20. Buy a computer

The matter of opening an Internet café, in fact, Zhou Fang is far more concerned than the third brother.

He knew very well how profitable the original Internet café was, in fact, even before he was reborn, an Internet café with good benefits could still make a lot of money. You must know that computers were already highly popular at that time, and they had already entered thousands of households, and theoretically there was no need for these people to go to Internet cafes anymore. But there are still a lot of people who go to Internet cafes, after all, going to Internet cafes can experience a completely different atmosphere from playing at home, especially when good friends open black, Internet cafes are undoubtedly more suitable.

In today's era, Internet cafes are even more so, 90% of people's access to the Internet starts from Internet cafes, so whoever can open an Internet café at this time is simply equivalent to raising a large nest of old hens that will lay golden eggs.

So, early the next morning, Zhou Fangyuan rushed to the third brother's house with his 5,000 yuan without even eating.

The third brother is obviously also very anxious, he got up early today and didn't say anything, and he cleaned himself up early, and the white paper pasted on the door yesterday was not torn off, it seems that he also expected that he would not have time to open today. When the Internet café is opened in the future, this small game room should be eliminated. What Zhou Fangyuan didn't know was that last night, the third brother had already contacted the buyer of the game console, and he was ready to make a desperate bet this time, and even cut off his own back road, just so that he could devote himself wholeheartedly to it.

Yu Ban came at nine o'clock in the morning, and before he came, Zhou Fangyuan had already discussed everything with the third brother about opening an Internet café. For example, where to open the store, where to buy the computer, how to connect the network cable, etc.

In this, Zhou Fangyuan made a lot of effort, he thought about it for half a night last night before he took out all the things he needed from the depths of his memory.

At this time, computers were still luxury, and a brand new computer cost more than 10,000 yuan, which was not cheap.

Of course, if you buy in large quantities, it may be cheaper, but it is not much cheaper. And when they parted last night, the third brother quietly told him that the other party now has less than 200,000 funds in his hands, which is all the assets of the third brother, most of which are the compensation after the death of the third brother's parents and brothers, and a very small number of them are the ones he has saved over the years.

If you really buy a computer at the market price, you can buy a dozen computers at most, excluding rent and various expenses. The size is estimated to be about the same as the computer room they went to yesterday afternoon, and even a few more are not interesting. According to Qianyu's idea, either don't do it, or do it bigger, and it's best to be a hit, so that you can return the funds faster.

But with this amount of money, there is no doubt that it is difficult to make the Internet café bigger and stronger. Therefore, compared with the grilled sausage, the threshold of the Internet café is undoubtedly much higher. Unless you just want to open a simple computer room, if you really want to do it well, you can't start without two or three hundred thousand. On the contrary, in the future, after the general price reduction of computers, it will be easier to open an Internet café.

In short, 200,000 seems like a lot, but it's not much, don't think about brand new machines, they can't afford it, and they can't afford to waste it like that.

Fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan's memory is full of miscellaneous information, when he was in the first half of his high school year in his last life, he once heard two men talk about a news when he was in an Internet café. Even at the time, that information was seriously behind, but if you put it now, you may be able to catch up with it.

The content of the news is as follows: In order to promote modern office, the city purchased a batch of computers two years ago and enriched them with various government departments. Now, two years later, a new generation of computers is on the market, and the new computers are faster, more responsive, and of course more expensive.

However, if you buy it in the capacity of the government, there is no doubt that the price will be pushed to the lowest, and to be honest, in today's government departments, there are indeed all kinds of private pocket-filling phenomena, and some people plan to sell all the "old" computers that have just been used for two years, which can be regarded as ninety percent new, and use the money from the sale, plus part of the government's allocation, to buy a batch of new computers.

The computer dealer did not mention how to break the head for this business, and said that these old computers, judging from the news of the two people at the time, these computers were finally sold at a low price. When the two of them talked about it, their faces were full of regret, and they resented themselves for thinking too much about it at the time and not acting in time. It is said that at that time, all these old computers were sold at 30% of the original price, and the price can be said to be very cheap, but there is a requirement in the city that buyers must buy more than 50 units at a time.

Fifty computers, if you buy them at the original price at the brand new price, you will get more than 400,000 yuan, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford. But if it is thirty percent of the original price, this price will be compressed to more than 100,000, although this price is also very expensive, but there is no doubt that now Zhou Fangyuan and they can come up with this money.

Moreover, if the whole machine is assembled, the comprehensive quality is definitely better than that of the assembly machine, especially the internal structure and stability, which definitely exceed the assembly machine. Otherwise, what are the big computer manufacturers still alive for? If so many hardware engineers can't compare to the owners of computer shops on the street, it will be too cheap.

In short, this news is undoubtedly a natural existence for the current Zhou Fangyuan, and Zhou Fangyuan told the third brother about this early in the morning.

The third brother was also very surprised when he heard it, and after the surprise, he was ecstatic, and he bought dozens of computers at one time, and the scale was quite considerable. According to Zhou Fangyuan, this computer room ...... Internet cafes, I'm afraid they will become popular all of a sudden.

He seemed to have seen the scene of his future money, and the corners of his mouth were flowing with sparkling salivation.

"Then again, fatty, why do we have to call an Internet café? Isn't the computer room good? It's simple and clear, so that people can see what we do at a glance. ”

The third brother objected to the name "Internet café", in his opinion, the Internet café or something is really not as good as the computer room.

Zhou Fangyuan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, in response to this problem, he said it more than once on the way back yesterday afternoon, and Zhou Fangyuan also explained it many times, but the other party still thought so, which really made him quite helpless.

"Third brother, of course it's okay to call it a computer room directly, but don't you think the name of the computer room is very earthy? Because there is a computer, it is called a computer room? Is it that if I open a place that sells clothes, it will be called a clothes room? If I open a restaurant, it will be called a dining room?"

"Isn't the house on the latrine called a thatched house?"

Yu Ban interjected next to him.

was so angry that Zhou Fangyuan kicked over, this thing reacted quite quickly, and actually dodged it all of a sudden, with a smile on his face, obviously deliberately demolishing the stage.

"Get out!"

Zhou Fangyuan scolded with a smile, then turned his head to look at the third brother, put away his smile, and said with a serious expression: "Third brother, listen to me, what we have to do is not a simple computer room." What you saw yesterday was only the prototype of an Internet café, which was not connected to the Internet and could only play some stand-alone games. However, with the continuous reduction of network tariffs and the improvement of network speed, soon, these computer rooms will be connected to the Internet, and from then on, people from all over the world can communicate on the Internet, and it is not appropriate to call it a computer room at this time. In the future, all these computer rooms will be renamed Internet cafes, which is the abbreviation of 'come to the Internet bar', which is a general trend. If you don't believe me, you can find a newspaper from the past when you have time, and now there are many Internet cafes in the sea market and the capital. We either don't do it, we have to do it well, not only the scale must be up, the service must keep up, and most importantly, our concept must be on par with others. Can't be an Internet café, we're still a computer room, it may not look like anything now, another year, no, even if it is another half a year or even three months, this kind of title will be eliminated. Since you chose me, then you believe me, and it's just a name, don't you think the Internet café is more catchy than the computer room?"

In order to persuade the third brother, Zhou Fangyuan also tried his best.

Fortunately, the third brother was just talking, and he was really not ready to argue with Zhou Fangyuan about the name, so in the end he nodded and agreed to the name of the Internet café.

As for the specific name of the Internet café, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it is decided before going through the formalities and registering the license.

The most important thing now is to buy those old computers back.

The trio set off at once, this time targeting the city government compound.

When they arrived at the government compound, it was not yet ten o'clock, but they found that they had come a little late, more than 300 machines had been sold almost, and they were picked and picked by others, and only 60 units remained, and it didn't seem to be too good, at least compared with the computers that had been sold around, the rest of them were a little shabby.

After asking about the price, one is only 3,500 yuan, but these 60 units have to be purchased at one time, with a total price of 210,000 yuan.

"Do you really want to buy it?"

The third brother had a painful expression on his face.

The sum of the two of them is less than 230,000, which is already the entire net worth of the two. Once it is really invested, and it ultimately fails, there is a good chance that this money will be wasted, you must know that there are three lives in it, and if it is really lost, it is estimated that the fourth life will not be far away.

But Zhou Fangyuan knows very well that he will definitely not lose money when he is an Internet café at this time, the difference is only that he earns more and earns less.

So he glanced at the third brother, gritted his teeth, and nodded heavily.

"Buy!"
