Chapter 113: Modifying the Crane Machine

I have to say that Yu Weiwen's analysis is very reasonable, from the feasibility of non-staple food income generation to the disadvantages of geographical location, he really did a specific analysis of specific problems.

However, Yao Yi and Li Ming's thinking is completely different from his, because Li Ming knows that as long as he can turn the dynamic world into a profit, no matter how much he profits, he can attract the investment he needs.

The source of this confidence is Li Ming's identity and social circle.

People from well-off families are more likely to succeed not only because they can afford to lose and dare to fight, but also because they have resources that others do not have.

For example, before, Yao Yi planned to open an experimental class, although the resources provided by Shang Yang were very leisurely, but with the help of Li Ming, Yang Chengzhi and others, not only the start-up funds were quickly in place, but also the information of many poor students was obtained through public welfare organizations, saving a lot of trouble.

In the same way, after Li Ming took over the management of Dynamic World, not only Yao Yi would lend a hand, but others in Li Ming's circle of friends would also help as much as possible.

As long as Li Ming can prove that there is still a chance to revitalize the dynamic world, and his friends help match him, it is not difficult to attract investment. Maybe you happen to have a friend who is interested in arcades and video games, and plans to take out a pocket money to test the water, and through the introduction of people to have a meal, it is likely that you will get the funds to buy a new machine and renovate it in a room of cups.

And Yu Weiwen did not have this advantage, so he would naturally start from a more practical point of view.

The idea of setting up an advertising space in an arcade may sound outrageous at first, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem unrealistic.

The question is, how to attract investment in advertising space?

"There are two or three advertising spaces at most in the entrance and corridor, who will buy advertising space in the arcade?" asked Yao Yi.

Yu Weiwen's eyes rolled around, and he had an idea: "There must be no one who takes the initiative to come to the door, people don't know that advertisements can be placed here, right? But your friend can go to Mao Sui to recommend himself, first try the ramen restaurant and the Internet café downstairs, the ramen restaurant is estimated to be no play, but the Internet café is not necessarily, I will help the Internet café hang up a sign, the Internet café recharge activities, computer configuration or something, maybe many people come to play the arcade for a while and then go to the Internet café to play computer games? This advertisement hangs one, it costs 1,800 yuan, it's not too much, right?"

"Well, open an Internet café next to it, diversion is inevitable, it's better to take the initiative, and you can also talk about cooperation with the owner of the Internet café, such as recharging the membership card in the Internet café and sending arcade tokens, and buying tokens and sending network fees in the arcade hall. ”

Yao Yi began to seriously think about the feasibility of setting up advertising space, and Yu Weiwen added: "You can also find some distributors of small beverage companies and non-staple food companies, and exchange a few hundred yuan a month for an advertising space that hundreds of people see every day, which is very cost-effective, uh, of course, you have to convince the other party first, this is a bit difficult." Tsk, seriously, I want to put up a poster here to help you enroll, but the advertisement for the English cram school is posted in the arcade hall, how strange it looks, haha. ”

Yao Yi blinked, and was about to say that he might as well give it a try, but unexpectedly heard Fan Li speak again.

"I also came up with an idea, yes, the nursing home where Grandma Liu Jue used to live, when there are vacant beds, they will give the vacant beds to some young people living on the streets, without charging money, but they have to be volunteers for two hours a day, helping the nurses when they are busy, and chatting with the elderly when they are not busy. Fan Li paused and asked, "There are a lot of people in the Internet café who sleep on chairs at night, right?"

"Oh, yes! The arcade hall is very few people in the early hours of the morning, such a large space, you can put a few folding beds for them to sleep, but if you want them to help with cleaning, you can also give them some tokens to play arcade in the arcade hall to pass the time, and it can also make the place more lively. Moreover, the owner of the Internet café would like to send out these people who can't afford to pay to get on the plane and sleep in the Internet café and affect the environment, eh, what a good idea!"

Yu Weiwen clapped his hands and praised, excited, as if he was the owner of the arcade.

This is really a good idea, better than Yu Weiwen's proposal, because the feasibility is high, although most of the people who fall into sleeping in Internet cafes are lazy and decadent, but there are always exceptions to everything, to put it mildly, this method can solve the sanitation problem at a very low cost, so that Li Ming can avoid the fatigue and distress of sweeping the floor and washing the toilet, and at the very least, it is difficult to recruit a group of available part-time clerks, or even save them from their desperate lives.

To be honest, the ideas that Yu Weiwen and Fan Li came up with exceeded Yao Yi's expectations.

The revenue channels that Yao Yi formulated for Li Ming before are mainly divided into two types, one is beverages, and the other is crane machines.

If you want to make the dynamic world live to the day of investment, you must at least earn rent, water and electricity, and property fees.

The crane machine is a gold-absorbing artifact in the video game city, but it can't make money in the arcade hall, why? Because Boss Wen didn't analyze the specific problems like Yu Weiwen.

Who are the main consumers of crane machines? are girls and couples.

In order to clip out a cute doll, in order to win a smile from their sweetheart, they can throw hundreds of dollars or more worth of coins without blinking, even if they know that the doll in the crane machine will not sell for more than fifty in the mall - to ask why, maybe because in their opinion, the doll that they bought instead of clipped, has no soul.

So the question is, will the main consumer group of crane machines appear in the old-fashioned arcade halls?

The answer is obvious.

So, it's not that the crane machine can't make money, it's that the crane machine with the doll can't make money in the arcade hall.

So how can you make the doll machine in the arcade make money? It's very simple, replace the doll in the arcade machine with something that the main customer group of the arcade will be interested in, such as cigarettes.

Now, in the row of crane machines by the wall, there is only one palm-sized ragdoll doll, and the other crane machines are filled with drinks, cigarettes and lucky bags, most of the drinks are canned sodas, and there are many types of cigarettes, from four and five packs of Zhongnan * Hai to twelve pieces of hard red plums to hard and soft Chinese that make people hot. As for the lucky bags stuffed with cotton, most of them contained tokens, and a small number of lucky bags contained 20, 50 and 100 yuan in cash, respectively.

Yao Yi observed when he walked up to the second floor, and it was no surprise that this row of crane machines had become the most popular machine, even if he knew that the money used to exchange tokens could buy more than one pack of cigarettes, there would still be people who kept throwing coins into the crane machine, because the crane machine with cigarettes and lucky bags was really interesting, and because they felt that they might be caught in China, or in a lucky bag with RMB.
