Eight o'clock in the evening.

The sky was covered with goose-feather snow, and the ground was silvery white.

Wen Shuo and Lin Bo, as well as the five old members of the Dragon's Heart Computer Society, walked out of the "Ximen Shabu-shabu" store with a smile - this morning pulled 30 computers into the store, and these experts helped to move, unload, install, and wiring, and in the afternoon they debugged the state of the whole machine in the store, installed software, enhanced systems, etc., and worked until the evening to be completed.

Among the five people, there are three fourth-year undergraduates and two graduate students, all of whom are engaged in related work in Zhongguancun, so these jobs are done beautifully, and it can be said that there are no mistakes.

According to the previous agreement, Wen Shuo took out 300 yuan, and several old members could each get 60 yuan - this year, the salary of 60 yuan a day is really not small, but for these computer professionals who are in short supply and have work experience, it is not much. Fortunately, everyone was aiming for the fame of Wen Shuo and Teacher Yang Jingbin, and they originally planned to help for free. When the work is done, you push me to get the money, but I never thought about it, Wen Shuo couldn't help but say it, and pulled them without refusing, and went to the "Ximen Shabu" to have a meal.

In total, more than four hundred were spent.

During the banquet, Wen Shuo was able to speak, showing that he was bold and generous, which really made the brothers eat and drink warmly and smoothly, and they were so moved that they almost didn't recognize the lord on the spot. One of the buddies named Zuo Yuqing drank too much, and shouted that he had to quit his job in a company in Zhongguancun and go to Wenshuo's Internet café to work, and even took the initiative to ask for his salary, no more, just a thousand yuan a month, and the buddy wanted to do it well!

Wen Shuo was so excited that he almost agreed to ask Zuo Yuqing to sign the contract on the spot, this is an expert......

But he held back.

It's not that I'm reluctant to spend a salary of 1,000 yuan per month, but I can't take it seriously after drinking, and after Zuoyu wakes up, everyone can't get over face.

Seeing off Lin Bo and them, Wen Shuo pedaled three wheels in the snow and returned to the Internet café.

Under the dim street lamplight, he stood at the door, looking up at the hot pot restaurant signboard that had not yet been taken down - tomorrow, the person who made the sign would come, and he had already made an appointment to make it; tomorrow, he would go to the telecommunications department to urge him to pay the expensive initial installation fee for the DDN special line there, and forcibly purchase a set of corresponding equipment.

So far, the messy expenses, with the careful savings of picking money in the cracks of the fat man's door, have indeed not exceeded 400,000!

However, after the opening of the Internet café, there will still be a fairly high expenditure -- the monthly rent fee of more than 5,000 yuan for the DDN special line; the preliminary estimate is that there will be 2,000 yuan per month for electricity, and the combined expenses of other industrial and commercial and urban management will be 1,000 yuan per month......

Also, hire employees.

Because Wen Shuo is a pure layman in computers, and while running an Internet café, he can't delay his studies.

It's not that in Wen Shuo's heart, he really thinks that his studies are much more important than opening an Internet café to make money, and he doesn't have such a high sentiment. The key is that he knows very well that he wants to open an Internet café and make the Internet café profitable as soon as possible, more profitable, and long-term, so he needs the identity of a first-year student at the School of Archaeology, Culture and Museums of Beijing University, because this identity can allow him to invisibly get a lot of channel resources.

Before the absolute success of one's own Internet café business, abandoning one's studies is tantamount to cutting off one's channel resources and digging one's own grave of reputation.

Tired!

Wen Shuo took out the key to open the door and went in, turned on the light, looked at the neatly placed computers, tables and chairs, and inexplicably had an excited impulse in his heart - in less than half a year, Lao Tzu started from scratch and made such a big deal!

Call tomorrow and ask my mother to go to Beijing quickly!

Look at the store!

This is the Internet café opened by her son in Beijing, outside the gate of Beijing University - hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested, and it costs more than 10,000 yuan a month!

Yes, that's it!

The fat man feels that showing off and showing off is a kind of technical work: sighing and saying how much money he spends every month is more low-key than arrogantly saying how much money he earns in a month, but it is more high-end!

The reason is very simple, say how much money you earn in a month, that is a fixed number, but if you say how much money you need to spend every month, although it is also a fixed number, in the hearts of the listeners, your income will be infinitely magnified: "Look, this guy's monthly expenses are more than we earn in a year, then his monthly income will definitely be more or less, maybe how much! He is still worried, probably afraid that we will borrow money......

Just when Wen Shuo couldn't help but be proud, there was a knock on the door behind him.

He turned his head to look, and saw a skullcap wearing a thick black down coat, leather high cotton boots, and cotton gloves, standing outside the door while stomping his feet, raising his hand to beat the snow off his body, and then took off the hood of his mask and down coat, and pushed open the door with a smile.

"Qin Zhi, it's so late, why are you still coming out?" Wen Shuo said angrily.

"Well, when I was having dinner with my classmates before, I saw you and Lin Bo and them go to Ximen Shabu from a distance, I think you may drink, and you may not eat at what time. Skullcap said with a smile: "So, I'll come to the store to have a look." ”

"This dedication deserves praise!" Wen Shuo glanced around the room and said, "Ming'er, I'll find someone to install a roller shutter door, it's more secure." ”

Skullcap nodded, pacing around the room and looking at every computer, table and chair.

It's really rewarding.

"It cost more than four hundred to eat tonight. Wen Shuo followed her and said, "I haven't had time to write in the ledger yet, why don't you go to the back room and look at the ledger......?"

"No, I trust you. Skullcap said casually.

Wen Shuo pulled a chair and sat down, stretched his waist hard, and said: "I said hello to Lin Bo tonight, and asked him to help select a few professional skills, it's okay, I haven't worked for a while, and the members who are down-to-earth come to work with us, and the salary has not yet been finalized, I estimate that each person will have at least five hundred to six hundred yuan, and three or four people are needed." ”

"Well, you decide. ”

"Hey, do you really want to be a shopkeeper? This also makes me decide, and that one also believes me......" Wen Shuo said with a bitter face: "I've been exhausted to death these days." ”

Skullcap Zhi stopped, looked at Wen Shuo with a smile, and said, "As I said before, you and I will manage the public account together, and the expenses of the Internet café are all in this." Now, I suddenly have an idea again, you put a relatively high amount of money into the work of the Internet café, so you can withdraw 2,000 yuan from the public account every month as your salary, how about it?"

"Not bad. Wen Shuo immediately gave a thumbs up with a smile, and then said with a sad face: "No, no, no, there is one more expense, and the account will not be beautiful." In this way, you and I have a fixed salary of 300 yuan every month. ”

Skullcap pursed her lips and smiled, noncommittal.

After being silent for a while, Skullcap suddenly said: "During this time, you seem to have changed as a person, and I feel quite curious." ”

"What?" Wen Shuo said in surprise.

"You told me that day, Lin Bo and they wanted to help you do the initial computer installation work for free, but you insisted on giving them a salary of 300 yuan, which I can understand, you may not want to owe them favors, but why, do you have to invite them to dinner?" Speaking of this, Skullcap Zhi emphasized again: "I'm not accusing you of wasting, but, um...... Curiosity, with your character, should be able to save on saving. ”

Wen Shuo pursed his lips and said with a painful face: "Because Lin Bo and they are too face-conscious, even if I give them a salary of three hundred yuan, from their psychology and in my psychology, they will still feel that it has helped me a lot." Favors are the least valuable, but they are the most valuable, and I don't like to owe favors the most, and the relationship between them and Limbo is far from the point of talking about favors. That's why I slapped the swollen face and became fat, gave them 300 yuan, and then generously invited them to a meal. And guess what? They should feel like they owe me ...... right now. At least, they think about it once in a while and don't think they helped me a lot today. ”

"Understood. Skullcap nodded thoughtfully and said softly: "Don't you think that you are too utilitarian and impersonal?"

"Emotions are actually the same thing as human feelings, the most valuable and the least valuable. Wen Shuo let out a long sigh and said with a little emotion: "I admit that at present, in my heart, whether it is Li Yang or Lin Bo, they don't regard them as friends at all, only the concepts of 'useful' and 'useless'. But people, there is an old saying that sees people's hearts over time, so after a long time, the friendship that should be there will naturally be cultivated, and the friendship that should not be there is fortunately, I didn't think about this aspect at the beginning, so I won't feel lost. If the two sides really have a friendship in the future, the mentality when dealing with things is another matter. ”

Skullcap tilted her head, stared at Wen Shuo with a slight frown, and said seriously: "I doubt it, do people like you have friends? Or in your heart, do you really have friends?"

Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought about it very seriously, then nodded and said, "Yes, several." ”

"Why are you hesitating?" said Skullcap Zhi in hot pursuit.

"Because I'm thinking about it. Wen Shuo said very assumedly: "A stingy person like me, who is willing to pay money to help someone at a critical moment, then he must be my true friend." ”

Skullcap nodded: "Am I?"

"......" Wen Shuo was stunned - what kind of friend are you? You will be my mother-in-law in the future, we are love developed into family affection, and friendship has nothing to do with it.

Right now?

Now he is a partner in the business, and he is a partner on the road to getting married, starting a family and having a baby......

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a boring question. Skullcap Zhi said very sincerely, her cheeks flushed slightly-with her character, she has always disliked asking such childish questions that obviously force the other party to give a satisfactory answer, but just now, the ghost blurted it out in a daze, and then looked at Wen Shuo's hesitant expression, she felt a little pain in her heart, a little sad.

Unexpectedly, in the heart of this fat man, he was not qualified to be a friend.

Just a partner, a shareholder.

So in Skullcap's heart, there was a wave of anger from the little girl's family - I don't treat you as a friend yet, hum!

The fat man, who hesitated for a while, lowered his eyelids, flushed white cheeks, and whispered a little shyly: "I, I think we ...... No, no, it's hope, it's not right, it's probably not that I'm not satisfied with the current relationship......"

"Huh?" skullcap Zhi had a pretty face.

"I didn't say anything!" the fat man surrendered with his hands raised.

Skullcap couldn't help but burst out laughing......
