To say that the most trendy sports in the 1980s were dancing, skating, billiards and bowling.

However, the tide is also divided into grades. As far as the results are concerned, the more resources required for a movement, the more exotic it seems.

Dancing and skating belong to the general trend, especially dancing. It is often a radio, a big horn, and you can dance in an empty venue. It is very simple, and it is very similar to the square dance of later generations. Of course, the people involved are also from the same group.

In addition to the commercial dance halls, the employee dance halls were the mainstream in the 1980s. Various factories and mines often built their own employee dance halls and sold tickets for external fees... These conditions are acceptable. The low-charge dance halls promote dancing culture. , The effect was significant, and correspondingly, after the workers’ status plummeted, the employee ballroom in turn greatly weakened its value.

The level of billiards depends on the level of consumption. In 1984, there was already an hourly billiard snooker in Beijing, and in the alleys of Kuanjie, street billiards were also crowded with people.

Although dance halls, skating rinks, and billiards rooms are already damp and fresh, they add up to a bowling alley.

Apart from other things, just the floor in the bowling alley that can be seen by others can make the legs of men and women who come here for the first time soften. Waiting for the rich businessmen to wait for the wealthy businessmen, they don’t hold thousands of dollars in their arms. Bowling alley, that is not a little emboldened.

And the more such a high-end venue, the more fashionable men and women who come to the bowling alley will be attracted, just like horseback archery golf in later generations.

I am not afraid that you are expensive, I am afraid that you are not the most expensive!

Wang Guohua and others came in with Yang Rui, and felt a little emboldened.

Even so, Xu Jing was still pulling at her clothes, obviously feeling a little nervous.

"We want three ways." Yang Rui stood at the door to exchange money.

The waiter saw that it was a group of students. Just when he was about to say something, he saw a stack of banknotes and swallowed what he had said. More than an hour, do you want to wait."

"Wait." Looking at it, there are a total of 20 paths, full of people, and there will be nothing to play before waiting.

"Each round is 45 yuan. I will start 9 rounds for you first. Can I play with another person? Should I be coached? The coach is free." There are 10 rounds of bowling. Each round has two pitching opportunities. If there is no one-time knockdown In the case of a total score, 10 rounds will be 20 pitches, one for each person, and it is normal to finish a round in a quarter of an hour.

In a bowling game or practice where many people participate, multiple rounds need to be opened.

Nine people play. Under normal circumstances, it is natural to start 9 games at the same time, each with 10 rounds, 20 pitching opportunities, and record the scores of their respective knockdowns.

Calculated like this, it takes about two and a half hours to finish nine rounds, and it usually doesn't exceed three hours even for all novices.

Calculated at 45 yuan per round, it costs 400 yuan for nine people to bowl for three hours, an average of more than 130 yuan per hour, which absolutely exceeds the monthly salary of ordinary workers.

Hearing this number, Wang Guohua's brows jumped, and he quickly grabbed Yang Rui and said, "Otherwise, we'll start a game first."

"It's impossible to start a game first." Yang Rui patted his hand and whispered: "Aren't we here for investigation? It's okay, we can get reimbursed."

After speaking, Yang Rui paid the waiter, asked him to issue an invoice, and found the coach.

Actually, without him, the waiter just issued the invoice.

For such an expensive sports event, unless it is a foreign guest, it is rare that an invoice is not required.

However, there are quite a few foreigners playing here.

Yang Rui took a cursory look. At least half of the fairways are played by foreigners, and three-quarters of the foreigners are of East Asian race.

In Asia, the first popular bowling was in Japan. They played it for more than ten years before introducing it to China.

It can be said that the current Japanese are in a bowling enthusiasm similar to that of China in the 90s. It is almost foreseeable that there must be countless Japanese people who are playing bowling without sleeping and eating.

The cost of 45 yuan per round is also really easy for the Japanese in the bubble economy era.

"Have any of you played bowling?" The coach came in kindly.

"All newbies." Yang Rui said with a smile.

"Then I will talk about it in a unified way, and then I will give you corrective actions one by one." The coach then said and demonstrated.

After a while, Yang Rui and others played in sequence, and after a few trials, they had a great time playing.

Among them, Cao Baoming learned the fastest, only for the fourth time. He actually knocked down ten pins twice and screamed in excitement.

"Isn't it fun?" Yang Rui stood beside Wang Guohua, who had knocked down 6 goals.

"It's fun, it's fun, foreigners can really play!" Wang Guohua said in a series of interjections.

"Then the sports center we built, the first step is to be a bowling alley. Do you have any comments?"

"agree!"

"Agree!" Everyone in the Ruixue group raised their hands.

Liu Shan was a little worried and asked, "Will the cost of this advanced bowling alley be high? The machinery that automatically changes pins is expensive, right?"

"The cost is the responsibility of the investor. We just need to prove that the profit is high enough." Yang Rui himself is the investor and knows what to pay attention to. If it were not for the high profits of the bowling alley, Yang Rui would not choose this project.

Wang Guohua pinched his fingers and said: "A round is 45 yuan, and an average of 4 rounds can be played in an hour?"

"In fact, I can’t play that much, because everyone is a novice, slow people, and it’s possible to play a round in half an hour. In addition, the coach’s teaching time should also be counted, which is an inevitable loss in opening up new markets. It takes a while to teach, and it takes a lot of time to calculate it. On average, you can play around three rounds an hour." Yang Rui slightly corrected.

Liu Shan was slightly surprised, and said: "On average playing three games an hour, a fairway can earn 135 yuan, and 20 fairways can earn 2700 yuan an hour?"

Calculating this number, several people were shocked.

"It can't be said that it earned 2,700 yuan, and the turnover is 2,700 yuan. It is necessary to subtract various expenses. Electricity and parts costs are the bulk, and the construction cost of the bowling alley must be averaged out. However, it is indeed profitable..." Yang Rui said Laughed.

The bowling alleys from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s are actually very similar to the Internet cafes from the mid-1990s to the mid-00s. Their initial investment is relatively high, but once they are operational, they are a steady stream of cash cows.

Like Internet cafes, the bowling alley runs for a long time every day. It is basically full after 10 o'clock in the morning. This state can last almost until midnight, for a full 10 hours, just like the Lido Hotel in Beijing. For a field with 20 lanes, it means an average daily turnover of more than 27,000.

The reason for saying the above is because there is still income in the early morning.

Just like the Internet cafes have night packages, the bowling alleys also have discounts after the early morning, usually 25 yuan a round or less. This can ensure that the bowling alleys are fully operational in the early morning of the weekend, or have about half of the usual attendance rate. In any case, the bowling alley is going to make a profit.

In addition, soft drinks, snacks, beer, as well as the business of renting out sneakers, selling sneakers and bowling balls, can also bring a lot of income, at least enough for the daily expenses of the arena.

The same bowling alley was extremely miserable in the late 1990s. The fee for each round was less than ten yuan, which was less than that in the mid-1980s. For the worst venues, the membership fee would even drop to two or three yuan per round. In this way, the ordinary 20-course stadium is still not full, let alone the early morning income.

By the year 2000, the lanes of the Lido Hotel in Beijing were broken, and no maintenance was done at all. Some small bowling alleys were even reluctant to turn on the air-conditioning or shut down.

Yang Rui doesn't care how long the bowling alley can be opened, but it is the best to enter the factory since 1984. If the customers are full, a venue can recover the principal in a few months.

In fact, in the current environment, the more fairways are built, the less the cost of the stadium will be spread, and the faster the payback will be, just like the bigger the Internet cafe, the higher the profit margin.

There may be many people who can see bowling alleys make money~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But in 1984, few people could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build bowling alleys.

"I will go to find a place tomorrow, look for investment, and then buy fairways and other equipment. You can also ask where there is a suitable venue to build a stadium. By the way, you can find some familiar students in their respective schools. If you do part-time jobs, we train in advance." Bowling alleys were extremely tall in the 1980s. In this kind of place, hiring college students to do part-time jobs can also improve service quality and style to a certain extent.

Wang Guohua and others were very excited and immediately began to discuss.

Yang Rui took a bowling ball and handed it to Liu Shan, and said with a smile: "It's your turn."

Liu Shan smiled and took it, and performed a not-so-standard sliding motion, and the loose sweatpants suddenly became tightly curved.

"Shoo..." The whistle sounded in response. But it was four young men in their twenties who happened to pass by with their drinks.
