On May Day, Wang Ai invested heavily in the "Beyond" Internet Cafe, now called the Computer Room, which opened in the west section of Qingnian Street, where the Municipal Education Commission, No. 1 High School, hospitals and other cultural industries are concentrated. This investment was about 30
Wan, purchased a dilapidated two-story building and started renovating it in March. He hired a professor from the Computer Department of Liaoyang University to follow him to Zhongguancun, the capital, and bought 40 computer parts, and then came back to assemble and debug it himself. Internet cafe license
It was easy to apply. After assembling twenty units first, the business opened on May Day. Song Laoliu followed him around all the time. Although he didn’t understand anything, his attitude was sincere. He posted a lot of advertisements before the opening.
, its name is computer training. Of course, if you want to learn computers, no one will stop you. It’s no problem to practice typing. Office software is available. But you must be able to withstand Red Alert 98, Age of Empires, Emperor, etc.
The temptation of a series of games. In fact, no one can resist it. No matter what title they play, they will all become gamers in the end.
The internet cafe has become extremely popular since it opened. It is the first formal large-scale online entertainment venue in the city. Although it has not yet been connected to the Internet, there is a local area network. The four waiters are exhausted working two shifts, and they have to teach customers how to play games.
, while selling drinks, cigarettes, instant noodles, pickled vegetables and other snacks, sometimes I also have to deal with some simple computer problems.
Of course, cigarettes are not sold on the second floor, and it is also non-smoking. Wang Ai plans to gradually upgrade from a junior Internet cafe to a high-end Internet club to attract high-end consumer customers, so the areas are divided from the early stage: smoking area and non-smoking area. 2.
The building is prepared for non-smokers, especially high-end people and female customers. However, it is still early in the development of Internet cafes and the crowds have not yet been completely divided. After the opening of one or two months, market segments will appear, and then the Internet cafes will be divided.
Open, gradually phase out the low-end, and firmly control the mid-to-high end. By then, Internet cafes will mainly be in the form of private rooms, with an area of more than 400 square meters. The smoking area will have a dedicated smoking game room with a large exhaust fan. Other areas
Smoking is strictly prohibited. The products sold will gradually transition from instant noodles to takeout and steak; the beverages will transition from bottled tea to freshly brewed tea and coffee. Even cigarettes will have to transition to high-end types such as cigars.
In other words, Wang Ai plans to spend two months cultivating the market and customer classification needs, and then gradually launch targeted expansion in the city, setting up four to five large-scale comprehensive stores in the city center, business districts, cultural districts, etc., and then throughout the city.
Pair it with seven or eight ordinary Internet cafes. Since the usage habits of the first batch of Internet cafe users were cultivated in Beyond Internet cafes, they will have a high degree of loyalty to the Beyond Internet cafe brand. As long as they don't commit suicide, this will be a cash cow with huge profits.
As for markets in some urban areas, suburbs and even rural areas where computer rooms were scattered and even opened in residential buildings without licenses, Wang Ai threw them away to newcomers.
After it opened, Wang Ai went there frequently. It wasn't because he wanted to play with computers, but because it didn't have professional managers. As the first such large-scale business in the city, it lacked talents not only in terms of technology but also in management, so Wang Ai
He had to sacrifice part of his after-dinner time to rush to the Internet cafe to save the situation. Song Laoliu could suppress the monsters, but he was helpless when the computer was disobedient.
In this way, Huang Xin, who followed, came into contact with Wang Ai's company for the first time. As a result, he was shocked.
It turned out that the lively Beyond Internet Cafe that was rumored among the students was actually run by a kid! Dozens of microcomputers were in a clear order, with colorful lights flashing on the screen. Occasionally, there were people shouting excitedly, and people around them stretched out their arms.
It is not uncommon for people to peek at the screen with their necks bent, especially the battles between Red Alert and Empire. There is a joyful atmosphere. The second floor is a bit deserted. There are many girls and people who are obviously civil servants. They are familiar with keyboard touch typing according to the typing software.
, and some girls simply wear headphones to listen to music and watch movies.
The waiter on the second floor couldn't figure out what the cute girl who was talking to the little boss when she came in was doing. The little boss was busy on the first floor, so he simply invited Huang Xin to play for a while. Huang Xin had been exposed to microcomputers in school.
Yes, but the school only has typing software, keyboard practice software, and some office software, and absolutely no games. Those are all the prerogatives of the computer teacher, and are mysteriously hidden in an unknown "learning material" folder. So.
, Huang Xin was involuntarily attracted to the game. She played one game after another, and when she felt thirsty, she discovered that Wang Ai was smiling and staring at her for a long time. She stood up in a hurry and embarrassedly, and saw the words on the wall.
The wall clock shows eight-thirty.
At the door of the second floor, Wang Ai suddenly said to the waiter who followed him: "She is my wife, she will come to play casually, but her boyfriend can"t...(She is my wife, she will come to play casually in the future, but her boyfriend can
Not a boyfriend).”
Because Huang Xin and Wang Ai once said during a chat that her boyfriend was not in the right mind, so Wang Ai teased Huang Xin with this topic. Seeing the waiter's confused look, Wang Ai just opened his mouth to laugh, but was
Huang Xin pinched it and rubbed it hard.
At this time, a weak voice next to him said: "The boss told me that there is no problemwww But she is your wife, Isn"t her boyfriend you?
Aren’t you your friend?)”
Wang Ai turned around, "I'll go! The waiter actually knows English and is so fluent! Who graduated and came here to work?"
But it’s not surprising when you think about it. Computers and microcomputers are definitely high-end things these days, and it’s not uncommon to attract talents who can speak fluent English. Jack Ma was so good at English back then that he even went to KFC to apply for a waiter job. What’s even more tragic is that he hasn’t
Want him.
Wang Ai endured Huang Xin's ravage on his face, looked at the waiter carefully, and then let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it's not Jack Ma! If such a big guy works for him, the chassis cover will not be able to hold it down.
One night in June, Wang Ai went to the paper mill to deal with some management matters, because Wang Bin was moved by various intercessory loan officers and wanted to expand production capacity as soon as possible, seize the market, and use the power of the bank
It was a shortcut. So, Wang Ai held the ball, spoke English to Huang Xin, and headed towards the factory while sitting on the broken bread picked up from the factory.
Driving in the dark and quiet suburbs, it was already 7:30 at night when we arrived at the factory. When Huang Xin followed Wang Ai and got out of the van, she suddenly discovered that there were bright lights and a lot of people in front of her.
Since when has there been such a big factory here? Tall chimneys stand under the starry sky, people are coming in and out of huge color steel factory buildings, vehicles are constantly moving, hand-pushed flatbed trucks, large trucks are loading goods in an orderly manner, and inspectors
They were weighed and registered one by one. The machines roared in the workshop, and large pieces of white paper flowed down like waterfalls. They were rolled into large rolls and then cut and lifted down. They were sent to the small rolling machine, rolled into suitable thickness, and then quickly sent to the
On the cutting machine, after cutting the sections into normal lengths, five or six workers gathered around a large table and put them one by one into plastic bags with the "Love Toilet Paper" trademark printed on them, and then put them into big bags one by one.
Set aside to stack.
When Huang Xin looked around, the vast expanse of white seemed to have no end in sight.
There are four paper machines in a workshop, and four teams are producing continuously. There are cranes that are constantly moving back and forth under the high lifting racks, middle-level leaders wearing straight cadre uniforms, and maintenance workers carrying various equipment.
Workers patrol the workshop.
Huang Xin followed Wang Ai in a daze. This kind of beauty in the industrial age was unparalleled and could make people's souls throb.
Huang Xin couldn't count how many workshops she passed by. When she suddenly turned around, there was only a little light left at the factory entrance.
After calming down, Huang Xin still couldn't control the trembling in her voice: "Wang Ai, do these all belong to your family?"
Wang Ai smiled and pointed at her nose: "Wang Ai! Ai! Love's paper mill."
