Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading Chapter 9

Diablo 3 public beta two days before.

Mu Yang came to a large Internet cafe outside the school, Miracle Internet Cafe.

There are more than 200 computers in this Internet cafe. There are ordinary computers on the first floor, and boxes on the second floor. There are five computers in each box, which can satisfy players who like to play.

At the same time, some couples who like the atmosphere and do not want to be disturbed by outsiders are also favored.

The hourly price for an ordinary machine to access the Internet is 2 yuan. If you participate in the recharge reward activity, it is about one yuan and seven.

The computer in the box is better equipped, and the hourly price for Internet access is 3 yuan.

It takes 24 hours to turn on the coin to brush gold coins, and it is easy for people to tamper with the computer when the ordinary machine is hung up, and Mu Yang does not want to be exposed.

It's not that Mu Yang never thought about buying a computer, but to play Diablo 3, the computer configuration requirements are not low, and the computer is more expensive. Second-hand computers are cheap, prone to problems, and fail to meet the requirements.

Also, he didn't want a computer or two.

One computer can only be opened in two ways. If 30 game numbers are opened, 15 computers are needed, and funds are in short supply.

The most important thing is that these days, the speed of the residential network is lower than that of the optical fiber in the Internet bar. If the machine is often stuck, it will make a dime.

The chores such as renting a house, pulling a network cable, buying a computer, assembling, moving, and wiring, can't be done in a few days, and it's too much trouble. If you have this time, it is better to have more experience in reading books and brushing. It costs several thousand yuan a day.

Mu Yang inspected this Internet cafe and came to the bar.

The female cashier about 20 years old saw that he was standing in front of the bar and didn't swipe his card, so she asked him politely, "Handsome guy, let's go online, just swipe the card with your ID card."

"No, I have something to do with your boss." Mu Yang replied, pointing to the middle-aged fat man who was checking accounts at the bar.

"Little brother, what's the matter?" Boss Zhang heard someone looking for him, turned to look at Mu Yang carefully, with a good face, not like a gangster.

Boss Zhang handed him the cigarette, and he was most afraid of gangsters who would make trouble when he opened an Internet cafe. Even if he could hire someone to solve it, if the gangster came in with a machete and hacked, the customers would all run away. In the future, who would dare to come to his Internet cafe to surf the Internet.

"Boss, you're welcome. I don't smoke. I want to rent 3 boxes and 15 machines for 30 days. How much?"

Boss Zhang was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, brother, what game business are you planning to do? The most popular games now are Z Tu and Dahua Westward Journey."

Mu Yang said nonsense: "I received a few big orders, let's level up on the Z route, and brush some equipment by the way."

Boss Zhang gave a thumbs up: "It's amazing, you can't get such a big order in a studio."

Mu Yang said nonsense again: "The local tyrants in the game are just supportive, just know each other.

Otherwise, how can I have such good luck, let me tell you how much it costs, if it is too much, I will change place, there are many Internet cafes nearby. "

Boss Zhang didn't quote directly, so he was really afraid to scare off the "big customer" in front of him: "Brother, I'll do the math with you, the Internet access fee in the box is 3 yuan an hour, even if it is a recharge discount of 2 yuan 7, 24 hours, there are The cost of 9 hours overnight is 15 yuan, and a machine is 55.5 yuan a day, which is 55 yuan for you.

825 yuan for 15 machines, 24750 yuan for 30 days. "

Boss Zhang doesn't want to fool around. If he calculates at 72 yuan a day, it is estimated that this young man will turn around and leave immediately.

Internet cafes are transparent about the cost of Internet access, and it is difficult to fool people.

After hearing this, Mu Yang sneered and said, "Boss, you're not funny. Your Internet cafe's attendance rate is 60% during the day, 90% at night, and 50% overnight.

In this way, 24 hours a day, the computer vacancy rate reaches 40%, the actual income of a computer is about 33 yuan a day, I will give a computer 38 yuan, will it work? "

"Hey, brother, if you don't take it with you, you will also have to pay for the internet and electricity, so let's go, 50 yuan a day." Boss Zhang couldn't imagine that he still knew how to do things, but according to Muyang's attendance rate, it would definitely not work.

But no matter what, 38 yuan a day is definitely not enough.

40% of the vacancy rate, that is, 9 hours more on the computer, the electricity cost of the computer alone will also cost one or two yuan, and there are other losses.

And 9 hours to only make two dollars, this is definitely not good.

Not to mention 38 yuan, less than 40 yuan, he does not want to rent.

"Boss, the electricity bill is a dime. A computer with a power of 100 to 200 watts is enough for seven hours of electricity. Commercial electricity is only one dollar.

As for the Internet fee, boss, you are really joking, you pay a fixed fee every month, and it is a waste not to use it. "

In fact, for Mu Yang, even if the price is higher, he will choose this Internet cafe, which is more in line with his requirements.

This Internet cafe rarely disconnects from power outages, while other Internet cafes are hard to say. As long as the power outage is disconnected once and the time is delayed, he will lose more than a few thousand dollars.

But if you can bargain, you can save a little bit, and the poor are used to it.

Boss Zhang laughed, scolding the young man for being so stingy, and waved his hands to disagree.

Mu Yang looked at the boss's expression, thought for a while, and said, "Boss, 40 yuan, in one sentence, can I talk to another Internet cafe, there are more than a dozen Internet cafes nearby, and there are always people who can talk about it, but I am a frequent visitor here. I feel that you are a good boss, so I will choose this place first."

"Hey, I'm saying this to you, it sounds good, then 40 yuan, it's really not making money." Boss Zhang sighed, not worrying about how many yuan a day was less.

It's really not as good as a few years ago to open an Internet cafe to make money. He really regrets coming in late.

"To be honest, lad, I keep the box, even if I make less money, but it doesn't take up space, and I can still keep customers.

You are alone, occupying so many machines, it is not about money, just like if you package the entire Internet cafe, I will not agree, the customers are all gone, what business do I do. "

"But some money is better than nothing, isn't it, boss." Mu Yang laughed, 40 yuan is acceptable, so there's no need to worry about how many yuan, even shopping around is a waste of time.

"40 yuan for a set, 15 sets for 600 yuan a day, 18,000 yuan for 30 days, when did you start to pack?" The boss put out the cigarette, took a breath, and took the calculator to calculate.

"Well, let's start at ten o'clock in the evening on November 11." Mu Yang took out 18,000 cash from his backpack and handed it to the boss. He was used to paying by mobile phone. He hadn't touched so much cash for many years.

After Boss Zhang has counted the money, ask him to write a receipt of money, indicating the start time and end time of the chartered flight, as well as the price, so as not to change his mind halfway.

If more money is traded, Muyang will also ask to note the liquidated damages. Being cautious is like regretting in the future.

"Please explain to your network administrator and waiter. When I was contracting the computer, no one else was allowed to enter. After all, it was a way to make money. You don't need to restart the machine in the morning, and you don't need a cleaner to clean up. It's too troublesome to log in to the computer again."

"Understood, as long as you don't break the computer, but having to take a few minutes of downtime every five days doesn't work well for long periods of time."

Mu Yang thought for a while, and quickly agreed: "Yes, I'm more worried than you about the abnormality of the computer, and if you don't tell me, I will shut down the computer from time to time to cool down.

Before tomorrow night, let the network administrator clean the case of the computer I want to rent, and replace the broken computer and keyboard for me. "

Internet cafes have to restart all machines to restore the system in the morning, but some lunatics continue to play until noon after all night, even for two or three days.

Muyang designated boxes 5-7 in the corner on the second floor of the Internet cafe, and then got to know the two network administrators, and just come and board the plane tomorrow night.

Turning on the computer 24 hours a day also requires someone to guard the computer to prevent the computer from abnormality without his knowledge, or someone entering the box and tampering with the computer.

In addition, it is estimated that it will take an hour to manually operate each game account from logging in to the secret realm. Without the original game code, his on-hook software is not powerful enough to operate 30 game accounts simultaneously.

Thirty coin-swiping game numbers take nearly 30 hours to operate. It must be done within a day and requires two people to operate.

Too time consuming!

Rebooting the computer after shutdown, handling exceptions, buying game equipment and replacing equipment, also requires human help.

In order to keep secrets, Mu Yang thought of Fatty and asked him to help him level up, as long as he paid some wages.

In addition, three people need to take turns to guard the machine, there are plug-ins, and they do not need to operate the computer.

Mu Yang and the boss discussed the matter of renting the computer. After checking that the computer was ok, he called Fatty. On the way back to school, he found him at the roadside stall. This guy was eating.

Seeing that there was no one at his desk, he sat down and asked him directly:

"Fatty, do you want to make money?"

"Just kidding, my living expenses are only 700 a month, and I'm so poor that I'm crazy, do you have a way?" This month, Fatty saw that Muyang's living standard had improved a lot, and he was dressed well. He thought it was the family's financial situation. All right.

"Help me with my work for a month, 2,000 yuan. If it goes well, I'll give you an extra 1,000 yuan at the end. Do you want to do it?" Mu Yang explained to him clearly.

This year, the wages of ordinary workers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are about 3,000 yuan, and the wages of skilled workers will be higher.

Compared with other provinces, it is relatively high.

If it is an undergraduate graduate of their school, the starting salary is about 2,000 yuan. In the final analysis, it depends on the region and the company.

The better the college graduates, the higher the education level, the better the business efficiency and the higher the starting salary.

Mu Yang estimates that Diablo 3 will earn a minimum of 3 million yuan, and if it goes well, it will be far more than that.

No matter how much you do and how much you give, even if it is a classmate, it is still the same, and you will not give more money for no reason. Help build the account to upgrade, help maintain it every day, two or three thousand yuan is a lot.

"Two thousand yuan, that's so much, let's do it, of course." The fat man was really excited when he heard the two thousand yuan. It was enough for his living expenses for two or three months. He could buy a second-hand computer and save money on the Internet.

However, UU reading www.uukanshu.com wondered in his heart, how could there be so many, and asked in a low voice, "Yozi, wouldn't it be illegal, then I won't do it."

"You think too much, it's not illegal, even if you rob a bank, you won't be looking for you.

Hehe, with your weight, it's no wonder that you can run away, and you're also embarrassing your teammates. "

"Hey, then I can rest assured and talk about what to do."

"The game Diablo 3, you know."

"Well, there have been a lot of reports on this game recently. I know there is such a thing, but I don't know the specifics. My mind is full of Z paths."

Mu Yang probably told him some things about the game that required his cooperation and could not be kept secret.

The core thing, even if Fatty wants to steal it, he can't steal it.

Fatty is obsessed with Z all day long and doesn't know much about this game.

Mu Yang said, "I have purchased 15 computers in an Internet cafe for a month. I will tell you how to do it when the server starts tomorrow."

Fatty widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Let's lean on, how much does it cost to pack 15 computers in an Internet cafe for a month?"

"Ten thousand or several thousand, pay the money in installments, we just need to know about it, don't talk nonsense to other people, including Zheng Zhe and the others."

"Thousands of dollars, you can buy a few computers. Are you so sure that you can make money?"

"Can you make money? You don't have to worry about it. I have to ask three more people to help you see the machine. I will write a poster first, and you will copy a few copies later, and then help me to post it." I took out a pen and a 16-note book, and wrote the poster on the table.

Fatty still has a lot of questions, where did Mu Yang get so much money and what did he plan to do? Could it be that the 15 machines are just hanging up for equipment?

But seeing Mu Yang sitting down to write the poster, he stopped answering his questions, so he had to stand beside him and watch what he wrote.
