In this day and age, it's hard to say that everyone is uninterested in arcade games, but most people, especially young people, still can't resist them.
Imagine you are a low-paid public servant in an era with little entertainment, and your boss suddenly announces a perk: everyone can go to him to collect some game coins.
These game tokens can be used to play arcade games at designated arcades. After get off work, do you ever go to get some game tokens and go to the arcade to experience this newfangled gadget?
In addition, you will have the opportunity to receive some vouchers from your supervisor. These vouchers can be used to buy fried chicken and hamburgers at Wallace next to the arcade, or to buy lemonade and milk tea at Mixue Ice Cream on the other side.
So, all you have to do is apply to your boss to get game coins and vouchers, play arcade games after get off work, eat expensive Wallace fried chicken and burgers when you're hungry, and drink expensive Mixue ice cream when you're thirsty.
Would you like to accept these benefits or not?
As for the cost issue...
It's not exactly zero cost, but it's close.
Just like friends who open internet cafes or restaurants in later generations, are they afraid that you will eat at their house or surf the internet at their house?
Wallace's set meals and Mixue Ice Cream's milk tea are expensive, but their cost is not much.
The same applies to arcade games.
The costs of an arcade are simply electricity, rent, and staff salaries.
Lin Yifeng's suggestion caught Ye Wuzheng's eye; Ye Wuzheng thought it was an excellent suggestion.
To be honest, if Lin Yifeng's arcade hadn't been closed, he would have liked to go and play there.
Yan Bingshan, on the other hand, began to look at Lin Yifeng with new respect on a deeper level.
Lin Yifeng's methods of bribery...
Oh no.
Lin Yifeng's way of offering discounts was so natural that no one could find fault with it.
Even the arrival of the Discipline Inspection Commission makes it difficult to determine the nature of the incident.
"Regarding the arcade's profit sharing, I'd like to do it through sponsorship..."
Lin Yifeng then talked about the arcade's profit sharing.
Lin Yifeng plans to share the profits through sponsorship, but there is a requirement: Yan Bingshan must be someone with real power who can manage this area; otherwise, he will be doing someone else a favor.
Of course, whether or not the profits are distributed through sponsorship is not up to Lin Yifeng himself; he'll have to see what happens with the refrigerator.
As expected, although Yan Bingshan was very interested in the sponsorship method, he thought about it for a long time and did not accept it. Instead, he told Lin Yifeng about someone and asked Lin Yifeng to make contact with him.
Yan Bingshan was originally dissatisfied with the profit-sharing ratio, but after hearing that Ye Yuqing took the lion's share, he stopped complaining.
"Kobayashi, have you encountered any difficulties with your arcade?"
With everything settled, Yan Bingshan began asking Lin Yifeng if he had encountered any difficulties.
This was a signal from him, telling Lin Yifeng that he needed to get involved in doing something.
"Uncle Yan, I have indeed encountered a bit of a difficulty."
Lin Yifeng understood Yan Bingshan's meaning. With a smile, he explained his difficulties: "Uncle Yan, I plan to open an arcade in the old town, but yesterday I asked Ye Yuqing about the shops along the street in the old town and found that these shops either don't sublet or the rent is ridiculously expensive."
"I later learned that there seem to be several state-owned enterprise shops in our Muye City that are going to be auctioned off. I wonder if Uncle Yan..."
"Yes, there are some state-owned enterprise shops that are going to be auctioned off. Which shop are you interested in? Do you have a specific target?"
Lin Yifeng immediately named the shops he had his eye on, and Yan Bingshan nodded without giving a reply.
But no reply is an answer!
Lin Yifeng then changed the subject, briefly outlining some possible scenarios. Yan Bingshan nodded throughout, occasionally exhaling a smoke ring.
"Uncle Yan, that's about it."
"Oh dear, it's almost 12 o'clock."
"I wonder how well those little bastards in the bureau are doing with that beast's investigation!"
Yan Bingshan glanced at his watch, quickly stubbed out his cigarette, and stood up. He waved to Ye Wuzheng and said with a smile to Lin Yifeng, "Little Lin, Wuzheng and I are about to go back to the station."
This beast committed a serious crime; he needs to be thoroughly interrogated.
"You just need to do your job well. If there's anything you don't understand, just tell Wu Zheng!"
"Alright, Uncle Yan, then you go ahead with your work!"
Yan Bingshan patted Lin Yifeng on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration for Lin Yifeng.
Although he only had a brief encounter with Lin Yifeng, he held Lin Yifeng in high regard.
Lin Yifeng is exceptionally capable, yet he lacks the arrogance of youth. What's even more commendable is his exceptional understanding of human relationships and his sophisticated and tactful approach to handling affairs.
As long as this guy doesn't do anything reckless, his future achievements are limitless.
As for letting Lam Yat-fung court disaster...
Yan Bingshan shook his head.
He had heard that Lin Yifeng was a man with very strong principles, who would never touch anything that was off-limits, and had no leverage over him whatsoever.
"This guy has huge ambitions."
"But the more he does this, the more I admire him."
Yan Bingshan left with Ye Wuzheng, and Lin Yifeng walked side by side with Ye Yuqing.
"I'm going to school tomorrow."
Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing arrived at her apartment building side by side. Ye Yuqing looked at Lin Yifeng with reluctance, while Lin Yifeng looked up at the dark tenement building and smiled, "Study hard and make progress every day!"
"The future of our motherland depends entirely on flowers like you."
"profound!"
"Lin Yifeng, you're wrong!"
"The future of our motherland depends on pillars like you!"
Ye Yuqing replied, clutching the hem of her clothes as she looked at Lin Yifeng, who looked nothing like a martial arts master.
She was simply an extremely beautiful female college student.
"Really? Then I'll have to work even harder."
"Let's go back, it's getting late, go to sleep, you have school tomorrow!"
Lin Yifeng turned around, waved to Ye Yuqing, and disappeared around the corner.
Ye Yuqing stood there for a long, long time, staring in the direction where Lin Yifeng had disappeared.
