Chapter 117 I can’t control my employees, and I can’t control you
The first five million has been arranged, and the next thing to do is to prepare for the second plan.
E-sports team fan dilution plan.
Ruan Min'er has millions of fans, so it is not realistic for her to earn five million, but five hundred thousand a month is still within her reach if she tries hard.
The system rules show that the members who can be counted in the team include five players, two substitutes, and a coaching staff of no more than five people.
Ruan Miner's number of fans is just over one million now. After being diluted by these dozen people, the system bonus level can barely reach 500,000.
Of course, the premise is that these coaches and teammates are not famous people.
"No, I still have to go and check it. There can't be too many accidents." After Yang Ruoqian sent Yan Guang away, he was not so confident about Ruan Min'er forming a team.
When going on a business trip to Shancheng, one could roughly hear from the phone conversation between Ruan Min'er and her father that this girl should come from a fairly well-off family and run a small business that makes money.
Maybe this girl has inherited her father's talent and is born with the ability to run a team well? "Ruan Min'er should be in the training hall now... I'll go take a look."
After several days of preparation, Ruan Min'er has found a training ground for the team and has initially formulated a procurement plan.
Yang Ruoqian, who was originally relatively free, got to work immediately. He went downstairs, got in the car, and soon arrived at the training base chosen by Ruan Miner.
Ruan Min'er was waiting on the roadside early and waved at Yang Ruoqian vigorously.
"Boss Yang, this way!"
Yang Ruoqian parked the car, looked around, and frowned slightly.
There isn't much traffic, not many supporting facilities around, and the building where the training room is located looks quite old.
Is the environment too bad? Ruan Min'er can only form an Internet cafe team now. Most of the teammates she recruited have never seen the world and are used to spending nights in the Internet cafe eating instant noodles.
Therefore, no matter how difficult the environment is, it may not affect their competitive level.
Similarly, most of these "e-sports players" do not have very good self-control and can easily indulge in a comfortable life.
"Isn't the place you chose a bit too remote?" Yang Ruoqian looked unhappy. "Can I really concentrate on training in such an environment?"
Ruan Miner blinked habitually: "Boss Yang, don't you know the living environment of us before?"
It's not like I haven't been through middle school and high school, there's nothing I don't know...
Even if you don't know, you have heard it many times from parents and teachers.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present." Yang Ruoqian's face became more serious. "Look at the surrounding facilities. The team members have to order takeout when they want to eat. Is this healthy?"
"Esports is a physical activity, and your health is the most important thing."
"Look at this old, run-down building of yours. The soundproofing must be poor, right? Not to mention whether it will disturb others, you guys who play games can't avoid shouting, and you can't disturb others, right?"
"The competition is so tiring, and there is no entertainment or leisure place nearby. How can the players relax?"
"Besides, this place is so old. What if there's a power outage or the internet is down? What are you going to do? Just stare at each other?"
Ruan Miner listened to Mr. Yang's various theories and actually wanted to remind her boss that these people might not have enough self-control. If the training hall was really set up in that kind of place, what would they do if they tried their best to be lazy? However, she was just a game player after all. Wouldn't it be a bit rude to rashly point fingers at Mr. Yang who was always successful and seemed to be successful forever?
But she really didn't want to mess things up...
After all, playing in the highest domestic league and even appearing in the world competition has always been Ruan Min'er's biggest dream.
Now she finally has a chance to make a name for herself in the professional arena without having to stay in the company as a small anchor, and Ruan Min'er really cherishes it.
Ruan Min'er seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Unfortunately, Yang Ruoqian didn't give her a chance to object and directly made the decision: "This location is not good. If you want to choose, choose one near the downtown area. Just rent a shop in the Qianda Building opposite the company. This way it is close to the company headquarters and surrounded by good facilities. There is everything you need for eating, drinking and entertainment. If you get tired of eating outside, you can just cross the street and come to the employee cafeteria. How great."
“…”
Well, since the boss has made the decision, what else can I say as an employee? As for the idea of using the cost issue to persuade Mr. Yang, Ruan Miner would not even think about it.
It is somewhat humiliating to ask a boss for money when he spent an unknown amount of money to buy a heated swimming pool that is rarely used by his employees.
Ruan Min'er swallowed the words in her heart and said, "Then, Boss, you, you make the decision..."
…
More than 20 minutes later, the two arrived at an Internet cafe inside Qianda Plaza.
Yang Ruoqian stood at the entrance of the Internet cafe and looked at the restaurants and entertainment venues of all sizes in the shopping mall. He was very satisfied: "How about this, I will buy this Internet cafe and turn it into your training room, how about that?"
"Ah?" Ruan Min'er's eyes widened, "But, the rental cost..."
This is a shop?! It's a shop in a downtown shopping mall! Why is it converted into a training room instead of a business? "Don't worry about the rent, just play your video games... esports." Yang Ruoqian had too much monthly balance to spend, so he didn't care about it at all. "This internet cafe is not small, it's perfect for a training room."
"Let me talk about the plan, and you can see if there is anything you need to add."
"First of all, it's soundproofing. There are so many people outside, and the noise will affect your training, so the soundproofing equipment must be good."
"The second thing is the door lock. After all, we are in a shopping mall, surrounded by shops. It is inevitable that some passers-by or old customers of the Internet cafe will not know the situation and push the door open, affecting the training. So the door must be locked, otherwise it will definitely affect the training. Yes, in professional terms, it is called closed training."
As for the security issue, it is also easy to solve - the lock does not have to be a physical lock. You can also ask a door god to stand at the door of the Internet cafe to stop anyone who wants to enter the Internet cafe to provide business.
"Then there are places to relax, all of which are modeled after our company headquarters. There should be a bar, a board game table, a massage room... none of them can be missing. The hands and eyes of e-sports players are very important, and the massage chair is unlikely to be very effective, so it's best to assign a masseuse to each of you in the massage room."
"We also need to take the coaching situation into consideration. We must set up a separate room for the coaching staff and arrange all the professional stuff. I don't really understand this. After that, you can make a plan and directly ask the company for reimbursement."
"Also, many internet-addicted teenagers are different from you. They don't like to study, which is absolutely not allowed. After playing games, we must not forget to cultivate our sentiments and cannot completely abandon them. Therefore, I plan to set up a book corner. When you have nothing to do, you can take your teammates to read books and learn some other skills."
"After all, in the e-sports industry, there is too much internal competition among players. Although I believe you will succeed, we must also be prepared for a way out. As for you, I have arranged a public relations job for you after retirement, but what about your teammates? So for their future, we must let them study more."
"Finally, in order to maintain their competitive form and physical health, if your teammates have any habits such as smoking, drinking, chewing betel nuts, etc., they must quit."
After saying this, Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with his plan.
A group of Internet-addicted teenagers with only a few dollars in their pockets suddenly came to the world of entertainment and received high salaries with no responsibilities. Can they still focus on e-sports? Their interest suddenly became a tool to make money. How long can their enthusiasm last?
The bar, board games, massages, and so on are all right beside them, within reach, and there is no one to supervise them. Can they resist the temptation? Or how long can they resist?
If these temptations can't tempt the company's employees with strong self-control, can they also tempt a group of Internet-addicted teenagers? Forcing them to study and quit smoking and drinking, can the young and energetic people withstand such grievances?
Not everyone can have Ruan Min'er's self-control.
Ruan Min'er was standing by and was stunned when she heard this.
Is there anything else that needs to be added to this plan? ! In her opinion, there is really nothing that needs to be added to Mr. Yang's plan, because the entire plan is simply a mess, and it would not be troublesome to just start over.
Closed training? When did the definition of closed training become to lock trainees in a room with a bunch of entertainment equipment and then lock them out of the supervisor's sight?
Quit smoking, drinking and betel nut...
If they really have this perseverance and determination, why would they just be a lousy gamer?
There is also reading and studying. For those in the e-sports industry, if you can write your name in a square shape, you are considered an intellectual, and you still read books.
There were too many points to complain about, and Ruan Miner spent several seconds organizing her words but couldn't find a point of entry.
However, Yang Ruoqian did not give Ruan Miner too much time to think. Seeing that she did not say anything, Yang Ruoqian just took it as her consent.
"You agree, right? Then let's do this!"
After saying that, Yang Ruoqian walked into the Internet cafe.
At a glance, there are quite a few people in the Internet cafe, but the vacancy rate is also very high.
"Is this your first time here?" The network administrator looked up happily when he saw the two guests. "Are you interested in getting a membership card? It's free. You can get it for free with a first deposit of 300 or more!"
"No, we're not here to surf the Internet." Yang Ruoqian shook his head. "Give me the contact information of the owner of your Internet cafe. I want to buy this shop."
Hearing this, the joy on the network administrator's face instantly turned into surprise. He stood up and said in a tone of disbelief: "You, are you serious? You want to buy this shop?!"
"Ah, yes..." Yang Ruoqian didn't understand why the network administrator was suddenly so excited, so he could only nod, "What's the problem?"
"I'm the owner of this Internet cafe. Sir... Sir, please come in." The network manager didn't even care about the business. He stood up and said impatiently, "Let me tell you, my business is very profitable. If you take over... you will definitely make a profit!"
"Look at this location, look at the flow of people, and then look at the equipment in our Internet cafe. It's like a sack full of money!"
"As for our store, we have a lot of regular customers. You don't have to worry about the source of customers!"
"If I hadn't had some problems in my hometown recently and had to rush back there, I wouldn't be willing to sell this store."
Listening to the endless chatter of the Internet cafe owner and network administrator, even Ruan Min'er, a layman in business, almost rolled her eyes.
If it is really that profitable, just post the transfer information online and there will be a lot of people scrambling to buy it. How can you have trouble selling it?
If it's really as good as he said, then what's the point of hiring two network administrators for several thousand dollars a month? Why should I sit in such a noisy environment for several hours myself?
Isn't it for the purpose of reducing costs and increasing efficiency?
Opening an Internet cafe in such a shopping mall is a very unwise thing to do - as PCs are becoming increasingly popular in every household, the threshold for Internet access is getting lower and lower, and the cost is also getting lower and lower, and Internet cafes are gradually becoming a sunset industry.
Shops in shopping malls are very expensive and rental costs are high, so the hourly Internet fee is destined to be higher than elsewhere.
But what kind of customer group does the Internet cafe target?
People who occasionally hang out with friends to play games may not care much about the Internet fee for a few hours, but most people who often go to Internet cafes are eager to spend every penny, so how could they choose an Internet cafe built in a commercial center with a low cost performance ratio? If you want to go the high-end route, the cost and risk will be even greater - first of all, the environment must be good and the computer seats cannot be too crowded, which further amplifies the disadvantage of rental costs.
Secondly, if you go the high-end route, your computer configuration must be kept up to date at all times.
Processors, graphics cards, monitors, and other equipment all need to be updated every two years at most. A set of high-end equipment costs at least 15,000 yuan.
Old equipment can only be put on the second-hand market and sold slowly.
How many sets of equipment does an Internet cafe have?
How terrible is the cost? If the equipment is not updated, how can this Internet cafe be considered high-end and why would consumers buy it?
Besides, even if the Internet cafe owner gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to build a high-end Internet cafe, consumers may not necessarily buy it.
This Internet cafe named "Yutang Internet Cafe" is now facing such a dilemma.
That's why the Internet cafe owner is eager to have someone take over.
"Okay, okay, no need to say more." Yang Ruoqian interrupted the Internet cafe owner's enthusiastic introduction, "I will call my lawyer over later, and we will just go by the market price, whatever it is, okay?"
"Okay, okay, that's great!" The Internet cafe owner was overjoyed. He talked so much nonsense just to get the other party to not lower the price so much and let him lose less.
According to the market price, it is already a pleasant surprise.
"Okay, then wait a moment, we will sign the transfer contract in a moment."
…
Two days later, in front of Yutang Internet Cafe.
Several people dressed as students were talking and laughing.
"Let's play some games tonight. This internet cafe nearby is pretty good."
"OK……"
Just when a few people were about to enter the Internet cafe, the young lady standing at the door stopped them.
"Sir, I'm sorry, we don't provide Internet access here."
The leading boy glanced at the sign and asked in a strange tone, "Isn't this an Internet cafe?"
"Yes, this is Yutang Internet Cafe." The young lady still maintained a decent smile and answered the boy's questions patiently and gently.
The boy was silent for a moment: "Well, Internet cafes and internet bars are similar... So you are temporarily closed, are you upgrading your equipment?"
"No, sir." The lady said seriously, "We will no longer provide Internet service in the future."
"Uh, you guys, went out of business?" The boy looked at the girl, his tone even weirder, "You went out of business, and you even sent someone to notify you?"
“It’s not closed down, it’s just that it will no longer provide Internet services.”
"So, any Internet cafe that hasn't closed down will no longer provide Internet services, right?"
"Yes, do you have any questions?"
"If an Internet cafe doesn't provide Internet access, what other services can it provide?"
“No service is provided.”
"...Then can I get a refund for the internet fee I recharged earlier?"
"Sir, although our Internet cafe has not been renamed, it has been transferred, and the current owner is no longer the original owner." The young lady showed a regretful expression on her face.
"You mean you can't quit?" The boy pursed his lips, as if he was used to this kind of thing. He didn't insist any more and turned around to leave.
The young lady's regretful expression instantly turned back into a decent smile: "Sir, I mean you can return it."
Boy: “…”
…
The e-sports training hall is opening up in full swing, and the recruitment of personnel is entirely left to Ruan Miner.
Yang Ruoqian, who personally completed the initial construction, no longer worried about this team that was bound to fail. He returned to the company and took a leisurely walk around the office area.
Generally speaking, if a senior leader comes to inspect the company, the employees will definitely be trembling with fear and work hard to try to show themselves well in front of the leader.
However, in Kuiguang Company, everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of thing...
Work hard and show yourself?
Mr. Yang would only suddenly appear behind the employees, interrupt their work progress, and remind them that they were overusing their eyes and it was time to take a break.
The harder someone appears to be working, the more attention they will receive from Mr. Yang.
In order to avoid being forced to rest and affecting the work progress of the day, employees usually try their best to pretend to be slacking off when General Manager Yang is inspecting.
Yang Ruoqian looked at the employees' work attitude and nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly, he saw Yan Guang, with a haggard face, walking out from the toilet holding a brand new toilet plunger.
Oh, I almost forgot there is such a person in the company.
"How's it going?" Yang Ruoqian came over and casually said hello, "How's the video recording going?"
Hopefully it is still in the state of creating a new folder.
"It's almost done, it's almost done!" Yan Guang thought that his boss was not satisfied with his progress, so he shuddered and said repeatedly, "Boss Yang, don't worry, it will be done soon, and it will be finished soon!"
Having said that, he turned around again and rushed into the toilet.
Looking at the toilet plunger in his hand, his face was distorted, as if he was about to make a decision that would go against his ancestors.
