Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 198 Telecommunications Company
At this time, Tenglong Internet cafes around the world are extremely hot, almost overcrowded, and the supply exceeds demand.

Many people come here to play games. It costs 3 yuan per hour in China and 3 dollars abroad. Compared with buying a Shenzhou computer for 4999 dollars, it is really very cheap, and it also saves money on buying game discs.

America, California, Los Angeles, Tenglong Internet Cafe.

"Follow me!"

"Brothers, follow me! We must wipe out all the terrorists in this round!"

exclaimed Solomon Harrison excitedly.

His love for the game "Counter-Strike" has reached the level of obsession.

Since this morning, he has played "Counter-Strike" for three or four hours in a row.

He secretly calculated that the price of China Computer is 4999 US dollars, the price of the "Counter-Strike" game CD is 160 US dollars, the total is about 5160 US dollars, and the Internet fee of Tenglong Internet Cafe is 3 US dollars an hour. Go to Tenglong Internet Cafe with the game money to play games, and you can play games for a total of 1720 hours. Assuming you play 8 hours a day, you can play for 215 days.In fact, it is impossible for him to play 8 hours a day. He is still in school. From Monday to Friday, he can play at the Internet cafe for at most two hours a day, but he can play longer on Saturday and Saturday.Therefore, instead of spending a lot of money to buy a computer, it is better to play in an Internet cafe.

What's more, he can also play seven other PC games developed by Wujiang Group without paying the electricity bill.

If he was asked to take out more than 5000 US dollars at a time, he would not be able to take out so much money.Parents will not spend so much money to buy him a China computer.

Solomon Harrison couldn't help but thank Wujiang Group for setting up Tenglong Internet Café, which can satisfy his desire to play games.

There are tens of millions of computer users all over the world, but if you want to play "Counter-Strike" team battle competition, you have to go to Tenglong Internet Cafe.

"Counter-Strike" stand-alone game, but it's not interesting.

Therefore, many people who have computers at home also go to Tenglong Internet Cafe.

Tenglong Internet Cafe is open almost 24 hours a day, earning a lot of money.

In addition, Tenglong Internet Cafe also provides a variety of beverages, such as Laoshan Coke, Tianfu Coke, Arctic Ocean, etc... If the fat water does not flow to outsiders, these beverages are all beverage brands under the Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye also plans to let Wujiang Group set up Wujiang Food Company to develop instant noodles, ham sausage and other foods to provide food for Internet cafe users.

In addition, Wujiang Group is about to set up a supermarket, which can easily promote its own food brands.

Zhao Ye did not expect that Tenglong Internet Café would be even more popular than he expected, probably because the Internet is not yet well-developed, and the number of users worldwide is less than 100 million.Many people do not have Internet access at home, so they choose to go to Tenglong Internet Cafe to play games.

Right now, not only the game "Counter-Strike" is on fire, but the five games "Diablo", "Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Red Alert" and "Resident Evil" are also sought after by players .

Domestically, the popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Great Voyage: Zheng He's Voyages" is second only to "Counter-Strike" and not inferior to "Diablo".

……

Borderless Group.

Zhao Ye called Gao Zhenghao, the person in charge of Tenglong Internet Café, and told him, "Quickly mobilize more people and open more Tenglong Internet Cafés!!!"

"Within one year, 2 Internet cafes must be built!"

"Among them, we will add [-] Internet cafes in China, [-] Internet cafes in the United States, [-] Internet cafes in Europe, [-] Internet cafes in Japan, [-] Internet cafes in South Korea, [-] in Canada, and [-] in Australia."

"Writing a training manual to instruct local Internet café managers and shop assistants."

Wujiang Group has opened branches all over the world, and Wujiang flagship stores are located in every corner of the world, with sufficient staff.

"By the way, when establishing Japanese Internet cafes, some Internet cafes can be built in the form of Internet cafes and hotels, with individual compartments, providing them with drinks, bathrooms, comics, and everything necessary for life."

It is now 1990, and next year Japan's real estate bubble burst and a serious economic crisis broke out.

Japan went from prosperity to decline, and the life of many Japanese fell from heaven to hell.In the previous life, the term "internet cafe refugee" was first introduced from Japan.Japanese Internet cafes have become the habitat of many Japanese people at the bottom.

Zhao Ye also really wanted to earn this money!
"Boss, it's not very cost-effective to build Japanese Internet cafes in the form of cubicles?" Gao Zhenghao was slightly surprised.

Zhao Ye smiled and said, "Isn't it enough that the price of the one with compartments is a little higher than the one without compartments?"

Gao Zhenghao couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words.

Speaking of this, Zhao Ye added at this time: "By the way, large Internet cafes can set up non-smoking areas to give girls a good computer experience!"

Girls also love to play games, not much less than boys.

Zhao Ye has to earn money from both boys and girls, so the chances of going to Tenglong Internet Cafe are high!
……

With Zhao Ye's order, the construction speed of Tenglong Internet Cafe soared again.

The decoration of Internet cafes is not complicated, and it can be completed in a month or two.

Moreover, the requirements for the appearance are not high, and it can be placed on the second or third floors.

Internet cafes have their own popularity, which will attract players to play.

As long as there is a conspicuous signboard is enough.

The explosion of Tenglong Internet Cafe has naturally attracted the attention and envy of many people.

……

Xing Liangcai has worked hard in Shenzhen for more than ten years and earned more than 100 million yuan. He suddenly heard that Internet cafes are very popular, so he couldn't help but go to find out.

When he came to Tenglong Internet Cafe, his face was full of shock. The Internet cafe with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters was crowded with people.There are more people watching than playing, as long as there is an empty seat, it will be taken by others immediately.

"The business of the Internet cafe is really good!!!"

Xing Liangcai couldn't help being dumbfounded.

He walked to the front desk, looked at the front desk lady, and asked, "Waiter, how much is it for an hour on the plane?"

"Uncle, hello, it costs 3 yuan for an hour to board the plane!" The front desk lady replied.

"So expensive?!" Xing Liangcai said in astonishment.

The lady at the front desk smiled and said: "It's not expensive, the national unified price is 3 yuan, you see, our business is full every day!"

At this time, the average monthly salary of Chinese people is: 600 yuan.

3 yuan an hour, which is not expensive!
However, seeing the good business in the store, Xing Liangcai was moved, and he also wanted to open an Internet cafe.

"Well, how much did you spend to open this Internet cafe?" Xing Liangcai asked.

The lady at the front desk, Bu Wanmeng, was stunned when she heard the words. She didn't expect customers to ask this question. However, she has received training. If a customer asks about opening an Internet cafe, they must answer the customer. High commission.

"Sir, do you want to open an Internet cafe?" Bu Wanmeng suppressed the excitement in her heart and said to Xing Liangcai.

"Yes!" Xing Liangcai nodded in response.

Bu Wanmeng introduced: "Tenglong Internet Cafe is a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, and is also responsible for promoting the Internet cafe business to the outside world!"

After a slight pause, he continued, "Let me first briefly introduce the special mode of opening an Internet cafe. The computers used in our Tenglong Internet cafe do not have hard disks, because we have adopted diskless network technology and established an Internet cafe server. Everything is placed on the Internet cafe server, which saves a lot of hard disk expenses!"

"Generally speaking, if you deduct the rent, decoration, tables and chairs, and only purchase computers and Internet cafe-related electronic equipment, you can invest 100 million yuan to open a medium-sized Internet cafe with 70 computers!"

"If you invest 50 yuan, the scale of the Internet cafe can only reach 30 computers."

"The bigger the investment, the more cost-effective it is."

"By the way, sir, how large an Internet cafe do you plan to open?"

Xing Liangcai thought for a moment, and said, "I plan to invest 100 million!"

If the investment is small, it is not cost-effective. If the investment is large, he does not have that much money, so he can only invest 100 million RMB.

If other expenses such as rent, decoration, tables and chairs are included, the total investment is about 110 million RMB.

Xing Liangcai secretly calculated an account, 70 computers, if they make money 24 hours a day, they can earn 5040 yuan a day. Pay back in 200 days.Of course, there will be staff expenses, electricity bills, maintenance and other expenses, but these are small things. Staff expenses, even if you hire two people, 1000 yuan per month, it doesn’t cost much for a year.

Xing Liangcai couldn't help but get excited. The Internet cafe business is really profitable. Even if he can't pay back his capital in 200 days, he should be able to pay back almost in a year.

The second year is pure profit!

The annual revenue exceeds one million yuan, and the profit is as high as seventy-eight million yuan, which is much more promising than the electronic watches he used to toss around.

Xing Liangcai couldn't help thinking that if he made money in the second year and continued to open Internet cafes, he would become a multi-millionaire within a few years!
Moreover, the Internet cafe business does not need to bother me, and I can make money lying down.

In the past, I ran around to buy and sell goods, but now it is much easier to open an Internet cafe.

This business is really awesome!

In fact, although the Internet cafe business is good, it is impossible for each computer to be open 24 hours a day. Once the novelty wears off, it is very good to earn 20 hours a day.

You may not be able to recover your capital in one year, but you can not only recover your capital in the second year, but also make a lot of money.However, the computers in Internet cafes are updated too quickly, maybe after two or three years, a batch of computers will have to be replaced.

The biggest winner belongs only to Wujiang Group.

Of course, if you increase the computer cost a little, you can earn it back in the first year.

In fact, Xing Liangcai thought so in his heart.

Since the supply is in short supply, why not increase the machine fee?
……

At this time, there are still many people as smart as Xing Liangcai.

For a time, a hurricane of building Internet cafes blew across the country, and even a resounding slogan spread: If you want to post, open Internet cafes! ! !

However, due to the relatively high cost of opening an Internet cafe, only a small number of people are able to do so.

In the previous life, there were 13.6 Internet cafes in China.This is only the official statistical data. Many black Internet cafes have not been included in the statistics, otherwise the data will be even bigger.

There are more than 3000 Internet cafes, and the supply is completely in short supply.

Zhao Ye felt that he had made a mistake. The boarding fee was too low. If he knew this, he would only pay 5 yuan an hour. When he connects to the Internet in the future, he would only pay 10 yuan an hour, and then gradually lower the price.

What is the reason for the price increase?

Zhao Ye thought about it for a while, and decided to forget it. Once a word is made, it is hard to follow, and the reputation of Wujiang Group is more important.

"However, since the boarding fee is not going up, can you plagiarize the game for nothing?"

"After the network is opened, if you want to play games, I have plenty of ways to get you to pay the fee obediently!"

Zhao Ye frowned at this moment, why didn't the country reply to him for so long?
It is imminent to invest in the construction of China's Internet!
As the saying goes, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

At this time, the phone rang.

It was Huo Xing calling for Minister Huo.

Zhao Ye saw the caller ID and quickly pressed the connect button.

"Hello, Minister Huo, last time I proposed to let Wujiang Group become an ISP Internet operator, did the discussion come to a conclusion!"

Huo Xingwei nodded with a smile and said: "Hello, Zhao Ye, there is indeed news, but the state did not agree to allow the Wujiang Group to monopolize the ISP, but Wujiang and the state jointly invested in the establishment of an ISP company, each holding 50% of the shares , the company can be handed over to Wujiang Group for operation, but the state will send people to supervise and manage it!"

When Zhao Ye heard this, he immediately laughed. What he wanted was this result. The reason why he proposed a monopoly was that there was room for regression and that the country should also participate.

Zhao Ye wants to develop the entire telecommunications industry. With the background of Wujiang Group alone, it may be difficult to pass. However, after establishing a joint venture with the state as an ISP Internet operator, he will have the opportunity to get involved in mobile communications in the future.

Didn't China Telecom simply do ISP at the beginning, and then with the expansion of business, it developed into a full-service operator.

At this time, Zhao Ye said to Minister Huo Xingwei: "Minister Huo, I agree with the country's decision, so let's set up a joint venture company, each holding 50% of the shares. I think the new company will be called China Telecom Corporation!"

Good guy, really good guy, Zhao Ye directly snatched the name of China Telecom Company, anyway, the other party hasn't been established yet, and probably won't even be established.

The Wujiang Group and the state have a joint venture to do an ISP, so there is no such thing as a China Telecom company.

So, let's simply call the joint venture company China Telecom.

When Minister Huo Xing heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay, no problem, let's call it this name."

In terms of names, the country has no special requirements.

China Telecom is indeed a good name.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help showing a meaningful smile.

"Minister Huo, since it's confirmed, we need to build the Internet backbone network first. I've arranged for people to plan the route for this matter. When the optical fiber is successfully developed, we will start construction immediately!"

"Ok, no problem!"

Zhao Ye has reached a cooperation intention with the country. For details, there will be talks with more professional people.

With the participation of the state, the green light can be given all the way, and no one will hinder the construction of the Internet backbone network.

You must know that the construction of the Internet backbone network involves a lot, especially the land issue, which Wujiang Group alone really cannot handle.

At this moment, Zhao Ye couldn't help being a little excited. He couldn't help but imagine that after the development of the domestic Internet, he would lead the global Internet wave and open the era of portal websites and e-commerce. That scene is really memorable.
