On the afternoon of the day when the transfer to Zhang Lu Bank was completed, Su An received a box of CDs packaged by the post office.

The software customization team originally planned to send the files directly to Su An, or even set up a cloud disk space for Su An to download by herself.

Faced with such perfunctory behavior, how could Su An agree?

So Su An continued to emphasize her identity as a crew member.

I am not a regular game company, let alone a software company, but a film and television crew.

Doing a full set of acting will make it appear more realistic.

When filming a costume drama, even a small salute will be required to fit the current time and space background.

So the software production team burned the disc. Not only did they burn the disc, they also printed a pattern on the cover of the disc.

What's more, the outer packaging has been designed for the CD.

There are a total of 50 mini-games, two online games, and an Internet cafe management software.

Coupled with the differences in software version numbers and development cycles, when Su An opened the postal package, there were more than 80 software CDs in the box.

However, when Su An carefully opened the box and looked at each disc, she also found that these software development teams had thoughtfully prepared game software development tools.

In addition to the software tools, the development team also comes with a card reader and an Internet cafe membership card with the Minion logo design.

I have to say that this money is well spent. Having such a team saves me a lot of time.

If we had recruited a team to start developing online games in 2002, it would have taken at least a year to come up with these products.

Tomorrow is the first day of the National Day. However, as the first day of the National Day, it must also be the beginning of the overcrowding of the talent market.

It's hard to have a holiday. For people who want to change jobs, this is a rare job opportunity.

For freshly graduated college students who have not found a job by October, they cherish this rare recruitment window even more.

For business owners, it is also a good idea that many people hope to find jobs during the holidays, so many companies will post corresponding recruitment positions during the holidays.

However, compared to recruiting, Su An has another urgent matter that needs to be resolved before recruiting.

Before the Zhongguancun hypermarket closed, Su An began to search for the products she needed in the store.

There is Internet cafe management software, but a CD can't do anything.

What needs to be done now is to turn one CD into thousands of them.

Although it is possible to set up a website and let all Internet cafes across the country download it themselves.

However, now that all formal and licensed Internet cafes are closed, and even the network cables are disconnected, they have no way to download it on their own.

Expecting these bosses to download it at home with Internet access and then take it to an Internet cafe to install it is a way to capture the market that is too passive and inefficient.

When Su An came to Zhongguancun Hypermarket this time, the first thing she did was to buy a CD burner to copy CDs on a large scale.

If I remember correctly, Xiao Liu from JD.com was selling recorders in Zhongguancun at this time.

In 1998, Xiao Liu rented a counter in Zhongguancun with 12,000 yuan. The name at the time was Jingdong Multimedia.

By 2001, Xiao Liu was already a big boss with a net worth of over 10 million.

However, now that he is a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions, Su An feels that he may not be able to see him in person in Zhongguancun.

In addition to large-scale purchases of optical discs and recorders, Su An also needs larger-scale purchases of card readers and membership cards.

This kind of card reader and membership card, let alone 2002.

Just five years ago in 1997, there were already many high-end clubs and hotels that fully used membership cards to achieve intelligent management of members.

You can read the guest's information with just a tap on the card reader, which will also make places like clubs and hotels look more upscale.

Even in 2002, it still seems to have that first trace of B style!

However, this set of card readers will be available in 2022 and will only cost a few dozen yuan if purchased from a certain store.

A thousand membership cards are only priced at 200 yuan with free shipping, so one card only costs 20 cents each.

If customers customize on a large scale, the price can even be reduced significantly.

After shopping around, Su An discovered in the Zhongguancun hypermarket that a card reader actually cost 300 yuan, and a membership card actually cost two fucking yuan.

"Can it be cheaper?" Su An came to a counter and sat down to discuss with the boss.

"Young man, this is really not cheap, this is a high-tech product!" the boss said to Su An.

After Su An heard the word "high technology", she looked at her boss in confusion.

"Can you give me the phone number of the manufacturer? I'll give you 20 yuan for free." Su An looked at the outer packaging of the card reader. This tm doesn't even have a production address or phone number. How dare you do this?

Asking price 300?

"Well, that's fine too." The boss thought for a moment and said happily.

Su An took the boss's phone book, looked at the phone number he pointed at, and called it with his mobile phone.

"Hello, are you Tianmen High-Tech Company? Is the Tianmen card reader produced by your manufacturer?" Su An asked.

"Sorry, we no longer produce that product." A middle-aged woman who answered the phone said.

"I want more. Can the production line be restarted?" Su An asked again.

"We've already said we won't produce it anymore. You can ask for as much as you want. Is it possible that you can still ask for 100,000 or 80,000 units!" After saying this, the other party actually hung up the phone.

"Hey..." Su An looked depressed. This woman must have gone through menopause!

If their boss knew that she had lost such a huge business to the company, this woman would be fined with a bottle of fine wine.

"Hey! I gave you the number, you can give me the money!" The boss reached out for the 20 yuan that Su An promised to give.

Although the deal was not concluded, Su An still paid the money.

However, just as Su An was about to leave, a middle-aged man at the counter next door came over.

"Young man, do you want a card reader? How many do you plan to buy?" the middle-aged man asked Su An with a smile full of big yellow teeth.

Good guy, those big gold teeth in this mouth!

"What? Do you know of a manufacturer that produces this kind of product?" Su An asked curiously.

"I know, I know, but..." The middle-aged man did not continue, and looked at Su An's handbag and laughed dryly.

"Okay, tell me, I won't lose you." Su An said with a helpless smile.

"There is a factory near Zhongguancun that produces these things, but they are all imitations of other people's products." The middle-aged man whispered to Su An.

"This is not important. What is important is the quality of the product." Su An said nonchalantly.

"Let's go, I'll take you over now to take a look." As he said that, the middle-aged man asked his wife to look at the counter, and he took Su An out of the store.

The place was really not that far away. After walking through the alley for more than ten minutes, everyone came to a two-story courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Su An quickly met the boss.

The boss is a middle-aged man who looks very capable and wears thick black-rimmed glasses.

Maybe it was because the weather was a bit hot and there was no air conditioning, so the middle-aged man smelled sour.

"Boss Wang, I'm here to introduce you to a client..."

"Hello, Boss Wang, my name is Su An, and I am the boss of Minion Network Company." Su An introduced herself.

But when introducing herself, Su An suddenly remembered something.

After all, I am now a big boss, so should I get a business card?

"Su...Hello, Mr. Su." Boss Wang is obviously not very good at reception. Seeing that Su An is so young, he doesn't know how to address him. Calling a young man a boss seems a bit nondescript.

After a pause, I had no choice but to call Mr. Su Ansu.

However, this Mr. Su seems a bit too formal.

"Just call me by name. Can you show me your products first?" Su An said to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

"Of course..." Boss Wang quickly invited Su An inside.

After seeing the demonstration of the product she wanted to buy, Su An had nothing to say.

"How much inventory do you have?" Su An glanced at the factory. There were only seven or eight workers on the operating table, using electric welders to weld something.

Just looking at the appearance of the product, it seems that I don’t know whose product it is imitating.

"We still have about a hundred card readers.

There are not many membership cards left, there are probably less than 1,000 left!

But I can contact the manufacturer to deliver the goods." Boss Wang said calmly.

"We want large quantities, so Uncle Wang can just offer the lowest price at a time!" Su An looked at Boss Wang and said with a sincere smile.

"This..." Boss Wang was not sure what Su An meant by large quantities, and hesitantly didn't know how to set the price.

"I initially estimate that 50,000 to 80,000 units will be needed within a year.

We need about two million membership cards." Su An said without hesitation.

A set of equipment is an Internet cafe. Nowadays, the Internet cafe industry is still in the era of manual accounting. Even if Internet cafe management software has been released in the past two years, it is also a paid version.
