Xiang Nan then began to make preparations.
For him, opening an Internet cafe has no technical content.
He personally went to Sanhao Street in Shengjing and purchased a batch of computers. Then he rented a shop in front of Huayi and opened an Internet cafe.
Xiang Nan also spent a lot of effort to apply for a business license, but in the end the Internet cafe was opened.
After discussing with Shen Mo, Sui Dong and Fu Weijun, Xiang Nan named the Internet cafe "Dream Internet Cafe".
Because this Internet cafe inherits the dreams of the four of them.
They all hope that the Internet cafe business will be prosperous and will help them make a fortune in the future.
After the opening of the Dream Internet Cafe, business was indeed very prosperous as Xiang Nan expected.
First of all, in the 1990s, computers were still a rare thing, and many people were curious and willing to try them. Secondly, there were already many games at that time, which were also very attractive.
For example, "Monopoly", "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Xuanyuan Sword", "Diablo", "Three Kingdoms", "Warcraft", "Red Alert" and so on.
Sanlai Dream Internet Cafe is the first and only Internet cafe in Hualin. Therefore, not only people from Huayi University came to play games online, but also students from Hualin University of Technology and Huagang's children came to play.
Hence, the business of the Internet cafe is very booming. There are a total of thirty machines, and there is almost no free time. There are a lot of people queuing up to get on the machine in the evening.
Hence, in the first month, the Dream Internet Cafe earned 50,000 yuan. Excluding water, electricity, Internet fees, etc., the net profit was as high as 20,000 yuan. Seeing this profit, Shen Mo, Sui Dong, and Fu Weijun were all surprised.
I didn’t expect that opening an Internet cafe would make so much money. It’s really great.
As for the video studio, it was sold by Sui Dong and Fu Weijun. It was sold for a total of five thousand yuan, which was considered good.
…
Seeing that the Internet cafe business was so good, Xiang Nan subsequently invested heavily, not only buying the shop next door, but also increasing the number of computers in the Internet cafe to 80.
As a result, this Internet cafe will make more money.
The monthly turnover was more than 100,000 yuan. At that time, it was definitely a daily income. This also made Sui Dong and Fu Weijun very happy.
The two of them grew up in an orphanage, scraping by by playing tricks and sneaking around. How could they ever make so much money? Nowadays, they earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, and they are seriously rich.
Although they still have to repay Xiang Nan’s initial investment, they have already seen a bright future.
Happier still is silence.
She has been worried about her brother's future.
My younger brother has no education, no education, no skills, and his future prospects are originally very slim. But now, by opening an Internet cafe, my younger brother can earn 10,000 yuan a month, which is more than a university professor.
This freed her from having to worry about him.
“Wang Yang, I really want to thank you.” She said again. Although she didn’t know how many times she had said this, she was really, really grateful to Xiang Nan.
"I told you before, don't be polite to me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Your brother is my brother, and I hope he lives well."
Fu Weijun’s fate in the play is very tragic. He has been deaf and mute since he was a child. After his parents died, he was abandoned by Shen Dongliang because of his physical defects and was given to others as an adopted son. But after the family had their own child, they cruelly threw him into the orphanage. Even children with normal physiology are easily bullied in orphanages, let alone a deaf-mute like him.
While he was in the orphanage, he was bullied a lot. Because of this, when he grew up, he became accustomed to using violence to solve problems, and he went on petty thefts and fights with Sui Dong and others.
Later, Shen Mo came to Hualin to reunite with him, and he also met the woman he fell in love with at first sight—Yin Hong. But what he didn't expect was that the girl he liked would help a Hong Kong businessman to humiliate his sister.
What he didn't expect was that his sister would go dark and kill Hong Kong merchants and Yin Hong. In order to protect his sister, he chose to take the blame himself.
As a result, he lost his closest family members and the woman he loved most. As a result, he died alone in prison at the age of thirty-eight at a young age.
It can be said that Fu Weijun has never had a good life for a few days in his life, which is really heartbreaking.
Now that Xiang Nan has the opportunity to help him, he can make up for this poor man.
…
Unlike Dream Internet Cafe, which is booming and making money every day, Huagang's profits have become worse and worse in the past year.
Although the murder of Lu Wenzhong did not have a big impact on Hua Steel, Hua Steel quickly found a new raw material supplier, so production did not stop.
Although the external troubles have gone away, internal silverfish such as Song Yukun and Xing Jianchun are still gnawing at the foundation of birch steel. Therefore, by the first half of 1999, there was already news that the factory was going bankrupt, liquidated, and laid off.
This made the employees in the factory uneasy, trembling, and walking on thin ice, for fear that the factory would really close down. At that time, I will be laid off and diverted, lose my income, and have no food and clothing.
“Dad, will everything be okay at the factory?” Xiang Nan asked Wang Xiang at the Wang family’s dining table.
“You are so idle, I don’t believe that such a big factory can go bankrupt.” Wang Xiang waved his hand.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. So many big factories have gone bankrupt, let alone Hua Steel." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Dad, if the factory goes bankrupt, have you considered the future? "
"What are you thinking about? I was born here and grew up here. I entered the industry at the age of eighteen, and it has been thirty years now. The factory is still there." Wang Xiang said resolutely.
“Dad, people always have to find a way out.” Xiang Nan advised, “If the factory really fails, don’t worry too much about it. Our family will never worry about running out of money.”
He knew that Huagang would definitely go bankrupt. Even if Wang Xiang is not on the list of the first batch of layoffs, he will definitely be on the list of the last batch of layoffs.
It's just that Wang Xiang worked hard in the factory for half his life, and devoted most of his life to the factory. If the factory really closes down and he is laid off and diverted, he will definitely be mentally affected.
Xiang Nan was afraid that he would not be able to survive the illness, so he was vaccinated in advance.
“Look, how loud is his tone?” Wang Xiang looked at Luo Meisu and said.
"Isn't it good for you, son? These days, I heard that the No. 1 Cotton Spinning Factory and the Red Star Machinery Factory are diversion of laid-off workers, and they have bought out their seniority. I think Hua Steel is also in danger." Luo Meisu advised, "He Dad, don’t be so stubborn, if something really happens to the factory, you have to think about it.”
At the end of the 1990s, not only Huagang, a state-owned enterprise, was in trouble, but the entire environment was not good. Therefore, bankruptcies, restructuring, and layoffs are common and have become commonplace.
It is reported in the news every day, and it is hard to even think about it.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Wang Xiang waved his hands in disgust. He was most annoyed by hearing bad news about the factory.
Xiang Nan sighed when he saw this.
If the factory really collapses, their family’s life will not be affected. After all, his income is already higher than that several hundred yuan salary. I'm just worried that Wang Xiang won't be able to accept it.
