Homecoming of Rebirth

Qi Lei had no choice but to tell them about the note left by his third uncle, guessing that it was Zhao Na who brought them back to the house.
"Oh." Yang Xiao didn't feel guilty at all for wronging Qi Lei, and said seriously to Xu Qian as if nothing happened: "I tried it for you, no problem!"
Xu Qian was also speechless, "Don't try it next time, it will scare me too!"
The three chatted and laughed, tidied up, Xu Qian and Yang Xiao even changed into their professional attire, and then went to the company.
It's time for dinner, and I brought lunch for Uncle San and the others on the way.
But he didn't want to, once he entered the company, Qi Lei thought he had gone to the wrong place.
But that's right, it's Sanshi Network Management Company, not a lottery station?
I saw Qi Guodong and Zhao Wei guarding a landline alone, talking in hoarse voices.
Qi Guodong still had to concentrate on taking care of the pager, memorizing a few phone numbers from time to time.
Zhao Na was alone in the reception area, supporting five or six visitors.
Qi Lei was dumbfounded, "What... what's going on?"
It happened that Zhao Wei put down a phone, but just as he put it down, the phone rang again.
Zhao Wei refused to accept them, and looked at the three people who came in like an amnesty, "You guys are here!"
"Quick...quick!! Watch for me for a while!"
The three drunks were solid, but the three who were not drunk began to call back last night.I went back for the night.
I arrived at the company at 8 o'clock this morning and saw [-] missed calls. I felt pretty good, not too many, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
As everyone knows, those who call for consultation are not stupid. They know that there must be no one in the company in the middle of the night.
"I'm going to die of exhaustion." Zhao Wei almost choked up, and handed the phone to Qi Lei.
Qi Lei was still dazed, instinctively picked up the phone and listened, "Where?"
"Inner Mongolia..."
The audience of Longjiang Satellite TV is not limited to Harbin City, but the following twelve county-level areas, as well as the entire territory of Longjiang, can watch it.Including TV viewers across the country, can watch through cable TV.
If there are not many customers in Guangha City who intend to enter the Internet bar industry, what about the whole province?What about the whole country?
No franchise fee, collective procurement, unified decoration, and also promises to be cheaper than the market price, and there is also an operation plan to increase income other than network fees.
How tempting is this?
It can only be said that Qi Lei underestimated the power of advertising.
Even if it's far away from Longjiang Province, and it's not close at all, I want to make a phone call and ask, what's going on?How about asking about it?
So, since last night, Qi Guodong's pager has been disabled.
The paging calls from his relatives and friends were ignored at all, and they were purely for consultation and asking for a call back.
From morning to noon, the two landlines never stopped.
The phone from Harbin City couldn't be reached, and the line was busy, so I simply followed the address on the advertisement and found them, which were the ones that Zhao Na was receiving now.
Although most of them are still inquiring, there are very few who are really interested, but the base is too big!
Moreover, this has only been broadcast once, a day's time!
"Quick!" Qi Lei hung up the phone in Inner Mongolia and directed Xu Qian and Yang Xiao, "You two come to answer the phone."
"Ah?" Xu Qian and Yang Xiao instinctively stepped back when they heard this.
However, how could they back down?Even if the ducks are on the shelves, they have to be on the shelves, so they bite the bullet and grab the phone.
So, after a few phone calls, although I became proficient and gradually improved, I didn't move my nest until after eight o'clock in the evening.
In the end, Xu Qian's voice had become as hoarse as Yang Xiao's, and Yang Xiao was even hoarse than before.
Until after eight o'clock in the evening, Qi Lei knew that it was senseless to answer the phone like this, no matter how much the phone rang, he didn't answer it.
"Don't worry about it, you can't go on like this! Uncle, you can buy two phones with automatic answering later and install them. After get off work hours, forget about it, and turn off the pager!"
Qi Lei has ideas and organizational skills, but it's the first time to start a company. He didn't think carefully in many places and needs to improve gradually.
At this time, with Qi Lei's order, everyone left the company as if fleeing.
I found a private room in a restaurant and ordered a few dishes indiscriminately.Then there was no movement, all exhausted.
It can be described as being in a hurry.
Moreover, everyone is aware of a problem, this day is just a busy day, and a single order has not been negotiated?
"What should I do?" Zhao Na was a little impatient, "I just came to ask, and when I mentioned signing the contract, there was no movement."
Yang Xiao also said: "That's right, they all want to prostitute for free! I keep asking if there is really no franchise fee, if there is really no money."
"When my old lady answered affirmatively, there was no movement again, as if someone was trying to cheat them out of money!"
After hearing this, Xu Qian turned bitter, "They're all the same, they're all curious babies, and none of them are decisive."
Qi Lei smiled at this, and comforted him: "Business of hundreds of thousands to millions can be settled in one day?"
"Besides, we don't have anything now, so it's not bad if people don't think we are liars."
Well, these days, there are still few scam companies in the north, but it is different in the south, and they are all very vigilant.
The main reason is that the management software has not yet produced a finished product, and the decoration plan only exists on paper, and there is not even a design drawing or budget.
As for the purchase of equipment, you have to wait until the contract is signed, and Qi Lei will take the contract and talk to the dealer.
To be honest, it is indeed just talk now, and it is not easy to make people willing to sign the contract.
Moreover, there is room for improvement when it comes to talking about customers.
For example, today, Zhao Wei was in charge of receiving customers from morning to night, but it was really not efficient to repeat one by one, and the other to repeat it again.
"So..." Qi Lei responded immediately.
Consolation is comfort, there are indeed a lot of problems now, and everyone is inexperienced. If this continues, it may not be possible to negotiate a few deals after working hard.
First, Qi Guodong said: "Uncle San, you go back to Shangbei tomorrow, and bring over some old computers from Sister Na's house, and use them for demonstrations to customers."
Qi Guodong heard it, "Then don't do it tomorrow, I'll leave after dinner."
If one day is delayed, many things will be delayed.
Today's hot scene gave Qi Guodong hope and motivation.
Although there was no business deal, it's better than not having a phone call, right?
Zhao Wei said, "Then I'll go back with you!"
Both of them didn't sleep much last night, and Qi Guodong was not at ease driving alone at night.
Qi Lei didn't refuse, the third uncle was right, a day's delay is nothing.That's what entrepreneurship is about, don't treat yourself as a human being.
But on second thought, "Let's go back tomorrow!"
Qi Guodong, "What's wrong?"
Qi Lei, "You have to go to Uncle Li to borrow someone who knows about decoration and the decoration materials market."
"Oh~~!" Qi Guodong understood.
Today, when someone asked about decoration, they didn't understand, and what they said was ambiguous. If there is someone who knows how to do it, it will be different.
"Okay, then go back tomorrow!" After Qi Guodong agreed, he asked again, "Then what will your uncle and I do when we come back?"
Qi Lei frowned and thought for a while, "I have something to do after I come back, and it's quite important!"
"What's the matter?"
Qi Lei, "Third Uncle, you have to thoroughly understand the procedure of Internet cafes. It's best to find some contacts in various places."
Some owners only want to open an Internet cafe, but they are really incapable of how to go through the procedures, and they will definitely need guidance and assistance.
"Okay!" Qi Guodong responded with a full mouth.
Still the same sentence, the third brother has no other ability, but to build relationships, and he has the greatest ability to run favors.
Qi Lei turned to Yang Xiao and Xu Qian again, "Well, I will answer the phone tomorrow. If customers in the city want to come over, set a concentrated time, such as 09:30 in the morning and 02:30 in the afternoon."
"Not tomorrow... the day after tomorrow, no! Starting the day after tomorrow, there will be two briefing sessions every day."
"At that time, I will concentrate on explaining."
The facade room has a second floor, but the first floor is enough, so there are only some sundries piled up on the second floor, which can be used as a small meeting place after tidying up.
Finally, Qi Lei looked at Zhao Na, "Sister Na, you don't need to use it tomorrow, just keep an eye on the management program. You need to get your classmates to catch up, if not, we can add more money!"
Zhao Na also knew the importance of that set of management software, so she didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll let them stay up for a few nights and see if we can advance."
"That's good." At this time, the dishes have already been served, "That's it, let's eat!"
While talking, he yelled at the waiter, "Twenty bowls of rice first!"
When the waiter heard this, he was almost not scared. There are only six people in total, can they eat that much?
Hehe, she didn't know that these people almost didn't eat for a day, and twenty bowls might not be enough.
During the meal, Zhao Wei finally couldn't help but asked Qi Lei in a low voice, "Shitou, what am I doing?"
Qi Lei seemed to have forgotten to arrange tasks for him.
Regarding this, Qi Lei gulped his mouth full of food, and said vaguely: "Your task is not urgent, let's talk about it later."
Zhao Wei quit at that time, "Then you should tell me now!"
Qi Lei, "Alright! Go find a Taiwanese milk tea shop and be a waiter!"
Zhao Wei: "..."
Everyone looked over suspiciously, as a waiter?what is wrong?Zhao Wei is pretty good, right?Why don't you play with him?
Facing everyone's gaze, Qi Lei swallowed the meal speechlessly, "I'll just wait until we finish eating!"
Putting down the chopsticks, "I told you to steal the teacher, what the hell are you thinking?"
"Stealing a teacher?" Zhao Wei didn't understand even more, "We are an Internet cafe owner, what kind of teacher should we steal?"
"Don't you understand?" Qi Lei already knew that he couldn't stop eating, "We promised in the advertisement that in addition to the income from Internet fees, we will also find other profit points for customers."
"Drinks like milk tea and juice are the profit point!"
Many people believe that the main income of Internet cafes comes from Internet fees and buying membership cards.
In short, it is inseparable from the use of Internet time and machine consumption to achieve profitability.
In fact, I was wrong!
For a mature Internet cafe in later generations, the Internet fee income accounts for at most two-thirds, and some even account for less than half.
The other half of the income does not come from game recharges and point card sales, but drinks and light meals.
Yes, this is the key to the profitability of Internet cafes.
Some Internet cafes deliberately use low Internet fees to attract customers and achieve sales growth of drinks and light meals.
And this drink is not Coke, Jianlibao, Zhenzhen or the like.
The profits of these fixed-package beverages are very low, and they mainly rely on homemade beverages, such as milk tea and fruit juice.
Take Taiwan milk tea, which just emerged in the late 90s, for example, 5 to 7 yuan a cup.In this era, it is really expensive, but the actual cost is actually only a few cents.
That's the real profiteering.
But if Qi Lei wants to make money from Internet cafe owners, he must first let them make money.
The experience he absorbed from the mature Internet cafe operation of later generations is the key to ensuring the profitability of the owners.
Of course, these days, as long as you open an Internet cafe, you can make money. Qi Lei only needs to lower the price of decoration and hardware equipment to attract customers.
However, if Qi Lei didn't get this management company, then he can do whatever he wants, just play around.
Now that it has been done, and the third uncle and Zhao Na have been dragged into the water, we have to think about it in the long run and treat it as a serious business.
Qi Lei is very clear that with the increasing demand in the domestic hardware market and the increasingly fierce competition, profiteers like Fatty Wei will only have good days for two or three years.
At least it is impossible to make a fuss about the price. The price of hardware in the future will become more and more transparent, and the discounts that can be obtained will inevitably become smaller and smaller.
At that time, what will attract customers?
It means that your business methods are more profitable and your management system is more perfect!
