"Chen Sheng, in one hour, 37 people have played on the three devices, and some people have played several times, almost 60 rounds." Angel recorded for an hour, while others ordered beer, popcorn, chicken wings, sausages and other foods, watching a football game they didn't understand on the screen, and Red Bull commercials were interspersed.

"20 bureaus for one device per hour, that is, $5 in the account, ten hours a day, $50 a day, 1,500 a month?" Chen Zhiwen probably calculated, this is just a simple estimate, and there will definitely be many inaccuracies.

"According to this calculation, the bar will recover the cost in 2-3 months, but with the electricity bill and other factors, especially at night, there will definitely not be as many people as it is now, and it is estimated that the average bar will return to its cost in 4-6 months." Cheng Weibin also said that their team had actually collected a lot of data before.

"But this bar bought three game consoles, and they were all full during peak hours, and they were empty at night when there were fewer people, so the average revenue was a little worse, but if I only bought one, the usage rate would be much higher at night." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

"Yes, if you buy less, you will definitely pay back sooner, Ted is willing to buy 3 bars, also because of his confidence in the number of customers, generally a small bar is enough." Cheng Weibin said.

An Qi on the side saw that Chen Zhiwen was not in a hurry to answer, so he said: "Another point, just now I also distinguished a little bit of people who drink and don't drink, people who drink obviously play for a shorter time, that is to say, in the second half of the night, whether they drink or not, when they can't concentrate, each game is shorter, and this kind of person is not very good at reason, and he wants to continue to play if he loses." ”

"Makes sense." Chen Zhiwen nodded with a smile and said.

"It's also possible, but it's not much." Cheng Weibin said.

"Okay, there are so many people playing in the bar, then we won't be short of customers, at least in the early stage, Chengsheng, the business in the United States, we still need you to use more snacks." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Chen Sheng is polite, this is what I should do." Cheng Weibin hurriedly said that he was originally the business representative of Red Bull in the United States, and he did the best job in the bar business, so when Midea's arcade machine needed to take the bar as the first breakthrough, he was transferred and promoted, and is currently in charge of the arcade business in New York State.

"On the bar side, I know you have a lot of channels, and at present, you don't have to worry about orders, but the number of bars in the United States is limited by age, do you think, how can we make American students come to play often?" Chen Zhiwen then asked.

"Students?" Cheng Weibin frowned, and he didn't think of a solution for a while.

"This problem may arise in half a year, so we need to think clearly." Chen Zhiwen said: "It's not very urgent, when you are free, you can think about it, or you can go to the local site to see the characteristics of this group of students." ”

Although I know that the most promising group of students will also be the main customers of their own products in a few years or even a decade, it seems difficult to get them to play arcade on a large scale.

Bar because of legal reasons, these students can't get in, and the retail supermarket they often go to, it is impossible to spend 3000+ dollars to buy a kind of arcade machine, the supermarket may have more customers than the bar, but the supermarket customers will not stay for a long time, plus the supermarket is not for leisure and play, few people will really stop by to play a few games.

Many supermarkets in later generations can have arcade machines, because the price of arcade machines has been reduced a lot, small supermarkets can afford to buy, and as long as a few people play a day, you can return to the cost or even make a profit.

But not now, the price of arcade machines is too expensive, and it takes a large number of players to make the buyers who buy arcade machines return their money, so arcades must be placed in a place that can keep customers for a long time, and the best place is the bar, which is also the development route of the arcade machine in the past: starting from the bar

Other gas stations, the reason is similar, can't retain users for a long time, then from the current business point of view, it just won't work.

"Okay, I'll do my best to solve this problem." Cheng Weibin nodded and said.

"Okay, Anqi, you don't need to count, everyone drinks a bar together, it's rare to relax once, and it's rare for the boss to discount." Chen Zhiwen laughed.

"Okay, I'm going to drink orange juice." Angel said happily.

Early the next morning, Chen Zhiwen had just finished breakfast at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and welcomed a guest of Citibank, investment manager Joey.

"You may be seated." Chen Zhiwen fiddled with the breakfast on the table and said, "I just got up, don't you mind?" ”

"Mr. Chen, you are my client, that is, my God, and I will not say no to God." Joey said with a professional smile.

“OK。” Chen Zhiwen ate the sandwich that came with the hotel, to be honest, in Chen Zhiwen's opinion, these five-star sandwiches or bread are not as delicious as some delicious xiaolongbao from some good roadside stalls in Hong Kong, and the egg tarts are okay.

"Mr. Chen, at the end of last month, we have successfully acquired Wal-Mart's shares to 10% for you, and also announced it to the public in accordance with your requirements, within the requirements of the law, and just five days later, we received an invitation letter from Wal-Mart's senior management to meet with you, because you were overseas at that time, and we also notified you, so we told Wal-Mart that it needed to be extended, and now you are already in the United States, I don't know, what is your answer?" Joey asked.

"You get back to him, and in three days, I'll visit him in person at Walmart's headquarters in Arkansas." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, coming to the United States, checking the situation of the arcade machine is just by the way, some data sent from the American team before, plus the historical achievements of this classic game, he is not worried that this game will not be popular.

Wal-Mart's affairs are the top priority when he comes to the United States, and the only thing he needs to focus on is because it is related to his business layout in many aspects in the future.

And the successful acquisition of 10% of Walmart's shares, the future of paper wealth will be very amazing!

"Okay, I'll call Walmart as soon as I get back at noon." Joey said.

"What is Walmart's market value right now?" Chen Zhiwen asked suddenly.

"Almost $1.6 billion." Joy paused.

"So the stock in my hand is worth $160 million, and if I'm not mistaken, I owe Citi about $40 million, right?" Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Chen has a good memory, and your loan amount at Citi is $38.9 million." Joey said without the slightest pause, the investment he was responsible for, the amount involved was so large, of course he remembered very well, this is a basic requirement of an investment advisor.

"So that means I can get a mortgage again?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

"Of course, according to the rules of the banking industry, stocks can be mortgaged at a 7% discount, but Walmart shares are rated as A+, and I think it is not impossible to have a 20% discount on the collateral amount." Joey Lian said with a smile.

The person in front of him can't talk about the old customers at all, and the cooperation has only been more than a year, but the amount involved is not small, and the investment is very successful, his original capital is only 40 million US dollars, all used to buy Wal-Mart shares, and then through the mortgage to buy shares to obtain funds, buy Wal-Mart shares again.

Today, in the case of Wal-Mart's stock price soaring more than 2 times, Chen Zhiwen holds stocks worth $160 million, and his cost is only $40 million, counting Citi's $38.9 million loan, the investment netted $80 million, and more importantly, Wal-Mart supermarket has developed very rapidly, and each financial report data is also very exciting, expanding rapidly, the financial net profit is getting higher and higher, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, which is a very high-quality stock.

In addition, Citibank also knows that Chen Zhiwen also has the brand of Red Bull Beverage, this kind of high-quality customer, with high-quality assets and high-quality collateral, how can Citibank not pay attention to it?

PS: Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of tomorrow!
