I Have 100 Million Stores

"What?" Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately looked at the young man in front of him in surprise: "Are you the owner of this Internet cafe?"

"Yes." Cao Xingyu nodded lightly, and after sitting directly on the sofa next to Lin Fan, Lin Fan inadvertently sized him up and down.

Lin Fan looked about forty-five years old, with a beard, a Chinese character face, and small eyes. Although he was only wearing casual clothes, Cao Xingyu looked very energetic.

At the same time, Cao Xingyu came to a conclusion in his heart, he had never met this person before, so why did he suddenly come to him?

"This..." Lin Fan on the side opened his mouth after hearing Cao Xingyu's words, the shock on his face was beyond words.

Years of social experience has long tempered Lin Fan's calm and calm attitude, 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?" Even though he knew that the question he asked was a little naive, Lin Fan couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.

"Oh, 22, what's the matter?" Cao Xingyu curled his lips immediately: "Uncle, you don't just want to ask me about my age, do you?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but gasped. He was really only in his early 20s. He had hoped that the other party might have a baby face, but he just looked small, but he didn't expect it to be so. young.

Lin Fan, who has been in the Internet cafe industry for 14 years, has met many Internet cafe owners of all kinds over the years. Among them, he has never seen such a young Internet cafe owner.

If it was a small Internet cafe with only dozens of machines, Lin Fan might be able to accept it in his heart, but the Qingyuan Internet cafe in front of him has more than two hundred machines!

More than 200 machines, plus a series of costs such as certification, decoration, rent, personnel, etc., at least one or two million will be invested, and the higher-end ones will be invested around three million. It's all normal!

Ordinary middle-aged people are rarely able to come up with this amount of money, but this young man in front of him has done it.

Thinking about himself, when he opened the first Internet cafe, he was already in his early 30s. At that time, he not only invested all his net worth in order to open the Internet cafe, but also borrowed money from everywhere, so he finally opened the Internet cafe.

Well, maybe this kid’s family conditions are good, and his family supports him to start a business... After a while, Lin Fan recovered from the shock and came to a conclusion in his heart. That huge sum of money.

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Fan felt that his conclusion was tenable and the most reliable.

And almost at the same time, Lin Fan suddenly realized why there were all kinds of measures that made him feel unbelievable in the Qingyuan Internet Cafe.

Obviously, everything was due to this young man!

It is precisely because I am young that I am ignorant, that I run this Internet cafe so unscrupulously regardless of the cost, that I break the routine operation of the Internet cafe, and manage a good Internet cafe into what it is today!

Knowing the reason in his heart, Lin Fan basically knew what to do next and how to talk to this young man.

Afterwards, Lin Fan introduced himself, "I'm Lin Fan, the owner of Today's Internet Cafe on Hai'ao Street."

"Oh, I know that Internet cafe today." Cao Xingyu thought about it for a while, then nodded: "Hello, Boss Lin, my name is Cao Xingyu."

After a pause, Cao Xingyu couldn't help asking curiously: "Why did Boss Lin come to my Internet cafe? What's the matter?"

I came here because you messed around and broke the rules of the industry... Lin Fan sneered in his heart, and said, "That's right, I heard that your Internet cafe held a promotion of charging 100 and getting 200 free a while ago.

So I was a little curious, so I came here to have a look. "

"Oh." Hearing this, Cao Xingyu pursed his lips and said, "That's it."

Look at this gesture of personally looking for the door, it seems that my Internet cafe has been too much in the limelight recently, which has made the business of Lin Fan's Internet cafe worse... Cao Xingyu was thinking in his heart.

Think about it, from the Qingyuan Internet Cafe, where the daily attendance rate was generally between 40 to 50%, to the current scene where the Qingyuan Internet Cafe is full every day, where did the extra people come from?

Obviously, some of them are people living nearby. These people usually don’t go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, but after seeing such a big discount, they can’t help but try to get a card. Some of them didn’t like Internet cafes before. People with a poor environment, but after seeing the high-quality environment of Qingyuan Internet Cafe, they go there happily, and more of them come from other Internet cafes nearby.

After making a rough guess in his heart, Cao Xingyu didn't think too much about it. There will be commercial competition in any industry. This is a very normal thing. In this regard, he does not have any psychological burden.

"I'm much older than you, so let's call you Xiao Cao for now." Lin Fan paused, and said, "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, Boss Lin, but it's okay to say." Cao Xingyu didn't care about the address, and said calmly.

"Xiao Cao, you actually didn't open the Internet cafe like this." Lin Fan first spit out a concluding sentence word by word, and then patiently said to Cao Xingyu: "Look at the employees of your current Internet cafe, only one shift There are more than ten! How much labor cost will this cost every month? I will not go into details about the other measures one by one, but it is obvious that these measures will undoubtedly greatly improve Increase the cost of Internet cafes! Isn’t it just to make some easy money to open Internet cafes? If you increase the cost of operation in this way, how much profit will Internet cafes have?”

"Oh, then tell me how the Internet cafe should be opened." Cao Xingyu immediately understood the purpose of the other party's visit this time, and couldn't help laughing.

"Well, looking at your age, you may just be in the Internet cafe industry. It's normal if you don't know it, and I can understand it." Lin Fan thought that Cao Xingyu had listened to him, and he smiled: "In fact, opening an Internet cafe is very simple. Recruit 2 or 3 waiters and 1 network manager for each shift, and let them maintain the daily hygiene of the Internet cafe and provide some simple services. Try not to invest too much money in this aspect, and don't have to make a good environment and sanitation It doesn't matter if it's dirty, because the customers of Internet cafes are a bit special, and they have a high ability to accept things that are not as good as the environment. I care too much about it, so besides the equipment, we don’t need to spend our energy and cost on other things, and the customers are completely acceptable. In this way, the monthly profit of the Internet cafe will naturally be more. And those beverages Snacks and so on should be sold at the price of entertainment venues. They have to drink water every day, so they will definitely buy them. Don’t engage in low-price strategies. Making more money is king. What I’m talking about is almost like Internet cafes There are some unspoken rules, everyone does it this way, and this is also a well-known norm in Internet cafes.”

"Oh, that's all." Cao Xingyu smiled, and said in other words: "I understand everything you said, and I understand everything, but why don't we try to change it because customers are highly accepting of the environment? And Why do I have to be like you? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with opening an Internet cafe and offering my own characteristics. What’s more, if you look at it now, the business of my Internet cafe is also very hot, which means that my approach is not correct."

"Xiao Cao, you are breaking the rules." Lin Fan's tone became a little more serious.

"Rules?" Hearing this sentence, Cao Xingyu was instantly happy: "Is it possible to comply with the rules according to your rules? Who set the rules? I must follow your rules? I don't How about following the rules?"

"Little Cao." Lin Fan said earnestly, "It's not you who opened an Internet cafe to do business. Do you know that this is vicious competition? Besides, you don't think that if you can do this, others can't, right? Young people must be careful. Don't be so naive, people who can open an Internet cafe are more or less capable. If you have to cut off people's money, if you really push people, and you really get to that point, then I will just If you can invest heavily in various costs to improve the service of Internet cafes and offer a lot of discounts, at worst everyone will make less money. I don’t think you really want to see that kind of situation where both sides suffer, right? So in my opinion, you did it Get rid of those fancy things, and everyone can still make money with the kind people."

"Heh." Hearing this, Cao Xingyu couldn't help but sneered: "If I understand correctly, are you threatening me?"
