Return To 1998

Regarding the renovation of the house, Tongdao Xu found his eldest cousin Wu Changxing.

Wu Changxing works as a mason. In the original time and space, Xu Tongdao went to the construction site with Wu Changxing to work for a period of time. He was assured of Wu Changxing's craftsmanship and attitude.

Besides, when he opened this barbecue last year, Wu Changxing also lent him money.

This time he has a house that needs to be renovated, so he will naturally consider Wu Changxing first.

Tongdao Xu not only entrusted the mason's work to Wu Changxing, but also handed over all aspects of the decoration to Wu Changxing.

This includes buying materials and finding carpenters, painters, and more.

He didn't have so much time to pay attention to the decoration, and no one in the family knew about the decoration, so he left it to his elder cousin Wu Changxing, which was more worry-free.

Of course, before handing over all these matters to Wu Changxing, Xu Tongdao first told Wu Changxing about the effect he wanted to decorate.

He will occasionally take time to take a look, and if something is not doing as well as he expected, he will definitely say it.

In fact, several bungalows and a small courtyard can be renovated and renovated quickly. In two days, the roof will be renovated.

In another two days, the exterior, interior and exterior walls of several houses were all repainted, and another day later, the cement floor of several houses was also finished, including the ground in the yard, which was poured into concrete. the ground.

Tongdao Xu took a look and felt that the whole yard was much cleaner and fresher.

After the concrete floor was poured, it stopped for a few days.

It takes time for concrete to set.

A few days later, the floor tiles were laid, and after that, it was the carpenters who came to work.

Suspend the ceiling for the three main rooms, kitchen, wardrobe, bed, Baxian table, bench, etc.

The painter's work was done, and the painter began to enter.

Time flies, the house hasn't been renovated yet, and the school has started on Xu Tonglu. There is no way, Xu Tongdao can only let him live on campus temporarily.

Anyway, the school accommodation fee is not much this year.

On the day Xu Tonglu went to the County No. 1 Middle School to sign up and pay the fee, Xu Tongdao didn’t have time to send him personally, so he had to ask his cousin Ge Lianghua to do it for him.

He himself had to go to work in Zhiweixuan on time.

After a few days,

He got his driver's license.

His cousin Ge Lianghua is still a long way off.

This is also normal. After all, in the original time and space, he would drive, and it would be no difficulty for him to test a driver's license again.

On the afternoon of the third day after he got his driver's license, he also bought the second-hand van he wanted.

These days, although there are not as many cars on the roads of Shuidiao as after 20 years, there are still quite a few. In Shazhou County, it may not be easy to buy a good second-hand van.

But in the huge water bird city, in 1999, if you want to buy a second-hand van, there are still some options.

What makes Xu Tongdao feel that his fate is strange is that this time he bought a Wuling.

Not the Wuling Hongguang that he opened the most in his original time and space.

This time, what he bought seems to be the earliest batch of vans launched by Wuling.

So, sitting in this silver-gray van and feeling the steering wheel, Xu Tongdao felt that fate was really wonderful.

Unexpectedly, when he was reborn, the first van he bought was the Wuling that he drove the most in his previous life.

He personally drove the car back to Shazhou County.

The driving experience along the way is, of course, not a good one.

But definitely stronger than a tractor.

At least it's not that loud.

What's more, he wouldn't ask too much of a second-hand car bought for ten thousand dollars.

On the way out of the city by car, he subconsciously glanced at a small Internet cafe on the side of the road.

He has been following this small Internet cafe for more than half a month.

He had noticed this small Internet cafe from the moment it first appeared. Now that half a month has passed, he noticed that when he passed by the entrance of the small Internet cafe, there were no empty seats.

The figures of young men and women filled the small Internet cafe.

This gave him a sense of urgency.

He wants to open an Internet cafe!

I want to open my first Internet cafe as soon as possible.

Because he remembered that not long after he entered the society in the original time and space, Internet cafes had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and large and small Internet cafes could be seen in the streets and alleys.

Moreover, what impressed him was that all the Internet cafes he had seen were doing very good business.

Internet cafes with better locations are not only full every day, but also people line up every day.

Internet access has once become the most popular and popular form of entertainment for young people.

At the time, he liked it himself.

When I have free time, I like to go in and play for two hours.

But Internet cafes were very expensive at that time.

Around 2003, a small Internet cafe cost $5 or even $2 for an hour of play.

Moreover, he also heard that it used to be more expensive.

At present, he has seen three small Internet cafes in the urban area.

In Shazhou County, no one was found.

He felt like he was going to hurry up.

He knows very well that, at least for the next 10 years, opening an Internet cafe... very profitable!

Compared with him selling barbecues, selling whole sheep feasts, etc., he has a lot more money.

As long as there is a small Internet cafe of its own, it is really 24 hours, and it is constantly making money.

During the day, some people come to play.

In the evening, there are also many young people who choose to pack the night.

If you can try to open a few more Internet cafes in the next few years, it will be no different from opening a money printing machine.

With this in mind, when he drove the car to Shazhou County and parked it in front of his barbecue shop, Ge Lianghua and others ran out of the shop and circled around the car in amazement, looking here and there. Touching, when I couldn't help asking him this or that question, Tongdao Xu seemed a little absent-minded.

He was still thinking about all aspects of opening an Internet cafe.

For example, funds, he is not sure if the funds he currently has are enough.

At the beginning of August, he had more than 150,000 deposits on hand.

Then I bought a house, plus decoration, it has cost more than 30,000 yuan, nearly 40,000 yuan.

I bought a second-hand van today and spent more than 10,000 yuan.

These two expenses cost him almost 50,000.

However, in the past month or so, it was the peak season for barbecues. The business in his shop was very good, so he saved another 30,000 yuan.

In this way, he currently has about 130,000 in his hands.

If you think of a way to borrow some from relatives, you may be able to collect another 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

In this case, he can spend 150,000 to 60,000 yuan to invest in Internet cafes.

Rent...If you don't rent a prosperous shop, the rent should be very cheap. It's not like 20 years later, a random shop will cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rent a year.

computer……

He knew that computers were not cheap these days.

But he had heard before that the hard disks of computers in Internet cafes could be shared, so the cost in this regard could be reduced.

Also, I don't know if the current transmission speed of the network cable in Shazhou County can support the needs of an Internet cafe.

It is estimated to be difficult.

After all, this is the county seat, and in this respect it may not be as good as the urban area of ​​Water Bird City.

Also, if you open an Internet cafe, you must have someone who understands computers as a network administrator to maintain the normal operation of all the computers in the Internet cafe.

This... may also need to go to the city to find.

Thinking about it, Xu Tongdao suddenly had an idea - if this is the case, why don't I go to the city to find a place to open an Internet cafe?

Isn't the rent a little more expensive?
