Chapter 437

The most fashionable sports in the 1980s were dancing, skating, billiards and bowling.

However, the tide is also graded. As a result, the more resources a sport needs, the more foreign it seems to be.

Dancing and skating belong to the general trend, especially dancing, often a radio, a big horn, and then find an open space to dance, it's very simple, and the future square dance is very similar. Of course, the participants are the same group.

In addition to commercial dance halls, staff dance halls were the mainstream in the 1980s. All factories and mining institutions often built their own staff dance halls, and they also sold tickets for external charges. These conditions were acceptable. Dance halls with low charges played a significant role in promoting dance culture. Correspondingly, after workers' status plummeted, In turn, the staff dance hall greatly weakened its value.

The level of billiards depends on the level of consumption. In 1984, there were already snooker in Beijing, which was charged by the hour. In Kuanjie alley, the street billiards cases were also full of people.

Although dance halls, ice rinks and billiards rooms are already full of new things, they can't keep up with bowling alleys.

Apart from other things, the floor of the bowling alley alone can make the men and women who come here for the first time soft legged and easy-going rich businessmen, without thousands of yuan in their arms, enter the bowling alley of forty or fifty in each round, and they have no confidence at all.

The more high-end places like this, the more fashionable men and women will be attracted to bowling alleys, just like the horse riding archery golf of later generations.

I'm not afraid you're expensive, but I'm afraid you're not the most expensive!

Wang Guohua and others came in with Yang Rui, only to feel a little confident.

Even so, Xu Jing kept pulling her clothes, obviously feeling a little nervous.

"We need three ways." Yang Rui stood at the door to pay.

The waiter saw that it was a group of students. As soon as he wanted to say something, he saw a pile of banknotes. He swallowed what he said and said, "there's one road. We have to wait for one and a half hours. The other two roads have to wait for more than two hours. Do you want to wait?"

"Wait." Looking at it, there are 20 roads in total, full of people, without waiting, there will be no play.

"It's 45 yuan for each round. I'll give you nine rounds first. Can I play by other players? Do you want a coach? The coach is free. " A round of bowling is 10 rounds. There are two pitches in each round. If there is no one-time knockout, 10 rounds is 20 pitches. If one person bowls together, it is normal to finish a round in a quarter of an hour.

A bowling game or practice in which more than one person participates requires more than one round.

9 In a personal game, under normal circumstances, it's natural to start 9 innings at the same time, 10 rounds for each person, 20 pitches, and record the score of each knockout.

In this way, it takes about two and a half hours to finish nine innings. Even if they are all novices, they usually don't take more than three hours.

According to 45 yuan per game, it costs 400 yuan for nine people to play bowling for three hours, with an average of more than 130 yuan per hour, which is definitely more than the monthly salary of ordinary workers.

Wang Guohua listened to the number, eyebrows are a jump, quickly grabbed Yang Rui, said: "otherwise, we will first open a good."

"You can't start a game first." Yang Rui clapped his hand and said in a low voice, "aren't we here for investigation? It's OK. We can pay for it. "

With that, Yang Rui paid the waiter, asked him to make an invoice, and found the coach.

In fact, it's unnecessary for him to say that the waiter just wrote out the invoice.

For such expensive sports, unless they are foreign guests, few do not need invoices.

However, there are many foreigners playing here.

At a glance, Yang Rui found that at least half of the fairways are played by foreigners, while three-quarters of the foreigners are East Asian.

In Asia, the first popular bowling was in Japan. It took them more than ten years to introduce it to China.

It can be said that today's Japanese are in the middle of the bowling enthusiasm similar to that of China in the 1990s. It can almost be predicted that countless Japanese are forgetting to eat and sleep while bowling.

The cost of 45 yuan a set is also very easy for the Japanese in the bubble economy era.

"Have any of you ever bowled?" The coach came in genial.

"They're all novices." Yang Rui said with a smile.

"Then I'll talk about it together, and then I'll give you all the corrective actions." The coach went on to talk and demonstrate.

After a while, Yang Rui and others went on the stage in order, experimented several times, and they played happily.Among them, Cao Baoming learned the fastest, only for the fourth time. He knocked down ten bottles twice, and was excited.

"Isn't it fun?" Yang Rui stands next to Wang Guohua, who has knocked down six goals.

"It's fun, it's fun, foreigners can really play!" Wang Guohua's series of exclamations.

"The sports center we built will be a bowling alley as the first step. Do you have any opinions?"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!" The people of Ruixue group raised their hands one after another.

Liu Shan was slightly worried and asked, "is this bowling alley so advanced that the cost is very high? Those automatic bottle changing machines are very expensive

"The investor is responsible for the cost, and we can prove that the profit is high enough." Yang Rui himself is the investor and knows what to pay attention to. If it wasn't for the high profit of bowling alley, Yang Rui would not choose this project.

Wang Guohua pinched his fingers and said, "45 yuan per game, four games in an hour on average?"

"In fact, we can't play that many games, because we are all novices. It's possible for slow players to play a game in half an hour. In addition, the coach's teaching time should also be included. It's inevitable to lose money in opening up new markets. However, it takes a while for each group of players to teach, and it takes a lot of time. It's about three games an hour on average. " Yang Rui made some corrections.

Liu Shan was slightly surprised, and said: "on average, if you play three games an hour, you can earn 135 yuan from one fairway. If you play 20 fairways, you can earn 2700 yuan an hour?"

After calculating this number, several people were shocked.

"It can't be said that we have earned 2700 yuan, and the turnover is 2700 yuan. We have to subtract all kinds of expenses. The electricity and parts costs are the major ones. The construction cost of bowling alley should be averaged out, but we do earn enough..." Yang Rui said with a smile.

80 The bowling alleys from the mid-1990s to the mid-1990s are actually very similar to the Internet cafes from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. Their initial investment is relatively high, but once they are put into operation, there is a steady stream of cash cows.

Like Internet cafes, bowling alleys run for a long time every day. After 10 a.m., they are almost full. This kind of state can last until 8 or 9 p.m. for 10 hours. For 20 Lane venues like Lido Hotel in Beijing, it means an average of 2. More than 70000 turnover.

The reason for the above is that there is still income in the early morning.

Just like Internet cafes have night packages, bowling alleys also have discounts after the wee hours, usually 25 yuan per game or less. This can ensure that the bowling alleys run at full load in the wee hours of the weekend, or have about half of the usual pick-up rate. No matter what, the bowling alleys will make a lot of money.

In addition, soft drinks, snacks, beer, as well as the business of renting shoes, selling shoes and bowling can also bring a lot of revenue, at least enough for the daily expenses of the stadium.

In the late 1990s, the same bowling alley was extremely miserable. The fee of less than 10 yuan per game was even less than that of the mid-1980s. In the most miserable stadium, the membership fee would even drop to two or three yuan per game. Even so, the ordinary 20 Lane stadium still could not be full, let alone the early morning income.

By about 2000, the fairway of Lido Hotel in Beijing was broken, and no maintenance was done at all. Some small bowling alleys were even reluctant to turn on the air conditioner or close their doors directly.

Yang Rui doesn't care how long the bowling alley will be open, but it's best to enter the factory from 1984. If customers are full, the principal of a stadium can be recovered in a few months.

In fact, in the current environment, the more fairways are built, the less the cost of the venue will be shared equally, and the faster the cost will be recovered, just like the larger the Internet cafe, the higher the profit margin.

There may be a lot of people who can see bowling alleys making money, but in 1984, few people were able to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to build bowling alleys.

"I'll go to a place tomorrow, find investment, and then buy equipment like fairways. You can also ask where there are suitable venues to build stadiums. By the way, you can find some familiar students in your own schools. If you are willing to work part-time, we will train them in advance. " Bowling alleys were extremely tall in the 1980s. Employing college students to do part-time jobs in such places can also improve the service quality and enhance the style to a certain extent.

Wang Guohua and others were quite excited and immediately began to discuss.

Yang Rui handed a bowling ball to Liu Shan and said with a smile, "it's your turn."

Liu Shan took it with a smile and made a non-standard sliding move. Her loose sweatpants suddenly stretched out of the curve.

"Whew..." the whistle sounded. But four 20-year-old youths, with drinks, just passed by.
