Chapter 21: Fate
With my father's strong support, Gu Bei's resolution to open an Internet café was not too difficult to be voted on.
As the initiator of the project and the investor, Gu Bei successfully obtained the planning right, first of all, the scale of the Internet café can not be small, at least 200 computers, as for the address of the Internet café, Gu Bei proposed to choose the opposite of the No. 7 Middle School in Shilin City, that is, the Xinmadao block of Shilin City, the Xinmadao block is some one or twenty black Internet cafes, so far there is no decent Internet café, plus it is near the No. 7 Middle School of the city, the flow of people is very large, it is very suitable to open there, in addition, Gu Bei knows that it will not take a year, that piece will build the Xinmadao Pedestrian Street, and become the commercial center of Shilin City in the future, so there is no need to worry about the source of customers。
As for the choice of computer, it was also Gu Bei's decision, no way, my father and mother didn't understand computers. Applying for an Internet café license, dealing with industry and commerce, taxation, and police stations, as well as renting a house to pull water and electricity, Gu's father Gu Chengming recommended himself to do it, and Gu Bei pushed the boat and said that your motorcycle rental business can take a break.
Dad Gu smiled and shook his head, full of relief.
As for the start-up capital for opening an Internet café, it takes about 80,000 yuan for wiring and decoration, 200 computers for bulk purchase, at least 2,500 yuan for one computer according to the minimum cost, about 20,000 yuan for servers, 10,000 yuan for moving special line broadband, plus the cost of renting a store to recruit network management, the total investment of almost 800,000 yuan.
This money is not a big problem, Gu Bei can afford it.
Immediately after the New Year, the purchase of computers, the installation and decoration of Internet cafes, the connection of electricity to the Internet, the application for licenses and so on have been postponed until the end of the year, and the task before the year is to get the façade of the Internet café.
As for asking the second aunt Yu Feng to manage the Internet café, the parents agreed, in their eyes, Yu Feng is not only shrewd and capable, but also a good businessman, and has no character, for so many years, Yu Feng has never given up taking care of the second brother with uremia, and it is not easy to support the broken family alone, and now Gu Bei has paid for the medical expenses, and the second brother Li Guohua can do a kidney transplant, but they can't help for a while, let the second sister-in-law help take care of the Internet café, she can also have a stable income.
******
January 22nd was the day when Li Guohua had a kidney transplant, and Gu Bei's family went that day.
Before the operation, the second aunt Yu Feng and cousin Li Jin were very nervous, on the contrary, Li Guohua was very relaxed, lingering in the ghost gate for a long time, he had a kind of life and death downbeat mentality, and even joked before entering the operating room: "Don't worry, my life is very big, besides, Gu Bei spent so much money, I can't die if I want to die now." ”
The second uncle's words of comfort to everyone were really unreassuring, and they were all very worried, and only Gu Bei could still smile and say: "Second uncle, you said last time that you would wait for me to bring my girlfriend back to show you, you must fulfill this agreement." ”
"Okay!" the second uncle nodded heavily, and was pushed into the operating room by the nurse.
The next time was very difficult, Gu's father walked around the passage of the operating room with his hands behind his back, Gu's mother and second aunt Yu Feng Li Jin sat on the chair, Gu Bei lit a cigarette and stood under the railing, as a reborn person, he can predict the future, he knows the fate of many people, he can look down on all living beings with a detached attitude, but at this moment, he feels his insignificance, because he has changed the fate of his second uncle, but he does not know what the end of his fate is.
Time passed silently, until the sunlight spilled in through the glass window became trance, from the brightness of the afternoon to the warmth of dusk, the red light in front of the door of the operating room for more than six hours finally went out, the nurse pushed the unconscious Li Guohua out, when the attending doctor Yuan Chao pulled down the mask and nodded to indicate that the operation was successful, the second aunt Yu Feng and Li Jin shed tears.
Gu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed a wheelchair with his father to escort his second uncle back to the ward.
After returning to the ward, the previous depressing atmosphere was swept away, and everyone was extremely happy, sitting in front of the hospital bed and talking about the difficulties of these years, and also began to look forward to the life of the second uncle after he recovered. At seven o'clock in the evening, the second uncle's anesthesia had not subsided, and he was in a coma, and the family had not eaten the grain of rice for most of the day.
Gu Bei went to a nearby specialty restaurant called "Shui Miao Family" alone to book a private room, ordered seven or eight special dishes, paid the money, and went back to the ward, so that the hungry parents, second aunt and Li Jin went to Shui Miao's house for dinner, and he came to take care of the second uncle.
Gu Bei's small gesture made Gu's mother moved and happy, this kid is too sensible.
At first, Yu Feng didn't agree to let Gu Bei stay alone, Gu's mother persuaded her a few words, and finally pulled Yu Feng out of the ward, and came to Shui Miao's house for dinner with Gu's father and Li Jin.
Shui Miao's family is a well-known high-end specialty Chinese restaurant in Shilin City, Gu Bei orders the most expensive specialties, Li Jin is so big, he has never come to such a high-end restaurant to eat, but Li Jin picked up a bowl of rice three times or two, and got up and asked the waiter to pack a meal.
Gu's mother said, "Xiao Jin, why are you eating so fast, you haven't eaten so many good dishes yet." ”
Li Jin said: "I brought food to my cousin, but he hasn't eaten yet." ”
Gu's mother thought that this girl was really lovely, and hurriedly asked the waiter to pack two dishes that Gu Bei loved to eat, and when Li Jin left the box, she suddenly remembered about opening an Internet café, so she said to her second sister-in-law Yu Feng: "Now that I am laid off, I always have to find something to do, Gu Bei, this kid suggested that I open an Internet café, a large Internet café with more than 200 computers, second sister-in-law, you are in business, do you think this thing is reliable?"
"Reliable, I think young people like to surf the Internet, young people are the main consumer force, as long as you can operate an Internet café, you will definitely make a profit. Because Li Guohua's kidney transplant was successful, Yu Feng was in a very good mood, and talked about his business experience at the dinner table: "It's just that computers are not cheap, one will cost two or three thousand yuan, sister, you have to open a large Internet café with 200 computers, plus renting a house for water and electricity and broadband, the start-up capital will be seven or eight hundred thousand, which is a lot of money." ”
"Start-up capital is not a problem, Gu Beiban magazine has made a lot of money. When she said this, Gu's mother was very proud, and her son was not happy if he had the ability to be a mother: "The problem now is that my brother-in-law and I don't know how to open an Internet café, second sister-in-law, you can do business, or come and help me do it, as an Internet café manager, it is easy to talk about salary and treatment, and it is all my own family." ”
Yu Fengzheng is worried about this, although her husband's kidney transplant was successful, but in the next year, he will need one or two thousand yuan per month for medical expenses, which is also a lot of money. And the convenience store she opened is not in a good location, and the business is naturally not good, barely earning a living money, and she can't afford her husband's medical expenses.
Now, my sister's family is going to open a large Internet café, and I invite her to be the manager of the Internet café, my sister's family is so good, if she can do a good job in business, she will definitely not be disadvantaged, on the other hand, nephew Gu Bei paid 260,000 yuan for her husband's kidney transplant operation, which is an astronomical amount that she can't afford, and there is no reason to refuse this kindness alone.
After thinking about it like this, Yu Feng nodded and agreed without hesitation.
