Chapter 195 The Brothers from the East of Wei Capital



The construction of the new school in Shitou Village will begin on July 18th.

On this day, Xu Qingyi, Guo Fengsheng, and others, who had returned to Muye City earlier with Ye Wuzheng and his group, returned to Paishitou Village.

Accompanying Guo Fengsheng and others were Wang Xinguo, the director of the Education Bureau of Shuiyun Town, and his leadership team, including Sun Zhouzheng.

Sun Zhouzheng.

One of the leaders of Shuiyun Town, he was a thin but energetic middle-aged man. He represented the leadership of Shuiyun Town and came to Shitou Village to film two things.

First, they attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new school in Paishitou Village. The new school in Paishitou Village is not only a political achievement for the Education Bureau, but also for the Shuiyun Town Government. The leadership team came here to show their faces and take photos to boost their political achievements.

Secondly, he wanted to get to know Lin Yifeng, this powerful newcomer, and perhaps also see if he could strike up a conversation with a young talent like Guo Fengsheng and attract some investment.

In 1992, the main theme across the country was to develop the economy.

In this era, every town and village must attract investment.

In order to attract investment, some townships not only offer various preferential policies, but even beg for help.

The traditional social order of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, which had been passed down for thousands of years, underwent a change in status in 1992, the year of reform and opening up.

But it's only been a few years.

Impoverished and remote towns may humble themselves to attract investment, but after a few more years, after the millennium, the leadership of the town government will once again rise above everyone else and easily manipulate non-Party members.

Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—these three positions may change, but the scholar-official will always be the scholar-official!

"Now, please welcome Mayor Sun of Shuiyun Town to give a speech!"

Frankly speaking, it's pointless to have the leadership team speak at a groundbreaking ceremony.

But these vanity projects are a characteristic of China, and you can't avoid them.

Amidst enthusiastic applause from the old village chief Lin Jindong, Sun Zhouzheng smiled and spoke some nonsense to the workers preparing to build the new school.

A reporter from Zhongyuan Evening News took a series of photos of Sun Zhouzheng, while Lin Yifeng stood to the side, chatting idly with Guo Fengsheng, looking rather bored.

Today is July 18th. It has been half a month since Ye Wuzheng last came, and a month since Longteng Arcade opened.

During this month, although Lin Yifeng was not in Muye City, his businesses continued to expand.

First up is Dragon Arcade.

Today, Longteng Arcade is the largest and safest arcade in Makino City.

The arcade on the first floor is divided into three areas, each with more than twenty arcade machines.

These sixty-odd arcade machines, while not running 24 hours a day, are close to it. These 60 arcade machines generate nearly 10,000 yuan in revenue per day, which is equivalent to the revenue of three Wallace arcades.

In addition to the arcade on the first floor, the private gaming space on the third floor has also been renovated.

The private gaming space on the third floor is actually quite similar to the console gaming experience centers of later generations.

The third floor consists of private rooms, each with a Nintendo or Sega game console.

These game consoles are connected to a large color screen TV, and opposite the TV is a comfortable sofa, large enough for two people to sit on and play games together.

Unlike the hot and noisy environment on the first floor, the third floor is designed to be comfortable and beautiful. This place is not only private, but also equipped with air conditioning.

Yes.

Lin Yifeng installed half an air conditioner in each private room on the third floor.

The so-called "half an air conditioner" actually meant that one air conditioner was shared between two private rooms. After all, air conditioners were too expensive in this era, and Lin Yifeng wanted to save as much as possible.

The prices on the third floor are very high.

How expensive is it?

Let me put it this way!

A private room costs 2 yuan per hour, or 5 yuan for 3 hours.

This price is almost what internet cafes charge 20 years from now. In 1992, a charge of 2 yuan per hour would scare a lot of people.

The third floor is not for ordinary people to consume, but for the wealthy or powerful second-generation rich kids in Makino City.

For example, Ye Wuzheng's friends, and Ye Wuzheng's superiors.

After all, the main focus of a "private gaming space" is novelty and atmosphere.

Young people play novel games.

And the leaders.

It's all about the atmosphere.

In such a private space, a beautiful woman sits beside you, the air conditioning is blowing coolly, and you're drinking a little wine, feeling slightly tipsy.

You said "hmm".

Are you playing games?

Or should we play with long-legged beauties in black stockings?

The profits from the third floor are actually very small.

However, the existence of the third floor is of great significance.

On the second floor of Longteng Arcade, there is a Wallace and a Mixue Ice Cream shop. The revenue of these two shops is not as good as that of the Hebei Vocational College shop, but even a small profit is still a profit.

The Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream stores at Longteng Arcade have low revenue compared to other stores.

Looking at the entire Makino City, the profits of these two stores are quite good.

On average, a store makes a profit of around 1,500 yuan per day.

after all....

Dragon Arcade siphoned off most of its customers' money.

There's not much money left for Mixue Ice Cream and Wallace.

otherwise...

Given the customer traffic of Longteng Arcade, how could its revenue be so low? It's not much higher than the one near the train station, but it's about the same.

In addition to the already opened Longteng Arcade store, Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream have opened seven other stores.
