The four hundred and twentieth chapters see the micro-knowledge
Tianyu Internet Cafe, as a long-established Internet cafe that has been in business for more than 10 years, can be said to have witnessed the rise, fall and development of the domestic gaming industry.
Not only has it experienced the rise of the domestic Internet cafe industry and reaped the dividends of the Internet cafe industry, it has also experienced the downturn of the Internet cafe industry and the confusion of transformation. Fortunately, the League of Legends came out and successfully extended the life of the Internet cafe industry.
As the owner of Tianyu Internet Cafe, Chen Tianyu once tried to sell the Internet cafe and use the money earned over the years to transform into other businesses. After all, he had caught up with the good times of Internet cafes and made a lot of money.
At that time, when he was over 30 years old, despite the opposition of his family, he made a decisive decision to open an Internet cafe. This not only changed Chen Tianyu's life, but also brought about earth-shaking changes in the living standards of the entire family.
What has also undergone earth-shaking changes is the attitude of his family members. In the face of indisputable facts, Chen Tianyu's status in the family has naturally increased.
This may be why so many people are keen on starting a business. The rewards and sense of accomplishment from success are indeed fascinating.
However, now that I am over 40, the Internet cafe industry is watching the sunset, and some emerging Internet cafe combinations are crowding out traditional Internet cafes. This has also made the business of Tianyu Internet Cafe, a local "time-honored Internet cafe", not easy to do.
Nowadays, we can only rely on the advantage of low prices to attract some young people and migrant workers to come to Internet cafes for entertainment, barely maintaining the status quo of drought and floods and ensuring income.
And at this embarrassing age when retirement is still too early, Chen Tianyu can't help but think deeply about whether he should take advantage of the opportunity before his blood is cold to fight again?
However, the times are changing so fast that even if Chen Tianyu wants to give it a try, he can't find a suitable direction at all.
Also, even if he once tasted the sweetness of entrepreneurial success, as time has passed and he has grown older, Chen Tianyu's thoughts inevitably tend to be conservative, and naturally he no longer has the courage to make a desperate move.
Rather than taking risks, Chen Tianyu is more concerned about whether he should cater to the popular concept of Internet cafes and upgrade Tianyu Internet Cafe. It may be possible to generate income and add to the income of the Internet cafe.
As for the idea of providing help in times of need to save the decline of the entire Internet cafe, Chen Tianyu is naturally not so naive.
I just don’t know if the investment and return can be directly proportional?
The consideration of the cost of trial and error is also a major issue that Chen Tianyu considers before and after.
Chen Tianyu sat at the counter of the Internet cafe and lit a cigarette. Looking at the smoky atmosphere in the Internet cafe at this time, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the grand opening ceremony with huge crowds and bustling people in his mind was just yesterday. He didn't expect that ten years would pass in the blink of an eye.
It's past.
Just when Chen Tianyu was sighing, a young man suddenly appeared in front of him, interrupting Chen Tianyu's memories. Chen Tianyu greeted with a smile: "Handsome guy, do you want to turn on the phone?"
Then he prepared skilled operations to turn on the customer's computer. Although Chen Tianyu is the owner of the Internet cafe, except for the network administrator, he has always been responsible for the front desk position, which can be said to have been ten years.
Because Chen Tianyu just enjoys the joy and leisure of controlling the overall situation of the Internet cafe. Anyway, the network administrator is responsible for running errands. He only needs to be responsible for turning on the computer. As time goes by, the money goes into his pocket little by little...
This is the happiness of an Internet cafe owner, unpretentious and boring.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of me came up and asked: "Boss, do you have the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" here?"
Chen Tianyu was stunned for a moment, what game? He had never heard of it, but Internet cafes have changed over the past ten years, and there is no need to manually download games one by one.
There is a unified Internet cafe client and server, and the game types are all-encompassing. As long as the popular games are basically included, Chen Tianyu also said with a smile: "As long as they are popular games, our Internet cafe has them. Let me check..."
"Oh, this game was only released for public testing today. I just wanted to ask, if it doesn't exist, can I download it and play it in an Internet cafe?" the young man asked enthusiastically.
Chen Tianyu was a little confused, but the visitor was a customer, so he said with a smile: "Of course, our Internet cafe has Gigabit Internet speed, and we can download things very quickly..."
Anyway, Internet cafes rely on a unified system and server deployment. Each client computer is just running a system image. Even if you download something and restart it, it will be restored again, and these temporary data will also be cleared.
Chen Tianyu checked the Internet cafe client and found that the game did not exist, and then he skillfully turned it on for customers.
After sending the young man away, Chen Tianyu sat down and opened the search engine out of curiosity to find out more about this game.
""PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", China's first multiplayer competitive survival game..." Chen Tianyu read the introduction with interest, and then opened the video introduction on the webpage. At first glance, this game seemed quite interesting.
"It's still a pig factory game. Although it has just been released to public beta, the quality should be guaranteed. Someone will add this game to the server another day..." Chen Tianyu muttered.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, several high school students in school uniforms walked in with high spirits, "Boss, do you have "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" here? We want to play..."
Chen Tianyu glanced at it and joked: "Are you an adult? You dare to come to an Internet cafe in school uniform and you are not afraid of being caught by your parents?"
"We have turned 18 a long time ago. If you don't believe me, look at our ID cards!" The high school student was shocked when he heard this. He took out his ID card and patted it at the counter with great excitement. The arrogant person must have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Chen Tianyu took the ID card and looked at it. Good guy, it was in November 1997, not long after he turned 18. No wonder he was so lucky. It turned out to be a long-planned move.
"It's "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" again? The game that was just released for public beta today hasn't had time to be included yet. I'm already downloading it. Why don't you start the computer and download it? Gigabit network speed is very fast..."
Chen Tianyu's mind was spinning quickly and he opened his mouth to speak. At the same time, he gave up the idea of changing it another day. Now, it will be recorded in the server immediately!
After all, the customers are the patrons of the Internet cafe. If you want to make money from the patrons, you must naturally meet the patrons' needs. In just a short time, two groups of customers have asked. Even if you earn the Internet fees of these two groups of customers, it will be a waste.
enough.
It only contains one game and does not take up space. The ultra-large-capacity hard drive of the Internet cafe server cannot be covered.
"Okay, then hurry up and download it. I saw the anchors playing it on the live broadcast platform. Many people are waiting to play it. This game will definitely become popular..." the young man said enthusiastically.
Then he and his classmates walked in happily, muttering words such as "good luck" and "eating chicken tonight" from time to time. Obviously they couldn't wait to experience this game.
For them, it’s not that they don’t have computers at home, they just want to play hack together, so they can only experience the fun of hacking by going to an Internet cafe.
After all, the student days can be said to be the time when you have the greatest enthusiasm for games. You have nowhere to put your energy, and you can always find a partner to play with. This kind of happiness will only become less and less in the future...
Chen Tianyu touched his head and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this game so popular? If a game as popular as League of Legends can be released, then this Internet cafe business can last for a few more years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Tianyu couldn't help but smile and shook his head. How could such a good thing happen? Let's ask the network administrator to include the game in the server first.
As everyone knows, this scene has appeared sporadically in some Internet cafes across the country, but after all, only a very small number of players actually go to Internet cafes to look for this game.
But with a little knowledge, it is enough to see that the official public beta of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has indeed caused waves among the game players.
As night falls, the evening peak period of the game comes. A large number of players pour into the game server of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and can't wait to start their own chicken-eating journey!
