On the morning of the 10th day of the lunar month.

Wen Shuo told his mother on the platform of the train station to send his mother on the train - there was nothing else, but his mother had never been on the train alone, and Wen Shuo was afraid that something would happen to her mother on the train this time, and she was worried that she had taken the station......

Coming out of the train station, he was still not at ease, so he went to the public phone booth to call his uncle, explain the arrival time, and ask his uncle to pick up at the train station.

In this way, Wen Shuo took the bus back to Beijing University.

Today is the weekend, Wen Shuo plans to go to the office of the Internet café first, look at the turnover of the Internet café during this time, and then roughly browse the summary of some recent problems in each Internet café, and then go to the library to read some books.

When I came to the office in the third store, Skullcap was not there.

Wen Shuo sat down at the desk and turned on the computer, and looked at the current customer attendance rate of various Internet cafes, which was not bad, because of the weekend, at more than 10 o'clock in the morning, the attendance rate had reached 80 percent, which can be said to be full.

During this time, Skullcap Zhi was solely responsible, and has won four stores, including three restaurants and a bar, with a total area of nearly 900 square meters.

600,000 yuan has been invested in the transfer fee and rent alone.

Fortunately, during this period, Wen Shuo and Li Yang had dinner and chatted together, and once again postponed the signing time of the rent for a month and a half, which can be used for the preparation work before the opening - this alone saved another 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, of course, this saving is not cash, but something that appears in the accounts.

Skullcap Zhi also negotiated with the telecommunications department three times to reduce the broadband fee of Shuoyuan Internet café by 10 percent.

The seven stores in Shuoyuan Internet Cafe are currently in business, which can bring an average turnover of nearly 30,000 yuan per day, and the net income can reach more than 23,000 yuan after deducting expenses. Among them, there is also an expense that does not need to be incurred for the time being - rent is included in the expenditure, but because it has been paid in advance, this money is liquid money on the books.

Wen Shuo thought about it carefully, and felt a little more relaxed.

Hey, it turns out that the funds on the books are quite abundant, and there is no need to borrow too much money from the software company, or even ...... As long as the operation is done properly and the time is staggered, the turnover of the Internet café can support the opening of four new stores.

Before, I was distressed that the four stores had to invest millions of yuan, but it was painful to spend money, and I didn't consider that the money came very quickly.

"No wonder others say that you are stingy and only get in and out. Wen Shuo just muttered a sentence of self-blame, and then glared at the computer screen again, grinning and reprimanding: "Silly girl......!

As the saying goes, no book is made without coincidence.

When Wen Shuo was in front of the computer screen, the office door opened, and Skullcap Zhi walked in lightly.

On his face, which was originally still slightly smiling, when he heard Wen Shuo's words, the corners of his lips suddenly lifted, revealing a sneer, and he looked at it with an embarrassed expression, and quickly showed a flattering smile, and his chubby face was squeezed into a fat man who looked like a Shar Pei.

"What am I hiding from you?" asked Skullcap faintly.

"No, no ......"

"I don't want suspicion between us. Skullcap walked over, put the bag she was carrying on the table, and said: "Cooperation, the most important thing is to avoid distrust between the two sides, because that indicates that the cooperation is about to break down." ”

Wen Shuo was startled, quickly got up and pretended to be flattering, reached out to hold Skullcap's arm and invited her to sit down, and said, "Don't be so solemn......, okay? Listen to my explanation, I just looked at it, we obviously have plenty of cash in our accounts, and when I said that I still need a million investments, and I still need to borrow money from the accounts of software companies, you didn't remind me. ”

Feeling Wen Shuo's pretended to flatter him, he carefully took the opportunity to touch it a few times when he reached out to support his arm, and then rubbed the clothes on people's chests with the back of his hand.

Sitting at her desk, Huang Qinzhi said: "You said that you would invest 1 million yuan, which is true, and you said that you want to borrow money from the accounts of the software company, which is also true! Moreover, the company's turnover and working capital, you have been paying attention to it." So I didn't warn you at the time, thinking that you were going to take a few more stores. ”

"Take it again?" Wen Shuo said with a bitter face: "Do you think the South Street Commercial District is our own?

Skullcap pursed her lips and smiled, "In fact, many people have the intention to transfer. ”

"Huh?" Wen Shuo was stunned.

"Now, most of the shopkeepers in the South Street business district will curse us angrily in private. Skullcap shrugged her shoulders a little helplessly, but there was no trace of bitterness and anger, and said: "Not to mention that fast food restaurants have affected the business of several restaurants, just the rapid expansion of Shuoyuan Internet cafes, many students have become accustomed to the Internet, which has indirectly, or directly affected, almost all businesses in the South Street business district. ”

Wen Shuo frowned and thought about it, and he didn't need Skullcap Zhi to explain anymore before he understood what was going on.

Internet access costs money!

The vast majority of college students have limited daily living expenses! When everyone begins to be obsessed with the Internet, it is natural to save some money on other aspects of life. Therefore, from clothing stores and restaurants, to bars, cafes, all kinds of snacks and desserts, such petty but high-end businesses are quickly ignored by students.

Everyone is swarming to choose to save money and use it online!

"Then haven't we become the people's enemies?" Wen Shuo shook his head with a smile, his expression suddenly a little lonely.

Because he somehow has a very strange and sage logic - open an Internet café to make money, do not break the law and commit crimes, do not deceive anyone, do business to make money, and will not force those students and young people who work to go online, but unintentionally, it can also be said that intentionally, earned the money saved by those students who are diligent and thrifty, and indirectly caused many shops in the South Street business district to plummet.

What should they do?

"Oh yes, two of them have already started to tear down and renovate their shops to become Internet cafes. Huang Qinzhi smiled: "The tea house and Xingyu video store are expected to open after a long time, and Shuoyuan Internet Cafe will inevitably have competitors." ”

Wen Shuo came back from his contemplation and thumped his head in frustration.

"What's wrong with you?" said Skullcap in surprise.

"Oh, nothing...... I'm depraved. Wen Shuo wiped his face vigorously, did not put aside the hypocritical, contrived, and meaningless thoughts in his heart, and said: "Competition is inevitable, now we have plenty of funds, you are busy and tired during this time, and strive to open all four Internet café branches before the start of school next year." I probably looked at the funds in the account, and it should be enough to support four Internet cafes, and I don't need to take any more money from the accounts of software companies. ”

Skullcap raised her eyebrows and said: "During the Chinese New Year, do all the branches have to open? The customer flow is not so large, and the employees also have to go home." ”

"There will not be too few people going online during the Chinese New Year. Wen Shuo frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In this way, let Zhang Jian do a good job of statistics in advance, and the employees who will not go during the New Year will all be paid double salaries and have a red envelope of two hundred yuan." Then, according to the number of employees left behind during the New Year, it is decided to suspend several branches during the New Year. ”

"Good. Skullcap nodded and said, "This year's Spring Festival...... I'll stay on duty. ”

"No, I don't. Wen Shuo said with a smile: "My mother and I are in the capital, and it's okay to go back to Dongyun, it's the same everywhere, you, go back to accompany your parents, your family, the family is big, and there will inevitably be more exchanges during the Spring Festival." ”

Skullcap Zhi was a little embarrassed and said, "After the New Year, I will come back early." ”

"Hey, by the way, you can ask Zhang Jian to come over in a while, say hello to him about the situation we just said, and let him pay attention to whether there is a suitable storefront room outside Huaqing University, not big, the branch of the fast food restaurant is optimistic about the location in advance." ”

"Okay. Skullcap answered.

"Then I'll go to the library first, Mr. Yang has left me too much homework, I have to check some information, and I will report to him tomorrow Monday, alas. Wen Shuo got up with a wry smile.

"Oh yes, wait a minute. ”

"Huh?" Wen Shuo stopped and said in surprise, "Something?"

"Then, I went to the mall before and bought you a mobile phone. Skullcap Zhi took out a delicate packaging box from the bag that was placed on the table just now, opened it, took out the mobile phone, charger, and spare battery from it, and said with a smile: "Remember the first three times, each time you have to exhaust the power of the battery, and then charge it for eight hours each time, otherwise the battery cannot be fully activated and the efficiency is not enough." I also bought you a mobile phone card, and the number is here. ”

Wen Shuo was stunned, stepped forward to take this delicate and small, dark blue mobile phone, this is a Motorola V998, he frowned and asked, "How much?"

"More than 4,000 ......"

"How much?"

Skullcap Zhi smiled helplessly, knowing that it was difficult to fool in front of this stingy guy, and said, "Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight." ”

"Is this called more than four thousand?" Wen Shuo felt a pain at the tip of his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "How much does this mobile phone number cost to make and receive calls? How much does the landline fee cost per month?"

"Wenshuo ......"

"Huh?"

"Don't you think you should carry your mobile phone with you?" "The times are developing, our Internet cafes and companies are constantly developing, and you still have a lot of studies to complete, equipped with a mobile phone, it will make you study, work and life efficiency several times, you should have already realized the convenience of mobile phones." ”

Wen Shuo sighed and nodded in acknowledgement.

Putting aside the problem of face, purely from the aspect of work convenience that mobile phones can bring, yes is better than nothing!

"It's okay to call less. Wen Shuo muttered, took his phone and turned to walk out.
