In the next few days, the Ximen Road Internet Cafe became more and more popular. Whether it was during the day or at night, the number of people who came to surf the Internet was much better than on the first day it opened.
At noon and evening, it gradually started to get full.
Although the full time usually only lasts for one or two hours, such popularity has already satisfied Comrade Xu and surprised Zheng Qing and others.
"This anger is a bit like the game arcade in previous years!"
One day at noon, Zheng Qing and Comrade Xu next to him sighed with emotion when they saw the Internet cafe was packed with people.
"This is just the beginning."
Comrade Xu said lightly, with a smile on his lips.
This situation was expected by him, and he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, his business here would be even better before long.
"Is this just the beginning?" Zheng Qing was surprised and a little doubtful.
"When the arcade was the most popular, did you often go there to play?"
Xu Tongdao did not answer the question.
Zheng Qing frowned and smiled again, "Well, I'll go there every now and then."
Xu Tongdao: "That's okay for you. I remember that at that time, some people went there every day and hung out in the game arcade whenever they had time. Do you know why?"
This question is not difficult to answer. Zheng Qing said: "Because it's addictive! I get addicted after playing it."
Xu Tongdao: "The Internet is much more interesting than the game console, so the Internet is more addictive than playing games. As long as these people go online once, most of them will want to go online a second time. The third time, these people will gradually become addicted.
Becoming our regular customers, coupled with the new customers that are constantly being attracted, the new customers will gradually turn into our regular customers. Do you think...will our business here get better and better?"
Any business requires a virtuous cycle.
Once you enter a virtuous cycle, your business will get better and better, and it will be easier to make money.
On the contrary, if it enters a vicious cycle, it will go bankrupt quickly.
Zheng Qing frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slightly thoughtfully.
The logic of Xu Tongdao's words convinced him.
"Want to get rich?"
Xu Tongdao suddenly asked Zheng Qing this question calmly.
This is nonsense.
Who doesn’t want to get rich?
Zheng Qing turned to look at Xu Tongdao in surprise, "Of course, what do you want to say?"

Tongdao Xu didn't answer and asked again: "How much money do you have left? In other words, if I open a branch, do you want to invest in it? If you want to invest in it, how much money are you willing to spend to invest in it?"
Yes, seeing that the business of Ximendao Internet Cafe is gradually getting on the right track and its popularity is getting more and more popular, Tongdao Xu already wants to open a branch.
Although he currently has little funds on hand.
However, he is more aware of the preciousness of time. When Internet cafes are still a new thing, if he doesn't seize the time to open a few more branches and occupy the market first, it will not be easy to find such an emerging industry that makes money easily in the future.
As for him, he no longer has any funds on hand...
He feels that this problem can be solved completely. Who said that in doing business, you must pay for it yourself?
In the original time and space, he had heard a lot about entrepreneurial celebrities. In the early days of starting a business, he took a project plan, went around to attract investment, and used other people's money to start his own business. Although the process was not easy, the successful ones were not
few.
In the film industry, some new directors often take a script and go around to attract investment.
Although most of them failed and could not attract investment.
But there are always a few lucky people who succeed.
In contrast, Tongdao Xu already has a successful example of "Ximendao Internet Cafe" here. Facts always speak louder than words. He built the first Internet cafe, and he can use this example to convince people around him.
They used the money to open a second Internet cafe in partnership with him.
Although in this way, part of the money earned by the second Internet cafe will be paid out.
But couldn’t Tongdao Xu himself get a share of the profits from the second Internet cafe?
Moreover, the Internet cafe industry has a vast market. There are so many cities across the country. In every city, you can open a branch and bring people around you to make a fortune together. It will not affect Tongdao Xu's money.
Not only that, but in this way, people who are willing to invest can be tied to Comrade Xu's chariot. From then on, their interests are shared and they are closely related.
For example, Zheng Qing.
As long as Zheng Qing is willing to spend money to invest in a second Internet cafe with him, then... can Zheng Qing be able to leave just as he wants?
Not only can’t he leave! Zheng Qing’s whole person will be used by Comrade Xu.
After saying what he had just suggested, Comrade Xu's expression was calm at this time, and his eyes were still looking at the customers in the Internet cafe, not at Zheng Qing.
But Zheng Qing was confused by his suggestion.
Slightly startled, he frowned and looked at Xu Tongdao.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Zheng Qing asked in a low voice: "Are you serious?"
Tongdao Xu glanced at him and smiled, "If you are willing to buy shares, I am serious. If you are not willing, just think I was joking."
Comrade Xu didn't want to force this kind of thing.
No need to force it.
Even if Zheng Qing is not willing to invest, he believes that he can definitely find someone who is willing to invest.
The social atmosphere these days is different from the years before he was reborn.
Before his rebirth, many young people had the habit of excessive consumption. At a young age, they might not have even left school yet, and they owed credit loans such as Huabei.
It is now 1999, and the trend of excessive consumption has not yet taken off. Although most people, and even most families, are not yet wealthy, almost everyone has the habit of saving money.
Maybe a person who lives a very frugal life actually has tens of thousands of dollars in savings.
Everyone loves to save money.
But if there is an opportunity to make a fortune, there are a lot of people who are willing to take the plunge with their savings.
Zheng Qing frowned and looked at the smiling Tongdao Xu, then looked at the crowded scene in the Internet cafe, his expression a little hesitant.
"Can you let me think about it for two days? I'll give you an answer after I think about it, okay?"
After hesitating for a while, Zheng Qing still didn't agree.
However, his hesitant expression fell in Xu Tongdao's eyes, and Xu Tongdao knew that he was actually moved.
As long as the business of Ximendao Internet Cafe is as good as today in the next two days, the possibility of Zheng Qing refusing to take shares will be infinitely close to zero.
"Okay! You can think about it before talking, don't rush!"
"Okay! I will definitely give you an answer in two days."
Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and the smile returned to his face.
Comrade Xu nodded, "Well, then I'll leave this place to you. I'll go back to Shazhou. I may not come back tonight."
Comrade Xu said, took out his cigarette case and gave Zheng Qing a cigarette.
Zheng Qing frowned slightly again, "You don't want to attract others to buy shares, do you?"
Comrade Xu smiled, did not answer the question, and waved his hand, "Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'll leave first! Let's talk about it later!"
After saying that, he walked away, leaving Zheng Qing frowning at his back, thinking wildly.
