Chapter 17 Internet Cafes
"Cousin, what do you want to do?" Lying on the bed, Su Jin asked lightly.
Su Yun was stunned, he didn't seem to expect Su Jin to care about this, in his eyes, Su Jin was still a child, and his daily work was to have fun. These things have nothing to do with him.
"Oh, I don't want to do anything, I just want to find a job, I can make ends meet, don't let my family worry!" Without thinking much about it, Su Yun replied casually.
"If that's the case, I've got an idea, I don't know if you'd like to!" Su Jin said leisurely.
"What's the idea?" Su Yun was really a little surprised this time, and said secretly: "Could it be that this kid really has any ideas?" When I was at home, I listened to my parents say that Xiao Jin is now promising, and he wrote a book, but he still doesn't believe it, when I see him today, my first feeling is that this kid has become calm, and now I tell myself that I have an idea, but I want to hear what he has in mind! ”
"Make a deal!" Su Jin turned sideways, looked at Su Yun and said.
"Doing business?" Su Yun was not very interested, and there was a little disappointment in his tone, he thought to himself: "It seems that Xiao Jin is just casually looking for a topic, not really having any ideas, the topic of wanting to do business is too extensive, and I haven't thought about doing business, after all, people who do business can be seen everywhere now, and there are not a few who make a fortune from this, but I have no capital and no experience, so why do I do business!" Besides, there are many people who make a fortune in trading, but there are even more bankrupts! Now the most important thing for me is to find a stable job, my parents are not young, now I should let them have a good rest, and I can't let them worry about themselves! ”
"Hehe, cousin, don't worry, listen to me, since I said that I am doing business, I have my ideas, can you listen to the decision first!" Although Su Yun's tone was not obvious, Su Jin, who was a person in two lifetimes, could still hear Su Yun's thoughts, and then said.
"Oh, what do you think?" Su Yun said lightly.
"What I'm going to do is an Internet café!" Su Jin didn't care about Su Yun's attitude and said.
"Internet café?" Su Yun frowned, he didn't expect Su Jin to mention this. Internet cafes are a new thing that has only emerged this year, and Su Yun has been out of the rivers and lakes for two years, but he doesn't go much, and even if he is still mixing on the road, I'm afraid he won't go to the Internet café many times, after all, he is a figure on the road, and he usually goes to places like song halls and KTVs, and places like Internet cafes and game halls are places where those gangsters hang out, and they won't go.
However, he does know that the Internet café, this thing is similar to the game hall, in the past six months, his appearance has deeply affected the game hall in the ancient city, in just half a year, 80% of the game hall has been closed, even if it is 20% saved, it is still a remnant!
He had also had the idea of this before, but when he wanted some friends to inquire, he heard that this thing was very prosperous at the beginning, but with the first boom, soon large and small Internet cafes rose from the ground, and up to now there are nearly 600 Internet cafes in the entire ancient city, due to the excessive number of Internet cafes, they have to enter the vicious surname competition, and the current Internet fee has been at the beginning of five yuan an hour, down to the current one yuan an hour!
And the corresponding network maintenance fees, machine maintenance fees, rent, etc. have not changed, the current Internet café has not much profit, besides, open an Internet café and buy a batch of computers, the current computer is cheap for four or five thousand, and I get so much money!
Su Jin saw that Su Yun frowned and didn't speak, so he knew what he was thinking, but he didn't have any good way, he also wanted to open an Internet café as soon as possible, but who let him be reborn at this time! If it could have been a year earlier, no, only half a year earlier, opening an Internet café at that time would have been more lucrative than robbing a bank! At that time, the Internet café could be described with a very vivid word "said to be in the gold"! It's a pity that only the legendary Heavenly Dao can decide when he will be reborn...... Alas, I think too much, let's wash and sleep!
However, since Su Jin has raised this topic, he naturally has his thoughts, in his memory, the Internet cafes in the ancient city will soon usher in a large-scale crackdown, due to a series of reasons such as the Internet cafes operating without a license, luring teenagers, especially students, to indulge in the Internet, etc., the Municipal Public Security Bureau decided to investigate the Internet cafes in the city!
In fact, I don't know if it's the ancient city, this movement is in full swing all over the country! In just two months, more than 90 percent of the 600 Internet cafes in the ancient city have closed their doors, and the remaining fish that have slipped through the net can only operate secretly underneath, and they will no longer be in today's grand state.
But people from later generations know that in the era when the Internet was not popular, Internet cafes could not be banned! For Su Jin, who has witnessed the entire development process of Internet cafes, even in the most difficult times, he can find Internet cafes to surf the Internet!
It can be said that Internet cafes play a non-negligible role in the promotion of the Internet in China! It seems that even the political axe knew that it could not completely eliminate Internet cafes, so it quickly changed its strategy, and began to ban and turn into control, requiring all Internet cafes to go to the political axe level, obtain business licenses, and undergo regular inspections, and later there were regulations that everyone must use their ID cards to access the Internet.
Even such a crackdown was only after 2010, when the popularity of home computers and laptops reached almost 99% of the home broadband coverage, and Internet cafes gradually declined!
However, whether the Internet café will decline is obviously not Su Jin's concern, he only needs the prosperity of the Internet café! After all, he needs an Internet café, although there are some other considerations, but the main reason is because he needs an Internet café as an early cash cow!
You know, he is engaged in the cultural industry, and the early stage of the cultural industry is difficult to generate profits, such as the dream Internet café, at least four or five years, he doesn't expect him at all, occasionally make a lot of money to maintain the operation of the website is good, in fact, even after the future, he doesn't want the dream network to make money, in his plan, this website is best used as a platform to cultivate authors and provide creativity, there are many ways to make money, not bad this one!
So that he needed a cash cow to supply development in the early days, and in this period, what better option than an Internet café? As for the so-called price competition that others are worried about, it is no longer the best period, etc., Su Jin didn't take it to heart at all, relying on the cultural achievement system and his own competitiveness, he is not at the same level as the small bosses of those Internet cafes!
But the Internet café is not something that can be opened casually, at least for Su Jin, the person who helps him open the Internet café must first be honest and reliable, worthy of his trust. Second, to mix in the society, this society does not need to be too high-end, the general level of gangsters, you must know that the Internet café as the successor of the game hall is not less "taken care of" by many gangsters!
Originally, Su Jin had been worrying about who he was looking for, but when he suddenly saw Su Yun today, he was immediately overjoyed, it was really "nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there!" "Isn't Su Yun the best candidate for himself!
But how to convince Su Yun is a problem for Su Jin, and Su Jin, who knows Su Yun, knows very well what his thoughts are. And he can't tell him what he really thinks, if he really tells him the reason, not to mention that he won't believe it at all, even if he believes, how can he explain these sources, so Su Jin needs a suitable excuse!
"Well, cousin, that's the case, you also know that I published a book some time ago, made a small amount of money, I really don't know what to do, it just so happens that the president of the publishing house that released my book this time wants to open an Internet café, and asked me if I want to invest, I also invested in it on a whim. Like you, it's my dad who is looking for a job anyway, but it's not a matter of a while, it depends on luck and opportunity, anyway, you're okay during this time, it's better to help me first, and then you can go back when you find a job! ”
Su Jin thought for a while and said. There's no way, at the critical moment, you still have to pull the tiger skin of the fat boss! However, Su Jin is not afraid of being exposed, just mention this kind of thing to Mr. Fat at that time!
"The boss of your publishing house also runs an Internet café?" Su Yun shook his head in disbelief. Originally, the fat boss was also the number one person in the ancient city, so he would come to open an Internet café!
"Hehe, cousin, you don't know, this small business is small, big business is big! Like us, Mr. Wang is definitely not going to open an Internet café, he plans to open a chain, and the initial plan is to occupy the entire ancient city market! As for the Internet café that is opening now, it is just a pilot! Su Jin said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Su Yun thought about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong, this big boss wanted to open a chain store, and it seemed reasonable to open a pilot to test the water before, so he said: "Since this is the case, then okay, I will promise you!" ”
Su Jin suddenly laughed, laughing like a fox, Su Yun was a little regretful when he saw it, whether he was fooled, looking at Su Yun's expression Su Jin seemed to notice that he was a little carried away, and quickly restrained his smile and said, "No problem, so be it, if my cousin is fine, tell the family, come here, I'll tell you what to do then!" ”
