Chapter 3058 The Era of Internet Cafes Comes to an End

Chen Mo smiled and patted the two men on the shoulders heavily: "We are brothers, brothers for life."

Let's not dwell on those old, trivial matters.

Now that the shares are registered in your name, they are yours.

"Keep it safe, I'm not signing this contract."

"Brother Mo..."

Chan Ho-nam looked unwilling.

Chicken laughed loudly, "Brother Hao Nan, there's no need to worry about this."

From now on, we'll still work for Brother Mo. We'll just do whatever he tells us to do, right?

Upon hearing this, Chan Ho-nam laughed, his smile one of relief: "Alright, Brother Mo, since that's the case, let's not dwell on it anymore."

But both my company and Chicken's company are yours; you have ultimate command over both of them.

"it is good."

The three looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter.

Chen Haonan and Chicken seemed to see themselves 20 years ago, when they followed Chen Mo to build their empire.

After a long while, Chan Ho-nam finally asked, "Brother Mo, do you still have any money?"

"If you want to start another business, we can help you with a loan."

Chicken chimed in, "Yes, although internet cafes are becoming less and less profitable, I've still made hundreds of billions in the last 20 years."

There's something I can do to help you.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo nodded emphatically: "Starting a business is a must. I'm going to take back everything I've lost!"

With bloodshot eyes, Chan Ho-nam said, "Actually, I went to see Ma Teng and the others before."

This group of people are now all on the Forbes rich list, and several of them have been the richest people in China.

But what outsiders have no idea is that those companies belong to you!

You are the founder of the company!

"After you disappeared, they all used various means to transfer your shares to their own names."

When you returned recently, I specifically discussed with them that even if we didn't return the company to you, we should at least give you some shares so that your future life would be secure.

But they all chose to ignore us, and even mocked us, saying that we were petty thugs who didn't think things through.

I'm so angry I could die!

"I see……"

Chen Mo slightly raised his eyes, his gaze seemingly calm, and looked towards the distant horizon.

The moonlight illuminated the night sky, and countless stars surrounded the bright moon, seemingly vying for its brilliance.

The next moment, Chen Mo muttered to himself with a hint of mockery in his voice, "The stars want to compete with the moon for brilliance, but little do they know, the true protagonist is the sun!"

“These people are all wolves in sheep’s clothing. I knew what they were like from the beginning when I chose them.”

Having regained his memories, Chen Mo naturally knew the personalities of people like Ma Teng.

A person without ambition cannot succeed in starting a business!

Doing business is not fundamentally different from fighting a war; it's all about the winner taking all!

So Chen Mo gathered a group of ambitious people who could devour wolves and tear apart tigers!

This group of people are ambitious but have no conscience; they prioritize profit above all else.

When Chen Mo was around, he could keep them in check, but after he disappeared, the group was leaderless, and naturally, a rebellion would break out.

Those people were quite clever; they knew they couldn't handle the share transfer on their own, so they found a backer to help them complete the task.

"Brother Mo, how do we deal with those ungrateful people?"

"Just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"

Pheasant snorted coldly, his blood boiling: "After being an entrepreneur for so many years, sometimes I really miss the days of fighting and killing!"

They call us thugs and brainless? I'd like to see how much of their high intelligence will be useful when a knife is to their throats!

Although Chan Ho-nam didn't speak, his increasingly sinister gaze revealed his attitude.

He suffered 20 years of torment from his conscience; if it weren't for the fact that he had so many people to support, he would have had a mental breakdown long ago.

With just a word from Chen Mo, he could completely transform from an entrepreneur back into the petty hoodlum he used to be!

"Hey, don't be impulsive!"

Chen Mo smiled slightly, a playful look on his face: "I have plenty of ways to play them!"

Chen Mo is no pushover!

Having lived two lives and even seen a real god, his knowledge far surpasses that of the people in this world!

"This matter cannot be rushed; taking it slowly will be faster."

Chen Mo smiled, his expression natural.

"We're definitely on your side, Brother Mo. Whoever you say you'll take down, we'll take down!"

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Chen Haonan became excited, his fading heroic spirit rekindled, and his eyes shone with admiration as he stared intently at Chen Mo.

No one knew better than Chen Mo how capable he was back then!

The alliances of the Seagull Alliance, the Hegemon Kingdom, the Six Kingdoms of Southeast China, the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, and the Yin-Yang Kingdom, among others, were all utterly defeated by Chen Mo!

What are Ma Teng and his group compared to them?

"Stop acting like a thug. You're an entrepreneur now, so why are you still so menacing?"

Chen Mo said with a helpless smile.

Chan Ho-nam wasn't angry. He just smiled sheepishly, just like the big boy with long, dyed yellow hair from twenty years ago.

"By the way, Chicken, you really should get rid of your internet cafe business as soon as possible."

Chen Mo believes in the true way.

The decline of the internet cafe industry actually began in 2013. The core turning point was the popularization of 4G networks and the rise of smartphones, which directly diverted most of the demand for internet access.

After 2015, the decline accelerated. The public release of hit mobile games such as "Honor of Kings" directly impacted the core PC game gaming scene in internet cafes, resulting in a large-scale loss of customers.

After 2016, the number of companies in the industry continued to shrink from its peak of hundreds of thousands. From 2019 to 2023, more than 10 companies went out of business, averaging 100 closures per day.

This year is a pivotal turning point for internet cafes, the most important year ever.

Selling now is practically like selling at the peak, and it can also fool a lot of people who don't know anything about the market.

After all, Demon Ape Internet Cafe is still the number one chain internet cafe in the Great Xia, and it still has a large customer flow in various universities and commercial streets.

By next year, when everyone is releasing mobile games in droves, it will be much harder to fool people.

Chicken was taken aback: "Brother Mo, is the internet cafe really going to close down?"

Chen Mo nodded: "This year is the last year of its last gasp. Starting next year, the internet cafe business will be cut in half again."

The Great Xia Dynasty will fully enter the mobile era; people will no longer be confined to internet cafes for surfing the internet and playing games.

The pheasant sighed rather dejectedly, "I see..."

Chan Ho-nam slapped Chicken on the forehead: "Would Brother Mo cheat you? Hurry up and figure out a way to sell the business!"

The pheasant shook his head: "I just feel that my era is gone forever."

Ah, those were the days when I used to pick up girls, surf the internet, play games, and even get into fights in internet cafes!

Unexpectedly, a small mobile phone has now defeated an internet cafe with hundreds of computers and covering thousands of square meters.

With such a small screen, why do you think so many people are addicted?
