Ma Yang scratched his head. "Fresh Air System? What's that? "
"Ask Qiandu." Pei Qian did not explain further as he switched on his computer to play Ocean Stronghold.
Fresh Air System appeared a long time ago. Around 2000, Europe had already set up detailed standards for it and it was gradually used in households and businesses.
Fresh Air System and air purifiers became popular in the country only after the smog hit the charts. Around 2014, most people only knew about these things.
At the moment, most of the fresh air systems were foreign brands and were extremely expensive.
However, to Pei Qian, that was not their weakness. Instead, it was their strength!
After playing Ocean Stronghold, Pei Qian played it for a while.
It was indeed a high-end computer. The gaming experience was amazing!
Once he entered the game, he adjusted all the settings to the max to ensure the ultimate visual experience!
This computer was excellent in all aspects and had no weaknesses except for one.
There was no way to push the blame when he lost the game!
Things like 'my mouse is beeping', 'my keyboard is stuck', 'my computer is lagging', 'my monitor is black', 'my earphones are leaking electricity' …
None of them would appear.
If he did not play well, he could not push the blame to the computer. He could only blame himself for being lousy!
To some people, this should be a weakness, right?
He played two rounds of PvP mode and was beaten like a dog.
He played two rounds of Biochemical mode and was still beaten like a dog.
He could only play story mode.
"Indeed, a smart person like me can't play games that rely on reflexes. Story mode is still more fun. "
Pei Qian sighed as he played story mode.
This was actually a game that I created!
He wondered what Huang Sibo and Bao Xu had gone through.
As Pei Qian was playing, Zhang Yuan served him a glass of wine.
The glass was not big, but the wine inside was very bright. The bottom was dark red and the top was apple green. The two colors gradually blended in the middle of the transparent glass, looking very cool.
Pei Qian's first impression was that it was very mysterious!
He tasted it. The taste was very special and hard to describe. However, it left a deep impression.
"What is this wine called?" Pei Qian asked.
Zhang Yuan answered honestly, "Boss Pei, this is a type of Northern Lights cocktail. Ordinary Northern Lights cocktails only have a fluorescent effect in the dark. This one has a slightly modified formula and looks more natural. "
"Not bad. How much?" Pei Qian asked again.
Zhang Yuan: "50 yuan per cup."
Perhaps afraid that Pei Qian would find it expensive, Zhang Yuan hurriedly added, "There's grappa inside. A 700ml bottle costs 400 yuan. You'll have to use 30 ml for this glass."
"There's also a cheaper version where you can substitute vodka for grappa."
"Oh." Pei Qian nodded. "How much is the cheapest cocktail on the menu, then?"
Zhang Yuan thought about it and said, "The cheapest is … 25 RMB. That's the price of most bars."
That was the price of goods in 2010. It was not cheap.
A glass of wine was equivalent to two meals for many students.
Moreover, internet cafes and bars catered to different groups of customers.
"How is it, Boss Pei? Is this price acceptable? If you think it's too expensive, we can lower it a bit. "
Surrender?
Or rise?
If he lowered the price, the profit from a glass of wine would decrease. But what if other people came to drink because the wine here was cheap?
Wouldn't that be a disguised form of small profits but quick turnover?
I can't surrender!
Although the wine was not cheap now, Pei Qian thought about it and realized that there should be room for more!
Pei Qian made up his mind. "I'll add ten yuan for every glass! Our customers are all quality customers. If we lower the price, we'll be looking down on them! "
"Huh?" Zhang Yuan was confused.
"That's settled then. I'll add ten yuan for every glass of wine."
Pei Qian sipped his cocktail happily and continued playing games.
Zhang Yuan naturally did not ask much as he continued to work.
Pei Qian played for a while and was very satisfied.
He was not satisfied with the environment; he was satisfied with the expenses!
He did some calculations. After playing for two hours and drinking a cocktail, he had spent a total of eighty yuan.
This amount of money was enough for him to stay overnight in an ordinary internet cafe for a week!
That was enough to shut out the mainstream customers of internet cafes.
Of course, Pei Qian also knew that such high-end internet cafes would gradually become mainstream in six or seven years.
But that was alright. Wasn't it fine as long as it was not mainstream now?
What's more, even the internet cafes six or seven years later would not sell cocktails for sixty yuan a glass!
Lose money! Think about it after four or five years!
How great would that be!
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
Ma Yang walked over and asked, "Brother Qian, we're planning to open the day after tomorrow. What do you think about the opening ceremony, the opening bargains, and the like? I'm planning to charge half price for the first three days. What do you think of the discount? "
Half price for the first three days?
Half price for the drinks?
No, no, no, no, no!
Wouldn't it be great if they became famous?
Pei Qian shook his head furiously. "No, it's tacky! We're a high-end internet cafe, understand?
"We'll open as per normal and not do those weird things. Good wine needs no dark alley. With such a good environment, why would we be afraid of not having customers?
"Half price? What's the rush? We can't give people the feeling that we're a wet market! "
"Alright, we won't do that …" Ma Yang did not understand, but he knew that listening to Pei Qian was the right thing to do.
Pei Qian left Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, satisfied, and prepared to return on the opening day.
Pei Qian would only be completely at ease when he saw the internet cafe fail on the opening day!
…
…
March 9th …
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe officially opened!
There were no opening bargains, no fireworks, no banners, nothing!
Everything was normal.
There were no Chinese words on the front of the internet cafe to begin with. There was only a huge logo. Although it looked cool, it was not good for people to know that this was a place to surf the internet.
The good thing was that this two-story building had many walls. During the day, one could clearly see the coffee area and gaming area through the walls.
Even so, it was still a little too low-key.
Zhang Yuan waited at the bar counter. He was waiting for customers to arrive so that he could show off his skills in mixing drinks.
In the end, after waiting for a long time, a few groups of people walked past. At most, they poked their heads in to take a look. They did not even have the intention to enter.
The cold wind outside was very effective in dissuading people.
Pei Qian sat in the coffee area, sipping his coffee happily. Looking at the empty internet cafe, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider. Then, he tried his best to suppress it.
Ma Yang was not as calm as Pei Qian. Obviously, he could not sit still.
"Brother Qian, at least let them go out and distribute flyers …"
The 'them' referred to the newly hired internet cafe managers.
Although they were said to be internet cafe managers, they were actually doing many things. They were also serving tea and serving drinks.
Pei Qian had rejected all the bargains that Ma Yang had thought of previously.
Pei Qian's reason was that he had to be calm!
There was no point in doing those vulgar opening bargains in a cool place like ours!
The result was that the opening would be silent, and no one would show any interest in it.
Pei Qian calmly sipped his coffee and said, "Distribute flyers? What's the point of being cool? We have to let customers discover us by accident. That's what we call a surprise!
"Let customers discover us by accident …?"
