Chapter 74 Running a business requires a strategy just like playing a game
Lu Yang decided to take over Wangyu Internet Cafe no matter what, because taking over Wangyu Internet Cafe was equivalent to taking over half of the university town.
He asked Tan Jiameng: "Do you have your boss's contact information?"
Tan Jiameng shook his head. There really were no low-level temporary workers like her.
"Then give me your manager's phone number."
Tan Jiameng readily told Lu Yang the manager's phone number.
The two chatted for a while before Lu Yang said goodbye. He had to rush to talk to his next client.
Tan Jiameng reluctantly waved goodbye to Lu Yang and told Lu Yang to give him a membership price if he came to surf the Internet.
Lu Yang lamented that girls nowadays are so innocent. A cup of milk tea and a simple meal can help them take off their guard.
If he is willing, he can develop further with Tan Jiameng in less than a week.
The blame is that there is not enough chicken soup in this era. The little chicken soup just relying on friends and story gatherings is simply not enough for girls to drink.
After leaving the Internet cafe, Lu Yong called.
Lu Yang answered, and Lu Yong said that his progress in the industrial and mining area was going quite smoothly. The owner of the Internet cafe did not object to the installation of the legendary private server. The only requirement was that the other party's rebates were strong, 30% of the rebates.
He asked Lu Yang if he wanted a 30% rebate.
Lu Yang hesitated for a moment and asked Lu Yong to agree, "30% will be achieved, and he will earn less."
Most Internet cafes in the entire provincial capital only offer 20%.
Meng Xiaopeng asked Lu Yang on the phone: How is the progress here?
Lu Yang looked at the scenery outside: "I haven't made any progress here yet, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang dived into another Internet cafe.
This Internet cafe is not as big as Wangyu Internet Cafe, but it is cheaper in price, especially in terms of membership card recharge, which is a few dollars cheaper than Wangyu Internet Cafe.
After Lu Yanghuazi’s guide, the boss readily asked him to install the game.
One after another, Lu Yang visited four Internet cafes near the university town, three of them were successful and one failed.
The Internet cafe failed because the owner was not in the store. The network manager was obviously a nerd. He didn't smoke or drink, and he had a stubborn temper. No matter how bad Lu Yang's words were, the other party remained unmoved.
When he was chatting with the network manager, the network manager was obsessed with the book. Lu Yang was curious whether the other party was so fascinated by Uncle Liu Huang, so he accidentally lifted the cover of the book and took a look.
I lost it, it’s "Piaomiao Journey"
What can make network administrators become so obsessed is actually this online novel.
He also saw many online novels on the table next to him, such as "Sou Shen Ji", "Yi Tian Slaying the Dragon", "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon" and so on.
Lu Yang originally planned to harass the other party again, but now he couldn't help but feel in awe.
Maybe he will be the next great god in the Internet literary world.
It seems that the other person is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Don't bully a young man into being poor. Don't bully a young man into being poor.
Lu Yang did not disturb the other party's reading anymore and quietly left the Internet cafe.
At night, Lu Yang returned to the rental house.
He tried to call the manager of Wangyu Internet Cafe. When the other party answered the phone, it looked messy. It was obviously a KTV bar or something like that.
Lu Yang spoke for a few times before the other party hung up impatiently.
Meng Xiaopeng and Lu Yong came back soon. Lu Yang invited them to the restaurant downstairs for dinner, and they chatted about work while eating.
Lu Yong and Meng Xiaopeng are making rapid progress. They have already negotiated several Internet cafes in the industrial and mining areas, and there will be several more Internet cafes waiting to install games tomorrow.
Meng Xiaopeng explained that the Internet cafes there are all monopolized by a clan, and outsiders cannot open an Internet cafe at all. If you force yourself to open an Internet cafe, you will either be cut off from the Internet or the power.
The Internet cafe owner they were talking about happened to have some connections, so the promotion went smoothly.
Lu Yang asked the restaurant owner to add two chicken drumsticks to Meng Xiaopeng and Lu Yong's bowls.
While eating, Chen Wei sent Lu Yang a text message.
She asked Lu Yang if he had come to the provincial capital.
Lu Yang: I just arrived today. Miss Chen, have you found a job?
Chen Wei: I have found him. I will go for an interview tomorrow. I don’t know what the result will be.
Lu Yang: I support you in spirit and action. If you need help, just say something. There is nothing else but strength.
Chen Wei: You are really good at talking. Say it first. If I don’t want to stay in the company anymore, remember to take me in.
Lu Yang: No problem, the door is always open for you.
After eating, they had been running around all day and were too lazy to go to the night market. They went directly back to the rental house, took a cold shower and went to bed.
...
The next morning, Lu Yang went to University Town again. He was going to try his luck at Wangyu Internet Cafe in University Town.
When passing the McDonald's store, Lu Yang did not forget to bring Tan Jiameng a fried chicken burger and Coke.
Yesterday, he chatted with Tan Jiameng and learned that the other person was not used to eating breakfast in the morning and became very hungry around noon.
It doesn’t cost much to feed Tan Jiameng, and the harvest in return will definitely satisfy people.
Sure enough, Tan Jiameng was so happy when he saw the burger. If he hadn't considered that he had only known Lu Yang for two days, he would have hugged Lu Yang and kissed him.
This stinky brother is so attentive.
Tan Jiameng covered her mouth and ate her hamburger, and asked Lu Yang quietly: "Do you want to get on the plane? I can turn on the machine for you quietly."
Lu Yang waved his hand and declined. Only straight men get on the computer to play on the computer. Wouldn't it be nice to chat with a beautiful woman?
Let’s talk about what’s fun about games of this era.
After chatting with Tan Jiameng, he successfully added QQ and exchanged phone numbers.
Around noon, a middle-aged man with a big belly came in. Baldness and greasiness were synonymous with each other.
After he came in, he asked Tan Jiameng: "Xiao Tan, how is business today?"
Tan Jiameng responded neatly: "Manager Luo, the attendance rate is 70%."
The middle-aged man's eyes lingered on Tan Jiameng's face for a moment, and then he walked upstairs.
He coveted Tan Jiameng's figure and appearance not only for a day or two, but also for a highly educated college student.
It's not like the tattooed girl I spent money on last night, it makes me feel sick after thinking about it.
Manager Luo misses purity and cleanliness very much.
It's a pity that Tan Jiameng was recruited by the boss himself, so he didn't dare to blatantly tease her.
Lu Yang, who was downstairs, watched the other person go upstairs. Before he could speak, Tan Jiameng leaned into Lu Yang's ear and said, "The person who just went up is our manager, his name is Luo Haibo."
The hot and humid air penetrated Lu Yang's ears playfully, tickling him.
Lu Yang asked: "What are your characteristics, Manager Luo?"
Tan Jiameng tilted his head and thought for a moment: "He likes to go to bars with others. Last time he invited me to go to a bar, but I didn't go. That kind of place is not good."
Lu Yang nodded, it turned out to be a human characteristic.
He warned: "Sister Jiameng, you must not go to bars. Those kind of places are only places where gangsters go."
Tan Jiameng covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't worry, I definitely won't go to that kind of place."
Lu Yang said hello to Tan Jiameng and went upstairs to find Luo Haibo.
He felt like he was conquering the game. From entry-level like Tan Jiameng to Luo Haibo, the final decision was made by the boss.
And he doesn't even know who the BOSS is.
Lu Yang came to the manager's office and knocked on the door. When someone asked him to come in, he opened the door and went in.
Luo Haibo was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Yang. Wasn't this kid in front of the cashier just now?
Lu Yang smiled and handed the other party a huazi and a business card: "Manager Luo, my name is Lu Yang. I am a salesperson from a game company. I want to talk to you about cooperation."
For Hua Zi's sake, Luo Haibo did not refuse Lu Yang and took the cigarette and business card.
business manager?
He looked at Lu Yang's appearance again. Didn't Mao Changqi become the manager?
Lu Yang lit a cigarette for the other party, and he began to introduce the features and operating model of the game.
For the sake of the cigarette, Luo Haibo listened quietly to Lu Yang's bragging.
Then he said very politely: "Xiao Lu, you have also seen that this Internet cafe is not small in scale, and there are two branches nearby. I am the manager, and the real decision-maker is the boss."
Lu Yang thought to himself, I have to do it step by step. You will definitely not be happy if I ask you to introduce the boss rashly...
