Chapter 10 Profit Model
Chapter 10 Profit Model
The young man who kept pestering Xu Mingyuan with questions was called Cheng Liang, and he was the son of the owner of Longda Internet Cafe.
Xu Mingyuan vaguely remembered that the boss Cheng Dahai was somewhat famous. In the early 1990s, he made money by reselling medicinal materials. After the crackdown, he stopped doing this business and started running billiard halls, game halls, and Internet cafes. None of the stores were big, but there were more than a dozen of them.
Later it was said that a batch of slot machines were confiscated from the game hall and a lot of fines were paid. Although the person did not go to jail for a few days, Internet cafes also started checking ID cards, and the income dropped sharply, and the company never recovered.
"Cheng Liang, is your father the owner of an Internet cafe?" Xu Mingyuan asked knowingly.
"How did you figure that out? Do you want me to give you an internet card?"
"Do I need to see that? I don't need these few dollars. Does your Internet cafe have any old computers that have been discarded? I want to buy one. Give me a suitable price."
"This one……"
"What? Isn't your father the boss? You can't even do such a thing?" Seeing him hesitate, Xu Mingyuan asked.
"That's not the case. If you like a machine, just give me a thousand dollars and move away. But if you leave, I won't be able to learn technology."
"I still have to go back to school, so I can't stay in the Internet cafe for long."
"Are you still in school? Vocational school?"
Cheng Liang was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had dropped out of school long ago.
"III."
"No. 3 Middle School? You are just bragging. It seems that the first year of high school has started now. How dare you skip classes when you are studying in No. 3 Middle School? The school will expel you?"
Cheng Liang obviously didn't believe it. Although he went to a vocational high school in Jiangcheng, he still went to junior high school in Nanxi. Although the No. 3 Middle School in the city was not as good as the No. 1 Middle School, it was also a key high school.
"I'm taking a sick leave. I've never skipped classes since I was a child."
What Xu Mingyuan said was true. Although he loved to play when he was in school, he listened to the lectures very seriously and never even took a sick leave, except this time.
"I see you're alright, aren't you?"
"You're talking nonsense. I can still come online if I have something to do."
"Hey, can you teach me another trick? The hacking software you sent me can't be used unless someone opens it."
Compared with other things, Cheng Liang is more concerned about how to be a cyber hacker.
Xu Mingyuan didn't mention the computer again. One thousand yuan was already a very reasonable price. After all, mobile phones nowadays cost more than one thousand yuan.
However, Xu Mingyuan only had about 2,000 yuan in his hand. After getting a computer, he still needed to install an Internet cable. Nowadays, most families use dial-up Internet access, so he needed a landline telephone, which would cost more than 1,000 yuan a year.
This would use up all the money he had. Without Xiao Yangzhi to work, Xu Mingyuan didn't want to set up a night stall just to earn a living.
As for now, I'll just have to make do with it. At least the Internet cafe has air conditioning, which is better than a fan.
I sent a few web links to Cheng Liang and told him to play with them. I also chatted with Bu Jingyun, a college student, about what I was going to do, and then went to
machine.
"Dude, you're leaving so early today?"
Seeing Xu Mingyuan was about to leave, Cheng Liang asked.
"Go to the bank and open an online banking account."
Xu Mingyuan waved and walked out.
Xu Mingyuan had already planned the profit-making method, with 30% of the profit going to the Internet cafe owner and the network administrator. It was a free sum of money, so there was no reason for the Internet cafe not to make money.
This is an integrated version with no technical content. It is aimed at novice players and is not afraid of being cracked by people with computer knowledge. Such people can crack it, so it is not difficult to find a plug-in on the Internet. The only difficulty is the payment issue. With a serial number lock, there is no fear that Internet cafes will not pay. The main reason is that the payment function was made by an unknown netizen. Xu Mingyuan did not even ask his name.
Innocent young people are easy to fool, but that may not be the case once interests are involved. Moreover, the skills of this Bu Jingyun are not that good, and he has to ask others for help when he encounters difficulties. He may not have the intention to negotiate for money, but he is afraid that someone is instigating it behind the scenes.
If he established a company, it would be fine, as there would be legal protection. But even if Xu Mingyuan registered a company, he would not bring these people in. It was not illegal now, but he was afraid of being held accountable later.
Competition among major online game companies is fierce, and there are all kinds of plagiarisms. The only thing they do is stand on one side unanimously when facing plug-ins. Xu Mingyuan doesn't want to be the first to stand out, after all, the integrated software he makes will attract much more hatred than a single plug-in.
When Xu Mingyuan told Bu Jingyun about his idea of creating an online banking payment interface, the other party naturally understood that he wanted to make a fortune by using plug-ins.
Now that everything was made clear, Xu Mingyuan discussed the profit sharing. Since it was an offline promotion and they needed to recruit people to be promoters, he naturally wanted to take the lion's share and only gave the other party less than 10%.
Bu Jingyun didn't care. He just thought it would be a great thing if he could make money while in school.
Only when Xu Mingyuan mentioned that he wanted to understand the collection and payment functions was he reluctant, thinking that he was judging others by his own standards, but in the end he still spent a lot of time teaching him this knowledge.
It took Xu Mingyuan an entire afternoon to set up online banking. Although online banking had been launched in 00, not many people used this service.
In addition to the bank card, they also gave me a U-shield that looked like a small calculator. The rest were more than ten paper contracts and instructions. In the final analysis, the company would not be responsible for any problems that might arise.
"Brother, are you back?"
Seeing Xu Mingyuan open the door and come back, Yang Zhi, who was lying on the coffee table doing exercises, turned around and said.
"Well, if it wasn't me who came back, could it be my dad who climbed over the iron railings and came back?"
Xu Mingyuan threw down the plastic bag containing his bank cards, went to the balcony to pull down the dried clothes and went to the bathroom.
Yang Zhi choked when she heard this, pursed her lips and did not answer.
It’s not that Xu Mingyuan intended to provoke her, but this little girl is obedient, but she also has a lot of little ideas.
There was less money on the table a few days ago, but Xu Mingyuan didn't care. He thought she needed something and bought it with his own money.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up the next day, she stood timidly in front of him and said that she had deposited 500 yuan for Xu Jun.
Xu Mingyuan had told Xiao Yangzhi that she didn't need to worry about this matter, but this unfortunate child insisted on causing trouble.
Xu Jun's case is about to be sentenced, and Xiao Yangzhi knows what kind of person he is better than Xu Mingyuan himself.
He would have to spend all the five hundred yuan in the detention center in two days. A roasted chicken costs more than one hundred yuan, and he would have to ask his cellmates to help him with the money. I'm afraid it would be all spent in less than two days.
In fact, it’s not a big deal if he has spent it all, but he is just afraid of complications. If the court knew that he has money to spend but no money to pay the fine, they might sentence him to two more years.
The old man's only son is so good at beating people, and Xu Mingyuan has no choice but to ignore it.
But he really has no other choice now. He has to wait until he has enough money to pay the fine before he can find someone to be lenient with him and see if he can get a reduced sentence.
After explaining the interests clearly, Xiao Yangzhi has been in a bad mood for the past two days. Xu Mingyuan saw her coming out of the room with red eyes several times, and it seemed that she was secretly wiping away tears again.
When Xu Mingyuan came out of the shower, he saw Xiao Yangzhi tidying up the books on the table, so he said to her, "Go wash my clothes."
The air in the Internet cafe is not ventilated, and if you stay there for half a day, your clothes will be covered with the smell of cigarettes.
It’s not that Xu Mingyuan is lazy, he can also wash it himself. Not only will it be convenient for him, but it can also exercise Xiao Yangzhi’s hands-on ability. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?
"Oh……"
Xiao Yangzhi picked up the T-shirt thrown on the ground, added a spoonful of detergent into the basin, and rubbed it absentmindedly.
