Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

Xu Yiyang's idea is to invest in opening the first branch of the new century now, and the business area must be at least 500 square meters, and it is best to find a two-story shop.

In this way, I dedicated one of the floors as the venue for the knockout round of this competition.

Having a bigger venue to play the early game will not only increase the size of the audition knockout venue, accommodate more spectators, but also give the new Internet cafe a long-term publicity.

At the very least, the 256 teams will play all the games before the semi-finals at the site of the new Internet cafe, and their classmates will naturally go here from various colleges and universities to watch the games, which will bring great benefits to the Internet cafe. traffic.

Xu Yiyang's idea was supported by everyone.

Everyone now completely regards him as the backbone, and everyone will do what he says.

Therefore, Xu Yiyang made a request, and everyone went out separately to find a suitable venue within a five-kilometer radius near China Overseas.

This time, he has higher requirements for the venue. This time, it must not be opened in the alley again.

For an Internet cafe of five to six hundred square meters, the decoration cost will be at least about 300,000 yuan to be clean and high-end.

As for the computers, it should be able to hold 300 units.

So what Xu Yiyang thought was to use the second floor as a business area first, and put in more than a hundred computers.

Then the first floor will be used as a competition venue. Except for the computers used in the competition, all the audience seats will be placed. After the competition is over, the first floor will be used for daily operations.

Soon, Xu Yiyang took several brothers from dormitory 309 and Shen Lele together to find a suitable venue for the second New Century Internet Cafe.

This venue is not far from Fudan and Tongji, and a few kilometers away from China Overseas.

The venue is located in the outer ground floor of a small shopping mall. The mall itself is for antiques and entertainment, and the flow of people is not too large, so the outer ground floor stores are also cheaper.

The upstairs and downstairs are 660 square meters, and the monthly rent is less than 30,000 yuan.

The traffic in the mall is very convenient. There are three bus stations around. The nearest station is less than 300 meters away on foot. College students now choose to commute by bus, so this location can be said to be very convenient.

Moreover, this business is separated from the main road by a small river, so it is definitely a good place to take a break from the hustle and bustle.

Xu Yiyang went to see the room with everyone on Monday afternoon,

Make a decision immediately after reading it, don't hesitate, just leave it at that.

The previous tenant of this shop was a bar, but it is said that they felt that the area was not lively enough, so they moved out after the contract expired.

When the bar was moved, all the equipment, electrical appliances, tables and chairs were emptied out, so the upstairs and downstairs were almost two large empty rooms.

Moreover, there are relatively large bathrooms for men and women upstairs and downstairs. With such a large area, it is more than enough for an Internet cafe.

The rent is paid quarterly. If you sign a five-year long-term contract, the price will not increase in the first two years. From the third year, the price will increase by 6% every year. The rent for breaking the contract will be three months, which is very reasonable.

Therefore, Xu Yiyang directly signed the contract with the landlord, and then hurriedly went to the scalper to register and apply for a certificate, and at the same time started the renovation.

The requirement for decoration is to replace all the tiles with white tiles, the walls should also be painted with white latex paint, and the top is uniformly hoisted with an industrial-style black grid.

The lighting is also all white fluorescent lamps, and it is necessary to ensure that the brightness of the Internet cafe is sufficient.

The high-power commercial air conditioner with fully installed ceiling ensures that the cooling and heating are absolutely fast enough, even if the guests are full, they will not make the guests feel hot or cold.

Computer desks and computer chairs need to be replaced with better ones, which are more neatly arranged, look more high-end, and sit more comfortably.

At the same time, it is necessary to install large-scale overall fire-fighting equipment to ensure the fire safety of Internet cafes.

In addition, the second floor also has a reception desk and a bar.

Everyone was busy at once, each with their own division of labor, and began to prepare for the opening of the new Internet cafe.

The decoration company was the first to be established, and it was a tooling company with a good reputation. The other party also started to enter the site first to do decoration, including the fire protection system. The estimated construction period was one month.

Xu Yiyang asked the other party to decorate the first floor first, and then the second floor. In this case, the first floor can be finished in more than ten days, and it will not affect the knockout round that will start in December.

The ground promotion activity of the second CS team competition was also officially launched. This time, because Xu Yiyang received a large amount of advertising sponsorship fees, so the ground promotion did not have to work hard for everyone to run it by themselves, but directly outsourced it to the advertising company , and at the same time entrusted a survey company to investigate the effect of ground push, which is equivalent to helping him supervise the work.

At this time, almost two weeks had passed since the fire, and the heat of the fire had dropped a lot. Although Xu Yiyang would be recognized on the street, the frequency had dropped significantly.

...

While Xu Yiyang was busy working on the new Internet cafe, the weather in Zhonghai had already entered late autumn, and the temperature was getting colder.

In mid-November, a heavy rain gave Zhonghai a winter atmosphere.

Everyone put on thick cotton-padded clothes. Xu Yiyang and Chen Meng, who came from the north, were a little bit overwhelmed by the damp and cold, and they swayed from the cold every day in the dormitory.

This morning, Xu Yiyang and his group had breakfast in the cafeteria, and everyone walked to the teaching building with their umbrellas.

Walking halfway, I heard someone shouting not far ahead: "Ruo Lin, why are you going?"

At the fork ahead obliquely, a girl with a water-pink umbrella, who was trotting forward, turned her head and said, "I'll go to my pet paradise!"

"Oh, don't go, class will start soon, wait for the rain to stop before going!"

"It's okay, you go first, I'll go and see and come back."

The girl under the water-pink umbrella said with a smile, then turned around and continued to run towards the side of the road.

Xu Yiyang looked at the beautiful figure with classical beauty, and said in his heart: "Ning Ruolin, why don't you hurry to the teaching building and see the stray cats when it's raining so hard?"

Thinking of the nearly twenty stray cats, big and small, that this season might not be easy, Xu Yiyang blurted out to the people around him, "Hey, you guys go to the teaching building first, I have something to do."

After saying that, she also headed towards Ning Ruolin's Pet Paradise.

Going into the muddy grove, Xu Yiyang saw Ning Ruolin tilting her head and holding an umbrella, trying to use bricks to press a piece of plywood she found somewhere on the old desk.

It is estimated that they want to expand the area covered by the rain.

A lot of wild cats, big and small, were curled up under some old desks, but the cotton mattresses under them were already soaked.

After all, the top of the head is only blocked by the old desks, and the surrounding area is still transparent, and the ground below is directly adjacent to the dirt. The light rain can barely block it, but the heavy rain is really useless.

Xu Yiyang hurriedly stepped forward to help Ning Ruolin arrange the plywood board, then picked up two bricks from the ground to press the board down.

Ning Ruolin was startled by the sudden appearance of Xu Yiyang, she screamed and her body was startled, she was relieved when she saw that it was him, she patted her chest with her hand, and said, "Oh, I was scared to death... "

Xu Yiyang hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I should say hello to you first."

Ning Ruolin smiled, and said, "Fortunately, it's you, if someone I don't know, I guess I'd run away in fright."

Xu Yiyang smiled, changed the topic, and said: "It can't block much rain, so it's not very useful."

Ning Ruolin said: "There is no other way now, they dare not go to the teaching building to take shelter from the rain, because the security guards will catch up, and the kittens have just reached the full moon, so they can't go that far when it rains."

Xu Yiyang bent down to look inside, sure enough, the kittens who came last time hadn't opened their eyes yet, but this time they were able to stand up, one by one huddled together and stared at him with wide-eyed eyes, full of vigilance.

Xu Yiyang felt a little sympathetic, so he said: "Well, I'll find a way to build a cattery that can shelter from the wind and rain. It's best to build a larger rainproof shed at the foot of this wall to solve their accommodation problem."

Ning Ruolin looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Really?"

Xu Yiyang nodded, and said, "I'll go inquire and see where it's sold, or where I can make it."

Ning Ruolin asked: "Will the security let me in? If we want to install a rainproof shelter, we need the school's approval, right?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Then say hello to the school. I am also the president of the student council anyway, so I have to save face. The weather is getting colder and colder, but the big cat is not a big problem. The kitten is so small, I'm afraid it won't be able to handle it."

Ning Ruolin hugged the handle of the umbrella, clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you so much!"

Xu Yiyang smiled, and said in a joking tone: "Build a nest for them, not for you, why are you thanking me? If you also want to live in, thank me more or less."

Ning Ruolin smiled and nodded: "Then I will thank you for them."

Xu Yiyang stood up and said: "It's time for class, let's go. I'll take the time to say hello to the security guard and the academic affairs office. They should have no objections, and then I will start to deal with this matter."

Ning Ruolin said: "If you can find a suitable one, tell me how much it will cost, and I will work with my classmates to find a solution."

Xu Yiyang waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about it, I will arrange it."

During class, Xu Yiyang thought about making a nest for stray cats.

He originally thought about finding a carpenter to give him some money, and let him contract labor and materials to build several floors of cattery.

But if you think about it carefully, carpenters are unreliable in doing this.

Zhonghai is a place with a lot of rain in the first place, and it needs to be placed outdoors. The wooden ones may be soaked in rainwater and become moldy and rotted within a few months.

The material must be waterproof, windproof, warm, and sufficiently safe. At this moment, I really can't think of what is more suitable.

After pondering for a while, Xu Yiyang finally thought of a good thing, color steel.

Color steel is a kind of building material, and there are not many ordinary households, but there are quite a lot of construction sites.

When he was tossing out military training uniforms before, he often ran to the construction site. The workers in the project department of the construction site lived in basically prefabricated houses made of color steel splicing.

That kind of material is no problem for people to live in, and even more so for cats, right?

Thinking of this, he quickly sent a text message to Lu Sifang, the owner of the construction company he had worked with before, and asked him: "Brother Lu, do you know any companies or workers who can customize colored steel?"

Lu Sifang quickly replied: "I know, this kind is not everywhere, why do you want to use it?"

Xu Yiyang replied: "I want to order a batch of cattery houses for cats to live in."

"The cat house?" Lu Sifang said: "You really have leisure time, but this matter is easy to handle. If you have any requests, tell me, and I will ask you."

Xu Yiyang introduced the general situation.

Lu Sifang replied to him: "Okay, I understand, I will notify you as soon as there is news."

"Thank you Brother Lu."
