Sun Hao and Ni Ying came to a park not far from the mall. Although it was already dark, there were still many couples in the park, talking about love. Sun Hao and Ni Ying found a long bench and sat down. Sun Hao held Ni Ying's hand, and the two of them sat there, feeling each other's body temperature.
"Ah Hao, can you tell me why you suddenly thought of opening an internet cafe?”Sitting on the chair, Ni Ying looked at Sun Hao and asked with a smile. Although Ni Ying didn't want to interfere with anything Sun Hao did, she was curious why Sun Hao wanted to do business that only an adult could do. Now, Ni Ying couldn't understand Sun Hao.
"Because we are still too young. Just like this time, if I participate in such a competition at such a young age, others will treat you as a monster. Therefore, we need to eat and develop our strength. When we can walk out of school, we will definitely surprise others.”Sun Hao said to Ni Ying. Although he didn't know if Ni Ying could understand him, he still told her his thoughts.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
At noon the next day, Song Chunfeng rushed to Sun Hao's class to find him.
"Brother Li, how is it?" Seeing Song Chunfeng's expression, Sun Hao knew that there must be news about the house, so he hurriedly asked Song Chunfeng.
"I'm exhausted. I ran around the whole morning and found more than ten houses. The houses were either too small or the layout was not good, but I finally found one.”Song Chunfeng panted as he spoke to Sun Hao.
"What about the house?" Hearing that Song Chunfeng could find a house in one morning, Sun Hao was very happy. After all, the internet cafe was going to be popular soon, so the earlier it opened, the better.
"The house is not bad, more than 200 square meters. It's enough for an internet cafe. The layout is not bad. It used to be a restaurant, but now the other party is ready to quit. There are a few private rooms inside, but the price they offered is a little high.”Song Chunfeng ran around for the whole morning and found a restaurant that was about to close down. Song Chunfeng looked at the layout of the house. It was really not bad. There was a spacious hall and five private rooms. However, the price that the boss offered was a little high. After telling the boss to go back and think about it, he hurriedly came to find Sun Hao.
"As long as the house is good, there's no problem. I'll take a leave of absence later.”After hearing Song Chunfeng's words, Sun Hao felt that the price was indeed a little too high. At the end of 1999, the real estate market was not as hot as it had been in the past. The current market price was only around 3,000 yuan per square meter, which was three times lower than the price of 10,000 yuan per square meter in ten years. Therefore, the rent was also cheaper. However, due to the urgency of opening the shop, this small amount of money did not seem so important.
In the afternoon, Sun Hao asked for leave from his homeroom teacher, Li Jing. Li Jing readily agreed because the principal had previously said that whenever Sun Hao wanted to take leave, as long as it did not interfere with the normal management system, the green light would be given. In fact, Li Jing also liked Sun Hao very much. Not only did he have good academic results, but he was always in the top few at the beginning. He was also very talented. Therefore, Li Jing did not hesitate at all when Sun Hao asked for leave and agreed readily.
Sun Hao followed Song Chunfeng to a restaurant near S High School. Sun Hao looked around and saw that it was really about to close down. It was already lunchtime, but there were only two tables of customers in the restaurant.
Sun Hao and Song Chunfeng pushed the door open and entered. The owner of the restaurant saw that he was here to look at the house in the morning and hurriedly walked over. He smiled at Song Chunfeng and said,"So it's Boss Song. How is it? Have you thought about it? Where can I find a house as big as mine? It's so spacious. No matter if it's a restaurant or something else, I can't find a better place.”The boss kept telling Song Chunfeng about the benefits of this restaurant.
"Okay, I got it. I'll take my brother to see this house.”Before Sun Hao came, he had already told Song Chunfeng not to let Song Chunfeng tell the boss that Sun Haoyao was renting the house. At Sun Hao's age, renting such a big restaurant was not justifiable.
Sun Hao followed Song Chunfeng to look around the restaurant for a while. Sun Hao felt that it was really as Song Chunfeng had said. It was really suitable for opening an internet cafe because the layout of the restaurant's lobby was very large. It was a full 150 square meters, which was definitely enough to store about 50 computers. Moreover, the private room was also very large. It could fit two computers and a sofa. The boss said that during the renovation, the counter was specially vacated at the entrance. However, because it was a restaurant, the boss finally moved the front desk to the back and placed two pots of relatively large flowers in the original position.
This was more in line with Sun Hao's requirements. The front desk at the entrance could be used for the cashier, and the cashier at the back of the restaurant could be used to place the switch. Coupled with the central air conditioning in the restaurant, Sun Hao felt that this restaurant was tailor-made for him to be an Internet cafe.
Although Sun Hao had his eyes on this restaurant, the price still needed to be discussed. Although it was only a few hundred yuan, it was a few thousand yuan a year. It was enough to buy a computer. Although Sun Hao was generous, he did not want this cunning restaurant owner to treat him and Song Chunfeng as children who had never experienced the market. Therefore, Sun Hao gave Song Chunfeng a look.
Seeing Sun Hao's gaze, Song Chunfeng immediately understood, so he pretended to be reluctant and said to the boss,""Look at how old this place is. And that place, it's all broken, and…"
After picking out a lot of faults, the owner of the restaurant was a little anxious. It seemed that he had underestimated the young man in front of him. He had originally wanted to rent the place that was originally worth 3,000 yuan a month to 5,000 yuan because Song Chunfeng was not old. Now, it seemed that the other party was not stupid.
After a round of bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement at the price of 50,000 yuan a year. Sun Hao immediately asked Song Chunfeng to sign the rental agreement with the owner of the restaurant. Because there were too many things needed to open an Internet cafe, Sun Hao didn't want to waste too much time on this matter. It was better to settle it as soon as possible.
After the problem with the house was solved, Sun Hao and Song Chunfeng walked out of the restaurant.
"How do you solve the problem of the procedures?”Thinking about the business license, Sun Hao shook his head and walked toward the school.
Sun Hao returned to the classroom and saw Lu Yifei and Liu Zhongda talking about something, so he walked over.
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?" Sun Hao said to the two of them. Sun Hao didn't know how to tell Liu Zhongda. Although Liu Zhongda's father was the deputy chief of City H, it was very abnormal for a junior high school student to discuss the issue of opening an Internet cafe with his father. Although Liu Zhongda's parents knew about the competition in City B, they only participated in the name of the school.
If Liu Zhongda had used Song Chunfeng's internet cafe to discuss with his father, it would still be possible. However, his father was not stupid. Song Chunfeng was a university student, and how could a university student know Liu Zhongda, who was only in junior high school? Thinking of this, Sun Hao couldn't help but feel a headache.
Right, didn't Liu Zhongda learn how to play drums now? He could just let Liu Zhongda say that Song Chunfeng was his instructor. Thinking of this, Sun Hao smiled happily.
"Zhongda, I have something to discuss with you.”Sun Hao said to Liu Zhongda with an evil smile.
"What's the matter? Why do you have such an expression?”Seeing Sun Hao's appearance, Liu Zhongda felt a little scared, but this kind child still asked Sun Hao in confusion.
"It's like this. I want to open an internet café, right? You all know that, but I need to go through the necessary procedures.”Sun Hao found a chair, sat down, and slowly told Liu Zhongda.
"What kind of procedures do you need?" Liu Zhongda asked foolishly, not knowing that he had fallen into Sun Hao's little trap.
"Of course it's the license to open an internet café, but these are all very difficult.”Sun Hao saw that Liu Zhongda had already begun to cooperate with him. He continued to speak while feeling a little smug.
"What's so difficult about a certificate?”Liu Zhongda still didn't understand what Sun Hao meant.
" Of course it's not difficult for you, but for us…"
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
After dealing with Liu Zhongda and repeatedly emphasizing that he had to say that Song Chunfeng opened the internet cafe when he got home, Sun Hao went out of the school because he had taken the afternoon off. He found Song Chunfeng, who had been waiting there for a long time. The two of them discussed and decided to use the afternoon to go to the computer city to see what configuration was best for the internet cafe's machines.
When he arrived at the computer city in City H, Sun Hao looked at the advertisements of the latest configuration on the shops. He couldn't help but frown. This configuration was simply too low.
In fact, Sun Hao started using the computer later. At that time, it was already quite good. Later, he changed to a dual-core brand computer. The 2G memory and quad-core CPU were great for playing games and making music. However, when he saw the " latest product ", Sun Hao felt like hitting a wall.
With an AMD350MHZ CPU, one could only imagine a game like Legend of the Sword and Fairy, and the 64mb memory would probably be stuck for half a day even if it was used on an Office97. As for the AGP2X graphics card, it was not even necessary to mention it. It was fine to watch movies of average quality, but when it came to playing games, especially online games that would appear soon, it would definitely be " one step at a time is very cool, one step at a time is very stylish."
Therefore, Sun Hao had no choice but to ask the owner of a shop for a pen washi. He thought for a moment and brought the lowest configuration of those online games.
Sun Hao remembered that the CPU market in 1999 was really exciting. At that time, Intel and AMDhad their own strengths, and new products emerged one after another. Intel was still the big brother in the processor market.
At the end of 1999, its high frequency and the use of the latest technology to support the 133-MHZ external frequency PentiumIII processor were released. The Barcelon processor was still doing well, taking up most of the sales in the low-end market.
However, after losing the competition between the K6-2 and the Warrion, and the K6-3 and the PentiumII, they did not give up. Instead, they immediately regrouped and launched the K7Athlon processor with the SlotA interface before the arrival of Qianxi. They also left the PentiumIII processor with the same frequency behind in many tests.
Since internet cafes were usually used by people to play games, the performance of games was still Sun Hao's top priority. Therefore, Sun Hao decided to use an AMD800MHZ CPU. In terms of cost-performance ratio, Sun Hao decided to use an AMD800MHZ CPU because a P3800MHZ CPU was still very expensive at this time, costing more than 2,000 yuan. The performance was not much better than an AMD800MHZ CPU, which cost less than 1,000 yuan.
In terms of memory, Sun Hao decided to use a 128mb memory. At this time, the mainstream memory was only 64mb. However, Sun Hao realized that 64mb would not be enough after a period of time. Therefore, in order to get ahead of time, 128mb was necessary. At least, it could be used in online games like "Stone Age" and "Millennium". However, 128mb memory in this era was frighteningly expensive. One memory cost nearly 1,000 yuan. This was enough for Sun Hao to buy four 2mb memory in his previous life. However, electronic products were updated faster. He had no choice but to choose this one.
The hard disk and graphics card were relatively simple. At this time, the hard disk was relatively small, divided into 6G and 10G. After connecting to the host, the customers in the Internet cafe did not need the hard disk.）Because the game was relatively small, Sun Hao planned to buy the largest 20G hard disk, which was only 2,000 yuan. As for the graphics card, it was not very important at this time. An integrated one would do. There was no need to waste money on a standalone graphics card. He could just add it in the future if he needed it.
In addition to the monitor, case, keyboard, mouse, and other things, Sun Hao calculated that one machine was about 5,000 yuan. This price was still acceptable to Sun Hao and the others.
However, there was a problem. Sun Hao wanted the parts in bulk and was going to install them on his own. These things were beyond the mainstream range. Therefore, although the merchants in the mall wanted to do business with Sun Hao, Sun Hao was in a hurry. All of them arrived in a week, so some merchants with insufficient financial strength retreated. Among the last few, Song Chunfeng chose the one with the cheapest price and the largest store and paid the deposit.
After Sun Hao and Song Chunfeng ordered a host and a switch, the two of them walked out of the computer city.
