Chapter 1196: Bold Ideas

Shen Dapeng watched Chen Xiaoxuan's back gradually fade away, then turned and walked in another direction.

Huanyun Street is not far from Shuimu University, and it takes about half an hour to walk there. Since this street is located in the middle of several universities in Beijing, it has a superior location, so Shen Dapeng chose to open a computer store on this street.

Computers are a new thing, and college students in the early 21st century are keen to buy this thing. In addition, online games have just become popular at this time. Having a computer can not only listen to music and watch movies, but also play games, which is enough to make others envious.

However, this computer store on Huanyun Street, although adjacent to several universities, has not been prosperous. After Shen Dapeng and Cao Zhang discussed it, they changed to a sales strategy for high-end brands and mid-to-low-end games.

I don't know if this strategy has been effective recently. Shen Dapeng was thinking while walking.

On Huanyun Street, college students strolling in groups of three or two can be seen everywhere, but they are all in a hurry, and many people wear masks, as if they are afraid to avoid it.

Shen Dapeng stood at the door of the computer store and saw several young people who looked like students walked into the computer store and asked about the prices of the computers on the shelves. However, after hearing the prices, they all frowned and walked out without staying for long.

The computer store hired a pretty girl as a clerk. Since there was no business, she sat behind the glass counter and looked bored.

"Brother Peng is here."

When Shen Dapeng walked in, the girl immediately recognized him and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Shen Dapeng nodded, "Where is Cao Zhang?"

"He's inside." The girl pointed to a small compartment inside, which was a temporary resting place.

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Cao Zhang probably heard Shen Dapeng's voice and quickly walked out from the inner room.

"Dapeng, come here." Cao Zhang greeted lightly and then sighed lightly.

As expected, Shen Dapeng could see from Cao Zhang's face and the situation in the store that the business was not satisfactory.

"We can't go on like this." Cao Zhang invited Shen Dapeng to sit at a rest table and pointed to the various computers neatly arranged in the store but no one was interested in them.

"I came here today to tell you about this." Shen Dapeng actually had a bold idea in his mind when he was on the way here.

"Well, what can we do? Our computer store has a good location and a lot of traffic. Moreover, we specialize in selling branded computers. There are no problems with quality and after-sales service. We even brought gaming computers with powerful graphics cards as you suggested, but look..."

Cao Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointing to the huge store, "We can't lower prices for promotions anymore. If we do that, we really won't make any profit."

Shen Dapeng looked very calm. After listening to Cao Zhang's complaints, he thought for a while and said, "If the price remains like this, we will close sooner or later."

"Huh?" Cao Zhang was stunned and stared at Shen Dapeng in confusion, "Do you mean we should lower prices?"

Shen Dapeng looked directly at Cao Zhang's puzzled eyes and nodded silently.

"Dapeng, we opened this store to make money. If we really lower the price, how can we make money?" Cao Zhang's eyes widened, not knowing what Shen Dapeng was thinking.

Shen Dapeng gently waved his hand, signaling Cao Zhang not to speak.

"We still have to open the computer store and make money, but it's obviously not working like this now. We have to change!"

As the saying goes, change leads to success. Shen Dapeng was actually more anxious than Cao Zhang at this time. If we didn't change anything,

the computer store would really be dead.

"Change? How?" Cao Zhang stared at Shen Dapeng in disbelief.

"I asked Chen Xiaoxuan to go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen before. He has contacted a factory there and can give us the biggest discount. When the products come back, we will find someone to assemble them and sell them with our own brand. The price is much lower than these branded machines, but the performance in all aspects is comparable to branded machines."

Shen Dapeng's suggestion made Cao Zhang take a breath. He thought about it and said, "In this way, the price will indeed be more affordable, but I'm afraid it won't work to use our own brand as you said?"

Most of the computers displayed in the store are high-end branded machines. They are very famous, but few people are interested in them.

Cao Zhang couldn't help but smile and looked at Shen Dapeng, "Tell me first, what brand do you use?"

"Xiaoyu!" Shen Dapeng blurted out.

"Xiaoyu?" Cao Zhang was stunned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Why haven't you heard of this brand? Dapeng, if we use this brand, wouldn't it be like shooting ourselves in the foot?"

Shen Dapeng also laughed, "Tell me, how will it be a blow?"

Cao Zhang pointed at the computers on the shelf, "Look, the computers we sell now are all well-known brands, and the sales are average. If we put Xiaoyu's name on it, who would dare to buy it if they haven't heard of it?"

"And you also know that the epidemic from Guangzhou and Shenzhen is already very serious. Most students dare not leave the school. If we change to an unknown brand at this time, won't the business be even worse?"

Cao Zhang's concerns are not unreasonable. If he does what Shen Dapeng said, the computer store will close down in less than a month.

"Haha, Cao Zhang, you may not have heard of the brand Xiaoyu, but it does not mean that others have not heard of it. Xiaoyu Technology Company has not entered the computer industry, but in other fields, such as water purifiers and air purifiers, it has done very well."

"In the first- and second-tier cities across the country, Xiaoyu has a large market share in the fields of air purifiers and water purifiers. You can go and find out about this. In my opinion, not only will Xiaoyu Technology Company enter the computer industry, but it will also be different!"

Cao Zhang was stunned, "Xiaoyu Technology Company? Xiaoyu that produces purifiers and water purifiers? I know this, and it is now selling very well across the country. Dapeng, is it possible that you opened this company? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

Shen Dapeng smiled slightly, "My aunt opened it in partnership with others. If my aunt says something, there should be people who are willing to listen."

Cao Zhang looked at Shen Dapeng with wide eyes, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

Shen Dapeng said it lightly, and others couldn't hear it, but how could Cao Zhang not hear it?

Growing up in a family group, he was exposed to all kinds of business. What Shen Dapeng meant by this was that his aunt was the major shareholder of this technology company.

Shen Dapeng in front of him made him look at him differently. From Zhangpeng Bicycle to Computer Store, Cao Zhang already admired Shen Dapeng's unique business acumen, but he didn't expect that Shen Dapeng was even more capable than he thought.
