In the end, Ding Sanshi still couldn't escape the law of true fragrance. It was because Wang Yi was too short of money now!
Excluding from the partnership with the express delivery company a few days ago, there were only 100,000 yuan left on the account of the company.
Adding on the money he earned a few days ago, he should be able to earn about 200,000 yuan in the end.
200,000 seemed like a lot of money, but when he started using it, it was nothing.
For example, long before the creation of Wang Yi, in 1996, Ding Sanshi had thought of making online games. At that time, online games in China were still at the level of word games.
Most of the games were Wuxia games. When you clicked on "Attack", the webpage would refresh, and a paragraph of text would appear on the screen
: ？HP, you gained XXX and so on.
However, because the number of netizens was too small, Ding Sanshi did not have the funds to make a good online game, so he had never stepped into the gaming industry.
It wasn't until 2001 that Wang Yi received funding, had money, and had a user base that they started to develop their first game.
Other than making games, Ding Sanshi had many other things he wanted to do. For example, now that Wang Yi had started to give each user 20M of personal space, he needed to spend money to buy a server.
Wang Yi's current server cost 20,000 yuan, and the hard disk was only 18G in size. Even if all the hard disks were given to users, 900 people would be able to use up all the memory.
If he wanted to give more users a free personal space, he would need to set up more servers. Each server cost 20,000 yuan, and 18 GB of memory. On average, 1GB of memory cost 1100 yuan.
If every user used up all of the memory, then 1G of memory would only be enough for 51 users. Even if each user only used half of the memory, 1G of hard disk would only be enough for 100 people.
In other words, the cost of each user was about 11 yuan. Now that all the content in Wangyi was free, this money was an expenditure that could not be repaid in a short period of time. The money on the account alone would not last long.
Not to mention that Ding Sanshi already had the idea of setting up a free email service. When that time came, it would be a huge expense!
The biggest problem in Ding Sanshi's mind had always been how to rope in investors!
Even though they had not managed to attract any investors, they had received two business deals from Zhang Mu, which greatly relieved the financial pressure on Wang Yi.
Therefore, no matter how difficult Zhang Mu's request was, as long as he could earn money, Ding Sanshi was willing to do it.
Since he had chosen the internet industry, Ding Sanshi had never been afraid of staying up late!
At the same time, Ding Sanshi suddenly had an idea in his mind."
Zhang Mu is so rich. Suda Express earns millions every month. Now, he has invested more than ten million into the supermarket industry. He can be said to be rich and powerful. Moreover, after these two interactions, I feel that Zhang Mu's character is also very good."
Otherwise, since Zhang Mu could tell from him that he was asking for a high price, he could have gone to other places to inquire about the real cost and then negotiated with him to reduce the price to the lowest. However, Zhang Mu did not do so.
Instead, he had allowed him to earn a fortune and make a friend like him, giving Ding Sanshi a good impression of him.
Now that Wang Yi was short of money, they needed to recruit investors. Although Zhang Mu was not in the Internet business, he had needed his help to make software twice recently. Could he try to talk to Zhang Mu and ask him if he had the intention to invest in Wang Yi?
However, the matter of investing in the company was too important. Ding Sanshi's words alone did not count. He had to go back and discuss it with Zhou Zhuolin. After all, Zhou Zhuolin was also a shareholder.
Ding Sanshi tried his best to clear his messy thoughts. He looked at Zhang Mu and said,
"Chairman Zhang, I thought about it just now. Do you think this is possible?" You have just opened your first store, so the cashier and member management system do not need to be connected to other stores for the time being.”
"We can make a standalone version first. We don't need to assume a server. We can work directly on the cash register and computer in the supermarket. Later, we can gradually update the software…"
"In that case, the workload will be much smaller. I'm sure it can be done in half a month. Otherwise, the time is too tight. It doesn't matter if I can't earn money, but I'm afraid it will delay the opening of your supermarket..."
Zhang Mu thought about it and felt that there was no problem with this. After all, it was useless to push too hard. Even if Wang Yi made things in a hurry, the quality could not be guaranteed. In the end, it would still cause trouble for him.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. However, the software update in the later stages will be faster. After all, I might open a branch soon.”
"No problem. Don't worry, Mr. Stanley. It won't delay your future use!”
Ding Sanshi patted his chest and said. He did not agree with Zhang Mu's words. No matter how rich Zhang Mu was, it was impossible for him to invest in several supermarkets at once.
After all, he knew that the first year's rent of the supermarket alone cost 11 million yuan, not including the renovation, purchasing, and hiring expenses.
The business of the first supermarket was still unknown. Would Zhang Mu rashly open a second supermarket?
That would be too risky. Ding Sanshi guessed that he would not be able to open a second supermarket for at least three to five months.
After he finished the standalone version of the program and received the money, he could start buying servers and continue to develop users.
In a few months or even longer, when Zhang Mu was ready to open his second store, he would send someone to finish the official version of the software.
Or both of them could be done at the same time. Anyway, there was no hurry, so he could do it slowly.
After all, there was a saying that went,'slow work makes fine work'!
The
supermarket was working overtime to renovate. Because there were too few supermarkets, there was not even a company that specialized in shelves. All the shelves needed by the supermarket were specially customized by the local factory and could be delivered in a few days.
The details such as the cashier procedures were done, but the problem of the source of goods had not been resolved.
After sending Ding Sanshi away, Zhang Mu immediately called Chen Yizhou into his office and instructed,
"Old Chen, I have a task for you. Spread the news that our supermarket is about to open. Invite all the major suppliers to Shanghai to discuss the supply of goods…"
