Chapter 271 The Necessity of Developing Internet Cafes (2/4)

Reducing the entry price of a computer to 2,000 yuan, in fact, most families in China still cannot afford it. Buying a computer requires a year's salary to pay, and most people are unwilling.

If you want to popularize personal computers on a large scale in China, the price of ordinary computers should be equivalent to one to two months' wages of ordinary workers. Obviously, this is impossible now.

Although he hopes that the computer products of Qinglong Technology Company can be purchased by the state on a large scale, he will not pin all his hopes on this.

Prepare for the worst in everything. If the amount of government procurement is insufficient, it will seriously affect the domestic market share of Qinglong Technology's computers.

Although the technology of a certain computer is not very good, it is a state-owned enterprise after all. When the government purchases it, it may not fully consider technology and price factors.

So he had to find a bigger market in the country, so Internet cafes came into his field of vision. In fact, he had this plan a long time ago.

Shengshi Culture Company has a Shengshi Entertainment Company under Shengshi Culture Company, and one of its businesses is to open Internet cafes. In his opinion, since it is impossible to buy it separately, it is better to share it.

He would like private capital to participate, but given the current situation, it is unlikely. Internet cafe machines are mainly used for playing games, and the configuration of the machines should not be too bad.

Including rent, decoration, labor, etc., if you want a better environment, the average investment for a machine is about 10,000 yuan, and the smallest Internet cafe needs about 50 machines, which requires an investment of 500,000 yuan.

In this era, how many people can come up with 500,000 yuan of funds. In order to match their income, the cost of surfing the Internet should not be too high.

If calculated on the basis of an average of 5 yuan per hour, a machine can only earn 120 yuan a day even if it is open all day long. In fact, it is impossible to be so saturated. A machine can earn 80 yuan a day, which is considered a good income. .

Calculated in this way, it seems that it only takes about 4 months to pay back the cost. In fact, the cost of electricity and network costs are very high, and it is quite good to be able to pay back the cost within one year.

This is still catching up with the situation of fewer competitors. If the competition is very fierce, it is not bad to be able to pay back in one and a half years, and the maximum payback period of a machine is about 5 years.

This is still when the market is very good. If the competition is fierce, the machine may have to be replaced in about 3 years. The period for making real money is actually very short.

And Ye Zishu chose to invest in Internet cafes,

And to keep the price very low, the main purpose is not to rely solely on Internet cafes to make money, but to increase the number of Internet users as the number of Internet cafes increases.

His industries will also expand accordingly. Whether it is his Internet companies or his game industry, they will all be able to develop rapidly.

Therefore, he thinks that opening an Internet cafe in China will have a very high comprehensive benefit to his industry, and he even thinks it is acceptable to operate with a guarantee of capital.

As for the food, beverage and other business operations attached to Internet cafes, in this era, they will not have a large proportion of income. On the contrary, they may have a good harvest in the promotion of games and application software.

In fact, the concept of Internet cafes does not exist in the world at present. According to evidence, the first Internet cafe in the world was opened by the British on September 1, 1994.

The first Internet cafe in my country was opened in Shanghai in 1995, and the Internet access fee was 20 yuan per hour. According to Ye Zishu, this fee is outrageously expensive.

In his opinion, if he has the money to spend 20 yuan an hour on the Internet, the family is not bad money, and he already has the strength to buy a computer on his own.

It is precisely because of the high cost that before 2000, the development of Internet cafes in China was not very good, and the market size was limited.

It can be said that Shengshi Entertainment, a subsidiary of Shengshi Culture Company, may be the first company in the world to eat the cake of Internet cafes, and he is relatively optimistic about its development prospects.

In China, the income of the people may be low, and the average Internet access fee should not be too high, but the situation in foreign countries is different. It is no longer a pure Internet cafe, a bit like the Internet cafe in the previous life.

Thinking of this, he prepared to draft a global Internet cafe development planning document while he still had some time. He planned to let Shengshi Culture Company invest 10 billion yuan in Shengshi Entertainment Company for the development of the global Internet cafe industry.

The money will come from Shengshi Film and Television Company and Shengshi Advertising Company, and the shortfall will be borrowed from Taiji Group Company to ensure that it can grow and develop in the first place.

The first to eat crabs, the income is very rich, and the benefits obtained are also the greatest. When the competition is fierce, they will adopt methods such as price reductions to compete.

Since the cost was recovered in the early stage and the low-profit operation was carried out in the later stage, it was also profitable for Shengshi Entertainment Company, but it could prolong the cost recovery cycle of competitors.

In this case, competitors will not be able to continue their operations. It may take one and a half years to recover the cost in China, and it may only take half a year to a year to recover the cost abroad.

In his opinion, this is a very worthy investment project, not to mention other associated benefits, but the benefits of the project itself are enough for him to invest heavily in it.

What's more, most of this huge investment has returned to his industries to promote the development of his semiconductor electronics industry.

And a series of publicity around Internet cafes, even recharge channels, are very beneficial to the development of his Internet and game industries.

Therefore, in his opinion, the huge amount of money invested is nothing compared to the huge benefits brought to his industries.

In the document he wrote, he mainly talked about the business model that countries with different levels of economic development should adopt, and also explained the cultural differences of major countries and regions.

Different countries with different cultures have different business models of Internet cafes. At the same time, the purpose of each Internet cafe is also different. Some are purely for surfing the Internet, and some may be just a cheap accommodation space.

Therefore, according to different customer needs, Internet cafes also need to change their operating methods to meet the actual needs of different target groups. These are all points that need attention.

Finally, there is the composition of the Internet cafe's income, which he also needs to describe in detail. From the very beginning, Shengshi Entertainment can plan according to this document, and it doesn't take long to explore.

Although the first person to eat crabs may obtain huge profits, if the business model cannot be developed and matured as soon as possible, it may just be a way for the latecomers, and eventually make a wedding dress for others.

So from the very beginning, he explained the very mature development models of various Internet cafes, which can further speed up the speed of Internet cafes' return to capital, and at the same time, they can expand rapidly.

In addition to revenue, there is also the construction of related Internet cafe management systems. For example, in order to save equipment procurement costs and personnel maintenance costs, it is necessary to use a diskless Internet cafe system.

At the same time, in the management of Internet cafes, it is also necessary to realize software informatization, further reduce the consumption of personnel costs in Internet cafes, and at the same time realize accurate calculation of expenses.

All things added up, there is still a lot of content, he doesn’t even have time to go to the cafeteria for lunch, so he just asks someone from the administration department to bring him a copy

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, before Ni Guangnan came over, he had just finished writing the planning document, and then sent people from the administrative department to Wang Changtian.

At the same time, he asked the administrative department to notify the heads of each subsidiary of Shengshixi to arrange a meeting of Shengshixi tomorrow to make arrangements for Shengshixi's company structure and personnel appointments.

Chen Xiaoxu has worked in Shengshi Advertising Company for nearly a year. Such a long time is enough for her to adapt to the management of Shengshi Advertising Company, and she can be appointed as the person in charge of Shengshi Advertising Company.

Then Wang Changtian was mentioned as the person in charge of Shengshi Culture Company, and all the subsidiaries under the Shengshi Department were completely integrated, so that the group company could officially operate.

On the one hand, it is to further integrate the resources of the Shengshi family, so that some resources that were originally of little value can gain more value.

On the other hand, in order to better expand new businesses, such as Internet cafe business and business, this year will gradually enter the development period, and Wang Changtian will be responsible for these, and he is unwilling to spend energy on it.

If you want to maximize your own value, you must know how to maximize your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Ye Zishu is clear about his own strengths, which are the extra decades of experience and the technical information in his hand.

Apart from these two things, his abilities in other areas are actually not outstanding, so he will try his best to do some practical work in the future, and the actual work must be handed over to more capable people.

This is also why he has always been keen to find people who have proved to be very capable in his previous life to join him, because he is more at ease when the actual work is handed over to these people.
