Knife: Seven founder's Internet café startup failure case

Objective：

Before, my public account update speed if with a disease to measure, it must be "irregular menstruation" ... A lot of friends ask me why I write so little? I'm always very tall. said: "I am the pursuit of the people, I prefer the quality." ”

Today, a friend who hasn't contacted for almost 10 years suddenly found me. This is when I wrote the most manuscripts of a campus magazine editor, most of the time, a fortnightly use of my four manuscripts, respectively, using my real name, pseudonym, nickname, Girlfriend's network name. He said he had been watching me silently recently, and I had also seen some of the things I wrote in places like Tiger sniffing.

Chatting to the end, he was affable and constructive said: "Cheap, don't tell me your pursuit, you ya is lazy." ”

The words awakened the dreamer. Writing for me, although can not say that Evans as wetted general, but easy four words can be done.

So starting today, in addition to writing some long pieces of text to other places, you will insist on writing something every day in this account (kuaidaoqingyi520), which may involve product, design, Internet, spit, workplace, jokes, reading, app recommendation ... Wait a minute. Like to see, you point a praise, share. Do not like to see, you do not scold, I do not necessarily see, the second is the Internet text so much, you save a little time to find a way to make their heartbeat of the "Girl's Heart" bar.

What to say today:

Entrepreneurship is the hottest thing in recent years, whether it is cattle or loser, entrepreneurship as a way to achieve self-worth. Today, I'm going to talk about a couple of startups from 10 years ago.

10 years ago, just after the outbreak of SARS, as a nine-stream pheasant University of the upcoming graduates I am still fooling around in the Internet café. With 3 high school students, 3 university students every day playing legend pick CS, live a happy. Until one day, we bubble every day the owner of the Internet café suddenly shut down. At that time, we, the feelings of the Internet café than the feelings of the girlfriend is still deep, next to a knife cut noodle is the Super VIP members, until today, heard the knife noodles three words, I was a bit queasy ...

At night, when we talk about how the battlefield shifts, we forget who said, "Why don't we just give this internet café to the seven people?". The next thing comes naturally. In the current popular words is, this is the seven like-minded team of the founder of the strong fighting force (especially the cs/legend/Empire/Red alert, etc.).

Of the seven, six people vote for three to 50,000 of cash, I was relatively poor, but as a fan of saving machines, to technology shares. With today's Internet title, I should be CTO, but I have another loud call "network management." When they asked me what the conditions were for shares and dividends, I simply said, "Just let me play the game for free." ”

Later, my wish came true, because they heinous let a CTO work night!

Think back, a lot of details can use the current vocabulary to carry out packaging, see that year although there are not so many entrepreneurial instructors and ideas, but people's own creativity can not be underestimated.

How to do the customer-centric service

First of all, briefly introduce the general situation of Internet cafes, three-storey small building, close to a university and a secondary school. So after taking over, according to the user's category, divided into not too understand the network only chat QQ University girls/Only online or to see the film University Boys/Friends call friends to play games new customers/daily bubble here in the regulars, there are minors.

For the first two types of people, will be assigned to the first floor hall, there are cameras have microphones to chat, and new customers will be assigned to the first floor of the bag, the new machine can promote Word-of-mouth. For the regulars, the basic is to go straight to the second floor, the performance of the computer in the room than the first floor, and a special room to put three sofa bed for the fighting trapped soldiers, there is a separate bathroom.

The most accurate should be the measures against minors, at the time of the initial ban, the intensity is very large but the loophole is also very big. Just one of our founders was a public security ... He put the minors on the third floor of a locked compartment, sound insulation effect, and in the window with iron staircase installed. Such minors to the Internet, do not have to go to the front door, a lot less risk. And the children also feel very interesting, feel like playing CS Assault Warehouse map with the spirit of adventure. (Of course, now I still very opposed to minors to the Internet cafes ...) So far, I have always believed that Ming gun easy to hide arrow difficult to prevent, the organization of people to fight against the organization more terrible.

For different users to provide different personalized services, which quickly robbed the next few internet cafes business.

Also worth mentioning is a corner of the first floor, the placement of these seven computers. It is specially for the elder brother a few match high-end machine, be called "Boss area". Can be seen, even if the entrepreneurial, but also learn to enjoy life.

Two. Guide operations with Data

At that time, no one understood what is called data analysis, but the basic market observation is still there. For example, every day to visit a few laps, to see how many people play the legend, a few people play CS, a few people play miracles, a few people to see the film, a few people play language chat, and then the evening based on these conditions to adjust the content of some computers, because there is no today's internet

Of course, every night there will be a lot of hiding in the corner of the wretched man, furtive eyes erratic, occasionally looked up to see network management, it must be watching pornography. In this case, if the bar is on duty sister, drink/instant noodles/ham sausage/Point card business is good ...

BTW, in the years after, often see the network management and internet female students or passion or pornography stories, especially those cock silk wrote pornography, often with such a title "I Do Network management that year" when the network management of my late up her. For Mao I never met ...

Three. Failure

According to the above measures, although not big rich expensive, but an internet café to survive should not be a problem, then why this internet Café only a year? The core reason is on the founding team.

Seven founders, Oh, my God! This is not to pack Snow White, nor the pursuit of the power of the people's commune period, for a small internet café, do not need so many bosses. The first is the boss's division of labor is not clear, it is more impossible to measure the workload, there must be some diligent people slack, followed by every boss to the Internet café will bring a few friends, credit or free is commonplace. In the end, the money that is made every day is basically thrown by different bosses into the big stalls ...

So for the entrepreneurial team, co-founder is very important, but definitely not the more the more, there is a backbone, and then with a technical cow and a market bull, the basic core team formed.

But despite the failure, but now think about it, that period of time is very happy. I just do not know where the next few bosses of the machine is wandering.

The old boy's melody suddenly echoed in my mind

“

Blink of an eye the past years how many Huang

Once ambition young envy South Fly Yan

Their own future figure in a hurry to drift away

Where the future is ordinary Ah, who gave me the answer

The people who were with me, where are you now?

”

Hello, my brothers!

Next time, we open a brothel to try?
