Chapter 503: Four hundred and ninety-eight 30-year acquisition contracts!_1

In the seven days, Boss Gu had not yet settled accounts with Old Zhang, indeed, he had forgotten about it.

Upon seeing Old Zhang here, he thought that if all else failed, he might as well provide Old Zhang with a security guard uniform and let him protect this place.

Many of the regular customers at the internet cafe knew who Old Zhang was, the owner of machine number twenty.

Today, after rushing over, Boss Gu inspected the situation inside the internet cafe.

The queue was a bit shorter than before, but there were still many people, suggesting that the demand for the internet cafe was not yet fully met.

At this moment, Boss Gu went behind the counter and did some calculations.

The money Old Zhang could earn in these seven days was quite a sum, nearly ten thousand yuan.

When the money reached Old Zhang’s hands, he was so excited that his hands trembled.

The invested costs were now all recovered, and the two computers would become cash cows.

Right then, the delivery truck carrying the computers arrived at the entrance of the internet cafe.

The knowledgeable-looking older sister stepped down from the truck and approached Boss Gu.

After observing the bustling scene inside the internet cafe, she couldn’t help but say to Boss Gu, "It seems you have succeeded, Boss Gu. There really are a lot of people here." She said to Boss Gu.

This level of activity, she surmised, meant that Gu Cheng had surely recouped the investment from the last time.

The thirty new computers, on top of the twenty already there, wouldn’t make it difficult to earn back the investment.

What was particularly clear is that the initial twenty computers now had no cost associated with them, meaning all revenue they generated was pure profit.

At the same time, the thirty new computers were continuously making money, so the speed of earning was bound to be fast.

"There are thirty computers, and to thank you for your support, we’re giving you an extra one," she said to Boss Gu.

After she said this, Boss Gu was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected the extra surprise of receiving an additional computer, which was equivalent to the one for Old Zhang.

It was the same familiar driver, unloading the goods on his own.

Old Zhang stood by, looking like he wanted to help but was afraid to; after all, if he damaged something, he couldn’t afford to pay for it.

He hadn’t earned much yet – if a computer worth nearly ten thousand yuan got damaged, he would only be able to cry.

"Boss Gu is the first in our country to adopt this model, but now there are imitators in many other cities. You should think of a strategy, Boss Gu. I believe that it won’t be long before someone else opens an internet cafe in Chuan City," she reminded him amicably.

It was purely a friendly reminder, as she had no need to mention these matters to Boss Gu.

Boss Gu nodded; he was aware that the world was not short of wealthy people, and surely someone would notice the lucrative business of the internet cafe and quickly start copying it.

But no matter, the road for the internet cafe was still long, with futures in esports cafes and esports hotels.

There were many moves to make on this path, and for Boss Gu, taking out those copycats would be way too easy.

To speak of something closer in the future, electronic sports gaming would emerge in a few years.

When that time came, his internet cafe could quickly spread across various regions, then coordinate with the gaming sector to sponsor a nationwide internet cafe tour.

Just this point alone would let Boss Gu earn a hefty profit.

Could those copycatting him even consider these things?

"By the way, I’d like to discuss something with your company," Boss Gu suddenly remembered, then said to her.

The woman was curious upon hearing this, wondering what Boss Gu had in mind.

"I want each new generation of your product reserved for me as soon as it comes out; I want to pre-order," Boss Gu said.

The woman agreed without hesitation after hearing this.

"Of course, there’s no problem with that, and I will deliver them to you as soon as possible," she said.

"Aside from this, I hope we can establish a trade-in partnership. When a new generation comes out, I hope your company will buy back our old equipment, such as motherboards, video cards, and the like – I hope you can take all of these items."

However, after Boss Gu said this, the woman hesitated. Considering that Boss Gu’s machines were operated almost 24 hours non-stop, taking them back might not be very useful.

These used machines would inevitably have a high failure rate due to time in service, and such operations would incorporate costs.

"To show my sincerity, I’m willing to sign a contract. For the next thirty years, every new generation product from your company will be purchased for my internet cafe. At the same time, during these thirty years, your company agrees to buy back my old equipment at fifty percent of the original retail price," Boss Gu said while suggesting they officially sign a contract.

In the next thirty years, Boss Gu would buy the new products unconditionally.

And in turn, the trade-in program must also continue.

At this, the woman hesitated, as fifty percent of the price for buy-back wasn’t much.

The secondary market for computers was already established, and second-hand computers were available on the market.

And the costs of used computers were much higher than fifty percent of the retail price.

According to Boss Gu’s proposal, if a computer had a retail price of ten thousand yuan, it should be bought back for five thousand yuan the following year when new equipment arrived.

In the current market where used computers were abundant, those dealing in second-hand electronics typically offered about sixty percent of the original price for buy-back.

The price Boss Gu offered was not very high.

Even more, if their company was willing to refurbish them, they could resell them.

"Okay, I’ll take charge of this matter and agree to sign," she said directly to Boss Gu.

Upon hearing this, Boss Gu smiled slightly, his face full of mystery.

Was this deal a loss for him? It might seem like a loss now.

But not in the future, and there would even be some interesting outcomes.

In the future, when graphics card prices soared, many would struggle to buy one.

Yet with a contract in hand, no matter the circumstances, the cards would be his.

He was simply laying a foundation for his future.

The two parties quickly reached a verbal agreement, and the woman needed to go back to her company to prepare a contract and consult a lawyer before signing with Boss Gu.

After the thirty computers were moved into the internet cafe, the woman and her driver were ready to leave.

"Boss Gu, I wish you a prosperous business and look forward to a pleasant cooperation with you," she said to Boss Gu.

After she left, Boss Gu looked at the computers inside the cafe, still unpacked because desks and chairs had not yet been purchased.
