“Come, have a seat.”

Pei Qian was very polite. He invited Zhang Yuan to have a seat on the sofa beside him. Assistant Xin left the guest room after serving tea. Ma Yang left the guest room too, leaving Pei Qian alone to chat with Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan scanned his surroundings with the corner of his eyes.

Everything in the room screamed luxurious! Looking at the boss’s outfit and the interior design of the company, Zhang Yuan realized that he was unable to put a price tag on almost every item he saw! He just had the feeling that everything seemed expensive!

Pei Qian smiled amiably and said, “Don’t feel restricted. Make yourself at home. Please don’t be too formal. Here. Have some tea.”

Zhang Yuan tried his best to appear nonchalant. However, his slightly uncomfortable seating posture betrayed him. Pei Qian contemplated how to start the conversation.

He heard from Ma Yang that the square-faced and energetic guy who spoke with a north-eastern Chinese dialect and sat opposite him was well-versed in all kinds of digital products and computer hardware.

Other than that, he knew nothing about the guy.

Pei Qian had to understand if the guy had any other talents other than his knowledge in building computers. For example, if he was a genius in marketing and knew how to do business, there was no way Pei Qian was going to accept him.

Maybe he should start with assembling computers.

Pei Qian thought for a while before asking, “For a computer to run large scale games that are currently in the market smoothly, what are your ideal configurations? What do you think is a suitable price?”

Pei Qian thought for a while and added, “The main objective is to run the games smoothly. You can include some exterior design effects, but they shouldn’t be overly fancy.”

It was normal for DIY system units to cost sixty or seventy thousand yuan. However, considering the complexities of the system, these types of computers that exceeded the requirements of normal gaming computers might brush the law if they were used in internet cafes.

The workspace Pei Qian now assigned his employees included a high-end desk, a high-end gaming chair, a high-end computer system unit, two gaming monitors with high refresh rates, and mechanical keyboards. This entire set summed up to about twenty thousand yuan.

The system wouldn’t allow any amount that was more than that and exceed what was required.

Actually, Pei Qian could also use the standard of computers in the office in the internet cafe.

However, the office computers that Assistant Xin bought were high-end business models that were designed to be used in the office. Their exterior was relatively plain and unsuitable to be used in internet cafes. Furthermore, they did not cater to the preference of the consumers.

Therefore, Pei Qian wanted to inquire about Zhang Yuan’s opinions.

…

Zhang Yuan understood then that he wanted him to assemble a computer! It seemed like the title of the forum manager of the GPU Forum indeed had some benefits attached. Zhang Yuan contemplated for a while. He knew from a glance that the Boss Pei in front of him was not short of money.

The laptop placed on the work desk seemed to be a high-end gaming computer from Alienware. Its market price should be above ten thousand yuan.

That meant that…

A gaming computer was not enough to satisfy this boss’s needs. He planned to DIY an expensive computer with high-end configurations!

However, he doesn’t know a lot about building computers and was afraid of being sca
