Chapter 87

“Yes, in a couple of days, once the accessories arrive, we can officially open for business!” Yi Feng nodded, full of spirit.

Wang Tie rubbed his hands together, ready to make a big effort, “Brother Feng, what should we do next? Should we distribute flyers and advertise?”

Yi Feng smiled mysteriously, “No need, offline advertising is too troublesome and costly, not very cost-effective.”

“Then, how do we promote?” Wang Tie asked, puzzled.

“Go online, run marketing campaigns, it’s more effective!”

“Do you remember I told you about something called a search engine portal?” Yi Feng smiled.

“Remember, Brother Feng, but that portal just launched in January this year, seems like it has no other function besides search,” Wang Tie scratched his head, confused.

“That’s because you don’t know how to use it. If we also create a portal site, do good SEO optimization, and engage in community marketing on other portals, it will be the most effective and cost-efficient,” Yi Feng explained with a smile.

“SEO? Brother Feng, what’s that?” Wang Tie asked curiously.

“It stands for Search Engine Optimization, a new technology, hardly understood by anyone in the entire domestic internet, except for Qiandu.”

“Qiandu has only been around for less than half a year and hasn’t received enough attention yet. We can be the first to try it,” Yi Feng leaned back on the sofa, eager to start.

Wang Tie scratched his head, still not understanding, but his instinct told him this was a powerful marketing tool, and Yi Feng knew this technology!

Naturally, he trusted Yi Feng unconditionally and then said, “Hey, I’m not good with technology, might not be of much help!”

Yi Feng sat up straight, snapped his fingers, and said, “Wang Tie, there’s another very important mission for you.”

“I’m busy lately and can only ask you to do it, very important.”

“What’s the important thing, Brother Feng?” Wang Tie asked seriously.

“Use this address to register a company, a sole proprietorship, named Xifeng Technology.”

“Spend some money, find a business service company to help with the application. Your main job is to oversee the whole process, aiming to get it done before the university starts,” Yi Feng said solemnly.

The shop was primarily operating with an individual business license, not a corporate license. An individual business license is faster to obtain and sufficient for starting the business.

But if we’re to expand into larger operations, switching the business entity and incorporating a company is necessary.

The entire application process is complicated but can be done concurrently.

“Got it, I will take care of it!” Wang Tie nodded firmly.

Yi Feng patted his shoulder, smiling, “Good, go for it!”

“The day after tomorrow, we open!”

…

Two days later, after two days of preparation, a truck from Nanqiao Commerce delivered a load of brand-new computer parts from various brands!

Getting brand-new parts wasn’t hard; the challenge was getting them at the lowest possible price!

Nanqiao Commerce had direct sources from all major brands, offering the lowest prices on the internet!

This meant Yi Feng could earn a higher profit on the parts!

For example, he could get an Asus TX97 motherboard for a wholesale price of 650 yuan each from Nanqiao Commerce, but it could sell for 1200 yuan each on the market, and new, genuine products were scarce, even for those with money.

Yi Feng planned to sell each board for 1100 yuan, making a profit of 450 yuan per board, which was not a small margin.

After unloading the goods at noon, Yi Feng, Wang Tie, Han Ping’an, and Han Nannan together stocked the shelves and placed opening flower baskets at the door.

Then, Ning Feipeng’s voice was heard outside.

“Haha, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Yi Brother on the new store opening!” Ning Feipeng walked into the store with a hearty laugh.

“Welcome, welcome, Ning Brother’s presence truly honors us!” Yi Feng greeted with a smile, naturally in a good mood on the opening day.

Ning Feipeng turned to point at the door, where a few people were placing opening flower baskets on both sides of the door, and others were carrying complete PCs into the store.

“Yi Brother, I’ve brought you the complete machines as promised. Just sell them, and if they don’t sell, you can return them to me,” Ning Feipeng said with a smile.

Yi Feng was delighted, the profit on these complete machines was not low, all assembled by Ning Feipeng himself, with a selling price of around 8000 yuan per machine, yielding at least a 30% profit margin, all from the parts and bargaining on the complete machines.

If it’s a computer worth more than ten thousand, he could make at least a 50% profit!

“Great, great, thank you for your support, Ning Brother!” Yi Feng thanked him repeatedly.

Suddenly, the sound of high heels was heard at the door.

“Congratulations to President Yi on the opening, wishing you a prosperous business!” Lan Caiyi walked in wearing a black and white professional suit, her figure slender and captivating.

“Secretary Lan is here! Thanks for coming!” Yi Feng greeted with a smile.

“I’m here on behalf of President Feng today. He said he must support the event, but he had to go on a business trip today, so he sent me as his representative.”

“That’s the opening flower basket from President Feng.” Lan Caiyi gestured with her hand, indicating two people holding flower baskets at the door.

“President Feng is really thoughtful, thank you so much, please have a seat and enjoy some tea,” Yi Feng offered.

Han Nannan was responsible for serving tea, distributing it to everyone.

Lan Caiyi sat in the lounge area, looking around the shop with surprised and curious eyes, finding it very novel.

“How about it, Secretary Lan? You also think this shop is beautiful, right?” Ning Feipeng said with a grin.

“Indeed beautiful! Such a design I’ve never seen before, giving off a sense of simplicity, fashion, and technology. The atmosphere created by these furnishings and lighting is just too good!”

“This is the most beautiful shop I’ve seen!” Lan Caiyi gave a very high appraisal, full of admiration.

It was her first time seeing such a modern design, even more impressive than overseas stores!

After a while, Cheng Bo and Jiao Tongxing also sent flower baskets to congratulate Yi Feng on his opening.

“Brother Feng, let’s cut the ribbon and open for business!” Wang Tie shouted from the door.

“Okay, coming!” Yi Feng responded, then led the others out to the shopfront.

The storefront had gathered quite a crowd of curious neighbors, creating a lively scene.

Yi Feng was thrilled, the day had finally come!

His business was about to set sail!

Originally, he was supposed to cut the ribbon alone, but Yi Feng invited Ning Feipeng and Lan Caiyi to join him, showing his appreciation.

The three stood at the shop’s entrance, holding red scissors in their hands.

Yi Feng looked around and smiled, “Both of you, follow my countdown, let’s cut the ribbon together.”

“Okay,” Ning Feipeng nodded with a smile, also in a good mood.

“3!”

“2!”

“1!”

“Congratulations to Xifeng Electronics, officially open for business!”
