Chapter 38 Opening of Internet Cafes (6)
After Liu Tiantian returned to the game area, she gave another bottle of water in her hand to a dark-skinned young man who was already standing behind the game area.
After the man took the water, he said a word of thanks, and then glanced at Liu Wan next to him a few times and said with a little excitement.
"When I went to deliver the goods a few days ago, I happened to see the Minsheng Internet Café distributing leaflets over there in the Zifeng shopping mall, and I read the introduction, saying that there was a CS game competition, and I thought it was very interesting, so I came here early this morning, but I didn't expect that there were so many people here."
"That's right, when we came over, we looked inside, and there were so many people that it was impossible to squeeze in."
Liu Tiantian said with a smile.
After hearing this, Liu Wan said with a wry smile.
"Sweet, you still want to go in, it's all squeezing you into a ball later, let's just take a look outside."
When the man saw Liu Wan say this, he swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth, and then said in agreement.
"Yes, it's almost over, I was already 11-11 when I came out just now, and there are two rounds left!"
Liu Wan doesn't know much about this game, seeing this man's honest appearance, he is very ordinary from his dress to his appearance.
But I'm usually at work today on Tuesday.,It's still relatively rare to be able to come over to watch the game game at this time.,So I'm a little curious.,I asked.。
"I don't know what your name is."
The dark-skinned young man replied.
"My name is Han Li, I opened a small furniture store in Puxi District, I just happened to come here today to have something, and I myself like to play CS, so when the matter was done, I rushed over, and it just so happened that there was a game here."
"Han Li!"
Liu Wan repeated a sentence softly on her lips, feeling as if she had heard this name somewhere, it was a little familiar, but after thinking about it for a while, she really couldn't remember it, so she came back to her senses and politely introduced herself to Han Li.
"My name is Liu Wan!" After speaking, he pointed to the companion next to him, her name is Liu Tiantian, and both of us are students of Xiujiang University of Technology.
"Oh, that's good, Xiujiang University of Technology, that's a famous key university in Chuanjiang Province, it's amazing that you can study in college there!"
Han Li had an envious look on his face, obviously in his eyes, the people who could go to this university were all amazing people, but then he seemed to think of something, so he asked again.
"Today, Tuesday, don't you have a class!"
"Uh..."
Liu Wan and Liu Tiantian paused for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Tiantian, who was holding back a smile, explained.
"There was a class today, but we skipped class to watch the game!"
Han Li understood, and laughed a few times, and then didn't talk about this topic anymore with great interest.
...
"I'll go, so powerful!"
"The god of the law is the god of the network!"
"I see that Luoshen's personal ability can be ranked in the top five in the national CS game circle!"
"I thought the Grim Reaper had won, but alas!"
Liu Wan and the others, who were still chatting, heard a burst of cheers from the crowd in the game area in front of them, and knew that it was the Luofeng team led by "Luoshen" who won the victory.
A few people then walked forward, and although there were many people watching the game, because the distance was not too far, they could still see the expressions of the people in the two teams clearly in the gap.
Liu Feng, who was sitting at the game table, looked at the "failure" written on the game interface! His expression was extremely low, and he looked like he was about to win the game, but... Alas, the skills are not as good as people!
Then he stood up from the table with some difficulty, and after the game was over, Xia Zihan on the opposite side had already run to Wang Luo's side to celebrate the victory.
Zhou Chao, a fat teammate with a depressed expression, also walked over, patted Liu Feng's shoulder from behind and said, "It's okay!" ”
Liu Feng turned his head to look at him, looked around, and found that the other two female teammates were very depressed, knowing that as the captain, he couldn't be discouraged just because he just lost a game, so he regained his spirits and said encouragingly.
"It's okay, if we lose, we will lose, let's go back and practice well, as long as we can keep persevering, we will definitely be able to win back in the professional competition in the second half of the year!"
The two female teammates pursed their mouths, and nodded with a look of loss.
Liu Feng knew that this was not something that could immediately solve his teammates' frustration due to failure just by saying a few words.
He sighed lightly and continued.
"Let's go back!"
When the other teammates heard this, they all moved their stools and stood up, and then walked to Liu Feng's side.
...
Zhang Min, who was still thinking about things in the corner of the main stage, also came back to his senses in this cheer.
Looking at the Luofeng team wearing a white short-sleeved shirt on the right side, his teammates had a happy expression, while the Grim Reaper team on the opposite side was depressed and heavy-hearted, naturally knowing which team won the game, and after pondering for a while, he got up and walked over.
At the front desk, Zou Qianqian and others, who came to inquire about the membership card, also looked towards the game area with the sound inside.
"The results of the game should be in!"
A young man with a black cap in the front desk said.
This person is a friend who came with Wang Jie, because Wang Jie told them about his background before he came, so one of the people who came over today bought a white and gold supreme card.
Each supreme card costs 5,000 yuan, and their group bought 6 of them.
The companion on the side also nodded.
Zhang Min walked over and patted Guo Xuewen's shoulder, who was still watching.
"Lao Guo, come here!"
The two came to a corner of the Minsheng Internet café.
"Lao Guo, what do you think of the publicity effect of today's game?"
Zhang Min asked Guo Xuewen, who was standing next to him.
Guo Xuewen thought about it and said.
"The game should have been much better than we expected, and a lot of people came to watch it."
"Yes, I think there are still too few game competitions organized by Internet cafes now, you said that if we can form a game team by ourselves, go out to play games, and often organize similar activities in Internet cafes when there are no events, how about it!"
Guo Xuewen, who was standing on the side, looked back at the crowd in the game area, and muttered in agreement.
"I think your idea is feasible, I can see that young people nowadays prefer games and competitions, but if you want to cultivate a team by yourself, you must first have someone who understands this aspect, and secondly, you need to have enough funds, not in a short period of time!"
Zhang Min nodded and added.
"If you are a person, Zhang Mengqiang is in charge of this part, and if you are a team member, Wang Luo's team, as for the money, how much do you think you need?"
"This requires at least 2 million!"
Guo Xuewen replied.
Although 2 million is not a big amount for Zhang Min now, he still carefully calculated when he could withdraw the money, and replied after pondering for a while.
"If it's 2 million, I'll call 10 million after a while, and when I'm ready to open a branch, you first take out some of the money from it and set up this game team first, and then if there are more expenses, we'll discuss it!"
Zhang Min plans to wait for the withdrawal from the stock of "Dongfeng Motor", and then make a part of the money and go here.
"But..."
Guo Xuewen frowned and didn't say anything.
Zhang Min seemed to have noticed something, so he continued to ask.
"Lao Guo, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Guo Xuewen turned his head and glanced at Wang Luo.
"If you rely on money alone, I don't think you may be able to keep Wang Luo."
Zhang Min thought about it and wanted to know what Guo Xuewen meant, but he had a way, so he said.
"Lao Guo, I have a way to let him stay."
"Oh!"
Guo Xuewen glanced at Zhang Min with some surprise, saw that he was smiling mysteriously, and pondered for a while.
"Lao Guo, let's go over!"
Zhang Min saw that the other team led by Liu Feng was about to leave, so he said to Guo Xuewen.
"Old Meng, we still left some of them beforehand!"
Liu Feng said to Zhang Mengqiang.
Liu Feng still wanted to keep it, but when he saw the excitement on the faces of Xia Zihan and Wang Luozhen next to him, he looked back at Liu Feng's expression and revealed pain.
also knows that he is not just because he lost the game, and he doesn't want to see his beloved woman show affection to his enemies in front of him.
So he said to a network administrator next to him in understanding.
"Lao Hu, you call the friend of the bus, you can drive the car over, send Liu Feng and them back first!"
Then he turned back and comforted him.
"It's just a small entertainment, don't care too much about winning or losing!"
Liu Feng nodded.
"Liu Feng, you take this first, it's so far away, it's hard to let you fly from SH to play a game!"
Zhang Mengqiang took two wades of cash wrapped in newspaper from the table behind him.
Liu Feng looked at it, and wanted to refuse, but when he thought of his teammates, he accepted it again.
Then the group left the Internet café and, led by one of the network administrators, walked outside.
When Zhang Min walked over, the people had already left, and they were walking really fast, but his focus was to keep "Wang Luo" and others, so he didn't care too much about Liu Feng and his party leaving in a hurry.
Then Zhang Min and Guo Xuewen came to Zhang Mengqiang's side and patted the direction in which Liu Feng was still leaving.
Seeing that Zhang Mengqiang had come back to his senses, he said to him.
"Meng Qiang, take me over to meet your friend!"
Zhang Mengqiang didn't hesitate much, and walked over with Zhang Min.
"Wang Luo, this is the owner of this Internet café called Zhang Min!"
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Zhang Min cut directly to the topic.
"I don't know, Mr. Wang, is there anything else to do when I go back this time!"
"Take a break and then prepare for the second half of the year!"
"Oh, I hope Mr. Wang can stay!"
"Stay!?"
Wang Luo was a little surprised, and then added.
"Why?"
"I can create the best working environment for the game team in China, and I don't ask you to do anything, you just need to come and play a few games regularly."
"And your team can also enjoy this treatment, with a salary of 10,000 yuan a month for each person!"
In 2001, this salary was not low anywhere, and the strength of other people except Wang Luo may not be worth the price, but he could see that Wang Luo was an emotional person, and it would be useless to let him stay alone.
Seeing that Wang Luo was still a little hesitant, Zhang Min added.
"Your former teammate Zhang Mengqiang is also here, you can ask him about the situation here, we will not force people, if you have any ideas, as long as it is reasonable, we can adopt it!"
Wang Luo observed Zhang Min throughout the conversation, and he really felt his sincerity and sincerity.
After hesitating for a moment, he said.
"Wait a minute, I'll discuss this with the rest of my teammates!"
"No problem, you can go over, if you still have any doubts, you can continue to ask me!"
Wang Luo nodded, turned around and summoned his teammates.
"Ah, 10,000 yuan a month, so much!"
The other teams exclaimed in surprise after hearing Wang Luo's words.
"Then he doesn't have any requirements!"
Xia Zihan asked cautiously.
"That is, let's organize a few games here every month!"
"It's that simple, then agree!"
One of the younger team members hurriedly said excitedly.
Wang Luo turned his head and asked Xia Zihan again
"Zihan, your opinion."
Xia Zihan thought for a while, then nodded and said.
"If there are no other requirements, this treatment is already very good, playing a few games here every month, this is no different if we practice the game in the base, and if we agree, at least we can earn money, so that the family can also be impressed, let them know that we are not playing games without doing business!"
Hearing Xia Zihan's words, especially the last sentence, it is basically everyone's voice, China in 2001 is not China more than 10 years later, the game industry is so huge, this major has been opened in some universities, the annual income of popular game commentators is more than 10 million, and some professional players may also be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University by virtue of their talent in the game.
These are things they could not have imagined in 2001.
Wang Luo saw that everyone agreed.
So he walked back and said to Zhang Min.
"Mr. Zhang, we agree with your suggestion!"
