Chapter 46: It's All Calculations
The main purpose of the computer in the Internet café itself is for everyone's entertainment, and the software installed in it is also biased, and the selection is more targeted. In addition, the price of general options will be lower than that of brand machines with the same configuration, which is actually a good choice.
"Boss, to be honest, we're planning to open an Internet café here, so we must have more computers. Lu Tao said directly.
The boss looked at the two with wide eyes, he didn't expect that two people who looked so young would open an Internet café, the investment was not small, and it meant that his business was not small.
The shopkeeper with a smile on his eyebrows said directly: "If it's an Internet café, you really have to match it better, one is that the Internet café is full of people, and the frequency of use is fast, and the other is that this brand machine is honest, and it is really a bit of a good deal to use it in an Internet café." ”
The two of them agreed with his statement, so they said: "If you can really match it here, we won't look around anymore if the price is right, what do you think?"
Of course, the boss was happy, and said directly: "You can rest assured about this, the price is easy to say, my side is also newly opened not long ago, just a good start, you two really want to buy, specify a reasonable price for you." ”
Lu Tao nodded and looked at Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian didn't know much about computers, and said: "You can make up your mind about this matter." ”
This boss is indeed a bit level, and it didn't take long for a list to come out, such as CPU, memory, power supply, etc., what brand to match, how much is the price, later maintenance costs, etc., are also counted.
Lu Tao took it and looked at it, according to the above price, a unit is about 5000 yuan, which is a lot cheaper than what I said before, and I am still a little worried about this quality problem, after all, if the door is open to do business, if the machine is too poor, people will not be happy, and it will affect the reputation.
"These configurations are okay in Internet cafes, right?"
"Absolutely. The boss swore by it.
"What about the later maintenance, boss, our business is a long-term cooperation, but it's not just a single order, you have to get this thing done." ”
"Don't worry, if you want to do this, we can make a contract. The boss patted his chest and assured.
Since the boss said so, Lu Tao can't say anything more, everything has a contract, and there will really be a problem when the time comes, isn't there still Zhang Jian, his parents are from the court.
The matter of the computer in the Internet café was almost solved, and while he was having dinner at noon, Zhang Jian talked to him about one thing.
"Lu Tao, do you want to have an opening ceremony. ”
Seeing that the Internet café was about to open, Zhang Jian was also a little excited, this is a good opportunity to show his face, and he will not be taught by his parents to say that he will not do his job all day long.
"Why, when you're the boss, you have to have an opening ceremony. Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Lu Tao said with a smile.
"I see that there is an opening ceremony for opening a store in other places, and we are more than 100 square meters, and we have invested hundreds of thousands, so it is unreasonable not to do it. ”
Lu Tao thought for a moment and replied, "That's true, but I have an idea." “
"What's the idea?" Feeling that Lu Tao's ghost ideas were getting more and more, Zhang Jian looked forward to it. "Since it is an Internet café, the source of customers in the early stage is very important, although it depends on our school, but at the beginning everyone didn't know it. Lu Tao said.
Zhang Jian nodded: "Not bad." ”
"According to my idea, Zhang Jian, when the opening ceremony comes, you can invite your parents to come over and cheer you on, and then I will also tell those senior brothers here, when you come, you will have a big opening ceremony, and let everyone experience it first. In this way, won't this fame go out?"
Lu Tao said what he thought in his heart, and Zhang Jian couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Boy, it's okay, this idea is good." When the time comes, I'll tell my parents that I can't see it. ”
"Yes. ”
"The Internet café is yours, and I don't have a stake here, but it's ......"
"It's all said that you're going to be a shareholder, and you're not happy about it. Before Lu Tao finished speaking, Zhang Jian directly opened his mouth and was a little dissatisfied, thinking that now Lu Tao blamed him again.
"No, I'm thinking, isn't what I'm doing now in the school's business? Those brothers and sisters must also need to go online sometimes, and it's not convenient for the school now, I mean, see if you can give me a discount, I'll buy some membership cards here." Lu Tao said directly.
"Membership card?"
"Yes, I'll buy some here, you give me a discount, and if my customers buy reagent consumables or something, I'll give them a little benefit in the form of an Internet café membership card." Lu Tao lowered his voice and said.
What he said is already a rebate in disguise, after all, doing business, at the beginning, it has to be more or less meaningful, otherwise he would not have bought so many souvenirs to send.
This kind of membership card is actually a good choice, firstly, the students can use it, and they are not given away for nothing, and it is not impossible to give him a discount later; secondly, it also brings some customers to Zhang Jian's Internet café, which is simply the best of both worlds.
When Zhang Jian heard him say this, he said directly: "Lu Tao, it's okay, this idea is good." Anyway, now there is a big Internet café outside the whole school, and it will be set at 8 yuan an hour, and if you are a member, you will directly give 6 yuan an hour, how about it, am I interesting enough?"
After all, he invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in it, and he was a little bottomless in his heart, and now that he was about to open, he naturally wanted to return to his capital and see profits as soon as possible.
"You kid has such a black heart?" Lu Tao rolled his eyes.
Lu Tao knows that there can't be only one Internet café around the school, especially the university, as long as the business is hot at that time, someone will definitely come to grab this piece of meat.
In fact, there is already that kind of computer room outside the school, but it is not large-scale, and there are few machines, mainly for students to practice typing, check information and other use. Although it is equivalent to a monopoly now, it is too expensive and there are not many people who can afford it, 8 yuan an hour, even Lu Tao himself thinks it is too expensive, let alone other people.
"It's just 5 yuan, and it's not too expensive. Lu Tao thought about it and said directly.
"5 yuan, will it be a little less?" Zhang Jian's eyes widened.
"5 yuan an hour, a machine is only more than 100 yuan a day, 20 machines are 2,000 a day, and only 60,000 a month, except for others, won't it take half a year to return to the cost?" Zhang Jian calculated the account.
"It's not simple, don't Internet cafes still have to sell drinks or something? Besides, when the time comes, not only will you give a discount, but other people can also do it, such as a discount on how much you have pre-deposited, firstly, this can stick to customers to the greatest extent, and secondly, you also have cash flow, and you can use the money to buy new computers. “
Lu Tao didn't think about it, and said directly, this method basically exists in all walks of life, in fact, it is equivalent to a customer prepayment, and the merchant cash is returned.
"Then I can't give you a discount that's too low. Zhang Jian calculated for a while, made a small idea, and couldn't help laughing and joking.
"What do you think I'm asking for here, it's not for relationships? The main thing is that I'll give you money, anyway, you can just give it a discount when the time comes. Lu Tao looked at Zhang Jian and couldn't help but say.
Zhang Jian nodded, how do you feel that you have become picky when you do business, you have to calculate your profits and losses first.
Lu Tao thought that when he went to meet those customers after the start of school, he would have a better contact point.
The idea of buying a product and getting a membership card seems like a good idea.
