Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 964 What is the core spirit of the Internet?

Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were stumped for a moment, and waited until Wang Ying returned to the bed before they began to whisper.

"Why did I feel that the eldest lady seemed a little unhappy just now?" Xie Qiao said cautiously.

Xu Lin curled his lips: "I think she thinks we are too loud and disturb her reading. Don't bother her. Miss has a bad temper. It needs to be cured. She has been with me for a long time. All her problems have been cured."

"It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. I have to prepare for the interview at the English Club tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll take a shower and go to bed too."

Xiao Qianxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and climbed to the upper bunk, but still held the Nokia phone in his hand. Perhaps he was too sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.

On the other side, Qin Hao was typing code in the dormitory.

Gao Feng stood behind him and watched for a long time: "Damn, Lao Qin, the class hasn't even started yet, and you can already write code?"

Shen Qing had just finished taking a shower. Upon hearing this, he came over and stared at it for a long time: "This is Python, right? Brother Hao, are you writing paid software?"

"I guess so. It's a charging system for Internet cafes." Qin Hao said casually without turning his head.

Cao Hexiang, who was lying on the bed, came over immediately after hearing this: "Brother Hao, how much did you pay for this job?"

"No money."

After hearing what Qin Hao said, Gao Feng and Shen Qing both breathed a sigh of relief: "We don't have money, but it's okay. It's good to have a project to practice."

When Cao Hexiang heard that there was no money, he immediately lost interest and complained: "Working for nothing, how boring."

Qin Hao shook his head: "Do you know what the most attractive and core spirit of the Internet is?"

Gao Feng and the other two looked at each other, then shook their heads blankly.

“It’s freedom and sharing.”

“The Internet is just a platform where people can express their opinions and ideas for anyone to see, and others can also express their opinions on any opinions and ideas. This is freedom.”

"Before the birth of the Internet, information could only be spread through fixed media such as books, television, and person-to-person communication. However, with the Internet, information is no longer isolated, but can be widely disseminated and shared. We are not only the recipients of information, but also the disseminators and creators of information."

"And what is the fastest way to spread information?"

Gao Feng and the other two shook their heads again. They were already confused by what Qin Hao said. It was as if the door to a new world had been opened. However, they found that the door was only open a crack and they could not squeeze in.

“It’s free!”

After saying that, Qin Hao no longer paid attention to the three people. If they could understand some of what he just said before graduating from college, it would be enough to benefit them for the rest of their lives.

The next day, when Gao Feng got up, he found Qin Hao still sitting in front of the computer typing code. He asked while yawning.

"Old Qin, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Qin Hao nodded: "Yeah."

"Fuck, you're really working hard for something that doesn't make any money. Is it worth it?" Gao Feng complained.

Qin Hao smiled. Is it worth it? His first pot of gold depends on this thing.

Soon, Shen Qing and Cao Hexiang also woke up. When they heard that Qin Hao had not slept all night, they thought he was a little crazy.

As the weekend finally came, Gao Feng and the other two made an appointment to go for a stroll around Peking University and Tsinghua University.

As a result, when they came back in the evening, Qin Hao was still typing code.

"Lao Qin, don't tell me that you didn't move at all all day and just sat here typing code all day."

Qin Hao gave the three people a meaningful expression, saying, "What a fuss! This is just the daily routine of programmers."

"Brother Hao, why don't you just forget it? It's not worth it if you keep going like this and ruin your health."

"That's right. You don't pay me, but you're asking me to pay you back. I don't order people around like that."

Shen Qing and Cao Hexiang both complained.

Qin Hao stretched and said, "Okay, it's almost done. I'll run a test and see."

After finishing the test, Qin Hao went to the cafeteria to eat something and fell asleep.

When they woke up, it was already Monday morning. Gao Feng and the other two were rushing to class, but Qin Hao just stuffed his laptop into his bag and walked towards the girls' dormitory.

"Hey, Lao Qin's classroom is over here."

"I know. If you have the conditions, please help me answer it later. If not, forget it."

Gao Feng's eyes widened: "No, Lao Qin, you're skipping class on the first day of school?"

"Yes, this is a compulsory course."

"You can choose to skip the required courses, and you must skip the elective courses. Welcome to the world of college students. Bye."

Gao Feng and the other two looked at Qin Hao's graceful back as he left, and for a moment they almost forgot about the class time.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Lao Qin is more mature than us. Compared with him, I feel like a junior high school student." Shen Qing smacked his lips.

"Fuck, I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but it turns out you feel the same way." Cao Hexiang cursed.

"Stop chatting, it's time for class. We're going to be late if we don't hurry up."

Gao Feng and the other two arrived at the classroom in a hurry, and as expected, they were all late. When it was time to call the roll, Gao Feng answered for Qin Hao with a pinched voice, feeling nervous, only to find that the teacher had let the name pass without even looking at it.

"Fuck, Lao Qin is not lying to me."

At the same time, Qin Hao had already arrived outside the girls' dormitory area and called Xiao Qianxi, but Xiao Qianxi did not answer the call. Instead, she opened the balcony window and waved at Qin Hao.

"I'll be down right away."

Qin Hao laughed a lot. This girl really knew how to save him money. She was even reluctant to answer the phone.

In the dormitory, Xiao Qianxi picked up her small bag and walked to the dressing table to look at herself, then fixed her hair and asked Xie Qiao and Xu Lin.

"How's it going? Is it okay?"

Xie Qiao gave a thumbs up: "Very beautiful, no problem, she will definitely charm him to death."

"Well, Qianxi's face and figure are good enough to be a star." Xu Lin also gave full affirmation.

Wang Ying had actually woken up a long time ago, but she kept pretending to be asleep until Xiao Qianxi's footsteps gradually faded away, and then she sat up from the bed.

Wang Ying got out of bed and went to the balcony as if possessed by a ghost. She watched Xiao Qianxi walking towards Qin Hao with brisk steps and a smile on her face, and suddenly an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

This made Wang Ying alert.

"What the hell? Don't let your imagination run wild. You'll get nowhere."

But the next moment, a sentence Xie Qiao said that day rang in his mind again.

"If something as beautiful as love is not worth our expectation of a low-probability event, then what is the meaning of this world?"

It seems that what Xie Qiao said makes some sense.

Wang Ying hit her head and said to herself, "Wang Ying, don't be infected by that love-brain. You are different from her!"

Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at Wang Ying's inexplicable behavior and whispered to each other.

"What's wrong with you, Miss? Why are you hurting yourself out of nowhere?"

"Could it be that he was possessed by evil spirits? Or did he eat poisonous mushrooms that day and fail to wash his stomach thoroughly?"

On the other side, Xiao Qianxi walked side by side with Qin Hao with brisk steps.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "You didn't even ask where you were going. Aren't you afraid that I would sell you out?"

"It's just right to sell it. I also want to see how much I'm worth." Xiao Qianxi smiled, her brows full of girlish smartness.

"Then I won't sell it for now. It's too thin. I need to fatten it up before I sell it."

"Humph, you are the pig, sell by the pound."

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they left the school. Qin Hao then told Xiao Qianxi about his plan.

"Not selling anything today?" Xiao Qianxi felt that she could not keep up with Qin Hao's thinking.

Qin Hao patted the backpack behind him and said, "Sell it, but I won't charge you for it."

"You're not charging any money, are you planning to do charity?"

“Free is the most expensive.”

Afterwards, Qin Hao took Xiao Qianxi to a commercial street near the school.

In 2001, the total number of Internet cafes was not large, but they had already grown to a certain scale in Peking University and Tsinghua University. Here we have to mention a person named Wang Yuesheng.

This man is also a ruthless person. In 1997, he came to Beijing with more than 80 yuan. At that time, Wang Yuesheng spent two months in Beijing. He walked from Sitong Bridge to Peking University and Tsinghua University every day, looking around. Finally, when there were only two Internet cafes in Beijing at that time, he decided to open his own Internet cafe.

And he was not just doing it for a small business. He rented a 120-square-meter house and bought 25 computers at once. All of them were free for the first three days of opening. Within three days, the Internet cafe was packed with people. On the fourth day, the Internet cafe started charging, and the standard charge at that time was 3 yuan per hour. After waiting for a whole day, only seven or eight customers came to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet. After a month, on average, there were only seven or eight customers per day.

Wang Yuesheng saw that not many people came to the Internet cafe, so he simply provided free Internet access and free Internet knowledge training from 7:00 to 9:00 every morning. Without customers, he had to cultivate himself!

So by 2001, Wang Yuesheng's Feiyu Internet Cafe had opened 18 branches, with a total business area of ​​more than 1 square meters, and was known as the "Feiyu Internet Cafe Street."

Qin Hao brought Xiao Qianxi to Feiyu Internet Cafe.

As the largest Internet cafe near Peking University and Tsinghua University, if Feiyu Internet Cafe can be taken over, it will undoubtedly have a huge brand effect for the promotion of Qin Hao's Internet cafe management software. Then when I go to other Internet cafes to promote my software, once I say that Feiyu Internet Cafe also uses my software, it will be more real than Qin Hao saying ten thousand good words.

Although Feiyu Internet Cafe is not small in scale, it is not much different from most of the current illegal Internet cafes. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong smell of cigarettes mixed with sweat and foot odor. Xiao Qianxi immediately covered his nose and frowned slightly.

Qin Hao took a quick look and found that there were not too many customers in the Internet cafe, and about two-thirds of the seats were empty.

Seeing Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi come in, the store manager was not very enthusiastic and just asked casually, "Are you surfing the Internet?"

"I'm looking for your boss, Wang Yuesheng."

The store manager looked at Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi suspiciously, but since Qin Hao could mention Wang Yuesheng's name, he did not dare to neglect him and quickly said, "What do you want to see my boss for? He is not usually here."

"Call your boss and tell him I have a deal that could make him tens of millions."

If it were before, Xiao Qianxi would definitely think that Qin Hao was fooling the store manager by saying he could make tens of millions, but with the experience of making 80,000 in two days last time, in Xiao Qianxi's opinion, making tens of millions did not seem impossible.

When the store manager heard that two students wanted to negotiate a deal worth tens of millions with his boss, his first reaction was that they were scammers. However, when he saw that Qin Hao was calm and composed when he said this, he didn't think so.

After hesitating for a while, the store manager dialed Wang Yuesheng's number.

At this time, Wang Yuesheng was still sleeping. He was a little annoyed when he was woken up: "Who is it?"

"My boss is Xiao Li, this is it."

At first, when he heard Manager Li say that two students came to him to discuss a business worth tens of millions, he thought they were scammers. However, when the manager handed the microphone to Qin Hao and the two chatted for a few words, Wang Yuesheng immediately jumped off the bed.

"Wait for me, little brother. Twenty minutes, I'll be there in less than fifteen minutes."

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Yuesheng rushed to the Internet cafe. The manager saw that he had his socks on the wrong way, the left one was red and the right one was brown.

"Little brother, the membership recharge gift plan you just mentioned on the phone is quite interesting. Can you tell me in detail?"

After Wang Yuesheng invited Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi to sit down, he couldn't wait to speak.

"It's actually very simple. The membership recharge gift activity can bind customers to Feiyu Internet Cafe to form long-term fixed consumption. On the other hand, it can help you, Boss Wang, obtain a large amount of working capital. With this working capital, you can completely develop in a fission-like manner and use the money recharged by old Internet cafe members to expand rapidly."

"My suggestion is to cancel temporary Internet access and implement unified membership management. At the same time, increase the Internet fee by one yuan, but offer a 100 yuan gift for a 50 yuan top-up. In reality, it is only an 8% discount on the original basis, but a large amount of working capital can be obtained."

"To put it bluntly, Internet cafes are a business of renting computers. The more stores there are, the longer the computers are rented out, and the more money you make."

The more Wang Yuesheng listened, the more he thought this plan was feasible. He now owns 18 Internet cafes, and the money he makes every month is already very considerable. If he can double or even ten times that, it seems that earning tens of millions is not a pipe dream.

Qin Hao did not forget the purpose of this trip. He turned on his laptop and began to demonstrate his Internet cafe management software.

"Boss Wang, this is a management software I designed specifically for Internet cafes. Your Internet cafes currently use physical recharge cards, and customers have to bring the physical cards with them every time they come to the Internet. My software can directly record the customer's identity information in it. Customers only need to enter their ID card and password to go online directly."

"And I have also designed a customer call service here. Customers can call the network administrator directly in the management software, so as not to interfere with other customers' Internet access."

Afterwards, Qin Hao demonstrated other functions of the Internet cafe management software to Wang Yuesheng.

Wang Yuesheng nodded repeatedly but didn't make a decision.

Only after Qin Hao finished his demonstration did Wang Yuesheng stop smiling.

"Xiao Qin, your membership recharge plan is indeed very good, and your Internet cafe management software is also well made, with very complete functions. But let's be honest, how much do you plan to sell your software for?"

Qin Hao was happy. So he was worried that the price was too high?

"for free."

"What? How much?" Wang Yuesheng thought he had heard it wrong.

“No money, it’s free.”

"Is there such a good thing? Brother, you are not going to give it to me for free first and then ask me to pay for it later, right?"

Although Wang Yuesheng ran an Internet cafe, he was ultimately a business owner and had no idea what Internet thinking was. Moreover, in 2001, there were only a few people in China who truly had Internet thinking.

"Please rest assured, Boss Wang, we can sign a contract in black and white. My Internet cafe management software will be free forever, and I will never charge you a penny extra."

"Okay, as long as it's free, all my Internet cafes, including those I'll open in the future, will use your management software." (End of this chapter)
