Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 37: Internet Cafes Also Have Tricks
Seeing that Zhang Lingyu looked a little strange, Cheng Yi asked, "What's wrong? Was I wrong?"

"No, nothing. I'll go get a room now." Zhang Lingyu turned and ran.

She was afraid that if she stayed here for another second, tears would well up.

She is Sister Yu. It would be so embarrassing if she cried in public.

After Cheng Yi finished washing up, got dressed and opened the door, he saw Du Yusheng walking back and forth at the door, looking around.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Yi asked unhappily.

"I, I just want to ask what the arrangements are for today." Du Yusheng said as he kept peeking at Cheng Yi's room through the crack in the door.

Seeing Cheng Yi's questioning look, Du Yusheng lowered his voice and asked, "Boss, Sister Yu is not in your room?"

"She didn't sleep well, so I asked her to go to a room to catch up on her sleep. Do you have something to talk to her about?" Cheng Yi felt that something was wrong with Du Yusheng.

"No, no, no, it's okay." Du Yusheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Boss, you're really too strong. You even managed to win Sister Yu over. You drank too much last night, and Sister Yu was so concerned about you that she didn't even let me get involved."

"What do you mean? She and I are teacher and student."

"Teacher-student relationship?" Du Yusheng suddenly remembered the enlightenment disc he watched yesterday.

The relationship between teachers and students is good.

More exciting.

Cheng Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Du Yusheng's dirty thoughts and said, "Let's not go to the training class today. Let's go buy a computer."

"Okay." Du Yusheng became energetic when he heard about buying a computer.

He could already feel Red Alert waving at him.

The two of them had a quick breakfast and then went to the Internet cafe next to the Science and Technology Building.

Cheng Yi had just walked to the door of the Internet cafe when the owner of the Internet cafe also happened to come over on a motorcycle. Seeing Cheng Yi about to go in, he said, "The network administrator will need to sort out the computers soon. If you want to surf the Internet, come back at 9:."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Boss, don't you remember me?"

"Who are you?" The Internet cafe owner looked at Cheng Yi for a few times and said suddenly: "Oh, I remember now, you are a student in that training class. What? Have you decided to buy a computer?"

"Yeah." Cheng Yi smiled. "How many Celeron 1 computers do you have?"

The Internet cafe owner suspected that he had heard correctly and subconsciously said, "A lot. My Internet cafe just replaced the computers with new ones. There should be more than a hundred of them."

"900 per set, I want all of them that can be turned on normally," said Cheng Yi.

"You're not kidding me, are you?" The Internet cafe owner didn't believe Cheng Yi's words at all.

Considering Cheng Yi’s age, which is only about eighteen or nineteen years old, how could he have so much money?
Du Yusheng, who was standing next to him, saw that the Internet cafe owner didn't believe him, so he immediately said, "My boss is a business genius in our county. As long as the computer is fine, money is not a problem."

The internet cafe owner immediately put away his contemptuous attitude and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm a little surprised that you want so much at once. But this price is a bit unacceptable to me. Although my monitors are only 15 inches, they can still sell for a few hundred yuan, and they also come with a computer." "Computers are updated and replaced so quickly. The day you keep them, the value depreciates. Although my price is similar to those offered by second-hand computer dealers, I am more straightforward than them." Cheng Yi put on an attitude as if he had the internet cafe owner in his hands, and smiled: "As long as it can be turned on, I want it. I won't be picky."

The Internet cafe owner hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, sell it as soon as possible so I can make some money."

He made two phone calls, and soon a large group of young men with fierce looks arrived.

"You guys go upstairs and sort out those old computers for me."

"You guys, carry those computers piled in the corner upstairs."

The Internet cafe owner gave an order, and a group of young people immediately followed it.

"Come on, brother, sit inside first." The Internet cafe owner greeted him enthusiastically.

It is now past eight o'clock, and the all-night party at the Internet cafe has just ended. A bunch of internet-addicted teenagers are lying around in the cafe. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a pungent smell of tobacco.

The Internet cafe owner invited Cheng Yi into the network administrator's lounge and asked him while making tea, "Brother, what are you going to do with all these computers?"

"I'm a student at Handong University and I want to open an Internet cafe in the university town commercial street." Cheng Yi said the truth.

"University Town Commercial Street?" The Internet cafe owner was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

He handed Cheng Yi a cigarette and said, "Brother, if you really want to use these broken computers to open an Internet cafe, I suggest you go to a rural town, a university town commercial street. Dogs in that place would shake their heads when they see them. In one summer vacation and one winter vacation, rats would starve to death twice."

"I was just having a little fun, it's no big deal." Cheng Yi smiled.

The Internet cafe owner knew that good words could not persuade a damned person, so he laughed and said, "Well, let's be frank. I sold you this computer, and you can't return it."

"You gave me such a low price. If I return the goods, would I still be a human being?" Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, that's a great idea. When you've chosen your computer, I'll find a car to take it to you for free." The Internet cafe owner poured Cheng Yi a cup of tea and grinned.

"I don't know what to call you, big brother." Cheng Yi asked.

"My name is Xu Hu. You can just call me Brother Hu to them. If you have any problems that are difficult to solve in the future, you can come to me. I am quite well-known in this area." Xu Hu said proudly.

"Brother Hu, I have a question. Since you have a second floor, why don't you use those computers?" Cheng Yi asked curiously.

"Brother, you're an outsider, aren't you?" Xu Hu laughed. "To outsiders, internet cafes seem like they can easily make money, but there are many tricks involved. For example, my internet cafe currently has 150 computers. During the day, the average occupancy rate is about 12% to 2%, with peak hours between 8 noon and 10 p.m. At night, the occupancy rate is around %, with peak hours between and p.m."

"I can't just blindly expand just to increase evening attendance, right? If I add a second floor, I'll need two network cables. One 8M cable costs at least yuan a month, and two will cost yuan. I'll also need five or six switches. If I spend money on them, it'll be around or yuan."

"And looking at the current attendance rate, even if we expand the number of computers, the revenue won't increase much. Add in the repair costs, and all that goes into it, and we're throwing away hundreds of thousands of dollars a year."

"Also, internet cafes this year are completely different from last year. A lot of people have started playing online games, which really demand a lot of computer specs. My Celeron 1 used to be pretty good, I could play games like Stone Age, but then last month, a game called Dragon Clan suddenly came out."

"It's too much trouble for my Celeron 1 to run this Dragon Tribe. It's forcing me to change my computer."
