Chapter 88: Let's All Get Rich Together
The Huiteng internet cafe was sealed off and suspended from operations on the same day.
This kind of news simply couldn't be kept under wraps.
In less than a day, the news had spread throughout the entire street.
It also circulated widely on the Yunhai University campus.
A student who was present at the scene vividly described the situation on the school's online forum.
The post instantly set the forum ablaze, drawing countless comments from students.
Many guys deeply regretted not being there at the time.
Of course, some were also curious about who was the talented individual downloading movies at the internet cafe.
This answer will likely never be known.
But some people did know.
After the incident, the owners of the remaining six internet cafes immediately received the news.
Almost simultaneously, the same thought flashed through their minds.
It must have been that Chen Fan who pulled this stunt.
He actually managed to take care of Zhang Xiaojun.
And he used such an unexpected method to do it.
The few of them were curious about how Chen Fan accomplished it, but also felt a sense of dread.
This kid...
Is a tough guy.
They had underestimated him before.
The last time they met for a meal, they saw his youthful and composed demeanor typical of a university student.
Little did they expect him to be so ruthless when taking action, leaving no room for the opponent to catch their breath.
Due to the students' excessive gossiping enthusiasm,
Two days later, the incident escalated further and finally made the news.
This was bad.
The Huiteng internet cafe directly became famous throughout the entire city of Yunhai.
To quickly extinguish public opinion, the authorities changed the penalty for Huiteng from suspension and rectification to permanent closure.
This was even worse.
Zhang Xiaojun could no longer operate an internet cafe.
Upon learning of this, the six owners couldn't help but feel admiration once again.
No matter what happens in the future, they must never offend this Chen Fan.
This kid is too ruthless.
Chen Fan was unaware that due to this small act, not only did he resolve the issue with Zhang Xiaojun, but he also inadvertently deterred his other peers in the industry.
At this moment, he was singing karaoke with Luo Wenjie in a private room.
This time, he didn't invite their other roommates, just the two of them.
Luo Wenjie knew Chen Fan had something to tell him.
Before Chen Fan could speak, Luo Wenjie took the initiative.
"Don't worry. Only the heaven and earth, you and I will know about this matter. Absolutely no third person will find out."
Luo Wenjie had somewhat guessed the reason Chen Fan invited him alone.
So he immediately assured Chen Fan that he would keep the secret.
Chen Fan looked at Luo Wenjie with appreciation.
He appreciated Luo Wenjie's keen intelligence.
"I trust you."
"However, I didn't call you here today because of that incident."
Luo Wenjie looked puzzled.
Chen Fan poured Luo Wenjie a glass of beer.
"Since we did this together, we're now comrades-in-arms."
"You may not fully understand what kind of person I am yet."
"But you'll come to know in the future."
"I will never wrong anyone who has helped me."
Chen Fan smiled at Luo Wenjie.
"You made a big contribution this time, even if you don't mention it, I can't pretend not to notice."
"So, I've decided to make you the manager of the Starry Sky internet cafe."
Luo Wenjie looked bewildered.
"Internet cafes have a manager position?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"They didn't before, but they do now."
This is the art of speech.
It's essentially telling Luo Wenjie that I've specially created this position for you.
As expected, after hearing this, Luo Wenjie became very excited.
"What does an internet cafe manager need to do?"
Chen Fan smiled: "For now, there's almost nothing to do."
"You just need to keep an eye on the internet cafe for me and prevent any trouble."
"Let the employees handle the other tasks."
Chen Fan raised three fingers, "I'll pay you two thousand yuan per month."
This amount may not seem like much at first.
But this was the year 2000, even the average annual salary for on-the-job workers in Pudong was only around 18,000 yuan, equivalent to a monthly salary of just 1,200 yuan.
The salary Chen Fan offered Luo Wenjie was definitely considered high.
Moreover, Luo Wenjie hardly had to do any work.
So, this money was almost like Chen Fan giving it to Luo Wenjie for free.
As expected, Luo Wenjie looked shocked.
"Really?"
"Isn't that too much?"
"We're all brothers, even if you don't pay me, as long as I can use the internet for free, I'll definitely help you keep a close eye on the place."
However, Chen Fan shook his head.
"Second Brother, you must remember, in business, the most taboo thing is relying on feelings and righteousness to maintain relationships."
"It's not that I don't trust you, but rather, this kind of relationship is the least reliable."
Luo Wenjie looked deeply at Chen Fan and nodded.
"I understand."
"But two thousand is too much. A few hundred is enough."
Chen Fan shook his head again.
"As the manager, you must earn this salary, otherwise it will be difficult to gain respect."
"Since I'm offering you this salary, it proves you deserve it. Don't dwell on this anymore."
Luo Wenjie pondered for two seconds, then gritted his teeth.
He picked up the glass of alcohol in front of him.
"Okay. Since you think highly of me, I'll definitely keep a close watch on the internet cafe from now on. There absolutely won't be any accidents."
Chen Fan smiled and clinked glasses with him.
"Let's get rich together."
Luo Wenjie also smiled.
"Haha, let's get rich together."
The First Encounter internet cafe had finally resolved all pre-opening issues.
It opened for business on November 7th.
This time, the opening was very low-key, with almost no major events or even advertising.
Chen Fan only arranged for an archway to be set up and a string of firecrackers to be lit for the opening.
On opening day, Chen Fan went to the scene.
The five newly hired employees had only received a few days of basic training before quickly starting work.
Fortunately, internet cafe employees didn't need much experience.
Chen Fan didn't make an appearance, he just walked around the store a few times. After confirming everything was normal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even without any special promotions, the First Encounter internet cafe was still packed on its first day of business.
Located on this street in the university district, there was no shortage of potential customers in the surrounding area.
College students were almost the best advertisers for internet cafes.
After a simple experience inside, most people decided to open membership cards.
This was because there was an activity offering free time with recharges.
The higher the recharge amount, the more free time received.
As a result, seventy percent of the students chose to recharge their memberships.
The internet cafe management system set up by Chen Fan showed that eighty percent of customers chose to recharge between ten to fifty yuan.
Another ten percent recharged between one hundred to two hundred yuan.
Additionally, there were five percent of members who recharged up to three hundred yuan, five hundred yuan...
Just from recharge amounts on the first day, it reached over eighty thousand yuan...
It was an absolute overnight success.
Standing on the second floor corridor, looking out at the lively main hall.
Chen Fan thought to himself that this store was a bit far from Yunhai University.
He couldn't come to this area every day.
Luo Wenjie was helping keep an eye on the Starry Sky internet cafe.
Should he also arrange for a manager position here?
And it had to be someone he trusted completely.
But...who should he find?
