"What?" Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately looked at the young man in surprise: "Are you the owner of this Internet cafe?"
"Yes." Cao Xingyu nodded faintly, and after sitting straight on the sofa next to Lin Fan, Lin Fan inadvertently glanced up and down with the eyes on his face.
Lin Fan looks about forty-five years old, with a beard, a Chinese character face, and a pair of small eyes. Although he is only wearing casual clothes, he looks very energetic to Cao Xingyu.
At the same time, Cao Xingyu came to a conclusion in his heart that he had never seen this person before, so what happened to him suddenly?
"This..." When Lin Fan on the side heard what Cao Xingyu said, he opened his mouth, the shock on his face was beyond words.
Many years of social experience have long cultivated Lin Fan's calm and calm mentality when things happen, but at this moment, he still can't control his emotions.
Obviously, he never expected that the owner of this Internet cafe would be so young!
"How old are you?" Although knowing that the question he asked was a bit naive, Lin Fan couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.
"Oh, 22, what?" Cao Xingyu curled his lips immediately: "Uncle, you are looking for me because you just want to ask about my age, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but breathe in the air. He was really only in his early 20s. He originally had a glimmer of hope. He thought that the other party might be a baby face, but it looks small, but he didn't expect it to be true. young.
Lin Fan, who has been rooted in the Internet cafe industry for 14 years, has also come into contact with many different Internet cafe owners over the years. Among those people, he has never seen such a young Internet cafe owner.
If it is a small Internet cafe with only dozens of machines, Lin Fan's heart may still accept it, but there are more than 200 machines in this love cafe in front of him!
More than two hundred machines, plus other costs for certification, decoration, rent, personnel, etc., must be invested at least one or two million, and the grade is higher, and the investment is about three million. It's all normal!
The average middle-aged person rarely can come up with this money, but the young man in front of him did it.
Think about him again. When he opened the first Internet cafe, he was in his early 30s. At that time, he not only invested all his wealth in order to open the Internet cafe, but also borrowed money from various places. This made it hard to open the Internet cafe.
Okay, maybe this kid’s family is in good condition, and his family supported him to start a business... After a while, Lin Fan recovered from the shock and came to a conclusion in his heart that he wouldn’t believe that Cao Xingyu’s age could be able to do it independently. That big sum of money.
The more I thought about it, the more Lin Fan felt that his conclusion was tenable and the most reliable.
Almost at the same time, Lin Fan suddenly realized why there were all kinds of measures that made him feel unbelievable.
Obviously, all the reasons are in this young man!
Because of being young, I will be ignorant. I will run this Internet cafe so unscrupulously and regardless of cost. I will break the normal operation of Internet cafes and turn a good Internet cafe into what it is now!
understood the reason in his heart, Lin Fan basically knew it in his heart, and knew how to talk to this young man next.
Then, Lin Fan introduced himself: "I'm Lin Fan, the owner of today's Internet cafe on Haiao Street."
"Oh, that Internet cafe today, I know." Cao Xingyu first thought about it, then nodded: "Hello Boss Lin, my name is Cao Xingyu."
After a pause, Cao Xingyu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why does Boss Lin run into my internet cafe? Is there anything wrong?"
I didn’t come here because you were messing around and breaking industry rules... Lin Fan sneered in his heart, and said, "That’s right, I heard that your Internet cafes had a charge of 100 for 200, a while ago. So I was a little curious, so I came here to take a look."
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Cao Xingyu pursed his mouth and said, "That's it."
Looking at the gesture of coming to the door in person, it seems that my Internet cafe has been too popular recently, and it has made the business of Lin Fan's Internet cafe worse...Cao Xingyu thought in his heart.
Think about the scene where the daily attendance rate of Qingyuan Internet cafes was generally between 40% and 50% to the scene where the daily attendance rate of Qingyuan Internet cafes is now full. Where do these extra people come from?
Obviously, some of them are people living nearby. Usually these people don't go to Internet cafes very much, but after seeing such a big discount, they can't help but try to get a card. Some of them didn't like the messy Internet cafes before. People in poor environment, but after seeing the high-quality environment of Qingyuan Internet cafes, they happily go there, and most of them are guests from other Internet cafes nearby.
After having a general guess in his heart, Cao Xingyu didn't think much about it. It is normal that there will be commercial competition in any industry. In this regard, he does not have any psychological burden.
"I'm quite a bit older, so let me call you Xiao Cao." Lin Fan paused and said, "I'm here this time. I just checked your Internet cafe and found some problems. Let me I have to say a few words."
"Well, what's the problem, but Mr. Lin said it's okay." Cao Xingyu didn't care about the name or anything, and said calmly.
"Little Cao, you actually didn't open an Internet cafe like this." Lin Fan first spit out a concluding remark, and then patiently said to Cao Xingyu: "Look at your current Internet cafe staff, just one shift. There are more than ten! How much labor cost does this cost each month? There are other measures I won’t elaborate on one by one, but it’s obvious that these measures will undoubtedly be greatly increased. Increasing the cost of Internet cafes! And opening an Internet cafe map is not just to make some easy money. If you increase the cost of operation like this, how much profit does the Internet cafe have?"
"Oh, then tell me how to open an Internet cafe." Cao Xingyu suddenly understood the other party's intentions this time and couldn't help but smile.
"Well, depending on your age, you may have just contacted the Internet cafe industry. It's normal if you don't understand it. I can understand it." Lin Fan thought that Cao Xingyu had listened to him. He laughed: "In fact, it is very simple to open an Internet cafe. Recruit two or three waiters and one network manager for the shifts, so that they can maintain the daily hygiene of the Internet cafe and provide some simple services. Try not to invest too much money in this aspect, and you don’t have to deal with the environment and hygiene. , It doesn’t matter if it’s dirty, because the customers of Internet cafes are a bit special, and they are very capable of accepting the environment. I care too much, so in addition to equipment, some other things do not need to spend our energy and costs, customers are completely acceptable. In this way, the monthly profit of Internet cafes will naturally be more. And those beverages Snacks should be sold at the price of entertainment venues. They have to drink water every day. UU reading will definitely buy them. Don’t engage in low-price strategies. Making more money is king. I said These are almost some unspoken rules of Internet cafes. Everyone does it like this. This is also the normal state of Internet cafes that everyone knows."
"Oh, that's all." Cao Xingyu smiled, in other words: "I understand and understand everything you say, but why don't we try to change because customers have a high acceptance of the environment? Why do I have to be like you? I opened an Internet cafe to open up my own characteristics. I think there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, if you look at it, the business of my Internet cafe is also very hot. That means that my approach is not. correct."
"Xiao Cao, you have broken the rules." Lin Fan's tone became a little heavier.
"Rules?" Cao Xingyu was instantly delighted when he heard these words: "Is it possible to follow your rules to comply with the rules? Who made this rules? I must follow your rules? I don't. What will happen if you follow the rules?"
"Little Cao." Lin Fan said earnestly: "You don't do business in Internet cafes. Do you know that this is a vicious competition? And, you don't think you can do this, other people can't? Don’t be too naive. People who can open Internet cafes are more or less capable. If you have to cut off people’s finances, if you really push people in a hurry, if you really get to that point, then I’m just Can invest all costs to improve the service of Internet cafes and provide a lot of discounts, the big deal is that everyone makes less money. I don’t think you really want to see the situation where both loses and loses? So in my opinion, you did it. All those fancy gadgets can be withdrawn, and everyone can make money together with the kind."
"Heh." Upon hearing this, Cao Xingyu couldn't help but sneered: "If I understand correctly, are you threatening me?"
