I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 55: Dog Licking? What is that?
There are not many computer stores in Box Hill. There is only one old computer store on the street behind Tianfu Restaurant, which has been in business for many years.

Most of the computers sold here are assembled computers. After entering the store, customers only need to check the required configuration according to the form provided by the front desk.

For Chen Xi, he naturally knows how to choose accessories with high cost performance.

Considering the future gaming market, a computer that can play League of Legends is enough. After all, few people will go to an Internet cafe to experience those large-scale stand-alone games.

"That's it, 30 Australian dollars each, and get units." Chen Xi looked at the list in his hand and said.

"Well, we'll add more machines when business picks up." Xiao Ming nodded.

"Wait until the decoration is completed and the business license is approved before buying." Chen Xi added.

After learning about the price of the computer and determining the required configuration, he planned to start handling the relevant matters of opening a store.

After all, it was only 06, and many things were a little different from his previous startups.

"Lao Zhang, give me some tofu pudding. I want to have a good chat with you."

"Sweet or salty?"

"Salty."

If you want to ask about opening a store, you naturally go to Zhang Guoqiang. After all, he has run a store here for more than ten years.

After an in-depth communication, Chen Xi had a general understanding of the situation.

The company registration process is roughly the same as in the past, and you still need to submit an application to the Australian Companies Authority (ASIC).

After successful registration, you will be issued a Company Number (ACN) and Business Number (ABN).

The final step is to go to the Tax Office (ATO) to register for tax.

However, it is worth mentioning that now it is 06, and the online application process is still very slow, and staff usually give priority to offline applications.

Therefore, this situation has also spawned a group of intermediary agencies that provide clients with a new service of quickly processing company registration applications.

Clients only need to pay a certain service fee, and the intermediary agency can use its special channels to quickly handle company registration matters for clients.

When it comes to fiber optics, you naturally have to find an operator. Currently, the two largest operators in Australia are Optus and Tpg.

Tpg will be far ahead of the former in the fiber optic business in the future, so he directly chose the most suitable one.

In the afternoon, he contacted an agency and paid a service fee of 200 yuan.

Since the Australian semester is relatively short, only about three months, semester exams are approaching.

In this life, he still decided to put more effort into his studies, and he devoted most of his time to intensive exam preparation.

"You've been working hard during this period."

One day, in the library, Shen Xinyi nodded in appreciation to Chen Xi who was reviewing diligently next to her.

"The exam is coming up soon, so I have to try my best."

Chen Xi held the book in his hand and answered casually. At this time, the exam was approaching and the library was crowded with people. Everyone was looking for a quiet corner to study.

This place has become the first choice for many students, and it is also convenient for students to print documents.

"Beauty, why don't you praise us? We work hard too." Xiao Ming said with a red face. He had never interacted with girls before.

"Your roommate is just like you, both are very talkative." Shen Xinyi glanced at Chen Xi.

Although Dongdong and Xiaoming did not communicate much with Shen Xinyi, they were all international students in China, and Shen Xinyi was a great beauty, so they were naturally happy to chat with her.

"That's not the case. They are both more talkative than me, especially when they see a beautiful woman."

Chen Xi took a look at the two funny guys in front of him. They were extremely excited when they saw the beautiful woman.

"What on earth did you eat to grow up? How come you are so strong?"

Zhang Ruoxi stared at Dongdong in front of her in surprise. His figure was obviously very different from that of his peers.

With his muscular limbs, powerful body, and steel-like pectoral muscles, he looks just like a professional gym trainer.

“Eat more vegetarian food!”

What Dongdong said was true. His daily diet was indeed mainly vegetarian, but he still consumed protein powder privately.

"Vegetarian? Can you gain so much weight by being a vegetarian?" Zhang Ruoxi stared at Dongdong's solid muscles with an expression of disbelief.

"What he said does make sense. Cows and horses all eat plants, yet they still have muscles all over their bodies."

Xiao Ming realized that he was being ignored, so he immediately started to explain to attract the attention of the two beauties. "If you can't talk, just say less. You are the one who is being treated like a cow or a horse."

"Well, you should go to the school gym to show off your muscles. This is a library."

"Haha, you guys are really interesting." Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two of them start to bicker.

"Chen Xi, what should you choose for this question?"

Shen Xinyi held the test paper in her hand, pointed at the question and gestured to Chen Xi.

"You study better than me, and you still ask me?"

Chen Xi glanced at the question and felt that it was not too difficult. He didn't understand why Shen Xinyi was confused about it.

"You don't know either?"

She noticed that Chen Xi was silent, so she blinked and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Choose C."

"why?"

"Because C is the longest answer."

"This is a foreign test, not a domestic test."

Shen Xinyi seemed very dissatisfied with his explanation.

Helplessly, Chen Xi could only explain the question in detail.

"I envy you so much. All the beautiful girls are around you."

"Yeah, my figure is obviously better, they really have no taste."

"Don't they say that men who work out can only attract men?"

On the way back, Xiao Ming and Dong Dong talked sourly. They both couldn't understand why they could never get the girls' attention.

"You look like dog-lickers. Which girl would like you?" Chen Xi curled his lips.

"Dog licker? What is that?" they both asked at the same time.

This hot word had not appeared yet at that time, so Chen Xi could only patiently explain it to them in a different way.

"Got it. Acting cool, huh?"

"That's fine. I'm the best at it."

"..."

Chen Xi didn't know how to answer these two idiots, he could only continue to concentrate on driving.

"The decoration company has been contacted. My uncle helped find it." After returning home, Xiao Ming looked at his mobile phone and said.

"What about the quality and price?" Chen Xi asked.

"We two went to check it out, and it's a normal internet cafe decoration, no problem."

“As for the price, my uncle personally negotiated with their boss, and since they are old customers, the price is much more favorable than other merchants.”

"Just a simple renovation, paint the walls and replace the carpet."

"Well, it's probably just over 10,000. The materials don't cost much, but the labor cost is a bit more expensive."

What Xiao Ming said is true, the labor cost in Australia is indeed high.

On a construction site, even doing simple bricklaying work can earn you thousands of Australian dollars a month.

Not only that, their working environment is also quite leisurely, and you can enjoy coffee and music during breaks.

There is no need to work on weekends, and there are fixed holidays every year.

"You can just go to IKEA to buy a computer desk. It's economical and affordable, although the quality is not very good."

"I have already contacted them about fiber optics, but the price is a bit high because fiber optics is not widely used in Australia and it needs to be wired."

"Ah."

After the three of them discussed it, Chen Xi felt that now was the time to talk to Wang Li and the others.
