In 1998, when U.S. President Bilton visited China, he visited a public computer store in Shanghai, talked to netizens, and praised "this is really a good place."

The so-called computer house is the original name of the Internet café.

When future generations mention the development of China's Internet, they will always mention the second horse and the third portal, but in fact, the owners of large and small Internet cafes headed by Wang Yuesheng are the biggest contributors to the take-off of China's Internet.

Li Yuan had seen a set of data in his previous life.

In 1997, there were 620,000 Internet users in China, and only 2.45 percent of urban households had computers – most of them were not connected – but by 2001 there were 33.7 million.

Li Yuan recently walked all over the streets and alleys of Yingzhou, and found that there is no real Internet in Yingzhou, and the number of computer houses is only a handful, most of which are in a state of unlicensed operation, and the environment is even more dirty and messy.

……

Li Yuan couldn't stand Qiao Ruonan's interrogation, and revealed the idea of opening an Internet café.

"You mean the computer room?" Qiao Ruonan asked.

"It's an Internet café, an Internet café where you can browse the web and send and receive e-mails. ”

"Internet café, that's an interesting word. Qiao Ruonan asked again: "Do I need to rent a building to open an Internet café?"

"The old building of the city technical school is only three floors, and I still think the place is small. Li Yuan said, "Why don't you go and see it first?"

"Okay. ”

Qiao Ruonan is also a character who does what he says.

Li Yuan asked Ma Nan to bring the computer and the website-related materials prepared in advance, and several people went downstairs together.

Guan Xuedao still had a meeting, and he drove his broken Santana and left first.

Qiao Ruonan opened the BMW door and turned around to find Li Yuan straddled a Jialing motorcycle.

"What kind of motorcycle are you riding in the cold?"

Li Yuan put on leather gloves and said, "You and Ma Nan will go to the city government in a while, and I won't go, will you come back on foot?"

Qiao Ruonan shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.

……

Shen Zhuyin had never been on a motorcycle, and he wanted to experience the "feeling of freedom", but he regretted it when he drove the car.

The down jacket does not block the wind, the cold air goes straight to the bones, Shen Zhuyin hugged Li Yuan's waist, his body was tightly attached to his back, his mind was full of cold, and there was no feeling of flying freely.

Fortunately, the city technical school is not far away, which ended this painful experience.

"Regret it, call you disobedient!"

Qiao Ruonan laughed at her without sympathy.

"I don't regret it!" Shen Zhuyin didn't admit it, seeing an oil stain on the snow-white down jacket, he regretted it to death.

……

Yingzhou Technical School was established in the early 80s to meet the employment needs of oil units. In the past few years, the number of jobs in oil units has been saturated, and the tide of layoffs has caught up, and the unemployed young people in the units have grabbed a large handful, and it is even more impossible to recruit workers from outside, and technical schools have no choice but to close their doors due to this impact.

Although it is a building along the street and there is a fence wall outside the teaching building, which is difficult for Li Yuan, the two ladies can't follow him over the wall, so they stand outside the wall and introduce.

"This is the front building, and there are six classrooms on each floor. There is also a dormitory building in the back, which is now the staff dormitory of the telecommunications bureau......"

"No wonder you're here. Qiao Ruonan heard that the telecommunications bureau was nearby, so he knew why Li Yuan chose here.

"It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. ”

"There's no one in there?"

"The school has been closed for more than a year, and the teachers have been laid off and diverted. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I plan to open an Internet café on the first floor, an online school on the second floor, and an office space on the third floor. ”

"You can't use such a large area at first, can a classroom be 60 square meters?"

"It's bigger, about 80 square meters. Li Yuan said: "There won't be too many machines when you come up, but the venue must always be set aside in advance, and the empty rooms will either be empty first, and you can rent them out if you have a suitable choice." ”

"Rent it to?"

"In addition to the Internet café on the first floor, you can also sell computers, audio-visual products and teaching materials. The online school on the second floor will not only teach computer knowledge. I heard that the college entrance examination is going to be reformed, and the pressure of competition will become greater and greater in the future, and the level of teachers in the technical school is still good. As long as the publicity is in place, the number of applicants will not be small. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan squeezed his eyes at Qiao Ruonan, "When you promote the website later, it doesn't matter if you sell the website later, you must persuade them to accept our training, this is a golden signboard......

……

Qiao Ruonan and Ma Nan wanted to visit Jingyang, the secretary of the municipal party committee, but Shen Zhuyin refused to go and asked Li Yuan to take her to play.

There's really nothing fun in Yingzhou at this time.

Li Yuan took Shen Zhuyin to eat donkey meat and asked her what she wanted to do next, and she said shopping.

Sure enough, as long as it's a woman, there's no one who doesn't like shopping.

The commercial street of Yingzhou is centered on two department stores, with the Drum Tower in the west and the Bell Tower in the east, about 1.5 kilometers.

Today is not the weekend, the streets are deserted, and Li Yuan carries Shen Zhuyin straight to Xinbai.

Xinbai is the abbreviation of the new department store, which was built in 93 years and is one of the main places for Yingzhou citizens to hang out.

In the department store in '98, there weren't many international brands, and the first floor was not filled with cosmetics, but with all kinds of sweets and pastries, which were so sweet that they were greasy.

Shen Zhuyin seemed to have her own navigation radar, and as soon as she entered the mall, she went straight to the women's clothing area on the third floor, but unfortunately she was destined to be disappointed, Yingzhou's clothing style was far worse than Changshan.

After shopping three times in and three out of the women's clothing area, Shen Zhuyin, who found nothing, ran to the shoes and hats area again.

"Please find me a pair of size 36. ”

Shen Zhuyin held up a pair of black high heels and said to the salesperson.

Li Yuan couldn't help but say: "Wearing high heels affects physical development. ”

"Besides, I'm not short, even if I don't grow up. ”

Shen Zhuyin is now about 1.65 meters, and she is almost 1.7 meters when she wears high heels, which is about the same as Li Yuan, she turned around in place and almost broke her foot.

"Do you want to buy it?" asked Li Yuan.

"Forget it, you can't wear it to school. ”

Shen Zhuyin reluctantly took off his shoes and changed them back into sneakers.

……

was strolling, and two women came over on the opposite side, which were actually Guo Hua's mother Jiang Ping and Xu Xiaowen's mother Fang Xuemin.

They actually know each other?

Li Yuan thought about it, and pulled Shen Zhuyin, wanting to avoid them.

"Li Yuan!"

Jiang Ping's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Li Yuan at a glance, she beckoned to him.

You can't pretend not to see it now, Li Yuan sighed slightly and greeted him.

"Aunt Jiang, Aunt Fang. Li Yuanchong nodded at the two.

"Hmm. Fang Xuemin responded coldly.

Jiang Ping was much more enthusiastic, and asked gossipingly: "Li Yuan, you are also coming to the mall? This is your friend?"

Shen Zhuyin greeted generously: "Hello Auntie, my name is Shen Zhuyin, and I am Li Yuan's classmate." ”

Jiang Ping was a little surprised: "Huh, haven't you heard Guo Hua mention you?"

Li Yuan explained: "Student Shen just transferred to another school, and he didn't have time to report to the school. ”

"I said. Jiang Ping suddenly realized, and said to Shen Zhuyin enthusiastically: "My son Guo Hua is also in your class, and he will come to play at home when he has time in the future!"

"Students still have to focus on their studies. ”

Fang Xuemin said lightly and walked straight forward.

It's not a good chat.

Jiang Ping smiled awkwardly and chased after him.

……

"Who is she?" Shen Zhuyin pointed at Fang Xuemin and asked in a low voice.

"The mom of my classmates. ”

"I thought it was the teacher. Shen Zhuyin breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Female classmate?"

"How do you know?"

"Just look at her face, did you ever bully her daughter?"

"Of course not, who do you think of me?"

"Then why is her attitude so bad?"

"Who do you ask me and I ask? She's always had a prejudice against me, but I've seen her twice, and I don't remember where I offended her. ”

Li Yuan was helpless.

He and Fang Xuemin met twice, once at Yingzhou Hotel and once at Xu Xiaowen's house.

Needless to say the previous time, the next time he just came back from Changshan, he and Zhao Min went to visit the sick Xu Xiaowen together, and felt that Fang Xuemin's attitude towards him was very bad, in Zhao Min's words, "I came to eat fruit myself, and I didn't even have a glass of water to drink with you."

"Her daughter is beautiful, isn't she?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"You answer me first. ”

"Well, it's pretty ......."

"That's it!" Shen Zhuyin looked like I had seen through the truth, "You must have pestered her and let her mother see it!"

"Where is this? Li Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, and turned his head a little weakly, thinking that this would not be the case, right?

"It's useless if you don't admit it," Shen Zhuyin puffed out his cheeks and said angrily: "You boys love to revolve around beautiful girls!"

Li Yuan thought it was funny and teased her: "You are also very beautiful, is there anyone around you?"

Shen Zhuyin asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" Otherwise, why would I want to transfer schools?"

Li Yuan was surprised: "There really is!" and then pretended to be regretful and said, "I thought you were coming at me." ”

"Don't stink and be beautiful!" Shen Zhuyin glanced at him and complained: "You don't know, there was a boy in my previous school who was very annoying, pestering him every day, like a leper dog, I told the teacher, and the teacher didn't care about his ......."

"No, your teacher doesn't know what's going on at home?"

"Yes. ”

"It doesn't matter if you know?" Li Yuan's eyes widened, "Who is so bold that even the granddaughter of the provincial party secretary dares to entangle?"

"There is not only one provincial party secretary in the country. ”

"They're at home too?"

"No, his parents seem to run a company. ”

"Open a company, isn't it, do business dare to argue with officials?"

"Who knows, maybe there are people in other families who are officials. Anyway, I told my grandfather, and he told me to leave him alone......"

"What's his name?"

"Zhao Hui. ”

……

As he was talking, Li Yuan's mobile phone rang.

Li Yuan answered the phone, and before he could speak, he heard Guo Hua say hurriedly: "Yuan Shao, where are you now?" There is a group of people blocking the school gate, saying that they are looking for Zhao Min......

"Who?"

"I don't know, I don't look like a good person......"

"Got it, I'll be there soon!"
