Chapter 473: Online Game Profiteering
Because the initial funds are relatively tight, the decoration is relatively simple, the warehouse itself is nearly 30 meters high is a three-story hall-style building, each floor has nearly 10,000 square meters, Tu Fei and the boss they thought a lot of thought before the initial dilapidated warehouse out of the first floor such a small piece of open to return funds, the back can only come slowly.
According to Tu Fei, such a large warehouse, let alone open an Internet café, is enough to open a large supermarket, but the rent is cheap to believe, renting this warehouse for a year's rent, but the two small Internet cafes on his street are about the same, the reason is that the location of this warehouse is not on the street, and it has been abandoned for a long time, and the old man of his family happens to be the director of this pipe factory that has almost closed down, so he rented it with a rent that is almost like nothing.
In addition to the decoration on the ground to lay floor tiles and scrape the wall, almost nothing was invested, the decoration on the wall plagiarized what Lin Jia said about the small city of the Imperial League Internet City, directly on the wall with a colorful huge animation poster, the poster is still Lin Jia in the "Legend" official website download of high-definition legendary wallpaper pictures, the boss used his power for personal gain, let the company do advertising posters to customize the artist, even the big pillars in the warehouse are wrapped with this kind of poster, in order to decorate the warehouse fashion and beautiful, During this time, the boss almost didn't exhaust a few boys in the company who were specifically responsible for advertising artists.
Not to mention, after a group of artists' design, a dilapidated and dilapidated warehouse with ventilation on all sides has been transformed into such a luxurious and fashionable high-end theme Internet café, and several areas divided by the game style have their own unique styles, just like the "Ginkgo Village" area. Three or four hundred machines were enclosed with a low fence made of what looked like a mess of branches cut down from the outside, and the pillar in the middle of the ginkgo village was wrapped in old bark and disguised as a large tree, and the fake branches and trunks were also spoofed with many charms, and the trunks were pasted with yellow paper talismans on the ground ghosts, which made people doubt the professionalism of the author. According to the network administrator kid admitted afterwards. It took him several all-nighters to draw it...
The border village is similar to the ginkgo village. There are also three or four hundred computers, but they are surrounded by wooden screens, and it doesn't look like the walls of a border village. Border Village and Ginkgo Village are okay to say, but the more spoofs are the orc tombs, natural caves and beach mining areas, which are the places we are used to calling skeleton caves and zombie caves in the game, and there are actually boxes over there...
The service desk is the most exciting place in the entire Internet café, a network manager MM wearing a Beechcraft veteran clothes is in charge of registering for the machine with a smile, Lin Jia almost fainted when he saw it for the first time, he swears! He never thought "Beechcraft Veteran" was so sexy and cute! The main thing is that the Beechcraft veteran will also use the computer!
Although the many counters in a circle next to them are called weapons shops, pharmacies, jewelry stores, bookstores, and clothing stores, the counters of weapons shops sell instant noodles, cigarettes, biscuits, and other necessary "arms" all night.
The pharmacy sells mineral water, Pepsi Cola, and fresh oranges, and some metal ornaments, small jewelry and other game peripheral products sold in jewelry stores. The bookstore sells land related to games such as game cards and "Legends".
THE CLOTHING STORE IS A PLACE TO SELL SOME COSPLAY COSTUMES, THAT IS, THOSE GHOST SUITS, DEMON ROBES, AND GOD OF WAR ARMOR WORN BY THE SERVICE STAFF IN THE INTERNET CAFÉ, BUT THESE COSPLAY CLOTHES ARE DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL GRADES, ONE IS A VERY REALISTIC KIND OF PROFESSIONAL COSPLAY COSTUMES, AND THE OTHER IS A REPLICA VERSION THAT LOOKS LIKE, BUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER PLAYED LEGENDS WILL NOT FIND IT STRANGE TO WEAR TRENDY CLOTHES THAT GO OUT AND HAVE NEVER PLAYED LEGENDS. They also have a way to go, Lin Jia put forward these ideas. THEY WERE REALLY ABLE TO FIND RELATED INDUSTRIES FOR BULK CUSTOMIZATION, EXCEPT THAT COSPLAY CLOTHES SHOULD NOT SELL VERY WELL. Those imitations of legendary jewelry are sure to be a hit!
A tempered "glass ring" is only 5 yuan, a sandalwood "hexagonal ring" is only 15 yuan, a red copper "bronze ring" is 28 yuan, and a "horn ring" is only 15 yuan, pay attention! It's a real horn product!
As for the more high-end rings in the game, you can see them here, but the materials made are better and the styles are more exquisite, of course, due to the purchasing power of ordinary players, such as ruby rings, platinum rings, dragon rings, etc., are divided into many grades according to different materials, although there are real ruby products and platinum products, but they are placed on the counter, they are all high-fidelity products, and a few specially customized genuine goods are locked in the safe of the fattened office.
Speaking of Tu Fei's office, it is impossible not to mention the sign hanging on his office, which reads "Beechcraft Warehouse" in small red letters next to "Warehouse Heavy Land!" Miscellaneous people and mythical beasts are not allowed to enter! ”。
Don't say it!
After Lin Jia, a madman, came up with an idea that opened in a new Internet café, it simply made the players who came to the Internet crazy! Have they ever seen such a perverted Internet café? Not to mention anything else, those small metal jewelry that is actually extremely cheap are sold out of stock on the same day! As a result, the turnover of the Internet café that day did not make much money by selling those small jewelry! Many players buy one for every small piece of jewelry, saying that they want to take it back and collect it! Tu Fei had to urgently call a friend who specializes in making trinkets, silver jewelry, and goldware, and asked him to make a large number of them overnight and spare them the next day!
At the end of the day, when Lin Jia, my brother, the boss, and Tu Fei were in the office ledger in the evening, everyone sighed, the online game industry is really profitable! What kind of profiteering method? Tell you the cost of those small jewelry, and you will know what a profiteering is, tempered glass rings for five cents, sandalwood rings for three cents, horn rings for two cents and five, red copper rings for six cents...
This is still after the special requirements for style and exquisiteness, if it is shoddy, it is cheaper! Do you believe it or not? Go to the store at No. 813 Hanzheng Street, Wuhan, and buy it in large quantities for 100 yuan a sack! The store specializes in this kind of craft ring that requires a pattern type, and the imitation is made with a real almost impossible to see the authenticity!
It must be said that players who play online games are willing to spend money, not only these cheap small jewelry are sold out, but even those Lin Jia went to the silverware store to order them and put them on the counter as decorations. I didn't expect that there would be a lot of people who bought silver products that were snatched up, and those silver products were no better than those glass horns, and the price of any one was 88 and 166, and there was no counteroffer!
Lin Jia was stimulated by this incident. Immediately said to Tu Fei: "Tomorrow starts!" As long as it is a player who comes to our Internet café to make a member, everyone will give these small jewelry! Get those custom-made gadgets out! Write a poster and go out tomorrow. Members who recharge 5,000 yuan at an Internet café will receive a platinum ring worth 980 yuan, and those who have accumulated consumption of 5,000 yuan will also be sent! Estimate all those little jewelry! As long as it is recharged or the cumulative consumption in our Internet café reaches the corresponding amount, the members will be sent! ”
Tu Fei and the boss were suddenly stunned by Lin Jia's whimsy. After a long while, the boss looked at Lin Jia stupidly and said, "Isn't it?" It is not enough for ordinary players to recharge a few hundred yuan as a member, and recharge 5,000 yuan at one time? How long will it take to be online? Even if you don't do anything every day, it's almost a year since you just surf the Internet! ”
Lin Jia rolled his eyes and said, "Boss! Why can't you turn your head around! Why did I want you to start a side hustle before? Now this warehouse is so big! Empty is also empty! Restaurants, supermarkets, saunas, massages and so on, you can't serve one-stop?
Make our membership card into a recharge card, as long as we open it, we can directly deduct the amount of money in the membership card! You don't need money to eat a fast food? Don't you have money for those goods at the bar?
How troublesome it is for people to pay for things after paying the Internet bill! I see that you are learning from our small city's Imperial League Internet City, to ask someone to design a set of Internet café customer software, to make an Internet café 'online store' so that players can directly through the 'store' function on the computer when they go online, and when they want to buy something, they don't have to shout at the network manager with their throats, and they don't have to run errands by themselves. How wonderful! People are lazy! Especially for people who play games, I often see people whose mouths are dry and reluctant to leave their positions and run to the bar to buy water to drink, afraid that they will hang up or something as soon as they leave, we provide convenient and fast consumption channels, which also promotes the consumption of players**, and the money is not spent in a hurry!?
5000 bucks? I'll tell you that 5,000 yuan is still less! A gold bar is 35 pieces without a counteroffer! A Walmart suit is hundreds! Wait for our Internet café virtual equipment trading platform to be built, and buy a piece of brand-name equipment on the equipment trading platform. 5,000 yuan is not enough! I now have 3 extra bone jade scepters in my hands! Throw it away, how many people will buy it!? ”
Tu Fei and the boss are dizzy, completely dizzy! No wonder people say that there is a generation gap every six months. Their minds have completely kept up with the times that don't jump!
"But we don't have that much virtual gear on hand right now!? There is nothing to sell when the virtual equipment trading platform is built? We can't just do business in District 10, right? And I've asked about the Internet café platform you mentioned, and it's quite expensive if you specifically find someone to do it! And it's not something that can be designed in a day or two! "After all, Tu Fei is a person who runs an Internet café, and he thinks about problems a little faster than the boss.
Lin Jia thought for a while and said, "That's it!" I'll call back to the small city and ask, let's just have a joint venture with the Imperial League Network City in the small city! Let them copy a copy of the Internet café platform to us, and then we will find someone to modify the function, and then contact the professional players on the Imperial League side, and display the equipment data on their side with our side in real time, what we want is a reputation for having a large amount of equipment for sale! They can also expand the sales market of equipment, which is a win-win position, which is equivalent to us helping them sell, they also help us sell, we not only sell equipment, but also collect equipment! Buy low and sell high, you old profiteers won't understand, right? Lin Jia said excitedly, but he didn't realize that what he said was quite confusing, and when he saw that the few people in front of him were all looking at him dumbfounded, he couldn't help but add: "You don't understand what I'm talking about?" ”
"I don't understand!" Several people collectively shook their heads.
Lin Jiahan organized his words and said: "To put it simply, I mean to share the equipment information that the two of us have, and take the goods from each other at a slightly lower price than selling them to those players, just like a player in Wuhan who has taken a fancy to a piece of equipment in our Internet café in a small city, you can also buy it directly from us, we are equivalent to charging a handling fee, and they are the same, so that we are equivalent to mastering the purchase customer groups of the two cities!" But in fact, we are much cheaper than the small city, even if we take their equipment, we just charge the handling fee to die, Wuhan's consumption level is much higher than that of the small city, the same piece of equipment, sold in the small city for 50 yuan, sold in Wuhan for 100 people still have to fight! Why don't you do this empty glove Aries business! ”
When they heard it, their eyes lit up! Thinking that he understood what Lin Jia meant, the boss rushed and said, "I know!" Do you mean that we don't have a professional player base for the time being, and we haven't established a delivery channel for the time being, but we can help them sell equipment to earn the difference, and then make our own money after we have established a professional player base and equipment source? ”
Lin Jia giggled and laughed: "That's pretty much it!" ”
The boss couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why do you kid have such a long head!?" You can also think of this thing about borrowing chickens to lay eggs!? ”
Tu Fei rolled his eyes: "Borrow chickens to lay eggs?" No way! He's familiar with this life! Lao Tzu was the first old hen he raised! He's a profiteer! ”
The boss immediately made a decision: "Then this matter will be handed over to you!" Are you familiar with the boss of the Imperial League Internet City over there? ”
Lin Jia rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean I'm familiar?" Their business model is still what I suggested! My girlfriend is still in charge of their business! ”
The old brother laughed: "You kid is okay!" The brain is spinning fast! I see you called your girlfriend to Wuhan to develop in our Internet café! ”
Lin Jia thought about it, and he had long wanted to call Meimei to Wuhan, so as not to fall in love with each other all day long, and the phone bill during this period of time would cost him a lot of money, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll get in touch! ”
Lin Jia called back to the Imperial League, asked Meimei to transfer the phone to Ding Xiang and Zhao Xiaomei, and told the two turtle chicks about the matter, and the two turtles agreed on the spot, Zhao Xiaomei really laughed: "I said that your kid has such a good idea, why didn't you tell us earlier?" The emotion is going to do it yourself! I'm telling you! It's okay for us to work together, but I'm not going to let go of my eyebrows! You kid is alone in the empty room! Oh, hehehe~"
Lin Jia said one word: "I rely on you!" ”
