Chapter 86: First Encounter Internet Cafe
Luo Wenjie didn't know what Chen Fan was going to prepare.
But since Chen Fan said he needed to prepare, Luo Wenjie could only continue waiting.
Ever since finding out that the Starry Sky Internet Cafe was opened by Chen Fan, Luo Wenjie no longer regarded Chen Fan as an ordinary roommate.
The next day, Chen Fan asked Luo Wenjie for the USB drive he had prepared in advance.
In front of Luo Wenjie, he inserted it into the computer and saved a small program onto it.
"What is this?"
Luo Wenjie asked curiously.
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained," Chen Fan instructed. "You just need to remember to open this small program when the time comes."
"Alright. I'll do as you say."
Luo Wenjie rubbed his hands in anticipation.
"Are you sure this method will work?"
Chen Fan pondered for two seconds, "Even if it doesn't work, we can at least annoy him."
Luo Wenjie sneered.
"As long as we can tarnish the reputation of the Huiteng Internet Cafe, in the future, there will only be fewer and fewer customers there."
"Our goal will also be achieved."
After speaking, he put the USB drive into his pocket.
"Alright. You just wait and see what happens next."
Luo Wenjie bid farewell and left.
Chen Fan sat in his seat, still considering what to do next.
However, the phone on the desk rang.
The caller was Lanjisu's boss.
Over the phone, he revealed a piece of inside information to Chen Fan.
"Next Tuesday, the higher-ups will come to inspect fire safety on our street. You should prepare for it in advance."
Chen Fan was taken aback, "Are you sure?"
"Don't worry. The information is accurate. The money I've spent over the years wasn't for nothing."
Hearing him put it that way, Chen Fan realized that the other party must know someone higher up and had received this information from them.
If so, this information was likely accurate.
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Chen Fan's mind, as if he had thought of something.
"Luo Wenjie..."
Chen Fan slapped his forehead and rushed out of the office.
Finally, on the street in front of the Huiteng Internet Cafe, Chen Fan caught up with Luo Wenjie.
"Let's go back first. Today's action is canceled."
Luo Wenjie was puzzled.
"Canceled?"
"Let's go back first, and I'll explain."
Luo Wenjie was full of questions, but he turned around and followed Chen Fan back.
"What's going on? We've been preparing for so long, and now we're not doing it?"
Chen Fan spoke in a low voice, "There's information that next Tuesday, the higher-ups will be coming to inspect fire safety."
Being smart, Luo Wenjie immediately realized something.
"Damn. You're planning to get Zhang Xiaojun killed, aren't you?"
"Heh..."
Luo Wenjie excitedly rubbed his hands together.
"This is getting interesting."
"This time, that bastard will either die or at least lose his skin."
Chen Fan looked at Luo Wenjie with admiration, appreciating his quick thinking.
"Now you understand why I asked you to come back, right?"
Luo Wenjie sneered.
"I understand, I understand. Don't worry; I'll visit the Huiteng Internet Cafe again next Tuesday."
"This time, brother will give him a big one."
Since the Starry Sky Internet Cafe was still closed for renovations, Chen Fan went to the other street in the university town that afternoon.
The renovations at the second location were almost complete.
When Chen Fan arrived, the workers were clearing out the renovation debris.
Chen Fan inspected the place thoroughly and didn't find any problems.
He then found the foreman and happily settled the remaining bill.
After settling the account, Chen Fan gave the foreman a pack of cigarettes he had bought on the way.
"Mr. Zhang, please give this to the workers. They've all worked hard these days, working overtime for the renovations of my shop."
The foreman was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and accepted the cigarettes.
"Mr. Chen is considerate."
"I, Zhang, have done so many jobs, but you're the first boss who is easy to talk to and doesn't make too many demands."
"I'll accept these cigarettes on behalf of the brothers."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "How long will it take to clear out all the debris?"
"Is Mr. Chen eager to open for business?"
"It's not that I'm eager to open, but I hope it can be done as soon as possible."
"I see. Don't worry. Since you're being generous, we can't be unscrupulous."
"Alright, I'll tell the brothers later, and we'll all work overtime to try and clear out the debris for you by this afternoon."
Chen Fan smiled.
"Thank you very much."
"Hey, if Mr. Chen has any other jobs in the future, don't forget about us."
"Don't worry. I'll come to you guys again next time."
The foreman took the cigarettes and went out to distribute them to the workers. When they saw they were Soft Chinese cigarettes, everyone excitedly shouted that Mr. Chen was very generous.
Before dusk, all the debris was finally cleared out.
Chen Fan immediately contacted the factory and asked them to deliver the ordered computers the next day.
The next day, Chen Fan spent the whole day at the new shop, working with the installation technicians sent by the computer company to install the computers.
There were nearly a hundred computers, all with the best configurations, totaling over 300,000 yuan in value.
Chen Fan had to be very careful and attentive.
The five installation technicians worked the entire day and finally finished installing all the computers.
As night fell, the custom Internet cafe sign that Chen Fan ordered was also delivered.
"First Encounter Internet Cafe."
Looking at the large characters on the sign, Chen Fan smiled with satisfaction.
Life is like a first encounter.
Naturally, this name was also meant to commemorate his romance with Su Ruochu.
He had someone hang up the sign immediately.
Chen Fan stood at the entrance, looking at the initial form of the Internet cafe in the hall, feeling very satisfied.
Next, he needed to find people to clean, install refrigerators, and purchase sofas and other resting furniture...
Chen Fan estimated that within a week, the First Encounter Internet Cafe should be able to officially open for business.
He had a feeling that this shop's location was excellent.
When it opened, the business should surpass even the Starry Sky Internet Cafe.
At that time, the two Internet cafes would bring him at least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in income per month.
This earning efficiency was simply terrifying.
Of course, Internet cafes would only be popular for a few more years. As personal computers became more widespread and mobile phones became a must-have for everyone, Internet cafes would start to decline.
By then, Internet cafes would essentially become a sunset industry.
However, Chen Fan was not worried.
Because he never planned to operate the Internet cafes for more than a dozen years.
As long as these two Internet cafes could help him earn quick money steadily for five or six years, accumulating enough capital to start his own business, that would be mission accomplished.
Moreover, even if the Internet cafes didn't work out later, he still had the property deeds for these two shop spaces. Selling them could also earn him a decent profit.
It was a secure investment with no risk of loss.
Tuesday.
There were specialized courses in the morning.
Both Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie skipped class.
Chen Fan went to the Starry Sky Internet Cafe, which had reopened after the renovations.
The customer flow was still overcrowded, not at all affected by the previous temporary closure for renovations.
As for Luo Wenjie, he secretly went to the Huiteng Internet Cafe.
At 9 AM, a convoy of government vehicles appeared on this street.
Chen Fan stood by the office window, looking down at the group of officials who came out of the vehicles.
Fire department, urban management, sanitation... Wow! It seemed like a major operation this time.
Zhang Xiaojun, oh Zhang Xiaojun, this wasn't something I arranged.
It can only be said that those who commit too many misdeeds will inevitably self-destruct.
This is the heavens punishing you.
Chen Fan closed the window expressionlessly.
He thought to himself, now it's time to see Luo Wenjie's performance.
