Reborn in 2000 as a scholar
Chapter 68 Internet Cafe Advice and Playing Cards
After breakfast, Lin Jinqi received a call from his uncle.Uncle Lin, Mama Lin and others bought the two properties of Student Street and Youth Plaza, and they also moved to the idea of running a business by themselves.Uncle Lin's personality is quite out of character, and the boring state-owned enterprise work is not suitable for him at all. Because of work, the relationship between Uncle Lin, Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin is very bad.
In the previous life, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin had long-term conflicts because of work, which led to the final divorce.However, after buying Student Street in this life, Uncle Lin heard Lin Jinqi say that computers talk too much, so he also came up with the idea of opening an Internet cafe.The development speed of Internet cafes in China has always been very rapid. It was not until the outbreak of an Internet cafe incident in Beijing that it entered a recession period, but even in the recession period, the prosperity of Internet cafes continued until the early 2010s.
But now is the early stage of the golden age of Internet cafes, computer houses are still the mainstream, and large-scale Internet cafes have not yet appeared, so it is time for Uncle Lin to enter the market.Especially Lin Xiaojiu is a Shanghai-style person with a relationship between black and white. This kind of identity is very good for running an Internet cafe.And because it is rare for Uncle Lin to settle down to start a business, both Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin felt that "the prodigal son will not change his money", so they supported Uncle Lin's business.
Uncle Lin's "Times Pioneer Internet Cafe" is located in the westernmost section of Student Street, which is directly opposite the east gate of Nanhu Institute of Technology in the future, and it happens to be a prime location in the future.Uncle Lin asked for three outlets at once, and opened up an Internet cafe that is currently the largest in Shuangxing City in one go.With the help of friends, Uncle Lin's computer hardware didn't cost too much money, and compared with other computer houses and Internet cafes, the cost still has a little advantage.
When Lin Jinqi arrived, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were studying the latest Internet cafe business license in the office on the second floor.It is very convenient to apply for this certificate now, but after the incident in an Internet cafe in Beijing, this certificate has been strictly controlled.And the transfer price of the old certificate also flew directly from 1 yuan to 10 yuan. Lin Jinqi originally thought about whether he should also start a free-riding business, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.This business is probably not that clean. If the country wants to check you someday, there will be a lot of trouble.
"Jinqi, what do you think of your little uncle's Internet cafe? I specially found someone to copy the decoration style of the Internet cafe from Guangdong Province. Is it high-end?" Although Lin Xiaojiu is ignorant in many aspects, he is good at eating and drinking. In terms of fun, there are indeed people with two brushes.
The decoration style of Pioneer Internet cafes in the whole era is indeed very beautiful at this time. The small Internet cafes and computer rooms are dark and cramped. The large floor-to-ceiling windows and bright lights make the first impression of Internet cafes very comfortable. Coupled with the cooperation of the ceiling fan and the exhaust fan, the air circulation in the whole space is also very smooth, without a dull feeling.
"It's really beautiful, but it can be even more beautiful." Lin Jinqi has seen the decoration style of large-scale chain Internet cafes and upgraded versions of Internet cafes in later generations. They are really high-end and upscale.Moreover, Lin Jinqi found that the operators of Internet cafes in this era have not yet had the habit of targeting consumers. In addition to the ordinary machines, Internet cafes in later generations also have special game areas, film and television areas, and girls' areas, especially for TV. Competitors also have a high-end e-sports area.
The consumption in the ordinary area of Internet cafes is only 2 yuan an hour, but the game area costs 5 yuan, and the high-end e-sports area ranges from 10 to 20 yuan.But even though the game area and e-sports area are expensive, there are still an endless stream of players who come to spend.As for the girl's section, it is to stimulate boys' consumption to put it bluntly.
To put it simply, as long as there are more girls coming to entertainment consumption places, there will naturally be more boys.Why do many bars and nightclubs treat girls as "two people traveling together for free", or even "basic consumption for girls is free"?It's very simple, as long as the number of girls increases in this kind of occasion, no matter how expensive the basic consumption of storage is, boys will willingly come in and be slaughtered.
"Then tell me, what else needs to be improved?" Uncle Lin became interested and motioned Lin Jinqi to continue.
"First of all, it is best to register the trademark of 'Times Pioneer Internet Cafe', and find a more reliable designer to make a striking logo. I think the style can be borrowed from Transformers to highlight the sense of science fiction. The purpose of the registered trademark It is for the future that when we become bigger and stronger, we can open a chain of Internet cafes in Shuangxing City and even Nanhu Province." Lin Jinqi said.
Later, although the country strictly controlled the number of Internet cafes, it also encouraged Internet cafes to expand and form chains. Therefore, chaining large Internet cafes must be the correct path for the future development of Internet cafes.
"When decorating Internet cafes, the metallic gray color is often used, including the computer desks and chairs and the cashier counter, and try to make the simple style popular abroad. Moreover, Internet cafes must be operated in different areas, and the first floor and the second floor must be divided into two parts. The so-called smoking area and non-smoking area.
The ventilation of the smoking area on the first floor should be strengthened. Although some people like to smoke, it does not mean that they like to be surrounded by smoke.Therefore, in addition to the exhaust fan of the window, it is best to have a suspended ceiling, and put some exhaust fans at some distance in the suspended ceiling.The smoking area on the first floor can then be subdivided, half of which can be used with relatively common machines, and the charges can be relatively cheap, while the other half can be divided into game area, chat area and advanced competition area.
The advanced competitive area does not need too many machines, between 5 and 15 machines are enough.It is necessary to ensure the highest configuration, the largest screen and the fastest network speed, and then various mainstream battle games and battle platforms must be installed.It is best to establish a cooperative relationship with those battle platforms and get some Internet cafe benefits.The game area must ensure that the games are the most complete and up-to-date, while the chat area must ensure that the video heads and headsets are good enough and new enough.
The non-smoking area on the second floor should also be divided into a separate area for girls. The decoration style can be a little more cute, and then they will be replaced with fresh green plants and potted flowers, and then it will be clean and properly scented. "
While Lin Jinqi was talking over there, Uncle Lin was actually recording there.After Lin Jinqi finished speaking, Uncle Lin sighed: "Fortunately, I haven't finished the formal decoration, otherwise, according to what you said, wouldn't it be completely redecorated? But even so, a little decoration is a waste. By the way, what do you think? How should we set the price? It’s 3 yuan an hour in the city now.”
"Then our general area is 2 yuan an hour; the chat area is 3 yuan; the non-smoking area and the game area are 5 yuan; the girls' area is also 5 yuan; the e-sports area is 8 yuan." After Lin Jinqi said the price, Then he added, "We can also launch our Pioneer membership card, recharge 100 yuan and get 10 yuan, which is our ordinary member; then recharge 200 yuan and get 20 yuan as our senior member; recharge 500 yuan and get 50 yuan." Our VIP members: Ordinary members get [-]% off online, senior members get [-]% off; VIP members get [-]% off online, and also get [-]% off on beverages and snacks purchased in our Internet cafes.
By the way, little uncle, a small grocery store will be built in the Internet cafe, mainly selling drinks, snacks, instant noodles and so on.The price of groceries in Internet cafes is generally about 50% more expensive than that outside. After all, we can make a lot of money here. "
The income from beverages and snacks in Internet cafes is actually the main profit point of many chain Internet cafes or large Internet cafes. Because of their large consumption, it is easy for wholesalers to get discounts, and the unit price of Internet cafes is 50 more expensive than outside Internet cafes. % above, so the profit is very considerable.
"But with such a high price, girls may not come, right?" the little aunt interrupted.
For Aunt Lin, Mother Lin's perception is actually quite complicated.Mother Lin laughed at herself that the four sisters were all foolish characters, and even Aunt Lin later was also a straightforward and foolish person, but only Aunt Lin was quite shrewd.In fact, when Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin had a good relationship, Aunt Lin's shrewdness was from outsiders.However, as the relationship between Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin deteriorated, Aunt Lin's shrewdness would trick Mama Lin and Aunt Lin from time to time, which made Mama Lin and Aunt Lin's evaluation of Aunt Lin plummet.But now Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin are still of the same mind, so Aunt Lin does think about many things more than Uncle Lin.
"That's why we launched a girls' card in addition to the membership card." Lin Jinqi said, "The girl's card is 50 yuan for 10 yuan, and also enjoys a [-]% discount on the Internet fee. But this kind of card is only for girls. , and only for consumption in the girls’ area. By the way, little uncle, when the time comes to design the cards, the colors of ordinary membership cards, senior membership cards, VIP membership cards and girls’ cards must be different, at least for consumers to hold in their hands I feel classy and won’t just throw them around.”
Now the production cost of the card is actually not cheap, and major merchants have not yet learned the marketing strategy of all kinds of consumer cards and membership cards, so as long as their own membership cards are well-made, I believe consumers are willing to hold them in their hands.
"My suggestion is to use silver for ordinary cards; gold for high-end cards; black for VIP cards; pink for girls' cards. The design of the cards should follow the bank cards, and they should be graded."
"Is it unlucky to use black for the VIP card?" Uncle Lin also asked a question, "Or make it as shiny as a diamond?"
"If the card is made in that exaggerated and shiny style, absolutely no one likes to hold it in their hands." Lin Jinqi said, "I'll just ask my little uncle, if your bank card is shining with colorful lights, would you still be willing to use this card?" Is the card in your wallet?"
After hearing Lin Jinqi's description, Uncle Lin immediately shook his head.
"In fact, the top credit cards of many banks are all black. This is the Centurion Card from American Express Bank. This top credit card is also called a 'black card'. It has no overdraft limit and there are many discounts. For example, if you want Rent a plane, call the credit card company, and guarantee that a plane will be waiting for you at the airport within half an hour."
"Are you bragging?" Uncle Lin didn't believe it.
Lin Jinqi remembered that it was still some time before the black card entered the domestic consumer market. At this time, many people in the mainland had just accepted debit cards, let alone credit cards, let alone debit cards represented by black cards.
"Are you bragging? After my little uncle builds a chain of Internet cafe empires, see if any credit card company will send you a 'black card' invitation." Lin Jinqi was not in a hurry to get entangled in this detail.
"Oh, that's right. Uncle, apart from being better than other Internet cafes in terms of machine configuration, network speed and price, the most important thing is the service details. Because I can do things like configuration, network speed and price, You can do it too, it’s easy for everyone to copy it. But the service is very rare, even if they want to copy it, it’s definitely not something that can be done in a day or two.”
Lin Jinqi introduced the details of Haidilao's service to Uncle Lin, but he used his experience in Korean Internet cafes as a pretext.When Lin Jinqi introduced Haidilao's detailed service, Uncle Lin was stunned.
"Although it sounds complicated, to put it simply, we have to think farther than customers. Before customers feel uncomfortable, we have to feel uncomfortable for them. For example, the Internet cafe service in the girls' area, Uncle Lin Can you think of some advice? Let girls feel that surfing the Internet in the girls' section is better than other places."
"The ones that don't smoke are clean, and they are all girls, so they feel more secure." Uncle Lin gave a few examples.
"Other Internet cafes can do these things, so why come to our Internet cafe?" Lin Jinqi said. "Little uncle, have you ever thought about why girls come to the Internet? What is their main purpose of going online?"
"I've seen it in other Internet cafes. Girls come to the Internet to chat and watch TV dramas." Uncle Lin replied.In fact, Uncle Lin is also working very hard for his Internet cafe business. According to Aunt Lin, Uncle Lin has stayed in all the Internet cafes in Shuangxing City in the past two months. Some popular Internet cafes even stayed for a week, just to get to know others How is it done.
"That's right, since the purpose of girls surfing the Internet is these two, then we have to do what others have not done in these two." Lin Jinqi said.
Now is the era of the most disorderly development of the Internet, and the so-called copyright is simply a joke in this era.Although Lin Jinqi seems to respect copyright, but in the era when everyone is pirating, it is impossible for him to be "alone".In the end, Lin Jinqi could only convince himself that since everyone was like this, then he could be regarded as "one with the light".
"We need to make sure that the computer server in the girl's area has the most and the latest TV dramas, and don't limit yourself to TV dramas from Hong Kong and Taiwan. You should also watch more TV dramas from Japan, Korea, the United States, and the UK. Anyway, there are so many on the Internet. The subtitle group, my little uncle and my aunt go up to pick out TV dramas if they have nothing to do, just tell the network administrator to download them. By the way, don’t miss those Korean variety shows and European and American reality shows.”
If Lin Jinqi remembers correctly, with the popularity of "Big Brother" and "Survivor", domestic reality shows in Europe and America have also become familiar.As for Korean variety shows, "X-MAN" did not start production until 2003; and "Love Letter" did not air until 2004.It is estimated that there are not many Korean variety shows worthy of attention now, but early attention is not bad.
"In addition to TV dramas and variety shows, another problem is the cameras used by girls to chat." Lin Jinqi said.
It’s not been a year or two for girls to love glamorous cameras. It is estimated that girls have dreamed of a camera that can make themselves more beautiful since there are video cameras.However, the current camera drivers are still very professional, that is, they can adjust the brightness and saturation by themselves.If a girl's major is photography or videography, then she may be able to call out the one that suits her best.But the vast majority of girls will not choose these majors, so if there is a camera in an Internet cafe that can make girls automatically look beautiful, then it will definitely be popular among girls.
Even in later generations, when Casio launched its TR series digital camera, this camera once became a beauty tool for girls because of its unique beauty effect, so it sold well in China.Although Lin Jinqi has no way to work hard on the lens of the camera, it is not difficult to make a camera beauty program.Now it is nothing more than adding some algorithms to make girls look whiter, and then adding some filter effects and pre-animation effects are enough.
"I can write a software that allows most of the cameras to have a few beautification effects, and then add some animation effects, which will definitely be popular with girls. However, it is best to add some lights to the Internet cafes in the girls' area. It’s best to ask some lighting masters about this, because if the lighting is good, the girl’s appearance can be improved a lot.” Lin Jinqi added.
In many production crews, the lighting engineer is definitely at the forefront of the list of actors who dare not offend.Because the lighting engineer can do some tricks on the lighting casually, and it will definitely make you change from a temperamental beauty to a foot-washing maid in no time.When Hong Kong and Taiwan filmed TV dramas in the early years, the heroine would try to please the lighting engineer, just hoping to give herself a special light to hit her face during filming.
In Chinese aesthetics, it is often "one white covers all ugliness".So as long as there is a special light to increase the brightness of your skin, then the heroine in the TV series is absolutely beautiful.Because of this, Lin Jinqi hopes to have professionals to design and light.
After chatting with Uncle Lin about the renovation and operation of the Internet cafe all morning, Uncle Lin naturally served lunch.Now, apart from Uncle Lin's internet cafe, most of the rest of Student Street are small restaurants.After all, students all know how terrible the school cafeteria is, but students who have a little more money will choose to eat outside.With the development of the country's economy, the affluence of college students is gradually increasing, so this kind of small restaurant outside the school is actually very profitable.Therefore, nearly half of the facades of Student Street are occupied by small restaurants, and the rest are the storefronts of some stationery stores and grocery stores.
What makes Lin Jinqi a little regretful is that Shaxian snacks, which account for half of the snacks in the future, have not yet come to the layout, but there is a shop here in Lanzhou Ramen.In addition, I didn't see any dim sum shops and milk tea shops that are common in the student streets of later generations. It seems that there is still a big disconnect between Shuangxing City, a small inland fourth- and fifth-tier city, and coastal cities.
After lunch, Lin Jinqi went home and found a gift box, then called Long Yuan.According to her habit, she will most likely spend her summer vacation at her aunt's house in Double Star City.Sure enough, when she called Long Yuan's house, she was told that Long Yuan was at her aunt's house, so Lin Jinqi called Long Yuan's aunt's house.The person who just answered the phone was Long Yuan herself, and Lin Jinqi didn't need to make up excuses to convince Long Yuan's aunt.
Knowing that Lin Jinqi had returned from Beijing, Long Yuan also said: "I watched the news, and I was shocked when you took the photo with the gold medal. I didn't expect that some of my classmates would also be on the CCTV news. Believe it."
"Then shall I give you another one that is even more unbelievable? Let you see me in real life now?" Lin Jinqi said with a smile.
"Are you in Double Star City? I heard that your family bought a house in Double Star City, and now they live in it?" Long Yuan asked.
"The house has been renovated, but I haven't been able to move in yet. Originally, my mother said that she would take me to see the house today, but she went out early in the morning to do some work." Lin Jinqi said, "Shall we make an appointment to meet? I brought you a gift from Korea."
"That's so embarrassing." Long Yuan said.
But finding a place to meet is really troublesome now. After all, fast food restaurants like KFC haven't even opened in Double Star City, so the students don't have a place to meet.
"How about we meet at the Children's Palace? I just want to send my cousin to the Children's Palace for an art class, and there just happen to be some spare classrooms over there."
The Children's Palace should be regarded as the youth memory of children born in the 80s and a small number of children born in the 90s, right?In the era when entertainment venues were extremely scarce, and parents were working both jobs, in order to pass the children's leisure time, most cities had so-called children's palaces.The Children's Palace provides almost all activities suitable for children, including interest classes such as dance classes and art classes, as well as extracurricular tutoring classes such as Olympiad classes.
If the local economy is relatively developed, or if there is support from a large state-owned enterprise, the local children's palace will have a dedicated gymnasium. Although the football field is a bit difficult, the basketball court is still guaranteed, and then there are badminton courts and table tennis halls.Even Lin Jinqi knew that there was a roller skating rink in the Children's Palace in Shuangxing City, and the school had repeated orders not to allow students to go to the skating rink, so the roller skating rink in the Children's Palace became the only place for leisure and entertainment that everyone could go to.
At this time, the public transportation in Shuangxing City is still at a very backward stage. The large buses that are common in big cities have not yet appeared in Shuangxing City, and the buses in Shuangxing City are still small minibuses.Even so, bus tickets are not cheap now, ranging from one yuan to two yuan.Although the fare is more expensive than later generations, there is not even the most basic air conditioner in summer.
Fortunately, Lin Jinqi is wearing a light gray sleeveless sports T-shirt with a pair of black cropped pants, a pair of red and black jogging shoes and a pair of white sports socks.The youthful sports style clothing is quite comfortable in this hot summer, and with the wind blowing from the car running by the window, it is finally possible to appear in the Children's Palace without sweating profusely.
The Children's Palace in Shuangxing City is now at the end of its golden period of operation. Although the government of Shuangxing City does not have much money, there is a steel factory, a power plant, two coal mines and a non-ferrous metal mine within the jurisdiction of Shuangxing City.At this time, energy companies, mining companies, and steel companies are all local tyrants. If they just donate a little of their hospitality expenses to the Children's Palace, the Children's Palace can almost be completely renovated.Therefore, the air conditioner in the Children's Palace is now running non-stop throughout the day. From the outside to the inside of the Children's Palace, Lin Jinqi suddenly has the illusion of traveling from the Middle East to Siberia.It was too hot just now, but now I was shocked by the air-conditioning, and the goose bumps on my arms rose.
Lin Jinqi walked directly to the art class, and sure enough, she saw Long Yuan wandering around outside the classroom.Lin Jinqi walked over and patted her on the shoulder.Then I saw Long Yuan startled, and then I saw her blushing and booing, signaling Lin Jinqi to be quiet.
Long Yuan beckoned, so the two ran to the stairs, and saw Long Yuan said: "You don't know that people who scare people can scare people to death!"
"I didn't expect you to be scared in broad daylight." Lin Jinqi smiled and handed the gift box to Long Yuan.
"I bought it in Korea. It's a new mask brand in their country. I think their slogan is very interesting, and the name is also nice, so I bought a set for you."
The brand Lin Jinqi chose is Innisfree, the future Korean internet celebrity skincare brand.Although this brand has been criticized a lot in later generations, Lin Jinqi heard the recommendation from the girls around him that his family's basic maintenance is not bad.Therefore, the set gift box Lin Jinqi chose is mainly moisturizing, and at Long Yuan's age, moisturizing is enough.
"Thank you." Long Yuan took the gift box.
"You don't know, my dad was shocked when he saw you appearing on CCTV's news program! My dad also said that he had to blackmail your dad for a treat, but your dad said he was out of town, and then my dad asked your dad why How can I answer the landline at home?"
After Long Yuan finished talking about it with a smile, Lin Jinqi couldn't help feeling a little bored with her naughty father.
"I guess you will be the one to speak under the national flag at the first flag-raising ceremony after school starts?"
"What do you mean 'again'? In my entire freshman year, I said it less than ten times, right?" Lin Jinqi retorted.
"A year is 52 weeks. Excluding winter and summer vacations and various holidays, we probably hold about 37 to 39 times per school year. If there is rain and snow, there are only about 30 flag-raising ceremonies per school year. And Not every flag-raising ceremony will hold a speech under the national flag. On the school anniversary, it is the speech of the principal; if some important event occurs, it is the speech of the vice-principal or the dean of teaching. Therefore, the speeches under the national flag given by students are about It’s only in the early 20s. You should be almost half of the people, do you think I can’t use ‘again’? Anyway, I’m tired of looking at your face.”
After being counted and analyzed by Long Yuan, Lin Jinqi also felt that he had given too many speeches on stage?It is estimated that the seniors already hate this face of their own very much, right?So Lin Jinqi began to reflect on what caused him to speak too many times on stage.
First, it must be that my grades are not bad. After all, except for a few times when poor students who committed demerits came to the stage to review, most of the speeches under the national flag are still positive, so naturally it is the top students who brush their faces place.
Second, looks and eloquence.Although the teachers say that we must pay attention to the inner, the beauty of the soul is the most important thing.But every time we choose candidates to speak under the national flag, we always go for those few people with outstanding looks.Think about the so-and-so in the class next door, who is also in the top ten of the grade, but because the acne breaks out like a Hawaiian volcano, he is not allowed to speak under the national flag, it is too judging by appearance!
As for the slogan, of course it is also the key. You must know that Nanhu Province is originally a dialect area.If it’s Xiangzhang City, it’s okay, the dialect and Mandarin here have been well integrated, and most of the teachers teach in Mandarin, and the children also start learning Mandarin in kindergarten.Therefore, only their grandma and grandma will worry that their grandchildren will not understand what they are talking about in the future, instead of worrying about whether they can speak Mandarin.As for Shuangxing City and Qingfeng County, the popularity rate of Mandarin really embarrasses the State Language Committee.
Many students are forced to speak in Putonghua when they reach high school, and in fact, except for Chinese and English classes, other classes are dispensable, because the teachers in these classes are all teaching in dialects.Therefore, compared to those students who speak Mandarin with a strong dialect accent, Lin Jinqi's accent, who has obtained a first-class Mandarin level in his previous life, is naturally outstanding.
As for the third point, Lin Jinqi guessed that the teachers fell in love with his chicken soup for the soul.Several times, when Lin Jinqi spoke under the national flag, the students suddenly burst into high spirits, and then burst into tears like a dead mother. Lin Jinqi was terrified on the rostrum.Xindao, am I not in the Internet Addiction Rehabilitation School of a professor from the Electromagnetic Infantry?
"What are you thinking?" Just when Lin Jinqi was in a daze, Long Yuan nudged him, and then asked with concern.
"I'm wondering if there is any way to prevent me from going on stage so many times in the next school year." Lin Jinqi replied seriously, "But I am so handsome, do you think there is any way to make the teachers not notice my talent And appearance?"
"Can you be more shameless?" Long Yuan looked at Lin Jinqi helplessly. "By the way, I told my parents about the new thinking composition contest you mentioned. My parents think I can try it, and I also wrote some essays. How about you help me to see it then? But I think If you want to participate in the competition, I guess I have nothing to do, I can't compare with you."
"There are so many places for the first prize, even if there are too many, I won't be able to squeeze you in." Lin Jinqi comforted Long Yuan and boasted at the same time. "By the way, my brother-in-law is still learning to draw? This is really versatile!"
"Die! Where is the brother-in-law?" Long Yuan gave Lin Jinqi a blank look. "My aunt's idea is to let him learn to draw and practice calligraphy, so as to hone his temperament. My cousin is too impatient, even playing basketball, he can fight with people and beat them to the hospital."
"Isn't it natural to have conflicts when playing basketball? Especially when there are girls watching, I was beaten all over the ground by you, and I didn't beat you so hard that you couldn't tell the difference." In Lin Jinqi's view, boys fight Conflict in basketball or soccer is almost inevitable.
It's a time of high anger, and it's the kind of sports with intense physical conflicts. It's strange that there is no fire and fight.If you look at the American ice hockey league, fights are tolerated.It's just that firstly, sticks are not allowed, and secondly, skates are not allowed.When the beating is over, the game continues.
"I think, as long as you don't play dirty tricks or play tricks, a fight is really fine. Boys, after the fight today, you will be fine enough to sleep in a bed tomorrow. It's so normal!"
"You boys are really violent!" Long Yuan was not as extreme as her aunt, who thought that boys need to be corrected when they fight.But as a girl, she still doesn't agree with boys fighting. "Is fighting so fun?"
"You're right. Most of the fights between boys belong to 'play', and a small part belong to 'territorial awareness'." Lin Jinqi said.
"Have you ever seen a population of lions or tigers? Lion cubs and tiger cubs also fight. They learn hunting methods through fighting, and at the same time learn the class consciousness within the population. Of course, for us humans, the evolution to In this day and age, hunting is useless, but fighting to determine who is the leader is very important. If a group of children does not have a leader, it is difficult for them to become a real group of friends.
Generally, after a few fights between these boys, it is possible to determine who is the leader, who is the idea, and who is the vanguard.Fighting in the future is a 'territorial consciousness'. To expand my friend group, I must absorb other friend groups, so I will fight again.In short, as long as the fight is done with fists and kicks, without using any tools, and without using such wicked moves as kicking the vagina, we are friends after the fight. "
"Unreasonable!" Long Yuan really wanted to refute Lin Jinqi's remarks, but she couldn't find any suitable reasons and evidence.
While Long Yuan was chatting with Lin Jinqi, Long Yuan's little cousin came out.Seeing Lin Jinqi and Long Yuan chatting, the little boy's "territorial awareness" suddenly exploded, and he immediately intervened between Lin Jinqi and Long Yuan, staring at Lin Jinqi with an unhappy expression.Being treated as a villain by such a young boy, Lin Jinqi immediately rubbed his face.
The little cousin patted Lin Jinqi's claws, and said coldly: "Who are you? Why are you pestering my sister? You are so slick, you must have a bad grade!" The little boy wanted to laugh at Lin Jinqi Ugly, it turned out that he had no way to make such an evaluation against his conscience, so he admitted that Lin Jinqi was good-looking (greasy) and at the same time criticized Lin Jinqi, so he must have poor grades and be a bad person.
"Why do you think my grades are not good?" Lin Jinqi squatted and talked to the little boy, "You know about the Mathematical Olympiad, right? I just won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, and I'm still a perfect score winner."
The little boy probably didn't expect that Lin Jinqi would be so shameless, and he would throw Wang Zang out as soon as he came on stage.The little boy naturally knows what counting means.Hearing that Lin Jinqi had won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, he was also frightened, and looked at Long Yuan with a look of panic.
"Is this how you used your International Mathematical Olympiad gold medal?" Long Yuan was also full of black lines. "The teachers will be mad at you!"
The little boy learned from his cousin that this handsome man in front of him is really capable, at least mathematics has already made him feel a lot of pressure.The little boy rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then big brother will play cards with me?"
"What cards do you play as a child? You can't learn well at such a young age!" Lin Jinqi finally seized the opportunity to teach the little boy the other way around.
"I also signed up for a bridge class here." The little boy said.
Since Taizong's love of playing bridge was made public, there has been a small wave of bridge in China.Later everyone discovered that bridge is indeed an intellectual competition, so bridge classes are not only popular among adults, but even teenagers have bridge classes.Under the oppression of her mother in her previous life, Lin Jinqi learned bridge, go, chess, Chinese painting, oil painting, brush calligraphy, hard-tipped calligraphy, ballet, modern dance... It can be said that she has learned all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But the problem caused by this is that every door is open, and everything is plagued.Fortunately, he will play bridge a lot in the future, so Lin Jinqi looked at Long Yuan.Bridge is a typical two-on-two competitive game, and it also pays attention to the cooperation between teammates.Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a master to lead a pig teammate to win against the opponent's rookie group.Fortunately, Long Yuan nodded, and Lin Jinqi felt relieved.
"How about this, you find a partner from your bridge class. Let's make a pact." Lin Jinqi said.
The playing method of bridge is divided into contract or indefinite contract, in fact, it means whether there is a "main card".To put it simply, bridge is played like an upgrade. If the dealer fails to complete the agreed number of tricks before upgrading to the main deck, he will lose.Therefore, the way of playing bridge does not need to care about the winning or losing of each game. As long as the opponent can force the banker to not reach the winning number before the banker's upgrade is completed, the game will be considered a victory.Therefore, playing bridge requires an overall view, and at the same time requires great ability in calculating the value of the cards.
However, because the calculation of bridge is too complicated, later generations are not as exciting as Texas Hold'em.Lin Jinqi reckoned that the little boy and his classmates also had limited bridge skills, so they should be able to bring Long Yuan by themselves.As long as Long Yuan is not a pig teammate who cheats teammates, then it is very easy to win the children by themselves.
Not long after, the little boy came with a little girl.Seeing the little boy so brazenly put
In the previous life, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin had long-term conflicts because of work, which led to the final divorce.However, after buying Student Street in this life, Uncle Lin heard Lin Jinqi say that computers talk too much, so he also came up with the idea of opening an Internet cafe.The development speed of Internet cafes in China has always been very rapid. It was not until the outbreak of an Internet cafe incident in Beijing that it entered a recession period, but even in the recession period, the prosperity of Internet cafes continued until the early 2010s.
But now is the early stage of the golden age of Internet cafes, computer houses are still the mainstream, and large-scale Internet cafes have not yet appeared, so it is time for Uncle Lin to enter the market.Especially Lin Xiaojiu is a Shanghai-style person with a relationship between black and white. This kind of identity is very good for running an Internet cafe.And because it is rare for Uncle Lin to settle down to start a business, both Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin felt that "the prodigal son will not change his money", so they supported Uncle Lin's business.
Uncle Lin's "Times Pioneer Internet Cafe" is located in the westernmost section of Student Street, which is directly opposite the east gate of Nanhu Institute of Technology in the future, and it happens to be a prime location in the future.Uncle Lin asked for three outlets at once, and opened up an Internet cafe that is currently the largest in Shuangxing City in one go.With the help of friends, Uncle Lin's computer hardware didn't cost too much money, and compared with other computer houses and Internet cafes, the cost still has a little advantage.
When Lin Jinqi arrived, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin were studying the latest Internet cafe business license in the office on the second floor.It is very convenient to apply for this certificate now, but after the incident in an Internet cafe in Beijing, this certificate has been strictly controlled.And the transfer price of the old certificate also flew directly from 1 yuan to 10 yuan. Lin Jinqi originally thought about whether he should also start a free-riding business, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.This business is probably not that clean. If the country wants to check you someday, there will be a lot of trouble.
"Jinqi, what do you think of your little uncle's Internet cafe? I specially found someone to copy the decoration style of the Internet cafe from Guangdong Province. Is it high-end?" Although Lin Xiaojiu is ignorant in many aspects, he is good at eating and drinking. In terms of fun, there are indeed people with two brushes.
The decoration style of Pioneer Internet cafes in the whole era is indeed very beautiful at this time. The small Internet cafes and computer rooms are dark and cramped. The large floor-to-ceiling windows and bright lights make the first impression of Internet cafes very comfortable. Coupled with the cooperation of the ceiling fan and the exhaust fan, the air circulation in the whole space is also very smooth, without a dull feeling.
"It's really beautiful, but it can be even more beautiful." Lin Jinqi has seen the decoration style of large-scale chain Internet cafes and upgraded versions of Internet cafes in later generations. They are really high-end and upscale.Moreover, Lin Jinqi found that the operators of Internet cafes in this era have not yet had the habit of targeting consumers. In addition to the ordinary machines, Internet cafes in later generations also have special game areas, film and television areas, and girls' areas, especially for TV. Competitors also have a high-end e-sports area.
The consumption in the ordinary area of Internet cafes is only 2 yuan an hour, but the game area costs 5 yuan, and the high-end e-sports area ranges from 10 to 20 yuan.But even though the game area and e-sports area are expensive, there are still an endless stream of players who come to spend.As for the girl's section, it is to stimulate boys' consumption to put it bluntly.
To put it simply, as long as there are more girls coming to entertainment consumption places, there will naturally be more boys.Why do many bars and nightclubs treat girls as "two people traveling together for free", or even "basic consumption for girls is free"?It's very simple, as long as the number of girls increases in this kind of occasion, no matter how expensive the basic consumption of storage is, boys will willingly come in and be slaughtered.
"Then tell me, what else needs to be improved?" Uncle Lin became interested and motioned Lin Jinqi to continue.
"First of all, it is best to register the trademark of 'Times Pioneer Internet Cafe', and find a more reliable designer to make a striking logo. I think the style can be borrowed from Transformers to highlight the sense of science fiction. The purpose of the registered trademark It is for the future that when we become bigger and stronger, we can open a chain of Internet cafes in Shuangxing City and even Nanhu Province." Lin Jinqi said.
Later, although the country strictly controlled the number of Internet cafes, it also encouraged Internet cafes to expand and form chains. Therefore, chaining large Internet cafes must be the correct path for the future development of Internet cafes.
"When decorating Internet cafes, the metallic gray color is often used, including the computer desks and chairs and the cashier counter, and try to make the simple style popular abroad. Moreover, Internet cafes must be operated in different areas, and the first floor and the second floor must be divided into two parts. The so-called smoking area and non-smoking area.
The ventilation of the smoking area on the first floor should be strengthened. Although some people like to smoke, it does not mean that they like to be surrounded by smoke.Therefore, in addition to the exhaust fan of the window, it is best to have a suspended ceiling, and put some exhaust fans at some distance in the suspended ceiling.The smoking area on the first floor can then be subdivided, half of which can be used with relatively common machines, and the charges can be relatively cheap, while the other half can be divided into game area, chat area and advanced competition area.
The advanced competitive area does not need too many machines, between 5 and 15 machines are enough.It is necessary to ensure the highest configuration, the largest screen and the fastest network speed, and then various mainstream battle games and battle platforms must be installed.It is best to establish a cooperative relationship with those battle platforms and get some Internet cafe benefits.The game area must ensure that the games are the most complete and up-to-date, while the chat area must ensure that the video heads and headsets are good enough and new enough.
The non-smoking area on the second floor should also be divided into a separate area for girls. The decoration style can be a little more cute, and then they will be replaced with fresh green plants and potted flowers, and then it will be clean and properly scented. "
While Lin Jinqi was talking over there, Uncle Lin was actually recording there.After Lin Jinqi finished speaking, Uncle Lin sighed: "Fortunately, I haven't finished the formal decoration, otherwise, according to what you said, wouldn't it be completely redecorated? But even so, a little decoration is a waste. By the way, what do you think? How should we set the price? It’s 3 yuan an hour in the city now.”
"Then our general area is 2 yuan an hour; the chat area is 3 yuan; the non-smoking area and the game area are 5 yuan; the girls' area is also 5 yuan; the e-sports area is 8 yuan." After Lin Jinqi said the price, Then he added, "We can also launch our Pioneer membership card, recharge 100 yuan and get 10 yuan, which is our ordinary member; then recharge 200 yuan and get 20 yuan as our senior member; recharge 500 yuan and get 50 yuan." Our VIP members: Ordinary members get [-]% off online, senior members get [-]% off; VIP members get [-]% off online, and also get [-]% off on beverages and snacks purchased in our Internet cafes.
By the way, little uncle, a small grocery store will be built in the Internet cafe, mainly selling drinks, snacks, instant noodles and so on.The price of groceries in Internet cafes is generally about 50% more expensive than that outside. After all, we can make a lot of money here. "
The income from beverages and snacks in Internet cafes is actually the main profit point of many chain Internet cafes or large Internet cafes. Because of their large consumption, it is easy for wholesalers to get discounts, and the unit price of Internet cafes is 50 more expensive than outside Internet cafes. % above, so the profit is very considerable.
"But with such a high price, girls may not come, right?" the little aunt interrupted.
For Aunt Lin, Mother Lin's perception is actually quite complicated.Mother Lin laughed at herself that the four sisters were all foolish characters, and even Aunt Lin later was also a straightforward and foolish person, but only Aunt Lin was quite shrewd.In fact, when Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin had a good relationship, Aunt Lin's shrewdness was from outsiders.However, as the relationship between Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin deteriorated, Aunt Lin's shrewdness would trick Mama Lin and Aunt Lin from time to time, which made Mama Lin and Aunt Lin's evaluation of Aunt Lin plummet.But now Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin are still of the same mind, so Aunt Lin does think about many things more than Uncle Lin.
"That's why we launched a girls' card in addition to the membership card." Lin Jinqi said, "The girl's card is 50 yuan for 10 yuan, and also enjoys a [-]% discount on the Internet fee. But this kind of card is only for girls. , and only for consumption in the girls’ area. By the way, little uncle, when the time comes to design the cards, the colors of ordinary membership cards, senior membership cards, VIP membership cards and girls’ cards must be different, at least for consumers to hold in their hands I feel classy and won’t just throw them around.”
Now the production cost of the card is actually not cheap, and major merchants have not yet learned the marketing strategy of all kinds of consumer cards and membership cards, so as long as their own membership cards are well-made, I believe consumers are willing to hold them in their hands.
"My suggestion is to use silver for ordinary cards; gold for high-end cards; black for VIP cards; pink for girls' cards. The design of the cards should follow the bank cards, and they should be graded."
"Is it unlucky to use black for the VIP card?" Uncle Lin also asked a question, "Or make it as shiny as a diamond?"
"If the card is made in that exaggerated and shiny style, absolutely no one likes to hold it in their hands." Lin Jinqi said, "I'll just ask my little uncle, if your bank card is shining with colorful lights, would you still be willing to use this card?" Is the card in your wallet?"
After hearing Lin Jinqi's description, Uncle Lin immediately shook his head.
"In fact, the top credit cards of many banks are all black. This is the Centurion Card from American Express Bank. This top credit card is also called a 'black card'. It has no overdraft limit and there are many discounts. For example, if you want Rent a plane, call the credit card company, and guarantee that a plane will be waiting for you at the airport within half an hour."
"Are you bragging?" Uncle Lin didn't believe it.
Lin Jinqi remembered that it was still some time before the black card entered the domestic consumer market. At this time, many people in the mainland had just accepted debit cards, let alone credit cards, let alone debit cards represented by black cards.
"Are you bragging? After my little uncle builds a chain of Internet cafe empires, see if any credit card company will send you a 'black card' invitation." Lin Jinqi was not in a hurry to get entangled in this detail.
"Oh, that's right. Uncle, apart from being better than other Internet cafes in terms of machine configuration, network speed and price, the most important thing is the service details. Because I can do things like configuration, network speed and price, You can do it too, it’s easy for everyone to copy it. But the service is very rare, even if they want to copy it, it’s definitely not something that can be done in a day or two.”
Lin Jinqi introduced the details of Haidilao's service to Uncle Lin, but he used his experience in Korean Internet cafes as a pretext.When Lin Jinqi introduced Haidilao's detailed service, Uncle Lin was stunned.
"Although it sounds complicated, to put it simply, we have to think farther than customers. Before customers feel uncomfortable, we have to feel uncomfortable for them. For example, the Internet cafe service in the girls' area, Uncle Lin Can you think of some advice? Let girls feel that surfing the Internet in the girls' section is better than other places."
"The ones that don't smoke are clean, and they are all girls, so they feel more secure." Uncle Lin gave a few examples.
"Other Internet cafes can do these things, so why come to our Internet cafe?" Lin Jinqi said. "Little uncle, have you ever thought about why girls come to the Internet? What is their main purpose of going online?"
"I've seen it in other Internet cafes. Girls come to the Internet to chat and watch TV dramas." Uncle Lin replied.In fact, Uncle Lin is also working very hard for his Internet cafe business. According to Aunt Lin, Uncle Lin has stayed in all the Internet cafes in Shuangxing City in the past two months. Some popular Internet cafes even stayed for a week, just to get to know others How is it done.
"That's right, since the purpose of girls surfing the Internet is these two, then we have to do what others have not done in these two." Lin Jinqi said.
Now is the era of the most disorderly development of the Internet, and the so-called copyright is simply a joke in this era.Although Lin Jinqi seems to respect copyright, but in the era when everyone is pirating, it is impossible for him to be "alone".In the end, Lin Jinqi could only convince himself that since everyone was like this, then he could be regarded as "one with the light".
"We need to make sure that the computer server in the girl's area has the most and the latest TV dramas, and don't limit yourself to TV dramas from Hong Kong and Taiwan. You should also watch more TV dramas from Japan, Korea, the United States, and the UK. Anyway, there are so many on the Internet. The subtitle group, my little uncle and my aunt go up to pick out TV dramas if they have nothing to do, just tell the network administrator to download them. By the way, don’t miss those Korean variety shows and European and American reality shows.”
If Lin Jinqi remembers correctly, with the popularity of "Big Brother" and "Survivor", domestic reality shows in Europe and America have also become familiar.As for Korean variety shows, "X-MAN" did not start production until 2003; and "Love Letter" did not air until 2004.It is estimated that there are not many Korean variety shows worthy of attention now, but early attention is not bad.
"In addition to TV dramas and variety shows, another problem is the cameras used by girls to chat." Lin Jinqi said.
It’s not been a year or two for girls to love glamorous cameras. It is estimated that girls have dreamed of a camera that can make themselves more beautiful since there are video cameras.However, the current camera drivers are still very professional, that is, they can adjust the brightness and saturation by themselves.If a girl's major is photography or videography, then she may be able to call out the one that suits her best.But the vast majority of girls will not choose these majors, so if there is a camera in an Internet cafe that can make girls automatically look beautiful, then it will definitely be popular among girls.
Even in later generations, when Casio launched its TR series digital camera, this camera once became a beauty tool for girls because of its unique beauty effect, so it sold well in China.Although Lin Jinqi has no way to work hard on the lens of the camera, it is not difficult to make a camera beauty program.Now it is nothing more than adding some algorithms to make girls look whiter, and then adding some filter effects and pre-animation effects are enough.
"I can write a software that allows most of the cameras to have a few beautification effects, and then add some animation effects, which will definitely be popular with girls. However, it is best to add some lights to the Internet cafes in the girls' area. It’s best to ask some lighting masters about this, because if the lighting is good, the girl’s appearance can be improved a lot.” Lin Jinqi added.
In many production crews, the lighting engineer is definitely at the forefront of the list of actors who dare not offend.Because the lighting engineer can do some tricks on the lighting casually, and it will definitely make you change from a temperamental beauty to a foot-washing maid in no time.When Hong Kong and Taiwan filmed TV dramas in the early years, the heroine would try to please the lighting engineer, just hoping to give herself a special light to hit her face during filming.
In Chinese aesthetics, it is often "one white covers all ugliness".So as long as there is a special light to increase the brightness of your skin, then the heroine in the TV series is absolutely beautiful.Because of this, Lin Jinqi hopes to have professionals to design and light.
After chatting with Uncle Lin about the renovation and operation of the Internet cafe all morning, Uncle Lin naturally served lunch.Now, apart from Uncle Lin's internet cafe, most of the rest of Student Street are small restaurants.After all, students all know how terrible the school cafeteria is, but students who have a little more money will choose to eat outside.With the development of the country's economy, the affluence of college students is gradually increasing, so this kind of small restaurant outside the school is actually very profitable.Therefore, nearly half of the facades of Student Street are occupied by small restaurants, and the rest are the storefronts of some stationery stores and grocery stores.
What makes Lin Jinqi a little regretful is that Shaxian snacks, which account for half of the snacks in the future, have not yet come to the layout, but there is a shop here in Lanzhou Ramen.In addition, I didn't see any dim sum shops and milk tea shops that are common in the student streets of later generations. It seems that there is still a big disconnect between Shuangxing City, a small inland fourth- and fifth-tier city, and coastal cities.
After lunch, Lin Jinqi went home and found a gift box, then called Long Yuan.According to her habit, she will most likely spend her summer vacation at her aunt's house in Double Star City.Sure enough, when she called Long Yuan's house, she was told that Long Yuan was at her aunt's house, so Lin Jinqi called Long Yuan's aunt's house.The person who just answered the phone was Long Yuan herself, and Lin Jinqi didn't need to make up excuses to convince Long Yuan's aunt.
Knowing that Lin Jinqi had returned from Beijing, Long Yuan also said: "I watched the news, and I was shocked when you took the photo with the gold medal. I didn't expect that some of my classmates would also be on the CCTV news. Believe it."
"Then shall I give you another one that is even more unbelievable? Let you see me in real life now?" Lin Jinqi said with a smile.
"Are you in Double Star City? I heard that your family bought a house in Double Star City, and now they live in it?" Long Yuan asked.
"The house has been renovated, but I haven't been able to move in yet. Originally, my mother said that she would take me to see the house today, but she went out early in the morning to do some work." Lin Jinqi said, "Shall we make an appointment to meet? I brought you a gift from Korea."
"That's so embarrassing." Long Yuan said.
But finding a place to meet is really troublesome now. After all, fast food restaurants like KFC haven't even opened in Double Star City, so the students don't have a place to meet.
"How about we meet at the Children's Palace? I just want to send my cousin to the Children's Palace for an art class, and there just happen to be some spare classrooms over there."
The Children's Palace should be regarded as the youth memory of children born in the 80s and a small number of children born in the 90s, right?In the era when entertainment venues were extremely scarce, and parents were working both jobs, in order to pass the children's leisure time, most cities had so-called children's palaces.The Children's Palace provides almost all activities suitable for children, including interest classes such as dance classes and art classes, as well as extracurricular tutoring classes such as Olympiad classes.
If the local economy is relatively developed, or if there is support from a large state-owned enterprise, the local children's palace will have a dedicated gymnasium. Although the football field is a bit difficult, the basketball court is still guaranteed, and then there are badminton courts and table tennis halls.Even Lin Jinqi knew that there was a roller skating rink in the Children's Palace in Shuangxing City, and the school had repeated orders not to allow students to go to the skating rink, so the roller skating rink in the Children's Palace became the only place for leisure and entertainment that everyone could go to.
At this time, the public transportation in Shuangxing City is still at a very backward stage. The large buses that are common in big cities have not yet appeared in Shuangxing City, and the buses in Shuangxing City are still small minibuses.Even so, bus tickets are not cheap now, ranging from one yuan to two yuan.Although the fare is more expensive than later generations, there is not even the most basic air conditioner in summer.
Fortunately, Lin Jinqi is wearing a light gray sleeveless sports T-shirt with a pair of black cropped pants, a pair of red and black jogging shoes and a pair of white sports socks.The youthful sports style clothing is quite comfortable in this hot summer, and with the wind blowing from the car running by the window, it is finally possible to appear in the Children's Palace without sweating profusely.
The Children's Palace in Shuangxing City is now at the end of its golden period of operation. Although the government of Shuangxing City does not have much money, there is a steel factory, a power plant, two coal mines and a non-ferrous metal mine within the jurisdiction of Shuangxing City.At this time, energy companies, mining companies, and steel companies are all local tyrants. If they just donate a little of their hospitality expenses to the Children's Palace, the Children's Palace can almost be completely renovated.Therefore, the air conditioner in the Children's Palace is now running non-stop throughout the day. From the outside to the inside of the Children's Palace, Lin Jinqi suddenly has the illusion of traveling from the Middle East to Siberia.It was too hot just now, but now I was shocked by the air-conditioning, and the goose bumps on my arms rose.
Lin Jinqi walked directly to the art class, and sure enough, she saw Long Yuan wandering around outside the classroom.Lin Jinqi walked over and patted her on the shoulder.Then I saw Long Yuan startled, and then I saw her blushing and booing, signaling Lin Jinqi to be quiet.
Long Yuan beckoned, so the two ran to the stairs, and saw Long Yuan said: "You don't know that people who scare people can scare people to death!"
"I didn't expect you to be scared in broad daylight." Lin Jinqi smiled and handed the gift box to Long Yuan.
"I bought it in Korea. It's a new mask brand in their country. I think their slogan is very interesting, and the name is also nice, so I bought a set for you."
The brand Lin Jinqi chose is Innisfree, the future Korean internet celebrity skincare brand.Although this brand has been criticized a lot in later generations, Lin Jinqi heard the recommendation from the girls around him that his family's basic maintenance is not bad.Therefore, the set gift box Lin Jinqi chose is mainly moisturizing, and at Long Yuan's age, moisturizing is enough.
"Thank you." Long Yuan took the gift box.
"You don't know, my dad was shocked when he saw you appearing on CCTV's news program! My dad also said that he had to blackmail your dad for a treat, but your dad said he was out of town, and then my dad asked your dad why How can I answer the landline at home?"
After Long Yuan finished talking about it with a smile, Lin Jinqi couldn't help feeling a little bored with her naughty father.
"I guess you will be the one to speak under the national flag at the first flag-raising ceremony after school starts?"
"What do you mean 'again'? In my entire freshman year, I said it less than ten times, right?" Lin Jinqi retorted.
"A year is 52 weeks. Excluding winter and summer vacations and various holidays, we probably hold about 37 to 39 times per school year. If there is rain and snow, there are only about 30 flag-raising ceremonies per school year. And Not every flag-raising ceremony will hold a speech under the national flag. On the school anniversary, it is the speech of the principal; if some important event occurs, it is the speech of the vice-principal or the dean of teaching. Therefore, the speeches under the national flag given by students are about It’s only in the early 20s. You should be almost half of the people, do you think I can’t use ‘again’? Anyway, I’m tired of looking at your face.”
After being counted and analyzed by Long Yuan, Lin Jinqi also felt that he had given too many speeches on stage?It is estimated that the seniors already hate this face of their own very much, right?So Lin Jinqi began to reflect on what caused him to speak too many times on stage.
First, it must be that my grades are not bad. After all, except for a few times when poor students who committed demerits came to the stage to review, most of the speeches under the national flag are still positive, so naturally it is the top students who brush their faces place.
Second, looks and eloquence.Although the teachers say that we must pay attention to the inner, the beauty of the soul is the most important thing.But every time we choose candidates to speak under the national flag, we always go for those few people with outstanding looks.Think about the so-and-so in the class next door, who is also in the top ten of the grade, but because the acne breaks out like a Hawaiian volcano, he is not allowed to speak under the national flag, it is too judging by appearance!
As for the slogan, of course it is also the key. You must know that Nanhu Province is originally a dialect area.If it’s Xiangzhang City, it’s okay, the dialect and Mandarin here have been well integrated, and most of the teachers teach in Mandarin, and the children also start learning Mandarin in kindergarten.Therefore, only their grandma and grandma will worry that their grandchildren will not understand what they are talking about in the future, instead of worrying about whether they can speak Mandarin.As for Shuangxing City and Qingfeng County, the popularity rate of Mandarin really embarrasses the State Language Committee.
Many students are forced to speak in Putonghua when they reach high school, and in fact, except for Chinese and English classes, other classes are dispensable, because the teachers in these classes are all teaching in dialects.Therefore, compared to those students who speak Mandarin with a strong dialect accent, Lin Jinqi's accent, who has obtained a first-class Mandarin level in his previous life, is naturally outstanding.
As for the third point, Lin Jinqi guessed that the teachers fell in love with his chicken soup for the soul.Several times, when Lin Jinqi spoke under the national flag, the students suddenly burst into high spirits, and then burst into tears like a dead mother. Lin Jinqi was terrified on the rostrum.Xindao, am I not in the Internet Addiction Rehabilitation School of a professor from the Electromagnetic Infantry?
"What are you thinking?" Just when Lin Jinqi was in a daze, Long Yuan nudged him, and then asked with concern.
"I'm wondering if there is any way to prevent me from going on stage so many times in the next school year." Lin Jinqi replied seriously, "But I am so handsome, do you think there is any way to make the teachers not notice my talent And appearance?"
"Can you be more shameless?" Long Yuan looked at Lin Jinqi helplessly. "By the way, I told my parents about the new thinking composition contest you mentioned. My parents think I can try it, and I also wrote some essays. How about you help me to see it then? But I think If you want to participate in the competition, I guess I have nothing to do, I can't compare with you."
"There are so many places for the first prize, even if there are too many, I won't be able to squeeze you in." Lin Jinqi comforted Long Yuan and boasted at the same time. "By the way, my brother-in-law is still learning to draw? This is really versatile!"
"Die! Where is the brother-in-law?" Long Yuan gave Lin Jinqi a blank look. "My aunt's idea is to let him learn to draw and practice calligraphy, so as to hone his temperament. My cousin is too impatient, even playing basketball, he can fight with people and beat them to the hospital."
"Isn't it natural to have conflicts when playing basketball? Especially when there are girls watching, I was beaten all over the ground by you, and I didn't beat you so hard that you couldn't tell the difference." In Lin Jinqi's view, boys fight Conflict in basketball or soccer is almost inevitable.
It's a time of high anger, and it's the kind of sports with intense physical conflicts. It's strange that there is no fire and fight.If you look at the American ice hockey league, fights are tolerated.It's just that firstly, sticks are not allowed, and secondly, skates are not allowed.When the beating is over, the game continues.
"I think, as long as you don't play dirty tricks or play tricks, a fight is really fine. Boys, after the fight today, you will be fine enough to sleep in a bed tomorrow. It's so normal!"
"You boys are really violent!" Long Yuan was not as extreme as her aunt, who thought that boys need to be corrected when they fight.But as a girl, she still doesn't agree with boys fighting. "Is fighting so fun?"
"You're right. Most of the fights between boys belong to 'play', and a small part belong to 'territorial awareness'." Lin Jinqi said.
"Have you ever seen a population of lions or tigers? Lion cubs and tiger cubs also fight. They learn hunting methods through fighting, and at the same time learn the class consciousness within the population. Of course, for us humans, the evolution to In this day and age, hunting is useless, but fighting to determine who is the leader is very important. If a group of children does not have a leader, it is difficult for them to become a real group of friends.
Generally, after a few fights between these boys, it is possible to determine who is the leader, who is the idea, and who is the vanguard.Fighting in the future is a 'territorial consciousness'. To expand my friend group, I must absorb other friend groups, so I will fight again.In short, as long as the fight is done with fists and kicks, without using any tools, and without using such wicked moves as kicking the vagina, we are friends after the fight. "
"Unreasonable!" Long Yuan really wanted to refute Lin Jinqi's remarks, but she couldn't find any suitable reasons and evidence.
While Long Yuan was chatting with Lin Jinqi, Long Yuan's little cousin came out.Seeing Lin Jinqi and Long Yuan chatting, the little boy's "territorial awareness" suddenly exploded, and he immediately intervened between Lin Jinqi and Long Yuan, staring at Lin Jinqi with an unhappy expression.Being treated as a villain by such a young boy, Lin Jinqi immediately rubbed his face.
The little cousin patted Lin Jinqi's claws, and said coldly: "Who are you? Why are you pestering my sister? You are so slick, you must have a bad grade!" The little boy wanted to laugh at Lin Jinqi Ugly, it turned out that he had no way to make such an evaluation against his conscience, so he admitted that Lin Jinqi was good-looking (greasy) and at the same time criticized Lin Jinqi, so he must have poor grades and be a bad person.
"Why do you think my grades are not good?" Lin Jinqi squatted and talked to the little boy, "You know about the Mathematical Olympiad, right? I just won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, and I'm still a perfect score winner."
The little boy probably didn't expect that Lin Jinqi would be so shameless, and he would throw Wang Zang out as soon as he came on stage.The little boy naturally knows what counting means.Hearing that Lin Jinqi had won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, he was also frightened, and looked at Long Yuan with a look of panic.
"Is this how you used your International Mathematical Olympiad gold medal?" Long Yuan was also full of black lines. "The teachers will be mad at you!"
The little boy learned from his cousin that this handsome man in front of him is really capable, at least mathematics has already made him feel a lot of pressure.The little boy rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then big brother will play cards with me?"
"What cards do you play as a child? You can't learn well at such a young age!" Lin Jinqi finally seized the opportunity to teach the little boy the other way around.
"I also signed up for a bridge class here." The little boy said.
Since Taizong's love of playing bridge was made public, there has been a small wave of bridge in China.Later everyone discovered that bridge is indeed an intellectual competition, so bridge classes are not only popular among adults, but even teenagers have bridge classes.Under the oppression of her mother in her previous life, Lin Jinqi learned bridge, go, chess, Chinese painting, oil painting, brush calligraphy, hard-tipped calligraphy, ballet, modern dance... It can be said that she has learned all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But the problem caused by this is that every door is open, and everything is plagued.Fortunately, he will play bridge a lot in the future, so Lin Jinqi looked at Long Yuan.Bridge is a typical two-on-two competitive game, and it also pays attention to the cooperation between teammates.Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a master to lead a pig teammate to win against the opponent's rookie group.Fortunately, Long Yuan nodded, and Lin Jinqi felt relieved.
"How about this, you find a partner from your bridge class. Let's make a pact." Lin Jinqi said.
