Zhao Niuniu's Internet cafe has now become a must-visit place for many Internet celebrities in Jianghai City. There is no way to help it. When a place becomes popular, Internet celebrities will flock to take photos because they can gain free traffic by riding on the popularity.
You might as well make a song or a joke popular, and then as long as you follow it, people will come to watch and see how you are different from other people. As a result, you will find that actually everyone will find that I am still the same idiot as before.
, without any change [covering face for fear of being beaten].
Chen Shi's marketing plan for Zhao Niuniu basically guarantees that there will be no shortage of customer traffic here, and many Internet celebrities come to apply for a card directly, and then basically make a one-time consumption, top up 200, come over and make jokes and then leave
.
Zhao Niuniu calculated that his highest single-day income reached over 30,000 yuan. He then started live broadcasting and received some rewards. He usually earned 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Most of them came to shoot jokes and buy some drinks and food from Internet cafes.
Chen Shi walked to the Internet cafe on the second floor and found Zhao Niuniu sitting listlessly in the corridor of the Internet cafe. "Why are you staying here if you don't go to the store to enjoy the air conditioning and a glass of iced Coke?"
Zhao Niuniu lay on the window sill and looked downstairs and sighed: "It's quieter here than in the house. If you don't believe me, go in and experience it."
Chen Shi opened the door of the Internet cafe and quickly paid attention. Fortunately, the door of Zhao Niuniu's Internet cafe was a thickened tempered glass door, and the edges of the door were wrapped with sponge strips. When he pushed it in, he could hear various sounds.
, some are singing, some are shouting, and some are talking to the camera.
"Shitou, you said my business is good, but what should I do if I feel unhappy? Do you think I still look like an Internet cafe? When they come, they all pat each other, pretend to meet by chance, pretend to call the network administrator, pretend to sing
"No one comes here to play games online. Occasionally, a few come and play live broadcasts, howling and playing games. That's not playing games anymore, they are chatting at the screen." Zhao Niuniu said.
Chen Shi lightly slapped Zhao Niuniu on the head and said with a smile: "You have what everyone calls the Holy Mother's Heart. You have made money, and you still say such things. I know what you mean. You just want to be quiet."
Just open an Internet cafe quietly to support your family, and then everyone can play games and chat.
That's why you chose to open an Internet cafe. Internet cafes may have been a career you loved, but now you feel like it's a mess. Although you're making money, you're not happy.
The premise is that your love cannot bring you profits. If you persist, you will harm the people around you. For example, if I don’t help you with advice, will you still lose money? It sounds ugly, but I am telling you this, brother.
Your parents gave you the money to buy a house, and you invested it in this. Let me ask you, what would your parents do if they knew that you didn't buy a house, but used the money to open an Internet cafe?
They will definitely try their best to raise money for you to buy a house, or even sell your old house to buy you a new house. They will go out to rent a house. After all, everyone knows the saying of buying a house and marrying a wife. If you don’t have a house, unless you are ten or twenty years younger.
There may still be love in school, but nowadays, children in middle school and high school know that if they are looking for a boy, they have to ask their family members to buy them AJs or new Apple models.
Times have changed, and people's hearts have also changed. Niu Niu, you can choose what you like, but the prerequisite is financial support that doesn't cost five buckets of rice, and you don't have to ask others to help you. There are many people in the world who like and want to do it.
do things, but most people can't do what they like to do.
After all, everyone gets hungry. When you are hungry and have no money, you have to make money. It is a very happy thing to be able to do what you like and support your family. If you think it is noisy here and don't like it, that's fine, but you can't reject it.
, because it allows you to solve the economic crisis. You can use the money you earn to open another Internet cafe, and use the money you earn here to support another one. But this kind of Internet celebrity economy only lasts for one or two years, which is still a long time.
Yes.
It is estimated that your place will return to its original appearance soon. At that time, few people will care about how prosperous your place used to be. It is better to make money while you can now. At the very least, you have to give your parents to you.
Make up the money to buy a house and pay a down payment to buy an apartment. This will save your parents from having a big fight with you over this matter."
Zhao Niuniu didn't say anything because almost no one told him this. He was laughing and joking with everyone and felt very happy. In fact, he just didn't want to face the cruelty of society. He was in pain when his business was not doing well, and indeed he was.
Chen Shi helped him, and Xu Tao brought people online every three days. They ordered a lot of food and drinks every time, all to take care of his business and not allow themselves to be exempted from the order.
In fact, everyone is caring and sympathizing with him, or pitying him. Zhao Niuniu has always been unwilling to face it. This time when Chen Shiyi said it, although he felt uncomfortable, he really had to learn to face some things. He was no longer that child.
, but I really don’t want to grow up.
"Shitou, what are we going to do when we grow up? Get married and have children? Why can't we always be the same as before? I think the foreigners are not all in their seventies or eighties, and they are still riding motorcycles together everywhere. How cool and unrestrained, for a lifetime
We are all so cool and unrestrained, why can’t we do it?” Zhao Niuniu said.
When Chen Shi heard this, he was also thinking, why do people have to grow up?
"Have you ever heard of it? In the past thirty years, everyone treated you based on your parents' status and achievements. If your parents were capable, they would be very polite to you. That is not because you are excellent, but because your parents can help.
Everyone’s busy.
In the next thirty years, people will treat your parents based on your achievements. Most people just want to live a decent life, so they choose to struggle. The reason why people are human is just to have face. You see, besides humans, there are other creatures that care about face.
This thing?
When people grow up, they can keep their original aspirations and stay happy. The prerequisite is that you have money. It’s okay to have no money. That’s called being poor and happy. To put it bluntly, it’s not real happiness. I’m not saying this to say that having money is everything, but we must
Struggle, our struggle is not for anything else, it is nothing more than to dare to ride in any car, dare to enter any door, dare to drink any wine, dare to ask the price of anything and buy it if you like it.
In fact, most people do not live for themselves, but for other people's opinions, and to make their families live a better life. Just like the group of foreigners you mentioned, those old men in their seventies and eighties can still go out for a walk on their motorcycles. There are many like this in our country.
.
The premise is that people don’t have to worry about three meals a day. Instead of fantasizing now, it’s better to start working hard now, for no other reason than to at least have money to buy a motorcycle when you get old instead of waiting for relief.
Don't say that some things will disappear after they are born. If you don't try it, how will you know that it is gone? If you don't try it, I will tell you that it is definitely not there. Even if you don't get it, you can still get it from most people.
What you can’t get.”
Zhao Niuniu looked at Chen Shi, thought for a while and said, "I heard Li Xiaoxiao say that you are no longer the same as us about your high school party."
Chen Shi was a little angry when he heard it. He was not angry because of what Zhao Niuniu said, but because of Zhao Niuniu's attitude. He had been avoiding it. In fact, many people were avoiding one thing, that is, they were unwilling to admit that they could do it.
The struggle was good and he accepted his fate.
"Niuniu, do you believe me when I tell you that I only found out about my family's wealth recently? You and I have been classmates for so many years, have you ever seen me being lazy? I earned my first house by myself, and my monthly salary
I earned over ten thousand by my own ability. I admit that family environment is very important to a person, but if a person accepts his fate, what will happen in the future? If he has a child in the future, will the child also accept his fate?
It is better to change than to accept your fate. When I was in college, I met an alumnus who was not from the same class as ours. His family was poor and he did not want to study at first. He dropped out of junior high school and worked everywhere. Suddenly he felt that he could not continue like this, so he read books every day.
Then take self-study exams, self-study for junior college, work part-time while studying, and then self-study for undergraduate degree after getting junior college diploma.
After I got admitted to the undergraduate program, my monthly salary of 4,000 at the beginning became 4,500. Is it a big change? Very big. At first, he was tired from pure manual labor and his life was boring. Then with 4,500, he could sit in an office.
During the holidays, you can choose more things.
Then he took the postgraduate entrance examination and was admitted to our school. He was thirty-one at the time and was older than us. After graduating from graduate school, he earned a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, bought a house in the city, paid a down payment, and married a man from the city.
My wife, his wife has a bachelor’s degree, and he invited me to go when they got married.
Do you know what he said when we were drinking? He said that he thought his life would be like this, washing dishes, serving tea and water, working more than ten hours a day at a construction site, working as an agent, and working as an auto repairman.
Wait, there is basically no rest all year round. When I have no money to rest, I will go hungry. I dare not do anything illegal, and there will be no good results if I do it.
He was thinking at the time that he had never eaten Western food, stayed in a hotel, traveled, seen the Terracotta Warriors, or flown on an airplane. He was so envious of those film and television dramas on TV.
I feel like this doesn't belong to him.
He envied the son of the owner of a restaurant when he used to work there. He was similar to himself, and he ate, drank, and had fun every day. He felt that he would not have that fate in his life because he was born different from him.
Then one time, one of their part-time workers suddenly changed careers and worked in an office. He asked the other person what he had got, and they told him to go to school and get a certificate. Is this a certificate?
He didn't understand it very much, because many people around him said at that time what's the use of studying. College students only earn a few thousand a month after graduation, and their wages are not necessarily higher than theirs. When he was at the construction site, he could get a higher salary in one day.
Three hundred, how many college students can get so much?
But my older schoolmate didn’t think so. He was 21 at the time, so he had nothing to do but read and study. He taught himself English, saved some money, and enrolled in an English cram school. He failed the first self-study exam, and someone advised him to do so.
He just spent money to find a tutoring institution to get a certificate and that was it. But firstly, he was worried about the money, and secondly, he thought he would give it a try. The next year, he was admitted to an ordinary junior college.
At the age of twenty-six, he took the undergraduate examination by himself, and then went to work after receiving the undergraduate certificate. He found that working was different when he had a junior college certificate, and it was different when he had an undergraduate degree. He had Sundays, and he still had money without working.
There are also the rest days during the May 11th Spring Festival, the 9-to-5 lifestyle, and most importantly, the topics that people I know talk about are different.
His thoughts have become different, and he has begun to think about many things, such as the future, human nature, and some inexplicable and strange things. He took the postgraduate entrance examination three times for the last time before he was admitted to our school. After getting his graduate diploma,
He found that things had changed again, and his social environment had risen to another level.
When someone introduced him to a blind date, they were not the girls who had graduated from junior high school, or whose family background was similar to his. Someone actually introduced him to an undergraduate. She was a girl from the city who had passed the college entrance examination.
He found that he and the girl still had very different values. After all, they grew up in different environments, but he was changing and learning.
When he bought his first house, he realized one thing. His child will be a city kid in the future. His child's father has a master's degree. His child will also be able to travel around and go abroad in the future.
, although his parents have not changed at home because they no longer have the heart to learn, but he made his parents respected people in the village.
In just ten years, he found that he seemed to have changed his destiny. This was the reality. He just gave up his entertainment time to learn something that he didn't like at first and it was very painful to learn. But if
If it doesn’t hurt and doesn’t like it, in his words, it’s easy for anyone to learn it, so what’s the value?
Niu Niu, you will think that I am talking nonsense, or even that I am fooling you, but remember, as long as you live, you have to fight once. No matter what the result is, you will have learned a lot of things that will be useful in your life, at least until you are old.
You can also brag. At least when chatting with girls, you can answer what others don't understand. Even when talking about love, you can also use some beautiful words. You can't just say "I like you, I love you" and the like.
"
Zhao Niuniu stopped talking. He was speechless by Chen Shi, and finally said: "Then what do you think I should do?"
"I can't give you any advice, because I'm not you, but I can tell you that you like to play games online. I also like it. Many people like it. The most important thing is that playing games can easily bring happiness to people.
Venting, but professional players are definitely not happy. They have to train every day. Any hobby that becomes a job that must be completed is not happy, but people know what a hobby is and what a job is.
If you want to run an Internet cafe all the time, and if you want to keep doing it like this, then you have to think about how you can maintain it like this forever. Instead of knowing nothing when you reach your forties or fifties, you have to learn and make new choices. At least you
If you learn something, it will still be valuable when you are fifty or sixty years old."
Zhao Niuniu was a little confused. Internet cafes can always be opened, right? They can be opened even in their fifties and sixties.
"Think about it, how long can Internet cafes last? What if one day a new product replaces traditional computers, and everyone can get the same atmosphere as in an Internet cafe at home without going out? What should you do? You
What can you do? You like playing games, so can you learn how to make games? It may not work in the short term, but you may see results after one year, and you may be sitting in the office designing games after three years
." After Chen Shi finished speaking, he left.
Zhao Niuniu was in pain at this time because what Chen Shi said was so heartbreaking, but he could not refute it because he had never thought about his parents.
PS: Maybe after seeing this, everyone thinks that the number of words in the vest is too small, and it is nonsense. This is not the case. One of my cousins changed his destiny step by step through self-study. There is also a classmate who taught himself programming and is now in Jiangsu Province.
A certain person in the city works for a branch company. This classmate used to be a computer shopping guide. His salary was 7,000 yuan a month, but usually it was only 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. It was quite old.
Now his monthly salary is over 20,000 yuan, excluding year-end dividends, and he has settled down in Sioux City. There are many people like him around him, but most of them will not mention the past with you.
I just want to say that it is actually not as impossible as everyone thinks to change destiny or change the living environment in the future. People must not accept fate, because in life, we may not be able to drive a Ferrari with one hand, but we may be able to drive a Ferrari with one hand.
Drive A4, don't just think about it, don't let entertainment occupy your current life, learning is always the fastest and most effective way to change our destiny.
Maybe you won't see anything in the short term, but it will definitely work. Don't give up or accept your fate. The learning here is about multi-faceted, one skill. Others don't want to learn and don't want to persist. If you persist, you will be the best for others in the future.
needed.
······
Early the next morning, Chen Shi got up and found a hole in his underwear. Damn it! Brother, have you had orgasms recently? Are you going to get angry?
He opened the curtains and looked downstairs. There was a group of people gathered downstairs. It seemed like someone was getting married. He checked the time and found that today, Saturday, Chen Shi actually slept until past nine o'clock. After washing up, he ate something simple, and then
It was already around ten o'clock when I came downstairs.
When he came downstairs, he found a group of people arguing. Chen Shi stepped forward to take a look. After all, it seemed that no one disliked watching the excitement.
"Why don't you get out of the car!" The groom shouted while standing in front of the rear window. He had been standing here for about twenty minutes. It was almost eleven o'clock. He hurried to the hotel to entertain guests. Basically, wedding banquets in Jianghai City were
It is held at noon, and friends of the groom and bride are recruited in the evening. At noon are relatives and friends of both families. Generally, the main venue of the wedding is noon.
The car window was rolled down, and a young woman sat next to the bride and said: "Didn't I tell you to get out of the car for 99,000 yuan? I want good luck for a long time. If you don't give it, my bestie feels sorry for you and you want 66,000 yuan."
We don't have much left, so you won't give it to me. This money is all yours, just to show your face. Our other best friend's husband gave us 99,000 yuan for her bus fare without saying a word.
Be a grown man and be honest, let's do this, forty-four thousand, four-four as you wish, it can't be any less, any less will be boring."
"You get out of the car first, and I will give you a big red envelope later. Your relatives and friends are all waiting impatiently." The groom's mother said with a smile.
"That won't work. There can't be any less. That's all." The car window was closed again.
The groom looked unhappy and ran to the bride's car window, knocked on the car window and said: "I gave you a hundred thousand yuan as a bride price, and it was money from my credit card. Please understand, I really have no money, and I spent all my money on renovating a new house."
, come down quickly, I’ll make it up for you later, please, get off the car quickly, let’s go to the hotel to entertain relatives and friends, it’s already past ten o’clock.”
Generally, at a banquet, the table is opened around 11:30 and chopsticks are used, but the newlyweds have to go to the front of the hotel at least around 10:30 in advance to greet the guests and arrange for them to be seated. That’s why the groom is in a hurry. The most important thing is that he really doesn’t have to.
I have money, and my credit card and Huabei have no limit. To put it bluntly, I am still waiting to collect some money to repay my credit card and Huabei.
These three gifts for buying a house and decorating a house can really cost an ordinary family. Now the groom only has a WeChat balance of more than 90 yuan. He gave a gift of 100,000 yuan a few days ago, and it was still money from his credit card, otherwise the bride’s family would not agree.
Ah, at first it was 188,000 yuan, but in the end it was said to be 100,000 yuan, and now it costs so much. The groom is really a little angry.
"You want face, but I don't. My girlfriends are watching. You can borrow it today without any negotiation." The bride opened the car window and said.
Chen Shi was suddenly confused and had a bad premonition, because this kind of thing was nothing new. There was an awkward dispute over the fare for getting off the bus. Why bother? On the wedding day of a newlywed couple, why did they have to make such a fuss?
Who made this custom that you must pay a fare for getting off the bus?
Just give it, and there is also the shoe-carrying fee from the younger brother to the older sister. It means how much money to give to the younger brother to carry a pair of shoes. This is actually nothing, not much, but some younger brothers can't do it. They ask for sky-high prices if they open their mouths and don't give it.
I was still blushing, and there was also an opening fee. I went to the bride's house and gave red envelopes to the door openers. There were also red envelopes given to the groom's family who stopped the door.
This seems reasonable, but it’s so unreasonable. It all costs money. It’s just a celebration. It doesn’t matter if you have money, but what if you don’t have money? Your pocket is empty? And this money is all
Made by new people.
The most interesting thing is that the groomsmen are all telling the groom not to be angry and to join in, while the bride's bridesmaids are telling the bride not to let go. If they don't want the money now, they will lose it in the future.
In fact, to put it bluntly, marriages are not so indestructible nowadays. In the past, people of my parents’ generation used to get married, and they all thought about how each other would live their lives in the future. They all thought that divorce was a shameful thing. Now, most people think that we should get married, let’s get married.
, but the prerequisite is to live a good life yourself. Marriage is just a nine-dollar certificate. If you are not happy together, you will break up.
Even if you get married, everyone's property seems to be their own, and they don't trust each other to keep their money. Times have changed not only marriages but also values. There was once a scary statistic. In a certain area, there were more divorces than marriages.
Most people who are getting married now think that after getting married, my money is my money, not the joint property of the family. The man is afraid of adding the woman’s name to the real estate certificate, and the woman is afraid that the man will touch his private money. To put it bluntly,
We don't trust each other. When we got married, we already thought about what to do if we get divorced. You think it's scary or not?
There was something wrong with the groom's mood. Chen Shi could tell that he suddenly fell silent. The silence at this time was even more terrifying. He seemed to be thinking and making a decision.
As Chen Shi expected, the groom exploded. He suddenly shouted: "You don't want to get out of the car, right? Then you don't have to get off, dear relatives and friends! We went to the hotel to have dinner. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm going to invite you to dinner. Come on."
They are all my closest relatives and friends who have watched me grow up. I will not get married today!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your dad sent you money!" the bridegroom's mother said, hitting the groom. Most of the time, as an old man, you want to make peace but not break up. It's such a big day, and there are so many people watching.
"I'm not married anymore! I'll marry whoever I love! I'm not married anymore! It's useless for anyone to say!" The groom directly took off his sticker with the word "groom" on it, then took off his tie and suit, and directly
Leave.
Now the bride's family panicked, and the bride's father ran over directly, opened the car door and took the bride out of the car. If this spread, it would be very bad for the woman's reputation, especially if the engagement was annulled.
If this was spread, who would dare to marry his daughter in the future? When everyone found out that the husband had broken off the engagement because of money, it would be embarrassing and no one would dare to marry her.
