Yang Yun's parents finally chose to open an Internet café. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two of them are already in business, and they often go to Nanyue Province to buy goods in the fruit business, so they don't know anything about Internet cafes.

The Internet café in 98 was actually transformed from a computer game room, and the way of transformation was nothing more than adding a dial-up Internet service, or mainly stand-alone games, supplemented by Internet access. The 54k cat can only simply browse the web, can only use a chat tool called ICQ, or a bubble chat room, brush BBS, play chess and card games, and watch the news; The ISDN of 128-256K and the DDN of 256-512K in '99 made Internet games like "Stone Age" appear, and the mainstream games in Internet cafes at that time were still stand-alone games CS; After 2000, the emergence of 2-8m ADSL gave "Legend" and "Miracle" a crazy foundation and entered the era of online games.

Songzhou began to have a computer game room in 95 years, and in 98 years, there was actually a computer game room that began to provide Internet services.

In fact, many people don't know a lot of things, but everyone will suddenly realize when they talk about it.

Do computer game rooms make money? Many people know that making money, computers, electricity, and dial-up Internet fees are all very transparent, and those who are interested in investigating can actually calculate the gross profit more accurately than the owner of the computer room.

Why wasn't the computer game room favored by many people before? Because computer game rooms have been equated with arcade game rooms, which are a repressed industry in China, the sustainability of which is questionable, and even those who make money are hesitant to expand their investments (part of which is the lack of Internet café management software).

Internet access service business premises (Internet cafes) were encouraged at this time, and when people saw that the computer game room could smoothly transition to the equally popular Internet café, the computer game room was distinguished from the arcade game hall and became an independent industry with a bright future, and began to revitalize.

This is the reason behind the mushrooming of Internet cafes (computer game rooms) all over the country in '98, and the number and number of them have grown dramatically.

Chen Fan actually made sense to put the opening of an Internet café at the end. Opening an Internet café is indeed very profitable, but it is not suitable as a career. The threshold of Internet cafes is too low, the chain management is difficult, and the Internet café industry has been brilliant for more than ten years, but basically no one has made a career in Internet cafes.

However, as an industry where low-risk investment can be made and left, it is still very suitable to open an Internet café. There is a potential benefit, after the Blue Speed Internet café incident in 02, the application for Internet café licenses is restricted. After 02 years, it is difficult to find an Internet café license, and the transfer fee for the Internet café license in some big cities has been speculated to millions of yuan.

Yang Yun's parents are themselves activists, and after seeing the prospect of the Internet café, they quickly ended their fruit business and began to prepare for preliminary work.

During this period, Yang Yun's parents also took the initiative to do the work of Chen Fan's parents, and the Internet café became a project invested by two families, with Yang Yun's family investing 200,000 yuan and Chen Fan's family investing 100,000 yuan. Yang Yun's family's 200,000 yuan was accumulated by them in the fruit business for several years, and most of the money invested by Chen Fan's parents was borrowed, of which 50,000 yuan was lent to them by Yang Yun's family.

Yang Yun's parents were willing to make a joint venture with Chen Fan's family and even took the initiative to lend them 50,000 yuan, partly because the two families were close, and partly because Chen Fan provided a lot of good advice during the entire process of opening an Internet café.

Chen Fan himself did not think of using this to make his family also take part of the shares, but Yang Yun's parents took the initiative to cooperate with their family, and he did not object.

He instigated Yang Yun's parents to open an Internet café just because Yang Yun's parents have always been good to him, and they came up with an idea to make them no longer work so hard. Regardless of whether Yang Yun's parents choose to open a pharmacy, an optical store or an Internet café, Chen Fan can use this platform to do something of his own in the future.

After more than a month, in April 1998, the "largest" Internet café in Songzhou City opened its door, and business was booming as soon as it opened.

First of all, under his suggestion, the location of the store was chosen to be on the side of Central South University of Technology, which was a very prosperous area in Songzhou in later generations. Although Chen Fan didn't have much business acumen, he still easily chose a prime position with memories of later generations. Unlike today's people who tend to open computer labs near primary and secondary schools, Chaofan Internet cafes near universities not only have less competition, but also avoid the impact of policies (which will later prohibit Internet cafes near primary and secondary schools), and the vicinity of universities has always been a prime location for opening Internet cafes;

Secondly, the style of decoration is similar to that of the Internet café in later generations, and the seats are customized, especially the chair that is very comfortable to sit on, which is very sincere and more attractive in the case of plastic chairs in other computer rooms;

In the end, the performance of the new computers in the new Internet café was generally higher than that of other computer rooms that had been open for a period of time, and the situation was quickly opened up with the promotion of "free computer for three-day trial operation".

After the Internet café business stabilized, Chen Fan also started his own plan.

People have ideals, what is the difference between people without ideals and salted fish?

It's just that sometimes "the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny", and many people's ideals will gradually be buried by reality, perhaps because the ability does not match the needs of the ideal, or the fate is not in their own hands, and they gradually become ordinary people.

Chen Fan turned out to be such an ordinary person, he gradually recognized the reality in his dreams even in his dreams, and finally was willing to be an ordinary person and lived an ordinary life to the age of 36.

The difference is that he suddenly "woke up", and when he woke up, of course he would no longer be willing to be ordinary. "Rebirth is the biggest golden finger", even if he was reborn as a mortal, he now wants to go against the sky.

However, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

He is only sixteen years old now, his family is very ordinary, he is still a common person, and his rebirth did not make him a rich second generation of princelings; His abilities are also ordinary, and rebirth has not allowed him to master any anti-heaven skills. He needs to slowly accumulate capital and take advantage of his rebirth.

Chen Fan now has no money, no status, and no status, and it doesn't matter if he is self-made, and his only advantage is to be reborn.

What is the most important thing about starting a self-made business? First, we must have a good project, and second, we must earn the first pot of gold. There is no shortage of good projects for reborn, but they can't do anything without money, so now Chen Fan's top priority is to earn his first pot of gold.

Of course, the way Chen Fan thought of making the first pot of gold was not to open an Internet café, not to mention that this Internet café did not belong to him at all, even if this Internet café belonged to him alone, but how much money could an Internet café make?

If you want to make more money, you have to open a chain of Internet cafes, but this process may not see cash for several years, because the money earned has become new computers and new Internet cafes. This does not meet Chen Fan's needs.

Chen Fan's goal is the NASDAQ Internet technology bubble in the United States.
