Cap. 32 Hoarding of Internet Café Licences

Li Hao said: "Uncle Zhou, don't say that, if there is anything you need me to serve, just say it directly." ”

Uncle Zhou said: "You and Mengzi grew up together since childhood, and they are like brothers, and I don't treat you as an outsider." Here's the thing, in fact, I've been wanting to open another Internet café recently, but I'm a little short of money. Now that I have these hundreds of thousands, I can finally open another Internet café, I want you to help contact Zhongguancun, can you customize a batch of computers for Internet cafes at a low price?"

Zhou Meng patted his thigh and said: "Of course it's no problem! It's a good thing to open an extra Internet café, and I, Zhou Meng, will also be the prince of the chain company in the future!"

Uncle Zhou glared at him and looked at Li Hao cautiously: "Xiaohao, why don't you speak?"

"Hey!"

Li Hao sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Zhou Meng became anxious: "Brother Hao, shouldn't you even help with such a small favor?" My father personally begged you, you should also do a favor for my face! Besides, this doesn't cost you anything, you are so good at negotiating and bargaining, just make a few phone calls. ”

Li Hao said, "Uncle Zhou, can I ask you a question?"

Uncle Zhou nodded: "Yes." ”

"Why do you want to open another Internet café? Isn't this Internet café very good now? It's right at the entrance of the community, the business is good, and the monthly income is also very stable. If you open another Internet café, you can't open it near the community, right? And you don't have so many people to manage it, right?"

Li Hao listed one practical problem after another, trying to dispel Uncle Zhou's idea of opening an Internet café.

He never expected that he had made so many efforts, and as a result, the Zhou family had embarked on the old path of his previous life.

In his previous life, Zhou Meng was not admitted to university, and went home to take over the Internet café, seeing that the Internet café business was booming, he was ambitious, opened one branch after another, and opened five Internet cafes in three or four years. But unexpectedly, a few years later, the Internet café industry fell into a slump, and with the rise of smartphones, almost overnight, the Internet café industry completely collapsed......

The Zhou family also owed a lot of debts because of this, and Zhou Meng went south to work......

He tried his best to let Zhou Meng be admitted to university, thinking that this would change the trajectory of Zhou Meng's life. Unexpectedly, after Uncle Zhou had a large amount of money in his hand, coupled with the cheap supply of computers, the idea of opening another Internet café immediately popped into his mind.

If he is given a little sweetness, he will continue to open a second and a third one......

When the wave of Internet café closures hits, the Zhou family will inevitably be photographed to death on the beach.

Uncle Zhou replied: "In the past two years, the business of Internet cafes has become more and more popular, more and more young people are surfing the Internet, and several new Internet cafes have opened in several communities near us, and the business is full almost every day. I estimate that there will be a booming momentum in the Internet café industry in the future, and I want to take advantage of the beginning of this momentum to open a few more Internet cafes. You don't know that in the past, there was no need to pay for an Internet café business license, as long as you pay all the information and normal handling fees. In the past two months, the price of Internet café licenses has begun to rise, and a few days ago, Lao Wang next door opened one, and he had to add an additional 10,000 yuan in addition to the normal cost. I heard that it will go up next month!"

"Internet café license, starting to increase in price?"

Li Hao was taken aback.

Zhou Jincai nodded: "The normal cost of applying for a certificate is about more than 1,000 yuan, but now I have to pay an extra 10,000 yuan." ”

"Uncle Zhou, I'll give you a trick, keeping it is much more insurable than you opening an Internet café, and you can earn more, would you like to hear it?" Li Hao suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Zhou Jincai said curiously: "What trick?" Of course I'm willing to hear it. ”

He may not have listened to it before, but now he admires Li Hao's earning ability.

Li Hao said: "Hoarding Internet café licenses!"

Zhou Jincai said curiously: "What's the use of this thing? The Internet café license is just an Internet café cultural business license, and it is no different from an ordinary business license. ”

Li Hao said: "Uncle Zhou, let me ask you, why used to only cost 1,000 yuan for an Internet café license, but now it costs 11,000?

Zhou Jincai thought for a while and said: "Of course, it's because there are more and more people surfing the Internet, and the Internet café business is making money, so many people want to open an Internet café. ”

He understands the superficial truth and cause and effect, but he does not understand the deeper reasons behind the superficial truth.

"Uncle Zhou, if my estimation is correct, there will soon be relevant policies to restrict the issuance of Internet café licenses. The increase in the cost of applying for a license is the best sign. Taking advantage of the fact that the policy has not yet come out, you go to get a few more licenses in your hand, and sell them at a price, so as to ensure that you can make a lot of money!"

"Why are you so sure that there will be relevant policies coming out? The only one that doesn't come out? Won't all the licenses I have applied for become waste paper?"

"This ...... I'm just judging from all sorts of clues. Uncle Zhou, if you treat me as your own, dispel the idea of opening an Internet café and stock up on a few more Internet café licenses. ”

Li Hao himself is not sure when the policy of tightening the license of Internet cafes will come out, but he can be sure that this policy will definitely come out.

As soon as this policy comes out, Internet café licenses will become a sought-after commodity.

He remembered that in Jinling, an Internet café license was auctioned for more than 800,000 yuan, and he heard that the Internet café license in Shanghai and Beijing was even more expensive, and one or two million could not necessarily be bought.

If he remembers correctly, the Jiangzhou Internet café license was also sold to 300,000 when it was the most expensive. Zhou Meng opened four or five Internet cafes in a row, and owed a lot of money, a considerable part of which was the cost of the Internet café license.

Opening an Internet café now is a huge investment, and it will definitely go out of business if it can only last for three or five years at most. As long as you don't borrow money to expand blindly, you won't lose money, but you won't make any money.

Li Hao naturally didn't want the Zhou family to continue to walk the road of Internet cafes. People's hearts are greedy, there are still three or four years of golden age in Internet cafes, after the Zhou family opens the first branch and tastes the sweetness, they will definitely open the second and third stores, and then they will no longer be able to listen to the persuasion of others. Li Hao had to strangle this idea in the cradle.

Although Li Hao doesn't know when the license restriction policy will come out, judging from the price increase of Internet café licenses, it is not far from the policy coming out.

The price increase is only a precursor, and the policy will follow.

There is no doubt about it, it is only a matter of time.

Li Wansheng was also shocked when he heard his son's words, and said with a hint of criticism: "You little kid, don't speculate, if there is no policy of restricting Internet café licenses as you said, wouldn't it cause your Uncle Zhou to lose a lot of money?"

Fang Jiaoyun said dissatisfiedly: "How do you know that you are losing money? I think what my son said is very reasonable! Lao Zhou himself said that there are more and more people who want to open Internet cafes, and the state cannot let them go.

Li Hao had an idea and said, "Mom, do you really believe me?"

Fang Jiaoyun said without thinking: "That's a must!"

Li Hao said: "Then are you willing to invest a sum?"

Fang Jiaoyun was stunned and said, "Investment......? This ......"

Li Weisheng teased: "If you want to take out the money yourself, it will be distressed, right? Didn't you say just now that you believe in your son?"

"Okay! Vote for it! Son, Mom believes in you!"

Fang Jiaoyun gritted her teeth and patted her chest and said. After speaking, he immediately looked at Li Hao with a weak heart: "Son, are you sure? If you are sure, my mother will also take 10,000 yuan to buy a license!"

Li Hao smiled: "Mom." What's the use of one? At least ten! You will go and withdraw the money to Uncle Zhou tomorrow. 10,000 per license, then you can take 110,000 to Uncle Zhou and let him operate related matters. ”

"Son, are you sure you can make money?"

"I don't pit anyone's mother!"

"Okay!" Fang Jiaoyun gritted her teeth: "I'll pick it up early tomorrow morning!"

Zhou Jincai was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that Li Hao dared to let his mother invest more than 100,000 yuan to come in, he immediately made up his mind: "Okay! Then I will also invest 110,000 yuan! When the time comes, I will apply for 20 Internet café licenses, and we will each have 10 licenses! We believe that Xiaohao this time, anyway, this money is also earned back by him!"

The meal didn't end until half past eight, and all three of the Zhou family left drunk.

Fang Jiaoyun cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Dusheng and Li Hao sat in the living room watching TV.

Suddenly, Fang Jiaoyun dropped the dishes and chopsticks and shouted: "It's miserable! I forgot the most important thing!"

The father and son of the Li family were startled, and Li Dusheng turned around and said, "What are you yelling at night?"

Fang Jiaoyun said: "It's already past eight o'clock, I actually forgot to check the score!"

Li Dusheng patted his forehead: "I forgot about it too! At eight o'clock tonight, the college entrance examination score speech station has been opened!"

Li Hao said helplessly: "Dad, Mom, do you need to check again? I have said it hundreds of times, why don't you believe it?"

Fang Jiaoyun said: "I can't believe you said that you scored 608 points, but you said that you took 708, this is incredible, I'll check it again." ”
