Chapter 112: Brainstorming
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, after the end of the experimental class and the word shorthand class, Yao Yi took the taxi that Yu Weiwen had booked at the North China Taxi Company and rushed to the dynamic world.
Although it hit the evening rush hour, the old driver was experienced and avoided the most problem-prone sections, and it only took 40 minutes to send Yao Yi and Yu Weiwen to the door of the dynamic world.
At this time, the stairwell of the dynamic world seems a little narrow, because there are constantly people coming in and out, so many people going upstairs and downstairs, and the most conspicuous thing is Fan Li, who stands between the noodle shop and the dynamic world against the wall.
Shangjing is a notoriously furnace city, but by the end of September the outdoor temperature had dropped significantly, and most people wore long sleeves, and even those who were weak and cold wore their coats, while Fan Li still wore his white vest. Wearing a vest in this weather is eye-catching enough, not to mention Fan Li and the hideous tattoos all over the upper body.
As soon as Yu Weiwen got out of the car, he saw such a strong man walking towards him with a fierce momentum, and he was really startled, and subconsciously raised his arm slightly to block Yao Yi behind him.
"Brother Fan, how long have you waited?" Yao Yi stepped forward, said hello to Fan Li, and then nodded at Yu Weiwen, "Don't be nervous, it's my friend, let's share a suite." ”
In order to support Li Ming, Yao Yi pulled people around, not only asked Yu Weiwen to help go to Southern Union University to do publicity, but also mobilized his friends as much as possible.
However, the family members are not interested in the arcade, Lao Wei is old, other colleagues do not have a deep friendship, Mi Meng Liu Jue wants to stay in the bookstore, so he can only pull Fan Li, a strong man.
Because Liu Jue moved to Xiangshan Mingyuan to live with Fan Li, he thought that he owed Yao Yi a lot of favors, so it was impossible for him not to help with his errands.
However, it can be seen that Fan Li is not interested in arcade machines, otherwise he would not stand outside the door and wait.
"Brother Fan, the highest temperature today is 14 degrees, and you only wear a vest?" Yao Yi said half-jokingly, "This large piece of tattoos is exposed, I don't know if you are cold or not, but the coldness is certain." ”
"It's not cold, don't worry, I won't scare people, this is an arcade, not a children's amusement park. ”
Maybe it's because I've been in a good mood recently, or maybe I'm getting acquainted with Yao Yi, Fan Li's words have become more, and he has a very obvious personal style of cold humor.
Yao Yi thinks about it, the arcade hall has always had a group of stable customers who look like ruffians, and Fan Li's tattoos are at most so that others dare not approach, and there will be no more impact.
After Yao Yi gave a brief introduction to Fan Li and Yu Weiwen, the three of them went upstairs together.
Seeing that Li Ming was very busy, Yao Yi didn't want to make trouble for him, so he wandered around by himself.
The area on the second floor of the dynamic world is not too big, and after walking back and forth, Yao Yi found many familiar faces, such as Yang Chengzhi and his little Hu Bin, such as the escort scout who pulled out beer bottles in the barbecue stall that night.
It seems that Yang Chengzhi and Hu Bin are talking about things, as for those junior high school students, Yao Yi didn't want to spoil people's interest, so he didn't go over to say hello, he had nothing to do for a long time, and there were no tokens in his hand, Yao Yi simply stood behind a machine as a cloud player and appreciated the wonderful operations of others.
Yao Yi stood and watched for a while, and Yu Weiwen diligently moved a chair over, and a plate of fried melon seeds was placed on the chair.
"I think as long as it's a human machine, there are free melon seeds and peanuts. Yu Weiwen muttered while sipping melon seeds, "There are a lot of plates on the bar, and no one cares about it, isn't it a loss to give it away?"
Yao Yi shook his head: "How can you lose, wholesale melon seeds are not worth much, besides, how much can you eat while playing arcade? There are always a few shameless people, but anyone who wants face is embarrassed to sit here and eat half a pound of free melon seeds." Also, didn't you notice that there is no convenience store and kiosk downstairs?"
"Oh, oh, you make money selling drinks, no wonder the mineral water and drinks sold at the bar are a dollar more expensive. ”
Suddenly, new questions emerged.
"You will be thirsty when you eat melon seeds, and you will be thirsty when you are excited to play arcade machines, but it is difficult to make money just by selling drinks, right? Besides, it is difficult to keep the environment clean and tidy when you send melon seeds and peanuts. ”
"Well, it's a lot of trouble, but as long as it can leave a good impression on customers, it's worth the effort, after all, Dynamic World is selling feelings, not games. As for recovering the cost and making money, in addition to beverages, there are other revenue channels. It's just that you're going to develop in sales, so why don't we brainstorm and think about how else can we generate revenue in Dynamic World?"
Anyway, being idle is also idle, seeing that Comrade Xiaoyu is so well-behaved and sensible, Yao Yi is willing to say a few more words to him to pass the time.
"This ......"
Yu Weiwen put down the melon seeds and thought about it for a long time, without the slightest clue, but followed Fan Li, who was beside Yao Yi and lived like a wooden man, and opened his mouth first: "You can also sell instant noodles, duck necks, and duck wings." ”
Such a down-to-earth idea was something Yao Yi didn't expect, but the idea was still limited to the non-staple food that flowed for a long time.
"No, I don't think so. Arcade halls are different from Internet cafes, and if you want to sell instant noodle snacks in the arcade hall, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it. Yu Weiwen shook his head and said different opinions, "This is different from the Internet café, sitting in the Internet café and playing the computer, in addition to playing games, you can also watch videos and visit forums, your hands can leave the keyboard and mouse for a long time, it is very comfortable to eat some snacks when you are tired of playing, the arcade machine is different, if you are really hungry and tired, more people will choose to go out to eat." Eh, how about advertising?"
"Advertisement?" Yao Yi turned his head to look at Yu Weiwen, full of interest.
"The last time you came here, didn't you say that the only way to live in Dynamic World is to sell feelings, increase customer flow and then attract investment, and then replace the machine and slowly transform? So now the most important thing for Dynamic World is not to make money, but to stabilize the flow of guests under the premise of continuous operation, right? ”
"Although I don't understand this, I don't think it will be so easy to attract investment, after all, the location of the dynamic world is not very good, those video game cities are either next to the theater, or in the mall, on the location of the dynamic world, who dares to invest money?"
"So, even if it's to attract investment, you should try to put some advertising space, the entrance and the staircase belong to the dynamic world, not the Internet café and ramen restaurant next to it, right?
