Chapter 6: What is the core spirit of the Internet?
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were questioned for a moment. They waited until Wang Ying returned to the bed before they whispered.
"Why do I feel that the eldest lady seemed a little unhappy just now?" Xie Qiao said cautiously.
Xu Lin curled his lips and said, "I guess we are disturbing her reading by being too loud. Leave her alone. The eldest lady's temper is a disease that needs to be cured. After staying with me for a long time, she has cured all her problems."
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early. I have to prepare for an interview with the English club tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go to bed too."
Xiao Qianxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and climbed to the upper bunk, but she kept holding the Nokia phone in her hand. Maybe she was too sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
.......
On the other side, Qin Hao was typing code in the dormitory.
Gao Feng stood behind him and watched for a long time: "Damn it, Lao Qin, class hasn't even started yet, and you know how to write code?"
Shen Qing had just finished taking a shower. Hearing this, he also came over and stared at it for a while: "This is Python, isn't it? Brother Hao, are you writing paid software?"
"That's right, a charging system for Internet cafes." Qin Hao said casually without looking back.
Cao Hexiang, who was originally lying on the bed, immediately came over after hearing this: "Brother Hao, how much did you pay for this job?"
"No money."
Hearing what Qin Hao said, Gao Feng and Shen Qing both breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't have any money, but it's okay. It's good to have a project and practice my skills."
When Cao Hexiang heard that he had no money, he immediately lost interest and complained: "It's boring to work for nothing."
Qin Hao shook his head: "Do you know what is the most attractive and core spirit of the Internet?"
The three Gao Feng looked at each other, then shook their heads blankly.
"It's freedom and sharing."
"The Internet is just a platform. People can express their opinions and ideas on this platform for anyone to see, and others can also express their own opinions on any opinions and ideas. This is freedom."
"Before the birth of the Internet, information could only be disseminated through fixed media such as books, television, and person-to-person transmission. But with the Internet, information is no longer isolated, but can be widely disseminated and shared. We are both recipients of information.
, can also be the disseminator and creator of information.”
"As for information dissemination, what is the fastest way?"
Gao Feng and the other three shook their heads again. They had been stunned by Qin Hao, as if a door to a new world had been opened, but they found that the door was only opened a crack and they could not squeeze in.
“It’s free!”
After saying that, Qin Hao ignored the three of them. If they could understand what he just said before graduating from college, it would be enough for them to use for life.
After a while, when Gao Feng got up, he found that Qin Hao was still sitting in front of the computer typing code, yawning and asking.
"Old Qin, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Qin Hao nodded: "Yeah."
"Damn it, you really work hard and you don't make any money, is it worth it?" Gao Feng complained.
Qin Hao smiled, is it worth it? His first pot of gold depends on this thing.
Soon, Shen Qing and Cao Hexiang also woke up. They heard that Qin Hao had not slept all night, and they felt that he was a little crazy.
Finally, on the weekend, Gao Feng and the three of them made an appointment to go shopping around Beiqing together.
As a result, when they came back at night, Qin Hao was still typing code.
"Old Qin, don't tell me that you didn't move at all this day and just sat here typing code all day."
Qin Hao gave the three of them a meaningful expression, making a fuss, this is just the daily life of a programmer.
"Brother Hao, why don't you forget it? It's not worth the damage to your body if you keep enduring like this."
"Isn't that right? You don't pay me and you press me so hard. You don't have to be so bossy."
Shen Qing and Cao Hexiang both complained.
Qin Hao stretched out: "Okay, it's almost done. I'll run a test and see."
After running the test, Qin Hao went to the cafeteria to eat something and fell asleep.
It was already Monday morning when they woke up. Gao Feng and the other three were all rushing to class, but Qin Hao directly stuffed his laptop into his bag and walked to the girls' dormitory.
"Hey, Lao Qin's classroom is over here."
"I know. If you have the conditions, you can answer it for me later. If you don't have the conditions, forget it."
Gao Feng's eyes widened: "No, Lao Qin, it's the first official day of class since the beginning of school and you're skipping class?"
"Yes, this is a required course."
"If you choose to skip the required courses, you must skip the elective courses. Welcome to officially enter the world of college students, bye."
Gao Feng and the others looked at Qin Hao's graceful leaving figure and almost forgot about the class time.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that Lao Qin is more mature than us. Compared with him, I feel like a junior high school student." Shen Qing smacked her lips.
"Damn it, I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but it turns out you feel the same way." Cao Hexiang swore directly.
"Stop chatting. It's time for class. If we don't hurry up, we'll be late."
Gao Feng and the other three came to the classroom in a hurry, and as expected they were all late. When it came time for roll call, Gao Feng felt anxious and held his voice and answered for Qin Hao. Only to find that the teacher passed the test without even looking at it.
Already.
"Damn it, old Qin Cheng won't bully me."
At the same time, Qin Hao had arrived outside the girls' dormitory area and called Xiao Qianxi. However, Xiao Qianxi did not answer the phone. Instead, he opened the balcony window and waved to Qin Hao.
"I'll be down right away."
Qin Hao was amused for a while. This girl really saved him money and was reluctant to even answer the phone.
In the dormitory, Xiao Qianxi picked up her small bag and walked to the dressing cabinet, took a picture, arranged her hair again, and asked Xie Qiao and Xu Lin.
"How's it going? Is it okay?"
Xie Qiao gave a thumbs up: "It's very beautiful. No problem, I'll definitely charm him to death."
"Well, with Qianxi's face and figure, she is qualified to be a star." Xu Lin also gave her full approval.
In fact, Wang Ying had woken up long ago, but she kept pretending to be asleep until the sound of Xiao Qianxi's footsteps gradually faded away, and then she sat up from the bed.
As if by accident, Wang Ying got out of bed and came to the balcony. Wang Ying watched Xiao Qianxi walking briskly and walking toward Qin Hao with a smile, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly emerged in her heart.
This made Wang Ying immediately alert.
"What the hell? Don't think wildly, you will have no results."
However, the next moment, the words Xie Qiao said that day echoed in my mind.
"If beautiful things like love are not worthy of our expectations with a small probability, then what's the point of this world?"
It seems that what Xie Qiao said makes sense.
Wang Ying hammered her head and said to herself: "Wang Ying, don't be infected by that love brain, you are different from her!"
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at Wang Ying's inexplicable behavior and whispered.
"What's wrong with the eldest lady? How come you're so good and you still end up harming yourself?"
"Isn't it because I'm possessed by evil spirits? Or did I eat poisonous mushrooms that day and didn't wash my stomach thoroughly?"
.......
On the other side, Xiao Qianxi walked side by side with Qin Hao, walking briskly.
Qin Hao smiled and said: "You don't even ask where you are going, are you afraid that I will sell you out?"
"It's a good time to sell it, let me see how much I'm worth." Xiao Qianxi smiled, her brows full of girlish agility.
"Then I won't sell it for the time being. It's too thin. I need to gain weight before selling it."
"Hmph, you are a pig. You can sell it by the pound."
While the two were chatting and laughing, they had already left the school gate, and Qin Hao then told Xiao Qianxi about his plan.
"Nothing for sale today?" Xiao Qianxi felt that she couldn't keep up with Qin Hao's thinking.
Qin Hao patted the backpack behind him: "Selling it, but I don't charge any money."
"If you don't charge money, are you planning to do charity?"
"The free ones are the most expensive."
Afterwards, Qin Hao took Xiao Qianxi to a commercial street near the school.
In 2001, the overall number of Internet cafes was not large, but in Beiqing, they had already formed a large scale. One person must be mentioned here, Wang Yuesheng.
This man is also a ruthless man. He came to the capital in 1997 with more than 800,000 yuan. At that time, Wang Yuesheng stayed in the capital for two full months. He walked from Sitongqiao to Beiqing every day and looked around. In the end, there were only two restaurants in the capital at that time.
In the case of an Internet cafe, I decided to open my own Internet cafe.
And he didn’t just do it in a small way, he directly rented a 120-square-meter house and bought 25 computers at once. The first three days of opening were all free. Within three days, the Internet cafe was packed with people. On the fourth day, the Internet cafe started charging.
The charging standard at that time was 20 yuan per hour. After waiting all day, there were only seven or eight customers coming to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet. After a month, the average number was only seven or eight customers every day.
Wang Yuesheng saw that there were not many people coming to the Internet cafe, so he simply provided free Internet access and free Internet knowledge training from 7:00 to 9:00 every morning in the Internet cafe. There was no need for customers to train themselves!
So by 2001, Wang Yuesheng's Feiyu Internet Cafe had opened 18 branches, with a total business area of more than 10,000 square meters, and was called "Feiyu Internet Cafe Street".
Qin Hao brought Xiao Qianxi to Feiyu Internet Cafe.
As the largest Internet cafe near Beiqing, if Feiyu Internet Cafe can be captured, it will undoubtedly be a huge brand effect for the promotion of Qin Hao’s Internet cafe management software. Later, he will go to other Internet cafes to promote it. When it comes to Feiyu Internet Cafe
If you also use my software, it will be more practical than Qin Hao saying 10,000 nice words.
Although Feiyu Internet Cafe is not small in scale, it is not much different from most of the current black Internet cafes. As soon as you enter, you can smell a strong smell of smoke mixed with sweat and foot odor. Xiao Qianxi immediately covered his face.
Hold your nose and frown slightly.
Qin Hao took a glance and found that there were not too many customers in the Internet cafe, and almost two-thirds of the seats were empty.
When Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi came in, the store manager was not enthusiastic and just asked casually: "Are you online?"
"I'm looking for your boss Wang Yuesheng."
The store manager looked at Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi suspiciously, but Qin Hao could name Wang Yuesheng, so he didn't dare to neglect, and said quickly: "What do you want from my boss? He's not here usually."
"Call your boss and tell him that I have a deal to discuss with him that can make him tens of millions."
If it were before, Xiao Qianxi would definitely think that Qin Hao was deceiving the store manager when he said he made tens of millions. However, after the experience of making 80,000 yuan in two days last time, Xiao Qianxi seemed to think that making tens of millions was not enough.
It's not impossible.
When the store manager heard that the two students were negotiating with his boss for a deal worth tens of millions, his first reaction was that they were liars, but when he saw Qin Hao saying this, he looked calm and relaxed, which was not the case.
After hesitating for a moment, the store manager dialed Wang Yuesheng's number.
At this time, Wang Yuesheng was still sleeping, and he was a little impatient when he was woken up: "Who is it?"
"The boss is me, Xiao Li, that's what it is..."
At first, when store manager Li said that two students came to him to negotiate a deal worth tens of millions, he thought they were liars. However, when the store manager handed the microphone to Qin Hao and the two chatted for a few words, Wang Yuesheng immediately jumped out of bed.
"Little brother, wait for me. I'll be there in twenty or fifteen minutes."
Fifteen minutes later, Wang Yuesheng arrived at the Internet cafe in a hurry. When the store manager saw that he was wearing the wrong socks, the left one was red and the right one was brown.
"Little brother, the plan for the membership recharge gift event you just mentioned on the phone is a bit interesting. Can you tell me more about it?"
After Wang Yuesheng invited Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi to sit down, he couldn't wait to say.
"Actually, it's very simple. On the one hand, the membership recharge gift activity can bind customers to Feiyu Internet Cafe to form long-term fixed consumption. On the other hand, it can help Mr. Wang obtain a large amount of liquidity. With these liquidity, you can completely carry out fission type
For development, use the money recharged by old Internet cafe members to expand rapidly."
“My suggestion is to cancel the temporary Internet access, conduct unified membership management, and increase the Internet tariff by one yuan. However, if you recharge 100 yuan and get 50 yuan, it is only a 20% discount on the original price, but it is
Large amounts of liquidity are available.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Internet cafes are simply a computer rental business. The more stores there are, the longer the computer rental time is, the more money you can make."
The more Wang Yuesheng heard about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. He now has 18 Internet cafes and the money he makes every month is already very large. If it were doubled or even ten times more, it seems that making tens of millions would be nothing.
wishful thinking.
Qin Hao did not forget the purpose of his trip. He opened his laptop and started to demonstrate his Internet cafe management software.
"Boss Wang, this is a set of management software that I specially designed for Internet cafes. Your Internet cafe still uses physical recharge cards. Customers have to bring the physical cards with them in advance every time they come online. This software of mine can directly transfer the customer's recharge card."
The identity information is recorded in it, and customers only need to enter their ID card and password to go online directly."
"And I also designed a customer call service here. Customers can call the network administrator directly through the management software, so that it will not interfere with other customers' access to the Internet."
Later, Qin Hao demonstrated other functions of the Internet cafe management software to Wang Yuesheng.
Wang Yuesheng nodded frequently, but refused to make a decision.
After Qin Hao finished his demonstration, Wang Yuesheng stopped smiling.
"Xiao Qin, your membership recharge plan is indeed very good, and your Internet cafe management software is also very good, with very complete functions. But in business, tell me how much do you plan to sell this software?
money?"
Qin Hao was happy. Was he worried that the price would be too expensive?
"No money."
"What? How much?" Wang Yuesheng thought he heard wrongly.
"No money, free."
"Is there such a good thing? Brother, are you going to give me free use first and then ask me to pay for it later?"
Although Wang Yuesheng opened an Internet cafe, in the final analysis he was still a business owner and did not understand Internet thinking at all. Besides, in 2001, there were not many people in China who really had Internet thinking.
"Don't worry about this, Boss Wang. We can sign a contract in black and white. My Internet cafe management software will always be free and I will never charge you an extra penny."
"Okay, as long as there is no charge, all my Internet cafes, including those opened in the future, will use your management software."
