The world of film and television begins from childhood

But Zhou Chen continued, "If you just want to buy a computer, it's not that troublesome. The more troublesome thing is that you need an Internet cafe license, but these problems can be solved. If you really want to make money and want a stable life, I can invest in you."

"invest?"

Shen Mo asked in astonishment: "Teacher Zhou, do you mean to say that you will pay for my brother and his friends to open an Internet cafe?"

"Yes, I just happen to have some spare money, but I never thought about starting a business before. When Xiaojun and the others mentioned it, I thought of this. Opening an Internet cafe at this time is definitely a sure win, but I don't want to manage it myself. If Xiaojun and Suidong are willing to help manage the store, I can pay the money and give you a share of the profits. 70% of the profits will go to me and 30% will go to you."

"How about it, do you want to think about it?"

In the original plot, Fu Weijun had a miserable end. Although Sui Dong did not appear later, his fate was probably not much better.

Since Zhou Chen has already decided to help Shen Mo, he naturally will not watch them continue to degenerate. He will help if he can.

Fu Weijun and Sui Dong didn't say anything, mainly because they both didn't understand and didn't know how to answer. When Zhou Chen said it was a sure way to make money, they had no idea.

Shen Mo glanced at his younger brother and realized that he didn't understand the reason, so he took the initiative to ask for him.

"Teacher Zhou, if I open an Internet cafe, can my brothers really do it? They have never been involved in it before, and you only need to invest money and pay them wages, and you don't need to share the profits."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Don't think too much. Don't think I'm taking care of you. I opened an Internet cafe to make money. There must be someone to watch over it. Of course, I have to find someone I can trust. I know you guys well and I can trust you. If you are willing, I will invest in the Internet cafe. If you are not willing, I won't bother to open this Internet cafe."

"Don't be so stressed. In fact, Internet cafes and computers are not as difficult as you think. Once the Internet cafe is open, I will find someone to take charge of the technical aspects. You will mainly be responsible for management and watching the place. You must know what watching the place means."

Fu Weijun and Sui Dong nodded repeatedly. They had been hired to look after the place before. The most serious incident was a fight. Fighting was commonplace for them.

"know."

Then Zhou Chen talked to them about Internet cafes. Fu Weijun and Sui Dong listened very carefully. They were actually inclined to go to an Internet cafe. Of course, the prerequisite was that Zhou Chen was willing to invest in opening an Internet cafe.

At the end of the discussion, with the support of Shen Mo, Fu Weijun and Sui Dong both agreed to work with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was also very generous: "Since you are willing to work with me, I will ask someone to find a connection to get a license after the year, and find a suitable location for the storefront. I will also find someone to get the computer, so you just have to wait for me to make arrangements."

Fu Weijun and Sui Dong, who knew nothing, of course had no objections and said they would follow Zhou Chen's arrangements throughout the process.

After lunch, during the afternoon leisure time, Zhou Chen took out playing cards and the four of them played poker together.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Mo and the other two couldn't help but look at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen said to Shen Mo, who was closest to the door, "Shen Mo, go open the door."

Shen Mo immediately got up to open the door, and then saw a young man.

"Shen Mo?"

"you know me?"

Shen Mo looked at the boy in confusion, making sure that he did not know this person.

Wang Yang was a little embarrassed: "I have seen you before. I am Chen Ge's neighbor Wang Yang. I have a classmate who also studies at Huayi. I saw you when I went to Huayi before, but you didn't know me."

"Oh." Shen Mo was relieved, and then let Wang Yang in.

Wang Yang walked in in a daze. When he saw that besides Zhou Chen, there were two other people in the room whom he had never seen before, his expression became even more confused.

"Brother Chen, my dad asked me to come find you and told you to come to our house for New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then thank Uncle Wang for me. However, I won't be over tonight as we have guests at home."

"You've met Shen Mo too. These two are her younger brothers, Fu Weijun and Sui Dong. They will stay and celebrate the festival with me."

"Oh, okay, then I'll talk to my dad first."

As he said that, he walked to the door and shouted at the open door opposite: "Dad, there are guests at Brother Chen's house, so they won't come to our house tonight."

"Okay, I got it." Wang Xiang's voice sounded, but he was probably busy and didn't come out.

After Wang Yang notified him, he came back and closed the door.

"Brother Chen, you guys are playing cards."

Zhou Chen smiled and nodded, calling him over: "Come over and play, Shen Mo, Xiao Jun, Sui Dong, he is my neighbor across the street, Wang Yang, he will play with you."

Wang Yang was a little reserved, but finally sat down. He just looked at Shen Mo opposite him, his face turning redder than his own.

Although Zhou Chen had told him a long time ago that he had a crush on Shen Mo, and he later gave up the idea, his heart still beat faster unconsciously when he saw Shen Mo again.

Shen Mo and the other two were not familiar with Wang Yang, so Wang Yang replaced Zhou Chen, and the atmosphere of playing cards was not as lively as before.

Wang Yang didn't notice anything different and continued playing cards happily until his mother Luo Meisu called him, then he reluctantly left.

Soon it was night. Tonight was New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve dinner Zhou Chen prepared was more sumptuous than the one at noon. Shen Mo and the other two also contributed their efforts.

During this New Year's Eve dinner, whether it was Shen Mo, Fu Weijun or Sui Dong, their faces were filled with happy smiles.

For them, previous festivals were just simple days, but today was different. They felt it was very grand and very happy.

After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock. After Shen Mo and the others had cleared the table, Zhou Chen stood up.

"Come on, let's go out. We bought so many fireworks today, you have to set them off later."

Although the country has banned the use of fireworks and firecrackers a long time ago, different places have their own policies. Just like in Northeast China now, as long as you don't go too far, no one will really control it on New Year's Eve.

Even twenty years later, there are still many cities where fireworks can be set off.

Fu Weijun and Sui Dong acted as the laborers, each carrying a large box. Shen Mo and Zhou Chen also had a lot of fireworks in their hands. The group of four went downstairs in a mighty manner.

Before they went downstairs, there were already many children setting off firecrackers and fireworks around the dormitory area. Although the smell of gunpowder was everywhere, it was very lively.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 939 New hearing aid, the master appears

"A lot of people."

It was obviously a very cold night, but there were still a lot of people coming out downstairs to set off firecrackers.

Shen Mo was fine, but Fu Weijun and Sui Dong had rarely participated in such a lively scene, and their expressions became unusually complicated.

The atmosphere of the New Year is indeed lively now, and Zhou Chen also likes this atmosphere very much. Compared with the whole family staying upstairs to celebrate the New Year, this atmosphere is obviously more comfortable.

"Xiaojun, Suidong, let's go over there and release it."

The four of them came to a place with few people, and then Fu Weijun and Sui Dong began to set off fireworks happily.

When the fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded into flowers, they attracted countless eyes, and the three Shen Mo siblings were even more happy and excited.

Shen Mo showed the liveliness that a girl should have. She jumped up excitedly and danced with joy.

Fu Weijun and Sui Dong were more restrained, but they were still very happy. It's not like they had never set off firecrackers before, but this was the first time they were so happy and excited like now.

Zhou Chen stood not far away and watched the three people jumping and dancing. Although Fu Weijun and Sui Dong looked big and strong, they were actually just children who had just reached adulthood.

If this happened in the future, if parents and relatives were still around, they would most likely be living off them, but for those of them who came out of the welfare home, they had to make a living on their own, so they had never had such a relaxing moment.

Shen Mo walked to Zhou Chen's side, looked up, and said seriously: "Teacher Zhou, thank you."

Zhou Chen turned his head and asked: "Thank me for what?"

Shen Mo's eyes were full of light, and he suddenly smiled sweetly: "Everything."

Zhou Chen smiled casually, and reached out to rub Shen Mo's head affectionately.

This action made Shen Mo confused, but she soon smiled. She did not reject Zhou Chen's intimate behavior towards her at all.

Looking up at the fireworks blooming in the sky, Shen Mo murmured, "It's so beautiful."

For her, this night will be an unforgettable moment in her life. If time could stop, she hopes to be able to freeze at this moment, because at this moment, she has nothing but happiness.

"Teacher Zhou, can we still celebrate the New Year together in the future?"

"Of course, if you want."

"Ah."

After getting the answer he wanted most, Shen Mo smiled like a flower.

I bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, but when they are actually set off, they only take about ten minutes, but the good mood they bring to people can last for a long time.

…………

For the next three days, Shen Mo and the other two stayed at Zhou Chen's house. Zhou Chen and Shen Mo slept in the room, while Fu Weijun and Sui Dong slept on the sofa.

It’s not that Zhou Chen abused them, but Fu Weijun and Sui Dong just didn’t want to go into the room to sleep, and no matter what Zhou Chen said, it was useless, so he just let them do as they wished.

After the third year of junior high school, Sui Dong was detained, while Zhou Chen took Shen Mo and Fu Weijun to look for a suitable location and house to open an Internet cafe.

As for the Internet cafe license, he did not get it himself, but asked Xu Zhiyun to help find someone. For Xu Zhiyun, this was just a small matter, and she quickly told Zhou Chen that as long as everything was ready, she could immediately find someone to get the license.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. Since Zhou Chen resumed his position as a counselor, he has returned to working mode just like last year.

When I have nothing to do, I will go to the Internet cafe to do things.

The Internet cafe has been found and Zhou Chen has also bought a computer, but he did not buy a complete machine. He bought parts and assembled them himself.

Assembling a computer is not a difficult task for Zhou Chen, and while he is assembling the computer, he can also let Fu Weijun and Sui Dong learn beside him.

Assembling a computer is a technical job, but it is not very sophisticated. As long as you watch more, learn more, and then practice, it is easy to learn.

Although Fu Weijun and Sui Dong were not well educated, they studied very hard. There were a total of 40 computers, 30 of which were assembled by Zhou Chen and the remaining 10 were assembled by them.

It’s just that their efficiency is very low, and Zhou Chen found many errors, but for them, it’s already pretty good.

An Internet cafe with forty computers was definitely large-scale in this era. Fu Weijun and his friends took a tour of Hualin City and found only a dozen Internet cafes in total, and only a few in the city. The largest one had only thirty computers.

Once their Internet cafe with 40 computers opened, it became the largest Internet cafe in the city. This shows that Hualin City is really backward.

The Internet cafe is a roadside storefront with two floors. The location is not particularly good, but the flow of people is not bad. It is a bit similar to the video hall rented by Fu Weijun and his friends in the TV series.

There are forty computers, thirty of which are placed downstairs. There is a cash register, a toilet, and a snack cabinet.

There are ten computers upstairs, which are VIP areas. The fee is half that of downstairs. There is also a bathroom, and it is also the residence of Fu Weijun and Sui Dong.

Because the area was large enough, the two of them decided to live in the store so that they could look after the store conveniently without having to travel back and forth.

As for the price of Internet, Zhou Chen asked Fu Weijun and others to inquire about it. The final price was four yuan per hour downstairs and six yuan per hour upstairs.

The minimum recharge for the membership card is 100 yuan, and the membership price is 3 yuan per hour. It is 5 yuan upstairs, so a recharge of 100 yuan will be charged as 110 yuan, and so on. The more you recharge, the more you will get.

The decoration of the Internet cafe is actually very simple. The downstairs is decorated casually, while the upstairs is decorated more luxuriously. However, it was all completed in less than a month.

Zhou Chen hired a technician and asked Fu Weijun and his team to find another person. The person they found came from the welfare home with them, but he had been hanging around in society before. When he learned that Fu Weijun asked him to work in the Internet cafe, he agreed without hesitation.

For these idle people in society, isn't it a hundred times better to have a stable job that pays steady income and allows them to play games online than to get into trouble and fight with others?

Four people are definitely enough to manage a not-so-big Internet cafe.

In the spring of 98, Xingchen Internet Cafe officially opened. The Internet cafe business was really good in those days. From the opening day, there were almost always people there hours a day. Sometimes there were computers booked overnight. Except for the morning when there were fewer people, the Internet cafe was basically full from the afternoon until o'clock in the evening.

Although the average wage is not high now, there are still a lot of people who use the Internet at a membership price of three yuan per hour. Even if the membership price upstairs is five yuan per hour, there are still many people. Many times, the ten machines upstairs are even more crowded than those downstairs.

Because not only are the machines upstairs better, but it is also a non-smoking area. Whether it is the computer desk or the chair, they are several levels better than the ones downstairs and look comfortable. Many people who are not short of money and like clean and quiet places will choose upstairs.

Because it is relatively cheap to book an entire night, from 11 o'clock to 7 o'clock in the morning, eight hours costs only 15 yuan, so many people like to book an entire night. Therefore, it is very busy even at night. Fu Weijun, Sui Dong, and the younger brother who also lives in the Internet cafe, take turns to be on duty at night.

On this day off, Zhou Chen and Shen Mo went to the Internet cafe together.

Even before entering the Internet cafe, you can see how popular the Xingchen Internet Cafe is just from outside. There are dozens of bicycles parked outside the Internet cafe.

When Zhou Chen and Shen Mo walked into the Internet cafe, they suddenly felt like they had come to a world filled with smoke. Then a strange smell hit them, causing both of them to frown involuntarily.

Although Zhou Chen had prepared a ventilation system during the renovation, the space of the Internet cafe was limited. If too many people came in, odor would be inevitable.

"Brother Chen, Shen Mo."

Sui Dong, who was sitting at the bar eating melon seeds, stood up and greeted Zhou Chen and Shen Mo happily when he saw them.

Now he is also the boss of an Internet cafe. He lives a very comfortable life every day. He no longer wears tattered clothes, but has changed into a casual suit. He looks much more energetic. The only thing that remains unchanged is his Brother Haonan hairstyle.

Zhou Chen nodded at him: "Business is going well recently, haven't you encountered any troubles?"

Sui Dong replied: "It's very, very good. Every day, many people come to surf the Internet. However, there are a few computers that have problems, but they have all been fixed by Wu Ge."

Wu Ge is the technician Zhou Chen found. His main responsibility is to maintain and repair machines, and his skills are pretty good.

"That's good."

Shen Mo asked, "Where's Xiaojun?"

"Jun, Jun brother, I'm watching upstairs."

"Sui Dong, these doors and windows should be opened frequently to ventilate the room."

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Chen and Shen Mo walked upstairs. Upstairs and downstairs were like two different worlds. There was not much strange smell, but instead there was a fragrance. This was the incense that Zhou Chen asked Fu Weijun and others to light.
