Chapter 328: An Opponent Who Was Not In the Eyes of Xu Tongdao
As per the old rules, Ge Lianghua drove and Tongdao Xu sat in the passenger seat.
"Are you planning to rent the venue today?"
When starting the car, Ge Lianghua turned to ask Comrade Xu.
Tongdao Xu raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, "It's a bit late today. It will probably be dark when we arrive at the Mechanical and Electrical College. Let's go and take a look first! You don't have to rent it today. By the way, you
First, take me to see that Internet cafe that is about to open!"
"Oh, I got it."
The engine roared, Ge Lianghua put into gear, and the van jumped forward. Comrade Xu was startled, "Your skills are a bit trendy! Practice more if you have nothing to do!"
Ge Lianghua chuckled, a little embarrassed.
It wasn't long after he got his driver's license, and he was driving a manual transmission car, so it was normal for him to be unskilled.
On the road, Ge Lianghua drove not too slowly. Except for the engine stalling once at a traffic light intersection, there was generally no major problem.
Comrade Xu shook his head secretly, but did not drive himself.
It's not that he is a boss, he just wants Ge Lianghua to practice more. The more he doesn't give Ge Lianghua a chance to practice, the worse he will be at driving.
More than half an hour later.
The van came to the street where the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering is located. The road was quite wide, but the road condition was a little worse and there were many potholes on the road.
Ge Lianghua parked the car on the side of the road and pointed out the car window on Xu Tongdao's side, "Hey! It's that small Internet cafe! Look!"
Comrade Xu looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw a small Internet cafe in a row of shops on the roadside.
It's really not big.
This Internet cafe called "Xiyou Internet Cafe" only rented a store facing the street. There were two rows of computers placed against the left and right walls of the store.
Someone is cleaning inside, and I guess it may be opening in the next few days.
"Is this the only Internet cafe nearby?"
Xu Tongdao asked.
Ge Lianghua: "Well, that's right! I drove around here several times today, but I didn't see a second Internet cafe anyway."
Comrade Xu nodded slightly, "That's okay. By the way, is this the only gate of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering?"
While asking this question, Comrade Xu looked at the door of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Judging from the gate, this school is somewhat newer than the Navy, Water Bird University, and Water Bird University of Engineering.
The gate of this school is newer and more elegant than those three universities.
For example, Shuitiao University, although its reputation and prowess are much better than those of the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, when it comes to the school's gate, the gate of Shuitiao University is really not as impressive as the gates of some high schools.
One word - old!
Two words - old.
Of course, the old school gate and old campus, if interpreted from another perspective, can also be said to have a profound foundation and sufficient history.
As for vocational schools like the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, probably because they were built much later than Mizutori University, the doors of this school are much newer and more impressive.
Tongdao Xu didn't go inside to take a look, but he estimated that the teaching buildings and dormitory buildings in the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering should be newer than those at Shuiniao University, Naval Normal University, and Shuiniao University of Engineering.
"No, there's a side door over there!"
Ge Lianghua pointed to a side road not far away.
The side road is much narrower, and the two rows of sycamore trees on the roadside are very thick and old, giving it a sense of age.
"Yeah, let's go take a look! Drive!"
"good!"
Ge Lianghua immediately turned around and drove to the service road.
Comrade Xu already had a smile on his face. On the way here, he was a little worried that the Internet cafe at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering would become a strong rival to his new Internet cafe.
But what I just saw is that a small Internet cafe rents a store. Maybe the rent of this store is not low, but no matter how high the rent is, a store is just a store.
There are about twenty computers in a small store. If it is full, it will definitely be crowded. In his impression, many young people surfing the Internet in Internet cafes smoke.
He could already imagine how crowded the Xiyou Internet Cafe was when it was full, how bad the air quality was, and how noisy it was with more than 20 young people packed into such a small space.
For such an environment, "terrible" is not an exaggeration to describe it, right?
Therefore, Xu Tongdao no longer pays much attention to this Xiyou Internet Cafe.
The space of each of the three Internet cafes currently opened by Xu Tongdao is large enough. Ximendao Internet Cafe 1 directly rented a small building; Ximendao Internet Cafe 2 rented a large warehouse and renovated it; Ximendao Internet Cafe 3
We rented four rooms on the second floor of the shop facing the street, three of which were used to store computers.
So, let me ask you how old you are?
From the beginning, he had thought about renting a larger space so that when his business improved, he could add more computers to it and increase the daily profit limit of a single Internet cafe.
At present, his three Internet cafes are definitely spacious.
And for the fourth Internet cafe he plans to open, he doesn't plan to rent a small space.
He just saw the small venue of Xiyou Internet Cafe, and he immediately felt confident.
If we build a larger store, it will be able to compete with this small Internet cafe in terms of space.
If the Internet speed, cost and service are higher than that of Xiyou Internet Cafe, why should we worry about not being able to compete with this small Internet cafe?
Rent a shop on the first floor on the main street to open an Internet cafe...
Thinking about the location of the small Internet cafe, Comrade Xu smiled lightly.
"Cousin, are any of the venues you are looking for on this side road?"
When the van drove into the service road, Xu Tongdao asked Ge Lianghua.
Ge Lianghua: "Well, I found three places, one of which is on this road."
Tongdao Xu frowned and turned to look at him, "Where are the other two? On the main street just now?"
Ge Lianghua: "Well, I saw an Internet cafe opened on that main street. I thought if you want to compete with it, you should also find a store on that street!"
Xu Tongdao was speechless.
"Is it also a shop on the first floor?"
"Not all of them! One is a shop on the first floor, two rooms connected, and the other is on the second floor."
Ge Lianghua said, frowning and looking at Comrade Xu in the passenger seat, "What? Are you not considering renting a store on the main street at all? In that case, the location of our new Internet cafe will not be as good as the location of the Internet cafe just now!
"
"It's not necessary! If an Internet cafe wants to do well in the long term, the most important thing is not the location of the Internet cafe. There is no need to rent a shop on the first floor. The rent is too expensive, and the location is too conspicuous. People who like to surf the Internet may not like it."
"Oh? Really?"
Ge Lianghua was a little confused.
Tongdao Xu was not interested in explaining to him further. His eyes were already looking at the stores on both sides of the side road.
"Where is the venue you are looking for along this road?"
"In front! There is a yard in front, and a family's house is being rented out as a whole."
