Chapter 19: The Internet Café Revolution
Saying goodbye to Ah Ling, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, the north wind was howling, and a cold snap from Siberia hit the streets, rolling up bursts of dust, passers-by were in a hurry, Su Liwen was thinly dressed, and he also felt a little chilly, and accelerated his pace towards Hongye Internet Cafe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Entering the Internet café, I saw the boss frowning and sitting at the cash register, Su Liwen stepped forward to say hello, the boss saw his eyes lit up, hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Su Liwen was curious, this was the first time the bride had been on the sedan chair, even if he had the idea of a non-smoking area, he didn't see the boss pouring tea for himself, and he couldn't say that the boss had anything to ask for him. This cup of tea is bright and clear, and it is a top grade at first glance, Su Liwen is not good at tasting tea, so he drank a few sips at random and praised "good tea".
"Little brother, this is a top-grade Longjing before the rain, three hundred and one catties, ordinary people can't drink it." The boss smiled, squinted his eyes and said, and then changed his worried look, "Yesterday I walked around the college area and found that there are two Internet cafes that are also separated from the non-smoking area, although it has not affected my business yet, but it is difficult to say after a long time, you have a good brain, help me think of what is a good way." ”
Su Liwen has a lot of suggestions in his heart, but he can't just say it, he has to sell some passes, so that the boss understands that it is not easy to come by, which is conducive to the promotion of Internet café housekeepers in the future. At that moment, he held the wisdom bead in his hand, and said with an indifferent smile: "Boss, I am not Zhuge Kongming, what good way can I do, besides, at the peak, no matter how many machines are busy, the smoke-free area only makes a small amount of money." ”
The boss heard a hint of ridicule, smiled, and replied: "Little brother, you also said that the business will be full during the peak period, and the probability of going on is not very high at ordinary times, and the smoke-free area does not distinguish between time periods, from morning to evening, the probability is the highest, it seems to be just a small amount of money, and it accumulates more, I am thinking about whether to expand the scope of the smoke-free area." ”
Su Liwen smiled mysteriously and asked, "Boss, tell me the truth, after the establishment of the smoke-free zone, how much has the average daily turnover of Internet cafes increased?" I know how to deal with it. ”
The boss hesitated for a while, his expression changed, the turnover is a trade secret, should he be told? What if he had other thoughts when he found out?
Su Liwen seemed to see through what the boss was thinking, and said: "Boss, those who become big things are not informal, I didn't think about getting anything from the suggestion of a smoke-free area, if you don't even want to say this, then you don't trust me, even if I have a way, I don't worry about telling you." ”
In fact, it is not to blame the boss for hesitating, the wealth is moving, since the establishment of the smoke-free zone, the average daily turnover of the Internet café has increased by more than 400 yuan, which does not seem to be much, but it accumulates more, more than 10,000 a month, and more than 100,000 a year, which is a huge amount of money for ordinary families, and he is worried that Sullivan will have other ideas after he knows.
The boss hesitated for a while and decided to tell Su Livan, but he still kept a hand and said, "Close to three hundred yuan." ”
Su Liwen nodded, this number seemed unsatisfactory to him, and the boss saw that he didn't care at all, and wondered, aren't you a student looking at three hundred yuan? Don't want to take a copy of it? How did he know that Sullivan's ambition could not be impressed by only three hundred.
The reason why Sullivan asked the boss to say the increase in daily turnover is nothing more than to tell the boss that he is also an understanding person, and the two sides are equal, so that the boss should not underestimate him because of his young age. Now that the goal has basically been achieved, Sullivan thought about it and felt that the time was ripe to move forward with the next step of the zoning plan. So he said:
"Other Internet cafes want to set up smoke-free areas, and we just can't stop them."
After a pause, Sullivan took a sip of tea and said, "However, I have some other ideas, I don't know if the boss would like to hear it?" ”
The boss said seriously: "I want to hear about it!" ”
Su Liwen had already had a belly case, and he took the trouble to explain some of the key points of the Internet café partition in detail, during which the boss refilled him with tea three times, and when he heard the highlights, the boss simply danced with his hands, and he couldn't wait to recruit Su Liwen as his son-in-law.
…………
On October 17, Sunday, at 12 o'clock at noon, Hongye Internet Café changed its name to "Sun Hung Network Alliance" and reopened, and Sulliman and six roommates also came to cheer.
A group of seven people meandered and walked closer, only to see a sea of people in front of the Internet café, a piece of black pressing, and saw two teams of people and horses lined up on the left and right, on the left are two mighty and majestic lion dances, which are staging a good show of double dragons playing with pearls; On the right is a team of waist drums wearing red belts, holding long suona in their hands and red waist drums on their hips.
The boss saw Sullivan and they came, and shouted: "People have arrived, hurry up and set off firecrackers, the Internet café is reopened for business today, with great discounts, as long as the membership is opened, the leisure area is free of charge, and the game area is 50% off......"
Before the words fell, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and noise was heard. I saw male students, female students, and college students running violently.
Su Liwen picked up a leaflet and read: "Sun Hung Network Alliance opens with a big reward, free Internet access in the leisure area on the opening day, and a 50% discount in the game area." In the lower right corner of the leaflet, there is a line of small words: "On the opening day, you need to apply for membership to enjoy the discount, and the right to interpret this activity belongs to Sun Hung Network Alliance".
"Uncle Hu, congratulations, the opening is auspicious, and the wealth is abundant." Sullivan smiled and congratulated.
The boss laughed heartily: "Tongxi, Tongxi, please come in ......"
When you enter the Internet café, you feel that you have entered another world, and the mottled walls are gone, replaced by light blue wallpaper with large portraits of various game characters. Several new high-horsepower exhaust fans are installed in the window, the game area, the non-smoking area, the leisure area, and the couple's area are scattered, and the staff are uniformly wearing red sweatshirts to make it easy for customers to identify.
Su Liwen was amazed: "Uncle Hu, you are really generous, I am convinced." ”
The boss's name is Hu Tiezhu, after listening to Sullivan's tirade last time, he suddenly became enlightened and keenly aware that this is a new way of operating Internet cafes, which is much better than a single charging model, which is simply a revolution in the Internet café industry, once implemented, the traditional business model can not compete with it.
After Sullivan left, he pondered and thought hard, knowing that the opportunity was fleeting, and he did not show the courage to do it, once Sullivan informed other Internet cafes of this method, then he would be passive, so there was the emergence of "Sun Hung Network Alliance", even the name of the store, which was also proposed by Su Liwen, the new representative of the new life, the network alliance represents the new Internet café business model, Hu Tiezhu wants to let the "Sun Hung Network Alliance" appear in the Internet café industry with a new image.
During the renovation of the Internet café, Su Liwen came to see it a few times and put forward some suggestions, these suggestions can be described as every word, every sentence is to the point, Hu Tiezhu was shocked, he opened an Internet café for a few years, he is no more young than nineteen years old, he knows that this son must not be a thing in the pool, simply rely on the old and sell the old, first do his uncle and then say, come and go, the two of them are warm.
Su Liwen called the boss "Uncle Hu", the happiest is not Hu Tiejun, but Hu Xiaojun, this girl is a big ghost, and she always thinks that her father calls Su Liwen "little brother", which makes her a generation shorter out of thin air, and her heart has always been unhappy, but now she is finally comfortable.
…………
The six roommates used the Internet for free, and they were reluctant to leave, and at five o'clock, Su Liwen said hello to everyone and went back, this afternoon the senior brother will come over, this senior brother is not the senior brother of the school, but the real senior brother - the policeman Meng Gaoshan.
Meng Gaoshan knew that after the master accepted Su Liwen, the little junior brother, he was very attentive to him, firstly, out of the love of the senior brother, Liu Yunguo accepted very few apprentices, plus Su Liwen was only three; The second is that Su Liwen saved Ma Dongcheng, this is a wonderful move, the red children are the most unwilling to be favored, and sooner or later they will be repaid.
Meng Gaoshan is in the system, and he knows that there are people in the court who are good officials, and his junior brother saved Ma Dongcheng, and he must be a senior brother to get some light, so it is reasonable for Meng Gaoshan to take care of Su Liwen, especially when Su Liwen's personal safety is threatened.
Su Liwen came to the master's house, Meng Gaoshan and the master were playing chess, and he greeted the two respectfully: "Master, senior brother." ”
Liu Yunguo said "general", waved his hand at him again, and motioned for him to find a place to sit, Su Liwen moved a chair and sat at the chess table to watch the battle, Meng Gaoshan appeared to block the "general", and then asked him: "Have you encountered any trouble recently?" ”
Su Liwen shook his head: "No." ”
Meng Gaoshan said with a smile: "I already said hello to the following last time I went back, no one in this part of the college area dares to come to trouble you, but you have to be careful in the city, and try not to go if you have nothing to do." ”
Su Liwen nodded, and Liu Yunguo snorted, obviously not very satisfied.
Meng Gaoshan knew the temper of the master, and immediately explained: "Master, Zhao Weidong will be revenged, and there are people above, and I am also beyond the reach of the whip." ”
Liu Yunguo sighed: "When I was young, how could there be these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but now the world is completely chaotic." ”
While talking, the two took a few more moves, Liu Yunguo dispatched troops, forming an afterthought nirvana game, Meng Gaoshan couldn't defend himself, the old man was arrested, and the chess game ended.
Meng Gaoshan said: "Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, Zhao Weidong can be arrogant for a while, but he can't be arrogant for a lifetime, master, you can just be optimistic, I have already received the rumors, and the above has already been fighting, and the goal is to defeat Zhao Weidong." ”
Liu Yunguo nodded: "I hope so." ”
The master and wife came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and for a while the cottage was full of fragrant vegetables, Liu Yunguo did not let Su Liwen drink, Su Liwen wanted to say that he was thirty-one years old, and his wife seemed to like Su Liwen very much, kept putting vegetables in his bowl, and asked him about the situation at home, and Su Liwen told him the truth.
After the meal, Meng Gaoshan said goodbye and left, Su Liwen hurriedly followed him downstairs, the two walked downstairs, Meng Gaoshan turned around and asked him, "Is there something?" ”
Su Liwen nodded and said, "Senior brother, I want to start a company, I don't have time to register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, I want to ask you for help." ”
"You're just a freshman, and you're thinking about starting a company." Meng Gaoshan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, paused, and said, "You say come and listen, I will help you if I think it is appropriate." ”
Su Liwen knew that there was a play, and Meng Gaoshan really treated himself as a junior brother, so he was so straightforward.
This year is not like 2015, it takes two or three thousand yuan a week to get the company's license, if there are no acquaintances, a whole set of processes can run people to death, it takes half a year to register a company, originally Su Liwen planned to wait for the software to develop and then register the company, and now with Meng Gaoshan's relationship, it must be used.
Where does Meng Gaoshan know what software, Su Liwen said the Tao, and he also knew that what he said was true, so he said: "You leave a phone number for me, I will ask first when I go back, software companies are a rare thing in Dongsha City, and I don't know if it is troublesome to register." ”
Su Liwen left the dormitory phone number for him, watched his senior brother get in the car and leave, and then went back.
