Chapter 13: Geographical advantage

In February 2000, Chu City just launched the isdn business, but due to data traffic problems, except for a few computer rooms transformed into semi-network and semi-computer rooms, most computer rooms still did not provide network services. However, the fact that computer game rooms make money has also stimulated most families who want to make money. Computer game rooms have sprung up all over the city of Chu. However, during this period, most of them were family workshops, with only a few computers. The real large-scale network city will not appear in Chu City until one year later.

Lin Feng’s computer game room now has 7 computers, but there have been eight new ones in the Liaoyuan District, including Lin Feng’s one, and there are nine computer rooms in total. The supply and demand of the entire community is becoming saturated. However, you can still see the facade of the building is starting to renovate and preparing to open a new computer room.

Lin Feng knew that in another month, the computer room in Chu City would start a price war, and the hourly price of computers would rapidly drop from the current 3 yuan per hour to 2 yuan per hour. For this fierce price war, Lin Feng has long thought of a countermeasure-relocation.

Lin Feng plans to relocate the computer room to the Lanzhou District away from the city center. It seems remote, but in the following years it became the most popular place for Internet cafes. Because there is one university, two middle schools, and one elementary school, the location is unique. Although there are now seven or eight Internet cafes in the Lanzhou Special Zone, they are all small Internet cafes, with a maximum of 10 computers. Under the demand of a large number of students, it is not enough. Now it is definitely the best time to open an Internet city.

Chulian Bookstore is the only large-scale bookstore in the Lanzhou Special Zone. It has two floors and is nearly 1,000 square meters in size. However, although there are many schools here, the business is not good. The main reason is that the original books in bookstores are too expensive. Many students would rather take a taxi to the pirated book market in the city to buy books than here. After all, the price of buying a genuine book can buy three pirated books. Moreover, the appearance and content of the two are almost the same. For students who have no income, they will naturally choose to buy books at the pirated book market.

Chu Zhixuan, the owner of Chulian Bookstore, gritted his teeth and insisted on it for a year, but had to admit that the investment failed this time. I want to transfer the storefront and become a charter company dedicated to collecting rent. It has been more than a month since the storefront sales sign has been listed, and no one has ever come to take over. During the period, some people wanted to take over, but only rented the first floor. And Chu Zhixuan wants to rent out the two floors together. Otherwise, if you rent one floor, who will rent the second floor to. Because of this, the owner of Chulian Bookstore is still supporting the bookstore.

"Boss, are you renting out this shop?" Lin Feng took a fancy to this shop at a glance. The location is really good. It is close to the university and between the middle school and elementary school. If you open the Internet City, you will definitely make money. Two years later, there was indeed a foreign owner who opened an Internet city here, and became a leader in the Internet cafe industry in Chu City.

"You are" Chu Zhixuan looked at Lin Feng suspiciously.

Lin Feng was too young, and Chu Zhixuan had to wonder if he was here to make trouble.

"I want to buy this store. I don't know if the boss is there?" Lin Feng also knew that he was too young, and he was not an old man like Oden. It is normal to be suspected.

"Uh, I am the boss, sir, please come in and talk." Chu Zhixuan quickly invited Lin Feng into the reception room. As long as he can sell the shop, he is young or not.

"Boss, why don't you show me first." Lin Feng is anxious to see how the space is arranged. He has his own ideas. He hopes that the layout here can meet his liking, and it is best to not need to decorate it. No way, funds are limited!

"Excuse me, I want to ask first, do you want to take both floors, or only one floor?" Chu Zhixuan has also learned a lot. If Lin Feng only takes one floor, he won't be too lazy to take Lin Feng with him. Looked.

"Both floors are available." Lin Feng's words made Chu Zhixuan overjoyed, and he quickly closed the bookstore and led Lin Feng to visit all the way.

After a visit, Lin Feng was very satisfied. Not only was the layout of the house reasonable, but it was decorated only last year, so he almost didn't need to decorate it. I just don't know the price.

"The rent is twelve thousand per month, but you have to pay a deposit of 100,000 yuan first." Chu Zhixuan's words made Lin Feng stunned.

The two-storey store with nearly one thousand square meters under 12,000 yuan is not expensive, and the store needs to be at least 200,000 yuan in the city center. But for Lin Feng, the main problem is the 100,000 deposit. Lin Feng now has only two hundred and fifty thousand in cash on hand, and there is not much left after paying a deposit of one hundred thousand.

Lin Feng calculated that if he paid a deposit of 100,000, he could only add 25 more computers at most, plus the original 7 and only 32 computers. And this two-storey storefront can hold up to 500 computers, which is a little bit of space by then. But now that he is not playing, Lin Feng is afraid that as soon as he opens the computer room, someone will see the computer room making money and take it down. Then Lin Feng will regret it. And for future development, it is profitable and harmless to take an inventory here early.

"Boss" Lin Feng can only communicate with Chu Zhixuan now to see if he can get rid of the deposit. After all, he runs the computer room by himself, and the computers are all here, and he can't even run if he wants to.

"Boss, I don't have enough funds now, can you see if you can temporarily not pay the deposit." Lin Feng asked.

"No, how can this be done? If something happens to you and run away, who do I call." Chu Zhixuan shook his head repeatedly, resolutely denying it.

"Boss, how could I run? I'm also from Chu City. Look, this is my ID card. Where can I go." Lin Feng took out the ID card. "Otherwise, I will temporarily hold the ID card. In your case, you will return your ID card when you pay the deposit someday."

"This" Chu Zhixuan hesitated a little. After all, it had been a month since no one had come to order this shop. He also wanted to throw away this burden early and go home safely as a charterer.

"Boss, everyone is from Chu City, and I really want to take this store, so please do me a favor! I will definitely not mess around and cause you any trouble." Lin Feng strikes while the iron is hot.

"Brother, brother, I am older than you, so I ask you to call you brother." Chu Lian said in a deep voice, "Brother, I can see that you sincerely want to buy this store. Brother, I am also sincere. Want to rent out, you tell me the truth, what business are you going to do?"

Boss Chu Lian didn't know what Lin Feng used to do, so he had to ask clearly.

"Brother, let's tell you that, I want to open a network city." Lin Feng thought for a while and felt that there was nothing to hide, and he was not afraid that Chu Zhixuan would stop renting after hearing this.

"Net City? Little brother has good eyesight." Chu Zhixuan repeatedly praised Lin Feng's vision, and Lin Feng was inexplicable.

"Hehe, brother, I have long wanted to open an Internet cafe, but I am afraid of opening a bookstore, so I have never dared to open it." Chu Zhixuan smiled bitterly, "brother, to tell you the truth, the students in these four weeks have been stunned. There are few Internet cafes around the school and there is always no chance. You will definitely make money if you open an Internet city."

"Haha, thanks to my good words, I wonder if my brother can temporarily waive this deposit?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Brother, okay, who told us to join in." Chu Zhixuan really doesn't want to maintain this bookstore anymore, and Lin Feng's appearance is really harmless to humans and animals. Keep it first."

"Well, of course, of course." Lin Feng was also delighted. With an extra 100,000 yuan, he could be equipped with nearly 20 more computers.

"Uh" Chu Zhixuan stopped suddenly, thinking for a long time, looking embarrassed.

"Brother, if you have something to say straight." Lin Feng was also happy when he took this place.

"Brother, that brother, I just said it straight." Chu Zhixuan rubbed and said, his face turned reddishly, "brother, brother, I also want to invest in your network city, I wonder if my brother can agree?"

Lin Feng's expression changed when he heard it. It is absolutely impossible for him to let anyone interfere in his internet cafe. Otherwise, disputes will definitely arise in the future because of disagreements between everyone's ideas.
