Chapter 108 Endless Pretending
Next to the trash can, Cheng Zhu threw the stubbed out cigarette butt into the trash can.
Compared with Jack Ma who regretted founding Alibaba, Ma Huateng who came from an ordinary family, and Wang Jianlin who had nothing, my being a boss with an income of 8,000 yuan can really be considered a small-time operation.
But, this was only in college after all, and he was just a freshman who had just started school.
It is only 4:30 in the afternoon. The busiest time for this kind of claw machine store should be at night, which means that the turnover will definitely increase significantly at night!
If Cheng Zhu had not boasted or exaggerated the numbers, then daily sales of over 10,000 would be a foregone conclusion.
This amount was enough to intimidate Pei Yan, and even made him feel that Cheng Zhu was flattering him.
Speaking of which, Pei Yan couldn't even believe that such a small claw machine store could rival the first-day sales of that small video game arcade before the sun even went down!
There seemed to be a lot of people, but many of them were taking pictures.
And the average consumption of college students is not too high.
It is unrealistic to expect any college student to come in and buy a hundred or even several hundred coins at once.
There are many wealthy people on the Internet, but in reality they are all very poor.
What's more, Pei Yan himself is a college student, and he knows very well that the opening days of [Youlaiwan] are not particularly good.
It’s not that today is not an auspicious day. Today is indeed a good day, but it is already the end of the month.
Haha, for many college students, their wallets at the end of the month may be cleaner than their faces.
Those who can allocate their living expenses reasonably are all fucking ruthless people!
This will also indirectly affect per capita consumption.
How many people can fit into such a small shop?
Unless the store has the same flow of customers as it does now from morning to afternoon, that would be fine!
If Cheng Zhu knew what was going on in his mind, he would probably say, "You guessed it right!"
It’s just booming. It’s so annoying. My store is so booming!
To be honest, he really felt that too many people would bring a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Pei Yan, the elegant monster, said politely: "Oh? The business seems to be much better than I expected."
Cheng Zhu immediately started to complain: "It's annoying when there are too many people. It's already autumn and the store is crowded and hot. I have to turn on the air conditioner, which is an extra expense."
"Besides, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and there is a large flow of customers. There are actually a few idiots who actually threw a dime into my claw machine. Can you believe it?"
"But there might not be one person like this among hundreds of guests. Today, I actually met three. I suspect they are from the same dormitory. Otherwise, my customer flow is only a few hundred people. By the way, Vice Chairman Pei, does your student union take care of this kind of thing?"
"Also, I was sitting at the front desk collecting coins for customers, and I never had a break. The sound of game coins dropping gave me a headache, and girls kept coming to me to ask for their WeChat accounts, which annoyed me!"
"Vice Chairman Pei, you know that I am serious about doing business, right? Why are you still thinking about entering my life?"
Pei Yan felt overwhelmed when he heard him calling him Vice Chairman Pei.
In private, many people simply omit the word "secondary" when calling him.
And are you just complaining? After listening to your Versailles remarks, I also want to open a claw machine store!
Cheng Zhu looked at his expression and thought, "Very good, it seems you have listened to me."
Do you think I'm a pretentious guy who shows off just because I have a few bucks?
Oh, I am.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have casually posted a screenshot of his bank card balance of more than 6 million on the Internet in his previous life, and then suffered a tragic rebirth.
But I have a certain purpose now.
This store will be sold sooner or later. Before that, it is not a bad thing to let more people know how high the profit of this store is.
There are many people in this world who buy when prices rise and do not buy when prices fall.
If a store is not doing well and is sold at a low price, no one may be interested in it.
A store seemed to be doing good business, so it was sold at a high price, and people lined up with money in their hands.
Pei Yan looked at Cheng Zhu, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Brother Cheng, the business in the store is so good, why don't you go and get busy first?"
Cheng Zhu waved his hand indifferently and said, "They are just trivial matters. Just let the employees do it."
I haven’t had a good chat with you yet!
"Vice Chairman Pei, you also know that there is a saying: If you can't lead a team, you can only work until you die."
"University is full of students who are only good at talking and take themselves very seriously. Can't you come to my place to gain more experience?" He looked at Pei Yan and grinned.
Pei Yan always felt that the smile on his face was playful, but he had no evidence.
Just like that, the vice president of the student union listened to Cheng Zhu's five-minute essay titled "Business is Too Good and It's Really Annoying."
You know what, this elegant monster is really fun.
Just hold him, he will be too embarrassed to leave.
It wasn't until Dong Dong came out and told Cheng Zhu that there was a new kind of idiot in the store who was throwing one-yuan coins into the machine.
The exchange rate was clearly 1:1, but this person seemed to be just one coin short of getting one more, and he was too lazy to queue up, so he just threw a dollar in.
Cheng Zhu took two steps forward and stopped, and said to Pei Yan who was running away: "By the way! Does the student union care about this kind of thing?"
He took two steps at a time, grabbed the elegant monster, and then dragged him into the store: "Senior, you are the vice president, please teach him a lesson for me! The quality of college students nowadays is too poor!"
Pei Yan: “.”
This bastard is so strong!
Fifteen minutes later, Pei Yan was dizzy and didn't know how he left this [Youlaiwan].
After walking out, he took a few deep breaths of fresh air and then looked back.
"It's really strange. There are almost only claw machines in there, but the business is more popular than the video game arcade." Pei Yan had no idea what was going on in the women's minds.
But don't forget that he had previously thought of letting people from the External Relations Department to take advantage of the situation.
Your business is so good and you’re a college student starting your own business, so you should at least give the student union some financial support, right?
The most classic "Forced Donation"!
At night, the number of customers at [Youlaiwan] surged again.
The store was packed with people, and quite a few people gathered outside the store.
Lin Lu was chatting with Cheng Zhu on WeChat as usual. Today, she felt that Cheng Zhu was obviously slow in replying, and she guessed that he was very busy in the store.
So, she thought that she might as well go directly to [Youlaiwan] to find him.
As a result, he was rejected by Cheng Zhu.
"You and Shen Qingning should not come these days."
"Why?" Lin Lu was puzzled.
"Isn't it because of those beautiful photos I took of you?"
"Nowadays, many people take photos and check in at the store, imitating those photos."
"If you are the client in person, they might feel a little embarrassed when taking photos. Please don't affect my customer experience." Cheng Zhu typed, and his main point was to be considerate to the female customers.
Lin Lu typed angrily: "You really are a qualified businessman. Now you only have customers in your eyes."
She originally wanted to buy a few cups of milk tea for Cheng Zhu, and also top up a card at the store to show her support.
I won’t go today, and I won’t buy him milk tea, huh!
The voice actor girl was really worried that her visit would have an impact on his store.
She picked up her phone and for some reason began to look through the photos Cheng Zhu had taken of her, muttering, "Are they really that beautiful?"
"Tsk! It's actually okay, and the main thing is that I'm good-looking!" she said.
After the two chatted briefly for a few more sentences, Cheng Zhu put down his phone.
It's eight o'clock in the evening and the store is doing extremely good business.
But soon, two uninvited guests arrived at the scene.
There are a total of "Five Tiger Generals" in the Student Union's External Relations Department.
Among them, Deputy Minister Wang Yuan is one of them, and he is mainly responsible for the work of attracting sponsorship.
On his way here, he was actually quite excited.
The External Relations Department has been very short of funds recently, and the task of raising money is very heavy.
As soon as he heard that this store was opened by a freshman and that business was booming, a voice immediately rang in his mind: "The people here are stupid and have a lot of money, come quickly!"
According to his experience, it is indeed easier to get money from students, but it is difficult to get money from middle-aged people.
So, after finishing the work at hand, Wang Yuan immediately rushed to the store with his subordinates.
You know what, business looks booming!
There are too many girls in the store. Just looking at those pairs of white thighs is enough to overwhelm him.
And there are so many girls taking photos, many of them are pretty good-looking.
"Oh, she just pouted when taking the photo, so cute!"
"Fuck, that girl just now was pretty, but it's a pity that the one next to her looks like my boyfriend."
Wang Yuan walked into the store in a good mood, ignoring the people queuing to buy coins, and walked directly to the other side and asked, "Is Junior Brother Cheng Zhu here?"
Cheng Zhu, who was sitting, looked up at him and said, "It's me."
"Oh! Hello, Cheng Xuezhe. I'm Wang Yuan, the deputy director of the External Relations Department. Is it convenient for us to chat?"
When he saw that Cheng Zhu was quite handsome, he felt that this sponsorship would be successful. Because according to his experience, many handsome boys have some idol baggage, and many of them are a bit too concerned about their reputation.
"Not very convenient." Cheng Zhu frowned, without stopping the action of taking out the coins.
Tell these two people through practical actions that I am very busy.
How could he not know what the External Relations Department was doing in the store?
Just because you are the deputy minister, should I receive you?
Your mother came to my house to solicit sponsorship and wanted to affect my normal work. You are so shameless.
Cheng Zhu couldn't help but think of a classic line from "Crazy Racing": The local gang is so rude!
It has to be said that Wang Yuan, as the deputy director of the External Relations Department and mainly responsible for raising money, is indeed accustomed to being rejected.
He didn't care. Seeing that there were so many people queuing up to buy coins, and they all looked like students from the University of Science and Technology, he just raised the banner here and started to solicit sponsorship, so that Cheng Zhu could make a small contribution to the school and the student union.
There are only a few routines. First, use some rhetoric, stand on a commanding position, add some value to your status as a student of the same school, and then use moral kidnapping.
It seems like I didn’t pay tuition for my studies, right?
Then I’ll tell you that your store will also be advertised at school activities, and you can even put up a small banner.
Cheng Zhu didn't listen carefully.
It's the information age now. My internet celebrity store will be very popular in the next few days. As for your student union's crappy activities, it's more like you're asking me to advertise for you.
"There's no need to help me with publicity." Cheng Zhu said without raising his head.
"Well, Wang Wei, get ten game coins for the two seniors. Since they are here, let them experience the store for a while." Cheng Zhu felt that he was still very generous.
You want money? I'll give you ten dollars, go play over there, OK?
He just wanted to go out and rest for a while, so he said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As he spoke, he placed the ten game coins that Wang Wei had taken out in front of Wang Yuan, and said to the customers in line, "Excuse me, just treat them as cutting in line? I'll give you some more coins later."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Wang Yuan immediately said, "Junior, don't you have five minutes? Just five minutes, you can't be so busy, right?"
Cheng Zhu was really impressed by these people in the student union. Pei Yan left and Wang Yuan came.
You, the student union of the Polytechnic University, actually went so far as to harass me at my door by lining up and putting your faces close to me!
If you continue to indulge her like this, won't she be seduced in the future? !
He stood up and said, "You can see that my store has a daily turnover of more than 10,000 yuan, and this is just one of my projects. I make tens of thousands of yuan a day. Do you think I'm busy?"
