At the beginning of August, under the accounting of Accountant Zhang, the profits for July were released.

Chufeng Internet City has 225 computers and a monthly gross income of 351,000 yuan. Although 30 computers have been added, the income has only increased by 23,400 yuan. This is all due to college students returning home during the summer vacation. However, as long as school starts, I believe the profit will still be there.

Will come back again.

The net profit of the bar that supplies food and water remains at around 1,500 yuan. Due to the hot weather and the decrease in the number of college students, the profit of the coffee machine has dropped to only 1,200 yuan.

In terms of expenditures, employee expenses are 8,000 yuan, various taxes are 1,200 yuan, "security management fees" of 3,375 yuan for the Lan District Police Station in August, corporate taxes (not invoiced) are 2,000 yuan, plus 58,240 yuan in dividends to the owners of eight Internet cafes.

, a total expenditure of 72,365 yuan.

225 computers, including air conditioners, use 41,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity. 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity costs 41,000 yuan. The water fee is 50 yuan.

After settlement, Chufeng Internet City’s net profit in July was 239,835 yuan.

"Brother, there are already occasional empty machines in business in July. Let's not add computers for the time being. We will add them when the college students come back." Chu Zhixuan suggested.

Chu Zhixuan's suggestion is not unreasonable. Before college students start school, 225 computers are enough to absorb the customer base in this area. Adding more computers is just a decoration. However, Lin Feng takes a longer-term view. Once school starts, there will be a

Due to the short-term installation boom and the National Day holiday, the computer market will see price increases for a long time. If you install the computer then, you will definitely suffer a lot. It is better to buy it now and have more free time to debug it.

And in September, there will be a game that defies the will of the world. Thinking of this game, Lin Feng couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic smile.

September 11, 2000, is definitely a day that all game-loving people should remember. On this day, the incredible game "CS Counter-Strike" was made available for public download, beginning the crazy era of "CS for all" in the world. Experience

Lin Feng, who has lived through this era, naturally knows what a crazy era it was. From fighting individually but as a team, to competing everywhere, it was like a basketball "bullfighting", with different numbers of people forming a team to challenge and smash.

It’s a fun scene, with a little bit of luck. I’m happy when I win, and grumble when I lose.

Crazy, all this can only be described as crazy!

Therefore, we must first configure all the computers, and install as many computers as we can. Then we will definitely think that there are not enough computers, not too many. And Lin Feng remembers that after it was initially made available to the public for download, after a long period of time,

"CS Counter-Strike" only appeared in China, and it was still in English. It was not until it became popular that some translation teams translated it into Chinese.

Maybe I can let "CS Counter-Strike" enter China early and make some money by doing so. - Lin Feng seemed to see the God of Wealth smiling at him.

With Lin Feng's insistence, Chufeng Internet City finally purchased another 35 computers, becoming a large-scale Internet city with 260 computers. At the same time, it also added 2 drink machines that can provide hot and cold tastes to provide game fans with

Various cold drinks.

Compared with the high-investment and high-return Internet cafe industry of Chufeng Internet City, the profits of the "Murder Club" made Lin Feng even more concerned.

The six "murder clubs" were operated for 15 days, and a total of 330 cups of scented tea were sold. The cost of each cup was 4 yuan, and the net profit was 11 yuan. The net profit of 330 cups was 3,630 yuan. The six "murder clubs" had 6 referees, and half a month

Salary of 2,400 yuan, 3 waiters, half a month's salary of 900 yuan, half a month's rent totaling 1,000 yuan, electricity bill 1,080 yuan.

Not counting taxes, the total expenditure was 5,380 yuan, a slight loss of 1,750 yuan. Knowing that Lin Feng's scented tea sold so well, he still lost 1,750 yuan, made Chu Zhixuan feel even more regretful.

Naturally, Lin Feng would not take this loss seriously, because the 17 "murder clubs" he joined had brought even greater profits to Lin Feng.

The franchise fee of 2,000 yuan was 34,000 yuan for 17 "murder bars". In ten days, 17 "murder bars" sold a total of 3,500 cups of scented tea. Lin Feng's net profit per cup was 6 yuan. The scented tea alone brought Lin Feng a net profit of 21,000 yuan. And

Starting from next month, each family will pay a monthly membership fee of 300 yuan, which is another generous income without any investment.

On August 2, 2000, Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd. had a total of 6 employees. One accountant, one director of the business department (Liu Yingying is temporarily the director), and four ordinary employees.

The accountant’s salary is 2,000 yuan, Liu Yingying’s salary is 2,000 yuan, and the probation period salary of the four ordinary employees is 2,400 yuan, totaling 6,400 yuan. The rent is 500 yuan.

, the electricity bill is 300 yuan. The tax (only counting the business tax on scented tea) is 254 yuan.

In the first month after its establishment, Lin's Catering and Entertainment Co., Ltd. had a total income of 58,630 yuan, an expenditure of 12,830 yuan, and a net profit of 45,796 yuan. After accounting calculation by Zhang, with a total investment of 120,000 yuan, the profit rate of return was 38%. Another astonishing result.

of numbers.

The profit return rate of Internet cafes during the same period was 19%. However, Internet cafes require large initial investments, and will later become a violent industry with compound profits, and the profit return rate will increase to 100% or even higher.

However, Lin Feng believes that the "Killing Club" will become a stable and lucrative profit return point for a long time.

"Mr. Lin, many businesses are now sending requests to join the 'Murder Club'," Liu Yingying said at a regular meeting on Monday.

Lin Feng smiled and glanced at the people around him, including Accountant Zhang, Liu Yingying, and the four employees, and felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Before his rebirth, he often watched the weekly shareholders' meetings of listed companies on TV, and he couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like. Now

Although it is far from being comparable to listed companies in terms of scale and momentum, Lin Feng believes that one day he will definitely have one.

"But according to my inference, their drunkenness is not about wine. What they are interested in is the recipe of scented tea." Seeing that Lin Feng remained silent, Liu Yingying continued.

"According to our investigation, the 'killing game' market in Chu City has been seriously saturated. Since many individual businesses have forced themselves to sell 'killing games', competition has become fierce. In order to attract customers, many 'killing games' have maliciously lowered their prices. Now we have 17 franchises."

The profits of "Killing Bar" have been transferred mainly to scented tea, and the fees for providing "Killing Game" services can only cover the referee's salary and rent and water and electricity bills." Liu Yingying handed the printed data report to Lin Feng.

"Well, since the business of our 'Murder Bar' is so difficult, it will be even more difficult for other 'Murder Bars'. By the way, is there any scented tea in Chu City that can compete with us?" Regarding the 'Murder Bar',

Lin Feng is not worried about competition, scented tea is the focus.

"Not yet. Although many merchants have also launched scented tea, they can't compare with us in terms of taste, fragrance or color. However, I have a suggestion. Can we increase the variety of scented tea and provide various varieties to customers?

Enhance attraction." Liu Yingying suggested.

"Well, I'll go find the master for this." Lin Feng nodded. In order to monopolize the secret recipe of scented tea, Lin Feng worshiped the old man as his teacher a week ago, and invited the helpless old man back home to work with his father.

Live. This way you will never worry about the secret recipe of scented tea being leaked.

Although this method is a bit despicable, Lin Feng doesn't care. If you want to succeed, you must pay a price. What's more, this may not be a pure profit investment. At least Lin Feng will support the elderly and prevent them from dying in their old age.

At that time, he was lonely and helpless. To put it bluntly, the old man lived alone, and no one would know if he died one day.
