Chapter 228: A holographic Internet café with a booming business

The next day, a holographic Internet café in Shangdu was actually a serious Internet café before, and the owner was the fat middle-aged uncle.

On the 15th, he went to the flagship store of Shangdu to purchase 75 sets of holographic equipment, hired personnel to work and install the machine overnight, and finally completed all the upgrades at about half past four in the morning that night.

It happened that he prepared in advance, so that he could do it in one night, although he didn't sleep all night, but the fat uncle was not tired.

And this morning, he saw that the spacious corridor was actually full of groups of young customers who had come early, and this scene also made him very happy, sleep? Sleep a ball!

The fat Internet café owner is also very business-minded, and he has not been idle for a week after the comprehensive upgrade of the hardware package, this time is just the time to advertise, holographic Internet café, this concept is fresh, and the current PHC popularity is so hot, and then advertising, it will soon have a lot of popularity.

No, these customers are here now, because the advertising flyer says that it will open early this morning.

At ten o'clock, the middle-aged uncle asked the waiter in the store to open the door to welcome customers, and suddenly a large wave of netizens poured in, many of whom were old customers.

The fat uncle helped at the front desk with a slightly contradictory look that was obviously tired but full of energy, and today was the first day, so he had to make sure everything was arranged and on the right track before leaving.

", 30 pieces/hour? Boss, don't you want this Internet café to be so pitiful, this is still a member price, and non-members actually cost 37.5 yuan. ”

"That's it, we don't object to the price increase, but you can't stand it if you directly triple the increase, and it was only 10 yuan per hour for non-members before."

"And there's no free trial, so it's free on the first day."

A large number of young customers in front of the stage immediately talked about it when they saw the consumption quotation table, and everyone felt that it was too expensive, after all, everyone can accept the price reduction, and it is difficult to accept the price increase.

The fat uncle said with a complaining face: "You can't say that, everyone, prices have risen year by year these years, and the Internet café I opened has never increased in price from a year and a half ago to now, and I think that I am very worthy of consumers to do a small business." ”

He added: "The price of PHC is a set of five computers, and it takes up a lot of space, now after upgrading to a holographic Internet café, a set of PHC machines occupies the space of the original three computer desks, and now it is 75 sets of full play, my shop rent expires this year, and it will rise by 25% if I sign it again, and all costs and expenditures have soared, and I can't do this business if it doesn't rise." ”

"Forget it, open a card for me, is it the same as before?"

"Don't say it, turn it on!"

Everyone thinks that the boss is good, and the old customers also know that the owner of the Internet café is quite fair, at least for a year and a half, the Internet fee will not be raised, and the infrastructure is maintained well, and the internal environment has been OK.

"The same, the same, the ID card is opened, and the previous membership points are still valid." The boss said with a smile.

Suddenly, a large wave of netizens rushed to open the card, only 75 positions, but there were more than 300 people at the scene, and some people left when they saw too many people, but soon there was an endless stream of a lot, seeing such a strong popularity, the middle-aged uncle felt that most of the people couldn't sleep today, and he had to immediately negotiate the transfer of the third floor today, and then expand the PHC to 200 sets.

Such a strong popularity gives the middle-aged uncle the feeling that he has traveled back to the era of the most golden period of Internet cafes in the past few years.

Soon, after everyone complained about the expensive Internet fee, they immediately put this matter behind them, and one by one they were impatient to activate the cards, scrambling to seize the seat.

75 positions, three or four hundred people came, proper monks have more meat and less meat!

The buddy who was the first to activate the network card immediately occupied a seat nearby, and it was really spacious, almost occupying the seats of the original three computers, and the seats were all presented in a matrix layout, this guy immediately sat down on a comfortable sofa, in front of him was a spacious vacant curved desktop, which could be moved forward several meters, and then this position vacated a large space, which could easily play games similar to "Rhythm Lightsaber".

The reason for having a curved desktop that can be pushed forward is that it needs to be used to place peripherals such as a mouse and keyboard, although the gaming experience brought by the PHC will allow the entire view to be occupied by the game screen, and it can also be interacted with with the touch of a floating panel.

But if it's a game, for gamers, it will become very uncomfortable, so the peripherals of the mouse and keyboard will definitely not be completely eliminated, but the PHC office, then there is no need for the peripherals of the mouse and keyboard, and the floating panel and the housekeeper assistant have been perfectly solved.

At this time, this guy sat on a new and comfortable sofa, and after turning on the machine, he put his hands on the curved desktop, and after a while, he saw only five or six three-dimensional icons suspended on the desktop of the curved table, which was the same as the simplified holographic desktop of the Internet café computer, but this one was three-dimensional.

There are game menu icons, my PHC device, browsers, social tools, and so on.

This guy has obviously learned about it on the Internet, even if it is the first time he comes into contact with PHC, but he quickly gets started and becomes proficient, I saw him reach out and skillfully touch the game menu icon, and soon the rest of the icons on the desktop are free falling and disappearing like gravel, which is also very surprising to him.

After the game menu icon opened, the major games were listed in front of him with their trademark logos as new icons.

Steam client, Blizzard Battle.net client, beta client, and more.

This guy "grabbed" the icon of Blizzard's Battle.net client platform to open it, and then logged in to his Battle.net account, and immediately popped up the floating panel of Battle.net in front of him, listing Blizzard's "StarCraft 2", "World of Warcraft", "Diablo", "Hearthstone", "Overwatch" and other games.

However, there are only two games with the "Enter Game" icon lit up, namely Overwatch and World of Warcraft, and both are PHC beta versions, which means that the final official version has not yet been launched.

In fact, so far, no large third-party game developer has released the official version of the game on the PHC side, because it is really not so fast, and the quality must be guaranteed, so as not to smash the signboard of the heavyweight IP.

But everyone is so impatient to launch the beta version, obviously all in order to "grab the mountain", the stupid bird still flies first, if it is one step behind the competition, let alone eating meat, there may not be meat residue.

But this guy has already understood.,This time it's for the cool "Overwatch",This is a first-person shooter game.,This month just ushers in the fifth anniversary of this game.,Although it's often ridiculed to be cool now.,But "Overwatch" became a phenomenal game hit that year as soon as it came out.,It used to be super hot.,Now it's actually okay.,Although domestic players are not as good as before.,But foreign countries are not bad.。

After he entered the game, he immediately found that the perspective in front of him was completely covered by the panoramic picture, and the background of the game interface was in the picture of "Lijiang Tower", as if he was immersed in the scene from the first perspective.

There is an exclamation mark in the lower left corner of his field of vision, which is a simple tutorial guide under the PHC version, which can be clicked with your hand or with the mouse on the screen.

Bring up the panel in the game, enter the "Quick Game" to try the waters, and after more than 30 seconds, you will be matched.

Then I chose a magic chicken (Pharaoh's Eagle), and a few paragraphs of text information jumped out of the public frequency.

Everyone: it!

Everyone:?

Everyone: the ......

The guy who chose the French chicken was amazed by the picture in front of him, the three-dimensional sense and distance under the first perspective are too strong, especially the panoramic perspective presented in front of him, what he saw was the first perspective of the picture in the game, as if he was in it.

At the beginning of the game, the map came to Nubani, a map of the cart that occupied the point, he chose the eagle of the pharaoh, and after going out of the door, he pressed the "Shefort" skill, and suddenly the entire first perspective in front of him immediately soared into the sky, at that moment this guy couldn't help but sigh, the inexplicable feeling was particularly exciting, overlooking the familiar map scenery from a panoramic perspective, the strong three-dimensional sense and sense of distance were very shocking, and the game screen was as great as ever.

He tried a few shots, and it was very enjoyable, and it wasn't long before he became addicted to the watchman's ass.

On the other side, a player on Unit 7 is experiencing the audio game "Rhythm Lightsaber"; One of the players on Unit 17 is playing CS:GO; A player on Unit 21 is playing World of Warcraft; A player on number 47 playing the Call of Duty franchise......

The vast majority of players play FPS or RPGamp; amp; MMOPG games, these types of games have a natural advantage on the PHC platform, but they are MOBAamps from God's perspective; amp; There are few people who play esports games such as RTS.

But despite this, you can still play e-sports games such as "League of Legends" on PHC, but because of the game's attributes, it will not be as shocking as shooting games or role-playing games, after all, e-sports games need to consider the problem of extreme operation, and the perspective will be very important.

Even so, under the PHC version, the graphics have been epicly improved.

In three or five minutes, all 75 seats in the holographic Internet café were occupied, and there were still a lot of people waiting.

When the owner of the Internet café saw such a hot business, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile in his heart, even with a happy expression on his face, it was proper to fill up 24 hours a day according to this posture.

He didn't think about whether this would be just a short-term heat, this kind of thing holographic Internet café owner didn't think about it at all, his judgment was simple and rude, because for young people with a monthly salary of three or five thousand, they couldn't afford to buy a set of 50,000 PHC equipment, and for young people with a monthly salary of only about three or four thousand who were less than the tax threshold, they couldn't afford to buy a set of PHC without eating or drinking for a year.

A set of PHC of 50,000 yuan is really something they can't afford, just like the golden age of Internet cafes in the past few years, because ordinary families can't afford computers, but they can't afford young people and want to play, which will inevitably give rise to a rental supply and demand relationship like Internet cafes.

This part of the population is a very large group, 50,000 yuan a set of PHC can't afford it, but if you spend dozens or 100 yuan or something to go to a holographic Internet café or holographic Internet café to experience for a few hours, obviously there is no economic pressure, you can go three or five times a month, and it is not unacceptable to spend about three or four hundred yuan.

At least holographic Internet cafes and holographic Internet cafes can provide a platform for these consumers who cannot afford to play PHC games.

It is no wonder that He Hao attaches great importance to holographic Internet cafes and actively promotes them, as long as ordinary consumers go to these PHC service places to consume, they are indirect PHC users and become the basic users who have entered the PHC ecological chain.
