Sunday, January 9.
A slightly strange-looking phone booth stood up on the top floor of the Huanyutian Street shopping mall.
This floor is mainly a movie theater, but there are also some claw machines, milk tea shops and so on.
This slightly odd phone booth stands beside the wall on the way to the cinema and is easy to see from the escalator.
The phone booth is covered with transparent glass on all sides, and the sound insulation effect is good. There are special ventilation openings above, so that you will not be suffocated if you stay in it for an hour or two.
On the outer side of the phone booth, the metal frame on both sides of the glass is wider than the rest, which looks like a deliberate blank effect.
This is where Zhang Xuan's imagination left the artist to play.
On the other two sides, the left side is relatively rich in technology. Through the glass, you can see an electronic display screen with a poster on it.
The side on the right is deliberately decorated in a phone booth style, and you can see the retro phone inside through the glass.
In addition, through the glass, you can also see some things on the desktop inside, such as the water dispenser, ifi, three-port charger, bookshelf, etc. on the desktop.
Because it has not been fully prepared, the planned jukebox, beverage machine, etc., have not had time to move in.
Soon, many people gathered around.
"what is this?"
"It doesn't seem like it was the last time I came here."
"Isn't it written on this billboard, sharing phone booth advertising space to attract investment."
"Pfft, what the hell, a shared phone booth?"
"Hahaha laughing to death, such a sand sculpture project, hurry up and take a group photo!"
Soon, many people who came to Huanyutian Street for shopping took pictures outside the phone booth and posted pictures in the circle of friends.
There are also many people trying to explore what this phone booth can do.
This is the first and only shared phone booth in Jingzhou. It is the first "prototype" that Zhang Wang rushed to work in his hometown in the past few days.
The first batch of products ordered from the manufacturer has not been delivered yet. In order to see the effect of this shared phone booth faster, Zhang Juan decided to bring the "prototype" he made to test the water first.
During the process of moving, I found a moving company, and the installation was quite convenient, and it was completed in more than an hour.
As one of the core business districts in Jingzhou, Huanyutian Street can definitely guarantee the flow of people. This is also an experiment to see if everyone can accept this new thing.
Soon, a couple took out their mobile phones and scanned the QR code on the door of the phone booth.
"Shit, it's so expensive?" The boy was a little confused.
After scanning the code, a rather rudimentary page appeared on it, which was obviously made in a temporary hurry. There are charges for this shared phone booth:
All items in the phone booth are bundled, billed once every 15 minutes, and 10 yuan per 15 minutes.
This is the price for one hour of Internet access at Moyu Internet Cafe.
You can use social accounts or mobile phone numbers to quickly log in, but you must pay first, because the shared phone booth does not consider the user's deposit.
After payment, the door of the phone booth will automatically open. After the user enters the phone booth and closes the door, the charging port, ifi, etc. inside will be powered on and can be used normally, and the timing will start.
After the time is up, if the customer does not renew the time, the equipment in the phone booth will automatically be powered off and can no longer be used.
The customer leaves the booth and closes the door, and the door automatically locks when it detects that no one is in the booth.
It can be said that the initial functions are very simple, but the basic functions of the shared phone booth are barely completed, and the process of use is not very convenient.
Also, there are a lot of loopholes that can be exploited, such as the fact that some people can sit in it all the time and have free hot water if they don't go away - as long as they are thick-skinned.
Not only that, but a large part of the items are missing, such as beverage machines, jukeboxes, aeds, scales, etc., which are not available yet.
The beverage machine is because the problem of use cannot be solved temporarily. If customers are allowed to refill the cups indefinitely, it will definitely be a dog. However, if each user can only be given two free cups, special beverage machines must be purchased. Therefore, for the time being, only Can be replaced with free hot water;
The jukebox needs to discuss cooperation with some singing apps, and the equipment also needs to be purchased uniformly;
As for aed, it also needs to be purchased and cannot be delivered in a short time.
However, Zhang Zhang believes that this is a research and development project after all, and it can be gradually improved and improved in the future.
Put the ground on the ground first, and get familiar with everyone. These various functions will be slowly stuffed into it later.
The first couple who tried to scan the code hesitated outside the shared phone booth, but left without paying to enter.
The main reason is that I don't feel that I have just needed to enter here, and the price is a bit expensive.
Compared with this narrow, cramped glass box, they would rather find a coffee shop or dessert shop and spend money to buy two drinks to sit and rest.
There are quite a few people taking pictures around the phone booth, but none of them have actually scanned the code to pay.
After taking a few photos, many people who had gathered to watch the lively dispersed. Some of them went to the nearby milk tea shop to buy drinks, and some went to the cinema.
At this time, another couple came to the shared phone booth.
The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the phone: "Hey, that phone looks great, hurry up, I want to scan the QR code to go in, take a picture of me!"
The girl simply scanned the code to enter, stood in the phone booth, picked up the hanging retro phone, and made a few poses.
The boy was outside reluctantly but helplessly raised his mobile phone and took pictures with a "click".
"Okay, it's over."
The boy also entered the phone booth and showed the girl the photo on the phone.
"Well... your photography skills still need to be improved, forget it, that's it."
The girls reluctantly accepted these photos, and then turned their attention to the interior of the shared phone booth.
It looks a little rough, but it still looks solid.
"Best sellers, comics on the shelf, free paper cups, free hot water..."
After the girl looked around all the projects, she was silent for a moment: "I spent ten yuan for the co-authorship, just took a few pictures, sat and rested for a while, and drank two cups of hot water... Blood loss."
The boy silently picked up a comic from the bookshelf: "It's just an IQ tax."
Girl: "...Are you saying that my IQ is not good?"
…
Diagonally opposite the shared phone booth, in a dessert shop.
Zhang Li and He Desheng were drinking drinks while keeping an eye on the movements of the shared phone booth.
"Three hours have passed since the mall opened in the morning."
"It caused a lot of onlookers, but the only one who really paid was the girl who was posing for the photo."
He Desheng sighed softly: "That's why I suggested you before, don't worry, or wait until all the functions of the shared phone booth are perfected, and the art design is in place, before moving to a big shopping mall."
"If you move a semi-finished product like this, it's strange that users will buy it."
"After all, it seems that the price/performance ratio of this phone booth is too bad. After entering, you can only sit and read comics and drink some free hot water, and it costs 10 yuan for 15 minutes and 40 yuan for an hour. Enough to surf the Internet at Moyu Internet Cafe for four hours."
"The most critical beverage machines, jukeboxes, etc., are not yet available."
Zhang Li's eyes were firm: "It doesn't matter, when all the supporting equipment of the shared phone booth is installed, everyone will understand the pricing."
"So... what's going on with the artist, I'm more concerned about that."
He Desheng shook his head: "I asked, but I couldn't find a very suitable one. After all, Jingzhou is not like a city like the imperial capital and the capital, there are so many big cows..."
"However, I think President Pei should have a way. After all, Tengda's main business is making games, and he will definitely be able to contact some well-known painters."
"But... we've almost exhausted our budget, and asking President Pei to pay for artists, will it arouse President Pei's disgust... "
Zhang Juan said firmly: "Then let me tell President Pei! I believe President Pei will understand."
He Desheng was silent for a moment: "Well, yes, as long as you tell President Pei about the ultimate form of the phone booth in the plan, I believe President Pei will understand."
Zhang Li shook his head: "That won't work, I'm an honest person, I must report truthfully what this project looks like now."
"Boss Pei trusts me so much, how could I fool him!"
"I believe President Pei will appreciate my honesty!"
"I appreciate your honesty... What a naive idea." He Desheng supported his forehead, "Okay. If you were in Fuhui Capital, you definitely wouldn't be able to get money like this."
"But Mr. Pei has always had a discerning eye, so maybe he'll make a difference..."
He Desheng originally wanted to give Zhang Wang some advice, but after thinking about it, what qualifications do he have to give advice to others...
I haven't even learned 1/10,000 of President Pei's way of investing, and Zhang Li has already made a project that President Pei will approve of.
Whatever, can't handle this...
He Desheng changed the subject: "The manufacturers responsible for the production of telephone booths, karaoke apps, beverage machine manufacturers, etc., have all replied to me. The money should be in place. The problem should not be big, and the first batch of aed defibrillators are already on the way. already."
Zhang Juan nodded: "Besides, this app needs to be improved."
"In short, when the artists are in place, and the purchased items are also here, we can announce that the shared phone booth is officially operational!"
"I'll call President Pei first."
Zhang Li took out his phone and called President Pei.
Then, in a calm tone, he reported the current situation of the phone booth one by one.
…
On the other side of the phone, Pei Qian broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that Zhang Li had opened a phone booth in the shopping mall.
But then, he was relieved a lot.
According to Zhang Li, he remodeled the structure of the phone booth, made it bigger, and put it in the shopping mall.
But so far, he has been posing all morning, and only one girl has made 15 yuan by scanning the code for posing.
The initial investment for this phone booth is about 40,000 yuan, and the rent for the venue alone costs nearly 1,000 yuan a month.
Of course, Zhang Li also briefly mentioned that he "is working hard to improve the consumption experience of customers, and I believe it will be effective soon."
In the end, Zhang Li finally got to the point, hoping that President Pei could help find an artist to paint on the front of the shared phone booth, adding a little artistic flavor to the phone booth.
Hearing this, Pei Qian found that the prospect of sharing the phone booth was better than he thought!
According to Pei Qian's original idea of putting in less than 10,000 yuan and placing it on the side of the road, if this phone booth is placed for half a year, at most it will lose more than 10,000 yuan.
Finally, dismantling and selling scrap iron and glass may be able to recover some costs.
But according to the current way of doing things, if you put it on for half a year, you can lose about 50,000 yuan!
One phone booth loses so much, what if there are a hundred
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt refreshed, and almost had to make a decision to directly call Zhang Wang 5 million and ask him to build a hundred phone booths.
But on second thought, reason prevailed over emotion.
What Zhang Li said, "I'm working hard to improve the consumption experience of customers, I believe it will be effective soon", although it sounds like a polite remark, a perfunctory leader to cheat money, it is very unbelievable, but Pei Qian always I feel uneasy.
Because many of his employees have said similar things, and almost all of them have been honored...
Thinking of this, Pei Qian resolutely controlled the devil in his heart, and felt that he still couldn't trust the employee's side words.
"Take a photo of the current shared phone booth and send it to me."
After a while, the photo arrived.
Pei Qian took a look and found that the phone booth looked quite big, but it was very simple after a closer look.
Moreover, there is a table, two folding chairs that can be folded to the wall, a few lonely books on the bookshelf, and a water dispenser that looks rather rudimentary.
A few people were watching, but apparently none of them were interested in entering.
Don't lie to me, it's so cool.
Sure enough, I saw the wrong person, such an honest employee is rare!
Pei Qian is very happy. Since he said he wants an artist, he must find a way to satisfy him!
It happened that Ruan Guangjian was in Jingzhou.
Pei Qian thought about it: "Let Ruan Guangjian paint a large oil painting over there? The one that is two meters high? According to his current price, 50,000 yuan is not too much, right?"
"And no matter how good the painting is, at most everyone can take pictures outside and watch, and it will not have any direct impact on the income of this shared phone booth."
"Huh? If there are 50,000 phone booths and ten phone booths, wouldn't it be 500,000?"
"That's a good idea!"
Pei Qian originally thought this was ridiculous, but after analyzing it, he found that this was obviously a surprise, and a good way to spend money!
Ask Ruan Guangjian to paint 20 telephone booths, and in an instant, one million was spent.
Even if Ruan Guangjian had to settle the settlement at the friendship price, why would he have to pay 500,000 yuan
I just don't know if the big guy's body can stand it. Anyway, President Pei's money is completely fine.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately said: "Yes, I will solve the artist's matter."
"In addition, I will give you another 500,000 yuan, and you can't miss any of the 20 phone booths originally scheduled!"
