Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 255 Revenue Routines of Diskless Workstations
In fact, Fang Jie has long thought about the free promotion routine, but he always felt that doing so was too black-hearted, and he was afraid that he would be scolded and embarrassing in the future.

Since Lingwo proposed this idea on his own initiative, then it's "free", it doesn't matter.

It has to be said that the free routine proposed by Ling Wo hit the G-spot of the owner of the Internet cafe, and it was quite effective.

The Internet cafe management system has not yet had time to be promoted to the outside world. He just slipped through the Internet cafe owner business communication group in advance. That night, more than a dozen Internet cafe owners privately asked him to request that their Internet cafes be transformed into diskless workstations immediately.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the huge potential benefits of diskless workstations. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the core competitiveness of Internet cafes.

When boiling Internet cafes can play countless games and watch a large number of movies and TV shows, other Internet cafes can only stare blankly, still worrying about which games to install or delete.

It is precisely because of this that more than half a year has passed, and no one dares to open a new Internet cafe on Gongda Road and the nearby streets to compete with Boiling Internet Cafe.

All fools know that opening an Internet cafe next to Boiling Internet cafes is courting death, and they also know that Boiling Internet cafes will definitely not install diskless workstations for their competitors.

This side of Gongda Road is not bad. After the branch of Boiling Internet Cafe on Jiangda Road opened, three nearby Internet cafes closed down in less than half a year. In this era of "If you want to be rich, open an Internet cafe", such a thing happened. It can only be attributed to being attacked by aliens, which is a natural disaster.

Everyone knows what kind of benefits the black technology of diskless workstations can bring, but the high installation fee has discouraged most Internet cafe owners.

For a small Internet cafe with 20 computers, the installation fee is 1 yuan.

For a large Internet cafe with 100 computers, the installation fee is 5 yuan. If you include the server and network card, the cost will be at least 10 yuan. It is painful to think about it. It is better to add more than a dozen computers to earn more money!
But now, the setup fee is free...

Fuck, then you have to get in the car quickly!

Even if there is a maintenance fee of 5 yuan per computer per month, that is not much. The maintenance cost of a small Internet cafe is only 100 yuan a month, and the maintenance cost of a large Internet cafe is only 500 yuan. Sprinkle water!

As for buying additional network cards, servers, etc., those are things that can be seen and touched, and what you buy is your own fixed assets, so it’s not a loss!
So from the next day, Ling Wo and his group of friends started the painful and happy daily life of 007.

At the beginning, everyone was thinking of ending early and resting early. People on the 20th rushed into an Internet cafe, and one person was in charge of debugging a computer. In just two hours, a small-scale Internet cafe was settled.

But there are so many customers, there are thousands of Internet cafes in Jiangcheng, and the Internet cafes that got the news also joined in the renovation project of diskless workstations.

Even if they don't rest for 24 hours, they can manage at most 10 Internet cafes a day. After the entire Jiangcheng is done, they have to wait in line for 3 months to go there. This is not counting the newly opened Internet cafes with more than 50 computers.

After discovering that something was wrong, Ling Wo quickly recruited people, and at the same time seconded a group of technicians from the company, and then dispersed all the original 20 people, leading a team by one person to take charge of an Internet cafe, so that Jiangcheng's needs were finally met. .

However, the business here in Jiangcheng has not yet been completed, and the owners of Internet cafes in other cities in the province have also been approached, then the surrounding provinces and cities, and finally the Internet cafes across the country...

In short, since the first day of the release of the free installation fee routine for diskless workstations, this business has been endless. It is better to say that Lingwo is locked in by this business than Internet cafe owners are locked in by Boiling Company. It took many years to climb out of this pit, and at that time, the hair on his head had already fallen out...

Of course, during this period, other companies seized the diskless workstation market, but all of them ended in dismal.

The reason is simple - do you know about the Internet cafe management system?
Boiling Internet cafe management system does not support other diskless workstations, which is very cheating!

Why do people in later generations jokingly call the Internet cafe management system a boiling "big bastard" project?
It is because the tortoise's shell is hard, once it becomes powerful, it can defend 360° without any dead angle, and it cannot be broken at all!
Just like Tencent in the previous life, since the number of users exceeded hundreds of millions, as long as they don't kill themselves, they are basically invincible.

While the promotion of the diskless workstation business is accelerating, the benefits it brings are also increasing day by day. The whole process is like stealing money.

If it is an old Internet cafe renovation project, the working group will tell the Internet cafe owner: First of all, our diskless workstation is called diskless because other computers have no hard disk except the server.

Therefore, the hard disk on your computer is meaningless. Now you have two options, either keep it as a spare, or disassemble it and sell it as a second-hand product.

By the way, a friendly reminder: If you want to sell it at depreciation, our working group also undertakes the recycling business of old hard disks, and can recycle them in batches according to the recycling price in the market.

The owner of the Internet cafe heard it, of course it was recycled. The recovered money can be used to buy the server of the diskless workstation, so it has been calculated——Great, we have completed the transformation of the diskless workstation without spending a penny Wow!

But in fact, many of the hard disk arrays of their servers are composed of their old hard disks, and only a few hard disks used to process key data and programs are new.

So with such a left hand and right hand, the diskless working group made a fortune.

A simple calculation, a 30G new hard disk 1280, even if it is recycled at half price, it is 640, and then sold as a new server hard disk to an Internet cafe, a hard disk earns 640...

This is much more profitable than the installation fee of 500 yuan per computer on the surface, and it is hard for people to notice. After all, the hard drives all look the same. It is really impossible to use the hard drive of Internet cafe A in Internet cafe B. Even if something goes wrong, it will not affect the actual performance of the diskless workstation.

Then an Internet cafe has at least 20 computers, that is, 20 hard drives, which is the hidden income of 12800!

Of course, at the beginning, some employees objected internally, thinking that this was an act of profiteering, but Ling Wo, who is open all year round, pushed back with one sentence: the technology of diskless workstations is given away for free, so why don’t you allow it? Let's earn some labor fees, I'm not doing charity!
In addition to the hard disk income, there are also hidden income such as network cables, network cards, switches, and server configuration.

Among other things, just a rebate for a server, if you buy it from the computer city, you can get 500 yuan, not to mention that Boiling still buys it directly from the manufacturer, and the actual profit of it...is indescribable.
