Chapter 157 Internet Cafe

The next night, Wang Xiuren brought a bottle of good wine and found Ah Xing to consult him about the Internet cafe.

Ah Xing's company is also promoting the use of computers for office work. After hearing Wang Xiuren's question, he thought for a moment before speaking:

"Brother Ren, I don't know much about computers, but our company is promoting the use of computers for office work, so making money should be no problem."

Wang Xiuren felt a little regretful, but still thanked Ah Xing.

"However, if you, Brother Ren, plan to buy a computer, I will introduce you to the young man who was sent to our unit to teach us about computers. After all, he is a top student in the Computer Science Department of Pengcheng University." Ah Xing added.

"Ah Xing, thank you! When this matter is confirmed to be done, I will definitely come to thank you again!" Wang Xiuren clasped his fists and bowed to Ah Xing with gratitude.

"With the relationship between us, why do we need to be so polite?" Ah Xing deliberately put on a fierce face.

"That's fine!" Wang Xiuren didn't care and said with a smile: "In a few days, bring Ah Yun and Ah Hao to our house for a simple meal, and then we can have a couple of drinks!"

"That's more like it!" Ah Xing also laughed.

Wang Xiuren didn't talk about this matter with Lin Qiu for the time being, mainly because he was afraid that it wouldn't work out and that she would feel even more regretful.

He quietly used his rest time to ride his motorcycle around the streets, looking for a suitable storefront.

He also sneaked into two small Internet cafes in the alley and took a look, and felt that they were smoky and dirty.

He was a little worried that opening an Internet cafe would be a breeding ground for corruption, so he went to the police station to ask about it. He was relieved to learn that it was legal to open an Internet cafe according to regulations.

Maybe it was because he was strolling on the street at noon every day, so Ada saw him on the street for two consecutive days.

“Ding Di——”

Ada couldn't help but honk the horn.

Wang Xiuren indeed looked back.

Ada rolled down the car window and stuck his head out. "Aren, why are you wandering around the street instead of taking a good rest at noon?"

Wang Xiuren parked his motorcycle on the side of the road, locked it, and then walked to the car.

"Brother Adada, long time no see! How are you doing recently?"

Ada also opened the car door and walked out, "I saw you yesterday, but you didn't see me."

"I guess I didn't pay attention to the license plate, otherwise how could I not say hello to you, Brother Adada?" Wang Xiuren explained.

"What are you doing, kid?" Ada asked curiously.

Wang Xiuren usually works on construction sites. It is not like him to wander around the streets in the middle of the day for two consecutive days.

"I'm looking to see if there is a suitable storefront that can be rented here." Wang Xiuren was very honest in front of Adago.

"Store? Are you planning to do business?"

"It's not me, it's my wife."

Wang Xiuren told Brother Adada the whole story of why Lin Qiu wanted to open an Internet cafe. "I just wanted to look for a suitable storefront first, so I'll give it a try. I can't let her keep thinking about this!"

"You're such a good man!" Ada bumped his shoulder teasingly, "Aren't you afraid that she'll lose money? Opening an Internet cafe is not a small amount of money."

"It shouldn't be that serious, right?" Wang Xiuren had done some research over the past few days.

"You two have good taste!" Ada praised.

Although he has not been involved in the computer and Internet industries, as a shareholder in the local real estate industry, he knows some information.

Although the Internet bubble economy appeared this year, the development momentum of this industry is still quite good. Computers are related to the Internet industry, so the future is worth looking forward to.

As a new form of leisure based on these two industries, Internet cafes have been sought after by young people since their emergence and will surely be very popular in the next few years.

Of course, Ada didn't explain it to Wang Xiuren in detail.

Wang Xiuren also knew from Ada's tone that the Internet cafe should be making a lot of money.

"It's still in the planning stage and there's no guarantee it can be done." Wang Xiuren was also unsure of the final outcome.

"Isn't it just a facade? What's so difficult about it?" Ada didn't take it seriously.

"I remember your sister-in-law has two vacant storefronts on this pedestrian street. I heard that the clothing store she rented before has moved out. I wonder if there are any vacancies now. I'll ask for you now."

After saying that, he took out the newly launched Motorola mobile phone and made a call. In a few words, he helped Wang Xiuren finalize the storefront deal.

The problem with Wang Xiuren's facade was easily solved by Brother Adago.

Sure enough, Brother Adada is the benefactor of their family!

Meeting him is basically a good thing.

"I just asked your sister-in-law. The two shops are connected, about 128 square meters. The rent of the clothing store was 12,800 yuan per month before. Your sister-in-law said that it would be cheaper for you, 11,000 yuan per month. What do you think?"

Wang Xiuren knew that it was not easy to find such a suitable shop on the pedestrian street, and the price was also a bargain for Adago.

So he nodded and said, "I'll ask my sister-in-law to sign the agreement later."

Now that the shop issue was settled, Wang Xiuren discussed the opening of an Internet cafe with Lin Qiu that evening.

Even Lin Qiu was shocked by Wang Xiuren's speed.

She stared at Wang Xiuren again and again, wondering if he had also been reborn, otherwise how could he be so efficient?

This is no small matter.

According to regulations, a 128-square-meter shop can accommodate more than 50 computers. Including the cost of redecoration, laying wiring, and buying computers, the total cost is nearly 400,000 yuan.

The key is that my family cannot come up with 400,000 yuan now, and I have to go to the bank for a mortgage loan.

"Are we really going to open an Internet cafe? Do you really believe that the Internet cafe can make money?" Lin Qiu asked.

After officially deciding to open an Internet cafe, she was no longer so confident that she could make money, and instead felt filled with insecurity.

I was afraid that this idea of ​​mine would cause a financial crisis for my family.

Wang Xiuren was actually a little worried, but he pretended to be calm. "Over the years, the decisions you made have basically never gone wrong. I believe in you!"

Wang Xiuren did not say that he had asked around, nor did he say that Ah Xing and Adage were optimistic.

Sure enough, when Lin Qiu heard this, he immediately perked up and became full of fighting spirit.

Since my husband believes in me so much, I must not let him down and let the family suffer losses.

So she temporarily handed over the newsstand to Lin Ping and asked Zhou Qing to help look after the convenience store.

He personally handled the loan procedures and Internet business license procedures, and through the introduction of Teacher Guo, he found two poor students from the Computer Science Department of Pengcheng University to work part-time as network administrators and help solve computer problems.

At the same time, I also spent money to enroll in a basic computer operation training course, at least to ensure that as the front desk service of the Internet cafe, there would be no problems with charging, cleaning, and maintenance.

Wang Xiuren also used this time to renovate the Internet cafe. With the help of Xiaokang, a top computer student recommended by Ah Xing, he purchased fifty computers and security equipment and placed them in their positions one by one.

In addition, the Internet cafe's fire protection measures are also quite in place. At least when the fire safety department comes to inspect, they directly use this place as a demonstration point.

There is even a notice on the door of the Internet cafe: This bar does not accept minors under the age of 18 (please show proof of identity).

Everything is ready, all we have to do is open.
