Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 294 - 125: Snowball Game, Marching Toward Becoming a Million-Yuan Dog Owner! (3)

In fact, with the new semester about to begin, some employees noticed that familiar freeloaders in the store behaved differently from the last semester. They weren't just gathering QQ info or surfing online; instead, they were asking staff about configurations and prices, clearly showing an intention to buy a computer.

The beginning of the semester after the Spring Festival marks the peak of computer purchases over the next half month!

Over ninety percent of parents of first-year students won't buy them a computer as soon as they start college, but many parents will change their minds by the second semester.

Some will wait until the first semester of their second year, or the second semester of their second year.

There are fewer students buying a computer in their third year, and almost none by the fourth year, unless they can't afford one due to poor family circumstances.

Those making inquiries probably got approval from home and are ready to purchase, rather than just freeloading in the store.

That evening, several college students whose parents had already transferred money to their cards eagerly took home their computers.

As former freeloaders, their desire and intention to buy a machine were actually more intense than anyone else's.

The more you experience computers, the more you want to buy one, rather than just freeloading at the digital store. After all, running over every day is a hassle, and you still have to stand.

Digital stores definitely won't provide chairs, after all, they're called experience centers, not freeloading centers.

So some former freeloaders found ways to convince their parents over the winter break and couldn't wait to come back and get a computer once school resumed.

Su Zelin didn't rush to talk business with Kang Baohong; he helped out at the digital store upon arrival.

They stayed until the end of the day, when the staff had finished cleaning and left, and then went to the manager's office.

Kang Baohong first boiled water to make a pot of Pu'er tea.

He knew Su Zelin liked drinking Kungfu tea.

When he was a young part-timer at an internet cafe, he didn't drink it, but now as a manager, he's accustomed to it. Having a few cups while discussing matters is refreshing and feels more classy.

He brewed aged Pu'er, catering to the small boss's taste. This was Su Zelin's daily drink.

"Baohong, thanks for your hard work over the winter break. With you looking after the store, I could go home with peace of mind!"

Su Zelin first encouraged Kang Baohong.

The Spring Festival is Xia Country's most important holiday. Kang Baohong's dedication to the job is highly commendable.

"You're too kind, boss. Managing the store is my responsibility. You entrusted me with it despite my prior position as just a network admin, and that trust drove me to give my all!"

Kang Baohong felt grateful, like a talented steed meeting a discerning owner.

He always thought he was capable but underappreciated.

So when he finally earned someone's trust and opportunity, he was determined to repay it wholeheartedly.

Su Zelin nodded and got to the main point, "At the start of the new semester, in the next ten days, if all goes well, the store will experience the largest wave of computer purchases. We need to prepare thoroughly!"

"Yes, boss, I know. These past two days, there have already been quite a few assembling computers, and many are also inquiring about prices. It seems likely they will make purchases soon, but..."

Kang Baohong changed his tone, "We are running low on stock."

"Then stock up more. Contact our suppliers quickly and order 300,000 worth of goods at once!"

Planning to withdraw the money he invested in several B stocks, Su Zelin intended to retrieve it the next day.

In his previous life, those stocks saw a 300% increase from mid-February to mid-May, a span of three months.

The average monthly gain was over 100%, but in reality, the first month saw the fastest growth.

Investors who got in early could gain over 150% returns in just one month, making substantial profits.

By the second month, they could only make small profits.

In the third month, there wasn't much left to make.

By the fourth month, they would be the ones getting caught in the downturn.

Su Zelin got in early. Apart from his own 100,000, he also borrowed 28,000 from Huang Panpan and Nanaz, investing a total of 130,000 and earning over a 150% profit. After selling, he'd have around 330,000.

Although those three B stocks still had over two months of potential returns, that was speculative. The New Era's real business was undoubtedly more important.

Furthermore, the computer purchase peak in the digital store over the next ten days would certainly be more profitable than those B stocks, so he needed to withdraw the funds first. After the peak, reinvesting wouldn't be too late.

"300,000!"

Kang Baohong was invigorated.

This was the first time the store had stocked so much.

"Yes, the warehouse issue has been settled, so we can stock up more!"

Su Zelin smiled.

Even Kang Baohong didn't know that the previous limited stocking was due to his lack of funds, not because New Era's warehouse was too small to hold it.

Of course, he couldn't tell Kang Baohong this. It was important for him to believe in his strong capabilities, giving him more confidence in New Era's future.

Now, with funds available and the warehouse issue resolved.

Kang Yulian, having seen the benefits, was very enthusiastic about the digital store's matters, urging Dai Chuangxing to propose policy support to the college, which was approved. During the winter break, they built a large warehouse in the vacant space behind the digital store, as there was ample unused land at the college.

"Discuss with the component suppliers and try to negotiate the prices down a bit!"
