To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 384 Artist's Hand-Painted Telephone Booth

October 1th, Sunday.

A slightly strange-looking phone booth was erected on the top floor of Huanyu Paradise Shopping Mall.

This floor is mainly a movie theater, and there are also some claw machines, milk tea shops and so on.

This slightly odd phone booth stands next to the wall on the way to the movie theater, and it is easy to see after going up the escalator.

The phone booth is surrounded by transparent glass, which has a good sound insulation effect, and there is a special vent on the top to ensure that you will not feel bored if you stay in it for an hour or two.

On the outer side of the phone booth, the metal frames on both sides of the glass are wider than other places, which seems to be a deliberately blank effect.

This is what Zhang Wang expected to leave to the artist.

As for the other two sides, the left side is relatively full of technological sense. Through the glass, you can see an electronic display screen with a poster on it.

The side on the right is deliberately decorated in a relatively telephone booth style, and the retro-shaped telephone inside can be seen through the glass.

In addition, through the glass, you can also see some things on the desktop inside, such as the water dispenser, wifi, three-port charger, bookshelf, etc. on the desktop.

Because they are not yet fully prepared, the planned jukeboxes, drink machines, etc. have not had time to move in yet.

Soon, many people gathered around.

"what is this?"

"Last time I came here, it didn't seem to be there yet."

"Isn't it written on this billboard that the advertising space of the shared phone booth is inviting investment."

"Pfft, what is it, a shared phone booth?"

"Hahaha, I died from laughing, such a sand sculpture project, hurry up and take a group photo!"

Soon, many people who came to Huanyu Paradise Street to shop took pictures outside the phone booth, and posted pictures in Moments to complain.

There are also many people trying to explore what this phone booth can do.

This is the first and only shared phone booth in Jingzhou. It is the first "prototype" that Zhang Huang has been working on in his hometown workshop in the past few days.

The first batch of products ordered from the manufacturer have not yet been delivered. In order to see the effect of this shared phone booth more quickly, Zhang Wang decided to bring the "prototype" he made here to test the waters first.

During the moving process, I found a moving company, and the installation was quite convenient, and it was completed in just over an hour.

Huanyu Paradise Street is one of the core business districts in Jingzhou City, and the flow of people can definitely be guaranteed. This is also an experiment to see if everyone can accept this new thing.

Soon, a couple took out their mobile phones and scanned the QR code on the door of the phone booth.

"Fuck, so expensive?" The boy was a little confused.

After scanning the code, a rather simple page appeared on it, which was obviously made on a temporary basis. There is a charging standard for this shared phone booth:

All items in the phone booth are bundled and charged every 15 minutes, 15 yuan per 10 minutes.

This is the price of one hour of surfing the Internet at Moyu Internet Cafe.

You can use your social account or mobile phone number to quickly log in, but you must pay first, because the shared phone booth does not take into account the user's deposit.

After payment, the door of the phone booth will automatically open. After the user enters the phone booth and closes the door, the charging port, wifi, etc. inside will be powered on and can be used normally, and the timing will start.

After the time is up, if the customer has no time to renew, the equipment in the phone booth will automatically power off and cannot be used anymore.

The customer leaves the phone booth and closes the door, and the door is automatically locked when no one is detected in the phone booth.

It can be said that the initial functions are very crude, but the basic functions of the shared phone booth are barely completed, and the process of using it is not very convenient.

Moreover, there are many loopholes that can be exploited. For example, if some people insist on not leaving, they can always sit in it and have free hot water-as long as they are thick-skinned.

Not only that, but a large number of items are missing, such as beverage machines, jukeboxes, AEDs, scales, etc., which are not there yet.

The beverage machine is because the problem of using it cannot be solved for the time being. If customers are allowed to refill their cups indefinitely, they will definitely lose money. However, if each user is limited to only two free cups, a special beverage machine must be purchased. Can be replaced by free hot water;

The jukebox needs to discuss cooperation with some singing apps, and the equipment also needs to be purchased in a unified manner;

As for the AED, it also needs to be purchased and cannot be delivered in a short time.

However, Zhang Wang believes that this is a research and development project after all, and it can be gradually improved and improved in the future.

Put the ground on the ground first, get acquainted with everyone, these various functions, and then slowly stuff them in later.

The first couple who tried to scan the code hesitated outside the shared phone booth, then left without paying to enter.

The main reason is that I don't feel that I just need to enter here, and the price is a bit expensive.

Compared with this narrow and cramped glass box, they would rather find a coffee shop or dessert shop, spend money to buy two drinks and sit and rest.

There are quite a lot of people taking pictures around the phone booth, but none of them actually scan the QR code to pay.

After taking a few photos, a lot of people who had gathered to watch the excitement dispersed. Some of them went to the nearby milk tea shop to buy drinks, and some walked into the cinema.

At this time, another couple came to the shared phone booth.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the phone: "Hey, that phone looks great, hurry up, I'm going to scan the code to get in, take a picture for me!"

The girl simply scanned the QR code to enter, stood in the phone booth, picked up the hanging retro phone, and posed a few poses.

The boy held up his mobile phone reluctantly but helplessly outside, taking pictures with a "click".

"Okay, it's over."

The boys also entered the phone booth and showed the girls the photos on their phones.

"Well... your photography skills still need to be improved, forget it, let's leave it at that."

The girl accepted these photos reluctantly, and then turned her attention to the inside of the shared phone booth.

It looks a little crude, but it still looks very strong.

"There are best-selling novels and comics on the bookshelf, free paper cups, free hot water..."

The girl looked around all the items, and was silent for a moment: "I spent ten yuan for the co-author, just posing for a few photos, sitting and resting for a while, and drinking two cups of hot water... blood loss."

The boy silently picked up a comic from the bookshelf: "Take it as an IQ tax."

Girl: "...Are you saying that my IQ is not good?"

……

Diagonally opposite the shared phone booth, in a dessert shop.

Zhang Huang and He Desheng were drinking their drinks while keeping an eye on the movement at the shared phone booth.

"Three hours have passed since the mall opened in the morning."

"It caused a lot of people to watch, but the only one who really paid was the girl who posed for the photo."

He Desheng sighed softly: "So I suggested you before, don't worry, wait until all the functions of the shared phone booth are completed, and the art design is also in place, before moving to the big shopping mall."

"If you move a semi-finished product in this way, it's strange that users will buy it."

"After all, it seems that the price/performance ratio of this phone booth is too bad. After entering, you can only sit and read comics, drink some free hot water, and it costs 15 yuan for 10 minutes, and 40 yuan for an hour. That’s enough to spend four hours surfing the Internet at Moyu Internet Cafe.”

"The most critical drink machines, jukeboxes, etc., are not there yet."

Zhang Huan looked firmly: "It doesn't matter. After all the supporting equipment of the shared phone booth is installed, everyone will understand the price."

"So... what's going on with the artist, I'm more concerned about this."

He Desheng shook his head: "I inquired, but I couldn't find a suitable one. After all, Jingzhou is not like a city like the capital of the imperial capital, where there are so many big bulls..."

"However, I think Boss Pei should have a solution. After all, Tengda's main business is making games, so I can definitely contact some well-known painters."

"But... we've almost spent our budget, and asking Mr. Pei to pay for an artist will arouse Mr. Pei's disgust..."

Zhang Huang said firmly: "Then I'll tell Mr. Pei! I believe Mr. Pei will understand."

He Desheng was silent for a moment: "Well, yes, you just need to tell Mr. Pei the ultimate form of the phone booth in the plan, and I believe Mr. Pei will understand."

Zhang Huang shook his head: "That won't work, I'm an honest person, and I must report truthfully what the project looks like now."

"Boss Pei trusts me so much, how could I fool him!"

"I believe Mr. Pei will appreciate my honesty!"

"I appreciate your honesty...what a naive idea." He Desheng raised his forehead, "Okay. If you were in Fuhui Capital, you will definitely not get paid for your appearance."

"But Mr. Pei has always had a discerning eye, so maybe he'll make an exception..."

He Desheng originally wanted to give Zhang Huang some advice, but then he thought about it, what qualifications do he have to give advice...

I haven't even learned one ten-thousandth of Mr. Pei's investment method, but Zhang Huang has already made a project that Mr. Pei approves of.

whatever, don't care about this...

He Desheng changed the subject: "The manufacturers responsible for the production of telephone booths, karaoke APP, beverage machine manufacturers, etc. have already replied to me. It should not be a big problem once the money is in place. The first batch of AED defibrillators are already on the way. gone."

Zhang Huan nodded: "Besides, this APP needs to be improved."

"In short, when the artist is in place and the purchased items arrive, we can announce that the shared phone booth has officially started operation!"

"I'll call President Pei first."

Zhang Huang took out his phone and called Mr. Pei.

Then, with a calm tone, he reported the current situation of the phone booth in detail.

……

On the other side of the phone, Pei Qian broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that Zhang Huang had opened the phone booth in the mall.

But immediately, he was relieved a lot.

According to Zhang Huang, he modified the structure of the phone booth, made it bigger, and put it in a shopping mall.

It's just that so far, he has posed all morning, and only one girl scanned the QR code to pose for a photo, earning 15 yuan.

The initial investment of this telephone booth is about 4 yuan, and the rent of the venue alone costs nearly 1000 yuan a month.

Of course, Zhang Huang also briefly mentioned, saying that he is "working hard to improve the consumption experience of customers, and I believe it will bear fruit soon."

In the end, Zhang Wang finally got to the point. I hope Mr. Pei can help find an artist to paint on the front of the shared phone booth, adding a little artistic atmosphere to the phone booth.

Hearing this, Pei Qian found that the prospect of sharing phone booths is even better than he imagined!

According to Pei Qian's original idea of ​​investing less than 1 yuan and placing it on the side of the road, this phone booth will lose more than [-] yuan at most if it is put on for half a year.

In the end, it will be dismantled and sold for scrap iron and glass, and maybe the cost can be recovered.

But according to the current way of doing it, if you put it on for half a year, you can definitely lose about [-] yuan!

One phone booth lost so much, what if it cost a hundred?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt refreshed, and almost made a decision to directly allocate 500 million to Zhang Huang, asking him to build a hundred phone booths, which is amazing!

But after thinking about it again, reason defeated emotion again.

What Zhang Wang said, "I am working hard to improve the customer's consumption experience, I believe it will be effective soon", although it sounds like a polite statement, a perfunctory word to cheat money from the leader, it is very unbelievable, but Pei Qian always I feel uneasy.

Because quite a few of his employees have said similar things, and nearly all of them have delivered...

Thinking of this, Pei Qian resolutely controlled the devil in his heart, and felt that he still couldn't trust the employees' one-sided words.

"You take a photo of the current shared phone booth and send it to me."

Moments later, the photo arrived.

Pei Qian took a look and found that the phone booth looked big, but it was very simple when you looked closely.

Moreover, there is only a table, two folding chairs that can be folded to the wall, a few lonely books on the bookshelf, and a drinking fountain that looks rather simple.

A few people were watching, but apparently none of them were interested in entering.

Don't lie to me, it's so deserted.

Sure enough, I saw the right person, such an honest employee is rare!

Pei Qian was very happy. Since he said he wanted an artist, he must find a way to satisfy him!

Coincidentally, Ruan Guangjian is in Jingzhou.

Pei Qian thought about it: "Let Ruan Guangjian go over and paint a large oil painting? The one that is two meters high? According to his current quotation, 5 yuan is not too much, right?"

"And no matter how good the painting is, at most everyone just takes pictures outside and watches around, and it won't have any direct impact on the income of this shared phone booth."

"Huh? If one phone booth is 50, and ten phone booths, isn't it [-]?"

"That's a good idea!"

Pei Qian originally thought this was absurd, but after analyzing it, he realized that this was obviously a surprise, a good way to spend money!

Let Ruan Guangjian draw 100 telephone booths, and it costs [-] million in an instant.

Even if Ruan Guangjian insisted on paying the friendship price, it would cost 50, right?

I just don't know if the boss's body can withstand it, anyway, Boss Pei's money is completely fine.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately said: "Yes, I will take care of the artist's affairs."

"In addition, I will invest another 50 yuan for you, and the original 20 telephone booths must not be missed!"

　Today is the [-]D update again, I should be able to repay the rewards of the cute masters this month~ Please ask for a monthly ticket! !
