Regarding house decoration, Comrade Xu approached his eldest cousin Wu Changxing.
Wu Changxing worked as a mason. In the original time and space, Xu Tongdao went to the construction site with Wu Changxing to work as a small worker for a period of time. He was assured of Wu Changxing's craftsmanship and work attitude.
What's more, when he opened this barbecue last year, Wu Changxing also lent him money.
This time he had a house that needed decoration, so he would naturally consider Wu Changxing first.
Tongdao Xu not only handed over the mason's work to Wu Changxing, but also handed over all aspects of the entire decoration to Wu Changxing.
Including buying materials and finding carpenters, painters, etc.
He didn't have much time to focus on decoration matters himself, and no one in his family knew about decoration, so it was easier to leave it to his eldest cousin Wu Changxing.
Of course, before handing over all these matters to Wu Changxing, Xu Tongdao first explained in detail to Wu Changxing the effects he wanted to achieve.
He would occasionally take time to take a look, and if there was anything that was not as good as he expected, he would definitely say it.
In fact, renovating a few bungalows and a small courtyard can be done quickly. The roof was renovated in two days.
In another two days, the exterior, interior and exterior walls of several houses were repainted. After another day, the cement floors of several houses were also finished, including the ground in the yard, which was poured into concrete.
of ground.
Tongdao Xu took a look and felt that the whole yard was neat and fresh.
After the concrete floor was poured, it was stopped for a few days.
Concrete takes time to set.
A few days later, the floor tiles were laid, and then the carpenters came in to do the work.
For three main rooms, kitchen ceiling, wardrobe, bed, Eight Immortals table, benches, etc.
After the painter's work is finished, the painter begins to enter.
Time flies, the house has not yet been renovated, and school has started on Xu Tongdao Road. There is no other way, Xu Tongdao can only let him live on campus temporarily.
Anyway, the school accommodation fee is not much these days.
On the day that Xu Tonglu went to the County No. 1 Middle School to register and pay fees, Xu Tongdao did not have time to see him off in person, so he had to ask his cousin Ge Lianghua to do it for him.
He himself has to go to work at Zhiweixuan on time.
A few days later, he got his driver's license.
His cousin Ge Lianghua is still far away.
This is normal. After all, he knew how to drive in the original time and space. It would not be difficult for him to get a driver's license all over again.
On the afternoon of the third day after getting his driver's license, he also bought the second-hand van he wanted.
These days, although there are not as many cars on the roads in Shuiniao City as there were twenty years ago, there are still a lot of them. In Shazhou County, it may not be easy to buy a good second-hand van.
But in the huge Mizutori City, if you want to buy a second-hand van in 1999, you still have options.
What makes Tongdao Xu feel that his fate is strange is that this time he bought a Wuling.
It is not the Wuling Hongguang that he has driven the most in the past.
What he bought this time seems to be the earliest batch of vans launched by Wuling.
So, sitting in this silver-gray van and touching the steering wheel, Xu Tongdao felt that his fate was really wonderful.
Unexpectedly, the first van he bought when he came back was the Wuling he drove the most in his previous life.
He personally drove the car back to Shazhou County.
The driving experience along the way was certainly not a pleasant one.
But it's definitely better than a tractor.
At least the noise isn't that loud.
What's more, if he bought a second-hand car for 10,000 yuan, he wouldn't have too high requirements for it.
On the way out of the city, he subconsciously took another look at a small Internet cafe on the roadside.
He has been paying attention to this small Internet cafe for more than half a month.
He had noticed this small Internet cafe since it first appeared. Now half a month later, he noticed that when he passed the door of the small Internet cafe just now, there were all seats inside.
The small internet cafe was filled with young men and women.
This gave him a sense of urgency.
He wants to open an Internet cafe!
I want to open my first Internet cafe as soon as possible.
Because he remembered that not long after he entered society in the original time and space, Internet cafes were springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain. You could see big and small Internet cafes in the streets and alleys.
Moreover, what impressed him deeply was that all the Internet cafes he had seen were doing very good business.
Internet cafes with better locations are not only full every day, but also have people queuing up every day.
Surfing the Internet once became young people's favorite and most popular form of entertainment.
At that time, he liked it himself.
When I have free time, I also like to go in and play for two hours.
But at that time, Internet access fees in Internet cafes were very expensive.
Around 2003, an hour of playing in any small Internet cafe would cost one yuan, five yuan, or even two yuan.
Moreover, he also heard that it was more expensive before.
Currently, he has seen three small Internet cafes in the urban area.
In Shazhou County, no one has been found.
He felt like he had to hurry up.
He knew very well that for at least the next 10 years, opening an Internet cafe would be very profitable!
There are many more ways to make money than him selling barbecues or whole-sheep feasts.
As long as you have a small Internet cafe of your own, you can make money 24 hours a day.
During the day, many people come to play.
In the evening, many young people also choose to stay overnight.
If we can strive to open more Internet cafes in the next few years, it will be no different than opening a money printing machine.
Thinking about this in his mind, when he drove to Shazhou County and parked the car in front of his barbecue restaurant, Ge Lianghua and others ran out of the store and circled around the car in surprise, looking here and touching there.
I couldn't help but ask him this or that question, Comrade Xu seemed a little absent-minded.
He is still mentally planning all aspects of opening an Internet cafe.
For example, regarding funds, he is not sure whether the funds he currently has are enough.
At the beginning of August, he had more than 150,000 yuan in deposits.
Then I bought a house and renovated it, which cost more than 30,000 yuan and nearly 40,000 yuan so far.
Today I bought another second-hand van, which cost me more than 10,000 yuan.
These two expenses cost him almost fifty thousand.
However, the past month or so has been the peak season for barbecues, and business in his shop has been very good, so he saved another thirty thousand.
Calculating this, he still has about 130,000 on hand.
If I think of another way and borrow some from relatives, I might be able to raise another twenty or thirty thousand.
In this case, he can spend 150,000 to 60,000 yuan to invest in the Internet cafe.
Rent... If you don't rent a prosperous shop, the rent should be very cheap. Unlike twenty years later, the rent of any shop will easily cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a year.
computer……
He knows that computers are not cheap these days.
But he had heard before that computers and hard drives in Internet cafes could be shared, and the cost could be reduced in this regard.
Also, I don’t know if the current network cable transmission speed in Shazhou County can support the needs of an Internet cafe.
It's probably difficult.
After all, this is a county town, so it may not be as good as the urban area of Mizutori City in this aspect.
Also, if you open an Internet cafe, you must have someone who knows computers as a network administrator to maintain the normal operation of all computers in the Internet cafe.
This... you may also need to go to the city to find it.
After thinking about it, Comrade Xu suddenly had an idea - if that's the case, then why don't I go to the city to find a place to open an Internet cafe?
Isn’t it just that the rent is a little more expensive?
