Chapter Twenty-Three: A Little Gadget
After returning to Chu City, it was already July 5, and Lin Feng checked the accounts. Last month's profit has reached 327,600 yuan, counting the 1,500 yuan profit of the bar and the 1,700 yuan profit of the coffee machine, the gross profit of "Chufeng Net City" in June reached a total of 330,800 yuan.
In addition to 8,000 yuan of employee expenses, 1,200 yuan of various taxes, 2,925 yuan of "public security management fees" to the Blue Special Zone Police Station in July, 2,000 yuan of enterprise tax (without invoicing), plus 58,240 yuan of dividends to the owners of eight Internet cafes, a total of 72,365 yuan was spent.
However, starting this month, the electricity and water bills will also be borne by the "Chufeng Net City", and Lin Feng is not unaware, so he was shocked. 195 computers counting air conditioners, actually used 35,208 kilowatt-hours of electricity, 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity 1 yuan, that is, 35,208 yuan. The water bill is less than 40 yuan, which is much cheaper.
Counting the "public security management fee" of 2,925 yuan in June, the sponsorship of the Blue Special Economic Zone Neighborhood Committee of 1,000 yuan, the fire training fee of 3,000 yuan, and the cigarette money for Officer Zhang and others, the total expenditure is 115538 yuan......
Zuihou settled, and the net profit in June was 215265 yuan. According to the agreement, Lin Feng and Chu Zhixuan began to distribute dividends this month. Chu Zhixuan's 25% dividend can be divided into 53,816.25 yuan, which not only exceeds the money Chu Zhixuan earned in two years of opening a bookstore, but also earns half of the electricity and water bills he paid in the past three months.
"Brother, let's continue to expand the computer. Chu Zhixuan saw that the profits were so large, so he naturally would not deposit the money in the bank, and reinvesting it was the wisest choice.
"Well, but this time we won't use all the money to buy a computer, and with a small amount of money, we will add a small game room on the third floor. Lin Feng smiled mysteriously.
"Game room?" Chu Zhixuan was stunned, he didn't understand what Lin Feng wanted to do on the third floor. The third floor used to be used by him to stack books, and the space is not large, less than 20 square meters, and it has always been used as a warehouse.
"Hehe, brother, you'll know when you arrive. Lin Feng didn't plan to solve the mystery first, he wanted to create a suspense.
After negotiating with Chu Zhixuan, Lin Feng left a small amount for later use, and the remaining 200,000 yuan was all used to purchase additional computers, adding 30 computers again, and now there are a total of 225 computers in "Chu Feng Net City". In order to ensure air circulation and freshness, Lin Feng only has 200 computers on the first floor and 25 computers on the second floor. According to Lin Feng's estimates, on the premise of ensuring sufficient space, a maximum of 450 computers can be placed on the two floors, but this number can basically absorb the surrounding customers.
After purchasing computers, Lin Feng also launched a membership system. As long as you deposit 50 yuan, you can become a member of "Chufeng Nettown", you can enjoy an 85% discount, and you can regularly enjoy the various activities launched by "Chufeng Netcity".
Lin Feng launched this membership system with two goals: one is to build loyal customers, although there are no other Internet cafes for the time being, but sooner or later they will appear again, so Lin Feng wants to occupy the market first, and the second is to prepare for a series of jihua he will launch in the future.
Lin Feng's membership system was welcomed by all students as soon as it was launched, after all, the cost of 3 yuan per hour is still relatively expensive for most students, although it is only 0.5 yuan cheaper per hour, but it saves more money over time. In just three days, "Chufeng Net City" has 1,500 members, and this number is still growing rapidly every day.
Another unexpected discovery of Lin Feng's trip to Europe this time is that during his absence, Liu Yishan managed the Internet café very well, although he is middle-aged, he has no ambition to forge ahead, but the stability and composure unique to middle-aged people can easily resolve the occasional contradictions and frictions in the Internet city, which happens to not be what Lin Feng has.
And Lin Feng can't always devote all his time to the "Chu Feng Net City", his career has just started, and it will definitely continue to grow and develop, so he must also ask some helpers to help him, no matter how powerful a general is, it is impossible for him to win the battle alone.
After negotiating with Liu Yishan, Lin Feng decided to hire Liu Yishan to officially serve as the administrator of the "Chufeng Net City", responsible for daily affairs, and Lin Feng was responsible for the money. Lin Feng didn't want his mother to work too hard, of course, because although his mother would not have problems managing the accounts, if Lin Feng wanted to invest, it would inevitably cause some trouble, so at this stage, Lin Feng did not plan to transfer the economic power to others.
After settling all this, Lin Feng finally freed up a lot of time. Now that he has 1 million cash in his hand, he can't let it depreciate in his hands, and he must use the money to make money and develop his own career.
Perhaps when he was first reborn, Lin Feng just wanted to earn a sum of money so that he and his family could live without illness or disaster. But the development of his career during this period not only made Lin Feng's purse bulge, but also gradually changed Lin Feng's thinking that he was rich and peaceful. Especially this trip to Europe, not only earned 1 million, but also broadened Lin Feng's horizons.
Since I have the ability to make more money, I don't want to make it, I'm going to be like Roman Abramovich (Chelsea owner of the Premier League, abbreviated as Abu in the media) and manipulate reality like a game. -- Lin Feng made the grandest wish in his life.
Lin Feng believes that he will be able to realize this wish.
"Have you ever killed your own friend?"
When everyone came to play the game the next day, there was a huge poster posted outside the "Chu Feng Net City" - a pitch-black room with several people standing inside. - "Have you ever killed your friend with your own hands?" appears in the most striking place.
At the top of the staircase leading to the third floor, there is a sign that reads: Let's Kill! - Welcome to the Killing Game.
"Boss, what is this?" The students who had finally skipped class early in the morning to play the game were immediately attracted by the posters outside, stopped playing the game, and ran to Lin Feng to ask non-stop.
"Hehe, this is a reasoning puzzle game invented in Europe and the United States, called 'Killing Game'. It not only tests people's eloquence, but also tests people's ability to analyze and judge, and I believe that as long as the winner can win repeatedly in this game, he will definitely become a winner in society. Lin Feng bewitched the game and society together, and immediately aroused everyone's interest.
"Boss, boss, when will this game start?
"Hehe, don't worry, it will open in three days, but the first time it is only open to members, if you want to play this game, please go to the cashier to register. Lin Feng pointed to the cash register.
"Miss, I want to register, I want to register. Everyone hula gathered around the cashier, rushing to sign up, and the cashier lady was in a hurry. There is no way, what the poster outside says is too tempting, and Lin Feng's explanation is half hidden and half exposed, which makes everyone's hearts itch, so it's strange if they are not in a hurry.
Looking at the people who rushed to sign up, Lin Feng knew that the "killing game" launched this time would definitely be popular. Lin Feng didn't know whether there were already "killing games" in other parts of the country at this time, but Chu City launched the killing game in 2005, and Lin Feng launched it in 2000, which will definitely set off a round of "killing fever" in Chu City.
As for saying that the "killing game" will be opened three days later, Lin Feng is firstly to whet everyone's appetite; second, he has been stepping up the training of referees in the past two days, and it is impossible for Lin Feng to be a referee himself, so it is really useless to tie Lin Feng here; third, Lin Feng wants to launch a "killing club" here, and only members of the "Chufeng Netcity" can enjoy this game, so as to stimulate the business of the "Chufeng Nettown".
Internet cafes are definitely the easiest industry to make money now, although there are no other Internet cafes in the Blue Special Economic Zone to compete with the "Chufeng Internet City", but Lin Feng must take precautions. Moreover, compared with the urban area, due to the successive opening of several large Internet cities, the price of Internet cafes has dropped to 2 yuan per hour. "Chufeng Online City" is still maintained at a price of 3 yuan per hour, which makes most students complain, and the introduction of such a free game that only members can enjoy can greatly reduce their resistance to the price.
Just as Lin Feng was about to make a big move, a phone call came.
