Chapter 280, Internet Cafe in the New Era
As virtual worlds continue to grow in popularity, the popularity of virtual worlds and virtual machines continues to rise around the world.
However, the serious shortage of supply of Galaxy Technology Group has also led to serious dissatisfaction among consumers around the world, and people express their dissatisfaction on the official website of Galaxy Technology Group every day.
These people who express dissatisfaction are not only from overseas, but also a large number of people in China, there is no way, the supply of only 700,000 a month, to meet the huge demand of hundreds of millions of domestic calculations, I really don't know that it will be the year of the monkey.
As for people abroad, they are even more dissatisfied, there is a supply of 700,000 in China a month, and there is only 300,000 in a month for such a huge group of people in the world.
The supply is seriously insufficient, so that there have been large-scale demonstrations in various countries around the world, and the people who have eaten melons and have nothing to do come to the embassy in China to express their dissatisfaction and hope that China can increase the supply to their own countries.
At the same time, in some countries and regions where public security management is relatively chaotic, robbery and theft cases caused by virtual machines can be said to be endless.
In the past, it was popular to rob banks, but now it is simply to rob the virtual machine experience store, and every time the goods arrive, someone will definitely come to rob, steal, etc., so that in these areas, the virtual machine experience store has to be guarded by armed police.
In addition, the price of virtual machines is also rising, only 20,000 Chinese dollars are needed to get the goods from Galaxy Technology Group, and the world's 9 major agents will double the sales as soon as they turn around, and then to the agents in various countries, and the price of this virtual machine is basically not lower than 100,000 Chinese dollars.
Despite the high price, virtual machines are still in short supply, and many people wave their bills and buy a virtual machine every day.
The high price and high demand have also given birth to a new way of experience, that is, Internet cafes, virtual machine Internet cafes.
Internet cafes are certainly no strangers to Chinese people, and young people can basically say that everyone should have been to Internet cafes.
Especially more than ten years ago, at that time, everyone's living conditions were still average, the price of computers was very high, and the key was that the cost of Internet access was not cheap.
So the family with a computer is not too big, but everyone likes to use the Internet, so the Internet café was born, and the business is booming.
In the 10 years from 2000 to 2010, the Internet café business was the most popular business in China, and it was also the most profitable business.
Countless ruffians and hooligans make a lot of money by opening Internet cafes, eating with their mouths full of oil, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars to open an Internet café, and they can recover their costs in just a few months, which shows the high profits, which is simply terrifying.
However, with the gradual improvement of people's living standards after entering 2010, coupled with the popularity of smartphones, Internet access has become cheaper and cheaper, and the business of Internet cafes has gradually faded.
But now, Internet cafes are starting to come back from the dead, but the new era of Internet cafes has no computers and is replaced by virtual machines.
The world's first virtual Internet café appeared here in the imperial capital university town, and the name is virtual world.
The Internet café covers a very large area, and it used to be a large shopping mall, but it was leased by the owner and converted into an Internet café.
It covers a large area, but the number of virtual machines is very small, only less than 100 virtual machines, of course, it can have 100 virtual machines, which also shows that this boss has eyes and hands.
You must know that the virtual machines on the side of Galaxy Technology Group are all subject to a reservation system, and each ID card can only buy one virtual machine, and when purchasing, one IP can only be bought.
When the first batch of virtual machines was booked, tens of millions of them were booked in just one minute, and the second batch of bookings has not started until now.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to get nearly 100 virtual machines from this channel, and you can only get virtual machines through other channels.
Virtual machines are very popular, too many, too many people are attracted by virtual worlds and virtual games, and this Internet café also sees this, so when the Internet café is still being renovated, it has launched a comprehensive publicity, and it has attracted a large number of people to come every day to see when this Internet café will open.
On the day of the opening, there were still two hours before the official opening at 8 o'clock, and at 6 o'clock, people were already waiting in line to experience the virtual world.
By 7 o'clock, there was already a long queue outside the entire Internet café, patiently waiting for the opening of the Internet café while playing with their mobile phones.
At 8 o'clock, as the door of the Internet café opened, the long queue began to surge, and the people in front of the queue rushed out and entered at the speed of a 100-meter race.
"I'm on the plane?"
Xie Liang, who rushed to the front, took out a 100-yuan bill and said to the waiter, he came to line up at 6 o'clock in the morning, and it was already cold at this time, but this did not prevent him from yearning for the virtual world and virtual games.
"Sir, we have a membership system here, and only members can board the plane."
The waiter looked at the red bill in his hand, smiled and said.
"Then help me get a membership."
Xie Liang said without the slightest hesitation.
"Okay, sir, our members here need to recharge at least 2,000 yuan, do you swipe the card or WeChat payment?"
The waiter said with a smile.
"2,000 yuan? How expensive~"
Xie Liang was slightly dumbfounded, he was a college student nearby, he didn't have a job yet, and he didn't actually have much money in his hands, counting living expenses, private money, etc., in fact, he only had a few thousand yuan in his pocket.
"We need 200 yuan for an hour of consumption here, and 2,000 yuan can only consume for 10 hours."
The waiter explained with a smile.
"200 pieces an hour?"
"Why don't you go and grab money~"
Xie Liang was dumbfounded for a moment, although he had expected that the consumption of this virtual Internet café would be very expensive, but he didn't expect that it would cost 200 fast in this hour, which was similar to grabbing money.
"Can't you do it? If you don't do it, get out of the way. ”
When Xie Liang hesitated, the people behind him were already impatient and urged, because someone had already completed the membership and began to run to experience the virtual world and virtual games.
"Do~"
Xie Liang gritted his teeth and said that he had been yearning for virtual worlds and virtual games for a long time.
Soon, Xie Liang completed the membership, hurriedly came to a virtual machine, and began to experience the virtual world and virtual games.
The front desk is busy here, although the price of 200 yuan an hour is very high, and you have to recharge 2000 yuan at one time to become a member.
But almost everyone who came here chose to apply for membership, and then rushed over to experience it, for fear that they would fall behind.
"Haha, Qin Fen, you still have the ability, 200 yuan an hour, if this virtual machine works 24 hours a day, you can earn 4,800 yuan a day, 140,000 yuan a month, our 100 virtual machines, you can earn 14 million a month, and you can earn 160 million a year."
In the office of the virtual world Internet café, the two bosses of the virtual world, Qin Fen and Dong Qing, were making tea while watching the lively scene of the virtual world Internet café.
"Make 160 million a year, so-so."
Qin Fen smiled and nodded and said.
"In fact, it is far more than earning 160 million a year, because we implement a membership system, plus this Internet café has a business, and other kinds of consumption, etc., our Internet café may make 200 million a year is not a problem."
"However, the number of virtual machines is too small, only 100, if there are thousands of virtual machines, then we can earn nearly 20 billion a year, this is profitable."
Dong Qing looked at the slightly empty Internet café, the entire huge area, 100 virtual machines are distributed, and most of the area is still relatively empty.
"Why don't you go to Qin Yi and ask for virtual machines, the more the better, we will open dozens or hundreds of virtual Internet cafes across the country, and then we can really lie down and count the money."
Dong Qing said tentatively, to be able to open this virtual Internet café, in fact, it was completely up to Qin Fen to get these 100 virtual machines, otherwise, even if it was an idea, without a virtual machine, it would be in vain.
"It's so easy to say, how can it be so easy, last time Qin Yi also promised to give 100 virtual machines for the sake of my father's face, now the output of virtual machines is too small, and it will take until the second half of the year to expand the output of virtual machines tenfold, and by that time, there will be no problem in getting tens of thousands of virtual machines."
Qin Fen shook his head a little helplessly, Qin Yi and Qin Fen are actually a family, a cousin relationship, Qin Yi's father is Qin Fen's father's younger brother.
For a long time, Qin Yi has also been more supportive of his family's entrepreneurship, and Qin Fen has also started his own business and done some business, but it has always been average and not very successful.
This time, he also saw the popularity of the virtual world, so he also cheekily asked Qin Yi for 100 virtual machines and partnered with people to open this virtual Internet café in the imperial capital.
"You are cousins, go to Qin Yi a few more times, bring your parents, if your grandparents are still there, it will be better, call together, this is an extra 100 virtual machines, you can earn hundreds of millions more a year."
"If we really wait until the virtual machines are on the market on a large scale, our virtual Internet cafes should be closed, so the most profitable time for us is now, and if we don't seize the opportunity now, it will not be so easy for us to make a fortune."
Dong Qing shook his head a little helplessly, and then thought about it and said.
He knows very well that the reason why his Internet café is very popular is entirely because the virtual world is very hot, and there are very few virtual machines, and everyone's demand for virtual world and virtual games is very strong, so it will be very popular.
If this virtual machine is listed on a large scale, when everyone has a virtual machine, this business will naturally not be as profitable as it is now.
