Chapter 103: Lonely!
I waited for more than an hour until noon.
There was a young man outside the door, who probed his brain for a long time, and finally pushed the door in.
A waiter who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him.
"Welcome! Would you rather surf the internet, or do you want to drink coffee? ”
It seems a bit of a sand sculpture to ask this question, but the Touch Fish Internet Café is indeed a place where Internet access and catering are integrated, so how can you ask it if you don't ask it?
The young man apparently saw the cool computer configuration inside through the glass and guessed that this was an Internet café, so he came in.
"You ...... How much is an hour? ”
The waiter replied truthfully: "Ten dollars." ”
The young man was a little confused, and thought he had misheard: "Huh? I asked about the general area, not a private room. ”
"That's right, sir, the ordinary area is ten dollars an hour, and we don't have a private room here."
The young man was obviously speechless: "Is there a discount for applying for a card?" ”
"Yes, after applying for a card, the drinks will be discounted." The waiter enthusiastically handed over the menu.
The young man glanced at him, and his body shook visibly.
This Nima!
On the front are a variety of drinks and cocktails, and the cocktails are all forty or fifty yuan a cup.
The back is home-cooked food, what tomatoes, eggs, fish-flavored shredded meat and the like, it's not cheap!
This...... I can't afford to buy it at 10% off!
What's more, your membership card of the Internet café is not discounted on the Internet, but on the wine, what kind of operation is this?
The young man coughed twice: "I'm sorry, my family is poor, and I will leave." ”
Turned around and went out.
Several waiters looked at each other.
This......
Would love to hold him down.
But Mr. Pei explained that service should be as natural as a spring breeze!
It's like a spring breeze on your cheeks, so that customers can feel your presence, but not too much.
So, a few waiters had to hold back.
Soon, by noon, the flow of people gradually increased.
There are also many people who come to ask for the price.
As a result, three or four people came, all of them were like the young man before, and after hearing the price, they retreated.
Someone else muttered quietly: "Tomorrow robbery!" ”
Zhang Yuan had been standing at the bar, ready to perform a bartending stunt.
As a result, let alone some alcohol, there is not even a single one who comes in to surf the Internet!
"Brother Qian, this is not good!"
Ma Yang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
The start was so bad, what is the whole thing!
When the time comes, the more deserted it is, the more no one comes, isn't it a vicious circle?
Pei Qian also nodded solemnly.
"Well, that's not going to work."
"Come on, make a sign, and post the price list at the door!"
"One by one, they came in and asked for a price and left, how can it be reasonable."
"Let them know the price at the door, save them from coming in and asking, and waste their feelings!"
"If it's too expensive, don't come in, everyone will save trouble, how good."
The Mayang people are stupid.
That's what you mean by "really not"?
It's okay if you don't sign a sign, but when someone comes in and asks for a price, they may be embarrassed to leave under the gaze of the waiter, so that some thin-skinned customers can be left.
Hang a sign, people look at the sign outside and leave, and they won't come in!
Doesn't that drive away some thin-skinned potential customers?!
Ma Yang was a little resistant.
Pei Qian saw his hesitation and urged, "Go quickly." What are you hesitating about this kind of self-benefiting thing? ”
Ma Yang stood up quite reluctantly and arranged for someone to order the sign.
Pei Qian continued to drink coffee.
It's as if ordinary coffee is a little sweeter!
……
In the afternoon, it was finally time for a guest to visit.
There were two guys who seemed to be rich and second-generation to go online together, and after seeing the price at the door, they obviously hesitated, but after a little entanglement, they still walked in and sat down in the Internet café area.
There were a few white-collar workers who went to the coffee area and sat down and ordered a cup of coffee.
This was also expected by Pei Qian.
Although this place is not a serious business district, it is also next to a marginal business district, just across the street from the mall.
People come and go, and if you don't have any promises, you will stop by for a coffee or something, which is inevitable.
A good Internet café, even if the price is inflated, there will not be a single customer, and that kind of scene is too beautiful and unrealistic.
There are a few customers and it is perfectly acceptable.
As long as it is controlled to a certain amount, so that the income does not cover the cost, then it will do!
Pei Qian stared until the evening.
A few people came to drink, and Zhang Yuan also sang two songs on stage, and the atmosphere was okay.
It's not as deserted as during the day, but there are still very few people using Internet cafes.
Pei Qian roughly estimated that with this income, I am afraid it is not enough to plug the gap between his teeth.
Great!
Everything is planned!
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to go back.
And Ma Yang was obviously a little hit and a little sluggish.
Such a good computer, such a great environment, but the first day of opening was deserted!
This made Ma Yang a little uncomfortable.
Pei Qian restrained the irrepressible smile on the corner of his mouth, and comforted: "It's okay, it's just the first day." Old horse, you have to remember that this is the long-term layout of Tengda Group! ”
"Don't say a day, it's okay to lose money in the first three months and half a year! It's going to get better, you know? ”
Ma Yang nodded, but apparently didn't listen much.
Pei Qian couldn't say too much, just patted Ma Yang's shoulder and walked away.
……
……
Sunday, March 14.
At night.
Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang found a table and sat down at the window on the second floor, their faces a little solemn.
Zhang Yuan held a pen and paper, writing and calculating.
"Rent, 315,000 a month."
"We are a commercial water and electricity business, and we have to run for more than 10,000 yuan a month for water and electricity bills, the purchase and loss of various materials."
"The salary, together is more than 60,000 a month."
"In other words, our Internet café doesn't do anything for a month, and the expenditure alone has to run for 400,000!"
"Moreover, the initial investment of Internet cafes, these computers, equipment, decoration costs, etc., are also more than 2 million."
"According to our turnover in the past three days, it is not even comparable to the kind of small café of more than ten square meters, according to the current situation......
"Don't talk about returning to the capital, I'm afraid I will have a net loss of more than 300,000 ...... a month"
Listening to Zhang Yuan's calculations, Ma Yang's long face turned a little pale.
What's so ...... That's too much of an exaggeration, right?
However, if you think about the business situation in the past few days, this figure is reasonable.
There are so few guests!
There are more than 100 machines in the Internet café, not to mention that they are full, and there is often a whole row of computers, and only one person is playing!
And it's not long to play.
The situation in the café can only be said to be slightly better, with a little more people.
But many people come and order a cup of coffee and sit for a day, which doesn't cost much.
What's even more terrifying is that even so, the coffee area is still not even half of the seats, which shows how bleak business is!
In the evening, there were not many people who came to drink, and even Zhang Yuan sang a song on stage, and there were few people who applauded and applauded in the audience.
It's embarrassing with a capital letter!
So in the past two days, Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang have been very worried.
The fishing Internet café has a net loss of 300,000 yuan a month, which means that you don't have to do anything a day, and 10,000 yuan is gone.
It's a bottomless pit!
How much money can afford to do this?
Zhang Yuan said: "Brother Ma, you have an iron relationship with Mr. Pei, do you want to tell him, we can't go on like this, we have to think of a way." ”
Ma Yang said with a bitter face: "Brother Qian said, let's calm down, no matter what, we'll see the situation in a week." ”
"...... in a week"
Zhang Yuan looked at the date, and next Sunday was the 21st.
Feel...... Time hangs heavy on one's hands!
"Hey, okay. Since Mr. Pei said so, let's take a look. ”
"The key is that Mr. Pei won't let us send people to distribute leaflets, and we can't reduce the price, which ......," Zhang Yuan said incomprehensibly.
Obviously, there is still a lot of profit margin!
The Internet fee is lowered, the drinks are cheaper, and then there is a card recharge activity......
It's not incomprehensible!
But I don't know what Pei always thinks, so he won't let him do this.
So Zhang Yuan is out of line.
There's a problem with pricing, and it's useless to improve elsewhere!
"Let's still listen to Brother Qian, we'll see in a week."
Ma Yang didn't think about it so much, he recognized one point, since Pei Qian specially told him, then he would do it honestly and never make his own decisions.
"That's all it can be."
Zhang Yuan was a little worried, and he didn't know that he could get a few months with his salary of more than 10,000 yuan......
