Chapter 90 Internet Cafe Trial Operation
He already has a top-tier configuration in mind:
CPU: Intel Pentium III 500MHz or 550MHz (the ceiling at the time)
Memory: 128MB or even 256MB SDRAM (far exceeding that of ordinary computers)
Hard drive: IBM 20GB (7200 RPM high-speed hard drive)
Graphics card: The newly released and revolutionary NVIDIA GeForce 256 32MB (a new product in October 1999, a performance monster) was used.
In addition, all the computers are equipped with 17-inch flat-screen monitors, which is in stark contrast to the 15-inch spherical monitors commonly found in other internet cafes.
All mice are the latest optical mice, and the keyboard is a mechanical keyboard with excellent tactile feedback.
Using top-of-the-line peripherals to create a professional and luxurious experience, bringing a shock to every player who steps into the "City of the Future".
After leaving Teacher Dong's office, Chen Zhiyuan immediately called Lin Qiunan.
She was indeed still supervising the renovation site.
Chen Zhiyuan simply went over to her and had a long, in-depth conversation with her face-to-face. He explained in detail the tiered computer configuration plan, procurement standards, budget control, and so on, and formally handed over the important task of purchasing the entire set of hardware to her.
In addition to the computer host, there are a series of supporting equipment such as switches, network cards, network cables, and servers.
Chen Zhiyuan specifically requested that the internet cafe apply for an ISDN leased line to guarantee network speed, and that an advanced 10/100M adaptive switch be used internally to build a high-speed local area network.
The servers also need to be top-of-the-line machines, specifically designed for game updates and running mainstream billing management systems like "Wanxiang Huanjing".
After a thorough discussion, Chen Zhiyuan returned to his dormitory full of confidence.
As soon as I pushed open the door to room 217, a wave of lively noise hit me.
Du Jiancheng and Duan Bin were discussing the "Future City Network Club" with great enthusiasm and spittle flying everywhere. Even Liu Haiyang, who was usually quiet, joined in the conversation with anticipation on his face.
"It's less than 200 meters from the school gate! On the second floor! Just look at that sign, it's awesome!" Duan Bin waved his arms. "I wonder when it will open. We absolutely have to be among the first to experience it!"
Du Jiancheng was a little worried: "That place, that scale, I estimate it will be packed as soon as it opens, and there will definitely be no place to sit, and you'll have to queue."
"I have to go even if I have to wait in line!" Duan Bin said matter-of-factly. "It's a new internet cafe, all new computers, and I heard the environment is super high-end. It'll be an absolute blast!"
Listening to his roommates excitedly discussing their soon-to-open internet cafe, their words filled with longing and anticipation, Chen Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He didn't expect that the internet cafe's reputation would spread among his classmates even before it was under renovation, and the effect was even better than he had anticipated.
However, he never revealed to his roommates that the internet cafe was his property.
Seeing their excited guesses, Chen Zhiyuan simply smiled.
If they knew that the internet cafe they were talking about, which supposedly had "top-of-the-line specs," used computers with top-of-the-line GeForce 256 graphics cards, all 17-inch flat-screen TVs, and even dedicated gaming areas and couples' seats... I wonder what their expressions would be?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyuan's lips curved upwards even further.
..........
The progress of the "Future City Network Club" can be described as rapid.
Every day, there are visible changes.
That afternoon, when Chen Zhiyuan stepped inside again, the scene before him had been completely transformed.
Workers are methodically installing ergonomic computer chairs and large computer desks, while professional cabling personnel are laying neat cable trays and network cables; everything is in perfect order.
What struck him even more was that several staff members in telecommunications uniforms were debugging equipment and splicing optical fibers—it was a dedicated line!
This means that the internet speed in "City of the Future" will far exceed that of ordinary ADSL dial-up internet cafes, creating an overwhelming advantage in certain games that have extremely high requirements for network latency.
Lin Qiunan's energy is indeed extraordinary.
Chen Zhiyuan secretly praised them. The ability to secure such a dedicated line connection in just a few days was something no ordinary channel could accomplish.
Meanwhile, the company's registration process and the acquisition of various business licenses were progressing steadily under Lin Qiunan's management, requiring no effort from Chen Zhiyuan.
He was able to refocus most of his energy on his studies and training.
Considering the formal classes, Chen Zhiyuan adjusted the training plan to be more efficient: once a day, each session lasting about an hour of high-intensity, high-quality training.
Amazingly, even with seemingly low training volume, his performance continued to improve steadily and rapidly, and his physical condition became increasingly perfect.
Su Bingying, who was in charge of the guidance, was amazed in his heart more than once: This is not a genius, but a "monster" with an unbelievable training and absorption efficiency!
Time flew by and it was now October 15th.
The morning was packed with classes, four in a row.
As soon as get out of class ended, Chen Zhiyuan rushed out of the classroom with light steps and headed straight for the school gate. Lin Qiunan had called him in the morning, excitedly telling him that all the preparations were basically finished and everything would be ready by noon, so they could officially start trial operation tomorrow!
Upon receiving this news, Chen Zhiyuan felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
If he didn't have classes in the afternoon, he would have rushed over at noon to see it for himself.
This is, after all, the first business he has truly planned and invested in independently since his rebirth, and it is of extraordinary significance.
Stepping out of the school gate, after only a few steps, the huge, cool, and futuristic neon sign of "Future City Internet Club" came into view.
Chen Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction again. The money was well spent, and the GG effect and brand image were instantly maximized.
He unconsciously quickened his pace and soon entered his own "city of the future".
As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a bright and refreshing atmosphere!
Compared to yesterday, this place has undergone another transformation.
The renovation project is now complete. The floor is as smooth as a mirror, and the walls are decorated with simple yet technologically advanced lines and light strips.
The once empty space is now filled with rows of neat and stylish computer desks and chairs.
A brand-new, gleaming 17-inch flat-screen monitor, a stylish optical mouse, and a mechanical keyboard are displayed quietly, reflecting an alluring luster under carefully designed ambient lighting.
The entire environment was spacious, bright, and clean, exuding a high-class feel, perfectly matching and even exceeding his initial vision.
"This effect is amazing!" Chen Zhiyuan thought to himself, cheering.
"Zhiyuan, you're here!" Lin Qiunan, with her sharp eyes, spotted him immediately and walked over quickly with undisguised excitement and a sense of accomplishment on her face.
"Everything is basically ready! Now everyone is doing the final thorough cleaning and finishing touches, and we'll be completely done soon!"
