"I'm really in the Daqian Building!" Zhang Zahui was very excited when he entered the internet cafe.
This was because the Daqian Building was a very special place in the eyes of the Yuzhang people. Since 1993, there had been a saying in Xijiang Province that half of Xijiang was in Yuzhang, and the other half was in the Daqian Building.
This meant that half of Xijiang Province's GDP was in Yuzhang City, and half of Yuzhang City's GDP was in the Daqian Group.
Most of the people in Yuzhang were living a good life now. The average monthly income of those who were directly related to the Daqian Building was about 3,000 RMB. In this era, it was equivalent to a monthly income of more than 20000 RMB in 2020.
At the same time, because the Daqian Building needed all kinds of materials in Xijiang Province, the entire industrial chain in Xijiang Province had benefited a lot from the Daqian Building.
Finally, the Daqian workers in Yuzhang had to spend money when they were paid, which led to the development of various other industries. To put it bluntly, the current Dongguan was not as famous as the future, but some of Yuzhang's fame had started to rise.
It could not be helped. After all, the people in Yuzhang were rich now.
Therefore, the people in Yuzhang generally liked the Daqian Building, and they also yearned to join the Daqian Group. Almost all the people in Yuzhang had the highest goal of joining the Daqian Group.
The Daqian Group had also introduced a welfare policy for the people in Yuzhang. For example, they would only recruit people from Yuzhang as regular workers. Ahem, ahem. That was a little off topic.
Anyway, the Daqian Group was the company that the people in Yuzhang wanted to join, and the Daqian Building was a place that all the people in Yuzhang wanted to visit.
For example, there were rumors in Yuzhang that the toilets in the Daqian Building were made of pure gold.
Therefore, after Zhang Zahui successfully entered the Daqian Building, although it was only the third floor, he was very excited. He looked at the scenery inside curiously. He even went to the toilet first, but it was a squat pit. There were no golden toilets at all.
After entering the Internet Cafe, Zhang Zahui saw the legendary Internet Cafe for the first time in his life.
In a huge space without any room, hundreds of tables and chairs were placed horizontally and vertically. Placed on top of the tables were brand new computers!
Zhang Zhahui couldn't stop drooling. It wasn't that he had never seen a computer before, but when so many computers appeared in front of him at the same time, Zhang Zhahui couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Isn't the Daqian afraid that someone will steal these computers?" Zhang Zahui instinctively had such an idea in his heart, but he shook his head after thinking about it. This was impossible. There was only one exit in the entire Internet cafe. No one could move a computer without making a sound.
Well, Zhang Zhahui did not know that it was impossible to steal the CPU, but it was very easy to remove the RAM every time. Therefore, many owners of internet cafes in the future had no choice but to develop computers that could be locked.
Our Boss Jia naturally had the foresight to add locks to all the computer boxes in this life.
"Hello, would you like to open a card?" Seeing Zhang Zahui, a girl sitting behind the counter took the initiative to ask.
"Open a card?" Zhang Zahui's expression was a little puzzled. The girl took the initiative to explain, "Our Internet Cafe is divided into two types: temporary cards and membership cards. A temporary card is a temporary card. You need to pay in advance. You can use as much as you pay. If you don't use it up, you can refund it. The price is 1.50 yuan per hour! The lowest charging standard is 50 yuan for 20 minutes. "
"In other words, as long as you open a card, you need to spend at least 50 yuan."
"If it's a membership card, you need to recharge at least 100 yuan in one go to open the card. However, if you recharge 100 yuan, you will be given an additional 20 yuan in internet fees."
"If you recharge 500 yuan in one go, you will be given an additional 150 yuan in internet fees."
"If you recharge 1000 yuan in one go, you will be given an additional 400 yuan in internet fees."
"In addition, if you are a member, you don't need to activate it at the front desk. You can play at any time in the Internet cafe. You just need to enter your membership card number and password. It's very convenient."
"However, no matter if it's a membership card or a temporary card, you need to show your ID. Our Internet cafe does not welcome minors!" The girl explained simply.
"This price is really cheap!" Zhang Zahui's eyes lit up. Although 1.5 yuan was very valuable in this era, a computer was even more valuable. Being able to play a computer for an hour for 1.5 yuan was definitely a very cost-effective thing in the eyes of people in this era.
In fact, at this time in the Internet cafes opened in Shanghai and Beijing, the internet fees were 10 yuan per hour. If you weren't rich, you wouldn't be able to go online at all.
However, it wasn't that those Internet cafes were too greedy. It was just that the cost of the computer and the internet was there. The internet cost of an Internet cafe for a month was at least 10,000 yuan.
Only our Boss Jia directly connected the internet from the Daqian Group and saved a lot of internet costs. In addition, the cost of a computer was about 3,000 yuan. As for other people's computers, they were all bought by Lenovo. Each of them was beaten to the price of 9,000 yuan. It was a loss like a dog.
There was also the rule that you need to show your ID card to go online. Now it seemed to be a very normal rule because any Internet cafe had such a rule.
But in fact, this was something that happened after 2010. Before that, Internet cafes didn't have mandatory ID cards. A little further back, there wasn't even a rule that minors couldn't enter.
That was the era when Internet cafes grew wild. Countless minors were addicted to online games.
Although Boss Jia hated the saying that online games had destroyed an entire generation, he felt that it was a very one-sided statement to put the blame on games and call them mental heroin. After all, games didn't force people to play.
But it was undeniable that online games had a very strong attraction for minors. It would make them go astray on the right path and ruin the future of many people.
Therefore, Boss Jia took the initiative to set this rule. You must show your ID card to apply for a card, and minors were not allowed to enter. It could be said that Boss Jia had a little conscience.
"Give me a temporary card!" Zhang Zahui thought for a moment and then took out his ID card.
"Okay, this is your temporary card. I have already charged it for you for free for an hour. After an hour, the computer will automatically lock the screen. If you want to continue playing, please come to me to recharge and renew your card!" The receptionist said.
Zhang Zahui nodded and then happily took the temporary card and found a computer by the window to sit down. It was just that there weren't many people in the Internet cafe, so Zhang Zahui had a lot of choices.
"Hello sir, I am the manager here. Do you need me to help you turn on your computer?" A young man who was patrolling nearby took the initiative to come over and said.
"Okay, thank you!" Zhang Zahui really didn't know how to turn on the computer. Although he had seen a computer, he had never played with it. As for turning on the computer, he didn't know how to do it either.
99% of Hua Xia people in this era were computer novices. They were really in an era where they didn't even know how to turn on the computer.
