"How much?"

"Fifteen yuan, can't you afford it?"

In a room with poor lighting, a girl said to Chen Li impatiently.

"Come on~!"

Chen Li thought MMP in his heart and took out fifty yuan with a smile on his face.

He never imagined that accessing the Internet would be so expensive in 1998.

Fifteen yuan an hour, this price is close to that of Internet cafes twenty years later.

But the same fifteen dollars has different meanings in the two eras.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Li looked at the big butt in front of him. He had been exposed to this kind of computer in his previous life, but the monitor was a little larger than the one in front of him.

Basically, by 2002-03, most Internet cafes in China gradually eliminated this kind of big butt and replaced it with LCD monitors.

At this moment, Chen Li actually felt a little regretful, because he found that his idea of ​​opening a fried chicken restaurant was actually wrong.

He should open an Internet cafe!

Fifteen yuan an hour, even if you don’t play games online, it costs six yuan an hour. Is this bitch trying to steal money?

Chen Li looked at the small Internet cafe in front of him with only a dozen computers, and after a rough calculation, he found that the net profit for one day was terrifyingly high.

Okay~ Chen Li admits that he is envious. But envy is useless, because the biggest reason why he does not open an Internet cafe is that he has no money.

Internet cafe licenses are easy to obtain and not expensive these days, but computers are extremely expensive.

Even if it is an assembled machine, the cheapest one these days would cost several thousand dollars to buy.

In addition, Chen Li didn't know much about computers. In his previous life, he had to find someone to help him fix the computer. Every time it broke, he had to find someone to fix it.

Sometimes it's just a minor problem with a memory stick or a loose graphics card, but in the end Chen Li still has to pay the bill.

Okay~! In fact, the biggest reason is that Chen Li doesn’t know that Internet access is so expensive these days.

When he started going to Internet cafes in his previous life, he had already entered the new century, and the cost of surfing the Internet at that time had dropped to two yuan an hour.

And if you become a member, the price can even be as low as one yuan per hour.

If he knew how profitable it was to open an Internet cafe these days, he would have dared to open one even if it only had a few machines.

Anyway, as long as Internet cafes are opened, there will be more and more machines in the Internet cafes within a few months.

"Fuck~! You have no experience!"

In fact, Chen Li knew that the Internet cafe business was very profitable, because he, as someone who had experienced Internet cafes in his previous life, must have known how popular it was.

But first of all, he didn't have that much capital, and secondly, he didn't know that Internet cafes charge so high nowadays, so Chen Li didn't think about it at all.

He also thought about opening an Internet cafe around 2000 after the business of the fried chicken restaurant picked up and he made some money!

This time, Chen Li felt that he was at a loss.

Well~ Facts have proved that even if Chen Li is a reborn person, it does not mean that he can make the best choice.

When people make choices, most people subconsciously choose the one they are more familiar with.

Just like the barbecue restaurant Chen Li opened last year and the fried chicken restaurant he opened this year. Why did he do this? Of course because he didn't have the capital to open a nightclub.

These days, not only does he have no money to open a nightclub, he also doesn't have the connections and resources to open a nightclub.

If Chen Li's family was a wealthy family, he would have to open a barbecue restaurant or a fried chicken restaurant, so he would definitely open a nightclub that he is most familiar with.

I dare not say anything else. Just the nightclub marketing methods in Chen Li’s head, the business is definitely blocked!

But it is a pity that Li Chen's family has no money and no connections, so he can only start from a young age.

From a barbecue stall to a fried chicken restaurant, Chen Li has actually upgraded.

"Hey~! Forget it, write down the Internet cafe and do it when you have a chance later!"

Chen Li shook his head and put away all the things in his mind.

But then Chen Li was dumbfounded again, because he discovered a problem. In September 1998, QQ had not appeared yet?

Okay~! This is an error in Chen Li's memory.

When he came into contact with computers and the Internet in his previous life, both Internet cafes and QQ had already become popular.

As for the development of QQ, Chen Li didn't know that much.

He only remembered that this thing was first called QICQ, but later it was renamed QQ.

But he really didn't know when this thing came out.

He felt that QQ started to become popular around the two years from 1998 to 1999. He really didn't know when exactly it was.

Hey~! Chen Li suddenly had an idea at this moment. It is said that QQ in his previous life was almost sold to others for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chen Li didn't know exactly when.

But since QQ hasn’t appeared yet, it means it will take some time.

If Chen Li has enough funds at that time and directly gives QQ, will there be no Penguin in the future?

"Forget it~!"

Chen Li shook his head again. The Internet was not his strong point. If he had the opportunity to invest in individual stocks, it would definitely be great.

But if he was left to fiddle with it on his own, he would definitely not be the one to make it.

It's not like you can directly manage a company after being reborn. After all, in his previous life, Chen Li was not a technology tycoon or business owner, he was just an ordinary nightclub marketing director.

So, don’t think about those things that are available but not available. If there is an advantage, take advantage of it. If there is no advantage, then do your best to do what you are doing.

Chen Li knew that QQ's development was relatively difficult in the early stage, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as the rumors on the Internet in his previous life.

QQ started with five people and a founding capital of 500,000 yuan, but in this era, how many people can afford so much money?

Chen Li, a reborn person, first offered a buy-one-get-one-free offer while making barbecue, and then gave several marketing plans to Deng Weimin at "cabbage prices."

But how much money did Chen Li get in the end? Even including the small shop, the total was only around 100,000 yuan.

This was because Deng Weimin was extremely optimistic about Chen Li and wanted to kidnap Chen Li aboard the ship.

In his previous life, Brother Ma said that in the early days of QQ's development, they once borrowed money from everywhere to pay for the server.

That's it. How many ordinary people want to borrow it? You must know that as the number of QQ users increased at that time, the cost was not a small sum of money.

A good server costs at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, so you can imagine how much pressure the Penguin Five were under at that time.

But people still persevere, and how many ordinary people can do this?

In addition, when QQ encountered difficulties later, Xiao Ma and others wanted to sell QQ, but if you look at the people he found, they were all big shots in the domestic Internet industry these days.

And if you are an ordinary person, you may not even be able to meet those big bosses face to face.

And the most critical point is that the Five Tigers of Penguin can develop Penguin to the scale of later generations, which does not mean that Chen Li can do it.

Even if he took over QQ and even copied the development trajectory of Penguin in his previous life, people are different.

There are some things that Brother Ma can do, but Chen Li may not be able to do.

Therefore, if Chen Li wants to get some money from QQ and Penguin, the best way is to take advantage of the sluggish development of QQ in the early 2000s to see if he can get a chance to get some money and buy some shares.

.

Because once the millennium reaches the millennium, as long as Penguin succeeds in financing, it will be impossible for Chen Li to do anything.

Therefore, Chen Li needs to find the right opportunity at the right time in order to succeed!

So, this is Chen Li’s idea. As for whether it can come true, let’s leave it to fate!

After all, Ma Xiaomao’s family background is there! No matter how difficult it is for QQ, it is the same as a celebrity saying that he has no money in his card.

When the time comes, whether Brother Xiao Ma and the others will accept Chen Li’s investment may be another matter!

The same principle applies to Ah Li Ma. His family background is not bad, and the house where he started his business was all his own.

You know, Ah Li Ma bought that house for 450,000 yuan.

Anyone who can directly spend so much money to buy a house and start a business these days will definitely not be easily picked off by Chen Li.

Of course, it's hard to say, because with Ah Li's character, he would probably trick Chen Li into joining Ah Li.

After all, that buddy was once regarded as a big swindler and a big liar!

Therefore, today's Chen Li is too lazy to focus on people like Xiao Ma Ge and Ah Li Ma.

Again, if there is an advantage to be taken advantage of, then Chen Li will take advantage of it, but he cannot put the cart before the horse.

It is the last word to start from an industry that you are more familiar with and develop steadily.

So ~ after discovering that QQ had not yet been launched, Chen Li's "first time" online was only for twenty minutes.

During this period, Chen Li tried to see if he could activate the secondary profession of programmer or hacker, but it failed.

Later, Chen Li also visited the most popular chat rooms at present, and in the seemingly inconspicuous web chat room, there might actually be someone who will be a big boss in the future.

But this means nothing to Chen Li, because he believes that sooner or later he will be a big boss in the future.

Okay~! When thinking of this, Chen Li felt somewhat guilty.
