She was busy until noon, so busy that Xiao Hongmei didn't even have time to buy groceries. At Lu Fei's suggestion, she simply treated it as a grand opening celebration dinner and ordered stir-fried takeout.
Two small tables were set up, with a circle of people surrounding them.
While Lu Fei was eating, he looked over the morning's results.
From the opening at 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock, in just 5 hours, the turnover has exceeded the thousand yuan mark, a total of 1,053.5 yuan.
The milk tea is given away in large quantities but sold in small quantities, 10 cups for 18 yuan.
Internet fees account for one-third, 365.5 yuan.
The real bulk comes from members who recharge and register, 23 ordinary members and 7 VIP members, a total of 670 yuan.
These are real regular customers, at least they are firmly tied to Yunfei Internet Cafe until they spend all their recharged Internet fees.
That’s not all. The core of Chinese games is that gameplay is always the trail, and social interaction is the avenue.
No matter whether I am in school or at work, I obviously don’t like CF or DNF, but everyone in the class and company is playing with them. If I don’t play, I won’t be able to integrate into the circle and have fun with my friends.
Trapping a small group of people is equivalent to trapping the social circle behind you.
Lu Yunde looked at Shu and said, "There are just too few machines. It would be great if there were 30 or 40 machines."
"Brother, it will happen sooner or later."
Lu Fei gave the dish to Lu Yun, and saw him put the dish to his mouth, put it down again, stared at him, and sighed:
"Our parents died early. When I was 17 years old, I stood up against the doorpost and supported the family. Now you, the second child, are also 17 years old. You have supported our family and grown up. Second child, you have finally grown up."
Seeing the two brothers moved each other, Xiao Hongmei raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, "We are eating, why are we talking about this? We eat meat and fish, and we have a lot of fish and meat."
Lu Yun handed his brother some food with his backhand: "I don't worry about anything else right now. I'm just worried about you taking the college entrance examination. Don't stay in the store in the afternoon, go back to school and resume your studies."
"Okay." Lu Fei nodded.
Before leaving after the meal, he specifically asked Fang Xing, who was calm and steady, to pay special attention to the first night shift in the Internet cafe.
"Don't worry, just keep it with me." He patted his chest.
………
In the late autumn evening in Yanjing, the heat turns from hot to cold, and the night is as cold as frost.
In the dark long street, amidst the darkness, Pioneer Internet Cafe is brightly lit, as is Yunfei Internet Cafe.
"Ha~"
Wang Xiaoyi half-squinted his eyes, sleepiness written all over his face. He turned his back on the dark side and ran to the Yunfei Internet Cafe just to get cheaper internet fees for his family.
It was just early 10 o'clock at this time, and the Internet cafe was already empty. There were not many people, so it was impossible to form a group to play LAN games such as StarCraft.
There are very few online games nowadays. There is only one "King of Kings". You have to wait until 2001 for "Stone Age", "Thousand Kings", "Legend of Blood"...
He was chatting on ICQ and QICQ at the same time. The beeping sound in his earphones kept coming, but he wouldn't get off the phone. After all, it lasted until 11 o'clock, and he couldn't bear to waste the remaining time.
That’s all money!
In fact, he wanted to watch a movie, but with the millennium Internet speed, it would take a long time to download a 4MB movie trailer, which was simply too slow.
Looking around, I suddenly noticed that there was a video rental area on the wall next to the front desk, with a notice:
"It is free for members to use...it is prohibited to take it out without permission..."
Wang Xiaoyi perked up and glanced around. He was stunned. There were many Hong Kong dramas on display that he had never seen before, such as "A Date with a Zombie".
On the TV station, there is no way to broadcast it.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is forbidden to become a spirit. Is it possible to make a zombie thriller?
But when he took a look, he realized that this was completely different from the style of "Mr. Zombie". It was an urban exorcism romance!
An immortal vampire falling in love with a descendant of the exorcist dragon clan?
Guerrilla Captain VS Neon Major?
Hong Kong Royal Police VS the Avengers from 60 years ago?
And turn Xiangjiang into a zombie land?
With this imaginary, the screenwriter must have had his head shot while riding in a convertible, which opened up his imagination.
But what attracted his attention the most was Wan Qiwen's 42-inch long legs, which were swaying in the screen, making his blood boil.
After a while, the network management system popped up a prompt, "There are still 10 minutes until the time to get off the plane." Wang Xiaoyi was suddenly awakened from her beauty.
"Holy shit, you watched it for 40 minutes without realizing it?"
He glanced at the complete works arranged on the shelf and was reluctant to pay for the overnight stay, so he used his crooked brain to get online for free. This was not the first time!
It’s not that Fangzhu’s network management system has never been cracked.
After a quick operation, I was shocked to find that unlike Pioneer Internet Cafe, all the loopholes in this network management system had been repaired!
After struggling for a few minutes, I obediently went to the front desk to pay.
"Hey, what are you doing?" He noticed that the network administrator's computer screen displayed a series of programming codes.
Fang Xing smiled and said: "I think this network management system is too rubbish, with too many loopholes and incomplete functions. I am improving it."
Wang Xiaoyi said in surprise: "You, are you a geek?"
"I'm just an ordinary network administrator."
Although Fang Xing said this, his reputation soon spread among the customers along with the booming business of Yunfei Internet Cafe.
The group of people who hacked the system to access the Internet for free were kept at a respectful distance by the big bosses, and they all went to the Pioneer Internet Cafe next door to take advantage of them.
Boss Huang:0.0?
………
One day, two days...
Yunfei Internet Cafe is packed every day, from morning to night, from night to morning, and even during the all-night period when Internet fees are expensive, it is still bustling with people.
The Internet cafe next door quickly lowered the Internet fee by 50 cents, and launched its own membership system to resist strongly.
But it does not affect Yunfei's small business at all. Many people have discovered that there are free CDs to watch, and they are snapped up in one night. Sometimes, the movement is so slow that they can't choose what they want to watch.
All day long, people took advantage of me, watching movies behind the Internet, and even a few people pooled their wallets to share a computer.
Xiao Hongmei said: "Business is so good, your brother and I plan to buy 5 more units, what do you think, A Fei?"
"Sister-in-law, you make up your mind with elder brother." Lu Fei still takes the time to do it these days and give pointers.
"A Fei, I'm already good at milk tea. Don't ask for leave from school again."
Lu Fei agreed, and at this moment, Wang Xiaoyi came to the front desk.
He has been consuming it for three days and has not finished the first part of "I Have a Date with a Zombie" yet. He depressedly hopes that it will be convenient for him to keep the disc in advance.
Lu Fei said in surprise: "Why don't you download the video?"
"Boss, are you willing to download it?"
Wang Xiaoyi was shocked, because once someone downloads something, the Internet speed of the entire Internet cafe will be slowed down, so Internet cafe owners hate people who download indiscriminately.
"Just keep it down."
Lu Fei swears by it and relies on ADSL.
This thing existed as early as 1999, but it was not fully rolled out or commercialized on a large scale. It was just a trial run, and the initial installation fee was ridiculously expensive——
3000. Fortunately, there is a discount of half off, 1500.
Wang Xiaoyi immediately gave it a try. For people who are used to dial-up Internet access, jumping from KB to MB is like flying.
"Fuck, it feels so good!"
His roar attracted countless people, and the news that the Internet speed of Yunfei Internet Cafe was faster than that of Pioneer Internet Cafe spread like wildfire again, and more and more people ran to Yunfei.
Those who remained in the vanguard also kept complaining:
"Why is the internet speed so slow? It's incomparable to Yunfei."
"The internet fee is not as good as others, the environment is not as good as others, the internet speed is not as good as others, there are no DVDs to watch, and there is no milk tea to drink. If the machines there were not full, I would be too lazy to come back."
"When will Yunfei Internet Cafe post computers?"
"..."
Each conversation was particularly jarring, and Boss Huang gritted his teeth.
Damn it, where does this Yunfei Internet Cafe come from so many routines, including hackers, milk tea, DVDs, and ADSl...
nnd, except for the milk tea hacker, there is no one left to recruit but Quanxue, let’s see what other tricks you have!
