Chapter 73 A good start
After ordering the machine, the two of them, led by Xiaojie, went to the first floor to recycle second-hand home appliances and ordered the same number of old TVs. Seeing that the two of them wanted a lot of goods, the boss happily arranged a truck to deliver it to Fu'an for free.
In fact, according to Liu Yufan's idea, he wanted to go directly to a large arcade. After all, in the 1990s, it was the hottest thing. However, the investment was too big, and one unit cost several thousand, so Liu Yufan had to use this thing to transition first.
When he returned to Fu'an, Ma Wendong was busy contacting the store again, and finally found a house for rent on a street closer to the school. After negotiating the price, he took his brothers to work hard.
Of course, Liu Yufan was not idle either. Ma Wendong bought too many machines at once, and there were still a few sets left in Fu'an's store. Liu Yufan simply found a rented house on the street of Zhumaying. The rent was very cheap, only 60 yuan a month. Of course, there was Xue Dongzhe's "credit" here.
Speaking of Xue Dongzhe, it is considered to be the "street" of Zhumaying. He grew up on the street since he was a child and was very familiar with everything here. He heard that Liu Yufan was going to open a game hall on the street, and this guy was even more excited than Liu Yufan, so he immediately pulled Liu Yufan to see several stores for rent. Of course, this matter was done secretly with his back. Although he knew that it would not take long, Liu Yufan still wanted to cook the "raw rice and cook" first. When the adults saw the benefits, it would be difficult to say anything more.
Of course, Liu Yufan also knew that opening this game hall is not just about equipment and houses. Since this industry is not like the Internet cafes a few years later, it is basically "secretly" open game halls at this stage. This requires "management" all the relevant departments. Liu Yufan didn't have this ability, but fortunately, Ma Wendong was there, and after running up and down for a few days, the matter was settled.
Liu Yufan didn't ask him about the specific process, "who does what he does?" Liu Yufan never wanted to ask more about the areas he was not good at.
Seeing that there are more than ten days left before the New Year, the New Year atmosphere on the streets is getting stronger and stronger.
This day was a big gathering in Zhumaying, and it was also the day when the "game hall" opened by Liu Yufan and Ma Wendong opened.
Ma Wendong was busy with Fu'an's affairs, so he sent monkeys to help Liu Yufan "stand". After contacting monkeys several times, Liu Yufan became familiar with him. Although this person looked like a slut, he was loyal to his own people. Liu Yufan did not reject him. Everyone had their own lifestyle.
After putting a whip, even if the game hall was opened, it was just not listed. After all, it was not very consistent and it would be inappropriate if it was too big.
Liu Yufan brought Wang Xiaoyong here, and looked at the six brand new game consoles and TVs neatly arranged, and Wang Xiaoyong's eyes lit up. Child, who doesn't like this thing? In this era, arcades are just popular and can't be seen here. Computer houses and Internet cafes are even far away. This kind of entertainment equipment is considered "high-end goods".
"Xiaoyong, if you are willing to do it, please help me watch the store here. The salary for the first month is set at 300 yuan, and it will be discussed according to the situation. I know that I can't hide this from my family, but try not to tell my family first, and I will explain it when they ask. Dongzhe's family is also on the street. If you have any questions, you can find him." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Three hundred!" Hearing this number, Wang Xiaoyong exclaimed. His father was working for others outside and could not earn so much money in a month. Liu Yufan suddenly offered him so much, which made him unable to accept it.
"Yufan, I'll collect money for you here. Check out the store. Is three hundred too much?" Wang Xiaoyong said uneasy.
"Don't worry, I have the final say. By the way, monkeys will come here often in the future. If there is any trouble in the store, you can find him." Liu Yufan said.
"Don't worry, Yufan, what's the trouble? I've said hello to those little brothers on the street. Who dares to make trouble in the store? Let me tell him to have a good memory!" The monkey changed his laughter just now, and exuded a sinister aura.
"Don't worry, Yufan, it's okay. Brother Monkey is still there. I'm familiar with him on the street, and nothing can happen." Xue Dongzhe also said. He was not bragging. Although he was just like Wang Xiaoyong, he didn't learn well, but Xue Dongzhe understood the matter in the street. Most of the gangsters knew him and knew that his parents worked in a department store on the street. It was called "the street". As long as he was there, he wouldn't be in trouble.
"I know you are there, I can't escape you!" Liu Yufan said with a smile, then patted Xue Dongzhe on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yong in the store is too busy alone. If you have time in the evening, you can help him see the store or something, and the salary is half of his."
"Come on, I'll have to pay me a salary? I can just play games for free." Looking at the two rows of game consoles, Xue Dongzhe's eyes shone. His addiction to gaming is only greater than that of Wang Xiaoyong.
"Haha, then I'm not polite. Don't worry, as long as the machine is empty, you can play casually whenever you come." Liu Yufan said generously.
Several people were chatting, and several young and half had already walked in.
"Look at what this place is for." One of the fat guys said while lifting the curtain.
When he entered the door, he saw two rows of game consoles, the fat man's eyes shone and he hurriedly greeted a few companions who had not yet come in.
"Oh, hurry up, there are so many game consoles!" the little fat man shouted in surprise.
It doesn't matter if this shout came in at once, seven or eight young men, fifteen or sixteen, came in at once. Looking at the game consoles all over the room, everyone showed an excited look on their faces. This thing is still a rare thing here, and there are not many people at home. Most people have not played it before, but they have only watched others play it a few times. This time I saw so many of them, and it was still very shocking.
"Do you want to play? One dollar is an hour." The monkey said loudly.
"Give me an hour!" The fat man who had just come in immediately took out a dollar and handed it to Wang Xiaoyong behind the counter. The latter pointed to the No. 1 machine closest to him, and then recorded the boot time in the notebook. These were all taught by Liu Yufan, and there was nothing complicated about it. You can learn it once.
With the lead, the other people also sat in front of other machines and started playing. Two people who did not turn on the machine also sat behind others and watched with relish.
"Ha, there is Super Mary here, and Conra."
"I have a Street Fighter, come on, let's fight."
The children quickly had a lot of fun. Not long after, several groups of people came in one after another, and six machines were quickly filled. The children who had no machines had to stand behind others, watching others play while waiting for the empty machines. Later, the house was simply filled, and the children who received the news were squeezed outside the door and couldn't get in at all!
Seeing this hot situation, except for Liu Yufan, several people were stunned.
"This guy is too popular! It would be great to have two more units!" Such thoughts emerged from several people's minds at the same time.
It was almost noon, Liu Yufan bought steaming pancakes, meat wraps and a few bottles of soda for monkeys, Xue Dongzhe, Wang Xiaoyong and others, and specially made a bottle of Erguotou for monkeys. The few people simply ate and chatted in the store. From time to time, those who were on and off the machine came to Wang Xiaoyong to register. He became more and more skilled and soon got into the state. Looking at this situation, Liu Yufan was very satisfied. In later generations, Wang Xiaoyong had the talent for business, and it seemed that this thing was brought by him since he was a child.
The business has a lot of income, which is 60 or 70 yuan. If it is at this rate, it will be nearly 2,000 yuan in a month. Even if the salary, rent, water and electricity given to Wang Xiaoyong, the net income can reach more than 1,000 yuan. What's more, with income, you can continue to expand! Imagine the bright future of the future, Liu Yufan showed an excited smile. He has finally had his own "career".
Of course, Yafan Celebration also has his shares, but Liu Yufan only came up with a creative idea at the beginning and gave some guidance later. In his heart, he would rather regard the store as Jiang Ya's "care for him". But this game hall is different. Although it is a little smaller, it is not so in line with the rules, and it is a partnership with Ma Wendong... No matter what, this is actually made by himself.
"With money, you can change your piano, go to the class of famous teachers, buy better equipment, and even open a small music studio, it is possible..." Liu Yufan was yelling in his heart in this simple game hall.
A phone ringing rang, which was only to facilitate contact with Ma Wendong. Few people knew the number, and Liu Yufan probably called it by Ma Wendong.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Yufan picked up the phone on the table, Ma Wendong's hearty laughter came from inside.
"Yufan, I'm telling me how did you have a brain? Ah?" Ma Wendong's voice obviously had unconcealed excitement on the other end of the microphone.
"Haha, what's wrong, Brother Dong?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile. In fact, he knew that he had become so popular here, and the more prosperous Fu'an could be wrong?
"It's so popular, it's so hot Yufan! I haven't stopped people here for a day, haha, this game hall is just a money printing machine, awesome! At this speed, we can drive into the car by the end of next year!" Ma Wendong was obviously in a good mood, and his voice was full of excitement!
"Hehe, Brother Dong, you're going wherever you are. After a while, we'll go on the street after a while. Then you'll know what it's really popular." Liu Yufan also smiled.
"Arcade? What kind of thing is that?" Ma Wendong had never seen an arcade and was a little confused.
"You will know then, haha, Brother Dong, there is really no problem with the police station and the cultural industry and commerce side?" Liu Yufan asked again worriedly. This thing was the one he was most worried about. After all, this thing was unruly. If someone checked it every day, he would be afraid that it would be closed in a few days.
"Just be willing to give me a hundred and twenty hearts. I have said hello, I have eaten what I should eat, and I have delivered what I should give. Nothing will happen." Ma Wendong said.
"Well, Brother Dong, I don't worry about doing things. These places are all masters. When you have nothing to do, you should contact them more often and don't be reluctant to invest. When our development scale is larger in the future, there are still many places to use them." Liu Yufan reminded.
"Hehe, you need to say this? Don't worry, Xiaofan, just build the game hall and leave the outside to me. We will be fine with the two swords combined, there is absolutely no problem!" Ma Wendong said with a big smile.
