Expectations are always stressful.

At the end of November in the autumn, Berlin and Fang Yuan opened their first Internet café.

In the open field, there are computers neatly arranged. Although the simple decoration and decoration make this Internet café look less luxurious, at least it can be considered comfortable to look at...

The sound of firecrackers crackled through this remote street in the early morning.

The Internet café has officially opened.

What kind of mood it is, compared to nervousness and anticipation, when it opens, the most grinding thing is the anxiety about the flow of customers. Of course, even if the hearts of two people are bottomless, they will more or less have the fantasy of being full of the day. People are like this, not many people like to think about things badly, and even if there is, it can't happen to two people who have just started a business....

It's just that the setbacks came quickly.

The first day of business was different from the smooth sailing in Berlin and Fangyuan's heart.

The advertisements didn't seem to have much effect, and in the first few hours of the morning, only seven or eight young people came one after another. They paid more than a dozen yuan for the Internet, and they didn't mention any benefits for purchasing activities, sat at the computer desk, bought snacks and played games...

There were more than 30 computers, and only such a small part was opened, and Berlin and Fang Yuan were a little helpless in each other's eyes as they sat at the front desk of the Internet café. Fang Yuan didn't even have the heart to play the game.

As much as the expectation is, there is as much disappointment as there is. That's the drop.

Did something go wrong?

Berlin was somewhat distressed.

"Aren't the flyers we handed out useless? I've printed a thousand or so sheets, and it says when it opened, so it's impossible to be interested in seven or eight, right? I remember in our factory, every time during the lunch break, the two computers in the commissary were full of people...," Berlin asked.

Fang Yuan was also helpless.

He shook his head, unable to answer Berlin's question.

"We'll talk about it in the evening. The flow of people really shouldn't be so low..."Fang Yuan could only answer like this, if there was a problem, he could only solve the problem, and there was no other way.

You know, if seven or eight people, even if a few people continue to come in later, they can't sell for less than 100 yuan a day, so what will this business do? Electricity and rent are not enough....

And such a desertion made Berlin and Fang Yuan not in the mood to eat until noon.

The two thought a lot and thought about the reasons....

However, the worried Berlin and Fang Yuan were bothered on the surface, and did not care about some of the simplest things.

In the past few days of the preparation of the Internet café, the two of them have not been idle, and they have grasped all the details of the two Internet cafes clearly, but they can't grasp the most important problems in front of them.

Yes, the main target of propaganda for both was on the workers of the factory. The two also handled the publicity well and did a good job of the event. But the two didn't think about it, even if the allure of Internet cafes is great, how many people might not go to work to surf the Internet?

How is it possible not to go to work in order to go online?

This is not a student who can skip class at any time!

As for the activity, when you come to a new Internet café, even if you have a little interest, and you don't have a clear understanding of the configuration of the computer, the environment of the Internet café, etc., how can you buy it directly? The cost of a month is not low, and the money can't be thrown away, right?

Therefore, the worries of the two are superfluous.

Nervousness and apprehension make them ignore too much.

There is a saying that is indeed very good, standing on the cusp of the storm, it is a pig, and it can take off. What's more, it's two people who have made careful calculations and paid well?

After 12 o'clock, the number of people in Berlin and Fang Yuan skyrocketed in amazement.

The factory employees who were close to the distance came to the Internet café one after another to open the machine, and the Internet café started 7, 8, slowly, more than a dozen, more than 20, some came, some left, and some had fun to the end, and called to make up excuses to leave behind....

Even one or two students in school uniforms who came in at noon...

By 4 o'clock in the evening, the Internet café was full.

Yes, the full is so sudden.

More than 30 computers were occupied by everyone, and there were not even so many thirty or forty customers in the Internet café. Next to many computers, there are some young teenagers who can't find the machine and wait for a place. They looked at the game content on the computer with great interest, and from time to time they opened their mouths to discuss and laugh. So much so that with headphones, there are still annoying noises in the Internet café from time to time...

But customers who are focused on the game don't care about this either.

With Fang Yuan's notebook, from time to time the call of the 17th machine time, the young customer who went online just reluctantly left the chair, and the next second the position was occupied by others, and the network manager quickly came, I will pay 5 yuan. I'm afraid that if it's too late, I won't have his share.

The magic of computers is just that scary. The machine at night was basically not available, and it was not until 10 o'clock in the evening, in the dead of night, that it began to become a little scarce. Even if there are people who leave, there are also people who come at 10 o'clock on purpose, for the all-night activities from 11 o'clock to 8 o'clock in the day for 10 yuan... That's half the money less than it was during the day.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, although the ups and downs of the day made both of them tired, the excitement of the full number of customers in the evening made the two of them tired.

"How much did you earn on Internet today?"

In the evening, there were fewer people, Berlin no longer delivered drinks so frequently, and Fang Yuan didn't have to work so hard to remember the time, and the relaxed two discussed.

"How can I figure this out? See for yourself .."

Fang Yuan opened the drawer, facing a full dollar of five yuan, and a lot of large amounts of more than 10 yuan.

"Then I'll do the math. From 12 o'clock, there were more people, and the afternoon time was almost always full. Let's count it as a full number, from 12 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the evening, a 10-hour unit is 20 yuan, more than 30, plus the morning, at least more than 600. Of course, I'm talking about today's Internet fee, not counting the money for selling snacks, and the 10 yuan night fee for the Internet just now, etc., the night package belongs to tomorrow. Berlin excitedly said.

Seeing Berlin's excitement, Fang Yuan suppressed his emotions, coughed twice, and pretended to be calm, "Comrade Berlin, this is not right, this money is excited, I guarantee that it will be fuller from tomorrow, even if we collect thousands every day, we have invested more than 50,000, and it will take several months to make it back!" ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yuan remembered the event and said, "By the way, how much did our event sell today?" ”

"The monthly subscription of 200 yuan for the event, it seems that the price is a little too high, and there are three people who come to buy it in the evening." Berlin pursed his lips, a little disappointed. No one bought it, and today there are at least hundreds of people, large and small.

"Then if the sales are not good this week, we will reduce the price?" Fang Yuan asked.

Berlin shook his head, "How can this work?" At the very least, this month should be passed. Otherwise, if you suddenly drop the price, what do those people who bought it before think? ”

"It's also... You've thought it through. ”

Fang Yuan nodded.

In fact, the two of them don't particularly care about this matter, even if they buy less, the income of the Internet café today has satisfied the two of them. It's just that they are not reconciled that this plan did not work.

"I'll come and see tonight, you go back to sleep first, and come over tomorrow to pick me up." Suddenly, Fang Yuan looked at the time on his phone, frowned, and said, "It's late, you have to go back." ”

Berlin was stunned and shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, I'll work the night shift." ”

"Come on, don't grind, hurry back, I'm really sleepy, I won't be polite to you." Fang Yuan directly cut off the excuse that Berlin wanted to make up later.

“....”

The two of them had actually planned it.

After all, Internet cafes are open 24 hours a day, and so are other Internet cafes. But if they have employees, they don't want to pay for it. The two only set shifts to change shifts, and at that time it was not decided who would be day and who would be night.

"Okay, then I'll go back to sleep now, and I'll take over early tomorrow." Berlin could only nod. In the beginning, both of them had to work hard, and they were both ready for it.

"Don't worry, don't dare to sleep, it's okay to come later, I'm in charge of more than a thousand yuan, how can I sleep" Fang Yuan teased.

Berlin twisted his neck, stretched his muscles, and smiled helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to his words.

"That's right, Berlin."

But Fang Yuan, who had just urged Berlin to leave, shouted to him again when Berlin was about to leave.

"What's wrong...."

Fang Yuan hesitated slightly, and said, "Your brain is so bright, I have a friend who has a difficulty, I've been thinking about it for a day, there is really no way, I'll ask you what you think." ”

"Difficult?" Berlin frowned, Fang Yuan rarely asked him to help with this kind of thing. I didn't mind, and said, "You can say it." ”
