Chapter 107: Reopening
Li Zheng told Lin Wenxing about his thoughts, and Lin Wenxing smiled and said: "Brother Li don't worry, I told him when I came, no matter what happens, don't be in a hurry first, shout Brother Li three times in your heart, and then continue to do things." ”
Li Zheng smiled and scolded: "What the hell are you thinking, when I am a wooden man enshrined in front of the shrine?"
Lin Wenxing said: "Don't say it, although Li Yong has a brain, he will obey you." I've tried many times, as soon as his temper comes up, I shout Brother Li, and he will basically be angry, and he won't fall short. ”
Li Zhengyi tried to imagine Li Yong's demeanor at that time, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Although things are not as exaggerated as Lin Wenxing said, Li Zhengyi knows that Li Yong is indeed convinced of himself.
To make a simple analogy, in Mogong Township in the past, Li Zhengyi slapped Li Yong on the back of the head at every turn because of his temper problems, and this product was happy every time without humming or making trouble. At the beginning, Lin Wenxing thought it was funny, and learned from Li Zhengyi to pat Li Yong on the back of the head, once or twice, Li Yong didn't turn his face for the sake of his brother, and he slapped it twice more later, and almost fell out with Lin Wenxing.
Since then, Lin Wenxing no longer dared to slap Li Yong's head, but teased the other party from time to time, saying that the second brother was eccentric and did not treat the second brother as the second brother.
Li Zhengyi is the head, and in the past, when he fought and made trouble, he was always in the front, daring to fight and fighting, so all three of them obeyed. Lin Wenxing has an active brain, a lot of ghost ideas, and is a military teacher-type bad ghost scholar, with personality and temper, and dares to fight with you when he is provoked, but his courage is insufficient. Li Yong is a dumbfounder, similar to a thug-like existence, fighting is a good hand, and it's best not to look for him when he uses his brain.
As for Cui Xingfa, even Li Zhengyi doesn't know how to evaluate him. Among the four people, Cui Xingfa is a diligent scalper, and it is not wrong to hand over any dirty work and errands to him. And this person has the best popularity, if in the territory of Mogong Township, Li Zhengyi and the three of them are still half of the enemies, then Cui Xingfa has no enemies. Even the old bastard Fan Chenggui, when it comes to Cui Xingfa, he has to say that this little cub is good, and the good here refers to popularity.
The three of them bragged for a long time, saying that they were tired, and Li Zhengyi asked: "Is there a gangster at the acquisition station to make trouble?"
Lin Wenxing said: "There have been two times, the first time I came to make trouble, I just brought a little scrap, and I had to sell it at a high price, and I was scared by Cui Zi and me." The second time was a few days earlier, and more people came, thinking that something was going to happen, but they happened to pass by a fierce and evil person, and they knew everything, so they didn't do it. ”
Cui Xing said: "It's Scarface, just passing by, he knows those people, and he didn't come back after the troublemakers drove away." ”
Li Zhengyi touched his chin and didn't make a sound, it seems that the gangsters in the shantytown should be making trouble. I remember going to Scarface's house a few months ago, and he said that the bastards in the shantytown basically listened to him, and it seemed that this was true. It's just that I'm making a fuss, and I don't know how to owe Scarface a favor, and I don't know when I can pay it off, and it's not easy to carry the debt of favors.
Considering that Scarface had helped the acquisition station after all, in the evening, Li Zhengyi took Lin Wenxing and Cui Xingfa to visit Scarface's house with fruit gifts. Scarface happened to be at home, and he was both surprised and happy by the arrival of Li Zhengyi and the others, and for the other two, because of Li Zhengyi's relationship, they also mingled in less than a moment.
In fact, Li Zhengyi came to visit Scarface today, on the one hand, he was grateful to Scarface, and on the other hand, because he was far away in Qingyun District, he couldn't reach the whip of the acquisition station in Dongcheng District, so he officially introduced Lin Wenxing and Cui Xingfa to Scarface, and if there was anything, the two of them could go directly to him for help. On the shanty side of the town, Scarface is the head snake of the ground, and with its help, there will basically be no more problems.
The time has entered July, and the days of Li Zhengyi's Internet café closure for rectification have finally passed, and the day of making money has finally come.
Zhengyi Internet Cafe opened again after the last round of expansion, because it had been closed for half a month for rectification, and the closure time was more than ten days longer than other Internet cafes, and the loss of the player base was relatively serious. On the first day of reopening, attendance was less than half of the usual level, and it was not until mid-July that the popularity of the internet café returned to normal levels.
The normal level referred to here is not the popularity of Internet cafes in the past, but the normal level of the Internet café industry in the entire Qingyun School District. Now that the number of Internet cafes is increasing, players can choose more diverse locations. The attendance rate of Internet cafes gradually decreased in the morning, and the peak Internet access period in the afternoon and evening can still maintain the hot scene.
Li Zhengyi thought of finding a way to bring the popularity of Internet cafes back to the level they once had. During this time, Li Zhengyi went to several large Internet cafes in the urban area and found that the billing software of those Internet cafes had been updated to the latest version.
The existing billing software of Zhengyi Internet Cafe is the mode of first starting and then checkout, which is countless times more advanced than the manual billing at the end of the last century, but it is very different from the pre-charging model imagined by Li Zhengyi.
After the latest version of the billing software came out, Li Zhengyi found that there was already a pre-charging model. There are two situations in this mode, one is the temporary card pre-recharge mode, the player needs to pay a certain amount in advance, the Internet café will give you a temporary account to turn on the Internet, there will be a reminder when the fee is about to end, after the Internet is over, you can go to the bar to settle the fee, and the remaining part will be directly refunded to the player.
The other mode is the fixed mode, where the player establishes a permanent account with his ID card, and the pre-charge can be refunded or not refunded after the end of the Internet according to the player's requirements. In fact, this model is the prototype of the VIP membership system of Internet cafes, but the owners of Internet cafes are not aware of the benefits for the time being, and the player group is not willing to put money in the account without discounts, because doing so will lose the freedom to choose the location of the Internet café online.
Perhaps in a few months, when the owner of the Internet café discovers that this model can form a bundle with a fixed group of players, he will tap into the potential of this prepaid model. In this case, the VIP membership card system of the Internet café will be introduced accordingly, but the VIP membership preferential system and suitability depend on the vision and ability of the Internet café owner, and the time will come.
Li Zhengyi considered whether to continue to be one step ahead of others and get out the Internet café membership card system, so that the Internet café could form a word-of-mouth effect, just like the first online CS game, when players greeted each other and said two sets of CS, the first reaction was to ask: "Go to Zhengyi Internet Café?"
The benefits of forming such a subtle word-of-mouth among players are obvious. Although the players are forgetful, they are also nostalgic. If an Internet café is familiar with it, he will naturally like to go there, and at the same time, it will drive the surrounding player group.
Of course, one person leads the other, it's mutual. Only when the strength of the Internet café reaches a certain scale, and the environment, hardware, service, characteristics and preferential system have obvious advantages, will the player base of other Internet cafes be leveraged through the player. Otherwise, you have to prevent being pried by others, not to mention prying.
