“…… Boss, after this period of observation, we can preliminarily determine that the Internet café industry has a very promising future. After the three-day free period, with the customers attracted in the early stage, the computers in the Internet café basically have no time to rest. According to the average daily turnover estimate during this period, it should be able to exceed 400,000 yuan in a month, including machine time usage fees and other sales revenues, and it is expected that the investment can be recovered in about 6~8 months after removing various fees...... Of course, the current data collection time is still short, and it is limited to the flagship store in Beijing, and I believe that after the opening of the stores in Shanghai and Guangzhou, the data collected will be closer to the actual situation with the longer operation time......

Wang Hao respectfully

Late at night on September 11, 1998"

According to what he said in the email, in the first three days of the Beijing flagship store in Beijing (August 26~28), the scene was so hot that there were seven or eight people waiting for a machine, but although there were more people entering the venue, but in the case of double security configuration, there was no mess, and it was expected that it might be open 24 hours a day. Several batches of waiters and network administrators have been prepared to work shifts, and there has been no situation where the business is booming and the employees are tired. However, such a 72-hour continuous rotation shows that the quality of the hardware facilities purchased from this batch of purchases, including computers, is not bad, and at least there have been no hardware failures in the past three days.

At 23:50 on the night of August 28th, there are still 10 minutes before the start of charging, most of the last free players are still insisting on the seats, and there are many players waiting to get on the plane in the rest area, among which there are many people in order to occupy the place early, bought the first batch of Internet café membership cards early, and rushed up to 50 yuan, just to be able to grab the computer and start playing immediately, so as not to register ID cards and pay deposits, but also to get temporary cards, waste so much time not to say, the key is that there are too many competitors now, After a round of tossing, who knows if there is still a computer to use, so before the Internet café began to officially charge, more than 300 membership cards have been sold.

It's about to start the official charge, although the previous scene is so hot, although the pre-sale of the membership card looks good, but when it comes to the real money, will there be so many people every day, no one dares to pack tickets. So at this critical time, Zheng Tianli also came to take a look at it at night. In fact, he is not distrustful of his employees, the performance of the employees in the past three days has shown this, but he does not go to the scene to see it with his own eyes, and he always feels a little unsteady in his heart.

At 0:00 on August 29th, the charging system of the Beijing flagship store was officially launched, and the free trial card will gradually become invalid at this time, and a small number of players sitting in front of the computer may have gotten up and left for this reason, and the rest area immediately became commotion. The waiters with the membership card in hand immediately got up to scramble for the computer that had just been vacated, while those who were unwilling to buy the membership card had no choice but to run to the bar first and spend some extra time to redeem a temporary card.

After scrambling to deal with more than a dozen players who came to redeem temporary cards, He Lili sighed, took down the small keyboard on the countertop, and then planned to tidy up the bar. At this time, Xiao Tao, who was standing on the side, suddenly poked her lightly and said, "Sister Lily, that person is here again." ”

He Lili looked up, it was really the same person two days ago, as long as she was at work these days, the person would always come to play for a while, I thought that I would not come to the evening shift today, but I didn't think that the person still came.

Although it felt a little weird, He Lili still maintained a sweet smile on her face and asked, "Hello, sir!" How can I help? ”

"Ah," He Xiaoyu touched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "What, I want to open a computer." ”

"Yes sir, you wait a minute." He Lili clicked on the Internet café management system that had been logged in with the mouse, and pressed the button of "temporary card opening", and a simple data input interface immediately popped up, and she put the keypad she had received before back on the glass table, and said with a smile: "Sir, please enter your ID number." ”

"Oh, okay." He Xiaoyu nodded, moved the keypad towards himself, and then skillfully entered his 15-digit ID number.

"All right, sir." He Lili used the mouse to press the OK button, the automatically generated temporary card popped up, she picked up the temporary card and handed it over respectfully, and said with a smile: "This is your card, you only need to enter the ID number when you use it, I hope you have a good time." ”

"Hmm......" He Xiaoyu took the card and nodded, turned around and walked towards the area where the computer was placed. As soon as he turned around, he felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to turn back, as long as he continued to move forward helplessly.

Xiao Tao gently poked He Lili, and said with a smile: "Sister Lili, do you see, people even come to look for you at night." ”

"Who said that he was just here to play with the computer, not to me." He Lili's face flushed slightly and retorted.

"Really? Sister Lily, but I think the way he looks at you is very unusual. ”

"Peach, you're going to make jokes." He Lili glanced at Zheng Tianli, who was patrolling over here, and hurriedly patted Xiao Tao beside her without squinting: "Don't say it, the store manager is coming over." ”

Xiao Tao playfully stuck out her tongue, and immediately pretended to be busy, whether you are busy or not, at least you can't let your leader think that you are too idle, otherwise there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

……

The Internet café became popular, even if Zhang Lexing did not receive Wang Hao's email, he would not doubt it. This period is the time when domestic Internet cafes (of course, this is not the kind of computer game room that refers to) really began to rise, as long as the management can keep up, and there is no lack of financial and resource support, he believes that he will be able to make some achievements in this market, not to mention that he does not plan to dominate the domestic Internet café market alone. As long as the system with embedded Internet café management functions can be promoted throughout the country, as long as Internet cafes can develop the habit of spending some funds to buy genuine games, and as long as domestic game companies can have a new market, then Zhang Lexing will feel that everything he has done is worth it.

The start of the Fengyun chain Internet café is good, but Zhang Lexing also knows that it must be truly rolled out nationwide before it can be seen, and at that time it is the time to really test the level of the management of Fengyun Investment Holdings, as for the current only two weeks, it can't explain anything at all.

Wang Hao's email also mentioned several other companies that have obtained national chain Internet café licenses, some of which can't wait to announce the national development plan, some of which are not in a hurry and slowly deployed, and some of them are quietly holding a license, not knowing what they are secretly thinking. As for how these Internet cafes will develop and what they will become, Zhang Lexing is not too worried, anyway, no matter how well they develop, the operating system of the Internet café has also been designated as a system, and it can always achieve his goal.

……

At the same time that the flagship store of the Fengyun Internet café chain in Beijing was booming and full almost every day, some gamers who love the Internet on weekdays found an interesting new post in online forums such as "Nomad Tribe", which immediately attracted everyone's attention and onlookers.

"If the domestic host appears, what does the column want it to be called? Please follow the format of [English name] [Chinese name], thank you! "[Landlord] [Lou Yuehua]

"Reveal the world's strongest domestic game console - Dongfanghong No. 1

I heard my cousin say,The landlord said that the development code name of this domestic host is called "Dongfanghong No. 1",It is said that it uses up to 4000MHZ main frequency512-bit microprocessor,It is a cost-effective central processing unit specially developed for learning and game users,Game console also comes with a dedicated 3D、4D acceleration chip,Memory up to 512M,Fully catch up with Sega's unlisted Dreamcast host,It's better than the popular PS game console I don't know how many streets。

I heard my cousin say that the planning and R&D process of this project has brought together a large number of elites who have been engaged in domestic education, game industry development and marketing for a long time, and have a strong entrepreneurial spirit.

Friends, I believe that with the release of the 512-bit game console "Dongfanghong No. 1" with Chinese characteristics, it will surely announce the end of the rule of the United States and Japan!! ～！ [1008th Floor] [Cat Hitting the Street]

……

A few game forums have become active because of the appearance of "If the domestic console appears, what do you want it to be called...... "The appearance of the post,Game-loving netizens have joined in to express their opinions,At first, there were many people who thought that someone was joking,But there are really many people who are serious about attaching their favorite names or sending their blessings to the post。 However, with the continuous growth of posts, the topic of discussion among enthusiastic netizens has slowly turned to other directions, such as someone studying the failed A'Can host in the post, and I don't know where to get some relevant information, analyzing the success or failure of the A'Can host, and later there were even some netizens who joked about the domestic host, and seriously discussed the "Dongfanghong No. 1" to develop those games.

Zhang Lexing learned from the email about the discussion of the post "If the domestic host appears, what do you want it to be called...... the column", and he also logged on to those forums to take a look. Zhang Lexing can also understand such a situation, in fact, this is quite good, at least there are many people who have some hopes for domestic game consoles, and it can even be said that they have very high expectations.

When Zhang Lexing came back, in addition to shaking his head or shaking his head when it comes to domestic hosts, the others are FC→SFC, MD→PS, SS, N64→PS2, GC, DC, XBOX→ PS3, XBOX360, Wii, and the so-called domestic host is just some copycats out of what power sticks, ViVi, MiVi and the like, and even Tetris machines with PS2 names appeared, or they still have their own "high-end" black and white LCD screens. In this case, players who have always held on to hope can only be disappointed again and again, and in the end they can only helplessly play pirated disc games with parallel game consoles.

In the blink of an eye, October has arrived,The discussion about the post of "If the domestic host appears,What do you want it to be called......"The discussion of the post has undergone a new change,This time I don't post in the game forum,But in the Fengyun network"Nomad tribe"The homepage launched a "domestic game console name" voting activity,Some well-informed netizens found that the names that were voted for were the ones that appeared in those game forum posts before,For example, one of them is temporarily leading" DreamBox128 (English), Dream Treasure Box (Chinese)" voting options are like this.
