Now the third brother is most concerned about the charging of the Internet café management system.

As for whether the system can be sold, he doesn't have much doubt. Because he knows very well how difficult it is to manage an Internet café, without a management system, everything depends on manual work. Not only are labor costs high, but even if a network administrator is hired, there will also be various problems such as misremembering time, missing time, cost conflicts, and so on.

The direct and indirect losses are very large, take Kailing Internet café as an example, when the network management is the most, there are a total of 12 people in two shifts, six people in each shift, in addition to two people who are responsible for delivering water and snacks, the other four people are responsible for patrolling back and forth in the Internet café, and at the same time recording the time, reminding customers to renew or get off the plane in time. It stands to reason that there are already a lot of people, and each person's salary of 500 per month costs 6,000 a month.

But the result?

There are still various problems, in addition to time mistakes and omissions, because it is all manual recording, sometimes there will be various conflicts with customers, although there is no brawl, but the resulting quarrels and losses are very large.

So if there is such a system that can help manage Internet cafes and guarantee that all these problems will be solved, I believe that most Internet café owners are still willing to spend money.

Then this charging method is very important.

"A one-time charge has the benefits of a one-time charge, and sustainability also has the benefits of sustainability......," Zhou Fangyuan said nonsense, "During this time, I was also thinking about the way to charge, and I also took the time to take a look at the days when I went out to travel, and now the network fees across the country are about 8-10 yuan, and the consumption level of our Beitong is low, and now the competition is also very fierce, and the minimum charge has dropped to about 5 yuan per hour." ”

"That's really ......"

The third brother nodded, "I've been investigating recently, now we have a total of 123 Internet cafes in Beitong, with an average of more than 50 computers in each Internet café, and a few large Internet cafes have more than 100 computers, but there are so many people who go online, so now the probability of many Internet cafes is less than two-thirds, these Internet café owners really use all kinds of means in order to attract customers, and the price reduction is only one of them, as well as those prohibited films and pictures, and even free mineral water and other drinks, the competition has been unprecedentedly fierce." ”

"And this is just the beginning, third brother, if you don't believe it, just wait and see, the Internet fee will continue to fall, and there will be an accident in the Internet café soon, and there will be many people boycotting the Internet café at that time, and it is not impossible for the Internet fee to be reduced to five or two yuan a piece. ”

Zhou Fangyuan smiled in his chest.

This is not his own fabrication, in fact, this is how the Internet café industry developed in the last life. He doesn't know about other cities, but here in Beitong, at the latest by the end of next year, there will be students who jump off the building to commit suicide because of the failure of the college entrance examination, and the parents put all the responsibility on the head of the Internet café, and there was also a lot of anti-Internet café wave in Beitong at that time.

During that time, it was the saddest day for the Internet café industry, and only two or three out of ten Internet cafes in the entire Beitong City were preserved, and most of the Internet cafes were closed down. Even Internet cafes that have not closed down are struggling to support, and the Internet fee has dropped from eight yuan to five yuan, then from five yuan to three yuan, and finally to two yuan, or even one yuan, and Internet access has completely become the price of cabbage.

It wasn't until the outbreak of the Blue Speed Incident that the state strengthened the management of Internet cafes and began to forcibly limit the number of Internet cafes, and Internet cafes recovered.

It wasn't until the end of 02 that the Internet café industry in Beitong City revived, and then with the advent of a series of classic online games, such as Big Talk 2, Audition, Fantasy, and Yamaguchiyama, which is known as an RPG milestone, the Internet café industry finally ushered in spring again.

However, at that time, the price of computers had begun to fall, and the cost of broadband was also decreasing, so the Internet fee could no longer reach the level of 98 and 99, ordinary Internet cafes cost three yuan an hour, and better Internet cafes cost five yuan. It wasn't until Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth that a few Internet cafes could charge more than 5 yuan and less than 10 yuan. However, before his rebirth, the Internet café at that time was no longer a simple Internet café, but an entertainment place integrating Internet access, leisure, meeting guests, communication, board games and other functions, which was regarded as the 2.0 version of the Internet café, and there was not much comparison.

After several twists and turns, Internet cafes have become a relatively healthy public environment, but that is in the future, not in the present. Today's Internet café industry is very chaotic, the government regulation is also very lax, and the Internet café war is in full swing, so this is the best option to withdraw at this time. In fact, even if there was no matter of Xu Youlong, Zhou Fangyuan was ready to persuade the third brother to withdraw at the right time.

So dealing with Xu Youlong was not because the other party was worried about the Internet café, but because the other party was a threat to Zhou Fangyuan, and he had to eradicate it.

Gossip is far away, in short, Zhou Fangyuan's judgment of the Internet café industry made the third brother and Sun Fatzi a little surprised.

"Is it really going to be so cheap? It's too much to think about five or two pieces a piece, so what's the profit?"

"It's not profitable, but it's better than being empty all day without a single customer. ”

"Then, if that's the case, what's the use of our Internet café management system......"

"No, third brother, the Internet café management system is very useful, our management system, to be precise, is not prepared for the present, we have to accumulate experience from now on, and the real force of the management system is in the future. Let me tell you, sooner or later, the state will have to vigorously control the Internet café industry, and when the time comes, the relevant departments will inevitably have to monitor the backstage of the Internet café, and at that time, the role of the Internet café management system will come. If we can become a government-designated Internet café management system, we will be able to roll out our system to the whole country.

Even if you don't wait until then, even at this time, this management system is useful. Don't forget, it's because the income of Internet cafes is declining that they are more eager to reduce their losses. With a management system, the number of network administrators can be appropriately reduced, and all mistakes and omissions can be eliminated, isn't this another form of stop loss?"

Zhou Fangyuan asked with a smile.

"Well, that makes sense, but you haven't said how much you're going to charge. ”

The third brother suddenly remembered and hurriedly asked.

"Haha, third brother, don't worry, I've thought about it, our management system will be charged according to the time on the machine. Every Internet café that installs our system, each machine is on the machine for one hour, and we charge five cents. ”

Zhou Fangyuan shook his head and said with a smile.

"Five cents? Wouldn't it be too little......

The third brother was a little disappointed when he heard this, he looked at Zhou Fangyuan and asked hesitantly.

"Five cents is a lot, third brother, let's calculate an account, take the most ordinary Internet café in our Beitong City, there are always 80 machines...... Okay, just according to 80 units, how many hours per machine is on the machine every day? The average down to 7-8 hours is always there, less than 8 hours is calculated as 8 hours, more than 7 hours is also calculated as 8 hours, a machine a day, almost can make us 4 yuan of profit, 80 machines, is 320 yuan, a month is 9600 yuan, a year is 100,000 yuan, this number, is it still low?"

Whether 80 units is an average, and whether 7-8 hours is an average, the third brother doesn't know. But that's probably what it looks like, a few machines have been on the machine for a longer time, and some people who are addicted to the Internet will surf the Internet all night, which is all money.

If an Internet café with only 80 computers can create a profit of 320 yuan a day, then look at the entire city of Beitong...... The profit may be in the thousands a day, which is even more profitable than opening their own Internet café!

The third brother's breathing suddenly became short, and Sun Fatzi was also flushed.

Zhou Fangyuan shook his head helplessly when he saw their appearance.

"But don't think too well, we can see that the Internet café management system makes money, and other people can also see it, and I believe that someone must have begun to study this management system now, so the market follow-up we are facing is very, very large, but there will still be competition." So I only have one requirement, that is, our company must always be at the forefront of all peers.

Don't be afraid to spend money, as long as you have a level of ability, no matter how expensive it is, you can recruit it. Our management system looks good right now, but there are still problems, but they are not obvious for the time being. And our system's defense capability against hackers is almost equal to zero, Brother Sun, don't feel guilty, I know you're not good at hacker defense, so I said that we still have to recruit people and expand the scale. By the way, third brother, when our system is sold to the outside world, you have to explain to the buyer that the maintenance of the system is all completed by us, and we are on call. In addition, if someone disagrees with this sales method, then we can also use the one-time sales model.

Each machine can be charged a fixed fee of 100 yuan per month, and can even be sold for a year at one time.

These little brothers have nothing to do now, they are all called, they are messing around in society all day long, delaying themselves and others, it is better for you to come forward to find a livelihood for them, do not need to incorporate these people into the company, just hire them as temporary workers, sell a system to give a commission of 300 yuan, and sell more and more. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said his thoughts one by one.

It is impossible for him to keep an eye on the Internet café all the time, even if the Internet café management system is only a small foothold on the road to success for him, not even a platform, so he is destined to not be able to invest too much energy.

The third brother also understood this, so he nodded, indicating that he had memorized everything Zhou Fangyuan said.
