Dusk is a natural sight and is beautiful.

The millstone-like sun gradually turned into a semicircle, crumbling on the horizon, the light was no longer as dazzling as in the daytime, becoming more and more ethereal, more and more blurred, and the clouds turned from fiery red to orange-red under the faint sunlight.

The sky is full of colorful clouds.

The crowd of people in the square who was surging like ocean waves seemed to be dressed in a thin layer of gold, and their long shadows were stretched in the setting sun.

It was half past five in the afternoon.

There are still a few young people standing in front of Wang Qiang's booth, and there are thirteen or fourteen Walkmans on the cardboard, and twenty-six have been sold in half a day, and the business is good, perhaps the last cheer before the storm, because starting tomorrow, he will not be able to come here to set up a stall for the time being, and there are still fifty-four Walkmans left in his hand and I don't know where to sell.

It stands to reason that if you hold on a little longer, it is very likely that all the remaining fourteen Walkmans will be sold out.

It's just that he's not ready to stick to it any longer, and there are more important things to do.

closed the stall and said hello to the old man.

Wang Qiang carried the suitcase, rolled up the cardboard, and threw it in the trash can not far away, and did not bring it back as before, and tomorrow, it will not be needed.

……

The evening breeze is gentle.

It's cool to blow on the body.

When Wang Qiang stepped into the door of the Friendship Guest House, he saw that the counter was full of travelers who came to stay, and the proprietress pulled her throat and asked them to come one by one.

"I'll be accommodated first. ”

"Why did you come first? I'll come first!"

"Don't compete with the third child, let's line up. ”

A group of people were noisy around the counter, several big men, and some dragged their families.

"Let's go, let's go. Wang Qiang squeezed through the crowd and wanted to go inside.

One of the big black men with fur on his arms grabbed him, "Big brother, I came first, you don't lead the queue." ”

The proprietress glanced at it and quickly shouted, "He's my brother." ”

The big black man quickly let go, and hehe smiled to apologize.

Wang Qiang ignored it and looked at the proprietress of the boss, "Eldest sister, where is Brother Zhu?"

"Cook in there, you go in first, and we'll have dinner together, ho?" the proprietress said with concern.

"Good. ”

Walk in.

Inside, the news was on the TV.

On the balcony, Boss Zhu was sweating profusely and stir-frying.

There was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man sitting next to the small round table, who had never seen it, and he looked five or six points like Boss Zhu.

"Yo, Brother Xiao Wang is back, sit first, I'll stir-fry. Boss Zhu was wearing an apron and a cigarette in his mouth.

"You get busy first. Wang Qiang pulled a small stool and sat down, looking at the young man, "Who is this?"

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce, my son Xiaofeng, Zhu Xiaofeng. Boss Zhu stir-fried the tomato scrambled eggs in the pot, and turned his head sideways to the young man who was watching TV and said, "Call Uncle Wang." ”

Wang Qiang: "......"

Zhu Xiaofeng: "......"

The two are about the same age, so it's inappropriate to call them uncles.

may have seen that his son didn't react, Boss Zhu's eyes widened, "Didn't you hear your uncle?"

Zhu Xiaofeng said helplessly: "Uncle." ”

Wang Qiang sweated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, I'm about the same age as Xiaofeng, how can I call it that?"

"Hey, I'm commensurate with your brother, he doesn't call you uncle to take advantage of me, who is a good man. Boss Zhu was quite concerned about this, took a puff of cigarette while stir-frying, and smacked his lips: "I haven't seen you for a day, why did you go?"

The reason why the stall was closed early was because there was something to talk to Boss Zhu.

Thinking of opening a game room in the morning, Wang Qiang finally figured out what to do after a day of thinking.

First of all, if you want to rent a house, it is not necessarily a good location, but it must be close to the school.

Secondly, since you are going to open a red and white game room, a TV is a necessity, and you have 20 red and white machines in your hand, you must prepare 20 second-hand TVs.

Finally, and most importantly.

Now the law and order is not as good as imagined, there are a lot of ruffians and hooligans, opening a game room is the easiest to attract ruffians and hooligans, don't open up and then collect protection fees What Wang Qiang can not stand it, not that he is afraid of things, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, ruffians and hooligans are generally in groups, he is alone, how can he fight? So we must find a landlord to cooperate, on the one hand, we can share the financial risks, on the other hand, to avoid the harassment of the ruffians as much as possible.

I don't know anyone in Modu, Wang Qiang only thought of Boss Zhu, in fact, he didn't know if Boss Zhu could solve the ruffian hooligans, but it was better to have a local person to support him than nothing, some things were not as simple as imagined, and someone had to take care of them.

"I'm out playing, by the way, man, I came up with an idea to make money. Wang Qiang didn't say anything directly, but threw out a temptation.

Sure enough, Boss Zhu, who had just prepared to serve the dishes, was stunned, perhaps because he tasted the sweetness of delivering food to the guests, and he hurriedly asked, "What idea?"

Zhu Xiaofeng also looked at it curiously, as if he wanted to see what the "uncle" he had just recognized was capable of.

Wang Qiang organized his words and made sure that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said: "On the way back, I saw that the game hall was doing very well, and I wondered in my heart, can we also open a game hall?"

"Pull it down, a game console is tens of thousands. Zhu Xiaofeng interjected, obviously he misunderstood it as an arcade room.

Now the arcade machine is sold as a whole, even the basket with software about 40,000 yuan, in addition to direct purchase there is also a way is to rent, the initial investment is cheaper, but the business flow to be divided into manufacturers, in fact, it is not much cheaper, anyway, it can only be described in two words to open an arcade room - expensive.

In a way, Zhu Xiaofeng's words are right.

It's just that Wang Qiang didn't plan to build an arcade room at all, he wanted to open a red and white game room, and the low cost couldn't be cheaper.

"Shut up! Boss Zhu shouted, although he has no status in front of his wife, he is still very dignified in front of his son, and said while serving tomato scrambled eggs: "Xiao Wang, you continue." ”

Seeing that Zhu Xiaofeng shut up, Wang Qiang smiled and groaned: "Actually, Xiaofeng is right, if it is to open an arcade room, it is indeed very expensive, but I don't mean to open an arcade room, but to open a red and white game room." ”

Boss Zhu didn't quite understand, "Red and white machine, what's it?"

"It's a game console plugged into the TV. Zhu Xiaofeng explained, he may have inherited the genes of the proprietress, and he can say, "Isn't it just the red and white machine game room, nothing unusual, I have seen two of them in Xuhui, two yuan an hour per person, and play casually." ”

Well?

Is there really a game room for red and white machines?

This is what Wang Qiang didn't expect, he only knew that there was an MD game room later, in fact, the red and white machine game room did exist for a while, but after the pirated arcade machine flourished and better MD games appeared, it was gradually eliminated, but Wang Qiang didn't know the situation, he heard Zhu Xiaofeng talk about it and asked: "How is the business?"

Zhu Xiaofeng said with a big grin: "Business must be good, I sometimes can't grab a place when I go, but there are almost more than two hundred red and white machines, and the game card is the cheapest eighty or ninety, plus the TV, there is a lot of money to invest in, it is estimated that I can't get ten thousand dollars, if three or four are boring." ”

"You still go to the game room? No wonder you didn't get into high school, I'll talk to your mom when I get back and see how she cleans you up." Lao Zhu made a straight face, and then said to Wang Qiang: "Xiao Wang, you see, what my son said also makes sense, I can find a friend to get a second-hand TV set is not much money, but what kind of red and white machine and game card are so expensive, 10,000 yuan is not a small number." ”

Wang Qiang said in a surprising voice: "I'll solve the red and white machines and game cards, is twenty red and white machines and seventy boxes of game cards enough?"

Zhu Xiaofeng was taken aback and said, "Second...... Twenty red and white machines, seventy boxes of game cards, these things add up to tens of thousands of dollars, right?"

Hearing that it was worth tens of thousands of yuan, Boss Zhu was startled, and looked at Wang Qiang with his eyes, as if he didn't expect that he was so rich in making a friend of Brother Wang.

Wang Qiang didn't say how much the game console and game card were, according to the price of Shanghai, it is indeed worth 10,000 yuan, but now there is no place to sell it, even if it is worth a million, it is useless, he asked: "Brother, I want to get a red and white machine game room to pull you together, are you interested?"

Lao Zhu came to the small round table with tomato scrambled eggs, and said with a tangled face: "If you are interested, you are interested, but if you want me to take out 10,000 yuan at once......"

Wang Qiang interrupted: "You don't need to pay so much money, as long as you get the house and the TV well, the house doesn't need to be rented, forty or fifty square meters, close to the school, as for the second-hand TV, I heard you say in the morning that you have a friend who repairs electrical appliances, and you should be able to get a cheap second-hand TV, right?"

Lao Zhu was a little hesitant.

Zhu Xiaofeng shouted, "Dad, what are you hesitating about a great thing, promise, you and your mother want to see if the hotel is available, I am free." ”

Wang Qiangwan smiled, knowing that this kid had the idea of becoming a boss, maybe it was to play a few more games, anyway, he definitely didn't think about making money or not.

"Wait, I'll talk to your eldest sister about it. Lao Zhu didn't dare to make his own decisions, and walked quickly.

Wait for him to walk out.

Zhu Xiaofeng couldn't stop being excited in his eyes and said, "Xiao Wang...... Uncle, do you really want to open a game room?"

Wang Qiang said: "If your parents don't want to, then I'll open it myself." ”

"Yes, they definitely do. Zhu Xiaofeng swore and said: "If they don't agree, I'll convince them." ”

The two were talking.

The voices of the proprietress and Boss Zhu came from outside.

"What are you doing? ”

"You tell them to wait a while, and I'll discuss something with you. ”

"Can't you wait a minute?"

"You come in first, it's going to be a big deal. ”

In the chatter, the proprietress was pulled in from outside by Boss Zhu.

As soon as he ran in, Boss Zhu said to Wang Qiangnunu: "Xiao Wang, you tell your eldest sister what happened just now, if she wants to say okay, we will do it, if she wants to say no, then I have no problem, the money is not in my hands." ”

"What's the matter?" the proprietress looked over.

Wang Qiang repeated what he had just said, and he didn't say how much money he could make to mislead the proprietress because until now, he wasn't sure if he could have much business.

After listening, the proprietress asked, "Can you make money?"

"It should work. Wang Qiang's tone was not very sure.

Zhu Xiaofeng followed, "I must be able to make money, the two red and white machine game rooms in Xuhui are full every day, and there are only about a dozen game machines, and they can earn more than 200 yuan every day." ”

The proprietress asked some of her sons about the situation of the two red and white game rooms in Xuhui.

Zhu Xiaofeng knows everything and says everything, what can sit two people on each game console, two yuan an hour per person, and what is full of people at noon, evening, and rest days, anyway, it blows all over the sky.

The proprietress nodded, counted points in her heart, and said to Wang Qiang again: "How much money do Lao Zhu and I have to pay?"

Wang Qiang thought about it carefully and analyzed: "Twenty second-hand TVs, according to Brother Zhu's way, it is estimated that it will cost about 2,000 yuan, I don't know how much it costs to rent a house of forty or fifty square meters, and it will not exceed 3,000 yuan in the initial stage when you add tables and chairs." ”

"Twenty units, even if the three seven are divided into three thousand yuan, it will return to the original cost in a month, Mom, you promise. Zhu Xiaofeng instigated.

Boss Zhu looked at his wife with a blank eye, and he seemed to be very moved.

I have to say that the proprietress has a much more poisonous vision than Boss Zhu, in the end, she is a woman who supports a family, and when she heard her son say that she is so profitable, she said decisively: "Cheng, Lao Zhu, I will give you 3,000 yuan, you and Xiao Wang will try it." ”

Wang Qiang finally let go of his hanging heart, to be honest, he was really afraid that the proprietress would not agree, the agreed time with his mother was only a few days, if he invested himself, I am afraid that he would not be able to complete the task of 10,000 yuan, according to his understanding of his mother, he would inevitably force him to go to school.

Besides, I thought about it before, without the help of the head snake, it is more difficult to open a game room.

Fortunately, the proprietress agreed.

Try it for two days first, as long as the business is good, then take your mother to Shanghai, when your mother and Boss Zhu look at the game room, Wang Qiang will continue to make money with information asymmetry, and I believe that it will not take long for the family living conditions to be completely improved.
