Waited for more than an hour until noon.
There was a young man outside the door. He probed his brain for a long time, and finally pushed the door and came in.
A waiter who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him.
"Welcome! Do you want to surf the Internet or have a coffee?"
It seems a bit silly to ask such a question, but Moyu Internet Cafe is indeed a place where Internet access and catering are integrated.
The young man apparently saw the cool computer configuration inside through the glass, and guessed that it was an Internet cafe, so he came in.
"How much... how much is an hour?"
The waiter answered truthfully: "Ten dollars."
The young man was a little confused, and thought he heard it wrong: "Ah? I asked the general area, not the private room."
"Yes sir, the ordinary area is ten dollars an hour, and we don't have a private room here."
The young man was obviously speechless: "Is there a discount for applying for a card?"
"Yes, after you apply for the card, there is a 10% discount on drinks." The waiter enthusiastically handed over the menu.
The young man glanced at it, and his body swayed obviously.
This Nima!
On the front are all kinds of drinks and cocktails, all of which are 40 to 50 yuan a cup.
On the back are home-cooked dishes, such as tomatoes, eggs, fish-flavored shredded pork, etc. It's not cheap!
This... 10% off can't even buy it!
What's more, your internet cafe's membership card doesn't even offer discounts on the Internet, but instead offers discounts on drinks. What kind of cowardly operation is this
The young man coughed twice: "Sorry, my family is poor, farewell."
Turned out.
Several waiters looked at each other.
This…
I wanted to hold him back.
But President Pei explained that service should be as natural as the spring breeze!
Just like the feeling of a spring breeze brushing your cheeks, let customers feel your presence, but not too strong.
Therefore, several waiters had to hold back.
Soon, by noon, the flow of people gradually increased.
There are also many people who come to ask the price.
As a result, three or four people came, all of them were the same as the young man before, and they were defeated after hearing the price.
Others whispered: "Ming grab!"
Zhang Yuan has been standing at the bar, preparing to perform a bartending stunt.
In the end, let alone some drinks, not a single person came in to surf the Internet!
"Brother Qian, this can't be done!"
Ma Yang saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart.
It's such a bad start, what the hell!
When the time comes, the more deserted it is, the more nobody will come. Isn't that a vicious circle
Pei Qian also nodded solemnly.
"Well, that really doesn't work."
"Come on, make a sign and put the price list on the door!"
"Come in and ask for a price one by one and then leave. It makes no sense."
"Let them know the price at the door, so that they can go in and ask, and waste their feelings!"
"If you think it's expensive, don't come in. It's good for everyone to save trouble."
Ma Yang people are stupid.
What do you mean by "really not"
It’s okay if you don’t put up a sign. When someone comes in and asks about the price, they may be embarrassed to leave under the watchful eye of the waiter, which will leave some thin-skinned customers.
Put up a sign, people will leave after looking at the sign outside, and they will not come in!
Doesn't that drive away some thin-skinned potential customers? !
Ma Yang was a little resistant.
Seeing his hesitation, Pei Qian urged, "Come on. Why do you hesitate for this kind of thing that benefits others and yourself?"
Ma Yang stood up reluctantly and arranged for someone to order the brand.
Pei Qian continued to drink coffee.
As if ordinary coffee is a little sweeter!
…
By the afternoon, there were finally customers.
Two young guys who seemed to be rich second-generation came to surf the Internet together. After seeing the price at the door, they hesitated for a while, but after a little entanglement, they walked in and sat down in the Internet cafe area.
A few white-collar-like people went to the coffee area to sit down and order a cup of coffee.
This was also expected by Pei Qian.
Although this place is not a serious business district, it is still next to a marginal business district, and it is only one street away from the shopping mall.
People come and go, and it is inevitable that someone will stop by for a coffee or something if they are not in order.
A good Internet cafe, even if the price is inflated, it will not have no customers. That kind of scene is too beautiful and unrealistic.
There are a few customers, totally acceptable.
As long as it is controlled at a certain amount so that the income cannot cover the cost, it will be fine!
Pei Qian kept staring at night.
A few people came to drink, and Zhang Yuan also came on stage to sing two songs, and the atmosphere was okay.
It is not as deserted as it is during the day, but there are still very few people online in Internet cafes.
Pei Qian made a rough estimate, and I am afraid that this income is not enough to plug his teeth.
great!
Everything is planned!
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to go back.
And Ma Yang was obviously a bit hit and a little lethargic.
Such a good computer, such a great environment, the first day it opened, it was deserted!
This made Ma Yang a little unacceptable.
Pei Qian restrained the uncontrollable smile at the corner of his mouth and comforted: "It's okay, it's just the first day. You have to remember, old horse, this is the long-term layout of Tenda Group!"
"Don't say one day, it doesn't matter if you lose in the first three months and half a year! It will get better soon, understand?"
Ma Yang nodded, but obviously didn't hear much.
Pei Qian couldn't say too much, he just patted Ma Yang on the shoulder and left happily.
…
…
Sunday, March 14.
night.
Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang found a table by the window on the second floor and sat down, their expressions dignified.
Zhang Yuan took a pen and paper, and wrote and counted.
"Rent, 315,000 a month."
"We are a business of water and electricity. Water and electricity bills, procurement of various materials, and wear and tear will cost more than 10,000 a month."
"The salary is more than 60,000 a month."
"In other words, our Internet cafes do nothing for a month, and we have to spend 400,000 yuan just to spend!"
"Moreover, the Internet cafes invested in the early stage, these computers, equipment, decoration fees, etc., there are also two million."
"According to our turnover in the past three days, it can't even compare to the average small cafe of more than ten square meters. According to the current situation..."
"Don't talk about paying back, I'm afraid it will be a net loss of 300,000 a month..."
Listening to Zhang Yuan's calculations, Ma Yang's long face turned pale.
This is so... too exaggerated, isn't it
However, if you think about the business situation in the past few days, this number is reasonable.
There are too few guests!
There are more than 100 machines in the Internet cafe, let alone full of them, often there is a whole row of computers, and only one person is playing!
And it didn't take long to play.
The situation in the cafe can only be said to be a little better, with a little more people.
But many people come and sit for a day after ordering a cup of coffee, which doesn't cost much.
What is even more frightening is that even so, the coffee area is still unsatisfied with half of the seats, which shows how bleak the business is!
In the evening, not many people came to drink, and even Zhang Yuan came to the stage to sing a song, and the people who applauded and applauded were chatting little.
It's just embarrassingly capitalized!
So these two days, Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang were very worried.
Moyu Internet Cafe has a net loss of 300,000 yuan a month, which means that if you don’t have to do anything a day, 10,000 yuan will disappear.
This is simply a bottomless pit!
How much money can you afford to make like this
Zhang Yuan said: "Brother Ma, you have a strong relationship with President Pei. Do you want to tell him that we can't go on like this, we have to find a way."
Ma Yang said with a bitter face: "Brother Qian said, let's calm down. In any case, we'll see the situation in a week."
"In a week..."
Zhang Yuan looked at the date, next Sunday is the 21st.
It feels like... the days are like years!
"Hey, okay. Since President Pei said so, let's take a look."
"The key is that President Pei won't let us send people to distribute flyers, nor can we reduce the price, this..." Zhang Yuan couldn't understand this.
Obviously there is still a lot of profit space!
The internet fee will be reduced, the drinks will be cheaper, and there will be a card recharge activity...
This is not unreasonable!
But I don't know what Pei always thinks about not letting this happen.
So Zhang Yuan has no choice.
There is a problem with pricing, and it is useless to improve other places!
"We'll still listen to Brother Qian, and look at it in a week."
Ma Yang didn't think about it that much, so he made a point of it. Since Pei Qian specifically told him to do it, he should do it honestly and never make his own decisions.
"we can only do this."
Zhang Yuan is a little worried, and he doesn't know how many months he can get his salary of more than 10,000 yuan...
