Chapter 48: Li Quanwang, receive the guests!
The grand opening ceremony was a big one. In order to attract as many eyeballs as possible, Lu Yiming spent a lot of money.
Originally, this location is an intersection with a huge crowd of people. Now it is the prime time in the morning, so the beating of gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances naturally attracted countless people to stop and watch.
"Internet cafe? There's an Internet cafe here?"
"This Internet cafe looks quite large."
Everyone stood outside the door and couldn't help but marvel at the sight.
These days, the opening of an Internet cafe receives as much attention as the opening of an Apple store in later generations.
It's definitely high-tech, it looks very cutting-edge and ahead of the times.
As for arguments that the Internet is a scourge, it will take a few years for them to emerge.
Moreover, Lu Yiming has always felt that this argument was deliberately spread by foreign NGOs to provoke confrontation.
Judging from the developments in the following decades, this move once caused a sensation.
Let’s get back to the story.
Lu Yiming's Internet cafe opened with such fanfare that it attracted many people to go in and check it out.
Although the decoration cannot be described as luxurious, it is the so-called "simple Nordic style". The color combination is very comfortable and gives people a fashionable feeling.
There were more than a hundred computers neatly arranged in the store. Compared with other shops that only had a dozen or twenty computers, this scene was simply spectacular.
Lu Yiming sat in front of the cashier, watching Li Yiwen and Li Quanwang busy in the store, and couldn't help but smile. Now that he finally had his first serious career, and he had a partner to work with, he felt a full sense of accomplishment, which made him excited.
It is summer vacation now. In addition, Baiyun is adjacent to Pengcheng and Yangcheng, so its economy is relatively developed and people are more receptive to new things. Therefore, more than half of the more than 100 machines were quickly occupied.
Guests came one after another and started surfing the Internet, enjoying the convenience and happiness brought by technology.
Jinyuan Street, in front of Tianba Internet Cafe.
Xiao Qinghe had a complaining expression on his face. He looked at Lu Yiping beside him and complained unhappily, "I told you to get up early, but you were dawdling all day. Now, there's no computer and you can't get online."
Lu Yiping yawned and tried to defend himself: "It's only nine o'clock. We left at eight o'clock, which is early enough. Can you blame me for this?"
"So what should I do now? Wait here for people to get off the plane? Or go do something else? I'm not going to go home and do my summer homework, am I? Even if I die, jumping off this building and falling to my death, I would rather not start doing my summer homework now!"
Xiao Qinghe swore to the heavens, and was filled with resentment about the almost mountain of summer homework at home.
Lu Yiping didn't want to do his homework anymore: "I heard that a big Internet cafe opened recently, with hundreds of computers. We can try our luck there."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up."
The two rushed to Tongxin Internet Cafe.
As soon as they entered the door, they both exclaimed in unison.
"really big!"
“This is too awesome .”
There are more than a hundred machines, divided into several areas. Standing at the door and looking inside, it seems like there is no end in sight.
For people who lived in the 1990s, this is simply a scene from Cyberpunk.
The two had just finished sighing when they turned around and saw their classmate Lu Yiming busy at the cash register. They were immediately surprised.
"Zha Zha Ming, why are you here?"
"Are you here to work during the summer vacation? Damn, don't you get to use the internet for free here?"
"What an enviable job! Zha Zha Ming, are we good classmates and brothers? Give me some discounts."
Lu Yiming didn't expect to meet two classmates on the first day of opening. Regarding the speculation that the two were working during the summer vacation, Lu Yiming did not refute it, but smiled and said: "There are discounts, big opening promotions, top up and get free money, the more you top up, the more you get. For details, please see the poster behind me."
The two followed Lu Yiming's finger and saw a huge poster on the wall behind him, which stated the rules of the recharge rewards, and then their faces fell.
Xiao Qinghe complained directly with a depressed look on his face: "Damn it, do you think the two of us are the kind of people who can take out a hundred dollars?"
Lu Yiping took out thirty yuan and said, "Forget it, forget it, this is all we have. How long do you think it will last?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's 15 yuan an hour here. Don't worry, the computers are all top-notch on the market, and the internet speed is so fast that I guarantee you'll want to come again after your first visit. You can take machines 76 and 77, I'll set the timer for you."
Then he shouted loudly: "Li Quanwang, come in!"
Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping were surprised again when they saw Li Quanwang appear in front of them.
"Li Quanwang? Are you also a network administrator here?"
"Me? Network administrator?"
Li Quanwang scratched his head and was about to say that he was a shareholder here, holding 1% of the shares. But when he saw Lu Yiming winking at him, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "Yes, Zha Zha Ming and I came here to work together. Let's go, I'll take you to find a machine."
All the computers in the Internet cafe are equipped with a time control system developed by Lu Yiming himself, and can only be used under the control of the bar.
Tongxin Internet Cafe uses plastic-backed chairs, which are much more comfortable than the wooden stools in other Internet cafes. As soon as Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping sat down, they instantly felt very comfortable.
Li Quanwang continued to promote: "We also offer snacks and tea for sale in our Internet cafe. If you need any, you can order them from the shopping cart on the table and they will be delivered to you when the time comes."
Lu Yiping sighed: "Wow, the service is so thoughtful?"
Can I buy snacks in Internet cafes?
Who the hell has seen this?
At this moment, the two of them suddenly realized what it meant that the customer is God.
Other Internet cafes are no longer in their eyes.
While feeling the lightning-fast internet speed, Xiao Qinghe said to Li Quanwang with envy, "Wangzai, you used to use our computer to play games, but now it's great. You've become the Internet administrator. Can't you play freely in the future?"
"If you become rich and powerful, please don't forget us. You must protect us from now on!"
Li Quanwang smiled and said, "I don't know anything about computers. Zha Ming is the one who handles them. I'm just here to help and do some errands."
After walking away for a while, Li Quanwang came back with two bottles of drinks in his hands. He handed them to the two of them with a smile: "This is a treat from Zha Ming and I. You're welcome."
We are all classmates and had a good relationship in the past, so we should still take care of each other.
Although they didn't get any discount, they were still happy to get two drinks for free.
"Boss Lu is generous."
"Boss Li is generous."
