Chapter 14 Pirated CDs start and the war begins

One month before the official CD-ROMs of Kirin Computer Manager were launched, Cao Mang asked the logistics department to organize a dinner party for several of the largest pirate dealers in Shenzhen.

In fact, these pirates are all optical disc watering plants, but when doing business, you can't just wait for business to come to your doorstep, so they can only create their own business, and the pirated optical disc business was born as a result.

A disc costs 3.5 cents, and the genuine dealer only gets 50 cents. A disc only makes a profit of 1.5 cents. Even if it costs tens of millions of copies, the profit is only a million, including equipment costs, labor costs, etc.

It won't make any money at all.

They would have starved to death if they had only been in the business of genuine dealers, and the profits from piracy are more than ten times higher than those from OEM genuine ones. The wholesale price of a pirated disc can reach 2.5 yuan, which shows how terrible the profits are.

The logistics department was able to contact them because they had business relationships with each other. The driver CDs for Kirin Computer products were manufactured by these people.

"I wonder why Boss Cao came to us this time?" asked an older man with relatively high prestige among pirate dealers.

"Uncle Kun, I will give you the cracked version of Kirin Computer Manager, and I hope you can sell it all over the country." Cao Mang said after putting down the tea cup in his hand.

These people are not just pirates, they also control pirated CD channels across the country.

"Pfft!" When one of the bosses heard Cao Mang's words, he spat out the water he had just drank.

A group of pirates even wondered if they had heard it wrong.

Cao Mang actually asked them to sell pirated CDs of Kirin Computer Manager?

Although these people are all ugly, they have jointly raised a cracking team. Kirin Computer Manager was also their target. Unfortunately, this team spent a month without success.

"Boss Cao, are you kidding us? The housekeeper of Qilin Computer is your guy for dinner." Uncle Kun picked up a cigar and the boy lit it for him. He took a puff and said.

Uncle Kun had a slicked back hair, trousers and a floral shirt, and was accompanied by two younger brothers. I don't know, I thought he was a black man.

Even though Uncle Kun is over 60 years old, he once served as a communications soldier in the army, and his understanding of technology is as good as that of young people.

Not only are most of these pirates from his hometown, but most of the channels across the country are also from his hometown.

"Uncle Kun, I don't dare to joke with you. To be precise, what I give you is also the genuine version, of course it is a weakened version, and it also requires an activation code to install. I only charge 5 yuan for an activation code." Cao

Mang replied seriously.

"I wonder how Boss Cao plans to settle the bill?" Uncle Kun flicked the ashes of his cigarette and asked again.

"Each activation code can only activate one computer. I will settle the bill with you at the end of each month." Cao Mang said.

"Boss Cao is moral. Come, everyone, let me toast to Boss Cao." Uncle Kun picked up the wine glass and said.

....

After the meal, the group got together again.

"Uncle Kun, an activation code costs five yuan, and you just agreed to it?" a former pirate asked through gritted teeth.

"It's only 5 yuan, what does it mean? The wool comes from the sheep. How much money do we usually make by selling a pirated disc for 2.5 yuan? Have you ever thought that what we are selling this time is a genuine disc, a wholesale sale?"

There is no problem with 10 yuan or 15 yuan, and the cost is only 5 yuan and 25 cents. When the young man handed over the business to us, it was equivalent to handing over the genuine agency rights to us." Uncle Kun replied.

After hearing what Uncle Kun said, everyone thought that they had earned something.

Uncle Kun is still Uncle Kun, and ginger is still old and spicy.

Of course, Uncle Kun didn't say anything to them. They were just exchanging interests. The channels they had alone were worth hundreds of millions. Cao Mang didn't spend a penny to use them to sell goods all over the country, and he could even make money through them.

Take at least a profit of over 100 million.

Don’t you still make money if you have money?

So Uncle Kun didn't make it too clear to these people.

....

This time when placing an order with Intel, Cao Mang also ordered a batch of server chips. He built 300 servers in less than a week, and the cost was half that of external procurement.

However, these 300 servers also cost him nearly 100 million.

The war between Qilin and Goose Factory also begins.

...

After Awei returned to school, he installed Kirin Computer Manager and discovered that Kirin Chat and Kirin Game Platform were added. His curiosity drove him to click on these two software.

The registration process for Kirin Chat is very simple. Just enter a custom account and password. Unlike Penguin, you have to remember the account assigned by the system.

After registration, there is an invitation to fill in information. Of course, you can also choose to skip this step.

Awei still followed the system request to fill in the information, and then found that there was a lot more information to fill in than Penguin, such as what school you study in, where your hometown is, etc.

Although it was a bit cumbersome, Awei still filled in the information.

After filling in the form, the system issued a sweet female voice: "You have a new text message."

The small Kirin icon in the lower right corner was flashing, and when he clicked on it, a pop-up window popped up.

[Hello, freshman Xiao Qilin, if you feel lonely alone, I would like to invite you to have a chat with fellow alumni of Southern University of Science and Technology. 】

After the pop-up text disappears, a rectangle appears.

At the top is a circle with a profile picture inside, and directly below is her personal name, followed by her personal information, and then a six-star pattern.

After Awei clicks in, the personal space pops up, where you can see the girl's diary and photo album.

"Isn't this a photo of the school beauty Zhang Xinxin? Didn't Ah Wei see that you have a lot of connections?" The roommate said, patting Ah Wei on the shoulder when he was fascinated by it.

"Damn it, did you know that people who scare you will scare them to death?" Ah Wei said in shock.

"Awei, yours seems to be different from Penguin. What kind of software is it?" The roommate asked again after discovering the clue.

"Qilin Chat, I installed Qilin Computer Manager and it appeared out of nowhere." Awei replied.

"Ah? Kirin Computer Butler? Isn't that only equipped with Kirin Computer? I remember yours is not the motherboard of Kirin Computer." asked the roommate.

"I gave you the pirated disc I bought at SEG today. Remember to treat dad to dinner today." Ah Wei handed the disc to his roommate.

"Okay, no problem." The roommate said after taking the light.

The weakened version of Kirin Computer Manager is mainly for registered users at the first time. As long as you are connected to the Internet, the data will be uploaded to the server. Once connected to the Internet, the secondary registration function will be restricted, so even if you install and register without being connected to the Internet,

Useless.

Naturally, Ah Wei's roommate failed to install it successfully, but the news about the appearance of school beauties and girls from the same school on Qilinchang Chat spread.

[What should you do if you want to meet a girl but you are shy? You can try Qilin Chat, maybe your first step will be taken.]
