Guan Qiu, who was just about to leave, turned on the machine again and went to the surfing area upstairs.

Just when he heard the owner of the Internet café complaining that the Cultural Affairs Bureau had come to urge them to apply for a certificate again, he suddenly remembered something.

In the middle of 2002, an Internet café in Yanjing was set on fire, resulting in a major safety accident in which dozens of people died and more than a dozen people were seriously injured.

It was after this incident that the state became more and more strict in its supervision of Internet cafes, and began to crack down on black Internet cafes operating without a license. Subsequently, the price of Internet café business licenses skyrocketed.

Guan Qiu clearly remembers one thing: at the beginning of 03, the Cultural Bureau came to ask the scarecrow Internet café to apply for a business license, but the boss didn't do it, because he needed to pay more than 1,000 yuan.

At that time, the boss said to the people of the Cultural Affairs Bureau: "If no one else does it, why do you want me to do it?"

Soon SARS came, and the matter was over.

When SARS passed, people from the Cultural Affairs Bureau came to urge them several times, but the boss just didn't do it.

In December 03, the Lucheng Cultural Bureau began to completely rectify the Internet café industry. Internet cafes with incomplete licenses, inconsistent fire and sanitation conditions, and substandard software and hardware facilities have been shut down one after another.

Finally, the boss reacted in time, asked someone to find a relationship, and spent about 20,000 yuan to get the license.

As Internet café licenses become more and more difficult to obtain, like Lucheng, at this time, all the licenses will be less than 2,000 yuan, and by the middle of next year, just one license can be sold for 200,000-300,000 yuan.

The owner of the scarecrow Internet café took the Internet café out at that time, and 60 rotten machines and a license were sold for 400,000 yuan. This is what the owner of the Internet café told him personally.

20,000 licenses, 300,000 yuan after removing the machine, the scarecrow boss was so happy that he took the money to open a black Internet café elsewhere. He thought a gust of wind from above had passed.

But soon he regretted it. This gust of wind lasted for four years, and I have the impression that his Internet café was closed every day, and he had to say a "code" when he entered the door, and it didn't take long for it to close down.

The price of Lucheng Internet café license has been rising, 400,000, 500,000, 600,000, and even once rushed to nearly 1 million. The boss's bowels were blue.

But now, this is an opportunity for him.

03 years of Lucheng economy has not fully recovered, and is a county-level city, the implementation of the policy has been delayed, as long as the policy at the end of the year before the tightening of some licenses, wait until May next year to sell, a quick decision, with the money earned to the future prosperous area loan to buy more than a dozen suites, to achieve the previous life as a charter public desire.

Then engage in other side hustles in the middle, and wait for the opportunity to make a fortune with peace of mind.

As for using the Internet café as a cash cow and flowing in a long stream, he didn't think about it at all.

Not to mention that the requirements for the hardware facilities of Internet cafes will become more and more stringent in the future, and it will be very troublesome to operate such entertainment venues themselves, and after the policies are severe, the public security, fire protection, industry and commerce, taxation and other departments will use various names such as inspection fees, management fees, and audit fees to fight the autumn breeze and work hard.

As long as he has the capital and has more ways to make money, he won't hang himself on a rope!

……

Guan Qiu searched carefully on the Internet and quickly found relevant news, which happened in the early morning of June 16 last year.

The time was right, Guan Qiu searched again, and soon found the relevant policies of the Lucheng government recently: it is necessary to strengthen the training of the quality of Internet café employees, and rectify the relevant Internet cafes that do not meet the requirements within a time limit......

"Rectification within a time limit", instead of "suspending business for rectification" and "banning", which made Guan Qiu breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the time, the document notice came out at the beginning of this month, indicating that it is in the guidance stage and has not yet begun to strictly enforce the law. Pressed for time.

Guan Qiu got off the plane directly.

When he went out, a wave of heat hit him, but Guan Qiu didn't realize it, and his mind was thinking about the Internet café license.

The white wolf with empty gloves can't play, so he can only play with a small one.

But the problem is that it is not so easy to get an Internet café license, you have to have a business place, you have to buy machines, buy tables, chairs and benches, pull special lines, unified management procedures of Internet cafes, etc., all of which cost money!

Based on his experience in his previous life, rent, tables and chairs, and special lines are good to say, 10,000 yuan is enough to get them. Anyway, he's mainly for decks, and he doesn't really have to rely on Internet cafes to make money, so it doesn't matter what the location of the Internet café is, the environment, or whatever, even if he loses, he's not afraid.

The main thing is that the machine is more troublesome.

Even if you buy a computer that is about to be scrapped and make a look and deal with the inspection, a set of at least 1,000-1,200 yuan in the second-hand market is now required, and according to the minimum requirement of 30 units in a "regular Internet café", it will be at least 30,000 here.

Get it all right, an Internet café costs 4-50,000 yuan. 8-10 companies are opened in advance, with a principal of at least 400,000 yuan.

400,000, he doesn't even have 4,000 on him now.

"Money, money, ......"

Guan Qiu scratched his ears and cheeks all the way, passed in front of a hotel outside the residential area, went in and asked the price, 100 overnight, he immediately retreated again, and changed to an air-conditioned hotel, 50 yuan.

I was just about to take a shower, but I didn't have any clothes, so I went out and bought a set of summer clothes and shoes and socks.

150 pieces are gone again.

After taking a shower, lying on the bed scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks to find money, I don't know why, Guan Qiu was like an epiphany, and suddenly laughed again.

Rome wasn't built in one day. I was in a hurry on the first day of rebirth, it's a big deal not to engage in an Internet café license, and I still have a lot of money to do something else, why hang myself on a tree.

Go to bed!

…………

In 03, the center of Lucheng City, compared with the spotless roads, uniformly planned shops and rows of high-rise buildings in later generations, has less of the elegance of a big city and more of a down-to-earth leisurely and leisurely atmosphere.

Since it was Saturday, there were a lot of people visiting the city center to go shopping. At 9 o'clock in the morning, several commercial streets with horizontal and vertical hooks near Renmin Road were already overcrowded.

At 9:10, a taxi stopped at the door of an antique noodle shop diagonally opposite the old mall, the door opened, and a girl wearing a peaked cap, a printed white T-shirt + a mid-waist striped skirt, and white canvas shoes walked out.

Under the girl's cap is a refreshing and clean goose egg face, with big eyes, red cheeks, and white skin like fat, as if you can get out of the water when you pinch it.

At the moment, there are headphones stuffed in his ears, and one end of the earphone cable is connected to the black canvas bag in his hand, revealing a youthful and lively atmosphere, and the men passing by frequently look sideways.

After getting out of the car, the girl walked briskly into the noodle shop. After ordering something at the front desk, I found an empty seat to sit down, then took out a Samsung flip phone from my bag and started texting.

After a while, it may be a message, the girl picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, and suddenly the cheeks under the brim of the hat bulged, and she snorted angrily: "It's really unbearable to let this girl wait for you!"

Five minutes later, the waiter came over with noodles, and just at this time the girl saw a motorcycle parked at the door, and the boy in a T-shirt and shorts behind the car came down to pay for the bill, and then quickly went up the steps.

I don't know why, the girl subconsciously felt that the other party was the person she was waiting for.

Playing tricks, the girl took out her mobile phone and cut off the battery board, then lowered her head and pretended to eat noodles, and secretly observed each other.

I saw the boy who came in, her eyes swept around the store, and when the other party looked at her, she immediately lowered her head to eat noodles.

Immediately after, the boy took PHS to text and then make another call.

After no result, I found a place to sit down, and after saying something to the waiter, I waited there.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes......

About ten minutes later, the boy took out his phone, looked at it, made another call, and then got up to leave.

"It's so stingy, I can't wait for only ten minutes. The girl in the cap muttered, but got up and walked over......
