Chapter 83



"What are you selling?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Fan was silent for two seconds and then spoke slowly.

"Compared to everyone else, I am the last one to enter the industry."

"We are all considered to be in a good position to open an Internet cafe on this street."

"As the saying goes, people of the same trade are enemies, but I don't think that applies to us..."

Someone at the scene chuckled.

"Boss Chen, what you said is a little too absolute."

The one who was laughing was the owner of another Internet cafe.

"As for my internet cafe, the number of customers has dropped significantly since the opening of Starry Sky Internet Cafe."

Others beside him nodded in agreement.

At this time, Lan Ji Su's boss, the middle-aged man, spoke again.

"Don't be impatient, Grandson. Just listen to what Boss Chen has to say."

After saying that, he looked up at Chen Fan.

"Boss Chen, please continue."

Chen Fan nodded in greeting and continued speaking.

"You may think that what I just said is nonsense, but in fact, I have a theoretical basis for what I said."

"Eighty percent of the customers of the Internet cafes on our street are from Yunhai University."

"And if even one-tenth of the students at Yunhai University go online every day, our Internet cafes can't handle so many customers."

"My Starry Sky Internet Cafe has just opened and is doing good business now. But at the end of the day, my Internet Cafe has less than one seat."

"Even if it's full every day, it only occupies one customer. The rest of the customers can be spread out in other Internet cafes."

"You all agree on this, right?"

The six bosses present were silent.

Obviously, what Chen Fan said makes sense.

"I admit that the decrease in customer base is partly due to the influence of my Starry Sky Internet Cafe, but more of the reasons are actually due to the old equipment, computer problems, and service problems of your Internet cafes..."

At this time, someone couldn't help it.

"You mean the decline in customers is our fault?"

Chen Fan said calmly: "At least part of it is your own fault."

Upon hearing this, some people couldn't stand it and wanted to refute it on the spot.

Chen Fan did not give the other party a chance to speak and spoke first.

"What I want to cooperate with you is that I can help you upgrade the configuration of the Internet cafe for free."

"Also, I can give everyone a free gift."

As he spoke, Chen Fan reached into his pocket and took out a floppy disk and handed it to Luo Wenjie who was standing beside him.

Luo Wenjie stood up and walked to the side, inserting the floppy disk into a computer nearby.

Soon, a picture appeared on the big screen in front of everyone.

Chen Fan said: "Some of you have visited my Starry Sky Internet Cafe, and some have not yet."

"Our Internet cafe now uses a smart management system."

"I think everyone should be familiar with this system. Some Internet cafe owners even use it in their own Internet cafes."

"But the smart system I'm going to show you is better than anything you've seen on the market."

“Because I developed this system myself.”

"Not only can it easily manage every computer in the Internet cafe, it can also perform a variety of other functions."

"For example, member registration management, member recharge, equipment maintenance, machine billing statistics, inquiry, offline settlement, blacklist management, statistical reports, etc...."

Chen Fan explained while demonstrating the operation to everyone.

The bosses who were originally full of hostility were now all staring at the screen intently.

Some people even stood up and walked over curiously.

"Tsk, tsk, I have to say, your system is more convenient and efficient than the management system currently used in my Internet cafe."

The owner of Blue Speed ​​Internet Cafe was amazed.

Chen Fan took the opportunity to ask, "Then may I ask, how much did you spend on the system you are using in the Internet cafe now?"

The middle-aged boss hesitated for a moment, then said, "I bought the Internet cafe management and billing system I'm using through connections. It cost me several thousand yuan, and I have to pay for it every year."

Chen Fan looked at the others again.

"I think it should be the same for everyone else, right?"

Several bosses remained silent, obviously Chen Fan was right.

At this time, the boss who had spoken before couldn't help it anymore.

"Boss Chen, what do you mean?"

"Are you asking us to promote your system?"

Chen Fan smiled.

"Since I just said it's a gift, it's naturally given to everyone for free. No fees will be charged."

Upon hearing this, all six bosses were stunned.

"Give it to us?"

"You really don't charge a penny?"

Chen Fan nodded.

"Yes. This is my meeting gift to everyone."

The six people had different expressions, some were excited, some were surprised.

At this time, the owner of Blue Speed ​​Internet Cafe couldn't help but stare at Chen Fan and asked.

"Boss Chen, I think you have other conditions?"

"You just said you called us over for two things?"

"What's the other thing?"

Chen Fan smiled.

"The second thing is something I think everyone will be more interested in."

Chen Fan stared at everyone and spoke slowly.

"As you may have noticed, there are eight Internet cafes on this street."

"There are seven bosses here today, and Zhang Xiaojun from Huiteng Internet Cafe is not here."

"As far as I know, if you open an Internet cafe on this street, you need to pay protection fees to Zhang Xiaojun, the owner of Huiteng Internet Cafe. Am I right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the six bosses present immediately became somewhat awkward.

Chen Fan smiled.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean to laugh at you."

"My internet cafe has just opened, and I only found out about this recently."

"Zhang Xiaojun contacted me before and pointed out this problem directly."

"But I don't like being threatened."

"So I didn't pay attention to his request."

Upon hearing this, several people looked at Chen Fan with surprise.

"You rejected his offer?"

"Boss Chen, did you have a fight with Zhang Xiaojun?"

Chen Fan said calmly: "I am doing business in an honest way, why should I pay him protection fees?"

"Not only will I not pay, I also hope that everyone will join me in resisting this injustice."

"Why should we give him the money we earn?"

The six bosses present had flickering expressions and looked at each other in the eye.

The owner of Blue Speed ​​Internet Cafe gave a wry smile.

"Boss Chen, I admire your courage."

"You don't know this, this Zhang Jun is a jerk."

"If you don't listen, he will keep causing trouble for you, and then you won't be able to do business anymore."

Someone took the initiative to talk about this matter, and others followed suit and started complaining.

"Alas, when I first opened my internet cafe, I did the same thing as Mr. Chen and rejected his request."

"What was the result? Someone came to cause trouble every day."

"Internet cafes simply cannot operate normally."

"And Boss Chen, you may not know that this Zhang Jun has a sister who is in the fire department."

"If you don't need him to say a word, he will come to your Internet cafe every two days to check the fire situation."

"Then they will just say your internet cafe doesn't meet fire safety standards and shut it down for rectification. Each shutdown will last for a month."

"Come here a few times and your internet cafe will be completely ruined..."

"Besides, Zhang Xiaojun is a scoundrel. He has too many disgusting methods."

"Who said it wasn't true? He almost closed my internet cafe..."

A few people started talking, one after another, and it turned into a complaining session.

In the end, I couldn't help but complain about Chen Fan. He was still too young and didn't know the ins and outs of this at all.

If you confront this kind of person head-on, there will be no good outcome.

Chen Fan sat in his seat, waiting for everyone to finish speaking.

Then he slowly spoke.

"I heard that everyone is also full of resentment towards Zhang Xiaojun, but they dare not speak out..."

"I have gathered everyone here today and I want to ask you a question."

"Everyone, do you have the courage to unite with me and fight against this injustice?"

With these words, the scene fell into silence.
