Chapter 16: It's Open!

Luo Long's words made Guo Yuanhang's heart move, Guo Yuanhang really didn't know much about the Internet, after all, he didn't do this before. In Guo Yuanhang's impression. The current network, isn't it just a 56K cat, and then the host dials up, makes a beeping sound, and then connects to the network?

However, since Luo Long brought it up. Guo Yuanhang felt that he still knew a little more, after all, Luo Long specializes in computers and has a close connection with the Internet, maybe he will have a way.

Thinking of this, Guo Yuanhang smiled and said, "Does Mr. Luo have any good suggestions?"

Luo Long immediately said: "Mr. Guo, I won't tell you." Nowadays, there are two ways to access the Internet, one is dial-up Internet access, the rate is about 56K, and the other is ADSL broadband. This speed can reach 1M. ”

"Is there anything like this?" Guo Yuanhang said in surprise. He was really shocked. I always thought that there was only dial-up Internet access.

Luo Long didn't think it was funny. After all, Guo Yuanhang is a layman, and it is normal to not understand. Then he explained: "Yes, as early as March, Donghai began to trial run ADSL dial-up Internet access. It's fast, stable, and cheap. Our Donghe also officially started operation on the National Day. What is doing well today is telecommunications. Unicom can do it too. The speed of the connection is a little worse, after all, the network is not mature. ”

Luo Long paused: "You have such a big Internet café and so many machines. If you use dial-up Internet access, I estimate that it may not be possible to pull 20 dedicated lines. ADSL is the best option. For the entire Internet café, I estimate that there are five special lines. Do a few more switch systems in the middle. The internal LAN of the Internet café. There should be no problem. ”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Luo. Sure enough, it's still a professional person doing professional things. Then please ask Mr. Luo to introduce it to me. If we can, we'll meet tomorrow. Guo Yuanhang praised it. also bluntly admitted that he didn't understand.

……

The advice of the network refers to Luo Long's suggestion. However, in terms of bandwidth, Guo Yuanhang listened to the advice of more professionals. Signed a special agreement directly with Telecom. The speed of Internet access is guaranteed, and two dedicated lines are also reduced. According to the distribution of 150 non-smoking areas and 350 smoking areas, two special lines are responsible for smoking areas and one special line is responsible for non-smoking areas. Of course, the cost is not cheap, and the initial installation fee alone costs 30,000 yuan. In the future, it will cost more than 2,000 yuan a month.

A week, in fact, is less than a week. All computers are in place. Today's Tengda Net Garden is no longer empty.

In the 1,500-square-meter hall, an irregularly shaped area is built with bricks, and the entrance area is opened. The air circulation is best here. It is a non-smoking area. One hundred and fifty computers, divided into small areas. There are many red, pink, and sky blue patterns and balloons. It has a cute, homely feel.

Behind the non-smoking area is a smoking area with 300 computers. There is no atmosphere in this area. Horizontal and vertical, as if the army was arrayed.

To the left of these two areas, there is a row of sofa-style booths. There are four-person booths facing each other, and there are two-seater couple booths, which are separated by a partition about two meters high. It's both private and communal.

October 28 is not a special day. It's not even a weekend, but for Tengda Net, it is a day worth remembering for Guo Yuanhang. Because just today, Tengda Net Garden is about to open.

There are already a lot of opening flower baskets at the door. There are those sent by Luo Long, and there are also those hardware brands that Luo Long represents, as well as those sent by Donghe Telecom.

Early in the morning, Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Fei skipped class. In addition to them, there are also Internet café technicians Xiao Ou and Feibao, which are nicknames, both of whom are actually technicians of Luolong's company. Under Luo Long's strong request, for the benefit of Tengda's customer, there will be no loss. Guo Yuanhang reluctantly accepted these two employees who didn't want money.

In addition to them, there are also six part-time network administrators recruited by Guo Yuanhang from Chu University and Nanjing University. All six of them are students in the university's computer science department. The technology is excellent, and these six people will be divided into two groups on duty in the future. The salary is also cheap, 600 people per month.

Roll-up banners and banners hang at the entrance of the Internet café. Opening a big reward, recharge the card special, and then the following is the specific plan. Top up 100 get 20, top up 200 get 50. The highest is to recharge 1,000 and get 500 free! In addition to this roll-up banner, there is also a free promotional roll-up banner for girls who have been open for three days.

Looking at all this, Guo Yuanhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zhou Yong is Zhou Yong. This kid's talent in marketing is really amazing. This pattern may not be uncommon in a few years. But for now, it's definitely an innovation.

There was no opening ceremony, and there was no celebration. It's very simple. 8:18 a.m. With all the computers booting up. Zhou Yong and Wei Mingzhe took out a wall of firecrackers. The sound of crackling firecrackers was accompanied by the smoke and flames rising into the air. Tengda Net Garden opened.

Today, the dignified financial director will take on the responsibility of cashier and start-up together with Jiang Fei.

"Holy. Is this an Internet café? I didn't know what it was doing before. ”

"This Internet café is too big. How many computers do you need?"

"Come, come, call the brothers. This interstellar time, I'm going to let you know who's the best. ”

"It's a pity, the Red Police can only connect to eight people at most, if there are twenty people, it won't be cool to death. ”

"It's good for this computer. Tsk, all 17-inch flat screen monitors. ”

"Wow! girls are free. There is also a dedicated non-smoking area. I'm going to go online. Peaches, you help me ask for leave, just say that my aunt is here, and my stomach hurts!"

Voices like this can be heard outside the net garden or in the hall. Guo Yuanhang is the most relaxed, and Zhou Yong is responsible for handling membership and recharge at the bar.

watched Zhou Yong fill out forms, record records, and handwrite, and watched Jiang Fei sweat busily. Guo Yuanhang sighed in his heart, this kind of efficiency is too slow. No wonder there were no big Internet cafes at this time. It's not that others don't have money, it's that the equipment is not in place. In the absence of Internet café management software, the network management of each computer needs to be in place in person, and it cannot be controlled remotely, which is too time-consuming.

Next, it's time to hire some programmers to make the Internet café management system.

When it opened at eight o'clock, there were only a few dozen people surfing the Internet in the Internet café. By nine o'clock, as the strength of the discount spread. First of all, the free non-smoking area was filled with girls. Even the smoking area has a lot of girls. And the boys who heard the wind also came.

By ten o'clock in the morning. Not a single one of the five hundred machines was empty. It was all full. Among them, the couple booth is the most popular.

The bar is crowded with many students who have applied for membership cards, and even many young people in the society.

At twelve o'clock, as the crowd gradually dispersed. The net garden was immediately a lot more relaxed. But there were still a lot of people sitting and chatting outside. There are drinks and snacks on the table.

Get off the machine and get on the machine, the network administrators must be tired today. Guo Yuanhang has already decided to give them a few red envelopes.

As soon as he returned to the bar, Zhou Yong's face was full of joy, looking at Guo Yuanhang, he said with some excitement: "Old Guo, it's exploded, it's exploded! Do you know how much money you received this morning?"

Guo Yuanhang glanced at it, and the five hundred computers were not idle at any time. At 8:18 a.m., it's four hours now. Five yuan an hour, a computer can have twenty yuan. There are about 200 girls who use the Internet for free. That's six thousand. Plus recharge cards, cigarettes, drinks, snacks, etc. Guo Yuanhang touched it and stretched out a finger one by one: "Fifteen thousand?"

"your fifteen thousand. Haha, a full 36,000 yuan! The recharge alone is 27,600 yuan. Got rich. If it goes on like this, it will earn millions a month. Zhou Yong said excitedly, and he almost spittle.

These words made Guo Yuanhang smile: "Yongzi, you are so wrong. These top-ups have not been consumed. And the income after three days has reference value. Now we are receiving the money for the future. A million a month is definitely not available. However, I think there should be five or six hundred thousand a month. ”

The voice fell, but Wei Mingzhe next to him interjected: "Brother Hang, your algorithm is wrong." A computer is 75 yuan for 15 hours a day, and 15 yuan for a night in the evening, which is 90 yuan. 500 computers have 45,000 dollars a day. Plus income from beverages, cigarettes, betel nuts and snacks. Not to mention too much in a day, there is a profit of five hundred. We give a 7% discount on the chance. A million a month is absolutely no problem. ”

Wei Mingzhe is this character. When it comes to numbers and finances, this kid is definitely a serious guy who fights for reason.

Guo Yuanhang was stunned at this moment. He forgot one thing, he charges too much here. $5 an hour. That's more expensive. If it was 97 years, it would cost five yuan to play a game in the computer room, and ten yuan would start for those who could access the Internet. Last year, the minimum amount of Internet access in Internet cafes was 6 yuan. Now it has come down. The computer is a little worse than two dollars, and a better one is three dollars. With this kind of environment and configuration here, Wuyuan is not worried that no one will come. It's just that this kind of price is not expected to last long, and at most next year, I am afraid it will have to be lowered to three yuan.

Zhou Yong was also a little excited at the moment, he was still worried about the payment before, but now it seems that it is only two or three months. However, Zhou Yong still spoke: "Lao Guo, ...... in a month"

He stopped, because Xiao Ou, the free employee arranged by Luo Long, came over. This wants Luo Long to know that the payment has not yet been settled, so why don't you come over and move the computer immediately.

Guo Yuanhang nodded knowingly and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the bank tomorrow." Specifically run this thing. We have the venue, we have so much equipment. Nothing else matters. ”

As he was talking, Guo Yuanhang's phone rang. It is a local number of Donghe City. As soon as it was connected, a voice came from the other end of the phone, which immediately made Guo Yuanhang's expression change.
