Unfortunately, there are no gambling machines now. I don’t know if there are any in the south. If there are, ask Zhang Shiqian to get a few over.
Wan Feng went up to the second floor.
The second floor has no partitions like the first floor, and is empty except for the radiator attached to the wall.
Wan Feng drew a line in the middle of the floor and said, "Build a partition wall here, then buy ten or twenty benches and put them here, and buy a VCR and a large color TV to play videos."
Xu Bin understood this. Several Jiangwei families also had high-end items like VCRs. Sometimes they would secretly play them at night, and no one knew what they were watching.
"You can do a semi-loop video. That means that no matter how long anyone watches in the morning, they'll be charged one dollar. If you can run two shows in the morning, that's 50 cents each. We guarantee a lot of people will watch. Do the same thing in the afternoon and evening."
"I think this is fine."
"But one thing is for sure, don't show pornographic films. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible."
"Know!"
Except for half of the second floor used as a video room, there is still half of the room left.
"The remaining half of the room will be used while I have someone bring you ten large game consoles from the south so you can open an arcade."
"What is a large-scale game console?"
Wan Feng didn't know how to explain it. "Large-scale game consoles are also called arcade machines. They're about the height of a person, with a screen and a base, and you play with coins."
"How much does that machine cost?"
"About 7,000 or 8,000."
In 1987, an arcade machine cost between 8,000 and 9,000 yuan, a baseboard cost between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan, and a good baseboard even sold for over 5,000 yuan.
Xu Bin was shocked. "That's so expensive! Can I make it back?"
Yes, the cost of buying a game console is a bit too high for Xu Bin.
If you do it yourself, you can save at least one-third of the money.
Although the vertical arcade machine looks as tall as a person, it is just an empty frame, a chassis made of wood or modular boards, with a display, a game board, some buttons, controllers, and a power supply inside, and nothing else.
The chassis can be made by yourself, buttons are available for sale, and the display can also be purchased. The only difficult part is the substrate.
You have to go to the south to buy this. They don’t sell it at the Wahou market.
They all came from Xianggang Taiwan.
In fact, the baseboard for making games is not complicated, and the chips used can be found on the streets. But writing it into a game is not something Wan Feng can do.
The computer industry is still an unfamiliar industry in China today. Not to mention how many people are proficient in it, not even many people know about it.
It costs about two to three thousand to buy a base plate, and about one thousand to buy a monitor. The other things are not worth much, about a hundred or eighty yuan. The cost of making a game console in this way is only about four thousand yuan, which can save more than three to four thousand yuan.
"I'll take care of the game console. Just clean up the house and I'll get it back for you. It'll probably cost around 4,000 yuan."
"Four thousand isn't enough! Can you make it back?"
"Don't underestimate the high cost. When people start playing, you'll realize how crazy and profitable it is."
In 1989 in the previous life, when the first game machines came out in Hongya County, they cost four coins for one yuan, and you had to queue up to play the games.
A game console can generate a profit of 60 to 70 yuan a day.
When the average worker's salary was over 100 yuan, it was astonishing enough that a machine could generate 60 or 70 yuan.
Of course Xu Bin had no idea of such a grand event.
"Now find someone to build a partition on the second floor. I'll send the billiard table tomorrow and have a carpenter make it. Then we'll buy a few sets of balls and set it up for fun."
Seeing Xu Bin's lack of confidence, Wan Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's right to listen to me. I'm always right in choosing the right business projects."
As a reborn person, if he can't even choose a small project to support his family, there is no need for him to live anymore.
"Xu Bin, you'll be twenty after this New Year, right?"
Xu Bin nodded.
"Do you have a partner?"
“They did.”
"What's the point of asking? Did you see it? Did you like it? Did you end up being a virgin?"
"Okay, but it hasn't started yet."
"Where are you from?"
"He's from a big shop, working in your garment factory."
Wan Feng had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Who suggested this to you?"
"Sister Feng."
I was wondering why I had a bad feeling in my heart, it felt like she was the one who did it.
What's wrong with this woman? Is she planning to change her career to become a matchmaker?
"Mrs. Feng said that the girl is quite honest and can endure hardships. She plans to promote her to team leader at the end of the year."
Wan Feng quickly stopped her: "She can't see shit, wait for me to go and see who it is. Your sister Feng's vision is not accurate, glass flower, don't trust her."
"Then how come she sees you so accurately?"
Xu Bin's next words almost made Wan Fengding fall over.
Yes! This question is a bit contradictory. You say that the other person's eyes are glassy, but he saw through you at first sight. How do you explain this?
Wan Feng was depressed.
Finally, I went to the third floor of Xu Bin’s house.
There are partitions on the third floor, with five or six rooms separated by them.
Xu Bin introduced which rooms belonged to his parents, which one belonged to him, and which one belonged to his sister, and emphasized that he designed them.
The design is decent, not great but not shabby either.
When I came out of Xu Bin's house, the sky was already blurry.
When Wan Feng returned home, his family was preparing to have dinner.
Wan Feng's sudden appearance caused the house to remain silent for three seconds.
Zhu Min hurriedly went to get the dishes and chopsticks.
