Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Although the seats of Moyu Internet cafes are much looser than other Internet cafes, there are limits to how loose they are.

When the player is online, all he needs is a table and a chair. Even if there is enough space on the sides and back to allow others to move around freely, enough surplus is given, at most four or five square meters. .

　　 Although the VR device can theoretically be played in a space of four or five square meters, this is only the basic space required for the game, and the buffer area is not included.

　　 If you are in your own living room or study room, five square meters of space is enough, because this is a private space, basically you don’t have to worry about encountering things or other people during the game.

　　 But it's different in Internet cafes.

　　 If the available area of ​​two players is 5 square meters, but because the two players are constantly moving and waving their arms, it is easy to touch each other and affect the game experience.

　　 So, to be on the safe side, if you want to change to a VR device experience, you have to make partitions, and the space is larger than your own home. The real area required is at least six or even seven square meters.

　　Each device has an area of ​​two square meters, and the number of customers that can be accommodated in the entire space is much less?

　　 Moreover, VR games are just a momentary freshness, not a long-term solution. The real demand of most customers is to start hacking with their friends on the computer and play more mobile games.

　　 Moyu Internet Cafe opened this VR game experience area. It is very likely that the attendance rate was good at the beginning, but it quickly became deserted. After the craze, no one cares about it.

　　People on the first floor want to play, but they don’t have a seat; the VR devices on the second floor are all empty and no one comes to play.

　　 What a wonderful scene!

　　 Then, Pei Qian went to the shop of Moyu Internet Cafe, which is the sales area.

This is also the layout that was finalized when Moyu Internet Cafe 1.0 was first planned. This sales area is not large, with only four or five containers. Basically, it sells peripheral products related to games, such as mice and keyboards. , Handles, etc.

　　 After Moyu Internet Cafe developed the ROF installation business, there are also some products such as graphics cards, memory or ROF machines on sale and display.

　　 As far as Pei Qian knows, the peripherals in this place are selling pretty well!

　　Because Zhang Yuan checked the Internet cafe by Moyu, and the recruited shop assistants are also very knowledgeable about computers. The keyboards, mice, and headsets they choose are all classic models of first-line famous brands, which are absolutely easy to use.

The players found it very useful after visiting and trying it out. They paid for it directly. Although it is more expensive than online sales, most of the customers who can come to catch fish and Internet cafes do not care about the price difference. .

After 　　 Moyu Internet cafes became popular, there was a lot of traffic, and this has become a huge source of income for Moyu Internet cafes!

　　 Pei Qian said: "All third-party products here, including keyboards, mice, headsets, etc., are all cleared and will not be sold in the future! We will only sell our own products."

　　 "Of course, the original recommendation function must be retained. The clerk can still recommend keyboards, mice and other peripherals to customers, but after the recommendation is over, let the customers order online by themselves, and we will not earn the money of the second seller."

　　 In this way, Moyu Internet Cafe will lose another piece of income.

Although Tenda’s products may also be profitable, in general, Tenda’s current products are relatively small, and there are not a few products in this place. Compared with the previous categories, it can be said that it is a significant reduction in sales. Will also be greatly reduced.

　　 Moreover, after the formation of the "professional sales team" led by Tian Mo, Pei Qian will start to arrange for the sales there to "occupy" all the sales areas of Moyu Internet cafes in turn, which will have a persuasive effect on customers.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 In this way, the income of Moyu Internet cafes will definitely decrease!

　　 Although it may not drop a lot, but the accumulation of less will result in more.

　　 Now Moyu Internet cafes have opened so many stores, and each store drops a little, and all of them add up to a big number.

　　 Xiao Peng frowned, thinking seriously.

　　 Obviously, he is interpreting the deep meaning of Mr. Pei’s words.

Xiao Peng is a group of older employees of Moyu Internet Cafe. He has witnessed the whole process of Moyu Internet Cafe's turnaround. Moreover, the models of Moyu Internet Cafe 2.0 and 3.0 are all operated by him, which can be said to be right for the entire Moyu Internet Cafe business. The understanding of the pattern is very deep.

　　 Obviously, he feels that Mr. Pei’s plan has some problems.

　　 "Pei, VR games are likely to be the general trend of future game development. I understand this very well."

　　 "But...the current development of VR games is still too immature. Compared with computer players, the number of players in the entire group is not one or two orders of magnitude worse."

　　 "The number of players interested in VR games is less than a fraction of the number of computer players."

　　 "Of course I am in favor of Moyu Internet cafes opening a VR area, but it shouldn't take up the same size as a computer? I think 1:2 is almost the same, or even smaller."

　　 Pei Qian chuckled.

　　 I knew that Xiao Peng would not accept this loss-making plan so willingly.

　　 But it’s okay, Mr. Pei has a three-inch tongue waiting for these diehard diehards.

　　 "You are right. Compared with computer players, the VR player community is indeed several orders of magnitude worse."

　　 "But... have you ever thought that it is for this reason that we have to use more VR equipment?"

　　 "Huh?" Xiao Peng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't react for a while.

Pei Qian explained: "Five years ago or even ten years ago, Internet cafes were much more popular than they are now. Why? Because at that time most players were poor and could not afford high-end computers and could not get the best gaming experience. So I chose to go to Internet cafes with my friends to open black."

　　 "Why has the entire Internet cafe industry changed in recent years? There are fewer and fewer Internet cafes, more sophisticated, from the smoky low-end Internet cafes to the elegant and comfortable high-end Internet cafes?"

　　 "It is because the functions carried by Internet cafes are different."

　　 "Now everyone's economic level is high, and there are more and more people with high-quality computers. Therefore, the number of people facing Internet cafes is narrowing, and the model has to be changed."

　　 Xiao Peng nodded, deeply agreeing with this.

　　 Obviously, this is also one of the key reasons why Moyu Internet Cafe can stand out among the Internet cafe brands: it was the first brand to be a high-end Internet cafe, leading the entire market for a year or two.

Pei Qian continued: "In the future, Internet cafes will not necessarily disappear, but its purely for playing games will definitely become more and more diminished. Moreover, in recent years, there has been a trend of gradual decline of terminal games and rapid rise of mobile games. , Which makes the situation of Internet cafes even more difficult."

"VR game players are indeed relatively small, but have you ever thought: It is because VR is a new thing and there are fewer players willing to buy VR glasses, so they are more inclined to experience it in Internet cafes? Fishnet cafes are equipped with a large number of VR glasses, so that players' enthusiasm for trial play can be satisfied as much as possible, so that the entire group of VR players can expand faster?"

　　 Pei Qian's expression is serious, as if he said it.

　　 In fact, he knew very well in his heart that in his memory, this should be an impractical business model. At least the high-end Internet cafes he remembered did not replace half of the entire Internet cafe computer with VR glasses.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 But it’s okay, it doesn’t affect his words to fudge Xiao Peng.

　　 Pei Qian is convinced that with his powerful flickering ability and acting skills, coupled with his aura as the helm of the Tenda Group, Xiao Peng can definitely be arranged clearly and let him accept this decision in its entirety.

　　 As expected, Xiao Peng showed a dazed expression after thinking deeply.

　　 "That's it!"

"The success of Moyu Internet cafes is due to the insight into the development law of the entire Internet cafe industry, and we are ahead of all peers; and now when a large number of high-end Internet cafes are emerging and competition is fierce, we have to take another big step forward. Go ahead of all colleagues again!"

　　 "The VR experience zone will be a core selling point that differentiates us from other Internet cafes by then!"

　　 "President Pei really has a foresight!"

After 　　 suddenly became clear, Xiao Peng suddenly thought of some ideas: "President Pei, I have a suggestion if you want to say this."

　　 "We can change all the computer desks and monitors on the second floor to foldable forms. The mainframe is placed on top of the head, the mouse, keyboard, earphones, head-mounted display, etc. are all hung up, and the chair is also folded.

　　 "In this way, in the folded state, the player has enough space to experience VR content, and when the desktop and stool are unfolded, the player can also play computer games normally."

　　 Pei Qian: "..."

　　You are such a clever ghost!

　　 Obviously Xiao Peng’s plan is a more compromised plan. Although the entire VR experience zone is based on VR experience, it is also possible to surf the Internet and play games normally.

　　 This is equivalent to taking an insurance. When the VR boom subsides, players can continue to come back to play computer games.

　　 Pei Qian smiled in his heart.

　　 Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng, in fact, if you didn't tell me ~www.ltnovel.com~ but you did it on your own, I definitely couldn't help it afterwards.

　　 But you tell me now, don’t you let me take precautions in advance?

　　 Pei Qian thought for a while, and immediately said, "Of course not!"

　　 "The monitor and the computer desktop are made to be folded, which shouldn't be a big problem. But the chair is also made to be folded, and it will definitely be uncomfortable to sit!

　　 "No matter how you design a folding chair, it is difficult to compare with a specialized ergonomic chair, gaming chair, or single-seat sofa, because the premise of folding will definitely sacrifice comfort."

　　 "We want to give players the most perfect experience, we can't do it like this."

　　 Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Uh... what you said makes sense, Mr. Pei, this is really wrong."

"However, even if you are playing VR games, you still need a host? After all, those large VR games are operated on the host. And when opening the game platform or searching for content, you still need to use the keyboard, mouse and monitor. ."

　　 "Even if the seats are no longer needed, these can't be saved, right?"

　　 Pei Qian thought for a while, that's really the case.

　　In terms of the current level of VR headset technology and content, it is impossible to completely replace the PC. Many content needs to be set on the PC before the headset can be experienced.

　　 VR all-in-one machines can only run VR games that are similar in size to mobile games. Those large games still have to be calculated by computers.

　　 So the display screen, host and keyboard and mouse are still essential.
