Chapter 156 Can't Sleep
In March 2000, the owners of Taoyuanju received good news.
When relevant leaders from Bao'an District came to Taoyuanju for inspection, residents came out in droves and were outraged. When the chairman, Ms. Li, talked about the water and electricity problems and the garbage plant outside the community, she burst into tears out of grievance.
Perhaps the tears of Chairman Ms. Li moved the leaders of Bao'an District. On that day, the Bao'an District Government decided to close the garbage plant and transform it into an ecological park to completely improve the surrounding environment of Taoyuanju.
When this news came, Wang Xiuren finally felt relieved.
Before, when Wang Xiuren was working at a construction site in Taoyuanju, he saw that the residents there were faced with surrounding pollution problems every day, such as "flies flying everywhere, rats chasing on the ground, the stench penetrating the lungs, and the explosions that broke their hearts." He did not dare to tell his family and could only worry silently.
Now, I can finally find time to connect and renovate the two houses.
Lin Qiu has no time to pay attention to these things now.
In her opinion, the house in Jinxiu Garden is big enough to live in, and the house in Taoyuanju will appreciate in value whether it is decorated or not.
One of the problems she now faces is how to extricate herself from the newsstand.
The newsstand has been in operation for more than seven years since 1992, and has contributed huge economic benefits to the family.
But during the Spring Festival, when the family of three were walking on the street, she discovered that a small shop on the corner of the street was actually a small Internet cafe.
She later went there to check it out and found that there were less than ten computers inside, but there were quite a few people waiting inside, even though the Internet fee was ten yuan an hour.
Lin Qiu suddenly wanted to seize this trend and open an Internet cafe.
She remembered that the first Internet cafe appeared in her hometown when her daughter was in junior high school.
At that time, the management was lax. You didn’t need an ID card, and it didn’t matter whether you were an adult or not. You could go online as long as you paid the money.
So in the Internet cafe, there is one person surfing the Internet and a group of people watching.
One person got off the plane, and a group of people scrambled for a seat.
In just half a year, the boss bought a house in the county town.
In less than three years, the boss became the richest man in town.
Of course, because his Internet cafe did not restrict minors, its reputation was not very good, but that did not affect his ability to seize opportunities and become wealthy.
Seeing that there are already Internet cafes on the streets of Pengcheng, it is expected that it will not be long before Internet cafes appear in the streets and alleys of Pengcheng like mushrooms after rain.
Lin Qiu began to feel restless and couldn't sleep at night.
That night, Wang Xiuren found that Lin Qiu was still awake late at night and tossing and turning in bed. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore.
He rolled over, pressed the switch on the bedside and turned on the light.
The bright yellow light suddenly came on, and it was so bright that people's eyes closed involuntarily. After a long time, their eyes slowly adapted and opened.
"Tell me, what is so important that you cannot eat or sleep well for several days in a row?" Wang Xiuren stared at Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu didn't intend to hide it, but he didn't know how to talk to him about opening an Internet cafe.
After all, Lin Qiu was an ordinary woman with low education level both in her past life and in this life.
Although I came out early in my life and gained a lot of experience, the Internet cafe industry was too far away from me.
After all, up to now, except for Wang Shan who took computer classes at school, no one in the family has actually touched a computer, let alone opening an Internet cafe.
Under such circumstances, Lin Qiu didn't know how to explain to Wang Xiuren why he thought of opening an Internet cafe.
You can't say that I dreamed about immortals.
Even Wang Shan probably wouldn’t believe this reason, let alone Wang Xiuren.
Lin Qiu frowned and thought for a long time, but did not speak.
Wang Xiuren sighed, "We have been married for so many years, is there anything that cannot be said directly?"
Lin Qiu took a deep breath and gave him a heads-up: "Let me make it clear first, don't ask why. I just don't know. I can only guarantee that this will not harm our family."
After hearing what she said, Wang Xiuren sat up straight and said, "I promise not to ask why."
Lin Qiu finally mustered up the courage to speak: "I want to open an Internet cafe."
"Internet cafe? What is this?"
Wang Xiuren only knew the word "Wangba". This was the first time he heard the word "Internet cafe".
Lin Qiu knew that this matter would be difficult to explain, "Internet cafe, um, Internet cafe is a place where you can surf the Internet."
"Surf the Internet?" Wang Xiuren was even more confused.
Which internet? Spiders surf the web.
Do I need to keep spiders at home? Can this thing be raised? There's no use raising it!
"Oh!" Lin Qiu couldn't explain it clearly. "It's just, just playing computer games, opening a place to play computer games."
computer?
Wang Xiuren knew this as it had appeared on TV. His daughter now also has computer classes and I heard that students have to wear shoe covers to enter the classroom.
"Aren't computers used to learn knowledge? How can we also use them for fun?" Wang Xiuren wondered.
"You can download games to the computer for everyone to play." Lin Qiu has played mobile games, and so on.
"Oh, isn't this just opening a game hall?" Wang Xiuren understood.
"This computer is like a game console. We buy it and people pay money to play, right?"
Lin Qiu thought about what he said and felt that what Wang Xiuren said seemed to be correct, but he always felt that something was wrong and he couldn't put his finger on why, so he could only nod.
"That's about what it means!"
Wang Xiuren leaned against the headboard and thought, "It should be very expensive to open this Internet cafe, right? I think the computers there are not cheap."
"It costs a lot of money to buy computer equipment, run network cables, and rent a storefront. When you add it all up, it's probably not a small amount."
Lin Qiu is so conflicted because the cost of opening an Internet cafe is too high.
"Are you sure you can make money?" Wang Xiuren spoke after a long time.
Speaking of this, Lin Qiu became excited. "I asked around, and now it costs ten yuan an hour to surf the Internet! There are so many people rushing to use it!"
"Ten dollars an hour?" Wang Xiuren was shocked.
In his opinion, it is better to use the ten dollars to buy some food than to spend it on a game, at least he can fill his stomach.
"So it is certain that there is money to be made in opening an Internet cafe. At least it is more profitable than a newsstand or a convenience store." Lin Qiu firmly believed it.
"But we don't have a venue and we don't understand computers, so this is always a hassle." Wang Xiuren pointed out the problem incisively.
"Yeah!" Lin Qiu sighed, "I know this is a golden hen, but I can't catch it, so I can't sleep."
Now it’s not only Lin Qiu who can’t sleep, even Wang Xiuren is affected.
After all, there is such a big carrot hanging in front of him, and Wang Xiuren is not a saint, so how can he not be tempted?
