Chapter 260 Fengyun Internet Cafe Set Sail

After Wang Hao gave instructions to Chen Xingchan, Zheng Tianli and Yan Tie, he put his hands behind his back and looked around the Internet cafe casually, feeling deeply moved.In the entire BJ city, the BJ flagship store of Fengyun Internet cafes is the largest in terms of area and number of computers. At this time, most of the Internet cafes only have one or twenty computers, and the area is only three to forty square meters. , and the flagship store of Fengyun Internet Cafe has a super large area of ​​500 square meters, and the number of computers has reached 120. Such a move really has a taste of the flagship of the Internet cafe world.

In fact, according to Wang Hao's boss Zhang Lexing's idea, it is impossible for a flagship store to have only 120 computers and a scale of 500 square meters. He said that the area must be thousands of, and the number of computers must be at least 300. This is a flagship store for Internet cafes in big cities. look.However, Wang Hao doesn't think so. If it is such a large scale, the cost of decoration and hardware purchase will more than double. According to the plan, it will invest in the construction of flagship stores in other municipalities and provincial capitals in the future, and Not to mention how much money you need to invest at one time, it is just a one-time purchase of computers. Once hardware updates are needed in the future, there will be a lot of follow-up funds involved, and it is not easy to deal with the eliminated computers.

According to Wang Hao's vision, the construction of the flagship store and the purchase of computers do not have to be completed at one time, but can be divided into three parts, and one part is completed every six months. Then when hardware updates are needed in the future, only one-third of each update is required. One, as for other developed directly-operated stores, it can also be handled in the same way.For example, you can update the hardware every 6 months or so, and only update the earliest third of the purchase time each time. This will not cause too much impact on daily operations, and the funds required for each update of the computer will be much less. The performance of the eliminated computers will not be too bad, and they can also be used in stores in second-tier cities to continue to exert their residual heat.

When Wang Hao submitted his idea to his boss with detailed justifications, he was actually very disturbed. Based on his work experience, in many companies, once the boss decides something, the subordinates will only understand whether they understand it or not. It can be implemented, and the boss's decision is not allowed to be questioned.To his surprise, the boss didn't blame him, and actually accepted his suggestion, which made him feel very relieved.Wang Hao felt very lucky to meet such a boss, and his belief in making the business of Fengyun Internet Cafes bigger and stronger became more firm.

The decoration and decoration work of BJ's flagship store was originally entrusted to Zheng Tianli, the current store manager, but he would often come to have a look at it when he had time on weekdays. It was not because he was worried that Zheng Tianli could not handle it. Naturally, the designer is in charge of decoration and decoration, and he just wants to keep abreast of the progress.

Wang Hao is actually very busy during this period, because in addition to the preparations for BJ's flagship store, the flagship stores in Shanghai and Guangzhou are also busy with renovations. If it wasn't for the Yangtze River flood that threatened Wuhan, the preparations for the flagship store there were suspended. Maybe he has to travel another place.According to the progress, the flagship stores in Shanghai and Guangzhou will start trial operation next month. Speaking of which, it is now the time when the decoration is drawing to a close and the equipment is being installed and debugged. It can be said that it is the busiest time. After attending today’s simple opening ceremony , just take a look at the situation on the spot. In the afternoon, Wang Hao had to fly over to check the progress of the two places.

In addition, Wang Hao had to analyze the information collected and returned by the market investigators, and discuss the future layout of the Internet cafe with the people from the market development department.The plan of Fengyun Investment Holdings this year is mainly to improve these flagship stores, because there are not many Internet cafe managers on hand, and at most a dozen more stores will be stretched, which is not enough to support the Fengyun chain Internet cafes. The rapid expansion of Internet cafes, especially in the case of national chains, as for franchise stores, when the management force cannot keep up, blind development will only be a disaster, so Wang Hao plans to use the rest of this year to train more Internet cafe management talents , so that the management can keep up with the expansion next year.It is not like some companies that expand wildly as soon as they have a little capital, blowing quickly to the whole country like the wind, and then like a sandcastle by the sea, there is nothing left by the tide of the market.What Wang Hao pursues is a fast and controllable way of development, not like a car with broken brakes, which can only go forward faster and faster, and finally collapses.

However, when it comes to the future layout, Wang Hao does not understand one thing. From an economic point of view, Internet cafes will generally choose to lease when choosing a property. However, from the very beginning, the method of purchase was used, and it was even specially handed over to the Oriental Real Estate Company under the group to operate.Wang Hao also once put forward his own opinion, suggesting to try through leasing first, and then consider buying if it is suitable, but he did not expect that his boss was very persistent, and this was the only point he insisted on.Wang Hao is not the kind of stunned young man who can only be stubborn to the end. Since the boss has already adopted most of his opinions, there is no need to entangle the boss about a problem that is not particularly important.After all, the boss is still the boss, and he can't just reject all the boss's proposals just to express himself. Judging from Wang Hao's experience, it is not a good thing for both parties.

Anyway, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no harm to the development of Fengyun Investment Holdings. Anyway, every time it is necessary to set up a site, it can always choose a suitable place among the group's own properties, and the property management is also done by Dongfang Real Estate Company. Well, everyone is their own family. Although settlement is still business-like, at least there is no need to jump out and do some inexplicable "management" like some properties outside.It is even easier for Wang Hao to make future plans. As long as he chooses a suitable location, Dongfang Real Estate Company will immediately follow up and purchase the property. In this way, when it is necessary to actually arrange the location in the future, there is no need to worry about the place being occupied by someone. Then spend energy to re-find or re-adjust the plan.As for whether the purchased properties will lose money, this is not a problem that Wang Hao needs to worry about. He believes that even if the Internet cafe is not needed when it expands, at least there is no need to worry about no one renting it based on the location of those points.

……

He Xiaoyu is a player with a long history. If you count arcade machines, it has been more than ten years. When he first played in the street game hall, he was not half as tall as the machine. In order to be able to reach the joystick , he had to build a small bench.Now he is about to be a senior student, but this summer he did not go home, but stayed in BJ, because his sister helped him find an internship job and worked as a summer employee in her company Game tester, the time is one and a half months.

Now the time for the internship has passed, but the time for the start of school has not yet arrived, He Xiaoyu had no choice but to come out and find something to kill the time.He had heard about this newly opened Fengyun chain Internet cafe for a long time, and he knew that the first three days were free, so he found it. It was not that he was greedy for cheap, he just wanted to experience it first. Come.

He Xiaoyu has been to an Internet coffee shop similar to an Internet cafe a few times, but it is too expensive to surf the Internet there. At first, it cost 50 yuan an hour. Even if it is much cheaper now, it costs 1 yuan an hour. It has been so long Since then, he has only experienced it for an hour, and most of the time he used to just play online games with his friends.However, there are too few computers in those Internet cafes, usually only a dozen or so, and if there are a little more people going, they have to wait.

After receiving the free trial card and entering this Internet cafe, He Xiaoyu noticed a big difference. The Internet cafes he went to before were just as the name suggests, and a part of the Internet coffee shop was set aside as a coffee shop. The anti-computer side is much bigger, and the Internet cafe in front of you looks like it is almost full of computers one by one. If you make a rough estimate, there are at least a hundred of them. This scale and area are not what those Internet cafes can do. Than.

Walking into the lobby of the Internet cafe, He Xiaoyu had only one feeling in his heart at first glance, that is, "openness". He was used to seeing a small hall of a hundred square meters, but when he saw a place of 500 square meters, the gap in his heart immediately widened up.There is a bar counter on the right hand side of the hall entrance. With He Xiaoyu’s almost zero experience with decorative materials, he can’t tell what material the lower part of the bar counter is made of, but he can still tell the difference between the upper steel guardrail and the “glass” countertop. When it comes out, it looks very simple, but with the patchwork of green plants under the countertop, it is full of vitality in the simplicity. There are chandeliers of various colors hanging down in an orderly manner on the roof, just like the waves in the sea. Behind the bar counter There is a whole huge backboard inlaid on the wall, on which the golden word "Fengyun" is written like flying dragons and phoenixes, with a dazzling momentum.

Standing at the bar were two beautiful girls in water-red dresses who were busy with something. He Xiaoyu turned his eyes to the bar and walked to the bar before he knew it. Before he could open his mouth, one of the taller girls spoke He bowed slightly to him, and said with a sweet smile: "Hello, sir! Do you need any help?"

"Ah..." He Xiaoyu held back for a long time, but didn't know what he wanted to say, so he finally had to take out his free trial card: "This, cough, how does this work?"

The girl looked at the free trial card in He Xiaoyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Sir, this is your free trial card. You just need to choose a computer at random, and enter the number on the back of the card after turning it on, and you can enjoy a free trial card." Hours of free use time. If you encounter any problems in use, you can press the red button on the table, and someone will help you soon. Sir, do you need any help?"

He Xiaoyu sneaked a glance at the beautiful girl in front of him, and was about to say something, but he couldn't help feeling flustered, which made him cough several times in embarrassment. "It's okay, it's okay. Me, then I'll go to play." He Xiaoyu laughed dryly, turned around and left. As soon as he turned around, a wave of remorse surged in his heart, but when he turned back again, he was even more courageous I had no choice but to find an empty computer.

After He Xiaoyu walked away, another girl suddenly poked the tall girl who talked to He Xiaoyu just now, and said with a smile: "Sister Lily, what are you still looking at, everyone has gone away."

The girl named Lily turned her face away, and said to the girl beside her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Tao, what are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense, just now people have been secretly looking at you, besides, sister Lili, it's not like you didn't see the distraught energy when he left." Xiaotao said with a teaser.

"I'm about to die of anger at you," Lily shook her head helplessly, and said seriously, "Xiao Tao, can you be more serious, even Mr. Wang is here today, don't let him catch you."

Xiaotao glanced at Wang Hao who was standing in the distance, stuck out her tongue playfully, and honestly stopped talking, and the two of them continued to tidy up at the bar counter, wiping dust and tidying up their belongings.

He Xiaoyu pulled himself together and looked for an empty computer. This place is not like those Internet cafes with dozens of computers, which can be seen clearly at a glance. The half-height partition separates each computer like a half-open space. Like a private room, he can only judge whether the computer is being used by whether there is anyone on the chair. Fortunately, he came earlier, and after searching several rows in a row, he finally found a place.

He Xiaoyu pulled out the chair and sat down, and took a little look at it. There was a flat, rectangular monitor about 15 inches on the slightly compact computer table in front of him. The front panel of the monitor was silver, and the back cover was a color similar to dark black. , There is a golden "Fengyun" logo printed on the black case under the table, the keyboard and mouse are also black, and it seems to feel good to use.On the side of the computer desk, He Xiaoyu found the red button that the beauty just said, but he didn't think he should need it.

Reaching out to turn on the power of the monitor and the host computer, a self-check screen appeared on the screen soon. About 1 minute later, the operating system started to start, and everything was similar to what He Xiaoyu thought, except that the boot screen of the operating system looked a little different. Similarly, the words "Welcome to Fengyun Chain Internet Café" appeared against a very technological background, which made him look very strange.

"Could it be that this Fengyun chain Internet cafe can DIY its own operating system?" He Xiaoyu couldn't help but wondered secretly in his heart.

The operating system starts up very quickly, and soon a strange screen of He Xiaoyu flashes up, and the above prompt requires the user to enter the card number and password.

"Could it be that this is what the beauty said just now?" He Xiaoyu thought while typing in the number on the back of the free trial card in his hand.Sure enough, after entering the card number and pressing OK, a familiar yet unfamiliar desktop appeared.

The desktop in front of me is familiar and familiar. The icons such as "My Computer" and "Recycle Bin" that He Xiaoyu saw before are still there, but they are strange and unfamiliar, because there are some more "Fengyun" icons on the desktop. New icons for Games Collection, Music on Demand, and more.

Considering the purpose of his visit, He Xiaoyu casually clicked on "Fengyun Game Selection", wanting to see what's inside.A new window popped up on the screen, which was divided into several columns, such as "Home", "All Games", "Action Games", "Role Playing Games", "FPS Games"... "Online Games" and so on.The homepage is divided into several areas, namely what is the hot game recommendation list of this month, the 24-hour game hot selection list, the wind and cloud recommendation list, etc., as well as the classification lists of "action games", "role-playing games" and "FPS games" .

These new gadgets made He Xiaoyu feel very strange, but it was easy to make a choice. Anyway, just click one to start the game. Even if he clicked on the "All Games" column, it can also be narrowed down according to the first letter of the game name. Query scope.He Xiaoyu looked back and forth between those lists several times, and finally he chose a game whose name he had never heard of, intending to try something new.Following his choice, the screen went dark, and then a bright light appeared, and a brand new and novel game world slowly appeared in front of He Xiaoyu...
