As Li Ze looked at the two paintings, Li Dong felt a little nervous.
"I wonder if my dad can understand my doodles, or if he'll realize that I'm going to use the internet cafe I drew on the internet cafe that will open in Shanghai…
" After all, I'm not even eight years old yet. No matter what I say, he definitely won't listen or believe me.】
[I can't just tell him that I'm your son who was reborn from the future, so you'll listen to me, right?】
Li Ze couldn't help but laugh when he heard his son's worry.
However, his expression remained unchanged."Yes, Xiao Dong, these two drawings of yours are quite good. Especially this one. It looks a little similar to the internet cafe I'm planning to open in Shanghai.”
Li Ze pointed at the relatively simple drawing that wasn't an internet cafe.
Li Dong was stunned and glanced at Li Ze suspiciously.
[Eh, could it be that Dad really thought of renovating the internet cafe in Shanghai like this?】
[Forget it, I don't care. Regardless of whether Dad really thought of this on his own or he thought that it was a good idea to do it that way after seeing my painting, he deliberately said that for the sake of his face. Anyway, the result is the same.】
Hearing his son's inner thoughts, the corner of Li Ze's mouth twitched.
This little brat, he really…kept complaining about his father.
Forget it, it was his child after all!
After
seeing his son's drawing, Li Ze already had an idea of what to do with the internet cafe in Shanghai.
The next morning, he took the train to Shanghai.
Three hours later, Li Ze finally arrived.
As soon as he walked out of the station, Li Ze could not help but sigh when he saw the tall buildings and the heavy traffic on the road.
Shanghai was indeed a big city.
The tall buildings and the cars on the road…
Tsk tsk, they were much, much better than the ones in Jiang Zhou!
For the next two days, Li Ze began to run around Shanghai. On one hand, he was checking on the Internet cafes in Shanghai, including the decoration, environment, facilities, and so on.
The other was the price.
The internet cafe in Shanghai was indeed much better than the small internet cafe in Jiang Zhou in all aspects. It was also better than Li Ze's two internet cafes in Jiang Zhou.
However, compared to the drawing drawn by his son, Li Dong, it was still a lot worse.
As for the internet cafe fees in Shanghai, Li Ze had visited more than ten of the larger internet cafes, and they were basically 3.5 to 4.5 yuan per hour.
It was much cheaper than Jiang Prefecture.
It was a big city, so it was inevitable that the competition would be fierce.
Apart from checking the business situation of the other Internet cafes, Li Ze was also looking for a suitable location and shop to open an Internet cafe.
However, Shanghai was too big. In just two to three days, he couldn't go everywhere.
After considering the issue of renting a shop, Li Ze finally chose to rent a shop in the Pu Dong District that was about 500 square meters in size.
The monthly rental reached 32,000 yuan!
After all, this was Shanghai.
Even in the Pudong New District, the rental price was not something Jiangzhou could compare to.
In addition, there were three universities nearby. After the internet cafe opened, there was basically no need to worry about customers.
After renting the shop, Li Ze immediately contacted the local construction team in Shanghai and asked the designer to produce a renovation blueprint according to his requirements.
Basically, it was based on the picture drawn by his son, Li Dong.
It was similar.
It was just that the details were more perfect.
However, the renovation of the internet cafe this time was not something that could be done in a week or so. According to the renovation team, it would take about one and a half months.
It was just right for Li Ze.
He did not have much money on hand at the moment. After paying three months 'rent and three months' deposit, he had less than 200,000 yuan left.
Next, he had to buy renovation materials, pay for the renovation team, purchase computer tables and chairs, ventilation equipment, air conditioning, and so on. He had no spare money to buy a computer.
With more than a month's buffer time, Li Ze would be able to rely on the two Internet cafes in Jiangzhou to recover a million yuan.
At that time, purchasing a hundred or so computers would be barely enough to open this internet cafe in Shanghai.
Of course, it was impossible for more than a hundred computers to fill the entire 500-square-meter shop.
Although Li Ze didn't plan to fill up the place with computers like Jiang Zhou, he planned to put around 300 computers.
This way, it wouldn't seem crowded.
Time flew by.
Unknowingly, it was already July 1999.
The Internet cafe in Shanghai had already been renovated.
The necessary facilities, tables, and chairs were also prepared. All that was left was to purchase the computers.
In the past month, the two internet cafes in Jiangzhou had earned about 1.3 million yuan.
It was mainly because there were already quite a number of people who had paid for their membership.
Members would directly use the money that they had previously recharged in their accounts and would not generate new income.
Therefore, after a month and a half, the two internet cafes only made a little more than 1.3 million.
However, with the top-up money from some new members, Li Ze still had more than 1.7 million yuan in his hands.
This was much more than he had expected.
However, the computers that the internet cafe in Shanghai needed to purchase could no longer be purchased directly from Lin Yuan.
After all, it would cost a lot more to ship the goods from here.
Moreover, Li Ze had been going to Shanghai frequently recently. On one hand, he was supervising the renovation of the construction team. On the other hand, he was also going to understand the price of computers in Shanghai.
After running the internet cafe for so long, Li Ze was no longer the computer novice he used to be.
It could be said to be at the fingertips of the current mainstream configuration.
Based on what he knew, the price of a computer with the same configuration in Shanghai was actually much cheaper than in Jiang Zhou. It was even much lower than the price he got from Lin Yuan.
After all, this was Shanghai.
The competition in all industries was much greater than in small cities.
In addition, the mainstream configuration of the 1999 computers was already a level higher than that of the 1998 computers.
However, the price was lower than in 1998.
Li Ze, who was no longer a computer novice, went straight to a local computer dealer in Shanghai this time. After comparing the goods, he finally came to an agreement.
The price of each computer was lowered to 8100 yuan, and the configuration was the current mainstream. It could guarantee that it could run most of the popular computer games on the market.
Although the dealers in Shanghai couldn't do what Lin Yuan did, paying half of the deposit in advance and settling the remaining balance in a month.
However, Li Ze now had more than 1.7 million yuan.
And he bought 200 computers at once!
However, Li Ze had chosen a high-end configuration for 50 of the computers. Each of them cost about 2,000 more.
Li Ze planned to place these 50 high-end computers in the booth area and the women's section.
It was also because Li Ze had a large stock that he was able to lower the price to such a low level.
With the remaining money, Li Ze had to open up the internet for the internet café.
In Shanghai, it was already popular to go online, log in to various BBSes, chat rooms, and so on.
Chatting with strangers from all over the world was undoubtedly a very trendy and fashionable thing.
Everything was ready. The League of Legends Internet Cafe in Shanghai finally opened on July 13th!
It was the weekend.
Li Ze had specially rushed over to Shanghai the day before.
In addition, Chen Kuan was transferred to Shanghai to take charge of the daily management of the Internet Cafe.
Although Li Ze had also hired two network administrators and a few cashier and service staff, he still trusted Chen Kuan more.
After all, Chen Kuan had been following Li Ze for a few months, and Li Ze knew him very well.
Of course, Li Ze also gave Chen Kuan a raise.
It doubled, reaching 1,600 a month.
