more casually.

Shen Lin poured Lan Weidong a cup of tea and said, "I came to you today mainly to talk about one thing."

At that moment, Shen Lin told Lan Weidong about Mr. Yin's proposal.

After Lan Weidong listened carefully, he said in a deep voice: "Dr. Shen, I still give my opinion on this kind of cooperation."

"Although computers in the future will be very important, according to my estimation, within a few years, it will be difficult for these computers to enter the home and become a necessity for every family."

"If we set up a dedicated counter in every MiKe electrical store, it won't cause us much loss, but over time, the loss will be significant."

Listening to Lan Weidong's analysis, Shen Lin nodded and said: "Old Lan, your analysis is correct. The computer business has been a bit difficult to make profits in recent years."

"But the more this happens, the less we can give up."

Having said this, Shen Lin pointed to the computer in front of him and said, "Believe it or not, in a short time, this computer will be like a TV, and every family will need one."

One computer for each family!

Lan Weidong looked at the computer on Shen Lin's desk, shook his head and said, "Dr. Shen, this computer is not only troublesome to use, but also quite expensive."

"I think some departments with special needs will use this kind of computer in the future. As for others, I'm afraid they won't use it."

"It's in every home, so the odds are against it."

Shen Lin smiled and said: "Today's computers still have many flaws, but computer technology is changing with each passing day."

"We must seize this opportunity." "If we cannot seize it, we will not have such an opportunity in the future."

Having said this, he solemnly said: "Lao Lan, set up a computer counter in a conspicuous location in every MiKe electrical store."

"The size of this computer counter must not be less than [-] square meters, and there must be dedicated personnel in charge of this counter."

Two hundred square meters.

Listening to this number, Lan Weidong's face twitched.

When he suggested that Shen Lin refuse, the counter in his mind was only thirty or forty square meters.

In his opinion, such a large counter is basically enough for a computer.

But he didn't expect that what Shen Lin proposed would be so big.

This is literally ten times bigger.

And this is not just one MiKe Electrical Appliances Store, but all MiKe Electrical Appliances Malls.

If we add it all up, several thousand square meters of space will be left vacant.

Looking at Shen Lin with a serious expression, Lan Weidong knew that at this time, his best choice was to follow Shen Lin's decision.

But [-] square meters, in Lan Weidong's opinion, is really a huge loss.

"Director Shen, I think we'd better make it smaller. Two hundred square meters is a bit too big. Let me look at it. Let's... let it be one hundred square meters."

Originally, Lan Weidong wanted to say eighty square meters, but looking at Shen Lin's heavy expression, he changed the bargaining price to one hundred square meters.

Shen Lin looked at Lan Weidong who was laughing and joking, waved his hand and said: "Old Lan, I have already decided on this matter."

"Just do as I ask."

"If anyone can't figure it out, let him come to me."

Shen Lin's words were very blunt, and Lan Weidong swallowed his opinion after hearing this.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Director Shen, I will make arrangements right away, but...but I think we will definitely lose money in this regard."

"I see, go ahead."

Shen Lin still didn't know what Lan Weidong had in mind. He said in a deep voice: "Just do your thing, I know it well."

"In this case, you tell Qiangzi that I told you to allow your mall to list this item separately when reimbursing."

At this time, Lan Weidong already knew that there was no chance, so he didn't hesitate anymore. After agreeing, he left quickly.

Shen Lin looked at Lan Weidong leaving and shook his head gently.

If he hadn't had the memory of his previous life, he wouldn't have believed that computers, which are only available in a few places now, would eventually become an indispensable item for every family.

And still...

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Shen Lin began to think about how to sign an agreement with Mr. Yabo and Mr. Yin.

According to Shen Lin's idea, this agreement should not only allow him to suffer a loss, but also integrate the new operating system he developed into this agreement.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Yuqing's number.

Zhang Yuqing's law firm continues to grow with the support of Shen Lin. In order to support the work of MiKe Electronics, Zhang Yuqing even opened a branch in Beijing some time ago.

Listening to Shen Lin's intention, Zhang Yuqing assured Shen Lin in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will have someone deliver the contract to you in one day, and I will definitely not delay your business."
