Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

Standing at the entrance of Nandu Normal University, Wang Zheng felt a little envious as he looked at the youthful college students.

He was supposed to go to college last year. Although his academic performance was not very good, he could still go to school - Pheasant University was also a university.

Unfortunately, my family is too poor to raise the tuition fees.

After my grandfather left, there were no immediate relatives in the family. I finally finished my senior year in high school with great difficulty. I was unwilling to bow my head and ask for help. I didn’t fill out the application form at all, so I turned around and went to work odd jobs in the town.

Wang Zheng remembers this episode very clearly because his mentality was quite contradictory at that time.

I work very hard, but when I make enough money to eat, I go to the Internet cafe to play games.

He has no goals and no one to teach him.

Fortunately, my future self has taught me... which is quite contradictory.

Youth Internet cafe.

Just looking at this name, Wang Zheng felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, it wasn't his own, otherwise... I don't know why, but he just felt a little bit embarrassed to say it.

This is Chen Ran's store. At 8 o'clock in the morning, scattered students filed out.

Chen Ran was cleaning the house with two female students. Chen Ran was bending over and mopping the floor. With his movements, the murder weapon shook regularly, and his eyes were a little dizzy!

Seeing Wang Zheng come in, he immediately greeted with a smile: "Wang Zheng is here, I will finish it soon. You can sit down first."

The two girls looked up curiously and looked at Wang Zheng, then quickly lowered their heads and continued cleaning.

I randomly opened a client computer and looked at the configuration. It was pretty good and it was considered the mainstream at the moment. It was slightly inferior to Feiyang Internet City and it could still last for about two years.

There is a new host next to the bar, which is a server configured according to Wang Zheng's requirements. There is no computer room here, so the server is placed inside the bar.

I quickly connected the server line and started it smoothly.

Wang Zheng unplugged the power-on and restart cables from the chassis, fearing that someone here might accidentally press the wrong ones, which would cause some trouble.

Don’t worry about power outages, you can set it to automatically start when a call comes.

Wang Zheng has honestly installed the MS2003 system this time, and he really doesn't dare to use MS2008 anymore. After all, it is a version three years later. In case someone knows more about it, it is difficult to explain.

After the system is installed, Wang Zhengxin can easily adjust the lines to make soft routing, install the billing system server, game terminal, and Huorong Security. After all, he has done it once in Feiyang Internet City, and he is already very familiar with it.

Chen Ran had also finished cleaning, so Wang Zheng taught them to open the client computer and change to PXE mode. College students are not stupid, and they know some English, so they can get started much faster than Chen Xin.

Open the network engraving tool and start installing the system for the client. This time the system is packaged directly from the client of Feiyang Internet City. After the installation is completed, the client software does not need to be installed. It only needs to be debugged before it can be connected.

The server is up.

The 100M network is indeed very slow, and there is no reason to insist on upgrading it to Gigabit. This thing requires not only switches, computer network cards, network cables, etc., but all are indispensable.

The key is that these things are not cheap nowadays.

Then just wait.

As the saying goes, three women are equal to five hundred ducks, but it doesn't seem to apply to Chen Ran and the three of them.

The two female students were from the opposite school. They were doing work-study studies. They were relatively shy and kept their heads down while picking their fingers.

Maybe it’s because I’m too handsome! It makes them feel a little inferior and afraid to communicate with me.

Wang Zheng was a little sad.

Fortunately, Chen Ran did not feel inferior. She consulted a lot of opinions on the management of Internet cafes. In the end, the question returned to the original point: "Do I need to get an ID card?"

In this era, the concept of carrying ID cards with you has not yet been formed. Everyone knows that ID cards are very important, so they keep them at home for safe keeping.

Wang Zheng shook his head and said: "You must use your ID card to open a membership, which is the key to collecting data. However, after you open a membership, you can issue an IC or ID card to the customer and swipe the card directly on the machine, which will be much more convenient."

In fact, the cloud network billing system has already integrated this function when it was developed, but Wang Zheng never bothered to buy a suitable card reader. Card customization also takes time, so this matter was delayed.

Chen Ran asked a girl to borrow a meal card, handed it to Wang Zheng and asked, "Like a meal card?"

"That's right." Wang Zheng looked at it, handed it back, and said, "But this kind of card has a shortcoming. It recognizes the card but not the person. Customers must be allowed to set their own passwords and do not use the default password, otherwise they will be lost or lost.

Fraudulent fraud is very troublesome, so you have to consider this aspect yourself.”

After a minute of careful consideration, Chen Ran decided to use this form of card: "Students can keep their meal cards, but there is no reason why they can't keep their Internet cards. How do you sell this?"

"I'll go to the Electronic City and ask after the system is installed. If you want to customize the card surface, it may be a little more expensive." Customer needs should be met as much as possible: "Don't worry, I won't make money from you on this thing.

, free service.”

"Free things are usually more expensive!" Chen Ran replied honestly.

While chatting, the system was installed near noon. After testing the machines one by one and confirming that there were no problems, Wang Zheng withdrew.

Youth Internet Cafe still decided to use the recharge and giveaway activity method, and advertising banners are already being made. These are not the scope of Wang Zheng’s services, and he still has to go to the Electronic City.

There is an electronics city in Nandu City. There are counters inside, mainly selling mobile phones, computers and other electronic products. The mobile phone store on the first floor has a good business, but the installed market on the second floor is not so good, mainly because it is now equipped with a computer.

At easily five to six thousand yuan, few families would buy such an expensive "game console" for their children.

This situation will be much better by 2008. Installed machine parts are getting cheaper and cheaper, and the country has begun to vigorously promote informatization construction. The installed machine market has been very hot for several years.

Wang Zheng was interested in installing a computer of his own. After briefly asking about the price of the accessories, he thought it would be better to ask Chen Ran to help find a supplier in an Internet cafe, so he gave up.

After wandering around for a while, I reached the third floor and saw a shop specializing in all-in-one cards.

"Boss, how do you sell meal cards?"

The bald boss was playing games leisurely and said without looking back: "Customize one piece, white card 60 cents, starting price is 500 pieces. Card reader is 500 cents, no counter-offer."

It seems that this boss is not in the retail business and doesn't care much about the customers who come to his door. Wang Zheng called Chen Xin and Chen Ran respectively. Both of them thought it would be better to issue cards to customers, so under Wang Zheng's suggestion, they asked for a total of

I bought 3,000 cards, and I only need white cards.

Customized printing takes time, and it is better to use a white card on the spot. And if the guest has a meal card, he can also use the meal card directly.

After all, the recharge information is not stored in the card, the system only identifies the number in the card.

"Boss, three thousand white cards, three card readers, a total of two thousand seven. Do you want to sell them?"

"Fuck you, you're not bargaining, you're cutting people off!" The bald boss was stunned and stopped playing the game. He dropped the mouse and turned around. When he saw Wang Zheng, he was stunned and asked hesitantly: "Little
