H University will start school soon.
Guan Baiyu gave Qi Xiaowu a lot of the work of the study abroad agency, and hired two English-speaking experts to help them, and then paid them according to their workload. He didn't care much about this.
His main energy is on opening Internet cafes.
Every night, he would go over to take a look at the decoration, and contact people to buy various computer accessories.
There are also network cables, and he also has to find a telecommunications company to re-lay it for him.
Guan Baiyu gave himself a budget of 800,000 yuan before, but now he finds that some money is spent less than he thought, and some money is spent more than he expected.
For example, the laying of network cables is a lot of money, and the network fee is not cheap.
It's the decoration... Shi Zhen gave him some advice, and the price was much cheaper in the end.
But even so, the money was spent like water.
Mu Tian and Jiang Xingsheng knew more or less about what Guan Baiyu was going to do. Seeing that he didn't blink, they just threw out so much money, and they felt complicated.
If it was before, they would definitely persuade him to pay more attention to his studies, pay more attention to his body, and not only think about making money, but now they will not say it.
They were a little uncomfortable - this Internet cafe costs a lot of money, and Guan Baiyu... From the beginning to the end, he didn't mean to ask them for money or borrow money.
Aside from these, they have to admit that this child is really promising... In their school, which child is so young and dares to spend so much money to open an Internet cafe
The renovation of the Internet cafe started in late February, and by the end of March, it was almost finished, with only some finishing work to do.
Guan Baiyu originally planned to open in mid-April, but later found that it was too urgent, and finally decided to open on May 1, Labor Day.
This will allow you to recruit people for training in advance.
He remembered that there were not many staff in the later Internet cafes, but this time is different... Now the Internet cafes are still a new thing, and there will definitely be a lot of people to watch, so it is necessary to recruit more people.
In addition, the computer in the Internet cafe needs to input some programs for timing, install stand-alone games, etc... There are really many things to deal with.
After Guan Baiyu finished his class that day, he hurried out again.
When the classmates in the class saw him walking away, they all sighed: "Guan Baiyu is too busy!"
"Yeah... He used to live on campus, but he has recently applied to live on campus."
"I heard that he was starting a business, but I didn't know what he was doing."
…
The classmates in the class can't help but envy when they talk about Guan Baiyu.
That's why Cai Huidong was annoyed: "What kind of entrepreneurship? Most of them just rely on their parents to do a little business."
Everyone looked at him speechlessly.
Even if Guan Baiyu really depends on his parents... Cai Huidong himself has been talking about the fact that the professor is his relative!
Is it okay to rely on relatives, others rely on parents
Last semester, Cai Huidong pretended to be very rich, but this semester, the truth was revealed, and he still failed the class...
In their class, he was the only one who failed the class!
It's hard for everyone not to have an opinion on him.
However, they are busy studying, and no one is going to target him.
Cai Huidong's face darkened when he saw the expressions of these people.
He has really run out of money recently.
Last semester, he was rich. On the one hand, their family gave him the living expenses for one semester at one time. On the other hand, he was going to college, relatives, etc., gave him more or less red envelopes, so he had the money in his hand. Only a lot.
Later, he went to see Jiang Xingsheng and the others. The first time he came to the door, Mu Tian, as an elder, gave a red envelope. Later, he asked Jiang Xingsheng for money, and Jiang Xingsheng gave it several times, adding up to two thousand.
Many people live on two or three hundred a month! Two thousand is a lot!
But this semester...
At the end of last semester, Cai Huidong came to him, and found that he had spent all the money, so he was a little angry. This semester they gave him a bank card, and then they paid him month by month, every month Just four hundred.
Among the students in their class, the living expenses are four hundred per month, which is not a small amount, but he spent a little more last year.
The rich man's character that he carefully created last semester also collapsed of course.
Cai Huidong felt that his parents were too stingy and didn't even know how to give him more money! Look at Guan Baiyu, Guan Baiyu's clothes and shoes are more expensive than him.
Cai Huidong felt that the money was not enough, and there was another person... who also felt that the money was not enough.
That person is Liang Qinxuan.
During the winter vacation, he deposited all the cash he had in the bank to make up 400,000 yuan, and then gave it all to Guan Baiyu.
He is out of money.
He can only live on the 1,000 yuan of living expenses his father gives him every month.
One thousand yuan is not a small amount, the average salary in the provincial capital is only 800, and the minimum wage is only more than 200, but he has a lot of expenses.
The car he bought last year cost tens of yuan to refill once, and he had to refill it twice a month. His monthly phone bill was also tens of hundreds of dollars, and he was picky about food...
Liang Qinxuan, who used to relied on dividends to get along in the rich second-generation circle, now eats his friends' meals all day long.
"Liang Qinxuan, have you invested all your money here?"
"This Internet cafe looks good!"
"I don't think Internet cafes are interesting, but it seems that many people like them, and Internet cafes are quite profitable... You won't lose money on this investment."
…
Although the Internet cafe has not yet opened, but the computer has been installed, Liang Qinxuan brought a group of his friends here to play.
As soon as we arrived at the door, everyone felt that this Internet cafe looked very high-end.
When you follow Liang Qinxuan to the inside...
Shi Zhen likes the simple and generous, modern style with a sense of technology, and the design for Guan Baiyu's Internet cafe is like this.
At this time, people rarely decorate this style, and it looks... kind of cool.
Not to mention, the bar next to you can drink some cold drinks, which is made of black glass.
Guan Baiyu had already arrived, and was installing games on some computers. When he saw them, he asked them if they wanted to play.
At this time, computer games were not popular.
These rich second-generations with Liang Qinxuan usually have a lot of things to play with. Although they all bought computers at home, most of them have never played or practiced typing.
The computer was so cumbersome that it couldn't be brought to the school. There was no internet in the school... They just played around a bit when they were at home.
Now Guan Baiyu invited them to play... They tried the computer games they had never seen before.
They had played poker and minesweeper before and thought it was not fun at all.
Now... There are so many games on this computer! It looks like a lot of fun too!
Although computers have not been popularized in China at this time, there have been many game blowouts in foreign countries.
In the late 1990s, games were launched one after another.
This is actually one of the reasons why Internet cafes are so lively after 2000.
Guan Baiyu doesn't play games himself, but he knows that games are very attractive to many people.
So, he searched for the latest games and installed them one by one on the computer in his Internet cafe.
Liang Qinxuan, as well as these rich second generation, are playing the game for the first time, and as soon as they play... they become addicted.
"Grass, this cow!"
"This is so much more fun than hooking up to a TV!"
"I didn't expect this to happen!"
"This picture is so beautiful!"
…
A group of rich second-generation people who came to visit the Internet cafe ended up playing in front of the computer and had a lot of fun.
Not to mention Liang Qinxuan, his eyes were glued to the computer, and he couldn't look away at all!
Soon it was time for dinner. Guan Baiyu asked them what they would like to eat, and these people immediately said, "Just order whatever you want."
"Bread, just give me some bread."
"I want a hamburger! I'll take it!"
"Then I want a hamburger too!"
"Yes, hamburgers are better."
…
There is no doubt about the attractiveness of games to people, especially at this time, when there are far fewer things that can be played in ten or twenty years.
So... These people were immediately captured by the latest games on the market.
Guan Baiyu bought some hamburgers for them to eat, and continued to work on his own.
As a result, he was busy until half past eight, and these people didn't mean to stop.
Guan Baiyu said to Liang Qinxuan: "Liang Qinxuan, I'm leaving, how about you?"
"Let's play for a while." Liang Qinxuan waved his hand.
Seeing him like this, Guan Baiyu smiled and said, "You also like to play games? If you like it, you can come to play often in the future. There are better boxes upstairs."
"Box?" asked the person who was playing the game.
"Yes! There are boxes upstairs, I forgot to show you guys." Liang Qinxuan said.
At this time, these people stopped the game they were playing and said with great interest: "Is the box better? Take us to see it!"
Guan Baiyu said: "The private room is definitely better. I will put a computer with a higher configuration there. At that time, it will cost 5 yuan an hour to surf the Internet downstairs, and 10 yuan an hour to surf the Internet upstairs."
The rich second generation likes to be superior.
These people suddenly came to the interest: "You take us to see!"
Guan Baiyu took them upstairs.
There are all kinds of boxes, some are small with a computer desk inside, but some are bigger with several computer desks inside.
However, these computer desks do not have computers yet.
"In a few days, I will buy some computers with higher configuration to install here." Guan Baiyu said.
"When will you get it done? We will definitely come to play!" Someone said.
"It will definitely be done before opening! By the way, the upstairs and downstairs are a little different. You can calculate the money by the hour here, you can also apply for a membership card, and if you have a membership card, you can play here for unlimited time. You can also A box is packed here, and the box that is packed can only be used by the person who packs it."
"How are membership cards and private boxes calculated?" someone asked.
Guan Baiyu said: "The monthly membership card is 1,000, and the average is only 30 yuan a day. If you play here for more than four hours a day, it is definitely more cost-effective to apply for the card than to calculate the time alone. Ten thousand."
These people are a little excited, they think they can get an annual card, and then come to play whenever they want.
Guan Baiyu said again: "But even if you apply for a card, if there are many people and the seats are full, you will have to wait... The best thing is, of course, to directly package a few computers. Only you can play. And all the computers in Internet cafes will have their data cleared, but if you pack it, your computer's data will not be cleared."
The so-called card application and bag location are all things that Guan Baiyu came up with temporarily.
As for why he came up with this... Mainly because he ran out of money.
He put 100 computers downstairs, but he didn't fill up the space. The computer upstairs... that's completely out of money to buy.
He didn't want to borrow money, and it happened that these rich second-generations were hooked on computer games, and right on top of it, he came up with the idea.
"How much does it cost to pack a computer?" someone asked.
Guan Baiyu took them and opened the largest box upstairs. There were ten computer desks in this box, and a sofa and coffee table against the wall. The environment was very elegant.
Guan Baiyu said: "If you pack a computer, I'm here at 30,000 yuan a year, but I can give you a discount. I'll put ten computers for you in this box. It belongs to you, how about it? If you have any parties, you can come here, and you can bring your friends here to play."
As for ten computers, it used to cost 300,000 a year, but now it only costs 200,000!
The most important thing is that there is a special box here... What a cow!
The rich second generation looked at each other in dismay, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "We have packed this box!"
They came with Liang Qinxuan this time, there were eight people in total, and it was enough for each person to collect less than 30,000, which was okay.
These people agreed with Guan Baiyu that they would come to give money tomorrow.
Liang Qinxuan couldn't help but secretly gave Guan Baiyu a thumbs up—that's awesome!
Guan Baiyu was still telling him yesterday that he had no money to buy a computer.
Now that you have 200,000 in your account, you can buy 20 or 30 computers with this money, right
The key is that this box can only be packaged for one year, and the price can increase after one year!
And there is... According to Guan Baiyu, he intends to sell all kinds of food in the Internet cafe, and the Internet cafe employees can also help to buy food nearby... Of course, they all need money.
Is it possible for these rich second generation to play on the computer here, not to consume? impossible!
So even if they don't need money online, as long as they come here, they can send money to Guan Baiyu.
Liang Qinxuan was suddenly moved.
These people paid 200,000 yuan and only got the right to use the box for one year. If he paid 400,000 yuan, Guan Baiyu would give him 40% of the dividends. What a good brother!
After Guan Baiyu got the money, he used the 200,000 yuan to buy 30 computers and put them on the second floor.
These computers are, indeed, a little better than the ones downstairs—they have better screens.
The graphics card inside is the same, ahem.
Most people don't feel it anyway.
After the hardware of the Internet cafe has been dealt with, only the employees are left.
This Internet cafe, Guan Baiyu plans to open 24 hours a day, recruits employees in three shifts, just like the factory, the three shifts work in reverse, everyone will take their turn on the day shift and night shift, and occasionally someone has something to do, they can change shifts with others.
There are no restrictions on male or female network administrators, one per shift, and a monthly salary of 1,000.
The person in charge of selling snacks and beverages, two per shift, has a base salary of 800, and can get commissions after selling things. This job recruits women, and their monthly income should be higher than that of network administrators, but they still have other jobs to do, such as preparing work meals and cleaning Internet cafes.
In addition, a supervisor was hired, with a monthly salary of 1,000, and another commission. There is only one supervisor, working hours from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. In fact, he doesn't have much power, and even if the customer needs something, such as a hamburger, he is responsible for buying it for the customer, but in the same way, the tip belongs to him, plus the commission, if he does it well, the income should be the highest .
All the employees, including Guan Baiyu, invited local young people living nearby.
As long as he is not lucky enough to encounter strange things, such employees will most likely continue to do well, and will not suddenly disappear or do something that steals something and runs away.
The working environment of Internet cafes is much better than that of factories. Computers are relatively expensive nowadays, and smoking is not allowed in Internet cafes.
You can work here and have access to computers... There are quite a lot of applicants, including high school graduates.
Guan Baiyu chose high school graduates, and such people can learn things quickly.
Computers are prone to problems. Fortunately, those are the common problems. Guan Baiyu took the time to train them, and told them the rules and regulations of Internet cafes... After ten days of training, they will be able to do the job.
Now, just waiting for the May 1st Labor Day, the Internet cafes are open.
