"We still have to continue selling computers. In fact, we are leaving a way out for ourselves."

Although all obstacles to publishing games on the AppStore have been eliminated, Yin Jun still dares not relax. After all, he is far away in the beautiful country. If any accident happens, he is beyond his reach, and it is very likely that the attempt will be in vain.

Yin Jun, who planned for a rainy day and wanted to leave a way out for himself, finally began to regard selling computers as a career.

Yin Jun did not go back to the dormitory, but went directly to Brother Dahai's shop.

As in the past, Brother Dahai’s shop didn’t have much business.

"You've come to save me." As soon as he saw Yin Jun coming, Brother Dahai felt as if he was seeing a savior, his face full of expectations.

"Okay, okay, first give me the supplier information I asked you to collect."

If he was looked at by a beautiful woman with shining eyes like this, Yin Jun would naturally enjoy it. But when he was looked at by a fat man like this, Yin Jun only felt a chill in his heart and quickly stopped.

After receiving an A4 piece of paper from Brother Dahai, Yin Jun looked at it and was a little surprised: "You can also buy ABIT brand, why couldn't you see it before?"

"Yes, but the current customers only recognize ASUS, MSI, Elite and Aiguojia. I only bought a dozen of them to have a look." Brother Dahai thought about it for a while and said.

ABIT, a motherboard brand, has disappeared from the DIY industry in later generations, but in 2008, it was still a first-tier brand, and its workmanship and materials were comparable to those of the four major brands, but it was not as popular as the four major brands.

What Yin Jun needs most now is this kind of powerful brand, but because it has no reputation, its pearls are in the dust. These brands are very willing to give up profits in order to rise.

In terms of motherboards, in addition to the first-tier brands, a second-tier brand must also be prepared.

After all, many customers don't pay much attention to the brand when buying computers. They only like cheap and cost-effective ones.

After many comparisons, Yin Jun chose a motherboard brand called Shuangmin. This brand has almost disappeared in later generations, but in this era, it is a very reputable brand, and its advantage is that it has a low failure rate.<

/p>

Next is the graphics card. The technical content of this thing is not as high as that of the motherboard. There is no huge difference between the brands. Unlike the motherboard, the BIOS of the first-tier brand is more convenient and easier to use than the second-tier and third-tier ones, and has more functions.

The difference in graphics cards mainly depends on the materials used. The more materials used, the better the heat dissipation will be, and the quieter it will be.

However, today's computer cases are relatively bulky and do not have many openings for heat dissipation like later generations of cases. After the case cover is closed, it can be completely closed to block the transmission of noise.

Even if the graphics card fan is loud, as long as it is not like a helicopter propeller, it can be silenced after being installed in the chassis.

So for graphics cards, first-, second- and third-tier brands have similar experience.

Yin Jun naturally chose the second- and third-tier brands that are more affordable and high-quality, and finally checked the two brands Mingxuan and Rainbow.

In later generations, Yin Jun was the agent of these two brands the most. They were of high quality and low price, and had no major problems. He had a good impression of these two brands.

As for the computer core CPU, there are not many choices. The only two are either Intel or AMD.

Since the launch of Core 2, Intel has certain advantages, with stronger performance and lower heat generation, but AMD's CPU is more cost-effective and has a large number of fans. The main reason is to use whoever gives the most rebates.

After selecting the three most expensive and important accessories in the computer, the next ones are some small accessories. These accessories have little impact on the performance of the computer and are not easy to break. Naturally, Yin Jun tries to choose second- and third-tier products that are much cheaper.
p>

But Yin Jun did not go crazy in order to control costs. In terms of power supply, he still chose powerful and reputable brands such as Huntkey.

After all, the power supply is different from other accessories. If other accessories in the computer are broken, at most it will be damaged. But if there is a big problem with the power supply, it may just trip and cut off the power, or it may burn other accessories and turn the computer into a pile of scrap metal.<

/p>

In a more serious situation, the computer may spontaneously ignite. If the computer burns out, you are lucky. If it causes property damage or personal injury, Yin Jun will have to walk away with nothing to eat.

After selecting various computer accessories brands, Yin Jun used the phone in the store to call the agents of these brands and start bargaining.

Yin Jun said all kinds of good things and painted a big picture, but in the end there were still not many people who were willing to take care of the business. After all, Yin Jun had not achieved any results, and his words were empty.

"We are already very cheap, is this what it is?" Brother Dahai looked on with some admiration, but more with doubts.

"Either you don't do it, or you have to do your best to do it. Do you know what kind of computer is the best to sell? Cheap! It's not the kind of cheap that is shoddy, but the kind of cheap that is cost-effective, so it must be refined.

Choose carefully." Yin Jun answered Brother Dahai while sketching on the paper without raising his head.

After being rejected many times, Yin Jun became very angry and started to scold those agents again.

"Damn, CJ's provincial representative, a 250g hard drive actually costs 380, and they won't even give up a ten-dollar profit. What a fool. Do you think I don't have the phone number of the Western Digital agent?"

"The same goes for the person who sells computer cases. A Futukang computer case actually costs RMB 100. That case is mostly made of plastic and is junk that breaks when dropped. How dare you sell it so expensively?"

"There is also someone who sells optical drives. It's also 13 o'clock. This thing that is about to be eliminated actually dares to charge such a high price."

……

By two o'clock in the afternoon, Yin Jun, who had made more than a dozen calls, was finally satisfied. He immediately wrote a configuration list according to the negotiated brand and asked Dahai to pick out the accessories and assemble them.

Brother Dahai took it over and took a look and found that what Yin Jun wrote was still the previous four sets of configurations, but because many of the accessories were replaced by cheaper ones, the price also dropped by about one to two hundred.

"Now that there is no business, why install the computer?" Brother Dahai did not act immediately, but asked in confusion.

"If I want to open a Taobao store, I must have real objects to take photos." Yin Jun said casually, and finally asked: "Should you have a camera here?"

After hearing this, Brother Dahai's face changed drastically. He approached Yin Jun, pulled his sleeves, and advised: "Brother, I advise you not to open a store on Taobao. It is difficult to sell computers assembled on it."<

/p>

Yin Jun was not frightened, but smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know that I opened a Taobao store just to facilitate customers to place orders and manage orders and cash. I don't really want to do online business."<

/p>

Yin Jun did not lie to Brother Dahai. He really did not make the decision in a hot head, but he had already understood the online computer sales in 2008.

Later people often said that before 2008, you could make a lot of money just by opening a store on Taobao, and you could sell even if you sold air. This was an exaggeration and a romantic imagination of that period of dividends.

During this period, it was indeed possible to make money by opening a Taobao store, but most of them were concentrated in fast-moving consumer goods and clothing and textiles. It was difficult to sell electronic products such as computers that cost thousands of dollars.

After all, in 2008, unlike later generations, online shopping has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if there are young people who follow the trend and are willing to try it, most of them will choose brand computers because the after-sales service is better. Most brand computers have after-sales outlets in cities across the country.

.

This is incomparable to a shop that assembles computers alone.

Another factor that restricts the online business of computer assembly is express transportation.

In 2008, unlike later generations, large-scale infrastructure construction had just begun. The railways and roads that would extend in all directions and connect cities, counties, towns and villages at all levels across the country like a spider web had not yet been completed, which resulted in extremely high freight costs.

In Yin Jun's later generations, a computer could be shipped to all regions across the country, except Xinjiang and Tibet provinces, for a maximum of only thirty thirty freight.

In 2008, the average transportation cost of each computer was more than a thousand miles, and the freight cost was at least 100 yuan. Whether the freight was paid by the seller or the buyer, it directly eliminated most of the competitiveness of cheap computer assembly.

Moreover, violent express delivery must also be taken into consideration. For every twenty computers sold by Yin Jun in his previous life, there would be one. Due to violent express delivery, the wires were loose, the glass was broken, and the CPU was shifted.

Fortunately, there were smartphones at that time, which could teach customers simple repairs remotely, and express delivery was fast and cheap. Even if the repair could not be repaired, it would not be a waste of money and time to return it for repair.

But now in 2008, major express delivery companies have not yet experienced the explosive period of the e-commerce era, and have not yet innovated to improve service quality. The failures caused by violent express delivery will only increase.

For such a fault, in 2008 when smart phones were not popular, the only option was to return it for repair, which cost another 200 yuan for express delivery. This would probably not make much money, and it was also very troublesome.<
