18. Go to an internet café
"How come," the third brother smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just curious, fatty, you are so optimistic about this computer room? Do you really think this thing can make money? I just wanted to ask, is five yuan an hour a bit too expensive, is anyone really willing to spend so much money to play?"
It is normal for the third brother to have this doubt, after all, this kind of thing is still rare in Beitong, and no one knows what the prospect is. On the contrary, it is a roller skating rink, and now the business of the roller skating rink in Beitong City is very hot, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the profits in it. On the one hand, there is prosperity under his nose, and on the other hand, the future is uncertain, and the third brother will of course have some worries about the latter.
Regarding the third brother's question, Zhou Fangyuan did not answer directly, but changed the conversation, "Third brother, have you ever played with the computer?"
"Well, I haven't really played this before, but I've heard that this thing is mainly for work, and if you play games, it's a more advanced game console at most. ”
The third brother said with some uncertainty.
"Then let's not do anything this afternoon, let's go, I'll take you to the computer room, and you can experience it yourself. ”
Zhou Fangyuan clapped his hands and said.
"Is this good?"
The third brother hesitated, he looked at his game console, and the loss of being closed for half a day was not a small amount. Every time he went out before, he would find someone to help him keep an eye on the stall in advance. But Zhou Fangyuan's proposal today was too sudden, and he didn't have time to find someone, which meant that his game console would be turned off this afternoon. That's a lot of income, and it's no wonder that he feels a little distressed.
"Third brother, if you want to make money, you must have a certain understanding of the project. Why are you reluctant to spend half a day looking at the computer room? If you really can't afford to give up this money, then will this work, and how much will you earn in an afternoon? I will give you this money, and I will make you feel sorry for it. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile, he knew very well what the effect of saying this would be, especially for people like the third brother.
"What words!"
Sure enough, the third brother's eyes widened when he heard this, "How can I ask for your money! Isn't it just an afternoon? It's okay, it's closed for an afternoon this afternoon, and it's okay to be closed for an afternoon, even if it's closed for a week!"
The agitation method is a very old-fashioned method, but the more old-fashioned the method, the more effective it is often used.
Especially the third brother is still the kind of person who is very righteous, as soon as Zhou Fangyuan said that he was willing to use his own money to make up for the losses that the third brother might bring about when he closed the door for an afternoon, the third brother couldn't agree at the first time. Zhou Fangyuan just saw this side of the other party's personality, so with just a simple sentence, he dispelled all the hesitations in the third brother's heart.
The two sat for a while, which was equivalent to forbidding them to come.
In fact, Zhou Fangyuan was not going to take Yu Ban with him, he knew very well what kind of temptation computer games were for people who had never been exposed to computers. Although even if he doesn't take Yu Ban with him, Yu Ban will definitely enter the Internet café and get in touch with computers in the future, and in the future, computers have penetrated into thousands of households and industries in this society, and basically no one can really leave this thing.
But he didn't want to be the first person to be the first person to be banned from computers.
In the previous life, Yu Ban had achievements that he looked up to, and if nothing else, Yu Ban would still be like this in this life. But what if Zhou Fangyuan took Yu Ban to the computer room, causing the other party to be obsessed with computers from then on, but no longer study hard? Although he once envied the other party, he did not have a little jealousy in his heart, but when he thought of ruining Fa Xiao's life with his own hands, Zhou Fangyuan still played the drum vigorously in his heart.
He didn't want to do this, even if he was jealous in his heart, he still hoped that Yu Ban could have the kind of achievements in his previous life, or even surpass it.
It's just that the current situation is like this, Zhou Fangyuan stayed here to eat at noon, and Yu Ban knew about it. It is equivalent to running over after eating, but finding that Zhou Fangyuan and the third brother are all gone, what will he think? It is obvious that Zhou Fangyuan and the third brother have other things to do, but they leave him behind, to a certain extent, is this equivalent to a kind of isolation?
What's more, it was the third brother's proposal to take Yu Ban with him, and Zhou Fangyuan had no reason or position to refuse.
After waiting for ten minutes, Yu Ban ran in out of breath, and when he heard that Zhou Fangyuan and the third brother were going down to the city to check the situation in the computer room, although he didn't know what the computer was, he still agreed to go together.
After locking the door and sticking the white paper that had been written "close in the afternoon" to the gate, the three of them got on the bus to the city.
"By the way, fat man, what is a computer, I seem to have heard of it, but I can't remember anything. ”
On the way, Yu Ban turned his head curiously and asked.
"A high-tech device that you can use to work and you can play games. ”
Zhou Fangyuan glanced at the other party and said lightly.
"Can you still play games?"
As soon as he heard this, Yu Ban's eyes lit up at that time, "Is it fun?
The third brother also pricked up his ears, which was also a matter of concern to him.
"Isn't it fun...... Anyway, I think computer games are more fun than game consoles, don't worry, you'll know what's going on after a while. When the time comes, you'll all play around and see if this thing has a headset. ”
Zhou Fangyuan sold a pass, and how to say it, for people who have never been exposed to computers, it is really difficult to tell them whether computer games are fun or game consoles are fun, after all, some people just like game consoles, and some people just like computer games. People are different, and their views are naturally different.
Yu Ban was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Fangyuan's behavior of not finishing his words happily, pouting, and muttering beside him.
"Talk like you've played ......"
I'm tired of playing for a long time, okay?
Zhou Fangyuan thought in his heart, of course, he could only think about this in his heart.
Ten minutes later, the bus stopped near the family courtyard of the glass factory, and the three of them got off the bus and walked into the family courtyard of the glass factory under the leadership of Zhou Fangyuan.
The small house is the name of the local people in Beitong for the storage room attached to the residential building, which is separated from the residential building, distributed in the middle of every two residential buildings, one by one, each only a few square meters. Every household has it, so you can store your own bicycle and some things that you don't need on a daily basis.
In addition to these individual small rooms, there is also a kind of townhouse, that is, the length remains the same, but the width is extremely long, basically more than ten or twenty small rooms are all opened up, forming a relatively large space. These smaller houses are usually found on the edge of residential areas, and are not intended for residents, but are specially built by factories to be used as small warehouses.
However, now the large and small factories in Beitong are in recession, not to mention these small warehouses, even the large warehouses in the factory area are empty and can run horses. These small warehouses are also wasteful to be placed there, so they are used by people with good intentions and turned into storage sheds, or places like computer rooms.
The reason why Zhou Fangyuan knew the location of this place was only because after his family sold the house and land in the previous life, it was a house rented in the family courtyard of the glass factory. Less than two months after moving here, Zhou Fangyuan got acquainted with the children here, and then was taken by others and walked into the computer room for the first time, and since then he has been obsessed with computer games and can't extricate himself.
It can be said that this is the place where he first experienced the computer, and of course he will never forget it.
"Wow, how did you find the fat man in such a remote place?"
Won't this thing's mouth be shut at all?
Zhou Fangyuan glanced at Yu Ban and moved out the excuse that had been prepared a long time ago, "I have a classmate who lives here, and I also heard it from him." ”
"Who?"
When Yu Ban heard this, he immediately asked.
Zhou Fangyuan realized that there was a problem with his answer, Yu Ban was in the same class as himself, and if he said that he was a classmate, then he would know him nine times out of ten. But he didn't know who all of his junior high school classmates lived in the family courtyard of the glass factory or in the vicinity, and he never thought to ask. And most importantly, 90 percent of the students in their junior high school class are children from the same village and surrounding villages, and there are not even ten children in the city.
You can't just say a name, it's easy to get exposed.
Zhou Fangyuan didn't expect that the answer he said casually actually contained such a risk, although Yu Ban and the third brother might not delve into it, including Yu Ban's words, they also asked subconsciously, but if they didn't study deeply, it didn't mean that they could sit back and relax.
Fortunately, a little lie like this is too simple for Zhou Fangyuan, and he has two lives of life experience, and it is almost easy for him to come easily.
"I said that you don't know either, it's a classmate from another class. ”
Although he and Yu Ban have a good relationship and grew up together since childhood, this does not mean that the two are stuck together all the time. At school they also have their own small circles, and although the two will always play together, the small circles will not overlap 100%. Zhou Fangyuan and Yu Ban both have some classmates who are relatively good at each other, but the other is not very familiar.
"Oh. ”
Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Fangyuan's answer, Yu Ban didn't ask any more questions.
As for the third brother, his attention didn't seem to be on the conversation between the two during the whole process, and his eyes kept looking into the computer room. Because it's summer and it's hot, the door to the computer room is wide open. Although there is a lot of space inside, only a small part of it is really used and used as a computer room, and there are only seven or eight computers in total, but there are four or five people standing behind each computer, and the room is noisy and hot.
The third brother was already a little uncontrollable, as soon as Zhou Fangyuan and Yu Ban finished talking, he stepped in, Zhou Fangyuan and Yu Ban glanced at each other, and could only hurriedly follow.
