Chapter 13 Geographical Advantages
In February 2000, Chu City had just launched ISDN services, but due to data traffic problems, except for a few computer rooms that had been transformed into semi-network and semi-computer rooms, most of the computer rooms still did not provide network services. However, the computer game room is so profitable that it also stimulates most families who want to make money, and computer game rooms have sprung up all over Chu City, but most of them are still family workshops during this period, and they only have a few computers. The real large-scale net city will not appear in Chu City until 1 year later.
Lin Feng's computer game room now has 7 computers, but there have been eight new ones in Liaoyuan District, including Lin Feng's one, a total of nine computer rooms, and the supply and demand of the entire community tend to be saturated, but you can still see that there are stores that have begun to decorate and prepare for the opening of a new computer room.
Lin Feng knew that in another month, the computer room in the urban area of Chu City would start a price war, and the price of computers per hour would drop rapidly from the current 3 yuan per hour to 2 yuan per hour. For this fierce price war, Lin Feng has long thought of a countermeasure - relocation.
Lin Feng was preparing to relocate the computer lab to the Blue Special Zone, far from the city center. It may seem remote, but in the following years, it became the most popular place for Internet cafes. Because there is a university, two secondary schools, and a primary school, the location is very good. Although there are now seven or eight Internet cafes in the Blue Special Zone, they are all small Internet cafes, and the maximum number is only 10 computers, which is simply not enough under the needs of a large number of students.
Chulian Bookstore is the only large-scale bookstore in the Blue Special Economic Zone, with two floors and a size of nearly 1,000 square meters. However, although there are many schools here, business is not good. The main reason is that the bookstore's genuine books are too expensive, and many students would rather take a taxi to the pirated book market in the city to buy books than buy them here. After all, the price of buying a genuine book can buy three pirated books. Moreover, both are almost identical in appearance and content, so for students who have no income, they will naturally choose to go to the pirated book market to buy books.
Chu Zhixuan, the owner of Chu Lian Bookstore, gritted his teeth and persevered for a year, he had to admit that he had lost his eyes this time and failed to invest. If you want to transfer the façade and be a charter company dedicated to collecting rent, you can hang up the sign for sale on the façade for more than a month, and no one has come to take over. During this period, there were also people who wanted to take over, but only rented the first floor. And Chu Zhixuan wants to rent out the two floors together, otherwise if you rent one floor, who will rent the second floor. Because of this, the owner of Chu Lian's bookstore is still holding on to the bookstore.
"Boss, may I ask if your store is rented?" Lin Feng took a fancy to this store at a glance, this geographical location is really good, close to the university, and in the middle of the middle school and primary school, if you open an online city, it will definitely make money. Two years later, there was indeed a foreign boss who opened an Internet city here and became a leader in the Internet café industry in Chu City.
"Are you ......" Chu Zhixuan looked at Lin Feng with some suspicion.
Lin Feng was too young, and Chu Zhixuan had to wonder if he was here to make trouble.
"I want to take down this shop, I don't know if the boss is there?" Lin Feng also knew that he was too young, and he was not an old man like Auden (the champion of NBA2007), and it was normal to be suspicious.
"Uh... , I'm the boss, sir, please come in and talk. Chu Zhixuan hurriedly invited Lin Feng into the reception room. As long as he can get the store out, it doesn't matter if he is young or not.
"Boss, why don't you show me first. Lin Feng was anxious to see how the space was arranged, he had his own ideas, hoping that the layout here would meet his liking, and it would be best not to decorate it again. No way, funds are limited!
"I'm sorry, I want to ask first, do you want to take both floors down, or just one layer?" Chu Zhixuan is also proficient, if Lin Feng only has one layer, he won't bother to take Lin Feng to see it.
"Both floors are disced. Lin Feng's words made Chu Zhixuan overjoyed, and he hurriedly closed the bookstore and led Lin Feng all the way to visit.
After a round of visiting, Lin Feng was very satisfied, not only the layout of the house was reasonable, but also it was only decorated last year, and he almost didn't need to decorate it anymore. I just don't know what the price is.
"The rent is 12,000 yuan a month, but you have to pay a deposit of 100,000 yuan first. Chu Zhixuan's words made Lin Feng stunned.
12,000 yuan under the two-story store of nearly 1,000 square meters is not expensive, this store should be at least 200,000 yuan in the city center. However, for Lin Feng, the main problem is the deposit of 100,000. Lin Feng now only has a total of 250,000 cash on hand, and after paying a deposit of 100,000, there is not much left.
Lin Feng calculated that if he paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan, he could only add 25 computers at most, plus the original 7, it would only be 32 computers. And this two-storey storefront can fit up to 500 computers, which is a bit of a space at that time. But if he doesn't take it down now, Lin Feng is afraid that as soon as he opens the computer room, he will be seen making money in the computer room and taking it down, and then Lin Feng will regret it. And for the sake of future development, it is also beneficial to take stock here as soon as possible.
"Boss......" Lin Feng can only communicate with Chu Zhixuan now to see if he can waive the deposit, after all, he opens a computer room by himself, and the computers are all here, and he can't run if he wants to.
"Boss, I don't have enough funds on hand now, see if you can not pay the deposit for the time being. Lin Feng asked.
"No, how can this work, if something happens to you and you run away, who will I go to. Chu Zhixuan shook his head again and again, resolutely denying.
"Boss, how can I run, I'm also from Chu City, you see, this is my ID card, where can I run." Lin Feng took out his ID card, "Otherwise, I will temporarily deposit my ID card with you, and you will return your ID card to me when you pay the deposit one day." ”
"This ......" Chu Zhixuan was a little hesitant, after all, no one had come to take over the store for a month, and he also wanted to throw away this burden as soon as possible and go home to be a charter man.
"Boss, everyone is from Chu City, and I really want to take down this store, so you can do it a favor! I will definitely not mess around and cause you any trouble." "Lin Feng strikes while the iron is hot.
"Brother, brother, I'm older than you, so I'll call you brother. Boss Chu Lian groaned and said, "Brother, I can see that you sincerely want to buy this store, and I also sincerely want to rent it out, you give me a word of truth to my brother, what business are you going to do?"
Boss Chu Lian didn't know what Lin Feng was used for, so he had to ask clearly.
"Brother, I won't tell you, I want to open an Internet city. Lin Feng thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide, and he was not afraid that Chu Zhixuan would not rent it after hearing about it.
"Netcity, little brother, good eyesight. Chu Zhixuan praised Lin Feng's vision again and again, making Lin Feng inexplicable.
"Hehe, brother, I have long wanted to open an Internet café, but I am afraid of opening a bookstore, so I have never dared to open it. Chu Zhixuan smiled bitterly, "Brother, to tell you the truth, the students around me have been muttering that there are few Internet cafes around the school, and there is always no opportunity, and you will definitely make money by opening an Internet city." ”
"Hehe, thanks to my brother's words, I wonder if my brother can temporarily waive this deposit?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Brother, okay, who told us to fall in love? Chu Zhixuan really doesn't want to maintain this bookstore anymore, and Lin Feng's appearance is really harmless to humans and animals, so it is reassuring to see it, "But brother, this ID card brother still has to keep it first." ”
"Well, of course, of course. Lin Feng was also happy in his heart, with an extra 100,000 yuan, he could match nearly 20 more computers.
"Uh......" Chu Zhixuan suddenly stopped, thought for a long time, and looked embarrassed.
"Brother, you have something to say. Lin Feng was also happy about this store.
"Brother, I'll just say it straight, brother. Chu Zhixuan rubbed it and said, his face was slightly red and said, "Brother, brother, I also want to invest in your online city, I wonder if my brother can agree?"
As soon as Lin Feng heard this, his face changed. There was absolutely no way for him to get people to meddle in his Internet café. Otherwise, there will be disputes in the future because of everyone's disagreement.
