When consuming, the front desk staff should hold the card, manually enter the number into the computer, query the balance in the VIP card from the computer's archive, and then confirm by the customer after consumption.

When Wen Shuo and Skullcap first talked about the implementation of the VIP model in Internet cafes, they inadvertently inspired Lin Bo's creation and development.

The bandwidth leased line is successfully installed, and the network performance is debugged on the same day.

Lin Bo brought a box, mysteriously invited Wen Shuo and Skullcap into the small office, and then opened the box and took out a strange white hard plastic instrument from it, and held a few things similar to bank cards in his hands.

"What is this?" Wen Shuo looked at the instrument, and said with a look full of hope: "I warn you, don't let Lao Tzu guess......"

Skullcap couldn't help but laugh.

What a fat man!

Lin Bo was embarrassed to swallow the words that had just reached his mouth, scratched his messy hair and said: "It was the abandoned bank card reader and POS machine that I found, and it was made after preliminary repairs...... As long as it is connected to our host, install a small simple reading software, take the magnetic card and swipe it on the card reader, the software can immediately read the balance in the magnetic card, and set the consumption through the software, and automatically increase the balance!

Skullcap Zhi showed a look of surprise and looked at Lin Bo with great admiration.

She really didn't expect that Limbo would have such an inspirational idea, and besides, use discarded card readers and POS machines...... Will he fix it himself?

"Okay, Mr. Lin. Wen Shuo was also a little puzzled by this: "You still repair this thing?"

"Hey, in fact, this thing is not completely scrapped, but too many people don't understand it. Lin Bo hehe, said: "The motherboard and memory module are not a big problem, the CPU is fine, I found a friend to repair it and continue to use it, it cost a total of more than 1,400 yuan, and then I programmed it myself, and made some changes to the original program software decoding, but ...... I haven't tried it yet, and I don't know if it will work or how effective it will be. ”

"Talent!" Although the fat man doesn't understand this knowledge, he has been running an Internet café and a software company for so long, and he probably still knows that Lin Bo said it simply, but in fact, the depth of professional knowledge and difficulties involved in it are quite high.

Lin Bo shook his head proudly and said, "This is the first testing machine, it's too rough, to put it bluntly, it's just a patchwork of old shells, and the magnetic card is also old." ”

"Alright, you can put it to trial. Wen Shuo readily agreed.

"If it is successful and it is really put into use in the Internet café, you need to order a magnetic card. Skullcap smiled and said, "How much does it cost?"

Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Bo.

Lin Bo said: "I have consulted, start with a batch of 200 cards, and a card is about four yuan." ”

"Okay!" Wen Shuo waved his hand and said, "Let customers pay for it, ten yuan for a card!"

"Wen Shuo, the cost of my machine and programming combined, you see ......" Lin Bo said: "An Internet café is an Internet café, and a company is a company...... We can't mix things up, it's better to count them separately, you say, right?"

Wen Shuo glared: "Do the experiment, it's good if I don't charge you money, you go to someone else to try, who let you get it?"

"Hmm. Limpo scoffed—that's true.

Wen Shuo looked at Skullcap Zhi, and then glanced at Lin Bo, who understood, nodded with a smile, and picked up the machine and walked out.

Of course, Skullcap Zhi could see that there seemed to be some little secret between Wen Shuo and Lin Bo, and she deliberately hid it from herself, but she didn't bother to ask, she still had a little secret in her heart, and she hesitated to tell Wen Shuo......

But now, huh!

Don't tell him!

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Skullcap was strolling around the campus and had a long phone call with her parents – today was her birthday.

Unlike many classmates who will have a meal together on this day, or even tell their friends in advance to have a happy and lively birthday, Skullcap did not mention her birthday to her classmates.

But in the past few days, every time she thinks that her birthday is coming, a thought will involuntarily flash in her mind, do you want to tell the fat man? Studying alone in the capital, perhaps, she needs a best friend to accompany her on her birthday, right?

However, the inner high personality and the girl's reserve made her not do this.

Although she had just spoken to her parents on the phone, she was now more and more homesick.

Suddenly, the mobile phone rang and remembered, she took it out and looked at it, it was a call from the Internet café, pressed the answer button, she smiled and asked, "Hey, fat?"

"Why did you keep busy on your phone just now?" Wen Shuo's tone was slightly resentful and suspicious, and said, "Who have you been talking to for so long?"

"Can't you?" Skullcap Zhi was a little surprised, and immediately understood why the fat man was a little angry - this damned, stingy fat man had a small heart and was still suspicious...... He is simply boring and unreasonable......

Skullcap was suddenly a little proud.

It's an interesting feeling.

Wen Shuo was choked for a moment and said, "What's that, hurry up and come to the second store, there is something to discuss." ”

"It's so late......"

"Where are you, aren't you in the dormitory, who are you with?" Wen Shuo asked repeatedly, and immediately realized that his tone was a little anxious and unreasonable, so he quickly slowed down his tone and said, "I'm sorry, my attitude just now was a little excessive, please forgive me...... Actually, it's mainly because everyone has been busy preparing for so long, and if you don't come, so many people will be waiting......"

"A lot of people, what have you done?" said Skullcap suspiciously.

"You'll know when you're here. The fat man said with some uncertainty and some pleading.

Skullcap Zhi's heart softened and said, "I called my parents just now, well, I'll go over right now, five minutes, okay?"

"Okay!"

The fat man's voice was obviously much higher-pitched, and there was a kind of excitement that couldn't wait.

After hanging the line, Skullcap Zhi wondered - what was the excitement of the dead fat man? Could it be that the set of things that Lin Bo had just researched was very successful? However, it was not so excited that it would be like this, and there were still many people waiting for it......

Skullcap shook her head and walked outside the school.

Coming out of the small south gate, I saw that the No. 1 store of Shuoyuan Internet Cafe was brightly lit, which was not surprising, and now Shuoyuan Internet Cafe was almost full before twelve o'clock every night. Strangely, the second store next door, which has not yet opened, is pitch black.

The fat man stood outside the door and waited, and when he saw Skullcap Zhi coming, he hurriedly took a few steps up and dragged her to the door of the second shop.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?" asked Skullcap Zhi.

"Confidential!" Wen Shuo smiled, took Skullcap's slightly tight, and struggled a few times, went up the steps, and pushed open the wide glass door.

The large glass windows and doors of the No. 2 store were covered with a black cloth from the inside, so that the outside light could not shine in, and it was so dark that you could not see your fingers, except for a small, faint spot of light with a green glow in the lower right corner of each computer monitor.

Lifting the black curtain and taking two steps inside, Wen Shuo suddenly let go of Skullcap's hand and took a step back.

Skullcap Zhi became more and more surprised, and was about to ask, when suddenly, in the innermost northwest corner, near the bend leading to the bathroom, a computer monitor lit up, and then, next to this computer, also lit up......

The third, fourth, and fifth stations......

The monitors of each computer light up in turn, with an interval of less than half a second, and in the pitch black environment, it is like a domino being pushed, the light and shadow flicker, and gradually light up, which is quite a graceful sense of layering. One by one, row by row, the dynamic brilliance of great artistic beauty, and the color of the monitor desktop has also been carefully set, with a fantastic successive enhancement and weakening, colorful and layered, harmonious......

When all the 100 computers were lit up, the melodious piano melody sounded in the stereos of all the computer configurations.

Accompanied by the melody, a crisp and immature girl's voice sang:

"Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy ......"

The computer screen began to flicker and change, and at the same time, the screensaver mode was changed, and the words "Happy Birthday" were displayed on each computer, and the colorful font slowly fluttered, accompanied by flowers, balloons, birds, and white clouds.

Skullcap was stunned.

A feeling that has never been experienced, experienced, like electricity, numb and crispy, from the center of the foot to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the center of the foot, the palm of the hand, her heart suddenly contracted, let go, the scene in front of her suddenly became hazy, but before she could be sober and moved, she had unconsciously shed tears, blurred her vision, she took off her glasses in a trance, rubbed her eyes, wiped her tears, bit her lips lightly, moved like a tide into her mind, filled with emotions, she was a little at a loss, a little flustered, and more moved, Pleasantly surprised, this extremely artistic beauty is likely to be the first scene to appear in this world.

A pair of warm big hands gently stroked her shoulders, and the fat man said softly: "Qin Zhi, happy birthday!"

In the colorful light, melodious melody, and crisp singing, more than a dozen figures stood up from under the computer desks and from the corners, the door of the small office opened, and the candlelight and shadows were full of shadows, and seven or eight people crowded out of the office, and they walked along the path between the rows of computer desks with a small cart.

Except for Qu Yan who was pushing the cart, everyone else was clapping their hands gently and rhythmically, while slowly singing: "I wish you a happy birthday, ......"
