Based on the value of the old computers, they can be converted into a certain amount of money, allowing internet cafe owners to replace them with a batch of new computers by paying an additional sum. Furthermore, given that some internet cafe owners genuinely lack funds, Galaxy Bank can provide them with loans.
At this time, starting an internet cafe business is guaranteed to be profitable, and banks aren't worried about bad debts.
On the contrary, they could take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune off the internet cafe owner.
The following day at noon, Wujiang Group announced its "trade-in" program.
The news spread quickly among internet cafe owners, sparking heated discussions.
"Wow, Wujiang Group is amazing! They've offered such great terms. My computers are six months old, and according to the 'trade-in' program, I can get a one-third discount! It's incredibly generous! Plus, I can get a loan from Galaxy Bank. I don't have to spend a single penny of my own money to upgrade all the computers in the internet cafe!"
"Damn it, it has to be a Hasee computer to be worth the price when you calculate the value. Other brands of computers have a drastically reduced value when you calculate the value!"
"Hehe, of course! Wujiang Group certainly won't buy computers from other brands! So, everyone who opens an internet cafe should definitely buy Wujiang Group's computers. Who knows, there might be a similar promotion next time!"
"The launch of Wujiang Group's 'trade-in' program is clearly a preparation for the upcoming release of 'Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy.' However, if the game is not fun and players don't buy it, wouldn't those internet cafe owners who upgrade their computer configurations be going to lose a fortune? So, I still want to wait and see."
"The person upstairs is right. I also plan to wait and see and not make a decision in a hurry."
"..."
Wujiang Group's "trade-in" program for computers immediately boosted the sales of Hasee computers.
Not only internet cafe owners are placing orders, but many home users are also very interested.
Other computer brands were hit hard.
In a short period of time, sales of computer brands such as Lenovo, IBM, Dell, and HP plummeted.
"They're inhuman!!! Wujiang Group is so damn despicable! This is practically a case of harming people with their own money! With this 'trade-in' program, who's going to buy Lenovo computers anymore?!" Liu Chuanzhi cursed angrily, his face ashen, his resentment suppressed for far too long.
Currently, Lenovo's only somewhat competitive product line is its computer products.
Many of the products we developed before have failed, including the FM365 portal website.
The Chinese character card disappeared a long time ago.
The copied MP3 player was not competitive and eventually withdrew from the market.
Lenovo's PC products were able to succeed not because Lenovo computers themselves were technologically advanced, but because Lenovo's major shareholder was the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which gave it a lot of support from government agencies and public institutions.
Currently, Wujiang Group's "trade-in" program is directly targeting existing customers in the market, which will further shrink Lenovo's market share.
“President Liu, we’ve done a rough estimate, and even if Wujiang Group does the ‘trade-in’ program, it won’t lose money!” At this moment, a Lenovo executive said with a grim expression, “The price of a Hasee PC 4 is as high as 10,000 yuan, but the actual cost price is no more than 2,000 yuan. You should know that Wujiang Group has achieved 100% self-production of Hasee PCs, including the most expensive chips, graphics cards, memory, hard drives, monitors, etc., all of which are produced by themselves.”
"A Hasee 3s computer, which is only half-new and less than six months old, has a maximum discounted price of only 5,000 yuan. The internet cafe owner has to pay an additional 5,000 yuan to buy a 'Hasee 4.' For Wujiang Group, this is still considered exorbitant profit!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chuanzhi was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
A Kirin Pentium 4 CPU chip was sold to Lenovo for 1350 yuan.
A "Kunpeng 4" GPU graphics card was sold to Lenovo for 888 yuan.
In addition, there are memory, hard drives, graphics cards, and the like—anything that's newly released is incredibly expensive!
If Lenovo were to launch a "trade-in" program with the same standards as Wujiang Group, it would definitely suffer huge losses.
Because of its extremely low costs, Wujiang Group was able to make a huge profit.
This left Liu Chuanzhi speechless, resentful, and helpless.
Lenovo lacks the technology to produce its own products and can only buy them from others.
Especially now, with companies like Nikon and Canon still fiercely competing on dry lithography machines, Wujiang Group has an absolute leading advantage in the chip field.
All major computer manufacturers worldwide need to purchase advanced chips from Wujiang Group.
"President Liu, we're having such a tough time. Without technology, we have no say. Sigh!!!" A Lenovo executive couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Chuanzhi seemed to feel a pang of regret at this moment. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have kicked the technical team out in the first place. Otherwise, Lenovo would be the company that is enjoying such great success now.
...
...
Wujiang Group's "trade-in" program for computers has spurred many internet cafe owners.
Many people felt this was a rare opportunity to take advantage of Wujiang Group, especially since there were bank loans available, so they contacted Wujiang Group one after another.
A massive transformation of internet cafes is underway across China.
Abroad, in Europe and America, the internet cafe industry is becoming increasingly sluggish.
In these developed countries, most households own personal computers.
Therefore, the internet cafe business is not very good.
Of course, if the location is good, the internet cafe business can still be done. However, internet cafes in Europe and America have gradually upgraded to internet cafes, which combine entertainment and leisure.
