Chapter 107 Installed directly
The business hours of [Youlaiwan] are from 10 am to 10 pm.
Of course, as we all know, the so-called business hours and closing times are not fixed and can be postponed according to actual conditions.
At half past nine in the morning, Cheng Zhu had already arrived at the store.
To be precise, all four computer guys from Dormitory 309 were present.
Cheng Zhu distributed [Youlaiwan] vests to everyone. After putting on the vests, they became temporary staff members.
It’s not that Cheng Zhu asked them to come to work.
Come to think of it, he was quite worried that these three idiots would cause trouble for him.
The three of them asked Cheng Zhu to give them a job opportunity to intern at [Youlaiwan].
They didn't ask for any wages and even treated Cheng Zhu to a cup of milk tea.
There is no way. After the advertisement was posted on the forum of the Polytechnic University yesterday, the girls in the reply section were so active!
What's more, they had come to help out a few days ago. When they were busy in the store, there would always be female students passing by who would come in and ask, wanting to know when the store would officially open.
Therefore, they were very keenly aware of the true value of this store!
Go help out in Lao Cheng's shop! Stay in the shop and don't leave!
Anyway, don’t ask, I’m asking just for the sake of brotherhood!
Of course, Cheng Zhu must have hired formal employees.
This kind of claw machine store actually doesn't need too many staff, two or three people are enough.
Only one person has arrived today, a girl named Wang Wei.
Cheng Zhu gave everyone a key and said, "This key is used to open the glass door of the claw machine. If you see that the dolls in a machine are not in the right position and are difficult to grab, open it and rearrange it."
"Okay, I'll do the work, don't worry." Dong Dong was already ready to go.
"You're the one I'm most worried about." Cheng Zhu said unhappily.
Dong Dong: “???”
At 9:45, the four girls studying fashion design arrived.
Yao Yina came to dance for her idol's shop, and she was ready to dance hard on the dance machine.
Today, she had obviously dressed up specially, wearing a pair of black denim hip-hugging skirt pants, the kind that looked like a short skirt but was actually shorts.
It looks sexier from a distance, but can prevent exposure when dancing.
According to the previous agreement, she would dance in Cheng Zhu's store for three consecutive days, and Cheng Zhu would pay her a salary of 150 yuan a day.
This price is actually similar to the salary of the atmosphere group in Hangzhou bars.
Many parents let their children learn to dance in order to cultivate their manners and temperament.
But who would have thought that many girls ended up using this skill to work as the atmosphere creator in nightclubs.
For them, it is truly a happy life as they can have fun and earn money at the same time.
Yao Yina has been racking her brains to think of an outfit these days, and she has already chosen all her outfits for the next three days.
Wear denim skirt pants today, and wear black stockings to dance tomorrow!
As for Zhu Yingying and others, Cheng Zhu gave them thirty game coins each and asked them to work as babysitters in the store.
Anyway, the beauty power of girls like Zhu Yingying and Guan Jiayue is almost equal to 1.2 times that of Chen Tingting, the beauty of Class 2 of Computer Science.
Compared with a university of science and technology, she is indeed a little beauty.
And according to Cheng Zhu's expectations, the store's business would definitely be relatively poor in the morning, so some help would be needed.
"Most customers will probably come in the afternoon and evening. Business is probably best in the evening," Cheng Zhu thought.
But in fact, he still underestimated the enthusiasm of female college students for claw machine stores, and also underestimated the popularity that an Internet celebrity store could bring in the early stage in 2014 under the leadership of campus beauty goddesses!
[You Lai Wan] is very unique in all aspects, and the photos of Shen Qingning and Lin Lu have their own merits, which are so beautiful that a large number of girls with nothing to do want to catch up with the trend!
It’s not even ten o’clock yet, only nine fifty, and customers are already coming in.
By ten o'clock, there were already more than a dozen customers in the store.
Cheng Zhu's cell phone alarm rang at this moment. He didn't care what the guests would think of him. He clapped his hands vigorously and shouted, "It's the first day of the official opening of [Youlaiwan]! Come on, everyone! Get to work!"
Well, this damn sense of ritual!
But in reality, what he was thinking was: "60-day countdown to the store sale! Day one!"
It's really unique to think about selling a store right after it opens.
While others are thinking about how to make their store become an evergreen in the industry, Cheng Zhu is different. He only wants to make the quick money and then find a fool to take over.
By half past ten, there were already many guests in "Youlaiwan".
Cheng Zhu was sitting at the front desk, feeling a little overwhelmed.
People who want to buy coins are already queuing up, and some customers have even chosen to top up and apply for cards.
The exchange rate between [Youlaiwan]'s game coins and RMB is 1:1 if purchased normally.
Of course, this ratio is actually not important. Even if one dollar can be exchanged for 4 game coins, it will be useless if you can't catch the doll.
However, if you choose to apply for a card, there will be different levels of discounts depending on the recharge amount.
Cheng Zhu did not set the threshold for applying for the card very high; one can apply for the card with just 100 yuan.
At the same time, the membership cards were also made quite beautifully. When Lin Lu and Shen Qingning were asked to take demonstration photos, in addition to asking them to take photos holding the dolls, they were also asked to take the store’s membership cards and take photos at the door of the store.
He also doesn't know whether this mode of taking photos and checking in can be popularized. However, if it is popularized, it will definitely bring in a lot of money!
You know, issuing cards is an important way for stores to quickly make a profit!
What's more, some guests come in groups.
Four girls just came in, it seemed like all the people from the same dormitory came out in full force.
After a few discussions, they decided to use card games!
It is more cost-effective to buy coins this way, and you can also take turns holding the exquisite membership cards and take photos at the store entrance.
Its nature is a little bit like the group buying model of fake socialites.
But actually they are different.
However, this is exactly the effect Cheng Zhu wanted.
If you want to open an internet celebrity store, don’t just focus on being cool and set the threshold too high.
The goal is to satisfy the girls' photo-taking needs as much as possible and let them take beautiful photos, which will naturally be posted on major social platforms, which is equivalent to helping you promote for free.
At the same time, this will not put too much pressure on the wallets of our male compatriots. After all, there will be a lot of couples customers in this kind of claw machine store.
"Why should a man suffer as a man?" That's what Cheng Zhu thought anyway.
"Many businesses know that if a man and a woman come together, the man will not let the woman go home empty-handed for the sake of his reputation. He will at least catch one or two women, so they will set the machine to be very unscrupulous and set the probability to be extremely low."
"I don't care. I'm selling in bulk anyway."
"Win by relying on customer flow." Cheng Zhu had already thought of this.
As mentioned before, the success rate of the claw machines in his store is much higher than those in ordinary video game arcades.
By doing this, ordinary boys will feel that they are getting more value for money and their girlfriends can have fun too.
As for scumbag men, this can create a wonderful misunderstanding for them - it turns out that I am a master at catching dolls!
Yes, this store can be my holy place to pick up girls!
Don't disbelieve it, some scumbags will definitely bring different girls to [Youlaiwan] in a very short period of time to show themselves and please the girls.
"How can I not understand a scumbag?"
"If I don't make money from you little guys, whose money should I make?"
I provide you with the opportunity to show yourself, so of course you have to pay me, which is fair.
No way, no way, you don’t really think you are a master at catching dolls, do you?
By the afternoon, [Youlaiwan] felt a bit crowded.
There is no way, the customer retention rate is very high.
You see, since these are popular check-in spots, many girls will always go to those check-in spots to take photos after catching the dolls, right?
As a result, many customers will stay in the store longer.
Therefore, the store will always maintain an extremely popular scene!
Cheng Zhu glanced at his shop and found that among his three roommates, Dong Dong was the worst.
Just now, he took the initiative to help the two girls open the glass door of the claw machine, arranged the dolls inside, and put them in a better position to grab them.
This is indeed the task that Cheng Zhu ordered, but you are just trying to judge people by their appearance, right?
Pick the good-looking ones to help! Show your presence!
The girl smiled at him politely and said, "Thank you, handsome."
These four simple words can make every cell in his body feel excited and put a silly smile on his face.
As for Liu Feng, he is relatively pragmatic.
He is helping very seriously, and maybe he has selfish motives, but he is definitely not like Dong Dong who is completely selfish.
As for Zheng Qingfeng, his main character is still aloof.
When Dong Dong and Liu Feng go to place the dolls, they might even ask the girl with a smile: "Do you need help?"
This aloof fat old man really does things silently without saying a word.
As it happens, because he looks old by nature, many people call him "Boss!"
The rest of the shop assistants all look very young, except for him who looks like he is almost 40 years old. Many people instinctively mistakenly think that he is the boss and the others are just employees.
This forced Zheng Qingfeng, who was very frugal with words, to explain: "The boss is at the front desk."
A simple sentence often gets a response like, "Ah! Is that handsome guy the boss?"
"The boss is quite handsome!"
"Um. Does your boss have a girlfriend?"
This made Zheng Qingfeng gradually realize: "Even if we come to help, it seems that the girl has no chance with us."
First of all, you have to be handsome.
Otherwise, people will just treat you as an ordinary worker.
You're just a fucking waiter, and you still expect girls to add you on WeChat?
Damn this damn world that values appearance! When will people see treasure boys like us?
At this moment, Cheng Zhu has added 5 girls using his work WeChat account.
To be honest, one of them looks pretty good, and is at the same level as Yao Yina who is dancing.
But now in his eyes, these pretty girls are suitable tools for checking in and taking photos.
But you didn't even apply for a membership card, and you're just greedy for my body. That's a bit insincere!
"Wang Wei, come and take over for me." Cheng Zhu called the female employee to the front desk.
He had just been collecting money and then dispensing coins to the customers using the coin machine. Now his ears were filled with the sound of game coins falling, which never stopped. His ears were a little tired.
Cheng Zhu came outside the store, ready to take a breath and smoke a cigarette.
But there were so many girls taking photos in front of the store that he had to walk further away to smoke, so as to avoid his handsome self suddenly appearing in the camera and accidentally taking some amazing photos.
As luck would have it, the "elegant weirdo" Pei Yan, who was still wearing a white shirt, happened to pretend to pass by to observe the business of [You Lai Wan].
Wow, business is so booming that it’s affecting traffic!
There were so many girls taking pictures in front of the store. In order to avoid being photographed, I had to take a detour around them.
"At least a few thousand in sales for the day."
"We have just opened, so it is normal that business is better for the time being." Pei Yan thought.
He stood at the door of the store, craning his neck to look inside for a long time.
He didn’t see Shen Qingning and Lin Lu, nor did he see Cheng Zhu.
Last night, Pei Yan noticed the advertisement post in the school forum. Seeing that Chen Qingning, who had a cool temperament, actually helped him take photos for publicity, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Pei Yan was still thinking about whether he should contact the forum owner and ask him to delete his advertisement post.
Cheng Zhu, who was standing in a corner far away smoking, had noticed him a long time ago.
"This elegant freak has a slicked-back hair that shines brightly under the sun!" he said in his heart.
"Vice Chairman Pei!" Cheng Zhu, who was standing in the distance holding a cigarette, suddenly spoke, startling Pei Yan.
Pei Yan had no choice but to walk over and greet him: "Brother Cheng, nice to see you again."
"Come and play?" Cheng Zhu asked.
"No, I just happened to pass by. You know, the management of our student union is still very concerned about the entrepreneurial projects of ordinary college students." Pei Yan didn't want to spend money on him.
"Oh, I see. I was thinking of giving you a few coins." Upon hearing that he didn't want to play and was still talking in such a pretentious manner, Cheng Zhu immediately replied perfunctorily.
"No need to be so polite." Pei Yan could sense his insincerity, but after all, he was elegant and gentlemanly, so he said politely, "I think the business is good."
He continued, "We opened a small arcade outside the school before, and it was also a project that our student union management paid more attention to. If I remember correctly, the store had a turnover of more than 8,000 on the first day."
"Your store is smaller, but I see that in a day, you should be able to make a few thousand, right?"
Cheng Zhu looked at him and smiled.
He put out his cigarette on the trash can and said, "From this morning to this afternoon, the turnover is indeed only a few thousand. I just took a look before I came out, and it was only over 7,800."
"But after smoking a cigarette, I think it's over 8,000 yuan, so it's not bad!"
