Chapter III Site Selection of Internet Cafes

During the morning class, Li Xiaoming buried his head and took out all the textbooks, browsing them one by one, after all, he hadn't read the textbooks for 20 years, and now if he wants to take the first grade in the exam, he must still review and review.

It's just that Li Xiaoming can rely on 20 years of accumulation to quickly integrate the content in the textbook. Hurry up and get the school things done, so that my parents can rest assured, so that I can have more time to carry out his and Chen Wu's fortune plan, otherwise if you want to do business alone at your current age, it is estimated that your head will be crooked.

Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar contents in the textbook, Li Xiaoming still had a feeling of dreaming, and his hands clenched his fists tightly: "Rebirth can really be my turn, this time I must be the boss!

"Bang!" A hand slapped heavily on Li Xiaoming's desk, making Li Xiaoming jump up in fright: "Li Xiaoming, get out of here!"

Li Xiaoming looked up, and suddenly his scalp was numb, it's over, it's Teacher Zhong again, didn't he just desert himself? Why was he caught again......

Standing up dejectedly, slowly moving his pace, he honestly walked out of the classroom, and stood against the wall.

"It's really unlucky, I've only been back for two days, and I've been punished for both days, could it be that the mocking aura that Xiao Ming's name is born with is at full power at any time......? My mother, what's the matter, why don't you take advantage of being a minor and ask my parents to change my name?" Li Xiaoming thought silently, but finally looked at his undeveloped small body, and then considered the hangers and brooms at home, he still decisively strangled this unrealistic idea in the cradle. And thought beautifully: "Actually, this is not bad, all Chinese know my name, and I am also a celebrity!"

After school at noon, Li Xiaoming took Chen Wu and went directly to a street, which is the most famous Internet café street in the old county town of Yuan County in the future.

Yuan County has been relocated as a whole in 2010 because of the construction of the reservoir, and the original old county seat has long been submerged under the reservoir, and most of the small restaurants here have not been opened again after the overall relocation of the county, which has also become one of the regrets of Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu for many years.

Li Xiaoming stood in this long-lost place, and felt extremely cordial in his heart, and immediately ran to the braised bean curd fast food that he hadn't eaten for many years: "Uncle Wang, let's have a bean curd rice, and then make a green pepper shredded pork." ”

"Yo, Xiao Ming and Xiao Wu, okay, where is Xiao Wu, what do you want?" said the chubby Uncle Wang happily looking at the two children.

"Uncle Wang, I want oyster mushroom slices, Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is the best!" Chen Wu also obviously showed his nostalgic feelings, and said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, you two sit at the table by the door, the food will be coming soon!"

Uncle Wang's shop is a big pot of dishes, more than a dozen dishes are made and served in a big pot, the whole street can smell the fragrance of various dishes, the braised bean curd is poured on a large bowl of white rice, the bright red oil is mixed with rice, the bean curd that melts in the mouth adds a different flavor to the rice, and then the unique taste of the big pot of stir-fried vegetables is simply the supreme deliciousness.

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu don't look at it now, it's less than one meter and four meters, but the two of them are really fighting today, one person actually ate three whole bowls of rice, Uncle Wang is happy, in Uncle Wang's heart, he may feel that his food is loved by these picky little guys, which is the greatest affirmation of him!

"Goodbye Uncle Wang, we'll be here next week!" After eating, Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu waved goodbye to Uncle Wang, as for the food money? Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu's father discussed a frenzied method, directly depriving them of the source of their pocket money. That is, signing. Yes, that's right, sign the bill. They eat at Uncle Wang's every day, Uncle Wang gets a notepad and ticks it every day, and Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu's father comes over to settle the account for Uncle Wang once a month, resulting in the two children's pocket money being only a pitiful five cents a day.

But then again, at that time, coin-operated game consoles were all the rage, either "Street Fighter", "Thunderbolt", or "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms". Giving food money to these little broken children, and expecting them to eat, is really thinking too much. It's almost the same as the boss of the game hall who contributed all the money. One dollar can buy four coins, and a meal costs three yuan, if you buy coins to play games, Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu can play for two full hours at noon every day.

Coming out of Uncle Wang's shop, Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu strolled through this street that was less than 500 meters long, carefully looking at the surrounding shops, which were basically three- or four-story houses that they had their own land and then built, and there were people living on them, and the first floor was used as a shop to either do their own business or rent it.

"In this era, the computer configuration of a 5000 basically any game can be driven, the computer purchase does not need to be paid in full at one time, you can use the license as collateral, anyway, in this era eighty computers of the Internet café are all giants, you think we used to surf the Internet café, an Internet café ten twenty computers, every time you come late, you have to queue up, there is a scale we can dominate the business of this street. Li Xiaoming began to analyze.

"Yes, and in the past, the computers in those Internet cafes, except for the monitors, I estimate that one will not cost 1,000 yuan, they are all tattered second-hand goods, if we really do it according to the configuration of 5,000 yuan a unit, it will be a flying aircraft carrier!" Chen Wu nodded in agreement.

"Now let's get the shop done first, now the rent of the shop in these places is no different from the price of cabbage, a fifty-square-meter shop is only a little one thousand a year, let's rent all the shops that will open the Internet café next year to him, there are eight shops, four hundred square meters, only eight thousand rents a year, and then every month into a batch of computers, the current Internet café is not like the Internet café in the future What kind of environment, a small computer table is crowded and sitting, so the final scale is at least 150 to 180 computers。 According to the business of those Internet cafes in the past, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., they were all full, and at least one-third of the computers were still in use all night, two yuan an hour, a computer was 26 yuan for 13 hours during the day, 2,000 yuan for 80 computers, 700 yuan for a third at night, 2,708 yuan a day, and more than 83,000 yuan a month. "Li Xiaoming is the first to be counted.

"Moreover, the computer is only given 50 percent, we can get all 80 units for 200,000 yuan, and we can get 30 more units after deducting 3,000 electricity bills in a month, and we can fill up the machines of the Internet café in three months, and then go to the city to build two Internet cafes, and by this time next year, our monthly income can reach 500,000 yuan, and the time is completely enough!"

"Big guy Xiao Ming, I'll be your leg pendant in the future!, then let's do it!" Chen Wu is really full of little stars now, looking at Li Xiaoming with admiration.

"Come and find your brother-in-law, help us sign a contract with the landlord, and apply for a business license, we can't handle this now, and others will sneak us to our parents." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the commissary and call my brother-in-law. After Chen Wu finished speaking, he trotted all the way and hurried to find the talisman.

Li Xiaoming stood in front of the eight shops in this row, recalling the grand occasion of the Internet café street here, and smiled: "This time there is nothing to do with you, Internet café owners, let me earn the money!"

It is said that Chen Wu's brother-in-law is also a strange character, because he is the only man in his family, or the youngest one, he has been very favored since he was a child, after Chen Wu's family made a fortune, Chen Wu's mother has always taken good care of this younger brother, resulting in his brother-in-law not taking the usual path at all, since he was a student, he has always been determined to become the richest man in Yuan County, and he will do whatever business he wants to make money, but because of his talent, it is a loss and a loss. I remember that his brother-in-law once had a whim, thinking that the students must want to eat snacks in school, so he encouraged Chen Wu to secretly smuggle snacks into the school to sell for money, he contributed the principal, Chen Wu was responsible for the shipment, and the plan to make a fortune really went for several days, until Chen Wu sold a pack of little raccoon noodles to Teacher Zhong's daughter, and this happened. Chen Wu went back and was beaten up because of this, because his brother-in-law actually sold him, and his brother-in-law said: "This kid wants money to tell me, and he thinks he is taking money every day, but he ends up selling snacks!" and he felt no guilt.

After a while, Uncle Chen Wu shook his chubby belly and followed Chen Wu to Li Xiaoming's side.

"Hello uncle!" Li Xiaoming shouted with Chen Wu. Anyway, the two of them and their families are good enough to wear a pair of pants, so that's what they call it.

"Xiao Ming, what are you going to do with Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu said on the phone, what are your plans to make a fortune?" Chen Wu's brother-in-law Wang Maoli said.

"Uncle, in this case, we plan to rent this row of shops and use them to open an Internet café. ”

"Internet café? What is it? Oh, it's just playing with the computer, right?"

"Yes, it's a computer. ”

"What kind of money can that thing make? Who will play that thing now, and who will spend money if they don't know how to play it?" Comrade Wang Maoli asked with a confused expression.

"Uncle, don't worry! Anyway, we're still studying, you have to help us go through the formalities or something, and you're going to help us watch it when it's over! Let's divide your money!" Chen Wu slapped his chest with a bang.

"Hey, you kid is not willing to let your dad be so good, right! I think so too, okay, I'll help you get the formalities or something, go to class quickly! But forget the money, I don't think this business has anything to do, just ask the two of you to take care of it when the time comes." I continued to look for my fortune plan. Comrade Wang Maoli waved his fat hand and said happily.

"That's okay, then thank you, uncle, let's go to class, you can help us with the rent or something, let's go to Rongcheng together next month, and I'll have to trouble you then!"

"Okay, okay, got it, go go, go. ”

After Comrade Wang Maoli finished speaking, he walked straight to the front of the shop and slapped the closed roller shutter door with a clang.

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu looked at each other and secretly covered their mouths and smiled, and ran away with a smoke.

Now the address and license of the Internet café are solved, and the next problem is to go to Chengdu to see how to negotiate with the merchant without having to pay the full amount to buy a computer.

The most popular games now are basically LAN games, like "Red Alert", "StarCraft", "Warcraft", "CS" and the like, but now it is not popular at all in this small place in Source County. As for how to publicize Internet cafes? This is too simple! In this era when advertising is still very backward, future generations can just take some marketing methods, and it is simply not too easy to use!

Besides, in this era, there are few ways to entertain, KTV or anything at all, there is only one very old-fashioned karaoke in the county, and there is a video hall with only twenty or thirty seats, and the rest are two or three arcade game halls.

As soon as he left the school gate in the afternoon, Comrade Wang Maoli was already waiting at the school gate.

"Oh, your rental contract, take it, the license is already being processed, but no one in the county has done this thing yet, and the industry and commerce side don't know what it is, you need to ask the city, and it will be delayed for a month." Comrade Wang Maoli handed the contract to Li Xiaoming, and then said to the two of them.

"It's okay, it's just right, it's just in time, we won't go to Rongcheng until next month. Li Xiaoming took the contract, opened it and said, "I'll go, it's only 6,004? Why is it so cheap?"

"Hehe, don't look at who your uncle is, with my three-inch tongue, how easy this little thing is. Wang Maoli said triumphantly: "And I paid them five years of rent at one time, these landlords are so happy that they can't find the north, their street, the shop is not rented at all, and they are of course happy to have money to make." ”

"Five...... Five years, uncle, you are really my own uncle! It's not in vain that I gave you a fat beating last time!" Chen Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with joy.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, anyway, you're the most powerful brother-in-law!

"Nonsense! Of course it's dear!"

"Then, you have to follow us when you go to Rongcheng! You have to trouble you to talk about purchasing computers, otherwise the boss will definitely not believe it." ”

"No problem, I haven't been to Rongcheng for a long time, by the way, it's just that I'm tired of driving, winding mountain road, more than eight hours!"

Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu glanced at each other, and suddenly realized! It's over, I forgot about this, now the highway from Yuanxian County to Anya City has not been opened at all, and the winding mountain road with a simple name that is as simple as the exploding mud mountain has to walk for four and a half hours! The key is that there are many curves! Now this small body is not as good as in the future, it is the rhythm of motion sickness to death! It seems that you have to remember the motion sickness medicine before setting off, otherwise it is estimated that there is only half a life left in Rongcheng, how can you have the energy to go to Bainaohui to purchase. Moreover, the business of reselling fruits is estimated to be yellow, and I don't know if any trucks are willing to come here to pull goods.

The three of them talked about their plans as they walked, and the picture was full of harmony.

One big and two small walked in the direction of home in the afterglow of the setting sun......
