On September 22, Lianxiang's acquisition of the domain name did not spread. It only spread in a small circle and spread bit by bit.
Even in school, only the principal knows.
Rather than becoming famous, Lu Fei cares more about receiving the 200,000 yuan as scheduled.
In the past two days, he and Lu Yun visited places outside. The eldest brother had obviously done enough homework and recorded all the information in a small notebook. At this time, the two brothers walked through the streets again, introducing themselves half-scripted, and wandered around the downtown area all morning.
This is the most Nancheng-style place in Yanjing and the most prosperous place in Xuanwu, Xicheng. It is connected to Financial Street in the north and across Chang'an Street. Among them, Wenchang, Wenhua and New Culture Streets are famous and wealthy.
The one Lu Fei likes is New Culture Street, which is close to home. It takes more than 20 minutes by bicycle.
"Second brother, why don't you go check out other places?"
Lu Yun hesitated. There was already an Internet cafe on this street.
Lu Fei didn't take it seriously. He put his hands in his pockets and went to this "Pioneer Internet Cafe" to check out the details. When he walked in, he saw that the Internet area on the left was full and even overflowed.
Many people without computers stood behind people surfing the Internet and watched with great interest.
"There is no computer anymore, we have to wait for a while." The boss is tall and thin, with sharp and thin eyes, staring at the screen, clicking the mouse to play "The Legend of Jin Yong".
You didn't learn the most powerful martial arts, wild ball boxing?
Lu Fei squinted his eyes and slowly glanced around the Internet cafe, and finally his eyes fell on the wall behind the bar.
Throwing a cigarette to the boss, he asked casually: "Hey, boss, all the Internet cafes I often went to had Internet cafe certificates. Why don't you have one? Isn't it a black Internet cafe?"
The boss glanced at it and said, "What's wrong with the black Internet cafes? They just need a license. There are many black Internet cafes that don't even have business licenses, and no one is taking care of them."
"But I heard from other Internet cafe owners that the management will soon be standardized. If you don't get the certificate, what will happen if there is a strict investigation?"
"I heard him scare me. He kept telling me the same thing every time I came here. I haven't applied for a certificate for three years and it's still fine. Every time I get checked, it's not like thunder and rain, but it just passes by in a fool's errand."
The boss was nonchalant, showing the unique shrewdness of a businessman, "So what if there are regulations? Regulations are all enforced by people. If you want to go online, feel free to come. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
Lu Fei said: "But there is a licensed Internet cafe nearby, so you are not afraid of competition?"
The boss said cheerfully: "I'm afraid! The computers at my home cost RMB 8,000 or 9,000 for the best ones, and the best ones have tens of thousands. They have high configuration, good peripherals, and are fun to play games. Unless his family also has the same conditions, no certificates or certificates will be issued." What nonsense, isn’t it?”
"Huh? Yes, yes."
Lu Fei was smiling on his face, and he was also smiling in his heart.
Worrying is completely unnecessary. Sooner or later, this black Internet cafe will be exposed.
"Brother, we don't compete with it, and we are not afraid of competition. The one with 110 square meters just now, I think it is good, how much is the rent?"
Infected by his confidence, Lu Yun opened the notebook and said, "21,000 for half a year, which is equivalent to 1 yuan per square meter per day, but the landlord only accepts payment for half a year or one year."
"The location is fine, that's fine."
Lu Fei smacked his lips, the house prices in Yanjing were expensive, and the shops were not cheap either. A house worth more than 30 square meters dared to ask for 50,000 yuan.
"Brother, what's the cheapest one you can find in Xuanwu?"
Lu Yun said doubtfully: "Two or three hundred, but that's not a shop, it's a small bungalow that can't accommodate a few computers. Hey, second brother, I haven't asked yet, why do you want me to count this?"
Lu Fei naturally wants to rent, and the most he can accept is one deposit and three payments.
Lu Yun was confused by the operation. One family was not enough, so why did he have to have two? Just do it. The second house you chose is remote, narrow, and far away from the first house. What is this for?
What Lu Fei is coveting is the Internet cafe certificate. Counting his own courtyard, there is no guarantee that he can get three of them.
Before 2002, the state's management of Internet cafes was very loose. Even if illegal Internet cafes did not apply for a license, they would not be cleared.
If you want to get on the boat first and then replenish your ticket, you only need to submit the materials, and an office of the Cultural Affairs Bureau will stamp it for you.
Without him, it will stimulate the information industry and solve employment problems.
However, after the "Blue Speed" Internet cafe fire incident occurred, Internet cafes were immediately investigated and dealt with strictly, a large-scale cleanup operation of illegal Internet cafes was launched, and the Internet cafe license was suspended and replaced with a license change.
The threshold for applying for a certificate has suddenly been raised. For example, the number of computers must be no less than 100, and the business area must be no less than 250 square meters.
As soon as the policy came out, Internet cafe licenses were instantly in demand, with prices ranging from a small span every year to a big span every three years.
Just like there are real estate speculation, shop speculation, and Internet cafe license speculation, speculation and speculation, with just a few pieces of paper, the price immediately soars to a terrifying level, because there is a price but no market.
The most exaggerated thing is that from 2005 to 2007, the golden age of the Internet cafe industry, Yanjing's Internet cafe license could be sold for a sky-high price of 800,000 to 900,000 yuan, which could earn back two or three Internet cafes.
The cost is only 10 yuan.
But he couldn't tell Lu Yun about this, so Lu Fei could only reveal the gossip on the pretext that Lianxiang's senior management was returning a favor.
Lu Yun was doubtful and did not object: "It needs decoration over there?"
"No, it's just a cover over there."
Lu Fei picked up a pen and drew a simple floor plan on the paper. He specially set up a space at the front desk to sell snacks, drinks and mineral water, especially instant noodles and ham.
Of course, it is not the perfect combination of Laotan pickled cabbage and Shuanghui.
Lu Yun patted his chest and said, "Leave the decoration to me. My former co-workers happened to have formed a decoration team."
The next day, the decoration team leader arrived home.
Lu Yun and Xiao Hongmei gathered together and spent a few words reminiscing about the time in the state-owned factory.
After reminiscing for a while, we talked about the current situation of the workers, unemployed, part-time workers, and those running stalls. Lu Yun's family was doing the best.
Xiao Hongmei sighed: "Thanks to my second child."
The decoration team leader was shocked when he saw Lu Fei hand over the design drawings.
Based on Han Yu's home, a minimalist style decoration was made. Materials such as tables, chairs, ceramic tiles, air conditioners, toilets, etc. were listed in a list, with choices and alternatives, down to the smallest details.
The decoration team leader couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "This house only needs minor repairs and modifications. Generally, plumbers, electricians, and carpenters will start the work first, and it will take four days to a week to modify the water and electrical circuits..."
Calculate the construction period carefully and make sure it takes about 15 days.
As for the wages, plus one yuan for various miscellaneous items, the total is just over 30,000.
"I can trust anyone who my elder brother and sister-in-law can trust. There will be many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Lu Fei drew the cake and made secret calculations in his mind.
If you don’t use your savings and deduct the 200,000 yuan for decoration, rent, Internet fees, network management salary, etc., you will still have about 130,000 yuan that can be spent on the computer.
Brand-name machines these days can cost anywhere from seven to eight thousand, with higher configurations costing tens of thousands. Assembling a machine is naturally the best solution.
When the time comes to purchase, you must call Han Yu, who is an expert in computers.
He asked: "Brother, what do you plan to name the Internet cafe?"
Lu Yun held Xiao Hongmei's hand, "Your sister-in-law and I have thought about it and combined our two brothers' names and called it 'Yunfei Internet Cafe'!"
…………
At night, the lights in the university dormitories are still on.
In a dormitory with four people, Hu Lanxin was on the phone. The roommate behind her urged her several times to remind her to time out.
Nowadays, there are no computers or mobile phones. People rely on this phone line to make calls. They have to queue up every night until the lights go out, and the line is always busy.
Therefore, you have to discuss the period and time of phone use.
The roommate waited impatiently: "Lan Xin, you have been fighting with your boyfriend for too long. It's me, it's me."
Hu Lanxin was reluctant and asked: "Yuanyuan, lend me your mobile phone and I'll pay for the phone call."
"I haven't bought it yet. Well, let me give you my time." Gao Yuanyuan turned over.
After a long while, Hu Lanxin was finally happy, clasped her hands together, and apologized profusely for taking up Gao Yuanyuan's time.
"It's okay, I can't think of anyone to chat with anyway."
"No way, where is that person?"
"Which one?"
Gao Yuanyuan knew who she was referring to, but she pretended to be confused.
After all, he only called once in so many days, and then nothing happened. If he didn't call himself, why should I call him?
Hu Lanxin lazily revealed her thoughts, and the topic turned to mobile phones, "You didn't say you would buy a mobile phone after filming, why didn't you buy one?"
"Of course I will buy it during the National Day sale. There is a discount in Zhongguancun. Can you come with me someday?"
Facing the invitation from her best friend, Hu Lanxin shook her head regretfully and had already made a trip with her family.
"Forget it, I'll go alone." Gao Yuanyuan looked lonely.
"How about the 1st? I'll leave in the afternoon?"
Hu Lanxin quietly flipped through the phone's call history, recalled the date and time, and quickly locked on a number. A smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, it was it!
