Sunday, January 9th.

A slightly strange-looking phone booth has been erected on the top floor of the Universal Paradise Mall.

This floor is mainly a movie theater, and there are also some claw machines, bubble tea shops, and so on.

This slightly strange phone booth stands right next to the wall on the way to the cinema and is easy to see from the escalator.

The phone booth is made of transparent glass on all sides, which is soundproofed well, and there are special ventilation vents above to ensure that you will not be bored if you stay inside for an hour or two.

On the outer side of the phone booth, the metal frames on both sides of the glass are wider than the others, making it look like a deliberate blank effect.

This is the place left for the artist to play in his imagination.

The other two sides, the left side is relatively rich in science and technology, through the glass can see an electronic display screen, there is a poster on it, the content of the poster is "shared phone booth advertising space investment";

The right side is deliberately decorated in a more phone booth style, and you can see the retro phone inside through the glass.

In addition, you can also see through the glass that there are some things on the desktop inside, such as a water dispenser on the desktop, wifi, three-port charger, bookshelf, and so on.

Because they are not fully prepared, they have not yet had time to move in the planned jukebox, drink dispenser, etc.

Soon, quite a few people gathered around.

"What is this?"

"I didn't think I had it last time."

"Isn't it written on this billboard, sharing phone booth advertising space to attract investment."

"Poof, what's the matter, sharing a phone booth?"

"Hahaha laughed to death, such a sand sculpture project, hurry up and take a group photo!"

Soon, many people who came to Huanyu Tianjie to shop took pictures outside the phone booth and posted pictures and complained in the circle of friends.

There are also many people who try to explore what this phone booth can do.

This is the first and only shared phone booth in Jingzhou, and it is the first "prototype" that Zhang Yu has worked in his hometown workshop in the past few days.

The first batch of products ordered from the manufacturer has not yet been delivered, in order to see the effect of this shared phone booth faster, Zhang Yu decided to move the "prototype" he made and try the water first.

In the process of moving, I found a moving company, and the installation was quite convenient, and it was completed in more than an hour.

As one of the core business districts of Jingzhou City, the flow of people can definitely be guaranteed, which can be regarded as an experiment to see if everyone can accept this new thing.

Soon, a couple took out their mobile phones and scanned the QR code on the phone booth door.

"Damn, so expensive?" The boy was a little confused.

After scanning the code, a rather rudimentary page appeared on it, which was obviously made in a temporary hurry, and there was a charging standard for this shared phone booth:

All items in the phone booth are bundled and billed every 15 minutes for 10 bucks per 15 minutes.

This is the price of one hour of Internet access at the Internet café.

You can use a social media account or mobile phone number to log in quickly, but if you use it, you must pay first, because the shared phone booth does not take into account the user's deposit.

After payment, the door of the phone booth will automatically open, and after the user enters the phone booth and closes the door, the charging port, wifi, etc. inside will be energized and can be used normally, and the timing will begin.

When the time is up, if the customer does not renew the time, the equipment in the phone booth will automatically lose power and can no longer be used.

The customer leaves the booth and closes the door, which automatically locks when it detects that no one is inside.

It can be said that the initial function is very simple, but the basic function of the shared phone booth is barely completed, and the process of using it is not very convenient.

Moreover, there are also a lot of loopholes to exploit, such as the fact that some people can sit in it and free hot water all the time if they don't leave, as long as they are thick-skinned enough.

Not only that, but there are also a large number of items that are missing, such as drink machines, jukeboxes, AEDs, scales, etc., which are not available for the time being.

The beverage machine is because it is not possible to solve the problem of use for the time being, if the customer is allowed to refill the cup indefinitely, it will definitely be a dog, but if each user is limited to two free cups, it is necessary to purchase a special beverage machine, so for the time being, it can only be replaced by free hot water;

Jukeboxes need to cooperate with some singing apps, and equipment also needs to be purchased in a unified manner;

As for AEDs, they also need to be procured and cannot be delivered within a short period of time.

However, Zhang Yu believes that this is a project under research and development after all, and it can be slowly improved and improved in the future.

First put the ground on the ground, get familiar with everyone, these various functions, and then slowly stuff them in.

The first couple who tried to scan the code hesitated outside the shared phone booth and left without paying to enter.

The main reason is that I don't feel like I have just entered here, and the price is a bit expensive.

Rather than the cramped, cramped glass box, they would rather find a coffee shop or dessert shop and spend money on two drinks to sit and rest.

There are a lot of people taking pictures around the phone booth, but there is no one who really scans the code to pay for the time being.

After taking a few photos, a lot of people who had gathered to watch the excitement dispersed, some of them went to the nearby bubble tea shop to buy drinks, and some walked into the movie theater.

At this time, another couple came to the shared phone booth.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the phone: "Hey, that phone looks great, quick, I'm going to scan the code to go in, you take a picture of me!" ”

The girl simply scanned the code to enter, stood in the phone booth and picked up the hanging retro phone, and posed a few times.

The boy was outside with a reluctant but helpless look on his mobile phone and "clicked" to take pictures.

"Alright, it's over."

The boy also entered the phone booth and showed the girl the picture on his phone.

"Hmm...... Your photography skills still need to be improved, forget it, so be it. ”

The girl reluctantly accepted the photos and turned her attention to the inside of the shared phone booth.

It looks a little shabby, but it still looks sturdy.

"There are bestsellers and comics on the shelves, free paper cups, and free hot water ......"

The girl looked around at all the projects and was silent for a moment: "I spent ten yuan together, just posed for a few photos, sat and rested for a while, and drank two cups of hot water...... Blood loss. ”

The boy silently picked up a comic book from the shelf: "It's an IQ tax." ”

Girl: "...... You're saying I don't have a good IQ? ”

……

Diagonally across from the shared phone booth, in a dessert shop.

Zhang Yu and He Desheng were drinking drinks while keeping an eye on the movements of the shared phone booth.

"It's been three hours since the mall opened in the morning."

"It has attracted a lot of onlookers, but the only one who really pays is the girl who poses for the photo."

He Desheng sighed softly: "So I suggested to you before, don't worry, or wait until all the functions of the shared phone booth are perfected, and the art design is in place, and then move to the big shopping mall." ”

"It's strange that if you move a semi-finished product like this, users will buy it."

"After all, it seems that the cost performance of this phone booth is too poor, after entering, you can only sit and read comics, drink some free hot water, and 15 minutes will cost 10 yuan, and an hour will cost 40 yuan, which is enough to surf the Internet in the fishing Internet café for four hours."

"The most critical drink machines, jukeboxes, etc., are not yet available."

Zhang Yu's eyes were firm: "It doesn't matter, after all the supporting equipment of the shared phone booth is placed, everyone will understand this pricing." ”

"So...... What's going on with the artist, I'm more concerned about that. ”

He Desheng shook his head: "I inquired, but I didn't find a good one, after all, Jingzhou is not like a city like the imperial capital Demon Capital, there are so many big ......."

"However, I think Mr. Pei should have a way. Tengda's main business is, after all, making games, and he will definitely be able to contact some well-known artists. ”

"But...... We are almost out of budget, and if we ask Mr. Pei to pay for the artist, will it cause Mr. Pei's disgust......"

Zhang Yu said firmly: "Then I'll tell Mr. Pei!" I'm sure Mr. Pei will understand. ”

He Desheng was silent for a moment: "Well, yes, you just need to tell Mr. Pei about the ultimate form of the planned phone booth, and I believe that Mr. Pei will understand." ”

Zhang Yu shook his head: "That's not good, I'm an honest person, and I must report truthfully what this project looks like now." ”

"Mr. Pei trusts me so much, how can I fool him!"

"I believe that Mr. Pei will definitely appreciate my honesty!"

"Appreciate your honesty...... What a naïve idea. He Desheng helped his forehead, "Okay." If you are in Fuhui Capital, you will definitely not be able to make money. ”

"But Mr. Pei has always had a unique vision, maybe he will open up the net......"

He Desheng originally wanted to give Zhang Yu some advice, but after thinking about it, what qualifications did he have to give advice to others......

I haven't even learned one-ten-thousandth of Pei's total investment method, and Zhang Yu has already made a project that Mr. Pei agrees with after all.

Whatever, I can't care about this......

He Desheng changed the topic: "The manufacturers responsible for the production of phone booths, karaoke APP, beverage machine manufacturers, etc., have already replied to me, and the money is in place It should not be a big problem, and the first batch of AED defibrillators is already on the way." ”

Zhang Yu nodded: "In addition, this APP needs to be improved." ”

"In short, when the artists are in place, and when the purchased things have arrived, it can be announced that the shared phone booth will officially start operating!"

"I'll call Mr. Pei first."

Zhang Yu took out the phone and called Mr. Pei.

Then, in a calm tone, he reported the current situation of the phone booth one by one.

……

On the other side of the phone, Pei Qian heard that Zhang Yu had opened a phone booth in the mall, and he was scared into a cold sweat.

But then, he was relieved a lot.

According to Zhang, he remodeled the structure of the phone booth, made it bigger, and placed it in the mall.

It's just that so far, after he has been posing for a morning, only one girl has scanned the code for posing and earned 15 yuan.

The initial investment of this phone booth is about 40,000 yuan, and the rent of the venue alone is nearly 1,000 yuan a month.

Of course, Zhang Yu also briefly mentioned that he "is working hard to improve the consumption experience of customers, and I believe that it will be effective soon".

In the end, Zhang Yu finally got to the point, hoping that Mr. Pei could help find an artist to paint on the front of the shared phone booth and add a little artistic atmosphere to this phone booth.

Hearing this, Pei Qian found that the prospect of sharing phone booths was even better than he imagined!

According to Pei Qian's original thought, the idea of investing less than 10,000 yuan and placing it on the side of the road, this phone booth will be placed for half a year, and at most it will lose more than 10,000 yuan.

In the end, if you dismantle and sell scrap iron and glass, you may be able to recover some costs.

But according to the current method, if it is placed for half a year, it will be a proper loss of about 50,000 yuan!

One phone booth is so much to lose, what if it's a hundred?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt refreshed, and almost made a decision to directly dial Zhang Yu 5 million, and asked him to get a hundred phone booths, which can be built!

But on second thought, reason triumphed over emotion.

Zhang Yu said that "we are working hard to improve the consumption experience of customers, and I believe that it will be effective soon", although it sounds like a polite remark and a perfunctory leader's words of cheating money, which is very unbelievable, but Pei Qian always feels unsteady.

Because he has quite a few employees who have said similar things, and almost all of them have fulfilled their ......

Thinking of this, Pei Qian decisively controlled the devil in his heart, and felt that he still couldn't trust the words of the employees.

"You take a picture of the current picture of the shared phone booth and send it to me."

Moments later, the photos arrived.

Pei Qian took a look and found that the phone booth looked quite large, but when he looked closely, it was very simple.

Moreover, there was a table, two folding chairs that could be folded into the wall, a few solitary books on the shelves, and a rather rudimentary-looking water dispenser.

There were a few people watching, but apparently none of them were interested in entering.

I wasn't lied to me, it's so cold.

Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person, such an honest employee is rare!

Pei Qian is very happy, since he said that he wants an artist, he must find a way to satisfy it!

It just so happened that Nguyen Quang Jian was in Jingzhou.

Pei Qian thought about it for a while: "Let Ruan Guangjian go over and paint a big oil painting?" The kind that is two meters tall? According to his current offer, it's not too much to give 50,000 yuan, right? ”

"And no matter how well this painting is, everyone will at most take pictures and watch outside, and it will not have any direct impact on the income of this shared phone booth."

"Huh? If one phone booth is 50,000 and 10 phone booths, isn't it 500,000? ”

"That's a great idea!"

Pei Qian originally thought that this matter was quite ridiculous, but after analyzing it, he found that this was obviously a surprise, a good way to spend money!

Let Ruan Guangjian draw twenty phone booths, and one million will be spent in an instant.

Even if Ruan Guangjian has to settle according to the friendship price, how can he get 500,000?

I just don't know if the big guy's body can withstand it, anyway, Mr. Pei's money is completely fine.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately said: "Yes, I will solve the artist's affairs." ”

"In addition, I will invest another 500,000 yuan for you, and none of the original 20 phone booths will be missing!"
