Luong Chinh, along with his close friends, has just opened the Aka Gaming cafe in Hanoi, featuring a total of over 100 gaming computers ranging from mid to high-end. Notably, the investors in this gaming cafe are all very young friends who share a passion for gaming.
Luong Chinh’s real name is Luong Van Chinh, born in 1996 in Son La. Although his family’s tradition is in the medical field, he has been passionate about business since childhood and is not afraid to express his ambition to become a boss. Aka Gaming is the biggest and riskiest decision Luong Chinh has made so far. The 90s kid mentions that many people think he is still young to own a large gaming cafe, and their first thought is that his family must be well-off.
Luong Chinh openly shares that Aka Gaming is his and his friends’ passion, but they also received a lot of support from their families, especially financially. When discussing the decision to open a gaming cafe, he stated that he wanted to find a unique direction with less competition compared to other professions.
Luong Chinh became interested in gaming while still in school. Back then, he and his friends often went to internet cafes to play games but felt uncomfortable with the smell of cigarette smoke, dirty tables and chairs, dim screens, and laggy gameplay… His idea for a “quiet” internet cafe with cleanliness and strong configurations started from there.
With a stroke of luck in business, the Aka Gaming cafe of Luong Chinh and his friends attracted many customers right from the opening day. The number of customers each day is stable and almost fills all the machines. This gives him more confidence that his business choice was correct and that there will be breakthroughs in the future.
Luong Chinh revealed that the newly opened gaming cafe has a spacious and airy location, divided into different areas: a regular gaming room, VIP room, and streaming room. Notably, there is also a VIP area for smokers and double or private rooms for users to choose from at their discretion.
Luong Chinh disclosed that he and his friends, who share a passion for gaming, invested more than 4 billion VND in this cyber cafe. Speaking about the daring decision to open a gaming cafe amidst the complicated Covid-19 situation, the 90s kid mentioned that alongside the risks, there are also many advantages to seize.
“The first advantage for start-ups during Covid is that rental costs for business premises are much lower than before. If you have a certain amount of capital, you can sign a contract for 2-3 years, and when the difficulties pass, the profits thereafter will be enough to offset the costs.
The second advantage is that when establishing a cyber cafe during this time, you are practically a ‘golden’ customer of Gamezone. Discounts, support for design will be provided at the best possible level. All difficulties will pass, and after the rain, the sky will clear. When the pandemic is over, you will have a solid business foundation to develop, Luong Chinh shared.
To celebrate the opening of the gaming cafe, Aka Gaming has several promotional programs such as: Free playtime, Raffle prizes.
