Chapter 16: Simple and crude Hengchuang network management

"Xiao Heng, listen to your father, you did well in the exam this time, is it true?"

"Come on, come on, eat fish, and your favorite beef!"

The second uncle's family, thanks to Gu's father's status in his generation, the second uncle and the aunt are very enthusiastic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The second uncle is a relatively boring person, he doesn't talk much, he has a bit of a hunched back after a long time of loading and unloading, he is not yet fifty years old, and he already has a lot of gray hair on his temples. The second aunt is a well-spoken person, and she is very good at running a family, so she is talking to Gu Heng most of the time at the dinner table.

The second uncle's family has a total of three children, the eldest Gu Qiang often runs transportation in other places, and is not at home, and his daughter-in-law works in a clothing store and does not get off work until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and she is not there. The second child, Gu Xiaoli, is a daughter and is married. Gu Shan, the third child who was born on the same day and month as Gu Heng and has the best relationship, went to be a compulsory soldier two years ago, and he still has more than half a year to change jobs and go home.

In addition to the second uncle, the second aunt and Gu Heng at the dinner table, there were only Gu Qiang's two children left.

For Gu Heng, the only high-achieving student in the entire family who is about to go to the big city, the second aunt is enthusiastic and a little flattering when she speaks, Gu Heng, as an adult, has not been affected by this, in the final analysis, a sentence of human nature can be summed up.

Looking at the two obviously timid children at the dinner table, Gu Heng suddenly felt a little inexplicably sad, this is a little inferiority complex of people who have been at the bottom of society all year round, not born, but acquired.

He felt that if he developed in the future, he would also appropriately pull in his relatives and friends around him. This is born from the same root, and those who can carry it should not be too stingy.

The second uncle's family rented a small house, only three bedrooms in total, the second uncle and his wife lived in one with a child, Gu Qiang's daughter-in-law lived in one with another one, and the rest was a small house of less than ten square meters, which was left behind in the corner of the corridor.

Knowing that Gu Heng was coming, the second aunt had already cleaned up this small hut, it was cleaned very clean, and the sundries were placed neatly, but the environment was too cramped, and she always felt a little depressed.

Gu Heng didn't stay in this accommodation, not because he was disgusted, but because there were still two computers in the rental room near the school, and there were many people there, so he was a little uneasy.

"Erniang, there is a party in our class tonight, I will go over later, if it is too late, I will sleep there, my father's rented house will not expire for more than twenty days." By the way, this is the mobile phone I borrowed from my classmates when I first came, I left the number for you, if you don't come to stay, I will call in advance. ”

Gu Heng made an excuse and tried his best to take care of the emotions of the second uncle, as for what they thought, he couldn't control it.

He still has too much to do, and if he starts later now, he may have to spend more time catching up in the future, and he has his own trade-offs.

"Oh, okay, be safe yourself!"

The second aunt still greeted people with a smile, and took out fifty yuan from her pocket and stuffed it over: "It costs money for you to have a reunion with your classmates, you can buy some snacks with this money, if you want to come over at night, don't walk at night, call your second uncle to pick it up, or take a taxi directly." ”

Gu Heng knew that if he refused, the second uncle might not be able to hang up on his face, so he thanked him and took it.

Rejecting the second uncle's proposal to let the second uncle drive a motorcycle to send over, Gu Heng walked out of the door, and after a few steps, he looked back at the hut on the edge of Lianshui City and walked into the night.

At night, Gu Heng stayed up late to write programs in a rental house near the school.

He first downloaded a free billing software from the online group, called "Fangzhu Internet Café Billing" software, which is said to have been developed by an Internet café owner, which should be closer to the needs of today's Internet cafes.

Comparing this software with the Vientiane billing function in his memory, he quickly found the entry point and decided to use Fangzhu software as the blueprint, and then improve it, adding some functions such as membership level rates, points exchange, boss background query, etc.

Although these small functions are not very technical, they cater to the tastes of Internet café operators, allowing Internet cafes to open a variety of charging models such as membership, and at the same time, they can also make the boss completely reassured, and a simple audit function can prevent cashiers from stealing and cheating.

As for the game update and maintenance management functions that have not yet been popularized on the market, he only plans to design the simplest, one is afraid that it will be too time-consuming, and the other is that he is worried that the technical reserves are not enough.

Anyway, as long as he can achieve the point that no one has me, and no one has me, he will not worry that there is no market for the network management system he has developed.

Since he had been away from the programming industry for several years, Gu Heng made up some basic knowledge before he slowly found his senses, and before going to bed, the program had completed a general framework.

The next few days were very ordinary, except for going to the second uncle's house for dinner and going to several Internet cafes where he worked to repair machines, he spent most of his time in the rental house and writing programs.

On 13 July, China's successful bid for the Olympic Games was enough to make the Chinese people cheer, but it did not make much waves in Lianshui City, and most of the people in this small border city were still thinking about how to make more money so as to improve their personal lives and national honor.

That night, Gu Heng clenched his fist fiercely, and after a few days of forgetting to sleep and eat, a software program named "Hengchuang Network Management" was finally completed.

Hengchuang, Gu Heng creates, his naming method has always been simple and rude.

The next step was debugging, where he set one of the computers as the host computer and connected it to the other computer to test the operability of the software.

Functions such as recharge, timely reminder, account check, game update, monitoring reminder, etc., are tested one by one, and all are fine.

At this time, it was almost half past ten in the evening, but Gu Heng was inexplicably excited, in a sense, the advent of this software was the first step in his life to change his life, and its strategic significance was much more important than the success of the college entrance examination.

If this software can be successfully launched into the market, he will be able to get the first pot of gold relatively easily, complete the accumulation of original capital, and the future will be much smoother.

Not wanting to wait until the next day, he copied the program on his hard drive and went straight to the Internet café.

Blue Moon, Boss Luo was napping at the cash register, and he had to wait for an hour before his wife came over to change the guard.

"Lao Luo, wake up, I've brought you something good. ”

Gu Heng knocked on the counter, with a smile on his face, but he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the market is the only criterion for testing goods, whether Hengchuang network management software can be a hit, the success or failure of the first stop can explain a lot of problems.

"Xiao Gu, what's the matter?"

Lao Luo's spirit is not very good, the money in the Internet café is easy to make, but the body is really unbearable. And he is a thief, and he doesn't dare to ask someone to help him collect the cash, for fear that the other party will take advantage of his absence.

"Lao Luo, we're friends, right?" Gu Heng's eyes were very sincere.

"Well, of course, but if you want to borrow money, I'm afraid I won't be able to take out much, and I'll give my mother-in-law a lot of money, at most I can borrow you a thousand. As soon as Lao Luo heard that his tone was wrong, his drowsiness suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly blocked all the back roads before Gu Heng could speak.

Gu Heng's face suddenly changed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "You look down on me so much, and you can only borrow money to find you?" Lao Luo, let me tell you, you have made a big deal." ”

"It's not borrowing money, then tell me, what's the big deal I'm doing?" Lao Luo sighed, as long as he didn't borrow money, everything was easy to discuss.

"Forget it, I don't want to say it, I'll go to the "One Net Love" side for a trip, and wait for a few days when everyone on your side will go over there to go to the Internet, there will be times when you cry. ”

Gu Heng turned around to leave, and silently said in his heart: "One, two......"

Before he counted to three, Lao Luo's courteous tone came: "Xiao Gu, if you have something to say, you are all friends, why are you angry?"

"Lao Luo, I really didn't say you, you sometimes, you are too bad at being a person. I treat you as a friend, the first thing I think of when I have something good is to come to you, it's good for you, don't ask a word, just block people with words, do you do such a thing?"

Gu Heng began to preach earnestly, and only after satisfying Lao Luo's appetite did he slowly say: "Didn't you say that the billing software installed in your Internet café was won at a preferential price of less than 2,000 when you took the computer from the computer city? Let me tell you, my cousin's company has recently developed a software that is ten times stronger than that, and as soon as it is launched on the market, all your original things will be eliminated." ”

"Oh!"

Lao Luo didn't respond lightly, his interest was greatly reduced, he thought it was a good thing, and he didn't come to cheat him out of money? No matter how good it sounded, it was useless, unless yours was free, otherwise absolutely not, I was distressed to death when I installed a billing fee from the computer city, and it was 2,000 yuan.

"That's what you said, don't come to me then. I guarantee that in less than a month, people who use the Internet on your side would rather go to other Internet cafes to queue up than come here again, and within a year, those Internet cafes can add at least 50 computers or more. ”

Gu Heng really planned to leave this time, he still didn't believe it, none of the Internet café owners in Lianshui City would be willing to use his network management system, as long as a gap was opened, and when the effect came out, it would be his turn to set the score.

"There really is such a god, isn't it just a billing thing? I look at some Internet cafes, and they are still charging by manual hours, and they are still very popular. Lao Luo was a little suspicious, worried that his business would be robbed, and he was even more afraid of being cheated.

Let me tell you a few simple points, you have always refused to ask for help, you have to look after the store by yourself, tired like a dead dog, for what, isn't it just that you are afraid that the hands and feet of the people invited will not be clean? As long as you install my software, you can be completely liberated. First of all, he has a control system, and every machine in the store must be registered with the host at your front desk to turn it on. Secondly, it also has a function of checking accounts, only the boss who knows the password can open it, how many machines are turned on every day, how long is the machine turned on, how much money is earned, as long as the audit function is turned on, the accounts are all clear. ”

Giving Boss Luo a short time to digest, Gu Heng continued to expand his eloquence as a salesperson: "In addition, he also has a game update function, don't people who come here to surf the Internet often complain that the game is not updated in time, and they have to waste time to update? With this software, if you update the game on one machine, other machines will automatically update, think about it, if you don't install this thing in other Internet cafes, will anyone come to you to surf the Internet, will you change you?" Other people's Internet cafes can play games directly by surfing the Internet, but yours will have to spend half a day updating the game first. Of course, if you have time, you don't have to be afraid, it's a big deal to take some time every day to update all the games on the computer in the Internet café, tired is tired, but save money!"

"Needless to say, just tell me, how much, as long as it's as useful as you say, I'll pay immediately. After Lao Luo understood, he was very rare and bold.

Business was robbed second, the most important thing is that he is fed up with the days of nesting in the Internet café every day, God knows how long he hasn't basked in the sun properly, how long has he not gone shopping to buy clothes by himself.

If you can check the accounts as Gu Heng said, you can rest assured that you can invite someone to come to the store to register and liberate yourself to live a chic life, otherwise what is the hard work to make money every day?

"Well, it's not cheap!" Gu Heng saw that the fish had already taken the bait and sold it.

"What's not cheap, why don't you quote me a price? And what kind of software you said, I always have to try it out to know if it's good or not, so as to determine what price he's worth?" Lao Luo was a little anxious, he had made a lot of money in the past two years, but he was a dignified boss, and he had to guard the Internet café during the New Year's holidays, and his life was too poor, so he wanted to change his life.

"My cousin gave me two ways to charge, one was a monthly fee, and the other was a direct buyout. The monthly fee is 500 per month, and the program given to you will be automatically closed after one month of use, and then re-opened after renewal. The buyout price is 3000, no time limit!"

This is a marketing strategy that Gu Heng came up with, he is actually inclined to buy out at a fixed price, but he also quoted a very high monthly fee model, which is to make people choose a more cost-effective buyout price in comparison.

He was going to school in two months, and he didn't have time to continue the upgrades, and the trickle didn't work for him.

Moreover, this kind of network management system looks very good in the eyes of Internet café owners who don't understand technology, but for real technical experts, the threshold is not high, and it is easy to be copied.

Maybe in less than a few months, there will be more complete software on the market, and he will fight a price war, and he doesn't have so much time to fight with others on a network management system.

There is no such thing as a network management in the future blueprint in his head, and he has a bigger idea than this, and he can't afford to be dragged down by a network management system that can be seen at a glance.

"3000, so expensive?" After Lao Luo heard the price, he instinctively attacked, and exhaled.

"Then you can choose to charge it monthly, it's only 500 a month, and you can only charge more than this money for a month with just one computer. ”

"Eh!" Old Luo Yusai, who was directly buried by Gu Heng's pre-dug pit, thought about it and asked, "Then can I try it first?"

"Okay, but you're going to lose a little bit tonight, and if you want to install the program, you'll need to stop the other machines. ”

"How long? If it's too long, you have to make up for my loss and lower the price for me. ”

"It doesn't take more than an hour, I don't have to worry about ten minutes per person. Gu Heng smiled, completely dispelling Lao Luo's little abacus.

One night, Gu Heng spent the Blue Moon Internet café, installing programs, testing, and then teaching Lao Luo, a computer novice, over and over again, and it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

In Boss Luo's complicated expression of pain and joy, Gu Heng touched his re-bulging trouser pocket and left in style.
