Chapter 51: Too much money, so annoying
Lu Yiming said, "What else can we do? Let's open the recharge and take good care of these living ancestors first, otherwise the situation will get out of control and both you and I will be in trouble."
Seeing that there was still a steady stream of people coming in with snakeskin bags, Lu Yiming felt like he was in a dilemma.
He knew that if he failed to short the ruble, he would definitely have a miserable life in the future!
You can’t afford to lose when shorting the ruble!
Li Yiwen had been staring at the backstage closely. After a while, Li Yiwen said anxiously, "The current recharge amount has exceeded 30 million, and the number of Internet cafe members is almost 2,000. Why don't we stop now?"
He was still very worried. If something went wrong, the huge financial hole could be fatal.
Although recharge itself is a commercial behavior and there are currently no relevant legal regulations prohibiting it, it can still be very troublesome if it gets out of hand.
Although Lu Yiming felt that he was in a difficult situation, he was a time traveler after all. Even if the recharge amount exceeded expectations, it would not be difficult for him to earn back the interest.
So he quickly calmed down and analyzed to his cousin Li Yiwen: "We can't stop now. Look at these people outside. Once we stop recharging, do you think they will leave obediently?"
Li Yiwen leaned over to take a look, and seeing the neighbors with red faces and excited expressions, he shuddered on the spot.
People are greedy. They will get angry if they cannot take advantage of something. Especially when they are the only one who does not take advantage, they will be even more furious.
By then, those who successfully got on the bus will be happy, but those who didn't will definitely riot. Once they attract unnecessary attention, no one will suffer.
At this moment, Li Yiwen, like Lu Yiming, felt that he was in a difficult situation.
Lu Yiming patted Li Yiwen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't panic, let's change the recharge promotions of other branches first, increase the amount of preferential rewards, but it will not be refunded. In this way, we can use the money there to subsidize here. But if it is not refunded, there will definitely be very few people recharging. But it doesn't matter, I expected to play only 10 or 20 million before, and now I have exceeded the task."
"Right, right, right. It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost."
Li Yiwen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Yiming say this.
Lu Yiming urged, "Okay, don't worry so much. Hurry up and get a few more money detectors. Then announce that the recharge promotion will not accept small change, only whole 100s, to facilitate calculations and improve efficiency."
"OK!"
After the discussion, Li Yiwen went out to find a money detector, while Lu Yiming stood in front of the counter machine and said to the team in front: "Everyone, I didn't expect that our promotion would be so popular. On behalf of all the staff of Tongxin Internet Cafe, I would like to thank everyone for their support. Now everyone line up and come up one by one to recharge. Don't worry, I guarantee that everyone will get a share."
Li Yiwen also stood up, and brought Li Quanwang to help Lu Yiming maintain order: "Everyone, please take care of your personal belongings and beware of thieves."
At the cashier counter, Lu Yiming sat down with his arms and legs folded, opened a new recharge window to serve those users who came here for "financial management", and announced the new rules : "For amounts over 1,000 yuan, please come here to recharge. In order to improve the efficiency of recharge, from now on, I will only accept 100 yuan notes. Please cooperate."
Most of the people present didn't even know what a computer was, and they didn't come to Tongxin Internet Cafe to use the computers, so when they heard that large recharges could only be made with Lu Yiming, they immediately became very anxious and clamored to squeeze into the Internet cafe.
"I came here first."
"Get out of the way, charge me first, I'm in a hurry."
"Haha, you're talking like you're not in a hurry. Go away."
Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting chaotic, Lu Yiming quickly stepped forward to maintain order and shouted loudly: "Come one by one, line up, or I will stop now! Wangzai, you keep an eye on me, whoever doesn't line up honestly, let him get out."
"okay!"
With Lu Yiming's arrival, the team now has a backbone.
Li Quanwang had thought that someone was here to cause trouble, but when he found out that these people were here to recharge their accounts, he was quite happy. It was not until Li Yiwen explained to him that doing so would make everyone lose their fortunes that Li Quanwang panicked.
Now seeing Lu Yiming starting to solve the problem in an orderly manner, Li Quanwang finally felt relieved and called a few newly recruited employees to go to the door to maintain order.
With Lu Yiming's threat in front and Li Quanwang and employees maintaining order behind, the crowd gradually calmed down. They lined up obediently and waited for their turn before handing the money to Lu Yiming.
There are more than a hundred people queuing now, so maybe you can get a turn. But if there is too much noise later, I guess there won’t be any spots left.
After a while, Li Yiwen got a money detector from somewhere. After connecting it to the power supply, Lu Yiming was responsible for recording the data while Li Yiwen was responsible for counting the money. The efficiency suddenly increased.
The network administrator who was previously responsible for counting and verifying banknotes also became free and helped Li Quanwang and his colleagues maintain order.
Li Yiwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Lu Yiming with admiration: " Why ? From yesterday till now, all of us have been counting the money manually. We are so tired that we are dying."
Lu Yiming also sighed: "It's my fault. I was so busy debugging the equipment that I forgot about it. Maybe we opened the store too hastily and didn't think through many things. Let's do this. After today, we will equip each store with a money detector to prevent counterfeit money."
These days, counterfeit currency is still rampant, and you could get fooled if you’re not careful.
"no problem."
With everyone working together, the number of people in the queue decreased rapidly.
After the recharge was successful, the customers left with smiles on their faces and satisfaction, and the crisis of the Internet cafe was temporarily resolved.
Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to attract too much attention at the moment and just wanted to make his fortune in a low-key manner, but he almost caused a big trouble.
Now we can only hope that everything goes well.
"Okay, we've been busy all day. It's past three o'clock now. The bank will be closed at five o'clock. Let's find a way to deposit this money in the bank . It's not safe to leave it here."
After Lu Yiming finished speaking, everyone got busy, looking for boxes and sacks everywhere, filling them with money, and then depositing them in the bank.
This amount of money, in 100-dollar bills alone, exceeded 31 million.
Lu Yiming put all the change in the safe in the Internet cafe's office.
Coming out of the bank, Lu Yiming put his new bank card into his trouser pocket and said to everyone, "Let's go. You've all worked hard today. I'll treat you all. Let's have a good meal tonight. I hope our work will go smoothly in the future."
