31. Follow-up Arrangements

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello?"

A man's voice came over the microphone.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at the name on the note and asked, "Hello, is it Sun Wenlu?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"My name is Zhou Fangyuan, and I asked for your phone number from Teacher Wang from the College of Education. ”

"Oh, you're looking for me?"

The man on the other side asked suspiciously.

Zhou Fangyuan smiled and said: "That's the case, my brother wants to open an Internet café, and now he needs some technical support, I originally went to ask Mr. Wang, but Mr. Wang recommended you to me, in this way, you see when you have time, let's talk in person, it's always inconvenient to talk on the phone, you say yes?"

“......”

Zhou Fangyuan could clearly feel that the man opposite was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, his breathing was also a little rapid, which could be heard from the breath that the other party kept blowing onto the microphone.

"May I ask, what is your so-called technical support?"

"Of course," Zhou Fangyuan nodded, "Actually, it's not too difficult, at this stage, we need your help to debug the machine, and ensure that the machine runs smoothly, and after the machine has problems, it can be repaired and maintained in time." After a while of connecting to the Internet, we also want you to be able to help deal with the network problems inside the Internet café. In the future, if the scale of the Internet café expands, we also hope that you can develop and build a network café service system. Since you are Mr. Wang's proud student, it should be difficult for you to think about these things. ”

"Of course," the male voice on the other side suddenly became a little anxious, "It's just this kind of technical work, of course, it's no problem." When can we meet?"

"It's up to you," Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile, "Look at Brother Sun's time." ”

"I can do it today," this Sun Wenlu looked anxious, and he could hear it on the phone, "That, I just don't know ...... over there."

"Of course we don't have a problem, so it's decided, it's noon today...... I'll look at the time, well, it's about eleven o'clock, let's meet at eleven fifty, it's at the Fengyu Hotel on the fourth archway. After you come, just look for Fang Zhenbin directly, and the welcome lady at the door will bring you in. ”

"Okay, I'll get ready, then, let's see you or not?"

"Well, no see. ”

The whole process was very smooth, although this Sun Wenlu's tone was not very eager at first, but this was normal, after all, a complete stranger called, and whoever it was would be very indifferent. However, after Zhou Fangyuan briefly explained his own affairs, the other party immediately became enthusiastic and eager, and it could be heard that the other party wanted to get this job very much.

Back at the barbershop, the third brother hadn't finished it yet, Zhou Fangyuan sat on the sofa next to him casually, picked up a book of impurities and looked at it.

The impurities of the barbershop,Of course, nine times out of ten are hairdressing-related content,The pictures inside are very old-fashioned,For Zhou Fangyuan, who is used to seeing beautiful pictures in later generations,The pictures and hairstyles on this are too old-fashioned,The pixel is also low and pitiful,But it's good to pass the time。

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the third brother finally finished his haircut, and the whole person looked like a different person.

Wearing a white T-shirt shirt and navy blue jeans, a pair of white sneakers on his feet, and his hair is not long or short. And the third brother himself is not ugly, so with such a hand, the whole person is a lot more refreshing and sunny. Even the little girl who gave him a haircut had bright eyes after seeing the third brother whose temperament had changed greatly.

And the third brother is also stinky and beautiful in the mirror, and he doesn't know who the person who was reluctant to buy clothes and get a haircut was at the beginning.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, Zhou Fangyuan could only step forward, grabbed the third brother's arm, and forcibly dragged him out of the barbershop.

Then the two went all the way to the east, and soon returned to the vicinity of the fourth archway, turned to Dabei Street, and walked less than fifty meters to the door of Fengyu Hotel.

Fengyu Hotel is one of the most famous hotels in Beitong City, which is known for its affordability and deliciousness, and is one of the most conscientious hotels in Beitong. People come and go all day long, and business is quite prosperous. It's a pity that because they couldn't keep up with the trend, when other hotels were renovated and new hotels were built, the owner of this Fengyu Hotel still held that old marketing method, resolutely did not renovate the interior of the hotel, and resolutely used word of mouth to retain guests.

The end result is that when the tastes of other restaurants continue to improve, but the prices do not increase much, the traffic of Fengyu Hotel is getting less and less. In the end, even if the interior decoration was re-carried out, but the market of Beitong is so big, Fengyu Hotel, which has lost its first hand, has a special lag in response, and finally cannot make ends meet, and completely closes down in 05 years.

However, the land under his feet is said to have been sold for tens of millions, which can be regarded as recovering some losses for the owner of the hotel. But what's the use? It's an old hen that can always lay golden eggs, but in the end it is made into a pot of stewed chicken, and no matter how delicious the chicken is, it can't compare to the value of golden eggs.

Therefore, it is important to keep up with the times.

However, nowadays, Fengyu Hotel is still a well-deserved industry boss in Beitong.

Zhou Fangyuan felt that he had come early, and when he walked to the door of the hotel, he found that it was full of people, which showed how prosperous the business of this hotel was.

Entering the gate, the welcome lady at the door greeted him, Zhou Fangyuan asked, and after confirming that there was still a free private room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it has been said on the phone, if the other party comes only to find them sitting in the hall, it will invisibly lower Zhou Fangyuan's style. Although it cannot be said that the person who is in the hall must have a low style, it is best to find a relatively quiet place to talk about things. It's really not appropriate to make a lot of noise down here.

Fortunately, there is still a private room left, after all, there is a private room fee for entering the private room, and if the average person is not a particularly important occasion, he will not put the hall and do not sit and go to the private room.

After entering the private room, Zhou Fangyuan and the others did not rush to order, but asked the waiter to serve a small pot of tea, and then the two of them talked about things while drinking tea.

The progress of the Internet café has always been in line with their plan, if nothing else, there will be a maximum of ten days, and the basic decoration of the Internet café will be completed.

If you want the Internet café to open as soon as possible, then the task of these ten days will be very heavy.

First of all, the most important thing is to buy a computer, how to buy it, how much to buy, these are all particular. If you buy too much, but not enough people will go online, it will undoubtedly cause a certain waste of resources. At the same time, if you buy fewer computers and end up not having enough of them, that's not good. After all, players are here to consume the Internet, so it must be an hour or two for people to make a home, and this happens a few more times, I'm afraid that many people won't come again.

After preliminary discussions, Zhou Fangyuan and the third brother finally reached a consensus and temporarily positioned the number of computers at 100.

Because there are already 60 second-hand computers as a base, it is enough to buy only 40 new computers. It takes more than 10,000 to buy a whole machine, but if you assemble a machine, according to Zhou Fangyuan's estimate, one is at most five or six thousand.

But even if you only buy 40 assembly machines, you need more than 200,000 yuan, and then remove the money for decorating the Internet café, that is to say, the 300,000 yuan invested by the landlord is basically about to bottom out. Zhou Fangyuan and the third brother both sighed a little, this money seems to be a lot, but when you really spend it, you know that no matter how much money you have, it is no wonder that the richer you are, the more you want to make more money, and many times there is no way, the family has a big business, if you don't work hard to make more money, you may not even be able to maintain the current family business for too long, many people are pushed by money and career in this way, passively keep moving forward, and then unconsciously go far away, even to the point where there is no turning back.

Well, the gossip is out of the way.

In addition to computers, the second most expensive thing in an Internet café is the interior.

Computer desks, small decorations, lamps, etc., these are all costly, but fortunately, the price of these things is limited after all, and all of them add up, and a 10,000 yuan is enough to win.

In addition to the above two items, the third item is the salary of personnel.

Of course, it is impossible for such a large Internet café to be managed by its own people.

First of all, Zhou Fangyuan definitely doesn't have time, he still has to go to school. And the landlord, because he has to take care of the other party's "seeking to seize the industry", it is absolutely impossible for the third brother to allow him to participate in the management of the Internet café. But it is definitely not possible to rely on the third brother alone, this is not something that can be done by one person at all. But he doesn't have any relatives he can rely on now, so it is imperative to hire waiters and network administrators.

Nowadays, people's wages are generally low, and if you hire someone, in fact, one or two hundred a month is enough, and a better one will give three hundred.

The little girl behind the bar needs at least two, at least to be able to take shifts with each other. As for the network management, according to the established scale of Internet cafes, at least three should go up, and five is the most suitable.

The little girl's salary is calculated at 200 a month, and the network administrator's salary is 300 a month, which adds up to two or three thousand expenses. Moreover, this money still has to be spent every month, as long as the Internet café continues, it will only increase, not decrease. Speaking of which, the salary of personnel is much more expensive than tables, chairs and benches, but fortunately, this money is not given at one time, three or four thousand a month, three or four thousand a month, as long as the Internet café runs smoothly, this is not a problem.

However, the issue of money can be disregarded, but the issue of training must be started now. There are not many people in Beitong City who understand this new thing like an Internet café, and there may not be any people who have experience in network management. Zhou Fangyuan's words, although he has never been a network administrator, he used to deal with network administrators on the Internet so many times that he couldn't count them himself, so he could only take care of the training himself.

The third brother has no objection to this at all, and even he hopes that Zhou Fangyuan will take the initiative to take more things, if it weren't for Zhou Fangyuan still going to school, I'm afraid that the third brother would put all the management power on Zhou Fangyuan.

The two of them were talking, when there was a sudden knock on the door of the private room.

"Mr. Fang Zhenbin, someone is looking for you. ”

The waiter leaned in and said, followed by a rather mellow man.
