Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 54 The Birth of Internet Cafes

"How about it?"

"Zhong?" Elsa looked up at the huge plaque above the store door. There was only a red "Zhong" on the plaque.

"middle!"

Zhuogo was very satisfied with the name of his shop. The shop of Feitian Hongzhong Sect should be named Hongzhong.

"Just hanging a symbol, how can anyone know what your store does?" Aisha asked puzzledly.

"This is called high-class feeling. Those who engage in fan circle economy do this. You will know it later."

"It's strange."

Drogo took over the largest store on Cornflower Street, and after a friendly exchange, the original owner of the alchemical materials store happily sold the store.

This was a truly friendly exchange. After all, he was a respectable figure with several businesses under his control and he had already passed the stage of primitive accumulation of capital.

There are four floors in total, and each floor covers an area of ​​nearly two thousand square meters. Soon this place will become the first game hall, or Internet cafe in the history of Feilin Continent.

The first and second floors are the public area, and the third and fourth floors have mid- to high-end private rooms. The supporting facilities range from street snacks, alcohol and beverages to celebrity chefs' private dishes, but smoking is only allowed in designated smoking areas.

Recharge the internet fee. No, the word internet fee doesn't sound high-end enough.

After paying the membership fee, you will get a card made of iron, copper, silver, gold, secret silver, and refined gold dragon scales. The required membership fee increases gradually.

Drogo guarantees that there is no other store in the entire continent that can stably provide top-quality dragon scale materials.

He knows all the living ancient dragons, and he is the only one who knows how to collect the fallen skin fragments. This is called business acumen.

In order to ensure sufficient supply, he also intercepted Fulin's bath water, filtered out the debris inside, and then removed the complete transformation spell applied to it, restoring it to the dragon scale form.

Although it sounds perverted, the whole implementation process was indeed perverted. Drogo had to give up all his knowledge of Chinese painting before he got Fulynn's consent.

But making money is not shameful.

At that time, top-level membership cards will be available in red and gold.

That was a card that could only be obtained by spending 10,000 gold coins. Although Drogo himself couldn't imagine why playing games would cost so much money, he believed in the strength of the rich.

You can also get souvenirs by upgrading your membership level. From ordinary knives and shields to magic accessories, they are all specially designed. They don’t have to be practical, but just look good, with the aim of enhancing the guests’ sense of belonging.

In name, brands serve consumers, but in reality, brands that make a lot of money are all trying to become the "daddy" of consumers.

By creating a strong sense of belonging, consumers are made to believe that they and the brand are one, forming a kind of religious cult, and those who attack the brand are considered "heretics."

And "devout" consumers will take the initiative to give gold coins to the brand every once in a while.

Maybe this world is just a huge masochist.

Zhuo Ge himself had argued with others hundreds of times over mobile phone brands before, but now thinking about it, it seems a bit abstract.

The Earth's brand still has to at least perform, but he doesn't have to worry about it at all. Feitian Hongzhong Church is a religion in the first place, and the church explodes believers and gold coins much more ruthlessly than he does.

Boycott the game Drogo will not do anything to anyone, just dare to boycott the church.

Drogo had tried it, and didn't want to try it again any time soon.

What kind of god should the Flying Red Sect's god be? Drogo wondered.

You can't tell the truth either, because what you believe is a piece of corpse.

Why not just call him the God of Entertainment?

God of entertainment, Bliss, Lemen.

The plan is good, but there is still a slightly important part missing before the opening.

game.

Now in the huge store, there are only claw machines, gashapon machines, and a few auto chess game machines.

The production capacity is insufficient and it is urgent. Other music games, fighting games, horizontal level-breaking games and dance machines are all under development. The illusionist is responsible for the software, and the dwarves of the Forge are responsible for the hardware.

Barn is very efficient. The hardware design is complete and he is waiting for the software to be adapted. Since he was inspired by hearing aids, he has now begun to study magic devices that can help people with various physical disabilities.

As for the software part, although there is the support of the Visual Inscription Workshop, the number of illusionists is really limited.

Ever since Drogo spread the news of the salary he offered to illusionists, mages from many schools began to change their majors, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

But these are all okay, after all, they are just side dishes in the Feitianhong game store, so they can wait.

As for the real main course, the auto chess game machine was completely out of stock.

Drogo still oversimplified the mechanized assembly line that produces specific products. A yo-yo and a game console are not the same thing.

Reality is not a business simulation game where you pile up the numbers, click on R&D, and then wait for the progress bar to finish. If it's too slow, hire a few more R&D staff.

In reality, the more people there are, the progress may not be faster, but there will definitely be more trouble.

As talented scientific and technological workers, the goblins are a bit too dependent on inspiration. In other words, their project management capabilities are simply appalling.

So now the construction process of the new assembly line can only be described as chaotic.

Drogo wanted to try to plan it, but unfortunately he was powerless. Ren 82 explained the design ideas to him three times, but he still didn't understand in the end.

But I could see a hint of disappointment in Ren 82's eyes.

This was the first time in Long’s life that he was looked down upon by the goblins.

If it weren't for the fact that he is an important scientific research talent, he would have been exiled to Long Island to shovel farm manure.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be a big deal whether the Internet cafe opens a few months earlier or later, but there is a reason why Zhuo Ge is anxious.

There are only two months left until the opening of the Twin Towers City World Expo.

This is the largest cultural and business exchange event held every five years.

Not only representatives from Feilin Continent, but also representatives from other continental countries and merchant groups will arrive by then.

Nowadays, you can occasionally see foreigners on the streets of Shuangta City who have come to prepare the venue in advance and whose clothing styles are obviously different.

And Drogo wants to take this opportunity to promote Auto Chess and the network it is bound to, and turn the Twin Towers City LAN into a truly global Internet.

People with magical powers can trigger the red rune to connect to the Internet, but ordinary people can only rely on machines, which are very expensive, so they need business groups from various countries to act as agents and open Internet cafes everywhere.

Drogo believed that as long as the merchant groups were not blind, they would be able to see the commercial value of this place.

Internet cafes are facing a blue ocean market and are making money by carrying a sack.

Of course, given the situation on Earth, if you want to invest in opening an Internet cafe, it is recommended that you burn the money, at least you can see the fire.

The prerequisite for opening Internet cafes all over the world is that the technology for mass production of game consoles can be mastered.

At least we have to prove to the merchant group that the goods can be supplied.

Where can I find someone who can understand these goblins?

Zhuo Ge asked Ren 82 to write up the technology they were currently researching and submit it as a paper to all the laboratories in the institute.

Whoever replies will be invited.

After a week of anxious waiting, I finally received the only reply letter.

From a professor named Connor Moore.

Zhuoer also sent a background investigation report on the professor.

Zhuo Ge took a quick look and said, "The main focus is to develop a machine that can convert complex function formulas into differential operations..."

"Wait, this is a Difference Engine?"
