Chapter 67 [Taking Over]
The reason why Chen Tianlang wanted to take over the game hall of the cotton mill was not only that the game hall could make special money, but also because of his nostalgia for the game hall.
I remember clearly, in the previous life, Chen Tianlang was not like now, he had the courage to take down the game hall as the boss, and in the previous life, he was completely taken down by the game hall and became a slave of the game hall.
Like many children in the previous life, when Chen Tianlang saw these game consoles for the first time, he was conquered by the virtual characters on the screen, and he screamed in his heart, it turns out that there are such fun things in the world.
At that time, Chen Tianlang was with his friends, talking about it in his mouth, looking forward to it in his heart, and even dreaming of it in his dreams. The humble arcade is the warmest house in the world, and the tiny in-game currency is the most precious thing in the world......
It was an era of arcade machines everywhere and all the "street" soldiers, men, women and children were common figures in the arcade hall, and the middle-aged uncles who were blessed, the young children who couldn't reach the keyboards, and most of the students with school bags constituted the most harmonious picture in the room.
It's not uncommon to see Big Mom kicking a child out of the arcade by the ear, and after a few minutes, he gets back to the carbine and continues to be busy with the buttons and joysticks. It was also an era of "never regretting the gradual widening of the belt, and making people haggard for the game".
When the level was not high at the beginning, in order to play a few more games, I would save change from Chinese food every day, and the game became the most delicious spiritual food. The exhilaration and tension brought by the game process, the honor and achievements brought by the game result are nothing compared, and even now, Chen Tianlang still can't forget the initial emotion brought by the arcade game.
Of course, as a person who has come over, Chen Tianlang still has an idea, which is to reform this game hall.
First of all, this game hall was integrated into a "luxury video game city", creating a luxury concept that made it different from other game halls in Nandu.
Secondly, since we want to build a luxury video game city, the software and hardware facilities in it must be matched to keep up, and this is what Chen Tianlang wants. Fruits, drinks, meals, to keep up with the service, tobacco, alcohol, and food should also be on the agenda.
Finally, since it is to be different from other game halls, it is necessary to occupy the highest field of gaming --- have video games that other game halls do not have.
Chen Tianlang is very confident in this, after all, he is a person from the past, and he knows what arcade games were the most popular and popular in the previous life. So after taking over the game hall, after renovating the game hall, he will go to other places to buy a number of new large arcade machines.
Thinking about the popular arcade games in his previous life, Chen Tianlang rode a 28 bicycle all the way to the cotton mill, and at first glance, the door of the game hall was closed and sealed.
Chen Tianlang said in his heart, this is already Lao Tzu's, and he is also a bird.
Directly unlock and push the door.
Looking at it, the door of this game hall seems to be small, but the space inside is very large, there are three floors up and down, only the lower one floor is open; the upper two floors should be where Diao Wenbin and his group eat, drink and have fun, there is an iron door locked, Chen Tianlang has no key, and there is no tool to open the rough lock, and he can't go up for a while.
The lower floor is about 80 square meters, and there are a total of 23 game consoles, forming a U-shaped distribution against the wall.
At the entrance is the bar, in addition to being responsible for exchanging game currency, it also sells some cigarettes, drinks, snacks or something, like what "Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles", "Kiss Shrimp Crackers", "Figs" and "Jumping Candy", etc., are placed on simple wooden shelves, stacked neatly, but I don't know if it has expired.
Well, this bar will be replaced in the future, it's too unluxurious.
Chen Tianlang had a calculation in his heart.
Look at those game consoles again, they are basically new, the handles are also very flexible, and the game consoles are pasted with game wallpapers, such as "Three Kingdoms", "Dinosaur Kombat", "Brontosaurus", "Round Table Samurai", "Double Dragon", "Punisher", and "Metal Slug" and "Captain Iron Hook", etc., which are more popular arcade games at the moment.
Chen Tianlang looked at it and didn't find the most profitable "Mac", which is a bit strange. You know, there are one or two such machines in many game halls, this kind of machine loves to play many people, and it is also the easiest to eat coins, and one can earn at least one or twenty yuan a day.
But at this time, he didn't think much about it, and after groping for it, Chen Tianlang saw that his hands were all black, it turned out that the time when they were seized was too old, and the game consoles in the hall were dusty.
Chen Tianlang himself is a very clean person, the most can't see the dust, immediately found a broom to clean the floor of the entire hall first, and then found a green plastic basin, took the rag of the bar, and went out of the game hall to the fruit store next door to the faucet to pick up the water back.
"Let's go!"
Immediately wiped against the bar, and the twenty-three stand-up game consoles.
Basin after basin of black water, twisted and twisted rags, until the entire bar, all the game consoles were wiped clean by him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Crossing his waist and looking at the clean and bright game hall with satisfaction, Chen Tianlang was about to rest for a while, but he looked up and saw the "Chunlan" old-fashioned ceiling fan on the ceiling, thinking that this has entered June, seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, before the air conditioning is in place, these ceiling fans are about to be used.
Glancing around, distressed, there was no ladder.
Chen Tianlang took a box of five-cent "thatched house" from the counter, thought about it, put down the "thatched house" again, and took it into six or seven "Hongta Mountain".
When he came to the fruit shop next door, Chen Tianlang saw that the male shopkeeper was busy cutting pineapples with a knife, then making pineapples into chunks, inserting them with bamboo skewers and selling them in a transparent glass jar. The glass jar is filled with clean water, which can maintain the freshness of the pineapple, and the peel will change color when it is saved.
Chen Tianlang smiled and stuffed the cigarette over, saying that he was grateful for borrowing water to mop the floor just now.
The male shopkeeper originally complained about Chen Tianlang using his own water, but he didn't expect people to send such expensive cigarettes, so he was too polite, and said that the water was not worth much, and he would use it in the future.
Chen Tianlang personally lit a cigarette for him, and then asked if there was a ladder, borrowed a ladder to use it, and wiped the ceiling fan.
The male shopkeeper didn't say a word immediately, and didn't need Chen Tianlang to personally help carry the aluminum alloy herringbone ladder to the game hall.
This ceiling fan has not been used for about a year, it is dirty on it, and the roaring dust is sprinkled down when it is wiped, Chen Tianlang is not prepared, he is made to face and face, and he sneezes a few times.
Finally climbed the ladder, held his breath, and wiped all the three ceiling fans with those dirty ashes, Chen Tianlang felt relieved.
Coming down from the ladder, Chen Tianlang fluttered his hair with his hands, and the dust flew everywhere, it was really dirty.
After returning the ladder, Chen Tianlang took another basin of water by the way, and then went to a nearby store to buy a bottle of shampoo.
There are many brands of shampoos in this era, such as "bee flower", "shou wu", "ginseng shampoo", "apple shampoo" and so on. In addition, the packaging of shampoos in this era is very simple, and many of them are transparent and genuine.
Therefore, Chen Tianlang was not very picky, and bought a bottle of "Shou Wu" casually, which cost almost two yuan and three.
After taking the shampoo, Chen Tianlang brought the basin outside, put it on the high stool, and then buried himself in washing.
Now in June, the weather is starting to be hot, and it is very comfortable to wash your hair with cold water. Just stuffing my head into a basin and rubbing my hair with my hands is still a little too uncomfortable. At least not at the barbershop, it's refreshing to ask people to help wash your hair.
Just when Chen Tianlang was pouting his butt and washing his hair with cold water at the door of the game hall, a jingle bell and a pleasant bicycle bell sound came, as if someone was deliberately reminding him that a guest was coming.
