Kailing Internet Cafe is on fire!

How popular is it? Within half a month of opening, it was full every day.

Except for the first few nights, there will be fewer players, and in the following days, even the night supper is full, and the chance of being on the whole day is almost 100%, basically except for one or two empty planes in the second half of the night, there are no empty machines at any other time.

Not only were there no empty machines, but even the aisles were full of people.

The number of members reached 1,000 in the third day after the opening, and continues to increase at a rate of 100 per day.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the consumption rate of mineral water and drinks in the Internet café is simply a bit high and scary, a box of mineral water will be bought out in less than five minutes, and the person who delivers to the Internet café even drives a bucket truck to deliver the goods later. There's no way, just rely on a bicycle or two legs, and you can't supply it if you break your legs.

Not only the Internet café and beverage suppliers have benefited, but even the small restaurant next door has a very good business during this time, after all, not everyone is willing to eat instant noodles and bread, these things are too much to get angry, and the urine that comes out is red. The owner of the small restaurant cleverly began to provide takeaway, and when it was time for lunch, he couldn't even take care of his own business, so he and his wife climbed up to the fourth floor with more than 200 boxed lunches, and then sold all these boxed lunches in ten minutes.

Let's put it this way, the income of this meal at noon is higher than the income of the previous day. What's more, in addition to lunch, there is also dinner, and after dinner, there is also supper.

The owner of the restaurant is also a good person, and when they see that the Internet café has brought them so much business, they say that they can't charge for the food of the Internet café. To the network administrator and cashier, they sent more food than others, not to mention, and they didn't need money, all for nothing.

Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan really misestimated the market, he originally believed that Internet cafes would be popular, but he didn't believe that Internet cafes would be popular to this extent.

In his opinion, their Internet café has no Internet, and the games are all very old games, both in terms of graphics and gameplay, there is a certain gap between them and the games of later generations. What's more, now it's not a holiday or a holiday, adults have to go to work, children have to go to school, even if the Internet café business is very good and can make money, but there is a limit, it can't be too exaggerated.

But what about the facts: the number of idlers is clearly greater than he imagined.

People who have never been exposed to computer games, how many of them can not be addicted to computer games for the first time? The difference is only in the length of time they have been addicted, even Zhou Fangyuan's uncle was already nearly 60 years old before he was reborn, and he is not addicted to online games and cannot extricate himself?

Of course, examples like Zhou Fangyuan's uncle are rare, but this undoubtedly shows that online games are very attractive to people, which Zhou Fangyuan himself can even use as an example.

And he feels that the current game is weak, because he has seen the more powerful games of later generations, and what about those who have not? For them, what is the difference between the current game and the games of later generations?

For half a month, basically every night, the third brother would come to his house and tell him the income of the day.

According to statistics, there are a total of 2,000 members in Internet cafes in the past half month, most of whom are 100 yuan, a small number are 200 or even 300 yuan, and only a very few are less than 100 yuan. In other words, just for membership fees, they earned back more than 200,000 yuan in half a month. Not to mention those that are temporarily started, plus the income from various mineral water and beverages, there are 300,000 in half a month!

300,000 ......

Hearing this number, Zhou Fangyuan's whole person was a little numb.

It's not that he is numb because he is used to such numbers, but he is really numb, his scalp is numb, his hands and feet are numb, and he feels that his brain seems to be a little under-oxygenated, and the speed of his heartbeat is also a little exaggerated...... In short, this result was completely unexpected, and he even wondered, should we continue to expand and reopen more branches?

But the thought spun in his head and he suppressed it.

It's not necessary, and it's not secure.

In the past half a month, at least a dozen large-scale Internet cafes have appeared on the ground in Beitong City, but in the vicinity of their Internet café, about 200 meters away, there is an Internet café of no small scale opened. The area is similar to that of Zhou Fangyuan's Internet café, but the number of computers is slightly less, of course, there are some gaps between the two sides in terms of interior decoration and computer configuration.

The most important thing is that other Internet cafes do not have as convenient software as Kailing Internet Cafe, they are still completely relying on manual service, so it will inevitably cause some errors in timing, and there are often cases where a certain machine is obviously up to time, but the boss did not urge the other party to get off the machine in time for one reason or another, and as a result, people played for half an hour or even an hour in vain.

An hour is a few dollars, one or two may not matter, but once this situation is a little more, the loss is not small.

What's more, people have a herd mentality, and where there are many people, the more willing others are to gather there. And in terms of service quality, other Internet cafes are indeed not as good as Kailing Internet Cafes. During this period of time, the number of network administrators has expanded to the scale of ten people, two shifts, one shift of five people, to ensure that they are on call. Unlike other Internet cafes, they often shout and can't see anyone for several minutes.

And the quality of the network management is also a problem, simple small problems can help you deal with it, and as soon as there is a problem to let you restart the computer, which is better or worse is already obvious.

Together with the network management, the number of cashiers has also expanded from two to four, also in two shifts.

Of course, the result of expanding the staff is more expensive, and this is understandable.

In short, the Kailing Internet café fire, as the first large-scale Internet café in Beitong, seems to be a model for Beitong City to start modernization, and even the local TV station came to conduct interviews. Facing the camera, the third brother's performance was simply ridiculous, but Zhou Fangyuan didn't laugh at him, because if it were Zhou Fangyuan himself, he might not even be as good as the third brother's performance.

In front of the camera, there are still many problems with Kailing Internet Cafe, but there are also advantages that other Internet cafes do not have.

In addition to the above, the biggest difference is the air quality and fire protection measures.

Six floor-standing air conditioners are running at full power, and although it is impossible to blow away all the odors of the Internet café, the environment of Kailing Internet Café is good enough compared to other steamer-like Internet cafes. The temperature is not too high, the air quality is reasonable, compared with the two, other Internet cafes suddenly became a pigsty, and Kailing Internet Cafe, well, is slightly better than a pigsty.

Then there are the fire measures, when the neat fire extinguisher appears in the camera, it invisibly gives the Internet crowd a great sense of security. What are the most feared in crowded places? One is afraid of crowding and stampede, and the other is afraid of fires, and the more crowded places are, the more this is the case, and once there is a fire, people are crowded again, and it is very likely to cause huge losses.

The fire extinguisher placed on the wall of Kailing Internet Café can prevent the emergence and spread of fire to a large extent, and protect life and property better than other Internet cafes.

These two points were first put forward by Zhou Fangyuan, such a foreseeable move, and as a result, his reputation in the Internet café rose rapidly. Not to mention the third brother who had "surrendered" a long time ago, the landlord also became respectful of Zhou Fangyuan, and those network administrators and cashiers looked at Zhou Fangyuan directly with adoring eyes, so that he didn't dare to go to the Internet café later.

In short, his own excellent quality, the most suitable time to enter, coupled with a wave of assistance from the TV station, even if the report was only about ten seconds, he still pushed Kailing Internet Cafe hard. Such an opportunity is hard to come by, and even Zhou Fangyuan can't even imagine it. If it is put in the future, let alone more than ten years later, even a few years later, it is absolutely impossible for a mere Internet café to be on TV. But now Kailing Internet Cafe has done it, without finding anyone or trusting it, because of the hot business generated by its own word of mouth, the TV station deigned to interview once.

This is terrible, not to mention young people, it is a lot of middle-aged people, who will come up and take a look when they pass by.

Of course, these people left at a glance, after all, the environment here is still not suitable for middle-aged people, but there is no doubt that even middle-aged people can be attracted to it, which is enough to explain the problem.

As a result, there was a grand scene of "300,000 in less than half a month", and this situation is still continuing, the number of members is still increasing, Zhou Fangyuan even wondered, did he have a fake 98 years in his last life? He didn't think that in the last life of 98 years, Beitong people would be so rich. It's just a member of an Internet café, and one hundred and two hundred of them are thrown in. Isn't the salary less than 200? With a month's salary to rush members, are these people crazy?

Well, he still doesn't know much about Kita.

Beitong, as an old resource base, although it is now in decline, does not mean that the city has no wealth. And seriously, the common people in China are used to saving money, and they usually don't have much consumption and entertainment, so they all save their salaries. Nowadays, almost none of the factories in Beitong are bankrupt, and the people still have iron rice bowls, so they don't have too many worries about spending money.

Unlike later generations, when everything had to be relied on by oneself and even pension had to be relied on insurance, ordinary people would become more careful when they spent money.

All in all, Kailing Internet Cafe has really made money, and its fame is so great that Zhou Fangyuan can hear the discussion among his classmates at school.

It has been half a month since the start of school, and there is a distinction between top students and poor students, of course, top students are more focused on studying, and poor students are undoubtedly more interested in playing. As a result, as far as Zhou Fangyuan knew, there were four or five students in their class who had become members in Kailin Internet Cafe, but they didn't have the money to rush to 100 at once, and most of them only charged 10 yuan or 20 yuan, but no matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were still meat.

The only thing that made Zhou Fangyuan a little crying and laughing was that the fact of opening an Internet café by himself was tantamount to catalyzing the Internet addiction of his classmates by changing direction? But after thinking about it again, even if he didn't open an Internet café, others would open it, and anyone with Internet addiction would have it, and anyone who could control himself could control it. So he didn't think about it anymore, but put all his mind on studying.
