Chapter 188 Telecommunications Companies
At this time, Tenglong Internet cafes around the world are extremely popular, almost overcrowded, and the supply exceeds demand.
Many people are rushing to play games, 3 yuan an hour in China, 3 dollars abroad, compared to buying 4999 US dollars of Shenzhou computer, it is really very cheap, and it also saves money to buy game discs.
United States, California, Los Angeles, Tenglong Internet Cafe.
“Follow me!”
"Brothers, follow me! In this game, we must eliminate all the terrorists! ”
Solomon Harrison exclaimed excitedly.
His love for the game Counter-Strike has reached the point of obsession.
Since this morning, he has been playing Counter-Strike for three or four hours straight.
He secretly calculated that the price of Shenzhou computer is $4999, the price of the "Counter-Strike" game disc is $160, adding up to about $5160, and the Internet fee of the Tenglong Internet Café is $3 an hour, and with the money to buy computers and games, you can play for a total of 1720 hours, assuming 8 hours a day, you can play for 215 days. In fact, he can't play 8 hours a day, he's still in school, Monday to Friday, at most two hours a day in the Internet café, Saturday and Saturday and Saturday and 7 can play a little longer. So, instead of spending a fortune on a computer, it's better to play in an internet café.
What's more, he can also play seven other PC games developed by the Borderless Group, and he doesn't have to pay for electricity.
If he were asked to come up with more than $5,000 at a time, he wouldn't be able to come up with that much money. His parents would not have spent so much money to buy him a Shenzhou computer.
Solomon Harrison couldn't help but be very grateful to the Borderless Group for setting up the Tenglong Internet Café to fulfill his desire to play games.
There are tens of millions of computer users around the world, but if you want to play Counter-Strike, you have to go to the Dragon Internet Café.
Counter-Strike is a single-player game, but it's not very interesting.
As a result, many people who have computers at home have also gone to Tenglong Internet Cafe.
Tenglong Internet Cafe is open almost 24 hours a day, and it makes a lot of money.
In addition, Tenglong Internet Cafe also provides a variety of beverages, such as Laoshan Cola, Tianfu Cola, Arctic Ocean and so on...... Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, these drinks are all beverage brands under Wujiang Group.
Zhao Ye also plans to let Wujiang Group set up Wujiang Food Company to develop instant noodles, ham sausages and other foods to provide food for Internet café users.
In addition, Wujiang Group is about to set up a supermarket, which can easily promote its own food brand.
Zhao Ye didn't expect that Tenglong Internet Cafe was even more popular than he expected, probably because the current Internet is not very developed, and there are less than 1 million users worldwide. Many people do not have the Internet at home, so they choose to go to Tenglong Internet Cafe to play games.
At the moment, not only the game "Counter-Strike" is popular, but also the five games of "Diablo", "Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Red Alert", and "Resident Evil" are also sought after by players.
In China, the popularity of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Sea Voyage: Zheng He's Voyage to the West" is second only to "Counter-Strike", and not worse than "Diablo".
……
Wujiang Group.
Zhao Ye called Gao Zhenghao, the person in charge of the Tenglong Internet Cafe, over and advised: "Hurry up and mobilize more people to open more Tenglong Internet Cafes!! ”
"Within a year, 20,000 new Internet cafes must be built!"
"Among them, 5,000 Internet cafes will be added in China, 5,000 in the United States, 5,000 in Europe, 3,000 in Japan, 1,000 in South Korea, 500 in Canada, and 500 in Australia."
"Write a training manual to instruct local Internet café managers and clerks."
Wujiang Group has opened branches all over the world, and Wujiang flagship stores are located in every corner of the world, with sufficient staff.
"By the way, when establishing Internet cafes in Japan, some Internet cafes can be turned into Internet cafes and hotels, with independent compartments, providing them with drinks, showers, comics, and everything necessary for life."
It's 1990, and next year Japan's real estate bubble bursts and a serious economic crisis erupts.
Japan has gone from prosperity to decline, and many Japanese people have gone from heaven to hell in their lives. In the past life, the term "Internet café refugee" was first introduced from Japan. Japanese Internet cafes have become the habitat of many of Japan's low-class people.
Zhao Ye also wants to make this money!
"Boss, it's not a good deal to build a compartment in a Japanese Internet café, right?" Gao Zhenghao was slightly surprised.
Zhao Ye smiled: "Isn't it okay to have a compartment and the price is a little higher than that without a compartment?" ”
When Gao Zhenghao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
Speaking of this, Zhao Ye added at this time: "By the way, large Internet cafes can set up non-smoking areas to give girls a good experience on the plane!" ”
Girls also love to play games, in fact, not much less than boys.
Zhao Ye has to earn money for boys and girls, and the probability of Tenglong Internet Cafe is high!
……
Zhao Ye gave an order, and the construction speed of Tenglong Internet Cafe soared again.
The decoration of the Internet café is not complicated, and it can be renovated in one or two months.
And the requirements for the façade are not high, and it can be placed on the second or third floor.
Internet cafes are popular and will attract players to play.
A conspicuous signboard is sufficient.
The explosion of Tenglong Internet Cafe naturally attracted the attention and envy of many people.
……
Xing Liangcai has worked hard in Shenzhen for more than ten years and earned more than one million, and suddenly heard that the Internet café is very popular, and he can't help but find out.
When he came to Tenglong Internet Café, his face was full of shock, and the Internet café was more than 100 square meters large, crowded with people. There are more people watching than playing, and as soon as there is a vacant seat, it will be snatched up by others.
"The business of the Internet café is really good!!"
Xing Liangcai couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
He walked to the front desk, looked at the front desk lady, and asked, "Waiter, how much does it cost for an hour on the plane?" ”
"Hello, uncle, it's 3 yuan for an hour on the plane!" The front desk lady replied.
"So expensive?!" Xing Liangcai was stunned.
The front desk lady smiled and said: "It's not expensive, the national uniform price, it's all 3 yuan, you see, our business here is full every day!" ”
At this time, the average monthly salary of Chinese is: 600 yuan.
3 yuan an hour, it's not expensive!
However, seeing that the business in the store was so good, Xing Liangcai was moved, and he also wanted to open an Internet café.
"Well, how much did you spend to open this Internet café?" Xing Liangcai asked.
The front desk lady Bu Wanmeng was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect the guest to ask this question, however, she has been trained, if the customer asks about opening an Internet café, they must answer the customer, if they can win the order, then there will be a high commission.
"Sir, do you want to open an Internet café?" Bu Wanmeng suppressed the excitement in her heart and said to Xing Liangcai.
"Yes!" Xing Liangcai nodded in response.
Bu Wanmeng introduced: "Tenglong Internet Cafe is a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, and it is also responsible for promoting the Internet café business to the outside world! ”
After a slight pause, he said, "Let me give you a brief introduction to the special mode of opening an Internet café." The computer used in our Tenglong Internet café does not have a hard disk, because we use diskless network technology and establish an Internet café server, and everything is placed on the Internet café server, thus saving a lot of hard disk expenses! ”
"Generally speaking, if you only purchase computers and Internet café-related electronic equipment, you can invest 1 million yuan to open a medium-sized Internet café with 70 computers!"
"If you invest 500,000 yuan, then the size of the Internet café can only reach 30 computers."
"The bigger the investment, the more cost-effective."
"By the way, sir, how big of an Internet café do you plan to open?"
Xing Liangcai thought for a moment and said, "I plan to invest 1 million!" ”
The investment is less, not very cost-effective, and the investment is large, and he doesn't have so much money, so he can only invest 1 million yuan.
If you include other rent, decoration, tables and chairs, etc., the total investment is about 1.1 million yuan.
Xing Liangcai secretly calculated that 70 computers, if he made money 24 hours a day, he could earn 5,040 yuan a day. It can be paid back in 200 days. Of course, there will be staff expenses, electricity bills, maintenance and other expenses, but these are small heads, staff expenses, even if you invite two people, 1,000 yuan per month, it will not cost much money a year.
Xing Liangcai couldn't help but get excited, the Internet café business is really profitable, even if it can't be repaid in 200 days, then it should be almost recouped in a year.
The second year is pure earning!
The annual revenue is more than one million, and the profit is as high as seven or eight hundred thousand, which is much more promising than his previous inverted electronic watches.
Xing Liangcai couldn't help but think that if he made money in the second year, he would continue to open an Internet café, and within a few years, he would become a multimillionaire!
Moreover, the Internet café business does not have to bother with itself, and you can make money lying down.
In the past, I used to run around for the sake of purchasing and selling, but now it is much easier to open an Internet café.
This business is really amazing!
In fact, although the business of Internet cafes is good, it is impossible for every computer to be open 24 hours a day, and once the novelty has passed, it is very good to be able to make 20 hours a day.
You may not be able to return to your capital in one year, but you can not only return to your capital in the second year, but also make a lot of money. However, the computers in Internet cafes are updated too quickly, and maybe in two or three years, they will have to replace a batch of computers.
The biggest winners belong only to the Borderless Group.
Of course, if you increase the cost of boarding a little, you can earn it back in the first year.
In fact, Xing Liangcai thought so in his heart.
Since demand outstrips supply, why not increase the cost of boarding?
……
At this time, there are still many people who are as shrewd as Xing Liangcai.
For a time, a hurricane of building Internet cafes blew across the country, and even a loud slogan was heard: If you want to open an Internet café!!
However, due to the relatively high cost of opening an Internet café, only a small number of people can afford to do it.
In the past, China had 136,000 Internet cafes. This is only the official statistics, and many dark Internet cafes have not counted them, otherwise the data will be even larger.
Now there are more than 3,000 Internet cafes, which are completely in short supply.
Zhao Ye felt that he had made a mistake, the boarding fee was too low, he knew that this was the case, it was 5 yuan an hour, and when he connected to the Internet in the future, it was 10 yuan an hour, and then slowly lowered the price.
What should be the reason for the price increase?
Zhao Ye thought about it, but forget it, it is difficult to chase after a horse, and the reputation of Wujiang Group is more important.
"However, the cost of boarding the machine is not rising, can you plagiarize the game for nothing?"
"After opening the Internet, if you want to play games, I have a way to make you pay obediently!"
Zhao Ye frowned at this time, why didn't the country reply to him for so long?
It is urgent to invest in the construction of China's Internet!
As the saying goes, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
At this moment, the phone rang.
It was Huo Xing who called Minister Huo.
Zhao Ye saw the caller ID and hurriedly pressed the connect button.
"Hello, Minister Huo, the last time I proposed to make Wujiang Group an ISP Internet operator, did you discuss the result?"
Huo Xingwei nodded with a smile and said: "Hello, Zhao Ye, there is indeed news, however, the state did not agree to let Wujiang Group monopolize ISP, but Wujiang and the state jointly invested in the establishment of an ISP company, each accounting for 50% of the shares, the company can be handed over to Wujiang Group to operate, but the state will send people to supervise and manage!" ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he immediately smiled, what he wanted was this result, the reason why he put forward the requirement for monopoly was that there was room for regression, and the state should also be involved.
Zhao Ye wants to develop the entire telecommunications industry, and it may be difficult to pass with the background of Wujiang Group, but after establishing an ISP Internet operator as a joint venture with the state, he will have the opportunity to get involved in mobile communications in the future.
Wasn't China Telecom simply an ISP at the beginning, and then developed into a full-service operator with the expansion of its business.
Zhao Ye said to Minister Huo Xingwei at this time: "Minister Huo, I agree with the country's decision, then set up a joint venture company, each holding 50% of the shares, I think the new company will be called China Telecom Company!" ”
Good guy, really good guy, Zhao Ye directly snatched the name of China Telecom, anyway, the other party has not been established, and it should not even be established.
Wujiang Group and the state are joint ventures to do ISP, how can there be any matter of China Telecom Company.
So, then it's just a little bit simpler, the joint venture company is directly called China Telecom.
When Huo Xingwei heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, no problem, just call it this name." ”
In terms of name, the state has no special requirements.
China Telecom is also a good name.
When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but show a meaningful smile.
"Minister Huo, since it has been confirmed, then we must first build the Internet backbone network, this matter, I have arranged for people to plan the route, and when the optical fiber development is successful, we will start construction immediately!"
"Okay, no problem!"
Zhao Ye has reached a cooperation intention with the country, and more professional people will talk about the specific details.
With the participation of the state, the green light can be given all the way, and no one will hinder the construction of the Internet backbone.
You must know that the construction of the Internet backbone network involves a wide range of issues, especially land issues, and Wujiang Group really can't handle it alone.
At this moment, Zhao Ye couldn't help but be a little excited, and couldn't help fantasizing that after the development of the domestic Internet, it would lead the global network wave and open the era of portal websites and e-commerce.
