The arcade shops were two shops auctioned off by Factory 794.

They say it's two shops, but it's actually two small buildings.

Both buildings are three-story structures. One of them is adjacent to the street, which will become the widest street in Makino City in the future. The city government is located on the opposite side of the street.

The other building is located behind this one, parallel to the building along the street.

The two buildings, covering an area of ​​approximately 6,000 square meters, were acquired by Lin Yifeng for 300,000 yuan, making a substantial profit.

Of course, this is a view of these two buildings from a hindsight perspective.

In 1992, acquiring these two buildings for 300,000 was actually a huge loss.

These two buildings would be more suitable for the suburbs, or rather, the countryside, of Makino City.

This place is located in the eastern part of Makino City, further east than Hebei Vocational University and Central Plains Normal University.

As Makino City continues to expand eastward, this area will become a new urban area of ​​Makino City.

But now, this is the countryside.

Three hundred thousand yuan could buy a larger plot of land and buildings in the countryside than the 794 Factory.

"Arcade machines, arrange them neatly. The spacing between them, both horizontally and vertically, is all set. Don't put them up haphazardly!"

"Ten or so people, and you can't even set up a simple bar counter in a whole morning? Hurry up and get it done, you're not allowed to leave until it's finished!"

"Keep the power lines down here, not up there, or people will trip over them!"

"The employees we're recruiting and training are going to start operating the arcade machines for me, to become proficient at them!"

Lin Yifeng directed the process step by step. He designated the ground floor of the shop closest to the street as an arcade and had the sign for "Dragon Arcade" hung up.

Lin Yifeng plans to open a Mixue Ice Cream shop and a Wallace shop on the second floor.

As for the third floor, Lin Yifeng plans to turn it into a prestigious VIP suite.

Lin Yifeng got arcade games and console games from Yang Biaozi!

Console games require a color TV to play.

Lin Yifeng planned to turn the third floor of the shop into a series of small private rooms. These rooms would be decorated a little better, with a TV set inside, along with the game consoles he had acquired.

kindness.

This thing is equivalent to the "console game experience center" of later generations.

It focuses on the high-end market.

"In the future, we could also build something like a private cinema, with the main feature being a private room where one or two people can enjoy watching the movie."

Lin Yifeng turned almost the entire third floor into VIP rooms, with some for playing games and others for watching movies.

This year is 1992. Next year, to be precise, in September 1993, the world's first VCD player will be born.

With the advent of VCDs, optical discs will follow, and a large number of movies from Hong Kong will be made into optical discs and enter the mainland.

Watching movies on TV using VCD players will become a popular trend in the future.

Lin Yifeng planned to place some VCD players on the third floor after VCDs were invented, creating a "high-end" selling point alongside console games to cater to wealthy consumers.

Just like private cinemas in later times...

Of course, Lin Yifeng doesn't touch anything shady.

Therefore, his "private cinema" and "console game experience center" do not offer game companion services.

If you want to do something in the private room, you can bring your own girls; I don't provide girls.

There were so many ways to make money in the 1990s that Lin Yifeng wouldn't touch the gray areas and cause trouble for his future self.

......

The arcade was ready in just one morning.

The bar counter was built by more than a dozen bricklayers working overtime. Although it was rough and not very attractive, it was still a bit rough.

But at least it functions; everyone knows it's a bar.

When he has time later, Lin Yifeng can find a few craftsmen to use marble or ceramic tiles to cover it.

Five large characters, written in a flamboyant style, hang on the beam outside the shop.

Dragon Arcade.

The lettering is gilded gold; Lin Yifeng had it custom-made after discussing the matter with Ye Wuzheng.

The first floor of the shop is filled with arcade games with bells jingling everywhere.

Lin Yifeng divided the arcade into three main areas based on the types and styles of games.

The first area is fighting games, such as Street Fighter II.

The second area is side-scrolling adventure games, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The third area is shooting games, such as Four Nations Fighter and Contra.

The three zones provide a simple distinction between the arcade games, allowing players entering the arcade to easily find a game that suits them or that they like.

As for the most profitable slot machines in arcades...

Lin Yifeng didn't put it down.

Slot machines are essentially gambling machines, and these were common in many arcades in my previous life.

Slot machines are the most profitable machines in arcades, bar none.

But Lin Yifeng really wasn't short of money, and to avoid risks, he was determined not to put up slot machines.

The arcade has more than sixty machines, which are arranged in three large halls. Next to each machine, there are two stools.

Each arcade machine is three meters apart, which is enough to attract a large crowd to watch.

As everyone in later generations knows, traffic equals money.

The world is actually the same. If there are a lot of people in your arcade, even if you don't want to play, won't you still feel the urge to play?

Since there are more of you, do you want to buy some food and drinks?

If even 20% of people are willing to go upstairs to buy Mixue Ice Cream drinks and Wallace snacks, that would be a considerable income.
