Chapter Ninety-Three: The Legendary Internet Cafe Chain
Haijin Weijin Road, one of the main roads in the city. Between Liulitai and Balitai on Weijin Road are the pride of the city, Haijin University and Nankai University.
The predecessor of Haijin University was established by Li Hongzhang in 1895 as the Beiyang Naval Academy.
And Nankai University is the alma mater of the great founding officer and Zhou Weiren.
The two schools have a combined student population of nearly 100,000 students, and Haijin Normal University under the Balitai Bridge is also a comprehensive university of considerable size. The huge number of student resources has brought a rolling flow of customers to the surrounding businesses.
Across the road from the two schools, there is an office building with more than 20 floors, and the ground floor and the second floor are a café.
Just ten days ago, the first and second floors of the café were all covered by curtains, and construction workers kept coming and going, and all kinds of building materials and furniture were coming and going. Since then, the students who have passed by have been constantly speculating, I don't know what it will be used for such a big bottom quotient?
Since it is an office building, there is no need to consider the impact on residents at night, Zhang Shun guides the decoration company to work day and night.
In October 1998, less than a month before and after the construction, the students suddenly found that the bottom merchants here finally showed the true face of Lushan.
On the huge, dark blue electronic billboard, the first is a coffee cup that is constantly changing color, and the smoke formed by the water vapor in the mouth of the cup is constantly rising.
A few big words in the back: legendary Internet café chain, there is also a number at the end of the billboard: NO.0001.
In this way, the legendary Internet café that will rule the domestic bull's ear in the future was born in such a way.
From the window, through the dim brown glass, you can see that the spacious hall is densely packed with computers. The neon sign at the entrance flashed a few big words: Legendary Internet Cafe, opening reward, one yuan per hour, limited to four hours per person.
The students were boiling instantly, this price is too fragrant, is there any.
At present, the Internet cafes around the school are generally more than 10 yuan an hour, and the speed of the computer is still as slow as an old cow.
Seeing that the computers are all brand new, I just don't know how fast the internet is.
I don't want to, at this price, try it first.
The students passing by, with the attitude of trying something new, entered the Internet café.
The décor of the internet café is exquisite and minimalist.
There are 10 computers in a row in the general Internet area. 15-inch monitor with 10 rows. It seems a little dense
There are 4 computers in a row in the leisure area, 17-inch monitors, and a total of 8 monitors, which seems to be much looser.
The e-sports area is more chic, surrounded by circles, with 12 computers in each circle.
As for the couple's private rooms, they are densely distributed around the hall and separated by small partitions.
Although there are a lot of people, it doesn't make people feel stuffy, probably because of the rotating ventilation fans around!
At the ceiling, the dense ducts are exposed, connected to the air conditioning vents, and the cool air makes people feel clear.
Cameras are densely populated in all corners of the roof, and the constant flashing red light reminds people who have some strange ideas to think twice.
More than a dozen staff members have been ready for a long time, and at the bar counter of the Internet café, they guide everyone to line up and hand out a leaflet to everyone with the Internet café Internet access requirements:
1. Minors must be accompanied by a guardian before they can access the Internet;
2. Internet users must take the initiative to present their ID cards;
3. The first floor of the Internet café is a non-smoking area, and the second floor is a smoking area. The price of internet access in non-smoking areas is 80% of that in smoking areas.
4. The time limit for one time to surf the Internet is four hours, and after two hours, you must take a break. The total time spent online should not exceed eight hours per day.
5. Recharge 1,000 yuan and get 1,000 yuan, and get 50 yuan for temporary card charge 100 yuan.
6. The price of Internet access is divided into 8 yuan, 10 yuan, 15 yuan and 40 yuan according to different areas and different computer configurations (double area for couples).
Seeing the requirements on the leaflet, some students who did not bring their ID cards immediately left the queue and quickly ran back to the dormitory to get their ID cards.
The students who completed the formalities rushed directly to the most expensive couple's single room area, and the opening reward has such a cheap price, which is really suitable for enjoying the best facilities at this price.
Turn on the computer switch on the desktop, pull out the keyboard tray from under the desktop, and the new keyboard and mouse are the most expensive Logitech brands on the market today. The monitor is philips and it's so comfortable.
Students who know how to use computers have noticed that the boot screen flashes and shows Pentium II, the latest and fastest CPU AT PRESENT, ATI RAGE 128 graphics card, 512M memory, at present, this is also the highest memory that can be configured on the market.
The latest Windows 98 screen flashed by, and this speed is really different from the computers in the school computer room.
The login screen is displayed, asking for a full ID number. When it is done, the windows interface of the blue sky and white clouds is displayed.
The desktop is very simple, with only five shortcuts: the game area, the office area, the Internet chat area, the billing function area, and the last one is to call the network manager.
Excitedly click on the game area, there are all kinds of games inside, as well as special modification software for micro hard games.
Click on StarCraft, LAN options, create a server, choose your own race, and soon, other players quickly joined, and with the end of the count of 5,4,3,2,1, a big war broke out in an instant.
Zhang Yi accompanied Jingjing, Luo Bingyun, and Ruolan, who came over, looking at all this, full of pride.
Jingjing and Luo Bingyun were not surprised that Zhang Yi was able to open such a giant Internet café in a very short period of time.
Ruolan, on the other hand, looked at the long queue of college students waiting for the formalities, speechless.
She really has no idea how much it costs to open such a big Internet café.
When a woman has curiosity, she can't hold back. It's not good to ask Zhang Yi directly, pull Luo Bingyun aside, and ask quietly: "How much does this Internet café cost?
Zhang Yi, whose physical fitness is getting better and better, is not generally good at hearing. looked directly at Ruolan and said, "It's not much, it takes about three million!"
Hearing the number of three million, Ruolan opened her mouth wide, and 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping past in her heart.
A young man who has just entered his freshman year and has not yet graduated is so rich, how can he let others live!
At this time, Jingjing suddenly grabbed a panting college student, and Zhang Yi was a little surprised by Jingjing's actions.
However, judging from the physiognomy, this young man and Jingjing are a little similar.
The young man looked back and said in surprise: "Sister, why are you here, are you here to surf the Internet?"
"Don't ask me yet, let me ask you, don't you have a class today?
"We didn't have classes in the afternoon, and I heard from my classmates that the Internet access here is very cheap and the computer configuration is very high, so I came to take a look, I didn't expect the environment here to be so good, it's amazing!" said the young man, dancing.
