Time flew by and it was around seven o'clock in the morning on April 6th, after the Qingming Festival.

Hong Xin was holding Li Jiaxin together, standing on the eighth floor of Songshan Building, looking at the street-facing shops on the first floor opposite the main street. He was curious, anxious and expectant, and asked, "Sister Xin, is this Internet cafe really going to happen?"

The street-facing shops on the first floor of Wanjia Group include bookstores directly operated by Zhao, record and album retail stores, etc., and they are almost always going to East and Southeast Asia.

A few days ago, Ah Xin was suddenly told by Zhao Donghuai that he could rent a store on the first floor of Wanjia Chain Group and open an Internet cafe? Because he was his own person, Hong Xin rented the store for the whole process and purchased computers, tables, chairs, etc. in bulk?

These are all internal prices.

At this stage, Zhao Donghuai's laptop computer in the mainland is still under development and has not yet been released. This is the desktop computer purchased directly from IBM, and Wang Zuxian's furniture table and chair factory provides tables and chairs.

Recruiting Internet cafe practitioners and managers? It's too easy to just recruit a group of people from those who failed to apply for Wanjia or Baijia.

With the Zhao Group in charge, everything goes as smoothly as eating and drinking. Ah Xin is just curious and doubtful about whether the Internet cafe can be profitable and make money.

After all, computers are... very mysterious things. At least Ah Xin didn't know much about them before and rarely used them.

Li Jiaxin also rubbed her hands, "I'm not sure, but my Five Thousand Years Magazine has launched a group website, and there are also promotional links on the homepage navigation of the Songshan Portal Station. The magazines have followed the trend and hired computer professionals. People do it.”

"At this stage, apart from browsing news, sending and receiving emails, and visiting the Songshan Forum, there seems to be nothing interesting about surfing the Internet. At 10 Hong Kong dollars for an hour of Internet access, can you really make a lot of money?"

Ah Xin's trust in Zhao Donghuai is undoubtedly profound and profound.

She was sure she could make money by opening an Internet cafe, but she didn't know whether it would be a big profit or a small profit.

Today is the opening day of the first batch of Qinling Internet cafes, covering nearly 300 Wanjia supermarket chain stores in Haowan, Hong Kong. Each store faces the street on the first floor, and the internal space is not small. Each one has 80 units. 100 machines.

10 yuan an hour is almost as much as the price of a movie ticket.

Of course they don't know that the world's first Internet cafe opened in Yalun in 1994, and then in 1995, Internet cafes appeared in New York, Los Angeles, etc.

According to the current trajectory, this is the world's first Internet cafe chain store, which was born in Haowan, Hong Kong.

Originally, the two girls spent the night on the 33rd floor of the Songshan Building. Out of curiosity, they took the elevator to the eighth floor in order to have a closer look...

Time passed, and when eight o'clock arrived, a string of firecrackers sounded outside the Qinling Internet Cafe and various congratulatory flower baskets were placed outside the door, which soon attracted the attention of a large number of citizens.

After all, in the early morning, many citizens go to buy vegetables, rice and noodles to prepare for lunch. Although most of the people buying vegetables are middle-aged and elderly people, they are also curious and stop by to see what an Internet cafe is?

Just a few steps away.

Then, people entered the Qinling Internet Cafe one after another and were quickly shocked by the computers. In the past, except in movies and TV series, how could ordinary citizens have so many opportunities to see so many computers? Internet cafes are just for people to spend money to play on computers?

10 Hong Kong dollars an hour? Oh boy, it’s so expensive.

Such an expensive price will definitely dissuade a large number of people, but it is impossible to dissuade everyone. There are customers who are not short of money and time, just let them start... It is already 1993, and Qinling Internet Cafe implements Octopus to settle bills.

And the Internet cafe management system is directly online.

Those who sit down, know their stuff, and really like to play with computers will just click on the Songshan portal, browse the news, or log in to their mailbox to see if there are any emails, and then quickly go to the Songshan forum and check the bbs.

If you don’t understand, you should do it with the help of the network administrator.

A player looked at the game icon on his computer unexpectedly, "Is this the 1992 new Dune 2: The Founding of a Dynasty?"

The network administrator nodded, and the players quickly opened it and started playing with joy. This was only 1993, and most of them were still in the era of arcades and Nintendo video game consoles.

But in 1993, such as the establishment of Dune Dynasty, it began to show its charm and magic. It can be said that the Dune series also had a profound impact on the entire PC gaming industry, creating a series of rules for the real-time strategy genre.

Such as (Warcraft) (StarCraft) and so on, they basically follow many standards of the Dune series.

Build a base and develop various weapon systems. The Dune series is the originator.

In addition, there is also Civilization 1991, which was released in 1991, focusing on the establishment and exploration of empires, and also contributed a lot to the development of turn-based games.

Another example is NBA Jam 1993, a computer game that only came out this year. You can play basketball online on a computer... The Internet, the Internet, PC games in the Internet era, and TV and arcade games, the biggest difference is the Internet.

Can many players play, interact, and show off their wealth in one server?

…………

It's noon on the day.

When Ah Xin accidentally learned that the 80 computers in the branch opposite Wuyue Building in Kowloon Tong were almost 80% occupied, she was shocked and said, "In 4 hours, one machine sold for NT$40, and more than 60 machines made a profit

More than 2,500 yuan for Internet access?”

"At the end of the day, is it possible for a single store to earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars just from internet fees?"

"Even if we can't maintain 80% attendance rate all the time in the afternoon and evening, is there still a chance to sell thousands of dollars a day?"

This is still a store!

Ah Xin shook his head slightly because of Zhao Donghuai's weak attack, "You are thinking too much. This is a branch in Kowloon Tong. It has a high flow of people. It is like an Internet cafe opened in a new satellite village in the New Territories. It will definitely not be so strong, just over there in Bensheng.

A small city wouldn’t have such a strong attendance rate.”

Ah Xin took a long breath and said, "A store sells thousands of yuan a day. Forget it, it's calculated as a turnover of 5,000 yuan. I have nearly 300 branches, and the turnover is more than a million yuan a day?"

Today is April 6th, Tuesday, and the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday just passed yesterday. How much does this cost if it lasts for a year? What’s more, it’s only open in Haowan, Hong Kong.

Don’t forget that the Wanjia cinema chain is currently covering almost all of Taiwan, Korea and Singapore. Even if Thailand is dominated by Central Group and Lotus Supermarket, she feels that it is not too difficult to open a chain store there for Zhao Donghuai’s sake.

This is much more profitable than the low-end stockings factory she opened in the mainland.

At this time, Li Jiaxin also trembled and explained, "I found that the Internet era does have great conveniences and advantages. My Five Thousand Years Magazine actually received a lot of email applicants from Europe, the United States or the province."

"Once the email is sent, it is much faster than receiving international registered mail, envelopes, etc. before. Most of them only have text resumes, but you can also make phone calls and return visits to confirm."

Zhao Donghuai savored Ah Xin's conscience and added, "Don't worry, it will get better and better. After all, in the 1990s, the number of tourists visiting Hong Kong has become larger and larger."

"This year, the number of tourists is expected to exceed 100 million, and the tourist flow itself is the largest source of consumption."

At this stage, the tourist wave is hitting 100 million people. Naturally, there are more tourists from the mainland. In 1993, the first group of people to become rich are also increasing.

………………

In a large-scale funeral parlor in Wan Chai, there was an orderly chaos in the auditorium. Hundreds of people in black suits were fighting each other. It was super chaotic at first glance, but the trio of Wu Jing, Jin Chengwu and Zhang Yaoyang were the most capable and brightest.

Eye boy.

They can easily defeat ten of them here. Ordinary Dongxing and Hongxing soldiers are killed like melons and vegetables, and they rush to the street.

Chen Haonan, played by Jin Chengwu, could not defeat Zhang Yaoyang's crow in a head-on fight, but still chased him and fled. Zhang Yaoyang escaped from the funeral parlor and was caught up by Wu Jing.

On the set, Liu Weiqiang called out and prepared for the next scene.

The next game is one-on-one between Wu Jing and Zhang Yaoyang.

The individual practice after switching scenes still has to show the advantages and strengths of Hong Kong action movies as much as possible. Outside the set, Jack Ma said with a yearning look on his face, "Teacher Fan, if there are a few more fight scenes, Young and Dangerous 3 is about to be completed.

Bar?"

Jack Ma is the rebellious boy who was beaten by the crow at the beginning.

His role has been completed a long time ago, but isn't it better to stay on the set and learn more? This was his first time talking about acting skills. It took him a lot of time to get the hang of the initial moves and reciting lines.

After all, he is not an academic like Xiao Ma who has studied acting for two years, Jack is a pure wild boy.

Because his performance was not up to par at first, the scene was delayed a lot. It was originally scheduled to start filming on March 16...it was not until late March that his scene was completed.

During that process, Fan Wei, also a Hong Kong drifter from the mainland, gave Jack a lot of advice and help. Old Fan was two years older than Old Ma, and he was already familiar with titles such as Brother Fan and Teacher Fan.

Fan Wei guest-starred as the chief inspector of the anti-gangster group in Young and Dangerous 3. He often led the team to fight against people and maintained order. He appeared many times, whether it was Brother Crow flipping the table and making a fuss at the Changhong Auction in Hongxing.

, or the camel funeral, Fan Wei led the police team to appear to maintain order.

Da Tian Er and Pheasant beat the camel violently, and then the camel was killed. It was Fan Wei who captured Da Tian Er and Pheasant and persuaded them to cooperate with the police.

Fan Wei didn't receive much money for his guest appearance, a salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but 10,000 Hong Kong dollars was still a huge profit compared to what he made in his hometown and when he was living in Yangcheng.

His last film was for Tony Leung Ka-fai and Yuen Yong-yi. It was released together with Young and Dangerous 2 on March 18. Until now, with one opening weekend and two full weeks of release, (Young and Dangerous 2) is still booming, accumulating a total of 2500

Box office of more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island.

Even the one he starred in (Sister Love), the local box office has exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Again, Tony Leung Ka Fai is a big star now, and his comedy performance is also very good.

As a major supporting actor, Fan Wei also made his official debut, and his salary in "Sister Love" was HK$50,000. Mr. Lu recommended that he not only has resources, he can easily join the crew, and his salary is not too small to start with.

.

As he spoke, Lao Fan smiled and said, "The filming is about to be completed. We are so lucky to be able to guest star in such a hot and big project. Xiao Ma, let's have a nice drink after the filming is over. I will take you to find a new project together."

Starring in such a blockbuster movie is an important resume in itself.

No matter how you look at it, Lao Fan and Xiao Ma are just green leaves and supporting actors, and they are getting along. Isn’t this just friendship?

At this moment, a figure suddenly came up and said, "Lao Ma, Jack? There are people outside looking for you. It's Wu Yusen and that Ah Wei from TVB."

Lao Ma was startled, "Director Wu from the Better Tomorrow series? The original organizer of the Taiping Wheel project?"

The figure nodded, "Yes, it's that old street fighter. I didn't expect you to have such a relationship? Maybe he fell in love with you with a new project. Although the last year's (Blood on the Street) failed miserably at the box office, in fact, after watching the vcd

The disc seems to be well shot, it is an excellent work.”

Lao Ma was overjoyed, took Fan Wei's arm and walked outside, "Teacher Fan, please help me check later, if..."

Fan Wei also had a look of surprise on his face, "Okay, Xiaoma, I was talking about looking for a new project, and a project came to you automatically?"

A moment later, when the two saw Director Wu and Ah Wei outside the set, Old Wu also extended his hand enthusiastically, "Jack, I heard that you know Nicholas and Jim Carrey? Are they on good terms with each other?"

"I wrote a script, and I think it's pretty good. The theme is also grand. I'd like to ask someone to see if he's willing to star in it. Can you help me get in touch?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, this is just a small thing..."
